- 1:48Speaker 2: is I have had trouble trying to like get what
- 1:52Speaker 2: day is, what this week straightened? Because things are things
- 1:56Speaker 2: are just tossed back and forth. You you trying to
- 1:58Speaker 2: change up and put us on and then not talking
- 2:01Speaker 2: to me for two days and you know, doing cool stuff.
- 2:05Speaker 2: So yeah, man, I'm just I'm pretty excited. This is
- 2:09Speaker 2: Tomorrow's gonna be rough. I'm gonna be pretty stacked up
- 2:12Speaker 2: for work wise, and trying my damnest to pay attention.
- 2:17Speaker 1: So yeah, no, yeah, my bad had to switch things
- 2:21Speaker 1: up today. I've been traveling. I'm just now, as y'all
- 2:25Speaker 1: can see, I'm in my home so I get this environment.
- 2:30Speaker 1: After the Tennessee game, I will also be doing that
- 2:33Speaker 1: one remotely. I'll be I have a flight on Sunday,
- 2:37Speaker 1: so I'll be leaving Sunday and I'll be gone for
- 2:39Speaker 1: another week and doing everything remote once again. But it'll
- 2:43Speaker 1: be all right. We're gonna make sure all the all
- 2:47Speaker 1: the goods still come to you all. Me and Cooper
- 2:49Speaker 1: breakdown how that game finishes. We'll talk about how, you know,
- 2:53Speaker 1: going into the next week, which would be the traveling
- 2:57Speaker 1: to Auburn, we'll be to talk about that and all that. So, yeah,
- 3:03Speaker 1: I'm not How are you feeling about this game coming up? Cool?
- 3:09Speaker 1: We've got the injury reports that's come down, which I
- 3:11Speaker 1: think is cool. We've got the SEC mandated weekly injury
- 3:20Speaker 1: reports that has to come down. That gets your boy excited.
- 3:25Speaker 1: Let's talk about how are you feeling going into this game?
- 3:28Speaker 1: Will break down like actual how we think we're going
- 3:31Speaker 1: to perform later, but how did you? How do you
- 3:33Speaker 1: feel about it?
- 3:36Speaker 2: So, I mean, I guess that if you told me
- 3:38Speaker 2: at the beginning of season, hey listen, you're you're gonna
- 3:42Speaker 2: make it Tennessee three and oh you're going to start
- 3:44Speaker 2: about seven different offensive line you know, uh setups. The
- 3:51Speaker 2: most points on defense you will have given up is
- 3:54Speaker 2: twelve and then and yes I know that, Uh, you
- 3:59Speaker 2: know they've got to pick so that doesn't really you know,
- 4:01Speaker 2: defense gets the stats, but I mean the defense really
- 4:04Speaker 2: didn't give that up. So man, you know, you would
- 4:09Speaker 2: also lose your top four receivers coming in, and you're
- 4:15Speaker 2: gonna have a bunch of guys just running in circles.
- 4:19Speaker 2: So I mean, I guess that with if you would
- 4:21Speaker 2: have told me that and then for Tennancy, you're getting
- 4:24Speaker 2: guys back, you're getting healthier, I think I would have
- 4:28Speaker 2: taken that. But I think the fact is, Jay, that
- 4:30Speaker 2: you know, we we we were thinking about just making
- 4:33Speaker 2: sure you take care of business early, you know, get
- 4:37Speaker 2: younger guys in, get them some playing time. But the
- 4:40Speaker 2: good thing is we've been getting a lot of the
- 4:41Speaker 2: good guys, younger guys in getting playing time, you know,
- 4:44Speaker 2: because of different reasons.
- 4:46Speaker 1: So unfortunate.
- 4:48Speaker 2: Everybody get ready with number one, because that helps you
- 4:52Speaker 2: build more competitive depth when these guys are playing early
- 4:56Speaker 2: in the games and not waiting for blowout time, you know,
- 5:00Speaker 2: and all that stuff. So I'm pretty excited right now. Jay.
- 5:03Speaker 2: It's I went from like I think that we can
- 5:06Speaker 2: keep this close to you know, seeing the first injury
- 5:09Speaker 2: report and hears some of the first whispers, to where
- 5:11Speaker 2: I'm like, Okay, you know, maybe we can give them
- 5:14Speaker 2: a game to you know, doing more you know, film study.
- 5:19Speaker 2: But now I mean, now, now I'm excited about this
- 5:22Speaker 2: game because I think that I'm going to call out
- 5:24Speaker 2: the fans right now, and I'm knowing that I'm going
- 5:26Speaker 2: long winded here, but we can affect this game in
- 5:30Speaker 2: the stadium this week. And if you are going to
- 5:33Speaker 2: the game, you knew somebody going to the game, I
- 5:35Speaker 2: tweeted out earlier, you better need a dad gumrical a
- 5:38Speaker 2: cough drop after the game, because I hope on Sunday
- 5:42Speaker 2: it is going to be harder than hell to understand
- 5:44Speaker 2: what I'm saying. So cheers from the earlier CD comment.
- 5:49Speaker 1: Yeah, that's exactly the thing I wanted to make su
- 5:51Speaker 1: everybody knows is please any fan that's going to be
- 5:56Speaker 1: at the stadium, go ahead, show how sec rate that
- 6:00Speaker 1: we can be. We need to have a quote unquote
- 6:03Speaker 1: twelfth Man feeling they're not more so not like A
- 6:08Speaker 1: and M as their namesake, but more so we need
- 6:11Speaker 1: fans to just be loud all the time. Right. The
- 6:14Speaker 1: beauty of it is is at night, the weather's gonna
- 6:16Speaker 1: be nice, will be we'll we'll we'll it'll, it'll be
- 6:23Speaker 1: comfortable and especially at that point of kickoff, the sun
- 6:28Speaker 1: should be going down nicely, so you should be in
- 6:31Speaker 1: the eighties and show. Yeah, no reason to leave early
- 6:35Speaker 1: because it ain't gonna be the sun beaming on you
- 6:36Speaker 1: at the beginning of the day that I think. That's honestly,
- 6:39Speaker 1: that's always been the big problem with even just talking
- 6:42Speaker 1: about the fans here in the Big twelve plays, because
- 6:46Speaker 1: we always played those aleumno'clock games, and man may be cooking, cooking, cooking, right,
- 6:54Speaker 1: So instead of everybody frying while they're trying to the game,
- 7:01Speaker 1: we get to get some of these later games. It's
- 7:02Speaker 1: gonna be a big time plus. So but thank y'all
- 7:05Speaker 1: for pulling up per the norm. Me personally, be honest,
- 7:10Speaker 1: I'm a lot calmer on this because I'm looking at
- 7:13Speaker 1: I'm looking at this on the gambling side. Let me
- 7:17Speaker 1: preface what I mean. So, when we did the Bleach
- 7:21Speaker 1: Report show, speaking of which we'll be live on Friday,
- 7:24Speaker 1: me and the crew from the SEC Connect. We'll be
- 7:27Speaker 1: over there on Bleach Report eleven o'clock Central, twelve Eastern
- 7:32Speaker 1: on the Bleach Report app. We'll be doing our prediction show.
- 7:35Speaker 1: We do it every Friday. Now. They asked us to
- 7:37Speaker 1: come through and did every Friday for this season, so
- 7:39Speaker 1: we'll be this Friday next Friday throughout. And one of
- 7:45Speaker 1: the games that I focused on Coop was that Notre
- 7:48Speaker 1: Dame Perdue game. Right, Notre Dame just had that ugly
- 7:51Speaker 1: loss at the Crib to Northern Illinois and they travel
- 7:56Speaker 1: on the road to Purdue and they're like nine and
- 7:58Speaker 1: a half point favorites. I'm looking at that and like,
- 8:01Speaker 1: wait a minute. They just took a massive l on
- 8:04Speaker 1: national television, right, it was at a nice spot on NBC,
- 8:09Speaker 1: because you know that's their TV contract. And I'm just like,
- 8:13Speaker 1: yet that that's a concern to me that they're getting
- 8:18Speaker 1: nine points on the road against Purdue, regards how good
- 8:21Speaker 1: Purdue is. They just lost North illinoying the way they
- 8:23Speaker 1: shouldn't have. That means Notre Dame's gonna blow them out.
- 8:28Speaker 1: Notre Dame had them like forty two nothing and a
- 8:30Speaker 1: half something like that, Like it was a stupid number, right,
- 8:32Speaker 1: And when I was talking to Ta Hages over there
- 8:34Speaker 1: and around the table, he's laughing. He's like, dude, He's like,
- 8:38Speaker 1: hey man, how did you catch that. I'm like, I
- 8:41Speaker 1: keep an eye on traffic and how people spend on
- 8:46Speaker 1: the gamblings. Right now, let me preface that from there.
