• 0:38
  Speaker 1: like the latest commitment. Coop's gotta give his thoughts and
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: I got a few more opinions on it. Talk about
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: bv's presser that went down yesterday. He had some interesting
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: takes Illinois State. We've got to talk about what we
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: hope to see in that game, and we'll also dive
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: into the depth chart and kind of how we felt
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: about that. So Coop, Happy Wednesday, man, I'm glad that
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: we were able to get you.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, man, it's Jay. The next time we do a show,
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: we're gonna be breaking down a center performance on the
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: actual football field. That results, results in results, and no
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: more talk season. We are now talk season is officially over.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: It's out out the door. We're done, done, Ski. That's
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: the best part. Yeah, we have to talk football going forward,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Coop is actual games with the talk about injuries, who
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: we think is gonna be wearing what. Of course, we're
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: gonna dive into the depth chart a little bit, also
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: adding in there we may if we have time, we'll
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: wrap things up and talk about some of the games
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: around the SEC that's really got our attention. So Coop,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: let's jump into the most important one here first and foremost.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: We'll lead the day off with this, got a commitment
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: t Ron Richardson, defensive lineman out of Virginia three star
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: on most of the rating sites. But I think that
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: it's kind of odd how low he is. But when
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: I did my break down on it yesterday, I felt
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: like what jumped out to me the most with why
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: he's rated so low is that most of his recruitment
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: didn't really start till this year, Like April Man is
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: when you start to see all the big dogs really
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: give him his offers. And on three post it that
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: he's listed at six.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Five.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Everybody else has either six two or six three ish
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: and a half, but everybody's roughly around two ninety two
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: ninety five. So I'm gonna I'm gonna go ahead and
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: safely say he's around six three and a half maybe
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: six four two ninety five. But I think the thing
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: that jumped out also with him is that dude's wingspan
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: six eleven coop. That's absurd, That is absurd for that side.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: So if he ain't six five, that's wild. If he
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: is six five, still pretty wild. What do you think
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: about it?
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: I mean, first of all, I love his frame.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Kind of like what you're talking about is that's that
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: goes a long way in in just kind of what
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: your projection capability is for you know, a defensive line
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: when in general, you know, if you're at a six
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: two route, not saying that you can't be a six
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: to two guy and be a big producer. Like I
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: always go back and think of guys like Elmis Dumerville, Uh.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: You know, really really a shorter kid, but he wreck.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Shop, you know in college. I know he played on
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: the Denver Broncos and the Ravens for a while and
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: he was part of really really good defenses. But you
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: know with Tran you know, if he is six three five,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: uh six three point five, so six three and a half,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: he's going to have a lot of capabilities to do
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: several different things.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Right now, I think that big of the big reason
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: why the three star you know is there is he
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: he plays in Virginia and you know, when you are
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: outside of you know, major recruiting hotbeds like Flora to California, Texas.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: You know, typically not a lot of people have seen you.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: You know, people will see the film. He plays pretty
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: crazy on the film. You know, he's got a lot
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: of technique to still to learn. And I think that
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: you know, that's why he is looking towards you know,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: coming in and being with Todd Bates is you know,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Todd Bates can teach him a lot of the techniques,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: you know, because he learns how to play with great
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: pad level and also gets his body refined. Schmidty, you
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: know he mentioned Jerry Schmidt. You know, during his commitment,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: a lot of his faith based you know, principles lined
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: up with what coach Nibles wants. But he's a dude
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: that I think probably is going to need to come
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: in get his body you know, optimized and and that's
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: just the muscle figure because I think the size wise,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, this is a seventeen year old
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: kid six three and a half two hundred ninety right now,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: so you come in, won't be very long before he's
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: up over that three bill mark. But once he learned
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: some of that technique stuff, that's the raw piece where
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: you know, you see offers from South Carolina, from Florida, Georgia,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: you know, Kentucky, Auburn, a lot of really really higher end,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: you know, tier programs, Penn State. Penn State's always been
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: known for a great defensive lineman. So hopefully you see
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: a little bit of a skyrocketing in the ray Kings,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: you know here over the season. You know, it's always
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: curious to say, you know, what do these guys do
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: once they've got their commitment in with a with a
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: major program. Do they continue to improve or do they
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: just go out and they know that the uh, they
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: know what the eyeballs are going to be on them.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: So I'm excited about him, and I think that his
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: athleticism is going to be something that you know, Chavis
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Bates Venables can really really work with, you know, probably
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: a year two contributor and then hopefully but his ceiling, Jay,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: his ceiling is is is very very exciting.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: He has a very high ceiling and being the six
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: eleven wingspan is the thing to still absurd to me
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: that that's ridiculous long arms. That means that he that's
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: that's just absurd to me to have that wingspan and
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: you one hundred percent right as a contributor, though. You
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: know what's interesting to me is been talking we'll talking
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: about this with John and as I kind of thought
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: about it more and more when you look at the
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: roster and which we'll do that next, we're gonna do,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: you know, thoughts on the depth chart and everything as
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: well as bv's presser that we're very young. And it's
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: funny because you know what, let me go ahead and
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: pull it up now, because this was something that even
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: like the Virginia Tech people were basically talking about when
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: they looked at us competing, they were like, why would
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: he go to that school? They've got all these dudes
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: that are young and are gonna play. And I was like,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: that's a really good point. But I see why because
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: as much as y'all would most people will balk at Coop.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma can afford to have a guy at his price
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: point sit the bench for a bit. That's kind of
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: the thing about it. And the Virginia Tech mods were
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: pointing out numbers and stuff. I don't believe any of them, uh,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: but I do know that Oklahoma would be willing to
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: spend on a player that has this high of an
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: upside that you mentioned, because we've got a lot of
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: defensive lineman, Like, we've got a bunch of sophomores, red
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: shirt sophomores, and red shirt freshmen that are gonna be
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: here for the next two years. So for Teyran, his
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: opportunity to contribute could be early. If he is a
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: genetic freak and he goes out there at six y
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: five with a seven foot wing span and keeps growing.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: If you get an eight foot one, he's definitely gonna
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: be a starter at that point, and see if you
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: can actually make that happen. I don't think he'll be
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: able to get to an eight foot wig span. That
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: was a joke, but at his size, his ability to
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: contribute them early. So, and it's mainly going to be
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: all around who's here and who's ready to play? But
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: that's the good thing about that, Coop, is he could
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: contribute your two, he could contribute your three. He could
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: start year three. Oklahoma is in a good spot in
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: the defensive line with really good players that we're very
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: high on that Will will We'll be okay to be
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: able to take three defensive linemens some projects and really
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: mold them to play in the like last couple of
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: years in college football.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: So that's it, Jial And you see, you know, I
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: know that the talking point of well it was down
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: between Virginia Tech and OU, So like why is this
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: a big deal? Well, let's first of all think for this,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: like he lives in Virginia, he plays in Virginia. So
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: this is like a situation to where it's down you know,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: with a with a kid like a Grandville from a
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: couple of years ago, you know, down between like Penn
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: State and OU, like do you stay home and play
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: close to home? You know for a program that West
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Virginia is not what they were in the Frank Beamer days.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: That's they're just not We understand that. But West Virginia
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: still has guys year in a year out who hit
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: the league and and so you know, to be able
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: to pull him out of Virginia with the things that
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: you said, you know, it shows that you're going to
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: want to add to the depth because I've already seen
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: a lot of the trash talking between the LSU and
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Clemson boards, you know, talking about you know, Clemson only
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: has one dude on their defensive line who's really just scary.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: Everybody else is just a guy.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: And that's where a lot of the comparisons this year was,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: you know, would you take Clemson's line or would you
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: take OU's line? And I think that hyou is getting
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: the nods for a lot of the best line out
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: there is because of the of the depth, you know,
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: all the way through. And so if you can have
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: a you know, if you can have a guy like
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: t Rn here in two years be your number four
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: defensive tackle or nose tackle, like, that's a great place
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: to be. That's where you want to be. Is you
