Texas Football Source Just Dropped BRUTAL TRUTH Longhorns NEED to HEAR · College Football Addiction: A Show About All Things College Football

  Speaker 1: We will move on to Texas. Guys, I want to talk.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: We can do a little bit of Ohio State here,
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: but I do want to keep this pretty Texas focused
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: if we can. And a little Ohio State talk is fine.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: But talking about Texas, the comeback, and really if they
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: hadn't shot themselves in the foot to start this game
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: over and over and over again repeatedly, how much different
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: would this game have been?
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: And what does this win mean for Texas? Are they.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Are you picking them for the sec now showing what
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: they saw in the second half or to the first
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: half struggles? Were you too much? Just like, what's your
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: big takeaway from Texas? This is presented by prize picks.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: I will be back in like two minutes. I will
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: be listening, but you guys take it from here.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: Tom, you want to do Omega first.
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: I don't want to draw a direct comparison. Sure. This
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: felt a little like Penn state beating Ohio state in 2016. Okay.
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: In that, Ohio State won that game, or was the
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: better team on the field, and Penn State had all
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: the right things happen, and you saw an Ohio State collapse.
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: Tell me if you've seen that before. And Penn State
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: walked away with a marquee program victory. This was a
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: marquee program victory for Texas under Steve Sarkeesian. They played
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: terribly offensively for three quarters of football, and then finally
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: got it together, but Ohio State I would say let
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: them back in the game because of mistakes across the board,
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: systemic mistakes. I know everybody woke up the next morning
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: and was like, who do we blame? There's a lot
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: of people who messed up for Ohio State. The way
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: Texas' defense, I thought, was outstanding throughout this game. They
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: kept them in it. But I can't necessarily look at
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: this offense and say, oh, I feel confident in them
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: going forward.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Great win.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: It's going to look good on your resume. But when
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: it comes down to crunch time, are you going to
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: be in this exact same situation again against high-caliber opponents?
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Okay, so on one hand, I agree with you.
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: Yes, you have to blame Ohio State for being conservative
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: in the fourth quarter.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: The play calling was absolutely pitiful.
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: And honestly, that's a statement from Ryan Day, not wanting
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: to go for the jugular when you have them in
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: arm's reach and you let them back in.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: It's entirely wrong.
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: And Arthur Smith, again, some of the play designs, people
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: are going to realize pretty quickly why he is not
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: in the NFL.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: But here's my rule.
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: If I'm going to blame someone, I also have to
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: give credit for the teams to be able to take advantages.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: Because think about Texas from the standpoint.
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: Early in the game, the Relique Brown fumble that was
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: recovered inside of Texas territory.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: Okay, cool.
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: So that's three points that you give to Ohio State there.
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: Then you talk about the interception. That was not the
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: best ball thrown by Arch Banning, but it was a
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: catchable ball. And it was so important because of, look
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: back at that play. You have Cam Coleman, eight yards
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: down the field from a defensive back. And that ball
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: hangs in the air long enough for him to be
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: able to recover after giving an entirely... Burnt play to
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: make the turnover. They get an interception on that one.
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: So that's 10 points. So 10 points scored on the
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: luck that came from Texas giving the ball back to
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: Ohio State. And the same thing could be said about
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: Texas getting opportunities against Ohio State in the fourth quarter.
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: So the same issues that you saw in the first half,
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: you saw in the final 15 minutes, and it benefited Texas.
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: Play calling was terrible. They were able to take advantages defensively.
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: They basically took away Jeremiah Smith. He had one really
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: bad drop. And then they had the advantages in the
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: fourth quarter with a lot of different things. Talk about
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: some of the things that are going to be thrown
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: under the radar.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: They had two fumbles that they recovered.
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: Like that could have been the nail in the coffin
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: right there. And Texas got lucky and they recovered them
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: and they turned them into points. Talk about the ability
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: to go for it on fourth down. Steve Sarkeesian with
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: the drop.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what? In the third quarter, realizing that
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: this game could easily be over. And he's like, you
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: know what?
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: If it's over, it's over, but it's on me and
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: I'm making the call. And to go for it was ballsy.
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: And they connected and they were able to get touchdowns
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: off of it. Arch Manning, for as much flack as
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: we want to give him for maybe being an overrated quarterback,
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: you have to give him his flowers when they're due.
