• 1:24
  Speaker 9: John Anderson, we learned yesterday, had passed away unexpectedly at
• 1:26
  Speaker 9: the age of 71.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: He had some great songs.
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: We'll be playing.
• 1:28
  Speaker 10: Some of those today on the program.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Coming up, we're going to hear from Lane Kiffin. The
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: fighting LSU Tigers going on the road to play the
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Auburn Tigers. High school report, Des Ricks, also the Clark
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Eisenhower outdoor edition in the second hour, including some nasty
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: animal attacks for you. And as we know, if they
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: happen in California, shame on the people who instigated them.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Ross Dellinger, who is pretty connected in college football, says
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: as part of the new agreement with ESPN, the CFP
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: cannot expand beyond 24 teams through the current six-year contract
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: through 2032. But ESPN can sub-license six of the 12
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: additional games to one new media partner, or TNT will
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: be allowed to extend their current sub-licensing agreement. Interesting story
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: on Yahoo, where the president of the University of Miami
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: is rattling chains. Miami positioning itself for a move into
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: the top financial stratosphere. He didn't say that the SEC
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: or the Big Ten want them, but He said, you
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: cannot lock us into a conference. Echevarria says the Big
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Ten and SEC are distributing an average of $ 25 million
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: more per school than the ACC and will probably double
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: that with the new TV contract. He says, we sit
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: in the second tier. It's a reason we don't get
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: a vote on the 2014 playoff. And the Big Ten
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: and SEC do. More college football tonight. James Madison undefeated
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: at Appalachian State. This could be a good game. This
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: is on the U. Liberty at Kennesaw State.
• 3:59
  Speaker 11: No.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: East Carolina at Memphis.
• 4:03
  Speaker 12: Meh.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: We'll see. More games tomorrow night before the full slate
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: on Saturday. We learned yesterday that former Texas A &
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: M football and track start Toya Jones out of Refurio
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: passed away after suffering a heart attack at the age
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: of 49. Uh, anyway, uh, Jones was best known for
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: basically a tackle that saved the big 12 championship game
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: in 1998 against Kansas state. He was also a track
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: star during his time. And, uh, told by most that
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: the best athlete ever to come out of Refurio. Steve
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Sarkeesian had a Zoom call with media that covers the
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: University of Texas today and said, somebody told me today
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: that we lost the Aw Shucks kid, speaking of Arch Mannings,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: you know, and we've created something else. I don't know
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: if we lost him, We created this, you know. We did,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: all of us, y'all included, me included, the whole thing.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Everybody on ESPN, we've created this. So we'll see what
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: comes out of it. He's edgy right now. I appreciate
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: that about him. At some point, he's got to fight back.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: The best way to fight back is playing good football
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: with his teammates and enjoying playing good football with his teammates.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to watching him compete on Saturday. The
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Longhorns host Ole Miss Saturday evening. Utah senior defensive tackle
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Jamal Wallace is under investigation for the alleged sexual assault
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: of a woman and is also accused of sharing videos
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: of the incident on social media. Wallace was suspended indefinitely
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: from the Utes program earlier this month. He was arrested
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: October 11th for distributing an image and faces five misdemeanor counts.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: The arrest documents say he is also being investigated for
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: sexual assault. I don't know if he did or didn't
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: do this, but if he posted anything like that on
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: social media... He should be kicked off the team for
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: just being an idiot, if nothing else. Just reprehensible. Troy
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Aikman's future with ESPN looks like it's coming to a close.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: And this morning, his options got a little more limited.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: CBS announced they are signing J.J. Watt to a contract
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: extension to be the lead analyst. with Jim Nance on
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: NFL football after the network parted ways with Tony Romo.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Aikman's in the final year of a contract with ESPN.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: He and Joe Buck made the jump from Fox in
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: 2022 and have been broadcast partners for 25 years. Highly regarded.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: But tensions have been mounting because Buck agreed to a six-year,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: $ 108 million contract extension last month. Aikman has not received
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: an offer and is in the final year of his deal.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: The tensions apparently boiled over on air a couple of
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: weeks ago. Cornell Green never played college football. He played
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: basketball at Utah State when the Dallas Cowboys signed him
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: as an undrafted free agent in 1962. He played 13
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: years for the Cowboys, Pro Bowl honors, won a Super Bowl,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: spent nearly 30 years scouting for the Denver Broncos. The
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Cowboys releasing a statement saying we are sad to share
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: the news of the passing of of legend Cornell Green.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Cornell was a true trailblazer, having never played football, yet
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: becoming a multi-time pro bowler, all-pro, and NFL Super Bowl champion.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: He was also a member of the 25th anniversary Cowboy teams.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: He never missed a game in 13 seasons. He was
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: 86 years old. It is reprehensible that Cornell Green is
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: not in the team's ring of honor. And the Big
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Five is no more. The Big Five, coined by Philadelphia
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Inquirer sports writer Herb Good, in 1954, when schools around
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia began playing a round-robin city series against The first
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: game was 68 years ago when St. Joe's beat Villanova
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: in front of 2,636 fans at the famed Palestra. Villanova
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: is leaving the Big Five after this season. The Classic
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: will feature teams on December 5th of this year. Founding
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: members Penn, LaSalle, Temple and St. Joseph's will remain Drexel,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: which was added in 2023. Uh, so they will continue playing,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: but not Villa Nova. Uh, Villanova said in a statement, well,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: it was a joint statement, the resumption of a consistent
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: round-robin format featuring both home and away contests will sustain
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: traditional rivalries while providing valuable scheduling stability. In an increasingly
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: complex Division I, yada, yada, yada. In other words, they're
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: not playing at the Polestar anymore. It doesn't hold enough fans.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: They're playing at bigger arenas so they can get more money. Yes,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: that's very complex. When you start hearing about complex things
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: in amateur sports, three words. Follow me. The money.
• 10:51
  Speaker 12: Always.
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: We're going to hear from LSU coach Lane Kiffin when
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: we come back. After this, for ANCO Insurance.
• 11:05
  Speaker 13: Anco Insurance is now a part of Hub International, bringing
• 11:09
  Speaker 13: you more choices, better value, and even greater expertise. While
• 11:12

• 12:27
  Speaker 6: Way across town the phone rings off the wall. If
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: you know he ain't home, why.
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: Do you keep calling?
• 12:35
  Speaker 10: You're going to drive yourself.
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: Crazy and you know that it's true.
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: He's just making.
• 12:41
  Speaker 15: You wild and blue.
