  Speaker 2: Manning cuts inside. Let it go wide.

  Speaker 1: Michael Terry blasts across for a touchdown.
• 1:50

• 1:53
  Speaker 2: to the cross. And Texas is now up by three touchdowns.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Fourth down and goal of the Texas two-guy run. Chandler's
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: out of the shotgun, has the stamp.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Looks, pumps, over the middle, intercepted by Raheem Biles!
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Biles stepped right in front of Alexander.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: It's a pick, another turnover. Forced by Texas.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: And the Longhorns hold with a minute 37 remaining in
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: the half.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: March out of the pistol, has the snap, turns, hands
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: to the relief, around again, cuts up.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: The middle, does a nice job, 25, 30, there.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Goes Brown, to the 40, relief, to midfield, to the
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: 40 and run down.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: In Ole Miss territory.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: He also thought he got face masked.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: That wasn't called.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: But a late grab with a huge run. Just when
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: the Longhorns really needed it. Into Ole Miss territory. With
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Amari Winston.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: As the fullback.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Under center.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Manning to take the snap.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: On second and goal.
• 2:48
  Speaker 10: Inside.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: The Ole Miss one.
• 2:49
  Speaker 11: Play action.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Rolling to the right side.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Arch Manning trots into the end zone.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: On a bootleg.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: And the Longhorns are back in front. A 58-yard field
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: goal drop. Trying to pull Ole Miss to the end four.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Good snap and.
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: Hold.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Kick on the way, and it's blocked. We got a
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: hand on it. Longhorn's got a hand on it. Now
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: it's January.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Who got it?
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: And it's no good. And Texas will take over.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: Banning out of the shotgun of the turn. He'll hand
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: it to Brown.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Leak cuts it up.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Center on the field.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: 40 breaks a tackle.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Outside to the 40.
• 3:31
  Speaker 11: Brown with a 20.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Well, Leak stays around.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Bouncing goes down at the 16-yard line. Parker would have
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: kept running anyway, but that's all right. He'll take that
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: down to the 16-yard line.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: A gain of 28 yards.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: How about this running game just coming to life here
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter? Now he's ready to try a
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: 33-yard field goal. Good snap and hold, the kick on
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: the way, and Gianni Spinnick's kick is good.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Spinnick knocks it through, and the Longhorns.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Have a 10-point lead with 2.25 remaining in the ballgame.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: One second left for the Dan Chandler's from the shotgun.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Pass the staff. Chandler's rolling to the right, looking to
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: heave it for the end zone.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Throws it down there. Intercepted in the end zone. Jelani
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: McDonald picks it off, and the ball game is over.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: The Longhorns bounce back with a huge win over the
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: seventh-ranked team in the country. Final score, the Texas Longhorns 34,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: the Ole Miss Rebels 27. A win on Saturday night,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: and then it's on to that other Mississippi school. Good afternoon, everybody.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Welcome to the program here on Sports Radio AM 1300,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: The Zone. and the iHeartRadio app. Glad to have you
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: with us. My name is Craig Wade. Thank you much
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: for joining us here on a Longhorns Monday, a recap
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: of the Texas game. And in looking forward, we'll hear
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: from Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkeesian. We'll also hear from
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Arch Manning. Today we'll hear from Texas men's basketball coach
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Sean Miller. And we'll look at the Texas women's game
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: as well, their exhibition win over UCLA. So we'll do
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: all that. Glad to have you with us. The producer
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: is Jake Herman, who put together that montage on all
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: of that. How'd you spend your Sunday yesterday?
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: Well, I came in here, got to produce and provide
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: some updates on the women's basketball action. Of course, part
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: of that job included keeping an eye on the NFL.
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: So I did continue my football watching afterwards. But other
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: than that, just a mellow Sunday night in. Cooked some
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: dinner at home, got some errands and grocery shopping done,
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: and got to.
• 5:41
  Speaker 12: Do a little clean out. Get ready for another big week.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So what did you cook?
• 5:46
  Speaker 12: Last night? Well, this is an Allison creation.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah?
• 5:50
  Speaker 12: Curry beef noodles.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Okay. How did that come out?
• 5:53
  Speaker 12: A little spicy for me.
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: But, you know, I'm starting to– I'm trying to be
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: a little more adaptable to what she likes to eat.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: I guess it just– and believe it or not, I'm
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: not that far from you in terms of, you know–
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: The spiciness, the level of the spicy sometimes. So I
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: get it. I understand that. As always, we appreciate having
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: your input on the program as well. You can text
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: the program. You text the word Texas followed by your
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: question or comment to 81530. And standard messaging and data
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: rates may apply. You can also reach us via the
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: talkback line. our TalkBack feature. And what you have to
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: have for that is the iHeartRadio app. Real easy, just
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: have that downloaded as well. And so do that. And
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: then once you download the iHeartRadio app, then you do
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: a search for AM13 under the zone. And after you
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: do the search for AM13 under the zone, it'll pop
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: straight up. And then you'll see the two buttons. One
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: is a white triangular button. One is a red button.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: The little white microphone, you push that button, you can
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: leave us a voice message on the talkback. But like
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: I said, also, we welcome those of you who want
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: to join us on the text line. So feel free
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: to do that. Our friend who normally pounds on Texas
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: about offense wanted to go to the special teams part
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: of the day saying, Nick Saban, Kirby Smart. Ryan Day,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Kirk Cignetti, do not have special teams issues.
• 7:35
  Speaker 12: You sure about that?
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: You ever heard of the kick six, my friend? It
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: cost Nick Saban a game against Auburn.
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: Ryan Day hasn't been able to recruit a kicker. Ohio
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: State is a kicker away from having three or four
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: national championships under Ryan Day.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. That's true. But I get what you're saying.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: We say attention to detail is what separates the great
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: coaches from all the others. No doubt. And they've got
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: to be better at that. And Sark does talk about that.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: First of all, and the thing that turned out, it
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: really wasn't even a purposeful fake punt. But that was
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: a mistake in alignment. And you can't have mistakes like
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: that on special teams. And it opened up that whole
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: side of the field. Roger and I were joking during
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: the break. We said, you know, We could have run
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: from the booth, maybe had gone around there and picked
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: up the first time. So your point is made on that.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: The onside kick is, and you'll hear Sark talk about this.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: That's one of those deals. There's two sets of hands.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: He probably doesn't have any less trust in, any more
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: trust in than those two guys. And somehow, physical mistake happens.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: They don't come down with it. Emmett Mosley doesn't come
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: down with it. And it goes right through the arms
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: as well of Grayson Littleton. Now, they aligned properly for it.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: but you still have to finish the play. So that's important. Absolutely. Now,
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: having said all that, you ask about special teams, they
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: get two field goals and they block a field goal.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: So it works both ways. And then the other thing,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: like I said, normally you're banging on us about them
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: not having a ground attack. Funny, didn't hear from you
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: about that since they ran for 207 yards in the game.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: You didn't say anything about that, but that's okay. I
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: understand what Your direction is, is this going to be
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: on all of that? And that's okay. Like I said,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: we read the text as well. So you're welcome to
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: text in the program anytime, everybody. I'm just saying it
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: does work both ways. And working both ways means they're
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: now five and two. If you want to list off things,
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: here's something you can list off. They have three wins
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: over teams ranked in the top 15. Nobody else has
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: that in the country. Do they have two losses to
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: unranked teams? Absolutely they do. Oklahoma and Florida. They have
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: two losses to unranked teams. You know who else is
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: ranked and has losses to unranked teams? Georgia. Iowa.
• 9:57
  Speaker 12: BYU.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: As of this Saturday, USC, Tennessee.
• 10:04
  Speaker 12: They finally took Iowa and USC out of the rankings,
• 10:07
  Speaker 12: by the way.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So that's five teams that had been ranked at
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: the time that they lost to unranked teams. So, and
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: I think this goes to the point, and it's not
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: just whatever defensive sarker of the program or whatever. I
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: think he made a good point about it, but I'm
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: hearing it all around college football. When folks say there's
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: a $ 50 million NIL payroll and all this kind of
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: stuff and other teams are spending 30 million, 35, there
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: should be no excuse for losing. No, what it's done
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: is it's brought the floor up for the teams that
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: are having to step in and it has affected the
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: depth of some of the higher echelon teams. That's what's
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: made for more parody this year in college football. That's
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: definitely what has made for more parody in the sec.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: There's no question about that. And, and that's why you
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: see Auburn go to Athens and beat Georgia when they're
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: number one in the country. That's why you see South
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Carolina beat Tennessee, Florida beat Texas, Texas. Oh, use a
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: little difference. It's a rivalry game, but, but still it's
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: an unranked team. Um, And Oklahoma's payroll, by the way,
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: is very similar to Texas anyway in terms of the
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: NIL commitment. So I think what it's done is it
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: has really upped the ante for the mid-level power four
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: teams to step up. That's how Minnesota beats Iowa, you know,
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: on that sort of thing. That's how a Purdue beats
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Minnesota when Purdue was a bottom feeder as well. So
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: these kinds of things do happen, and they're happening with
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: more frequency now in this age of NIL.
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: Yeah, think about the team that's coming in here on Saturday,
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: Mississippi State. I mean, they've yo-yoed all season long. I
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: know Kamario Taylor's been in and out. They went up
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: to Minneapolis, and they beat Minnesota by 30.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:59
  Speaker 12: That's how tough the SEC is.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly. So anyway, the point about the special teams,
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: absolutely agree with it. It makes a good point. But
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: they've got to, you know, it's like address certain areas.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: And then obviously giving up the strip sack fumble after,
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: you know, after Trevor Goosby went out with what appears
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: to be a season injury. There was no official word
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: on that yet. I think we'll find that out as
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: the week goes forward. But those were reports that came down. And,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: you know, there were some breakdowns in the protections on
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: those things as well. The defense also made some really
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: good plays as well, and they forced Trinidad Chambliss into
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: three interceptions, and they forced him into 40 percentile completion rate,
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: one of the hottest quarterbacks in the country, coming into
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: the ballgame. Like I say, it works both ways on
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: both the offensive and the defensive side, and you just
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: hope you're standing on the plus side at the end
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: of the day. So, all right. Coming up, we're going
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: to hear from Longhorn's head coach, Steve Sarkeesian. Also... felt
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: for the Houston Texans when it looked like they might
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: be able to pull things off and get the win
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: and get the three and four didn't happen. And so
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: the Texans fall to the Giants and overnight here, the
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Giants four, two, and one, and they're starting to distance
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: themselves in the NFC East. The Giants, hey, John Harbaugh,
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Making a difference there on that.
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: Did not see that coming. But he's making all the
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: right moves. I mean, they clearly respond to J.J.
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: McCarthy.
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: And Cam Scadaboo clearly responded to his kind of benching
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: last week.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Yep, yep. No doubt about it.
• 13:45
  Speaker 10: All right.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: We're going to get to all that. We'll get to
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: more of your questions. It is a Loghorns Monday. Glad
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: to have you with us here on Sports Radio AM
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: 13 Under the Zone on the iHeartRadio app. Here on
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: a Monday, a Longhorns Monday on Sports Radio AM 13
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: Under the Zone. Longhorns Monday is when we bring you
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: the weekly press conference with Steve Sarkeesian live at 1130
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: from the 40 Acres and the recap of it here
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: on this program starting off with his opening statement today.
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: Yes, looking back at the ball game, I think first
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: of all, a shout out to our crowd.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: 104,306 Saturdays.
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: Fourth largest crowd in DKR history. So I think speaks
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: to volumes of just the support of our fans, what
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: they've done. I think we've had four of the top
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: seven crowds all time at DKR this season alone. So
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: love the support, love Longhorn Nation, all that they're doing
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: for us. I think a couple of notes that sometimes
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: I don't even know of, and John does a great
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: job of bringing to my attention. that's four straight top
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: 10 teams we've beaten at DKR now over the last
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: two seasons. So I think our guys' ability to show
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: up against those really good teams that come in here,
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: obviously 24-2 in our last 26 at home, But a
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: couple other things I think of note, I said this
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: after the game, that's 17 top 25 wins since 2023,
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: which is more than any other school in the country.