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: The guy delivered on three consecutive drives to score 21
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: unanswered points in the fourth quarter and lead his team
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: down the field in the face of where everybody kind
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: of called him on out.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Everybody stepped on up saying that Texas in this moment
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: could deliver in the clutch.
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: Now, again, it's on them to be able to deliver
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: in those moments and capitalize when a team lets them
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: have the opportunity. But it's also on a team to
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: be able to know when you have them in arm's
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: reach to be able to choke them out, wave the
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: white flag.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: You have to do so.
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: And so that's a little bit on both sides. For Texas,
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: massive win for Arch Manning, massive win for Steve Sarkisian
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: to kind of shut everybody up as a play caller.
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: He gets to now say, I know what I'm doing
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: in this program. The moves that I made over the
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: last 16 months led us to this moment right here,
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: which is why we were able to come back and
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: fight off against anybody.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: But you have to also sustain it.
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: This can't just be a moment to where you say,
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: we are on cloud nine, and then we go into
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: Knoxville in two weeks, and we have the same amount
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: of issues that we had offensively for three and a
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: half quarters, and Faison Brandon lights us up defensively.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: You can't afford that. You cannot afford for that to happen.
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: So you can say in one hand, Texas's defense in
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: the fourth quarter made sure that they were able to
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: make plays. Texas's offense in the fourth quarter made sure
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: that they were able to make plays.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: You have to carry this consistency.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: You have to.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: The thing that was troubling for me watching the first
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: three quarters of Texas's offense was there were a variety
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: of times on the broadcast. They would show kind of
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: the all 22 look and there were guys open for
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: arch to take advantage of. And I don't know if
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: he was overthinking, if he just wasn't seeing guys, if
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: this was Matt Patricia throwing the kitchen sink at him,
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: which is entirely possible. It just seemed like a lot
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: of situations that from a passing standpoint, arch Manning was
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: struggling mightily from the neck up. And once they kind of,
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: took the governor off, so to speak, and let him
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: run around, extend things, and that affected cover juice. They
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: found some opportunities. They started to run the ball better
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: in the second half. You can say, okay, the heat
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: was there. It was a brutal day to play football,
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: and Ohio State had been on the field quite a
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: bit there later in the game, so Texas was able
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: to take advantage of that. I don't know if you
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: guys feel like the running game is better.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's 1,000% better than what it was last season.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: It's better, but is it good enough?
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Just before we go on, I will give some love
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: to our friends over at PrizePix. Hopefully you're enjoying this
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: clip from the Power 2 here on College Football Addiction.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: We are only showing one game so far for Friday
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Night Football, but it is Miami against Wake Forest, and
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: we got some picks for you.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: I teased all of these.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: So I lowered the minutes of passing yards to 24.5.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: He's hitting the more on that. I got Gio Lopez
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: throwing one touchdown. So wake does score a touchdown through
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: the air against Miami.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I got Malachi.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Tony's receiving yards at 69 and a half. He's blowing
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: that total out of the water. Give me the more
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: on that. I got Mark Fletcher, 49 and a half
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: rushing yards. Miami's offense is going to feast. Give me
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: the more on that one as well. Give me all
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: three Miami ones. Give me the Gio Lopez. Don't get
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: mad at me.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Canes fans.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: For the more on touchdowns, I'll do more picks throughout
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: the week. One showing so far, but lock it in
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: early before these lines change. I'm telling you, Miami's offense
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: ain't going to be held down. Go get the picks
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: before it's too late. Use code HMA.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: All new users who do.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Get $ 150 in lineups instantly if they win their first
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: $ 5 lineup again on the PrizePix app.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Now back to the clip. For Texas? Yeah.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: I thought Brown and Smothers ran really, really well against
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: a really good defensive front.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: Especially Hollywood Smothers.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: My favorite thing about him, and I was commenting to
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: my buddy that was over, I just love how he
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: always falls forward. That's my favorite running back trade of
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: all time. Unless you have a Barry Sanders spin move,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: then I'll probably take that. Normal running back abilities, not
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Barry Sanders. I I am a big, big fan of
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: the fact that he always falls forward. But just anyway,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: to answer the question, yeah, I thought the running game
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: was good enough.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: I think it's good enough.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Once they committed to it.
