0:35
Speaker 4: We did good that last hour.
0:37
Speaker 2: That clock management of O TV one O four to
0:40
Speaker 2: five USPN battermine. Yeah, okay, we shouldn't have to say
0:45
Speaker 2: it anymore. We were both molded by less miles. The
0:48
Speaker 2: clock management's not going to be our strong suit. It's okay.
0:51
Speaker 2: We still won games.
0:53
Speaker 4: We sure did, and you think we're winning right now?
0:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, we had the Saints head coach.
0:57
Speaker 4: We're gonna be down a few.
0:58
Speaker 2: I mean, I find it really impressive that we ran
1:01
Speaker 2: to downtown, got in studio, did that with coach, and
1:05
Speaker 2: ran back here two rouses in time for this segment.
1:08
Speaker 4: I know we got a fast car, real fast car.
1:11
Speaker 5: We even got here before we do that live read
1:13
Speaker 5: right afterwards abruptly roughly, yeah, Kelimore is real specific was like, hey,
1:18
Speaker 5: y'all have to do it in studio. You have to
1:19
Speaker 5: put on your clothes that you wore yesterday, clothes you
1:23
Speaker 5: wore yesterday.
1:24
Speaker 2: Do that interview. Yep, we do appreciate his time obviously
1:28
Speaker 2: though that was a lot of fun. I enjoyed that.
1:31
Speaker 5: Enjoyed that he's throwing around good questions at us left
1:36
Speaker 5: and right.
1:36
Speaker 2: I mean, you didn't get a chance and maybe we
1:38
Speaker 2: can play that last answer that he had a little
1:40
Speaker 2: bit later on in the show, because we did have
1:42
Speaker 2: one more question for him, and uh, in total, we
1:46
Speaker 2: got three good questions from the same said coach Touner.
1:48
Speaker 2: Flynn won for me feels like a big win.
1:51
Speaker 5: It's a huge win, but it was it was it
1:53
Speaker 5: was good. It was good of them to jump on
1:56
Speaker 5: with us. Hopefully we can do that a couple more
1:58
Speaker 5: times throughout the season. But you know, do the video.
2:00
Speaker 5: The video. He just kind of getting a comfort zone
2:02
Speaker 5: a little bit. And I think I thought Kellen Moore
2:06
Speaker 5: gave some really good answers, made us feel, you know,
2:09
Speaker 5: really Pilely gave some good answers on Spencer Rattler and
2:11
Speaker 5: about what they saw with him throughout the off season
2:16
Speaker 5: and this consistency. Uh, he kind of talked about and
2:19
Speaker 5: say it in this term, but he kind of talked
2:21
Speaker 5: about a little bit of a dog mentality yeah with
2:23
Speaker 5: Spencer Rattler, but kind of just gave an overall view
2:27
Speaker 5: of like kind of why he was a decision. It
2:29
Speaker 5: was really consistency, playing within the system, understood what they're
2:32
Speaker 5: trying to do and get accomplished. And and of course
2:36
Speaker 5: we all know that they there is arm talent with
2:38
Speaker 5: both these guys, so but we we understand that it's
2:43
Speaker 5: a tough path this year. And he also made mentioned
2:46
Speaker 5: of you know, there's ebbs and flows that you can't
2:49
Speaker 5: get too you can't get too high with the highs,
2:51
Speaker 5: you can't get too low.
2:52
Speaker 4: With the lows. It's a long season. Seventeen weeks is
2:55
Speaker 4: so darn long, it's crazy. So it's a long season.
2:59
Speaker 5: A lot of forward to I think I know everybody
3:02
Speaker 5: around here it's kind of walking around with their head
3:06
Speaker 5: down going into the Saint season. But look, you know,
3:09
Speaker 5: you have some young guys, you have so you have
3:11
Speaker 5: a brand new head coach, you got a brand new system.
3:13
Speaker 4: So let's let's cheer hard for him, you know that.
3:15
Speaker 5: I think I think they have a chance to surprise
3:18
Speaker 5: us all. You know, of course, we don't expect them
3:21
Speaker 5: to go to the playoffs and make a run for
3:22
Speaker 5: a super Bowl or anything. But like, man, I think
3:25
Speaker 5: they got a chance to be exciting here and there.
3:28
Speaker 5: So it and it look it's first year with a
3:30
Speaker 5: new with a new coach, so just give him the support.
3:34
Speaker 5: And he was nice enough to join us, so we're
3:36
Speaker 5: gonna support him as well, so Goo Saints.
3:40
Speaker 2: Yeah. I like what he said too about how the
3:44
Speaker 2: way he kind of, you know, envisions a quarterback, because
3:47
Speaker 2: it is impressive that he's done it with multiple different quarterbacks,
3:50
Speaker 2: multiple different styles and kind of his thought process and
3:54
Speaker 2: how he takes a little bit of here, a little
3:55
Speaker 2: bit of there, and you start thinking about some of
3:57
Speaker 2: the minds that he's been with, and it is really impressive.
4:01
Speaker 2: You know, he's put it on. It's an amalgamation of
4:03
Speaker 2: all these different offenses that he's been he's put them together.
4:06
Speaker 5: Yeah. I was really because it is impressive the just
4:10
Speaker 5: to be able to go from as an offensive coordinator
4:13
Speaker 5: and a quarterback coach somebody that is they're talking to
4:16
Speaker 5: the quarterbacks each and every day about their reads and
4:19
Speaker 5: about the scheme and about the playbook. To be able
4:22
Speaker 5: to go from a number system to a West Coast
4:24
Speaker 5: is not easy to at least be able to to
4:27
Speaker 5: be able to fluently talk about it, casually talk about
4:31
Speaker 5: and understand the ins and outs of it.
4:32
Speaker 4: It's not easy.
4:33
Speaker 5: Like I I went to a number system that people
4:36
Speaker 5: started talking to me about number system, I'm like, no,
4:38
Speaker 5: I don't even care to learn this.
