• 2:29
  Speaker 1: which not everyone did take care of business. There were
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: some I raising results. The Notre Dame one is just
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: is that the case study and classic definition of on
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: any given Saturday, something unexpected can happen if you're not
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: ready to play college football.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: I mean, there's flat spots every week. The other the
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: other team has players. I know this may surprise you.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: The other team has players too. And you know, Brad,
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: you get a gain into the second half and it's
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: a close game and the other team now didn't listen
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: to everybody that says you can't win, and the team
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: that's supposed to win gets a little tight. Guess what
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: happens and then you turn the ball over you get
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: picked sixes. I mean, yeah, stuff happens. Stuff happens. That's
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: why we watch it, and that's why we listen, and

• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Working on this story right now, don't have a confirmed
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: probably won't until the game preview gets recorded on Thursday.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: Believe that the Mountaineer football team is taking Lou Wendell
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: pontoons up the Mononga Halo River this week to get
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: up to Pittsburgh. Straight shot. It is just right up north.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: You can just get through there. So once trying to
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: figure out I think some locking damn situations, and once
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: they get that, they'll be on Lou Wendel Marine Sales
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: going up to Akrascher Stadium.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Well, listen, boats were good to the mountain Air football
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: team and recruiting. They were out there this summer when
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: they had people recruiting, so they've been very big into boats.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Three guys also putting. Yeah, three guys brought to us
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: by Tutors, Biscuit World starts your day the home made
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: way Tutors Biscuit World and by Conley's CPA Group, providing
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: value beyond numbers hop.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: You're right.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Let down spots are a real thing. Yes, That's why
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: we spend time talking about it that matters, and I
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: think sometimes that gets overlooked that it's these are guys
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: that have Notre Dame, go on the road, get a
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: massive win against Texas A and M. They come back,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: They've got Northern Illinois. They're going through the way, no
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: matter what the coaches are saying, Hey, they've got players,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: they're gonna do that. Okay, yea, I try to think
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: so I'll do respect, Northern nomal all do respect. We've
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: got them more fine.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they weren't fine.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Now Penn State faced something similar. Yes, you know, let
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: down spot for them in terms of there was a
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: lot going on around this game for Penn State, right,
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: some of that that that got their guys though. They
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: came out and slothed through the first half right there.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: So they eventually their defense kicked it in and figured
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: out who they were.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: Or not not as big a one because they were
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: on the road, but still Kansas, like everybody saw the Kansas, Kansas, Kansas, Kansas.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: I guess what you know, Illinois beats them well. And
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: in that game, what happens, Brad, when you commit three turnovers?
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Three turnovers, you got a problem. When one of them
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: turns into a touchdown, you got a real problem. Jaylen Daniels.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Three picks when one was pick six ballgame, you lose.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: You know, it's a stunning stat. Not that we're here
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: to talk about Illinois Kansas, but you know, it's a
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: stunning stat. You would think if Illinois was going to
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: be Kansas, it was going to be because coach Beelama's
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: team was going to pound them, just make chuck roast
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: out of them, ground them down, didn't run the ball
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: ran for less than one hundred yards.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: But anyway, turnovers in a defensive touchdown.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Yep, Yeah, we'll get into that all right. We haven't
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: chatted yet about the contest. Hoppy takeaways from the Mountaineers victory.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: The story is as old as time, and that is
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: think of a movie, think of a book where you
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: have a hero and the hero starts out and everything
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: is wonderful, and you identify and you with the hero,
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: and everything is all good. And then the hero faces
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: some adversity and they overcome the adversity and they prevail
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: and always right with the world. Now, was so this
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: this game went a kind of according to script. West
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: Virginia comes out big lead early. Maybe they have a
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: tat of a letdown, and then they face adversity and
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: you already starts throwing the ball down the field. Briquette
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: turns out to have a really good game, and you
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: reach this critical juncture. I don't think the game was
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: ever in doubt, really, but you do reach a critical
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: juncture where there within a yard of making it a
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: twenty eight twenty one game, making it a game, and
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: then West Virginia plays defense, makes plays noting on yards
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: down the field, and then the game sort of goes
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: the rest of the way according to according to script.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: So that's one macro. No Brad will have some breakdown
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: on that. And it was just it was a lot
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: of positives. I mean, the crowd was not a sellout,
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: but it was a good crowd. It was a beautiful day.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: We saw Garrett Green look like Garrett Green. We saw
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: the offensive line and running backs just absolutely dominate the
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: defensive line. I look good at linebackers, outstanding play for
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: the linebackers. You do have concerns on the defensive backfield,
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: and Neil Brown spoke to that after the game and
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: stead they have to do a better job playing the
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: ball in the air. And you saw some examples of that,
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: so a lot of positives got to win. It's nice
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: to win, it's not easy to win, as we saw
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: yesterday across the country.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: So a lot of positives.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: But again that defensive Mackfield, there are concerns there going
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: into a very difficult part of your schedule.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Senator, Well, nothing to add.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: He just fill a buster through every position group there.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: So thank you, Hoppy, Hoppy got it. Well, I did
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: the macro, you got the micro.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: I think West Virginia you're right hot. The game was
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: never in death. There was no chance that you Albany
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: defense was ever going to stop West Virginia. They just
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: did absolutely whatever they wanted. So take that side of
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: the ball first. I thought that group did exactly what
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: we talked about in the preview episode is go out,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: get your timing right, mash a team that you're better
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: than run it. If you want to run it, throw
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: it when you want to throw it, do whatever you want.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: And they did.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: And I think you're right on Garrett. I mean he
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: was he looked like Garrett. The thing about him, I
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: was trying to watch him with a little more critical
