  Speaker 3: Boston Southern versus Carolina Methodist right now, just to be
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: honest with you.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Is Rutgers playing today? I think Rutgers-UMass is actually playing,

• 1:49

• 1:52

• 1:54

• 1:56
  Speaker 1: of course, back on schedule Wednesday nights, Sunday nights, doing

• 2:08
  Speaker 1: ruckers gives us football 5 p.m on thursday they lead
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: the way to a to a actual full slate of
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: games going through thursday night which your main one here
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: is colorado at georgia tech we'll talk about all of
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: that stuff here in a bit but coop first and
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: foremost uh i know the people have been wondering this
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: so we're gonna address the elephants in the room the
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: biggest elephant that's in the room right now, which is myself, um, kidding,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: but no shout out to John Hoover and Sooners on
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: SI folks, George Stoia, Scoop, uh, Sooner Scoop, as well
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: as Brody over there and, and Josh and, and Tom
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Verde over there, or Tom Green, but Tom Verde over
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: there at 247, uh, all the insiders doing and the
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: beat writers doing a thing called Sully, et cetera. Um,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Getting the water should be another fun year. But we
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: had an update. Early this morning, John Hoover posted a
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: tweet saying, injuries? What injuries? So, of course, we all
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: had to click on it. The reporting is that both
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Jake Mikla as well as Ryan Foget was suited up
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: at practice. Now, the extent of how much they were doing,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: y'all can read the article, Just find John Hoover, go
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: find Scoop, whatever your favorite people to go look at.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: But it sounds like they had on pads. They were
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: at practice yesterday, which means all the panicking a lot
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: of people were doing, really no reason to. Sounds like
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: precautionary stuff because, you know, it's football. You'll get nicked
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: up and bruised. But, Coop, there's one thing I do
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: want to say about this is... I want everybody to
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: recognize we are at a blue blood program. We are
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: at a very high profile program. And the fortunate, unfortunate
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: thing you get when it comes to beat writers in
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: this is that they get provided some information and our
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: staff is pretty transparent because of that. So when it's
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: a hangnail, you'll probably hear about it. That's kind of
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: unfortunate that he pulled him out. He ripped his skin
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: off his finger. He taped him up. Somebody could go
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: walk and go somewhere else, go leave off to go
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: get some water and disappear for a minute. And somebody
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: is going to report, oh, there's a possibility that this
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: guy's gone. It's going to happen. So to me, until
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: we hear like official, official, people are out, out, take
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: everything with a grain of salt. But with that being said, Coop,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: how do you feel about that? It sounds like Mykla
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: and Foge are progressing exactly the way we need them to.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: But they probably won't play against UTEP.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: And listen, I'm glad that they're not really, really badly injured.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: And you're right.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: There was a story about some coaches were there. A
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: lineman had to go use the facilities. And somebody made
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: a joke that, man, somebody's going to report that that
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: person tore his ACL because his cleat was halfway off
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: one foot.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: And he's limping off to the bathroom.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: So, yeah, I mean, everybody gets all hyped up, and
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: it's PTSD. At some point, I think this year, we're
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: going to, and I think somebody said it in the
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: chat a couple weeks ago, at some point this year,
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: we're going.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: To have to let it go.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: We're going to have to absolutely, with the wide receiver
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: injuries from a couple years ago, the offensive line injuries.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Like, you know, you sent some of the guys, you know, gave.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Them an opportunity to go somewhere else, go get some
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: playing time, maybe find health somewhere. These guys, if, you know,
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: we all wanted Brent Venable to stop being crazy, right?
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: And I saw somebody post, why has Brent got to
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: be sending the, you know, sending the, you know, everything
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: in his arsenal at these guys, you know, on game week.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Jay, I've heard of guys.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: Breaking down the stretches, you know, when they're doing the
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: chants and everything and they come in.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: I've heard of a guy rolling his ankle during that.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: You know, last year during the national championship game, the
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: DN from Indiana is.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Like, high-fiving people on the sideline and.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: Like, tears his knee. Like, sometimes there's nothing you can
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: do about it. But you also aren't walking out there
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: smacking folks with pillows. Like, you know, Brent Venables is–
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: we've talked about this. When you've got this type of
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: defense that's punishing– relentless and punishing. How are you going
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: to tell Danny Okoye, who has killed them all, like
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: written in the spring game, how are you going to
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: tell Danny, hey, back it down just a little bit, Chief.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: How are you going to tell.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Michael Bogonowski, you know all that stuff that makes you you? Yeah,
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: don't be you today. Like, you can't do that. So
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: things are going to happen. Guys are going to get
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: rolled up on. That stuff's going to happen. And we've asked,
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: don't put them back in and, you know, give them,
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: you know, say, hey, you're 65%. Get out there and
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: you know, give us the snaps. We've got enough depth
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: right now that is going to allow OJ to sit
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: on the sideline and Michaela to get one more week.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: And I think that this is a very, very confident
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: football team. And you're going to be thinking big picture.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: So if it means setting out two guys against UTEP
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: and letting Caleb Nita get in there and go crazy,
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: getting some best out there and seeing what we got there,
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: rolling in a lot of different guys, this is a
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: team that you should be able to go beat with
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: anybody on your two deep on the offensive line and
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: some of the three deep and go get some damage done.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: We'll talk about UTEP a lot later, but if you
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: want Nita to get out there and get a good,
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: you know, just get some good time, their nose tackles
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: 270 pounds. It sounds like a pretty good time for
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: a center to go out there and show us what
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: he's got. So, Listen, they're going to be back. Those
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: guys are going to be fine. If we were playing
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: a Michigan or a Clemson or something like that this week,
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: we would probably see at least one of those guys.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I agree with you. Jarek, that's a great point.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: I know everybody's got PTSD. That's the reason why I
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: put the public service announcement out there. We know the
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: staff has taken precautions, and we've heard about it. They've
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: made adjustments to make sure that We minimize a lot
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: of it. And truth be told, a lot of these
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: injuries is just non-contact stuff, rolling in a drill. There's
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: not that. I mean, occasionally you can see somebody that
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: falls on you. I think the Michael one was someone
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: rolled on him during practice. But you also practice how
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: you play. So there's going to be a little it's
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: got to be some physicality there. I think one NFL
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: player mentioned this. Can't remember who it was. off the top,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: but he talked about how the importance of preseason games
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: was it allowed them to build the quote unquote calluses
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: on their body to be able to absorb hits throughout
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: the season. And as the season progressed, you got stronger
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: and stronger. You're able to handle those hits. And I,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: and like I said, I get everybody. I just try
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: to tell, I'm the, you know, I always come in
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: here with the, let's calm it down. If I'm panicking,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: then you should panic. Everything I'm here, I've ever heard was, eh, precaution.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: They're taking their time. So with that being said, we
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: will be, we'll let you keep you all up to
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: date on what's going on. I don't expect Mykla or
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Foge to play this week. Like you said, Caleb Nitta's
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: going to be the one that should start at center.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: We'll have best. We've looked at the depth chart. It's
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: going to be an exciting time. And plus, lastly, for
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: the brand of football that y'all want to play, the
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: physical brand, collateral damage is going to happen. And now
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: we get to make sure that collateral damage is on
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: the opposite side of the ball instead of our own.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: We knock on wood. really only lost what three defenders,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: a couple of freshmen and a vet that I am
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: sad to see gone, but he should be back sooner
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: than later. But yeah, it sucks. While at the same time,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: it's football. Had a next man up mentality. All right.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Besides that, I wanted to get the housekeeping portion of it.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: I felt like that was that they need to be addressed.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Most people came here specifically to hear about that. Totally
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: understand why you did that. But Coop, I went and
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: looked at a child to our guy Odessy's and we
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: all was looking at the our foes there at UTEP.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: My goodness. We're going to have to pray for them, man.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: And it's not even really cliche. I'm being as nice
