Welcome back to the boundary Corner podcast with my co-host.
0:51
Brian Siegel I am Curtis Wilson. Brian it is after midnight
0:57
Sunday morning. How you doing today?
1:01
I am great. I'm having a lovely morning so
1:05
far, me too. Sir celebration beer, please
1:10
Keys, clinking. Oh my gosh, what an evening to
1:16
watch some football? What a day to watch some
1:18
football action all around good games, all around, nail-biters.
1:23
Unbelievable performances. But Brian, let's just jump into
1:27
it, man. Let's just jump.
1:29
Right into the game. Brian.
1:31
We start here before the game, even starts.
1:36
We're following lightning Zola any better.
1:38
They're talking who they're seeing they're seeing and a
1:40
hooker. They're seeing a lot of starters
1:43
about an hour. Before the game, any better
1:45
tweets out that we have, 23 players that are not dressed for
1:51
whatever reason or not. And of course, you know, we're
1:55
looking through this. We see hinden, we'd heard rumors
1:58
that he wouldn't go. To be there.
2:00
It's not a shock for us. We see Keshawn king that's a
2:04
little bit of a shot, little bit of a poo.
2:06
Keshawn is a good change of pace, back hurts, not having,
2:10
and we see Jermaine Waller, which have been discussed more,
2:14
you know, the foot injury and I think people feel like you can
2:17
have it in a cup, but of all the players, it wasn't.
2:21
It was some guys who are probably going to contribute,
2:23
but the two big names on this, we did not see coming.
2:28
We got two coaches, not only Coke is not just coaches, I just
2:34
coaches defensive coordinator, Justin, Hamilton and linebackers
2:39
coach and former defensive coordinator Tracy claeys out for
2:43
the game. So that's your probably number
2:46
one, and number two, potential defensive play callers.
2:51
Not ready for this game. Not not in attendance.
2:54
So right away, I went Feeling pretty good when I saw the
3:00
players that were out to feeling holy shit.
3:02
This might be bad. Once I saw the coaches that were
3:04
out. What about you, man?
3:06
I was the same way. I was like, oh God, this isn't,
3:09
this isn't good at all, you know, J, Hamm who as many people
3:13
have talked about his mind and how he likes to draw up.
3:16
Things is very respected and then Tracy who you feel if
3:20
something happened to him, Tracy, be the guy, he designed
3:22
the game playing calling please, and they're both out.
3:25
And it's like, holy crap. Look at then it's like who's
3:27
calling plays. Whoo.
3:28
My kind of commonplace it's the guy who's eight years younger
3:33
than me even and it some people kind of talking and
3:40
chit-chatting you know things were involved with like one on a
3:43
tear look Walnut on a tap you know they have all this
3:46
experience abroad and you made the point.
3:47
Watch Ryan Smith, probably not them.
3:50
Yeah, so in terms of coverage and things like that that's
3:56
that's going to be touched by a lot a lot.
3:58
Hands on the defense you're talking about your linebackers
4:00
going to be involved with boundary safety obviously your
4:04
Corners. So a guy that really understands
4:07
the coverage at a great level is going to be the guy that you're
4:11
probably going to lean on in this instance.
4:13
Despite the experience that a guy like to link has being a
4:18
more veteran in terms of a coach at this point.
4:20
So and I mean, as we will get to in a second, I think that that
4:26
played in our favor a little bit It definitely a lot more than
4:30
what we were. We were anticipating.
4:32
I think you know the expectations were well above
4:35
what. We were probably expecting.
4:37
And I do mean you mentioned, you mentioned like having tier
4:40
liquid. Probably the changes that are
4:41
going to happen through the line throughout the rotations players
4:44
who are going to be in and out things he wants to do.
4:46
He's probably focused on that and then we take them Darryl
4:48
Tapp, Got 5 of 12 years in the NFL so much experience.
4:52
Hugh's, probably going to meet. I think probably you had tapped
4:55
as the guy who probably was going to be poking through.
4:58
The two linebackers. Luckily, we have a very
5:00
experienced core linebackers with, you know, a chart Ashby
5:03
Dax hollifield Tisdale and even ours because are displayed some
5:08
probably more gimmick feel what those guys are seeing relaying
5:11
the information. Because Darryl Tapp is that
5:13
smart of a player where he probably could take the
5:16
linebackers info, feed it into run Smith know if coach and
5:20
Coach plays were on a FaceTime, call the NFL, but either way,
5:25
it's not. But if we don't, we don't know
5:27
to what degree Three. They were tapped into the
5:30
sidelines but whatever they did, it it turned out pretty damn
5:36
good, guys. It turns over what I mean,
5:39
Hokies all over NC State 4524. It was not that close.
5:46
Hey, Brian, should they have ever moved that line now?
5:51
They should not have move that line that line was low levels
5:55
low, they should have been raising that up.
5:57
So We easily couple doing some have our predictions.
6:02
You know I give you the victory because you did essentially get
6:07
the bigger margin. Even those important Point.
6:10
Hey I got closer to the amount of points.
6:12
We actually scored though. There you go I almost hit what
6:16
they support. I'm trying to get a win here.
