  Speaker 1: Return to Glory podcast, first recap pod, and a victorious
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Swan Hunter's Arberniki Austin Rose, Dakota Free Tag. The first
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: time since twenty nineteen Nebraska has won it season opener.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Also our first home opener since twenty nineteen, moving us
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: to eighty six, fourteen and three and season openers.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Wow, I was not ready for that that I feel like,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, what is that compared to the national average?
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: I mean it's quite higher, but I can't imagine the
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: national average is much lower.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: No, because usually you start out with team like this
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: right it out with road conference games like you guys
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: I've been doing.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: It was nice to get back to a game like
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: this that went how it should have. We took care
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: of business when we needed to, defense showed up, played
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: well offensively. Things looked a lot better than last year,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: and the Spore took care of itself. Everything I think
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: is pretty positive right now in Nebraska Nation.
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: What do you guys think?
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, it's definitely positive. Everyone's excited about what
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: they saw, especially from the quarterback play. But it's also
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: of those games where you know, it's kind of a
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: lose lose game. Is if you don't win the right way,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: you're sad and if you lose, you're definitely sad. So
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: we won the right way. But it's more of a
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: we're not unhappy. I don't know if like people are
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: like I mean, people are excited. It definitely helped, but
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it's like a holy shit, did
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: you guys see the Huskers this weekend sort of energy.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's I get those teams. You want to
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: come out looking good. I wouldn't say you looked great.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: You looked good and it's your first win. And when
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: you say five years, first first first game win, and yeah,
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: like you said, lose, lose situation. You just want to
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: come out those games, take care of business and go
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: on next week.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: I said it when we did the ranking the most
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: important games. I didn't care really what happened. I think, yeah,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: it's nice to look good in your opener, but this
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: is not a game that I ever thought we were
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: going to lose. Now, I will say the nerves kicked
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: in Friday night Saturday morning, they did, and.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: Luckily I will in the first quarter was.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: The first chord, when they had that forty two second drive,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh no, yeah.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Uh, and then you fumble next drive, You're like, oh,
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: here we go.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: It went like early on it went kind of how
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: I thought it would go. I and then I will say,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: second quarter on, we really kicked hitting gear. I thought
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Scottie Waldron would have some stuff up his sleeves.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: He did.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: He had a lot of movement, a lot of moving guys,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: But that didn't really seem to phase us. Outside of
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: that one drive where they went very very high tempo
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: and then caught a ball over the.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: Top, very well thrown ball.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Weal. Yeah, So we're gonna see a lot more of
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: that next week into the Colorado game, and we'll talk
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: a lot more about that on our preview episode on Wednesday.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: We want to.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Spend the day really recapping the game, our thoughts. In
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: the past, we've given our grades on a different positions.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: That was good.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I didn't mind that, But this this year, we're gonna
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: do a little bit different. We're gonna just talk about
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: big story headlines maybe can be as detailed as we
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: want with them, things that we noticed, things that are
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: worth calling out that.
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: We're good, bad, all of the above. So I'm starting
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Start right off with our offensive line and allowing one
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: sack to UTEP, and then on top of that, how
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: they blocked Westmoreland on the edge. I think that was
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: the one primary area of focus that we talked about
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: that we knew UTEP had a playmaker at the end.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: We did a very very good job of containing him
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: and blocking our assignments where needed. And the offensive line
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: we have, I'm not gonna say we overlooked him, but
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: we have kind of glossed over throughout a lot of
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: the preseas and they did a very fair job. I'm
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: not going to say they blew it out of the waters,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: and I think that's going to be the consensus with
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: a lot of our topics today. But they did a
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: good job of opening up holes and moving their front,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: especially with our running backs.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: So running backs had holes to run through very very frequently.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: So shout out offensive line, great job. We're going to
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: see a lot better athletes next week, that's for sure.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: But we did what we need to do against the
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: UTEP miners.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: Now, did you did? Was any holding penalties?
