• 2:01
  Speaker 1: five nine, six sixty coming up next week. It'll be
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: that'll be a milestone. It will be yeah, yeah, that'll
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: be a milestone. All right, let's jump in West Virginia.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Kansas ball goes in the air six o'clock our time,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: five o'clock their time on Saturday. You probably well know
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: by now Kansas has had an additional week to prepare
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: after their loss in the Backyard Brawl, their version to
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: the Missouri Tigers. West Virginia coming off off the jubulation,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: the elation, the high of beating Pitt. Now, how do
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: the Mountaineers react in prosperity mode? How does Kansas react
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: in disparity mode after losing to their bitter artch rival.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: That's a long series, Pitt in West Virginia's hundred and
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: eight years. That thing's like one twenty something these twenty
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: on the news. That's amazing how long they've those guys
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: have been going at it. They've been playing football before
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: football was even created. That's a long time.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: But it makes sense that both those games went away
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: for a long time. It does I shot college football?
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah glad they're back.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Why would you want Texas Texas.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: And men ifire shot at all of college football to start?
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: But those games should be played Kurchiable.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: There's so many things wrong with college football right now.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know it's great. What the games are still great.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: The games, as we saw last Saturday, rate the management
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: of it is a challenge. You know what never disappoints.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: The three and a half hours where there's.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: A game, awesome drama. We saw it last week.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Yes, jump into Hoppy's obvious observations and coming out of
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: that pit game was the rule enforcement at the end
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: of the first half. So we have spent and a
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: lot of people have spent considerable amounts of times getting
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: into that.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: Here's my point about all that is that it's Thursday, okay,
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: and and you are logically and and after research explaining
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: what happened, whereas everybody else was going, what what, what
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: the heck happened? What the heck happened here? And this
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: this is the issue because in something like that there
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: should be and there is an opportunity for an explanation. Now,
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: the official did not explain it, the referee did not
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: explain it thoroughly at the time, and by the way,
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: the refs MIC Brad didn't work. The refs mic didn't work,
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: so you couldn't understand. But there is a policy in
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: place with the Big twelve where you can ask for
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: rule clarification, right, but it's it's like trying to get
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: info from the Pentagon.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Follow this has an ACC crew though, But go ahead.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: Okay, this is you want the Big twelve of the
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: a CEC policy because I think it'd.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Be the ACCA be ACC.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: All right, here's the ACC policy. Is that.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Brad's getting all bummed out because he's got Kansas look
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: at it. Look at it. Look at him rugging that
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: pen through his hand. He is tight, he's nervous. Can
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: we get a replay on him rolling that pen in
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: his hand? He's given it this go ahead? Give it
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: to me, all right, then you can have the whole
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: thing for the rest of the show.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Just help me have a think. I just want to
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: get to the Kansas game. This didn't affect but this is, okay,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: the game we want to get.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: No, go ahead?
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Okay, we talked about all week.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: I know, But what is the policy? Then?
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Go all right?
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: The ACC has a policy that is similar but not
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: exactly like other leagues when it comes to judgment call.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: When it comes to when it comes.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: To rules, not judgment calls, you can't ask a question
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: about why I was a holding or not a holding call.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: So it's a rule issue.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: So you submit the question within thirty minutes of the
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: end of the game.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: A pool reporter can submit a question to the home sid.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Okay, the home sid magic Mike Montoro in West Virginia's case.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: Right, So that home SID would then submit the question
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: to the official, to the officials to get a response. Now,
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: what are the crimeteria for asking a question, and there's
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: four or five. One is here's where you could ask
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: a question when there's an unusual situation that needs an
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: explanation for media clarification, which is exactly what that was.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: But nobody does, nobody does.
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: No press asked for it, and I was told that
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: nobody asked for it from West Virginia after the game.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: But you could have.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: You could have a pool reporter could have asked a
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: question god clarification. Now, the Big twelve has a policy,
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: but it's so convoluted.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: Let me just read to you quickly.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: Is that credential member of the media can ask about
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: a Roules question. It must be submitted in writing via
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: email to the contest hosting sports information director within thirty
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: minutes of the conclusion of the contest. The sid should
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: forward the email to the Big twelve Vice President of Communications,
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: verify attendance of the media member, notify the Vice president
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: with a call or text correspondence. Conference office will consult
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: with the coordinator of officials. Game officials will not be
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: available to the media. When the clarifications warranted, the Big
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: Twelve will provide a response. So the response would come
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: from the Big Twelve office after you jump through all
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: those hoops. But the AEC policy sounds better to me.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: You should be able to and you can accord with
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: the acc is submit a question from a pool reporter
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: within their minutes of the end of the game for
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: a rule clarification, which would have been appropriated in this
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: case and would have helped everybody understand what happened.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Well done, you should Yeah. I think what you just
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: do is you just taught the media something. In all seriousness.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Next time there's something, submit the question, Submit the question
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: to Magic Mike Montoro and he'll funnel it through the
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Big twelve people to.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: Get a rules clarification, because, as you said too, it
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: was complicated.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a very hard one. It's a hard one, so.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: It to me it it.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: Demonstrated the need for rule clarification with okay.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: You have any obvious observations before storms out of here? Yeah,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: were you gonna leave? You're gonna walk out?
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: Just one quick thing and I'll turn over to Brad.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: And that is last week I said, I really liked
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: the situation because West Virginia, coming off at disappointing performance,
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: had this emotional game. The crowd was going to be
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: into it. So it was a perfect It was a
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: good situation. This week is not a good situation. You're
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: coming not a good situation coming off an emotional game.