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: And that's seven top 10 wins since 2024, which is
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: more than any other team in the country. And that's
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: our third top 15 win this season, which is more
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: than any other school in the country. Only team to
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: win three, beat three top 15 ranked teams so far
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: this year. And I think for Arch, which is pretty cool,
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: that was his fifth top 10 ranked team win that
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: he's had in his career. So some pretty cool stuff
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: that's happening. Proud of our guys, proud of the organization,
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: everybody involved to get that done. I think as far
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: as the other night goes, I love the way obviously
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: we started and played the first half of the game.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: I think we scored on four of our first six
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: possessions in the ball game. And then ultimately wrapping it
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: up at the end of the, at the end of
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: the game with the, with the 80 yard six play drive,
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: that was all runs. And then obviously then the next
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: drive to get the field goals with Relique, I thought
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: playing really good situational football, staying in bounds on the
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: one run that he popped out of there defensively. Three turnovers,
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: which we know, you know, I've been harping on this
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: for a couple weeks now, our ability to create turnovers.
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: I thought that showed up. I thought two of them
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: were really critical. Obviously, all three were, but they came
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: at when we were faced with adversity. And I thought
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: I spoke to the team about this this morning. I
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: loved the positivity and the energy when we were faced
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: with adversity Saturday night. We throw the pick in the
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: first quarter. We come right back the very next play,
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: Cryer gets the interception. They fake the punt. That drive
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: ends with Raheem Biles getting the interception. They get the
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: onside kick. The game ends with Jelani McDonald getting an interception.
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: So it's the response to the adversity that I was
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: really proud of the guys doing in the ballgame. And
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: I know I touched on last week on this. How
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: can you tell... your team is working in a way,
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: like what's something tangible to hold on to? And I
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: touched on Tuesday and Wednesday's practices. I didn't have the
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: numbers from Thursday's practice yet from an analytical standpoint. But
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: all week, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday practices, we were at 120%
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: effort comparatively to our normal practices on Tuesday, Wednesday, and
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: Thursday in practice. Well, the byproduct of that was we
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: were 125% in game So you think about what our
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: guys exuded all week long and then what they exuded
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: in that ball game. I'm really proud of them and
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: proud of the energy, the effort, the physicality in which
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: they played with. Proud of the edge that they played
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: the game with. you know, obviously we need to stay hungry.
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: Now is not the time for relief syndrome. Now is
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: the time for a mama mentality. Like we got to
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: stay hungry and nobody did it better than Kobe. So
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: that'll be the mentality going into this thing. Obviously we
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: were not perfect the other night. I recognize that. There's
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: always areas for improvement and things to look for. The
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: penalties were the first thing that stood out when you
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: go back and look at the tape. There were some
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: that were worthy, no question of calls that we need
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: to get rectified. Most notably, we had a couple plays
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: that got to the perimeter where we grabbed. Part of
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: that is on the blocker. Part of that is on
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: the runner to set those blocks. You know, when a
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: defender has leverage, we have to put our foot in
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: the ground and cut up inside of that. So we'll
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: work on that and get that fixed. Obviously, there were
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: some false start things there that our guys were, you know,
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: they felt like the defense jumped. We then jumped. We
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: didn't get those calls. We haven't gotten an interpretation on
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: that yet from the league, which we will. I'll have
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: an answer for you guys on that on Thursday. But
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: I think what's important for us defensively is understanding how
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: to play with an edge, how to play with emotion,
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: not get emotional. And I felt like that came up
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: a couple times on defense and on special teams, so
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: we got to get that cleaned up as well. So
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: all in all, it was a great win against a
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: very good football team. New challenge this week. We've put
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: ourselves in the position that we're in. We got to
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: go right back to work with the same mentality. Mississippi State,
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: obviously a very dangerous football team. Kamario Taylor is a
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: fantastic quarterback. Understandably, he's going through some stuff from an
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: injury standpoint, but we have to prepare as if he's
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: going to play because this guy is a very dangerous player.
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: They have elite speed at wide receiver. Obviously, Evans is
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: a fantastic player. but he's not the only guy that
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: runs sub-10, 200 meters. For those guys, they can really roll,
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: and Bothwell is a physical.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: Okay, so there is from Sark's press conference, that was
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: the opening statement. Then to the comments that started off,
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: Ask him about the running back situation because remember, Hollywood
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Smothers was out. Derek Cooper was ill pretty much all
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: of last week and has also had a little bit
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: of a nagging knee problem. so a lot of it
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: was falling on Relique Brown. But then Michael Terry, 41
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: tough rushing yards, scored his first touchdowns, long one, took
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: another big carry down to the one-yard line. All of
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: that set up the Arch Manning bootleg touchdown run. All
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: of that stuff, really, really important. The nuances of the
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: in-and-out use of running backs.
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: It's been an interesting year, which is part of the
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: reason why we kind of went out and got both
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: of them, because... Of the grind of the season and
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: learning our time in the SEC and the physicality and
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: the toll that it takes on the runners in our league.
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: With the expectation, I didn't know if we would have
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: both of them every week. And clearly it's been two
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: different games now, Tennessee and Ole Miss, where we didn't
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: have Hollywood. And we really didn't have a healthy team.
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: Derek Cooper where Raleigh really had to shoulder the load
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: and so it'd be nice to have them all and
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: to balance it out but we're always trying to prepare
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: for if we don't have one or the other or
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: two the caveat to this was what what a what
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: a debut for Michael Terry to really play significant snap
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: snaps at running back I thought he played a heck
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: of a game was impactful in the game not only
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: in short yardage and third down situations but but obviously
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: when he had some opportunities to carry the ball on
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: first second down so I Every week is a little
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: bit different for us. I wish they were all healthy
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: and perfect and we could balance this thing out all
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: the way through. You just play the hand you're dealt
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: each week, if that makes sense. And then, okay, here's
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: the plan. And we get together as a staff kind
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: of Thursday, Friday, and then ultimately Saturday morning of how
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: we think we can play these guys moving forward. And
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: then what are the contingency plans if one of those
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: guys gets nicked up in-game? What are we going to
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: go to next? And so, like I said, I hope
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: they're all healthy this week for us because we need them.
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: We're going to need these guys. But if not, I
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: think we have enough depth at the position where a
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: guy can be a bell cow for a week or
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: two to get us through.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: And that includes the use of the aforementioned Michael Terry.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: And if you saw Michael Terry play in high school,
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: and I did, he called a playoff game when he
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: was playing at Alamo Heights. He got used all over
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: the field. He played quarterback. He played receiver. He played
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: running back. He played DB. He was a kick returner.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: He did a little bit of everything. And so Sark
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: was asked about the transformation of Terry into a pure
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: running back.
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: You know, I think that Michael was a fantastic athlete,
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: you know, from Alamo Heights. And what a versatile player
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: he was, you know, from wildcat quarterback to wide receiver
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: to running back. even at times playing on the defensive
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: side of the ball. Um, but he was an athlete
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: by label, right? And, and so you, you try to
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: figure out, okay, where's the best way for this guy
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: to have success and looking at his body and his
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: structure and his skillset, we initially thought wide receiver, maybe
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: even an H back might be the best place for
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: him to go. Um, And then it was about halfway
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: through the season last year, maybe even almost two-thirds of
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: the way through the season, where we needed him to
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: play scout team running back. I can't remember who we
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: were playing. It might have been Georgia or somebody. And
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: the defensive coaches came to me, I think, about maybe
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: after Tuesday or Wednesday's practice, like, hey, this guy's a problem.
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: He's a problem at running back, and you might want
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: to take a look at him. So I'm watching the tape.
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: I said, shoot, they're right. So let's make the switch. Well,
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: making a switch in week seven or eight or whatever
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: it is of the season is really challenging, not so
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: much physically, but mentally. You're learning the offense as a receiver.
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: And now all of a sudden you're going back to
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: running back and you're trying to learn protections. You're trying
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: to learn run blocking schemes. You're trying to learn the
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: nuances of the fundamentals, the techniques at the position, um,
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: To Michael's credit, he worked at it, you know, and
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: he just kept kind of working at it. And he
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: had never really been a full-time running back. So there's
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: a lot of things at that position that you have
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: to learn through and grow through and the growing pains.
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: And he's worked really hard. I credit Coach Jalouk. for
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: his dedication to working with Michael. And I think we're
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: all seeing the benefits of the hard work that everybody's
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: put into this thing. And I'm really proud of Michael
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: because it could have been easy at the end of
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: the year to jump in the portal like a lot
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: of other guys do. And hey, I want to go
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: be this or be that or go somewhere and This
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: guy just stayed to the grind and stayed working, and
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: he's a really effective player for us on special teams
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: and is now finding a role and is carving out
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: a role for himself on offense, too.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Speaking of the portal, as Sark just referred to it,
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: and as we were talking about, this is the thing
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: we were talking about in the first segment. The portal
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: and NIL raising the floor for say the mid-level power
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: four conference teams and even the g6 schools as well
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: how much of an impact does it make and has
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: it indeed created more parity in the sec.
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: The transfer portal does two things right um one there's
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: a lot of really good players spread out on a
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: lot of rosters you know um it doesn't really matter
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: who you play in our league there's always been good
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: players in our conference but I think now more than ever,
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: people have depth and people are versatile. They're not just
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: good on one side of the ball. The other, they've
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: got really good depth on their team and they're, and they're,
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: and they're, they're more than equipped to, to go beat
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: anybody on the flip side for us. We've got new
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: players too, and we might not have the same depth
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: that maybe the sec, you know, top tier teams had
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: in the past. And so the combination of those two things, um,
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: I think, add up to, it creates more opportunities for
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: teams to knock teams off. If you're not playing your
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: best football that day, just about everybody's good enough to
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: beat anybody in our league. And I think that, you know,
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: I don't, I don't pretend to foresee the future, but
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: I've been kind of saying this and it's, it's now
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: starting to show itself more and more and more often.
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: And I, I have a ton of respect for Georgia, obviously,
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: and for the job that they've done, but There's no
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: game more indicative than that game at home when they
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: played Auburn at home. And how do you lose those games?
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: Three turnovers. We talk about turnovers all the time. And
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: then Auburn being equipped enough, if there's a crack in
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: the door, that Auburn can beat a Georgia on the
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: road at a place where most people don't go and win.
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: And so I think that's the best living example of
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: what that is. Now, there's rivalry games and all these
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: other things that can play into that. But I do
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: think it's the quality of teams in our league. It's
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: also the lack of depth that maybe some other teams
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: are used to having. um and there's just more parity
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: you know it just is what it is and again
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: i go back to i think that is a direct
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: result of the transfer portal and what that looks like
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: and and really good players have an opportunity to go
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: to other.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: Schools okay all right we'll hear more from sark throughout
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: the course of the day up next inconceivable on a
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: monday here on sports radio am 13 under the zone
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: in the iheart radio app.
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: Second hour of.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: The program here on sports radio am 1300 the zone
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: on a longhorns monday glad to have you with us
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: Craig Wayne, alongside producer Jay Kerman. Somebody said on the
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: text line, one word, Harbaugh. I would say two words,
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: John Harbaugh.
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: Well, that's an important distinction.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: Not going well for Jim. Jim does have a college
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: football national championship. John Harbaugh has a Super Bowl championship. So, yeah, Harbaugh. Yeah,
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: he's turned it around with the Giants. Points to our
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: man C.
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: Powell.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: He's the one who put the hardball. Also said Texans
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: not too good. Didn't help Dallas. Dallas should have waited
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: and hired. And then he mentioned about the Longhorn Divas retirement.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: It's a very physical Saturday night. Knocked Keewon Lacey out
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: of the ballgame. Who knows, maybe for the year. We'll see.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: He's been banged up. We also don't yet know about
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: Kamario Taylor. Mississippi State quarterback's been dealing with that turf-toe thing.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: He did come back and he did play in the game,
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: but he was in and out of the ballgame against Oklahoma.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: We'll get back to hearing more from Longhorns coach Steve
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: Sarkeesian here in a few minutes from the Monday news conference.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: When it jumped to basketball and the Longhorns lost their
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: exhibition game at Madison Square Garden in New York yesterday,
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: To St. John's, 87-74. Texas was down, I think, by
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: 21 and cut it down to 10 and wound up
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: losing by 13. Let's hear from Sean Miller, his thoughts
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: on this matchup.