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: as possible with this. Coop, they so young. They so young.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: They so young.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: And we made a comment that ESPN had them listed
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: as the bottom 10 rankings.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: They were one of the 10 worst teams.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: Um, I still expect you got to go up there
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: and do your job, but this is a situation to
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: where it, you know, if you're Brent, if you're our buckle,
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: everything is about you guys have done, put in the work.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: You've gone through the repetitions to create muscle memory, do everything.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: Like you do anything, go out there and do your
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: job assignment sound. And this shouldn't be a game for
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: more than 15 minutes.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Of real time.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: So you need to go out there and do that.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: I'm interested to see. I'll pause on that one. I'll
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: let you go ahead.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: No, no, no. Continue.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: No, continue.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: I'm interested to see how the offense comes out because
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: is it a situation to where you've got a set
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: of plays that you want to go out and run,
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: things that were super successful in some of the practices,
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: the live scrimmages. Or is it going to come out
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: and say, all right, guys, let's go roll 300 yards
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: on the ground and let's take advantage of the passing
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: opportunities that we get? Because there's a lot on offense
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: we want to see.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Oh, a substantial amount.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: On defense, we just want pain. We just want pain.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: I want a bless your heart moment as I'm sitting
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: out there probably holding on a dear life because it's
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: going to be hot. But I want, like, that's what
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: everybody's going to see, is what does this offense look like?
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: And I think that, you know, early in the game,
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: you'll see some overreactions. So all you Twitter warriors who
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: are going to claim that our record's going to be
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: 6-6 or 16-0, like, let's wait.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Let's wait. Jimmy said it great, just like you did.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: I want to see Smash Mouth football. We're playing against
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: a team that I mentioned. I'm going to pull this
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: up for y'all. Brace yourselves. Cover the eyes of the
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: women and children. Women that are in here, cover the
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: eyes of your man and the children. Those that aren't
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: in the football side, cover up their eyes. They don't
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: need to see this. This is very terrifying and this
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: could be hurtful. Like I said, no shade to UTEP.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: And I understand the challenge that the G6 is dealing
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: with right now. The vast majority of their best players
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: every single year is getting yanked up. And so they're
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: pulling from the FCS up into there or D2 to
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: fill these rosters. It's a challenge. This is what it
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: looks like for UTEP in a depth chart. As you
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: can all see, it may be a little little for
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: some of us. I have a big version in front
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: of me, but their offensive line has one player with
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: a career start. On the left tackle. Granted, he's 6'8, 307.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: He's a redshirt freshman at Argyle High School in Texas,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: which that means that Jason Witten should know him very well, actually. So, yeah,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: but he has three appearances. The rest, zeros, goose eggs,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: all the way across. The rest of these players, they
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: have a combined 93. Shout out to my guy, Odysseus.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: 93 combined FBS starts. We have over 360 on our roster.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: They have 93 total. They have less than 100. It's terrifying.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: They're going to be fun to play against, but also,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: for those who understand, this is not the same one
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: that Texas saw last year. Malachi Nelson is not their quarterback.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: They actually lost their entire offense. The only thing they returned,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: their returning production is three defenders and And actually four.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: And I think they may get a fifth safety who
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: got a TRO to come back because I think he
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: went to like a mini camp or something or he didn't.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: He didn't. I don't think he didn't get drafted. I'm
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: not sure if he actually went to a camp, but
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: he got a TRO to come back for a fifth
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: year because he's a class of 2022. He was one
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: of the top defenders, though. He's a safety. But besides that, though,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: everybody else on this roster transfers. That is where the defense,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: that's where the teams are different. This is like a
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: complete refresh of what they had from last year. Last
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: year's team's a lot more veteran in comparison. So as
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: you mentioned, Cooperstown offense, we've got to run for 200
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: and something yards in this game. I don't care.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Period.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: You should be able to with how young and inexperienced
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: this offensive line is.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Um, yeah, I'm sorry.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: I got a surprise guest that just snuck into my
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: office to get ice cream out of my, my Heidi fridge.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: But, um, you have ice cream hidden in your fridge, man.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: You didn't offer nobody.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And, uh, but, uh, I'll, I'll throw my dad
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: joke out.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: And since my son just walked in here, uh, there's
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: the white outs, literal, literal cheeks.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: I hate you. Yeah, but that is Carver cheeks. Is
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: there a wide receiver too?
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: So, um, Their tight end is Cash Cheeks.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: They're full of cheeks.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Cash Cheeks, Carver Cheeks.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: But when you see the zeros over there on the
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: zero career starts, what I expect from their defenders is, okay,
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: we're college football players too. The coaches probably go into
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: them and saying, in high school, you guys had somebody
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: that came to town that was the 6A champion and
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: were the 5A champion, and they just ran through. And
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: you had the same situation in front of you that
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: you had to absolutely go out and just give it
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: your all and put it all out on the field.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: When you've got teams like this and, you know, our
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: Texas fan here, Hookum, he is– your offense kept this
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: game alive last year. And so this offense for Oklahoma
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: needs to go out there and you need to– you
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: need to, you know, really hit some people in the mouth. Uh,
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: I think that's going to start on that defensive line.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: You know, that is a thin defensive line. Um, I
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: think you got 255, 277 at nose tackle, 262 at
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: D tackle, and then 238 on the other side.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: I want to see some pancakes.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: I want to see EPL, Lozada, Best, Asusi. I want
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: to see all of these guys, Myron Harris, uh, I
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: want to see all these guys go out there with the,
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: the plan of, listen, Danny's got his charity situation going on.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: Like I want somebody donating money for the pancakes that
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: we're about to throw down out here. So that's, that's,
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: that's going to be, it's going to be starting up
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: front because you out, you out everything them right from
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: the get go.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: And that's where it all starts.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: No, I agree with you. I want us to really
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: pancake the heck out of them. That is, that's going
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: to be critical. And I like in the chat, as
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: it was mentioned, is a high score in the first quarter.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: We should be able to go ahead and get in
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: and out. And it's funny. I was talking to Tyler
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: McComas over there from the Rush on KREF. Me and
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: him kind of was chit-chatting about this today. And he's like,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: don't be surprised if UTEP goes vanilla in this game, too.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: Like, no.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: More of a, they could possibly wave the white flag
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: in this game and say, we ain't going to put
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: ourselves through this. We know that because we need some
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: tape for ourselves, but they could go super vanilla and
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: be like, we just want to get out of here healthy. Now,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: they're going to take some shots. I do agree with
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Gabe and Teddy that they will try to catch us slipping,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: go deep a few times, But at the same time,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: there's a massive opportunity here for them to just mail
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: it in and say, hey, let's prepare ourselves because they've
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: got us. They've got what? Who is week two? If
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: I'm correct, their week two is an insane one as well.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: Ohio State.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Let me pull it up. Yeah, well, week two is
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Texas Southern. Then they go to Michigan. So they play us.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: And then Oregon State comes to their crib right afterwards.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: And Oregon State still gets pretty good talent, especially there
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: in the Northwest. They still get some Arizona kids, actually.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Which is always weird. It seems like the hot weather
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: people go up there to Washington. and oregon they just
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: do a really good job of recruiting that state but
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: i digress they got michigan too so they're gonna prepare
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: themselves to be able to play texas southern and be
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: able to really give it give it their all They
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: may mail it versus Michigan, but they're going to play
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: their butts off at the house against Oregon State and
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: then the rest of the conference. Like, Scotty needs to win.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: He is considered a hot seat candidate right now just
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: because the last couple years have not been the best
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: that they could have been for them. So....