6:18
But yeah, The Impressions you know. 23 three starters who you
6:25
guys you feel. We feel really good about it.
6:28
I mean Brian, I mean, I'm gonna get some stats here in a second,
6:32
but what's your overall impression?
6:33
Just in general, if you guys really wanted to play some
6:37
football? Damn, like they, they came out,
6:42
like, they were shot out of a cannon that they were shot out
6:45
of Skipper and adrenaline worn off.
6:49
There was a little bit of a lull, but then settled in, we're
6:53
consistent the rest of the way out.
6:57
Definitely, let me just talk about top level.
7:00
When I look at what the offensive game plan was coming
7:02
into this thing, it was to run the ball down there.
7:04
Damn throats. And that's what we did.
7:06
It was man and I tell you what, 474 total yards, offensive yards
7:13
over 500. Total from scrimmage.
7:16
We had a couple good punt returns.
7:17
Couple good kick returns 314 on the ground.
7:21
Also carries 314 on 40 is 7.9 of carry.
7:27
That's insane. Front will always talk about
7:31
though, let's take out the big runs.
7:32
I took out a big, the three biggest runs by each player, we
7:38
still a divorced over five and a half, a carry large, one of the
7:43
largest or D largest opening rushing total.
7:47
Since 2000. We went for 335 there was this
7:50
guy named Vic on that team. Got him slowed heard of him.
7:55
I've heard of him to everybody. Yeah so yeah.
7:58
Unbelievable 160 Listen didn't need much of.
8:01
It came up big though Braxton Burmeister start 74. 16 1069 on
8:07
the ground. Nine carries on the ground for
8:10
46 yards. Obviously, we'll discuss later
8:13
Braxton has the hand cramp. When she comes in relief for 46.
8:17
75 yards, two touchdown passes, 10 447 on the ground at the
8:22
touchdown there. One of our transfers, Khalil
8:26
Herbert hundred fifty yards from scrimmage Bryant And a
8:30
touchdown, your man Raheem Blackshear adds a touchdown as
8:34
well on the ground even though there wasn't much for the
8:40
receivers a couple guys still Feast it pretty good Big Stone
8:44
Gap, three reception, 68 yards in a touch tadion Robinson 4440
8:49
and a touch Trey. Turner only got one reception
8:52
but still that 69 total yards including that big Jet Sweep so
8:59
you know, we Good. They're not defensively behind
9:03
me and you kind of about last hour before we started this up.
9:07
Will you just kind of chatting looking to Stats?
9:09
Like what we will talk about and I gave you this so we gave up
9:12
336 and you're like solid number Braun and I said hey Brian 200
9:18
of those 336 were on their garbage time.
9:21
Touchdown drives they had three of them and you just kind of
9:23
went six packs two interceptions.
9:30
This team that had went significantly High last week on
9:34
the rushing stats. You know, averaging what over
9:38
six, a carry about five-and-a-half a carry 42, you
9:42
carries 139 yards, 3.3 per carry the longest run.
9:47
They had all those 14 yards, they weren't breaking anything.
9:50
We were tackling, well, we'll get into that with some of the
9:53
key plays throughout the game. Brian, if I told you who the
9:58
leading tackler, was it be If you guess who the good?
10:01
Lean tackle would be at the beginning.
10:02
This game. Who Would You Against The
10:04
probably said, Rook? Yeah.
10:06
Me too. It was not real killers.
10:08
Key on to Jenkins hate total, tackles Raschi, The Freshman
10:12
going in there. Stepping up big just screed to
10:21
Sag Manchild looking to sell. Tax set up a couple other you
10:31
know sacks as well with some of the stuff he was doing.
10:36
Yeah man you know Brian Murray with a pic Devon Diablo with the
10:41
pick Marie. I almost tried to get another
10:44
one so pretty crazy. So I just listened to those
10:47
stats has that make you feel overall.
10:49
Now as potentially, as we go as a team players are missing the
10:52
players that are there. So I think the big thing you're
10:56
down three key starters down, another handful of guys that
11:01
were going to see significant snaps and with Belcher to of
11:06
your your defensive coaches and we go out there and handle our
11:10
business about the way we expected to handle our business
11:13
before all of this shake-up. I feel pretty damn good.
11:18
I feel pretty, damn good. I feel like this is the best
11:21
possible outcome. I could have imagined from This
11:25
game and that was, you know, not not take into account that we
11:30
didn't have any defensive play caller, as of the start of the
11:34
game. So I'm kind of Blown Away.
11:37
I mean, my expectations, I think we're we're mid to low relative
11:44
to probably where they would normally be in a game 1 against
11:49
an opponent that I think were significantly better than.
11:52
And, you know, they do Keys came.
11:54
Outplayed, well and handled adversity.
11:57
When it came and then took care of business.
12:00
Absolutely, we did. Alright, we're going to get into
12:01
a quick game Flow here through the corners things.
12:04
We saw bronze going to lead this and the reason Brian was going
12:07
to lead a prawn you played we played collegiately you go to
12:13
the high school level. There's things you see during
12:15
the game that I don't, that I make no Jess but there are
12:20
certain things. I know.
12:21
I'm probably missing some Brian. Let's start it up.