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: Well, I think the first thing for us here at
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: Texas is this is a great experience for our guys.
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: If you look at our makeup of our roster, we
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: have 11 new players. The one player you'll recognize is Modest.
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: who played on our team from start to finish a
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: year ago. So other than Modest, who played in the
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: Sweet 16 game for us, everybody else, this is our
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: first time in front of a crowd, first time really
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: that we've gotten on an airplane together and played a game,
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: a lot of firsts. And we wanted to do this
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: because we knew this would be a difficult challenge for us,
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: and it was. I think we've learned more about our team,
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: number one, Number two, we'll be better because we've played
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: this experience, you know, practicing, staying local, just doing the
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: things we've already done. That only gets you so far.
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: We needed to be able to come up here and
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: play against a big-time opponent in a way-cored atmosphere here
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: in New York City. So I'm very grateful for the
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: opportunity to be able to be here. I wish we
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: would have played better. I wish it would have been
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: a better game. for everybody, namely us. But it's what
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: it is, and we move on. In my mind, we're
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: a week out from our season opener, and now we
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: have to really drill down and get better at some
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: things that I thought we were exposed on here today.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and a good team like St. John's will do
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: that to you. What about the St. John's team?
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: Different faces, but it's the same. You know, when you
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: play St. John's, number one, you're going to deal with
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: supreme effort. And you really feel that effort with their
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: full court pressure, half court pressure and rebounding. And, you know,
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: at halftime, we had 10 turnovers. We had that deer
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: in the headlights look. I did think we were overall
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: a little bit better in the second half. And then
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: their second shots, you know, they get them with great effort.
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: It's not just their front court players, it's their wings
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: and guards. And so I think you have to be
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: able to answer the ball, answer the bell in the
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: rebounding area. And just dealing with their pressure. You know,
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: on our end, if you have 16 turnovers and you
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: give them 13 second shots, those are the two extra
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: possession games, things that they thrive on. And I thought
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: they really exposed us.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: In that way.
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: Keyshawn Hall we're very familiar with to the point where
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: he had 31 against us in the second half last
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: year when he played Auburn. So he's an elite scorer.
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: He'll only get better. And I would say you're looking
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: at one of the Big East's overall best players there.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he is, and he was really good against Texas
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: last year in that game down at Auburn. One thing
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: that Miller was pleased about was the second half improvement,
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: both in his team's rebounding and in their defense.
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: We were better in the second half, and I think
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: that's a good sign for us. We talked a little
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: bit about that after the game, but it was a
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: low bar in the first half. I just thought they
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: were just really in control. I mean, they had 49
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: points on us in the first half. I think From two,
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: they were 15 of 19 from the floor from two.
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: And it wasn't low post scores. It was a lot
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: of drives. It was transition. They were the faster, harder playing,
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: more confident team in the first half. We were better
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: in the second half, but we weren't able to be
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: good enough at either end. to really cut it and
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: put real pressure where everybody in the arena is like, man,
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: we got a game. We entered that space a couple times,
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: but we were never really ever able to really put
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: that game pressure on St.
• 32:23
  Speaker 10: John's.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: Okay. It's weird. It's kind of a tale of a
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: couple of ball games and a tale of two halves.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: Not only were Texas playing better in the second half
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: after not playing well in the first, that was their
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: first game out in Exhibition. The Texas women had their
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: second game out in Exhibition, Remember last Monday, they lost
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: to UConn when they played well in the first half,
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: but not in the second half. Against UCLA yesterday, up
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: at the HEB Center at Cedar Park, they played pretty well,
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: pretty solidly, all the way throughout the ballgame and knocking
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: off the defending national champions. Now, it's a different UCLA team.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: Lauren Betts has moved on. She's playing in Europe. Her
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: younger sister, Sienna, was the only returning starter from that team.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: It's kind of like Modest with Texas being the only
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: returning starter from the Sweet 16 team for the men
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: a season ago. Sienna Betts, the only returning starter from
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: the UCLA women's team that won the national title, but
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: they had an influx of really talented transfers as well. Nevertheless,
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: Longhorns controlled the game pretty much from start to finish,
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: played a much better total game than they did in
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: that preseason exhibition opener a week ago. up at UConn
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: and that was one of the things I visited with
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: head coach Vic Schaefer about after the game you know
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: when we visited uh in the pre-game Vic you you
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: said we got to have uh some other guys do
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: some scoring and I think you you saw that today
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: I bet your.
• 33:48
  Speaker 9: Overall impressions of what you saw man really pleased with
• 33:51
  Speaker 9: uh with our effort um we had four turnovers at
• 33:56
  Speaker 9: half we ended up with nine I'm gonna take that
• 33:57
  Speaker 9: just about every night um You know, I thought we
• 34:01
  Speaker 9: had some kids really step up and played well tonight.
• 34:04
  Speaker 9: Preston was really good, going four for five from three.
• 34:07
  Speaker 9: That is a bonus for sure. Cunningham, monster, you know,
• 34:14
  Speaker 9: 16 and six. Really did a nice job for us.
• 34:18
  Speaker 9: Booker's got six assists, one steal, got two blocked shots.
• 34:23
  Speaker 9: She's seven rebounds. So 21 points and just had a
• 34:29
  Speaker 9: big night and Van really helped us tonight. Five for 10,
• 34:32
  Speaker 9: two for four from three. So we had some people
• 34:34
  Speaker 9: step up and that's what you want to see. And again,
• 34:37
  Speaker 9: we're trying to figure out rotations right now. We had
• 34:41
  Speaker 9: 20 points off turnovers, 34 points in the paint. And
• 34:44
  Speaker 9: I thought we really executed some great stuff. Obviously the
• 34:47
  Speaker 9: third quarter plus nine really came out of halftime and
• 34:51
  Speaker 9: I thought did what we want to do.
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: We want to punch first.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: And so just proud of our kid.
• 34:57
  Speaker 9: I thought we played way harder tonight, to be honest
• 34:59
  Speaker 9: with you, Craig.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 35:01
  Speaker 9: You know, we played hard the first half at Connecticut,
• 35:05
  Speaker 9: but I just thought we, for whatever reason, we left
• 35:08
  Speaker 9: it in the locker room. And I thought tonight, you know,
• 35:12
  Speaker 9: we played pretty hard both ends. We're still learning. Like,
• 35:15
  Speaker 9: you know, we just... We're learning the game, you know,
• 35:18
  Speaker 9: in some instances. Understanding shot clock and end of the quarter.
• 35:22
  Speaker 9: And we don't want to take a shot for 12 seconds.
• 35:24
  Speaker 9: And so, you know, just doing a lot of different things.
• 35:27
  Speaker 9: But I love the lineup tonight. I love them guards, boy.
• 35:30
  Speaker 9: It's hard to guard us now when you got those,
• 35:32
  Speaker 9: you know, you got all those weapons out there. And,
• 35:34
  Speaker 9: of course, when you go 9 for 19 from 3,
• 35:36
  Speaker 9: it just makes life easier. The media will get off
• 35:39
  Speaker 9: my butt around here if you're thinking I ain't got nobody.
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: About three pointers. Yeah, about.
• 35:43
  Speaker 9: Me not wanting people to shoot it when that's not
• 35:45
  Speaker 9: the case. I just want them to make it.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 35:47
  Speaker 9: And, uh, so, um, you know, taking 19 threes and
• 35:52
  Speaker 9: I thought all of them were good threes for the
• 35:53
  Speaker 9: most part. So, um, I probably the worst thing we
• 35:56
  Speaker 9: did went 10 for 17th free throw line. So really
• 36:00
  Speaker 9: pleased with our kids and, uh, really appreciate now Maxwell
• 36:04
  Speaker 9: and his support of this event today and the Maxwell
• 36:07
  Speaker 9: family of dealerships, just how successful You know, that guy,
• 36:10
  Speaker 9: that man is an incredible man in our community. His
• 36:13
  Speaker 9: family is such an incredible family in our community. They
• 36:17
  Speaker 9: support the hospitals and they support our program.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: And Niall is a dear friend.
• 36:22
  Speaker 9: He's somebody I just have so much tremendous respect and
• 36:25
  Speaker 9: admiration for and love him.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's just a good, good, generous man.
• 36:29
  Speaker 9: And for him to be the title sponsor today, I
• 36:33
  Speaker 9: can't say enough about him. And then finally to Corey
• 36:36
  Speaker 9: and Coach Close for coming here with her team and
• 36:40
  Speaker 9: um you know they're really good uh they're gonna be
• 36:42
  Speaker 9: great you know we're all gonna be way better in
• 36:44
  Speaker 9: a month two months three months than we were today
• 36:47
  Speaker 9: but that was their first game out of the box
• 36:50
  Speaker 9: kind of like the way we were monday night so
• 36:52
  Speaker 9: you know they'll be better the next game and and
• 36:55
  Speaker 9: she's got a lot of new faces they're just older
• 36:57
  Speaker 9: than my new faces so with.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: That in mind and you have the one exhibition game
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: left against eastern new mexico how beneficial is it now
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: with the rules changed to have the three full exhibitions
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: be able to do that? Well, I think it's a
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: great advantage.
• 37:13
  Speaker 9: Like I told you in the pregame, like next year
• 37:14
  Speaker 9: I told Elena, I want to play still these two
• 37:17
  Speaker 9: good teams.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: I just don't want to play them this early.
• 37:20
  Speaker 9: I don't know that I was ready for a Connecticut,
• 37:23
  Speaker 9: the number 10 team in the country after 15 practices,
• 37:25
  Speaker 9: 16 practices. So, you know, just understanding, yeah, we can
• 37:30
  Speaker 9: backload them, maybe play the one we're fixing to play first.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: And back load them a little bit.
• 37:36
  Speaker 12: But, you know, again, we're not going.
• 37:40
  Speaker 9: To get any better unless we play some good folks. And,
• 37:43
  Speaker 9: you know, I think our freshmen there are getting a
• 37:45
  Speaker 9: little bit of a baptism.
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: Good, bad, or indifferent.
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: It's okay.
• 37:49
  Speaker 9: Like, we've practiced 21 times.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: Like, I know what this looks like.
• 37:53
  Speaker 9: So there's not going to be any panic or anything
• 37:55
  Speaker 9: like that.
• 37:56
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: Hey, appreciate the time. Congrats on the win. Hey, you
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: know what's even better?
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: Coach Harston looks really good.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: Doesn't she?
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: Man, it's good to see her. I am so glad
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: to see her.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: And she is tough as nails.
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: Oh, well, yeah.
• 38:08
  Speaker 9: I didn't see her as a player, but they always
• 38:09
  Speaker 9: told me she was pretty tough as a player.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: And I know what she's like as a coach. So
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: I got experience with that. So it's great to see her.
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: We love her.
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: Thanks, Vic. Praise the Lord and hook them horns.
• 38:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: Vic's comment for my broadcast partner, Kathy Harston. And back
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: for another season with us working on the broadcast. The
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: women do have one more exhibition game. It'll be Thursday
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: night against Eastern New Mexico. That game at Moody Center

• 39:02
  Speaker 2: and that'll be Fairleigh Dickinson. That will be a week
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: from Wednesday night. All right, coming up back to football,
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: we'll hear more from Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkeesian when
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: we continue on Sports Radio AM 13 Under the Zone
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: and the iHeartRadio app. Got a lot of having some
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: grand funk on Monday here. A Longhorns Monday here on
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: Sports Radio AM 13 Under the Zone. Let's hear some
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: more from Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian from the press
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: conference heard earlier live today, this morning, here on the
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: zone at 1130 Sark, being asked about a variety of things.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: And it was asked to how does a coach and
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: a coaching staff, and for that matter, the players from within,
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: manage the emotional stress you know, baggage that comes with
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: a win like this. And if there are such things
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: as mental hangovers and if they are real.
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: I just felt like, um, you know, in the third
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: quarter there, we had really lost momentum of the game.
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: I mean, it was evident you guys were there. The
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: fans were there that we did not start the third
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: quarter the way we would have liked. Um, And we
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: got to a fourth, and I don't even know if
• 40:15
  Speaker 4: it was all of one. It might have been less
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: than one. And I really liked the call that we had.