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: want to be able to roll him out there, you
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: know at the end of games, you know, when you've
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: got a comfortable lead and get some good seasoning and
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: good playing time. But with the ceiling of what Tyran
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: has is I mean he has a yeah, I think
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: his floor is probably a good rotational player. But what
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: a ceiling is is he offers a lot of those
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: intangibles where you know, you get a good push up
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: from the defensive line.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: He's hard to move, but.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Then if he's got that big wing up there up
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: in the sky, you know, that makes it even tougher
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: because I mean, you think of a guy like Kalais Campbell.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Kalaias Campbell was a dude, you know, running around the
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: defensive line at six six, and he got home to
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: the quarterback quite often. He was great in space and tackling,
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: but really one of the big things and I remember
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: watching so many NFL games with Kalais Campbell out there
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: is the dude was was a shoe in for you know,
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: ten knockdowns a year at the line of scrimmage. And
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: I guess what, Jay, I'm ninety nine percent sure that
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: you know, when you knock the ball down at the
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: line of scrimmage, there's a there's a zero percent chance
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: that a play is positive for the offense. And so
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: he's got some of those intangible pieces that his ceiling
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: is actually going to allow him to be a very,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: very exciting prospect. And if he wants to come in
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: and get after it right from the get and force
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: himself in there. That's what you want. That's when Brent
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Vinimals talks about competitive you know what is you want
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: those guys to be in and you know, really pressing
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: to come in and get their snaps. And you don't
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: need a ton out of him as a freshman. You're
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: gonna want him to be, you know, as somebody you
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: can rely on as a sophomore. And I think that
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: that's where Tran's going to make, you know, a big splash.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: I see that part as well. So thank you all
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: for pulling up hit the lag button, new to the chance,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: subscribe rate review if his father's jumped to his depth
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: tart to coop. The first depth tart dropped earlier in
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: the week. We've had a lot of people with a
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: lot of feelings on it. Monday, I dropped a quick
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: instant reaction on it. Been sitting on it, listening to
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: a few other opinions, digesting the information, and I'm gonna
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: be one hundred percent honest. Yeah, we we we we
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: We've lost the plot man. We not as not as
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: a team, not Oklahoma, the fan base. We we we
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: use fans have lost the plot and understanding that we're
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: gonna preview this team in a bit and we're gonna
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: talk about the key things that we need to see later.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Some make sure you stick around for that. But real talk, Coop,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: when you look at this depth chart, like I'm looking
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: at the depth chart now, I'm gonna pull us for
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: everybody else to see understand this. We're playing Illinois State,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: so for us, and I don't want to go too
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: far into it because, like I said, I wanted to
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: really dive into this later, so I don't want to
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: repeat too much information for you all UH on this
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: uh on this premiere. But Coop, when you look at
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: the way the depth chart is configured, you can tell
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: that it's a lot of I want to see what
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: you're gonna do in live snaps situation. That's one. Two.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: A lot of it is being rewarded for being available.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: So at the presser and this is some of the
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: things they talked about. We can combine pressor with the
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: depth chart. That's what ben our Buckle and BV were
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: really diving into was we want to reward players that
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: were able to practice the majority of the time and
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: be healthy. So if you with jayden I down there
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: at third people are thinking, what was he not that good? No,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: it's Illinois State and he wasn't really available for fall camp.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Why play him in a game that legitimately is meaningless
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: legitimately for it in the grand scheme of things, it
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: gives value to us as fans because we get an
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: idea of what our team is gonna look like, and
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: there will be pieces we have to pay attention to.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: But overall this is these are people that work their
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: butts off in practice. They're gonna start the first game
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: of the season, be the first one to run out
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: for you out to see. And a lot of these
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: dudes are not gonna play the whole game like most
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: of these are, especially on defense. But it's good to
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: see them shut things down early and then you know,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: move on to the next one. So with that, get
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: off that soapbox. When you saw the depth chart, what
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: what surprised you? What put a smile on your face?
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: What possibly bothered you?
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: What put a smile on my face? First, jay is
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: this shows the depth It is when you have so
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: many things. When people see, oh, well, Michael Fasussi or
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Jacob Sexton, they think, well, what does that mean? Does
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: that mean Jacob Sexton is not good enough? Or does
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: it mean FASUSSI. What it means is you have two
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: solid people that you're willing to run out there as
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: a starter.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: When you see.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Derek Simmons, Logan Hallen, Jake Taylor, same situation if Jake
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Taylor is playing right tackle for you in Game one
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: against Illinois State.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: Like there's that.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: You know, those are the pieces where you look at
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: it and you go, man, there's so much quality, depth
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: of you know throughout this you know, lineup and Jay,
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: you only get to put twenty two guys as starters, right,
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: and I'm not counting the special teams, but you know,
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: eleven on offense, eleven on defense, you only get that.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: And so if you're looking at the running back room,
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: all right, So Javonte Barnes, we heard best you know
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: preseason he's had since he's been here. And that's saying
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: a lot because that's three straight years where there's a
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: lot of hype around Javonte Barnes. But if you think
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: that Jay Not's not going to be out there, like
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: here's like you said, Jay, You're do you what do
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: you need from Jaye not you need him some you know,
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: live game snaps, you know who he is, you know
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: that he had, you know the injury stuff. You know
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: where you want to kind of keep him. It's a
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: running back. I'm running back to the reason why the
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: crews are so short is because they take a lot
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: of hits. I mean, ninety nine percent of the time
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: they're going to get hit on a play. You know,
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: it's it's there's not much fear when if they don't
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: don't get touched because that's usually a big long run,
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: or they take the ball out of bounds. And so
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: when I see the oars, I don't see man, nobody
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: took this over.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: I see.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: That's pretty awesome because look at the depth we have
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: in that area. You go to the tight end, big
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: talking point. You're telling me that your third string linebackers
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: now you're leading tight end. We know that that is
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: a weakness on the team from a there's no stars
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: there but Jaron Kannick and you heard it in Oppressors.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Jaron Kannick every day gave everything on the field and
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: then gave exponential amount off the field too. You know,
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: in the film room talking to coaches, hearing things, learning responsibilities,
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: and those are the things that when you heard that
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: from him as a linebacker, it was he just kind
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: of didn't, you know, really just you know, grasp the concept.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: And so he said, okay, by in grasping concepts in
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: don't have that time anymore, I'm a I need to
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: get out there and I need to do these things.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: And so that gets me excited.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: There are some areas here to where you see you know,
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: there's no oars like a Dion Burks, like we all
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: knew what that was going to be. Jeometier. You don't
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: want an oar at the quarterback right there. You want
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: him to be a solid setup winner and leader of
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: the team. Contes Lewis. You know we we are big
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: proponents of the Contest Lewis fan club already. And so
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: I see, I see a lot of competition. I see
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: a lot of quality depth, and that's that's the big thing.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: My surprise, the biggest surprise I have is Boganowski over
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: Robert Spears Junings and that has nothing to do with
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: anything except for Jay. We're trying to replace quality players
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: with better players, with more athleticism, with more capability, and
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: Michael Boganowski was a lot earlier in the fall camp
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: with a lot of the talk about you know, Jayden, Hardy,
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Reggie powers man man out there, and then all of
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: a sudden the past couple of weeks, Boganowski all of
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: a sudden was getting a lot of a lot of talk.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: And so that was probably the one surprise that I saw.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: And the last thing I'll say before my filibuster is
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: over is jay is sure as heck. Ain't sad to
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: see Gentry Williams there. There's no ore. It's my man
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: from the nine to one eight is healthy. All the
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: injury issues that were confusing have now been cleared up.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: He had the surgeries, he's he's got some distance between
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: the last surgery and he is one hundred percent healthy.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: And so I that just brings a smile to my
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: face because we know what his potential and capabilities are.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Tulsa stand up, my bad, y'all. I got a little
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: motional thinking about that. Some of my eye some of
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: my eye, But yeah, that that that to me was
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: was it Gentry Starter. We're gonna get to see him
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: and see how healthy he really is. For probably the