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: eye because you figured he was going to do whatever.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: So a couple things. He took off a few times, right,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: which is when he's at his best. They got very
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: little pressure on West Virginia, but one time when they did,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: he just sidestepped the defender and took off. Looked like
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: it was just a practice. Rep went out picked up
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: nine yards. That's when he's at his best. But what
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: impressed me yesterday with him and a lot of this was,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: I'm sure because the offensive line once again, and we'll
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: get into this, another really good performance. I know you
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: would expect them to have a good performance, but they did.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Garrett's pocket was clean almost all night. But he Garrett
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: looked really comfortable in the pocket as a drop back passers.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: He wasn't moving his feet, he wasn't looking to get out.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: He just dropped back like okay, I got it, and
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: took some shots downfield underneath. I thought some of the
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: stows underneath were very good. So when six is good,
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: you will have a chance to win games. So there's
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: you want me to do a macro hot, there's a macro.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: When six is good, you're going to be in games.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: And he was elite in this game. Running game was outstanding.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Two backs go over one hundred yards. C j Jehem
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: White could have ran for four hundred had they had
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: some more plays. Western Indias didn't get a ton of
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: offensive plays, just marched down the field and did whatever
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: you wanted. Offensively, we'll get into the defense. A couple
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: bright spots. Defensively, the pass rush was better, and again
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: it should be. But if you all been he had
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: a strength that was going to be their offensive line.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Sean Martin in particular TJ. Jackson for the second week
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: in a row. I thought Jackson showed up. He looked
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: really good. We'll get to Martin a little bit later.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: And yeah, what you said is what everybody saw. Coverage
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: and defensive backs performance is going to be an issue
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: and they've got to get that fixed because this next
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: six games is where your season is made or broken.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: So that's the part you got to clean up. And
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: I know we'll drill down in each of these areas.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I agree with all with all of that,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: And I think as you said, like your first two games,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: you get a you get a good feel as to
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: where you are, and now this is going to be
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: an extremely enjoyable, fun week for another big build up.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Right two are your first three games are going to
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: have these really big build ups. The fact that pitt
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: won late at Cincinnati also adds to it. So now
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: they're two and zero, and obviously you go back in
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: history and the last time West Virginia was up at Pittsburgh,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: it was there right on paper, you should be going
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: up there to get a third consecutive win over the Panthers.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: And I think that that for those guys, and there
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: are a lot of those guys that are still on
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: this team, they remember that great, they remember that. And
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: on the other side, you could say for Pitt Hey,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: they also did not have the day they wanted here
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: last year. So it sets up really nice.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: And Pitt has Pit's going to come to that game
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: with confidence because they were out of that Cincinnati game,
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: out of it twenty six six, is that right? Br
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty one six and and came back in the
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: second half, I mean, was a different team in the
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: second half and won a game.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: You know, last night was also what you normally see
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: you get. You know, you played two preseason games this year,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: so usually second preseason game in some of your starters,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: you get a bunch of guys in So what you
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: have question preseason two preseason games. You open with Penn
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: State in a preseason, tough preseason game, but you get
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: your first week of reps in there. You were just
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: coming out of practice. I don't know if you had
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: any those joint practices like sometimes see. And you go
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: into your second preseason game where you're trying to taper
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: down a little bit of respect to you all, but
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: he taper down a little bit, and you want to
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: get a bunch of your players in. So you did that.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: So I think you learned some things in a win
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: and a loss in the preseason, one and one in
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: the preseason. One on one in the preseason, you wipe
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: the slate clean. Now you begin your schedule. Yeah, with six,
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: six big games. This will be fun this week. I'm
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: looking forward to this. I still have questions about who
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Pitt is right now. Last year, go back to this.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Their offense was putrid, putrid, sorry to give you bullets
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: and boarded material. Pit Panther fans are gonna lose their
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: mind when I say it was not good. And West
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Virginia's defense dominated that pit offense. West Virginia's defense won
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: that game as Garrett Green.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Went out right.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Credit Nico Markiel for being able to come in and
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: do enough to get that win, and then Neil went
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: conservative and let that defense win the game. This will
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: be different this This version of Pitt has come out
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: throwing the ball all over you. Th Holstein's gone over
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: three hundred yards both games. So I'll have to see
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: now ponent adjusted a little bit. Kent State won one
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: game last year. Kent State just lost to Saint Francis yesterday. Yeah,
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: so we'll say little ponent adjusted for them as well.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Just overall fun week, oh yeah, yeah, fun ways right,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: press conferences are coming up tomorrow, so you know, coaching
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: ar Doozye will have his press conference. Invariably someone will
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: read between the lines if there was anything to be read,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: and they'll find something and they'll fan that fire all
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: week long and so that'll build up and they're always
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: it is because it's Pitt West Virginia.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: So but you know, this stuff's supposed to be fun.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah right, I talked about that this summer tone. You're
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: allowed to have fun around this stuff. I don't know
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: if that's commonly held theme. Are you get a fun hup?
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: You absolutely last time was fun. You don't have to
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: apologize it played to you, Albany. You just that was fun.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: You do what you're supposed to do.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: We enjoy the game.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: There talking about enjoyed the game. This will be a
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: fun week too. I love this game on the schedule.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: We've talked many times about West Virginia schedule, the need
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: to get out of the two power fives because it's
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: it's just unlike anybody else in the country is doing
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: this game. I'm glad is on the schedule, and I'm