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: There is a false start. I don't know if we
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: had any holding penalties.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: I know we had we had a couple of false
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: starts that they again can get cleaned up. It needs
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: to get cleaned up.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: You epect that at least one though. It's usually sloppy
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: week one, and it wasn't as bad as it could
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: have been.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: It was.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: It was a good all around performance by the offensive.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Lind Yeah, I think the sloppiness needs to be less.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: I think real Rule seemed happy afterwards. I thought he
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: was pleased, but he definitely noticed and commented on things
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: that still need to be improved on.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: And that's one thing. I mean, unforced penalties, especially like
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: fall starts or.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Bounds.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, little things like that like those need to get
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: cleaned up. Things that you're not really really trying to
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: make a play, they just happened.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: So uh.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: I do think that is one area get to clean
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: up there with the offense.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: But no, I do agree that think Dalfin's line did
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: look very good because I mean that was really the
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: only area of the game that we were you know,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Westmoreland was the guy that we were keeping our eye on,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: and he really wasn't that big of a factor. I
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: was watching it with my in laws and I was like, yeah,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: one of the guys on the D line is really good.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Like is that guy's like, no that guy no like
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: that guy. No, it's not like so like he was.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: He wasn't hardly like even featured on TV. So I
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: mean that's a big sign.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: How long has a bendince you've walked out a game
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: been like, Wow, we might actually have a well coached
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: team here. That was a good coach game.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's been a while in a while
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: that we felt good. I guess a couple other stats
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: that I thought were interesting. That thirty three point win
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: is the largest that we've had since we whooped up
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: on Northwestern in twenty twenty one, largest in an opener
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: since the twenty sixteen Fresno State game that we played,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: so like it was it was a blowout win where
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: everybody got to play and we didn't have to really
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: panic about beating a smaller conference opponent where we definitely
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: have shown the struggle even last year against Louisiana Tech.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: We've we've shown that in the past where we've had
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: to maybe grind out these games more than we'd hope.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: So we did not do that.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: So that, Yeah, I agree, it was well coach, well
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: put together overall, and it's good to good to be
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: one one, no.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: I will say I was gonna say, uh, Scottie. On
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: the other like almost like he was starting to like
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: when he he was obviously trying to manufacture a little
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: energy for his team, and he came out just like
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: his hair on fire. And I was like, all right,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: this guy's getting a little old, like we could probably
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: dial it back a little bit. Like I I was
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: glad we beat him, Like I was like, I'm not
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: rooting against UTEP, dude, you know we paid you to
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: come here. We're supposed to win. But it's like this
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: guy needs to chill out. And then they reminded me
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: that that like that cute too little where they had
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: all the receivers on one little side of the field
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: on the very first offense to play, like, oh my gosh,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: come on, guys, what are we doing.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: He reminded me a lot of PJ Flag on that sideline.
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: Yes, exactly, that's exactly, Like.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: I totally agree. That's what I was thinking too.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've heard that in comparison last week and I
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: heard a more maybe genuine PJ.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: Fleck.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: But then on the sidelines, I agree, like just watching
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: it from the stands and so where my seats are
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: at sidelines flipped.
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: Normally, I have.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: A pretty good view of our sidelines and I can
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: make a lot of comments on it. It's flipped now, so
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: my eyes it's hard to even see where any of
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: our coaches or players are at on our new sideline.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: So I'm watching the UTEB sideline very often. And I
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: will say early on, I was like, oh crap, like
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: they're here with a lot of energy.
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: And I mean it wasn't just Scotty, it was there
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: are coaches.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: They were out on the numbers half the time, and
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, and we just looked dead
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: and I was like, are we going down this road again?
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Like what is going on now? That didn't last very long.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Right before halftime they weren't doing it. And then the
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: second half the game was over and they knew it.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: So it didn't last long. But I don't know whatever
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: you make of it, but they had energy definitely, And
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: I guess if you're a small team, like what else
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: do you do?