12:23
Let's Crank It Up in the first Order.
12:25
What do you feeling? Alright, so first quarter right
12:29
out. The gate offense, looks smooth,
12:33
offensive line, is what really jumped off at me, right out the
12:37
gate, having Brock in there, it just it, hums different it.
12:43
Just get it hums different. And I was seeing him all and
12:47
guys all game. But right out the gate, like I
12:50
could just see the impact he was having on the offensive line and
12:52
just how much better It looked at some of those own exchanges
12:59
and not not having those - plays because of some of those that
13:03
we've seen in the past. So that mean right at the gate
13:04
that was big and Herbert took advantage of that early on.
13:09
I mean, we had a couple big runs on that first drive, even though
13:12
we settled for three and, you know, after the, the turnover
13:17
came back and he was You know, hot again on that second Drive.
13:22
I mean, I'm going to say some words that we haven't really
13:26
said in a while ban Herbert has lead back potential, he does
13:31
man, he absolutely does. He runs a he's got speed and
13:36
power, he gets caught his Visions really good.
13:39
There's a couple times night, he waited set it up, moved it in.
13:43
Also like we kept it. Very simple that those first
13:46
couple drives. It we weren't trying to do crazy
13:49
things. They just don't feel just like
13:51
this is we're going to execute our game plan.
13:52
We're going to do this mention the Divine pick, man.
13:57
Something I noticed early and I made a quick on this and this
14:00
was kind of all night. We were just gang, tackling
14:03
everywhere. We're getting pressure, we were
14:05
gang tally. It was when they got hit by one
14:09
within about a tenth of a second or two more there and they were
14:13
down. Yep.
14:14
The 14-yard that soft about like that was a pretty big deal and
14:19
then Brian, what do you think? You see from the D line?
14:23
On this Saudi line read is a monster.
14:28
He's great at setting the edge and he's great at the bulrush.
14:33
He's pushing the tackle into the quarterbacks lap and that's
14:36
opening up pass rush lanes for other guys, too.
14:39
So, I mean, I love what I'm seeing there.
14:42
I like what I'm seeing from The Zone adjustments that have come
14:46
with with this defense? Yeah.
14:50
We've seen, you know, variations of man or like some cover three
14:56
man under and things like that, but having some of those
14:59
linebackers and the safety and whip in more Zone coverage is
15:06
really giving them an opportunity to do some some
15:08
things that play to their strengths which is some of that
15:11
read react a little bit more baiting of quarterbacks into
15:15
making some bad throws. So the only time that, you know,
15:19
the core Go back. I saw was having some success
15:21
was when he was able to throw on time up field between the Zone
15:25
but any time where our guys are where they need to be became
15:30
problem, then you know, we talked about the Diablo pick and
15:34
that constant pressure in the backfield was something that
15:37
kind of set up a lot of negative plays for them whether it was a
15:40
couple interceptions or whether it was a couple of big sacks
15:44
that we had in that first quarter, that really just got
15:47
them off their game plan early. That's The one thing I noticed
15:51
in mean, you talked about it and we actually I think I sent you a
15:54
text or to was never seen this before with Bud.
15:58
We blitzed backs. We've LED astray Sharlee but
16:01
Tisdale they were delayed blitzes, though.
16:04
They were not significant delays, but that's different.
16:08
That's something we have never seen from our defense in all the
16:13
years. We've offered to take football
16:15
if we're Blitz and usually snap they're going and it's that
16:19
delay. Laid and I know you mentioned to
16:21
me when I talk to you about a while ago, here about what that
16:24
can do, especially with the guard.
16:25
And one of them was like the Justice Reed and whoop delayed
16:29
and he just went straight past the guard.
16:34
But so like a pink real quick with the delay Blitz.
16:36
Now, when that looks like it's part of our scheme.
16:38
Now what it does to especially the interior lineman.
16:43
So the big thing especially for so with a four-man front there's
16:45
going to be one guard that usually doesn't have a In front
16:50
of them that they're blocking. Usually, you know, whatever side
16:54
that the the one technique is for our defense, that guard is
16:59
probably going to have some sort of some to read to three, read
17:04
situation for linebackers coming in.
17:07
And if they don't see anyone right off the bat and they see
17:09
somebody else next to them, that's struggling with their
17:12
man. They might try to pinch and help
17:14
and pinch and help. And at least at least throw hand
17:17
out there. If not go in there and try to
17:19
try to clean up, Up that situation and you know with a
17:23
guy like read getting in there and that guard trying to help
17:27
out, help out all of a sudden you got to delay.
17:28
Brits, let's Rooker Delay from from d'accord, tis?
17:32
And now they're in the backfield making a big play, Man.
17:36
Exactly, this, huge sort of, hit a wall down, swing on the
17:40
offense in the beginning of the first quarter.
17:43
But at the end of the first quarter were up 17, nothing.
17:46
I don't think any hokey fan would complain about that.
17:49
Start with Three times. We scored three times.
17:53
We stop them. Basically, they were
17:55
non-existent on their offense, but we go into this second
17:58
quarter and, you know, just a couple, you know, kind of two
18:01
big moments in the game Brian. Yeah.
