- 0:42Welcome back to the boundary Corner podcast.
- 0:46My name is Curtis Wilson. I'm Brian C glow of Victory
- 0:49night, buddy. You were incorrect.
- 0:53I am so glad In the, the in total is seven
- 1:13but you feel like, you know, it was kind of a roller coaster
- 1:18ride. It was, we were up, then they
- 1:20came back and just kind of wild Brian, you know, Halloween witch
- 1:27covid, Halloween, a little different.
- 1:30Probably for both of us this year.
- 1:32I know me and the family over to the in-laws and the kids played
- 1:37some games and, you know, we made homemade pizzas, which were
- 1:43money. Hey, cool, be the same thing,
- 1:47dude. Oh nice, man.
- 1:49Yeah. So and then we went to a few of
- 1:53the just a couple of their local neighbors, houses and got bags
- 1:57of candy and my mother-in-law has so much Canadore house right
- 2:00now, like We don't we didn't really need to go
- 2:04trick-or-treating but so y'all had homemade pizza to homemade
- 2:07pizza. Had some some meatballs and just
- 2:15kind of did a little little trick or treat around the
- 2:18neighborhood. There's a couple of houses that
- 2:19have some some candy and then we came back.
- 2:21And we had bags of candy that we kind of put together with glow
- 2:27sticks and we kind of spread them out in the neighbor's
- 2:29backyard and let the kids kind of go almost have like A
- 2:33Halloween Easter egg hunts type deal.
- 2:35Nice man nice. Um I will say this in the hope
- 2:40this will go on after covid. Something and I think it
- 2:44happened in our neighborhood even though we weren't here
- 2:46tonight I think people didn't wait at their doors.
- 2:51I know in my in-laws neighborhood.
- 2:53Everybody had a table set up. Some people have their fire pits
- 2:56at the road. Other people had their
- 2:57decorations continues run because It was nice to kids
- 3:03could walk up and see a face and not have to worry about open the
- 3:06door. If they do that in our
- 3:09neighborhood, we would get Triple the houses because you,
- 3:13you, you went with us a couple of years ago.
- 3:16Yes, but much time going to the door.
- 3:19Oh yeah, let's go. It's true, man.
- 3:27I mean, if more people live, just even just hang out in your
- 3:30driveway, even if you're not right at, right.
- 3:32At the Road. Yeah.
- 3:34So, it was still a great time. We came home, watched Hocus
- 3:38Pocus, and now I'm sitting here talking to you watching some
- 3:42highlights and let's just start it.
- 3:45Brian Hokies offense today, mr. Perfect himself.
- 3:49Hey fucker. Ten for ten 183 yards, he had 68
- 3:56on the ground. Well, 19 carries three rushing
- 3:59touchdowns. Now, early texted you, this, he
- 4:03was playing balls out. I mean, in recklessly in some
- 4:08ways being risky, including losing that fumble.
- 4:10But it seems like, you know, not losing the formula, losing the
- 4:14fumble, but we recovered dip. He kind of rated and got more
- 4:18control back to the hinted. We know real quick.
- 4:21Since you only have 10,000, I want to hit a receiver lines,
- 4:24Trey Turner, great day for 471 through the air to Russia's or
- 4:2910 yards. One touchdown heavy on Robinson,
- 4:33Cooper 53 with the 28-yard Rush, Big Stone Gap, 3446 Nick Gallo
- 4:391413. But when you kind of hit on it
- 4:43earlier, Brian back and forth. And texting early on short
- 4:46intermediate route from screens and the game went along
- 4:51everything opened. Up, where the hell was this last
- 4:55week? And what else did you see in the
- 4:57passing game? Stay behind the passing game.
- 5:00Like, I'll say this. The calls were strategic,
- 5:03especially early on. It looked like we had what we
- 5:08would call a game plan coming into this thing of how to attack
- 5:11this defense. And you know, it will say this
- 5:16way. I mean I know the criticism we
- 5:18have is not not going away from the game playing if it's not
- 5:21working. But in this case, Game plan was
- 5:25was damn good against what this defense likes to do.
- 5:28Working the enemy intermediate routes working.
- 5:30In some screens kind of soften them up where they couldn't just
- 5:34stack the box and tee off on the running game.