- 8:50Speaker 1: I'm not saying that we are going to blow out
- 8:54Speaker 1: Tennessee in this game. But the spread is sitting there
- 8:58Speaker 1: right now at seven and a half, and it's been
- 9:00Speaker 1: luctuating between six and seven and a half. I've seen
- 9:02Speaker 1: it six and a half in some spots. I've seen
- 9:04Speaker 1: it at six, I've seen it at seven. I've seen
- 9:06Speaker 1: it seven and a half. And I'm going to tell
- 9:08Speaker 1: you all right now, roughly eighty eighty to ninety percent
- 9:13Speaker 1: of the money and the tickets all on Tennessee.
- 9:17Speaker 2: Ninety two percent. I just checked a few minutes ago.
- 9:20Speaker 1: See, depending on who you're looking at, well, who's side. Yes,
- 9:23Speaker 1: basically everybody's betting that Tennessee is gonna fly over that number.
- 9:28Speaker 1: But this is the thing, this is the kicker. When
- 9:32Speaker 1: the spread doesn't move because of that type of traffic,
- 9:37Speaker 1: Vegas is trying to tell you something. And I say
- 9:39Speaker 1: that because Vegas's goal is to make money, and so
- 9:44Speaker 1: when they start moving the line is to manipulate people
- 9:48Speaker 1: to bet on one side or the other. Well, Coop,
- 9:54Speaker 1: when I see it that the line ain't moving, it
- 9:57Speaker 1: tells me one thing, and one thing only Vegas wants
- 10:00Speaker 1: more people on Tennessee, and they're very happy with them
- 10:03Speaker 1: being on Tennessee. So for me, that tells me is
- 10:09Speaker 1: that I think Oklahoma has a very good chance of
- 10:10Speaker 1: at least covering the Spring. Now, I don't believe that
- 10:16Speaker 1: we win or lose yet, I'm still in the air.
- 10:19Speaker 1: The biggest thing for me is and as as the
- 10:21Speaker 1: Homie Truth points out, is all about the offensive line
- 10:25Speaker 1: right now with the shuffleing we've had to do. But
- 10:28Speaker 1: the injury report came down and Steven things pointed out
- 10:31Speaker 1: in the in the in the chat, in the discord.
- 10:35Speaker 1: I've already seen it. I was looking at it earlier
- 10:38Speaker 1: today and it hadn't changed from the day before. But
- 10:42Speaker 1: what we do know is that there's a very good
- 10:46Speaker 1: chance that the people we need to play gonna play right.
- 10:55Speaker 1: I'm hearing that there's a good chance we'll get some Everett,
- 10:58Speaker 1: We'll get some Let met me pull this bad boy up. Foe.
- 11:02Speaker 1: People can't get look at it. I'm gonna pull it up.
- 11:06Speaker 1: I don't want to do an entire screen. I want
- 11:07Speaker 1: to do just this picture. But you don't like me,
- 11:11Speaker 1: do you? You don't open in preview. That's what I needed.
- 11:14Speaker 1: There you are there we go. Uh, let me let
- 11:26Speaker 1: me fix this real time.
- 11:28Speaker 2: This is good podcasting right now.
- 11:30Speaker 1: So it is right. This is a quality stuff, the
- 11:32Speaker 1: stuff that you've been looking foe, everything that y'all dreamed
- 11:36Speaker 1: of and more right here, right right, exactly right here
- 11:43Speaker 1: you go. This is what we're looking at right here.
- 11:47Speaker 1: As far as the setup, right so you know the
- 11:53Speaker 1: standard people Gibson for Rooke, Gentry, which shocked me that
- 11:58Speaker 1: he's out, but I know that shoulder. Every time he
- 12:00Speaker 1: falls on it, it's it's everybody's basically holding their breath.
- 12:04Speaker 1: So hopefully he gets that bad boy settled. And Gary
- 12:07Speaker 1: and Hatchett, who we expected because they say is out
- 12:09Speaker 1: for the season two because of surgery. You had two three,
- 12:12Speaker 1: you had three surgeries on here, right, and then you know,
- 12:16Speaker 1: Gentry figured things out. Mccaula is still doubtful he didn't
- 12:20Speaker 1: have to have surgery on that foot, but I'm guessing
- 12:23Speaker 1: he still ain't there yet as far as health wise.
- 12:25Speaker 1: But it's okay, we're not we're not tripping on that.
- 12:30Speaker 1: But seeing Hickman, Taylor and Troy Average, you're three offensive
- 12:33Speaker 1: linemen in the questionable probable stop bots. Sounds like Everett
- 12:37Speaker 1: Hickman is most likely going to play. They're they're working
- 12:41Speaker 1: towards playing. You get that that helps with the offensive
- 12:45Speaker 1: line and sures up with the experience that you were
- 12:47Speaker 1: expecting going into this season. Coop, how do you feel
- 12:53Speaker 1: about that?
- 12:55Speaker 2: I mean, as you look through it here, I mean
- 12:58Speaker 2: Brentsi Hickman, you know, in for a drive in a
- 13:01Speaker 2: couple of plays, Uh, he goes out. That's when the
- 13:04Speaker 2: that's when the the chaw chaw slide of the offensive
- 13:07Speaker 2: line starts and bringing back my DJ days. Uh that's
- 13:12Speaker 2: how that's how old. That's how old I am. But yeah,
- 13:15Speaker 2: so Hickman goes out, you move everybody all around. Uh,
- 13:18Speaker 2: Jake Taylor goes out, everybody all around again, and so
- 13:23Speaker 2: and we still hadn't seen Troy Everett. You know, he
- 13:26Speaker 2: gots hurt, you know, a decent, decent time ago. So
- 13:30Speaker 2: you get those three guys back in some capacity. The
- 13:33Speaker 2: downside of it is, I still don't believe that they're
- 13:37Speaker 2: gonna step right in and just play at an exceedingly
- 13:41Speaker 2: high level.
- 13:43Speaker 1: Right, But I.
- 13:44Speaker 2: Think, really, really, really, you get an intelligence piece in there. Uh,
- 13:52Speaker 2: you don't have guys, double teaming. Uh, you know, the
- 13:55Speaker 2: nose tackle when you're supposed to be grabbing the blitzing
- 13:58Speaker 2: same linebacker. You don't have, I mean, you don't have
- 14:04Speaker 2: you know, guys, you know, I mean I love Josh
- 14:06Speaker 2: Bates and I really really hope that he is going
- 14:08Speaker 2: to continue to uh to improve, but you don't have
- 14:11Speaker 2: some of those issues to where you make a big
- 14:13Speaker 2: stop and then do flips his lid and yeah, there
- 14:17Speaker 2: you go. So so I mean, I just I'm excited
- 14:21Speaker 2: about this. Kendall Dolby, I think is just as much
- 14:24Speaker 2: the heart and soul of this defense as Danny Stutsman is. Well,
- 14:29Speaker 2: let me rephrase that. Danny Stutsman is the heart and soul,
- 14:32Speaker 2: but Kendle Dolby is what takes this defense from good
- 14:35Speaker 2: to potentially great because Sammy is going to be the
- 14:39Speaker 2: next Kindle Kendall Dolby, but Kendle Dolby still holds that title.
- 14:43Speaker 2: So I'm excited to see those guys. And then Nick,
- 14:46Speaker 2: I mean you got to think about this is Nick
- 14:48Speaker 2: is six four two fifteen to twenty. That's a different type
- 14:52Speaker 2: of wide receiver than you've been throwing out there. He's
- 14:55Speaker 2: almost the same size as you know, Reagan's and Brendan
- 14:59Speaker 2: Thompson together.
- 15:00Speaker 1: So guys come by.
- 15:02Speaker 2: Yeah, and so I'm just I'm excited to see these
- 15:06Speaker 2: kids back. You know, these guys are wanting to be there.
- 15:09Speaker 2: Uh you see him on the depth chart. I know
- 15:11Speaker 2: that design is is really really just hankering to play
- 15:15Speaker 2: and uh, you know, hopefully we have him back for
- 15:17Speaker 2: a little little road trip next week. But man, these
- 15:20Speaker 2: these these uh these depth chart things. You know, the
- 15:24Speaker 2: depth chart has always been somewhat of a you know,
- 15:29Speaker 2: novelty item, but like this new like injury report thing,
- 15:33Speaker 2: like it's uh, you know, it's a it's a pretty
- 15:35Speaker 2: neat deal. But I mean not too many people can
- 15:37Speaker 2: look at the depth chart and be like, Oklahoma is
- 15:40Speaker 2: just making execute Oh wait whole second, Oh damn. They
- 15:44Speaker 2: they are beat up. And so it's good to see
- 15:46Speaker 2: all these guys under the uh the questionable improbable.
- 15:50Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm glad to see that we've got more people
- 15:52Speaker 1: coming back healthy. Nick and Andrella be huge. I'm hoping
- 15:55Speaker 1: Andrea decides to go. I know that knee is still
- 15:58Speaker 1: of course, I mean he got hurt what Texas October
- 16:02Speaker 1: last year October, So it's We're coming up on eleven months.