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: But it was nice to I guess shut that up.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Yes, I totally understand it from their perspective, but you know,
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: it's like when they scored that quick touchdown and we
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: fumbled it, and they're like going nuts to like, okay, guys,
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: we needed to we need to just knit this one.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: But like, let's let's be done with that.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: I get off that fumbled. Yeah, they were jacked up
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: all the everything were out their run around like they
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: just won the championship. But I know, I kind of
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: I kind of liked that fire he was. It made
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: more fun to watch. All right.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Did you go to the game deck or you you
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: watched it on TV at the tail game?
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: You did? I finished it this morning.
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that thought we were tied a halftime until this morning.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: We didn't have to say that that you knew it
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: was coming up.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: At the end of the first quarter. Tied at the
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: end of the first quarter.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: I think take us where you want to go next.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: Okay, I'll uh kind of a negative point. I guess
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: if you can find any of that game? Are you guys?
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: Are you guys worried about Ryola forcing the ball on
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: somebody's passes?
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: I actually didn't think he forced it. There's like there's
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: a couple of times, I mean, he did force it
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: a couple of times, but there are some times where
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: he was back in the pocket forever and threw it away,
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: So I don't I guess, I don't know. I'm not
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: worried about it, per se.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: I feel like it wasn't if you're a lot, but.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Say, if you're going to force it, you're gonna try it,
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: You're gonna test it out on a lesser team, lower stakes.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: I I like the comment back because I've heard that.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: So it's funny. When the game goes as it's as
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: it should, people are now finding its very detailed, nitpicky things,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: which I don't think there's anything wrong with that. It
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: makes for good conversation, right, And I've heard that too
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: that you know, there were a couple of balls that
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: were forced or thrown it tight windows.
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: A couple of them caught.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: I think that right, Ryola is gonna do that, like
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: even against Colorado next week and moving forward. That was
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: one of my concerns that he might be a little
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: bit over aggressive by fitting balls and windows. But I
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: don't think that against like UTEP. It's hard to tell
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: if that is going to move forward because there wasn't
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: anything to me that stuck out against UTEP that I
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: was like, oh boy, like I wouldn't be throwing that
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: against Colorado.
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't be throwing that against a big ten team.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Utep was what it was, and I thought he did
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: a very very good job of game managing. And while
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: we're on Riola, there's probably a billion things. We could
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: go and have a whole podcast about him, and a
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: whole actual podcast show about Dylan Rayola in itself. He
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: did his part very well, and I was wrong in
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: saying that I thought Husker fans, including us and everybody else,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: was gonna nitpick every little mistake, and no, he did.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Is he gained manage very very well, that's what we
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: wanted for this game, and made throws when he needed
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: to make throws. It just you never felt uncomfortable with
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: him back there, and he does not at all feel
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: like a freshman at all. And that's the most common
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: thing I've heard is we just don't feel like we
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: have a freshman back there. Other fun fact with him,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: He's is a second true freshman quarterback to start an
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: opener since World War Two.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: Name the other for Nebraska, yep, Adrian Martinez.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So it was it was very impressive, very composed.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: That's the word I like to use after watching him.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Everything was handled well. And my maybe my favorite takeaway
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: from Ryola that just shows his character so far from
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: what we've seen is he was the first one off
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: of the bus in the Unity Walk to enter the
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: stadium and he's the first one coming out of the
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: tunnel walk. Not show moote, not reacting, not being an
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: all eyes on me, but just showing that this is
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: my team and I'm gonna lead him in the first
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: game to a win. And I think that speaks a
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: lot more than what people make it out to be.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: So I will say, very very excited to see him continue.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: I think that's not That's probably what everybody's gonna say.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: I don't want to jump on the gun and say
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: he's the best ever. I might joke and call him
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Patty Mahomes every once in a while, but he he
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: just he did a good job.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: It was.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: It was very impressive the way he handled that game
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: and handled his first game as a corn Husker, handled
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: the team, his manner is it is all of that.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: It just it was very well done.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, he looked the part, the whole game, the.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: Whole Speaking of Patting Mahomes, guys get chills on that
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: sidearm throw.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: I mean he wanted to run it. I wanted to
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: tuck and run it, and then he yeah, he's slung
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: it with his arm.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Is that's the stuff that is going to get so
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: much attention. I'm not saying it shouldn't, but that really
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: isn't that important. I mean, its an impressive throw, right,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: but it's not in the grand scheme of things. It
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: is what it is, you know, make the thrower of
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: me to make it. But like that's the stuff that
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: people are gonna watch, and he cannot get caught up
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: in all of that stuff in the hype in the media,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: and he hasn't shown any signs of doing that.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: But at this point, I mean, he's you know, you're
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: one year in. You're not one ye're in. But he's
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: been at a high level as far as hype since
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: he's been a freshman in high school. So you think
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: at this point you kind of has it figured out
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: a little bit.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe that is. That's that's what's happening. On the
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: flip side.