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: glad it is pitweek. This is college football, right As
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: much as everybody nationally wants to tell you about the
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: SEC and the Big Ten and nobody else exists, this
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: is why there are other teams outside of those leagues
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: that you should be talking about. That's why this will
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: be an environment that is really good right nationally. You
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: can't say anything's good outside the SEC or Michigan, Ohio State.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: This is one of the very best atmospheres and rivalries
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: in college sports, full stop.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why that the schedule, if you could just
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: make it the way you want, it would have every
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: year you would either play Pitt Or you'd play Pitt
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: or Maryland or Virginia Tech, maybe Penn State, you.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Know one of those schools. Should you have this Syracuse,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: I don't care.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: One of these rivalries with would be great, and then
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: two non power for opponents.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Now I might be fine if it was just Pitt.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: Quite frankly, there is some that I do like seeing
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: some of these other teams. But if you told me
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: you were only playing one and it had to be Pitt,
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: I'd be a god.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: What were we watching yesterday?
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: The great atmosphere of Iowa Iowa State, right, I mean
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: just a great atmosphere, a great game. That game has value.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: So you're right that game should be played too. Yeah, absolutely,
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: that game should not go away. So Pitt West virgin
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: doing the same thing. How about the ending of that
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: one walk on kicker for Iowa State banks a four
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: or four yarder and it was set up by an
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: unbelievably poised rock O Beck in the pocket against a
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: very good Iowa defense, hitting a big play down the
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: sideline that got them into field goal range. That's a
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: that's a that's a really good win for Iowa State.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: That's a nice win for the league. An unranked Iowa
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: State team on the road against a ranked Iowa team.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: That was a good day. For the Big Twelve yesterday,
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: And we talked about that going into the week, that
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: it was going to be important for the national narrative
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: because a lot of national folks would have loved to
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: jump on the Big Twelve yesterday had they lost a
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: bunch of those games. Overall, played pretty well. Kansas State
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: with a good good win, had a good two lane
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: team that was nice. Oklahoma State found a way to
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: win against an SEC Arkansas team. So overall, good day
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: for the Big Twelve.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: By the way, that kick, that kick would have been
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: good from sixty four.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: He hammered that he crushed it. Yeah, you really think
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: the league? You think the league had a good day.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: In terms of wins, Yeah, wins and losses. BYU won
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: on front of the UYU beat SMU. A lot of
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: people loved SMU before.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I was just looking at it. So Utah
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Baylor twenty three to twelve.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: It's a good non conference win for Utah. That game
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: wasn't a conference.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Correct, I know, and in case State Arizona State won't
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: be either coming up right. Yeah, But Houston that was
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: a while the way they played Oklahoma.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Willy Fritz is gonna get it turned around. I think
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: the league would have been better off if Houston stayed
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: bad like they were, rather than getting a gutten knows
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: what he's doing.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Okay Oaks State beats Arkansas. That was a lot of
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: futility going on. Both teams miss field goals in the
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: first overtime. Forget about how the state snuck out of
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: New Orleans, Illinois. Illinois beating Illinois beating.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: To Lane's pretty good. That's where Willy Fritz came from.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: They've been good. They probably win that AAC. That'll end
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: up by the end of the air being a nice win.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Illinoi's beating Kansas. If Kansas is going to be all
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: that in the bag at chips, that's one they got
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: to go get.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there's questions about Kansas. They It's interesting
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: how public perception goes. People like to snicker and laugh
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: and giggle and hahat Kansas for years and years and years,
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: right then all of a sudden they become the darling.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Now Illinois rushes the field for a win over Kansas.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: I've read that. WHOA, how times have changed. Cincinnata loses
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: the lead and loses the game to pay twenty eight,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: twenty seven UCF Sam Houston destroyed them. Did you see
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: the running numbers on UCGE.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: So they ran for five hundred in their first game too.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: That's that they're not They an't playing anybody yet.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: Uh, Nebraska beating Colorado, so that was kind of expected, right.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: How about the Washington State Texas Tech and that ain't
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: really now that one went good. That was real good.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: And then Arizona State. That's a nice one over Mississippi.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: So I've watched them a couple times now that you know,
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: everybody just passed them off. They were the team picked
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: last in the Big Twelve this year and everybody just
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: wrote them off. Offensively, they do some things. They got
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: some skill guys.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: How about this cat for them, Cam Scatterbo. You seen
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: his running back. He ran for two thousand yards yesterday.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: That's a long day hobby. Yeah, ran for what? Now,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: he ran for two thousand yards yesterday. No, actually he
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: ran for two sixty let me see here. Yeah, he
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: ran for two sixty two last night. Well you were sleeping.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: He ran for two sixty two. He averaged eight yards
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: of he carried it thirty three times. That's nineteen that's
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: nineteen seventy eight. Football right there. He carried it thirty
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: three times anyway, So that's what we got. All right,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: let's move on. You ready for your ready to do it? Yeah?
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: I think we'll do. You want to put a preface
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: in front of these numbers because we're recording so early.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so some of these this may be I'm going
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: to jump around a little bit with the quick turnaround
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: from last night's game into the early recording this morning.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: So they're not all they haven't matured yet. All the
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: numbers haven't matured. But we'll go through it.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: What does that.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: Mean, Well, they'll they'll shift and change. So some of
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: the PFF grading that we'll go through today will shift
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: as they watched the game a second third time and
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: get some more data in there. But we'll go through
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: what the early reports were.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: All right, what do you say we do this thing?
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Hit the music, maestro, I check the numbers. I'll just
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: go right to the numbers. Comes here. Let's jump into
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: the analytics worship. It goes without saying, but I'll say it.
• 18:58