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: first quarter, you're gonna see Nukem most of the game.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Probably you'll probably see some of the freshmen the other
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: side of Courtland or the Jacob uh Jacoby Johnson going
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: together is a big deal to me. Jacoby Johnson is huge.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: You needed that then, but yeah, those were big to
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Mechanick is fascinating. Ben Arbuckle talked about that in his
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: presser of just how hard of a worker he was,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: and I like to hear that hard work is getting,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: you know, being rewarded. Barnes had his best cam, so yeah,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: he got it in there for Susie. They even after
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: the scare last week with with the reporting on him
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: and and and heat related stuff, him being up there
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: shows us, Oh, they're gonna they want to see what
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: they've got. He has now opportunity to them all someone
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: and let's see if he's gonna be good and set.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: This is the perfect opportunity to trial it out. You'll
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: get a little bit of geometer early as he's working
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: with his wide receivers. I think for me, the bigger
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: one too was Keantes Lewis out there with stain Yet
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: and Dion Burgs that we talked about that right now,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: That's one thing they talked about. How fascinating would that
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: be to see that as a three wide receiver? Said,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: and here it is, Kearnie. I'm still on the Zion
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Kurry's gonna start training down the line right now. He's
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: at the or with Jermichael Carter. But I mean to
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: be honest, Coop, do we really need to see more
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: of Zion Kearney right now? I think they've seen enough
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: of that in practice and that dominated he was that.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: They're like, oh, you you were out for a little bit.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: We're gonna keep you healthy because we need you for
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: the big games, especially SEC play. You're gonna be critical
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: in SEC play. So I don't expect to see I
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: expect to see Kerney as some snaps. I don't see
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: expect see a lot of them because there's no reason
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: to play him in this game because it's no Shade
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Norse State. So you got that. That's that depth chart.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Let me know what y'all think. Hopping in the comments,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: you know, we love to read what y'all got to say.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Thank y'all for pulling up per the usual hit the
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: like button if you knew to the channel, subscribe rate review,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: give us five. This is me putting in spot stops
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: for ad reads that will be coming once the season starts.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Pretty excited about that. We've got some cool be working
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: some stuff in the background, got some good stuff coming
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: for us. An evolution of the show will pryfully get
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: some bigger stuff going so that you know, Coop can
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: eventually quit his job and I can be his sugar daddy.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: So anyway, with that, I like it BB's presser Coop
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: the press conference went down. It was definitely one of
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: those that was interesting. It's gonna combine it with the
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: depth chart top and now we're gonna do this separately.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Bv uh. Basically he didn't throw shade, but man, he
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: threw a hammer down on this one. Dog saw Darry
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Noka's tweet basically talking about not only will we run
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: around with two point two GPAs, and I get that
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: fans don't really care about the GPAs of the players
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: when in all actuality you should. Education is this would
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: be a critical component of it. And honestly, GPAs to me,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: you don't have to have a four point zero, but
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: effort gets you a guarantee three point oh at the
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: collegiate level period like effort gets you there teachers, No
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: teachers know you they're gonna help you. They're gonna find
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: ways to help you get at least a three point
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: zho in their health. I took humanities in college and
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: I was failing it literally the first month of it.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: So I went to my teacher's office hours and I said, look,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know why this information I cannot retain it.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: It just will not stick. Can you help me? And
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: he's like, yeah, just come to my office. Here's my
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: office hours. You know what if since you work at
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: these times, you can come before at this time for
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: class blah blah blah, and we'll work through it. And
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: that got me a C. And that was just because
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: of the just the effort I put in. I probably
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: didn't even deserve that. I think he was gonna give
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: me a B. But I was struggling so bad in
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: the beginning that it was kind of.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: Hard to just about that.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: But real talk, though, I eventually got to the point
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: where I got to seen that class. He made sure
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: I passed it. He that teacher looked out for me
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: like crazy, and that's really what that is. So that
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: two point two GPA that BB talked about shows you
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: effort in doing the right things. And then of course
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: there's the failed drug test and all the other stuff.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Not sure what drugs, Probably just weed, but I don't
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: know what drugs it was. At the time. Of course
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: you couldn't do it, but I'd say now it's probably
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: a lot better for them to smoke weed and take opiate.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: So we'll go into that and another day. That's another
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: conversation that I don't even want to hear a lot
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: of people's opinions on for the most part, yes, but
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: not everybody else's. But yeah, you got a lot of
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: stuff where people just weren't doing what they were supposed
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: to do. And man, when you got to come in
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: and really change that, rip it to the studs. Cool,
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Remember when he said that at the first press conference.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Get the pool of this babble to the studs. Think
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: about building a house, how long it takes. Like luckily
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: with this situation, the building materials, you know, being humans,
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: it's a little tougher because it takes a lot more
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: time for that, the bodies and everything to develop. But shoot, man,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: we had freaking not only did you go to the studs,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: you had drywall that broke that, you had you know,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: all them injuries last year. So what did you think
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: about that? Though? Man, he kind of really called link
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: out for the way he was running things.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: People are gonna do what the coach to do or
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: what they're allowed to do. And that's just a general
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: I mean that can go across from parenting, from you know,
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: your workplace to relationships. And he brought up a comment
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: where he said, you know, when you're you have the
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: lower GPA, you have the failed drug test, which brought
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: about a lot of like lackaday'sical like just approaches to
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: several things. And you heard our Buckles say it too,
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: where he said, you know, Brevnables goes, you know in
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: a way to where he does, you know the old
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: adage of do anything like you do everything. And so
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: if you have this whole scope of life and you're
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: trying to build better men, number one, better men are
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: going to make better choices. And so if you're asking
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: these kids to be on point, to be to achieve
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: excellence in the film room, on the practice field, on
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: on game days, but then you're saying, but I'm okay
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: with you just kind of making silly choices Monday Wednesday
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: with Sunday like those are the things that like it
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: doesn't you know, the math ain't math in right there, Jays.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: So I understand that when you look at a Georgia
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: and the thirty some odd traffic instances, incidents, you look
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: at you know, drug tests, none of that stuff matters
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: to some of the fan base because the lost column
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: looks pretty. But at the same time, Jay, I got
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: to say this is, you know, there's a reason why
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: I think that Kirby Smart's kind of hedging right now
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: is because it's it's You've got this great set of talent,
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: and we've seen teams like Texas have great sets of
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: talent recruit top every year, every year, every year, and
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: it didn't produce on the field. And so I just
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: I just say this, Jay is, Yeah, if you can
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: break some of these habits to where you are taking
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Monday through Friday and Sunday as serious as you're taking
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: game day, you're going to be more available. You're going
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: to avoid so many more situations. And how many of
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: us would be absolutely livid if we find out that
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: we don't have Jaye, not Michael Fasousi, Robert Spears, Jennings,
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: Dominic Williams on game day because they had a domestic
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: abuse situation, they failed a drug test, they got arrested
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: for you know, possession, when you you know, we would
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: lose our minds and be like Bv's lost the team.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: But then when he comes out and says, hey, man,
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: I want a better quality individual, and that's what he's
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: telling to the parents. You watch the parent interviews, you
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: want to understand that, Like when a parent's leaving their
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: kid to a program, they want to make sure that
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: the kid is still abiding by the same stuff that
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: they could have done in the house, if not better.
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: And so I'm all around.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: This because if you're going after do everything or do
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: anything like you do everything, do it with excellence. Be
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: thoughtful about why you do stuff, be thoughtful about you know,
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: how you're doing things. It's got to start off the field.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: And you know, there's another adage where it says, you
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: know you are truly who you are when nobody's watching
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: and you don't have to think of the masks. And
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: I think so many times in just humanity in general,
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: we see it on social media. It goes across so
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: many more things than even sports is so many people
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: wear so many masks. And my grandfather used to tell
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: me if you always tell the truth. You never have
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: to remember what you.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Said exactly, and that's what's most important if.
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: You live that way.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: If you live that way, then you don't have to
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: backtrack and go, well, what was it? What I'm going
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: to tell coach what I was doing on Thursday night?