- 5:36And then, once once they had to kind of Honor that we got
- 5:41cooking and You know, it was, it was a great day all around, man,
- 5:46and big. Shout out to him and hooker for
- 5:49after playing the worst game of his career bouncing back with
- 5:53that stat line, man. Unbelievable.
- 5:56And you talk about the game plan behind the game plan was great
- 6:00play, calling was great, the execution was great, especially
- 6:03on the offensive side of the ball and you talked about
- 6:06opening up that run game at run game again, dominant we got him
- 6:11to the stats and the wideouts Khalil.
- 6:15Is he doing? What are you doing?
- 6:1621 carries. 147 yards and touchdown at 7 yards, a carry
- 6:23Blackshear, helping him stay fresh black here today and Got7.
- 6:28Carriage 34 yards at 4.9, the Maggie was right at the magic
- 6:31number of five as a whole team bride, 283 yards, five and a
- 6:37half of Carrie. I have a feeling the way we ran
- 6:42the ball and all the Different ways around the ball you like
- 6:45today as an offensive lineman. Oh yeah man.
- 6:48Oh yeah, the the offensive line definitely was was feasting
- 6:52today and we said it had to happen and once, once we kind of
- 6:55got some ideas that some of their defensive players are
- 6:57going to be out, he's like, Alright, well offensive line
- 7:00needs to eat today, and they definitely, they took advantage
- 7:04of that and did what they needed to do.
- 7:07Love the energy from the interior, the offensive line,
- 7:10loved that the tackles responded after their rough game.
- 7:13Week Brock had a really good game today watching him
- 7:18specifically throughout the day. He was the was neutralizing.
- 7:23The nose getting guys, where they need to be got the nose
- 7:28frustrated there towards the end.
- 7:30Got a free 15 burger. That next play, we take for a
- 7:33touchdown so you know, the 15 Burger, it happens and aerosols.
- 7:39There's like, got it. That's brought going to the
- 7:46whistle, and, like, just passed. And then letting the defender
- 7:50get frustrated. You know, throw a little open
- 7:54punch there and you have brought did a great job of flopping
- 7:57there and I loved it. So well done, bra Kaufman, and
- 8:03as I said, next play a play, I hadn't really seen us do a whole
- 8:08lot of man. He was a little Jet Sweep
- 8:11counter to Herbert and Smith just pulls around on that
- 8:16counter and seals The Edge. And the only guy there is the
- 8:21safety and he came I am at a bad angle and Herbert ran for a
- 8:25touchdown. He did that.
- 8:27Lettuce Smith play. You pointed it out to me.
- 8:30And you said, look at this little kiss in.
- 8:32Leviticus is just killing the guy in Gallo ads.
- 8:36You know, punishment to it, throws a shoulder and and they
- 8:39just the poor linebacker was dead.
- 8:42The poor outside line was it that was that the safety on the
- 8:46those the safety that came with to fill?
- 8:48But because of how they seal the edge like he was in no man's
- 8:51land and her, I had such a good area to just cut it straight up
- 8:55the field instead of getting to the edge and then Harvard does
- 8:59what he does when that happened and it is absolutely.
- 9:02And Brian. I mean, you talked about, you
- 9:07know, that play but name the other plays that you soccer,
- 9:10you've told me but I want the fans to listen and give them
- 9:13roughly about when it happened because it was, it wasn't just,
- 9:18you know, tell them all the please, you saw.
- 9:20I mean, so we saw on the Red Zone.
- 9:25Touchdown that for Hindi hooker, we saw Jet Sweep and we had
- 9:30criticized the Jet Sweep in the Red Zone.
- 9:33But what did it do this time? It wasn't just a inverted.
- 9:38V r Jet Sweep hand off. It was actually a reed, which
- 9:42bronze think it should be. Worded Veer and not just a Jet
- 9:53Sweep hand off to the wide receiver and and it had a wide
- 10:00open Lane right up the middle. Just off the right off the left
- 10:03guard. I mean, oh yeah, it's down but
- 10:07even its setup song and going on after that, you know that
- 10:12terrible ending to the first half we come out.
- 10:14We drive we hit Big Stone Gap, down the middle.
- 10:16And what do they do this time? Brian. not a fan of it, but it
- 10:21but if you're showing the faith We Run The Jet Sweep to trade.