4:39
Speaker 4: I don't want to do it.
4:40
Speaker 5: It's not the way my brain works. I am fully
4:43
Speaker 5: functioned and learned, and this is this is my first
4:48
Speaker 5: language is West Coast and concept and long word type
4:51
Speaker 5: of play calls. But it was interesting to me to
4:54
Speaker 5: see that he kind of did say, like I would say,
4:57
Speaker 5: the core of his foundation he.
4:59
Speaker 4: Said, was what they kind of did at Boise State
5:01
Speaker 4: when he was there.
5:02
Speaker 2: Yeah.
5:02
Speaker 5: I have no idea what that offense is. I never
5:05
Speaker 5: studied it when he was at Boise State. I just
5:07
Speaker 5: know they threw for a billion yards every single game
5:09
Speaker 5: and he was the fourth in the Heisman voting list.
5:14
Speaker 5: From a guy that you know, I don't think anybody's
5:16
Speaker 5: gonna I don't think he's gonna fool anybody on like
5:19
Speaker 5: the most arm, talented, fast, big arm guy in the world.
5:22
Speaker 5: But in that system, with his decision making, he was
5:26
Speaker 5: one of the best quarterbacks in the country at that
5:28
Speaker 5: time with that system, So it was interesting to me
5:30
Speaker 5: to hear him say, no, it wasn't North Turner, it
5:32
Speaker 5: wasn't Mike McCarthy. The core of what we gotta do
5:35
Speaker 5: is kind of goes a lot of the philosophy's date back.
5:37
Speaker 4: To Bozie State.
5:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we'll look. We'll have that full interview for
5:41
Speaker 2: you obviously on YouTube. You can go check that out.
5:44
Speaker 2: We'll have a clipped up put on social media as well.
5:46
Speaker 2: A lot of great information there from Saints head coach kellemore.
5:50
Speaker 2: So again we thank him for a time and hopefully
5:52
Speaker 2: we can get him on again at some point during
5:55
Speaker 2: the season. But now it's the moment you've been waiting
5:59
Speaker 2: for weeks. We're gonna get you down to the number
6:03
Speaker 2: one team in the OTB Top twenty five deals. What
6:08
Speaker 2: is gonna be? It is a big deals We've been
6:11
Speaker 2: telling you over the last couple of weeks. All right,
6:13
Speaker 2: quick recap. I know Flynn loves this part so much.
6:16
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you the number two team in the country.
6:18
Speaker 2: A laundra is gonna give you the number one team
6:21
Speaker 2: in the country at twenty five. It is a Boise
6:24
Speaker 2: State at twenty four, Memphis at twenty three, Baylor at
6:27
Speaker 2: twenty two, Georgia Tech twenty one, Tennessee twenty, Iowa State nineteen,
6:31
Speaker 2: Texas eight and four eighteen, Indiana seventeen, Old miss You've
6:36
Speaker 2: got sixteen, Florida fifteen, Texas Tech fourteen, SMU thirteen, Arizona
6:42
Speaker 2: State twelve, Alabama eleven, Miami ten, Illinois nine, Texas eight,
6:47
Speaker 2: Oregon seven, Notre Dame six, Georgia five, South Carolina four,
6:52
Speaker 2: Penn State three. The Clemson Tigers, the number two team
7:02
Speaker 2: in the OTB Top twenty five. Don't keep us waiting,
7:06
Speaker 2: the LSU Tigers, the number two team, the LSU Tigers.
7:13
Speaker 2: They've got to match up with the number three team
7:16
Speaker 2: and the OTB Top twenty five, the Clemson Tigers coming
7:20
Speaker 2: up tomorrow night. As we all know, I think number
7:23
Speaker 2: two is a great spot for LSU. I think you
7:26
Speaker 2: look at what they've got coming back, all the things
7:29
Speaker 2: we've talked about for weeks, for months, for half the year.
7:33
Speaker 2: I like LSU this year. I don't love the aj
7:36
Speaker 2: Halsey stuff here in the first game, not playing the
7:39
Speaker 2: first half, But I am a big believer as we
7:44
Speaker 2: all are. In Garrett Nesmeyer and what he can do.
7:48
Speaker 2: And one thing that none of us, and I mean
7:50
Speaker 2: none of us, anybody, not here, not anywhere in the state,
7:54
Speaker 2: anywhere covering college football, has talked enough about actually jumped
8:02
Speaker 2: from year one to year two because you're one was
8:05
Speaker 2: so good when you throw for four thousand yards in
8:08
Speaker 2: year number one. If you came back and you had
8:11
Speaker 2: another year just like that, it'd be great. But we
8:15
Speaker 2: give everybody else the oh, well, you know, actually the
8:17
Speaker 2: jump from year one to year two is the biggest
8:19
Speaker 2: jump that you'll have as a quarterback. Okay, well, if
8:22
Speaker 2: that's the case, you had a guy that threw for
8:24
Speaker 2: over four thousand yards last year. What does that tell me?
8:28
Speaker 2: It tells me that he has set up to have
8:31
Speaker 2: the same production as far as yards, but he is
8:34
Speaker 2: going to go up in touchdowns and down on interceptions.
8:38
Speaker 2: That's what that tells me. I think this team is
8:41
Speaker 2: going to go as far as Garrett Nessmeyer takes them,
8:43
Speaker 2: which is all the way I think to an SEC
8:46
Speaker 2: championship game, a couge football playoff, and an opportunity to
8:50
Speaker 2: win the entire damn thing. I'm high on LSU, I'm
8:53
Speaker 2: high on Garrett Nessmeyer. If the defense does what I
8:58
Speaker 2: think they can do, they'll be in the conversation. Will
9:00
Speaker 2: they go undefeated? No, I don't think LSU going to
9:03
Speaker 2: go undefeated. I think they're going to be a ten
9:04
Speaker 2: and two football team. Again, that makes it to the
9:07
Speaker 2: college football playoff once you get there. The team that
9:10
Speaker 2: won it all last year was ten and two. It
9:12
Speaker 2: is a different game now. I love two lost national
9:14
Speaker 2: champions myself, so LSU's gonna have the opportunity. I'm not
9:18
Speaker 2: calling for them to win the national championship just yet.