18:05
So I mean, we kind of started the second quarter, the first
18:07
drive in the 2nd quarter, had a couple - plays, and
18:10
unfortunately, at the end of one of those - plays Burmeister goes
18:14
down on, it takes a sack and comes down weird on his throwing
18:18
hand and comes off the field. We think it might be dislocation
18:23
or something like that, you know, turns out later we find
18:26
out it was you was having some sort of some hand cramps,
18:30
couldn't couldn't close as close as grip there, so that that was
18:34
an interesting that even they noted on the broadcast a very
18:37
interesting injury. Well, you know, is I've never
18:40
heard of that particularly so, you know, that's that was
18:43
something interesting to deal with, but we talked about on the
18:47
podcast several time and that's quarterback.
18:50
Room in the country in the country string quarterback
18:54
Quincy. Patterson comes off the bench
18:57
yep to the can get hits a couple.
19:00
Good runs it is it's a couple Fades and all of a sudden we're
19:05
in the end zone we are in the end zone and there was no yellow
19:09
flag on the Tavian Robinson touchdown where they get mall.
19:13
He was getting bald at the 5-yard line and he caught the
19:16
ball. Six yards Deep In The End Zone.
19:19
Yeah. He had to literally push his man
19:22
into the end zone and then came back and made the play no flag.
19:25
You know, it reminded me a lot of like, some of those those
19:30
jump balls and Evans was throwing.
19:31
When we played pit back in 2016, where we were just getting
19:35
mauled, we kept still bringing them in and getting the
19:37
touchdowns one possible flag that night and driving rdz
19:41
crazy. It was, yeah, we missed and I
19:44
know you love to see it early. First was that seam route to
19:47
Mitchell and you're on the outside, please?
19:50
And those safeties kind of started moving away.
19:52
We pop that seem he gets us down and we score at one of our
19:56
scoring plays which you always loved the scene and to and it so
20:01
much that I think we should run a lot more scenes is that I feel
20:05
like we never run them when I think we should exactly like a
20:11
lot of times you know you get some of those third down calls
20:14
and I think sometimes the same can just loosen things up a
20:17
little bit so it was good to see that.
20:19
Get hit that That was a big play for us that set up.
20:23
Well that's set up the the first touchdown correct.
20:25
That's how the first touchdown. Correct.
20:27
And the other thing we missed before the TV on fade was at
20:30
hell of a catch by Caleb Smith going back, keeping it off the
20:35
ground and then securing it a couple plays later was the
20:38
tadion touchdown honey that was a damn good catching up.
20:42
You know Caleb have a couple of catches tonight you know, later
20:45
on two-point conversion so it was awesome to see that.
20:48
Yeah, we got a lot of guys. Involved.
20:50
Even though there wasn't any big stat line for the receivers
20:53
other than trays big run. I mean, I was were involved the
20:56
whole night so it wasn't like they were just, you know, out
20:58
there throwing blocks for her were they were doing some
21:01
business. You just did not a lot of it
21:03
showed up in the, in the stat line but you know, big nights
21:07
for those guys and oh, yeah, absolutely.
21:11
Yeah. And like, then we see the
21:14
defense go three and out there. Continuously holding, we kind of
21:18
stall, a little Little bit and say, install because we scored
21:24
the touchdown and we kind of have a couple's, you know, ponds
21:29
we move the ball a little bit. But then, as we're going in
21:32
here, it 17-7, they score on us finally.
21:37
And we come out and we go on a nice long drive, 75 yards, we
21:45
score touchdown. And this is to me where the game
21:48
flip because they're still Down 17.
21:50
They just answered. We answer and you're feeling
21:52
okay. If even they kick a field goal,
21:55
they have to feel good about themselves.
21:57
Defense goes out three down or three and out, eight yards punt.
22:04
Give it a little bit of a good field position.
22:06
Thanks to that punt. It was going to be deep.
22:09
They brought it up a little bit for us.
22:11
Yep. And then couple plays, later big
22:15
play makes the big play. It was our favorite play of the
22:22
the favorite play of the podcast, the jet sweet man, they
22:27
Jet Sweep to Trey. He gets outside, you know does a
22:31
good job of making the cut when he reads the safety coming up to
22:35
fill kind of shoulders off one tackle and next thing you know
22:39
he's Off to the Races and took a corner in the the backside
22:44
safety to finally walk him down. So that was a huge each play in.
22:49
It was a play that I think we needed to kind of get some of
22:52
that that that good feeling about what we were doing back.
22:55
So you know, we had had a sustained drive after you know
23:00
Braxton's injury and after giving up the touchdown, you
23:04
know, Quincy went out there, let a pretty good drive.
23:06
We got a good touchdown and then but having being able to hit
23:09
that big play again, really kind of got that momentum back in our
23:12
favor and felt like we were taking the control of the game
23:15
over again. You know what it felt like it's
23:18
it's the python Theory. It felt like we loosen it up for
23:21
a second and then when traded that big play, it was like,
23:24
we're getting points here and it just tightened up and dip in Big
23:28
Stone Gap. With the fade catches it, and he
23:33
just felt like it's 31-7. It's just like, we can restrict
23:37
them, the rest of this game. They cannot move the ball.