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: They also get New Mexico on October 3rd, so we'll
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: be playing New Mexico here.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: In two weeks. So, now, New Mexico obviously loses their.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: loses their starting quarterback, but they've got New Mexico, Nevada,
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: San Jose State, North Dakota State. They've got a schedule
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: out in front of them. Listen, this is not going
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: to be one of the teams that you need to
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: follow what their record is for the rest of the year.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: Once we're done with Friday night, it's a memory. Two
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: years ago, which shame on me, I asked Gabe and
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: I said, do you think that they're going to maybe
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: work and keep a running clock in the fourth quarters
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: to get this done when we were playing Temple? And
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: he was like, of course not. It's preposterous. It's not
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: going to happen. I can promise you this. You're going
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: to see a lot of just running back, fullback dives,
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: stuff like that towards the end of the game with them.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: They're going to try to get the ball out of
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: the hands of whatever quarterback's.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: In at that point.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: EJ Colston's, yeah.
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you just want to throw out– You want to
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: throw out the ability, hey, we're here, let's go. For them,
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: can you find a couple of film points that give
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: you some confidence as you roll into Texas Southern and
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: potentially other games down the line? I figure that probably
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: after that Michigan or maybe that Oregon State game, that's
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: probably where everybody's tapped out.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're going to– like EJ Colston's going to play
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: a lot, especially through the first half. This is his
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: first year there. He came from Incarnate Word. So they
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: have a new quarterback. and he's going to have to
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: build some relationships with this wide receiver room, which a
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: lot of them have been there for a bit. So
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: they don't have Skylar Locks, Lear, or Malachi Nelson, who
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: honestly was giving Texas problems last year. That's why it
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: was like 7-3 with like two seconds left in the
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: first half, and it ended up being 14-3. That was
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: because of them. Malachi and Skylar was out there working,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: and their defense was solid. Now, they finished the season 2-10,
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: so it wasn't a good season to end on. But
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Scottie needs to turn things around. 3-9 his first year,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: 2-10 his second year. And so now they're in the
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Mountain West Conference. The question is, can he take them out? Now,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: I've watched some tape on EJ Colston. Yeah, he can't
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: spin it. He is.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's good. He is, he's actually entertaining. Now, he
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: didn't put up a lot of numbers at Incarnate Ward.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: I think he threw for like 2,000 yards or something
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: like that. And maybe 10 touchdowns. Let me go look
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: real quick while I'm thinking about it. Yeah, 16 touchdowns,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: four picks, 2,100 yards. But he completed 70% of his
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: passes by.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Last year. And so, he's coming in as a third year,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: aka junior. He got sacked 27 times last year at
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Incarnate Word. I expect our defense to Be in the
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: backfield often. And if we don't get sacks in this game,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: I don't want y'all to freak out because I think
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: it's because they're going to run a lot of screens.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: They're going to run a lot of quick passes. Anything
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: to get the ball out of his hands before Daniel
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Collier or Taylor Wine or PJ or Wyatt Gilmore are
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: going around these 6'8 and 6'9 statues that I promise
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: you probably got stone feet in this game.
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're going to get the ball out as fast
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: as possible, as fast as humanly possible, ball out. And
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: then they're going to, I mean, it's going to be
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: three-step drops at the max. I would say that if
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: we see a four, you know, any type of a
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: deep drop, it's probably going to be on a first down,
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: try to catch it, catch it and happen. But, you know,
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: going back and looking at their depth chart, you've got
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: the left tackle, which is 6'8, 307. And the right
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: tackle is 6'9, 324.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: Yep. Those are big guys.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: And I can promise you that Chavis has been having conversations.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: I mean, listen, if I'm PJ, at this point, I'm like, man,
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: I don't need necessarily a ton of bend against this
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: guy because, you know, that's one of the things that
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: PJ's had issues with is just getting.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: The bend when getting around the edge.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: But if you're going up against a 6'9, or a 6'8, tackle,
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: you're going to need to get out. I think that
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: if we get sacks, it's going to have to be
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: from maybe a delayed blitz or potentially somebody up the middle,
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: a David Stone, Jaden Jackson, Nigel, Trent, Carrington. We're going
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: to get a lot of pressure up the middle. But
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: imagine those old school days when we played Texas Tech
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: with those big wide splits. That is the big thing.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: That's where I think that we're going to probably see
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: the difficulty getting home on that side.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I'm with you on that. It's the... We're
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: not going to need too much work. We shouldn't need
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: too much work to get home in this game. Man,
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: this would be a good opportunity for them to practice
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: on some stuff, practice on their moves, and really push
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: and work their way in. But I'll say this, though,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: and I love your question, Jimmy, where do you get
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: those dudes from? I said the same thing, but I'm
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: going to tell you this. Redshirt freshman. Again, I'm from Bethune-Cookman.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: And Argyle.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: Argyle High School. And Independence Community College. I think there's
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: a reason why they're at UTEP.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: They also have zero starts. So now this year, if
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: they show out, there's a possibility they, you know, somebody's
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: going to try to snatch them up. That's the issue
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: with G6. I feel bad for the G6. is that
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: they get poached like crazy, but these players are going
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: to go get paid. So that opportunity is there.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: That right tackle, that right tackle's a junior.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: So I'm guessing that, um, and out of community college.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: So I don't know, maybe he played two years and
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: this is his first time. I'm not super in depth
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: on that one. Um, but I will say, you know,
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: cash cheeks, who is there tied in six, seven, uh,
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: two 35.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: I love the cash cheeks and, cash cheeks, money records.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: Um, but, um, I would say, you know, the two
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: cheeks brothers, they got good genes in that family because
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: both of those guys are, you know, two of their
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: taller weapons. So I'm guessing that we're going to see
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: some effort to get, you know, at that, which is
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: going to be good because I think you're going to
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: see some good tight ends across the SEC this year.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: And you know Michigan's always got one loaded up and
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: ready to go too.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Every year. And Cash Sheiks is giant. Like you say, 6'7, 235.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: So that's a nice-ass tight end to be able to
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: see how we try to stop him across the middle.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: That's a good thing. So, no, overall, there's no reason
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: for Oklahoma to not put up numbers in this game.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: And as mentioned, there's no reason why we shouldn't be
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: able to have this game put away extremely early in
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: the game. It's going to be hot, but we should
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: be able to put it away pretty early. The other
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: thing I was looking at too, in, in, in the
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: putting it away early thing, I was going back to
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: some of the old games we played. We played them.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: Our first Brent Venable's first year, we won 49 to 14.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: We should be able to pitch a shootout, a shutout
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: like we did, like we could have and should have
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: the last couple of years and Well, last year. That
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: was actually last season. My apologies. We should be able
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: to pitch a shutout. We should also be able to
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: put up numbers close to what we did against Arkansas State.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Y'all remember the Arkansas State game. Butch Jones was crying
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: on the sideline. It was like 73 to nothing because
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: of explosive plays. And in talking to Colton Sully as
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: well as Tyler McComas over there on Locked on Sooners.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: Y'all can go check that video out as well and
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: hear what they have to say about But we need
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: explosive plays in this game. I don't wanna see a
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: consistent nine yards here and there type. No, I wanna
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: see a 25 yarder. I wanna see a 46 yarder.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: I wanna see a 38. I wanna see maybe a 70.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: I just need to see some big explosive plays in
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: the run game and the pass game for me to say,
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: all right, I think we are jailed to a point
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: where we should be good to go. Hydrating is gonna
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: be key, of course, because it's gonna be hot. But
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: explosive plays to me will be a great indicator that
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: this team is ready to go deep this season.