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: You know, a lot of fourth downs are, do you
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: like your call that you're going to call? And I
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: really liked the call that we had, and I felt
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: like we had an opportunity to get some momentum back
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: in our side, get the crowd back in our favor.
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: And so we went for it, and we got it. Obviously,
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: that's not been the first time we've done that.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: I remember.
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: I think Florida here a couple years back going for
• 40:42
  Speaker 4: it kind of on our own 25 or 26-yard line,
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: something like that. So it's not totally foreign to us. But, again,
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: you go for it in those situations when you really
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: like the call, right? If I wasn't loving what we had,
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: that's probably a punt-type scenario. But I felt good about
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: the call, and we obviously got the first down with
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: the run to Relique. You know, I do think, you know,
• 41:02
  Speaker 4: these emotional games can– you know, there's a thing called
• 41:09
  Speaker 4: relief syndrome, right? It's like you win a game like
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: that and the natural thing is to take a deep breath,
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: sit back and make, whew, we're good. We got that win.
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: And that was my whole message to this team this
• 41:23
  Speaker 4: morning is there is no relief syndrome around here. And
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: I went through the whole definition of what is relief syndrome.
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: And then I went through the whole definition of what
• 41:31
  Speaker 4: is Mamba mentality, right? And what is that ability to reset, refocus,
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: continuing to build towards another victory the next week and
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: not just rest on a laurels of a win Saturday night.
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: And so The one thing I like about our team,
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: I think that they hear messages really well and they
• 41:48
  Speaker 4: try to apply what we talk about. And I felt
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: that today when we went back on the grass, that
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: they were engaged. They understood it. The mission this week
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: is 1-0 again because we can't think down the road
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: too far. We can't. Think about what just happened. We
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: got to think what's right in front of us, which
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: we touched on last week about the whole windshield analogy
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: compared to the rearview mirror. So we're focused on what's
• 42:11
  Speaker 4: right in front of us. It's 1-0 this week and
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: putting forth the right effort and energy in practice and
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: then taking practice to the game. And that's something that
• 42:20
  Speaker 4: we did well Saturday. I think we can do it
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: even better. But that's the mindset that we're at. But
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: I don't disagree that you can get relief syndrome after
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: an emotional win like that Saturday night. And that's what
• 42:31
  Speaker 4: we're fighting against.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: Okay, so this relief syndrome thing, it got me to thinking.
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: Unless Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb and Devontae Smith all
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: have big games tonight, My 5-1 fantasy football team is
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: going to lose to a 1-5 team. So maybe it
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: was relief syndrome for me after coming off a tightly
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: contested game and a win last week. But as far
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: as relief syndrome goes, with a guy who had to
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: play with that edge we were talking about last week,
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: Arch Manning, it was our colleague Roger Wallace asked this question.
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: Could edgy Arch... be less, you might say, susceptible to
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: the relief syndrome thing?
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, to him, you know, I think at
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: this stage, he's always responded well. You know, sometimes responded
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: really well in moments. Sometimes it was the next week.
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: And again, I thought he competed well. I mean, he
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: made some throws the other night with guys in his face.
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: The touchdown pass to Ryan Wingo is elite. I mean,
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: there's a guy in his lap and to throw that
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: ball to Wingo for the touchdown. I thought the throw
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: to Cam was an elite throw. I think the third
• 43:42
  Speaker 4: play of the game, the throw to Emmett on the
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: option route where the backers unblocked, we don't block it right.
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: And he delivers a strike. And so there were some
• 43:49
  Speaker 4: elite throws. There was some little bit of bad luck
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: involved in the game. But he'll be ready. You know,
• 43:58
  Speaker 4: Arch is always ready to go. And he's in a
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: great frame of mind, like I said, right now. I
• 44:03
  Speaker 4: think there's been a lot of fuel put on his fire.
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: He's competing at a high level. He's dialed in. And
• 44:09
  Speaker 4: I think we'll get a similar version of aggressiveness and
• 44:12
  Speaker 4: intent in the way he played. I thought he ran
• 44:15
  Speaker 4: the ball really well the other night. Short yardage, first
• 44:17
  Speaker 4: down run, couple of touchdown runs in the low red.
• 44:20
  Speaker 4: Like that's the Arch Manning that gives us the best
• 44:23
  Speaker 4: chance to be successful.
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: Back to the defense and back to the first half,
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: there was a big four down stand with Raheem Biles
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: picking off the pass on fourth down and goal. there
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: for Ole Miss late in the first half. And Sark
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: was asked to kind of diagram how that play kind
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: of unfolded. It was our friend Bobby Burton who asked
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: the question about were they positioned in that specific area
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: on purpose? Was that done by scheme or was that
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: done by player reaction?
• 44:49
  Speaker 4: You guys know me. I'm a very honest guy. I
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: don't BS you guys. I don't BS our team. We
• 44:56
  Speaker 4: were planning on playing that play a little bit differently.
• 44:59
  Speaker 4: We had practiced the play. They hadn't shown it, but
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: we had an idea that they might run it. The
• 45:04
  Speaker 4: players on the fly defended it a little bit differently
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: than we would have liked, but they did it. And
• 45:09
  Speaker 4: so now Coach Muschamp's got an opportunity to go clinic,
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: and we can be the smartest coaches in the world.
• 45:15
  Speaker 4: But it was a hell of a job by all
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: those guys. There was four of them over there sorting
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: that out because that was not an easy play. And
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: the reaction by them all to be sticky in coverage
• 45:28
  Speaker 4: and to guard it out the way that they did
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: and I was talking to Raheem about it this morning.
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: You know, this guy is a ball hawk, and his
• 45:36
  Speaker 4: first thought is pick six. but the guy grabbed his
• 45:40
  Speaker 4: hip after he caught the ball, so he ends up
• 45:42
  Speaker 4: going down. But there's the instincts that kick in, and
• 45:45
  Speaker 4: playing off of one another in a moment like that,
• 45:48
  Speaker 4: I just think is kind of indicative of some of
• 45:50
  Speaker 4: the playmaking ability we have on that side of the ball.
• 45:53
  Speaker 4: And those guys, who's involved? Jelani McDonald, Raheem Biles, Grayson Littleton,
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: three pretty good football players that played off of one
• 46:01
  Speaker 4: another and understood that, hey, This may not have been
• 46:04
  Speaker 4: how we practiced it, but I know we've got a
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: matchup three for three with a free corner on the outside,
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: and they were able to do that. So, no, we're
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: not taking credit for that one. That was the players.
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay. He was also asked about these third quarters,
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: which have just been, I called them diabolical, difficult. Sark
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: called the third quarter the other night disastrous. You know,
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: that sort of thing where they've really had some struggles
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: in the third quarter. So what does that mean about halftime?
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: What's going on in the locker room at halftime? What
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: is halftime like in the locker room?
• 46:37
  Speaker 4: At our locker room, what happens is, you know, we
• 46:39
  Speaker 4: come together always as a staff briefly to have a
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: quick staff meeting, offense, defense, special teams. And I try
• 46:46
  Speaker 4: to point out, you know, two or three things that
• 46:48
  Speaker 4: I think we're doing well and two or three things
• 46:51
  Speaker 4: that need to get adjusted or fixed quickly. We then
• 46:54
  Speaker 4: break up. Offensive staff, defensive staff, special teams. We make
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: the adjustments. We talk about some things offensively that we
• 47:01
  Speaker 4: want to get to. And then we go meet with
• 47:03
  Speaker 4: the players. And we have the ability to watch film
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: at halftime now with the new rules. And so we
• 47:10
  Speaker 4: go through some of the issues that maybe are showing up.
• 47:12
  Speaker 4: We talk through some of the things we're doing well.
• 47:15
  Speaker 4: And then we try to put up stuff so they know,
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: just like we would have openers to start the game,
• 47:19
  Speaker 4: here's what we're going to call in the second half.
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: And that's probably.
• 47:23
  Speaker 4: On offense, the most frustrating part is like, here's what
• 47:26
  Speaker 4: we're going to do. Now let's go do it. And historically,
• 47:29
  Speaker 4: that's been good to us. It just hasn't been that
• 47:32
  Speaker 4: way this year. And so like everything, I'm not opposed
• 47:36
  Speaker 4: to making subtle tweaks and changes to what we do
• 47:39
  Speaker 4: at halftime. So there'll be probably a couple things we
• 47:42
  Speaker 4: do different this Saturday night at halftime to get ourselves
• 47:46
  Speaker 4: ready to go, ready to play to start the second half.
• 47:49
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: They've also had issues on third down. It's been like,
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: three for 12, three for 13, four for 14, things
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: like that on third downs in games. So is there
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: a consistent third down issue this team is running into
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: game by game?
• 48:06
  Speaker 4: I think it's two things. One, third and long is
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: not your friend, right? As an offensive team, offensive play caller,
• 48:14
  Speaker 4: a quarterback, like, Third and 10 plus, that's never fun.
• 48:21
  Speaker 4: And we've been in, we were in too many of
• 48:22
  Speaker 4: those the other night. Some of that, we're getting penalties.
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: We're trying to draw them off. We're getting called for it.
• 48:28
  Speaker 4: It makes the situation worse. Some of that is negative
• 48:31
  Speaker 4: plays on first or second down that can cause that.
• 48:34
  Speaker 4: So that's the first part. The previous two weeks that
• 48:38
  Speaker 4: led to some of our bad numbers on third down,
• 48:40
  Speaker 4: we were horrific in third and three or less, right?
• 48:42
  Speaker 4: I think we were two for eight there at one
• 48:44
  Speaker 4: point in a two game stretch. So Your percentages should
• 48:48
  Speaker 4: be 75% or better conversion rate, third and one to two,
• 48:52
  Speaker 4: even into three. and then you want to minimize your
• 48:55
  Speaker 4: third and 10 pluses. We've had a lot of third
• 48:57
  Speaker 4: and 10 plus, and then we weren't converting, you know,
• 49:00
  Speaker 4: third and one to two to three, so you add
• 49:02
  Speaker 4: those two things up, and we got crummy third down
• 49:04
  Speaker 4: numbers here over the last month or so, so we
• 49:07
  Speaker 4: got to be better on first and second down. We
• 49:09
  Speaker 4: got to execute better on third and one to two
• 49:11
  Speaker 4: to three, which I think we were better the other night.
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: Put those two things together. That should, you know, dramatically
• 49:16
  Speaker 4: increase our numbers and be better there, but but we
• 49:19
  Speaker 4: we've got to be better on first and second down
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: to start.
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: Okay all right um sark did not make an official
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: announcement about trevor gooseby uh the all of the reported
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: things is that it's a season-ending knee injury uh he'll
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: be out for the rest of the year there's nothing
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: official from the university on that yet we'll find out
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: more obviously with the release of the SEC student athlete
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: availability report coming on Wednesday. However, Sark was asked, how
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: does the possibility of not having Goosby change what he
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: wants to do with his offensive line and as a
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: play caller?
• 49:54
  Speaker 4: Going back and watching the tape, I thought Andre played
• 49:56
  Speaker 4: a pretty good game for, you know, you don't know
• 49:58
  Speaker 4: you're going to go in, then you get thrown into
• 50:00
  Speaker 4: live action in that level of intensity of a game.
• 50:05
  Speaker 4: You know, I, What the challenge is, is when you're
• 50:08
  Speaker 4: not used to playing, and then all of a sudden
• 50:11
  Speaker 4: you play 50-something plays in a row, is it's not
• 50:14
  Speaker 4: so much the physical intensity, it's the mental intensity, especially
• 50:17
  Speaker 4: as a left tackle. And you can't have those plays
• 50:21
  Speaker 4: where you think, hey, let me relax right here. Because really,
• 50:23
  Speaker 4: that's kind of what happens on the sack fumble. I
• 50:26
  Speaker 4: think he felt like he was in a little bit
• 50:28
  Speaker 4: of a comfort zone, a little bit of a groove.
• 50:30
  Speaker 4: And boom, next thing you know, he gets beat, sack, fumble,
• 50:33
  Speaker 4: balls out, bang, touchdown in the game. changes that quickly.
• 50:38
  Speaker 4: So I think there's a mental intensity component. I think physically,
• 50:41
  Speaker 4: Dre's more than capable, and there was a lot of
• 50:43
  Speaker 4: really good plays that he made in that game as well.