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: Wild and blue.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: One of the big hits from the now late great
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: John Anderson, Country Music Hall of Famer. I hope you
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: saw the Dolly special last night live on ABC. It
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: was terrifically produced. A great show. We're going to try
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: to hit a couple of songs from that before the
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: show is over. Meantime, we're going to play a couple
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: of my other favorite John Anderson songs. As I mentioned,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: LSU-Auburn coming up this weekend among, you know... It's intriguing.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I tell you, there are a lot of teams beaten
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: up right now, and we're only halfway through. LSU defensively
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: has lost some really good players. This little segment is
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: going to open with Lane Kiffin castigating one of the
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: reporters who apparently took umbrage with LSU's defensive effort. Kiffin
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: is trying to explain, hey, We have lost not only
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: three starters, but the three best starters and best leaders
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: that we have on defense. Here's Lane Kiffin.
• 14:12
  Speaker 7: Just for the record, I can't really have an infinite situation.
• 14:16
  Speaker 7: We don't have Whitley, DeSean Spears, and he will play
• 14:19
  Speaker 7: seven plays in the game. Those are three all-American type players.
• 14:25
  Speaker 12: And still shut you out.
• 14:26
  Speaker 16: Hey, Coach, rising to the occasion on the road after
• 14:29
  Speaker 16: the first two road games the way they went, Jordan-Hare Stadium,
• 14:33
  Speaker 16: about 90,000, big place. So just those challenges and the
• 14:37
  Speaker 16: challenge of the team this week.
• 14:39
  Speaker 12: Yeah, a really electric place. I've been there a lot.
• 14:42
  Speaker 12: I'm part of the Iron Bowls and kind of magical place.
• 14:48
  Speaker 7: And so, you know, we're going to have to pray
• 14:50
  Speaker 7: really well and be ready to play in a really–
• 14:53
  Speaker 7: loud environment that they play really well at.
• 14:58
  Speaker 12: It's always about preparation and preparing.
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: Really well, practicing really well, and then when you go
• 15:03
  Speaker 7: in there, making less mistakes than that.
• 15:05
  Speaker 12: A lot of times on the.
• 15:06
  Speaker 7: Road, as you break down your losses and close losses,
• 15:10
  Speaker 7: they're usually not as much how many plays they make.
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: It's more the mistakes you make and more penalties, more
• 15:16
  Speaker 7: false starts, and more turnovers than when you play at home.
• 15:23
  Speaker 17: Lane, Sam said after the game Saturday that he felt
• 15:25
  Speaker 17: like they were progressing in the offense, getting the offense,
• 15:29
  Speaker 17: and more room to grow. What is your perspective on it?
• 15:33
  Speaker 17: I mean, obviously you never want to be totally satisfied,
• 15:35
  Speaker 17: but how do you feel? What kind of growth do
• 15:39
  Speaker 17: you see with the offense?
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: You know, I said before the season that I felt
• 15:46
  Speaker 7: like any time that you put together these programs, portal teams,
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: but especially a portal side of the ball, which our
• 15:51
  Speaker 7: offense is more than our defense. You know, because there
• 15:55
  Speaker 7: were some really good returning players on defense that stayed here.
• 15:58
  Speaker 12: The offense, especially without Tredez, is really.
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: Almost all portal players, but two linemen, right?
• 16:06
  Speaker 12: So, I think in that usually, as we've.
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: Studied over time, you know, that takes a little bit
• 16:13
  Speaker 7: of time in that we play better middle to late
• 16:15
  Speaker 7: of the year when we've had that happen with teams. So,
• 16:19
  Speaker 7: Maybe that's part of it. I'm sure that's part of it.
• 16:21
  Speaker 7: I'm sure Sam missing all the spring.
• 16:26
  Speaker 12: That's the difference sometimes.
• 16:27
  Speaker 7: You've got all those bankrupts of a play and you
• 16:29
  Speaker 7: get off of a guy a little bit early down
• 16:31
  Speaker 7: in the red.
• 16:31
  Speaker 12: Zone and you don't get the touchdown. You settle for
• 16:34
  Speaker 12: a field goal and stuff.
• 16:35
  Speaker 7: I think part of that is experience of playing with
• 16:39
  Speaker 7: each other and experience within the system.
• 16:44
  Speaker 18: After a wild weekend in the SEC, as a coach,
• 16:47
  Speaker 18: have you noticed when things like that happen, help to
• 16:51
  Speaker 18: get your team's attention? Is that something that you will
• 16:54
  Speaker 18: talk to them about? How do you view that, and
• 16:56
  Speaker 18: is it a benefit for you in any way?
• 17:01
  Speaker 12: I mean, I think they see it. You're playing a
• 17:04
  Speaker 12: team that just beat the number one team in the country.
• 17:07
  Speaker 7: And really the adding of the ninth game really replaces
• 17:12
  Speaker 7: what were probably usually 16 wins. And so you get,
• 17:17
  Speaker 7: you take away, they didn't replace the power four game.
• 17:19
  Speaker 7: You know, they replaced the group of six game. So
• 17:22
  Speaker 7: you would add another one of those early as you're
• 17:23
  Speaker 7: still trying to figure out your team. And they kind
• 17:26
  Speaker 7: of said when it was proposed, I said, okay, well
• 17:30
  Speaker 7: you're going to take on eight more losses. I mean,
• 17:32
  Speaker 7: that's going to be real. There's no way of changing
• 17:34
  Speaker 7: the math that's going to happen. And, um, so you
• 17:37
  Speaker 7: see that, I think somebody said there's two sec teams
• 17:40
  Speaker 7: in the.
• 17:41
  Speaker 12: Top 10 right now.
• 17:42
  Speaker 7: Um, Before it started, I said, take away the first
• 17:47
  Speaker 7: SEC game that you play because that's going to be
• 17:48
  Speaker 7: brand new.
• 17:49
  Speaker 12: The ninth one came.
• 17:50
  Speaker 7: Early and got added and replaced an early win. Where's
• 17:54
  Speaker 7: that going to put you?
• 17:57
  Speaker 12: Look at this team. If you took away their first
• 18:00
  Speaker 12: SEC loss.
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: And it was just a win versus a group of
• 18:04
  Speaker 7: six teams, they'd be a top.
• 18:06
  Speaker 12: Ten team right now.
• 18:07
  Speaker 7: They'd have one loss on the road at Tennessee to
• 18:09
  Speaker 7: a really good team. Somehow now, because of adding an
• 18:13
  Speaker 7: extra game, they're not even ranked. You know, they just
• 18:16
  Speaker 7: beat the number one team in the country. So it's
• 18:19
  Speaker 7: just where football is, and they can't see like they
• 18:22
  Speaker 7: do in basketball or baseball metrics.
• 18:26
  Speaker 12: So that's what it.
• 18:29
  Speaker 11: Is.
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: Does it open your window a little bit more, though?
• 18:32
  Speaker 18: I mean, is there a plus to it at all?
• 18:34
  Speaker 12: No. It's not.