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and from both aspects, running the football and passing.
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: I would be okay if John Mateer ended up... up
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: with less than five carries. That would be a big, big, big,
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: big plus because I want to see him sit in
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: the pocket, go through his reads, get it to where
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: he needs to go. You know what, for the receiver's sake,
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: I don't want him going through the reads, you know,
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: off and on throughout the whole game. Like, I want
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: that first guy and that second guy to, you know,
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: be open. But, yeah, I mean, if you see X-Rob
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: getting into daylight, you know that he's going to try
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: to truck and he's going to try to go. I
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: think that, you know, getting a chance to have Louis
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: Devont back in there, you know, this is a chance
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: for us to kind of see what we've, what we've,
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: what we've, you know, kind of heard about in the practice. And, yeah,
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: I mean, I would say that I'd like to also see,
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: I think somebody said four different running backs. I'd like
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: to see us use a good, a good supply of
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: running backs. And I would like to see a good
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: supply of wide receivers. I would like to see Manny choice,
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: get in Carter, get in. I'd love to see just
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: your Rogers, get himself a catch. Like that's where I
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: think that we're going to continue to score because we're
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: going to try to get a bunch of new guys
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: a touch.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: Agreed. I want to see y'all score predictions and yeah,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: I gave us some bold ones. Actually, we did both
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: ones for the season. I don't think we did both
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: ones for this particular game. So let's do that. Give
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: me your bold predictions and your score for the game.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: I'm really curious of what that looks like. And speaking
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: of John Matera and his numbers... Shout out to our
• 31:13

• 31:30
  Speaker 1: now we got college football stuff in here, y'all. So like,
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: for example, Coop mentioned it, John Mateer. They have him
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: sitting here at 235.5 passing yards in this game against UTEP. Now, remember,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: last year, John put up 390 yards against Illinois State.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: Do the people with prize picks believe he's not going
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: to play the whole game? They believe he's going to
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: go ahead and play a certain part and then bounce
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: out and bring somebody else in?
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: Could be.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: I'm going to take the more on it. Same thing
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: with like Justin Haynes going up against Colorado. Definitely gonna
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: take the more on him running for 81.7. I'm definitely
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: taking Julian Lewis throwing for over 220 yards. Gino Lopez
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: at Wake. Eh, we'll take less. Mendoza, I think he's
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: gonna do less because I think they're gonna run the
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: ball like crazy. Pick two or more players. Pick more
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: or less on the stats and you are in the game.
• 32:19

  Speaker 1: us five stars. Bold predictions. I love these. All right,
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: we're going to start with my guy Red. Shout out
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: to him. Red Dirt Sports. The Dogefather, 56 to nothing
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: with two backs over 100 yards. That's bold. I say
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: that because when's the last time we had two running
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: backs run 400 yards in a game? I don't think
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: we've ever had that in the Brentville. No, we did
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: have it in Brentville's era. We had it against Florida
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: State in the Cheez-It Bowl. Golly. That's the last time
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: we did it. Javante Barnes.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: Javante and Sawcheck.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: As true freshmen. We ain't done it since. At least
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: I can't think of any. I'm going through my brain
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: of all the games.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: There's also Jackson Arnold's last 300-yard passing game.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: And I think, if I'm correct, Jackson Arnold and Xavier
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: Robinson got 100 against Bama. But I don't really count that.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: I meant two running backs. I'm going to go verify
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: that real quick. But two running backs, that's a lot.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: That's good. I love bold ones like that because that
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: would be nice for us to do that. And actually,
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: Jackson Arnold did not play in that game against Florida State.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: That was Dylan Gabriel.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, no, I'm sorry. I was talking Arizona. So yeah,
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: that's a whole year prior.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: So yeah, that was the first, literally the first one,
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: which is really insane. Duck is telling us that he
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: believes 56 to 0 is too low. 46 from the
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: first team with 21 from the second team. Wow. And
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: of course, Kai says he wants him to just cover
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: the spread, which I get. Oklahoma, Chris gives us Oklahoma 56,
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: UTEP 6. You think they're going to score? I hope
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: the defense sees this and says, you know what? I
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: took that personally. That's what I would do. I hope
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: they take that personally and say we're not going to
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: do that to ourselves. As I go to this one, Alabama. Ooh.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: Ooh. Yes.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: The last time we had two players run for 100 yards,
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: but not two running backs, Jackson Arnold Xavier Robson's Alabama 2024. Sheesh.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: The game that still just continues to blow my mind.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: The game that keeps on giving. Sean says 300 plus
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: yards on offense, 90 or less on defense. You think
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: we can hold them under 100 yards in this game, Coop?
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: I think under 150. If you're off.
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: If your offense is out there, if our offense is
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: throwing up 50, 60, 70 points, that means the defense
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: is going to be put on the field over and
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: over and over again too.
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: And I mean, you get.
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: 80, 80, let's see here, 80 yards in the first half,
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: 80 yards in the second half. I mean, that's 160.