- 10:26Yep. What did those linebackers do
- 10:28for a Split Second? Oh, they hesitated man and what
- 10:32happened? All of a sudden got the edge
- 10:35inside. Touchdown to after getting
- 10:39knocked down right at the end of the half, we counter punch and
- 10:43get back up 14. Yep.
- 10:47And you know, we saw that we also saw later where it was just
- 10:52you know, this one look more like a true.
- 10:53It was just a true Jet Sweep. It was in the kind of the middle
- 10:57of the field area where that's that's a good call and that one
- 11:00went to Tavian Robinson. He took that one for 28 yards.
- 11:04Yeah, that was his lone Ron and it was Let's do it again and it
- 11:08was location of that play was so important because again how we
- 11:14had passed the ball to we hit some intermediate.
- 11:16So if you go jet faith and you know trays one little drag
- 11:20behind it, What it's the linebackers.
- 11:24You've told me before they have to think they see jet motion.
- 11:29They're not immediately going to it there.
- 11:31Wait a second, where's the guy behind me in that case?
- 11:33We make a perfect Ally taste right up there for a massive
- 11:37game and we'd also done some of that earlier in the day on WE
- 11:41whether it was the inverted V or to the running back or whether
- 11:45it was a quarterback, sweet, we had shown that quarterback
- 11:48action to the right than we had that one throwback to gallo.
- 11:52It got us some good yards on the when we needed a third and
- 11:55short. So, they'll be like I said,
- 11:57everything, was it? Just, it felt like the calls
- 12:01were setting themselves up and it made sense and that's
- 12:06something that we just Sometimes it frustrates us and I like it.
- 12:13I'll be I'm I have very little criticism to throw and
- 12:18breadcrumb Nelson Street this week.
- 12:19So that's a win in my book. The Game Plan was great.
- 12:26The play calling was excellent. Today, there are two more jobs.
- 12:31I want to hit on Brian. Before we flip over defense
- 12:33well, discuss one bad trait and then flipped over to defense.
- 12:38Um, we talked or three in total. The first one, we just discussed
- 12:44the trade touchdown. The other one was after we stop
- 12:47them down in the Red Zone. Fourth down that drive, 14 plays
- 12:5484 yards over 7 Minutes, 11 runs to passing that, we only get a
- 13:00field goal to go up 3114, but what that helps do was sort of a
- 13:07it shrunk, their clock. from like, you know, like 11 minutes
- 13:11to like they have for dipping it very little time to do anything
- 13:18and you know, That's some sort of drives you need in the middle
- 13:25of these type games. When you know this office, it
- 13:27can spoil quickly is just to take a ton out and say you're
- 13:31going to have to score quickly because I must work quickly and
- 13:34you going to have to score touchdowns exactly because at
- 13:37that point you can still get a field goal and then get another
- 13:40touchdown and win the game. Now you need two touchdowns and
- 13:45that so that was Kyon Ki they're getting to 3421 at that.
- 13:50Point, you know, we had that good drive to get to get to get
- 13:56going there. So then, you know, they did some
- 13:59good things on offense, but we seem to always have an answer
- 14:03when we got the ball back. So I like seeing that
- 14:06consistently across the board, man.
- 14:08It just, you know, we had our lows here and they're
- 14:12particularly on. I'm going to go ahead and say a
- 14:14man third down. Hahaha, we got the third down.
- 14:18It wasn't pretty and it was mostly Most of the execution man
- 14:22it wasn't necessarily bad calls or anything like that.
- 14:24We had we had some just you know Miss a block here or overthrow
- 14:30their I mean it wasn't like a big deal but we didn't get to
- 14:35very many third Downs which which helped the game.
- 14:38You only had seven the whole night.
- 14:39So that tells you we were ahead of the sticks.
- 14:42Pretty much the whole game. Yeah. 147 on third down 1410
- 14:464248 on those critical downs. But it Has to get better.
- 14:51Yeah, has to get better but I think today we you know, where
- 14:59we know it needs to get better but today what we saw were the
- 15:02right plays were in there for those play called you talk about
- 15:06execution and I would prefer this is me as a common fan.
- 15:11I would prefer to be that way, because when I see a bad play
- 15:14call, it's like, well, what are we thinking here?
- 15:17We're defeating ourselves before we even run the play. 100% And
- 15:22you defeated the confidence of your God at least on those good
- 15:25plays. You can say, hey, Doug right
- 15:28here. You missed the punch.