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: Typically you have an emotional letdown in this game. You're
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: on the road. Kansas is open to his eleven and
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: a half point favorite. Now they've settled in about twelve
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: and a half. Lanceloie pulled five and one against the
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: spread against the spread coming off of a bye week,
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: and they have Jalen Daniels, a quarterback who, by the way,
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: is in his sixth year. His sixth year, if you
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: look at the information from Kansas, he had three junior years. Yeah,
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: so he just keeps playing. Yeah, so don't like the situation.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: Leave it at that. Brad has the rest.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Ibby. You want to turn your microphone on.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: If you go throughs and read this week some national stuff,
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: especially from the the gambling folks. Yeah, this won't just
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: be a bad situational spot. This will be number one
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: bad situational spots on a lot of people's previews this
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: weekend for all of the reasons. Hoppy just said there
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: this this is one of those things there are certain
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: people just play just situational spots.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: This is a tough one.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: West Virgin's got his work cutout for us against a
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: good team off a bye with a coach. As you said,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: that is good off the buye. So Westerning's gonna have
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: to turn itself and get get focused early.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Do the analytics or the numbers merit that double digit line,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Like what if West Virginia, let's just say all things
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: even in West Virginia beat someone else instead of Pitt
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: and there wasn't a huge emotional thing like what would
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: the number.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Of Well if most of power rankings I saw are
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: somewhere between eight and ten points, I think this is
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: a pretty good premium here on that situational spot that
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: looks like got you another couple points.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: If you're Kansas. We're recording on Thursday, which means, by law,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Saturday is only two days away. And at our good
• 9:32

  Speaker 1: Spreads on stats brought us by the Conley CPA Group.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: They provide so much more than just well, I'm not
• 11:13

  Speaker 1: But they're a complete service public accounting firm and consultation firm.

  Speaker 1: That's a big part of their deal. They will walk

• 11:41
  Speaker 1: can do that for you. That's what they do their stuff.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: The stuff you don't want to do is what they
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: do Conley CPA Group. You say you have a lot
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: of numbers on this.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: I might have overloaded us. I might have too many numbers.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: You got to have too many numbers.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I think I did, right. I think this
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: might be one of those, right, might not too many.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Numbers, going Buddy, Holly g he's going here, We go here, and.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: This will kind of serve is not just numbers but
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: our preview. Let's say, you guys feel free to jump
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: in here. Okay, so let's start with this West Virginia
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: defense against Kansas's running game. We've been saying all week,
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: copy really all year, this West frated defense has been outstanding.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Here's some numbers to back that up. West Virginia is
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: number twelve in the country in opponent yards per carry
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: two point three six yards per carry. This West Forradian
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: defense is allowing. Here's what's interesting. On top of that,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: there's only ten Power four teams that have faced more
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: attempts per game than this defense. So it's not like
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: it's one of those where it hasn't got many carries
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: against it and it's playing well. Teams are trying to
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: run and they're not having success. That's number one couple
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: that are pair that with KU struggling to run it
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: here early this season and have very few explosive rush plays.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: On the year.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: In fact, the Jayhawks only have four runs of twenty
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: yards or more on the season. By comparison, West Virginia
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: has ten for a running unit that struggled mightily in
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: one of those games. So found that interesting. Kansas just
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: one hundred and nineteen rushing yards per game against FBS
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: teams and only ran for thirty one last week against Missouri.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: You're getting the third best run defense grade in the
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Big Twelve in West Virginia against the number three run
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: block grade offense in KU. Which is interesting that their
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: offensive line grades that high when the raw numbers aren't
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: that good. So first question is is Kansas able to
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: run the ball? Start right there, because if West Virginia
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: can make them one dimensional? Now what happens, right if
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: they keep them from running the ball, if they struggle again,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Now you're going to go into a pass game pass
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: defense against Jalen Daniels. I'm gonna dive deep on Daniels here.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: This is a WU pass defense that's eighteenth nationally and
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: expected points added per pass So really, how successful is
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: each pass play against this defense? So far? Not very good.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: It's going against a Kansas offense that's twenty first nationally
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: in EPA per pass attempt. So that's a good on
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: good and we say often hop when it's good on good,
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: which good is gooder?
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Which one's going to handle that? That's who's going to
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: win this? Exactly what we say. Let's jump down here
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: to Jalen Daniels.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: All right, bear with me here. Did you find anything
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: that's going to give us an aha moment? Did you have?
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: I don't know about allha, but I'm going to give
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: you one that was a little bit surprising. And Zach
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Alley alluded to it this week. If you were down
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: there listening intently to what.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: He said, you were taking notes during that presso I
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: was he was in their head. He looked like you
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: hoppy your little pad. He's right, and not notes if.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: You This is hard to do usually in football games,
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: But if you had to pick one player that's a
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: key for both teams in this game, I think it's
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Jalen Daniels right as he goes, Kansas goes, as he struggles,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Kansas struggles. West Virginia saw both of those things just
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: last year. Remember he came into that game last year
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: really struggling with the turnovers. But for ninety five percent
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: of that game.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: He did not.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: He was really good and dynamic. And what happened, Kansas
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: was up double digits going into the final four minutes.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: The what happened with what changed? Situation, turnover issues. West
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Virginia comes storming back and winning it. So you know,
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: in a game where there's twenty two players on the
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: field at one time, I think this is about as
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: important to both teams as a guy is. So here's
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: the good for Daniels. Top fifteen in passing efficiency so
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: far this year. Yards per attempt, completion percentage, and touchdown
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: interception ratio play into that. He's made big plays but
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: has avoided turnovers for the most part. Here's the raw numbers,
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: nine touchdowns, just two interceptions this season, average depth of
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: target almost ten yards, so he's his numbers look really good.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: Here's a couple things that jumped out though, just a
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: thirty percent success rate on passing downs. Again, limit the run,
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: make sure they know it's a passing down. What's West
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: Virginia gonna do?
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: Pin it?