- 16:05Speaker 1: He played in August, he played August thirtieth, He got
- 16:08Speaker 1: like five or six snaps in, so we know that
- 16:11Speaker 1: he's starting to work on it. We know that he's
- 16:12Speaker 1: practicing in the exp and hopefully he's ready to go
- 16:16Speaker 1: ahead and do it. But yeah, nah, man, I get
- 16:19Speaker 1: If we get Nick and Andro back to go along
- 16:21Speaker 1: with Burks, that changes the whole dynamic of our offense,
- 16:25Speaker 1: which is what we want. We would like to have
- 16:30Speaker 1: our top players and our healthy guys plan to be
- 16:33Speaker 1: up to changed because coming into this season, that's the
- 16:36Speaker 1: thing that you know, I've preached like crazy, is what
- 16:41Speaker 1: we need is a healthy having the healthy wide receivers
- 16:45Speaker 1: to help supplement what you know, Jackson Arnold's gonna be
- 16:49Speaker 1: doing as a young quarterback, right He's he's gonna be
- 16:52Speaker 1: He's the leader at quarterback. But at the same time,
- 16:55Speaker 1: you still need guys to be able to make things
- 16:56Speaker 1: easier for him. If your entire dynamic is young, that
- 17:00Speaker 1: makes things hard. And then the offensive line seeing all
- 17:03Speaker 1: those injuries, man, hopefully we get you know, you get
- 17:06Speaker 1: them in that I'll be able to produce, you know,
- 17:08Speaker 1: some runs and we can actually do ourselves. So I'm thinking,
- 17:11Speaker 1: as long as we start, continue to get healthy over
- 17:13Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks, and we make it to
- 17:15Speaker 1: the bye week, I'm hoping that by the time we
- 17:18Speaker 1: get to red River that we're about close to what
- 17:21Speaker 1: the final product is gonna look like. Right at that point,
- 17:24Speaker 1: you should have said with Everett and Hickman, you know,
- 17:31Speaker 1: you're getting some snaps with Oozeta, who needs to get
- 17:33Speaker 1: some snaps. He's young as a red shirt freshman. You
- 17:35Speaker 1: need him as well, you know, getting sext and you're
- 17:40Speaker 1: getting all those players, and it's gonna be a good thing.
- 17:43Speaker 1: So I'm pretty I'm pretty happy to see that. And
- 17:45Speaker 1: then on the depth chart, you know, as mentioned in
- 17:46Speaker 1: the chat and black Matt just mentioned it, you got
- 17:49Speaker 1: for Roots still in there. The kick return on the
- 17:54Speaker 1: depth chart, which basically means he'll be back. You're gonna
- 17:59Speaker 1: see him back, is what that basically is telling you.
- 18:01Speaker 1: Not this game, You're not gonna see him. It is
- 18:05Speaker 1: what eight weeks. So my anticipation is if for Ut
- 18:08Speaker 1: plays this season, decides to play this year, it's November,
- 18:12Speaker 1: you see him. What's the game first game of November
- 18:17Speaker 1: for us? That is probably Maine would be the game
- 18:22Speaker 1: that he would make his return to get himself back
- 18:24Speaker 1: in shape in preparation of traveling to Missouri. Now Fort
- 18:30Speaker 1: does have the option though, if he wants to. If
- 18:32Speaker 1: he red shirts and decides to play one more year,
- 18:34Speaker 1: he can do that, right because he has not red
- 18:37Speaker 1: shirt yet, he's been here three years.
- 18:40Speaker 2: Could he play Maine? I mean, could he come back
- 18:44Speaker 2: for Missouri Bama, LSU and then Richard? I mean, so
- 18:54Speaker 2: let's see, I'm not let's I mean, November is is
- 19:00Speaker 2: a few few days away. I'm it's man, this is
- 19:04Speaker 2: it's crazy because like you when you said earlier, like
- 19:07Speaker 2: next week when you go to Auburn, it's like I
- 19:09Speaker 2: forgot about the Auburn game. I forget about next week,
- 19:12Speaker 2: Like I've been so focused on this week for I
- 19:15Speaker 2: feel like for you know, two three months. Yeah, it's
- 19:20Speaker 2: been you know, it's like, yeah, I know that we're
- 19:22Speaker 2: going on to Auburn and then I know that then
- 19:24Speaker 2: we got Texas. But it's just crazy, like next week
- 19:28Speaker 2: is our first SEC road game. This week, you know,
- 19:32Speaker 2: we've had some familiarity with with Tennessee, so I guess
- 19:36Speaker 2: it doesn't really feel feel anything. And no Maine is
- 19:40Speaker 2: not good. Maine. Maine will be about like the Temple game.
- 19:45Speaker 1: Worse than that because Maine is FCS. So yes, it'll
- 19:49Speaker 1: be it'll be seventy to nothing type of game. You
- 19:54Speaker 1: can you can run the score up on. We could
- 19:56Speaker 1: play our entire second stream run the score up on
- 19:58Speaker 1: the game we really want to.
- 20:00Speaker 2: It'll be like they're they're they're about as good as
- 20:03Speaker 2: Kent State.
- 20:05Speaker 1: No Kn't State is better, No j Kis State will
- 20:08Speaker 1: blow them out.
- 20:09Speaker 2: Okay, you're missing it.
- 20:11Speaker 1: So I get what you're saying. I get you. I'd
- 20:13Speaker 1: say more Arkansas State, that's what it's closer because Kent
- 20:20Speaker 1: State was actually putting up points on Georgia that year too.
- 20:23Speaker 1: I don't want to give them that kind of respect.
- 20:28Speaker 2: Some of these colleges, and you know, it's funny because
- 20:30Speaker 2: through through uh my job at USA today, like I've
- 20:34Speaker 2: had conversations with some of these schools, and I've talked
- 20:36Speaker 2: to you know, people at some of this you know,
- 20:39Speaker 2: Akron and Toledo, those top schools, and it's crazy how
- 20:42Speaker 2: they're like, hey, we're going to take the money, but
- 20:44Speaker 2: we're sure as heck not going to like roll our kids,
- 20:46Speaker 2: our first string guys out and just let them get
- 20:48Speaker 2: pounded on. You know, we're gonna play like an open scrimmage,
- 20:51Speaker 2: and so, uh, some of these smaller teams are starting
- 20:53Speaker 2: to you know, kind of wise up, Why send your
- 20:55Speaker 2: starters out there and you know, put them at risk
- 20:58Speaker 2: for the rest of the season. But I did rests
- 21:02Speaker 2: the Yeah, I mean, you know with the death chart.
- 21:08Speaker 2: Do you want to talk about anything that you saw
- 21:10Speaker 2: in the death chart that really stuck out to you
- 21:13Speaker 2: because I got a few spots that that I'm kind
- 21:16Speaker 2: of intrigued on. Okay, the starting off, you've got, you know,
- 21:27Speaker 2: at the first wide receiver spot, Brennan Thompson or Nick
- 21:30Speaker 2: Anderson and then Andrel Anthony is the backup and so
- 21:35Speaker 2: you know, obviously those guys are are you know, even
- 21:38Speaker 2: though they're in the same spot, like having those last
- 21:41Speaker 2: two and Brennan, I think Brennan has a little idea
- 21:45Speaker 2: in his brain to to show out this week. So
- 21:48Speaker 2: I'm pretty excited about that. I think the wide receivers
- 21:52Speaker 2: are going to have a lot more success than they've
- 21:54Speaker 2: had at any point during the season. And because you
- 21:57Speaker 2: got your full compliment of them, minus the uh the
- 22:00Speaker 2: you know, the two uh the two long term injuries,
- 22:05Speaker 2: But I really am starting to feel super confident about
- 22:11Speaker 2: just what you have at the you know, up the
- 22:14Speaker 2: middle with you know, we we we said that the
- 22:16Speaker 2: tackles before the season, all the injuries, we said that
- 22:19Speaker 2: the tackles are probably going to be the spot that
- 22:21Speaker 2: you wanted to pay attention to, right right, And then
- 22:25Speaker 2: it kind of went interior outside of fabichi, you know,
- 22:29Speaker 2: because then everybody got hurt and got shuffled around. But
- 22:32Speaker 2: you know, as you look through Jacob Sexton starting at
- 22:35Speaker 2: left guard with Heatho Zaida right behind him, Hickman, Troy
- 22:38Speaker 2: Everett Bates, and then we Wu and our boy e
- 22:41Speaker 2: p l As the number two right behind uh we Wu,
- 22:45Speaker 2: which uh you know, he's obviously been one of our
- 22:48Speaker 2: better offensive linemen. I'm pretty pumped up about this, Jay,
- 22:51Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie like it's do I think these
- 22:54Speaker 2: guys are going to jail one hundred percent immediately. No,
- 22:57Speaker 2: But I also think that, like that's a lot of
- 22:59Speaker 2: intelligence on that offensive line to start against in this game.
- 23:04Speaker 1: No, I agree, Like I said, for me, the biggest
- 23:07Speaker 1: thing has always been that the healthier we are, the
- 23:12Speaker 1: offensive line we knew was going to be a project.
- 23:15Speaker 1: But the healthier we are will be fine long term.