• 18:37
  Speaker 7: You're in– just see teams with more– more losses and
• 18:41
  Speaker 7: more beat up. And there's so much into it more
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: than just the losses. You know, it's at a time
• 18:45
  Speaker 7: when because of it, I'm not complaining, I'm saying what
• 18:48
  Speaker 7: it is, because of portal that you can leave every
• 18:50
  Speaker 7: year in NIL, you see players going from teams for
• 18:53
  Speaker 7: more money and they go to another team in conference.
• 18:56
  Speaker 12: And that's fine. That is what it is. But at
• 18:58
  Speaker 12: the same time.
• 18:59
  Speaker 7: That you see that where it's so hard for teams
• 19:00
  Speaker 7: to build depth after their top players, don't add more
• 19:04
  Speaker 7: conference games, you know, Because now you've got what you've got.
• 19:08
  Speaker 7: And then you want to talk about not letting portal
• 19:12
  Speaker 7: players in in the conference also and limiting that.
• 19:15
  Speaker 12: We'll have no top 10 teams.
• 19:20
  Speaker 19: Coach, what makes winning on the road in the SEC
• 19:22
  Speaker 19: tougher than, say, the Big 10, the old Pac-12, some
• 19:27
  Speaker 19: of these other conferences?
• 19:28
  Speaker 12: What makes it a more unique challenge? Well, I just
• 19:31
  Speaker 12: think first off, it's a deeper conference.
• 19:35
  Speaker 7: And again, I've said this before, it's no You can
• 19:37
  Speaker 7: win because your number one seed is better like the
• 19:40
  Speaker 7: last couple years, which is true.
• 19:41
  Speaker 12: And credit to Big Ten.
• 19:43
  Speaker 7: That doesn't mean that your conference is deeper because you
• 19:45
  Speaker 7: win the national championship.
• 19:47
  Speaker 12: So our middle to bottom.
• 19:49
  Speaker 7: whoever you declare those teams, those are still really hard
• 19:52
  Speaker 7: places to play. I mean, what you just said, we
• 19:57
  Speaker 7: haven't won on the road at LSU in 24 months,
• 20:01
  Speaker 7: but yet there's one other non-conference road game, Zach Clemson,
• 20:05
  Speaker 7: and LSU won.
• 20:06
  Speaker 12: So, I mean, it's real in the conference.
• 20:11
  Speaker 20: Coach, is there any updates on trade as in weight
• 20:13
  Speaker 20: and their injury status?
• 20:14
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean, if we have something, it'll be Wednesday.
• 20:23
  Speaker 19: It'll be a big talking point all week about a
• 20:26
  Speaker 19: letdown spot for Auburn after winning on the road. I'm
• 20:28
  Speaker 19: curious in your experience, NFL or college, is that something
• 20:31
  Speaker 19: that we all talk about or is that a real
• 20:33
  Speaker 19: thing internally at either level where you protect against a
• 20:38
  Speaker 19: letdown after a big win?
• 20:40
  Speaker 12: No, that's a, that's a real thing.
• 20:41
  Speaker 7: Relief syndrome is, is real and doesn't mean we're going
• 20:44
  Speaker 7: to win this week and they're going to lose, but that.
• 20:47
  Speaker 12: Is a real thing. That's a real challenge.
• 20:49
  Speaker 7: Um, and especially now I say, I say all the time,
• 20:53
  Speaker 7: I think it's a harder challenge now because of all
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: the access on their phones of, of people and media
• 20:58
  Speaker 7: and all the stuff they see in social media. So,
• 21:02
  Speaker 7: you know, start to be told how great you are.
• 21:04
  Speaker 7: You know, when you have those ones, I was rooting
• 21:06
  Speaker 7: for them at the end of the game to win,
• 21:07
  Speaker 7: you know, when we were playing the next week. Um,
• 21:10
  Speaker 7: just because that just makes it more challenging.
• 21:15
  Speaker 21: Coach, a couple stats and a couple questions for you.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 21:18
  Speaker 21: In a minute for me. 323 days on the job.
• 21:24
  Speaker 21: From a football standpoint, what's been the toughest job for
• 21:27
  Speaker 21: you and your staff to rebuild this LSU football program?
• 21:33
  Speaker 22: Hmm.
• 21:36
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 21:37
  Speaker 12: I don't probably have a really good answer to that.
• 21:38
  Speaker 12: There's so much in.
• 21:40
  Speaker 7: When you come in, it's always been that way. But nowadays,
• 21:43
  Speaker 7: because of poor, you just got to, you know, it's like.
• 21:46
  Speaker 12: Turn around a train. And that's got nothing to do
• 21:48
  Speaker 12: with how it was done before. It just is.
• 21:50
  Speaker 7: Because not just you come in and change so much,
• 21:52
  Speaker 7: then you got to change the roster so much. And
• 21:54
  Speaker 7: so that does make it easier in some ways than
• 21:57
  Speaker 7: it used to be. But I think probably the challenge,
• 22:03
  Speaker 7: really the unexpected challenge, was the injuries.
• 22:04
  Speaker 12: And I'm not complaining.
• 22:06
  Speaker 7: I understand injuries happen, but the significance of ours with dynamic,
• 22:11
  Speaker 7: all-American type of players that were playing that way and
• 22:14
  Speaker 7: the leadership skills, and you have two sevens not playing.
• 22:18
  Speaker 12: In an era where we were built top-heavy.
• 22:22
  Speaker 7: I just think that was the best way to win,
• 22:25
  Speaker 7: was to do that. You did have these marquee, really
• 22:28
  Speaker 7: good players. We built a team to be able to
• 22:31
  Speaker 7: play against anybody and Those were really challenging injuries, and
• 22:39
  Speaker 7: not just because of the players that are behind them,
• 22:40
  Speaker 7: but because of who they are from a leadership standpoint
• 22:44
  Speaker 7: in your first year together.
• 22:47
  Speaker 21: Second to that, Coach, 10 for 12, one-fourth down. Do
• 22:52
  Speaker 21: you think you're coaching with the same mindset, aggressiveness, confidence,
• 22:55
  Speaker 21: and swag at LSU as you were at Ole Miss
• 22:59
  Speaker 21: the last three years?
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 23:04
  Speaker 12: I don't know that that's swag. I think that's just–
• 23:08
  Speaker 12: I know what it is.