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Tiers and come. So you're talking like second, seven, third
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: and four or more where most teams have to throw it.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: So some indications that you're struggling with your success rate.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: Could be offensive line breakdown, could be your quarterback holds
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: it too long, struggling on quick reads. But that's really
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: not an issue with with Daniels, who throws to his
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: first reads seventy three percent of the time locks in,
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: so he's not holding it, he's getting it out or
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: he's on the move. All Right, those stats combine probably
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: tell us you're looking at a quarterback that's a big
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: play or bust guy. Would that probably describe Jalen Daniels
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: big player bust. Here's what's interesting. Five big time throws
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: this season, but three turnover worthy plays. So nine touchdown
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: passes but only five deemed as big time throws. Two
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: interceptions but three turnover worthy plays, so maybe an extra
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: turnover in there that someone didn't come up with. He's mobile,
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: and this is the part, this is the part you
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: need to watch.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Mobility.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because well, let me come back. I'll come back
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: to that. We'll come back to mobility. This is the
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: third game in a row where the quarterback raw numbers
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: don't meet up with the big time throw turnover. You
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: want to call for an interception for the third week
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: in a row, We've hit it two weeks in a row,
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: so we tried again. These numbers aren't as out of
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: whack as the other two. Where it was clear Navarro
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: was going to give you some, it was clear Holeste
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: was going to give you some. This is a little
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: less clear. But I do think if you have any
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: chance to win hot, you got to get a couple
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: of picks off Daniels. We've seen that can happen. Watch Daniels.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Here's why the running game is also so important. Daniels
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: is fifth in the league in most dropbacks using some
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: form of play action, so they'll use something that denotes
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: play action in there. Ninety four percent completion percentage on
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: those passes. That's almost hard to believe. He's thirty one
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: of thirty three in those situations. Seven touchdowns of his
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: nine have come off play action and no interceptions. So
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: can you shut that down and make them have to throw?
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: His completion percentage is thirty nine percent better with play
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: action than it is without, so it's part of the indication.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: When it passing down and you're straight dropping back, his
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: completion percentage isn't the same. Here's what jumped to me.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Here's what jumped to me.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: This is like a nugget where we're gonna kind of
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: wrap our arms around him.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: I mean again, we'll see what if this plays it
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: or comes into fruition. But here's the part you watch.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: He's fifth in the Big Twelve and quarterback rushing yards
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: at forty yards per game, seven yards per carrier. We've
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: seen him with his legs. I mean he can take
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: off and be dangerous. He's got the second most ten
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: yard carries among Big Twelve quarterbacks, one touchdown, two fumbles.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: He has put it on the ground a couple times
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: two in three games. But here's what jumped out to me,
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: and this is what zach Ally said. He thought Navarro.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: Navarro's deal was pressure him and then you better contain
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: him because he's taken off and we saw it. Six
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: of his eight scrambles went for first downs. Same with Holstein.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: When he takes off, you got to get him on
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: the ground. Somehow, Daniels has been a little bit different.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: Ali mentioned this. When he's pressured and he's on the move,
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: he's not just looking to tucket and go, he's looking
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: to still throw it. That puts the defense in a
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: lot of stress because you can't just close like a
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: missile and hope you get him on the ground because
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: he'll pull up and throw it up.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Those are always the worst.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: That's scary because he take off and run. I just
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: told you the ten yard plays right, so he can
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: pull it and go. He can also freeze you and
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: then drop it off. Here's what surprised me. He's just
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: thirteenth among Big twelve quarterbacks in scramble yards. Here's your wow.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: He only has one more scramble yard than Nico has.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: That surprised me for a guy that's this mobile and
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: this athletic and can run so extremely well. And Nico's
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: not been scrambling around. He's he's content to throw it
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: or drop it down. So I thought that that jumped
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: out to me. When Daniels does decide to run, he
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: gets a first down on thirty five percent of his
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: rushing attempts.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what's do.
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: You have a stat unscramble completions?
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Probably do, but I don't have it in front of him.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: That's okay, But that is something that zach Ally talked
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: about here. That's hard to defend. That's the hard one
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: to defend. I mean, that's why when you have teams
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: that don't have good overall speed on defense. That's when
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: it really shows itself. If you've got a guy out
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: there running that ball at quarterback and he's got it
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: cocked and ready to go, and your guy can't catch
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: up with him. And that just surveying the field. But
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: you know what, Brad, if you got some hyenas out there,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: it'll come out. You got to get some hyena, some
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: hyena run India. If you can get make him throw
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: it a little quicker than he wants, to make him uncomfortable.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: But if you don't have if you've got like big,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: big lumbering cats out there, it's a long day. Yeah.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: And I think wester Ing has shown to have good speed,
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: good closing speed, good aggressiveness. It's just just what's Daniel's
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: gonna give you. He's just a real concern obvious.
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: So, Brad, those are excellent stats. So what's the strategicy
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: here for West Virginia's defense.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Well, let me give you a couple more here. Here's
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: the thing to watch under pressure. Here's another guy to watch,
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: and we could talk about Daniel Heishaw, the running back.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: He's a very good one that returns but keep an
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: eye on tight end to Sean Hannaka, that's who Daniels
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: looks for when he's under pressure. Twenty six percent of
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: the overall targets go to the tight end Hannika when
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: under pressure. Also not really a surprise, right quarterbacks are
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: getting pressure, they look for the tight end. Nico is
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: doing that with Grayson Barnes and will continue to do
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: some more. But keep an eye on Hannika. He's had
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: a very good start to the season so far. All right,
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: let's get into some of West Virginia's offensive numbers, because
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: that's the other part. There's a lot of defense here,
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: but I think if you can contain slash force Daniels
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: into some turnovers, you're going to like the results by
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: the end of the game. The other components. Obviously, what's
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: West Virginia's offense going to be this week? Because it's
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: now about continuing to improve, especially upfront and getting some consistency.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: We saw a massive leap from what you saw in
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: the Ohio U game to last week, and we had
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: talked hopy that hopefully knowing Jaheem White wasn't available to
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: you and prepping everybody else to get him ready, that
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: would be a benefit. What clearly worked, Ty Edwards was
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: pretty good, right, Welcome to West Virginia. Ty Edwards twenty
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: five carries in his first game. The surprising number there.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: I'll recap this. We talked about it in the review episode,
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: that ninety seven of his one forty one came around
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: the ends. That's what jumped out to me. Not that
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: he was running through people at the line of scrimmage,
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: but that burst of speed he showed around the.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: Edges, including that one from the hospital end zone. When
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: he was in the end zone, running running laterally in
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: the en zone. You're going like, this could be a situation.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So he won the one week Heisman.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, he was right.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: You just invite him to New York based off last
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: week's performance. So the question always becomes, what, hoppy can
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: you repeat the performance off of that? So here's some
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: numbers for Edwards. Among Big twelve running backs with at
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: least twenty five attempts, he got them all in one game.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: He has the six best yards per carry so far,
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: almost six yards per carry, which is which is huge.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: He's third among Big twelve running backs with at least
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: twenty five carries this season. In yards after contact per attempt,
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: No surprise, almost four and that's right close to what
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: he is in his career. Seventy six percent of his
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: career are come after contact. This year it's actually only
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: sixty seven. So he did get some edge rushes more
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: than he ever has. He leads the team in five
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: yard rushing attempts after one game and against the best
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: defense you've faced. That's how good that game was. He
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: also leads you in most ten yard or more carries
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: on the season after just one game against the best
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: defense you've played. West Virginia is now eighth nationally in
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: rush plays of ten yards or more. You wouldn't have
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: guessed that. So they had a little bit of pop
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: in there.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: You know what I think this does? So last week
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: you went into that game jaheem, white out, Jade and
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: bray out, and everyone's asking the question, Okay, who's it
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: going to be? What your plays? The fact that ty
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Edwards and it might be who knows if he'll be
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: able to consistently be the guy. But what it does?