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: Maybe he is.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, as I guess, college hype has been told
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: by you know, family coaches, whoever that may be.
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: You know, you got to you gotta earn your.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Right too, say be cocky, but like, keep keep ahead
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: under you and work hard and get better, and then
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: you can earn the right to do somethingff. I mean,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: I think of Steph Curry a lot with all of
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: this and some of his celebrations, and I was always
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: a little bit lebron same way in the NBA, like
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: a little bit like I just quit doing that crap.
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: But then to me, once you kind of earn your title, there.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: Comes a point where you're like, all right, whatever, do it.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Yes, But obviously Ryol is nowhere close to that, and
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: he will not be there after a year one unless
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: we go twelve to zero and he wins the Heisman,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: then maybe, but like he was not going to be there,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: and I think he understands that.
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: There's no way to tell yet. But as far as
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: a game won in the maturity from a freshman quarterback
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: of what you wanted, it was there.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, as I don't think anyone was upset with Roola yesterday.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: I can't imagine any of the states like, ah.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: You can you can tell he really loves the deep
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: all though, oh yeah, he.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Does love And I mean the thing I want to
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: talk about I think a good segue, Dak. It's so
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: nice when you have a freshman quarterback, when you have
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: just athletes. Nyor and Banks look like the real deal
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: on the outside. I mean, like they are so big
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: and fast like our wide receiving car. It felt pretty
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: good yesterday.
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: It did.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: I mean the catch in the corner of the end
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: zone before halftime. I mean they are balancing himself on
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: that long throw earlier in the second quarter, Like we
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: haven't had those guys.
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: We didn't have him last year. And if we've had
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: them in the past, you.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Haven't had the quarterback to go with them. Get used
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: them line that had time to get them downfield.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Yes, and one one post game take that I heard
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: that I really liked. I can't remember if it was
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: from Simple or Shaun Callahan, but they said, we're not
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: we don't look likeel Ohio State, like your Michigan's, like
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: your Penn States yet, but we're moving in the right direction,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: like we start to see some of the bodies. I mean,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: we can we'll get to the defense too. But like
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: these two receivers are six foot four and six foot
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: three and build like Division one Power five receivers. No
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: offense to Alex Bullock. But that's what we were dealing
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: with last year, so we are starting to look the part.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Dylan Rohulla looks like a Division one quarterback. Our running
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: backs are starting to build their They don't look like
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Emma Johnson doesn't look strong anymore. Ramier doesn't look scrawny.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: They look like solid power five running back. So we're
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: starting to Thomas Fdoni.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: We look.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: We'll get to him, but he's he is a He
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: is a professional, built looking tight end. So we're starting
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: to look the part. Now, the play and the performance
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: has to follow. But I think from an athlete standpoint,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: like you said, Austin, our receivers, that was a question mark.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: And yes it's still UTEP. We'll keep saying that over
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: and over. It's still just UTEP. But they looked better
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: than UTEP's secondary.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: Yes, they looked way better than UTEP secondary.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: And Nayor looks like a he looks like a pro
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: wide receiver. He's built like one.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: He looks really good. He looked really good, and it's
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: nice having a guy that can throw it downfield in
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: an offensive line that could keep him open and keep