• 23:09
  Speaker 7: I'm looking at the whole team, you know, and we've
• 23:12
  Speaker 7: played really good defense most of the year in critical situations,
• 23:16
  Speaker 7: and that goes into that. And there's been time over
• 23:18
  Speaker 7: those years that we weren't as good on defense, you know,
• 23:21
  Speaker 7: at Ole Miss. So we were more aggressive. That's not
• 23:24
  Speaker 7: anything to do with our offensive players. That's, you know–
• 23:30
  Speaker 7: Like I told the players, I was like, okay, you
• 23:32
  Speaker 7: can't just go for it every fourth down because you
• 23:33
  Speaker 7: believe in your players. And the first fourth and ten
• 23:36
  Speaker 7: of the game, you're just going to go because you've
• 23:38
  Speaker 7: got swag. I mean, you've got to make– they pay
• 23:41
  Speaker 7: you a lot of money to make really educated decisions
• 23:44
  Speaker 7: in hard situations. So I'm always looking at that and
• 23:48
  Speaker 7: looking at exactly who our team is on that day
• 23:50
  Speaker 7: and how things are going and freaking wind and everything
• 23:53
  Speaker 7: that's going on. So that's why maybe at times– It
• 23:56
  Speaker 7: hasn't seemed as aggressive because I've been playing to a
• 23:59
  Speaker 7: really good defense in that situation.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: That's Lane Kiffin, and he took on some interesting topics,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: some that we've been talking about a little bit. He
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: talked about the depth of the league, the difficulty of
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: winning on the road, the difficulty of getting ready to
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: play after a huge win. I thought it was interesting
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: with the depth. He said, look, we built the roster...
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: Top heavy, as he called it. In other words, they
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: spent a lot of money on some really key players.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: When those players get injured, there's not depth behind them.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: During Nick's run at Alabama before NIL, I would argue
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: that some players of his second team offenses and defenses
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: may have been among the top five teams in the country.
• 25:04
  Speaker 10: Right?
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: They were winning national championships and their second team probably
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: could have contended for a national championship. That's how much
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: depth they had. Nobody's got that anymore. Nobody. Because of
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: the money being spent to get these top And you
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: can take any team you want and look at that.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: And when you make bad decisions, you're going to lose.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: And I think we've seen some of that here. I
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: know we've seen some of it in other places. The
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: players didn't turn out to be who they thought they were.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: And you're stuck because you don't have anybody behind them
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: that's better You're paying these guys a lot of money
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: to win and to perform, and if it doesn't happen,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: you're not digging around on the bench to find somebody
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: that's equal because they're not there. I thought it was interesting.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: He said we're missing two sevens. In case you don't know,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: the number seven is like at LSU is a little
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: like the number 12 here, right? It's for special players, okay?
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: They get to wear the number seven. I think that
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: was Burt Jones' number at LSU. We got one out
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: on offense and one out on defense, I believe. And
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: then he talked about, he was asked, well, you don't
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: have as much swag as you used to. You're not
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: going for it as much on fourth down as you
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: did when you were at Ole Miss. And I like
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: the answer. He goes, hey. It depends on the situation.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: It depends on the defense. It depends on, you know,
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: you don't line up and go for fourth and ten
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: in the first quarter. I mean, I think I've seen
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: him do it before. I saw Coach Leach do it.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: I saw the BYU coach call a fake punt from
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: his own 25-yard line. That was the height of stupidity.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: Have I mentioned that this week, by the way? I
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: think I have. I still don't know what he was thinking.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: But he did say, look, we're paid a lot of
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: money to make these decisions. And they are. He said,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: sometimes analytics comes into it. Sometimes you got to coach
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: by the gut and not analytics. By the way, to
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: all these coaches out here listening to me today, quit
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: going for two. I'm just telling you right now, quit
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: chasing points and going for two. First quarter, second quarter,
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: Third quarter. There's times and places you have to. If
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: you don't have to, quit doing it. Because it's stupid.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: That is proven analytics, by the way. You know, they
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: all have a chart going, well, if you're behind by
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: this much, you go for two. I don't know where
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: those charts came from. I don't know who made those charts.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: They're wrong.
• 28:16
  Speaker 12: Okay?
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: If you're down.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: Let's say if you're ahead by one in the first
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: quarter or the second quarter or even the third quarter,
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: kick the freaking extra point. Because analytics will tell you
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: you start chasing points, you're going to lose. Look, for
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: all you administrators out there, I will. I will talk
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: to your coaching staff, and I will be a consultant
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: for half of what you're paying your head coaches right now.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: I will come in and make them better coaches immediately.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I'll do. I know there's rules
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: probably against this, so I can't stand on the sideline.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: But I would. And tell the coach, hey, You're under
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: a lot of stress and pressure right now. This is
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: a stupid decision you're making. Kind of like the fake
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: punt at Brigham Young last Saturday night. Somebody needed to
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: tell him, Coach, we're ahead in this game. And it's
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. You probably ought to punt the ball.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: And you're on your own 20%. 25-yard line. I would
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: punt the ball, Coach. So, these are the kinds of
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: decisions I'll help you make. Because some people out there
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: aren't very good.
• 29:55
  Speaker 11: At it, apparently.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: All right, coming up. We've got a high school report.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: We're going to hear from Des Ricks. We have our
• 30:03

• 33:13
  Speaker 24: Welcome into the High School Report. I'm Caleb Rapley, and
• 33:16
  Speaker 24: today we are jumping out to the Polaris Fun Center
• 33:19
  Speaker 24: phone line to visit with the head coach. of the
• 33:22
  Speaker 24: Belton Tigers football team, Mr.
• 33:24
  Speaker 12: Josh Mann.
• 33:25
  Speaker 24: Coach, thanks for joining me today.
• 33:27
  Speaker 16: Yeah, thank you.
• 33:27
  Speaker 11: I appreciate y'all having me on. Yes, sir.
• 33:31
  Speaker 24: Well, we are in the thick of District 8, 5A
• 33:35
  Speaker 24: Division II football schedule here now. You've got a couple
• 33:38
  Speaker 24: district games under your belt, and your Tigers have had
• 33:41
  Speaker 24: a very solid season, sitting at 5-2 overall and 2-0
• 33:45
  Speaker 24: in district play. So what have been some of the
• 33:47
  Speaker 24: keys to success for you your belting team so far
• 33:51
  Speaker 24: this year?
• 33:52
  Speaker 11: Well, I think a lot of it leads on our
• 33:53
  Speaker 11: senior leadership. These young men that are seniors right now
• 33:56
  Speaker 11: put a lot of time in the last couple of
• 33:58
  Speaker 11: years prior to me getting here, but they have a
• 34:01
  Speaker 11: lot of varsity experience on the field and growing together,
• 34:04
  Speaker 11: and it was just a real focus group, and they
• 34:07
  Speaker 11: made this transition coming into this late spring, early summer,
• 34:11
  Speaker 11: to be able to be where we're sitting right now, 5-2,
• 34:13
  Speaker 11: and like you said, 2-0 in district, give a lot
• 34:16
  Speaker 11: of credit to them and the coaching staff, that couple
• 34:19
  Speaker 11: guys that we were able to bring in with new coordinators,
• 34:21
  Speaker 11: but also the staff that stayed all unifying under one
• 34:24
  Speaker 11: belief and system, and it's been really a fun transition.