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: I think to the Kansas defensive staff this week as
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: they go like, okay, we didn't know anything about two
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: last week prior to that game. Now we got to
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: do something for two two, Right for rich Rodriguez, Now
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: when he goes like this, now they crumble those things
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: and he gets he kind of gets that thing and
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: he kind of you know, he kind of gets it
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: like this a little bit and he folds it up
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: a little bit. Well, now when he looks down on
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: that sheet, he calls from a totally different place than
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: he did a week ago. Sure, now he's going like, okay, guys,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: you know I got two over here, so you better
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: do something for two. And I'm also going to show
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: you a little bit here and a number four. He
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: hasn't done anything since really week one. I'm gonna start
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: pumping that ball to number four and that eleven that
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: you saw at the end of the pit game, going like,
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: now you have to respect at least what West Virginia
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: can do, and I think that changes the entire complexion
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: of Missouri.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: Just ran for two hundred plus against his KU defense.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: They also threw it for three hundred plus, so they
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: carved him up. So see where where West Virginia matches up.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: But on the ground, as we know, I'm gonna say
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: this every week. Hop it's it's critical for a Rich
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: Rodrigez offense to have some success running the then that
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: leads you into throwing it. The conventional wisdom against his
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: Kansas team coming in was they would be more difficult
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: to run the ball against, but you might have some
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: success throwing it because they lost a couple really talented corners.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: So let's look at West Virginia when it throws it.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: Let's start with Nico. So, Nico's been very effective in
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: the quick pass game, drop back and get the ball out.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: He's thrown to his first read on sixty four of
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: his seventy eight dropbacks. Now, some of that's protection wise,
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: to make sure you don't have to ask those guys
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: up front to protect for a long time. So it's
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: get the ball out and don't check it down. Just
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: throw to your first read and go. Cam Vaughn has
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: been the most frequent first read target, almost thirty percent
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: of his throws those first reads.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: I just gave you.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: Go to cam Vaughan. I am interested to see if
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: you can do anything to get him more involved. Pitt
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: just flat was taking him away right. They're putting that
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: man press up on him with the cornerback. They had
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: that safety rolled over to him, and there were times
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: that safety just turned and ran over to him. There
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: was just it's hard to design a play to get
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: in the ball. You've got to go other places as
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: they did on Saturday.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right, right, So if you're going to play that
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: game with that safety, right, you're Grayson Barnes is among
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: others that are going to get opportunity Saturday, exactly right, right,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: take that seam route and say where's the safety. Oh,
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: safety's over there on the sideline covering Camboin. Okay, we're
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: just gonna stroke at man and man cover here.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: Right, let's watch this part of the game. Nico is
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: sixteen of sixteen on the season on passes ten yards
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: or less to the left or right thirds of the field.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: So take the middle out for a second, sixteen of
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: sixteen throwing left or throwing right. So basically, what are
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: you doing there? You're trying to get if you get
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: those one on one coverage, if you're going to load
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: the box on West Virginia, you throw it out in
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: the flat on your first read quickly, line doesn't have
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: to block long. You tell your guy to beat your guy,
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: go down and get open. And now it's one on one. Now,
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: let's watch this. Listening to some of the Kansas breakdowns
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: from their folks this.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: Week, you've been doing recon over on their side. Recon
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: you go over to the other side.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: What are they saying about their team? It sounds like
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: their dbs have missed a bunch of tackles so far
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: this season. Again, they lost a couple studs last year.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Sounds like some of those guys are missing tackles. So
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: if West Virginia can get the ball in space, can
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: you get cam Vaughn free over there and then just say, okay,
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: come on, you want a little bit of this, We're
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: going to go one on one and see if we
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: can make you miss. You saw that last week on
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: that big fifty six yarder from Scottie Fox, and I
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: know we talk about Fox's interceptions more, but that throw
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: he made was critical, and it was what was important
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: about a couple of things that then came out of there,
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: like a ninety seven mile an hour fastball. If he
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: throws that as a as an off speed pitch and
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: it doesn't get out there in time, Number nine, Kyle Lewis,
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: pits best defender makes that tackle. Instead, he winged that
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: thing and Smith Golden took off and Lewis couldn't get
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: to him. He just flat the ball beat him and
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: he beat him up the field for a big play.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: Can that happen again this week? Can you get the
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: ball in the hands of some receivers and let them
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: go to work on some defensive backs that maybe you're
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: having some trouble with some tacklings. Find out if they
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: can tackle or not.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: I guess that is what I'm saying.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: But sixteen of sixteen to the two outsides there for
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: Niko's pretty good. Will you take that hot every day?
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: Plus spreads the field right?