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: That's not a lot, but let's say that they get
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: eight possessions. I mean, that's 20 yards of possession. So,
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: I mean, if that were to happen, I mean, it's
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: not bad if they get eight possessions, but yeah, I
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: want to see it. And maybe after all the, you know,
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: the sack yardage, which I personally believe I, you know,
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: I'm going to put the number of five sacks.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: I think that we get, go ahead. I was going
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: to say, I think we get five sacks. I don't
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: think we get a lot more than that. We're in
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: a lot of pressures. Uh, I think we'll get a
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: good amount of TFLs.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: Okay. Yeah. Who was it? Um, Arkansas State had 208
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: yards against us. Now, Illinois State, they had under 200
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: yards in that game, which I think we could probably
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: redo as well. Jimmy says 51-6. Wow. Yeah, I really
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: think they're going to score on this. I respect it.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: Y'all think we can pull a Kent State again? I
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: think we can pull a Kent State, but okay. Duck
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: says 73-0, 56-3. Y'all really are throwing the numbers up there. 64-0. 63-0.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: Coop says 64-0. That's your number, huh? Wait, 64, I'm
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: trying to think. How do you get to 64?
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, I don't care.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm trying to do the math in my head.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: How do you get there?
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: I don't care.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: It's like you guys, if you do the math, it's
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: not going to end up right.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: It's not. I'm just trying to figure out how we're
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: getting there. That's funny. Okie Trades. Bentley throws two touchdowns, 69-0.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: Two touchdowns by Bo Bentley would be interesting.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: That would be your third strand.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: I'm actually intrigued if he gets in the game. Yeah,
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: that would be intriguing to see if he even gets
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: in the game.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: Maybe the fourth quarter.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: Stevie says Cortland starts scoring with a pick six, and
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: they finish 55-0.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: I'd be upset. That means our offense only scored 40.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that would be a little disappointing, I guess you
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: could say, right? No, not really. I just wanted to
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: get out healthy and be good. Matt Newman says 400-plus
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: total yards and a 51-0 victory. I love the confidence.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: I actually feel good about this. Like I said, it
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: makes me think about the Arkansas State game. Arkansas State
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: was actually not a bad team either. They were not
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: a bad team coming in. We did a good job
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: of cooking in that one. 55-7 by Jarrett with 550
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: total offense. I really feel like this is going to
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: be closer to the Kent State game where we don't
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: give up a touchdown. I can say a field goal.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: That will be because of a mistake. But I'm struggling
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: with them scoring on us.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: I just hope they don't prove me wrong. you see
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: what their starting lineup is.
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: I'm guessing that when we got backups running in for them,
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: trying to get some PT, I don't really know if
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: you're going to have a situation where their third stringers
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: belong on a college campus at all. You know, I'm
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: not trying to be crass or mean to this team,
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: but I mean, this first, you know, this first lineup is,
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: is a little rough. So if our third stringers are
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: out there, against their third stringers, that talent gap is
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: going to be larger than the ones on the ones.
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: So I really do. I mean, I feel like the offense,
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: you know, with these 500, 600 yards, I'm curious to
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: see if we can get that many yards just because
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: like that Temple game two years ago, we have, you know,
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: a lot of short fields because I think that in
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: that Temple game we– The longest field we had was
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: like a 70-yard stretch, but most of them we were
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: getting the ball midfield or on plus territory.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah this is an interesting one collins 77 oh if
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: you know you know i would love for us to
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: be able to do that i would love for us
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: to pull it yeah that's when we did it man
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: we get a team to play this year was a
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: texas team to Yeah, it was a good old Aggies. And, yeah,
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: Illinois State only scored because of a turnover with that one.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: Bland playbook. Keeping guys healthy, 42-10. I appreciate y'all giving
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: respect to UTEP. A punt return for a touchdown. How
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: likely do you think that is, Coop?
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: It depends who's returning punts mid-game to the end of
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: the game.
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: Between what? Cetania and who?
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: I'm just hoping... Did I see.
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: I feel like I saw a defensive back as the
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: backup punt returner.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: Am I crazy?
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: I think so, actually.
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: No, it was just here, Rogers. It was just here, Rogers.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: It was just here, Rogers. Yeah, we should see some
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: freshmen actually hit the field. Listen.
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: Sierra Rogers scores on a punt return. I don't care
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: if it's first, second, third, or fourth quarter. I want
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: to get pretty stoked about that. That would be pretty dope.
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: He is a kick return guy. No, he's not, actually.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: Jacob Jordan and Trill Harris are your backup punters. But
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that we won't swap that out. I'll
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: just put it that way. Kick returners, Jonathan Hatton and
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: Lloyd Avant. The chances... The question is, how many kickoffs
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: will we actually get? I'm sensing possibly only one.
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: I'm calling... Oh, yeah, one. Yeah, one.
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: Unless you give up a score. I honestly think it's– well,
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: or a safety. I guess a safety would count. But
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: do we get to a safety point? I don't know.
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: Hey, we cough and cornered several times last year. And so,
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: you know, those punters are going to be– I mean,
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: it's still kind of a– there's a lot of competition
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: in that punt room still. So, yeah, I mean, if
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: you can put them down there, they're going to bunch
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: up and everybody's going to be right in the same spot.
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: And if they try to create space, I mean, yeah,
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: that's when you could get a safety.
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: Team 132 hype, man. First TD is Lloyd Avant screen pass. Ooh,
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: that would be fascinating. I love this question though. Matt
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: is asking, do we think Jake Crell is going to play? Absolutely.
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: I bet Jake Crell. I bet Jake Crell definitely plays
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: in the first half. And I would say we'll see
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: what the, you know, what the coaching staff looks like because,
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: I mean, you're trying to break in Wine, PJ, and Okoye,
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: but you're also trying to break in Gilmore, probably Jake Krell,
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: and trying to get some other guys in there, too.
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: So, yeah.
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: Oswalu probably also needing to get some edge time, too.
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. I would actually like to see that.
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: Hank gives us the 56-0. Three running backs have touchdowns
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: and two have multiple touchdowns. So the mindset here is
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: we're– this is what we're hoping and we're cashing out
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: there is we just run the ball well the entire time.
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: And I am in 100% agreeance with all of you.
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: The thing I care about most going into this game
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: is what this run game looks like. The last time
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: we had like a just like dominant, dominant run game
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: to start the season was literally UTEP last time and
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: Eric Gray got 100 yards in that game. I'm still
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: eating crow. on the Eric Gray career here at Oklahoma
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: because I did doubt him, and that dude did go
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: out there and get 1,000 yards in the season. Still
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: impressed that he was able to pull that off. Bishop
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: says 648 total yards, 63-3.
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: That's a lot of damn yards.
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: That's going to be a tough get, Bishop, because if
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: you– I mean, let's say you scored touchdowns in eight possessions.
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true.
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking. Yeah.
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying, like, if you have eight possessions, 60
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: yards apiece, that's 480 yards. So that means on your
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: non-scoring possessions or maybe another one, I mean, you got
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: to go a long way and then not score, I guess. But, yeah,
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: I think that getting over 550 yards is going to
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: be tough.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: Dropping the polls. John Mateer turnovers. We don't put negativity
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: out there too much, but we're going to have to
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: ask this question. I'm going to set the over-under at
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: half a turnover. Half. 0.5. Over or under in this game.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: Poll is now live. Go ahead and get your votes in.