- 23:18Speaker 1: It's one of those that as they jail and get better,
- 23:20Speaker 1: not pull this off for everybody now, So y'all can see,
- 23:23Speaker 1: if you can see that, once we get healthy, we'll
- 23:27Speaker 1: be fine. On the offensive line, that's where the struggle,
- 23:30Speaker 1: of course, is going to come in. So we should
- 23:32Speaker 1: be good, right, I do. Like I mean, Tarkan has
- 23:37Speaker 1: been good on the right tackle. He's been actually pretty good.
- 23:40Speaker 1: I think he's great in the seventies right now.
- 23:42Speaker 2: He might he might be our most consistent offensive lineman
- 23:45Speaker 2: through three games.
- 23:46Speaker 1: He also has sec experience, so he's one of those
- 23:49Speaker 1: linemen that you know he understands. We hopefully fixed whatever
- 23:56Speaker 1: problems that people believe that he had at his last spot.
- 23:59Speaker 2: So Tarquin had Tarquin's proof that Florida played good football
- 24:03Speaker 2: at some point.
- 24:05Speaker 1: That's pretty funny. That's actually quite comedy. But on top
- 24:09Speaker 1: of that, though, the thing to keep in mind when
- 24:14Speaker 1: it comes to the depth chart is this is the
- 24:15Speaker 1: ideal situation that the team has right health wise, if
- 24:21Speaker 1: everybody is healthy, this is kind of ideal of how
- 24:23Speaker 1: they will want it to look. Because you even you
- 24:25Speaker 1: see some of your your hurt people on here besides
- 24:28Speaker 1: the ones that you know are guaranteed to be out.
- 24:31Speaker 1: This is how the ideal look of your your your lineup.
- 24:37Speaker 1: And to me, I think what's fascinating is seeing that
- 24:42Speaker 1: JJ Hester is like the second wide receiver out there.
- 24:48Speaker 1: He is the other wide receiver, and I'm hoping that
- 24:51Speaker 1: we actually try to use him in his height, take
- 24:53Speaker 1: advantage of it, make him go deep, Burd's go underneath right,
- 24:58Speaker 1: and then let Burds get open in space. I think
- 25:00Speaker 1: that for me the big thing is always being I
- 25:02Speaker 1: want to see Dion Burgs in space. The more in
- 25:06Speaker 1: space I see him, the better that he plays. And
- 25:09Speaker 1: then with Nick used him to draw coverage deep as
- 25:13Speaker 1: well as with Hester, and in let your tight ends
- 25:18Speaker 1: and burks mess around in space and try to get
- 25:20Speaker 1: the ball. That's what I would like to see, but
- 25:23Speaker 1: I don't know accomplish that.
- 25:25Speaker 2: You also got to think those deep passes over the middle,
- 25:28Speaker 2: where those those deep dig routes that that h Nick
- 25:31Speaker 2: six has ran. You know, that's easier to throw to
- 25:34Speaker 2: a guy who's six ' four with a six to
- 25:36Speaker 2: six wingspan because you've got a little bit more grace,
- 25:39Speaker 2: whereas if you're throwing it to you know, Dion Burks
- 25:42Speaker 2: at five nine. That, I mean, you don't have a
- 25:45Speaker 2: lot of wiggle room in throwing the ball thirty yards
- 25:48Speaker 2: down field in the middle of the field because one
- 25:52Speaker 2: tip and it's coming back the other way. So I
- 25:54Speaker 2: think that's another big piece where you know, the offenses
- 25:58Speaker 2: ineptitude and you know, just pour play up to this point.
- 26:02Speaker 2: You you know, you start out game one playing in
- 26:05Speaker 2: that twenty yard box we was talked about, and then
- 26:08Speaker 2: through injuries happening, now you kind of just have to
- 26:11Speaker 2: do it. And what happens is every single defender is
- 26:15Speaker 2: within fifteen yards of the line of scrimmage and they've
- 26:18Speaker 2: got no worry about backing out none at all. Well,
- 26:21Speaker 2: now they they got to think about that. And so
- 26:24Speaker 2: I mean, I think it would be great. You know,
- 26:27Speaker 2: we'll get into this here in a minute, but I
- 26:29Speaker 2: think that that allows you you have a full compliment
- 26:33Speaker 2: of guys that can that can do some do some burning.
- 26:36Speaker 2: You go deep early in the game and it doesn't
- 26:39Speaker 2: matter if you complete it or not. Now you have
- 26:41Speaker 2: to absolutely think about that, like, Okay, that's now in
- 26:45Speaker 2: the game plan. That's something they're going to do. And
- 26:47Speaker 2: they're not going to sit because these these Tennessee defensive
- 26:51Speaker 2: backs they want to jump routes. They will jump routes,
- 26:54Speaker 2: and they will keep their eyes in the backfield. And
- 26:57Speaker 2: so there there's a there's a good chance that there's
- 27:00Speaker 2: a good chance that they're gonna get Jackson. But I
- 27:03Speaker 2: think the only way to back them off is to
- 27:06Speaker 2: back them up.
- 27:07Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's very fair point. Thank y'all for pulling
- 27:14Speaker 1: up per the norm hit that like button dut to
- 27:16Speaker 1: the chance of subscribe rate review give us the typical
- 27:18Speaker 1: five stars. Sorry, Coop, this is gonna be a good game,
- 27:22Speaker 1: Like I don't. It's funny because all I've been hearing
- 27:25Speaker 1: from one side is we're gonna get the doors blown
- 27:29Speaker 1: off of us. That's all I hear. As if Tennessee
- 27:34Speaker 1: has seen a team like us before, right, That's all
- 27:38Speaker 1: I'm hearing. And to me, this is why I got
- 27:40Speaker 1: this shirt on today. I think the world is gonna
- 27:43Speaker 1: really get introduced to what Zach Ally wants to do
- 27:46Speaker 1: with his defense, with all the veterans he has on
- 27:48Speaker 1: his defense. And I don't think that this game is
- 27:51Speaker 1: gonna be a blowout. I put this way all the
- 27:53Speaker 1: fans are thinking it's gonna be a blowout. All the
- 27:55Speaker 1: ball nors, your national guys, former players, they're all thinking
- 28:00Speaker 1: three point game at most. And I say that because,
- 28:05Speaker 1: to start, I'm happy that we're seeing Tennessee now. And
- 28:11Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest because to me, if we saw
- 28:14Speaker 1: Tennessee in November, I'm concerned because I think by then
- 28:20Speaker 1: Nico starts to develop even more. He makes the mistakes
- 28:23Speaker 1: he needs to make early because next season, Nico is
- 28:25Speaker 1: gonna be really good. I'm just gonna tell y'all now,
- 28:28Speaker 1: y'all hear this from me right now. I may be,
- 28:31Speaker 1: you know, heavy on what Oklahoma can do do in
- 28:34Speaker 1: this game this year. Next season, I'm telling you now,
- 28:37Speaker 1: Nico's gonna be a problem in the SEC. Kid's gonna
- 28:39Speaker 1: be stupid very much. He's a red shirt freshman and
- 28:43Speaker 1: he's doing some solid stuff. He makes some pretty glary
- 28:48Speaker 1: mistakes with some of his decisions, and the good thing
- 28:50Speaker 1: for him is what makes Tennessee's team tick offensively. For
- 28:58Speaker 1: those that don't understand it, this is what makes them tick.
- 29:03Speaker 1: Run game. Dylan Sampson, Deshaun Gibson, Bishop, Deshaun Bishop, and
- 29:11Speaker 1: uh is it Lewis can't think of a kid's name,
- 29:13Speaker 1: let me look him up real quick. The third running
- 29:16Speaker 1: back that they have because they have like three or
- 29:19Speaker 1: four running backs that because that was actually the big
- 29:22Speaker 1: question about them coming in this year was where are
- 29:25Speaker 1: they gonna be able to stablish that run game. So yeah,
- 29:27Speaker 1: Dylan Samson is Sean Bishop, Peyton Lewis, that's his name,
- 29:31Speaker 1: Payton Lewis. He's at over on hundred yards of season.
- 29:33Speaker 1: They got three. They got three running backs over one
- 29:35Speaker 1: hundred yards this season. Three They can run the ball.
- 29:41Speaker 1: And Peyton Lewis is a freshman, so that makes you like, oh, snap,
- 29:46Speaker 1: see Bishop is a freshman as well, and Samson is
- 29:50Speaker 1: your old head, he's the junior. So you got three
- 29:53Speaker 1: backs that can run.
- 29:57Speaker 2: Run.
- 29:59Speaker 1: Yeah, That to me is where our defense will be
- 30:02Speaker 1: able to show up. This is where Zach Ally needs
- 30:04Speaker 1: to put his stamp in. This game is us keeping
- 30:07Speaker 1: and maintaining a tight run defense. We do that. This
- 30:13Speaker 1: game is a little bit tougher for Tennessee on the
- 30:16Speaker 1: offensive side because yes, Hypel Hypel's offense. He I mean,
- 30:21Speaker 1: you know, he's gonna make it very easy for Nico.
- 30:25Speaker 1: Nico likes certain routes and if you mess up some
- 30:29Speaker 1: of those as a young quarterback, makes it a little
- 30:32Speaker 1: bit easier. Keep that in mind. The hypel offense, similar
- 30:37Speaker 1: to levies, is always predicated about that run game. If
- 30:40Speaker 1: that run game is going, you're gonna be doing some stuff.