• 50:45
  Speaker 4: So we'll monitor it as we go. We'll always assess
• 50:48
  Speaker 4: our opponent, where are their strengths, weaknesses? Are there opportunities
• 50:52
  Speaker 4: when we can help him in different ways? But we
• 50:55
  Speaker 4: have the utmost confidence in Dre that he's going to
• 50:56
  Speaker 4: go out and play good football for us.
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: Okay. He was also, and Dre, of course, you know,
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: he was talking about Andre Kojo being able to go there.
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: the special teams things and and uh the the weird
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: pump thing it wasn't a fake pump but it unfolded
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: out into a run for a first down obviously the
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: onside kick was really bizarre with the way that bounced
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: off some people so sark was asked about those two
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: parts of the special teams issues.
• 51:25
  Speaker 4: The other night was funky uh you know i went
• 51:28
  Speaker 4: through it like The fake punt, and it ends up
• 51:32
  Speaker 4: being a fake punt, really wasn't a fake punt. It
• 51:36
  Speaker 4: was a normal punt with a rugby punter that we
• 51:39
  Speaker 4: didn't set the edge. And so he's like, well, let
• 51:42
  Speaker 4: me just keep running. And we've seen that gone the
• 51:45
  Speaker 4: other way where the punter goes to run it and
• 51:47
  Speaker 4: he doesn't make it. And so it's a risky play
• 51:50
  Speaker 4: on the punter's part. Their guy's obviously got a lot
• 51:52
  Speaker 4: of confidence. He's been there a while. So that part
• 51:54
  Speaker 4: was pretty disappointing that we just didn't do the simple
• 51:57
  Speaker 4: thing to set an edge and not let him get
• 51:59
  Speaker 4: outside and roll and they should be putting the ball
• 52:01
  Speaker 4: back to us. The onside kick. replay the tape all
• 52:06
  Speaker 4: over again. I still love Emmett Mosley in that position, right?
• 52:10
  Speaker 4: I mean, he's got the best hands on our team.
• 52:12
  Speaker 4: He's a confident guy. He's an experienced guy. I love
• 52:15
  Speaker 4: him in that position. He didn't, it just didn't happen. Like,
• 52:18
  Speaker 4: like sometimes like, we're all human. Sometimes we trip walking
• 52:22
  Speaker 4: down the side, like it can happen, right? And we're
• 52:25
  Speaker 4: gonna practice it more to build more confidence in that role.
• 52:29
  Speaker 4: It comes off of them. I don't know if there's
• 52:31
  Speaker 4: another guy I'd want on our defense to say, hey,
• 52:34
  Speaker 4: the ball's in the air, just catch it. Grayson Littleton.
• 52:37
  Speaker 4: He lands, the ball comes out. So sometimes that's going
• 52:40
  Speaker 4: to happen. But schematically, man, we block one, we block two,
• 52:44
  Speaker 4: we block three. I'd love to maybe move Grayson over
• 52:47
  Speaker 4: a little bit more to block the fourth guy. But
• 52:51
  Speaker 4: you have to align the balls on a tee. They
• 52:53
  Speaker 4: can kick it either way. You have to deploy people properly.
• 52:55
  Speaker 4: We had Ryan Niblett move up. We felt good about it.
• 52:59
  Speaker 4: We didn't make the play. That's going to happen sometimes.
• 53:01
  Speaker 4: It's no different than we throw a post to Cam
• 53:04
  Speaker 4: Coleman and I'm going to throw more posts to Cam Coleman.
• 53:07
  Speaker 4: Sometimes you just don't catch it. Like that's human nature.
• 53:10
  Speaker 4: It can happen. Um, and so those are more glaring
• 53:14
  Speaker 4: than putting the ball down the middle and our coverage
• 53:18
  Speaker 4: lanes are off and getting a punt return on you
• 53:20
  Speaker 4: or having a blown pump protection and getting a pump block.
• 53:24
  Speaker 4: The two the other night were probably a little bit more, um,
• 53:28
  Speaker 4: Simple that I think we can fix and rectify quicker
• 53:32
  Speaker 4: than not. And so, again, but that's not to take
• 53:36
  Speaker 4: away a great field goal block by Alex January. That
• 53:39
  Speaker 4: was a huge, impactful play by special teams in the game.
• 53:42
  Speaker 4: Not to mention he blocks an extra point. that still
• 53:44
  Speaker 4: goes through and is good. He gets his hands on
• 53:46
  Speaker 4: that too. So we're going to remain aggressive. You know,
• 53:49
  Speaker 4: the week before we get a punt return for a touchdown.
• 53:51
  Speaker 4: So we got to remain aggressive, but we got to
• 53:53
  Speaker 4: do the simple things well too. And I think that's
• 53:55
  Speaker 4: where the point of emphasis is right now.
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: All right. We'll hear some more from Sark coming up
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: next hour. We've got some NFL stuff to get to
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: next on Sports Radio AM 13 Under the Zone on
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: the iHeartRadio app. Perhaps no words, no truer words ever
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: spoken in the entertainment industry.
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding.
• 54:22
  Speaker 4: How could you have any pudding if you don't eat
• 54:25
  Speaker 4: your meat?
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: All we are is another brick in the wall.
• 54:30
  Speaker 12: There it is. You sound like Gary Oldman a little
• 54:33
  Speaker 12: bit there.
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of British there. Okay, NFL notes. They
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: were able to play the game in Paris yesterday. There's
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: a lot of concern about that. They've had a lot
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: of civil unrest there in the capital of France. But
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: they did play. But there were issues. Among those, they
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: had to cancel a fan-watching Steelers event there for those
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: who didn't have tickets to that. Stade de France for that.
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: And then they had some other problems. You see, you
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: can have some shortcomings at a lot of pro sporting events,
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: especially in the NFL, but there's one thing you cannot
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: run out of. Food. And they did.
• 55:23
  Speaker 6: The French are already, current events aside, they're already known
• 55:27
  Speaker 6: for being pretty particular and easily irritated.
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: Sacre bleu. They... Ran out of food before halftime. A
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: game that attracted nearly 80,000 fans, but the stadium's concession
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: services reportedly struggled to meet demand. Several attendees claimed food
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: options had disappeared before the break, leaving many spectators searching
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: for alternatives. So they ran out of food before the half.
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: They have somebody else, somebody else said, French have run
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: out of food in the stadium. Just beer left. So
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: at least there was... that but five different concession stands
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: were checked 75 people in line at food trucks ran
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: out of food so next stop Madrid this week so
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: that's that's the next one it's gonna ask Almeida yeah
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: so that'll be that'll be this week all right the
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: Texans of course had played overseas and then and then
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: got a win and For whatever reason, they're not able
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: to win at home. Still unable to win at home.
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: Lost to the Giants in overtime, 27-21. By the way,
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: did you see the deal where the Giants tried to
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: do duck goose after the touchdown? And I forgot who
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: it was. One of the Texans just stepped right in
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: the middle of the circle. No, you're not doing that here.
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: Not on our field.
• 56:53
  Speaker 6: If only they defended the end zone a little better
• 56:56
  Speaker 6: before the touchdown instead of after.
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: And also the penalties, which D'Amico says they got to fix.
• 57:03
  Speaker 4: Penalties are ridiculous.
• 57:04
  Speaker 14: It keeps happening over and over again, so we got
• 57:08
  Speaker 14: to find a way to fix it or get different
• 57:11
  Speaker 14: people in so we don't have the same mistakes over
• 57:14
  Speaker 14: and over again.
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: Okay, next he was asked about Tank Dell getting him
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: back on the field.
• 57:18
  Speaker 14: It was very electric seeing Tank come out of the tunnel.
• 57:21
  Speaker 14: It was really an awesome moment. You felt the energy
• 57:25
  Speaker 14: from our crowd. You felt the emotions running high with
• 57:28
  Speaker 14: him running out of the tunnel for the first time
• 57:30
  Speaker 14: in two years and then be able to see him
• 57:33
  Speaker 14: create an explosive pass for us there. It's fun to watch.
• 57:38
  Speaker 14: Really excited for Tank, proud of Tank for all the
• 57:40
  Speaker 14: work he's put in, and happy that he was able
• 57:42
  Speaker 14: to contribute today by getting some plays out there. This
• 57:46
  Speaker 14: is just a start for him. Expect to continue to
• 57:49
  Speaker 14: increase his load and see him do more. for us
• 57:51
  Speaker 14: and create more explosive plays.
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: All right and what is his plan to get back
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: up to the standard he's expecting from his team we.
• 57:58
  Speaker 14: Keep playing we keep practicing well we keep I mean
• 58:00
  Speaker 14: going out putting the work in like we got it
• 58:03
  Speaker 14: at the end of the day football man it comes
• 58:05
  Speaker 14: down to blocking and tackling running the football the fundamentals
• 58:08
  Speaker 14: of the game doesn't change so we got to block
• 58:10
  Speaker 14: better not hold not hurt ourselves with penalties we got
• 58:14
  Speaker 14: to We got to protect better. We got to be
• 58:16
  Speaker 14: able to beat man coverage. We got to be able
• 58:18
  Speaker 14: to cover in man coverage. We got to be able
• 58:21
  Speaker 14: to tackle.
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: That's football.
• 58:23
  Speaker 4: No magical elixir.
• 58:25
  Speaker 14: Is going to drop out of the sky and, oh.
• 58:28
  Speaker 4: Now you're going to fix it.
• 58:29
  Speaker 14: We fix it by putting the work in and getting
• 58:31
  Speaker 14: better at fundamentals of football, and that's where we got
• 58:35
  Speaker 14: to just own it as coaches, as players. We all
• 58:38
  Speaker 14: got to own it, and we got to find a
• 58:39
  Speaker 14: way to turn this thing around.
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: All right. Yeah, they'll try to get a turnaround, but
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: it's been tough for the Texans. Of course, the Cowboys
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: play the Eagles tonight. Both teams in sore need of
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: a victory. You can hear that on 98.1 FM KBET,

• 1:04:08
  Speaker 3: This one.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 18: From 48 yards to.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 9: Send us to overtime from the left hash mark.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 3: Snap is down.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 2: The kick is up from Afrote.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 3: And the kick is no good.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: Wide left. Texas State wins it.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: That's our own Cameron Parker with a call. Texas State's
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: Bobcats radio network from Learfield. The walk-off miss. By Utah
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: State that kept Texas State in front for the win
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: on Saturday. And now the Bobcats have won four in
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: a row. And they've kind of started, or they're now
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: above 500 at four and three. So, you talk about
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: a challenge this way, they go to Boise.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 12: And Boise's playoff odds with the other results this week?
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: On the rise.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: Especially with James Madison losing last week, too. So, that helps.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: So we'll see. And New Mexico beating North Dakota State.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 2: Knocked them off the pedestal. They are being really in contention.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: New Mexico is still in contention for that. Dare I
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: say it, UTSA still has a shot. North Texas still
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: has a shot. And they have to play each other still.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 6: I've seen some people arguing UTSA should be ranked. I mean,
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 6: their only loss is here in Austin.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 9: Yep.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: It's a fair question. By the way, ESPN College Game Day.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 2: Did you see where they're going this week? Did I
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 2: read right that it was Bloomington? They're going to Bloomington, Indiana. Indiana, Minnesota. Now,
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 2: Minnesota's coming off that upset of Iowa. They got to
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: go to Bloomington.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 12: Is it an upset? I know the odds maker.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: Well, Iowa was unbeaten and ranked, right?
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 12: Odds maker said it was. Now, Iowa, they had dropped
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 12: the game to Ohio State.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 2: Ohio State, right, right. But Minnesota had lost to Purdue.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 12: Yeah, and Mississippi State.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So, anyway, they're going to be there. Florida, Georgia's
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 2: this week. Somebody I saw pointed out, you know, yes,
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 2: but Florida plays Kentucky in a couple of weeks. Maybe
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 2: they keep their powder dry to go to Gainesville in
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 2: a couple of weeks.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 6: I heard Stanford Steve say that they were going to
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 6: go to Chapel Hill for UNC Miami before UNC lost
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 6: to Clemson.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 12: Or not to Clemson, to Syracuse.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: To Syracuse. And now, obviously, we know what they're holding
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: out on November 7th. That's to go to South Bend.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: for Notre Dame Miami. It makes sense on that. So anyway,
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: they're going to go there for that. Arch Manning today
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: at the press conference was asked a couple of things.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 2: First of all, he was asked how he continues to
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: play with that edge that was so documented last week.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 2: That's the plan.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 5: That's what I got to go to. I feel like
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 5: I play best that way. So getting in that frame
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 5: of mind. before and throughout the games is what's key
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 5: for me.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 2: Okay, getting into that frame of mind, how do you
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: get into the mindset of continuing to play with the edge?