23:43
Sustained and it enough. Yeah, I mean even when they were
23:46
sustained and drives they weren't getting chunk plays fast
23:49
like even though they're a Tempo offense because of how much they
23:53
rely on the Run game? You know they're still slower
23:59
drives then like a team that's running air raid or something
24:04
like that where they can get a couple big plays in the open
24:07
field, all of a sudden you have a 45 seconds.
24:10
Drive on five plays or something like that.
24:13
Now, it's even when they're running the way they want to,
24:16
it's still taking some time off the clock.
24:20
Absolutely. And, you know, they were able to
24:22
get a couple good plays on their subsequent drive, and we're able
24:26
to kick a field goal before half, but that still didn't
24:29
really feel like it did a whole lot for them.
24:30
Like I'm still calling this out some of the Saturday Pat, Finn,
24:35
you cursed Us by putting up. We're going to be up 31-7 on NC
24:39
State. 53-yard field. Also Pat, you don't hit tweet
24:49
till till the clocks we 80. Like when, you know what I said
24:53
is, I thought I'd go out and I went into the Twitter and I'm
24:56
just like, I got the fry, the eye thing from fry from Futurama
25:01
and I just day when that went through, I pressed it, like, you
25:04
deserve this because of that. So we come out in the third
25:08
quarter Briny sea state gets the ball, And they kind of went, I
25:12
don't know if you would call it Tempo, but they kind of went
25:15
with some just some quick passes down the middle and the next
25:19
thing you know, you know, they're driving down the field
25:22
three-step drops, they hit a couple, good passes and then
25:26
something you mentioned in the Podcast, Thursday about Hoffman.
25:32
Yes. So he was late throwing him out
25:36
against Wake Forest. They got took to the house by
25:38
the safety. Little different scenario but
25:42
same, same route and same instance of Hockman.
25:46
Throwing the ball late. They ran another out route.
25:50
In this case, instead of having man with a safety shell, we had
25:55
Marie out there kind of playing a little off Zone and he baited
26:01
Hockman in the throwing the out. He kind of set their few yards
26:06
off. I think it looked like Hockman
26:08
may have had a re that he wanted to go to where else first and
26:11
then he was he was going to the out.
26:14
He saw he had a little bit of cushion out there and he thought
26:16
I got the arm to get it in there and as soon as Marie saw those
26:20
eyes go over there. He broke on, it picked it off,
26:23
almost took it to the house. It was after the way we like
26:28
just kick their dick in the dirt in the first half like there was
26:32
no better way to come out in the second half and just start
26:35
things off man. And unfortunately only had to
26:38
settle for a field goal on that as Result of that.
26:41
But I think it just at that moment I was like, all right
26:45
there will a starting to break a little bit here.
26:47
Oh yeah, they knew with that pick right there.
26:52
Like this is over. And I think what we did is we
26:54
went super conservative. We were like for power play.
26:56
A three power plays and we just kick a field goal to make it
27:00
3410 Europe, 24 points. It's, you know, your five
27:04
minutes off. In the third quarter is, how
27:06
long are you going to be a task or 25 points?
27:08
You you, you're probably not going to be asked for 25.
27:10
Points in that time, you know they kept Hockman in though,
27:16
counted Jenkins causes a bad throat, we already mentioned it,
27:18
justice because justice re was a beast all night.
27:21
We stop them again on another drive and then Brian, we kind of
27:26
low and behold after we stop them somebody shows back up.
27:31
Hey Braxton Burmeister back in the game.
27:35
Alliteration aside. Yeah it looks like the he was
27:38
able to shake off. Whatever is going on with this.
27:40
And I don't know if it was few, got some fluids or ate some sort
27:44
of special food in the locker room at halftime.
27:47
The rumor is out there. He ate mustard because it felt
27:50
like he needed some salt in his body, okay?
27:54
Maybe the awkward hit Braxton has not played in over two years
27:58
or close to two years, maybe just all that kind of happening
28:01
all at once but he comes back out and Down the field.
28:07
We go for 46 yards. Yeah pick them up, pick up
28:12
another field goal there. Yep income another field, gold
28:16
her, it has another good run Braxton.
28:18
Has a good run, then with the pass interference penalty, where
28:23
if that guy doesn't trip Caleb Smith, he's walked because it
28:28
was April. If you looking at the replay me
28:31
and you, we hit real quickly, hit each other in this life.
28:34
I'm tripping. Caleb Smith walks on Earth, That
28:36
ball and he's a touchdown. Oh yeah they save themselves
28:39
there. Yep because Caleb had a step he
28:43
was in good position for the ball.
28:45
Ball was thrown looked like on time based on where you know
28:49
with Caleb getting tripped up ended up only about like six
28:52
yards short of where the ball into Blanding.
28:54
So I mean he will ran right under that and like I said, I
28:58
don't think that the corner would have been in a position to
29:00
make any sort of play on it. So yeah.
29:03
But that's so the setup of that drive though.
29:06
Was the heart attack moment of the night with Tavian at that
29:09
weird ass angle, trying to get a feel that punt.
29:13
Yes. So he was in the he was what
29:16
right in the middle of the field and he was going for it and you
29:20
got to text me it's like you got to just let that go.