• 34:28
  Speaker 24: Yeah, so it is a very experienced team, brought back almost,
• 34:32
  Speaker 24: I think a little over half of the starters from
• 34:34
  Speaker 24: last season's team, which I know in the first year
• 34:37
  Speaker 24: of a new head coach, that doesn't always make as
• 34:41
  Speaker 24: much of an impact as it does when it's the
• 34:43
  Speaker 24: same administration. But I'm sure that's been a big advantage
• 34:46
  Speaker 24: for you. Who are some of the players that have
• 34:47
  Speaker 24: stood out as far as younger players that that are
• 34:52
  Speaker 24: getting an opportunity this season?
• 34:54
  Speaker 11: Yeah, some of our younger guys that have really jumped out,
• 34:56
  Speaker 11: you know, on the defensive side, that they had some
• 34:58
  Speaker 11: starting experience. But, you know, Oakley Torres, who's returning as
• 35:01
  Speaker 11: a junior, has really, you know, set the court for
• 35:03
  Speaker 11: our linebackers. Outside linebacker Alex Carpenter had a pretty good early,
• 35:08
  Speaker 11: you know, as a sophomore, played well and, you know,
• 35:10
  Speaker 11: came in. He's really... Helped us, but then you look
• 35:13
  Speaker 11: up front, a guy named Kanan Smith, who was on
• 35:17
  Speaker 11: the JV last year as a defensive lineman, now leading
• 35:19
  Speaker 11: us in pressures and sacks, and he's really helped anchor
• 35:22
  Speaker 11: down that defensive line group, so I've been real proud
• 35:24
  Speaker 11: of them. And then our corner play between Anthony Anderson, Zion,
• 35:29
  Speaker 11: And Anthony Garcia really helped step up with the law
• 35:33
  Speaker 11: of our senior leadership that has been there on that
• 35:35
  Speaker 11: defensive side. You know, offensively, we've got some real big
• 35:39
  Speaker 11: sophomores jump in at running back through some injuries. Brody
• 35:41
  Speaker 11: Lee's really carried some weight the last couple weeks as
• 35:44
  Speaker 11: we're getting a couple running backs back in our system.
• 35:48
  Speaker 11: And then, you know, some of our sophomore receivers have
• 35:51
  Speaker 11: stepped up in different ways to make this program start
• 35:54
  Speaker 11: really kind of clicking in the direction we want it to.
• 35:56
  Speaker 24: So before you came to Belton, you were at Leander
• 36:00
  Speaker 24: Rouse High School for many years. So, you know, what
• 36:04
  Speaker 24: are some things that you learned in that job that
• 36:06
  Speaker 24: you've been able to carry over to being the head
• 36:09
  Speaker 24: coach here for the Tigers?
• 36:10
  Speaker 11: Well, it was a unique experience. And, you know, I
• 36:13
  Speaker 11: got to open that campus in 2008 and, you know,
• 36:16
  Speaker 11: grew it, you know, where you don't have any seniors
• 36:18
  Speaker 11: to develop into the program. We made some nice runs,
• 36:21
  Speaker 11: but we also at times, you know, with the growth
• 36:23
  Speaker 11: of that Leander Austin area, you You don't have other
• 36:27
  Speaker 11: schools opening in around us. And so it went from
• 36:29
  Speaker 11: so many different phases that while I was there, too.
• 36:33
  Speaker 11: And all through those phases, you learn different things. You're
• 36:35
  Speaker 11: the they're the biggest school in the division. Then you
• 36:38
  Speaker 11: drop to the smallest and then you've got to reshape
• 36:40
  Speaker 11: because you lost this percentage of kids in this part
• 36:43
  Speaker 11: of the neighborhood. Now you've got a different group of
• 36:45
  Speaker 11: clientele coming in. And so just all those, even though
• 36:48
  Speaker 11: it was one stay for 18 years in one spot,
• 36:50
  Speaker 11: I feel like it went through three different transformations, three
• 36:52
  Speaker 11: different schools during that time. And each time we had
• 36:55
  Speaker 11: to reset and do it. So kind of coming in
• 36:57
  Speaker 11: here and looking at that, it was, I think some
• 36:59
  Speaker 11: advantages up in there, but just also being able to
• 37:02
  Speaker 11: have the ability to stay in one place and learn
• 37:04
  Speaker 11: from your mistakes. There were some years that we did
• 37:06
  Speaker 11: not do as well as we'd hope. And then we
• 37:07
  Speaker 11: had some great runs. And so just taking those experiences and,
• 37:11
  Speaker 11: But coaching kids is coaching kids. It's about developing relationships
• 37:14
  Speaker 11: and trusting them and putting them in positions where they
• 37:16
  Speaker 11: can have fun but also play competitively and get after people.
• 37:20
  Speaker 24: So District 8 is a little bit of a smaller
• 37:22
  Speaker 24: district relative to how many of the other ones are structured,
• 37:26
  Speaker 24: only six teams. So that means that exactly half of
• 37:31
  Speaker 24: your games in the regular season are non-district and the
• 37:34
  Speaker 24: other half are district. So I've heard it both ways
• 37:37
  Speaker 24: from coaches in District 8. um, about whether that's an
• 37:41
  Speaker 24: advantage or a disadvantage. So do you like having, you know,
• 37:44
  Speaker 24: five games to warm up for district play, or would
• 37:46
  Speaker 24: you rather be getting into it earlier in the season?
• 37:50
  Speaker 11: I would rather just honestly have four, I think five,
• 37:53
  Speaker 11: or just, you, you just, after four games, you kind
• 37:56
  Speaker 11: of get a chance to really trust your identity, play
• 37:58
  Speaker 11: some different type of opponents and get yourself ready for
• 38:00
  Speaker 11: district at five. You, you know, you're kind of ready
• 38:02
  Speaker 11: to start that next phase to me and go into
• 38:05
  Speaker 11: district play. And, you know, injuries are going to happen
• 38:09
  Speaker 11: regardless of what time you play. It doesn't matter if
• 38:10
  Speaker 11: you get hurt week one in district or week five
• 38:13
  Speaker 11: and in a non-district game, but you hope to, you know,
• 38:16
  Speaker 11: just as another risk that you're playing a game that
• 38:18
  Speaker 11: means only to my record, but not to improving us
• 38:21
  Speaker 11: for chances from playoffs. And so I would like to,
• 38:24
  Speaker 11: I'd always like to have at least four non three
• 38:27
  Speaker 11: non-district game. I think it's the minimum. I don't like
• 38:29
  Speaker 11: it where you get just two non-district games, but four
• 38:32
  Speaker 11: to me is the ideal number six district games forward.
• 38:35
  Speaker 11: And you were able to roll from there.
• 38:37
  Speaker 24: So having, you know, all of that time to learn
• 38:41
  Speaker 24: your team before district play, what would you say are
• 38:45
  Speaker 24: some of the biggest strengths of this Tiger team and
• 38:48
  Speaker 24: then maybe one of the biggest weaknesses as well?