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: You also have to, again, and this is malpractice by
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: both coaches, and it's a learning lesson that you're going
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: to have to fix probably pretty soon if you want
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: to stay in the conversation of national title threat. Like
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: see Sarkisian on fourth down right before halftime.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: Fourth and one. Why are you running a reverse with
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: your wide receiver? You're running it. TJ brought this up beautifully.
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: Hollywood Smothers does the one thing that is necessary on
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: fourth and short.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: Fall forward.
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: Fall forward and stick the ball out and you continue drives.
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: And you try to get trickery with it. Meanwhile, you
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: talk about the pedestrian play calling in the second half.
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: Really in the fourth quarter by Arthur Smith and Ryan Day.
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: Ryan Day also burned through his timeouts. Because remember, they
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: had that one timeout left. when they got inside the
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: red zone and they had to call it. So you
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: burned through the timeouts and you gave yourself no opportunity
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: for Julian saying to drive down the field unless he
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: was going to find a Jeremiah Smith that would have
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: to pitch it to Chris Henry, that would have to
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: pitch it to Brandon Innes, that had to pitch it
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: back to Julian saying, that had to pitch it back
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: to Jeremiah Smith, and you run the basic, most electric
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: Statue of Liberty.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: Play of all time that has like six reverses with it.
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: So it's like, there were so many malpractices in this,
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: but from the standpoint of running the football, yeah, I
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: think Texas is good enough But you're going to have
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: to see this offense be able to line it up
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: a little bit faster, I think is the main point.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: What's your... I don't know that we have to do
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: this every single time, but with this big of a game...
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: I think we all had Ohio State win in this.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: I had Texas. You had Texas. Okay.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Does your, uh, I don't know that we did records
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: for Texas or really many teams. Tom, has your record,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: like where were you on Texas before this game? And
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: what is your, do you have a record like update
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: for them? Cause I was probably like at 10 and
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: two and I might, I mean, I had, this is
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: a lot. So I think, I think this game might've
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: been worth one, one win to me.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Like I might be close. to 11 and one.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: I think they'll drop one sec game, but I don't
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: know that I see them dropping to now the big
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: caveat is do they play more like second half Texas?
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: I will say I, yeah, I didn't think Sark was
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: great early. I think they were a little bit unlucky.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: Like to have, to have a knee go down on
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: your teammates leg. And that'd be why the phone, you know,
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: like that, if, if that teammate's leg isn't there, his
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: knee is down and it's not a fumble. The cam
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Coleman play is one of the most ridiculous interceptions I've
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: ever seen in my life. Like the defender was beat
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: by five yards and then had an easy catch for interception.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Like a lot of times, I think both those plays
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: would just have turned into like an incomplete pass and
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: a three yard loss instead of a two turnover game,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: the fourth and one call terrible. obviously there were other mistakes,
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: but I didn't think Ohio state went out and took
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: this game to Texas in the first half. I very
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: much thought Texas let Ohio state out to their lead.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: And some of it was unlucky. So I, yeah, I'm,
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: I'm up to 11 wins with Texas. Now I give
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: a lot of justification for that, but there's where I'm thinking. I.
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: I, don't feel like I'm looking at their schedule and
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: being like, Oh, I think they're going to do better
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: than I thought they were doing before. If anything, I
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: look at more games and I think there's more coin
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: flip games because again, you didn't dominate Ohio state in
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: this game. Yes. You pulled out in the fourth quarter
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: and you pulled it out in the fourth quarter and
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: like you absorbed the body blows. Like that's great. You
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: made a lot of mistakes throughout this game. Offensively special
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: teams wise. We talked about all that stuff. Defense play.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Great.
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: So you can rely on that. UTSA this coming week
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: should take care of business at Tennessee and Tennessee is
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: going to be a challenge. Does Texas have the better roster? Sure.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: But if you make stupid mistakes like this for three quarters,
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: a good Tennessee team can beat you. I don't think
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: nearly as much of Oklahoma after what I just saw
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: against Michigan, at least offensively. So if Texas' defense can
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: do what Michigan's defense did to John Mateer, well, I
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: feel pretty good about that. But it's Red River, so
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: the sky is clean.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: You never know.