9:21
Speaker 2: We'll get there. We'll cross that bridge when we get there.
9:24
Speaker 2: But I do think they're a college football playoff team.
9:27
Speaker 2: I do think they'll make an appearance in Atlanta for
9:29
Speaker 2: the SEC championship game. Give me the LSU Tigers number
9:33
Speaker 2: two team in the country.
9:35
Speaker 5: All right, they're not number one, but you got them
9:38
Speaker 5: a number two and just like you said, equally is
9:42
Speaker 5: important on the defense a lot of different pieces. Of course,
9:44
Speaker 5: Aja Halsey bat news isn't fantastic that we were so
9:48
Speaker 5: blessed with yesterday. But Harold Perkins, we've talked about it.
9:54
Speaker 5: If he plays at that All American standard, the standard
9:57
Speaker 5: if he lives up to the athleticism he has.
10:00
Speaker 4: That's special. We all know.
10:02
Speaker 5: The special talent is that special skill set. It's finding
10:06
Speaker 5: where he fits on the puzzle. Where does that puzzle piece,
10:10
Speaker 5: because it is an amazing puzzle piece. If you can
10:12
Speaker 5: figure that piece out, whether it's star position, and if
10:16
Speaker 5: he's an All American, I will be happy.
10:17
Speaker 4: I'll be the first to say I love the star position.
10:20
Speaker 5: Okay, if he has that run, if he is an
10:23
Speaker 5: All American, and if we are talking about him in
10:26
Speaker 5: the same light as we did after the twenty twenty
10:28
Speaker 5: three Alabama game, if we are doing it, if he
10:30
Speaker 5: is on that trajectory, we will be the SEC champions
10:34
Speaker 5: and we will be playing for a national championship.
10:36
Speaker 2: That is a fact.
10:38
Speaker 5: That is how it is going to be. And you
10:40
Speaker 5: talk to you just not hit on the nuts Meyer
10:43
Speaker 5: about that. People are not talking about that year one
10:45
Speaker 5: to year two jump. Well, LSU fans, we are pretty
10:48
Speaker 5: familiar with that. Yeah, Joe Burrow, how is that jump
10:51
Speaker 5: from year one year two?
10:52
Speaker 2: Good?
10:53
Speaker 4: Jaden Daniels, how is his jump from year one to
10:55
Speaker 4: year two as a starter?
10:56
Speaker 2: Pretty good?
10:57
Speaker 4: Okay?
10:57
Speaker 5: Garret Nussmeier, you're up, buddy. Is time check out this shirt.
11:02
Speaker 2: The nuts bus.
11:03
Speaker 5: I know it's got the wrong number one. Now, I
11:05
Speaker 5: know you're number eighteen, but it's okay. We're all on
11:08
Speaker 5: the Nust bus. I've been driving that thing for a
11:10
Speaker 5: long time and it was sometimes it was all hard
11:13
Speaker 5: to drive it by myself. But you know what, it's
11:16
Speaker 5: a big ass.
11:16
Speaker 4: Bus right now.
11:18
Speaker 5: So we're all behind you. We're all behind the Tigers.
11:21
Speaker 5: And if you have the season and that jump like
11:23
Speaker 5: we think you're gonna do, like we know you're gonna do,
11:25
Speaker 5: like you're capable of doing, we will be playing for
11:30
Speaker 5: that big trophy at the end of the year.
11:34
Speaker 2: There you have it, LSU the number two team in
11:37
Speaker 2: the OTB Top twenty five. Now here's what we're gonna do.
11:41
Speaker 2: I'm gonna turn us down and turn a laundra up
11:44
Speaker 2: as she gives you the number one team and the
11:47
Speaker 2: OTB Top twenty five.
11:50
Speaker 6: The number one team and the OTB Top twenty five.
11:54
Speaker 6: You left me with no other choice but to rank Ohio.
11:58
Speaker 6: Stay all right. They got some of the best players
12:04
Speaker 6: in the country returning, so Jeremiah Smith obviously at wide receivers,
12:08
Speaker 6: star safety Caleb Downs, and Bobby Mentioned linebacker sunny Styles
12:13
Speaker 6: also so got a lot of good returning production they
12:16
Speaker 6: have or they missed Quinchawn Judkins, but they go into
12:19
Speaker 6: the portal and replace him with c Ja Donaldson from
12:22
Speaker 6: West Virginia, so Ohio state looking really good coming back.
12:26
Speaker 6: And they are our number one team and the OTV
12:29
Speaker 6: Top twenty five.
12:32
Speaker 2: Hey, there we go.
12:34
Speaker 4: We did it.
12:35
Speaker 2: We did it. Thank you, Elandra. Great breakdown of the
12:38
Speaker 2: buck Eyes there the number one team and the OTB
12:42
Speaker 2: Top twenty five. And you know, Elandra, I you know,
12:46
Speaker 2: only gave for a lung choice. But whoever had the
12:49
Speaker 2: number one team right, you know, only going to have
12:51
Speaker 2: one choice though, But I feel good about it. Great breakdown, Alandra,
12:54
Speaker 2: great breakdown team throughout the process of naming the OTV
12:58
Speaker 2: Top twenty five.
13:00
Speaker 5: And if there's one thing that we can hang our
13:03
Speaker 5: hat on here at Off the Bench is our journalistic integrity.
13:08
Speaker 5: And I want to tell you that is the only
13:10
Speaker 5: reason we didn't pick LSU at number one, is because
13:13
Speaker 5: we wanted to maintain that nationwide, that worldwide integrity that
13:18
Speaker 5: we have as journalists here at Off the Bench. We
13:22
Speaker 5: wanted to go number one. I just want you all
13:24
Speaker 5: to know that. And they're going to be number one
13:27
Speaker 5: at the end of the year. Lu I mean, look,
13:30
Speaker 5: if you're number two, you're playing for it.