• 38:52
  Speaker 11: I mean, strength-wise, we found out that we can be
• 38:55
  Speaker 11: very explosive both on the defense and offensive side. I mean,
• 38:58
  Speaker 11: we've created a ton of turnovers this year. We've scored
• 39:01
  Speaker 11: explosive points. We're still learning, though, on both sides to
• 39:04
  Speaker 11: be consistent and consistent throughout. We sometimes get, you know,
• 39:09
  Speaker 11: with the new systems in place and sometimes not having
• 39:12
  Speaker 11: that comfortability of understanding what's, you know, kind of the
• 39:15
  Speaker 11: flow and game that we sometimes, you know, maybe put
• 39:19
  Speaker 11: too much pressure or stress in some situations where we
• 39:21
  Speaker 11: just relax and trust what's going to happen next. But
• 39:25
  Speaker 11: I think we're learning that. And last week was a
• 39:27
  Speaker 11: great test for us in that. We kind of were
• 39:29
  Speaker 11: down at half an inch. had a great second half.
• 39:31
  Speaker 11: And we're starting to put those things together. And it's
• 39:34
  Speaker 11: just starting to slowly gel. And it's just been fun.
• 39:37
  Speaker 11: I mean, in the non-district, we played some really good
• 39:39
  Speaker 11: 6As and some tough 5AD1 teams to get ourselves ready
• 39:42
  Speaker 11: for this opportunity. But This back half of the district
• 39:45
  Speaker 11: with Ellison, Waco, you and Brenham is going to be
• 39:48
  Speaker 11: a true challenge to see where we're going to finish
• 39:50
  Speaker 11: this thing out.
• 39:51
  Speaker 24: Yeah, so as you mentioned, some of those teams that
• 39:54
  Speaker 24: you are currently tied for first place in District 8
• 39:57
  Speaker 24: with the Brenham Cubs and the Ellison Eagles and your
• 40:02
  Speaker 24: Belton Tigers are all sitting at 2-0 currently. I know
• 40:05
  Speaker 24: that doesn't lock up a playoff spot, but you're in
• 40:07
  Speaker 24: a really good position for that right now. So what
• 40:11
  Speaker 24: are going to be the keys to carrying that momentum
• 40:15
  Speaker 24: from a hot start in district play through these final
• 40:18
  Speaker 24: three games of the season that could be the three
• 40:21
  Speaker 24: toughest games that you play all year?
• 40:24
  Speaker 11: Oh, no doubt. You've got to take it week by
• 40:28
  Speaker 11: week when you get into these scenarios and try not
• 40:30
  Speaker 11: to look too far ahead. We have to, as coaches,
• 40:33
  Speaker 11: when you start looking at the possibility of tiebreakers and
• 40:35
  Speaker 11: points and how those things call, sometimes you may need
• 40:38
  Speaker 11: to go for an extra point that you've Maybe it
• 40:41
  Speaker 11: would have just kicked. You may go for two just
• 40:42
  Speaker 11: to extend that point lead and avoid try-breakers. But really,
• 40:46
  Speaker 11: it just starts this week with us focusing on Ellison,
• 40:48
  Speaker 11: taking it, you know, the coach's cliche, one game at
• 40:51
  Speaker 11: a time, one play at a time. You have to
• 40:54
  Speaker 11: stay humble on that. And what I remind our guys is, like,
• 40:57
  Speaker 11: You only get 10 guaranteed games, and if we're blessed,
• 41:00
  Speaker 11: we'll get 11th, and we just need to focus on
• 41:01
  Speaker 11: 11th if we get there. But don't waste this Monday.
• 41:05
  Speaker 11: Don't waste this Tuesday because you're going to blink, and
• 41:08
  Speaker 11: we're like seniors right now. For us, you only have
• 41:10
  Speaker 11: two Monday guaranteed practices left. So don't waste an opportunity
• 41:14
  Speaker 11: thinking about down the road. Let's focus on this day.
• 41:17
  Speaker 11: Let's focus on this week. And you keep it in perspective.
• 41:20
  Speaker 11: That way you're able to kind of eat this elephant
• 41:24
  Speaker 11: in small bites, not one whole big swallow.
• 41:27
  Speaker 24: So specifically on the Ellison Eagles, that's your matchup this
• 41:31
  Speaker 24: Friday night at home in Belton. They are four and
• 41:35
  Speaker 24: three on the season, had a little bit of a
• 41:36
  Speaker 24: tough start in non-district play, but have rebounded quite nicely,
• 41:40
  Speaker 24: undefeated in district play, like I mentioned earlier. So what
• 41:43
  Speaker 24: do you expect to see from the Eagles tomorrow night?
• 41:46
  Speaker 11: And you know, their, their identity starts with their quarterback
• 41:49
  Speaker 11: on offense. He's a, he's an impressive young man. That's
• 41:51
  Speaker 11: very physical. He can create offense on his own. And
• 41:55
  Speaker 11: when he kind of gets out of the pocket and, and,
• 41:58
  Speaker 11: and scrambles, he's one of the most accurate throwers I've seen.
• 42:01
  Speaker 11: you know, on the move, especially if you don't get
• 42:03
  Speaker 11: much pressure on him and he can kind of just scramble,
• 42:05
  Speaker 11: keep his eyes up. His receivers do an exceptional job
• 42:08
  Speaker 11: of coming back to him and getting open. And so that's,
• 42:10
  Speaker 11: that's a tremendous challenge along with, you know, they're, they're
• 42:12
  Speaker 11: pretty big up front. They, like you said, they've struggled
• 42:15
  Speaker 11: up early. Well, they, they were also rotating guys and
• 42:18
  Speaker 11: banged up. So they're starting to get their guys back
• 42:20
  Speaker 11: in place. And, I think everybody picked them to be
• 42:23
  Speaker 11: at the top of this district for a reason because
• 42:24
  Speaker 11: of their athleticism size there. And, you know, defensively, they're
• 42:27
  Speaker 11: going to they're going to line right. They're going to
• 42:28
  Speaker 11: come off the ball. They're going to play very physical,
• 42:30
  Speaker 11: aggressive in the box. And they've got the athleticism behind
• 42:33
  Speaker 11: it to match. So, you know, it's one of those
• 42:35
  Speaker 11: games in this situation that you've got to hopefully, you know,
• 42:38
  Speaker 11: make them earn it.
• 42:39
  Speaker 15: Don't give them.
• 42:40
  Speaker 11: Anything free from the defensive side and offensive. We've got
• 42:42
  Speaker 11: to capitalize when we get into the red zone. We've
• 42:44
  Speaker 11: got to come away with points.
• 42:46
  Speaker 4: All right, coach.
• 42:46
  Speaker 24: I appreciate your time today. Good luck to your Tigers
• 42:49
  Speaker 24: the rest.