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: the back hill open long enough for them to throw
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: it down there for them to try and catch it. Yeah,
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: and they weren't always, but like who is it was
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: a neighbor that missed that first deep ball and I
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: hit him right on the hands.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like even the missus, it's like, okay, like it's there,
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: it's not. This isn't gonna be. This isn't gonna be
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: the last year's receiving corp. I felt good, yes.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: And we can jump talking about Fiddoni and the tight
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: end that was I would call a negative. But one
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: thing that I wish we could have saw more of,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: and I thought we were gonna see more of. I
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: took a bet on Fidoni's score touchdown, took us overs
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: and receiving yards. Obviously Post didn't hit. It just didn't
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: seem like we could ever get him going. I'm not
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: gonna say it's concerning, but I do think it's gonna
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: need to get utilized moving forward.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: It's good to show what we also have at receiver
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: so that we're not over reliant on the tight end
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: like you know your Iowas in Wisconsin's have been of
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: the past. But I think that for us to have
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: a really solid above average offense. Moving forward, we're gonna
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: need to get the Titans involved more, and I think
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: there's potential there.
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: Like I don't.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: I'm not writing off Fidoni and Borkorshire after week one
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: because they didn't really get involved, but I wanted to see.
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: More of that.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: Carter Nelson was involved.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Hey, it made that one guy miss after after Oh boy,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: you can tell he's going to be fun to watch
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: in the future.
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: Already is.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: But yeah, no, I agree. I don't know if that's
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: more of a product of, Hey, we want to test
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: out these new wrinkles in our offense. We know what
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: we have from last year with Padoni and he's kind
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: of you know, he's had injury history, so we don't
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: want to get him hurt early in the year. Or
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: if it was just Fidoni had a better I don't
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: know relationship with Harvard last year and he doesn't have
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: that same relationship. Thriller, but I would expect this to
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: see Fidoni more. I mean, Rule loves that guy.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you they didn't really use him that much in
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: the passing game yesterday, but you'd think down the road
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: they'll run him out there more. With how big and
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: fast he looks doubles, slip screens to the tight end
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: a lot more. The next couple of games, he'll.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: Be further downfield. He like mckets he had, he was
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: not downfield at all. You know, it was two yards.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: Last year. I felt like he was constantly downfield. I
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: don't know if that was just because we didn't have receivers.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: So we're like, are gonna run this guy out across
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: the middle for fifteen twenty yards?
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: But he's the one you could draws last year.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, It just it's funny you're reading some of
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: the stats that from this game and then like, for example,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Mayer had a one hundred and seven yards five pass
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: one hundred and seven yards. That's our first one hundred
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: yard receiver since Trey Palmer's day at Iowa and twenty
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: twenty two. So we had no one hundred oard receivers
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: last year, which put reading off the stats last year.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: I don't think we had over two hundred passing yards
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: in the game last year.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: That's another one total since Purdue in twenty twenty two.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Our season high last year was one hundred and ninety
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: nine yards against Michigan.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I also saw up our punt return yards. We
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: had twenty five punt return yards and last year we
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: had seventy five total for the whole season.
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: So I mean, let's segue into that talk about special
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: teams here a little bit from from a returning standpoint.