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: If if it because I got in trouble. If you
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: know what your if you know what your employees are doing,
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: and that's what they are at this point. If you
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: know what your employees are doing, you know the choices
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: that you make. You can focus on coaching and getting
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: this team better and reaching a championship level because you
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: don't have to go back and go, man, I hope
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: that they're not doing X, Y Z or man, I'm
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: hoping that they're not you know, at a local uh
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: you know, local bar at one pm at night, Uh,
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: you know, smacking around somebody like you want to make
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: sure that you can be faithful and uh, you know,
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: and confident in what you're giving the players and you
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: know that they're giving it back.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: And that's what's most important, is making sure that you're
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: getting from them what you're what you expect. And BV
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: BV harps on that heavily, and we've heard, like you said,
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: we've heard the parents talk about that that's the one
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: thing their goal is to make sure that these players
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: are better people on top of being really good football players.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: And I know some fans don't care about that. They're
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: just like, look, if you give me championships, go break
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: the law and get into you know, accidents and stuff
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: all the time, you know, or you know, speed, get
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: in trouble for speeding. Like a lot of fans don't care.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: I do, personally.
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: I actually would like very much theys to be.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Good people on top of them playing ball. But you know,
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: we're you know, we're different. I would like good role
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: models because unfortunately, that's the one thing that you know,
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: kids look up to. They look up to sports figures.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: They look up to you as parents as well too,
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: but they do look up at sports figures because you know,
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: that's what you see on the television and it's cool
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: to see them on television and be excited about seeing that.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: So but no, that that thought that was pretty wild.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: That Bv's like, yeah, you know, things were not very
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: peachy to we had to do a lot of cleanup.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: And the fact that that that's what we went through
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: tells me a lot about how BV really has switched
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: up the culture, and that's what y'all wanted. Better culture,
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: better play. I mean, Lincoln gave us good wins, that's cool,
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: but yeah, you gotta have better men on the field.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: But even to go with that, though, Coop the next
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: I think the next thing that was intriguing from and
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: I don't think anybody asked about this in the presser,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: which kind of bothered me. I think I'm not backing Listen,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: I don't recall for anybody saying anything about this. But no,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: we done went to like captains. We have like captain
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: captains like we have team captains. DEAs it for the season.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: So you got your seven players here from Troy Everett,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: Grayson Halt, and Kip Lewis, John Matier, Robert Spiars, Jenny's
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: r Mason Thomas, and Dominick Williams. That's your seven captains
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: four team one point thirty one. I love the fact
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: that we just went to one one, went to just
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: captains for the season. I don't need to go into
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: the game by game now. And I understood why BV
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: did it. A lot of fans didn't like it, but
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: I got why BV did it. It made sense in
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: the context of he was trying to get everybody the
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: opportunity to be a leader and really lead outside of
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: you know, practice and lead on the field and stuff,
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: which is a good thing. Yeah, that's to me huge.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: I love that. I love that we're doing that. What
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: do you think about that part.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: Of I mean, first and foremost, I'm going to take
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: it half a step back. One thing that happened in
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: the press conference is somebody about thirty eight minutes and
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: asked about Illinois State and BV kind of chirp back.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: He's like, man, how long did it take for you
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: guys ask me a football question?
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: And I thought that was good, and he was kind
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: of awareness.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he was kind of snappy about it, and he said,
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: y'all get on to me about my long rants at
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: the beginning press conferences. And why I point out this
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: ties into the captains is in the past, when Brent
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: Vinibles was approached with questions about his flaws and his mistakes,
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: you saw him kind of want to explain it away,
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: and this one he delivered attitude. And I think that
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: going with this and going with the team captains. As
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: a set team captain's piece here is he looks at
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: him and he says, all right, we are going to
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: do things. And it all starts with you seven. It
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: starts with the quarterback, It starts with the offensive line,
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: it starts with the defensive line, and it starts with
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: people who have been around here for a while. The
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: one that I'm most excited about is Don Williams. And
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you this. Don Williams is not going to
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: have the stat sheet that's going to make people go.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, I want him on my team in the NFL,
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: But from what he does in his dependability is the
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: number one thing that sets it stands out. You know,
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: we we we lost our mind after the spring game
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: last year when we found out that he was about
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: to choose Oklahoma. He was down between US and LSU
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: and Bama and Texas, and he chose OU and he
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: came here and since then, not only has he been
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: a great leader, he stepped in as a veteran presence
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: and became a great leader on that young defensive line.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: And now you see that thing is going to be
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: one of the best units in the in the country,
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: and so very excited about Dom. Same thing with sj
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: Rsj's been here, he is now the de facto leader,
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: and he's been asked to step up. He was at
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: the SEC media days. And so you also have Grayson Halton,
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: who has always been a team favorite. Anytime we talked
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: to the defensive line recruits. J. G Baby is somebody
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: that they brought up, from Dannyakoye to Nigel Smith, you know,
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: even guys who ended up choosing other programs, they always
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: talked about G Baby because he is a he has
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: gravity to him. And so I like this because I
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: think that Brent Vivennables his attitude this year is all right,
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: I'm not a punching bag anymore.
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna do some punching. And I think that.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: This is the first first part, the first punch that
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: you throw out for the season is throwing these cats
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: up here and saying, all right, we are going to
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: rely on Dom Williams, R. Mason Jeomettier RSJ Kip, Grayson,
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: Troy Everett, and that's that's Those are the ambassadors of
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: the team, and those are the guys that are gonna
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: be walking out speaking to the officials, looking at the
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: opposition in the eyes, you know at the coin flop,
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: and I don't expect you know, any ever announcement to
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: come out, but you'll probably see some of the rotational leadership,
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: you know, giving guys an opportunity, but when you got
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: an issue with the team, these are gonna be the
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: cats that are going to be the first ones out there.
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: Speaking to the rest of the teammates.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm actually if there's only the only player that
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: I'm surprised that's not on this list that we've heard
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: really good about was for bet you. That's the only
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: player on here that I'm shocked. But BV did mention
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: that there was a the votes were in, There was
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: a ton of the votes were close. When BV talked
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: about this initially, like there was a lot of people
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: that like, there were a lot of people that the
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: players look up to because the players voted for this,
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: and I was that was the only player I was
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: actually kind of surprised that wasn't on there. He led
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: the team in snaps last year over eight hundred snaps.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: He's the only one that got over seven hundred snaps
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: last year, and he has been the definition of consistency.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: The expectation it was, you know, was that he was
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: he would The expectation truly was that for some fans
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: that they thought that he would end up losing the
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: job on the line. But for the staff, it was like, no,
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: he's one of the hardest workers and he's done everything
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: to get better. And we've seen players get better their
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: second year with Bill beatonbow that's been I mean, heck,
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: McKay mtowell was one that y'all a lot of y'all
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: I'm seeing y'all because y'all's fans, y'all weren't fond of him,
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: and he got a lot better his second year in
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: the system, and then he became a fan favorite. You know,
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: you get ejected and everything, and everybody's excited. He gets
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: a he fist bumps Joe c walking off the field
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: and y'all was just pumped. We all were pumped. Yeah,
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: but that was a good thing, was that you got that.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: I think I think that he's gonna be one that
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: is gonna really stand out a lot more than people expect.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: He'll be one of those quiet, really good players. This year,
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: Like I said, he had over eight hundred and sixty
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: four snaps. To be exact, Jesus Christ. He played all
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: the time and now all we gotta do is just
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: get you know, continue to grow and get better. So
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: anything else from the pressure that jumped out from you,
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: anything from Ben our Oh yeah, Ben our Buck was
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: gonna be like, you're gonna be on the sideline, bro.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: He gonna be on the sideline with Kouzi Eski and
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: Joe John Finley in the booth talking back and forth
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: with each other, which I am very happy about. Excited
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: about that.
