- 1:18Speaker 2: grandfather still kicking at ninety three. So Happy Father's Day
- 1:22Speaker 2: to Lloyd Harris, an absolute phenomenal, phenomenal man. And if
- 1:28Speaker 2: there's any decence in me, in decency in me, it
- 1:31Speaker 2: came from him.
- 1:32Speaker 1: I can see that. It sounds like that is exactly
- 1:35Speaker 1: where that would come from. It would be from him,
- 1:38Speaker 1: and not so much from you. Kidding. No, Happy Father's
- 1:42Speaker 1: Day to everybody. Hopefully you've all have had a great
- 1:44Speaker 1: Father's Day so far. I went out ate with my kids.
- 1:47Speaker 1: They got me some nice gifts added to my nerd
- 1:50Speaker 1: collection of Marvel labeled Lego set. So I have another
- 1:56Speaker 1: big one I need to put together.
- 1:57Speaker 2: What you get? What'd you get?
- 2:03Speaker 1: This one.
- 2:06Speaker 2: Is the one that's going up there, oh forever.
- 2:10Speaker 1: Exactly, got a big one there. I also have a
- 2:14Speaker 1: Captain America shield I need to put together, so it
- 2:16Speaker 1: goes over there with Mule norm So. And I have
- 2:21Speaker 1: a Nintendo throwback with the console one.
- 2:25Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah.
- 2:26Speaker 1: So those three I need to put together, and that's
- 2:28Speaker 1: my plan is to have those done by the end
- 2:30Speaker 1: of the year, I plan on refreshing everything behind me.
- 2:33Speaker 1: Of course, I gotta keep the tumbler behind me, but
- 2:36Speaker 1: I'm gonna move some of the other stuff around just
- 2:38Speaker 1: so I have the space and show things out. But
- 2:41Speaker 1: thank y'all for jumping in. Like I said, Happy Father's Day,
- 2:45Speaker 1: hit the life subscribe button and all of that jazz.
- 2:48Speaker 1: So coop, let's start with the simplest of conversations, the
- 2:52Speaker 1: quick opener, the one that makes the most sense, the
- 2:54Speaker 1: one that we care the most about. Well, everybody else
- 2:57Speaker 1: cared the most about. It's gonna be recruiting. So we
- 3:00Speaker 1: know that last weekend was a big weekend for the Sooners.
- 3:04Speaker 1: It was the first big recruiting weekend they had. They
- 3:07Speaker 1: had a lot of big time guests. We had some
- 3:09Speaker 1: great opportunities that populated we didn't we had some commitments
- 3:15Speaker 1: because of it. And this weekend we had a similar setup.
- 3:21Speaker 1: Let me see if I can get this to look
- 3:23Speaker 1: actually good on my screen. There we go. So here's
- 3:27Speaker 1: one visitor that did pull up the Zepphyn Walker. There's
- 3:33Speaker 1: a picture of him with DeMarco Murray. This was back
- 3:38Speaker 1: in May when he first got the offer. And we
- 3:43Speaker 1: know that he tweeted out a couple of days ago
- 3:45Speaker 1: that he is in town. He is a I guess
- 3:48Speaker 1: you could say consensus and composite four star player, top
- 3:54Speaker 1: four hundred player in the country. Let me pull that
- 3:57Speaker 1: so y'all can see it. This is the man to myth,
- 4:00Speaker 1: the legend himself, and I like him as a running back.
- 4:04Speaker 1: Big size. I don't think he's actually five to two
- 4:05Speaker 1: one eighty. I think is bigger than that, but it
- 4:09Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Coop. Actually, yeah, he has himself listed at
- 4:12Speaker 1: six foot two oh five, so that means that he's
- 4:15Speaker 1: grown since uh he actually had his rankings put together.
- 4:20Speaker 1: So Coop, talk to me, how are you feeling about
- 4:22Speaker 1: the Zephyn and this visit so far?
- 4:25Speaker 2: You know, I kind of get the uh kind of
- 4:28Speaker 2: get you know, the feel that this is another thumper.
- 4:33Speaker 2: You gotta feel like this might be another naggy situations where, uh,
- 4:37Speaker 2: you know, he's looking at the bodies, looking at some
- 4:40Speaker 2: of the guys who you don't get to the NFL
- 4:42Speaker 2: and Jena just really are able to show stability. I
- 4:47Speaker 2: think the college game is is pretty set that you
- 4:50Speaker 2: need two good running backs to to be coming through.
- 4:53Speaker 2: So you know, he falls in the uh the exavor
- 4:56Speaker 2: Robinson you know, top of body style, looks like he
- 5:00Speaker 2: is going to be a guy who is built for
- 5:03Speaker 2: the sec a guy that can get some short yardage.
- 5:06Speaker 2: And you know when you have guys that are small compact,
- 5:11Speaker 2: you know, thumpers, those guys are going to be the
- 5:14Speaker 2: ones that you really get excited for for you know,
- 5:16Speaker 2: short yardage. You don't have to come up with things
- 5:18Speaker 2: like the bell dozer. Uh you know, but it is
- 5:21Speaker 2: a guy who can also get on the edge and
- 5:23Speaker 2: and burn too, So you look at him as a
- 5:27Speaker 2: kind of a diamond in the rough. Uh. You know,
- 5:30Speaker 2: it's up there in Missouri. So if there's any chance
- 5:33Speaker 2: that you can you know, steal somebody out of the
- 5:35Speaker 2: uh the obnoxious state or I forget what the actual
- 5:38Speaker 2: terminology state show to show me, show me state, show
- 5:42Speaker 2: me anybody more obnoxious. But yeah, that's that's that's the
- 5:47Speaker 2: one that uh, that's the one that is uh, you know,
- 5:51Speaker 2: a really good pool. So I got a couple of
- 5:52Speaker 2: different guys coming in and uh just trying to round
- 5:56Speaker 2: out this this class. You've got a good running back
- 5:59Speaker 2: fold right now. But again, you expect, uh you know,
- 6:02Speaker 2: uh expect to lose a couple of guys this year,
- 6:05Speaker 2: so got to keep on keep on filling it up.
- 6:08Speaker 1: Yeah, you got to get yourself some more backs because
- 6:10Speaker 1: you know that, like you said, we're gonna have some
- 6:12Speaker 1: people leave over the next few. We'll share this one,
- 6:19Speaker 1: so y'all can kind of see him as a back.
- 6:21Speaker 1: He he's as you said, he breaks tackles, which he's
- 6:28Speaker 1: got some little a little move here and there that
- 6:34Speaker 1: you all will definitely appreciate. I liked watching his film.
- 6:38Speaker 1: When I was watching him the other day, I was like, oh, okay,
- 6:40Speaker 1: so this is one of those backs that can go
- 6:42Speaker 1: between the tackles, you know, shake off a couple here
- 6:45Speaker 1: and there. They don't go, he doesn't fall because of
- 6:47Speaker 1: arm tackles. Let's put it that way. That is probably
- 6:51Speaker 1: one of the bigger, bigger things that I saw that
- 6:54Speaker 1: jumped out to him. And when I looked at like
- 6:57Speaker 1: the offer sheet, that's the probably the way the spot
- 7:00Speaker 1: where I feel like, I don't know if he's really
- 7:02Speaker 1: under the radar, because his offer sheet is a lot
- 7:06Speaker 1: better than most expect. He's got to take Lam Tennessee.
- 7:10Speaker 1: He's got Oregon. Who we know Oregon's when they chase
- 7:13Speaker 1: after players there. They go after the big home run hitters.
- 7:19Speaker 1: He's got oh, miss Missouri, Oklahoma State, Minnesota, Miami's after him.
- 7:24Speaker 1: So another back school Georgia, Florida, Auburn, Arkansas, both the
- 7:29Speaker 1: Kansas schools because he's in the show me state, so
- 7:31Speaker 1: he's got to get to close schools. Notre Dame, Oklahoma,
- 7:34Speaker 1: and Nebraska are the three that's considered warm over on
- 7:39Speaker 1: on two four seven. So it sounds like those are
- 7:42Speaker 1: the schools that they think have the biggest chance. And
- 7:45Speaker 1: Oklahoma is now popping up and trying to wiggle their
- 7:49Speaker 1: way in as they've got a ov this weekend. Next
- 7:52Speaker 1: weekend he goes to Nebraska. So he went to k State,
- 7:57Speaker 1: didn't commit. He actually canceled the Notre Dame visit to
- 8:00Speaker 1: come to Oklahoma. Kind of a big deal in my
- 8:04Speaker 1: personal opinion.
- 8:05Speaker 2: Doesn't sound doesn't sound bad. Yeah, I mean, this is
- 8:09Speaker 2: a guy that you watched the film and everybody will
- 8:12Speaker 2: like right away. You know, he does have the ability
- 8:16Speaker 2: to run through the arm tackles, so a little bit
- 8:19Speaker 2: more choice than Samaja. But you know, I see this
- 8:22Speaker 2: one where he gets out on the edge and you
- 8:25Speaker 2: know he keeps his balance, so demark with cornk with that.
- 8:29Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's probably the bigger piece that we saw
- 8:32Speaker 1: out of this is that kid can make some things
- 8:38Speaker 1: happen there, which I'll think in the comments let me
- 8:41Speaker 1: know sooner, Cowboy, I see it. Who's all showing up
- 8:43Speaker 1: for the twentieth We'll actually go through that list before
- 8:46Speaker 1: we jumped into the comments section. We know that this
- 8:49Speaker 1: coming weekend is the big one. It's the Champion Barbecue weekend.
- 8:53Speaker 1: It's the one where you're gonna have the vast majority
- 8:56Speaker 1: of the top players that Oklahoma really is going after.
- 9:00Speaker 1: Of course, shows who all is going to be there,
- 9:02Speaker 1: And at the same time, we've got some players that
- 9:06Speaker 1: have shifted in and out WHI I'll point out the
- 9:09Speaker 1: ones that I know aren't going to pull up, But
- 9:12Speaker 1: for the most part, everybody that's on actually actually this
- 9:15Speaker 1: This is been updated, so I think everybody on this
- 9:18Speaker 1: list are actually confirmed to be coming into town. So yeah,
- 9:24Speaker 1: and then we'll also see what bo Bentley looks like.
- 9:28Speaker 1: Thanks Coach Powers for that. Notre Dame has already running backs.
- 9:33Speaker 1: That makes sense. I could totally understand that. Another visitor
- 9:38Speaker 1: that I thought was a little bit that was pretty
- 9:42Speaker 1: exciting is going to be let's stair share this tab
- 9:46Speaker 1: instead take him off? Is this Sooner legacy here? Coop
- 9:54Speaker 1: Josiah Jefferson, the Juco product, the brother of Tony Jefferson,
- 10:01Speaker 1: former Sooner who's also currently a Charger. He tweeted at
- 10:06Speaker 1: Naggy and said, hey, I know somebody that would like
- 10:10Speaker 1: to be in Oklahoma. There could be a le legend here,
- 10:14Speaker 1: and Naggy appears to have reached out. They had a
- 10:17Speaker 1: conversation next to you know, he gets an offer and
- 10:19Speaker 1: then boom, we set up a visit.
- 10:25Speaker 2: He's got the size, he's got the pedigree, and you know, yeah,
- 10:31Speaker 2: I mean it's never good, never bad. One you can have,
- 10:34Speaker 2: you know, anfl or come in, come in and visit
- 10:37Speaker 2: with But you got a I mean you got a
- 10:41Speaker 2: situation where he could be in this summer as he
- 10:45Speaker 2: could be in the twenty five class. Eligibility things are
- 10:48Speaker 2: going to be. What this boils down to, he could
- 10:51Speaker 2: be in the twenty sixth class, and I think we'll
- 10:54Speaker 2: know soon ish, you know, kind of around those things,
- 10:57Speaker 2: but this is one that you know, whether is twenty
- 11:00Speaker 2: five or twenty six you or sorry, twenty yeah, could
- 11:04Speaker 2: be the summer or twenty six, Like you take them
- 11:06Speaker 2: whichever way you can get because you know, you show
- 11:09Speaker 2: a little love to Tony, who you know, left for
- 11:12Speaker 2: the draft a little early, ended up going undrafted and
- 11:16Speaker 2: had himself a nice little career and you know still,
- 11:19Speaker 2: you know, still you know, doing some stuff up there.
- 11:22Speaker 2: So I know that he was what he's still working
- 11:25Speaker 2: for this season, as Topher says here, So the guy's
- 11:29Speaker 2: not not giving it up. And he's a he's a
- 11:32Speaker 2: great I mean, he's just a great safety. So this
- 11:34Speaker 2: is tight end. Yeah, six five two fifteen. I'm going
- 11:38Speaker 2: to be a dude who SCHMIDI needs to hang out with.
- 11:41Speaker 2: And I got to think that he's probably gone over
- 11:44Speaker 2: to meal plans, you know with Schmidy already, so that way,
- 11:47Speaker 2: if he you know, makes it in the summer, he
- 11:50Speaker 2: can continue to start working. And but yeah, you watch
- 11:53Speaker 2: these films and you're not going to find anything that
- 11:56Speaker 2: you really dislike about him. You know, what's competition level
- 12:01Speaker 2: that's going to be the next step up. But you
- 12:03Speaker 2: get him in here and get him in with a
- 12:05Speaker 2: you know, you know, solid D one group for strength
- 12:09Speaker 2: and conditioning. You know, he's exciting, you know, pass catching
- 12:13Speaker 2: style tied in so he got a couple of guys
- 12:16Speaker 2: in the twenty sixth class and twenty seventh class. You're
- 12:18Speaker 2: already kind of targeting out, so love to have him
- 12:20Speaker 2: a little bit earlier.
- 12:22Speaker 1: Yeah, he's, like you say, he's a pass catcher. He's
- 12:24Speaker 1: very athletic, as you can tell. And if, yeah, we could,
- 12:32Speaker 1: we could use some additional tight end play. We just
- 12:34Speaker 1: the healthy tight end play. That's really, honestly what we've
- 12:37Speaker 1: been needing here at Oklahoma. That's been the thing that
- 12:39Speaker 1: has been probably the most painful because I just haven't
- 12:43Speaker 1: had healthy.
- 12:45Speaker 2: Oh hold on, I want to pause everything, pause the
- 12:48Speaker 2: show because look at Sooner Cowboys last chat. I don't
- 12:52Speaker 2: know if I'm reading this or if it's.
- 12:54Speaker 1: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- 12:56Speaker 2: What is going on? Somebody get on.
- 12:59Speaker 1: The screen thermometer. Okay, I'm afraid I've never seen this
- 13:11Speaker 1: type of optimism. He's been hacked. He has thank you
- 13:16Speaker 1: tofer He's been hacked. That is exactly what Sooner Cowboy
- 13:20Speaker 1: has been hacked.
- 13:21Speaker 2: Okay, just like Jimmy green Beans during uh during the
- 13:24Speaker 2: thunder game the other night.
- 13:26Speaker 1: And that's the only reason why I called Jimmy green
- 13:28Speaker 1: Beans out because I know that that's that's how he tweets.
- 13:30Speaker 1: He tweets through it. He tweets through it, and his
- 13:33Speaker 1: constant just roller coaster rides up and down. So I
- 13:36Speaker 1: tell him, y'all want to be tweet this out, just
- 13:38Speaker 1: just just let it. It's okay, just let the game flow,
- 13:42Speaker 1: the ebbs and flows go. But yes, Sooner Cowboy has
- 13:45Speaker 1: definitely been hacked. Love you, Sooner Cowboy. We love you.
- 13:51Speaker 1: And there's a good chance that okay, see the thunder
- 13:53Speaker 1: can give you that. You don't know what y'all think,
- 13:56Speaker 1: hop in the comments, we definitely want to hear y'all. Oh,
- 14:02Speaker 1: I closed this on accidente but let me open it
- 14:06Speaker 1: rack up. I want to talk about the visitors that
- 14:09Speaker 1: are coming ins. I think that does warrant a quick
- 14:12Speaker 1: conversation because Oklahoma does actually have a really good slate
- 14:19Speaker 1: of visitors that a lot of you all have been
- 14:22Speaker 1: wanting over the last few weeks. This is actually what
- 14:26Speaker 1: you've been asking for, and so let me go and
- 14:29Speaker 1: pull up I'll pull up the official ones from on
- 14:31Speaker 1: three that they've listed, because I think that that's probably
- 14:33Speaker 1: the fairest to go with on Let me see, let
- 14:38Speaker 1: me see if to let me see if two four
- 14:41Speaker 1: to seven also something as y'all know, On three and
- 14:44Speaker 1: rivals have all made like these massive changes or whatnot.
- 14:49Speaker 1: It's like the weirdest thing in the world. I'm just
- 14:51Speaker 1: it's going to be a very interesting world of over
- 15:00Speaker 1: the next few months. It's gonna be really weird. Yeah.
- 15:03Speaker 1: Two four to seven has a really updated Thursday. Still
- 15:05Speaker 1: have sixteen visitors where a lot of these players have
- 15:10Speaker 1: committed places and then shut down everything so they won't
- 15:12Speaker 1: be doing visits. But we'll see who shows up. But
- 15:14Speaker 1: this is what I know is supposed to be pulling up.
- 15:18Speaker 1: And I give it to ON three because they do
- 15:21Speaker 1: a really good job of keeping a lot of this
- 15:22Speaker 1: stuff up to date. You've got j Crule, the Borderline
- 15:28Speaker 1: five star Edge out of Florida down at IMG Academy,
- 15:33Speaker 1: and I know that he and Miguel Chaves have a
- 15:39Speaker 1: very good relationship, so I kind of have a feeling
- 15:42Speaker 1: it that may end up being a very good thing
- 15:45Speaker 1: for Oklahoma. Jordan Clay Wide Receiver Big Wide Receiver sixty
- 15:49Speaker 1: three one ninety the one that I'm the most hyped about.
- 15:53Speaker 1: Valden Sown, the Big Boy from Sweden, he is listed
- 15:58Speaker 1: to still show up. I don't think he made the
- 16:01Speaker 1: Florida visit. I know he had like something that came
- 16:06Speaker 1: up when I saw an article and he was out
- 16:07Speaker 1: of tea and went back home. But it appears that
- 16:10Speaker 1: he will be making the visit to Oklahoma. Cross fingers
- 16:14Speaker 1: and tows that that does happen. Of course, Todge over
- 16:17Speaker 1: to the local boy from up in the Wassa j
- 16:21Speaker 1: And O'Neill as he's visiting Florida State this weekend. He's
- 16:24Speaker 1: supposed to have an official even though he was actually
- 16:27Speaker 1: at camp on Thursday, Friday Friday, the BB's camp on Friday.
- 16:33Speaker 1: Then of course Brian Harris, who's recruiting some players to
- 16:38Speaker 1: come with them, Zach Returner, the athlete. Well, Conroyd's in town,
- 16:42Speaker 1: both the Jandroux brothers. Bryden Presley from Tulsa, the big corner.
- 16:48Speaker 1: Actually he's bigger than five to eleven. He's over six feet.
- 16:50Speaker 1: I know that he's the bigger Presley brother. He's bigger
- 16:53Speaker 1: than his two brothers, which is fascinating. Lafayette a young
- 16:57Speaker 1: a small edge who we think has some very hot
- 17:01Speaker 1: upside kicker and Trace Rudd is going to be in town,
- 17:04Speaker 1: and there's a few more too to show up, But
- 17:05Speaker 1: these are the ones that we know that have locked
- 17:08Speaker 1: in and have not canceled. Cool anybody else you can
- 17:11Speaker 1: think of that you expect to show up.
- 17:15Speaker 2: I think that we will have a couple more names
- 17:18Speaker 2: shiming in here soon. If you get a late week
- 17:25Speaker 2: you know, Bo Bentley type of situation happened, you know
- 17:29Speaker 2: that's going to that could be something, you know, I
- 17:33Speaker 2: want to see if we can. You know, there's there's
- 17:36Speaker 2: a lot of rumors, a lot of names out there,
- 17:38Speaker 2: and I know that Josh over it on three is
- 17:42Speaker 2: you know, circling around trying to get that list updated.
- 17:46Speaker 2: Usually that's gonna you know, kind of get filled out
- 17:48Speaker 2: throughout the week. But for the guys here, you know,
- 17:51Speaker 2: I want, uh, you know, I want to see if
- 17:53Speaker 2: we can close down Jandrobo. You know, I want to
- 17:57Speaker 2: see if we can get him on that. We want
- 17:59Speaker 2: to see if you can lock down stuff with sown
- 18:04Speaker 2: j Cruel fresh off of his visit to Ohio State
- 18:06Speaker 2: this week. You know that's a big thing, is you
- 18:09Speaker 2: want to continue to develop that relationship and you know,
- 18:13Speaker 2: push that towards our favor. You know, Jordan Clay is
- 18:16Speaker 2: a guy that's another big body receiver. You know, right now,
- 18:20Speaker 2: a lot of Texas Texas look to him Texas or Baylor.
- 18:25Speaker 2: So you know, I'm I'm excited about some of these guys.