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, like DA's boy, I GC.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: He wanted to return the ball, and he tried and
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: he did, which which I thought was echoing what Rule said.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: I think he's a veteran guy that we trust to
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: one catch the ball and then to try to make
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: a play with it. I will say this. We got
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: a glimpse of Jacry Barney a couple of times early on.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: I was like, WHOA like this dude. He is fast
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: and he is shifty. I think we'll see him back
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: there potentially, I mean, barring maybe injuries or I mean
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: just in the future. He's he's built to be a
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: returner guy. It reminds me a lot of just looking
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: at him, and this is probably a ceiling for him.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: But like a Darren Sproles type of player, like I
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: just I see I see a little bit of that
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: in him as a returner. So uh, anyway, shout out there,
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: but we're got returning the ball is good.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: I thought, Yeah, I think it's nice. I think I
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: c is, this is the only time he's gonna be
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: on the field, so I think he knows that he's
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: not really gonna be involved that much in the passing game,
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: so he's gonna take us opportunities. And I'm glad rules
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: letting him do it, because there are some coaches who
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: are like, hey, we just don't want the risk, and.
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: Who wants to play football? That's what he said. We will.
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: We're gonna play football again.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: We're against UTEP, so again, risks are relatively low, but
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: it's good to see.
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, he loves he loved the kick return your
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: ards he lost you should Yeah, the third facet, I mean,
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: you have you have no chance of returning a kick
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: if you fair catch you every time we kneel.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: It exactly.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Bus special teams field goals. Yeah, there we go. That
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: I just wrote. I wrote kicking question mark like.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: We didn't have to.
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: We didn't have to.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: Kicked it out of bounce on a kickoff.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Not great, that was an ideal, but I mean we
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: made the the basically an extra point field goal in
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, which was good. We still don't know
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: what to expect. That wasn't a game to really measure.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: We made our extra points. Good job, that was good.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: We haven't and that in the past always they didn't
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: get blocked. That's also good.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: The punting was acceptable, nothing really punned like for basically
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: one hundred yards.
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: One was pretty good. I thought, I remember the first one.
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: I believe it was a pretty was pretty good.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Overall, again, it's not a whole lot to talk about
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: there because there wasn't much special teams wise, which usually
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: is a good thing.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Wasn't bad.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we forgot one like, very big position on offense
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: and storyline, So I want to go back to offense
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: before moving on the defense.
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: We played all four of them, guys, we did, and
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: at all.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: Who were surprised that doubt up. No, it wasn't down
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: Ramire Johnson took the first snap.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: No, that was part of our tailgate pod, and I
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: think Kendall hit that on the head. I think Kendall
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: said Ramire, I guess, you guess, Gabe, I guess, and.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: That not down Dale the other one.
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, here's maybe the best thing that I think happened.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: But it also makes it for interesting an interesting topic
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: moving forward. Daldell fumble us gets benched as we thought,
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: we thought that would happen. And that's that's where the
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: interesting topic comes in. Is I am very very very
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: very happy and glad and I'm that that happened. Like
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: I'm glad. It's a statement because again, with these four
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: running backs that are supposedly all very very similar, we
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: can't be putting it on the on the turf, especially
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: when we're inside our ten yard line. That can't happen.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Now against UTEP, you get away with it. It overshadows.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: We get a safety actually out of it. But I
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: agree Dowdell, I thought out of the four probably looked
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: the best.
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: Now that's not like they didn't all get a bunch
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: of carries.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: But he averaged seven yards to carry with as long
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: as being a twelve yarder, So I mean it was
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: it wasn't like he had one big yard that one
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: big carry that bumped it up to seven. It was like, oh,
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: this dude's like turn it up chunks.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: They thought like a cannon out of there too when
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: he gets the ball.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: And I'll say, this is my thought, that's as good
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: as that is.
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: You have to not fumble the ball oh, I agree,
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: and that's why I'm glad that we stuck with it.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: I think I heard someone say should Nowdelle should get
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: the first carry next week.
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: I because he looked the best. I don't.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: I don't think so, like we have to. That has
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: to be stressed, that has to be enforced, no matter
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: how good you're doing. And and I think that's more
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: important than having a couple of explosive runs that you know,
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: turned two into four. Because I think these other guys
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: can do it too. I thought Emma Johnson, I thought
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: he looked really, really good. I thought he is the
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: one that had the longer breakaway run. Ramier had some
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: solid r on scaate Urban got in for a couple
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: of touchdowns.