• 42:49
  Speaker 11: Of the season. Thank you. I appreciate it. Go Tigers.

  Speaker 1: I don't know how you allow that. Brazos Valley immediately
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: tells you they're not from here, but they haven't really
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: educated themselves about being here either. Sorry, it's just a
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: little pet peeve I have. Okay, coming up, we're going
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: to hear from Des Ricks. They will have their hands
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: full against the Alabama quarterback, Keelan Russell, on Saturday afternoon, 2.30.

  Speaker 20: The Houston Texans are getting set to face the New
• 45:43
  Speaker 20: York Giants offense, which is now a threat via multiple
• 45:46
  Speaker 20: quarterbacks with J.J. McCarthy and James Winston. Giants head coach
• 45:50
  Speaker 20: John Harbaugh made the decision to bench Winston, who took
• 45:52
  Speaker 20: over when starter Jackson Dart suffered a season-ending knee injury.
• 45:56
  Speaker 20: McCarthy led three scoring drives when he entered the Saints
• 45:58
  Speaker 20: game a week ago. The Texans defense remains confident that
• 46:01
  Speaker 20: no matter who throws the ball, they'll be in control.
• 46:03
  Speaker 20: Here's Will Anderson Jr. on the Giants offense.
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, young quarterback.
• 46:07
  Speaker 22: I think both of the guys we really watch tape on,
• 46:09
  Speaker 22: both of those guys can really move really well. I mean,
• 46:11
  Speaker 22: they get out the pocket, they make guys miss, they
• 46:13
  Speaker 22: make the first person miss. You win a one-on-one, you
• 46:15
  Speaker 22: try to get Jameis down, and Jameis is back there
• 46:17
  Speaker 22: moving around, trying to get J.J.
• 46:18
  Speaker 15: Down.
• 46:18
  Speaker 22: So I think they're both very good athletes. You look
• 46:21
  Speaker 22: at J.J., I think he has the ability to open
• 46:23
  Speaker 22: up a lot of more stuff. They want to do
• 46:24
  Speaker 22: zone read, all those type of different things, escape the pocket.
• 46:27
  Speaker 22: It's going to be a good matchup for us, I think,
• 46:28
  Speaker 22: more than ever. We have to rush together. He's a
• 46:30
  Speaker 22: young quarterback. So we have to do a really good
• 46:32
  Speaker 22: job of making sure everybody is owning their box.
• 46:34
  Speaker 20: Kickoff between the Texans and Giants is set for noon

• 48:51
  Speaker 1: They sang that song in honor of Dolly last night

  Speaker 1: on ABC. Terrific show. Hope you saw it. If you didn't,
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: I think it's streaming. It's worth watching.
• 49:00
  Speaker 10: All right.
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: We're going to hear from Des Rex. He is going
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: back to Tuscaloosa after three years. Should be interesting. Here
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: he is earlier this week.
• 49:11
  Speaker 4: I'm excited.
• 49:11
  Speaker 27: It's been a while since I've been back. Just excited
• 49:15
  Speaker 27: to go play, honestly.
• 49:19
  Speaker 10: Devs and Eagles.
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: You look at the numbers, you know you've had a
• 49:22
  Speaker 4: pretty successful season.
• 49:23
  Speaker 12: I'm just curious, LSU it.
• 49:25
  Speaker 10: Seemed like was able to maybe get.
• 49:27
  Speaker 4: The best of you.
• 49:28
  Speaker 24: Why was that the case, and why have you been
• 49:30
  Speaker 24: able to get your game back to where it was?
• 49:32
  Speaker 27: Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't really say they got the
• 49:35
  Speaker 27: best of me. Like, Like, people also don't know what
• 49:38
  Speaker 27: coverages we in. So, like, you know, like, I wouldn't, like,
• 49:43
  Speaker 27: I don't know. Like, everything that they say was on me,
• 49:46
  Speaker 27: you know, some stuff is just within coverages and whatnot.
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: So, I wouldn't say nobody really got much on me
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: this year.
• 49:53
  Speaker 27: Yeah, honestly, it's just been trusting my trainer, getting back
• 49:56
  Speaker 27: to myself, honestly.
• 49:58
  Speaker 4: That's all, really.
• 49:59
  Speaker 6: Do you sense that opponents are avoiding throwing you in
• 50:02
  Speaker 6: your direction?
• 50:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, a little bit. Why do you think that is?
• 50:07
  Speaker 4: I have no clue with that. I don't know. Would
• 50:10
  Speaker 4: you prefer they throw more? Of course, definitely.
• 50:12
  Speaker 23: Why do you want to say that?
• 50:13
  Speaker 4: So I can make some plays on the ball, you know.
• 50:15
  Speaker 4: But it is what it is. I mean, no targets,
• 50:18
  Speaker 4: I guess that means I'm doing my job, so.
• 50:20
  Speaker 10: What did the last game do in terms of confidence?
• 50:23
  Speaker 10: It's the second shutout of the season. What did it
• 50:26
  Speaker 10: do to help boost that confidence?
• 50:28
  Speaker 27: It definitely got an overall morale up. We know what
• 50:31
  Speaker 27: we're capable of and we're at our best. We're on
• 50:33
  Speaker 27: the same page. Just using that, regardless of the opponent
• 50:38
  Speaker 27: we played, going into this next one. And if we're
• 50:40
  Speaker 27: all on the same page, regardless of who we play,
• 50:42
  Speaker 27: you know, the same thing can happen.
• 50:45
  Speaker 9: As you're going back to Alabama, I know there's the
• 50:47
  Speaker 9: transfer portal there.
• 50:48
  Speaker 10: There's a lot of guys from a lot of different places.
• 50:50
  Speaker 9: Does it still get your juices up going to the plate,
• 50:53
  Speaker 9: your former team, or is that kind of most.
• 50:55
  Speaker 10: People see that as like, hey, this was a business decision?
• 50:58
  Speaker 10: It's a kind of business now.
• 51:00
  Speaker 27: I'm excited about every game, but I'd be lying if
• 51:02
  Speaker 27: I said I wasn't, you know, like, I wouldn't say
• 51:05
  Speaker 27: a little more excited, but I guess, you know, a
• 51:08
  Speaker 27: little more excited than usual. But I'm just going to
• 51:11
  Speaker 27: go in there and play my game and, you know,
• 51:13
  Speaker 27: the rest will happen how it should happen.
• 51:15
  Speaker 10: Do you still have any friends on the team you
• 51:17
  Speaker 10: guys keep up with?
• 51:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, a good amount.
• 51:19
  Speaker 27: My old roommate, Yonze Pierre, that's one of my closest friends.
• 51:21
  Speaker 27: I still talk to him on the phone. We probably
• 51:24
  Speaker 27: won't talk this week, but we'll probably talk after the game.