- 18:29Speaker 2: I would rather it be a little bit of a
- 18:30Speaker 2: smaller piece, just because you want a chance to spend
- 18:34Speaker 2: some quality time with a couple of these guys. And
- 18:38Speaker 2: you know, I don't think that this is it for
- 18:40Speaker 2: the events wise, for oh you recruiting in the month
- 18:43Speaker 2: of June. I think that, you know, something else could
- 18:45Speaker 2: be in the works too. So hopefully I'd like to
- 18:49Speaker 2: get a Priestley brother. They seem to be guys who
- 18:52Speaker 2: just find a way to you know, to make things happen.
- 18:56Speaker 2: And so him being you know, the bigger of size,
- 18:59Speaker 2: youngest one, that would be that would be a fun get.
- 19:02Speaker 1: You know.
- 19:02Speaker 2: When I see that OU and k State, obviously I
- 19:05Speaker 2: think of the Lockett family. Yeah, and you know, being
- 19:08Speaker 2: Tulsa area guys, and so we never really got a
- 19:12Speaker 2: Locket and so, you know, so it's our final chance
- 19:16Speaker 2: to get a Presley.
- 19:17Speaker 1: I would love to get my hands on a Presley.
- 19:20Speaker 1: Oklahoma State has done very well with them, and I
- 19:23Speaker 1: would like for us to get one because they are
- 19:25Speaker 1: all uber towns, and every single one I've seen are
- 19:29Speaker 1: athletic as hell. Got got breakaway typically breakaway speed, the
- 19:34Speaker 1: ability to get get out there in open space and
- 19:38Speaker 1: make stuff happen. But at the same time, the other
- 19:41Speaker 1: presleys have all been smaller. This one, I know is
- 19:44Speaker 1: bigger than five eleven. Like I can tell you in
- 19:48Speaker 1: verification that he's bigger than his brothers. But you know,
- 19:54Speaker 1: we'll see. He is supposed to be in town. I
- 19:57Speaker 1: think he's listed. He hasn't sol listed a six to one.
- 20:00Speaker 1: I'm gonna say he's about six feet tall at minimum. Yeah,
- 20:02Speaker 1: he's a corner.
- 20:07Speaker 2: And if he can, you know, if he you get
- 20:09Speaker 2: up over that, you start approaching that six to one deal. Uh.
- 20:12Speaker 2: You know that's Uh. You look at all these bodies,
- 20:14Speaker 2: and these bodies are are ones that you've got. Jim
- 20:18Speaker 2: Naggi is looking at and saying, yes, yes, we like that,
- 20:21Speaker 2: we like that body, we like that body type, we
- 20:23Speaker 2: like that frame, and we know that we can get
- 20:25Speaker 2: weight on some of these kids. And so there's there's
- 20:28Speaker 2: a lot of these guys who are going to need
- 20:32Speaker 2: some work with Schmidty. And this is there's a lot
- 20:35Speaker 2: of defense here too. So when you look across this,
- 20:38Speaker 2: you know with Jake Krule Sown, you know, Overton, Brian
- 20:44Speaker 2: Harris Man, I just shout out to Brian Harris, and
- 20:46Speaker 2: if you haven't checked out the interview that we did
- 20:47Speaker 2: with Brian Harris, you know, just such a phenomenal kid
- 20:51Speaker 2: and just a good, good, well spoken head on his shoulders.
- 20:55Speaker 2: You know, likes himself some a lot of family. He's
- 21:00Speaker 2: from Brazil and so you know, check that out if
- 21:03Speaker 2: you didn't check out, see our video with that. But again,
- 21:07Speaker 2: the smaller piece you have, the coaching staff has had
- 21:11Speaker 2: you know, dozens and dozens and dozens of conversations over
- 21:14Speaker 2: the past couple of weeks for the camp, and so
- 21:16Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure that they liked kind of narrow it
- 21:18Speaker 2: down and just have a few guys that they can
- 21:19Speaker 2: really zone in on.
- 21:22Speaker 1: Very fair point. Yeah Harris, I know, said Harris switched
- 21:28Speaker 1: his visit weekend too, because he specifically wants to peer recruit,
- 21:34Speaker 1: which the massive deal that you have guys that are
- 21:39Speaker 1: that interested in making sure that they're able to peer
- 21:42Speaker 1: recruit guys that they want to play ball with, you
- 21:45Speaker 1: can't beat that. Like that that's what you want, right
- 21:50Speaker 1: You want guys to be able to say, yeah, I
- 21:51Speaker 1: want to play ball with X, Y Z person, and
- 21:54Speaker 1: then they're going to find a way to recruit said
- 21:57Speaker 1: person in there with them. I like that. I mean,
- 22:01Speaker 1: I know that that is kind of the expectation. We
- 22:04Speaker 1: saw that with j No. Usually your quarterbacks do that.
- 22:06Speaker 1: They're the ones that usually are your more more likely
- 22:09Speaker 1: ones to do that. And now you've got a lot
- 22:13Speaker 1: of defensive linemen who want to do that. Now, tweeting
- 22:15Speaker 1: at players not so much. That concerns me because that, uh,
- 22:21Speaker 1: they usually don't farewell in most things. But we had
- 22:26Speaker 1: a good question in here. They got a pulling up.
- 22:27Speaker 1: Hit the light button. If you're new to the channel,
- 22:29Speaker 1: subscribe rate review, give us five Dogian good questions, not stupid.
- 22:34Speaker 1: I don't, I don't. This is my philosophy. There no
- 22:37Speaker 1: such thing as stupid questions, just those that don't ask them.
- 22:41Speaker 1: So if you have a question and you want to
- 22:43Speaker 1: and it's a genuine one, I wholeheartedly want you to
- 22:46Speaker 1: ask and you can learn something new. I try to
- 22:49Speaker 1: learn something one thing new, every single day, no matter what,
- 22:52Speaker 1: at minimum one thing. And I've been blessed to be
- 22:55Speaker 1: able to learn eight or nine things in a day sometimes. So,
- 22:57Speaker 1: but on this question, when it says doesn't mean they
- 23:00Speaker 1: play multiple positions or that they don't have a position
- 23:02Speaker 1: in mind, it's a combination. Totally kind of answered it.
- 23:05Speaker 1: They do play multiple positions, but most kids in high
- 23:08Speaker 1: school play with multiple positions. Yeah, so you've got a
- 23:11Speaker 1: lot of quarterbacks that play corner, but they're listed at
- 23:13Speaker 1: quarterback in there. It's more so that they're not being
- 23:17Speaker 1: recruited for a specific position. It's a schools are going
- 23:21Speaker 1: to kind of determine where they want them to play,
- 23:23Speaker 1: and some schools will recruit them at corners, some recruit
- 23:26Speaker 1: them in safety, some recruitment wide receivers and gorument running back.
- 23:30Speaker 1: Some athletes are current quarterbacks that are being recruited for
- 23:33Speaker 1: other positions. It's kind of a mix of that.
- 23:37Speaker 2: So it's Garon Cannic. I think of Jaron Kia was
- 23:41Speaker 2: a guy who was kind of in a utility all
- 23:44Speaker 2: offensive player, and you know you'll get to see a
- 23:48Speaker 2: little bit of that this year, but you know, the
- 23:50Speaker 2: staff wanted him to play linebackers. So it was something
- 23:53Speaker 2: with his body, his body size, his frame. You think
- 23:57Speaker 2: you can bring him in. And so typically the coaching
- 23:59Speaker 2: staffs we'll say, hey, listen, what do you want to
- 24:02Speaker 2: play to kind of get what the kid wants. And
- 24:04Speaker 2: then you know, they'll say, okay, well that lines up
- 24:07Speaker 2: with you know what we're thinking, or you know, we
- 24:10Speaker 2: would like to give you to give you a shot
- 24:12Speaker 2: at safety, or we'd like to give you a shot
- 24:14Speaker 2: at you know, kind of an outstand up linebacker, maybe
- 24:17Speaker 2: a hand on the ground type of hybrid type of guy.
- 24:21Speaker 2: And that could be at dinner defensive you know, defensive lineman,
- 24:24Speaker 2: or it could be a you know, a really really
- 24:26Speaker 2: big linebacker, or even you know, say with safety and linebackers,
- 24:31Speaker 2: you know, position, it could be a guy who you
- 24:33Speaker 2: know wants to pay one or the other. And it's
- 24:36Speaker 2: just what what what scheme do you have and so
- 24:39Speaker 2: how do you fit in our scheme? And then kind
- 24:41Speaker 2: of what do you want? And I think that with
- 24:43Speaker 2: our friend mister Hunter, who is looks like he's having
- 24:47Speaker 2: a blast in the NFL. Travis Hunter, he is a
- 24:51Speaker 2: guy who was an athlete, but he was pretty pretty
- 24:55Speaker 2: bold with his and said he was a wide receiver
- 24:58Speaker 2: slash defensive back end. We all know that he turned
- 25:01Speaker 2: out to do both of us.
- 25:03Speaker 1: Yep, that's exactly what it is, so you never it's
- 25:07Speaker 1: all there's a lot of evaluation and decision that's made
- 25:11Speaker 1: when it comes to that so great question. Like I said,
- 25:13Speaker 1: I feel free to ask those we're here to teach.
- 25:16Speaker 1: We're always about that. So okay, Coop, about twenty five
- 25:21Speaker 1: minutes in, once again, thank you for pulling up hitt
- 25:25Speaker 1: that like buddon if Nuture Child subscribe rate review, give
- 25:27Speaker 1: us five and Happy Father's Day once again to all
- 25:29Speaker 1: of you who have sent it to us. Hi to
- 25:32Speaker 1: you all, We appreciate it. We're gonna talk future stuff now.
- 25:36Speaker 1: I want to preface this conversation with two things. So
- 25:40Speaker 1: this may be a light rant, but it shouldn't go
- 25:43Speaker 1: too long. So hopefully you guys are with me. Yeah, Freddie,
- 25:51Speaker 1: they are looking to give Braxton Lensing opportunity to play
- 25:53Speaker 1: both sides of the ball. They actually he said that
- 25:56Speaker 1: in the team. I think it's professed that to him
- 25:58Speaker 1: as well. So all right, first off, as y'all know me,
- 26:03Speaker 1: as you know, the way that I do things here
- 26:06Speaker 1: is I try to make sure that not only I
- 26:09Speaker 1: give credit to those who have boots on the ground,
- 26:11Speaker 1: to shout out all the way to like you Insiders's
- 26:14Speaker 1: illustrated Sooner Scoop the guys with the boots on the ground.
- 26:19Speaker 1: Me and Coop are typically not capable, but we appreciate
- 26:22Speaker 1: the footwork to getting those details. Also, if those that
- 26:25Speaker 1: put out publications like the Good Old Bible that just
- 26:28Speaker 1: dropped our guy feels still just dropped the Bible? Whatnot?
- 26:34Speaker 1: Now I always get the early copy. So I've had
- 26:37Speaker 1: this for a couple of weeks. I've been reading through it.
- 26:39Speaker 1: But there's a reason why I haven't dropped a video
- 26:41Speaker 1: on it or shiny details because out of respect to
- 26:43Speaker 1: him and the work that he does, I like to
- 26:46Speaker 1: make sure this stuff is on shelf on the shelf
- 26:48Speaker 1: before we actually talk about it. So I'm a big
- 26:53Speaker 1: proponent of making sure that people that bust their tails
- 26:56Speaker 1: to put this stuff together they get all the accolades,
- 27:00Speaker 1: respect as well as, you know, just acknowledgment that they
- 27:03Speaker 1: put in work. Now, out of that, not only has
- 27:09Speaker 1: he dropped his thoughts on the year ratings and ideas
- 27:13Speaker 1: we're Oklahoma and forecasts or Oklahoma, You've also got Kelly
- 27:16Speaker 1: Ford who drops his stuff on social media. We're gonna
- 27:19Speaker 1: lead with him, and then we'll come back and wrap
- 27:21Speaker 1: up with Phil Steele, and then we'll close with me
- 27:25Speaker 1: and Coop giving you our earliest our June predictions on
- 27:29Speaker 1: the schedule, what we feel like could be potential toss ups,
- 27:32Speaker 1: we could feel like could be potential wins, all of
- 27:34Speaker 1: that jazz here on the coming season. Well, and also
- 27:41Speaker 1: we'll give you our final prediction once fall camp hits.
- 27:45Speaker 1: That's when we'll have a good idea of who's back
- 27:47Speaker 1: who's not. We'll give you our final prediction going into
- 27:49Speaker 1: the season because you know, we always try to make
- 27:52Speaker 1: sure that if the information that we receive changes, we
- 27:56Speaker 1: can give you a more accurate prediction. We don't throw
- 27:58Speaker 1: just ish on the wall. To make sure that we're
- 28:01Speaker 1: treating our people with dignity and respect by actually doing
- 28:04Speaker 1: our research. AnyWho, let's start here, Coop.
- 28:07Speaker 2: Kelly.
- 28:08Speaker 1: Kelly Ford actually spent some time over on that SEC show,
- 28:13Speaker 1: one of the shows all of us thoroughly enjoy, you know,
- 28:16Speaker 1: cousin Shane as well as Mike SEC. Mike, we always
- 28:19Speaker 1: appreciate the way they do things. Kelly went on their
- 28:23Speaker 1: channel yesterday actually I think yesterday, I think Saturday, yes,
- 28:27Speaker 1: and he talks about the SEC and he has some
- 28:29Speaker 1: things about Oklahoma. I'm gonna put this up here so
- 28:31Speaker 1: you guys can see his ratings he put out for
- 28:34Speaker 1: the Sooners. Now, I want you to understand, similar to
- 28:38Speaker 1: ESPN's FPI, this is more so a computer thought process
- 28:43Speaker 1: on how the season could potentially go for Oklahoma. These
- 28:47Speaker 1: are just based upon like running simulations and just the
- 28:51Speaker 1: way the analytics go, based upon the roster, who's their personnel,
- 28:56Speaker 1: historical stuff over the last couple of years, a lot
- 28:59Speaker 1: of different things going to it. This is not the
- 29:02Speaker 1: end all, be all, but it does give you an
- 29:04Speaker 1: idea of where these teams can end up if they
- 29:07Speaker 1: hit bare minimum expectations for Oklahoma. A couple of things
- 29:13Speaker 1: he points out here that got my attention first and foremost,
- 29:15Speaker 1: strength of schedule shrift. The schedule is set at fifth
- 29:20Speaker 1: in the country, and his opinion, based upon his numbers,
- 29:23Speaker 1: we're going to face top five rated ranked defense. So
- 29:29Speaker 1: the defenses we faced, the level of them, are considered
- 29:32Speaker 1: to be ranked top five and everybody the offense we're
- 29:36Speaker 1: gonna see are fourteenth special teams, thirty fifth teams, you know,
- 29:39Speaker 1: special teams, kicking, returning, blah, blah blah. But I think
- 29:44Speaker 1: this is the thing that jumps out to me and folks,
- 29:45Speaker 1: we're gonn look at two things, Coop. One first off,
- 29:48Speaker 1: where he predicts Oklahoma be ranked in on overall in
- 29:54Speaker 1: both sides of the ball. Then the second thing is
- 29:57Speaker 1: we'll look at how he thinks we will fair against
- 30:01Speaker 1: our opponents. Sounds good, leave the way it was. The
- 30:05Speaker 1: first thing predicted rankings. He has Oklahoma to finish sixteenth
- 30:10Speaker 1: in the country, offense to jump from eighty third to thirtieth,
- 30:17Speaker 1: defense to be twelfth, to jump up from seventeenth to
- 30:20Speaker 1: twelfth in the country. Won't really care much about special teams, Coop.
- 30:24Speaker 1: When you see that jump from eighty third in the
- 30:27Speaker 1: country offensive rank to thirtieth, how do you feel about it?
- 30:32Speaker 2: I feel like you got to do it from the
- 30:35Speaker 2: perspective of health first and foremost. We know the super
- 30:40Speaker 2: well documented craziness that happened both on the offensive line
- 30:45Speaker 2: and the wide receiver corps last year. You know, you
- 30:50Speaker 2: come into the beginning of the season with the Jackson
- 30:52Speaker 2: Arnold who is absolutely completely unproven. You're putting your hopes
- 30:56Speaker 2: in a freshman. You hope that the defense was going
- 30:58Speaker 2: to rise a little bit, and that defense, you know,
- 31:02Speaker 2: ranked number seventeen even with putting in overtime damn near
- 31:06Speaker 2: every week, and so you know that is it's like
- 31:11Speaker 2: those boys were welders, you know, working on the Titanic.
- 31:13Speaker 2: Those guys were putting overtime in and you know, not
- 31:18Speaker 2: much help from the other side of the ball, you know,
- 31:19Speaker 2: not much help from the special teams outside of outside
- 31:23Speaker 2: of our punter. You know, that was that was a
- 31:25Speaker 2: lifesaver quite often. But it also shows what respect that
- 31:31Speaker 2: he has for for Jeometier, for Ben Rbuckle, the the
- 31:37Speaker 2: you know, you bring in Fasusi and Foj and I
- 31:39Speaker 2: don't know if you guys have watched the Center scoop
- 31:41Speaker 2: stuff and you've seen you know, some actual uh you know,
- 31:44Speaker 2: real time looks at fo J. I believe that Josh
- 31:48Speaker 2: said it looks like he's put on fifteen pounds of
- 31:50Speaker 2: muscle just since earlier in this year. So I mean,
- 31:56Speaker 2: it's it's it's I don't know if there's going to
- 31:58Speaker 2: be another jump like that on one side of the
- 32:00Speaker 2: ball anywhere in the country. But it kind of goes
- 32:03Speaker 2: to what all Center fans were saying last year. If
- 32:05Speaker 2: we had anything resembling an offense. You know, we could
- 32:09Speaker 2: have done X Y Z. So it's good to see
- 32:12Speaker 2: because I promise you this, guys, and if this is
- 32:16Speaker 2: where if you end up, you know, thirty on offense,
- 32:21Speaker 2: twelve on defense. I mean you're looking at nine and three,
- 32:24Speaker 2: you're looking at ten and two. If you can do
- 32:27Speaker 2: that plus the jump in special teams, you know, I
- 32:29Speaker 2: think that there is a lot to say that, even
- 32:31Speaker 2: though Jake not a big special teams type of guy.
- 32:34Speaker 2: But you know, you've got increases on all sides of
- 32:38Speaker 2: the ball. So you know, based off this, you don't
- 32:40Speaker 2: see any fallback. You don't see any Yeah, but you
- 32:44Speaker 2: know you expect that the defensive line and the safety
- 32:46Speaker 2: room are going to be two massive strengths of this team.
- 32:51Speaker 2: It all depends on health on the outside. But then
- 32:54Speaker 2: the linebackers. You had guys you know and Kip and
- 32:56Speaker 2: Kobe Omaseego, you know, kill Dolby. Reggie Powers is going
- 33:01Speaker 2: to make his name well known this year. So it
- 33:06Speaker 2: looks it looks like a smile on my face in
- 33:09Speaker 2: the fall if everything stays the same and you get
- 33:12Speaker 2: guys healthy back, right.
- 33:14Speaker 1: And that's the most important. So and this is based
- 33:17Speaker 1: upon of course, again these are baseballon Kelly does his
- 33:20Speaker 1: analytics for his ratings in comparison to others and frightening.
- 33:25Speaker 1: I totally understand twelve is a high mark on ESPN's
- 33:28Speaker 1: efficiency rating, and I think it was Warren Sharp's his
- 33:34Speaker 1: defensive like dscore, we were top ten, So I don't
- 33:37Speaker 1: think it's that highever mark to do that on Kelly's.
- 33:40Speaker 1: But I do expect the defense to be better. The
- 33:42Speaker 1: offenses jump at thirty from eighty three to thirty. That's
- 33:46Speaker 1: what fascinates me the most because and make sure you
- 33:51Speaker 1: stick around for when we talk about Phiel Still, I
- 33:54Speaker 1: would feel the same. I'm actually buying now because he
- 33:59Speaker 1: did this in twenty three for Oklahoma, and I'll explain
- 34:02Speaker 1: that in a moment. But for Oklahoma to jump to thirty,
- 34:05Speaker 1: that means that the offensive line is to remain for
- 34:08Speaker 1: the most part healthy. The defense, I'm sorry, offensive line
- 34:19Speaker 1: needs to actually maintain healthy. The wide receiver needs to
- 34:22Speaker 1: maintain healthy, and the running back room needs to be going.
- 34:25Speaker 1: I expect two of those three to easily happen. I
- 34:28Speaker 1: don't expect the offensive line, as you mentioned, Coop, Ryan
- 34:32Speaker 1: Foger and Michael FASUZI have both just jumped out as
- 34:37Speaker 1: big time just they've jumped off the screen. I guess
- 34:44Speaker 1: you could say, for lack of better terms, when it
- 34:46Speaker 1: comes to everybody at practice, they're like, these dudes are
- 34:49Speaker 1: it and they're basically ready to play as true freshmen.