- 15:31You hit that punch. The holes, there, we get a first
- 15:34down. Yeah, versus coach.
- 15:38You know, we kind of execute this play.
- 15:40Okay, we should have got a first down.
- 15:42It was where you called it on the field.
- 15:45I'm sure the kids don't say that but I'm sure you're thinking
- 15:47them through their head. So yeah, definitely you know
- 15:53Frank Wilson redeems himself in a somewhat but what we see and
- 16:00then you talked about it Brian, while ago.
- 16:04BC game in this game, get up. We didn't pass the ball money,
- 16:09but the passes were early, and it made them think they have to
- 16:13wear the rest of the office. Just got to open versus the
- 16:17weight gain Pagan. Have to think we were taking
- 16:21deep shots and we were running to their strength and their the
- 16:25two differences from winning two games won by over 21 by
- 16:31touchdown. So that's what Aunt are taking.
- 16:36This is a classic example of just calling to your strength
- 16:39and seeing what happens instead of trying to outthink the room
- 16:45and that that's all I'm going to say, man.
- 16:48I mean, I feel like this But make sure that you're making
- 17:05calls that are going to allow your strength to succeed, and I
- 17:10think we finally saw that and it was nice to get back to that
- 17:14because after the way game there was, there were some some
- 17:19chatter like oh well you know if you can take away outside Zone
- 17:24you can slow us down and yeah well maybe but not so much not
- 17:29so much. And now braless, flip it over to
- 17:32the defense here. Um yeah beep, it's had its ups
- 17:35and downs today but when playing offense with the type of speed
- 17:40that Louisville's weapons have, you know, especially the elite
- 17:45guys and then they're complements the three, you know,
- 17:47two of the guys, we just hit name was born.
- 17:49The guy you broke down, who scored a touchdown today week
- 17:54came out, fired up. They stay fired up, we will pop
- 17:58in Louisville. We were getting sacks, early
- 17:59tackles for loss. Now that domination did not
- 18:02carry the whole game. But there were pivotal plays
- 18:07made throughout getting them behind the chains, tackles for
- 18:10losses, stalemated them giving them one-yard gain preventing
- 18:14them from go to the second level.
- 18:16And I'm going to say this looking kind of run defense,
- 18:19first to have somebody like Cunningham at quarterback and it
- 18:24had a talking to the backfield. When I look at the stats and I
- 18:27see 198 yards, it makes me kind of thing, my head's like cheesy,
- 18:31they think got to us. But then what?
- 18:34I take out ways, I think he had that 190 yard run into the first
- 18:39half, almost will kill. A lot of teams would have just
- 18:43laid down and said, cheesy they, we dominated the first half and
- 18:45they're down a touchdown we did. And when I take that run out,
- 18:50they had 108 yards, total run and you talked about on faith
- 18:55prevent them from getting to the second level.
- 18:58Well, that was really the only time he got to the second level.
- 19:03The entire game, there might be one or two other spots but
- 19:06significantly get into the second level.
- 19:08You take out that 108 on the other 28 carries.
- 19:12They averaged 3.9 a carry, I'll take that all day against that
- 19:16team with that speed, the van and then you called it because
- 19:21it'll player key player. Number one, was Tisdale hell of
- 19:24a game for him. Nine total tackles including two
- 19:27for loss. What did you see?
- 19:29Not only from him but the Tire defense especially against the
- 19:36Run. Especially those who guys?
- 19:39So they were they were using him a lot to do several things.
- 19:44It looks like they were having him shadowing Hawkins at times.
- 19:48Sometimes they were having him spy Cunningham, they had him out
- 19:53and coverage, we mixed it up. We weren't just doing one thing
- 19:56the whole game and I think that was probably really a good game
- 19:59plan because it confused the offense.
- 20:02They I didn't know where he was going to be, they didn't know
- 20:05what we were going to be doing. So we mix things up a lot where
- 20:07they really couldn't get settled in especially in the first half,
- 20:10man. I mean, if you look at the first
- 20:12half numbers, they did a damn good job.
- 20:15Take away that, that 90 yarder with four seconds left that you
- 20:19have ended up closing out the half.
- 20:23You'll wants to run was completed there so you had soft
- 20:27to the game plan that came in here.