29:23
It's a weird angle. You're coming up with manga like
29:25
just let it go like running full speed and you've got guys coming
29:30
at you that are close enough. Just Just Let It Go.
29:33
Yep. We don't we don't want you to
29:35
get Take any unnecessary hits like that.
29:38
We don't want you to end up putting the ball on the turf and
29:41
give them a cheap and easy touch down there, to give them some
29:44
sort of Life at this point. So, you know, learning
29:48
experience, but, I mean, at the same time, you know, he still
29:53
did a really good job in terms of pump returning tonight.
29:55
Other than that one little little situation.
29:58
And again, the level of difficulty of doing that was
30:04
high, you just got to be smart enough.
30:06
To say I'm I don't need to take that risk.
30:09
No, not not that. At that point in the game when
30:11
you're up 34 we don't need a big play right now.
30:15
We need to protect the ball and you know, fortunately for us we
30:19
have fallen on it. And next thing, you know, we're
30:24
back in business here. Now the field kicking a field
30:26
goal. Finally they pull Bailey hot and
30:29
then they put in Leary the sophomore, he comes in, he he
30:33
does lead them down for a touchdown Drive.
30:37
Really on that one. They were against the the second
30:40
or second Timur defensive line who over overall the second team
30:44
defensive line played really good with them or a bar no Eli
30:47
Adams at times. Zion was at times with Kendricks
30:52
Philpott and fuga in the middle. But this one they kind of came
30:56
out with Leary hitting outside Zone.
30:59
He made some good throws. Kendricks did get a good sack on
31:02
that. Play on the interior and they
31:04
had to convert a fourth down to get there.
31:06
So clearly when you're having to go for like 48 the games Out Of
31:12
Reach and, but they get Again, part of their 200 yards of their
31:16
136 336, yards of total offense. Yep, right there.
31:23
You know? Now the best part I really liked
31:25
this because he had missed the time earlier.
31:29
You know, we cheat we keep Braxton in the game and that's
31:36
Kind of when he has a good run, then Jalen Holston has a good
31:42
run and then on the jail and Holster on at the end, very
31:45
scary moment. Co-lead Martin, safety number 21
31:49
for NC State. Just take.
31:50
It was, it was a just, it's football, his neck, my back, he
31:55
was on the field, both teams on their knees at.
31:59
I felt like you saw through one on his knees but you kind of saw
32:01
him. I don't know if you saw that
32:02
moment, they kind of showed him and he was just kind of, he's
32:05
kind of said, And he just had his head down, very scary
32:10
moment. They take him out, luckily, just
32:12
a couple minutes away from the hospital, hopefully, hear good
32:14
things about that, young man over the next few days.
32:18
Prayers up for him Brian. And absolutely, definitely a
32:24
scary moment and having been on the field for for a moment, like
32:28
that in the past it's definitely something where, you know, your
32:32
thoughts are going out to the other team because you don't
32:35
want that. That to happen to your team and,
32:38
you know, everybody's out there grinding, trying to win, just
32:41
hope the best for me. Didn't you hate to see it
32:43
injury? Like that happened on the
32:45
football field especially to start the season so prayers and
32:51
thoughts out to him. Hopefully he has a swift
32:53
recovery and you know, nothing too serious there.
32:58
So we'll pick back up here but we after that to happen we had a
33:03
couple movies like we plummet with Pin him deep.
33:07
So then they a, they take a long drive, they get what 45 yards on
33:11
the drive and then go for it on Fourth and we have to stop them
33:14
there. And and that's where we kind of
33:16
put. Put the foot on the throat here.
33:19
Put the foot on the throat. Yep.
33:22
You're coming later, right back out.
33:23
We got a first play from scrimmage on that drive.
33:27
Braxton Burmeister, is in their throwback screen.
33:32
To Khalil Herbert for 46 yards, that's there.
33:36
That did set up a short yardage situation inside the five who
33:41
comes in Curtis frequency and for a pretty short yardage
33:44
situation. Thank you, Quincy.
33:46
Patterson comes back into the game for short.
33:49
Yardage gets the touchdown there and then the surprise of this
33:53
little exchange is that we brought Braxton back in for the
33:57
two-point conversion. I think we I guess food, just
34:00
really wanted 45 points. Happy is on the TV right now.
34:05
I'm assuming Assuming that's what he wanted, but also a good
34:08
chance in that situation, you know, we're up 43 and they can,
34:12
you know, people like well, that's just adding on and it's
34:15
like, well, no, he missed a significant amount of time was
34:17
actually a nice little plate, is a little roll out, right?
34:20
And he actually, I think Caleb Smith was his second option and
34:24
they covered. I think James Mitchell and then
34:26
there's Caleb kind of drifting back underneath.
34:28
Pops, it in two point conversion, kind of did a little
34:30
of that, that Montana trick. He was, you know, was rolling
34:34
out but they had some Penetration up feeling he had to
34:37
give some more ground and then kind of throw off his off his
34:40
back foot. But he found his second target
34:43
Smith right there in the middle of the end zone for a touchdown
34:47
and that that really kind of kind of close it out there.
34:51
There was a long drive by NC State in garbage.