- 34:53Speaker 1: We're not going to throw them out there is true freshmen,
- 34:56Speaker 1: but there is a good chance by later in the
- 34:59Speaker 1: season you will see a lot of both of them.
- 35:02Speaker 1: Oh okay, Friday, you were thinking twelve points. No, not
- 35:03Speaker 1: twelve points. He's talking. I ranked in the top twelve
- 35:06Speaker 1: in the country as a ranking defensive defensive ranking. My apologies,
- 35:11Speaker 1: but the offense moving from eighty third up to thirty
- 35:15Speaker 1: really is gonna hinge on John Mattier. Now we've both
- 35:18Speaker 1: said this, and I preached this. I know people don't
- 35:21Speaker 1: like me spreading the hopium this way, but I've said
- 35:24Speaker 1: this before. Even with John Mattier out there, God forbids
- 35:31Speaker 1: something happens to him. Michael Hawkins having a second year,
- 35:36Speaker 1: having any second year now having a very QB friendly
- 35:40Speaker 1: offense will probably he's guaranteed me twice as good as
- 35:45Speaker 1: he was last year. Yeah, guarantee.
- 35:50Speaker 2: And if you've seen any if you've seen any of
- 35:54Speaker 2: the videos of him stacking days. As his Bobs likes
- 35:56Speaker 2: to say, the guy is jazz. He looks you know,
- 36:02Speaker 2: he looks physically great. We always knew that he had
- 36:06Speaker 2: a you know, great playmaking ability. Yeah, unfortunately, the South
- 36:11Speaker 2: Carolina game through everything off schedule and kind of put
- 36:15Speaker 2: everything back into the uh back in the in the
- 36:18Speaker 2: in the tumble mode. So you know, you don't have
- 36:21Speaker 2: that game. Who knows what is going to happen the
- 36:24Speaker 2: rest of the season, and uh, you know, maybe the
- 36:26Speaker 2: Jackson Arnold you know, transfer News game a lot earlier.
- 36:28Speaker 2: But I do think that having a competent offensive coordinator
- 36:35Speaker 2: that you're working with, he's also you know, learning from
- 36:38Speaker 2: Materier every single day at practice, every single time that
- 36:42Speaker 2: they're going out to throw. Uh, you know, he's watching him.
- 36:45Speaker 2: Matier knows how to run this offense, and so when
- 36:47Speaker 2: it is time for Hawkins to take over, he's going
- 36:50Speaker 2: to have a great grasp of the offense. You're also
- 36:53Speaker 2: not going to have warring uh you know, fights on
- 36:55Speaker 2: the sideline between your OC and your wide receivers coach
- 36:58Speaker 2: or your running back you're offensive line, So there is
- 37:02Speaker 2: a there's a lot to see from that. But you know,
- 37:05Speaker 2: I Jay personally, I think at you know, number thirty,
- 37:09Speaker 2: that is a most likely scenario. There's a chance there
- 37:14Speaker 2: will be. Yeah, there's a chance maybe you know, maybe
- 37:18Speaker 2: earlier in the year you don't have some great stuff.
- 37:20Speaker 2: Maybe some of the defenses who I think across the SEC,
- 37:23Speaker 2: I think the defenses are going to jump up to
- 37:25Speaker 2: a bit. I don't expect the the Alabama defense to
- 37:29Speaker 2: be worse than it was last year. I expect them
- 37:31Speaker 2: to be better. You know, you look at a couple
- 37:34Speaker 2: of teams like Whole Miss maybe not as good, South
- 37:37Speaker 2: Carolina maybe not as good, but I will say this,
- 37:41Speaker 2: you know, it could also go higher. And you know,
- 37:43Speaker 2: I'm not gonna spread the hopium yet because I think
- 37:46Speaker 2: that I want to be able to, you know, get
- 37:48Speaker 2: a little bit further into camp in the fall before
- 37:50Speaker 2: we start, you know, really making some outrageous claims. But
- 37:54Speaker 2: it looks like there's a lot of guys on the
- 37:56Speaker 2: offensive side of the ball. You know, from Elijah Thomas
- 38:00Speaker 2: freshman wide receiver, both of the you know, both of
- 38:04Speaker 2: the Gibsons. You look at both of those guys, you know,
- 38:07Speaker 2: if they can come on the field and be healthy.
- 38:09Speaker 2: You know. Also Dean Burks. Everybody keeps on forgetting about
- 38:12Speaker 2: Dean Burks, and you know he's going to have a
- 38:14Speaker 2: quarterback that can actually throw him the ball, you know,
- 38:16Speaker 2: in consistency, and he's not going to be the only
- 38:18Speaker 2: guy that you know, the quarterback has. This could go higher,
- 38:23Speaker 2: you know, could go lower, but you know it could
- 38:25Speaker 2: go higher. So if we land at this, I think
- 38:28Speaker 2: that you you punch the tickets to the playoffs. If
- 38:30Speaker 2: if this is what it ends up around.
- 38:32Speaker 1: Yeah, and this is bare minimum again, this is this
- 38:34Speaker 1: is if Oklahoma hits the bare minimum of their capabilities
- 38:37Speaker 1: this season, the expectation is at minimum sixteen. This is
- 38:40Speaker 1: technically the floor. Pete say it, but it kind of is,
- 38:43Speaker 1: and it mainly because the schedule is going to be tough.
- 38:47Speaker 1: But look at it this way. All the home games,
- 38:50Speaker 1: Oklahoma is roughly a favorite or right at a at
- 38:56Speaker 1: are forty nine to fifty one, which the LSU game
- 38:59Speaker 1: shows that they are are they are at the forty nine.
- 39:02Speaker 1: Spyle issue would be fifty one. But all the home
- 39:05Speaker 1: games Oklahoma seems cool. The road games is where the
- 39:09Speaker 1: questions come in. But I say this because on the
- 39:11Speaker 1: road game piece, we don't know what Tennessee is gonna
- 39:14Speaker 1: look like. Offensively, We're gotta wait and see. I do
- 39:17Speaker 1: think see as you can see, his offense has them
- 39:20Speaker 1: at thirty third, which that's kind of low if you're
- 39:23Speaker 1: going up against a really good defense. The offense, I mean,
- 39:26Speaker 1: their defense is gonna be better because Tennessee brought back
- 39:29Speaker 1: a lot. Even though they lost Pierce James Pearce junior,
- 39:33Speaker 1: they still got some solid defensive pieces. I still have
- 39:36Speaker 1: questions there, but I do think that they have a
- 39:39Speaker 1: lot of good options there. Uh. Same thing with Alabama.
- 39:44Speaker 1: I have questions on offense for Alabama outside of Ryan Williams.
- 39:47Speaker 1: I need to see what the run game looks like.
- 39:50Speaker 1: I need to see who what the quarterback looks like,
- 39:51Speaker 1: and he's what tied States and if he's the one
- 39:52Speaker 1: that shows up boards gonna be Kilan Russell, Keiland Russell,
- 39:55Speaker 1: I think later in the season if we did face
- 39:57Speaker 1: him around this time, I would be nervous. So I
- 39:59Speaker 1: think Keilan Russell is gonna be really special for them.
- 40:01Speaker 1: But South Carolina again on the road, sure, I think
- 40:05Speaker 1: lenorth Sells is gonna be good. It's gonna bean him
- 40:06Speaker 1: and Nico Harbor. They don't have Rocket Sanders, if I'm
- 40:09Speaker 1: corrects gone gone. So that to me is questions, what
- 40:16Speaker 1: does rock What does it look like there? Uh, Texas
- 40:19Speaker 1: defense should be good. Their offense. We gotta wait and
- 40:22Speaker 1: see what arch Manning puts together. They'll have Florida the
- 40:26Speaker 1: week before, which to me is Florida's gonna be a
- 40:29Speaker 1: lot better than I think. Anticipating, I think Lackway's got it.
- 40:32Speaker 1: If healthy, they make it nervous. It's one of those
- 40:35Speaker 1: beating people up type deals. That's one of those games
- 40:39Speaker 1: where you get beat up and then you gotta come
- 40:40Speaker 1: to the next week surviving a fight on the rope.
- 40:45Speaker 1: That's how Carolina one of those where my questions come
- 40:48Speaker 1: into what Oklahoma truly can look like going forward. They
- 40:52Speaker 1: don't like so they don't face a lot of top
- 40:57Speaker 1: tier offenses outside of SU and Bama based upon these
- 41:03Speaker 1: minimum ranking projections. Yeah, these projections. It's fascinating there the
- 41:07Speaker 1: defense side, though, twelve, This is what we told y'all,
- 41:12Speaker 1: and I said it. We lose Stutsman, you lose Bowman,
- 41:15Speaker 1: you lose the edges. We lost downs, Caden Woolerd, Trace
- 41:20Speaker 1: Ford totally get people's feelings of man, what makes you
- 41:25Speaker 1: know can I goes into the portal, you ask Canada's
- 41:29Speaker 1: defense be better. They're still younger in the most part,
- 41:34Speaker 1: but the defensive line should be one of the best,
- 41:36Speaker 1: and not the best in the SEC. Shout out to
- 41:42Speaker 1: feel still because he actually has Oklahoma rate's the top
- 41:44Speaker 1: defensive line in the SEC right now. Same thing with
- 41:47Speaker 1: Cole Cublic, but we'll get on that in a second.
- 41:51Speaker 1: The bigger thing is that I expect this defense to
- 41:55Speaker 1: statistically be better again because the offense will be way
- 42:00Speaker 1: more confident, a more competent. You have a competent offense
- 42:05Speaker 1: with good play calling that's in a quarterback friendly system,
- 42:10Speaker 1: and I think it can be It'll be ran the
- 42:12Speaker 1: best with Matier because he has three years of experience
- 42:14Speaker 1: in it, but Michael Hawkins will be able to run
- 42:16Speaker 1: this bad boy as well. There's no excuse for his
- 42:20Speaker 1: defense and not be better than what they were last year.
- 42:23Speaker 1: The ESPN's defensive efficiency and like I said, Warren sharps
- 42:27Speaker 1: d score, they were top ten. This team has a
- 42:29Speaker 1: potential to be top eight easily if the offense just
- 42:34Speaker 1: does a really good job of not making them work overtime.
- 42:36Speaker 1: Like you said, Coop, yeah's it.
- 42:40Speaker 2: And you know, I think that when you look at
- 42:43Speaker 2: the games, you lose Ethan downs you play them with
- 42:45Speaker 2: Marvin Jones Junior. You you have PJ. You know, again,
- 42:51Speaker 2: this is probably a year that you need PJ to
- 42:55Speaker 2: be the high four star, five star guy that you
- 42:58Speaker 2: know he was recruited at. You know, he has dealt
- 43:01Speaker 2: with injuries. There have been a lot of expectations on him.
- 43:04Speaker 2: I think that this year there's a good chance that
- 43:07Speaker 2: there's so many different people that you're looking at, so uh,
- 43:11Speaker 2: there's you know, you want to be able to really
- 43:14Speaker 2: just make sure that if that's the case, PJ just knows. Hey, man,
- 43:18Speaker 2: just play within yourself. You don't need to become, you know,
- 43:21Speaker 2: a twelve SAT guy. You don't need to become all that,
- 43:24Speaker 2: and just go out there and give me your best one,
- 43:26Speaker 2: you know, one snap at a time. G Baby, David Stone,
- 43:31Speaker 2: Jaden Jackson, Dom Williams. You've got a good amount of deef.
- 43:36Speaker 2: I mean, I think that we have six defensive tackles.
- 43:39Speaker 2: So what's going to happen is I think with this
- 43:42Speaker 2: defense and where you need where the offense gets some
- 43:46Speaker 2: adjustments and some grace is this is this defense went
- 43:52Speaker 2: out there and didn't have to face the onslaught of
- 43:55Speaker 2: the true offenses that they were facing last year because
- 43:58Speaker 2: there didn't need to be a massive amount of urgency
- 44:00Speaker 2: on the opposing offenses because they knew that, hey, listen,
- 44:03Speaker 2: this is a tough team. They need to turn us over,
- 44:06Speaker 2: they need to get after the quarterback. They're going to
- 44:07Speaker 2: blitz the absolute but Jesus out of you. And so
- 44:11Speaker 2: they could play on schedule and keep that and there
- 44:13Speaker 2: wasn't pressure from the other side of the ball. And
- 44:15Speaker 2: we know that when you when you score on offense,
- 44:18Speaker 2: you force people to sometimes get out of what they are.
- 44:22Speaker 2: And so what that's going to mean is I think
- 44:25Speaker 2: that you know, the running, the running, the defensive rush
- 44:29Speaker 2: yards are probably going to be a little bit on
- 44:31Speaker 2: the lower side this year. You know, they weren't that
- 44:34Speaker 2: bad last year, but you saw when the defense got
- 44:37Speaker 2: you know, got tired from doing the same thing over
- 44:39Speaker 2: and over and over again, you know it, they did
- 44:42Speaker 2: give up a little bit more. And you saw teams
- 44:46Speaker 2: like Auburn, you saw Ole Miss, you saw LSU really
- 44:50Speaker 2: take advantage of defensive backs and run a lot of crossers,
- 44:53Speaker 2: but you had guys like Canai Walker and Woody Washington
- 44:55Speaker 2: out there running for six pluses and they were not
- 44:59Speaker 2: going to be able to stay snap after snap after
- 45:01Speaker 2: snap with some of these pastor ride receivers in the league.
- 45:04Speaker 2: So I think that that's going to help out because
- 45:07Speaker 2: it's going to make people have to make adjustments, you know,
- 45:11Speaker 2: throughout the throughout the day when they're playing Oklahoma, because
- 45:15Speaker 2: the offense is going to be actually out there doing
- 45:17Speaker 2: something on their side of the ball. And if you
- 45:19Speaker 2: get a you know, ten fourteen points, you know lead,
- 45:22Speaker 2: that's where you know, we need to see the defensive
- 45:25Speaker 2: backs show up and be who they are and who
- 45:27Speaker 2: they could be. With the gentry William and Eli Bowen,
- 45:30Speaker 2: you know, I expect Kadie to be over there on
- 45:33Speaker 2: the on the corner side at times, maybe in the
- 45:35Speaker 2: Nickels spot. So you're going to need that stuff to
- 45:38Speaker 2: happen because those guys may dictate, you know, where we
- 45:42Speaker 2: are with the total defense. If if they have struggles
- 45:45Speaker 2: when it is a passing only attack, then that's going
- 45:48Speaker 2: to make it harder to have that top fifteen defense.
- 45:52Speaker 1: That's what's key, is everybody's gonna be able to add
- 45:55Speaker 1: their piece. But if you have an even some line
- 45:56Speaker 1: that is getting the pressure that's needed, it's going to
- 45:59Speaker 1: really help with the secondary and frightening. You're exactly right.
- 46:03Speaker 1: Stuts did a lot of cleaning up him and him
- 46:06Speaker 1: and Kip, and now I expect Kobe to be your
- 46:10Speaker 1: stuffer on the run game. I expect Kendall Daniels potentially
- 46:15Speaker 1: with Kip and a mixture of him and Sammy and
- 46:18Speaker 1: Moseigo being able to fill some of the shoes that
- 46:24Speaker 1: Stutsman had. You'll have to gap two guys do that,
- 46:27Speaker 1: but I do think that they'll be able to clean
- 46:28Speaker 1: that up very very good. And that's the good thing
- 46:32Speaker 1: is now the defense is legitimate. It's everyone understands, no,
- 46:36Speaker 1: this defense is good. Now you're gonna have one of
- 46:37Speaker 1: the best play callers in college football actually make his
- 46:40Speaker 1: return to the sideline, and he'll do it. So yeah,
- 46:43Speaker 1: I expect Sammy to also make that big lead the secondary.
- 46:48Speaker 1: If you get a Gentry, we know Adobe'll be back.
- 46:51Speaker 1: If Gentry is back healthy, in which it appears he is,
- 46:53Speaker 1: and he's tweeting out that he's ready to go big things.
- 46:55Speaker 1: A creditor Eli Bowen's gonna be healthy. You got him,
- 47:00Speaker 1: so those three, Yeah, I expect this secondary to be
- 47:03Speaker 1: a heck of a lot better in coverage with the
- 47:06Speaker 1: with the safety room we have who's been fantastic going forward.
- 47:10Speaker 1: Now when you look at the games, I honestly think
- 47:16Speaker 1: that middle slate is where it's gonna be tough. Playing
- 47:19Speaker 1: Texas is gonna be tough. I think it's gonna be
- 47:21Speaker 1: better than the nineteen percent. I think it's gonna be
- 47:23Speaker 1: a really good matchup between the two. Like I said,
- 47:26Speaker 1: I think Texas defense is really gonna be really good.
- 47:28Speaker 1: We still need to see what the offense turns into,
- 47:30Speaker 1: especially losing a couple of people on the line, but
- 47:33Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be solid. I mean, actually, Friday,
- 47:40Speaker 1: that whole back guy could be good Win or h
- 47:44Speaker 1: Coach Dryling. You got two linebacker coaches who can probably
- 47:47Speaker 1: do that for him now, so I think we've got
- 47:49Speaker 1: a pullback guy to be absolutely honor. I think would
- 47:51Speaker 1: be one of them, usually the strength guy that does it,
- 47:53Speaker 1: because that's the only one that BV won't fight, but
- 47:55Speaker 1: he's gotten better about that, so it'd probably be one
- 47:57Speaker 1: of those linebacker guys that will be in his way.
- 48:00Speaker 1: Allow him to just call everything. And the good thing
- 48:03Speaker 1: is Buckle is good on running offense. He's got Kevin
- 48:05Speaker 1: Wilson in his ear to help them, who was a
- 48:06Speaker 1: former head coach for a couple of spots, so he does.
- 48:08Speaker 1: He's gonna be able to help with being better about
- 48:11Speaker 1: game management, which in those moments is a lot tougher
- 48:14Speaker 1: than people think when you're thinking about eighty different things.
- 48:17Speaker 1: But I think the Texas game is gonna be a
- 48:18Speaker 1: lot more intriguing this South Carolina one. I think we
- 48:22Speaker 1: can pull this one out. My questions on South Carolina
- 48:25Speaker 1: is their defense is gonna probably take a step back.
- 48:28Speaker 1: They had eight starters return last season, and they from
- 48:32Speaker 1: the season before into last season, and a lot of
- 48:35Speaker 1: them are gone to the pros. Like you've got Dylan Stewart,
- 48:38Speaker 1: who is a freak about it. You're breaking in young players,
- 48:42Speaker 1: secondary line linebackers. I think if their defense takes a
- 48:47Speaker 1: step back this year, next year, I think they're more
- 48:49Speaker 1: of a force because then they can really build around
- 48:52Speaker 1: Dylan Stewart. So I think Oklahoma can pull that one.
- 48:54Speaker 1: I ain't got no faith in Old miss. I don't
- 48:56Speaker 1: care what they did in the portal. I saw they
- 48:58Speaker 1: did in the portal last year. We almost at him
- 49:01Speaker 1: with a very incompetent offense. I ain't calling that. In Tennessee.
- 49:06Speaker 1: It's still questions, still questions there. Even in Nayland, it's
- 49:10Speaker 1: still questions. I want to see what Joey Agilar looks like.
- 49:13Speaker 1: If Joey Agilar shows up, then maybe because I think
- 49:18Speaker 1: he ends up winning the starting job over the other guys.
- 49:20Speaker 1: So I don't know, and go.
- 49:23Speaker 2: Ahead, I would say also with ole miss like, I
- 49:26Speaker 2: think that their offense could you know, be about what
- 49:29Speaker 2: it was last year. You know Jackson Dart, you know,
- 49:33Speaker 2: he he looked very pedestrian in that first half, you know,
- 49:37Speaker 2: against US, and there were a lot of games to
- 49:39Speaker 2: where there were a lot of head scratching going on.
- 49:41Speaker 2: But like you said, you know, you lose Walter Nolan,
- 49:44Speaker 2: you know he got hurt early in the game against US.
- 49:47Speaker 2: But you know, I also think that there's gonna be
- 49:49Speaker 2: a ton of pressure right now on ole miss Uh
- 49:52Speaker 2: this year. And I'm wondering if you know, their coach
- 49:57Speaker 2: has a tendency to kind of turn into a little
- 50:00Speaker 2: bit of a joker when things aren't going his way
- 50:03Speaker 2: and people start kind of slinging it back at him.
- 50:06Speaker 2: You know, Alabama. You know, we'll talk about that here
- 50:09Speaker 2: in a few minutes. But you know, again, this is
- 50:11Speaker 2: now two years removed from Alabama, I think that from
- 50:15Speaker 2: Nick Saban. What does this environment and what does this
- 50:19Speaker 2: team look like? They kept a lot of guys on campus.
- 50:23Speaker 2: Did they did they stay because they're Kings of Tuscaloosa?
- 50:27Speaker 2: Did they stay because they really love Kaylen de Boor?
