  Speaker 1: What a statement game for Texas.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Huge statement game.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: What an unbelievable opportunity to fold the tank, to not
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: be big time, to not come up big. But you
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: know what? There's two things that I really, really loved
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: about this game. Texas didn't blink. They got down 20.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: They stayed this course. They kept going. And I loved angry, cantankerous,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: frustrated Sark. I love that.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: You like to run off.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Bro, Sark bothers me a little bit. Listen, it's just personality.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: He's a great coach. He's so California and so cool.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: I love ticked off angry Sark. And I think Texas
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: fed off of it. And Texas came out and made plays.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: You got to show me now. Teach me something. Let's go.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Let me teach you something right here, big dog. Hold on.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: Let me get my magic pen now because we invested
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: inside of the magic pen. Magic pen is right here.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: All right, look. The difference in this game. was the
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: line of scrimmage. Tale of two halves. First half, Texas
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: did not capitalize on the opportunities. Second half, they was like,
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: you know what? We don't have anything to lose. We
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: got to control the line of scrimmage. And how did
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: they do that? Two names, Hollywood Smothers and also Raleigh Brown.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: Let me show you the tape right here.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Boom.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Right here. Okay, hold on. We got the play.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Look at the offensive line up front.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Running over people, bumbling and stumbling. This is so good.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: They're running back another couple yards down the field.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: It's so good.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: I'm going to slow it down for you right here.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Look at this.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: These guys right here. This is what it's all about. X, X, X, X, X, X.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: What exactly is that? It's a hat on a hat.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: Football terms for all of the people out there because
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: I know you can get it. When you got a
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: hat on a hat, this allows the running back to
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: be able to get north-south, get positive yards.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: And look at that. Breaking tackles.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: And as an offensive lineman, and just as a team,
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: if you're sitting down on the sideline, you love that.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: You love that. It energizes you. Let me take you
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: to another play.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: We talked about Hollywood Smothers. My MVP of the game,
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Relique Brown. I had a chance to see this young
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: man play at Arizona State last year.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: They run a counter play. Oh, this is so good.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: Let me take it back for the people who was
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: nodding on me, like you in church.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Right here.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Here we go again. Okay, let's get the pin. The
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: magic pin is out. Hat for a hat. Right here.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: When you got a hat for a hat with Relique Brown,
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: what makes him so special as a running back DP,
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: he does a good job of getting north-south, but just
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: anticipating where the holes will be.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Hat for a hat.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Also nice to be that short and hide behind the
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: line because he is tiny, but he's swole.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: They got him listed at 5'9. I don't know if
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: he really is that, though.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: In heels, he is.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: In heels, right? Let's go. Here he goes again.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: They got him in the shotgun. This is one of
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: my favorite plays and all of this happened inside of
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: the fourth quarter.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Oh, really? Don't do him like that. Let me show
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: you this. All right.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Calls for the motion down. We got this is the seventh.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: This is the seventh man right here. He's the seventh
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: man in the box. You got a hat for a
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: hat on all of these guys in here. That means.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: Relief you have to make this guy miss. This is
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: the person who I want you to see as we
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: start to take back.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Can you make it miss?
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Yes, you can and what happens when you make the
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: one guy miss you get 12 yards after the first
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: initial part of the contact. So When I talk about
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Relique Brown and the running game of Texas, they did
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: a wonderful job of understanding the assignment. But more than anything,
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: they knew they needed to continue to keep the clock running,
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: convert on third downs. And they did that by getting
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: a lot on first and second downs, not getting into.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: The third down opportunity. Now, I know you saw a
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: lot of things.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: I need to see what you saw, big dog.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: First of all, I like that you gave credit to
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: everybody else. That's good. Because if we're being honest, there's
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: a couple things that happened. When Texas got down... They
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: just had to go no huddle. Yep. Texas needs to
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: consider going no huddle the rest of the season. Really?
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: They need to consider that.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Arch was better. He was better.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Arch processed better. Defenses get a lot more vanilla. It
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: becomes easier to read. But here's the thing. The running
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: game helped get them there 100%. But Arch made a
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: couple of plays that you just got to tip the
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: cap and say, that's a heck of a play. You're
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: down 20. You're down 20. You're not even at midfield, man. Like,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: you're down 20 points. Gotta have it. Ball game's over.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: The ball game's over if you miss this. And this
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: is what Arch was able to do, man. Scramble, run
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: to his right, throw across his body, find the tight end.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: He gets upfield and gets the first down. Ball game's over. Again,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: we can show you these plays after play where ball
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: game's over.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Another one.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Another fourth and six. This is a fourth and six.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: This is ball game over. Down by two scores. Got
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: to have it to cut it to six. Laser beam.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Right over the middle of the field. Arch got down,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: and then I think he was like, okay, I got
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: to let it rip. I got to let it go.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: If Arch will do that and he'll just play and
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: let it rip and not worry about consequences, he's a
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: better player. When he sits in there and he pats
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: too much and he doesn't want to make a mistake,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: so making it simple, getting the running game going, letting
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: him run, and then get him on the perimeter, roll
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: him out, make life easier for him. But Arch showed
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: you some plays, and he said it in the press
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: conference best at the end. He was like, hey, man.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: I was not ready to come in here and address
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: y'all and say Texas ain't good again. That's what he
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: said in the press conference.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: He said he had nightmares.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: He had nightmares. I like that.