- 30:42Speaker 1: If your run game ain't going, putting it on his back,
- 30:48Speaker 1: we would prefer that. Let's put it that way, because
- 30:51Speaker 1: go look at the numbers, like Nico this season statistically
- 30:54Speaker 1: has not just blown I mean blown thing out the
- 30:58Speaker 1: wat I mean he has what six ninety eight, six touchdowns,
- 31:00Speaker 1: two picks.
- 31:02Speaker 2: Now, I will say, you know, he hasn't played I
- 31:04Speaker 2: mean they've played three quarterbacks in a couple of different games.
- 31:07Speaker 2: But even with what even with what you're saying, like
- 31:10Speaker 2: it's not I mean for some of the lazy talking
- 31:15Speaker 2: heads that have said, you know, well you know this
- 31:18Speaker 2: is twenty nineteen, lsu like, come on, like that's that's
- 31:22Speaker 2: just stupidity right there, because you know they don't have
- 31:27Speaker 2: Jamar Chase, justin Jefferson and Marshall back there, like that's
- 31:30Speaker 2: that's that's not it. I mean, that's not even close
- 31:32Speaker 2: to being accurate. But yeah, no, I do think that
- 31:37Speaker 2: I do think that you started with the run. I
- 31:40Speaker 2: think that early in the game. You know, I'm really
- 31:45Speaker 2: I'm really wanting to know what is what does Josh
- 31:48Speaker 2: Hipel think about this? Josh Hippel doesn't think the way
- 31:51Speaker 2: that Twitter spear thinks, right, Josh Whippel has a has
- 31:54Speaker 2: an understanding. Josh Hippel has not been successful against print
- 31:58Speaker 2: Venable's defenses. I mean that that's that's just the truth.
- 32:04Speaker 2: And so you know that's that that's gonna be a
- 32:06Speaker 2: big deal. You're also going with Brent Vinnimles has everybody healthy,
- 32:12Speaker 2: everybody ready to go, and he gets we have we've
- 32:16Speaker 2: played straight up bass this entire time on defense and
- 32:20Speaker 2: you got I mean they've been prepping for Tennessee for
- 32:26Speaker 2: months and so I think you know that's that. This
- 32:30Speaker 2: is why you went out and you got Dominic Williams.
- 32:33Speaker 2: This is why you go out and you pop in
- 32:36Speaker 2: and get a you get a guy like uh uh
- 32:40Speaker 2: Jayden Jackson and and and pay that money right there.
- 32:42Speaker 2: This is why that you assured David Stone that you're
- 32:44Speaker 2: gonna supply him with everything he needs. And you know,
- 32:48Speaker 2: DJ Terry is still a guy who played at Tennessee.
- 32:52Speaker 2: He had some injury issues, but these guys, I mean,
- 32:54Speaker 2: this is why you beef up on that defensive line.
- 32:56Speaker 2: And so it's going to be a little bit of
- 32:58Speaker 2: a checkers match early in this game, because I don't
- 33:01Speaker 2: think that Josh Hipel is going to come out and
- 33:03Speaker 2: just go, hey, let's go deep and see what we
- 33:05Speaker 2: can do. Like I think it's going to be. I
- 33:08Speaker 2: think it's going to be absolutely you know, let's see
- 33:12Speaker 2: what we can do on the ground. Let's spread them out.
- 33:15Speaker 2: Let's not Their tight ends are great, Jay, I don't
- 33:18Speaker 2: know if you've watched any of the games. Their tight
- 33:21Speaker 2: ends are great blockers and if they sneak out, they're
- 33:24Speaker 2: going to be good too. So the linebackers are going
- 33:26Speaker 2: to be crashing down on the run and have to
- 33:28Speaker 2: still pay attention that he doesn't pull the ball and
- 33:31Speaker 2: pop it, you know, for eight nine, ten yards, you know,
- 33:34Speaker 2: every once in a while. So there's a lot of
- 33:38Speaker 2: there's a lot of really really good, you know matchups
- 33:41Speaker 2: to be had here. But I think that, you know,
- 33:44Speaker 2: like I said, Nico will struggle, and I tweeted it
- 33:48Speaker 2: out last week, Nico will struggle against this defense, and
- 33:52Speaker 2: it's not going to be easy for him. He struggled
- 33:55Speaker 2: against lesser defenses, and so that's going to be that's
- 33:59Speaker 2: going to be something that where we're gonna see a
- 34:01Speaker 2: little bit of so can can owe you limit them,
- 34:05Speaker 2: you know under four yards of carrying that that helps
- 34:08Speaker 2: you win the game. Now if you're popping off, you know,
- 34:11Speaker 2: six yards of carry, I don't think this goes Oklahoma's way.
- 34:16Speaker 1: Yeah, the big thing is gonna be even the defensive sets.
- 34:20Speaker 1: The entire goal here is to go we gotta control
- 34:25Speaker 1: a lot more of the clock. So this is where
- 34:28Speaker 1: the offense comes into playing, where the offense has to
- 34:30Speaker 1: help the defense that complementary football, as we always talk about.
- 34:35Speaker 1: The most important thing is going to be making sure
- 34:37Speaker 1: that we try to keep the ball on drives. And
- 34:41Speaker 1: I think having healthy offensive lineman's gonna help with that,
- 34:44Speaker 1: right And I think that we'll be able to do
- 34:46Speaker 1: more stuff with Nick Anderson out there to help with
- 34:49Speaker 1: just sustaining drives. I don't need us to go out
- 34:51Speaker 1: there and try to just go deep constantly and blow
- 34:54Speaker 1: the doors open. I need us to take our time.
- 34:58Speaker 1: That's what I want, right Steven, And ask this good question.
- 35:01Speaker 1: Here are we gonna run a three three five or
- 35:03Speaker 1: four two five mostly honestly, I think we do both. Yes,
- 35:07Speaker 1: but yes, no comment, but yes, I think that we have.
- 35:17Speaker 1: I gotta be careful here. There's other looks too.
- 35:21Speaker 2: Yes, there's other pre snap looks that are going to
- 35:23Speaker 2: happen to where you show maybe a bear defense and
- 35:28Speaker 2: then slide out to a three three five. Uh, there
- 35:32Speaker 2: may be some crazy I mean, there's gonna be some
- 35:34Speaker 2: crazy alignments, and I really allow, you know, preventables, and
- 35:39Speaker 2: I mean they're going to continue to do what they
- 35:41Speaker 2: need to do. I mean it's not you know, this
- 35:43Speaker 2: isn't backyard football. They're not going to be doing crazy stuff.
- 35:47Speaker 2: But but you know, I also think this is if
- 35:51Speaker 2: you want to go deep, that's going to uh, it's
- 35:54Speaker 2: going to take some time. You this is one of
- 35:58Speaker 2: the best safety rooms in the country. Yeah, So it's
- 36:01Speaker 2: not like you're got a weakness back at safety. You've
- 36:05Speaker 2: got a ballhawk and one of the highest graded safeties
- 36:11Speaker 2: on the other side, you know in college football. So
- 36:14Speaker 2: you know, we have three safeties that are absolutely freaks.
- 36:19Speaker 1: Yeah. I think our secondary, going from linebackers back to secondaries,
- 36:22Speaker 1: we've got some of the tops. Right. I think we
- 36:24Speaker 1: have the top five units when it comes to going
- 36:26Speaker 1: from linebackers back into the secondary, and that's what some
- 36:31Speaker 1: of the experts believed as well. For us, even without
- 36:35Speaker 1: Gentry playing, Can has been playing fantastic right. Dance has
- 36:38Speaker 1: been excellent. Right He had him shadowing Mario the entire game,
- 36:43Speaker 1: and Mario is not able to really do anything. So
- 36:47Speaker 1: I'm satisfied with the way that the secondary is playing
- 36:51Speaker 1: and the linebacker unit. The question is going to be
- 36:53Speaker 1: can we get enough pressure on Nico early for it
- 36:57Speaker 1: to be a problem for him. I'm seeing at Lance
- 36:59Speaker 1: Herd was on that injury report lists and it sounds
- 37:01Speaker 1: like his ankle's pretty not very good. I've heard I've
- 37:06Speaker 1: heard from a guy. I think he was on the
- 37:08Speaker 1: Voss Quest guy. He was on with Gabe and Teddy
- 37:13Speaker 1: unklom a breakdown and he was making mention that the
- 37:15Speaker 1: plan is for all the starting linemen to play right.
- 37:18Speaker 1: But the same time you're seeing and hearing rumors that
- 37:20Speaker 1: heard is a little bit hurt more than expected and
- 37:23Speaker 1: he may not play. I think he plays. I don't think.