- 50:30Speaker 2: Kaitlyn Boor is a very very good, very very good
- 50:33Speaker 2: offensive coach, and now he has something a little bit
- 50:36Speaker 2: more his flavor. I don't know what he's showing here,
- 50:39Speaker 2: h you're showing a little Twitter action and I don't
- 50:46Speaker 2: know if that is that your screensaver that fellow, yeah.
- 50:50Speaker 1: It is, that was my screensaver.
- 50:52Speaker 2: Will continue. But yeah, you look at these things, and
- 50:56Speaker 2: again I want to say that these are all projections
- 50:58Speaker 2: based off of what everybody feels like it's going to happen.
- 51:01Speaker 2: As of now. We all know that the you know,
- 51:04Speaker 2: the the fall giveth and the fall take it. We
- 51:07Speaker 2: saw it last year and so you know, it'll be
- 51:10Speaker 2: interesting to see what does this OU team do you
- 51:14Speaker 2: know in the fall to avoid You know that catastrophic injury.
- 51:19Speaker 2: You know, are there guys who once we get closer
- 51:21Speaker 2: to football, you know, and I even carry on, uh,
- 51:24Speaker 2: you know, Zion Kearney. Are there guys like that that
- 51:27Speaker 2: you look at and you go okay. These guys now
- 51:29Speaker 2: smell the fall coming and they know that this is
- 51:32Speaker 2: their opportunity to you know, have some revenue share on
- 51:36Speaker 2: you know, the the investment of this team. And those
- 51:39Speaker 2: guys who put in some time, they were asked to be,
- 51:41Speaker 2: you know, something that they didn't plan to be last year.
- 51:45Speaker 2: Bo Bentley, Bentley, Goodness, Gracchus Jametier. They look the same,
- 51:50Speaker 2: these guys. Uh, these guys, they these guys look very
- 51:54Speaker 2: very very similar.
- 51:56Speaker 1: You know.
- 51:58Speaker 2: What you're going to see And we've talked to before.
- 52:01Speaker 2: I say it all the time. When you got a
- 52:02Speaker 2: quarterback that you really believe in that can give you
- 52:04Speaker 2: a great chance, those guys are going to produce. They're
- 52:07Speaker 2: going to give their all and he makes people look better.
- 52:12Speaker 2: And I can't wait to see what he looks like
- 52:14Speaker 2: on the field with you know, the talent that Oklahoma has.
- 52:20Speaker 1: That's the thing that most interesting is there was a
- 52:22Speaker 1: stat that put out there materis time at Washington STATEIM
- 52:25Speaker 1: played with zero blue chips. Yeah, here he's got forty
- 52:29Speaker 1: six and that's just on the Oh. Yeah, so he's
- 52:35Speaker 1: going to be playing with a lot more now he's
- 52:37Speaker 1: playing against a hecker with a lot more talent on
- 52:39Speaker 1: the opposite side of the ball and competition. But having
- 52:42Speaker 1: one of the better defenses in the country, and that's
- 52:44Speaker 1: who you're kind of warming up with against should help you. Now,
- 52:48Speaker 1: last thing, conference schedule wise in the CSD over there,
- 52:51Speaker 1: you'll see underneath all the teams that Oklahoma does not play.
- 52:54Speaker 1: Oklahoma has a conference scheduled difficulty rating of four fourth
- 52:58Speaker 1: out of everybody. Vanderbilt is number two. I believe the
- 53:02Speaker 1: number one one in the SEC is like Mississippi State.
- 53:10Speaker 1: They that's the most difficult in conference schedule, mainly because
- 53:14Speaker 1: they see literally everybody Tennessee, Texas, A and m Florida, Texas, Uh, Georgia.
- 53:20Speaker 1: You know some of the teams they consider gonna be good,
- 53:22Speaker 1: like Ole, miss Missouri, Arkansas, there's as tough. I'm surprised
- 53:28Speaker 1: them not seeing Alabama actually keeps them at the number one.
- 53:33Speaker 1: But they're number one. Vandy's number two, and that I
- 53:37Speaker 1: was actually was looking for trying to figure out who
- 53:38Speaker 1: is the number three one on that list. It's most
- 53:41Speaker 1: like Leeds.
- 53:43Speaker 2: I say Florida. You said Florida. Mississippi State in.
- 53:48Speaker 1: Florida's lower than us. Florida's fifth, we're fourth, Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt's two,
- 53:57Speaker 1: Mississippi State's one. So I'm assuming number three on that list.
- 54:02Speaker 1: Let me trying to think SEC teams that that could
- 54:05Speaker 1: possibly fall to Arkansas. It's probably Arkansas. Let me go
- 54:11Speaker 1: find Arkansas real quick on it's just so I can
- 54:13Speaker 1: confirm that it is them, But it probably is Arkansas.
- 54:16Speaker 1: Makes sense if it was Arkansas because their schedule is
- 54:19Speaker 1: actually pretty brutal. But anyway, when you lay it out
- 54:22Speaker 1: like this, right, Freddy, when you laid us out, schedule
- 54:25Speaker 1: isn't as grueling as people think. We have a lot
- 54:28Speaker 1: of optimal spots, and we'll go through our ups and
- 54:31Speaker 1: who we think is gonna win a loss. But let
- 54:33Speaker 1: me talk some Let me talk some, Peel. Still, thanks
- 54:37Speaker 1: for pulling up. Hit the like button if you're new
- 54:39Speaker 1: to the channel, subscribe rate review, give us five. I
- 54:43Speaker 1: want to talk about phil Steel and his predictions. So
- 54:48Speaker 1: when I talked about it before, Phiel Steel had Oklahoma
- 54:52Speaker 1: as his In two thousand and twenty three, Oklahoma was
- 54:58Speaker 1: his number two surprise team in college football. He said
- 55:03Speaker 1: that Oklahoma would bounce back from the six and seven
- 55:06Speaker 1: season under Brent Viables for the first year. He felt
- 55:09Speaker 1: like with all the returning players that Oklahoma was poised
- 55:12Speaker 1: to make some noise in college football. And guess what,
- 55:16Speaker 1: Oklahoma finished the season ten to two. That's a huge
- 55:20Speaker 1: jump six and seven, ten to two, and Phil said
- 55:24Speaker 1: that's why he had them as his top return his
- 55:27Speaker 1: surprise team because they they everything returning and everything the
- 55:36Speaker 1: way things lined up this year combat to last year
- 55:39Speaker 1: is so much more optimal. Last year, Phil Still said
- 55:41Speaker 1: that we weren't going to be very good. He had
- 55:43Speaker 1: questions around the offensive line, he had questions around the
- 55:47Speaker 1: skills spots, and the biggest question for him was quarterback.
- 55:50Speaker 1: We need to see what these quarterbacks look like. And ironically,
- 55:53Speaker 1: Phil Still was pretty spot on on the struggles that
- 55:56Speaker 1: came through. And now he didn't predict the injuries, but
- 55:58Speaker 1: he did predict that he would toss us these games,
- 56:01Speaker 1: and truth be told, because of the injuries, youth cost
- 56:03Speaker 1: us a lot of games. Yeas at their job this year,
- 56:07Speaker 1: the number one surprise team for Peel still is Oklahoma.
- 56:13Speaker 1: He expects Oklahoma to finish in the top ten. And
- 56:18Speaker 1: when I saw that Coop, I was one hundred percent
- 56:22Speaker 1: in shock. Did not expect it, did not think that
- 56:28Speaker 1: this was gonna be real. It felt a little bit
- 56:31Speaker 1: more like there's absolutely no way. Feel still feels this
- 56:36Speaker 1: about Oklahoma is sure enough he does. We are his
- 56:42Speaker 1: number one team when it comes to surprises, and in
- 56:49Speaker 1: his top forty for the preseason. What do you think
- 56:53Speaker 1: he has Oklahoma finishing. I'm gonna show it in a second,
- 56:56Speaker 1: but I want you to tell me who you think
- 56:57Speaker 1: is where he finishes top forty.
- 56:59Speaker 2: I have no looked at this yet again, not three mins,
- 57:03Speaker 2: sat out in the truck for a few days. I'm
- 57:08Speaker 2: gonna go with ninth, fantastic ninth.
- 57:15Speaker 1: His Oklahoma as his number nine team. I was right
- 57:19Speaker 1: in the country. He thinks Oklahoma lets finished number nine.
- 57:22Speaker 1: D He thinks Oklahoma finish his top team. Next thinks
- 57:25Speaker 1: Michigan finishes right behind us at number ten in the country.
- 57:28Speaker 1: But this is preseason top forty. It's not his power rankings.
- 57:31Speaker 1: It's just one of his many different ranks that he
- 57:35Speaker 1: throws out there in predictions he sees Oklahoma finishing. He
- 57:38Speaker 1: has Oklahoma's the number one surprise team, and a lot
- 57:40Speaker 1: of things that he has written in here makes a
- 57:43Speaker 1: lot of sense. Most improved he has Oklahoma as number
- 57:47Speaker 1: three is the most improved on his sheet. Everything you
- 57:51Speaker 1: can name about Oklahoma being better, he's pointed it out.
- 57:54Speaker 1: The one big one he pointed out even in the
- 57:56Speaker 1: SEC is that he does think Oklahoma makes the playoffs.
- 58:02Speaker 1: He thinks Oklahoma makes the playoffs, which is kind of
- 58:06Speaker 1: crazy to me. I am not ready to say that yet.
- 58:09Speaker 1: And it's not because I'm hedging or anything like that.
- 58:12Speaker 1: I need to see this come to fruition like you are.
- 58:14Speaker 1: I try to be a realist in all of our conversations,
- 58:16Speaker 1: but Phil Steel has given us the look of he
- 58:19Speaker 1: thinks that Oklahoma is going to finish as a top
- 58:22Speaker 1: ten team, and he thinks that they make the playoff.
- 58:24Speaker 1: They're going to be the big surprise for him. Last
- 58:26Speaker 1: time he had Oklahoma as a surprise, they were a
- 58:28Speaker 1: big time surprise. He also has Oklahoma finishing fourth in
- 58:33Speaker 1: the SEC, behind Georgia, Texas, and Alabama tied for fourth
- 58:38Speaker 1: with LSU and Texas, A and M the tiebreaker being
- 58:43Speaker 1: that we outd Texas a we beat LSU, which would
- 58:48Speaker 1: be the one at least US up and nine and
- 58:51Speaker 1: three gets Oklahoma to the playoffs easily want to go
- 58:56Speaker 1: for though ten and two guarantees the spot similar to
- 58:59Speaker 1: ten see last year, but having a veteran quarterback in
- 59:04Speaker 1: a system that he's been in for four years is
- 59:08Speaker 1: a difference maker. He thinks Oklahoma's defensive line is gonna
- 59:12Speaker 1: be one of the best in the country. I think
- 59:16Speaker 1: he has the top has his top five in the country,
- 59:18Speaker 1: tops in the SEC. Right now.
- 59:21Speaker 2: When it comes to see I like to see who
- 59:24Speaker 2: is up there. I guessing Penn State probably one of
- 59:27Speaker 2: the top ones. Texas is going to have a good
- 59:30Speaker 2: defensive line. I don't know who else I would have
- 59:37Speaker 2: up there.
- 59:39Speaker 1: I know, right, that's a tough one. Let me go
- 59:41Speaker 1: pull up his defensive lines. I'm actually pulling up the
- 59:49Speaker 1: Let's see, he's got the schedules, top individual units defensive line.
- 59:55Speaker 1: Oh I was wrong, My bad. The number one defensive
- 59:57Speaker 1: line in the country and feel Steel's eyes is Oklahoma,
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: Clinton's number two, Penn State's number three, number four, and
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: Michigan is number five. SEC Wise Oklahoma's one Alabama's to
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: Texas's three, Florida's for Georgia's five. All the defensive lines,
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: so we have one to be the better defensive lines.
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: He likes Texas linebacker room as the top one in
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: the SEC. Oklahoma is the second one in the SEC,
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: fourth in the country. Second, Dary, we are number twenty
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: in the country, and it's all because our corners are
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: not proven yet. Texas has the number six dbs in
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: the country for Phil Steel, which I like. And then
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: when you go to the offensive side of the ball,
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: which is there's so many questions, just gotta be understanding.
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: All of these are just initial thoughts until we see
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: them on the field. Oh line is thirty fifth in
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: the country, not top ten in even the SEC. That'll
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: be A and M, Florida, Alabama, Auburn, whichever you hans
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: turned a lot of people, so they should be good.
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: Fifth is being Georgia, Arkansas, Missouri, Texas, and then Oklahoma
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: so number nine in the country and offensive line quarterbacks
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: Oklahoma's eighth in the country. So Phil still really likes
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: where our quarterback position looks. Definitely understand that right.
- 1:01:45Speaker 2: Like and Jay say that because I know one of
- 1:01:49Speaker 2: the questions is the Abacamvinsier do it against a top defense?
- 1:01:54Speaker 2: And you put out there the other day about how
- 1:01:57Speaker 2: many defenses that Jeometier went up against that were that
- 1:02:02Speaker 2: were tougher than defenses that Georgia was.
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: Yeah, oh gosh, I have to find that tweet. But
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: there was a there's a lot more than people think
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: when it comes to that, like, but tears actually saw
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: some pretty decent defenses. Oh what I say that they're
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: like the best? No, but Tiers actually crazy. He's given
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: us enough data to understand just how they were hopping around.
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: We're hopping around Washington.
- 1:02:42Speaker 2: Good. Hey, we hear the audio reason not to drop
- 1:02:56Speaker 2: the ball or throw running? Yeap O Rebuca just said,
- 1:03:03Speaker 2: can you hear me on this thing? So he knew
- 1:03:04Speaker 2: that we were going to be doing it.
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: That's funny. I guess they didn't want to mute itself.
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: So that's my bad. We'll bring that out later anyway.
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: That's funny. Oh is still playing the background?
- 1:03:17Speaker 2: Yeah, I just closed that bad boy out.
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: That's funny.
- 1:03:22Speaker 2: There we go.
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: You're here. Oh, I see, I don't think they heard
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: I just think you heard it.
- 1:03:26Speaker 2: Okay, okay, okay, sorry everybody. If you think that I'm crazy,
- 1:03:29Speaker 2: I am.
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: But Cooper is that is exactly what. Yeah, it was
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: just you, It wasn't them. Oh good, that's funny because
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: I know that I did definitely mute that. But yeah, anyway,
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: Washington's defense it was a lot better than expecting. That
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: wasn't the greatest. I'm not saying that it was the
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: best out there, but they did pretty solid in their conference.
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: They did beat didn't they didn't They almost did? They
- 1:04:02Speaker 1: beat Michigan, didn't they? Who? Oh well Washington.
- 1:04:09Speaker 2: Oh let me check, let me look.
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: Uh Wash Washington.
- 1:04:21Speaker 2: Uxques they Michigan lost.
- 1:04:28Speaker 1: Yeah, now, I mean they were abused by Penn State.
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: Same thing with Oregon as well as Indiana and Iowa
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: and Rutgers. But that win was pretty big for them.
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: And then they of course they lost Washington State. So
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: it kind of embarrasses them in the highest manner that
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: they lost them. But they beat USC I remember that. Remember,
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: but tear has played against some actual Charlotte competition. I
- 1:04:53Speaker 1: think everybody's gonna be like, we didn't hear anything. Oh
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: I heard it, So let's said they did hear it,
- 1:04:57Speaker 1: So my bad, that's on me. I thought I had
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: that bad boy munit. But anyway, these two guys are
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: the most important things for Oklahoma. If MATERIIR and our
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: buckle shows up, if you get these type of throws,
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: you get these type of completions, Oklahoma's a good chance.
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: And so feel still, like I said, loves what Oklahoma
- 1:05:21Speaker 1: has to offer. He's extremely high on most of our units.
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: RB unit and I think the running back unit is
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: listed as number five in the country, the number five
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: running back union in the country. That's hot. Xavier Robinson
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: so x rob Tatum, Yeah, Barnes, Yeah, and my bad
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: coach Powers. Yes, your Huskies did beat Michigan and that's
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: what was important. Barnes and having a veteran like Barnes
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: I actually kind of helped a little bit more than
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: people think. I actually am happy at the fact that
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: Barnes is back a lot more than others. I don't
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: expect him to play much, but it's good to have
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: someone that that level of a veteran, you know what
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: I mean.
- 1:06:03Speaker 2: Well, he's a thumper too, and you get to think
- 1:06:05Speaker 2: that like you get a you get a team on
- 1:06:08Speaker 2: the ropes, you know, going in, you know, coming out
- 1:06:10Speaker 2: of the third quarter. Uh, you know you can send
- 1:06:13Speaker 2: in Javante Barnes, and we know that Javante's wiggle has
- 1:06:17Speaker 2: always been a little bit of a question. But uh,
- 1:06:19Speaker 2: he will run up and catch some people. And as
- 1:06:22Speaker 2: long as he can, you know, pick a hole and
- 1:06:24Speaker 2: go down, He's going to put some Uh he's gonna
- 1:06:26Speaker 2: put his body on the line. And uh, you know
- 1:06:29Speaker 2: this is going to be his last year and who
- 1:06:31Speaker 2: knows what his opportunities in the NFL are going to be,
- 1:06:34Speaker 2: but you know he's going to be working for uh
- 1:06:36Speaker 2: at the opportunity to you know, go and get a
- 1:06:39Speaker 2: chance to be on a practice squad, to just get
- 1:06:41Speaker 2: a chance, because I think he could be a you know,
- 1:06:44Speaker 2: a number two back in the NFL, some short yardage pieces,
- 1:06:48Speaker 2: a great scout team guy for you know when you're
- 1:06:51Speaker 2: going up against bigger guys.
- 1:06:53Speaker 1: Yep. And I love the fact that in the wide
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: receiver room, he understands how good Dion Burks can be.
- 1:07:04Speaker 1: He said, a healthy Dion Burks really is going to
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: be big. With Burkes and Gibson returning and adding the transfers,
- 1:07:11Speaker 1: everybody thinks Satanna is going to be that dude. I mean,
- 1:07:14Speaker 1: I think we even feel that exact same way, right,
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: we think that Satanna may be a bigger threat than
- 1:07:22Speaker 1: people realize.
- 1:07:24Speaker 2: Well, I mean if you get you get the opportunity
- 1:07:27Speaker 2: to run you know, Giovanni's on the outside, and then
- 1:07:30Speaker 2: have Satanna and Burks as crossers. You know, you think
- 1:07:35Speaker 2: of having maybe a canic at an HVAC type of
- 1:07:38Speaker 2: a situation, or you know, just split out too in
- 1:07:41Speaker 2: a five wide look that is going to be crossers
- 1:07:44Speaker 2: clearing out the middle. How do you stay with Satanna
- 1:07:48Speaker 2: and Burks? You know going across running crossers. You got
- 1:07:52Speaker 2: the guys going deep, so safeties are going to have
- 1:07:54Speaker 2: to stay it out. So now you're going to have
- 1:07:56Speaker 2: a situation where we have Cannick you know as a
- 1:07:58Speaker 2: potential one on one or even an aught out of
- 1:08:01Speaker 2: the backfield as a one on one against either you know,
- 1:08:05Speaker 2: a stafeye or a linebacker. And we've seen, we've seen
- 1:08:09Speaker 2: what ought can do. You know, if he gets any
- 1:08:11Speaker 2: type of angle on you, he's gone and in the
- 1:08:14Speaker 2: downfield blocking takes over organic. You know, if you go
- 1:08:17Speaker 2: back and watch those you know, his high school film,
- 1:08:20Speaker 2: do trucks some people and if you give him just
- 1:08:23Speaker 2: you know, an easy you know, release catch, you know,
- 1:08:26Speaker 2: six seven yards past the offensive line, defensive line, and
- 1:08:29Speaker 2: now you are a safety. Look into one on one,
- 1:08:32Speaker 2: square him up. I promise you Canic is crazy enough
- 1:08:35Speaker 2: that he will just go put his head right into
- 1:08:37Speaker 2: that guy's chest. And it makes business decision time a
- 1:08:40Speaker 2: little bit you know more uh, you know, tentative the
- 1:08:43Speaker 2: next time around.
- 1:08:45Speaker 1: It does, it does, and business decisions are something that
- 1:08:48Speaker 1: we hope a lot of people make when you come
- 1:08:50Speaker 1: to this one. Another thing is his offensive line should
- 1:08:59Speaker 1: be a lot better with the two dudes. Hey, young guys, Yeah,
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: young guys. That's the key thing is that you got
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: two young guys that you feel comfortable playing immediately. Even better,
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: you've got a full veteran offensive line that has gotten
- 1:09:16Speaker 1: their tail kicked in the SEC and know what to do.
- 1:09:18Speaker 1: They've also kicked tail in the SEC, so they know
- 1:09:21Speaker 1: both sides of it. They know which one which way
- 1:09:24Speaker 1: to go when it comes to how to prepare, and
- 1:09:28Speaker 1: they understand what they need to do to be better.
- 1:09:31Speaker 1: And I like the fact that they've been able, they've
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: listened and they've learned. But when you got Foge and
- 1:09:37Speaker 1: Fasusi right there ready, who's gonna be pushing the guys
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: in front of them they can play.