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: I think it helps when you're coming off two losses.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 5: But I think we had a really good week of
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 5: practice and just kind of carried it over to the game.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: All right, does he need to be even more of
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: a leader than he has been with Trevor Goosby out
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: for who knows how long?
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 5: That's a big blow. Trevor is a vocal leader and
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 5: did everything right. So just continuing to step up and,
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 5: you know, back to work this Monday.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 2: All right. He was also asked how the team can
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 2: be better in the third quarter since they've had issues
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: in there.
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 5: We've got to start fast in the second half. I
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 5: feel like we've done a good job in the past
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 5: few weeks of, you know, the first drive being pretty
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 5: good for the most part.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 2: And we've got to continue that in the third quarter.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: And the run game did kind of pick up, and
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: it did flourish late.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 5: The runners ran really hard, and there was a bunch
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 5: of different guys that Good seeing Mike Terry in there.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 5: He played really well. And then the O-line was gritty
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 5: the whole time. They strained for four quarters, which was
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 5: cool to see.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: One more from Arch. He was asked what his favorite
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: part of the game was in an exchange with reporters.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: Probably when Relique ran over that safety. That was funny. Yeah,
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 2: I was not about it.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 5: Put my head in there.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 2: Okay, there you go. We'll hear some more from Arch
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 2: Manning coming up next hour. We're going to hear more
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 2: from Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkeesian next hour. More pro
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 2: football notes, college football notes, and more. We still have
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 2: another hour of the program to go. Longboards have one
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 2: more of those home games on this second three-game homestand
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: this week against Mississippi State. Hey, they're trying to get
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: bowl eligible. Do that and get these six wins.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 10: Now?
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: I look at that like how teams like the Brewers
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: or the Rays, even the Dodgers, whatever, when they would
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: like clinch a playoff spot, they have like a glass
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: of champagne was it. Then, you know, win a division,
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: you might spray a little bit, then more. If you
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: win the wild card series, there's a stepping stone. So
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 2: clearly there are much higher goals than just being bowl eligible.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: That would be the next landing step. They're on the
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 2: way to bigger and better things. One more hour to
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 2: go here on 13 out of the zone.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: From Darryl K.
• 1:09:39

  Speaker 3: And the kick is good.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: The Longhorns get a three and out on defense, and
• 1:09:56

• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: Pike could run him down. But it's a first down
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: for the Longhorns. A 38-yard stride.

  Speaker 1: In Ole Miss territory.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: He also thought he got face masked. That wasn't called.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 2: But a late grab with a huge run. Just when
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 2: the Longhorns really needed it.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: Into Ole Miss territory. With Amari Winston as the fullback.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: Under center. Manning to take the snap.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: On second and goal.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: Inside.
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: The Ole Miss one. Play action. Rolling to the right side.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: Arch Manning trots into the end zone.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: On a bootleg. And the Longhorns are back in front.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: 58-yard field goal drop. Trying to pull Ole Miss to
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: the end.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: Good snap and hold. Kick on the way, and it's blocked.
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: They've got a hand on it. Longhorn's got a hand
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: on it. It's no good, and Texas will take over.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 3: Handing out of the shotgun at the turn. He'll hand
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 3: him to Brown.
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: Police cuts it up. 40 breaks.
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 11: A tackle.
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 2: Outside to the 40.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: Brown with the 20. Well, it stays in Brown.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 2: Now as it goes down at the 16-yard line. Parker
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: would have kept running anyway, but that's all right. We'll
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 2: take that down to the 16-yard line.
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 3: A gain of 28 yards. How about this running game
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 3: just coming to life here in the fourth quarter?
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 2: Now he's ready to try a 33-yard field goal. Good
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 2: snap and hold, the kick on the way, and Gianni
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 2: Spinnick's kick is good.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: Spinnick knocks it through, and the Longhorns have a.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 2: 10-point lead with 2.25 remaining in the ballgame.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: One second left. Put it at Chandler's for the shotgun.
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: Pass to staff.
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 2: Chambliss rolling to the right, looking to heave it for
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 2: the end zone.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: Throws it down there.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 2: Intercepted in the end zone. Jelani McDonald picks it off.
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: And the ball game is over.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 2: The Longhorns bounce back with a huge win over the
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: seventh-ranked team in the country. Final score, the Texas Longhorns 34,
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 2: the Ole Miss Rebels 27. Which makes three wins over top.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 2: 15 ranked opponents this season. That leads the country in
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: that area. Yeah, they got a couple of losses to
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 2: unranked teams, but so do a bunch of others have
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 2: losses to unranked teams. Here we go with hour number three. Sorry,
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 2: didn't mean to channel my inner Dak Prescott there for me.
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: Here we go!
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: Hour number three.
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 12: Save that for the Manning cast tonight.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. It'll be happening tonight. I always enjoy
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 2: what's happening. Well, I'll be flipping between that and the
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 2: World Series game three of that. Third hour of the
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 2: program here on 13 Under the Zone, Craig Way, and
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 2: the producer, Jay Kerman, with you up until 5 o'clock.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: Bucky and BK coming up at that point. The Longhorns,
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 2: with the win, go to 5-2. But as we've heard
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 2: from Steve Sarkeesian throughout the program, this being a Longhorns Monday,
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: we carried the news conference live this morning at 11.30
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: and then brought you excerpts from it today. in the
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 2: 2 o'clock hour and 3 o'clock hour. We'll bring up
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 2: some more coming up here in this 4 o'clock hour.
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 2: And one thing that Sark has continued to echo is
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 2: there are still areas to be better, to clean up.
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 2: Folks have pointed it out on special teams. Absolutely. Got
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 2: to be better on that. A little while ago, it
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 2: was pointed out, you know, if 10 penalties is ridiculous,
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 2: what's 14? Stupid ridiculous. You just can't. have that many
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 2: and um i thought there was good explanation on some
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: of those there's some quite frankly i you know and
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 2: they've sent it off to the sec office to let
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 2: them look at it and i've seen it uh since
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 2: then there were two false start calls against texas when
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 2: clearly ole miss players jumped into the neutral zone but
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 2: that would only reduce it to 12. If you had that,
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 2: even if you take away two of the pass interference
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 2: calls are borderline, that would only reduce it to 10.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 2: So the point is made. They've got to be better
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 2: in that area for sure. There's a fine line between
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 2: aggressive and being reckless on that. So that's one area
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 2: that Sark has talked about. We'll hear him talk more
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 2: about that as well. The Longhorn men's basketball team played
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: exhibition game against St. John's at Madison Square Garden yesterday
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: in New York. Lost that one 87-74. They're done with
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: their exhibitions. They will have the season opener a week
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 2: from tonight against Chicago State at Moody Center. Quick trivia.
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: Chicago State mascot?
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 12: Oh, it's green. Their color is green.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 2: That's good.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 12: I got that far. Oh, it's some kind of a cat.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: Oh, very good.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 12: Is it a cougar?
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 2: Very good.
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 12: Give me that, Greg.
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: Chicago State Cougars, who actually are playing football now.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I noticed that.
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 3: They're one of those teams.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 2: Not well, but they're playing football.
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 12: There's also that.
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 6: There's one of those teams like Mississippi Valley State where
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 6: their schedule is just 11 or 12 premier non-conference games,
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 6: gauntlet of Big 12 SEC.
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: All on the road. All on the road. Paycheck games.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: No doubt. And that happens every year, you'll see. So
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 2: we're trying to subsidize and supplement the entire athletic department,
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 2: especially A school like Chicago State would just start it
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 2: up of football as well. Anyway, week from tonight, Longhorn
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 2: men season opener against Chicago State at Moody Center. It's
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 2: an 8 o'clock tip. Pre-game start time. Eddie Orn will
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 2: join me for that at 7.30. Texas women won yesterday.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 2: Pretty impressive over the UCLA Bruins, defending national champs. They're
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 2: a completely different looking team than UCLA, but still number
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 2: 11 in the country. They've got some high-quality players. on
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 2: that Texas got the win by 17, 81-64. They have
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 2: one more exhibition game against Eastern New Mexico. That comes
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 2: up Thursday night at 7 o'clock at Moody, and it's free.
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 2: For folks who want to go out there and park
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 2: in Mainer Garage for free and see the game for free,
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: might as well go out there and take a look
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 2: at Vic Schaefer's ball club and get ready. They open
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 2: the season a week from Wednesday at home against Fairleigh. Dickinson.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 2: I want to go back to college football and then
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 2: after the break we'll hear some more from Sark. SEC
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 2: did announce South Carolina will send $ 500, 000 to the University
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 2: of Tennessee after Gamecocks fans flooded the turf there at
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 2: Williams-Brice Stadium Saturday following their 27-24 season. to be the
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 2: upset score to have, 27-24. It's the third SEC field-storming
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 2: fine of the 2026 season and the first in Columbia
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 2: under that flat-rate system now where if it's in a
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 2: conference game, you send the cash to the team you
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 2: just beat. Tennessee had to do it to Alabama. And
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 2: now South Carolina is through with Tennessee. So Tennessee gets
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 2: their money back. They get the cash back on that deal.
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and there were a couple of South Carolina fans
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 6: getting in the face of Tennessee players.
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 2: Saw some of that.
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 12: You never want to see any of that. But what
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 12: a month it has been.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 6: Another, dare I say, happy Cocktober to South Carolina Gamecocks fans.
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 12: This is a trend for them under Shane Beamer.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 9: Yep, yep.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 2: So it's happening there. The updated... College football playoff and
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 2: bowl projections are out from the two guys from ESPN,
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 2: Kyle Bonagura and Mark Schleybaugh. Bonagura is not convinced still
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 2: that Texas can be in the playoff. Schleybaugh has changed
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 2: his tune on that. Both had the Longhorns out after
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 2: their loss to Florida last week. Now the way it's
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 2: set up, both have Boise State in as the 12
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 2: seed and Bonagura has them at the 5C, which he has, Georgia,
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 2: and Slaball says it'll be UCLA. Boise, as we pointed out,
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 2: is hosting Texas State this week. Big game for both
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 2: those teams. If Boise now, you'd have to say, is
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 2: in the driver's seat for getting the G6 spot, if
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 2: they can run the table from there and know win
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 2: the Pac-12 that sort of Pac-12 by the way does
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 2: not have a conference championship game if I'm remembering correctly
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 2: they don't have a conference title.
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 6: Game right just the adaptive the flex scheduling at the
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 6: end there.
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 2: The regular season so anyway that's what will happen so
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 2: um Boise is is picked by both Bonagura and Slaball
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 2: to be in the playoff as the 12 seed Bonagura
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 2: has them taking on Georgia, the five seed. Schleybaugh has
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 2: them taking on UCLA as a five seed. The 11
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 2: versus six game, both have Indiana as the six. Bonagura
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 2: says the 11 seed will be Alabama. Schleybaugh says it'll
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 2: be Ole Miss. The 10 versus seven matchup, Bonagura says
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 2: it's going to be Wake Forest. So he's counting on
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 2: Wake Forest. other than Miami to be... In other words,
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 2: it'd be two ACC schools in there to play at
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 2: number seven BYU. How about this one? Slay Ball has Texas,
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 2: the 10th seed, in the playoff at number seven seed.
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 2: Wait for it. Kentucky. How about that?
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah, what a season that Kentucky's had. Their resume is
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 6: as good as anybody's. That's why they're ahead of Alabama,
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 6: even though Alabama went there and beat them by four scores.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. And so... That's been their one loss. The
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 2: one score loss or the one loss that they have
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 2: was to Alabama. And otherwise, they've just been really, really good,
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 2: Kentucky has. And so that's been impressive to see for them. Now,
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 2: Kentucky is off this week. They get to relax coming
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 2: off the win over Vanderbilt. Then they go to Knoxville.