- 37:26Speaker 1: I think they find a way to shoot him up
- 37:28Speaker 1: with a cortizone shot of something, wrap him up four
- 37:31Speaker 1: or five times. And we get his butt out there
- 37:37Speaker 1: on the field. So I expect it. I expect him
- 37:42Speaker 1: to be out there. But if he is nursing an ankle,
- 37:45Speaker 1: you attack him like crazy, right, You attack him, you
- 37:49Speaker 1: attack interior, you watch out for you do whatever you
- 37:54Speaker 1: can to just put enough pressure on me on a
- 37:57Speaker 1: regular basis. Just because it's earlier in the year, right,
- 38:00Speaker 1: He's gonna learn from this. This game is going to
- 38:02Speaker 1: If we get the pressure that we need to in
- 38:04Speaker 1: this game, he's gonna learn a hell of a lot
- 38:05Speaker 1: about himself. And that's where he's gonna start improving as
- 38:08Speaker 1: the season goes on. That's hence why I said not November.
- 38:12Speaker 1: I don't mind it early November. By then he'll see
- 38:15Speaker 1: somebody's gonna put him in. Let's put it this way,
- 38:19Speaker 1: y'all have seen Tennessee schedule. Let's beat this. Keep it
- 38:22Speaker 1: a buck. They have not played anybody. But as they
- 38:25Speaker 1: get into conference play, Arkansas is gonna probably they're gonna
- 38:29Speaker 1: attack Nico because he's young. We ain't away about Florida.
- 38:33Speaker 1: That's that's a gimme for them because it's at the
- 38:35Speaker 1: crib and a road game. But Bama come into the crib,
- 38:39Speaker 1: they're gonna test them to me, right, I think that stretch,
- 38:43Speaker 1: this stretch of four games US Arkansas, Florida and Alabama,
- 38:47Speaker 1: especially having back to back road games, that's gonna start
- 38:51Speaker 1: building them up. Then the nigget the bye week. Then
- 38:54Speaker 1: Kentucky comes to town, right, and we saw how Kentucky
- 38:57Speaker 1: was a pain in Georgia's butt, and we said, have
- 39:00Speaker 1: a tendency of doing that. It's the weirdest thing about them.
- 39:02Speaker 1: It's like when you come to Lexington, they love to
- 39:04Speaker 1: be a pain in everybody's butt. Right. But then they
- 39:10Speaker 1: have Mississippi State coming to the crib, so they get
- 39:12Speaker 1: to see Levey, you know, Levy and the hypel the reunion.
- 39:15Speaker 1: But then they travel to Georgia and go to Athens
- 39:18Speaker 1: mid November. That game that if honestly, that's the game
- 39:22Speaker 1: I'm circling for Nico this season. That's the game where
- 39:25Speaker 1: I'm seef he's grown up from all the games he's
- 39:28Speaker 1: dealt with this season, because then it is utep in Vandy,
- 39:30Speaker 1: so it's like two kekeloss at the end. But that's
- 39:32Speaker 1: the game on the road tells me if he's grown
- 39:35Speaker 1: up from these And I think these four games are
- 39:37Speaker 1: gonna be the one that's gonna mold him the most,
- 39:39Speaker 1: right because I think he's gonna see all kinds of
- 39:41Speaker 1: crazy stuff. We all know BV and them get exotic
- 39:44Speaker 1: with blitz packages and the way they attack the quarterback,
- 39:49Speaker 1: and him being a young quarterback, a lot of this
- 39:50Speaker 1: stuff he hasn't seen yet. So it's all gonna be
- 39:53Speaker 1: more so experienced that he won't be seeing he hasn't
- 39:55Speaker 1: seen yet. Our goal is going to be able to
- 39:58Speaker 1: disrupt him as much as possible.
- 40:00Speaker 2: Man, you know, I say this is one thing is
- 40:04Speaker 2: whoever put these sec schedules together? Like it looks like
- 40:09Speaker 2: for a couple of teams they like started working, They're like, man,
- 40:12Speaker 2: this damn thing is hard, and then they just started
- 40:15Speaker 2: just getting it done as fast as possible. Like I
- 40:18Speaker 2: don't understand some of these schedules. I mean, you know,
- 40:20Speaker 2: for Tennessee to have Bama and Georgia Oklahoma, like that's ridiculous.
- 40:26Speaker 2: And then you have other teams that have one of
- 40:29Speaker 2: the uh you know, just Texas was just Georgia and Oklahoma.
- 40:34Speaker 2: And what's their third hardest game that they play? Is
- 40:39Speaker 2: it A and M Who's Texas US? Probably No, I said,
- 40:48Speaker 2: us US in Georgia. And then who's their third hardest
- 40:54Speaker 2: h for Arkansas? They got Arkansas, Kentucky, A and m
- 41:00Speaker 2: uh Van.
- 41:01Speaker 1: Yeah, it's probably it's on the road. Probably will be
- 41:05Speaker 1: A and M in Florida because it's a road game.
- 41:09Speaker 1: Michigan should have been their hardest, one of their harder ones.
- 41:12Speaker 1: But we knew Michigan was going to be on a
- 41:13Speaker 1: rebuild anyway. But sec wise's probably the travel to Arkansas
- 41:20Speaker 1: that was gonna be an intriguing game, and then traveling
- 41:22Speaker 1: to Kyle Fields.
- 41:25Speaker 2: Was supposed to be Michigan. But I am just I mean,
- 41:29Speaker 2: here's the thing, is your coach bails, your draft picks disappear,
- 41:34Speaker 2: and nobody gets up. Nobody gets up, you know, I mean,
- 41:40Speaker 2: like Michigan. There's a good chance Michigan may not have
- 41:43Speaker 2: a very good season for quite a while. And you know,
- 41:47Speaker 2: all this spygate stuff looks looks a little looks like
- 41:50Speaker 2: it continues to be more of a truth versus a theory. Uh,
- 41:55Speaker 2: you know, the more they play, So we'll we'll see
- 41:57Speaker 2: what happens. Because I mean, this week, if USC comes
- 41:59Speaker 2: to ten and just dog walks them, it's gonna be
- 42:03Speaker 2: I mean, there's gonna be everybody pile on Michigan about
- 42:06Speaker 2: the same damn way as Florida State got jumped.
- 42:09Speaker 1: Yeah, boy boy, I mean it'd be.
- 42:12Speaker 2: The same thing as the Houston Astros, you know, throwing
- 42:14Speaker 2: out like a fifty win season. People would you know,
- 42:17Speaker 2: would go crazy, all the all one hundred thousand baseball
- 42:20Speaker 2: fans across the country. So but we gotta we got
- 42:23Speaker 2: a super chat.
- 42:25Speaker 1: I know, I was letting you finish up, and I
- 42:27Speaker 1: was gonna jump on it for wound. Thank you for
- 42:29Speaker 1: the ten bucks. We greatly appreciate it. Johnathan, Morrow and
- 42:32Speaker 1: tomorrow from Houston see the game. You'd be out of
- 42:34Speaker 1: Monday game with the fam. Would be cool to meet you,
- 42:38Speaker 1: Coop pg Etctera, Boomer Boomer sooner. I'm not gonna be
- 42:41Speaker 1: able to make the tailgate. My kids got soccer matches,
- 42:44Speaker 1: so I won't be there until closer to game time.
- 42:47Speaker 1: I'll probably be there maybe an hour before is what
- 42:51Speaker 1: it looks like right now. So if we're floating around,
- 42:54Speaker 1: we'll try to we'll try to connect, but we'll be
- 42:57Speaker 1: I'll be walking around before game, so.
- 43:00Speaker 2: Yeah, hit me up, so we will be over where
- 43:02Speaker 2: they drop off the walk of Champions. I'll be there
- 43:05Speaker 2: probably around three thirty. I'm gonna go h go over
- 43:10Speaker 2: with Steve Stutsman and and hang out with the parents
- 43:13Speaker 2: tailgate right over by. It's at the Sealman brother statue.
- 43:17Speaker 2: So yeah, so yeah, if you go checking around, well, yeah,
- 43:24Speaker 2: I'll be hanging out over there are our seats, Jay,
- 43:27Speaker 2: where are our seats are? Thirty five yard line on
- 43:30Speaker 2: the east side?

- 43:54Speaker 1: Tweet at me. Let us know where you're gonna be,
- 43:56Speaker 1: where you're sitting at in what area?
- 43:58Speaker 2: Promise I will not look at you like Aaron Rodgers
- 44:02Speaker 2: looked at his head coach tonight. I will definitely.
- 44:05Speaker 1: Will will actually do that. He's not, but I don't
- 44:09Speaker 1: see you.
- 44:09Speaker 2: It will look like that because the RBF.
- 44:13Speaker 1: That's exactly what Coop's gonna do to you. He's gonna
- 44:15Speaker 1: look at you like that. But Jets are winning too.
- 44:17Speaker 1: That's what's crazy.
- 44:18Speaker 2: Michigan truth. I strongly disagree with you, Bro. I mean,
- 44:23Speaker 2: Michigan has struggled in every single game, and I mean
- 44:26Speaker 2: there's there's a chance to Lane may not lose again
- 44:28Speaker 2: this year. Memphis is then my game.