- 1:09:43Speaker 2: Yeah, and a shout out to Bill Betenbo. He is
- 1:09:47Speaker 2: swimmed up in the offseason. I think Bill's down, you know,
- 1:09:51Speaker 2: twenty five pounds. He looks slim, and he looks like
- 1:09:55Speaker 2: a he looks like a guy who is just taking
- 1:09:58Speaker 2: the season. Uh, you know as a as as more
- 1:10:01Speaker 2: than just football success, but you know personal success too.
- 1:10:05Speaker 2: So you know, again, the offensive line is going to
- 1:10:07Speaker 2: be you know what we said last year, it's going
- 1:10:10Speaker 2: to go and stop with them. If those guys can
- 1:10:13Speaker 2: you know, become one of the better units in the country,
- 1:10:16Speaker 2: one of the better units in the SEC, it gives
- 1:10:19Speaker 2: us an absolute uh you know, another piece of quality,
- 1:10:23Speaker 2: you know, upgrade that we didn't have last year. And Jay,
- 1:10:28Speaker 2: what's kind of fun about it is you've got a
- 1:10:31Speaker 2: lot of dudes across the board who are who are
- 1:10:35Speaker 2: ready to go. You know, you have Ben Holland, you
- 1:10:38Speaker 2: have Heathosida, You've got you know both Jacob Sexton, you
- 1:10:45Speaker 2: Jake Taylor, you know all those guys are out there.
- 1:10:47Speaker 2: You still have epl wants to get on the field.
- 1:10:51Speaker 2: I mean it is an absolute, uh, you know, opportunity
- 1:10:54Speaker 2: for this, uh, this offensive line too, to prove that
- 1:10:58Speaker 2: they took the lesson from last year and they have improved.
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: Yep and and Chuck yah no more so, I just
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: starting running back. That's kind of why, you know, with Barnes,
- 1:11:11Speaker 1: I'm glad he's back. He's a senior. I don't think
- 1:11:15Speaker 1: transferring would have done much for him. So you get
- 1:11:18Speaker 1: a veteran who has is a leadership, who you know
- 1:11:20Speaker 1: is gonna work hard. There's a good chance he could
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: play still, he could go out there. We don't know.
- 1:11:25Speaker 1: We don't, I really don't. I know that it's hot.
- 1:11:28Speaker 1: I know you gotta see x Rob as well as
- 1:11:31Speaker 1: the Tatums. It's gonna be mixing four backs and then Blaylock.
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: I've been quiet about the true freshman, but I know
- 1:11:38Speaker 1: the kid is nice. I know he is nice.
- 1:11:43Speaker 2: He is very, very nice.
- 1:11:49Speaker 1: But the question is is his frame ready for SEC
- 1:11:52Speaker 1: ball yet? But no, it's and I get what you're
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: saying to you know, Chuck, like you know, being politically
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: correct on that of you know, I'm glad his bag
- 1:12:00Speaker 1: may not play. It's really like I said, like you
- 1:12:03Speaker 1: just mentioned, it's really the leadership component of him. I
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: think because of the injuries that Barnes has sustained throughout college,
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: which has really hampered him most of his time. He's
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: probably looking at the coaching route. You know, he may
- 1:12:17Speaker 1: try to go hit some camps see if he can,
- 1:12:19Speaker 1: you know, revive himself as an undrafted free agent. But
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: I think for him it's gonna be the coaching route.
- 1:12:25Speaker 1: So for him, if he's focusing on coaching, then what boom,
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: he's gonna be teaching those other backs how to continue
- 1:12:33Speaker 1: to work hard, hit the right holes just because he's
- 1:12:36Speaker 1: not fast enough. I mean, he can't tell somebody else
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: how to do it right. DeMarco Murray is an anomaly
- 1:12:40Speaker 1: in that in the coaching world that he was a
- 1:12:42Speaker 1: really good NFL running back, and you know, he's shown
- 1:12:45Speaker 1: us that he could. He he has a lot of
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: kids that want to follow in his footsteps. Let's put
- 1:12:49Speaker 1: it that way. Yeah, we just got to get go
- 1:12:51Speaker 1: ahead and close the deal. All right, Cool, let's wrap
- 1:12:53Speaker 1: this up. Put a bow on it. Think you got
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: pulling up his flight button due to the chilence. Subscribe
- 1:12:58Speaker 1: red review give us five to cut these last couple
- 1:13:01Speaker 1: of minutes, last few minutes could be a little bit longer.
- 1:13:03Speaker 1: Look at the schedule June. Look, we want to go
- 1:13:08Speaker 1: that a SEC show has already gone through and pointed
- 1:13:10Speaker 1: out guaranteed losses. They've pointed out they pointed out losses,
- 1:13:17Speaker 1: they pointed out toss ups, and they taught up guaranteed wins. Now,
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: we know we're gonna we're gonna just keep it a
- 1:13:23Speaker 1: buck here, and you know that we try to be
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: as fair as possible around these streets, but we're gonna
- 1:13:29Speaker 1: be one hundred percent honest here. It's three wins on
- 1:13:31Speaker 1: this schedule. Illinois State, Kent State, Temple. All three of
- 1:13:37Speaker 1: those teams have dealt with coaching changes, fires, new players
- 1:13:40Speaker 1: on the roster, all of that. So we ain't gonna
- 1:13:43Speaker 1: pretend like they ain't guarantee wins. Cool, that's your three
- 1:13:46Speaker 1: wits now based upon the analytics, a lot of everybody's
- 1:13:53Speaker 1: got us beat Michigan. Same thing with Auburn. That's five.
- 1:13:59Speaker 1: That's that's start the season five and oh, very good chance.
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: Now Auburn's got a really good offensive line because it's
- 1:14:04Speaker 1: more veteran good wide receivers. The question is what their
- 1:14:07Speaker 1: quarterback play gonna look like and can their defense play well? Also,
- 1:14:12Speaker 1: they brought in a lot of transfers to but five
- 1:14:16Speaker 1: and oh heading into red River, they had red River
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: as a loss. LSU is a lost. Every other conference
- 1:14:24Speaker 1: game is a toss up coop as the start with
- 1:14:29Speaker 1: the toss ups? Which direction do you think these games
- 1:14:32Speaker 1: can go for your toss ups?
- 1:14:34Speaker 2: Michigan first, Michigan first. So Michigan is Michigan is a
- 1:14:39Speaker 2: team that had the offensive woes that we had, maybe
- 1:14:43Speaker 2: even worse last year. They had Edwards on the cover
- 1:14:48Speaker 2: of the video game, and you know, their offense was
- 1:14:52Speaker 2: really really bad, even with a decent running attack. They
- 1:14:57Speaker 2: get a chump before playing, so it's not like we
- 1:15:01Speaker 2: have to catch them after. I think they are playing
- 1:15:04Speaker 2: New Mexico week one, Saturday, August thirtieth, then they come
- 1:15:10Speaker 2: to the crib. Now I will say this, Michigan is
- 1:15:14Speaker 2: coming to Oklahoma on September sixth. Unless it's raining, it's
- 1:15:19Speaker 2: going to be hot as hell. And those voice they
- 1:15:23Speaker 2: don't understand that, they don't. I mean, that's that's a
- 1:15:26Speaker 2: that's a number one. Whoever you have coming in at quarterback,
- 1:15:31Speaker 2: whether it is the you know, the five million dollar
- 1:15:34Speaker 2: freshman or in Underwood or I can't remember the other
- 1:15:39Speaker 2: the other transfer that they got. But whoever it is,
- 1:15:42Speaker 2: is it going to be a game manager or a freshman.
- 1:15:45Speaker 2: And you're not going to tell me that this defense
- 1:15:48Speaker 2: isn't ready to put a marquee win on their you know,
- 1:15:53Speaker 2: on their on their in their belts. So I see
- 1:15:57Speaker 2: this as a game that both these teams are to come.
- 1:16:00Speaker 2: They're going to feel each other out, and I think, oh,
- 1:16:02Speaker 2: you pull us away comfortably. I see this as a
- 1:16:05Speaker 2: ten points mus win.
- 1:16:07Speaker 1: Same don't. I don't so for them, it's it's Bryce
- 1:16:12Speaker 1: under was gonna be the starting quarterback. They brought in
- 1:16:14Speaker 1: Mikey Keen, and I don't think Mikey Keen was brought
- 1:16:17Speaker 1: to actually play. Jaydon Davis is still young and Davis
- 1:16:20Speaker 1: Warren is still in the roster two guys who have
- 1:16:22Speaker 1: been in the offense before. Warren's a red shirt senior,
- 1:16:25Speaker 1: Davis is a red shirt freshman. But I don't think either, Yeah,
- 1:16:29Speaker 1: you know, I don't think Mikey Keen is gonna actually
- 1:16:32Speaker 1: play for them. I'm just gonna say that that is
- 1:16:34Speaker 1: a that is a insurance play because you want to
- 1:16:41Speaker 1: make sure that your true freshman is ready to go.
- 1:16:43Speaker 1: And Mikey King was decent at Fresno State, and I
- 1:16:48Speaker 1: emphasized the word decent. He threw for twenty eight hundred yards,
- 1:16:52Speaker 1: eighteen touchdowns, eleven picks.
- 1:16:56Speaker 2: Yeah, we saw we saw nicolast year, and Nico was
- 1:17:02Speaker 2: touted as that dude. All right, It was him taken
- 1:17:05Speaker 2: over the offense.
- 1:17:07Speaker 1: They took the ball quarterback the offense.
- 1:17:10Speaker 2: Yeah, and and they took they took the ball out
- 1:17:12Speaker 2: of his hands after who was it after RSJ Robert
- 1:17:16Speaker 2: Schipris jennings On a blitz hit him in the elbow.
- 1:17:20Speaker 2: I think that was one of the turnovers that we
- 1:17:21Speaker 2: turned around and get it right back to them on.
- 1:17:24Speaker 2: But after that, it was no longer about going and
- 1:17:28Speaker 2: beating Oklahoma. It was holding on for dear life. It
- 1:17:31Speaker 2: was not making any more mistakes. And so Michigan lost
- 1:17:35Speaker 2: a lot. You know, they lay lost the at the cornerback.
- 1:17:42Speaker 2: His name, last name Washington, is that right, No? Well Johnson,
- 1:17:46Speaker 2: Will Johnson, Will Johnson. Yeah, So they lose him, they
- 1:17:50Speaker 2: lose you know, top ten pick on the on the offense,
- 1:17:54Speaker 2: defensive line. They lose a couple other guys, but Michigan
- 1:17:57Speaker 2: reloads on those lines. Those are those are big time,
- 1:18:00Speaker 2: big ten defensive linemen. I just don't see a freshman
- 1:18:05Speaker 2: coming in here and you know, finding much success against
- 1:18:09Speaker 2: this team who actually can play complimentary football.
- 1:18:12Speaker 1: Yeah, shout out to and focus has always been making
- 1:18:20Speaker 1: sure that he's got a really good offensive line. I'm
- 1:18:25Speaker 1: not even gonna even question him when it comes to that.
- 1:18:30Speaker 2: I was gonna say Jay also, and Telfer pointed it out.
- 1:18:32Speaker 2: I didn't want to really bring it up since suff
- 1:18:33Speaker 2: for seven here, there's some rumors that Underwood's having the
- 1:18:37Speaker 2: issues with the body he is. He is having a
- 1:18:40Speaker 2: little uh you know, Dallas Luca, Don Dunkovich, Dounefitch, Doncitch.
- 1:18:44Speaker 2: Good God, I can't talk at all today, but he
- 1:18:47Speaker 2: has showing up a little soft and non taking the
- 1:18:51Speaker 2: fitness plan as well. So it's going to be minimum
- 1:18:56Speaker 2: of ninety five ninety six degrees, uh, you know for
- 1:18:59Speaker 2: that game, and you bet your sweet butt even add
- 1:19:02Speaker 2: six thirty. You know, he's gonna he's gonna have to
- 1:19:05Speaker 2: have that fitness right. So maybe he gets it better.
- 1:19:07Speaker 2: But again, I still, regardless of in shape or feelsbury,
- 1:19:12Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be a tough task for Michigan.
- 1:19:14Speaker 1: Yeah, he's gonna be a little fluffy. We know that.
- 1:19:16Speaker 1: So but yeah, in that heat, it's gonna be Yeah,
- 1:19:22Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough for them. Then when it comes
- 1:19:24Speaker 1: to that, so I got Michigan losing that, I think
- 1:19:26Speaker 1: that's gonna be a double digit one. I think right
- 1:19:28Speaker 1: now we are one point favorites in that game or
- 1:19:32Speaker 1: one point dogs. I think DraftKings dropped their early spreads
- 1:19:37Speaker 1: on that one. I haven't seen anything on fan duel.
- 1:19:40Speaker 1: I haven't seen anything on bet us yet for that
- 1:19:44Speaker 1: particular game. Uh, because I mean, of course opening weekend
- 1:19:49Speaker 1: we're like probably, I don't think we eve gonna have
- 1:19:51Speaker 1: a spread up for opening weekend for us, So just
- 1:19:54Speaker 1: don't even don't even look forward. But I do exp
- 1:20:00Speaker 1: expect us to move. I expect us to move more
- 1:20:11Speaker 1: as a favorite after the first week. All you gotta
- 1:20:17Speaker 1: do is see what Materi can do. That's really the
- 1:20:18Speaker 1: biggest question. No one cares about anything besides what the
- 1:20:22Speaker 1: heck is geometer is. Is geometer gonna be as good
- 1:20:27Speaker 1: as advertised? If materials as good as advertised, then yeah,
- 1:20:33Speaker 1: we'll be finding that capacity from there. Auburn, Oh yeah,
- 1:20:42Speaker 1: Sean bab likes blitzing young quarterbacks and that will have
- 1:20:46Speaker 1: another one back to back. You got Auburn. Auburn comes
- 1:20:49Speaker 1: in roster wise, let's see, let's pull up their depth
- 1:20:58Speaker 1: pup their depth chart right now looking at it. This
- 1:21:03Speaker 1: one's a good one, Coop. They got a lot of
- 1:21:07Speaker 1: transfers in. They got in three five quarterback, five players
- 1:21:11Speaker 1: that should be transferred on offense, returning a lot of
- 1:21:14Speaker 1: defensive players. But their offensive line. They brought in three
- 1:21:18Speaker 1: offensive linemen that are transfers that could start, with three
- 1:21:21Speaker 1: more that could be backups and then true freshmen. Now
- 1:21:25Speaker 1: the line is supposed to be the best line they
- 1:21:26Speaker 1: got they've had in a bit. But it's all gonna
- 1:21:32Speaker 1: hinge on Jackson Arnold, Ashton Daniels or duce Knight, which
- 1:21:35Speaker 1: I've heard duce Night maybe winning that job. That is now,
- 1:21:37Speaker 1: I know that they don't want duce Knight to start
- 1:21:41Speaker 1: on the road against Baylor, but by that time, I
- 1:21:47Speaker 1: have a feeling duce Knight wins that job. And I
- 1:21:50Speaker 1: think they brought in two more quarterbacks, two out of
- 1:21:52Speaker 1: the portal, if you want me to be honest, Yes, no,
- 1:21:57Speaker 1: that was o miss that was dealing with injuries and
- 1:21:59Speaker 1: quarterback mamas.
- 1:22:00Speaker 2: All right, They they do have. I mean, they do
- 1:22:03Speaker 2: have Duce Knight, and I think they brought in another
- 1:22:04Speaker 2: dude at Auburn, so they're going to have three guys
- 1:22:07Speaker 2: in there. But let's hop in because Auburn has South
- 1:22:13Speaker 2: Alabama the week before, so again they're not looking at
- 1:22:17Speaker 2: a juggernaut, you know, the week before playing here. If
- 1:22:21Speaker 2: it's Jackson Arnold motivation, ain't going to get it done.
- 1:22:25Speaker 2: I mean, he is going to have to be the
- 1:22:27Speaker 2: stories about a mom lifting up a car off the
- 1:22:30Speaker 2: baby top of adrenaline, rush to to play out of
- 1:22:33Speaker 2: his mind. I don't think that. I don't think that,
- 1:22:37Speaker 2: whether it's him or Duce Night, I don't think that
- 1:22:39Speaker 2: they can do this. They do have Lambert, they do
- 1:22:42Speaker 2: have Coleman. Those are some good wide receivers, and if
- 1:22:45Speaker 2: they can find a guy to give them opportunities, that's
- 1:22:49Speaker 2: you know, that's what you should do. But I do
- 1:22:52Speaker 2: think this is no did he leave he was a senior.
- 1:22:56Speaker 2: He's a senior, that's right.
- 1:22:57Speaker 1: There's another They got Eric Singleton junior though from Tech,
- 1:23:03Speaker 1: who is good. He is a legitimate good player. That's
- 1:23:12Speaker 1: who I know that Singleton with Cam Coleman and Michael
- 1:23:18Speaker 1: Simmons I think, Yeah, Candre Lambert is.
- 1:23:21Speaker 2: With the Chargers, all right, so disregard that.
- 1:23:25Speaker 1: Sorry, Yeah, it happens to the best subfens. But no,
- 1:23:27Speaker 1: but on that you've got, they've got some solid wide receivers.
- 1:23:30Speaker 1: Offensive line is where I'm curious to see what it
- 1:23:32Speaker 1: turns into with all these transfers in. But and then
- 1:23:38Speaker 1: their running back room, Damari Austin is going to be
- 1:23:44Speaker 1: a very intriguing running back for them. I know they
- 1:23:48Speaker 1: got in the back. Was it Darrel Robinson? He transferred
- 1:23:51Speaker 1: in this year, So.
- 1:23:59Speaker 2: They don't some big some big size at tight end. Yeah,
- 1:24:02Speaker 2: big size at tight end too. Yeah, but your quest
- 1:24:06Speaker 2: Hunter Jocquez Hunter, Yeah, he is, I think probably one
- 1:24:11Speaker 2: of the best running backs in the SEC last year.
- 1:24:14Speaker 2: And they just could not find the intelligence to keep
- 1:24:18Speaker 2: giving that man the rock and give it to him
- 1:24:20Speaker 2: in appropriate times. And man, I just Peyton Thorn was
- 1:24:26Speaker 2: Peyton Peyton thorpe was Payton Thorn. But you're either gonna
- 1:24:28Speaker 2: have a freshman or worse than Peyton's worn out there.
- 1:24:31Speaker 1: I don't blame Peyton Thorn for his play there when
- 1:24:36Speaker 1: their head coach should have known that that was going
- 1:24:38Speaker 1: to happen. That has been my take on all of that.
- 1:24:41Speaker 1: You don't do that. You know your quarter, Yeah, if
- 1:24:43Speaker 1: you know you have questions, don't beat that. Don't do that.
- 1:24:46Speaker 1: Don't do that to yourself. Don't do that. So I've
- 1:24:50Speaker 1: given Auburn to w I give it. I think we
- 1:24:52Speaker 1: beat Auburn. I think we take them down. We should
- 1:24:57Speaker 1: go into red River at five and zero. That's now
- 1:25:01Speaker 1: the game. That's the question. What do you think about
- 1:25:06Speaker 1: red River now?
- 1:25:06Speaker 2: Coop, Well, this is the one where they got Florida
- 1:25:11Speaker 2: the week before. I'm not sure who they have that
- 1:25:16Speaker 2: following week. Who do they have after because I feel
- 1:25:20Speaker 2: like they had a little bit of an easier game.
- 1:25:23Speaker 1: They have a cake game. The following week is when
- 1:25:27Speaker 1: they actually get to get a break they actually have
- 1:25:31Speaker 1: at well, they travel to Kentucky after US.
- 1:25:33Speaker 2: Okay, so they know it's going to be lunch palo
- 1:25:36Speaker 2: game afterwards.
- 1:25:37Speaker 1: In theory, it should be an easier game, while at
- 1:25:40Speaker 1: the same time, Kentucky is infamous for being a very
- 1:25:44Speaker 1: physical team. Yeah, that's if anything Mark Steub does very
- 1:25:49Speaker 1: well there is They're always physical.
- 1:25:53Speaker 2: This is your rivalry. Game does not matter in this one.
- 1:25:58Speaker 2: You know, last time you go in to was it
- 1:26:00Speaker 2: three years ago, Dylan Gabriel gets his concussion. Who was it?
