• 0:34
  Speaker 1: feels the way I have to about you.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Now, Tigers turn talkers. This is off the bench.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Back be the wedd's on the street, that the fire.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: All right, welcome back in Off the Bench segment two,
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: Here an hour, one little oasis there. I think everybody
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: that's in college that wants to teach themselves guitars starts
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: with that song. I think I knew about six people
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: on the team that could pick up an acoustic guitar
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: in college and play that one. That was about it.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: That's as far as they got. So congrats to them.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: And if you ever got past that song, cogress see
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: you as well. That showed real determination. If you were
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: that guy that wanted to impress chicks by playing acoustic guitar,
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: what did you play? You were? You were in the
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: middle school band? Was yeah, so I so when I
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: was in elementary I did I did piano, Okay that's
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: what it was, and then I know, but then I
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: played cello in middle school. So sixth seventh eighth grade
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: cello player, all of the like. It was kind of
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: crazy because like all the the guys on the football team,
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: we decided to play cello, you had to do something
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: you had to do like home economics, you had to
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: do band, you had to do orchestra, something else. I
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: think it was shop. We were like, wait, we could
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: do shop, Like no, we're gonna do orchestra. And so
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: I was a cello player, not a big deal like
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: yo yo ma, and not a I don't want to brag,
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: but I was also first chair thought a big deal,
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: not every single year. Seventh grade that's when I was
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: really into it. First chair cello player cello.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: Okay, better better cello player or better middle school football player.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Cello player. Really So seventh grade that was my first
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: year to play quarterback ever Hubbard Huskies. Shout out to
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: them in Tyler, Texas. Yeah, a lot of Huskies. I
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: got beat out seventh grade year, so I didn't even
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: play in seventh grade year. So I was the backup
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: quarterback seventh grade and then I beat that guy on
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: eighth grade and so I did, but I think only
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: through about three passes a game, So I wasn't that
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: dynamic in eighth grade. It wasn't like Treeport evangel where
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: I was like twenty years old in eighth grade and
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: I was playing on the varsity. I was actually young
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: for my grade. I went to got the LSU was seventeen.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: So in eighth grade, I was I don't even know
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: a guy. I'm not gonna do the math real quick,
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: but yeah, I was. Yeah, the guy played with He
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: was a He was a quarterback. He was my best
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: bud growing up. We were always on every team together,
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: played every position, and so he let's see. And then
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: got to high school. I was a quarterback for JV.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: He was a freshman quarterback. Then he beat me out
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: on varsity sophomore year. It was a bloodbath, back and forth,
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: back and forth. And he was a good player. He
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: played for the Cubs for a long time. He was
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: a hitting coach when they were when the World Series
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: got a World Series ring. So he's moderately successful. He
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: was not really played baseball at Oklahoma State. No Mullet though,
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: didn't have the gandhy. He didn't have the gandy look.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: Did he last twenty years? And we've already laid Gundy
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: to rest this year. No he didn't last that. You
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: know what, the mullet probably would have prolonged his career. Yeah,
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: it checks out. So Taylor, you were at the press conference.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: I say, a lot of news coming in. But before
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: we get to that news, I would like to get
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: this show started.
• 3:58

• 4:11
  Speaker 3: SPA right there, Jefferson Highway, right nearby Cage. It is
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: obviously the absence of Jake means it is that time
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: of the season where sickness is running around. It's going
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: around all the schools. We've heard I fear rumors about
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: people all over the city. Something's happened, whether it's a stomach,
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: whether it's a little sniffly nosed. Well, make sure you

• 4:58
  Speaker 3: go flow IV dot. All right, Taylor, so you were
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: at So there's a lot of news coming out right now.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: Frank Wilson took the podium yesterday talked, of course we
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: got argus all tomorrow and now we're kind of hearing
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: a little bit about a nagging injury for our guy Garrett.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: That's why. Yeah.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: So he said Garrett had a nagging injury that has reoccurred.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: So it was, you know, one of the ones that
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: he had previously had. He said, Garrett's probable for the game,
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: but it is something that is concerning. I mean, he
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: says he's probable, but concerning. It's something we need to
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: watch and monitor as we head into the game. He
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: was later asked in the press conference, you said reoccurring injury.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: Is it the knee or the pateller tendon or is
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: it the oblique? He confirmed, it's the oblique. It's it's
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: in that ab area. You would talked about how hard
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: it is to throw the football, and like, I get it,
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: Garrett had had the best year, but like I thought,
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: he was actually even worse to start the year than
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: he has been. I mean, just because I mean, you
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: mentioned the entire throwing motion is going to be off