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 2: They play Tennessee. Then they have Florida at home on
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 2: the 14th. So maybe that's where game day might be thinking.
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 2: a trip to Lexington on October 14th. Then they go
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 2: to Missouri, and then they conclude with the Battle of
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 2: the Commonwealth as they play Louisville. So it's not a
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 2: cakewalk the rest of the way, but Kentucky right now
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 2: sitting on top of the league standings. And again, Schlebaugh
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 2: has Texas in as the 10 seed. Bonagura does not
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 2: have Texas in the playoff. He has Wake Forest as
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 2: the 10 playing at BYU. And then Bonagura has Kentucky
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 2: as a 9 playing at 8 seed Notre Dame. He's
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 2: counting on Notre Dame losing to Miami. and then dropping
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 2: far enough to be the eight.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 6: I suppose if you're going to put Wake Forest in
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 6: the playoff, you need Miami to be strong enough there
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 6: as the only team to beat Wake Forest this year.
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 12: So he's consistent on that.
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we'll see as that goes forward.
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 2: And Wake Forest does have the one loss.
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 12: Yeah, they lost to Miami.
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 2: To Miami. And I guess.
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 2: Like you said, I guess Montegura's figuring they're going to
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 2: run the table other than maybe a second loss to
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 2: Miami in an ACC championship game.
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and even then, I think they'd have to be
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 6: pretty competitive in that game.
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 12: They also have SMU on the schedule.
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 2: Right, right, exactly. Both teams do, right? No, Miami doesn't
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 2: have it. Notre Dame plays SMU.
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 12: So does Wake Forest.
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 2: And Wake Forest. And, yeah. So, anyway, that's what the
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 2: deal is there. All right. And then, Slay Ball has
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 2: it as Holy War. Redo. 9 seed BYU at 8
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 2: seed Utah off of that. And they still have to play, right?
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 2: They're on the schedule.
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 12: They're playing in two weeks.
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 2: Yep. Okay.
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 10: Wow.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 2: On the same day as Miami-Notre Dame.
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 9: Yep.
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 12: That's how they got pushed to the 11 a.m.
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 2: Kick. Yeah. The other games, they both have the five
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 2: seeds advancing. They have Georgia. Bonagura does to play the
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 2: four seed Utah getting the first round by. Schleybaugh thinks
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 2: Notre Dame is still going to get a bye and
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 2: be the four seed with UCLA the five. Then in
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 2: quarterfinal number two, Bonagura has the six seed Indiana against
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 2: the three seed UCLA. Schleybaugh has the eight seed Utah
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 2: against the top seed Miami. The other quarterfinal, uh, Bonagura
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 2: has the seven seed BYU against a two seed Ohio state.
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 2: And Schley ball has 11 seed Ole Miss against three
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 2: seed Georgia. And then that final quarterfinal eight seed Notre
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 2: Dame against top seed Miami and a rematch. According to
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 2: Kyle Bonagura, Schley ball has Texas advancing as the 10
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 2: seed all the way to the quarterfinals to play Ohio state.
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 2: Does that sound familiar? Uh, uh, In the semifinals, in
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 2: the Orange Bowl, Bonagura says it's the three-seed UCLA against
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 2: the two-seed Ohio State. Schleybaugh says it's the four-seed Notre
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 2: Dame against the top-seed Miami. There's that rematch. In the
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 2: Sugar Bowl, Bonagura says four-seed Utah against one-seed Miami. Schleybaugh
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 2: has Texas going to the Final Four. They've got them
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 2: getting in the Sugar Bowl facing Georgia. And then in
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 2: the National Championship, Bonagura says it's the two-seed Ohio State
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 2: against the one-seed Miami State. Schleybaugh says the luck will
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 2: run out for Texas against Georgia in the semifinals, and
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 2: Georgia would play Miami for the national championship. So there
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 2: you are. In case you're wondering, Kyle Bonnegar, so he
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 2: did not have Texas in the playoff. Where does he
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 2: have Texas? If he doesn't have them in the college
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 2: football playoff, where does he have the Longhorns? Well, a scan,
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 2: because they also not only do the playoff projections. They
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 2: do the bowl projections. Like, for example, both are saying
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 2: Texas Tech's not going to make the playoff now. After
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 2: that loss to Cincinnati, they both have the Red Raiders
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 2: playing in the Alamo Bowl. Tech against Oregon, according to Bonagura.
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 2: Tech against USC, according, excuse me, to Schleyball. And Bonagura, again,
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 2: you ask, where does he have Texas if he doesn't
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 2: have him in the playoff? He has him in Tampa
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 2: in the Reliaquest Bowl against Wisconsin there on New Year's.
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 12: Okay.
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 2: Coming up, we're going to hear more from Longhorn's head coach,
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 2: Steve Sarkeesian, when we continue on Sports Radio AM 13
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 2: Under the Zone and the iHeartRadio app. Here on a
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 2: Longhorn's Monday on Sports Radio AM 13 Under the Zone.
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 2: Here's some more from Longhorn's head coach, Steve Sarkeesian. Sarke, talking,
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 2: you know, he made a lot of comparisons to the
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 2: whole Mamba mentality and what my good friend and Former
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 2: co-host Rod Babers used to say the competitive sickness that
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 2: made up Kobe Bryant. So somebody asked me, hey, you
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 2: grew up in California. Did you know Kobe?
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 4: Kobe's daughter and my daughter went to high school together,
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 4: played volleyball together. So I got to see him in
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 4: person and what an impressive human being beyond basketball player.
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 4: And then I watched him coach Gigi's basketball team as
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 4: soon as the volleyball match was done. And I watched
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 4: him coach six little girls like it was the NBA finals.
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 4: And that was the level of intensity that that guy
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 4: brought every day. So I'm a huge fan of not
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 4: only of the player, but of the person, but the
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 4: whole Mamba mentality. And so, yeah, we definitely buy into
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 4: that mentality.
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 2: All right. He was asked also, how has his confidence
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 2: level in his defense been affected with the loss of
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 2: Colin Simmons, at least for the time being anyway?
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 4: As far as the defense goes, what I thought was great,
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 4: meeting with the defensive staff yesterday, we couldn't pick a
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 4: player of the game and we couldn't just pick two.
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 4: I mean, it was Derek Williams had a great game,
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 4: not having Kobe available to us. Jelani played his best
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 4: game of the year. Lance Jackson, without calling out there,
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 4: had a great game. Brad Spence had a phenomenal game.
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 4: Both Cryer and Biles played every snap, had a phenomenal game.
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 4: And so to me, I thought we played great team
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 4: defense the other night. And, you know, hey, believe me,
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 4: we want Colin back as bad as anybody, and we
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 4: know the impact that he can have in the game.
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 4: But I think what was eye-opening was nobody was just
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 4: waiting for Colin to make a play. It was all
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 4: 11 guys playing really well collectively together. I thought Grayson
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 4: had a great bounce back game from the week before.
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 4: I thought Bo Masco had a really good game compared
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 4: to the week before. So, but all of that was
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 4: a byproduct of the way they practiced and they had
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 4: a great week of work. So that was definitely encouraging
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 4: for sure.
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 2: He was then asked, is he evaluating his options along
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 2: the offensive front between Backup guards, backup tackles, number two
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 2: at a spot, number three at a spot, and Sarkland,
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 2: you know, didn't get too much into the numbers.
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 4: I don't feel like I'm in that mode from an
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 4: offensive line perspective, who's number three and who's at guard
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 4: and or tackle. We always assess it every week, and
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 4: I think healthy competition is good everywhere. And then come
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 4: Saturday morning, we have the depth chart meeting so that
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 4: everybody's on the same page, who will play when and
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 4: how if something occurs. And so, again, the competition will
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 4: be alive this week as well.
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 2: All right. And he was asked, is... Cam Coleman, who
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 2: came down on the shoulder, and we don't know the
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 2: position situation with him yet, but is he leaving his
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 2: feet too early or too much to try to make catches?
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 4: I don't know that Cam necessarily leaving his feet too much.
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 4: You know, I do think. high-pointing the football is one
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 4: of his strengths, right? Everybody's got strengths and weaknesses, so
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 4: on and so forth. His ability to high-point the ball
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 4: with his arm length, his hands, his ability to adjust
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 4: to the ball is a strength of his. So I
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 4: think at times he plays to his strength, but I
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 4: don't feel that. I don't foresee that. We haven't had
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 4: that discussion where we feel like he's leaving his feet
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 4: too much.
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 5: No.
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 2: All right. It was asked about this new Bevo Lab technology.
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 2: We had Senior Associate AD Drew Martin in the booth
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 2: with us on Saturday to talk about this new phenomenon.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 2: that'll be going on going forward using AI technology and
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 2: a lot of other things. And with the leaning on
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 2: with Google labs and all of this other stuff and
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 2: Google cloud. And he was, uh, he was asked, um,
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 2: is he at a point where the Bevo lab stuff
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 2: is even starting to help the football program?
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's obviously just kind of got off the ground. Um,
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 4: I think it's going to behoove all of us in
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 4: the athletic department. Anytime that you partner with Google and
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 4: Gemini and the smart people they have working for them
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 4: and how it can help us for 12 months. I
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 4: think so many people hear Bevo Lab and it's like
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 4: just game day. There's a lot that goes into that.
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 4: As you all know, I believe in sports science. I
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 4: think we've come too far not to believe in science
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 4: and all that it is, whether it's from medicine to
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 4: you know, analytics to whatever that looks like. And so, uh, I'm,
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 4: I'm obviously very excited about it. I think it's a
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 4: great partnership and it's something that's only going to grow
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 4: and get better as we, as we start to work
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 4: ourselves through this.
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 2: Next, he was asked about the fact Kate Phillips continues
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 2: to be challenged at a couple of pass interference calls
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 2: against him, but he has come a ways. And how
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 2: about the maturation of the entire secondary? it's a talented
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 2: room obviously. Um, and you named off some great players.
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 2: I think Kobe's had a good year for us to
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 2: move into safety. Um, I think we're constantly trying to, uh,
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 2: develop the depth back there. Um, you know, we, we,
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 2: I think we need more people playing at a really
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 2: high level and that's what we're pushing them to do. Um,
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 2: I've been proud of Cade and his maturation and development, um,
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 2: Like I said, I think that was a tough call
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 2: on the PI in the end zone. And I think
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 2: that affected his ability to play the fade later in
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 2: the game for the other touchdown because I felt like
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 2: he was in good position.
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 4: The call didn't go our way. But I do think
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 4: he's playing with a lot of confidence. I think Bo,
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 4: his experience is starting to show. And again, he had
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 4: a great bounce back game four. So there's a lot
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 4: of experience back there. But again, you know, it's like,
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 4: D-Will getting back to what the D-Will was before the injury.
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 4: We forget.
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 2: I forgot.
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 4: He was starting ahead of Andrew McCuba before he got injured.
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 4: Andrew McCuba is a hell of a football player, and
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 4: he's doing great stuff in the NFL. I think he's back.
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 4: And now to have he, Kobe, and Jelani back there
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 4: is helpful. I think we're still trying to find the
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 4: depth at star. or the depth at corner so we
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 4: can move Bo to star. Like, we just need more
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 4: bodies that can guard people and cover people. But I
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 4: think they're all playing at a high level. I mean,
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 4: you look at what we were able to do the
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 4: other night. You know, Trinidad Chambliss, I think, was coming
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 4: into the game. I don't have all his numbers in
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 4: front of me, but I think he was completing like
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 4: 68% of his passes and whatnot. And we held that
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 4: guy at a 40-something percent passing. We kept him in
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 4: the pocket. And that's the rush. That's the coverage. And
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 4: that's arguably one of the best quarterbacks in the country.
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 4: And we get three interceptions off him. So we have
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 4: the ability to play at a really high level. But
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 4: that mental intensity that they had throughout the week, I thought,
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 4: carried over to the game.
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 2: Well, that secondary may get a challenge if Kamario Taylor
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 2: is able to go, if he's healthy. And Sark was asked,
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 2: how do you prepare for a dynamic quarterback like that?
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 4: I think the first thing with Mississippi State is fast.
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 4: It kind of blinks into my head. They play really fast.