- 20:29I mean, you know, you don't like 35 points and some of those
- 20:32things. A couple big plays giving made
- 20:35any difference though and help really held them to a pretty
- 20:39respectable number for our defense there and they made
- 20:45stops in. They had to and I think we did
- 20:47enough across the board on defense to get the win.
- 20:51So I like I like what I saw, definitely some areas to clean
- 20:55up, definitely didn't tackle as well as I would have liked.
- 21:01I think we did a A good enough job against them, but there were
- 21:05some missed tackles a couple on like Kiki, third Downs, ended up
- 21:10keeping the the offense on the field and the defense getting a
- 21:13little winded there. But yeah, I like what they did
- 21:16to set the tone of the day and I feel like that was big jumping
- 21:20out to that lead was big for us. Oh, yeah.
- 21:23And when we can play with the lead we're a damn a damn hard to
- 21:28be. Yeah, 100%.
- 21:30You're right when we are It lets hand-mixed the blitzes and it
- 21:35helps them mix the coverages up. You mentioned, two things doing
- 21:40with Tisdale. It lets them do different things
- 21:43with different guys, which really offenses.
- 21:46Can't start keying. They have to start again.
- 21:48They have to start overthinking if they're not overthinking.
- 21:51They're like, we just need to do basic.
- 21:52We need to be basic. Let's see if we can execute the
- 21:54plays, because we don't know what they're doing with certain
- 21:57players with is now that we've won play the 90-yard touchdown
- 22:00run, he lost his Leverage. Judge if he just moved to the
- 22:04side and continues to run but he kind of got there like he wanted
- 22:07to square up and Tackle Hawkins and Hawkins went right over to
- 22:12the sideline. It went up.
- 22:13Yeah you know in that case you've told me before in that
- 22:16case like he's just got to get him to turn him back in.
- 22:20Like screw you want to turn back in early?
- 22:24That's fine, but if you get on the sidelines, people got a lot
- 22:27further to go. Other than that, great
- 22:31everything with piss Dale. Now Brad I'm more like to toot
- 22:36your horn a little bit on the preview.
- 22:39You said, if we force how many turnovers dose will win this
- 22:45game buddy, we got three tomorrow, Connor Taylor and for
- 22:52Halloween especially the Heavenly Devil Himself, gets one
- 22:56on a really funky play that made sense because of his name and an
- 23:00avian Halloween. Those three guys also combine
- 23:05421 tackles today tomorrow a leading.
- 23:07The way I want to hear the entire defense, huge props for
- 23:13keeping a to T at well at Bay. You know, when you let
- 23:16Fitzpatrick, get by on that one and we said they had some good
- 23:20compliments and he got the big one but Brian you take that huge
- 23:26play out of the equation against this team and I people hate me
- 23:31doing it. I've Untold like, why are you
- 23:33doing that much? Because it's reason why I do it,
- 23:36their passport completion goes down from 15 to 12.
- 23:42Because they had no other completion longer than 25 yards.
- 23:44All-night pass per attempt goes from ten to seven point eight.
- 23:48So roughly about three yards for both, right?
- 23:51When you pass over 30 times and you take out the big play and
- 23:57you lose three yards front about how many yards is that, when
- 24:01you're looking at 34 passes, let's see.
- 24:06Make mad method, midnight. Come on, 130, whatever time it
- 24:11is now. What's the math, Man?
- 24:57he probably should have been in kind of a press bail and he
- 25:04ended up pressing and then it almost looked like he Realized
- 25:10at some point that his responsibility was deep and he
- 25:14was chasing on that play. Taylor started kind of at the
- 25:1935-yard a 30 30 yard line and was kind of around the 34 in
- 25:24terms of his his own death there.
- 25:26So unless he was completely playing the wrong coverage, that
- 25:32should have been married the whole way but you know, it's not
- 25:35a whole lot to say is definitely a blown coverage.
- 25:38Some someone played the incorrect responsibility in,
- 25:42whatever that call was and you let good player like Patrick get
- 25:48behind you and all of a sudden it's a good 80, some yard score.
- 25:52So yeah.
- 26:25A damn Dynamic, running back. In a elusive quarterback, at
- 26:29Bay, you know? They they they had, they would
- 26:33have had a good game but not a great game, save for that, that
- 26:36190 yarder there, which really wasn't on the defensive line.