13:33
Speaker 4: Hey man.
13:33
Speaker 5: When we had some Ohios State guys on the show today, yep,
13:36
Speaker 5: we did Bobby Carpenter a J Hawk here of course
13:41
Speaker 5: part of the quadbox. So we're going to make them
13:45
Speaker 5: number one and number two Ohio State LSU. The championship
13:48
Speaker 5: game is going to be national championship game all out
13:51
Speaker 5: two thousand and seven.
13:53
Speaker 2: That's right, last time this happened, and we know how
13:55
Speaker 2: that went for the Buck guys.
13:56
Speaker 4: Yep, punishment face.
13:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the National Chichampionships in Miami doesn't matter,
14:03
Speaker 2: pretty sure. I was just trying to get a trip
14:05
Speaker 2: playing with AJ and Bobby. Yeah, and then Bobby gets
14:08
Speaker 2: the crowd all hyped up for nothing's gonna lose.
14:11
Speaker 4: Raise the roof.
14:12
Speaker 5: He definitely helicopter towels on the sideline, no doubt, standing
14:17
Speaker 5: on the bench.
14:19
Speaker 2: There's no doubt Bobby did that. All right, we will
14:23
Speaker 2: step away, take a break. We still got to kind
14:25
Speaker 2: of give you some of the matchups that we're gonna
14:27
Speaker 2: be looking at for this Clemson LSU one. Kind of
14:30
Speaker 2: some final thoughts there, some predictions for the game. We
14:33

18:16
Speaker 2: of the things we're gonna do here in this segment, Matthew,
18:18
Speaker 2: we're gonna look at some of the matchups that you
18:21
Speaker 2: could decide the game. And right now, our guy Hunt
18:24
Speaker 2: Palmer has an article up three matchups to watch LSU
18:28
Speaker 2: at Clemson on Louisiana Sports dot Net. Now for him,
18:32
Speaker 2: he's got the Clemson defensive line versus the LSU offensive line.
18:36
Speaker 2: All right, it's one of the big matchups everybody's gonna
18:38
Speaker 2: be paying attention to. He's got the Clemson receivers versus
18:41
Speaker 2: the LSU defensive backs certainly now with the aj Halsey news,
18:45
Speaker 2: that maybe even be at the top of the list.
18:49
Speaker 2: And then special teams was the last one there. And
18:52
Speaker 2: for special teams in LSU right now, I mean the
18:54
Speaker 2: returners that they have. And look, we could talk kicker
18:57
Speaker 2: and punter and stuff. I'm talking about the return game
18:59
Speaker 2: LSU has got. I mean Barry and Brown, they got
19:01
Speaker 2: Xavion Thomas a j and Ers from returned to kick
19:04
Speaker 2: for a touchdown a year ago. I mean, you've got
19:05
Speaker 2: plenty of options there, so certainly going to favor LSU
19:09
Speaker 2: in that matchup. But if I threw that question to you,
19:13
Speaker 2: if I said, all right, position versus position here versus there,
19:17
Speaker 2: where are you going?
19:20
Speaker 5: I got two that I'm looking at and it's not
19:24
Speaker 5: one of them is not positioned versus this coach versus coach.
19:26
Speaker 4: Okay, it's Blake Baker.
19:29
Speaker 2: Yep, how is he?
19:30
Speaker 5: How is that chess game so Blake Baker versus Garrett Riley? Yeah,
19:35
Speaker 5: so how is that chess game going to go between
19:37
Speaker 5: these two coaches? Of course, Blake Baker that we did
19:40
Speaker 5: a lot last year last season ls hu's defense, I
19:43
Speaker 5: would some would say it overachieved based on the talent
19:46
Speaker 5: levels that it have from top to bottom on the defense.
19:49
Speaker 5: Now we have filled this and of course I know
19:51
Speaker 5: that we are going to be missing one of our
19:53
Speaker 5: starting safeties for the first half.
19:54
Speaker 4: But how is that check?
19:56
Speaker 5: Like, the Clemson Tigers have a Heisman candidate quarterback who
19:59
Speaker 5: is dead with his feet, can be and deadly and
20:03
Speaker 5: accurate passer. So how can we get that guy move
20:06
Speaker 5: in east west and instead of north and south are
20:10
Speaker 5: How is Blake Baker's scheme? How is he going to
20:13
Speaker 5: use Harold Perkins? How is Harold Perkins? How can he
20:16
Speaker 5: get him in a position to affect the game? And
20:21
Speaker 5: so I'm just really curious how that's going to play
20:23
Speaker 5: out because I've watched film of Clemson and I've seen
20:27
Speaker 5: games where they are explosive. Then I've seen games where
20:29
Speaker 5: they struggled. So can Blake Baker kind of pick out
20:33
Speaker 5: what those teams did last year to make Kate CLEBMC
20:36
Speaker 5: feel uncomfortable, to make them struggle on third downs? Can
20:40
Speaker 5: he decide? Can he figure out what the game plan
20:43
Speaker 5: is to do that? So that is something I'm really curious.
20:45
Speaker 5: How are we going to use Harold Perkins and what
20:47
Speaker 5: is that? How is Blake Baker going to scheme up
20:52
Speaker 5: this Clemson this Clemson offense, because it's gonna what we
20:55
Speaker 5: see tomorrow is going to paint a pretty big picture
20:59
Speaker 5: for the rest of the season because of the offenses
21:01
Speaker 5: and the quarterbacks that we face that are kind of
21:03
Speaker 5: built in that same mold as Kate Clubnick. They can throw,
21:07
Speaker 5: but they are also very deadly with their feet. The
21:10
Speaker 5: next matchup that I'm looking at tomorrow is the LSU
21:13
Speaker 5: running game. Can we improve from last year? And it
21:16
Speaker 5: won't be hard. It's not gonna be hard to improve
21:19
Speaker 5: from the running game from twenty twenty four. So schematically,
21:24
Speaker 5: what are we doing? Are we being creative in the
21:27
Speaker 5: running game? Are our offensive linemen exploding off the ball?