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: You know Missouri? You see time of possession in that game,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: it was overwhelmingly it was Ohio you it was forty
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: to twenty.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: Talk to talk to David Lawrence last night on sports Line.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: The analyst color analysts can't former offensive lineman there for
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: the Jayhawks.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: They lost faith in their their punter Mazoo did and
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: started just going for it on every fourth down and
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: it had success. It's part of why they ran so
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: many plays, it's part of why they kept the ball
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: so long and for that factory, yeah, four or five,
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: so they just sent Was that right? We're not gonna punt,
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: you just go back over the We're not gonna punt,
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: just gonna.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: Go for You have four downs, go for it, just
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: use them.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: Now that's the good news on the passing game is
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: can you can you continue to work that, put their
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: defensive backs in some stressful positions and see if they
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: can catch again. You want to go to Grayson Barnes
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: as much as possible too, if they're limiting Vaughan. I
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: think he he has been a guy that when they
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: signed him, they thought he would be a really effective
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: pass catcher for them. I think you saw why last week,
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: up starting to come into his own great security blanket.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: How often do you see that for quarterbacks love to
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: have a tight end they can go to. And that
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: catch he made out that'll go down as one of
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: the best plays of the year, not just because of
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: the result, the ability to go up and grab it
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: while contested. Now here's the bad news about West Virgine's
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: passing game. Just one hundred and twenty ninth nationally in
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: expected points added per pass attempt. Now that's not good
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: because there's only what one hundred and thirty six teams
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: in this but what that shows you, West VIRGINI just
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: hasn't been able to get on corked for some big
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: plays that would lead you to big expected points at it.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: It's been more of a manage it down the field,
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: open up the running game, and then when you go
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: to scorch the running game. So that number doesn't look
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: good doesn't overly concern me. With a rich Rodriguez offense
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: that wants to run it, I you can run.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: It, just warm in the passing game up up a
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: lot of room to get better.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, listen, if Nika is going to give you
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: seventy five percent completion rate, again, you feel pretty good
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: about where the passing game is. You'd like to think
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: you can shake one loose deep and get an explosive there.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: That would be the next evolution. But his Niko I'm
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: talking about his yards per attempt is up, even though
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: that expected points added number is not great, But he
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: came into the season only averaging five point six yards
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: per attempt. Basically eight is good. Ten nineh ten is
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: in the elite range. If you're under seven ish or
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: really under six or lower, you're struggling. Just five point
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: six for him coming in, he's already up to seven
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: point three against your two FBS opponents, So give him
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: some time. Run the ball and see what you can
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: do through the air.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: On an individual note, I'm really looking forward to watch
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: him play in this game. He's never lacked for confidence,
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: but I'm just wanting to see what that whole pit
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: game did for him, because he now has every right
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: to walk out onto the field and Vince mcmannon out
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: there like if there was ever any fought in the
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: back of his mind that he couldn't get it done,
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: Now he can walk out there and go, sup, let's go.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: And he's always had that right say.
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: I don't still lack for confidence, but you know, but
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: getting pulled and then coming back in it could dent it,
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: although he never will will let you know, right, I mean,
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: here's a kid brought his high school team back from
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: eighteen points down in sixty five seconds against Bishop Gorman.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Right it's in there, and I'm just wondering if this
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: was that seminal moment of his college career where he's
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: just gonna go like, you know what, I got this,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: no freaking problem, let's go now. I'd like to see
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: that you.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: Also have to help him this line, this line has
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: to take another step forward and be good and protect him.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: You did on the final two drives, and if you
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: give him time, he's going to complete it. You've got
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: to be able to run the ball effectively. Then that
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: allows Rich to be creative offensively, which you saw in
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: the third. In this last two possessions of the game,
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: I thought the play calling was tremendous with some of
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: that misdirection, the fake reverse that Pitt defended really well,
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: but it took a defender completely out of the play
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: and it allowed you to do some things offensively. So
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: get some help, and it starts with running the ball.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: Last thing, and then we'll move on last thing with
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: the numbers. Let's talk about this betting line for a second.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: Hop you mentioned it and touched on. This opened at
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: that eleven and a half, quickly went to thirteen and
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: a half, back to eleven and a half, back to
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: thirteen and a half, has settled in at twelve and
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: a half. This surprised me, I guess, but when you
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: think about it, maybe not. But this was interesting. Since
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: West Virginia's joined the Big twelve, this is the only
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: time it's been an underdog against Kansas ever the only time.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: How about that?
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's a big number. It's a two touchdown number.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: It's not like it's three or two. West virgin has
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: been a double digit favorite in this series since joining
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: the Big twelve nine times out of twelve. They've been
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: a twenty one point or more favorite seven times since twenty.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: Twelve against Kansas against Kansas.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: Ten and two straight up against the jayhawkson twelve since
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: twenty twelve, but just four seven and one ats or
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: against the spread since twenty twelve.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: You know, with those new stadium renovations, I'm wondering if
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: they could take that goal post out of there anymore.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: Remember they took that goal They took that goal post
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: out of there at time in Lawrence twenty thirteen. Yeah, thirteen.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: They walked it right out and they kind of jogged
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: it out of the stadium there.
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: You won't love these numbers. Necessarily, Westfordinia five and twenty
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: over its last twenty five games win a thirteen point
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: underdog are more.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: Totally immaterial, doesn't matter.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: Three of those have come on the road.
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: Here's here's a long form on Kansas. David Booth, who
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: was a graduate.
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: Of Kansas and became one of the most.
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: Successful investors investment fund managers in the country, founder of
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: Dimensional Fund Advisors Global Investment for m three hundred million
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: dollars donation three hundred yeah more.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: I mean that that's that's such an amazing number.
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: That is that is a that is a changing of
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: the direction of the arc.
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: That kind of money. It's amazing.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: And it's not his only one. I know it was
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: his name was already on the stadium. His name was
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: already fifteen million earlier.
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: Now it's a David Blue stadium, and now I gave
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: him another three hundred million dollars.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: Very nice man. Yeah, oh, I have talked to him before.
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: Excuse me.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: It is West Virginia connection.
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: Excuse me.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: Bas in the John Bline era when we were playing
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: in the NCAA tournament in Detroit.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: Detroit, Northwestern State beat Iowa.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, had had a conversation Kansas was in that same
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: area and had run into David Booth and had a
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: nice conversation with him.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, crazy, very nice man.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, unfortun I couldn't get him to donate to West
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: Virginia at the time I did ask. I mean that's
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: he was not interested in the time.