- 26:39At also great game by read. As you said, I mean, he looks
- 26:45like the player we saw against NC State.
- 26:46So I don't know if he's just been a little banged up, or what
- 26:49the last few weeks, but he looked more like the player we
- 26:52saw early in the season. This week.
- 26:56So it was good to see him kind of back in that Groove and barno
- 27:01continues looking more and more like a three down player every
- 27:03week. Yes, he does.
- 27:06And that I you love to see that, I mean, first couple games, I
- 27:11mean, he kind of looked lost when he was in, if they were
- 27:15rushing the ball or if they were using misdirection in the
- 27:19passing game, like he looked, he looked lost if you gave him one
- 27:23read and that's go after Quarterback.
- 27:25He's looked great, but the last by probably two to three games,
- 27:29he's really kind of turned a corner between.
- 27:32I guess the Reps is getting to practice and seeing stuff on on
- 27:34game and everything like that. I mean, he's taking it to the
- 27:38next level. So my hats off to Mari bar know
- 27:41for really coming on and being the player that we ultimately
- 27:45need coming down the stretch here, in the season, as we're
- 27:49kind of going over the hump of the halfway point here in the
- 27:54season. Now, other other guys that had a
- 27:58great game Divine Diablo players ass off, always does making
- 28:04good. Good plays in the running game
- 28:06coming up and filling making tackles where he needed to be in
- 28:10the passing game coming up. Making hits on guys, making
- 28:13tackles when they did complete the ball, entire secondary did a
- 28:17great job of keeping 22 at well in front of them down Ford.
- 28:20Like I said, we had the one where we let Fitzpatrick.
- 28:23Get deep on his butt. 22. That will had a good game and
- 28:27had some opportunistic conversions on third downs, but
- 28:32we didn't let him beat us with one play.
- 28:35Now, we didn't let him beat us with one play, which was big
- 28:39again. Give credit to the backend which
- 28:43Wewe song, we heard something this week and it looks like it's
- 28:48sticking. True.
- 28:48Devon, Taylor is the rotor now and give him a lot of credit
- 28:55coming in potentially being a corner.
- 28:58And now taking over a tardis safety role.
- 29:01Shows his intelligence as a player, which was discussed when
- 29:04he came in, like, this guy's a smart player.
- 29:08And I'm going to say the same thing about a more Barn up,
- 29:10because you made the point Brian that with With bar know what he
- 29:14played, like, nickel and high school and then he played like a
- 29:17backer type position in Juco and now he's being asked to go to
- 29:21defensive end, which you know, I'm going to say something.
- 29:27And I didn't say this, when we were getting this ready, a
- 29:30little while ago, who was the coach that would best help a guy
- 29:36understand how moving position helps because he doesn't want.
- 29:43Probably Justin Hamilton. I mean, think about that, think
- 29:49about having a coach who say, in pay that I know we brought you
- 29:53into the corner, but listen, your coverage skills your body
- 29:56type. We need you to play this
- 29:58boundary safety rotor position, your good tackler, but we're
- 30:02going to war zone Concepts. And today, when he made his
- 30:06interception, he was in the perfect third Zone.
- 30:09When we made that hit, if he's not in his Rike Zone.
- 30:12That's not a pit. Yep, it was easy pick form and
- 30:15he's had two of those now where he's essentially in the right
- 30:18Zone made the right read especially on that jerk of date
- 30:21with a guy broke off and he saw jerk of its throw it.
- 30:24He knew he needed to avoid his own and he went down this one.
- 30:27He's right there. Perfect Zone ball kind of
- 30:30floats. He gets it.
- 30:31Yep. While sometimes, you know, half
- 30:34the battle is being where you need to be to make a play.
- 30:37And we were there many times today, And again I was wrong.
- 30:45I was wrong. I got nervous towards the end
- 30:48there when we were kicking field goals though sitting here.
- 30:52I'm like is it going to be like 40 to 41 42 38 because we kick
- 30:57them damn field goal? Luckily we didn't really we
- 31:01didn't I like I like the closeout Drive.
- 31:03Ultimately, it's still came a little bit closer than we wanted
- 31:06to at the end there with a couple of onside kicks needed to
- 31:10really seal things. Up there.
- 31:12But, you know, ultimately, we made the plays and we need to,
- 31:16we got the late touchdown on that Herbert counter and the
- 31:21defense did everything that they needed to do to kind of close it
- 31:25out. Yeah.