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: I think I'm going under. I don't think he turns
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: the ball over in this game. I actually think he
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: does a really good job of protecting the ball. And
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: he takes some chances, but I don't think that he
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: risks it too much. But Okie Trades, you did say
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: hat and a kick returns. You did get some hate
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: in the comment section. I didn't think you was wrong.
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: Pat yourself on the back, bro. I totally went with
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: you on that because I don't think that's a bad idea.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: It's a good way to get your freshman in the game.
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, DeMarco Murray did it. Adrian Peterson, I think,
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: at one point did it. There's nothing wrong with it.
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: You don't want a necessary contact if he's like your
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: feature back, but yeah, you take advantage of that. I mean, heck,
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: DeMarco Murray was, but we still think about the national
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: championship game against Florida because of that, but I digress.
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: Jesse says, Rocky Beard scores the first touchdown of the game. Yeah,
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: who do y'all think is going to score the first
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: touchdown of the game? That is a very good question.
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: Who are you on, Coop? Who's the first touchdown scorer
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: in this game?
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: I like Yvonne, just because I feel like that's a
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: good way to, and maybe it doesn't end up being
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: anything spectacular, but you get the ball at the four-yard line,
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: you're going to pump it to Yvonne for a thanks
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: for coming here, thanks for adding veteran presence. all the
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: hard work that you did in the offseason, and you
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: may not get a lot of running time here going forward.
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: So we're going to hook you up. So I think
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: it's Lloyd Vaughn.
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: He's going with Lloyd. I think first touchdown is going
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: to be Xavier Robinson. I think he figures out how
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: to break, and I think he's the one that scores.
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: I'm totally– I think it's going to be him. What up, Drew?
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: Shout out to him. Go check out the Huddle Up pod.
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: He had Darinoka on there recently. Really good interview. Go
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: check out the homie over there at the Huddle Up pod.
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: Kip gets the first sack. Who gets the first sack? Coop,
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: who you got? Yeah, drop who y'all think the first
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: touchdown is going to be in there. We'll go through that,
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: and we're also going to talk about the first sack
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: right after that.
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: Who do you think gets the.
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: First sack if we get one?
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: Taylor Wine. I just.
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: If they drop back, he's the one that you can
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: kind of plan on lulling somebody to sleep, maybe playing
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: more assignment sounds, and then all of a sudden he
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: gets the opportunity to go.
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: He's going to go.
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: You know who I'm going with? Jaden Jackson. I think
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: those edges are going to terrify them so much that
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: EJ's going to move up and Jade's going to bust
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: through the middle and be right there. Pull him down.
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: He's going to do his dance. Get it going. I
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: think Zayn Jackson gets the first one.
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: Who would be the most exciting to get the first sack?
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: Who would be the most exciting? Probably starters. I'm going
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: to go ahead and say starting lineup.
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: I'd say PJ.
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: Because it's kind of one of those, it's like the
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: prophecy comes to light, right? We've been waiting for him
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: to have a freakish season of edge rushing. And it's
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: more so on the pass rush side for him. Because
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: last season, he was actually really good in the run.
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: He was like a top five or top ten edge
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: in the SEC in run stopping. So he was good.
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: He just doesn't have all those sack numbers that people
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: calculate them. I mean, or even as many pressures, he
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: needs to get the, he needs to get some of
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: those pass rush numbers to where everybody's like, like he
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: needs a double digit season. If he gets a double
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: digit season in sacks and then I think everybody's going
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: to be like, okay, he finally lived up to it.
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: He got it done. It's also the thing that people
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: fail to remember is he ain't been playing football that long.
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: He's still young as a football player. That's one of
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: those he's got to get going. Kip gets the first touchdown.
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: Fascinating one. ET first touchdown. Kip or ET? That's interesting.
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: Trill. We've been hearing a lot about Trill. And if
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: Trill does break out, that would be, get like a
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: deep play, like a play action or something. Because I
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: know that we're doing under center stuff. I'm going to
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: be honest. I don't think we actually do much under
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: center in this game, if any at all. I do
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: think we do a lot of the tight end sets.
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: I do think that that actually does happen because that's
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: what we do best. But yeah, I don't think we actually...
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: I don't think we actually use it much.
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: A couple years ago, looking at some of the film
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: with Deion Burks when you first came in with Jackson,
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: Deion did a lot of stuff deep over the middle
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: during practices. And if you go back and watch a
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: lot of Terrell Harris tape.
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: He is always.
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: willing to take that seam route or run that post
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: right over the middle. And he does a good job
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: at it. He sells it well enough that the safety
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: who's eyeballing him doesn't shade. So I could 100% see
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: third or fourth play of the game just throwing a
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: bomb to Terrell right down the middle because I think
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: that you don't really care to hide something like that
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: because you can go and watch his film you know,
• 50:04
  Speaker 3: from the past couple years, and that happened often. So
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: that's going to be in his game. I'd like to
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: see us just, you know, the bomb for the touchdown,
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: you know, because a lot of the time the longer
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: touchdowns we've had, even just last year, was, you know,
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: a medium-level pass that just went for the rest of
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: the way. And so I'd like to see, you know,
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: air in the football and getting a satanier, getting a
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: trail just taken off down the middle and– Let's see
• 50:32
  Speaker 3: what happens there.
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: And that, you know, maybe from midfield or the 40.
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: Yep. Especially if it's a non-busted play. That's basically how
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: we were able to do it. All right. Let's go
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: ahead and rapid fire these. Let's rapid fire the games
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: for this weekend because we've got other games. SEC, baby.
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: Thank you all, of course, for pulling up. Hit that
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: like button if you're new to the channel. Subscribe, rate, review.
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: Give us five stars. We're going to talk about... These
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: SEC matchups for this weekend. Let me go ahead and
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: share what we're looking at. All right, we're on ESPN.com site.
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: Just make it simple for myself. First and foremost, like
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: I said, we're going to rapid fire through a lot
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: of these. There's only two games that really are big.
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: Your two games are LSU, Clemson, Ole Miss, Louisville. But
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: we've got a lot of cupcakes. Missouri, Arkansas, Pine Bluff.
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: Missouri better cover that spread. It's like 54-something. They better
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: cover that spread.
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: Arkansas's already.
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: Pine Bluff's already got themselves a win under their belt. So,
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: I think that Missouri's not going to cover that one,
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: especially this Hardy play. Like, I still don't know if
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: that's been fully announced one way or the other.
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: He's not playing for probably like the first four games,
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: first quarter of the season.
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: If at all. So.
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: That feels like a stretch for me because you're breaking
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: in a new quarterback. You're breaking in a new offensive coordinator.
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: You're breaking in probably– I mean, listen, they're not going
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: to be hurting at running back.
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Roberts is going to be good. That's a fair point.
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm curious to see what Austin Simmons looks like.
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: There's no excuse not to hit 60 points by themselves
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: in this situation. Of course, us versus UTEP, we're going
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: to pick us to win. There's no excuse if we
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: don't fire everybody. Tennessee Furman. Tennessee is another one of
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: those cupcake games. Tennessee is a 46.5 point favorite. This
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: is Faison Brandon's first game. Give me Tennessee to cover
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: that spread. I know that Hypo is going to go
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: out there and be like, sling it. We need to
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: sling it. Sling it like crazy.