34:54
Time probably took up more clock than they wanted, throw Port
34:59
will, but I don't know, we gotta go back to the Quincy Patterson
35:02
running, what doug Nestor did. Yes we do.
35:05
I'm glad you reminded me of that.
35:08
I was watching the replays and they were talking about it on
35:12
the SEC network. Nestor was in their guard and he
35:17
pulled and led the way for Quincy on that on that touchdown
35:21
short yardage and he completely blew the shit out of the
35:27
linebacker like the linebacker came in the hole to fill and
35:30
like you know he put him on his back again.
35:34
And pancakes. I hope he gave him syrup to
35:37
play. They just replay.
35:39
He placed the guy back like eight yards.
35:43
He's too like the the letter the cross on the H is where the bow
35:48
our hands from the goal line, it's six yard.
35:54
Again, that's what we call a pancake.
35:56
I hope he gave him some syrup. Damn, right?
36:00
And it's as fun doing this late night, Ron goes me and you've
36:03
had a few beers. I've been up since 6:00 this
36:06
morning. I'm a little delirious probably.
36:09
Um, basically they did they go out and score another touchdown.
36:13
Down. I'm on that drive though.
36:16
You know, he'll Adams gets a set good for him.
36:21
Marie tries to pick another one. He tried to undercut and he damn
36:24
near got it. And Amazon it, he had his hands
36:28
on him and then there was another play on that same long
36:31
drive to hit, kind of their last drive that they score on guy
36:35
gets up merged her Murray, Brian worries and he's a fucking ball.
36:39
He wants that ball. Yeah.
36:41
And He played well tonight. Armani Chapman.
36:47
Are my Chapman tackle. Well, tonight, there was a
36:49
couple times where he would get bigger guys on the sideline, and
36:52
he essentially just made a very solid fundamental tackle got the
36:55
guy down. Yeah, but he had the
36:57
responsibility of having to take a guy out, you know, open field
37:01
tackle, just him. And in space there, he did
37:04
really well. He covered really well.
37:07
If he did, they didn't go to his go his way A Lot, which says, a
37:10
lot about what he was doing in coverage.
37:13
He exactly. So again, all sorts of good
37:16
things so they score it. We essentially get the ball
37:19
back. We tried down, we could have had
37:22
a 50 burger. Oh, yeah, yeah, Holston.
37:24
Broke off a big run. The guide us inside the 10.
37:28
Had a couple runs. It got us down to the to so
37:32
coach Fuente with what? Just over a minute left decides.
37:36
He's going to go ahead and we'll take a knee on it, call it a
37:40
game. Yeah.
37:41
And, and, and, you know, No. It's one of those things where
37:46
we just kind of at the end of the game that was just kind of
37:50
like if you told me and you Thursday night like this by the
37:57
middle of the third quarter, you're going to be able to hop
38:00
on Skype and chitchat out each other bullshit around for the
38:03
game ends. We would have been like nah.
38:06
There's too many potential guys out.
38:07
There's there's too many things. Yeah, I didn't I thought we
38:12
would probably still pull the win but I thought my anxiety
38:16
would have been a whole lot higher, the whole game than it
38:18
was so I thought I'd have been a little more high-strung and kind
38:20
of just ready to bang it out. But now we were relaxed and
38:25
chatting it up and just trying to trying to build this thing
38:28
together before we before we press record and I will ask you
38:32
this buddy who stood out to you in this game.
38:35
Like, give me give me three guys that really showed up for you,
38:39
that either you And expect, or even if we figure, if it's a
38:43
guy, you thought needed to show up and they did just a really
38:45
good job of fulfilling those expectations.
38:49
Well, I'm fixing him already couple times.
38:50
Brian Murray, Brian Murray showed up and even with Jermaine
38:58
Nick right now, it makes me feel really good because in a people
39:03
bagged on our money last year, more money as a freshmen played
39:06
damn good. He was a top ten freshmen in the
39:08
nation. So I knew he Play over Brian
39:11
with very little experience, the way he played tonight, it makes
39:16
me feel good even though he's not my top three Singletary.
39:20
Came in a couple, good hits. I feel like he'll probably get
39:23
there to make that room more depth wise Kiante Jenkins.
39:30
I'm young unbelievable. And you know the third can I
39:37
just say the whole freaking offensive I'll allow it.
39:41
I'll allow it. It wasn't just one.
39:44
You saw guys getting up field, you so good, pass Pros, you
39:50
know, even the sack like the Braxton's a query kind of hurt
39:53
his arm that wasn't that was on him going backwards.
39:56
That was not only offensive line and they weren't getting to our
39:59
quarterbacks unless they were bringing pressure.
40:02
Yes. Absolutely.
40:04
You talk about Brock in the communication and that's when
40:07
you have a guy like Chris and aerosol who's a potential Belen
40:11
FL. Tackle, and you have the two
40:15
guys on the interior HUD, Nestor Medicus who are good guards, and
40:20
Luke kanuda has grown into his own right tackle and you got 500
40:24
feels like he's making the right calls.