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: That's about that's about three times what your annual athletic
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: department budget is at Kansas.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: Mm hmm, okay, yeah, it's amazing, amazing.
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: One last number and then then we can move on
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: to something else. Watch third down in this game, and
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: again I know that's always a key right out right
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: third down? What's your ability to stop them on third down?
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: What's your ability to convert opponents? Average third down distance
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: against West Virginia this far? Thus far eight yards averaging
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: on third and eight Kansas averages just five point three
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: yards their offense five point three yards to go on
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: third down, but they're just one hundred and twenty sixth nationally.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: And third down success rate? Can you get off the
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: field if you're West Virginia's defense on third down?
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: They were three for ten on third down against Miszoo. Yeah,
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: it's huge, absolute huge wats third down. And you know
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: if you do a little bit of a deeper dive
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: on Zach Alley's defenses on third down, that's exactly his
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: mo is that he gets you into those third down
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: and longer situations. And it's a key obviously because then
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: you can heat things up and do a bunch of
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: different stuff. Well, that was really good. It was excellent
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: your mid season form. Even though it's on the game
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: four a lot, there's.
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: A lot of data, a lot of stuff that's very good.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: Go battle, Go battle. Kurtz will back it up.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: You don't.
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: You take that situational analysis and stick it right up
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: somebody's backside.
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: I understand, I understand. I'm just saying it's situational. It's
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: defined a situational for a reason. I'm telling you there
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: will be more.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: You will see that if you look at stuff nationally,
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: it'll be number one on most people's list of toughest
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: situations or negative situations to walk into. Yeah, there's there's
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: no doubt West Virginia is going to have to battle through.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: That doesn't mean you can't, but you do have to
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: deal with that.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: First. Rich probably get them. Rich probably won't let the
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: team know that they're double digit underdog, will he Yeah
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: that might come up. May may mention that, yeah, might
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: come up. Go get him.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: You got a challenge. But that's what this league is
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: going to be about every week now moving forward to
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: getting really good football teams. This is the best team
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: you will have faced to this point. This is the
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: best opposing coach you will face to this point.

• 41:57
  Speaker 1: In my opinion, this is much better. And it was.
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: It was an older woman, a grandma, and she took
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: over his restaurant and she went back there and she
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: just made that unbelievable Dubai chocolate buckleva. So that's gonna
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: probably piss off Nick the Greek in Clarksburg because he
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: was touting his buckle Va and everyone's got better buckle
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: vav than your buckle. I won't tell you something.
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: This was Duke Duke brought It was good, all right.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: Read this is either like someone wrote us a prison
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: letter or what what is this? What is that?
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: That's our guy, Tommy Boy. Tommy Boy brought us a
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: bunch of things, big giant, huge bag of pistachios. But
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: the real treat in there were some Romney peaches, much
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: discussed on this program brought us, brought us. I think
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: every Romney peach, every one.
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: Of them trees are bare news.
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: They're very good. So there's some out there for you guys.
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Tommy. You make She's gonna make me a
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: peach smoothie. Here we go with you. First one starts
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: like this lengthy text alert. After a couple of days
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: of reflecting, I felt this story had to be shared.
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: The story begins two weeks ago. My father Dan, who
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: will be seventy nine this November, had an appointment at
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: Ruby for a final consult and labs before open heart surgery.
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: A couple of weeks back after his appointment, he wanted
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: me to drive him around the stadium. He's an avid mountaineer, fan,
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: but he had not attended a game in over thirty years.
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: He was absolutely amazed at the facilities, more in awe
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: of our trip through the facilities parking lot turn around
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: before heading home. It was at that point that we
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: saw Tony getting into his truck. That led him to
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: talk about all of his favorite game calls, and it
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: led me to tell him about three guys. I'm not
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: sure that he fully understands the difference between a radio
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: and a podcast, but he enjoyed an episode on the
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: way home. It's okay, don't be a bet. Hopy doesn't
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: know the difference between a podcast and radio. Fast forward
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: this past Friday. We leave home in Richie County two
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: thirty in the morning. He's got it's at five o'clock
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: am check in for surgery. This time we listened to
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: the pit preview when he told me his all time
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: favorite pit game memories. I've attached a picture. He can
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: bring this up. It was taken at noon on the
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: day of the brawl. Take a look at this. He's
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: looking at the look at looking at the blue lot.
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: Less than eighteen hours after having a double bypass that
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: including concluded a mitrial and aortic valve replacement during an
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: eleven plus hour surgery. Here he's showing the same grittin
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: determination that the Mountaineers showed on game day. We have
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: since watched countless replays as he recovers. I'm sure he
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: will continue to finally remember the game for hopefully many
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: years to come. While many of our hearts surely had
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: a few years taken off of them Saturday thanks to
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: the fine folks at the Heart and Vascular Institute, hopefully
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: my father has a few years added to his. Maybe
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: when his diet restrictions are lifted, I'll sneak him to
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: tutors maybe Gomart for a hubcap size receas. If you've
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: made it this far, thanks for reading. Jake from Ritchie County,
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: currently living in the Rosenbaum family.
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: Awesome, that's a great shot. It is congratulations Dan for
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: successful surgery.
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: Will that awesome?
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: Perfect?
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: Perfect?
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: Perfect? Hey guys, long time, first time writing in as
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: a hopeful harbinger of positivity, the direct counterpart to our
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: winged friend from Point Pleasant. Something changed last week, and
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: I have an anecdotal evidence to prove it. On Tuesday
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: the ninth, my wife and I welcomed our first baby, girl,
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: to the world. After months of talking to her inside
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: the womb, begging her to either come a week before
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: or a week after the September thirteenth game. This dad was
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: thrilled for her first game to be the exact day,
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: the brawl day. Little did I know her birth and
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: first week of life would be a perfect example of
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: what was to come. On Saturday. Congratulations, that's awesome, he
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: went on. At first her newborn appointment on Friday, we
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: were told she had a low body temp needed extra time,
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: So my wife and I packed our bags rushed to
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: another very stressful, unexpected night in the hospital. We spent
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: the next sixteen hours watching her be poked and prodded,
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: but our little girl was a fighter. The next morning
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: a roller coaster. Good readings in the morning, little hiccup
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: around midday, ultimate victory. Coming home. When we were finally
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: giving the go ahead, the game had just started. The
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: three of us listened to Tony on the call of
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: our ride home. When we arrived just before halftime, I
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: put the game on TV. Second half started. After the
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: third quarter, I realized I needed to change something, so
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: we went back to radio. Only then Mountaineer Magic. My
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: girl undefeated, in the brawl. First song she ever heard
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: outside was Country Roads. After the best win in recent memory.