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: There's no excuse. You need to go out there and
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: you need to go for 70.
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: That part. East Carolina, Alabama. Alabama is a 28.5 point
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: favorite in this one. Keelan Russell. Uh, the, the, the
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: second year guy, you got to start calling them just
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: sophomores and not, not actually talk about their, their talk
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: about their academic class and not their, uh, no more
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: red shirt words, but, uh, he's second year dude. It's
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: going to be interesting. I don't think they actually, they should,
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: I think they should win by 35, but I don't
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: think it's going to be, I don't think they shut
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: out East Carolina, but I do think they win by
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: 35 points. I got them covering the spread as well.
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: Um, I think I take Tennessee, Alabama, Kentucky. You need
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: to get out there and let, I mean, just let
• 53:38
  Speaker 3: it fly.
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, absolutely. It does.
• 53:40
  Speaker 3: I'm in South Carolina too. Um, I, you know, if it,
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: with Lenora sellers, yeah. With Lenora sellers. I, I don't
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: know if you script him much for first Kent state.
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: You just tell him you go win this game. Just
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: go win this game.
• 53:55
  Speaker 3: And let him just cook and see if he can
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: kind of capture some of the stuff that he had
• 53:59
  Speaker 3: in the past. But all those Tennessee, Alabama, all these
• 54:02
  Speaker 3: new quarterbacks, you go out there and you just let
• 54:05
  Speaker 3: them throw because, I mean, you should have just built-in
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: success versus those teams.
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm curious to see what Kentucky looks like with
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: Javante Barnes, if he gets healthy. And then they also
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: had the other running back from Baxter, C.J. Baxter from Texas.
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: yeah funny enough they got a red river combo they're
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: rocking blue together does does red river colors combine to
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: make blue yeah i don't think that color palette actually
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: happens does it no it doesn't i don't think so
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: um yeah so georgia tennessee state this is the funny
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: one georgia's at 46 and a half point favorite they
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: will not cover that spread which is the wildest thing
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: in the world to me Because everybody's talking about it
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: on the socials. I went back and looked, and it's
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: 100% confirmed that for some very odd, interesting reason, when
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: Georgia's playing these cupcakes, they don't cover the spread. But
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: then they go cover the spread dramatically. They cover that
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: exact spread number against an SEC team like the next week.
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: I get not sure on your hand, but come on.
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: Bama's kind of the same thing, too, in the past. Now,
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: that's Nick Saban-Bama, but yeah. Now, listen, if it comes out.
• 55:18
  Speaker 3: And Georgia wins 42-10, I wouldn't be too surprised.
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: Fair. Yeah, Kirby does not care about spreads. I think
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: Kirby actually hates spreads. Oh, I forgot. There's a third game.
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: There's three games that we actually need to talk about.
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: So let's jump to those. Texas, Texas State. Texas better
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: cover that spread or the world's going to come to
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: an end for them. Arkansas should cover their spread against
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: North Alabama. I'm going to talk about them and A
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: & M and Vanderbilt later. Baylor-Auburn at Mercedes-Benz.
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: Atlanta.
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: Okay, so for one, this is like a three-hour drive
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: for Auburn. Yeah. But... Auburn's a seven and a half
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: point favorite in this game. DJ Lagway playing against another
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: SEC squad. There's no reason that Auburn shouldn't cover the
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: spread though, right?
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: No. And it all one-up you here.
• 56:30
  Speaker 3: Who has a better week one? Jackson Arnold or DJ Lagway?
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: Oh... I hate you because I really have to think
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: about that. Well, Lagway is not going to get sacked
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: to lose the game. He probably won't get sacked six
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: times in the game. He's a pretty big dude. He's
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: kind of hard to pull down. Kind of like Josh Allen.
• 57:00
  Speaker 3: Hmm.
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: I think Lagway has a better week. I think actually
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: Lagway puts up some decent numbers against Auburn. I think, well, Spavital,
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: the OC there at Baylor is able to get him
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: really going. But I think Auburn ends up winning this
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: game by 10. I think it's like 24-14 type score.
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, the total is 59 and a half. That
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: feels really high. 60 points?
• 57:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, Auburn's not going to be giving up a
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: ton of points. Last year, This was the game where
• 57:37
  Speaker 3: Jackson Arnold just ran all over Baylor, and Baylor just
• 57:42
  Speaker 3: threw all over Auburn. And so you thought, like, going
• 57:45
  Speaker 3: into the year, well, Auburn's defense, well, Auburn's defense is
• 57:49
  Speaker 3: still going to be pretty good. So, yeah, I mean,
• 57:52
  Speaker 3: I got Auburn, you know, by 10, and I'm going
• 57:54
  Speaker 3: to go with somewhere around like the, you know, probably
• 57:57
  Speaker 3: a 28-13, something like that.
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm showing love to SEC superiority over there on that. Arkansas,
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: 40-point favorite. They better cover that, especially the fact that
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: the quarterback that stayed at Arkansas won the job over
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: the transfer in makes me feel a little bit better
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: about Silverfield. Doesn't feel like he walked in there and said,
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: I'm only going to use my guys. It feels like
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: they actually evaluated stuff. Arkansas should cover that spread.
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: It's going to be one of their two wins, so
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: they better have fun.
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, fair. Texas A & M, yeah, they're going
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: to cover it. Vanderbilt, I'm really curious to see the
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: former Oklahoma, well, Cushing, Oklahoma quarterback playing out there. I'm
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: intrigued to see what that looks like.
• 58:51
  Speaker 3: I mean, this is the post-Johnny Mansell, post-Diego Pavia. Now
• 58:59
  Speaker 3: you get back to this, we're a football team. Well,
• 59:03
  Speaker 3: let's go in all together. You don't have that one
• 59:06
  Speaker 3: guy who's the face of the program. But that being said.
• 59:10
  Speaker 3: Clark Lee has done a good job on their offense.
• 59:13
  Speaker 3: Even the past three years, Clark Lee's offense has continued
• 59:17
  Speaker 3: to get better and better and better.
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: Do you continue?
• 59:22
  Speaker 3: Do we see anybody else at quarterback?
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: Let's This is going to be a fun game.
• 59:30
  Speaker 3: You know, what is the total is 60 and a
• 59:34
  Speaker 3: 30-point spread. So, I mean, what is that like? I mean,
• 59:38
  Speaker 3: that's like a 45-15 type of a game. You know, so,
• 59:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, that would be a big game. So, yeah,
• 59:46
  Speaker 3: I'm interested to see that. Austin Peay, they've already got
• 59:49
  Speaker 3: themselves a game.
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: But Vandy.
• 59:51
  Speaker 3: is playing for kind of the headlines that we're not
• 59:56
  Speaker 3: going anywhere, we're still here, we're not going back down
• 59:58
  Speaker 3: to the basement. So is it like when the old
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 3: school Baylor was garbage for so long and then RG3
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 3: comes along and then they all of a sudden had
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 3: more of a team?