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 4: I think they snap the ball with an average of
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 4: 27 seconds still left on the shot clock. That's how
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 4: fast they want to snap the ball. They spread you
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 4: wide with their splits, and they play fast on the perimeter.
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 4: And I felt like that hurt us last year in
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 4: the game at their place. Their speed, their splits, their
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 4: ability to play in space. And then the quarterback decision-making,
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 4: And the accuracy of the ball, I think, is something
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 4: that helps their scheme. Camario has that. Now, on the
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 4: flip side of that, it's his legs, too. And so
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 4: now they've got you spread out. Now they've got a
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 4: four-by-one team out there running routes. And then when they want,
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 4: he can tuck it and run. And he's a big
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 4: dude who can go, and he's hard to get on
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 4: the ground. So you pour it all together with Levy's scheme,
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 4: as well as the players that they have and the
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 4: trigger guy. it's a problem for people for sure.
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 2: All right. Next, Sark was asked one more time about
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 2: this whole Mamba mentality thing and what he wants his
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 2: team to lean into. And does he have players who
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 2: already possess that?
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 4: You know, I think one, I don't think it's something
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 4: that you can just talk about in one meeting and
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 4: then move on. I think there has to be a
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 4: level of consistency in your messaging. It can't be something
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 4: that I just bring up today on a Monday and
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 4: I had never brought it up in the off season
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 4: or during training camp or even at another week in
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 4: the season. I think it's gotta be something that is
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 4: kind of part of your DNA and that grows into
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 4: who you are. How do I quantify it as just
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 4: watching the body language, watching the practice habits, hearing guys speak,
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 4: how they talk to one another, what are they talking about,
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 4: what are they saying the messaging is? And to me,
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 4: even today, you know, we get done, you know, conditioning
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 4: at the end of practice and I call them up
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 4: and I get into, you know, want to know mindset
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 4: this week, they're already talking about no relief. Like I
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 4: can hear guys, I hear Jelani saying it even before
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 4: I can get to it. And so that's a really
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 4: good sign that they're, they think like me, you know,
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 4: on a lot of levels. And it's a lot of
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 4: guys who have been around the program for a while, right?
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 4: And then how well do they spread that message in
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 4: and around downstairs in the locker room, in the training room,
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 4: in the weight room, on the walk to and from practice, right?
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 4: What are they talking about? And if that, if that's
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 4: the topic of discussion sooner or later, that's going to
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 4: spread throughout our locker room and then it becomes a belief, right?
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 4: And so, um, I'm not saying it happens overnight. I
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 4: think it takes time. I think some guys innately have it.
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 4: I think some guys, it might be a little new
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 4: to them, but that doesn't mean that we can't change
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 4: the mindset and the habits of what it looks like,
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 4: how to do it. And then celebrating the moments when
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 4: we do do it the right way. And I think
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 4: that that's probably the most important thing. That's why, like, yes,
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 4: we had a sack fumble for a touchdown, right? Yes,
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 4: we threw an interception. Yes, we didn't recover an onside kick.
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 4: But the mentality that we had to respond to that adversity,
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 4: I'm celebrating that too. As much as I'm trying to
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 4: correct the other things, I need to celebrate the response
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 4: to that adversity because I thought that was at a
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 4: really high level.
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 2: All right, and then one more from Sarg. He was
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 2: asked about the defensive leaders of this team, like Justin
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 2: Cryer and some of the other guys, how meetings went
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 2: on between those guys after last week's game.
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 4: I've met with a lot of players individually after the
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 4: Florida game, on offense and on defense. And the response
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 4: was the way they worked in practice. And practice was fast.
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 4: I mean, I just gave you the numbers of how
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 4: hard they went, the physicality of it all. We knew
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 4: we needed to be physical against Ole Miss, their ability
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 4: to run the ball. And so when you practice that way,
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 4: and it was no thud, no play mentality, then you
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 4: don't have to try to turn it on when the
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 4: game comes. We're tracking the ball. There were some amazing plays.
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 4: There's a scramble two different times on third down when
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 4: Chambliss gets out of the pocket, and you see Brad
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 4: Spence break out of the stack and get a tackle
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 4: short of the first down. You see another scramble by
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 4: him on third and 10, and Derek Williams is like
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 4: 23 yards from the line of scrimmage, and his break
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 4: on the quarterback to force him out of bounds, to
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 4: force a fourth and five. It's the intent, but that
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 4: intent comes from practice. And so when the game rolls around,
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 4: it's a reaction as opposed to, do I have to
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 4: think about it? And I thought we reacted well, and
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 4: I thought we played really physically. But again, a lot
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 4: of that was a byproduct, I think, of the discussions
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 4: and the feelings after the Florida game, and then the
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 4: work they put in throughout the week.
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 2: All right. We've got more coming up. We'll hear from
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 2: Arch Manning and a couple other items when we continue
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 2: on 13 Under the Zone. Maybe that describes what's going
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 2: on in the SEC right now. Somebody posted this. See
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 2: if you can follow this. Florida beat Texas. Texas beat Tennessee.
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 2: Tennessee beat Alabama. Alabama beat Kentucky. Kentucky beat LSU. LSU
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 2: beat Auburn. Auburn beat Georgia. Georgia beat Oklahoma. Oklahoma beat
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 2: Mississippi State. Mississippi State beat Missouri. Missouri beat Florida.
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 12: The circle of parody.
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 2: That's right. So, anyway, there's a lot of that stuff
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 2: going on in SEC football, for sure. Texas women's basketball team,
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 2: impressive win over UCLA. Yeah, just an exhibition game. They
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 2: won 81-64 in Cedar Park. One of the things that was...
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 2: impressive was Brianna Preston. Bree scored in double figures. Of course,
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 2: she's inheriting the point guard spot from Rory Harmon, and
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 2: she had 20 points, went four for five from three-point range.
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 2: She's never done that in a collegiate game before. Today,
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 2: she was named to the Nancy Lieberman Award Point Guard
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 2: of the Year watch list as well. So she's off
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 2: to a good start, even though it's exhibition game, but
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 2: we had a chance to visit with her after the
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 2: Texas victory yesterday. She joins us now, and who knew
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 2: that Bree was that outstanding a three-point shooter, right?
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 3: Lights out, lights out.
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 2: Were you feeling it today?
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 1: I was, I was.
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 2: I was focused.
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 12: I was ready to play today.
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 2: Everybody, I noticed in the media availabilities, were asking you about,
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 2: you know, inheriting the role, what were Rory moving on
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 2: and all that stuff. But the one thing I noticed
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 2: today is that you play your game and having Zaya
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 2: in there to help you, it was kind of like
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 2: with you and Rory anyway, right?
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 1: Exactly, exactly.
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 18: Yeah, especially on that defensive end.
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 12: We're really getting after her. We're communicating. We're getting better
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 12: each day.
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 18: And then she just helps me to be a point guard,
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 18: do what I do on the offensive end, get us
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 18: in our sets, hit open shots when I can. So
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 18: me and Ziya play really well together.
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, and then the other thing about the three-point shot,
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, certainly that's something you've worked on.
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 1: No, definitely.
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 4: Every day.
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 18: Every day, I don't, I don't work out without shooting threes, yeah,
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 18: sometimes it's either touch shots, and then straight to threes,
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 18: sometimes I don't even do the mid-range, like, I'm really
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 18: trying to, you know, build that confidence, so when we
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 18: get in late games, like, people really have to step up,
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 18: gotta go over screens, and that will open up the
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 18: court for my teammates, too.
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 2: Do you, you like having these exhibition games to get
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 2: your game in gear?
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 18: No, definitely, definitely, and it's great competition, like, we just
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 18: had UConn, and then we just played UCLA, like, Keep
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 18: them coming. Like we're doing really good and we're definitely
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 18: learning from these games.
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 2: So very helpful. Good job. Appreciate the time. Thank you.
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 2: All right. Yeah. And again, just an exhibition game, but
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 2: it was against an equality opponent in UCLA. So some
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 2: pretty exciting things to come for Texas women's basketball. The
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 2: Longhorns will be back on the floor. One more exhibition game.
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 2: that will be on Thursday night and they'll play Eastern
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 2: New Mexico at seven o'clock free admission, free parking over there.
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 2: All right. Uh, a little more from Arch Manning and, uh,
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 2: he was asked if, um, uh, you know, what can
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 2: he do in terms of, well, first of all, there
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 2: was this kind of funny exchange he had, um, He
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 2: got a chance to meet Jeremy Piven, entouraged a little bit, right?
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 2: And he's been re-watching it and had a little post-game
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 2: conversation with him.
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 5: I've already finished it all, but I'm back watching it
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 5: just kind of sporadically every other, not in any direction.
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 5: But I went to one of his comedy shows this
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 5: offseason with some guys on the team and he was hilarious.
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 5: Got to talk to him before and we've kept up
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 5: on the phone. He's hilarious and it's cool. He's probably
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 5: my favorite character in all of television, Ari Gold. So, um,
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 5: being able to talk to Jeremy Piven and, and pick
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 5: his brain, I guess, and just being able to laugh is, uh,
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 5: is refreshing.
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 2: He's an, he's a really nice guy. Okay. Picking his brain.
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 2: What'd he pick his brain about? I don't know if
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 2: I ever picked his brain.
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 5: We just caught up and, um, I told him that, uh,
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 5: last year we weren't playing well. I wasn't playing very well. And, uh,
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 5: I started watching Entourage, and then we kind of got
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 5: on a hot streak, and he loved that.
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 2: Okay, he mentioned about being with Entourage. He was asked,
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 2: does he have any other favorite Entourage characters?
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 5: I like Turtle. I like Johnny, all those guys. I
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 5: actually watched Napoleon Dynamite last week. It kind of gave
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 5: me a good mood, and I love that movie.
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 2: Okay. Uh, he, he did make reference to, to other
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 2: people in his, uh, a non football people in his, uh,
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 2: close circle. And are there others in his circle?
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 5: I kind of just talked to the same people, talk
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 5: to the same people in the building. Uh, my teammates,
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 5: you know, the student trainers, uh, leg trainers, EQ guys. Um,
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 5: and then my friends and that's kind of it.
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 2: Okay. Um, he was asked, uh, uh, uh, about the
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 2: running back situations. First of all, ask about Michael Terry's
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 2: growth that he's seen in the backfield.
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 5: I thought he ran hard on Saturday night. He ran
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 5: with an edge, a little anger behind him, so it
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 5: was good to see. Hopefully, he can keep that moving
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 5: forward and have that motivate him, that confidence.
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 2: And about confidence, Relique Browns has had 157 rushing yards.
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 2: He's a baller.
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 5: I'm glad he had that game on the biggest stage.
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 5: It shows that the type of player he is, and
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 5: that just shows the type of person he is. He's
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 5: full of energy, a great guy. I'm glad we have
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 5: him on our team.
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 2: He's awesome. Okay, so does that mean that Arch is
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 2: looking to block when Raleigh makes the cut back inside?
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 5: I was thinking about it, and I was like, nah.
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 2: Raleigh had already got past. I was like, I don't
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 2: want to. Extra soreness. Yeah, I imagine. So they're going
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 2: to play on Halloween night. How does he feel about that?
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 5: I might have played on Halloween in high school, but no,
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 5: no extra time. I got some of my high school
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 5: buddies coming to town, so hopefully they can see a win.
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 2: Okay. All right. Next, he's asked, does he have a
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 2: favorite Halloween costume? Not that I can think of. I might.
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I guess we can't dress up this
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 2: year if we play on Halloween. It'd be kind of weird.
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 10: I want to.
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going to go as Napoleon Dynamite this year. Okay.
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 2: About that weird deal that happened when the official told
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 2: him he had to leave the field for one play,
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 2: the whole thing with the— what was the deal with that? No,
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 2: I didn't get an explanation.
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 5: My helmet, like, kind of came up a little bit,
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 5: so I just wanted to adjust my hair or something,
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 5: and he made me go out.
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 2: Okay. And then one more. The need, Art says, for
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 2: this team and for him to play a complete game.
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we want to play a full, clean four quarters,
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 5: start fast, and keep that momentum going and stay healthy.
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, those are all very important things. We'll be back
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 2: to wrap up today's edition of the program on 13
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 2: Under the Zone.