• 19:01

  Speaker 1: Go Conley CPA Group. All right, early numbers, Say what.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Let's first just look at some numbers from the game
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: overall that stood out. This was a complete change from
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: the Penn State game. When we talked about Penn State
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: averaging eight yards per play on first down, West Virginia
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: in that three range. Yesterday, West Virginia average ten point
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: two yards per play on first down.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: That's healthy. That good hops, Yeah, it's healthy.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Are you in good shape if you're averaging a first
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: down every first down?
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: To think they call that when football? Yeah, it's pretty good.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: We're gonna get into the West Virginia defense. And I
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: know everybody's losing their mind about coverage and the big
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: plays by Albany, but overall, I thought I found this interesting.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: Albany's offensive success rate, which is defined just overall, not past,
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: not run, just successful plays that the offense has. In fact,
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: I'll give you the exact definition here.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: You with me, Yeah, all right, So this is the
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: success rate offensive success rates.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: It's defined as the percentage of successful plays based on
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: yards needed adjusted for down.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, So for.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Example, a two yard gain means something different on first down,
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: two yards is not successful on third and one, Yes,
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: two yards is a successful play, got it? If you
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: are below forty when I'm about to read you, if
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: you're below forty percent, that's below average. Okay, below forty
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: got youa West Virginia held you Albany to twenty percent
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: offensive six access rate.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: That has to be But that's impacted by which I
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: know you're going to get into the run defense, right,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: I mean they just couldn't run, correct.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, point being overall, Albany had a few of those
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: big plays and too many that the staff is not
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: going to be excited about. But overall, you absolutely just
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: decimated them. They couldn't run the football on you. You
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: got some pressure. So I thought that again, one of
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: those numbers everybody walks out of that game going bananas
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: that the defense is no good. Overall, the defense was
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: really good yesterday. It's the passing big plays were the concern.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: So at twenty percent offensive success rate for Albany, back
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: to West Range offense for a second. They had thirty
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: one first downs in the game, thirty one. It's the
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: sixth time Underneil that West Virginia has had thirty plus
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: first downs, like the fourth or fifth most since two
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: thousand and two.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: The offense was clicking, if you get twenty five, then
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: you're in really really good shape. So they get thirty one.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: What was thirty one first downs out of fifty eight plays.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: That's good, So.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: Now do that. So not only did you get over
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: your twenty five, thirty one out of five fifty eight,
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: so well above fifty percent of your plays went for
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: first downs. So we just said you averaged ten just
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: on first down. So some really good offensive numbers. The
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: offense looked exactly like we thought it would and how
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: it should look against Albany.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: It was.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: It was dialed in and ready to go. The big
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: plays were the kind of the story on both sides
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: that's defined for this this stat as runs of ten
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: yards or more, passes of fifteen yards or more. West
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Virginia had a ton eighteen of those that racked up
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: three hundred and ninety yards of total offense just again
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: did whatever it wanted. Albany ten of those such plays
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: that went for two hundred and sixty seven total yards,
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: and again most of those came through the air.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: I don't mean to interrupt, Okay, interrupt. You have the
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: success rate for wvu's offense, yes, standby, because he said
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: theirs was in the twenties. I would be interested because
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: I bet it's got to be high. Right, you got
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: thirty one first downs on fifty eight snaps.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, above fifty percent is above average. You've had an
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: above average game if you're over fifty percent. Yeah, fifty
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: five percent.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well you scored seven out of your nine drives.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: That makes sense. Sure, I'm sorry. You go back to
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: your pre programmed and you were you were you were
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: going to score.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: We're happy to field questions here, and you would have
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: scored more though the You know, if there was one
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: concern offensively, if I'm going to nitpick, it's obviously the
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: turnover the fumble by Jaheim White after a thirty six
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: yard run.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately, it likely would have.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: Ended in another touchdown drive there so some fortune just
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: fighting for extra yardage and got the ball stripped away
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: from it.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: They turned them into a top and they spun them.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Had They did a great job defensively to spin them
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: around and root that ball out. Nice job. Okay, what
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: it we else? You want to know? Individual grade? They sit? Yeah,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: again early, this is early Hoppy. You got election coming
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: up in November. This is early Polly. This is early
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Polly exit po. This will this will change as the
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: as the days go on, as far as the grades go.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: But what do you have Initially, let's just let's play
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: a guessing game. Who do you think was the highest
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: graded Mountaineer defender and let me qualify the actual number one.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: But he unfortunately played eight snaps and according to Neil
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: and postgame, he's going to be out for a few weeks.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: Eddie V was just only only got those eight snaps
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: in and then had to exit due to injury. That's
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: that's a concern that we'll talk about in the preview
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: coming up with him.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: That was a lower leg and he already had had
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: an MRI by the time the game was over and
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Neil said, that looks like a couple of weeks. I
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: don't know if it's a knee, if it's a shin,
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: what it is, but it was a lower leg. Hate
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: to see that, man, Hate to see.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, for a guy that's worked so hard to make
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: himself a better football player to get in the position
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: that he was of starting, and you need him. You're
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: just going to need some defensive line because as we
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: talk about coverage and how much better the coverage is
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: going to get, the defensive line pays a big factor
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: in that in terms of ability to get pressure. So
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: he was he was the gun. He was number one,
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: but it was only eight snaps, so I usually take
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: that out. I mean, if you're not playing a regular
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: or at least half of the snaps, you kind of
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: kind of move along on the grades. Who do you
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: have his number one?
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: Yes, Anthony Wilson, Anthony Wilson or Carrico Not Anthony Wilson.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: Kario is the answer. And again shift a little bit.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: Carrico ended up as the highest graded defender coming out
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: of the Penn State game as well, which is which
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: is really interesting from this standpoint. You didn't hear a
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: lot about him early in camp, and then kind of
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: at the end you started making some plays and then
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: the the first couple of games you see him thirty
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: five shows up.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: He hit that one kid late in the second half.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: That was an explosion.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he played well again, So that's encouraging. And we
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: talked about it all summer, thinking the linebacker position had
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: the most depth that it's had, certainly under Neil and
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: maybe going back before that. You just have a bunch
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: of guys that can play well. Neil Brown says that, yeah,
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: Ben Cutters, a guy that's coming in to fill you
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: for depth started. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Kariko also hopy had
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: my favorite play of the game. He ended up on
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: the on the ground with the U all but the
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: offensive lineman that just laid on top of him and
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: wouldn't get off, wouldn't get off. Karaka said, was that right?
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Is that right?
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: Just gonna lay on me? Here's I'm gonna do. Just
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: did a full push up with an offensive lineman on
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: his back. Just did a full push up. Guy got
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: off and like, get out of here, get off and
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: quit laying on people. A play that doesn't show up
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: in the stats, but not a spot I don't have
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: a spot for a number of push ups done with
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: an offensive lineman on your back, but Karaco leads the