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: with that oblique injury, and it.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Apparently yeah, and I don't think we know, Yeah, it's
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: no blaques, it's the left side is of the right side,
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: because to me, I think the I'm trying to figure out,
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: like which side would be anyway for like a guy
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: that turns any anybody that's a swinger, So you're a
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: rotational type of athlete, so you're a kicker, you're a
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: baseball bat or a golf or a throw or anything
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: that's a rotational type of athlete. Anything in the abs
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: in the ribs is like really tough to deal with,
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: and it creates a lot of mechanical flaws and mechanical issues.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: So everybody's been trying to pinpoint with Nuts, like, hey,
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: what's the difference this year between the nuts We've seen
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: and we've known and we've trusted. And he's absolutely electric
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: all over the field, making making every throw making every read.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: And then the nust Meyer that has that we've seen
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: this year, who has not been as dynamic, has looked
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: a little bit like he's pressing a lot. His mechanics
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: have been the same, the throws haven't been the same,
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: And I think a lot of it goes back to
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: has to go back to this oblique injury. And because
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: there's if you're a golfer, you can kind of relate
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: to this, like if you play in the wind a lot,
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: you play in the wind, you have to change your
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: swing right, and you have to change your swing to
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: adapt to the wind. And then when it's not windy,
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: there's a period of time where you have to like
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: unlearn what you just did in the wind. So there
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: could be a situation where he had this injury and
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: he was, whether subconsciously or consciously overcompensating for something, or
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: his body was doing something different in his thumb motion
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: to ease the pain so he could make a throw. Well,
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: if you do that enough for a long and a
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: period of time, muscle memory starts to set in and
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: mechanics happened. So like I sometimes I wondered throughout the year,
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: was I did his mechanics change a little bit, and
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: like I could go like a slow motion and look
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: at it, but like I'm just talking about maybe not
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: from an arm standpoint, but from like a body weight standpoints.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Is right hip getting through, is his right hip going
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: to the target. A lot of time he's throwing falling
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: away from the ball, falling away from his target this year,
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: and I got to believe a lot of that goes
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: back to his abs or is oblique or whatever the
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: injury was of trying to take pressure off of that
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: that situation. So from all accounts we've heard, well, when
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: you know, Brian Kelly was talking before he got he
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: got relieved that he that that's why I was back.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: He's not feeling it, he's it's not it's not an
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: issue anymore. But now we hear that the nagging injury
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: has popped up, has crept back up, which is not
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: a great situation because, like you said, he has struggled
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: this season, and I think that a lot of those
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: physical struggles have turned into mental struggles. He is not
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: reading the field like he did last year. Last year
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: he was reading all fifty three yards. This year he's
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: struggled with those reads. Now, the offensive game plan. The
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: bones of this offense has not helped him at all
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: because it has been flat out bad. I think they've
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: tried to do some good things in all game, but
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: at the end of the day, there's a foundation set
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: with this offense that is flawed. It's flawed from the foundation,
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: from the bones. There's only so much lipstick you can
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: put on it right this moment, at this point in
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: the season. But to hear that, we got a little
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: bit of an oblique situation what we believe was kind
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: of the start of his the decline of his production
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: is not a great situation. No, it's not.
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: And like you've done a great job all year long
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: of breaking down the Joe Sloane offense. And you know
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: what had been the question all year? Why aren't they
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: throwing the ball deep? Why aren't they throwing the ball
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: across the middle? And I totally get that, But you
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: and I were talking about it about a week ago,
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: like we saw this offense do it a year ago,
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: Maybe nuts can't do it right now. And it's because
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: of this oblique and you mentioned like it's the mental struggles.
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: Now I see a quarterback just in MIFP. I mean,
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: you know you know a lot better than I do.
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: Maybe doesn't trust this offensive line and also knows that
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: he can't throw the ball downfield. So like, what do
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: you actually do if you're Garrett and Ollsemart I've seen
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: people today or last night say, oh, well, this is
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: just the secret of binging for no Smyer, this is
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: just you know, putting them on.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: I don't think people realize a soft bench in there.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: Tyler Murray, I don't think that's.
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: Right because people are gonna say, well, it doesn't matter
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: Arkansas's defense is bad. Sure, their defense might be bad,
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: but like, let's not forget the fact that their offense.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: Puts up a ton of points.