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: The Florida game? Again, if you don't play your best,
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: John Summerall has the ability to beat you, and Jaden
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: Baugh can run the ball down your throat. Ole Miss,
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: is Ole Miss a carcass after playing LSU? Are they
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: emotionally broken? I don't know, but still, like, that could
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: be a track meet. Mississippi State, Kamario Taylor might be
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: the best quarterback in the SEC. You should have far
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: more talent than them, but Kamario is playing very well.
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: Let's see what else.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: I'm going to stop your offense. Country is the right word,
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: not SEC.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: It's possible.
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: At Mizzou, you should have far better athletes. I would
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: expect Texas to win that game. But Austin Simmons is
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: playing as one of the best quarterbacks in the country
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: right now. At LSU, I don't favor Texas in that environment,
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: not even a little bit. Home against Arkansas, yes, I
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: like Texas in that environment. And then at Texas A
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: & M, a rivalry game, not necessarily the caliber of
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: Oklahoma and Texas, but still weird things can happen there.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: And if Texas A & M' s defense is able to
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: give Arch and company trouble, I think Texas A &
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: M has less talent than Texas. But still, how many
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: games did I just point out where it's like, hey,
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: if you do the same stuff that you did for
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: three quarters offensively against Ohio State, you're going to lose
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: more games. So I didn't look at this and say, oh, man,
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: they're going 11-1, 12-0. There's going to be some bumps
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: along the way. I don't know where they are.
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: I don't fight back and say you're not wrong when
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: it comes to that scenario of thinking. But the one
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: thing that I will throw back in, if I'm going
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: to give Ohio State credit for taking the advantages over
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: Texas because of the minute little details, the ball hanging
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: in the air for seven seconds, the knee being down
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: on a player and not on the ground, then I
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: have to give credit for Texas for taking advantages when
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: they were able to step on up in the fourth quarter.
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: So on one hand, I had Texas as a 10-win,
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: 11-win roster. I still have them as a 10-win, 11-win roster.
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: I can see them losing a game because they just
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: don't get the breaks enough in the fourth quarter like
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: they did in this matchup.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: But still, Texas is a damn good team. Texas, in
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: my opinion, was meant to go to the playoff.
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: Texas showed you that when the chips were down by
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: three scores, like people don't realize it. Here, fun stat
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: of the day that we didn't get to do at
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: the very beginning of the show because of Mitch Alper
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: got fired and he deserved it. But anyways, AP teams
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: in the top 25 winning in the fourth quarter were 97-0.
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: If they had a lead, they are now one 97
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: and one because of Texas did the improbable. And so
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: I'm just saying, if you allow a team like Texas
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: to get back into a game, when you're up that big,
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: They're going to find a way to beat you because
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: they have the talent. And this is again, right back
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: to the entire premise of X's and O's can only
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: take you so far. Jimmy's and Joe's are going to
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: be able to outweigh it because of talent outseeds performance
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: at times, especially when you let them back into the game.
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: So Texas to me is still a 10 win roster.
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: Texas to me is still a playoff team and Ohio
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: state's still a playoff team, which is why like everyone
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: was like freaking out of like, how do you like,
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: where do you place Ohio state in the AP rankings
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: this week?
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: They went down to number six.
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: I don't have a problem with that. If you want
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: to put them at number four, I wouldn't have a
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: problem with that. It's a one-point loss on the road.
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: It's just the fact that it was implosion. The final
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: score ended up being a 24-23 win because of a
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: game-winning field goal. And it was back-and-forth blows. Would anybody
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: have a problem if Ohio State was at number four?
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: Probably not. And that's why I don't have a problem
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: if they're at number six.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: I would have a slight problem with it. I will
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: say that. I think Miami is better.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: I think Miami should be too. I've said that for
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: a while.
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: So.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: if you wanted to keep them ahead of Indiana, I
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: guess that's fine.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: I would have had Indiana higher anyway, just because of,
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: you know, well, no, I wouldn't have.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: So yeah, maybe five, but yeah. Are you going to
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: split hair?