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: country in that stat.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: I believe you know, before he played his first snap here,
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: people would come to me from up in the Northern
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: Panhandle that had seen him during his high school days,
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: and they said, I'm just telling you, this kid's the deal.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: This kid's a dude. You're gonna love this kid. And yeah,
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: he's really making an impact.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: Top one hundred kid, four star, went to Ohio State,
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: so he's yeah, he's playing. Well, that's that's a good sign,
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: all right, next highest graded player.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: Hint.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: I've already mentioned him in today's Cutter broadcast. Cutter, No,
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: not cutter.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Defensive lineman, a defensive line Jackson, Yeah, t J Jackson.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Second game, Yeah, make place.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah he did, and you saw me yesterday.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: He just was.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: He was quicker and stronger than the guys across from him,
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: so he did a nice job getting there. He was
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: credited with the tide for the most and again this
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: is one of those stats. Back up what you saw.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: The two guys with the most pressure stats according to PFF.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: As we sit here twelve hours after the game has
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: ended Martin and Jackson with six apiece, so really good.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: West Virginia credited with twenty five total pressures on the day,
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: three sacks, so they were they were forcing Burkette out
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: of the pocket a lot. Now, Burkett made some plays
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: did when he got out of the pocket, but credit
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: the defensive line and the linebackers for getting in there
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: and making that uncomfortable.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Speaking of Burkette, I was impressed by him absolutely, because
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: he did not have a great game in their opener
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: against lu and then he obviously had an extremely shaky start.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: So most guys break at that point, right, and you'd
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: expect he's going to start throwing worm burners out there
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: around the field. Credit that kid, man. He was a
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: highly I mean highly accomplished kid in the state of Wisconsin.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: He was their player of the year, threw for over
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: six thousand yards seventy touchdowns as a high school kid,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: just couldn't get on the field at Wisconsin. Chris Herring
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: was at Wisconsin when they recruited him as an assistant coach.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: He's now with US as a special team's consultant, and
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: he was raving about the kid before the game, saying
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: he's a great kid, and he's a good player, and
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: the kid made plays.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: He and our favorite name slash number combination of the
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: seven McGee seven McGee was as advertised. He was really
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: good as well. Luckily for West Virginia. He had some
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: cramping issues, had some hydration. Yeah, exactly, so he four
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: catches ninety yards for him in limited action. But that
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: was a problem combination for what was that one catch
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: he made where, well, the one in the to open
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: the second half. Yeah, defend, that was great coverage that ball.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: You couldn't have run the ball out and handed it
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: to the gee in any better spot.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: Totally agree with your great pass, great catch thump, just
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: an absolute through the eye of a needle. It was
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: a while. Don't want to keep this in mind. People don't,
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: people won't respel, say the kids playing at all. But
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: Ei da da da da. I mean that kid was
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: one of the top players in the nation coming out
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: of high school. Went to Oregon, then went to Jackson
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: State because of Dion. Dion left then he leaves Jackson State.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: But that dude's got like credentials and he.
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: Was pretty there were there were you know, we talked
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: about the d backs but there were I don't know
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: how many times, Tony four or five times in that
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: game where you just watch the play and you go.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: Wow, that was a really good pitching catch. I don't
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: care who what team you're on.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: That was just a really good play by the quarterback
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: and the receivers.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: We'll get it, We'll get into past defense here.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: And just well let's let's talk about it now, because
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: the coverage grade is your concern, and again that just
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: backs up what you saw out there. What Neil said
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: in the post game. Didn't think the defensive backs were
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: playing fast enough at times and just too open, right,
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: just simply if you want to break it down, don't
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: need to masters in defensive strategies. There's just too much
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: room for those guys. Coverage grade coming out of Penn
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: State a fifty one point one, obviously not great coverage
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: grade coming out of the U Allbany game fifty two,
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: so not really any better in that second game coming out,
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: pass rush did improve quite a bit, went from a
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: fifty two grade to a sixty four and a half,
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: which you would expect. But the coverage grade, that's going
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: to be the question, guys, that's going to be in
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: a night when really everything worked for you and you
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: did pretty much everything well. I thought that was the
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: glaring part of that was was just coverage all around.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: And that's not to point fingers just at cornerbacks. I
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: think that whole I'm not breaking them the ground here.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: The whole coverage unit has to get better quickly because
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: Pitt's going to test you.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and Jordan Leslie talked about it. Did you hear
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: his postgame? He talked about it, you know, pretty much
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: in detail into just paraphrase. What he said is but acknowledge, Yeah,
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: very very bad. But he said we were all so
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: extremely base what we were doing, and we weren't going
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: to do a whole lot of exotic things right this week.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: Maybe obviously they're holding some stuff in different packages and
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: things like that for next week, and they felt that, Okay,
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: if you do your job, just play these guys pretty base,
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: you'd be all right. But they didn't. They didn't do that,
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: so it probably I guess what I'm saying is it's
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: somewhere in the middle. It wasn't as bad probably as
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: you think. It certainly isn't as good as we would
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: hope it to be. It's somewhere in the middle. You're
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: gonna find out where your middle is next Saturday. Because
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: the old Panthers. They threw for three hundred and two
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: yards and three tds at Cincinnata.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it did the first week two again, opponent adjusted
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: for Kent State for them, But that's what they They
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: did a lot of things just today. They ran the
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: ball really well against Cincinnata as well. But they're gonna
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: throw the ball. Eli Holstein, right, Alabama guy, he's gonna
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: come in. They're gonna throw the football. That's got to
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: get better.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: They ran for one ninety six, they averaged six yards
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: of carry. Yeah, that was all one guy for the
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: most part. Yeah, Desmond Reid. And remember this cat can
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: out of mumfield. He went five for one to twenty three.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: He big played him. Yeah.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a that's a bad We'll see Cincinnati later
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: in the year.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: Two. That's a bad, bad loss for Cincinnati. That's a
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: bad lost. Bad one.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: Had one at home. You're dominating them. That's a team
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: that was probably a little bit fragile anyway, given their
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: last year. They needed that win. They did not get that.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: So keep an eye on Cincinnatus psyche as they moved through.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: What do they have.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: That's a that's a hard loss for them.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: I was listening to the radio broadcast in the first half,
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: and they were feeling good about it because they knew
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: how badly they needed it. That's a deflator. That's a
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: that's a massive deflator for the program, in the sense
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: that there was one you needed to get and it
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: didn't it and it was there, and it was there
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, another couple of other things
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: happened on the bad side these how this is how
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: the you know, those kinds of these kinds of seasons
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: start like boom boom boom.
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: We'll all kick it up. I'll due respect, I'll due respect.
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: I'm okay with that, because because you need some, you
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: need a little, you need a little, a little that
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: on your schedule.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: Doubt Baylor struggled for a while yesterday. I hope that
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: they stay struggling. Texas Tech, right, you mentioned them, Tony earlier.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: Hope they stay struggling. I mean, again, we like our
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: friends in the broadcast business at all those schools, But
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: by god, I hope your team's bad.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: It's Texas Tech. Just be bad.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: Texas Texas helps you up off the mat.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: No one. When you're laying on the mat, no one