- 44:31Speaker 1: With the freshman quarterback. That's the craziest part. Yeah, I
- 44:37Speaker 1: didn't realize that Mensa was actually a freshman. Thought at
- 44:40Speaker 1: least a red chirt freshman. No, that dude was a
- 44:42Speaker 1: freshman freshman. I thought it was.
- 44:45Speaker 2: Hey, I'm just saying Tulane, Tulane's good. Michigan is is awful,
- 44:49Speaker 2: and that's what I'm not doing it. I'm not taking
- 44:51Speaker 2: a shot at Texas with that. Michigan is awful.
- 44:54Speaker 1: Michigan beat Arkansas State twenty eight to eighteen, and we
- 45:02Speaker 1: and we beat ourselves at Saint last year. What seventy
- 45:05Speaker 1: three nothing Jones squad, but Jones out there doing it
- 45:09Speaker 1: man at Presno State thirty teen. Come on, man, Michian's bad.
- 45:11Speaker 1: They're bad.
- 45:12Speaker 2: But Jones was on suicide watch about third quarter on
- 45:16Speaker 2: in that game. I mean, his soul was gone.
- 45:19Speaker 1: I felt so bad for him.
- 45:21Speaker 2: It was it was it was rough.
- 45:24Speaker 1: We will yeah, we'll see truth. We'll see you on Saturday,
- 45:26Speaker 1: of course, I mean, as you keep telling us we're
- 45:28Speaker 1: a terrible team. Sure, just keeps saying it over and over.
- 45:30Speaker 1: It makes you feel better.
- 45:31Speaker 2: I mean, it's just statistics, bro, Like you know, they
- 45:35Speaker 2: literally beat them by ten points.
- 45:37Speaker 1: And anyway, Coop, let's move on into something else, as
- 45:40Speaker 1: we had no point in talk to a brick wall.
- 45:45Speaker 1: We'll see what that looks like, uh later on. But yeah, no,
- 45:49Speaker 1: it's it's I think another thing too. Some aspects to
- 45:53Speaker 1: keep an eye out for. With Tennessee, there were a
- 45:55Speaker 1: receiver room. I mean, the tybergary room was full of transfers.
- 45:59Speaker 1: But it's still sold it right, you got the one
- 46:02Speaker 1: from Braslorton came from Oregon if I'm correct, or is
- 46:08Speaker 1: it Brazle that came from Oregon?
- 46:10Speaker 2: Brazzle came from Tulane I believe?
- 46:13Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, Thornton Junior was the one from Oregon and
- 46:18Speaker 1: he's been there for a couple of years, so he's
- 46:20Speaker 1: had some time underneath there. And Brasel came from Tulane,
- 46:24Speaker 1: Yes he did. He was too late. He has seven
- 46:25Speaker 1: hundred yards. Last year tou Laane.
- 46:27Speaker 2: Sheesh bro he was he was, he was their best
- 46:30Speaker 2: wide receiver and he was one of those. He's one
- 46:32Speaker 2: of those matchups that you know when people played him,
- 46:35Speaker 2: you know, put people play I mean played against him,
- 46:37Speaker 2: and like he showed out, like he did a good
- 46:39Speaker 2: job you know against us when he played, he bawled out,
- 46:43Speaker 2: you know, all over us.
- 46:44Speaker 1: Yeah. I remember that year. I remember that year.
- 46:46Speaker 2: Yeah. So, I mean, this guy's this guy's a good receiver.
- 46:49Speaker 2: He's a big, tall guy. Uh Brew McCoy, which is the.
- 46:54Speaker 1: Shout out to Brew McCoy. I am surprised that he's
- 46:57Speaker 1: actually out there like that. He is no lot after
- 47:00Speaker 1: that had last season. Dude, I did not think he
- 47:04Speaker 1: was going to be able to play at the beginning
- 47:05Speaker 1: of the season. He's been playing.
- 47:08Speaker 2: He's the wide receiver version of J. T. Daniels. I mean, like, dude,
- 47:12Speaker 2: he really really has been around. He's but again, I mean,
- 47:17Speaker 2: this was a guy who you know, this was a
- 47:19Speaker 2: guy who was, you know, one of the highest rated
- 47:22Speaker 2: guys coming out of high school a few years back.
- 47:24Speaker 2: And you know, he he is stuck in there and
- 47:27Speaker 2: he's bounced around a little bit. But uh, you know,
- 47:30Speaker 2: I pull for guys like that, and that's what's and
- 47:33Speaker 2: so that's what bad is. I know that you and
- 47:35Speaker 2: I both like Tennessee a lot. I mean, just you know,
- 47:37Speaker 2: close to heart and but yeah, I like their I
- 47:43Speaker 2: like the wide receivers. You know, going back in and
- 47:46Speaker 2: looking at some of the film, there's been a lot
- 47:48Speaker 2: of times they've been running around with nobody around him.
- 47:51Speaker 1: Wide open boot, but make it open. But I mean,
- 47:54Speaker 1: you get that if you're playing Chattanooga and you're playing kids,
- 47:57Speaker 1: stay without Sean Louis. Remember the Kent State that gave that,
- 48:02Speaker 1: that almost gave us, well, gave Georgia Hill two years ago.
- 48:05Speaker 1: Was John Lewis's Kent State. He ain't there no more.
- 48:07Speaker 1: Remember he went to Colorado for a year. Now he's
- 48:09Speaker 1: at San Diego State, San Diego State, so but yeah, he.
- 48:18Speaker 2: Future packed, future packed twelve, san Diego State.
- 48:21Speaker 1: Future packed something, san Diego State, which is still wild
- 48:26Speaker 1: to me that they're going all through this three Organs
- 48:29Speaker 1: and stuff. But I digress. But no, you mentioned the
- 48:32Speaker 1: tight ends though, Coop and and we wanted holding Stays.
- 48:35Speaker 1: That was one player we was going after. And yeah,
- 48:37Speaker 1: they they they passed the ball around, Let's put it
- 48:41Speaker 1: that way. That's the one thing that I have noticed
- 48:44Speaker 1: from the way that Tennessee plays is that they mix
- 48:49Speaker 1: it up, right, you don't you have I mean, Chris
- 48:51Speaker 1: Brasel is their top receiver at team catches. But that's it, right,
- 48:55Speaker 1: it's a mixture. You have four guys with one hundred
- 48:57Speaker 1: yards on the season. It's they they literally spread the
- 49:01Speaker 1: ball around, right. They've they've thrown four nine hundred yards
- 49:06Speaker 1: on the season. Nico's only got just under seven hundred
- 49:10Speaker 1: of it because he hasn't had to play four quarters. Right,
- 49:12Speaker 1: So they're doing a really good job of like they're
- 49:15Speaker 1: spreading the ball and getting everybody involved and get everybody
- 49:20Speaker 1: looks right, Like Mike Matthews is the young guy that
- 49:23Speaker 1: next season is gonna be dumb good. Matthews is a
- 49:26Speaker 1: really good six to one freshman out of Georgia.
- 49:29Speaker 2: Yeah, it's yeah between Stays and then Kitselman, Like, those
- 49:36Speaker 2: guys are gonna both be Like I said, those guys
- 49:39Speaker 2: are gonna both be guys that are going to especially
- 49:42Speaker 2: if herd If Hurd is you know, got a bum ankle,
- 49:45Speaker 2: they're gonna want to put somebody out on him. And
- 49:49Speaker 2: this is gonna be the first time that they go
- 49:51Speaker 2: up against this offensive line goes up against the defensive
- 49:53Speaker 2: line that they can't just you know, stuff up when
- 49:58Speaker 2: when they rush for like you're going to have especially
- 50:01Speaker 2: in this BV BV scheme, I mean, you're going to
- 50:05Speaker 2: have somebody double teaming either Dom or Terry or Jackson.
- 50:10Speaker 2: You're going to have uh, you know, guys pretty lined up,
- 50:12Speaker 2: and then you're gonna have a free You're gonna have
- 50:14Speaker 2: a free man. So is it going to be the
- 50:16Speaker 2: tight end staying in? Is it going to be? And
- 50:19Speaker 2: you know that's that's on. I mean that's on passing downs,
- 50:21Speaker 2: on on on on rushdowns. You know, uh, we're starting
- 50:25Speaker 2: to see Kobe McKenzie develop into that dude too. And
- 50:29Speaker 2: so when you go when you go three deep with Kobe,
- 50:32Speaker 2: Kip and Danny, you know, it's kind of crazy and
- 50:36Speaker 2: you can rotate these guys in and stay pretty fresh.
- 50:38Speaker 2: Dolby's back is Cardial can and you know you got
- 50:43Speaker 2: Lewis Carter and the Canic Man. Congratulations to Cann. I
- 50:46Speaker 2: saw him. I saw him you know, in quite a
- 50:50Speaker 2: bit in big times, big moments here this past week,
- 50:54Speaker 2: and so I mean it looks like he was starting
- 50:57Speaker 2: to really really get it. So yeah, I'm pretty uh,
- 51:02Speaker 2: I'm pretty excited about that to be able to keep
- 51:05Speaker 2: these linebackers fresh. But this is you gotta be. You
- 51:08Speaker 2: got to be disciplined with your eyes. And I think
- 51:10Speaker 2: that goes for both sides, both of the sets backs
- 51:13Speaker 2: for Tennessee and for Oklahoma. You got to have good
- 51:16Speaker 2: eye discipline because if you don't have that good eye discipline,
- 51:19Speaker 2: all of a sudden, you're losing two steps. And with
- 51:23Speaker 2: guys who are going to I mean they're going to
- 51:26Speaker 2: be hopping in here trying to stop the run, even
- 51:28Speaker 2: though we have ran the ball piss poor at this point,
- 51:31Speaker 2: I think that you supplement the run with off tackle stuff.