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, there's so many comps to Lincoln, to linc
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: in the offensive coordinator, not the head coach. But there's
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: so many comps there, like first and foremost when he's
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: talking the amount of times and that Jay, this is
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: for us. This probably means a lot more than most people.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: But how many times after they ask ben oarpolcal question
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: did he say no, awesome question or great question? Like
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: he acknowledged it. And I'm seeing not a twenty year old,
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: twenty nine year old man who is getting a new
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: toy and you're like, please don't break it. I'm seeing
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: a guy who is building his brand. And he said
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: that he leads with his energy. He watches BV and
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: he watches his engagement and when BV brings it every day,
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: he's going to bring it every day. And when he
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: brings it every day, his staff brings it every day.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: I like the aspect of him saying I want to
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: be able to be down on the sideline because I
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: want to have more you know, right when they come
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: off the field coaching opportunities have the ability to look
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: Jeometier in the eye or Mike in the eye or
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: Whitneubauer in the eye and have conversations with him, Hey,
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: what did you see be a presence out there? And
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: you know, you look around the sec and we've seen
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: the stuff with Hugh Freeze and Jackson Arnold and a
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: lot of that is the opposite end. We've saw Hugh
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: Freese do so many yellings at peyton Thorne last year,
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: yelling at Jackson Arnolds through practice this year, and it's
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: hard to feel like that chemistry is there. But if
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: if you remember even you know Baker coming off the field,
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: Kyler coming off the field, Jalen Spencer coming off the field,
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: and I remember seeing things where Lincoln would you know,
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: have his hand on their shoulder and have them, you know,
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: eye to eye and I try to teach my daughter
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: that with her soccer coaches is when you are getting instruction,
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: they know that you're in and that you are on
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: the same page when you make that eye contact and
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: when you make that ability to listen to that hard moment.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: It's easy to high five year coach after a touchdown
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: or a long completion, it's easy to do that. But
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: after you make a mistake, and there will be mistakes
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: on offense. This offense is not going to be a
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: mistake free, but to be able to have them come
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: over to the sideline and say, Jaren, tell me this.
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: You know this is something we practice on this route.
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: You are supposed to read the linebacker. If he's inside,
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: you go outside. If he's outside, you go inside. Explain
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: to me what happened there. And there's going to be
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: a lot of that tutelage that with ben Arbuckle being
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: down on the sideline, that he is going to be
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: able to real time fix some of these issues. We're
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: up in the press box. It's the telephone game. Hey
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: can you go grab Jaren. Well, now you've got a
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: ga running down trying to find Jaren. Bring him a over. Hey,
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: put the headset on. And then Jared's watching everything else
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: go on, and he's paying attention to the field, and
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: he's worried about the fans, and he's worried about his teammates,
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: and he's trying to, you know, make it look like
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: and so there's just a lot of you know, one
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: on one intentionality. And when you were listening to Ben
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: Arbuckle to speaking this press conference, the one thing that
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: I felt was like, man, he is young, but nobody's
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: going to listen to this press conference be like that
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: guy's not a few weeks out or a few years
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: out from running his own program, because he seems to
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: have the the bones of the house are there for
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: him and now he just needs to prove it at
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: a bigger stage. And so we should enjoy Ben Arbuckle
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: because Jay, I mean, I can't say that four.
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: Years from now he's going to be at the University
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: of Oklahoma.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And that's to me. It's the kind of why
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: I said, you know, the expectations around here should be,
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: you know, prepare yourself in two years, maybe three if
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: we get lucky that somebody's gonna snatch him up, if
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: he produces the way we want him to produce. That
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: is the inevitable ending to this relationship is he's gonna
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: get heck on his job. Teams search and go after
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: offensive minded guys because offensive minded coaches always lead to
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: quick wins every time. They're guaranteed to get you quick wins,
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: so the numbers will always look great. The question is
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: do they get you and elevate you to the to
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: the championship levels where you're playing for actually playing for
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: the championship rather than getting right there to the playoffs
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: and that's it. You want to get up there more
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: than anything. So that's gonna be the biggest question is
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: how long we get to hang on to Ben Arbuckle
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: if he produces. Pretty excited about that. Let me know
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: what y'all think. Hop in the comments. We want to
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: hear your thoughts. Thank you all once again for pulling up.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: Please hit that like button if you are new to
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: the channel, subscribe rate review, give us five stars. Coop.
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: Let's wrap up preview the competition. We've got Illinois State
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: coming up this week. I am in every way, shape
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: or form excited because that means that we are here
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: for football. Baby is game week. There's a lot of
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: things to consider going into game week. This is Illinois State,
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: as we know, just kind of a background on the team,
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: just for everybody's uh, for y'all to understand, Uh, Illinois
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: State was. Let me see, they were. They went ten
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: and three last year. They were one of the better
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: teams in FCS. They are not a bad team, but
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: they're an FCS team. That's the thing I think I
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: need everybody to remember from there though, as the FCS
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: team that they are. The thing that we have to
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: keep in mind in this conversation is last year when
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: they played Iowa to start the season, Iowa beat them
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: forty to zero. Iowa doesn't score points on offense. We
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: know this, no, so i Owe won forty to zero.
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna give you my first thing. You give
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: me something next, Cooper. We'll go back and forth to
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: wrap it up. Before we talk about some SEC games.
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: I want to know what about this game that you
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: will be keeping your eyes on the one thing that
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: I will be paying attention to the most, because this
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: was the number one red flag for US last season
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: third down conversions. We actually what was it.
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: Three?
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: We were one for twelve, Yeah, last year one for
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: twelve on third down conversions last year, and that's what
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: was the red flag that jumped out to me the most.
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: I think the speed option touchdown between Tatum and Hawkins
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: was the first conversion at the end of the game.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: It was I will be paying attention to that number one.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: That is the thing that will be the biggest thing
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: that I will be watching is not only how many
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: third downs we have, how many we convert on coop?
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: What about you.
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: Again, Brent Vinimal's in the presser said, you know, this
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: is a playoff team. You know it wasn't in a
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: different tier of college football. Yes, but that means that
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: in the game that they play, they are very good at.
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: So typically when you see those situations, I think Oklahoma
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: State played, you know, the the championship winner two years ago,
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: you know, to start the center the season off for
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: the FCS. What happens is you have guys who they
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: don't have the athletic traits that a D one guy has.
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: So they may not have that first step burst, they
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: may not have that that that you know, that ceiling
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: on the pass rush, the ability to read that to
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: you know, to keep up on defense or keep up
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: of an on offense. But these guys have big bodies,
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: so I'm just looking through their defensive line. You've got
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: a three hundred and thirty five pounder sophomore out of Orlando.
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: You've got defensive you know, defensive ends who are two
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: seventy two sixty five. Another d tackle at two ninety
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: five ninety So you're going to have real, real boys,
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: real bodies. Now, the explosiveness is not going to be
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: able to match Oklahomas. So winning at the point of
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: a of attack is a really, really big thing for
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: me is you should not be losing a you know,
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: full battles in a series. Along the offensive line, along
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: the defensive line, you should not be getting stymied play
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: after play. You need to have disruptive plays. So I'm
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: looking for disruption from the lines. Is the offensive line
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: getting pushes playing past the line of scrimmage in positive yep,
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: that's something we couldn't even do against Temple or Houston
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: last year. And then on the defensive line, these got it.
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: Listen.
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: Playing is simple. You can line up a straight defensive
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: line rush and you need to have your responsibilities on
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: the edge, and then you need to have the push
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: up the middle. And I want to see that you know,
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: we're I expect this defensive line to be phenomenal and
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: there should be zero excuses. This needs to be a
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: eight plus sack type of an affair, you know, twelve
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: plus tackles for losses. So I want to see winning
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: the vast majority of battles at the line of scrimmage.
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: That's a good point. Mixed up for me though on that,
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: as you made a good point last year year to
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: start the year against Temple, we gave up one hundred
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: and ninety ninety seven yards. It was one hundred ninety
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: seven yards. That was the first time that Oklahoma had
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: given up under two hundred yards in a game. So
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: I think it was like we did that with Arkansas
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: State in twenty three, but we really hadn't did that
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: against actual FBS opponents, but Temple was that. This is FCS.
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: My expectation is this should be less than two hundred
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: yards in this game. The defense, as you mentioned about
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: the defense in the way they should play, I won
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: one hundred per am in that exact same mindset. There
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: should be a lot of sacks. But the biggest thing
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: for me is in that game we should not allow
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: more than one hundred then we shouldn't give more too.