21:31
Speaker 5: Are they moving their man back? Are they moving him backwards?
21:35
Speaker 5: Are we going backwards?
21:37
Speaker 4: Is there going to be.
21:39
Speaker 5: Daylight and holes that are running backs can use vision
21:43
Speaker 5: and and not have every get contacted at the at
21:48
Speaker 5: the line of scrimmage every single time and have to
21:50
Speaker 5: fight for one to two two and a half yards
21:52
Speaker 5: on first down? Can we stay on schedule with the
21:54
Speaker 5: running game? Because if the running game can be at least.
21:59
Speaker 4: Dangerous, it doesn't have to be the best.
22:01
Speaker 5: Running game in the country, because you do have an
22:04
Speaker 5: incredible passing game. But if it can at least be respectable,
22:08
Speaker 5: if we can at least stay on schedule on down
22:10
Speaker 5: and distance, and if we can at least threaten the
22:14
Speaker 5: defense that we can pick up three four five yards
22:16
Speaker 5: running the ball consistently, then Garrett Nusmeyer has an opportunity
22:21
Speaker 5: to go on one of these incredible seasons and going
22:25
Speaker 5: in one of these runs that is going to be
22:26
Speaker 5: one of the best passing seasons in LSU history. But
22:31
Speaker 5: it all starts with the running game. If we're gonna
22:33
Speaker 5: rely on get to the fifty to sixty times a game,
22:37
Speaker 5: look out, yep.
22:40
Speaker 2: I agree with the running game. It's got to go up.
22:42
Speaker 2: It's got to be more diverse. It's got to be
22:44
Speaker 2: something that teams respect. You can't just sit Garrett Nessmeyer
22:48
Speaker 2: back there and just every single time the defense knows
22:52
Speaker 2: exactly where the spot is right and he's just sitting
22:54
Speaker 2: there and they know what they can rush to.
22:57
Speaker 4: How do you do that?
22:58
Speaker 2: You slow them down, You run the football player pass,
23:01
Speaker 2: they've got the running back to do it. In Cayden Durham,
23:03
Speaker 2: we'll see if the offensive line will be able to
23:05
Speaker 2: hold up their end of the bargain. But it's got
23:08
Speaker 2: to be more diversity. It's got to be more than
23:11
Speaker 2: just inside zone. It's got to be outside zone. It's
23:13
Speaker 2: got to be power, it's got to be counter, it's
23:15
Speaker 2: got to be duo, it's got to be all these
23:16
Speaker 2: things that we talk about. Hey, get on the edge,
23:20
Speaker 2: you know, run, stretch, lead, whatever you got to do.
23:23
Speaker 2: Get the ball to Cayden Durham with an opportunity and
23:27
Speaker 2: with something that is more than just one singular style
23:31
Speaker 2: of run play. So, like, that's my big key to
23:34
Speaker 2: the run game is diversity in the run game. As
23:38
Speaker 2: far as like matchups, I mean, we talk about the
23:43
Speaker 2: Clemson defensive line versus the LSU offensive line. What about
23:46
Speaker 2: the LSU defensive line going against the Clemson offensive line.
23:50
Speaker 2: Their offensive line is not full of world beaters, it's
23:53
Speaker 2: not full of first round picks. I mean, it is
23:55
Speaker 2: a unit that certainly has had tough times in the past.
23:59
Speaker 2: And if this conversation was last year, I'd say it
24:03
Speaker 2: doesn't really matter. But LSU has done a couple of things.
24:06
Speaker 2: They've added players through the portal on their defensive front,
24:10
Speaker 2: they've got a player back from injury. And also those
24:13
Speaker 2: young guys that were forced to play as true freshmen
24:15
Speaker 2: last year are now going into their sophomore season. So
24:19
Speaker 2: you bring in Jack Pyburn from Florida, You bring in
24:22
Speaker 2: Patrick Payton from Florida State, you go get Butler from Nebraska.
24:27
Speaker 2: You go get Bernard Gooden from South Florida. Okay, that's
24:30
Speaker 2: who you bring in. You get Jacob and Guillery back
24:33
Speaker 2: from injury, Gaberellaford, Dominic, McKinley, A mob broke all those players.
24:41
Speaker 2: Now they've been through the fire. They understand what it is.
24:44
Speaker 2: They all had to play a ton as true freshmen.
24:47
Speaker 2: This defensive line room is so much more talented than
24:50
Speaker 2: it was a year ago. A year ago it was
24:52
Speaker 2: held together with Duck tape and super Blue. Now you've
24:55
Speaker 2: got some Jimmy's, you've got some Joe's, and oh yeah,
24:58
Speaker 2: you've got one of the most intense beings I've ever
25:01
Speaker 2: been around, and Kyle Williams coaching them every single day.
25:06
Speaker 2: If anybody's going to expect and ask you for your
25:10
Speaker 2: very best every single day, it is Kyle Williams. We're
25:15
Speaker 2: not talking enough about this defensive line going against that
25:17
Speaker 2: offensive line. And I understand while we're talking about the
25:21
Speaker 2: other I get that, I understand the question. Clemson's got
25:25
Speaker 2: two All Americans, you've got four new starters. But if
25:29
Speaker 2: you flip it, Clemson should be asking themselves about LSU's
25:33
Speaker 2: defensive line, where that was not a question a year ago.
25:38
Speaker 4: Yeah, they.
25:41
Speaker 5: I like how we keep bringing Kyle Williams up every
25:43
Speaker 5: when we talk about defensive line because we know this
25:46
Speaker 5: line is going to be very well coached. And going
25:51
Speaker 5: into a game, playing a quarterback like club Nick, you
25:55
Speaker 5: have to be you have to be so buttoned up
26:00
Speaker 5: with not making a mental air as a defensive lineman.