- 51:34Speaker 2: You supplement the run with the running back pass game.
- 51:37Speaker 2: I think it was mcchushan who brought up, you know,
- 51:42Speaker 2: it brought up a you know, an old scheme where
- 51:46Speaker 2: there was a game against Tennessee and the was it
- 51:49Speaker 2: ole miss and they you know, had a lot of success,
- 51:52Speaker 2: I mean through the running backs eighteen times. So we'll
- 51:55Speaker 2: continue to see, you know, some of that stuff. But
- 51:57Speaker 2: I mean the Tide, you know, they don't have a
- 52:02Speaker 2: star wide receiver. They've got a bunch of capable guys.
- 52:06Speaker 1: That's true, and I think the rotation is gonna be good. Yeah,
- 52:10Speaker 1: Cannick play. He played a lot in late he got
- 52:13Speaker 1: some good moments. He's been really good in tackling this season,
- 52:16Speaker 1: gray wise, he's been having some really good games. So
- 52:20Speaker 1: I anticipating a lot more Cannick, you know, as the
- 52:24Speaker 1: season progresses. But the good thing is, like you said,
- 52:26Speaker 1: we don't have a massive drop off when you start
- 52:29Speaker 1: going through your linebackers. So overall in this game, you know,
- 52:32Speaker 1: just wrap up with predictions. I think this is gonna
- 52:35Speaker 1: be a lot closer than people think. I think I
- 52:37Speaker 1: think there's a path for Oklahoma to win by controlling,
- 52:42Speaker 1: you know, controlling the line of scrimmage and making Tennessee
- 52:47Speaker 1: really work. Right, if you can stop the run, which
- 52:50Speaker 1: is what our strong suit is on our defense, it's
- 52:52Speaker 1: gonna make it tougher to pass. But I think I
- 52:53Speaker 1: think there is a path for it. I don't think
- 52:55Speaker 1: that Tennessee covers a spread in this game, though. I
- 52:57Speaker 1: think that's spread. If Tennessee wins, it's four points or less.
- 53:02Speaker 1: Oklahoma wins, it's four points or less. That's kind of
- 53:05Speaker 1: where I'm at in this one. For me, it's still
- 53:08Speaker 1: about health. We got to see who's all going to
- 53:11Speaker 1: actually play. If our offensive linemen end up being on
- 53:13Speaker 1: the field I could see. I think for me, the
- 53:16Speaker 1: over under cead of fifty six and a half coop,
- 53:18Speaker 1: I'm gonna say Oklahoma twenty a Tennessee twenty four.
- 53:26Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, if Oklahoma you get your players back.
- 53:30Speaker 2: You haven't had a healthy offensive line yet. You've been
- 53:33Speaker 2: playing your fourth string center. You've been shuffling tackles into
- 53:38Speaker 2: a guard position, you know, switching tackles from one side
- 53:41Speaker 2: of the line to the other side. You know, you
- 53:44Speaker 2: get these guys back you wanted. You know, you could
- 53:47Speaker 2: have played a few of them last week, and you
- 53:50Speaker 2: could have. You could have. I mean, you could have
- 53:52Speaker 2: got these guys in. But you run the potential of
- 53:55Speaker 2: those guys getting hurt. You know. Somebody just text me
- 53:59Speaker 2: a few minutes ago, Hickman had another great day of
- 54:02Speaker 2: practice today and you know, doing walkthrough stuff. So that
- 54:06Speaker 2: looks good. So yeah, it's with Oklahoma. If you fail
- 54:11Speaker 2: on offense, don't do it after twenty five seconds. You
- 54:15Speaker 2: got to catch the dan ball. That's another thing is
- 54:17Speaker 2: you do not have an opportunity to do this. I
- 54:21Speaker 2: think that Dean Burks showed out who he really is.
- 54:26Speaker 2: I want to see Dion Burks get a couple of
- 54:28Speaker 2: deep balls because I think for a guy with twenty
- 54:31Speaker 2: two catches through three games, you know, his average n
- 54:34Speaker 2: yardbridge catches is pretty low. So I think that you're
- 54:36Speaker 2: gonna get a chance to see him with a little
- 54:40Speaker 2: a little deep action. We now have a tied end.
- 54:42Speaker 2: So as much as I say with the Tennessee offense,
- 54:46Speaker 2: if this offensive line is I mean flirts with good,
- 54:51Speaker 2: that's all you need. And if the defense does what
- 54:54Speaker 2: I think it's going to do, you look at you know,
- 54:58Speaker 2: my prediction here is is Oklahom, I'm a thirty one
- 55:00Speaker 2: twenty four. I think that's uh. I think that we
- 55:04Speaker 2: got an opportunity to uh to you know, maybe get
- 55:07Speaker 2: a score or set up an easy score on defense.
- 55:11Speaker 2: Special team is gonna be a big deal to their
- 55:12Speaker 2: kicker is the leading scorer of the nation. So if
- 55:15Speaker 2: you hold them to field goals, you got to you
- 55:18Speaker 2: gotta up that. You got to be over the top
- 55:19Speaker 2: of it. So I feel pretty confident in this one.
- 55:22Speaker 2: And and I think that the defense, you know, it's
- 55:27Speaker 2: we have ground out every single game so far, and
- 55:31Speaker 2: now we get a bunch of guys back and they're healthy.
- 55:34Speaker 2: What are they going to respond to when they have
- 55:35Speaker 2: to grind? You know, can they Can they do that?
- 55:37Speaker 2: Do they know how to do it? Tennessee traditionally has
- 55:40Speaker 2: had a hell of a time winning against ranked opponents
- 55:43Speaker 2: on the road and didn't matter who the team was.
- 55:47Speaker 2: They have not done it well and that's what's kept
- 55:50Speaker 2: them from winning anything since. You know, nineteen ninety eight
- 55:54Speaker 2: was their last conference championship. So uh yeah, thirty one
- 55:58Speaker 2: twenty four Oklahoma.
- 56:02Speaker 1: Let's get it all right. Drop your predictions in there.
- 56:06Speaker 1: I see a bunch of them coming through not feeling
- 56:10Speaker 1: good for me. I like this close on tween nine
- 56:12Speaker 1: twenty eight. That's a close. Coop says twenty to nineteen.
- 56:17Speaker 1: Like that.
- 56:18Speaker 2: I say this, if you are going to the game,
- 56:21Speaker 2: if you know people going in the game, you tell
- 56:23Speaker 2: them this is not a game that you are sitting
- 56:28Speaker 2: down and all that mess. I will, I will, I
- 56:31Speaker 2: will shame you publicly if I see you sitting down
- 56:33Speaker 2: in our section. So you're gonna be up yelling, going crazy.
- 56:37Speaker 2: I've heard Jay, did you hear people are talking about
- 56:39Speaker 2: bringing a bunch of dimes, you know, or like paying
- 56:42Speaker 2: bringing cash and trying to get change at the concession
- 56:45Speaker 2: stand so they can turn their empty water bottles into shakers.
- 56:48Speaker 2: There's a bunch of stuff going around for that, so
- 56:51Speaker 2: I don't I don't give a damn if they sing
- 56:53Speaker 2: let it go from Frozen or you know, you know,
- 56:56Speaker 2: here comes the Boom by Nelly, like, it doesn't matter
- 56:58Speaker 2: what the music is. You guys can turn it up.
- 57:00Speaker 2: Let's get it going.
- 57:02Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about. Just get loud, lose your
- 57:06Speaker 1: darn minds in that game. Please all right, thank y'ull
- 57:09Speaker 1: for pulling up. We're gonna wrap this back way up.
- 57:11Speaker 1: Get out of here, get some sleep. Hit the light button,
- 57:14Speaker 1: Neto the chanund subscribe rate review, give us five stars
- 57:20Speaker 1: with that, we'll be ready. We'll chop it up postgame.
- 57:25Speaker 1: I don't know, depending on how long it takes to
- 57:27Speaker 1: get home, and may throw something up right after the game.
- 57:29Speaker 1: But you'll know, you'll definitely have my morning after first
- 57:33Speaker 1: thing Sunday morning, me and could go live on Sunday evening.
- 57:38Speaker 1: I would put that I gotta throw that up before
- 57:40Speaker 1: I hop on the plane. That way we can talk
- 57:44Speaker 1: through it. But I'll be watching the game. I'll probably
- 57:47Speaker 1: be in the car rewatching the game. Listen while somebody
- 57:51Speaker 1: else is driving me home as I prepare and everything.
