  Let's talk shift to football. Obviously, a lot of football news out there.
• 0:03
  It is prediction season magazines are coming out or are out. Athlones had
• 0:07
  the ole Miss I believe, five, six or seven someone there yesterday their
• 0:10
  preseason Top twenty five. Phil Steel is high on Jackson, Dart and the
• 0:15
  almost wide receivers. Will be visiting with Phil here in the coming weeks as
• 0:18
  we do annually to preview his magazine as well. One of the best in
• 0:21
  the country still, I believe. But Phil's that Ole Miss and their offense,
• 0:26
  you know, could be one of the best in the nation, one
• 0:28
  of the top five in the nation. And that's high cotton, so to
• 0:31
  speak. When you start talking about you know, you look around the country.
• 0:34
  We know that Texas and you know we've kind of calmed through this throughout
• 0:37
  the off season. Texas, Oregon, Ohio State, Ole Miss. You
• 0:42
  know, those are just some of the offenses that are extremely high powered,
• 0:47
  led by really good quarterback play, really good receiver play. And despite the
• 0:51
  fact that Ole Miss what looks like we'll do a running back by committee approach,
• 0:54
  or at least today it looks like that from the outside looking in,
• 0:57
  still one of the best offenses in the country. Yeah. No, you
• 1:00
  know, when you open a Field Steel book or if you get it digitally
• 1:03
  like I did this morning, you're you're able to start reading it now,
• 1:06
  and it's just numbers after numbers after numbers, a very analytic, computer based
• 1:10
  approached, you know, kind of compared to what Aflon and Lindy's put out,
• 1:12
  which is more kind of journalistic style so to speak, I guess.
• 1:17
  But yeah, he's very high on the passing offense for almost with dark coming
• 1:21
  back with Trey Harris, George Watkins, and then the additions they've got coming
• 1:25
  in with Juice Wells and Deane Smith and then expecting Aiden Williams and Kat and
• 1:30
  Lee to take that next step, you know, after having some freshman growing
• 1:33
  pains last season but still being contributors to different points of the year. He's
• 1:37
  got them kind of with the second projecting, you know, he throws out
• 1:41
  these averages for each phase of the offense and defense and passing offense. He's
• 1:45
  got them projected to average just under three hundred and ten yard passing yards a
• 1:49
  game, which has got them second in the SEC behind which I was kind
• 1:53
  of shocked at that three hundred and twenty two point five for LSU. He's
• 1:56
  obviously the numbers or his computers like what Nesmeyer and that offense might be able
• 2:00
  to do. But then then there's Ole Miss and then Georgia right behind him
• 2:05
  with Carson Becks, so they're right there. Then when you kind of break
• 2:07
  it down nationally, he's got Memphis from if I come through it correctly at
• 2:10
  the highest average with three thirty four, Oregon right behind him three thirty two,
• 2:15
  and then LSU and then Arizona, which you know that that West Coast
• 2:19
  stuff still plays, and then all Miss is right there at the fifth best
• 2:22
  passing offensive projection in the country, So you know that's all good news for
• 2:25
  all Miss fans. The rushing number was a little low, one seventy three
• 2:30
  point two, which you know, maybe that's not low, but especially losing
• 2:35
  Judkins, and you know, you said running back back committee, you've got
• 2:38
  to hope. You know, you can have a guy have a bad game,
• 2:40
  but the other guys have kind of got to have a good week.
• 2:43
  You can't really have them all have bad weeks one at a time, or
• 2:46
  that average will take a hit. But you know, he's obviously seen a
• 2:49
  lot that he likes, and there's also goes well for dart and you know
• 2:52
  the Heisman chatter. He's got to have good games almost you know we as
• 2:54
  we know every you know, twelve weeks. You got to have a good Saturday