26:04
Speaker 5: And what I mean about mental air is you always
26:07
Speaker 5: have to be gap sound when you're rushing the quarterback.
26:10
Speaker 5: We talked yesterday about mistakes that teams made last year
26:15
Speaker 5: playing k club Neck. They rush north and south, all
26:19
Speaker 5: four of them. And when you do that, you create
26:22
Speaker 5: these huge windows of opportunity for a quarterback to not
26:26
Speaker 5: only see daylight, but to understand exactly what your body
26:30
Speaker 5: momentum is and the speed of what you're going up
26:33
Speaker 5: the field, so he knows which gaps I can run in.
26:36
Speaker 5: It just clears the way it makes it so easy.
26:39
Speaker 5: So when you play a running quarterback like this that
26:42
Speaker 5: can beat you and can make explosive plays, you have
26:45
Speaker 5: to be so.
26:46
Speaker 4: You have to have gap integrity.
26:47
Speaker 5: You have to rush not necessarily north south all the time,
26:51
Speaker 5: not with everybody at least, you have to do a
26:53
Speaker 5: little bit of east west as well. And you got
26:55
Speaker 5: to keep them in the pocket. You got to close
26:56
Speaker 5: those gaps. The distance between the center and the guard
26:59
Speaker 5: and guarden the tackle. You need to try to tighten
27:02
Speaker 5: that up as much as you can. You don't want
27:04
Speaker 5: three four five feet in between each guy because that
27:06
Speaker 5: makes it really easy for a quarterback to see where
27:08
Speaker 5: his window of opportunity is to beat the defense with
27:12
Speaker 5: his feet. So yeah, defensive line, I mean, I'm excited
27:15
Speaker 5: to see what kind of juice Jack Pivern brings to this,
27:18
Speaker 5: to this pass rush, and what kind of juice he
27:20
Speaker 5: brings just that off the defensive line. So I expect
27:23
Speaker 5: that defense to, you know, go out there. There's been
27:26
Speaker 5: a lot of talk, a lot of confidence I feel
27:28
Speaker 5: like coming out of training camp with with that defense.
27:32
Speaker 5: Excited to see how they come out and play with
27:33
Speaker 5: their hair on fire man. They're gonna be playing fast
27:35
Speaker 5: and hopefully they make some plays, but just going to
27:39
Speaker 5: be a battle of two really, really good teams. So
27:42
Speaker 5: I'm excited for these this opening game. I wouldn't want
27:45
Speaker 5: it any other way. I wouldn't want to be going
27:47
Speaker 5: out and playing.
27:51
Speaker 2: Some really small Arkansas.
27:52
Speaker 4: Wouldn't want to be playing central Arkansas. Did you just
27:55
Speaker 4: take it? Did you just take a swipe at Missouri?
27:59
Speaker 2: So they played yesterday?
28:00
Speaker 4: I know that's your team that George is playing.
28:03
Speaker 2: Marshall hate to the Austin p.
28:08
Speaker 5: Yeah.
28:09
Speaker 2: Give me a game that I'm sitting here and I've
28:11
Speaker 2: thought about for seven months.
28:13
Speaker 4: Better than Penn State.
28:14
Speaker 2: They played the State's got Nevada, f i U and
28:18
Speaker 2: Villa Nova their first three games.
28:22
Speaker 4: Beta moves Penn State.
28:23
Speaker 2: That's their non con games.
28:25
Speaker 5: Guys, you know what, won't you be a man and
28:28
Speaker 5: schedule Clemson on the road.
28:34
Speaker 4: That's it? That's it? Ye's it?
28:37
Speaker 2: All right?
28:37
Speaker 4: Again?
28:38
Speaker 2: A great article, buyer, Guy Hunt Palmer. You can check
28:40
Speaker 2: that out. Losing on Sports. Done that one one final
28:43
Speaker 2: thing here before we get out. I do like that
28:45
Speaker 2: he mentioned special teams. I know we've mentioned returners in
28:49
Speaker 2: a game like this, and I'm pretty sure Barrier Brown
28:52
Speaker 2: returned to kick for a touchdown against Clemson when he
28:55
Speaker 2: was at Kentucky, So he's got experience there as well.
28:57
Speaker 2: In a game like this, in a magnitude like this,
28:59
Speaker 2: when everything heightened, special teams can be that deciding factor.
29:02
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to sound like every single special teams
29:05
Speaker 2: coach and the history of football, but it is that
29:07
Speaker 2: third phase. It is a part of the game where
29:10
Speaker 2: you can steal possessions, you can steal points, field position,
29:13
Speaker 2: all of that. LSU has got the best returners in
29:16
Speaker 2: the country. I mean, when you have that many players,
29:19
Speaker 2: what do you have three guys that have returned to
29:21
Speaker 2: kick for a touchdown either a punt or a kickoff
29:24
Speaker 2: on your roster. That speaks for itself and so that
29:26
Speaker 2: is going to be crucial in this matchup. We'll step
29:29
Speaker 2: away kind of give you our prediction for this game.
29:32
Speaker 2: So got the pontoon parlay to put together. We have

32:19
Speaker 2: all right, would you like to kick it off?

Speaker 5: Yeah, lu prediction, So my prediction, I mean there's gonna
32:23
Speaker 5: be no shock we are. We are not afraid to
32:29
Speaker 5: pick LSU every single week.
32:31
Speaker 4: We are homers. We played for LSU. Okay, so sorry
32:34
Speaker 4: that we did, Derek that we did.
32:35
Speaker 5: Don't expect anything different from us. Yeah, LSU's gonna win.
32:40
Speaker 5: There's no doubt about it. I I think I said
32:43
Speaker 5: this Hunt had a station survey two weeks ago. I
32:46
Speaker 5: believe LSU wins by double digits. Even uh, I know,
32:49
Speaker 5: I get it. We haven't won five we haven't won
32:51
Speaker 5: the last five years. Well, this is the year and
32:54
Speaker 5: it's uh, it's gonna happen. You can feel confident l
32:57
Speaker 5: s U fans that LSU is gonna win this game.