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: And we talked about this when we did the AP
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: segment the last time the, I don't know that I'm
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: going to die over. If so, a team is five
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: versus six or seven versus four. Like I think, I
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: think one through seven is incredibly close. Like the margins
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: are so thin and Texas deserves to be one right now.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: I think Miami should be too. I think Notre Dame,
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Georgia three and four. I mean, all that's fine. I
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: think the margins are so thin that dropping Ohio state
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: to nine.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: I would have, I might've, I might've had LSU one
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: ahead of Ohio state. I think they deserve the credit from,
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: you know, the Clemson, the Clemson win.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: That George Southern game is a dangerous threat in the,
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: in the somehow boys. That's all I will say.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Clay Helton's got the boys early. I, I, despite Nick
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Saban's best attempts to tell us that, you know, good
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: losses are, are, are what we should really be valuing
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: in this sport.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Not excellence. Um, I would, I would give LSU's win.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: I would give LSU's win over Clemson more credit than
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Ohio state's loss against Texas. Maybe that's just the old
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: school way of thinking, but I, uh, Yeah, it's not
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: only the implosion. It's the fact that, again, I don't
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: think Ohio State went out and took this game to Texas.
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: Sure.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of their lead was because Texas
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: was brain dead for a half.
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: There was that. And then I think they got to
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: figure things out offensively. I texted you guys this. Arthur
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: Smith's game plan is Calvin Johnson circa Detroit Lions.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: Feed Jeremiah Smith, who's your Calvin Johnson in this respect.
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: And then you just kind of figure everything else out
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: from there. And that is not a recipe for success.
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: It was basically by the end of the first half,
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: the second half, Texas was like, okay, we're going to
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: make sure you just can't get to Jeremiah Smith. It's
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: not that they have a bad wide receiver core. It's
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: the game plan where it's like, Hey, we know where
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: you want to go with the football. You're designing things
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: to go to him. If anything, you're forcing plays to
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: go to Jeremiah Smith. So we're going to make you
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: make your second, third read. And we're going to get
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: to you. You're not necessarily running the ball extremely well.
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: So Ohio State's got to figure that out. Ryan Day
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: has a number of examples now where he has major
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: losses against top five, top 10 opponents, where he gets
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: conservative late in the game and he takes his foot
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: off the gas. You have to have that killer instinct.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: I do have to ask both of you real fast.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: Is your opinion of Ryan Day change at all?
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: No, I love the Jim Harbaugh quote that he woke
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: up on third base or was born on third base.
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: I think that's still very accurate. He won a national title,
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: so I'll give him all the credit in the world.
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: Ohio State is a factory at this point, and he
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: is a very good CEO for this program. But there's
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: still instances where you're like, hmm, big game moments. It
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: can be a little tricky.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: I genuinely want to see him get fired.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: No, no, no.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: But there's a reason for it.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Ryan Day?
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: No, there's a reason for it. No, Cole, I don't need.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: A good job on the market. I need no one
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: to get fired. I'm the biggest Lincoln Riley fan, unless
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: he'll come to tally.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: Okay, Ryan Day come to tally. Ryan Day come to tally.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: How about that?
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: I am the biggest fan of every coach on the
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: hot seat right now.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: I need no jobs to open this offseason.
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: No, here's the reason I want Ryan Day fired.
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: The reason I want Ryan Day fired is I'm sick
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: and tired of hearing Ohio State fans be like.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: We can get better. Who? Genuinely, who?
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: He's 89 and 13 and he's been to two national titles. Genuinely,
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: who the hell is coming on in that you're getting
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: that's going to be better? Because Marcus Freeman's not coming.
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: Kurt Cignetti's not coming. So I'm like, I'm sick of
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: this shit. And I'm sick of it because of, again,
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: I'm sick of it. Because it's like, you guys don't understand.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: Like, yes, has he struggled in some of the biggest games? Absolutely.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: Should they have been able to be more prepared last
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: season against Miami? Absolutely. Should he not have as many
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: losses to Michigan? Absolutely.
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: You're running out a guy that's been to two national titles,
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: and it's a game against Texas that was a top-five team. Like,
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: my God, if he ends up getting you back to
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: the playoffs in the national championship, what are you going
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: to do this time? Bitch, because they lost by three?
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: Guy's not the right dude? It's like sometimes you oversaturate everything.
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: I saw so many Ohio State fans.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: Ryan Dank? Go pack your bags and let's get going. Okay, cool.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: Tell me who's coming on in.
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: That's going to make sure that you're 11 and that's
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: 12 and 0 every single season. Oh, by the way,
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: great expectation for you to hire somebody if you're down
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: in Columbus. Hey, if you end up going 10 and 2, fired.
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: It's like the Nick Saban shit again.