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: Right that Texas A and M team you struggled with,
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: Arkansas put up forty two points against them. Those a
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: forty five forty two football game. You need all hens
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: on deck offensively, not because you can't move the ball
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: up with them against your backups, but you're gonna have
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: to match them score for score.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah you are. And like, even if an offense is
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: in the SEC or a defense in the SEC is
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: not good, like productionized people put points on them, there's
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: still a defense in the SEC. They are still eleven
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: good athletes that are trying everything that they can. They're
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: coaches on the other sideline, they're doing everything it can
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: to stop you. So you have to execute. And what
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: LSU has proven that they can't do consistently on offense
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: is execute. And it's not about necessarily about can you
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: win a one on one battle? Are you getting your
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: your tail whip by somebody that's just physically better than you.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: It's not always about that. It's about scheme. You have
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: to get people open you're going against like Josh Hippel.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: They put points against Arkisos. They barely beat Arkansas, but
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: Joshipel is getting guys open everywhere. Schematically, they were winning
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: that battle. And when I talk about the bones of
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: this offense that was developed by not by the people
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: that are leading the offense. Now, the bones of this
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: offense are very flawed just from a schematic x's and
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: no standpoints. So but they tried last game. They did
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: some things that I really liked. They just so much
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: you can do at this point of the season, there's
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: so much. There's only so much that you can add in.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: So I mean, we'll see you do have to execute.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: Their offense is gonna score points. But luckily, they are
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: going to be going against our best unit on this team,
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: which is the defense, which played really really well I
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: thought against Alabama, and they played really really well in
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: spurts throughout this season. I expect them to play well.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: I expect Blake Baker to have a great game plan.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: But there's more repercussions about this Nustmyer injury that we
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: will get into on the other side of this break
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: with Michael van Buren and what they gonna do about
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: his red shirt. I don't know. We'll talk about it
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: right here when we come back on off the bench.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: Off the bench, all right, Well, feel a little bit
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: sad or a little bit excited about the game tomorrow.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: There is no better time to grab a beer. And
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: when you do, make sure it's a dose Sexies, an
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: ice cold, delicious Mexican lagger in that tall cold bottle,
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: maybe it's a tall cold can, whatever it is, and
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: you can actually get it here. You can get it
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: here at Else's, you can get here any of your
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: local beer stores, wherever you want to go. So when
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: you open the cooler on game day, you want one
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: thing that's an ice cold refreshment and nobody delivers it
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: like dough setis. They can get cold delicious Mexican laggers.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: Make sure you get you a little lime, slice it up.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: Can you feel it, Taylor? I can Yeah. After that,
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: I can feel it. I can say it. Look, we
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: live in South Louisiana. Let's not let's not try to
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: lie to anybody. We love a cold pop and we
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: love a little bit of breakfast cold pop right before
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: a game at eleven forty five. Whatever it is. So
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: if you're gonna do it, make sure you do it responsibly. Tomorrow,
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: and if you see us walking around campus, make sure
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: you lift it up and give us a little do
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: sekies cheer. So drink responsibly. Get yourself some dough skies tomorrow,
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: get yourself a little koozy, keep it cold, keep that
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: hand warm, go for dose. Drink responsible.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Two days gonna be the day that they're gonna throw
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: it back to you. And by now you should up
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: somehow realize what you gotta do. I don't believe that
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: anybody feels the way I have to about you.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Now, Tigers, turn talkers, This is off the bench, back be.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: The word is on the street.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: That all right, welcome back in off the bench segment
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: two Here an hour, one little oasis there. I think
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: everybody that's in college that wants to teach themselves guitars
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: starts with that song. I think I knew about six
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: people on the team that could pick up an acoustic
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: guitar in college and play that one. That was about it.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: That's as far as they got. So congrats to them.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: And if you ever got past that song, Congress see
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: you as well. That showed real determination. If you were
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: that guy that wanted to impress chicks by playing acoustic guitar.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: What did you play? You were? You were in the
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: middle school band? Yeah, so I so when I was
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: in elementary I did I did piano, Okay, that's what
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: it was. And then I know, but then I played
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: cello in middle school. So sixth seventh, eighth grade cello player.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: All of Like it was kind of crazy because like
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: all the the guys on the football team, we decided
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: to play cello. You had to do so something you
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: had to do, like home economics, you had to do, band,
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: you had to do orchestra, something else. I think it
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: was a shop and we're like, wait, we could do shop.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: Like now we're gonna do orchestra. And so I was
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: a cello player, not a big deal like yo yo
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: ma and not a I don't want to brag, but
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: I was also first chair, got a big deal, not
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: every single year. Seventh grade that's when I was really
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: into it. Uh, first chair cello player cello Okay.