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: comes and says, how you're doing? Can I give your hand? Ever?
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: No one? Roundly right, didn't wait a minute?
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: Didn't we get a lot of support from all the
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: other schools from West Virginia lost to Penn State. Weren't
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: all the other schools didn't they send condolences to West Virginia?
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Did that happen? Got get yourself up off the mat? Sorry? Sorry,
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: stay bad? No I do. I mean you need bad teams.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: You need bad teams, right, you need I mean you
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: want to look ahead after week two? You need Texas
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: Tech to be in such a deplorable state when Thanksgiving
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: weekend comes and you go to Lubbock that there is
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: twenty two thousand people in the stands, it's cold, wendy,
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: and they're bummed out, don't want to be there. That's Junia.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: You got to start.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: I'll get some of that, because I don't think you're
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: getting a lot of that over the next six weeks. No,
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: I think. I mean, if you're getting a lot. To
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: take the point out and flip it, there's a lot
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: of three minus three plus three lines that are going
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: to be hung over the next six weeks here real
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: quick on defenses, as we're going to focus on that,
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: I realized because the offense, there's just not much other
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: to say other than they were fantastic. The Sean Martin
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: emergence yesterday again was encouraging to see. And the question
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: just now is with he and Jackson in particular, can
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: you pick that performance up and how many times can
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: you replicate it? Tony at a few points yesterday you
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: all been he had to to devote a second offensive
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: lineman or a tight end or a back into worrying
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: about Sean Martin getting through there. That to me is
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: just a if you want to just base key to
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: this defense hobby. If Shawn Martin's a guy where you've
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: got to put two guys over and worry about him,
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: now you really open up some other things. And that
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: that happened yesterday so good to see. And hopefully Shawn's
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: in a position where that can be replicated moving forward.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: All that stacking, he needs to stack a couple of
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: those performances.
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: He I mean, he's your NFL guy, He's your NFL
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: guy up front. That's a guy that will be playing
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: on Sundays. If he continues to put forth performances like that,
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: that changes that defense significantly if he gives you that.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: You know, also Asani Redwood, Hammond Russell starting to give
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: you some really good quality depth. The Torma Malba, you know,
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: the the always underappreciated noseguard. He's in there, he's battling,
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: he's rooting things out there. They also had the true
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: freshman Kinsler out there early in the game, which is
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: a pretty good sign when you're that young and you're
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: getting some snaps for things to come. Nate Gabriel, Oh,
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: Gabriely early as well. Yeah, Redwood made the postgame b
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: m I oh did he? Yeah? How about that? Yeah,
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: that's good, that's good.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: Any other questions. That's kind of the highlights. M.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: I thought kick coverage was good. They let the one
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: get out a bit out to the thirty one one
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: yard line the last time. But other than that, you
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: had that one kick that going out of bounds, right fine,
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: But I thought their coverage down field was good.
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: Brown said the kick out of bounds was a wind
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: adjusted issue, and Hayes over adjusted for the wind.
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: Interesting, yeah, because they're trying to place it down on
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: that left side number and said he just kind of
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: hooked a little bit trying to play the wind. But
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: he also Neil said afterwards that you know they kickoff
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: coverage is really the only area of Special Teams that
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: needed a big improvement from last year. If everything else
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: stayed the same, all the other units, you would take that.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: He feels a lot better about kick coverage because of
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: the speed. They've just added speed guys on that unit,
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: which is getting you further down to cover one special teams.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: Not as you mentioned, our guy Oliver Straw did get
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: in beautiful forty six yard punt.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: I turned that poor buddy. I mean, I think witness
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: protection program for him. They only let him go out
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: there once. I mean his family's in from Australia. The
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: uncle was here. I mean you chatted with his uncle.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: Will talk more about that coming up. He only gets
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: to kick it once.
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: I did, but real real quick on his family, they
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: totally got it. We talked about that, said you walked Friday,
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: hopefully we won't see all he played too much. You
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: guys okay with that, and they said, we totally understand.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: We just want to say hello to him. We're glad
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: we get to see him. If he doesn't play, we
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: totally get it. Yeah, Dad told me mountainer fan, this
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: one best for Mountaineers.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: Dad told me Friday night, he said, if he gets
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: out there once late in the game, that'll be fine.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: So said he was. He was good with it. Fascinating
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: talk to his dad at length Friday at the food
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: court and they're not mad at you. No, no, he no.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you. I'll show you. Okay, I'll show you
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: that he's not mad at anything else. Is that concluded.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: I'll give you one other thing. Highest graded offensive player
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: was whom uh cj no skill or Ligneman skill, Tobby's
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: don't overthink it, oh Green. Yeah, highest graded non skill.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: Highest graded non skill.
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: It was eligibles and you can go two back to
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: back and they were probably what you would expect.
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: Whyatt Wyatt was three three malone.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: No, Nick was very good coming out of the Penn
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: State game and good Nick was seven here, so he
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: had another.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go on, I'm gonna go on a
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: tone loss Remax flyer.
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: That's it. Yeah, probably the guy over the last couple
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: of years that's been very, very good and consistent that
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: we don't talk about So your left side again, and
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: there's some numbers that illustrate you ran left a lot,
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: had had great success left edge over the left guard
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: in that gap between guard and tackles. So left left
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: side was very good. Remac and Mile and checking in
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: at two and three.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: As we said here today, he's such a big dude.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: Remac had a ninety run block grade. Yeah, they went
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: off that left side on that short yard situation. He's
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: got here it bring a little bit of this.
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: And didn't even bring the Traylan Davis over to block
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: up ahead. They just said here, we're going left side.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: So he did just run it right up in.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, very good spreads on stats by the Conley CPA group. Again,
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: those numbers will change and will update perhaps as the
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: week goes on. So three p thirty Saturday, West Virginia
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: and pitt I saw something on social could be totally fabricated.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: No, that social you don't have to say that, so
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: it's always always correct. It's on social media.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: They said that like the amount of tickets purchased by
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: Mountaineer fans for this week's game was like an extraordinary
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: number based on some data. Whether it's true or not.
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: Well, we'll see usually is I mean, the crowd's usually
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: close to fifty to fifty, right, sixty forty at the
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: very least.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so. I think so. Also obviously West
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: Virginia like that. No one needed to tell them the
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: games this coming week because during that quarter, end of
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: the quarter, they played that song by Neil Diamond. Heard that, yeah,
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: I mean heard about it. Yeah, played that song there.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: So they were getting ready for it as well.
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: We started our coverage in our pregame. We started talking
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: about pitting our pregame. Just take a day at a time, Hoppy.
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: The season's too short to make it go quick. Just
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: day at a time, long pregame. Yeah, we've got time.
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: We can get an all indoor we can.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: Business owners, the folks at Comac's Business Systems have a
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: message for you. If you have been playing that eh,
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: we'll get around to it later, and we'll get around
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: to it later and we might do something later about
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: a new phone system. Wait, no more, many benefits to
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: a new phone system for your business and great opportunities.
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: They'll come in to a free estimate for you, and
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: then you've got alternatives. Purchase it, lease it, rent it,
• 40:43