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: Every year they've been good, yeah. Yeah, they've been consistent
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: from there. Yeah, I think Clark Lee keeps them consistent.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: Blaze Berlowitz is the one from Cushing. He's the starting
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: quarterback over Jared Curtis, the five-star quarterback. I think that
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: Jared Curtis takes that job at some point. But we'll
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: see what Blaze looks like. This will be a good
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: game to tell us. All right, the two big games,
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: and then we're going to get out of here. LSU-Clemson.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: A lot of y'all talking about y'all want Clemson to
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: win this game. I'm totally here for y'all saying y'all
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: want Clemson to win this game. Drew even said Clemson
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: over LSU, and he's calling it. LSU is a 10-point
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: favorite at the crib. That feels like a lot of points.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: in a game where Clemson defensively should be better. This
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: is Tom Allen's second season there, and he should have
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: gotten things similar to how good they were at Penn
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: State when he was there. First year for Lane Kiffin.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: It usually takes two years for his quarterbacks to really
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: get going. He's not going to have two years here
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: with Levitt, so they've got to figure this out extremely quickly,
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: or they play Longstreet, who's right behind him. I think
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: Clemson ends up pulling the upset down there in Baton Rouge.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: It feels like an upset situation. And it's not me
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: hating on Lane Kiffin. I just feel like it's an
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: upset situation just because they're bringing in all those players. So, yeah.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 3: I say it almost every year, and it usually involves
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 3: USC or LSU. I mean, if this game's close one
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 3: way or the other, does that tell us a lot
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 3: about either team? because one team can fall off, one
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 3: team can improve. You've got Sammy Brown, linebacker for Clemson.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 3: He's going to be trying for a Buckus Award this year,
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 3: and he's going to be the favorite through most of
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 3: the year on the East Coast. That Clemson defense is
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 3: going to have to somehow try to make LSU one-dimensional.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 3: LSU had a lot of trouble running the football last year.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 3: You know, they've got, you know, they've got some, you know,
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 3: good transfers coming in. But that's where I think it's
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 3: going to be. If Clemson could turn around and make
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 3: LSU one-dimensional, and then you take your chances, you know,
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 3: from that point going forward.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: No, and I totally with you, Kyle, on the LSU
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: returning a lot of their good defensive players and trade
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: as Green's going to be a pain.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: Very much.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: I want to see what Clemson's defense still has got
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: a lot of talent too. Like they, like in Tom Allen's,
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: like I said, it's a really good DC when he's
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: getting things going. So I don't know. I, I, I
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: would not be surprised if LSU won. I do think
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: Clemson covers the spread though, regardless. I think that this
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: game is going to be a lot closer than people
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: want to give either team credit for in general. Ole Miss, Louisville.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: Last game of the entire weekend. They are the headliner
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: for Sunday night. We may need to go live a
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: little bit earlier so we can watch that in all
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: of its entirety because that's going to be a good one. Man.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: Ole Miss six and a half point favorite in Nashville.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: So there's about halfway point for both on the drive about.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: Maybe a little bit closer for Louisville. But I'm kind
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: of sold on Louisville, man. Jeff Brown be coaching his
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: butt off. Actually like what he does.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 3: And Louisville is a certified terrorist program.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: They really are.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 3: On Thursday nights, Friday nights, and now this is on
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 3: a Sunday night. And you're watching everything. I can promise
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 3: you Ole Miss is going to. You tell me how
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 3: many people from.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: Do you think Ole.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 3: Miss holds a watch party? where everybody gets to sit
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 3: down and watch that Clemson-LSU game the night before. But listen,
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 3: Ole Miss, we've talked about it. You have Pete Golding
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 3: taking over. You've got possibly the best quarterback running back.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm going to go ahead and say the
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 3: best quarterback running back tandem in college football with Ole Miss.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 3: But Louisville is going to muck up the game. They're
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 3: going to force you to be disciplined, to stay the course.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 3: You know, week one, all of the emotions from last year,
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 3: those things are gone now for Ole Miss. But this
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 3: is the game that Louisville wins a lot.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 3: Typically they're ranked like 26th or 27th just right off
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 3: the rankings and they do this.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: But I can promise you this.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 3: If Ole Miss does turn around and win that game, Louisville,
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 3: whoever their next big opponent is, is in some trouble.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of people are, like I said, very
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: high on Jeff Brown and what he's doing. He was
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: a terrorist at Purdue. That's how he got this job here.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: Purdue is now back in the cellar after he left.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: And he's been doing good stuff there at Louisville. I
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: like Isaac Brown. I love the other running back, Brown,
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: as well, with him. The Brown brothers in the running
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: back position. Yep. I'm a fan of what they're doing.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: I think Ole Miss wins this game. I think Louisville
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: covers the spread. I've switched my pick on it. I
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: actually am sticking with SEC. I think that they– I
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: think Ole Miss covers. I think Louisville covers the spread,
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: but I think Ole Miss squeaks it out in this
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: neutral site game. That's fair. It's going to be tough.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: It's going to be a good weekend of football. That's
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: what matters. Let me see. One more question. That's this weekend.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: That's this weekend.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: It's Sunday.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 3: Just in case you are not paying attention. All this
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 3: stuff we're talking about starts tomorrow. All these football games
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 3: start tomorrow.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: Starting Thursday, we're going forward. Jonathan had a good question.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: I've heard you mention before our defensive line is known
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: to hurt other teams online. We've gotten lucky so far,
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: but are injuries truly part of football, or can we
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: learn from Indiana's practices? Indiana's lost some players also, too,
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: in practice as well. We've all already lightened up how
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: we practice.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: It's unfortunate. There's not much you can do when you're
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: just D-line is just that dominant. Like you're going to
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: you're going to have to have physical practices. So but
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: they've lightened up the practices in comparison to years past
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: is what I've heard. But they still have those moments
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: where you guys still got to practice how you play.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying?
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: And I don't think they practice forever anymore. Similar to.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: the way they do things in Indiana, but I do
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: think that injuries are part of football. Can't do anything
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: about it. It's just, you just get lucky that, like
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: the Michael one again, I don't think it was a
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: defensive player that hurt him. Somebody just rolled up on him.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: It was kind of like Giovanni Gibson last year. Giovanni's
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: injury wasn't anything else besides he's blocking a corner that
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: And then I heard it was Deion Burks tripped, rolled,
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: and fell on his leg when he was going like
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: an end around. Freak accidents, man. That stuff happens. Somebody
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: steps wrong. Somebody twists their ankle in a weird way.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: But we are a physical team. So, yeah, some of
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: it is just the physicality we play. But you've got
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: to prepare yourself for the season if you're going to
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: maintain that type of physicality, unfortunately, sometimes. Just watch the
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: U-Tip game. That'll tell you a lot.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 3: If you play not to get hurt, that's typically where
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 3: some bad stuff happens. Yeah.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Most of the hurt people is usually against us,
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: not us. Go see that. And I think that that's
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: also how they lighten up some of the practices. They
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: recognize that, oh, no, we typically just beat the crap
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: out of people just because that's how we play.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah. All right.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: We're going to get out of here. We got a
• 1:08:14