- 31:27Well the defense did but special teams did today as well?
- 31:31Well yeah, real quick, Brian Johnson pains to more through
- 31:36comes over that little hurdle for missing a couple back last
- 31:38weekend. But those onside kicks I'm
- 31:42watching this with my father and all and brother-in-law.
- 31:45That might be three of the most perfect onside kicks.
- 31:49The one they screwed up where they would have got the ball
- 31:52because they waited too long because it couldn't decide if
- 31:54they want to go the other three. I mean that you feel like it's
- 32:01an NFL team sees the way that kid kicked it.
- 32:05They would be like I don't care if he puts do the end zone, can
- 32:07he do that? A few times a year?
- 32:10Yeah, but they got zero because of couple guys.
- 32:17Yeah, so I'm going to Big shout out to Big Stone Gap.
- 32:22He was right, where it needs to be and then was a was a Robinson
- 32:25that was on the grab the last one.
- 32:27Yeah. Hey Robinson, man.
- 32:29Yeah, I mean, yeah, I like the way we've kind of schemed up,
- 32:35those onside kicks because they were showing Essentially a
- 32:39three-way read of, which way they were going to kick it.
- 32:42So we had kind of, the little little mini wall to the right
- 32:47with a with a guy that, you know, is going to be designated
- 32:51to get the ball. And then we have the two guys in
- 32:53the middle. So we were having to play honest
- 32:55all the way across the field on for those on sides and we did a
- 32:59good job of doing that. And you know, I don't know if
- 33:04there wasn't that delay, timeout situation if we would have been
- 33:08Where we need to be on that because it looked like they were
- 33:10they were going full speed and we had guarded kind of already
- 33:13realized the whistle was blown the whistle.
- 33:19He's just kind of stopped. And that's when they got, I just
- 33:22saw the replay of it, and you can even see it because James
- 33:25Mitchell walking by the guy. Like he blew the whistle.
- 33:27What are you doing? Because James didn't really
- 33:31react once the boss told me it was a flag or something.
- 33:38Something that stopped the action there.
- 33:40So absolutely Braun looking around here.
- 33:45Don't look at our picks this week Ike's.
- 33:49I'm 16, you went to and five worst week of the season for
- 33:57both of us season for both of us.
- 34:03You know I got it. I got AA Auburn LSU right
- 34:06though. That's the difference in the
- 34:19Fourth quarter. Hearts out tonight and they lost
- 34:41about 13. It is, is essentially a talent
- 34:44gap between them and then the next probably 7 or 18, would you
- 34:49agree? Or disagree with that?
- 34:50Yeah, yeah. Ended a Clemson.
- 34:56All Trevor Lawrence has covid. I almost took that one off
- 34:59almost said we shouldn't count it.
- 35:00Because if it, if we had heard covid, 23 and a half would have
- 35:03been like, no Boston College. We've seen Boston College, they
- 35:07can hang in this game. There's not there to kind of get
- 35:10up on them early. But this is where you see the
- 35:16differential in the classes. Do you know who was who started
- 35:22the day for Clemson? You know, his rank was last
- 35:25year, what you got? He was number one quarterback in
- 35:29the country as a come down and you sit here and say, why are
- 35:38they so good? Because it's Talent, stack on
- 35:41top of salads, I won't accept the town that kid played an okay
- 35:46game. He had some things that didn't
- 35:48look great, you know, but he showed he could sling it.
- 35:52Yes. And that's why I say there
- 36:20should be a draft. You have to have a revolutionary
- 36:37change in force or you have to recruit well and then a few
- 36:42Diamonds in the Rough after gone.
- 36:44Well, can we talk about Penn State having stacking top 15
- 36:48classes and still losing to IU and barely being competitive
- 36:52against us? State some stuff there.
- 36:56And somebody can say you could say, they have their eyes last
- 37:00week of this week and it's screwed them, screw the pooch,
- 37:03but that's a coaching job. Now, that is a coaching staff
- 37:08that is still preparing their players.
- 37:12Hey, what about the team up in Ann Arbor stacking?
- 37:15Yeah, in classes and legitimately today, there was
- 37:22one guy that Beetle they refuse to.
- 37:25It was the you watch the Ohio State game last year, right?