33:00
Speaker 5: I feel ultra confident. Yeah, I felt ultra confident the
33:03
Speaker 5: last five years, but I felt even more ultra ultra
33:06
Speaker 5: confident this year. We are going to be tested. We
33:11
Speaker 5: are playing the best team we have faced on an
33:14
Speaker 5: opening game in a long time, and we are playing
33:16
Speaker 5: it in their house. But I think that is going
33:18
Speaker 5: to help us. I think the energy we are going
33:20
Speaker 5: to bring it. I think the talent is there. We
33:23
Speaker 5: have brought in the pieces to complete this puzzle, and
33:26
Speaker 5: I think our coaches are going to do a great job.
33:28
Speaker 5: I think we win by ten and which is going
33:30
Speaker 5: to boost Garrett Nsmeier to be the top one of
33:34
Speaker 5: the top Heisman contenders all season long. So that is
33:39
Speaker 5: how I feel, and I believe the score. Don't quote
33:43
Speaker 5: me on this, but I said it the other day.
33:45
Speaker 5: Thirty eight to twenty seven.
33:47
Speaker 2: Okay, LSU Tigers, all right again. We gave this out
33:52
Speaker 2: a couple of days ago to hunt palm where you
33:54
Speaker 2: can find that on Louisiana Sports Done Net. But I'll
33:58
Speaker 2: stay with my.
33:58
Speaker 5: Looking for an alternate line. Bet LSU minus nine and
34:02
Speaker 5: a half. That will pay, that'll pay, that'll pay, that
34:08
Speaker 5: might be turnover chain worthy.
34:13
Speaker 2: I'll say it is.
34:14
Speaker 5: Okay, that's my bull prediction, LSU minus nine and a half.
34:16
Speaker 2: Okay. I picked thirty one to twenty eights in favor
34:20
Speaker 2: of LSU a couple of days ago. I'm gonna stick
34:22
Speaker 2: with that. I think it is a game that features
34:26
Speaker 2: some really great plays on offense. I think both quarterbacks
34:30
Speaker 2: are going to make plays. I think there's going to be,
34:33
Speaker 2: you know, opportunities for some of these receivers from both teams.
34:36
Speaker 2: We've talked about so many times here in the build
34:39
Speaker 2: up the last seven months getting ready for this game.
34:41
Speaker 2: And I think they all show out. But I do
34:44
Speaker 2: think it is hey balls in Garrett ness Meyer's hand.
34:47
Speaker 2: There's you know, a minute and thirty seven seconds left.
34:50
Speaker 2: He gets it on his own thirty yard line. He
34:53
Speaker 2: drives LSU down there, they get in position. Boom, field
34:56
Speaker 2: goal goes through the upright as time expires. LSU wins.
34:59
Speaker 2: I think it's in dramatic fashion. I like LSU thirty
35:02
Speaker 2: one Clemson twenty eight. Let's throw it back to Studio
35:05
Speaker 2: Tata and Landro. What you got got, Tata? Oh you
35:10
Speaker 2: want me to go?
35:11
Speaker 7: I'll go very similar to Jake. I'm gonna go thirty
35:16
Speaker 7: to twenty eight LSU. I think Tigers are down in
35:19
Speaker 7: the fourth quarter. Garrett nel smart takes them on that
35:21
Speaker 7: fourth quarter drive, puts them ahead, sack on the defensive side,
35:25
Speaker 7: endstincts for Clemson when they get the ball back to
35:27
Speaker 7: try to go down and win that game. I think
35:29
Speaker 7: the Tigers get this one done, all right.
35:34
Speaker 8: I think the Tigers get it done because there's no way,
35:37
Speaker 8: absolutely no way, that we lose six openers in a row.
35:42
Speaker 8: I just refuse to believe it. If we do, then
35:44
Speaker 8: we're cursed, and it's just I don't even know what
35:49
Speaker 8: to think about it anymore. But my final score prediction
35:53
Speaker 8: is gonna be thirty eight thirty one LSU.
35:57
Speaker 2: All right, thirty eight thirty one. Eventually the losing streaks
36:00
Speaker 2: got to stop. Might as well start right now. Lsho's
36:03
Speaker 2: done a lot in the portal. They have tried to
36:05
Speaker 2: add to this roster. They have spent eighteen million dollars
36:08
Speaker 2: on this roster. I believe that's the number that I
36:10
Speaker 2: saw from Brian Kelly the other day. So look, if
36:14
Speaker 2: not now, then win, go ahead and break the curse.
36:16
Speaker 2: Go win a season opener for the first time since
36:20
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen when Joe Burrow, Jamar Chase, and Justin Jefferson.
36:24
Speaker 2: We're on this football team, all right. They're also going
36:27
Speaker 2: to give you now our picks for the pontoon parlay.
36:30
Speaker 2: I'll start us all so y'all can get y'alls ready.
36:33
Speaker 2: Mine is going to be a maction team on the
36:37
Speaker 2: road in the SEC to cover. Give me Toledo plus
36:43
Speaker 2: ten and a half versus the Kentucky Wildcats in Lexington.
36:49
Speaker 2: I think Toledo covers. Toledo absolutely ran through Mississippi State
36:54
Speaker 2: a year ago on the road. I don't know that
36:56
Speaker 2: they out right win the game. But I've got Toledo
37:00
Speaker 2: covering against Kentucky plus the ten and a half. I'll
37:03
Speaker 2: take that all day, Flea.
37:04
Speaker 5: Do you know much about the uh Toledo team this year?
37:08
Speaker 5: Do you just know plenty about Kentucky?
37:10
Speaker 4: To us?
37:10
Speaker 2: How your bet against Kentucky? Here a little bit of it.