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: So like.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Everybody performed well, I would say from a running back standpoint,
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: I think it's discontinue to evaluate and Colorado, we're going
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: to see the guys that don't fumble with I think
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: we want to see Daldll to some extent, but don't
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: do it.
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: Don't.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: I think that that that's a little frustrated. He can't
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: do it, cannot fumble the ball. And I'm glad that
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: it was handled the way it did. I think that
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: was very well done by the coaching staff. No matter
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: how well he was looking, it can't be at a
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: sacrifice for footing the ball in the turf.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: I will say it helps when so, I mean, if
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: you take out Evan Johnson's forty two yard run, the
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: other three average like four and a half yards of carry.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: So it's not like I obviously Dwadell at seven yards
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: to carry, but it wasn't like if you take him out,
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: you're going to be switching for like a three yard
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: carry kind of guy. It's like, all right, I got
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: four dudes who can put five yards per carry out there.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: But he did look by part of the best. But
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: I was like, this dude's not coming back out like yeah,
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: you can't in the five yard line after rules been
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: like give you a fumble. If you don't take care
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: of the ball, you're not playing things like this. Dude's done.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: I've always spent almost all of our time on the offense,
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: which I think is fine. That's where our points were.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Our defense held. You tip the seven points the they
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: only had a two hundred and five yards that's our
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: eighth consecutive opponent to gain less than four hundred yards.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: The last time we've done that was guess when with
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: DOMINICANSU and that defense. So defense played well. They they
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: played better and held UTEP. It's a lot less than
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: I thought was gonna happen. I thought that UTIP would
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: have a couple of breakaway plays.
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: They had one.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: I thought they maybe would get loose on a couple
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: of runs. But our defense did a very very fine
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: job against a team that they did what they need
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: they should have done. So shout out there, I thought,
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: I mean from a position. We got two interceptions, so
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: we did force a couple of turnovers.
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: I will say it is what it is. I guess,
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: like one pass.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Was thrown right right to Buford but with a heart
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: Zoga got it, which was heart Zaga got it. So
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: I was like, it is but but it is what
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: it is and then shout out to the dance after
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: the interception. I don't know if that was on TV
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: or not, but the whole sideline went nuts after we
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: got those interceptions, and I think that's me. I think
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: it's great to celebrate something when things are going well.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: You don't do that ship when you're down, though, like
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: or if you're Yeah, I think that. I think that
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: stuff's okay if you have a focus and an emphasis
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: on something like that, and it needs celebrated because we've
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: been so bad at it, and we have it's been horrible.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: So let's let's do Let's continue.
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: To force turnovers. Won the turnover battle.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: I think that's a big focus, and Mike Rules said it.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: I think in its post game winning each game by
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: We're not gonna go plus six in one game. Let's
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: win each game by plus one or plus two. That's
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: how we're going to get to our total at the
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: end of the year. So that's what I had on
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: our defense. Again, very good job, did what they should do,
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: and it was good to see us to hold the
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: team to under ten points again minimally yardage, not many sacks,
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: but I'm not looking too much into that after one game.
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: How about that? How about that? Do what you got
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: in D line jacks? You guys up nasty Todd m.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: Hm, Yes, they're pretty good. I was, honestly, I'm of
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: surprise that Utech wasn't able to have more success on
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: offense after that one quick drive. I was like, if
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: they're going to be this game, I could see this
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: being in like an actual like issue, because I mean
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: that drive was like boom boom boom, boom boom, but
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: then they were never to weren't able to really do
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: that again, which I don't know if that's because we
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: adjusted and we're like, oh, hey, they're going to play
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: this fast, We're going to play this fast, or if
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: it was just they kind of got lucky on a
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: couple of plays and it worked out. But defense looked
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: really good that I was surprised. There's, like, there are
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: names I didn't expect to be, you know, heard as much,
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: like you didn't really hear much from Gifford or like
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: Shaun Singleton, like Gayboar was our leading tackler type of
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: leading tackle, and like Vincent Shavers was up there too,
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: like names. I did not anticipate sceneing up there with
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: that much snaps.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and this was my last point here. A lot
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: of guys played. Yeah, and I'm saying this from a
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: selfish standpoint.