- 37:31They got torch last year because it wouldn't come out of man or
- 37:34give help over the top to work. This is what I'm doing today.
- 37:38I'm sitting here watching them. Like if you just put a safety
- 37:41over the top, the guy can't go that way.
- 37:43Never put a safety of the top like and again that's that's on
- 37:50the defensive coordinator. That's on the head.
- 37:52Coach to say, listen, you need to do something because they
- 37:55weren't looking the other way. I think that guy's name was
- 37:57Naylor who had like 200 yards, which is insane.
- 38:00Shane. Yeah, there was just saying
- 38:02we're going to Chuck it up this guy.
- 38:03He's been open more than not. and if we lose we win or lose,
- 38:08we at least going with our strength, we're going with that
- 38:11strange because at one point Coming back.
- 38:54Because at least now they can say, okay.
- 39:00I was going to have a better
- 39:17showing and good and then just kind of Let It Go Down by the
- 39:23wayside at the end and you can't let a team with Talent come back
- 39:28when you got your Chance to put your foot on the throat.
- 39:31Absolutely. Last piece will touch nine, hope
- 39:34your lady, but ACC related UVA, pulls the upset against you and
- 39:38see anger level. Now at that game Run Man.
- 39:44Okay. So let's, let's, let's go ahead
- 39:47and we're gonna have a little small vent session here.
- 39:51I hate our losses more than I love our winds right now.
- 39:54It's true because both games could have easily been W is for
- 39:59Us. We could easily be undefeated
- 40:00right now and I know people hate could have would have should
- 40:03has, but yeah, it's out there, it's on the tape.
- 40:08I mean, we were the more talented team against awakened
- 40:10lost and if we made the correct, call at starting quarterback
- 40:15against you and see and clean up a couple things, that's a w.
- 40:20And then You know, with safety is out in that game.
- 40:24That was the wild-card factor there obviously, but you know
- 40:28when we look at everything else, man, I mean, UNC was still
- 40:31winnable. Despite starting the wrong
- 40:33quarterback, despite not having our to start anxieties wake was
- 40:37still winnable. Despite just terrible.
- 40:41Pruned a on offense, combined with the calling of the game.
- 40:46And You know, it's like I said, it's more frustrating than
- 40:50anything and, you know, kudos to UVA for for pulling it out there
- 40:55at the end. I'm actually not that mad about.
- 40:59You've got a winning because UNC losing still keeps us
- 41:03mathematically in the hunt for the ACC Championship game.
- 41:08We still need some help from Notre Dame or Clemson down the
- 41:11road at it as we're going forward.
- 41:14The chances of Notre Dame got a little bit Smaller because it
- 41:19looks like Lawrence is going to be probably out for Notre Dame
- 41:23so we'll see if week 24 that quarterback, they can be more
- 41:26consistent early in the game because that was really the
- 41:29thing that I think her Clemson today was just being
- 41:31inconsistent on offense to start the game.
- 41:35They were getting yards but they weren't getting it getting yards
- 41:39at the clip they are used to. Yeah.
- 41:41And once they kind of settled in, they were able to Just kind
- 41:46of brute force a win and I don't know if they'll be able to do
- 41:50that against Notre Dame. So we'll see that you know, as
- 41:54long as the is Clemson gets a win there.
- 41:56You know, we still have a pretty good chance of potentially
- 42:00running the table and making things interesting there we're
- 42:03going to be Clemson fans next week to get Notre Dame.
- 42:07The one that we're going to come North Carolina fans in about
- 42:11three weeks and they played Notre Dame.
- 42:13Yep. And then if we can continue You
- 42:15to win, we're going to take care of, we're going to wipe out a
- 42:18few other people and then December, you know, let's let's
- 42:23let's get, let's go torch Liberty next week and then let's
- 42:27start that tough stretch down the on the hopes are to play.
- 42:34We saw today, give us that. Okay.
- 42:38So yeah, our anything else that's Come Through the Wire
- 42:41here. I cannot see Twitter at the
- 42:42moment so I'll let you make sure nothing's come down.
- 42:46I haven't seen anything crazy, man.
- 42:49Yeah, I think we are good to go. We got were about 13 minutes
- 42:53away from our clocks. You're rolling back to 1:00 1:00
- 42:59again, so that'll be nice to see.
- 43:04It's awesome, man. I'm smoking them are.