37:14
Speaker 2: But no, Toledo actually a year ago was a good
37:17
Speaker 2: football team. As I mentioned, they went through Mississippi State,
37:21
Speaker 2: They had a couple of other big wins. They beat
37:23
Speaker 2: pitt in a bowl game in a six overtime bowl game,
37:26
Speaker 2: forty eight to forty six. I believe that was the
37:29
Speaker 2: game above Sports Bowl a year ago. So look, they're
37:33
Speaker 2: not gonna be scared. Last year they went into Startville,
37:35
Speaker 2: Mississippi and beat the Bulldogs forty one to seventeen. Wait,
37:40
Speaker 2: give me the Rockets to cover they be seventeen? Yeah, Startville. No,
37:45
Speaker 2: swear to God happened? Truth? I got Levy Yep, yep,
37:48
Speaker 2: that's unbelievable.
37:49
Speaker 4: I don't believe it. I don't believe it. All right,
37:52
Speaker 4: my pick for the point?
37:53
Speaker 2: No, you know what Levy felt after that?
37:57
Speaker 4: Well, preach, we haven't used this enough today.
38:03
Speaker 5: I know, I'm sorry, all right, my pick number two
38:06
Speaker 5: on the pond two parlay that will factually happen one
38:10
Speaker 5: hundred percent. I'm looking at the current lines for Texas
38:14
Speaker 5: Ohio state and trying to figure out if there's something happened.
38:19
Speaker 5: We just have some betting, some big dogs, some sharks
38:23
Speaker 5: coming out to bite right now and betting a lot
38:25
Speaker 5: on Texas. But on a line that has been that
38:28
Speaker 5: opened up on I think August tenth at plus three
38:31
Speaker 5: or three and a half for Texas, it's kind of
38:33
Speaker 5: stayed in that area and it's kind of slowly moved.
38:36
Speaker 4: It is a point plus.
38:39
Speaker 5: Texas is plus point five points, so basically a chalk
38:43
Speaker 5: matchup right now. From a betting perspective, I don't think
38:47
Speaker 5: Texas wins this game. I don't think Ark Manning has
38:52
Speaker 5: the game that people expect him to all over the country.
38:56
Speaker 5: I think he's going to be a great quarterback, but
38:59
Speaker 5: this is a big, big, big, big situation for him
39:02
Speaker 5: to get thrown in there first game as a full
39:06
Speaker 5: time starter.
39:07
Speaker 4: And it's eleven AM game.
39:09
Speaker 2: Quarterbacks hate playing eleven AM games.
39:11
Speaker 5: I just don't think he's gonna have that. It's I
39:14
Speaker 5: think they're a really, really good team. I don't think
39:16
Speaker 5: they are deserving of the number one rank just because
39:19
Speaker 5: they got a new court, just because of a lot
39:21
Speaker 5: of different things. But I don't think they are going
39:25
Speaker 5: into Ohio State Week one and beating them. Ohio State
39:30
Speaker 5: wins that game. We got them ranked number one on
39:32
Speaker 5: OTB Top twenty five poles, so it is a They
39:35
Speaker 5: are point five point favorites right now. I am taking
39:38
Speaker 5: that all day and going home with it. So give
39:41
Speaker 5: me Ohio State at minus point five. Crazy to have
39:47
Speaker 5: the line move though, like three points in two weeks.
39:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been movement.
39:51
Speaker 4: There has been.
39:52
Speaker 5: There are some big There are some people in Vegas
39:54
Speaker 5: right now laying some big dollars on the long hauns.
39:58
Speaker 2: All right's go back to Studio tit in a Landro
40:01
Speaker 2: give us your pick for the pontoon parlay.
40:03
Speaker 8: My pick for the pontoon parlay this week. And I'm
40:06
Speaker 8: glad Matt went first so that he couldn't snipe me
40:09
Speaker 8: on this one. But I am going to go Alabama
40:14
Speaker 8: versus Florida State. I'm gonna take the under in that
40:16
Speaker 8: game forty nine and a half. I have no idea
40:18
Speaker 8: what Ty Simpson's gonna do. So, I just don't know
40:21
Speaker 8: how much belief I know everybody's has him like at
40:25
Speaker 8: eight nine whatever. I just don't know how much belief
40:27
Speaker 8: I personally have in Alabama this season. So I'm gonna
40:30
Speaker 8: take the under in that game. Alabama FSU minus forty
40:36
Speaker 8: nine and a half.
40:37
Speaker 2: Heyay, yeah, I'll oh go ahead, go ahead. Oh I
40:48
Speaker 2: thought they were gonna I'll.
40:51
Speaker 7: Go South Carolina Virginia Tech.
40:53
Speaker 4: Here.
40:54
Speaker 7: Uh, South Carolina nine and a half point favorite right now.
40:57
Speaker 7: I know that's a big number, but Lenora sellers the
41:00
Speaker 7: hype train. Let's see how it goes Week one. Virginia
41:03
Speaker 7: Tech disappointing season a year ago. I don't expect that
41:06
Speaker 7: to turn around any Timson. So I'm gonna go South
41:08
Speaker 7: Carolina in Atlanta to cover the nine and a half
41:12
Speaker 7: against Virginia Tech.
41:15
Speaker 2: All right, So there it is on the pontoon parlay.
41:19
Speaker 2: Let's see, We've got Toledo plus ten and a half
41:22
Speaker 2: against Kentucky, You've got the under in the Alabama Florida
41:26
Speaker 2: State game. You've got the Buckeyes Ohio State to cover
41:30
Speaker 2: against the Texas Longhorns, and you've got South Carolina to
41:34
Speaker 2: cover against the Virginia Tech Hokies. Go ahead. It's called
41:38
Speaker 2: a pontoon parlay for a reason. You can put all
41:41
Speaker 2: those picks together and we're gonna go four for four.
41:45
Speaker 2: Go ahead and feel in that right now. Went two
41:47
Speaker 2: and two last week and so feeling good.
41:51
Speaker 4: This is a win. It's a Remember it's not gambling
41:52
Speaker 4: if you win, So this is a guaranteed win. Actually yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