  Speaker 1: You know what. It's also done. It's stopped lying what

• 53:11
  Speaker 1: way home. I stopped at the gomart by the Meadowbrook Mall,

• 53:17
  Speaker 1: selling your stuff in the stores? This gomart had a
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: tutors in it, and all I could think about was
• 53:22

• 53:26
  Speaker 1: rec cups, efforting shirts, and of course the beer. I like,
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: where you're at Connection three oh four available or it

  Speaker 1: was at the go Marts, but we sold out. But wait,
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: don't worry Gomart. Among all of the folks around the state,

  Speaker 1: We polished off the drafts at the thing and it's
• 53:57

  Speaker 2: need a need a separate pop up shop. And but
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: basically he just it's kind of Go Mart. Yeah, got
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: our stuff. We're We're the got slim chims, I got
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: Recey cups. They're basically kind of doing the Three Guys exactly.
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, they might they might want to consider rebranding
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: a couple of their stores, Tony, they might just I mean,
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: Go Mart's been around a long time, got a very
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: well known brand across state. Might rebrand just a couple
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: of those.
• 54:23

  Speaker 2: according to script when it comes to live sports.
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: Brad, you broke that down.
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: Yes, you did break it down, Hoppy.
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: Thank y.
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: I'll send this to Bowling Green folks for their podcast
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: three guys before their game. Here's what it came down to. Now,
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: I'm being serious here the first play of the game.
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you were able to watch this,
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: but first play the game, Bowling Green ran a deep
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: post right side, going across the left. It was a
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: heck of a cre called. Don't know where they saw that.
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: Don't know where they saw that might have been the
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: first play of the game. Against Penn State West Virginia,
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: they run the same exact play. Guess what happened, complete
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: cut football, cut football, complete for a thirty yard pass play.
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: Bowling Green had two twenty five yard plus plays on
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: that first drive. They caught their balls and made explosive
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: plays West Virginia did not. Bowling Green controlled the time
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: of possession in the first quarter just like West Virginia
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: did eleven minutes to three minutes. Good formula. Here was
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: the difference. Bowling Green had four trips to the red zone.
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: First half. There touchdowns on three of them, field goal
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: on the other. They cashed in. They did a great job.
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: They took advantage of Penn State in a letdown spot,
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: and they executed their place. Second half. What happened. Penn
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: State went back in said I was all right, that's right.
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: Came out hill bowling green and six yards rushing in
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: the third quarter and then took over that game. But
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: they completed their plays. But I found it interesting they
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: ran the exact play West Virginia did on the first play,
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: so they see something.
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: Hi.
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the guy made a play called it yeah Texter.
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: That concludes the Bowling Green breakdown portion of the podcast.
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: Well done, Texter says man. I just saw where Alan
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: Bowman from Oklahoma State is in his seventh year of
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: college athletics. I was pitching for the University of Charleston
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: in my junior season when he was a freshman in
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: twenty seventeen. Wow, you might be right, Tony. We're on
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: our way to seeing guys represent a school for a decade.
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah what he does say? That guy was pitching He
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: just retired this last year.
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: I thought the same.
• 58:32
  Speaker 3: I haven't done as deep a dive on the other
• 58:34
  Speaker 3: big twelve teams as you guys have. But when I
• 58:36
  Speaker 3: heard that, I thought.
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: Alan Bowman is still playing. Been everywhere twice, right. I
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: just just keep playing till somebody says you can't be everything, Texter.
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: I might be done coming to games. Why do we
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: have the absolute worst fans. I take my eighteen month
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: old son to his first game and some dumbass from
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: the upper level decides to throw a beer after Albany scored.
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: It was about ten feet from hitting my son. Can't
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: fix stupid, can't fix drunk. Sorry that I had.
• 59:06
  Speaker 3: Fan behavior happens everywhere, and it's unfortunate and it's embarrassing.
• 59:09
  Speaker 3: You know it's embarrassing, but it happens everywhere. Unfortunately, Brad,
• 59:13
  Speaker 3: this may.
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: Be news to you. It's a lot of bad behavior
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: these days. I'd say, wait, pay a lot for those beers.
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: I hat throw one. I wouldn't throw one. Sorry that happened.
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: You guys have discussed the playing Penn State first, as
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: bad as is playing eleven power five Power fours is
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: an abomination. What would be each of your ideal twelve
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: game schedules? So I think you play an FCS like yesterday.
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: I think you play a very middle of the road
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: group of five like a Mid American Conference school, and
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: then I think you play a traditional rival in the
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: exact set. I would have no problem with what Brad said.
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: If it's pit every single year, let's do it. That's
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: what be mine. Ryan from balt Or from Morgantown, formerly
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: of Baltimore. I'm glad to be coming back home in
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: West virgin as of January. Question for the numbers, Guru, Brad,
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: don't feel like we've seen a ton of motion against
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: Albany tonight. What percentage of the playbook do you think
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: we've seen from West Virginia so far this season? Good question,
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: Good point, Ryan, I don't low less than fifty percent.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: I would guess.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 3: Don't get too exotic, right, I mean that game was
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 3: about didn't need to Let's do what we need to do.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: Don't get too exotic. Yeah. Matt from the Ville writes
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. Bigger area of concern football pass coverage
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: versus basketball rebounding. That's a good question. That's a good
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: question pass coverage, because if you don't get that fixed,
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: you are going to have a really, really difficult season
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: rebounding in basketball. I mean, it's not as fatal as
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: I think horrific pass coverage could be. Well, we've seen
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: that here.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: Coach be Nin's teams weren't great rebounding teams, and I
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: think won a few games, didn't.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: They They won a few?
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And you can you can you can decide whether
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 3: you want to be an aggressive rebounding team, right, or
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 3: just be a rebounding team.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: Well, just sometimes you don't have the personnel.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, West Virginia is not going to have great size,
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: So that's that is difficult to do that. But you
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: can counter to Tony's point, you can counteract that with
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: some other things.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's tough to counteract them. If you've got bad
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: pass defense, that's a tough one. Speaking of coach Beeline,
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: the next home game they are honoring, this will be fun.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: The bee Line fifteen year anniversary of that team that
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: made it to the Elite eight and was a whisker
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: from the final four. All those guys I shouldn't say all,
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: but I mean I hear. I mean almost everyone is
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: coming back. They moved it specifically because all those guys
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: are coaching now, so not in basketball season, so they're
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: going to have an be recognized at this next home
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: game against That's great. Yeah, that'll be fun.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that'll a good to see all those guy's again.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: On what a fun team that was. Three guys before
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: the game is brought to us by gomart. I can't
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: tell you enough to get that Gomart rewards card hop.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: He's got three of them now. He used his real name,
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: his fake name. He just go bangs all those things.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: But in all seriousness, you instantly beg began to save
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: on food and fuel and again our product connection three
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: oh four, that tremendous beer. Who do you think it's
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: going to be in the next next seven to ten days.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: It'll all be back out there into the field. But
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: they sold out. We had a guy come to me
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: picked it up in flat woods and had some bridgeboard too.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: Texter Ben from Ahia.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: By the way, the buy one, get one for a
• 1:02:50