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: Better better cello player or better middle school football player.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: Cello player? Really so seventh grade that was my first
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: year to play quarterback ever Hubbard Huskies. Shout out to
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: them in Tyler, Texas. Yeah, a lot of Huskies. I
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: got beat out seventh grade year, so I didn't even
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: play in seventh grade year. So I was the backup
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: quarterback seventh grade. And then I beat that guy on
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: eighth grade and so I did, but I think only
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: about three passes a game. So I wasn't that dynamic
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: in eighth grade. I wasn't like Shreeport evangel where I
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: was like twenty years old in eighth grade and I
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: was playing on the varsity. I was actually young for
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: my grade. I went to got to LSU, was seventeen,
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: So in eighth grade I was I don't even know
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: a guy. I'm not gonna do the math real quick,
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: but yeah, I was. Yeah, the guy played with He
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: was a he was a quarterback. He was my best
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: bud growing up. We were always on every team together,
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: played every position, and so he let's see. And then
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: we got to high school. I was a quarterback for JV.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: He was a freshman quarterback. Then he beat me out
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: on varsity sophomore year. It was a bloodbath, back and forth,
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: back and forth. And he was a good player. He
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: played for the Cubs for a long time. He was
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: a hitting coach when they were when the World Series
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: got a World Series ring. So he's moderately successful. He
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: was not really played baseball at Oklahoma State. No, mullet, though,
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: you didn't have the Gandy. He didn't have the gandy. Look.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: Did he last twenty years? And we've already laid Gundy
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: to rest this year. No, it didn't last. That's you
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: know what. The Mullet probably would have prolonged his career. Yeah,
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: it checks out. So, Taylor, you were at the press conference.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: I'll say a lot of news coming in. But before
• 17:14

• 18:22
  Speaker 3: All right, Taylor, so you were at so there's a
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: lot of news coming out right now. Frank Wilson took
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: the podium yesterday, talked, of course we got Argus all tomorrow,
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: and now we're kind of hearing a little bit about
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: a nagging injury for our guy, Garrett Nesmier.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: So he said Garrett had a nagging injury that has reoccurred.
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: So it was, you know, one of the ones that
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: he had previously had. He said, Garrett's probable for the game,
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: but it is something that is concerning. I mean, he
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: says he's probable, but concerning. It's something we need to
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: watch and monitor as we head into the game. He
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: was later asked in the press conference, you said reoccurring injury.
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: Is it the knee or the pateller tendon or is
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: it the oblique? He confirmed it's the oblique. It's it's
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: in that ab area. You would talked about how hard
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: it is to throw the football, and like, I get it,
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: Garrett had did the best year, but like I thought,
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: he was actually even worse to start the year than
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: he has been. I mean, just because I mean you
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: mentioned the entire throwing motion is going to be off
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: with that oblique enginet it apparently back.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I don't think we know, Yeah, it's an
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: obleaques it's the left side is of the right side,
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: because to me, I think the I'm trying to figure out,
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: like which side would be anyway for like a guy
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: that turns an anybody that's a swinger, So you're a
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: rotational type of athlete, So you're a kicker, you're a
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: baseball bat, or a golf or a throw or anything
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: that's a rotational type of athlete. Anything in the abs
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: and the ribs is like really tough to deal with,
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: and it creates a lot of mechanical flaws and mechanical issues.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: So everybody's been trying to pinpoint with Nuts, like, hey,
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: what's the difference this year between the nuts we've seen
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: and we've known and we've trusted. And he's absolutely electric
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: all over the field, making making every throw, making every reed.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: And then the nustmyre that that we've seen this year,
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: who has not been as dynamic, has looked a little
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: bit like he's pressing a lot. His mechanics have been
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: the same, the throws haven't been the same. And I
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: think a lot of it goes back to has to
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: go back to this oblique injury, and because there's if
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: you're a golfer, you can kind of relate to this,
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: Like if you play in the wind A lot you
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: play in the wind, you have to change your swing right,
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: and you have to change your swing to adapt to
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: the wind. And then when it's not windy, there's a
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: period of time where you have to like unlearn what
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: you just did in the wind. So there could be
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: a situation where he had this injury and he was,
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: whether subconsciously or consciously, overcompensating for something, or his body
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: was doing something different in his thumb motion to ease
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: the pain so he could make a throw. Well, if
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: you do that enough for along in a period of time,
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: muscle memory starts to set in and mechanics happened. So
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: like I I sometimes I wondered throughout the year, was
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: I did his mechanics change a little bit? And like
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: I could go like a slow motion and look at it.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: But like I'm just talking about maybe not from an
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: arm standpoint, but from like a body weight standpoints. His
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: right hip getting through is right hip going to the target.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: A lot of times he's throwing falling away from the ball,