40:26
That's my what about your three? I'm right there with you on
40:31
Kiante Jenkins. Okay, not just the tackle
40:36
numbers, I saw him doing a really good job with with the
40:41
Run fills. And I think the thing that
40:43
impressed me most is that I didn't see him really out of
40:47
position. Any like he was, he was where he
40:50
needed to be, even if he wasn't the guy that was making the
40:52
play, or if he may be missed a tackle, he was there.
40:56
He was where he needed to be in that.
40:58
That is saying something for a true freshman.
41:00
Making their first start against a, I'd say a quality ACC
41:04
opponent, I don't think NC State's top half of the league,
41:08
but they're they're a team that, you know, especially in the Run
41:11
game can I can hurt you if they execute well and, you know, he
41:16
went out there and bawled out man, number two, for me.
41:23
Brock Hoffman living up to all of the hype for that.
41:29
We had for him both last year and coming into this year, man.
41:33
I mean, we talked, we've talked him up, you know, feels like
41:35
because He didn't have last year when we thought he would like it
41:40
feels like we've had a lot of pent-up hype for Brock and to go
41:44
out and have that type of performance.
41:46
I mean, making all the right calls.
41:49
Clean snaps song, completely mauling guys on the interior,
41:54
really understands the Zone Concepts and having a center
41:58
that does that that kind of trickles down to the guards.
42:02
So that that's really going to help their game as well.
42:06
So, I really love that. And if I had to put a last not
42:10
there, I'm going to put Khalil Herbert.
42:12
Okay, Herbert. I mean, watching him what he was
42:16
doing in the open field with his one cut?
42:18
I mean, he was one cut and he was Finding finding where those
42:22
were those lanes were and just making that NC State Defense,
42:26
pay all night. I'm going to ask you this
42:29
question about the Leo because the other two guys were kind of
42:31
on. I'm on the whole offensive line
42:33
because I think that group is absolutely Beast.
42:36
Buddy of mine from the West Coast text me.
42:39
I haven't seen a running back. Running back like that in the
42:42
backfield in the last in 10 years.
42:46
I'm not say yeah. Say yeah, David in terms of, if
42:51
he's able to put stack some of these games back to back like
42:53
this? Yeah, definitely.
42:54
I could say that. I mean, we've seen guys have a
42:57
couple big games like this, so if he shows me this consistency.
43:03
Yeah. I'll go ahead and throw that on
43:04
him. But I mean just seeing what he
43:05
did tonight, right out the gate. I mean, that was impressive.
43:10
That was impressive. I like I said lead back,
43:12
potential is is where I'm at right now.
43:14
I'm not going to call him the lead back.
43:16
But he's got lead back potential and I haven't said that since
43:22
David Wilson was in our backfield.
43:26
He was special and you see the way we talked about Khalil man,
43:31
power speed vision there a couple times you.
43:35
And I asked him like there's a couple times he set up his runs
43:37
and you're like, yeah, yeah he did.
43:39
He'd let it develop and then he hit and he's got more burst than
43:43
I thought I saw on his tape from from Kansas and let's just go
43:48
ahead and give a quick shout out to Justin Fuente and his
43:52
coaches. Oh my God, for pulling guys from
43:54
the transfer portal and have They're make impacts right away,
43:58
between read and Herbert's big night.
44:02
And what Blackshear was able to do with xero practice this week
44:05
and probably not even part of the game plan, in terms of how
44:09
they were planning to attack. NC State's defense, I mean, that
44:14
they did wonderful and I'll tell you another guy that did really
44:17
show up on the stat sheet, but did some good things in the in
44:21
the Run game. Fairs was out there getting some
44:24
Big Blocks on the edge. To open up some of those long
44:28
runs we had both from Burmeister and also from from Khalil
44:32
Herbert. All right?
44:34
Brian. I'ma send it to you and I'll say
44:38
it to the listen to the podcast. We ain't seeing everything from
44:42
this team yet and that's scary. Yeah you talk about a block and
44:49
very soon. Get used too much time pass.
44:50
Kang Chang a hodge Blackshear in full mode.
44:54
Getting each on King back. It's not to mention the fact
45:00
that we were using our number two and number three,
45:02
quarterbacks in volume. One of the Season we took you be
45:07
one gets out there and gets out there.
45:11
All right. Brian, I'm looking up here, I am
45:13
not staying up much past 1:00 because it appears that BYU has
45:18
absolutely blown. The Doyles off Troy your Lakers
45:21
have advanced to the finals. Congratulate have.
45:23
Yes they have we'll definitely when We get back later this
45:28
week. We will definitely hit on some
45:29
of the stuff we saw not only in the ACC, probably some, just
45:33
some things we saw in general today, it was a great day of
45:36
college football. I know you did some family
45:38
activities, I watch football had to leave the house for a little
45:42
while. Wife got a little headache.
45:43
So I took the boys, over to the In-laws, still have to watch
45:46
some games, but, you know, yelling the garage over there,
45:51
your father alone, father-in-law's garage to
45:54
multiple games up. Oh, yeah.
45:58
But Brian anything we're seeing on Twitter that might have cause
46:03
for concern before we wrap this up, nothing at the moment, man.
46:07
Nothing at the moment. It's a good night, everybody
46:09
enjoy it. Enjoy the rest of the weekend
46:12