• 1:02:52

• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: Buy one regular regular Eminem's peanut or regular buy regular
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: price one package of and M's you get the second
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: for a dollar.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: Got some racing deals too, Texter, high spread scopes, Hoppy
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: WVU did what they needed to do Saturday two. One
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: hundred yard rushers is good no matter whom you play.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: Crazy what happened with defensive coordinator Jordan Leslie busting his
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: face open? I play with buyser. Never heard of anything
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: like that. Joe and Charustan so I talked to him
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: post game. He took a hard hit. He took a
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: big boy hit, didn't you, dude? Stitches the whole thing.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: He'd think, he thinks he thinks he temporarily got knocked out.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 2: I don't know how he couldn't. Right, if you got
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: hit in the head hard enough to get stitches, I
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: don't know how you didn't.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: You know he is. I was watching him get suitured
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: up and they're fixing him on the sideline there, and
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: when he's when the doctor cleared and the timeout was
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: almost over, and he stood back up like you could tell,
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: like he was just like whoa, and he just like,
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: I'm toughing this thing out. And he walked back out
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: there and did it.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 3: But he said he set out as series of calling
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 3: the defense. He ah, he's tough ass.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: He's a tough ass too, So like you, you just
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: but I don't care how tough you are. You can't
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: you can't take a football helmet at full speed in
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: your face. I don't care how many how much you
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: can bench. You can't take a football helmet in your face.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: Did they show it on TV? Like you now you
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: could not see.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: You could see.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: What you could see was when that play came over
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: to the sideline. You saw a coach get legs whipped
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: out from under him, but it was obscured who it was,
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: so we didn't hear that un till later. Jeez, that
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: was a m tough hit dangerous over there on the sideline.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that he's okay for the most part, and I'll
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: be sore for a couple of days here.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of bones up in here too.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: I mean they probably gonna take a second day look
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: at that as well. Well you know that from your
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: cosmetic surgery.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: By the way, good good point to bring this up
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: with his cosmetic surgery. Happy seventy third birthday to our
• 1:04:57

• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: seventy four, Okay, I have one every year.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: It looks great for seventy four, he does. I have
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: one every year, So it's not that big of a thing.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: No it's not.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: But every time you have one, it's good, better than

• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: are you? Two sixty two?
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 3: We were talking about this in our show prep segment
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 3: about two minutes before ten when we were recording. Is
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 3: that how long we've been? How long we've been together?
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: When I when I met you, I was twenty one,
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: which flipped me out because you said you were twenty nine. Yeah,
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: which is the age of one of the twins. So
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: Andrew's twenty nine, Matthew's twenty nine. So that's when I
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: met you. But you at that time you appeared to
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: be so much older. Really, yeah, you were crabby. You
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: were already an old man at twenty nine, right right, Brad.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: I'm gonn absolutely see it. You could see that. Absolutely,
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: that's it, in all seriousness, it is amazing that you
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: were just twenty nine. You seem more like forty at
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: that time.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 3: But you know what happened was you were twenty one.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 3: You were twenty one once. Yeah, is when I was
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 3: twenty nine, I was forty. And now that I'm sixty nine,
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 3: I'm forty. You know that's my age.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: It's like, that's that song hoppy right, it's that Bob
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: Dylan sings. That's I was so much older than I'm
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: younger than that now, right, I'm just going to go
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: with that age. Just go pick an age, go with it. Uh.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: We got a happy birthday. Was seriously happy. He very much.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: We appreciate that. Thank you. I shared a birthday with
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: the late MILEM pushcar Mylon push Gush Stadium. Yeah, we
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: both had the same birthday September eight.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 3: Did you look up? Well, he's a West Virginia celebrity.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 3: Did you look up like international celebrities. I never have
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 3: no Oh, where's my computer?
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: Ah? Dog on it all right, Ben from Ohio look
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: it up, Brad. Like many fans, I'm concerned with the secondary.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: We however, we look dominant as we should in every
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: other facet. These early weeks have been filled with major
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: conference teams, including some top ten, playing very tight against
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: low ly G five's or FCS's. We need to talk
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: about the secondary, but also feel good that we didn't
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: pull the Texas Tech from week one. You know, tech
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: is about a whisker from being oh and two. Remember
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: who they played week one.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: Aveleene Christian Dog one there at the Keith Patterson former
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: WVU staffer.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: Alba Mater Tyron Bradley for the Mountaineers. He's an Abilene
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: Christian product. So does anybody know what's going on with
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: Texas Tech? Yeah? I don't know, Hobby. When they got
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: that job there, they said they were gonna get all
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: them high school recruits, right, Brad, They had all the
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: great relationship networkings. They were going to get the best
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: players in the state.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 2: They're out to a tough start.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Joe and Charleston. I already read that. I'm not
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: even gonna say hello today. I'm coming in hot. Last Sunday,
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: I was listening, and I know I wasn't the only
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: one who thought Brad was a little ticked off. I'm
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: sure we all thought it was due to the disappointing
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: game against Penn State. But then we were covered undergo.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: Then we uncovered the real issue. It was because I
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: made a comment in passing at the food court about
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: Brad and Tony's ability or lack thereof, to finish two
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: biscuits from tutors. I had no idea my words carried
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: that much weight. As a man who has eaten many
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: thundering herds in my life, I could not imagine downing too. Nevertheless,
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: Brad and Tony continued their stance on the podcast, and
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: I am still a doubter. So I am here issuing
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: a challenge Tony and Brad. November sixteen, Baylor comes to town,
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: and so do Brandon and Jolie. If they can finish
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: two biscuits in one sitting, I will donate two hundred
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: dollars to Revkev's lunchbox program. Do it for the kids.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: Great seeing you guys, PS I grow up. I want
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: to be as cool as Hoppy. When I saw him
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: last Friday, it looked like he had the food court
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: at six pm in a private event at Ernest Hemyway's
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: house and Key West at eight pm. The guy's a
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: stud ps PS. Has anyone ever seen Randy Maze and
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: Rev keV in the same room? You know Revkev because of.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: Keev's taller, Kevin taking I don't see what he's saying
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: about that and the hat. Yeah, yeah, you know I
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: said it last week. When we brought this up, I
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: knew this would turn into a thing and it would
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: be a challenge, and I don't I hate to back
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: down from a challenge, but also don't need to. I
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 2: don't need to ruin the experience of the tutor biscuits.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: I like him.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know that I want to go over the
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 2: top here. So we'll see I was well done by
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 2: Brandon there. Assume that Brandon wrote that. Assume he'd not
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: nice pr move to try and bait us into that.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: But you know, so you you were the last guy
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 2: that that falls for a bait.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: You will not do that.
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 2: You'll run the other way, right, and thank you, appreciate that.
• 1:09:55