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: Undy yards should be under one hundred under two hundred
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: yards easily. Maine got two hundred and fifty one, one
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: hundred and forty four pass, one hundred and seven rush,
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: and you could just tell that we were just kind
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: of just meth in that game to start. I want
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: that to be less. Now. Third down efficiency in that
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: game against Maine we were ten for fourteen, which was fantastic,
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: and Maine was a bad team last year. Illinois State
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: is not. We need to make sure that we get
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: more than we should. We should convert way more than
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: seventy percent of our third downs. Well, I mean the
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: yard discrepancy was six hundred and sixty five to two
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: fifty one. So that kind of happens if you do
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: a whole bunch of explosive plays constantly, Yeah, and the
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: other team never They're basically the offense gets off the
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: ball off a field quick and you quickly go score
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: right behind it. Yeah, you're gonna give us from the yards.
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: But I think in the end, for the majority of
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: this under two hundred yards is what I want out
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: of this team. Under two fifty is five, but under
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: two hundred is what I would prefer.
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: So I'm gonna stick with this again. I don't think
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: that you're not going to see offensive linemen that are
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: five eleven, you know, two hundred and thirty five pounds
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: or anything like that. They have actual competitive sized players
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: up and down the board. These guys, again, it's just
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: explosive traits. And it goes even to wide receivers and
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: defensive backs.
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: They're wide receivers.
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: I mean you've got six to two, you've got six three,
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: you've got six three, six one, six to two h
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: five eleven, So you've got decent sized wide receivers. So
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: from the defensive back position, what I want to see
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: is put yourself in the spot to make plays. So
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: for our dbs, we heard a lot of great stuff
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: coming out of them. They were covering a Kyantes Lewis
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: at six to two, they were covering an Ivan carry
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: on at sixty six. They were covering bigger REI in
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: fall camp, and they're going to have some size to
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: defend for our defensive back. So make the play in
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: front of you. Don't get your busted assignments. You know,
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: I want to see perfection at that level is we
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: should not have a bust, and you know what, if
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: there is a bust, it's a minimal situation.
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: Do we have a situation to where.
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: Maybe somebody you know takes an inside route in front
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: of a safety and you know a deep out route,
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: you know, in behind the corner. How do they communicate
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: when it comes to those things? So I want to
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: see I want to see some good stuff right there now.
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: On the opposite side. For our wide receivers, they've they've
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: still they don't have you know, a bunch of you know,
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: short people out there on their defensive backs. A lot
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: of their defensive backs are good size too. But for
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: the receivers, you're they're not staying with you. You should
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: win the speed battle without a shadow of doubt. So
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: create separation. That was the biggest thing that we saw
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: last year was the inability to get off the line
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: and create separation. And I got to think, this is
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: gonna be a well coached team and they're gonna make
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: us prove that. So get off, get out, and you know,
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: when you get the ball thrown to you make the
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: play that you can make. You don't have to be spectacular,
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: you don't have to be eighty r touchdown. You know
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: routes massive deep posts, but you know what, when you
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: run a deep in or a crosser, catch the ball.
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: That's that's what's critical. I want to see catches and
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: then let me add to that. What I want to
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: see is catches. Hey, cool, do you know where Illinois
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: State is located?
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: I would say the city.
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: I do not know where Illinois State is located. And
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: I bet you're going to make a fun conversation of it.
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think this is funny when I saw this,
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: because I was I'm trying to find their depth chart
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: because I want to put it up, but I can't
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: find it anywhere for the life of me to be
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: able to put show the graphic. They're in normal Illinois
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: normal not normal we got We're they're coming to Norman
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: from normal. That is a very fascinating nugget. I think
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: we should all. Yeah, that's a very fascinating nugget. I
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: like that. That that had me cracking up. I'm like, wait,
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: what is there?
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: Is there an abnormal Illinois or is there an odd Illinois?
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: Abnormal would be interesting if there is an abnormal Illinois.
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: H we might have to go google that and see
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: that exists. But I think normal Illinois just cracked me
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: up when I was looking for this depth chart. But lastly,
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: for me, really is that, like you said, wide receiver,
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: I only see people catch the ball. Drops are gonna happen.
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: But we're playing with a bunch of new receivers and
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: we kind of wanting to see what we have. So
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: my expectation is that we need to make sure that
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: we are making these catches and we're making the magic happen.
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: That that is what I want to see big time
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: out of them. What's the last thing that you are
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: really looking at in this game.
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: I want to see different paces from the offense. I
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: want to see a quicker paced approach from the offense.
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: And you know, I don't expect Materia to be playing listen.
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: We didn't expect Jackson arl would be out there for
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: you know, but we understood because he was a young kid.
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: But I wanted to I want to see pace. I
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: want ben Arbuckle to dial up the intensity, but I
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: also want him to slow it down. And I want
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: to play in a box. So that is going to
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: have a lot to do with guys making plays, getting
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: back to the line, going quickly, popping out, taking some
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: time and going. I want to see the running backs
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: be able to uh the offensive line to create holes
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: up the middle to create some explosive plays, and then
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: also to be able to attack the edge and create
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: some explosive plays there. I think that I want to
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: see a good balanced attack from a lot of different
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: schematic standpoints. Ben Arbuckle is very very good at creating
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: opportunities for his playmakers, and so I want to see that,
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm interested to see, you know what type
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: of r po. Listen, rpo became a became a word
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: that we want, a phrase that we wanted to avoid
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: at the end of even Gabriel to even last year,
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: because the RPOs were just not balanced. But that is
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: a staple of what Arba does and Matier is super
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: comfortable with it. So I'd like to see John Mattier
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: make some good, you know, some good choices and some
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: good decisions, because if he's able to do those things
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: and he's able to create some tempo when he wants tempo,
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: that's going to be very very good for our offense.
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: And it after last year again, tying back to the
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: press conference, what did you want to do? He said,
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: I don't want to disparage anything that happened last year
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: or speak on anything that happened last year. But he
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: preached about confidence, so I want to I want to
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: see some confidence instilled in this offense. And I usually
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: don't say stuff like this, Jay, but I want fans
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: losing their minds for the best of best at the
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: end of this season, all right, at the end of
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: this game, and I want them to start talking crazy.
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: I want people who are douters and didn't have their
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: feet in the water. By the way, if you ain't
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: in the water right now, Jay, you are looking beyond
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: the fence, and I don't want you trying to jump
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: in the pool after week six.
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: I want you in the water now.
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: It's all or nothing, to do everything like you do anything,
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: and I want to see people doing that. But I
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: want to see at the end of this game, I
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: want people to see talk people talking about materia for Heisman,
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: because that's what you need to see. You need to
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: see such a clean effort that fans can't help themselves exactly.
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: I expect y'all to be heavily in this water. All
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: let's go wrap it fire around these games to wrap
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: up this sec we got Texas at Ohio State. Not
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: gonna lie. Actually start, let's start early. We got Auburn
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: going up against Baylor. That's freaking huge. That's gonna be
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: a fun game on Friday night. I'll be watching. I'll
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: have dual screens going. I'll be watching Auburn Baylor with
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: Colorado and Joah Tech. I want to see what Prime
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: is gonna do. But how feel about this Auburn Baylor game.
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: Baylor should not be able to keep up internally on
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: the defensive line, offensive line, like that's where I think
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: Auburn has a massive advantage right there, but Baylor has
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: the I think Baylor her my opinion, Baylor has the
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: advantage from the quarterback perspective, They got an advantage from
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: the from the head coach perspective, and I would probably
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: say just coaching in general. And so I think that
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: this is probably a game to where if based off
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: everything we kind of know about the Auburn offense, I
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: think that this is a game that probably stays pretty
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: close early. But I think that the athleticism and I
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: think coaching and just a relationship between Sawyer Robinson and
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: that offense, I think Baylor gets this in the end.
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: But I don't think it's going to be a blowout.
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: I think that Auburn's you know, lines are going to
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: keep the game close for a while.