• 51:26
  Speaker 9: And then Mike said, or Coach Elko said in the
• 51:28
  Speaker 9: press conference that, you know, the post games are a
• 51:31
  Speaker 9: lot different now because so many guys know different guys.
• 51:34
  Speaker 10: Does it feel like a lot of it's kind.
• 51:36
  Speaker 9: Of a reunion after the game to get to say
• 51:38
  Speaker 9: hi to guys that you haven't seen in a while?
• 51:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely.
• 51:41
  Speaker 27: Especially with me going to IMG Academy, uh i think
• 51:44
  Speaker 27: just about every team we know i know at least
• 51:45
  Speaker 27: five guys on the other side so uh it definitely
• 51:49
  Speaker 27: you know uh definitely like seeing them it'd be uh
• 51:52
  Speaker 27: you know it's all uh after the game like talking
• 51:55
  Speaker 27: to my old teammates you know it's it's.
• 51:57
  Speaker 5: Cool how frustrating or how hard is it to focus
• 52:00
  Speaker 5: maybe when the targets aren't coming your way and they
• 52:02
  Speaker 5: kind of avoided you how do you make an impact
• 52:03
  Speaker 5: on the.
• 52:04
  Speaker 27: Game um i think that's making an impact and uh
• 52:07
  Speaker 27: within itself honestly uh But just not getting bored because
• 52:11
  Speaker 27: you never know when the ball will come. So just
• 52:13
  Speaker 27: staying locked into my game, and that's what the coaches
• 52:16
  Speaker 27: implement towards me. Like, don't fall asleep out there because
• 52:19
  Speaker 27: as long as you do, that's when the ball will come.
• 52:21
  Speaker 18: How is the environment in Alabama different than the environment.
• 52:26
  Speaker 4: Here at A & M? So when I played there,
• 52:29
  Speaker 4: I was on the other sideline.
• 52:30
  Speaker 27: So I don't really like– because even when I came here,
• 52:34
  Speaker 27: so when I played at Alabama and we came here, Like,
• 52:37
  Speaker 27: it was way louder on the other sideline than what
• 52:40
  Speaker 27: it is on ours. Like, same as when I was
• 52:42
  Speaker 27: at Bama, our sideline, like, I don't know. I don't
• 52:44
  Speaker 27: really think it was as loud as the other one is.
• 52:46
  Speaker 4: So, I don't know. It's going to be a different feel.
• 52:52
  Speaker 23: What have you seen from TK maybe in practice that,
• 52:56
  Speaker 23: you know, he's grown in his game and has been
• 52:58
  Speaker 23: able to.
• 52:59
  Speaker 10: Have an impact on this offense?
• 53:00
  Speaker 27: Yeah, I mean, there's things I've been seeing since TK
• 53:03
  Speaker 27: got here. He's always somebody that worked hard. And then
• 53:07
  Speaker 27: now I think just with him getting opportunity from guys
• 53:10
  Speaker 27: being down, whatever the case may be, he's just.
• 53:13
  Speaker 4: Showing everyone else. But I'm not surprised by nothing he's doing.
• 53:16
  Speaker 10: How would you describe him as a receiver today with
• 53:18
  Speaker 10: the strengths of.
• 53:18
  Speaker 27: His game on him? I'd say his speed and change
• 53:22
  Speaker 27: of direction. I think that's definitely strengths of his. Ability
• 53:26
  Speaker 27: to catch the ball, too. Just a well-rounded receiver, for sure.
• 53:30
  Speaker 9: You've got several guys on the team who came from
• 53:31
  Speaker 9: out there with you all. This week, are y'all talking
• 53:34
  Speaker 9: about any memories from there?
• 53:36
  Speaker 10: What was it like playing in the state if y'all
• 53:38
  Speaker 10: won it? Or is it kind of old news, past?
• 53:41
  Speaker 27: Yeah, we talk about it a little bit. But we
• 53:43
  Speaker 27: really just keep it the main thing, the main thing.
• 53:46
  Speaker 27: Just trying to go in there and get a win, honestly.
• 53:48
  Speaker 18: We're going to talk to Keelan Russell, obviously a really
• 53:51
  Speaker 18: talented player.
• 53:52
  Speaker 3: What does he want to do?
• 53:54
  Speaker 27: Oh, yeah, I think he's a really solid young player.
• 53:56
  Speaker 27: You know, he can pass the ball really good with
• 53:58
  Speaker 27: his feet. So he's definitely going to be a challenge
• 54:01
  Speaker 27: for us. But, like I said, as long as we communicate,
• 54:03
  Speaker 27: stay on our keys, we'll be up to the challenge
• 54:05
  Speaker 27: for sure.
• 54:06
  Speaker 9: You know, to feet by yards, kind of being integrated more,
• 54:08
  Speaker 9: playing more, how.
• 54:09
  Speaker 10: Much have you seen his impact in the back end there?
• 54:11
  Speaker 11: Just what has he brought?
• 54:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he brings a lot of juice. You know, he
• 54:15
  Speaker 4: brings energy.
• 54:17
  Speaker 27: He's one of them guys that regardless, in or not,
• 54:20
  Speaker 27: he's on the sideline, making sure everyone's turned up.
• 54:23
  Speaker 4: He's a really smart player. He's a thumper as well.
• 54:28
  Speaker 4: He brings a lot for us, for sure.
• 54:30
  Speaker 10: Who's your favorite guy to line up against in practice?
• 54:32
  Speaker 4: Favorite receiver?
• 54:33
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 54:35
  Speaker 12: That's tough.
• 54:36
  Speaker 27: I can't say that because that would be doing a
• 54:37
  Speaker 27: disservice to the other guy.
• 54:38
  Speaker 4: I like going against everybody.
• 54:40
  Speaker 9: Had you announced your transfer from Alabama by the time
• 54:43
  Speaker 9: that Coach Saban.
• 54:44
  Speaker 4: Announced his retirement? Yeah, I think it was like less
• 54:48
  Speaker 4: than a week afterwards that I announced that I was transferring.
• 54:52
  Speaker 12: Were you in the room when he announced it?
• 54:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I was in there, for sure.
• 54:55
  Speaker 10: What was that moment like? Did you sense that that
• 54:59
  Speaker 10: was coming?
• 55:00
  Speaker 27: I mean, nobody really sensed it. The coaches didn't even know.
• 55:03
  Speaker 27: You could hear a pin drop in there, honestly. It
• 55:05
  Speaker 27: was just quiet.
• 55:07
  Speaker 4: After he walked off, the AD came in, talked to us,
• 55:09
  Speaker 4: and that was that, really.
• 55:10
  Speaker 10: How do you feel watching that.
• 55:12
  Speaker 11: All over again?
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: All right, that's Des Ricks. Interesting take because he was
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: there when Saban called it quits. He said, hey, I
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: didn't know. Coaches didn't know. And again, I recommend the