- 1:26:06Speaker 2: TCU Right, they're the concussion distributors against the Sooners. You
- 1:26:11Speaker 2: got an h bac playing playing quarterback. You have two
- 1:26:14Speaker 2: guys who came in and never did anything anywhere else
- 1:26:18Speaker 2: at quarterback. You know, late in the game, I think
- 1:26:21Speaker 2: you had was it? It was at the Eric Gray
- 1:26:25Speaker 2: Eric Gray was you know they were moving the ball
- 1:26:28Speaker 2: up and down. You just literally get to a spots
- 1:26:30Speaker 2: where you can dice the field and all the trickery, nothing,
- 1:26:33Speaker 2: nothing else is happening. They come back the next year, Uh,
- 1:26:37Speaker 2: they you wins. Then last year again kind of same
- 1:26:41Speaker 2: thing is you have a Michael Hawkins starting the Red
- 1:26:45Speaker 2: Rover Red River game. Tight game. Uh, you know we
- 1:26:49Speaker 2: moved up and down, miss field goals, and again you
- 1:26:53Speaker 2: have rent Vnables on the sideline yelling we have to
- 1:26:56Speaker 2: score if we're going to win this game. To his defense,
- 1:27:00Speaker 2: it's a rivalry game. It can I mean this one
- 1:27:02Speaker 2: he continues to be a toss up. What does Texas
- 1:27:05Speaker 2: look like? What does Arch look like? What does that
- 1:27:07Speaker 2: offense look like? I don't I don't want to say
- 1:27:11Speaker 2: that Arch is going to replicate numbers that he's at
- 1:27:15Speaker 2: in the past. But this is a guy who has
- 1:27:17Speaker 2: never thrown for even three thousand yards anywhere in high
- 1:27:20Speaker 2: school or anything like that. You know, he came in
- 1:27:23Speaker 2: against a couple of teams that, you know, we're lower,
- 1:27:28Speaker 2: lower quality teams, and he didn't he didn't lose the
- 1:27:31Speaker 2: game for them. Now everything's on his shoulders. It's Heisman
- 1:27:35Speaker 2: National Championship. You know, a lot of people have them
- 1:27:38Speaker 2: with high expectations. I think a lot of that's with
- 1:27:40Speaker 2: the defense and the receiver play that they have. So
- 1:27:45Speaker 2: as of right now, I would still say that Texas
- 1:27:49Speaker 2: has a has the advantage over ou But I still
- 1:27:53Speaker 2: think that you know this because this is one that
- 1:27:55Speaker 2: I expect could go either way.
- 1:27:57Speaker 1: Yeah, me too. I think there's a lot of could
- 1:28:00Speaker 1: go anyway in this one as well. When you look
- 1:28:04Speaker 1: at the actual depth chart, the offensive line has one
- 1:28:13Speaker 1: returning starter in DJ Campbell. Yes, Jonathan, we did put
- 1:28:19Speaker 1: Oklahoma put Oklahoma beating Michigan. They have one returning starter
- 1:28:26Speaker 1: on the offensive line of DJ Campbell. Baker's coming. It's
- 1:28:29Speaker 1: moving up. Sophomore co Hunter replaces Majors. Jumio Zulu comes
- 1:28:36Speaker 1: in at guard, replacing I just forget Connor Hayden, That's
- 1:28:43Speaker 1: who it was. And then your left tackle, You've got Gooseby,
- 1:28:50Speaker 1: who's solid. He's gonna replace a nice and strong Kelvin
- 1:28:55Speaker 1: Banks who got drafted in the first round.
- 1:28:58Speaker 2: And I think Majors is a big lost too. U Majors,
- 1:29:01Speaker 2: this guy who I think got hurt two years ago,
- 1:29:05Speaker 2: and you know, or right before the the Red River game,
- 1:29:09Speaker 2: he went out or he tried to try to tough
- 1:29:11Speaker 2: it out, try to get it out, and I think
- 1:29:13Speaker 2: that they had snap issues. They had some interior protection
- 1:29:16Speaker 2: issues too. The for oh you to win that game,
- 1:29:19Speaker 2: they are going to have to bring out that type
- 1:29:21Speaker 2: of fire like they did two years ago.
- 1:29:24Speaker 1: No, no, no, I agree, And truth, we're not saying
- 1:29:28Speaker 1: that you're taking this completely wrong. Did those did they
- 1:29:34Speaker 1: have starting snaps? Yes? Did they start the entire season? No,
- 1:29:37Speaker 1: it's a difference like they weren't the initial set of starters.
- 1:29:41Speaker 1: Is my point for Oklahoma. We have ten players with
- 1:29:48Speaker 1: starting experience on the offensive line. I'm not saying that
- 1:29:52Speaker 1: I'm pointing out the guys that actually started majority of
- 1:29:55Speaker 1: the season are the ones that I'm focused on, The
- 1:29:59Speaker 1: ones that back film up that had a start, you know,
- 1:30:01Speaker 1: five starts, six four, three starts, four starts here, I
- 1:30:05Speaker 1: still they still need experience. So yeah, your line is
- 1:30:09Speaker 1: played together for a while. That's the good thing. My
- 1:30:12Speaker 1: points don't still stands. You're placing all but one starter
- 1:30:17Speaker 1: like for the entire for like like majority of the
- 1:30:19Speaker 1: game season. That's what I'm saying is that for us,
- 1:30:26Speaker 1: we played a whole bunch of true freshmen and reshir
- 1:30:29Speaker 1: freshman who had zero starts last year going into the game.
- 1:30:32Speaker 1: Now they've got hundreds of snaps. So my point not
- 1:30:37Speaker 1: that I didn't say anybody's suck. I'm saying that you're
- 1:30:40Speaker 1: placing your entirementive line. That's really it. Besides DJ Campbell, Now,
- 1:30:45Speaker 1: I know Gooseby is good. I've seen him play some
- 1:30:47Speaker 1: starter snaps and he's been good in some games. He
- 1:30:49Speaker 1: wasn't Kevin Banks. We'll just say that. Uh but and
- 1:30:54Speaker 1: then Baker, we'll see what these turns out to be.
- 1:30:56Speaker 1: But yeah, you got that line. You got they're experienced
- 1:31:00Speaker 1: with Arch manning, which is what's most important. Arch is
- 1:31:02Speaker 1: gonna be your important thing, bringing a new tight end
- 1:31:05Speaker 1: and injuries and I uh that that just tears me up.
- 1:31:08Speaker 1: That kid's gonna be good. I like him tight end
- 1:31:12Speaker 1: from from cal He's good. He's gonna be real good.
- 1:31:19Speaker 1: And Shark does a really good job with with scheming
- 1:31:26Speaker 1: your tight ends open does a really good job of that.
- 1:31:31Speaker 1: That's what's important defense wise, though, to me, the struggle
- 1:31:37Speaker 1: for Texas is gonna be just the interior. That's why
- 1:31:42Speaker 1: they brought in five transfers, which is still wild to me.
- 1:31:48Speaker 1: Of course, you got Simmons and heell tray more. I
- 1:31:55Speaker 1: like Taffy as well as Mohammed in the secondary. Actually
- 1:32:02Speaker 1: like Kobe Black a lot. I think he should fight
- 1:32:05Speaker 1: over Jalen and try to get his way into as
- 1:32:07Speaker 1: a starter. But the defense is gonna be the anchor
- 1:32:12Speaker 1: for Texas period. They're gonna be the anchor timp. For Oklahoma,
- 1:32:16Speaker 1: there'll be the anchor. But it's also red River, so
- 1:32:21Speaker 1: it's toss up. We were supposed to lose the one
- 1:32:24Speaker 1: twenty three, at least that's what I was told by everybody.
- 1:32:27Speaker 1: No chance Oklahoma wins that game. Oklahoma win won that game.
- 1:32:32Speaker 1: So if this is the most improved one since that team,
- 1:32:37Speaker 1: I think Oklahoma can steal this w I think they
- 1:32:40Speaker 1: can mainly because the OC and the quarterbacks played together
- 1:32:43Speaker 1: for three years, and now we're just teaching the wide
- 1:32:46Speaker 1: receivers and this is a way more friendly offense in
- 1:32:51Speaker 1: comparison to last year. So I think Okahoma can steal it. Well.
- 1:32:54Speaker 1: Mark Owen is a w what about you, Coop?
- 1:32:58Speaker 2: I'm still too early. I mean, I want to see
- 1:33:01Speaker 2: what what is all this?
- 1:33:03Speaker 1: We're purposely going super early.
- 1:33:05Speaker 2: I mean, can Oklahoma win this game? I think that
- 1:33:08Speaker 2: I think that yes, with the defense and a competent offense.
- 1:33:11Speaker 2: I don't I don't care what anybody says, especially you truth.
- 1:33:15Speaker 2: Arch Maning hasn't done what Jeometerer and it's not even
- 1:33:17Speaker 2: been close. Arch Maning came in and no pressure games
- 1:33:20Speaker 2: against nobody's and he also had a had a big run.
- 1:33:25Speaker 2: He was like the Belldozer situation. But I also find
- 1:33:28Speaker 2: it very very hard that if your job is to
- 1:33:32Speaker 2: win games, and your job is to win national championship,
- 1:33:34Speaker 2: and arch could not take over for quen Ers last year.
- 1:33:39Speaker 2: Man I just have a hard time saying he's gonna
- 1:33:41Speaker 2: win the Heisman this year after not unseen Quinn last year,
- 1:33:43Speaker 2: especially once you got him out on the field. So
- 1:33:48Speaker 2: I think I think that this is a situation. Just
- 1:33:50Speaker 2: like the twenty three game. I think it is a
- 1:33:53Speaker 2: last team with the ball, and you know, I would rather,
- 1:33:57Speaker 2: I would rather. I feel much better this year with
- 1:34:00Speaker 2: what's what we have at quarterback because it has been proven,
- 1:34:03Speaker 2: it's been on the field. It's a continuation. We didn't
- 1:34:06Speaker 2: go from Jeff Levy to a freshman with a you know,
- 1:34:10Speaker 2: an absolute just more on as an offensive coordinator. And also,
- 1:34:14Speaker 2: I I mean, I just don't see a world where
- 1:34:17Speaker 2: you lose the entire offensive line in wide receiver corps
- 1:34:21Speaker 2: before your fifth game of the season.
- 1:34:25Speaker 1: Yep, all right, next game, South Cara, Lionel. Very interestingly,
- 1:34:38Speaker 1: they returning production wise South Carolina coming into the spring,
- 1:34:43Speaker 1: they are eighty second in the country on defense with
- 1:34:46Speaker 1: forty nine percent coming back, thirty third in offense with
- 1:34:51Speaker 1: sixty six percent overall fifty eight percent, fifty eighth in
- 1:34:55Speaker 1: the country. Now this is let me point out why
- 1:35:00Speaker 1: I said what I said about Texas an offensive line.
- 1:35:03Speaker 1: ESPN's Bill Conley does these calculations of returning production. Texas
- 1:35:08Speaker 1: is one hundred and ninth in the country at forty
- 1:35:09Speaker 1: returning production on the offensive side of the ball. Just
- 1:35:13Speaker 1: saying that was my point but it's early. We'll see
- 1:35:19Speaker 1: what it all turns into. South Carolina. Yah, the defense
- 1:35:24Speaker 1: is to me where you really get it with them,
- 1:35:29Speaker 1: Like they brought in It got one, two three, It
- 1:35:31Speaker 1: got four projected starters on the defensive side of the
- 1:35:35Speaker 1: ball that are transferred. Of course, brown Low Dundy, you
- 1:35:40Speaker 1: know former O you commit Ou Legacy who went around
- 1:35:44Speaker 1: a few places, but he'll be expected to start right
- 1:35:46Speaker 1: there on the line with Xavion Hardy. They kind of
- 1:35:53Speaker 1: have to refresh a lot now. Corner wise, they still
- 1:35:58Speaker 1: got a Judge Collier as well as a transfer in Brandon.
- 1:36:02Speaker 1: Was that Sisy. I'm intrigued at what their defense actually
- 1:36:08Speaker 1: looks like with Dylan stored and Brian Thomas coming back.
- 1:36:12Speaker 1: That to me is where you're cause they had to
- 1:36:15Speaker 1: bring in new They brought a new linebackers. Yeah, they
- 1:36:20Speaker 1: gotn a lot of transfers on defense like this is
- 1:36:24Speaker 1: let's see four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve,
- 1:36:30Speaker 1: thirteen is what I see so far? Cool thirteen transfers
- 1:36:39Speaker 1: on defense for what.
- 1:36:41Speaker 2: That's a that's a tall task. But Jay, here's where
- 1:36:44Speaker 2: I think that this one is a w for ou.
- 1:36:48Speaker 2: The week before us they have LSU and then Oklahoma
- 1:36:52Speaker 2: and then Alabama bang bang bang. But yeah, you know,
- 1:36:59Speaker 2: we we we complain about some of these things in
- 1:37:03Speaker 2: our schedule. But you're at LSU, so Death Valley. I'm
- 1:37:06Speaker 2: guessing if they got a good record, that's gonna be
- 1:37:08Speaker 2: a later game you have, then US and then home
- 1:37:13Speaker 2: with at home against Alabama too. So South Carolina last year,
- 1:37:20Speaker 2: you know, they they were really really nails with with
- 1:37:23Speaker 2: Alabama the week before. You know, obviously we were able
- 1:37:27Speaker 2: to watch the Alabama game, you know, before the you know,
- 1:37:32Speaker 2: before we were you know done with the the State Fair.
- 1:37:36Speaker 2: But I just I think that this is a deal
- 1:37:41Speaker 2: to where we didn't have to really watch their offense
- 1:37:43Speaker 2: last year, you know, before their offense really had to
- 1:37:46Speaker 2: get out and do anything. They're by twenty one, and
- 1:37:50Speaker 2: you know that makes you, you know, pretty free, and
- 1:37:52Speaker 2: you're grasping for every opportunity, uh, you know, on defense
- 1:37:59Speaker 2: thirteen transfer on defense, I mean that that's a that's
- 1:38:01Speaker 2: a tall ass because you're asking thirteen different guys who
- 1:38:04Speaker 2: knew thirteen different systems to come in and learn a
- 1:38:07Speaker 2: new system. And I just I just got to feel
- 1:38:11Speaker 2: that you're going to have him going to you know
- 1:38:13Speaker 2: Dylan Stewart, He's going to be up against those uh,
- 1:38:16Speaker 2: those those offensive linemen for L s U. And it's
- 1:38:21Speaker 2: I mean, as a human, how do you not think
- 1:38:24Speaker 2: like I gotta pace myself a little bit for that
- 1:38:26Speaker 2: type of stretch. I I obviously think that if you're
- 1:38:31Speaker 2: in a tight and you know, a tight game with
- 1:38:34Speaker 2: South Carolina, you know it's I I don't know if
- 1:38:38Speaker 2: I really you know, expect Leonora Sellers to have a
- 1:38:44Speaker 2: to have all his bag ready and going. You know,
- 1:38:48Speaker 2: I feel like that's those those grinding pressure moments. You know,
- 1:38:51Speaker 2: every single move is big, and so I you know,
- 1:38:55Speaker 2: I'm going to talk this one. This one, I feel
- 1:38:57Speaker 2: is a is a good w I think this was
- 1:39:01Speaker 2: gonna be a close game. They have it in their
- 1:39:03Speaker 2: head that they I mean, they put an absolute thumping
- 1:39:06Speaker 2: h and you know kind of made the game over
- 1:39:08Speaker 2: before the first quarter was even done. I'm pretty sure
- 1:39:11Speaker 2: that most of the people wanted to bounce out of there.
- 1:39:15Speaker 2: So yeah, you got to start a new running back. Also,
- 1:39:19Speaker 2: you know, say Rockett was a he was a dude
- 1:39:22Speaker 2: who was who liked he liked the thump, and it
- 1:39:26Speaker 2: didn't matter if if it was if you stopped him
- 1:39:28Speaker 2: for a two yard game, you still felt it if
- 1:39:31Speaker 2: you stopped him for a ten yard game. He only
- 1:39:33Speaker 2: went back and said, do it again, same play. I
- 1:39:36Speaker 2: don't care. I don't care if it's HB dive, I
- 1:39:38Speaker 2: don't care if it's zone. I don't say answer zone, like,
- 1:39:41Speaker 2: come on, let's just roll. And so I'm really in,
- 1:39:46Speaker 2: you know, Nichols Harbor and he just he hasn't had
- 1:39:49Speaker 2: that year yet where he is really just balled out.
- 1:39:53Speaker 2: He is an absolute mutant. He is you know, he
- 1:39:55Speaker 2: was the number one player coming out in his year
- 1:39:58Speaker 2: for a reason. You know, he was list it as
- 1:40:00Speaker 2: an athlete to all the to all the people. But
- 1:40:05Speaker 2: he was phenomenal. I mean, he was phenomenal coming out.
- 1:40:08Speaker 2: And you know, maybe this is his swan song year.
- 1:40:10Speaker 2: Maybe this is it. But I'd have to see what
- 1:40:13Speaker 2: does that defense look like? You know, this is middle
- 1:40:15Speaker 2: of the season. I mean, what is this you know,
- 1:40:17Speaker 2: seven weeks in? What is the defense going to do?
- 1:40:20Speaker 2: As far as coming together, it's there. You gotta you gotta,
- 1:40:26Speaker 2: you gotta take the punches, you know, up there pretty
- 1:40:29Speaker 2: early and you have to survive those. But I think
- 1:40:32Speaker 2: this is one that I can see Oklahoma. You know, again,
- 1:40:35Speaker 2: based off what we expect to be happening, this is
- 1:40:38Speaker 2: one where I feel like you've got you got a
- 1:40:40Speaker 2: good chance to win.
- 1:40:41Speaker 1: Yeah. I think this one is one that Oklahoma should
- 1:40:43Speaker 1: be able to go across over there and steal. I
- 1:40:46Speaker 1: like Rasoul Faison to transfer from Utah State. I think,
- 1:40:50Speaker 1: I mean, he rushed for eleven hundred yards last year
- 1:40:52Speaker 1: in Utah State. I think that he's one. It's going
- 1:40:54Speaker 1: to be pretty more explosive than people expect. But I
- 1:40:59Speaker 1: don't don't know. I don't know about the backfield. Like
- 1:41:04Speaker 1: I said, no rocket kind of it's gonna it's gonna
- 1:41:08Speaker 1: be all on sellers shoulders, and we've got to see
- 1:41:11Speaker 1: if he can carry the low by himself. A wide receiver, rooms,
- 1:41:13Speaker 1: a bunch of freshmen, a bunch of freshmen, A bunch
- 1:41:20Speaker 1: of freshmen. It is, it's just a bunch of freshmen.
- 1:41:24Speaker 2: Uh.
- 1:41:24Speaker 1: Their offensive line is decently aged. Some juniors, red shirt juniors,
- 1:41:29Speaker 1: redshirt sophomores and sophomores. Uh. They brought in one transfer
- 1:41:32Speaker 1: center and a two transfer center is actually won. The
- 1:41:35Speaker 1: starter one is gonna probably back up that well, well,
- 1:41:39Speaker 1: we'll have to see, like I said, returning production. It's
- 1:41:42Speaker 1: kind of low. But we'll see. But that that one's
- 1:41:50Speaker 1: also a dub. I don't I think the defense takes
- 1:41:52Speaker 1: a step back, like most of the analysts have already said,
- 1:41:54Speaker 1: Uh for South Carolina, it's gonna take some time for
- 1:41:57Speaker 1: them to get there to that point. So all right,
- 1:41:59Speaker 1: next game, because my got truth is in there arguing
- 1:42:02Speaker 1: with everybody about whatever he wants to argue about. Dog
- 1:42:05Speaker 1: you can you can find now with Christen Glasses. I'm
- 1:42:07Speaker 1: just pointing out that they're returning four starters. The continuity
- 1:42:11Speaker 1: on offensive line is critical. We all know that that is.
- 1:42:13Speaker 1: That's different. They played together. I love it, Happy for you.
- 1:42:17Speaker 1: We'll see what it looks like when the season comes up.
- 1:42:19Speaker 1: We'll see what happens in Ohio Ohio State game. That
- 1:42:22Speaker 1: tells us everything we need to know. Uh, mixed team coop,
- 1:42:28Speaker 1: oh miss. I think I could be quick on this
- 1:42:30Speaker 1: one man.
- 1:42:31Speaker 2: Yeah. Quarterback, Yeah again, is it Simmons, that's the that's
- 1:42:37Speaker 2: the kid.
- 1:42:38Speaker 1: Is that the as of right now, Simmons is your
- 1:42:40Speaker 1: starting quarterback? They brought in free transfer quarterbacks.
- 1:42:46Speaker 2: Yeah, so I think they lose a lot on defense. Uh,
- 1:42:50Speaker 2: you know the defense again, this was The first was
- 1:42:53Speaker 2: that the Jacob Sexton was was out there and he
- 1:42:57Speaker 2: was I mean, he was playing in his best game
- 1:42:59Speaker 2: in the whole entire season. And before he went down. Uh,
- 1:43:01Speaker 2: you know in that game when he goes down, the
- 1:43:03Speaker 2: offensive line looks a little bit different. Logan Hallen comes
- 1:43:06Speaker 2: in his first actual game time, and you know, he
- 1:43:10Speaker 2: got he got abused. He was signaling off his his
- 1:43:14Speaker 2: pass blocking set, run blocking sets, and it turns sour
- 1:43:18Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter. Now they come to the crib.
- 1:43:21Speaker 2: At this point, we will know who OU is dead
- 1:43:24Speaker 2: set and solid. I feel like I feel like that.