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Auburn's going to play a lot better
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: than people expect. But I am very very very very
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: very very excited to see what Baylor's gonna be this season,
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: like for real, Like Baylor is one of the teams
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: for me that I think they're gonna be the bigger
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: shock for college football. I think they're gonna be a
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: really big shocker this year, especially in a Big Twelve.
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: I think they they actually have a chance, in my
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: personal opinion, to play for the Big Twelve championship game.
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: They that's I'm just keeping it a buck. I'm not
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: gonna even pretend like I don't think Baylor's gonna be good.
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be good. There's a good chance
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: that they could win this game, and if they ended
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: with all of the returning production, all of the seniors
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: that they have. Similar to Auburn, Auburn's got a lot
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: of veteran presidents except for a quarterback. But Baylor's got
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: the veteran quarterback too, Like Sawyer, Robertson is very highly regarded.
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: I do think that this game is gonna be interesting.
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: All right, Texas and uh, let's get out of this one, Texas.
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: Why do to go big twelve sec Texas versus well, actually,
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: Syracuse and Tennessee is gonna be interesting. Tennessee is, of
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: course a thirteen a half point favorite. It is in Atlanta.
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: Fran Brown, to me, has put together a very disciplined
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: team there up in Syracuse. He's done a really good
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: job of turning things around. In my personal opinion, I
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: think Syracuse may be a little bit more of a
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: chakra in that game.
• 58:28
  Speaker 3: What you think, I'm with you now, I will say this.
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: I've seen Syracuse with some with some you know, good
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: positive feelings preseason in the past. You know, I remember
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: the Clemson game. I think it was one of the
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: games where Trevor Lawrence got hurt and and Syracuse had
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: all that offense, and the thing where where they could
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: not overcome was just the discrepancy in the athletes along
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: the line. Listen, Jay, if Syracuse gets off to a
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: hot start, Tennessee fans are going to lose their ever
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: loving minds because I think that if you create doubt
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: in Tennessee early with everything that's been going on, Jay
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: it just it could. It could be a big upset
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: at eleven am Week one. But Syracuse is going to
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: have to get out and start some things pretty quickly.
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: That's that's that's plain and simple. That's what's going to
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: have to happen. If Syracuse can't get something going on early,
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: then I think Tennessee is going to be able to
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: lean in on them. Last year they land on Dalan
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: Sampson and that defense. Uh, Sampson ain't there anymore.
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: I can't.
• 59:43
  Speaker 3: I want to.
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: I want to talk to Samson. He ain't there anymore.
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: So I think that Syracuse is a good team and
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: they're gonna make some noise in the in the ACC.
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: But they got to get off to an early and
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: good start and create some doubt in Tennessee because I
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: think that this team with Tennessee, there's a good chance
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: that they could crumble.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: Very true. I'm curious to see what Stanford's uh, I mean,
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: Syracuse's quarterback is gonna look like. Angelie is his name.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: I'm really intrigued to see what he becomes for them.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: He's gonna be He's a Notre Dame transfer. He's got
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: some experience. I'm really intrigued. He should be the starter.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: I expect him to start. Uh, he's the starter. I
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: expect him to give us something. But they did a
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: really good job. Who was at cal McCord last year.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: He was actually pretty darn good for them last year,
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: Like really good statistically. I'm here for I'm here for that.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: So they've got a lot of their entire offensive line
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: is basically transfers. At Syracuse for the most part, they
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: got a lot of transfers on defense with a lot
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: of older players. They may start a freshman corner, which
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: would be interesting. We'll see if that happens. This is
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: from our lads. But man, I forgot John day Cookie
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: is up there as Syracuse. Oh boy, it's gonna be funny.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: So I like that game. That's one to defin keep
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: my eyes on for Texas and Ohio State. What you think.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: Both of these teams. I'm gonna go out, Jay, you
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: can clip this one. Texas is number one in the
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: preseason because nobody else had faith in Penn State and
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: nobody else really took it and seized it. So somebody
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: had to be number one and That's why Texas is
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: number one. Somebody has to be there. Both of these
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: teams are replacing a lot. Texas is gonna be rolling
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: out a guy who would have been in the you
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: know as they're starting defensive tackle. Guy would have been
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: in third string at Ohio State this year, Ohio State's
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: replacing a lot of folks. I give the edge to
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: Ohio State because it's up there. I see this maybe
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: being I think that line is dead on. I think
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: that this is a field goal at the end of
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: the game, and if Texas is kicking it, there's gonna
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: be some clinching going on because kicking was an issue
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 2: for them last year. But Ohio State's going to lean
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: in on the veteran leadership of their of their defense,
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: guys like Caleb downs there. They've got receivers, every single
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: dude that's running out there red receiver. Until they prove
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: me wrong. They are the best unit in the league.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: But you're replacing both your DC and your OC. Harlin's
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 2: now going to be calling some plays. How does that
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: How does his relationship in with Ryan Day, Does Julian
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: saying rely on his playmakers? And do they keep a
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: game called to where you're just turning the ball to
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: the playmakers. You don't have a Trevion Henderson anymore at
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: the running back. So I think that this is going
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: to be a low scoring game. They over under the
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: total being at forty seven and a half. Jee, I
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: could see this being just a little bit underneath that.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: Both teams are going to be doing body blows and
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: small all jabs and kind of feeling each other out.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: So who when it's time to uh, when it's time
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: to take your you know, your your your swing. Who's
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: going to be able to land the blow at the
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: end of the game.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: So, right now, I'm going to Ohio State, and I mean,
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 2: I think it is a it is a one score game.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a close game too. I
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: think it's gonna be that one. Should be a fun game,
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: good good, good new, big you know, big new kickoff.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately for Ohio State, they in Texas. Neither one of
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: them can get away from those eleven o'clock kickoffs. So
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: glad that we're out of the Big twelve Alabama. Florida
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: State is of course one of the big boys for
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: the week in Alabama thirteen and a half point favorite
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: down at Dope Campbell Stadium. I don't like that spread.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: I think it's too high. I know that we think
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: that Florida State's dead, but I'm not gonna say that.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: I don't. I think that Norville bounces back. I think
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: their mean is in between that perfect sea and they
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: had with Jordan Travis and what happened to what happened
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: last year. I think they're in the middle there. So
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: eight seven, eight win team probably most likely. I think
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: that spreads high. I don't think Alabama covers it. I
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a lot closer. And we think
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: Florida State's done a really good job of getting trench
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: players in the portal. They've done that for years. Their
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: biggest issue last year was quarterback play and just what
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: Norvale was doing. Now they got themselves another OC, right,
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: it's gonna make it even more interesting to see exactly
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: how this offense is ran. As a former head coach,
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: you know and the most of you know, they're Florida
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: State set up. I mean, you got Squirrel White as
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: well as Deuce Robinson coming in at your wide receiver,
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: a ton of transfers on the line and quarterback. But
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: Tommy I think is ready to play at this level.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be an interesting game overall because most of
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: Florida State's defense is back and they actually had a
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: really good defense, pretty solid defense. So but I think
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: Alabama wins it. But I think it's a lot closer
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: than that number.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah. First of all, I'll say this. You know Castelano's
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: coming over from Boston College. He is just a pain
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 2: in the butt. He can do so many different things,
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: you know, he is. Once you think he got him,
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 2: he somehow scoots out. Alabama's defensive line. I think is
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: going to be able to keep him rained in. But
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: you're breaking in, you know, you're breaking in. You know
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: a good a new quarterback at Alabama with Ty Simpson,
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: you're going to have playmakers all over the place. Ryan
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: Williams wants to avoid the sophomore slump and he wants
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: to he wants to go big, and I think that
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: you've got a chance to really highlight him for not
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: only the blittan a cough, but potentially the Heisman this year.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 2: So I'm interested to see, you know what they do
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: drawing up plays for Ryan. Right from the get I
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: know that they lost the big running back. You know
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: he is going to be out for a few weeks,
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: so what does the running back rotation look like? And
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 2: you know, maybe that's probably the bigger key of the game,
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 2: Jay is you know, with a new quarterback, you want
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 2: to be able to get the ball in your playmaker's
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 2: hands and then you know take some you know space
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 2: off for the running backs using the running backs. But
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: now with Bam being out, you know that that's going
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: to be something there. Florida State needs needs to be
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: able to show something here because I think that their
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: season is going to dictate on their internal mentality. And
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: if this gets to be one of those situations Alabama
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 2: in the Nick Saban years now it's not Nick Saban anymore,
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 2: but they'd go out and play Wisconsin Week one and
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: throw out a thirty five to nothing. The fans be
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: losing their minds because they didn't score sixty, but they'd
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 2: shut down everything from you know, a less athletic team,
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: the Saint Wisconsin.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 3: It's Florida State. They've got athletes.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: So you can't have a situation where Alabama's winning this
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 2: game by twenty plus, you know, for the for the
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: sake of the psyche of the Florida State fans.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: That's true. It's a good point. Lastly, the big the
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: two big boys. To end it, it's gonna you've got
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: the biggest game to me is l s U Clemson.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: This is gonna be critical, especially for LSU who hasn't
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: won a first opening week in five years, six years.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 3: I think I think it's five years.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this would be the sixth, which isn't you know
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: a good thing. Well, at the same time, shout out
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: to LSU for playing big games every first week of
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: the season. Can't be manathing for that. That to me,
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: I can commend. You put yourself out there like that.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: It's pre darn good.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 3: Give me.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: I think Clemson does win this game though LSU spent
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: a lot of money bringing in a lot of transfers
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: and Clemson is the complete opposite. They're all homegrown kids
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: that's worked together four years, so I was kind of
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: leaning LSU to pull the upset. I think Clemson's gonna
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: end up winning this one. I think Clemson is the
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: team that because they've got all of these players that
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: have been on the same roster together as juniors, mostly juniors,
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: playing with a few sophomore Sammy Brown looks like he's
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: gonna start. Dang it. I wanted Sammy Brown so bad.