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: The tides are turning. Gentlemen, my Lily just may be
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: exactly what we needed to write the ship. Thanks for
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: all you guys do. I will hang up and listen.
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: Sean from Beckley.
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: Awesome, congratulations and welcome Lily.
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: This next one kind of shocked me. Person just says, hilarious, hilarious,
• 46:55

• 50:58
  Speaker 1: I was walking back to my car after the pit game,
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: I was stopped at the corner of Pattison in University
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: waiting for the traffic. Someone pressed to cross the crossing
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: signal to allow our group to cross. There's a visual
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: signal to let you know when it comes time to
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: cross the street, but there's also an audible signal for
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: those with visual impairments. The audible crossing signal sounds like
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: Tony's hyena call.
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: You know it does.
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: So if you have any vision impairments and need to
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: cross the street at Pattison Drive, just listen for the
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: hyena so you can cross the street safely. Signed by
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: the ghost of Yup Yup.
• 51:36
  Speaker 4: So be careful if you're with Tony because if Tony
• 51:38
  Speaker 4: does the hyena, you'll think it's okay to cross.
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: You guys want a mind blower? Yeah, I haven't shared
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: this with you got a direct message on the Twitter. Yeah,
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: it says this. Whoever knew that one of the presidents,
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: forever encased in the stone in Mount Rushmore brought a
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: hyena to the White House Teddy Roosevelt's many strange pets.
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: When Teddy Roosevelt began his presidency in nineteen at one,
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: his family moved into the White House with a horde
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: of pets. Those included a lizard named Bill, a blue
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: macaw called Eli Yale, a baron spreckled, the hen Maud
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: the pig one legged rooster, a barnow, and various guinea
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: pigs with names such as Admiral Dewey and Fighting Bob Evans.
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: As if this was not strange enough, the Roosevelts also
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: had a pet badger called Josiah, a small black bear
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: named Jonathan Edwards, and a hyena called Bill. Teddy Roosevelt
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: had a hyena in the White House.
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: There you go, source, Are you giving your source?
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: Very credible source? President President Michael Benson sent that over
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: to me.
• 52:50
  Speaker 4: Oh did he Yeah, he's he his, he's miss He's
• 52:54
  Speaker 4: got a lot of info and hard drive that he's
• 52:59
  Speaker 4: on that rower.
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, he gets on that road six in the morning.
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: Every morning he gets on that thing and he crushes it.
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: And I think he might be listening to the show
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: at six in the morning, big history guy, I'm sure
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: he is. Texter. I get Kansas. That I get the
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: Kansas is better than Charlie Weisser less miles years, but
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: they still have only one winning record since two thousand
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: and eight. At some point, do we give them too
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: much credit for being a good coaching staff or forget
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: it's still Kansas football. I realized I've jinxed us now. Also,
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: when does Tony break out the banjo at the tailgate
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: for some live music?
• 53:35
  Speaker 3: I think Lightpol's a pretty good coach, superb.
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: Hey, three guys, I had the absolute honor of screaming
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: off my voice at Mountaineer Field this past weekend. I
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: have my own spreads on stats here it is. I
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: drove about eight hours from the Outer Banks Friday, arriving
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: at midnight fine town of Davis, West Virginia. Stay with
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: my roommate. Following from my WV roommate. Next morning, we
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: drive an hour and a half to Morgantown. Spend eleven
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: hours in Morgantown, returned the hour and a half up
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: to Davis on Sunday. After the game, I drove eight
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: hours back North Carolina. All together, nineteen hours of travel
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: time for eleven hours in Morgantown, or one point seven
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: three hours of drive time for every hour of Morgantown time. Ultimately,
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: this proved to be the winning formula. We defeated the
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: pit Puttycats. One other thing, I believe I have solved
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: the fake injury issue. Real simple. You go down the
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: only only the injured player can be substituted during the stoppage,
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: and he has to sit out there, made to drive.
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: You know. Rich said that something like that makes sense, right.
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because if you're really hurt then it doesn't. Then.
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: But to Brad's point, one of these days, if someone's
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: really hurt and you penalize the team, then there's going
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: to be all heck, break loose.
• 54:44
  Speaker 4: Well, that's not a penalty, I mean that would be
• 54:46
  Speaker 4: you sit out if.
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: You're out Texter, he asked for this. Hello, I'm sure
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: I'm not the only one wondering what does the WV
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: Board of Governors approving this resolution for development of a
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: financial plan look like and mean for West Virginia. Also,
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of talk about it placing West
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: Virginia in the top tier of the Big twelve by
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: what metric? What does that mean? What do you think
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: it means for West Virginia right now? There's a place
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: is where we need to be financially to be in
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: the sixty ish super League that's been floating around.
• 55:16
  Speaker 4: Overall thoughts that the endorsement is important because it says
• 55:22
  Speaker 4: that the Board of Governors is all in on what
• 55:24
  Speaker 4: Rinn Baker's trying to do. We know that President Benson
• 55:28
  Speaker 4: is all in and what Rin Baker's trying to do
• 55:30
  Speaker 4: is get West Virginia in the upper tier of the
• 55:33
  Speaker 4: Big twelve in terms of its financing. And I don't
• 55:36
  Speaker 4: have it in front of me. I mean, I've seen
• 55:37
  Speaker 4: the plan, but there's eleven or twelve bread there's eleven
• 55:41
  Speaker 4: or twelve steps that Baker wants to do to try
• 55:44
  Speaker 4: to increase revenue for the athletic department.
• 55:48
  Speaker 3: I think the bigger ones.