- 1:43:28Speaker 2: I don't. I don't. I don't think Ole Miss has
- 1:43:30Speaker 2: it this year. I think this is a team who
- 1:43:33Speaker 2: if you're you know, you look at their schedule right
- 1:43:36Speaker 2: before us, they are at Georgia and then they go
- 1:43:40Speaker 2: they come home, and they go at Georgia at OU
- 1:43:43Speaker 2: South Carolina at home. Uh, then they get to play
- 1:43:47Speaker 2: their punching bag the Citadel. So I just I have
- 1:43:52Speaker 2: a feeling that this team is going to be a
- 1:43:55Speaker 2: solid team. I think their schedule looks pretty pretty manageable overall,
- 1:44:01Speaker 2: So I think that they could have about a similar
- 1:44:03Speaker 2: schedule as they did last year. But not be a
- 1:44:05Speaker 2: similar outcome, but not be as good.
- 1:44:11Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't see nine. I don't think double digit
- 1:44:14Speaker 1: wins happens for them this year. To me, I don't.
- 1:44:21Speaker 1: I don't see that happening at all. So I think
- 1:44:26Speaker 1: this one's a win, simply put. Yep, they got a
- 1:44:31Speaker 1: lot of transfers. Geez, Louise Low went through this coop.
- 1:44:35Speaker 1: They got so many transfers, I think their entire defense
- 1:44:38Speaker 1: will probably be starters. That'd be all transfer guys. That's one, two, three, four, five, six,
- 1:44:46Speaker 1: seven dudes.
- 1:44:48Speaker 2: And it's the third year in a row that they
- 1:44:50Speaker 2: have absolutely just gone out and went after every day
- 1:44:54Speaker 2: transfer and it has not proven anything for them yet.
- 1:45:00Speaker 1: You know, it's it's old Miss. They've got ten wins
- 1:45:02Speaker 1: seasons to their belt, and that's I talked to an
- 1:45:04Speaker 1: old Miss fan. They said, yeah, that actually feels good
- 1:45:07Speaker 1: for them. It's been forever. I mean it's been since
- 1:45:10Speaker 1: what he freeze the first time.
- 1:45:13Speaker 2: Yeah, when he was doing all this stuff that's absolutely legal.
- 1:45:15Speaker 1: Now that's the Yeah, we'll see what they look like.
- 1:45:25Speaker 1: I marked that one as a W. I don't even
- 1:45:27Speaker 1: argue it. Tennessee next game traveling, are you know our
- 1:45:36Speaker 1: last one in a five game stint that I think
- 1:45:38Speaker 1: is gonna be tough again. Red Rivers. Red River's a
- 1:45:41Speaker 1: toss up. I don't pretend like it's gonna be a
- 1:45:43Speaker 1: guarantee of anything. It's a toss up, and I think
- 1:45:45Speaker 1: they can be tossed up this direction this time around Tennessee.
- 1:45:54Speaker 1: That Neco situation, man, I feel like it broke them.
- 1:45:59Speaker 2: I mean, Tennessee fans have just in general, you know,
- 1:46:04Speaker 2: all across the board basketball, you know, the college softball,
- 1:46:09Speaker 2: you know now in baseball. You know, now they're they're
- 1:46:12Speaker 2: they're absolutely just putting everything in the basket for this
- 1:46:16Speaker 2: for the baseball team. But I say this is they
- 1:46:20Speaker 2: got at Alabama, at Kentucky and then Oklahoma back in
- 1:46:24Speaker 2: the crib. So they're going to be coming home and
- 1:46:26Speaker 2: I think that they are going to probably take an
- 1:46:29Speaker 2: l you know against Alabama. I think they probably are
- 1:46:34Speaker 2: going to get get into a phone booth battle with Kentucky.
- 1:46:38Speaker 2: I think they pulled that one out and this may
- 1:46:40Speaker 2: a team, maybe a team who walks into Nyalen, you know,
- 1:46:44Speaker 2: nursing a lot, and it doesn't matter who they got
- 1:46:48Speaker 2: at quarterback. I think that you know, even as underwhelming
- 1:46:52Speaker 2: as Nico was. I just really really feel that, uh,
- 1:46:55Speaker 2: there was nobody that could go out and get to
- 1:46:57Speaker 2: you know, basically call it call it.
- 1:46:59Speaker 1: A yeah, And I have said I've said it on
- 1:47:05Speaker 1: a record numerous times. I do think that I do
- 1:47:14Speaker 1: think that Joey Aguilar will probably be better suited for
- 1:47:18Speaker 1: this offense, but that doesn't mean he'll be that year one.
- 1:47:25Speaker 1: Like I can see him having a Hindon Hooker type
- 1:47:29Speaker 1: a couple of years, right yere one getting acclimated do
- 1:47:33Speaker 1: some things. Solid team just doesn't win every game, doesn't
- 1:47:36Speaker 1: go out there and win you know, you know, every
- 1:47:39Speaker 1: big game this year, but then next season going in
- 1:47:42Speaker 1: there boom because I don't know. If I don't think
- 1:47:45Speaker 1: McIntyre is gonna start, uh Merklinger, he's gonna be battling
- 1:47:49Speaker 1: Agalar for that starting job. I do think that Joey
- 1:47:52Speaker 1: ends up winning it just because of experience wise, but
- 1:47:56Speaker 1: Merklinger could nion Jake mcle if you can take it.
- 1:47:58Speaker 1: He's a redshirt freshman, he's been in the system. He
- 1:48:00Speaker 1: probably could go ahead and steal that away. Their backfields.
- 1:48:04Speaker 1: The question I like Peyton Lewis and and the Sean
- 1:48:07Speaker 1: Bishop but that's where we got questions for them. It's
- 1:48:10Speaker 1: gonna be that backfield. What does their backfield look like
- 1:48:14Speaker 1: going into And again this is early. I still got
- 1:48:18Speaker 1: a lot of analysis to break down on it. But
- 1:48:20Speaker 1: I'm looking early until we get into the fall camp
- 1:48:25Speaker 1: for all camps where we really start to hear where
- 1:48:27Speaker 1: everybody's go b But they only brought in seven transfers.
- 1:48:31Speaker 1: They didn't do a lot. Now one transfer, I do
- 1:48:34Speaker 1: like that should be starting for them, potentially on the
- 1:48:37Speaker 1: other side of U. Then bringing in McCoy is gonna
- 1:48:41Speaker 1: be Colton Hood. He was really solid at Colorado and
- 1:48:46Speaker 1: I think that he's gonna be a fun one to
- 1:48:48Speaker 1: see where he ends up for them. I like Colton
- 1:48:52Speaker 1: Hood as a pickup for them at corner. I think
- 1:48:54Speaker 1: their defense is gonna be better. We're gonna be their
- 1:48:58Speaker 1: main main piece. I think they brought back a lot
- 1:49:01Speaker 1: of their a lot of defensive players. I mean, I
- 1:49:04Speaker 1: haven't James Curris is gonna make gonna hurt them. And
- 1:49:07Speaker 1: on their returning production calculations, they are forty fourth in
- 1:49:11Speaker 1: the country and bring me sixty one percent into production.
- 1:49:13Speaker 1: Los not that offensive production.
- 1:49:18Speaker 2: Country, and that team revolved it wasn't. It didn't revolve
- 1:49:22Speaker 2: around Nico last year. It revolved around Dylan Samson. He
- 1:49:26Speaker 2: was He was that dude, and you know, he finally,
- 1:49:30Speaker 2: you know, in the middle, middle parts of the game,
- 1:49:32Speaker 2: he was the guy who really you know, kind of
- 1:49:35Speaker 2: took off and really wearing Oklahoma down. Obviously you have
- 1:49:40Speaker 2: no offense, you uh, every mistake that they made last
- 1:49:43Speaker 2: year was followed up with an absolute uh you know,
- 1:49:48Speaker 2: turn it back over, give it to Dylan and just
- 1:49:50Speaker 2: let him, you know, take over. Uh. So that's that's it.
- 1:49:54Speaker 2: And I do expect their defense to be pretty salty.
- 1:49:57Speaker 2: I think this is a battle of a game kind
- 1:49:59Speaker 2: of like uh, you know when Baker went up there.
- 1:50:01Speaker 2: I think it's one that you've got to you got
- 1:50:03Speaker 2: to basically minimize mistakes, capitalize on every opportunity that you have.
- 1:50:08Speaker 2: But this is a team who I think that you
- 1:50:12Speaker 2: you get later in the season and we're either going
- 1:50:14Speaker 2: to see teams, you know, really starting to take the
- 1:50:16Speaker 2: uptick or you're going to see teams who are who
- 1:50:20Speaker 2: are kind of cashing out, and it is what it is.
- 1:50:24Speaker 2: Hopefully you know, this year, we don't see anybody else
- 1:50:26Speaker 2: on that Tennessee squad. Basically belly up and say, hey,
- 1:50:30Speaker 2: I'm hitting the transfer portal, you know, too early. But
- 1:50:33Speaker 2: I think I think the Tennessee is going to need
- 1:50:36Speaker 2: a year or toward this. What they need this year
- 1:50:38Speaker 2: is win seven eight games, you know, point towards the
- 1:50:43Speaker 2: you know, twenty sixth season and just just just hope
- 1:50:46Speaker 2: to uh, you know, capitalize on all of the development
- 1:50:49Speaker 2: on some of these younger kids.
- 1:50:51Speaker 1: Yep, Tim Banks has got some work to do, uh
- 1:50:55Speaker 1: to make sure that defense goes Yeah, he's got some
- 1:51:05Speaker 1: work to do on that. But the good thing is
- 1:51:06Speaker 1: is a lot of his return He's returning a lot
- 1:51:08Speaker 1: on defense. Yeah, transfers they brought in. McCoy has been
- 1:51:12Speaker 1: there a year, Turntime has been a year there for
- 1:51:14Speaker 1: a year. Jackson moy has been there for a year.
- 1:51:17Speaker 1: So they're not They don't have very many transfers on
- 1:51:19Speaker 1: the defensive side that's going to have to start. That
- 1:51:23Speaker 1: to me is big. That's gonna help them having those
- 1:51:29Speaker 1: players that have been there that additional year. So I'm
- 1:51:34Speaker 1: big for that. I'm big on that. But I think
- 1:51:38Speaker 1: we can go out there and win that game. Sign
- 1:51:42Speaker 1: you up for well give me Oklahoma on that one.
- 1:51:51Speaker 1: That's the one. That's the one toss up. I think
- 1:51:53Speaker 1: we've got all right. Next one, we got the bye week.
- 1:52:03Speaker 1: How do you think we fair in the bye week.
- 1:52:04Speaker 1: I'm a little nervous about that bye week. That's a
- 1:52:06Speaker 1: tough bye week.
- 1:52:08Speaker 2: I think that that bye week is gracefully given with
- 1:52:13Speaker 2: those final three games, because I think number one, you're
- 1:52:17Speaker 2: going to be hurt at some point, you know, and
- 1:52:19Speaker 2: you're gonna have some guys that are dinged up. That's
- 1:52:21Speaker 2: going to be good. You get into the colder weather games,
- 1:52:24Speaker 2: you know, that's going to be it's gonna be some
- 1:52:27Speaker 2: blist that week. But heading into November fifteenth, I like
- 1:52:31Speaker 2: the bye week.
- 1:52:34Speaker 1: I like that. We'll take it. Shout out to the
- 1:52:37Speaker 1: bye week for not being awful to us in that spot.
- 1:52:46Speaker 1: Let's take that Alabama. Alabama's interesting coop it is because
- 1:53:11Speaker 1: they have returning production ranked thirty fifth in the country
- 1:53:17Speaker 1: sixty three percent overall, sixty three percent on offense, is
- 1:53:20Speaker 1: forty six, sixty two percent on defense, which is thirty
- 1:53:25Speaker 1: seventh in the country. So they're bringing back a lot
- 1:53:27Speaker 1: of players, a lot a lot. Their biggest question, similar
- 1:53:40Speaker 1: to most of the teams we're playing against, is gonna
- 1:53:42Speaker 1: be their passing game. Yeah, who is Ti Simpsons ready? Now?
- 1:53:47Speaker 1: This is where I give Alabama a lot of grace.
- 1:53:52Speaker 1: Grub has now.
- 1:53:53Speaker 2: Returned number sent.
- 1:53:59Speaker 1: Two. Klen de Bor. That's gonna be fun. Yes, That
- 1:54:05Speaker 1: to me is where you're like, okay, what can they
- 1:54:10Speaker 1: end up being? Grub coming back I think is a
- 1:54:13Speaker 1: bigger deal than most people realize. And I think that
- 1:54:16Speaker 1: that's gonna be what makes Alabama a challenge and I
- 1:54:21Speaker 1: think that that helps Tie Simson a lot more, especially
- 1:54:24Speaker 1: with all of the returning production. What do you think
- 1:54:26Speaker 1: on that?
- 1:54:30Speaker 2: This is one where you go, you go down there.
- 1:54:33Speaker 2: If Alabama is able to get back to the spots
- 1:54:38Speaker 2: where they have the Alabama way on defense and the
- 1:54:45Speaker 2: Kaitlyn de Bor gets his quarterback playing to a spots
- 1:54:51Speaker 2: where you know it is what he wants and he
- 1:54:55Speaker 2: can run his offense and Grub can run the offense.
- 1:54:59Speaker 2: I mean, we've got Ryan Williams, who you know is
- 1:55:02Speaker 2: up there with anybody, Jeremiah Smith, Ryan Williams, they are
- 1:55:06Speaker 2: one A, one B when it comes to wide receivers.
- 1:55:10Speaker 2: I think that for Alabama to get further ahead than
- 1:55:14Speaker 2: they were last year, it's going to have to be
- 1:55:19Speaker 2: you know with Pennix. Pennix had three super high round
- 1:55:23Speaker 2: you know, graded wide receivers and they you know, that's
- 1:55:27Speaker 2: how they went and uh, you know, beat Texas and
- 1:55:30Speaker 2: then went and lost in the National Championship game. I
- 1:55:34Speaker 2: just really really feel that, I I want to see
- 1:55:39Speaker 2: what the culture is and where Alabama can go is
- 1:55:42Speaker 2: going to be based off of who can they have
- 1:55:45Speaker 2: three guys? It's been a minute since Alabama has had that.
- 1:55:49Speaker 2: You know that you know four or five different dudes
- 1:55:53Speaker 2: you know at wide receiver who are all heading to
- 1:55:55Speaker 2: the NFL. They've got one that is guaranteed. Now can
- 1:55:59Speaker 2: they get more? What is the running back? Last year
- 1:56:02Speaker 2: they were returned the least amount of rushing yards in
- 1:56:05Speaker 2: the SEC and this year this year, you know, it's
- 1:56:10Speaker 2: it's it's still going to be. It's going to be
- 1:56:12Speaker 2: up up in the air. I don't think the defenses
- 1:56:16Speaker 2: are ever going to get to a spot to where
- 1:56:17Speaker 2: it was with Nick Staban. But I don't think that
- 1:56:20Speaker 2: they're going to be a liability. I have the Texas
- 1:56:24Speaker 2: you know, ou season is going to hinder on Alabama,
- 1:56:27Speaker 2: Texas and LSU. I believe that fully in my heart,
- 1:56:30Speaker 2: those are going to be, uh, the three three teams
- 1:56:33Speaker 2: that are going to dictate whether it is three or
- 1:56:36Speaker 2: whether it is you know, anything better. So I say
- 1:56:41Speaker 2: this is as of right now, I am predicting that
- 1:56:44Speaker 2: Alabama does get their offense back together. I think that
- 1:56:47Speaker 2: they're going to have a solid defense. This is going
- 1:56:49Speaker 2: to be a deal to where I think that I
- 1:56:51Speaker 2: give Alabama the win based off of home field advantage
- 1:56:54Speaker 2: as of right now, because I think these are two
- 1:56:56Speaker 2: teams that are going to be very evenly matched and
- 1:56:59Speaker 2: they got revenge. Uh you know, we knocked them out
- 1:57:02Speaker 2: of the playoff unt last year with the out of
- 1:57:06Speaker 2: body experience that Jackson Arnold had. We had an amazing
- 1:57:11Speaker 2: game plan to shut Milrode down and they could not.
- 1:57:15Speaker 2: I mean, they could not do much of anything. I
- 1:57:17Speaker 2: mean literally outside of a you know, a penalty. You know,
- 1:57:21Speaker 2: the best play they had all day was taken back
- 1:57:24Speaker 2: because of because of penalty. And so yeah, he was
- 1:57:29Speaker 2: going to be He's going to be better this year.
- 1:57:32Speaker 2: And so I'm going to Alabama on this one, you know,
- 1:57:36Speaker 2: based off of me projecting that Debora will have debor
- 1:57:40Speaker 2: and grow will actually have the offense running how they want,
- 1:57:42Speaker 2: and they're doing it now.
- 1:57:45Speaker 1: Yep, now, I'm with you on that. I actually just
- 1:57:47Speaker 1: one Alabama as well. I feel like we have three
- 1:57:50Speaker 1: actual toss up games in this one, literally three.
- 1:57:56Speaker 2: Uh.
- 1:57:56Speaker 1: The three toss up games I have will always be
- 1:57:59Speaker 1: Texas because it's it's a rivalry. And I understand my
- 1:58:02Speaker 1: resident Texas fan and the chat thinks that they're gonna
- 1:58:04Speaker 1: win every single game every time they play Oklahoma. That's cool.
- 1:58:07Speaker 1: I'm glad he has his burnt orange glasses on. I'm
- 1:58:10Speaker 1: not gonna be ridiculous and think that that is the chance.
- 1:58:13Speaker 1: That's right. It's literally like, this is how this rivalry
- 1:58:22Speaker 1: has always gone. It's a toss up. So I have three.
- 1:58:25Speaker 1: I have three toss up games on this one in Texas, Alabama, LSU.
- 1:58:30Speaker 1: That's it. I think Oklahoma can beat everybody. I think
- 1:58:34Speaker 1: they can beat everybody on the schedule. Those are the
- 1:58:37Speaker 1: three toss ups.
- 1:58:39Speaker 2: To me, there's no guaranteed loss. In my mind.
- 1:58:43Speaker 1: If I was to have to pick one that I
- 1:58:45Speaker 1: think would be the loss, I think it would be
- 1:58:47Speaker 1: Alabama bouncing back because I'm looking at their roster now.
- 1:58:55Speaker 1: They're bringing back Dany nearing their entire defense, and these
- 1:59:00Speaker 1: transfer they have on their defense are dudes that were
- 1:59:02Speaker 1: there last year, so I think their defense is gonna
- 1:59:08Speaker 1: be ridiculously good. I think that one's gonna be a
- 1:59:10Speaker 1: grinded out fight, dog fight game. And even with the
- 1:59:15Speaker 1: bye week, I think that one is gonna be a
- 1:59:18Speaker 1: tough one. If I was to pick a guarantee, I'd
- 1:59:20Speaker 1: picked that game.
- 1:59:22Speaker 2: And if I'm not mistaken, yeah, if I'm not mistaken,
- 1:59:26Speaker 2: as I'm not mistaken. The only catyat I have on
- 1:59:29Speaker 2: this one is guess who they have while we're sitting
- 1:59:31Speaker 2: at home in the icepath. They got LSU while we
- 1:59:35Speaker 2: are on a bye they are.
- 1:59:37Speaker 1: That is true. That is true. They do have a
- 1:59:39Speaker 1: dollars right the week before. And to answer your question, sooner, cowboy,
- 1:59:46Speaker 1: the Alabama game is a flex, so Tech Tennessee and
- 1:59:49Speaker 1: Alabama bow flexes. So it's gonna either be a midday
- 1:59:51Speaker 1: game or night game. It won't be early, so there
- 1:59:55Speaker 1: is a very good chance that that's gonna be a
- 2:00:01Speaker 1: could be a night game, but both teams are with
- 2:00:04Speaker 1: no more than one to two losses each year. Both
- 2:00:06Speaker 1: teams have about two losses and they match up, it's
- 2:00:08Speaker 1: probably gonna be a night game. Anything more than that
- 2:00:10Speaker 1: then it will not be a night game. But I
- 2:00:12Speaker 1: think that that one is going to be a that's
- 2:00:15Speaker 1: a get, that's a That one to me is the
- 2:00:20Speaker 1: one that I think that we could probably lose.
- 2:00:24Speaker 2: It's right with with LSU. I mean, like I said,
- 2:00:27Speaker 2: with LSU being I mean it's they get LSU and
- 2:00:30Speaker 2: Oklahoma back to back at the crib. But we know
- 2:00:33Speaker 2: that that LSU game is I mean, it's now taken
- 2:00:37Speaker 2: over that Auburn game. That's their you know kind of
- 2:00:40Speaker 2: you know, measuring stick. It's been that way for quite
- 2:00:42Speaker 2: a long time now, you know, going all the way back,
- 2:00:45Speaker 2: you know until the mid twenty tens. So they're gonna
- 2:00:50Speaker 2: need to muster up quite a bit. And if I
- 2:00:52Speaker 2: promise you, if they if they beat LSU that week before,
- 2:00:56Speaker 2: you know, you got to watch out because Alabama I
- 2:00:58Speaker 2: think barb both seeing Alabama Lso you're probably all teams
- 2:01:02Speaker 2: that are going to the playoffs.