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: But their offensive line is completely veteran graduates, seniors, Like
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: I'm looking on this roster now they'll have one edge.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: It looks like it's potentially a transfer starting. He got
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: a wide receiver, but their their wide receiver room is
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: back to kind of what it was. TJ Moore, Brian
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: westco They they're they're this. This Clemson team should be
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: a problem for everybody. Gimme Clemson to win this one.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: They should cover the spread too. I think that's a
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: good thing.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 3: They got it at the house. I mean, that's that's
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 3: start one. I think that.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: First Death Valley, that's fascinating.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I think that Kate club Nick.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of people who have him very very
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 2: very highly rated in rankings returning quarterback at everything. You know,
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: his first year it was tough because I think the
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 2: wide receivers were a little bit, you know, lacking there.
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 2: So now he's got guys who've been there for a
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: little while. The game's going to be decided when the
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: Clemson d line lines up against LSU's offensive line. Jay,
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 2: let's just not you know, Bury the lead here. A
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 2: few weeks ago, LSU fans across the country were terrified
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 2: with a potential ACL tear for Nussmeyer. We find out
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 2: that he did get injured. It's a recurring thing. But
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 2: that offensive line has been an issue in fall camp,
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 2: and I'm ninety nine percent sure I can say that
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: Clemson's defensive line, their frontline guys are going to win
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: a lot of battles against the LSU offensive line. They
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: were replacing guys like Will Campbell. You know, they lost
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: a lot on the offensive line. And so if you're
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: LSU and Brian Kelly, you got to get the ball
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 2: out quick.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 3: You've got to be.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 2: Able to lean in on your running game and try
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 2: to keep Clemson off balanced, because if you let that
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 2: defensive line dictate things, not only are you going to
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 2: lose the game and probably lose it big, but you
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 2: could also lose your quarterback for the season. And you know,
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 2: start rolling to Michael Van Buren era and I promise
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 2: you that is Brian Kelly loses a big game here
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: and his hot seat is is unsuitable. So that's what
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 2: I'm feeling right here. I think it's going to be
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: Clemson and you know, I'm going to go with Clemson
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 2: by ten. I think that they're going to cover the
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: spread pretty easily, number one being you know, at home,
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 2: having the defensive line that they have. But I will
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 2: say this is if you can keep your fair share
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: of wins on the offensive line for LSU and get
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: the ball out to the playmakers, it's going to be
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: tough on Clemson. Not front seven is is is legit
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 2: for Clemson. It's it's the back, It's the back end.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: How does the back end, the safeties and the defensive
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: backs stay up with all the athletes that LSU is
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: gonna be running out of?
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 3: Receiver?
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oh my god, LS she's gonna have a whole
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: bunch of good, good receivers out there. Clemson puts out
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: some pretty good corners too, and the wide receiver room
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: for Clemson is gonna be I mean, l s u's
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: considered DBU. They've been sitt at for a bit. The
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: question is gonna be not Dallas Baptists. They considered DBU
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: defensive back university. Question is gonna be can LSU keep
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: up with those Clemson wide receivers too? There? They've got
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: some good ones. Lastly, Sarah South Carolina and Virginia Tech
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: shouts South Carolina. Uh, the running back was a faison.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: He has been he's been approved, Uh to play razul
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: a faison that's gonna remember his first thame for life
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: of me. But came from Utah State. Uh. Solid running back.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be their bell cow. He was
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: approved by the NCAAA, so he will be playing for
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: them going forward. So one of the biggest questions I
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: have for him, which he's like six foot two hundred
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: and almost twenty pounds. He's a solid back. The biggest
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: question I had for South Carolina was really running back.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: Who's gonna run the ball, because they don't have Rocket
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: Sanders outside of the North Sellers. You know, him being
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: the focal point, who's gonna catch the ball, Who's gonna
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: be that wide receiver. But my boy's been telling me
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: Maso Bennett is the one to keep our eyes on.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: I don't have any faith in vo Tech this year.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: They disappointed me. Last year. They brought back the most
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: returning production in last year, so in my mindset, I
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: expected them to be really solid last year and they
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: dropped a Dutch. So no faith in vo Tech in
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: this game. I am hardcore on South Carolina to win
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: this one, and they should easily cover that bread.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 3: I mean, face on is a guy who.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: Again you know you're you're playing at Utah State, you're
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: not seeing the quality athletes. So when you look at
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: his game logs, USC with a little bit of a
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 2: tougher defense held him somewhat in check. I mean he's
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 2: still averaged six yards of carry. Utah he averaged six
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: yards of carry. Temple he averaged five yards of carry.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 2: It looked like most of his production came from because
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 2: the offense in general was having in passing only situations.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: So I think that he is an upgrade over Rocket
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 2: Sanders this year, and that makes them a danger because
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 2: you're going to have a nice running attack. Virginia Tech
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: doesn't have the capability to shut down one side of
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 2: the ball or one aspect of the ball. This is
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: going to be a game to where you know, South
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 2: Carolina should go out kind of how ou is going
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: to go out against Illinois State like you just go out,
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: you run your stuff, you get your you get your win.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: Probably shorten the game, work on some things you know
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 2: from the passing game, but you're gonna lean in on
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 2: the running game.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 3: You're gonna lean in.
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: The fact on sellers in Faison are probably gonna be
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 2: guys that are going to have a bulk.
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 3: I would I would. I would say, if you're South.
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 2: Carolina, your goal is to rush the ball for three
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 2: fifty plus like that. That's your goal for the game.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 2: And I don't think that they're going to be able
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 2: to keep stacked up. You know, Virginia Tech, that is,
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 2: but it's in Atlanta, Virginia Tech. Early in the season. Man,
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 2: they either throw out a dut or a miracle, and
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: so don't be surprised if Virginia Tech stays close for
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 2: a little while. But I just think that South Carolina,
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 2: South Carolina leans on them and just runs the ball
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: early often and then does it again.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty solids. That kind of the exactly thing,
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: right that. There's not much else to really say in
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: a game. South Carolina should give us exactly what we
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: were expecting in that game. If they drop that one, though, dog,
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: it's that that seasons done. I'm just gonna say that there.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: They lose that game, South Carolina, season is done. I
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: don't expect them to lose it, So don't don't take
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: that as me saying it. I'm just selling you. If
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: they lose that game, season's over all. Right, we're out.