• 55:50
  Speaker 4: There are a lot of different ones, but the bigger
• 55:52
  Speaker 4: ones are this remodeling of the Milan pushcar and of
• 55:57
  Speaker 4: the coliseum and naming rights to try to attract more dollars.
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: Big dollars come with those name us.
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: It's also making sure you have a commitment from the
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: university because you may need some money assistance at some.
• 56:08
  Speaker 4: Point, and if it's not direct cash, it's some accommodation
• 56:13
  Speaker 4: for scholarships and those kinds of things. So that's the
• 56:17
  Speaker 4: direction all this is headed, and that approval by the
• 56:19
  Speaker 4: Board of Governors is important for that.
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: I think I may have said this. I know I
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: said it on MSN during our broadcast pregame, or I
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: may have said it here. I mean, all of what
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: West Virginia is doing is positioning itself for the next
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: round of conference realignment. That's what they're doing. They want
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: to make sure that they are viewed, that they are
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: in a competitive mode, and that they are doing everything
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: that they possibly can do. That's what this is all
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: setting up for for five six years down the road
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: when this thing blows up again. Devin on the Goshen Road,
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: I know you're looking for a sponsor for Hoppy's obvious observations.
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: I had an idea. I know the Clear Mountain Bank
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: is sponsoring the three guys at BW three, but what
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: if they also sponsored Hoppy's segment? Could they call it
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: something like Hoppy's Clear and obvious observations brought to you
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: by Clear Mountain Bank. Just a thought, Yeah, Buffalo Wi
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: Wings folks.
• 57:11
  Speaker 4: Probably Yeah, sometimes the observations are more obvious than clear.
• 57:15
  Speaker 4: But I had a couple others too, But we'll get
• 57:18
  Speaker 4: if we have time. If we don't, it's okay, okay.
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: Texter in Salem, Massachusetts this week. This is hanging in
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: the window of a coffee shop. One of the owners
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: is from West Virginia. Always a West Virginia canct oh
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: LULUs Lulu's Baker and pantry. I'll tell you what, I
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: bet you's a yoga studio next door to that, don't
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: you think? What do you think? Brad? Probably yeah, just
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: get there and good workout and go over there and
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: get yourself a big, big muffin. Uh, Texter. Here's a
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: gambling slip from the game. TEXTA says five and a
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: half was the largest I could get us at. So
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: he put the eight American dollars down and they gave
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: him thirty nine to sixty. Yeah, but see what he did.
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: He flipped the line there.
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: He took West Virginia favored by five and a half.
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: It went off as West Virginia seven and a half
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: point dog, so he really called it shot. He didn't
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: just take West Virginia, he said, win. He took West
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: Virginia as a favorite and got a nice payout.
• 58:16
  Speaker 3: Did how'd that work? Bread? How is it a favorite
• 58:18
  Speaker 3: at some point?
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: Well, you can do alternate spreads. Oh you can't chose?
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: He chose.
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: He had enough confidence in West Virginia to say, I
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: don't know how you're not giving me the points. In fact,
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you points and still win.
• 58:28
  Speaker 3: Wow. Took some stones.
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: Now, not to get into it too, but guys do
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: that right, and they just jump all over the place.
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: Bread make multiples on both sides so they can basically
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: not lose.
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: Uh, well, that's sometimes. That's usually when the line is
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: doing that itself.
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Texter. In the midst of an ice and snowstorm
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: in March of twenty twenty two, I trudged to the

  Speaker 1: the left right situation at Flatwood's gomart because she similarly

• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: the food court. See you in Houston. There you are
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: bred talking to those folks came in from Houston.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: I had a great time with them. Clay, Yeah, exactly.
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: How about this picture, Well I did not get to
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: talk to them. I did get a let's go from
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: across the street in downtown Bamp, Canada. That is an
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: unbelievable place, and that's an unbelievable picture. Like every place
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: you turn in Bamp, which is in Alberta, Calgary, Alberta, right, Alberta.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: So every place you turn in Bamp is a postcard.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: Like you don't have to you don't have to just
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: go like this, everything you turn is just unbelievable. So
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: there you go. Did we forget anything? Yeah we did.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: We've got a huge piece of this game, potentially with
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: the defense Jamoy Robinson back. Talking about Jamoy Robinson for
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: how many months now? He is finally back eligible important
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: part of that. You know, Westerna's second the nation in sacks.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: We talked about how important pressure is in this game
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 2: and even if nothing else, because you're probably not going
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: to be able to see Jamory Robinson for a ton
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 2: of plays, right although ty Edward's only a couple of
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 2: games and got twenty.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: Five carries, so so maybe you will.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 2: But if nothing else, Tony, you've got to account for him. Sure,
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 2: you talk about having a game plan for ty Edwards,
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 2: you better account for where Jamoori is. And does that
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 2: mean hoppy sliding a running back over to Chip? Does
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 2: it mean putting an extra tight end over on that side.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 2: That should open up some opportunities just by his mere
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 2: presence on the field, never mind if he gets involved
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: and makes a play. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a nice addition.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 3: It'd be nice if he can make a player two
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 3: in that game.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 4: Does one other note, Tony where and this is probably
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 4: we can talk about this some other time in NCAA.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 3: Removing that spring period for the transfer window, closing it up.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 4: And there's still and the proposal is to have an
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 4: allen January January second.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 3: Through the twelfth.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: They still have to figure the data.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they got to have worked that out. But that
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 4: would be a plus for coaches, and Rich Rodriguez spoke
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 4: in favor of it. A plus for coaches, probably a
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 4: bit of a challenge for players. It was like eleven
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 4: hundred players who use the spring transferred portal. Okay, so
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 4: because you go through spring practice and you see it's
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 4: not looking good for you can transfer. But that would
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 4: that would take out that spring portal there, there would
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 4: just be one portal and would right now would take
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 4: away that December portal and move it to January, because
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 4: that December portal nobody likes, at least the coaches don't,
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 4: because it's bull season. Everything else, coaches being hired and fired,
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 4: everything else.
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: This is a step in the right direction to kind
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: of try to get a little bit more balance. You
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: don't hit the music. We're not done.
• 1:11:33