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: We pulled our guys too early because I wanted to
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: get the overs.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: I think we pulled I think I think I all
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: had one drive in the second half before Harvard came
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: in at quarterback and we sun O Kaylin.
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: I got in.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: I completely I'm not upset, I am because I lost
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: money on it, But I completely understand pulling that the
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: game was over like UTEP was just after all their energy.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: It was like they had a shot of five hour
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: energy at the beginning of the game and then just
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: hit a wall.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: And their offense was not on the field long enough
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: and their defense was just just hammered. I mean there
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: was literally a ten minute drive at one point in
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: the game.
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: Like it the game was over.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: So again, from subbing standpoint, why not get these other
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: guys to play.
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: They deserve to play.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: Parents are probably there.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: Get some experience with them too, like see see what
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: the field's all about, because we know at certain positions
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: we're not super deep. So yeah, guy like Vincent Shaver's
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: like that's those are really good minutes for him to
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: get in and.
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: Lead that defense.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: And so I was they get happy that that we
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: did what we did. We don't We didn't need Ryola
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: to go in and throw for another one hundred and
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: fifty yards just to run the stats up. Like that's
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: not what I don't think this team emphasizes and should
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: be emphasizing. I think with a different coaching staff and
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: a different philosophy that maybe would have been something that
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: would have happened was, hey, let's rack the stats up
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: and let's win this game sixty five to seven.
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: That's not what these guys.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: Believe in and that that to me is a very
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: very good sign, like that shows we know what's important,
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: we know this game of what it is and took
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: care of business. Also utep, I didn't realize this until
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: I heard it at the game. We went to a
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: satellite camp with them this year with their coach coaching staff,
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: so like a lot of mutual respect from both staffs,
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: both players, so there wasn't any extracurricular pushing and shoving either.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: Like it was just a very clean finish to the game.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: Even though the enders came in for the total points.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: Yep, we all thought we were gonna were None of
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: us took we're gonna take the spread, I believe, and
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: all of us were gonna take the overs, and neither
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: one of those hit.
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: Well that if you cap side the ball. Though, at
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: least they come out of this game. They figured out
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: one thing. Their QUB battle is definitely over. Yeah, that
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: guy why they pulled them five or five looking good
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: I have no idea is backups looked terrible so that
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: there could be battles over.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: I didn't can he threw one interception like all right,
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: this QB battle, just heat it up and the okay,
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: maybe Skyler locklayers.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: So yeah, we knew we were going to see both
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: so and we did. I would definitely.
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: The field the rest of the year.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: Yes, one last thing before we go. Here we go,
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: share the screens. Everybody can see the recap. There we are.
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: Oh my god.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: Wow. Week one picks for DAK started off with a
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: push on Thursday.
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: I thought, you've got about this.
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: Okay, finished four seven and one.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: You did hit your lock so great job there, eight
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: and seven to one on the year. And then here
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: we are all we all survived the good job. We
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: are onto week or two, Dak. Any last minute comments
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: on your.
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: Picks about that log? I know, I know an't saying
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: now because I want that. That was when the logs
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: I actually is probably most confident. And I've been in
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: a while. Florida is awful and I and I think
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: Miami is actually pretty good. But Florida sucks. Bill the
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: neighbors getta be gone. So I was really confident in
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: that lock. Other than that I lost. I lost Nebraska.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: What what?
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: What did I get that at on there? I lost
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: that spread by like a half point and a half.
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: Michigan lost by half point.
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: Talk us off this pod.
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: That, hey, well, well I covered that Actron game.
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: I don't think so.