- 2:01:05Speaker 1: Yeah, Phil Still has that as his prediction. His prediction
- 2:01:08Speaker 1: is Oklahoma make the playoffs. So who am I to
- 2:01:12Speaker 1: tell Phil Still that he's wrong when he was so
- 2:01:14Speaker 1: right on Oklahoma in twenty twenty three.
- 2:01:17Speaker 2: And last year.
- 2:01:18Speaker 1: But without him last year, last year, He was right
- 2:01:20Speaker 1: on Oklahoma last year. He pointed it out, He had
- 2:01:23Speaker 1: his concerns, he played out every concern and his computer
- 2:01:26Speaker 1: told him that his computer is telling him Oklahoma now
- 2:01:28Speaker 1: should do it. So but I think that that one's
- 2:01:31Speaker 1: going to be the toughest, probably the one of the
- 2:01:36Speaker 1: toughest three games on the season. Next up, Missouri. I'm
- 2:01:42Speaker 1: I don't have much to say on Missouri, to be
- 2:01:44Speaker 1: absolutely honest, we should have won the game last year.
- 2:01:49Speaker 2: The definition of fumbling the game away.
- 2:01:51Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we fomb up the bag on that one.
- 2:01:52Speaker 1: That was all on us, just on Jackson, all on Jackson,
- 2:01:56Speaker 1: literally falling on our face as a team. That was
- 2:01:59Speaker 1: a team falling on your face effort. And I am
- 2:02:02Speaker 1: in every way, shape or form as embarrassed as you
- 2:02:06Speaker 1: can be as a fan. We fell flat on our
- 2:02:09Speaker 1: flip and face. Can't argue it, period. That was our win.
- 2:02:15Speaker 1: So I call what revenge game? That's a dub. Give
- 2:02:23Speaker 1: me the Sooners. I don't even have much to say
- 2:02:25Speaker 1: because Missouri new quarterback rope Ula I like a mad
- 2:02:30Speaker 1: hardy at running back. I do like him. They got
- 2:02:33Speaker 1: a new quarterback that is a grad transfer. Did Bo
- 2:02:39Speaker 1: even play at Penn State. No, Okay, he's gonna be
- 2:02:52Speaker 1: a wow. That's fascinating, I think.
- 2:03:00Speaker 2: I mean, there's a good chance that Missouri is, you know,
- 2:03:03Speaker 2: four and eight this year. I I I looking at
- 2:03:07Speaker 2: their schedule. I didn't. I didn't even pull up their schedule.
- 2:03:10Speaker 2: That's that'll show you my feelings on oh misery. But
- 2:03:17Speaker 2: let's see here they they're going to have they got
- 2:03:23Speaker 2: Kansas comes to the crib September sixth, South Carolina, Alabama, Auburn, Vandy,
- 2:03:30Speaker 2: A and M Mississippi State, Oklahoma, Arkansas. So I go one, two, three, four,
- 2:03:36Speaker 2: five six, probably probably guaranteed losses with a couple that
- 2:03:42Speaker 2: are flip flop. I think they get Central Arkansas. God
- 2:03:47Speaker 2: knows about Louisiana. That's it. You know, we'll see what
- 2:03:49Speaker 2: Missouri is with this all this brand new. I mean,
- 2:03:51Speaker 2: you lose the Owees, you lose Luther Burton, they didn't
- 2:03:55Speaker 2: have a strong running game last year, and uh it's
- 2:04:01Speaker 2: I just don't. I just I think Missouri gets back
- 2:04:03Speaker 2: to where they usually are in that fighting for five hundred.
- 2:04:09Speaker 1: Yeah, we're at home. I don't see this as a
- 2:04:10Speaker 1: toss up. Sorry, I don't, I don't. I'm not sold
- 2:04:14Speaker 1: on bow who I've seen. You see he's thrown four
- 2:04:19Speaker 1: I mean, you know he's he's thrown for Statistically last season,
- 2:04:26Speaker 1: threw for two hundred and seventy five yards and five
- 2:04:28Speaker 1: touchdowns in a game. And let me see how many
- 2:04:30Speaker 1: games did he play last year? He did a lot
- 2:04:33Speaker 1: of my he played a lot. In the Wisconsin game
- 2:04:37Speaker 1: them for thirteen ninety eight yards in a touchdown. They
- 2:04:41Speaker 1: won twenty eight to thirteen. Okay, they have a really
- 2:04:45Speaker 1: good defense at Penn State two at the time, so
- 2:04:48Speaker 1: I can give both benefit of the doubt. But I
- 2:04:52Speaker 1: think that we I think that we beat Missouri. I'm
- 2:04:55Speaker 1: not even gonna go.
- 2:04:55Speaker 2: That the only the only toss up is going to
- 2:04:58Speaker 2: be the coin toss up at the beginning of the game.
- 2:05:00Speaker 1: Fair fair Barr injury. It should be exactly that last game.
- 2:05:08Speaker 1: This should uh, L s U. It's the last toss
- 2:05:11Speaker 1: up for me. Uh And I say that because LS.
- 2:05:15Speaker 1: Because Missouri had a lot of transfers they had to
- 2:05:17Speaker 1: come in. They did a lot of transfer hunting.
- 2:05:23Speaker 2: L s U.
- 2:05:24Speaker 1: For the most part, the bigger one is gonna be
- 2:05:26Speaker 1: your Nick Anderson pick up as well as your Bower sharp.
- 2:05:31Speaker 1: I don't see either one of them starting. I have
- 2:05:38Speaker 1: to see them healthy. Well. I gotta see uh Nick
- 2:05:41Speaker 1: healthy first. Gotta see Nick healthy first. If I see
- 2:05:44Speaker 1: Nilk healthy, I can see Nick taking a spot. Their
- 2:05:48Speaker 1: wide receiver should be really good. Their their wide receiver
- 2:05:53Speaker 1: room should be really good this season. I don't want
- 2:05:59Speaker 1: to see Michael and Buren that quarterback, as he makes
- 2:06:04Speaker 1: your boy nervous. I wanted him here bad because I
- 2:06:08Speaker 1: think he's gonna be good. But they should be one
- 2:06:18Speaker 1: of the better teams in the SEC. Now. Our boy
- 2:06:22Speaker 1: feels still here, has them tied with Oklahoma this season.
- 2:06:27Speaker 1: He thinks that the defense should be improved. They think
- 2:06:34Speaker 1: their offense should be slight, should be the same as
- 2:06:37Speaker 1: last year. Actually a slightly increase on the offense. He
- 2:06:42Speaker 1: thinks the offense should improve. But they didn't lose four
- 2:06:46Speaker 1: NFL draft picks off the offensive line, So that biggest
- 2:06:49Speaker 1: question for them is their offensive line is replacing guys
- 2:06:52Speaker 1: that were starters. Yeah, no different than any other team.
- 2:06:56Speaker 1: I've talked about their offensive line replacing four starters with
- 2:07:01Speaker 1: what the chemistry looks like. I don't think the chemistry
- 2:07:03Speaker 1: is gonna be bad. I think that their line is
- 2:07:04Speaker 1: gonna be good. It's like, I mean, no, there's nobody
- 2:07:06Speaker 1: that we play against. I think their offensive line is
- 2:07:08Speaker 1: gonna be awful. They're offensive lines that do you know.
- 2:07:12Speaker 1: We gotta see what they look like wise and Michigan.
- 2:07:16Speaker 2: Michigan's always got them right, always is.
- 2:07:20Speaker 1: That's what That's what sharn Moore has his entire career
- 2:07:24Speaker 1: has been based on. But they they replace some old linements,
- 2:07:28Speaker 1: so now they're gonna have questions. We got to see
- 2:07:31Speaker 1: what they're gonna turn into. But for LSU, the big
- 2:07:35Speaker 1: thing is gonna be they do have some nus. Myer's
- 2:07:44Speaker 1: got some weapons. Now I said this is a joke
- 2:07:51Speaker 1: kind of but Coop Nesmer has been there for years.
- 2:07:58Speaker 1: He should be the starting quarterback. They did bring in
- 2:08:02Speaker 1: a quarterback that has starting experience in the SEC. I
- 2:08:05Speaker 1: am not saying that Nesmar will lose the job to
- 2:08:07Speaker 1: Michael van Buren. Could Michael Van Buren be a problem
- 2:08:12Speaker 1: for Smart just asking the.
- 2:08:16Speaker 2: Questions if we put him on his ass again like
- 2:08:22Speaker 2: we did last year. I mean, we knocked him out
- 2:08:25Speaker 2: of the game and then I don't know, I don't
- 2:08:27Speaker 2: know what like crazy ass kryptonite that uh you know
- 2:08:31Speaker 2: made him come back and and just go go Hamm.
- 2:08:34Speaker 1: But he's tough. I'm gonna be keeping a buck. He's tough.
- 2:08:39Speaker 2: Six I mean he's six to two hundred. They reload at
- 2:08:42Speaker 2: wide receiver and reload at wide receiver, and reload at
- 2:08:45Speaker 2: wide receiver and reload at wide receiver. I think that
- 2:08:47Speaker 2: the NFL deal had the thing out the other day
- 2:08:49Speaker 2: where it's like the top touchdowns by wide you know
- 2:08:55Speaker 2: what for wide receivers by college they were far and
- 2:08:58Speaker 2: above number one because of Chase and Jefferson. Hey, oh
- 2:09:04Speaker 2: you was up there too. And so here's the thing is,
- 2:09:09Speaker 2: I really really feel that this is at home. You know,
- 2:09:14Speaker 2: for us, this is going to be the last game
- 2:09:17Speaker 2: of the season. You don't know what you're going to
- 2:09:20Speaker 2: be playing for, because you could be playing for anywhere
- 2:09:23Speaker 2: from a got to win it to get in the
- 2:09:26Speaker 2: playoffs to uh, you know, got to win it for
- 2:09:29Speaker 2: a higher seed, to got to win it for something
- 2:09:32Speaker 2: I won't even say out loud, but it ends with
- 2:09:34Speaker 2: a zero at the back end. On the last side.
- 2:09:38Speaker 2: They start the season with Clemson at Clemson and then
- 2:09:42Speaker 2: they end it at Oklahoma. They at Western Kentucky the
- 2:09:46Speaker 2: week before, So I don't expect much out of that
- 2:09:49Speaker 2: while we are sitting they have are They end with Arkansas, Western,
- 2:09:53Speaker 2: Kentucky and then Oklahoma, whereas we end it with Alabama
- 2:09:57Speaker 2: and Missouri and LSU. So we got to return that
- 2:10:02Speaker 2: we saw last year. I don't think that LSU is unbeatable.
- 2:10:06Speaker 2: I would say that between Alabama, Texas and LSU, I
- 2:10:10Speaker 2: got to think that LSU is number three on the
- 2:10:12Speaker 2: fear factor because it's at the Crib and it's the
- 2:10:17Speaker 2: last game of the season, so it's going to be
- 2:10:20Speaker 2: that Thanksgiving weekend. You know, people are going to be
- 2:10:23Speaker 2: absolutely turned up. But I really do feel that this
- 2:10:28Speaker 2: one again is a toss up until I find out
- 2:10:33Speaker 2: what oh you is. I have an expectation of what
- 2:10:36Speaker 2: LSU will be.
- 2:10:40Speaker 1: Aaron Anderson is also but he's the one that transferred
- 2:10:43Speaker 1: in last year that was pretty solid for him. Yeah,
- 2:10:51Speaker 1: I mean, but yeah, no, point point mate. They they
- 2:11:02Speaker 1: got a young line. By this yon line is red
- 2:11:05Speaker 1: shirt sophomore, red shirts off more rad shirts, sophomore, red
- 2:11:08Speaker 1: shirt freshman, red shirt freshman. For the most part, they
- 2:11:10Speaker 1: could potentially start with a couple of red shirt senior
- 2:11:13Speaker 1: and junior transfers. They brought a lot of transfers.
- 2:11:17Speaker 2: Man, the difference between these kids, this LSU team and
- 2:11:21Speaker 2: the Joe Burrow team that we played in the playoffs
- 2:11:24Speaker 2: is that offensive line. But November twenty ninth, last game
- 2:11:28Speaker 2: of season, they're gonna be freshman and they ain't gonna
- 2:11:30Speaker 2: be sophomores. You know, they ain't gonna be red shirt
- 2:11:32Speaker 2: or anything anymore. Like these guys are gonna be seasoned dudes.
- 2:11:35Speaker 2: And so man, like, I'm gonna go LSU right now,
- 2:11:41Speaker 2: I just because until I see again. You know, there's
- 2:11:47Speaker 2: there's a lot of things this LSU team. When LSU
- 2:11:50Speaker 2: has all these expectations. I mean, there's a lot of
- 2:11:51Speaker 2: reasons why people are looking at LSU and going, I'm
- 2:11:55Speaker 2: not so sure. You know, they've got weapons, weapons, weapons,
- 2:11:59Speaker 2: But here's the thing is, if they got dudes in
- 2:12:03Speaker 2: net Meyer's lap time after time after time after time
- 2:12:06Speaker 2: after time, those weapons all of a sudden ain't as sharp.
- 2:12:10Speaker 2: So I'm gonna go with you know, I kind of
- 2:12:13Speaker 2: this season, like I said, Texas, Alabama, LSU, I think
- 2:12:17Speaker 2: two losses come out of those three, I would probably say, yeah,
- 2:12:21Speaker 2: we can win every single one of those games. Do
- 2:12:24Speaker 2: I think we're gonna win every single one of those.
- 2:12:25Speaker 2: I don't. I mean, I did pick ten and two.
- 2:12:30Speaker 2: So I will say that, you know, because I said,
- 2:12:34Speaker 2: I think that we can beat Texas and I think
- 2:12:36Speaker 2: you know, I called a win there. I will say
- 2:12:38Speaker 2: on this side, it's l s U. I think we
- 2:12:41Speaker 2: we take an l there, just because that that final stretch.
- 2:12:45Speaker 2: You know, I think you're gonna be super emotional against
- 2:12:48Speaker 2: Missouri and and you're gonna come off to Alabama and
- 2:12:56Speaker 2: so yeah, I mean I said ten and two. I've
- 2:12:59Speaker 2: been calling ten to again. Health health, health.
- 2:13:04Speaker 1: Yeah, it's all of this critical health, health, health and lemon.
- 2:13:06Speaker 1: What's good? Brother, I saw this earlier from him. Want
- 2:13:08Speaker 1: to mention this, How does an injury list look thus far?
- 2:13:12Speaker 1: In the realist of talks, uh BF has mentioned that
- 2:13:17Speaker 1: he expects our two wives, Giovanni and Jaden both to
- 2:13:21Speaker 1: be ready by the start of the season. So until
- 2:13:27Speaker 1: that changes, I'm gonna say we'll see them at the
- 2:13:30Speaker 1: start of the season. We'll find out in fall both
- 2:13:34Speaker 1: of them should be working out during fall camp. We'll
- 2:13:39Speaker 1: have an answer at that point. I the BK statement,
- 2:13:44Speaker 1: I get it. He does lose close games often, he
- 2:13:46Speaker 1: doesn't close very well. That it's always Brian Kelly thing.
- 2:13:53Speaker 1: I can totally see that being the thing that holds
- 2:13:57Speaker 1: LSU up this season is they don't close. I think
- 2:13:59Speaker 1: they're gonna have a lot more close games this season.
- 2:14:01Speaker 1: Go to their schedule, L s U, the L s U.
- 2:14:06Speaker 1: We pull up their schedule that real quick.
- 2:14:08Speaker 2: You start, you start at Clemson night game in the
- 2:14:15Speaker 2: land of the the Opium. Also with Clemson. Can they
- 2:14:21Speaker 2: get back? Can they get back to that now? Is
- 2:14:24Speaker 2: that going to be? Yeah? Is that going to be
- 2:14:26Speaker 2: a game to where, you know, kind of like what
- 2:14:28Speaker 2: was at the beginning of the year we saw l
- 2:14:29Speaker 2: s U and A and M, but not l s
- 2:14:31Speaker 2: U and A and M was USC and l s U.
- 2:14:33Speaker 2: You know, you you you know, how do you go? What?
- 2:14:36Speaker 2: What are those guys going to be moving forward? I
- 2:14:39Speaker 2: think that one. I mean that's gonna be tough. But
- 2:14:41Speaker 2: I think Kyle said it in here is let's see here.
- 2:14:47Speaker 2: If b K loses Clemson, bam and ou, he is gone.
- 2:14:51Speaker 2: I think that means that you're good enough to get
- 2:14:53Speaker 2: some things done, but you ain't good enough to get
- 2:14:55Speaker 2: it all done. And and he's just not a fit.
- 2:15:00Speaker 2: He is holding on for dear life because I promise
- 2:15:02Speaker 2: you if Dustmyer came in last year and could not
- 2:15:05Speaker 2: catch it back and we and we won that game,
- 2:15:09Speaker 2: his seat would be extremely hot this year.
- 2:15:14Speaker 1: Well, I agree with you one hundred percent. One, that's
- 2:15:23Speaker 1: gonna be a tough one. The looking at this schedule though,
- 2:15:28Speaker 1: and which we gotta go through all of our opponent
- 2:15:30Speaker 1: schedules and how they match up when it faced us
- 2:15:32Speaker 1: a little bit later, we'll do that in August. That
- 2:15:34Speaker 1: will definitely be a pre Yeah, so do that the
- 2:15:38Speaker 1: week before the season starts, look at all the schedules.
- 2:15:40Speaker 1: I think that would be a great conversation. But looking
- 2:15:41Speaker 1: at this though, in one hundred percent, this is a
- 2:15:45Speaker 1: very favorable matchup for them. The timing is very favorable.
- 2:15:55Speaker 1: They get Western, they have Arkansas Western and somebody Western
- 2:16:01Speaker 1: Kentucky right before.
- 2:16:04Speaker 2: Yeah, Southeast Louisiana, Louisiana Tech. Those are three just built
- 2:16:09Speaker 2: in w's They're at Ole Miss, South Carolina, at home
- 2:16:12Speaker 2: at Vandy, A and M at home at Alabama, and
- 2:16:15Speaker 2: at ou But I think that I think that November ninth,
- 2:16:23Speaker 2: we will know who let's call it November sixteenth, we'll
- 2:16:27Speaker 2: know who LSU is because it's that is South Carola, Ole,
- 2:16:31Speaker 2: Miss South Carolina, Vanderbilt, Texas A and M Alabama Arkansas.
- 2:16:34Speaker 2: That is a fight every damn week.
- 2:16:38Speaker 1: Yeah, Alabama Arkansas back to back is going to be
- 2:16:42Speaker 1: interesting for them. I'm curious to see where this LSU game.
- 2:16:48Speaker 1: I'm curious where it is. Like I said, I think
- 2:16:49Speaker 1: there's three toss ups in there. Texas which will always
- 2:16:53Speaker 1: be one, Alabama and I think LSU are your three
- 2:16:56Speaker 1: toss ups. If everything falls right, welcome back, Duck. We
- 2:17:03Speaker 1: missed you. Good to see the say. But yeah, that's
- 2:17:08Speaker 1: our predictions. Ten and two ish, I don't think that
- 2:17:12Speaker 1: that's ridiculous. Think nine and three is also fair. But
- 2:17:14Speaker 1: I think ten and two is not far fetched if
- 2:17:19Speaker 1: things fall perfectly. Hell, you know, other options could also happen.
- 2:17:26Speaker 1: So let's not be ridiculous too much out there, but
- 2:17:28Speaker 1: limit at y'all thing hop in the comments. Let me
- 2:17:31Speaker 1: know your thoughts. We always read them. We'll make sure
- 2:17:35Speaker 1: to respond as well. Happy Father's Day to all the
- 2:17:39Speaker 1: pops in here. Happy Father's Day to your father's as well,
- 2:17:46Speaker 1: those living and heavenly ones to those that are not.
- 2:17:52Speaker 1: Some of you will be futures. It's gonna come. Your
- 2:17:54Speaker 1: time will be there. But looking at the schedule, Oklahoma's
- 2:17:59Speaker 1: a really good change to being way better than what
- 2:18:01Speaker 1: people want to give them props for. So yeah, Coop
- 2:18:09Speaker 1: final thoughts.
- 2:18:13Speaker 2: It's the you know, recruiting is going to take you know,
- 2:18:18Speaker 2: the the the a few the next couple of weeks.
- 2:18:22Speaker 2: You know, there's going to be some ups, there's going
- 2:18:24Speaker 2: to be some downs. There's gonna be some stuff that
- 2:18:26Speaker 2: it sets people off, freaking thunder up Jay tomorrow they
- 2:18:30Speaker 2: come home. It is going to be if you have
- 2:18:34Speaker 2: an auditory sensory, do not go to that game because
- 2:18:38Speaker 2: it is going to be bananas. And we got an