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: falling away from his target this year, and I gotta
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: believe a lot of that goes back to his abs
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: or his oblique or whatever the injury was, of trying
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: to take pressure off of that that situation. So from
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: all accounts we've heard, well, when you know Brian Kelly
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: was talking before he got he got relieved. Uh that
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: he that that's why I was back. He's not feeling it.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: He's it's not a it's not an issue anymore. But
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: now we hear that the nagging injury has popped up,
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: has crept back up, which is not a great situation because,
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: like you said, he has struggled this season, and I
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: think that a lot of those physical struggles have turned
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: into mental struggles. He is not reading the field like
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: he did last year. Last year he was reading all
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: fifty three yards. This year he's struggled with those reads. Now.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: The offensive game plan, the bones of this offense has
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: not helped him at all because it has been flat
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: out bad. I think they've tried to do some good
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: things in the last game, but at the end of
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: the day, there's a foundation set with this offense that
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: is flawed. It's flawed from the foundation, from the bones.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: There's only so much lipstick you can put on it
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: right this moment, at this point in the season. But
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: to hear that we got a little bit of an
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: oblique situation what we believe was kind of the start
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: of his the decline of his production. Is not a
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: great situation. No it's not.
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: And like you've done a great job all year long
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: of bringing down the Joe Sloan offense. And you know
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: what had been the question all year? Why aren't they
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: throwing the ball deep? Why aren't they throwing the ball
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: across the middle? And I totally get that, but you
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: and I were talking about it about a week ago,
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: Like we saw this offense do what a year ago.
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: Maybe nuts can't do it right now, and it's because
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: of this oblique and you mentioned like it's it's the
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: mental struggles. Now I see a quarterback just in my openion.
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: You know, you know a lot better than I do,
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: that maybe doesn't trust this offensive line and also knows
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: that he can't throw the ball downfield.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: So like, what do you actually do if you're Garrett?
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: And I'll smart, I've seen people today or last night say,
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: oh well, this is just the secret of benching for
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: no Smyer, this is just you know, putting them on.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: I don't think people realize that the tyler.
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: I don't think that's right because people are gonna say, well,
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: it doesn't matter. Arkansas's defense is bad. Sure, their defense
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: might be bad, but like, let's not forget the fact
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: that their offense puts up a ton of points. Right
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: that Texas A and M team you struggled with, Arkansas
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: put up forty two points against them those at forty
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: five forty two football game. You need all hands on
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: deck offensively, not because you can't move the ball up
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: with them against your backups, but you're gonna have to
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: match them score for score.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah you are. And like, even if an offense is
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: in the SEC or a defense in the SEC is
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: not good, like productionalized people put pinings so on, there's
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: still a defense in the SEC. They are still eleven
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: good athletes that are trying everything that they can. They're
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: coaches on the other sideline, they're doing everything it can
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: to stop you. So you have to execute. And what
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: LSU has proven that they can't do consistently on offense
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: is execute. And it's not about necessarily about can you
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: win a one on one battle? Are you getting your
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: tail whipped by somebody that's just physically better than you.
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: It's not always about that. It's about scheme. You have
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: to get people open you're going against like Joshibel. They
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: put points against Arkansas. They barely beat Arkansas, but Josh
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: Hipel is getting guys open everywhere. Schematically, they were winning
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: that battle. And when I talk about the bones of
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: this offense, that was developed by not by the people
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: that are leading the offense. Now, the bones of this
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: offense are very flawed just from a schematic x's and
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: no standpoints. So but they tried last game. They did
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: some things that I really liked. They just so much
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: you can do at this point of the season, there's
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: so much. There's only so much that you can add in.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: So I mean, we'll see you do have to execute.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: Their offense is gonna score points. But luckily they are
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: going to be going against our best unit on this team,
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: which is the defense, which played really really well I
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: thought against Alabama and that played really really well in
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: spurts throughout this season. I expect them to play well.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: I expect Blake Baker to have a great game plan.
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: But there's more repercussions about this. Nustmyer injury that we
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: will get into on the other side of this break
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: with Michael van Buren and what they're going to do
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: about his red shirt. I don't know. We'll talk about
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: it right here when we come back on off the bench.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: Off the bench, all right, Well, feel a little bit
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: sad or a little bit excited about the game tomorrow.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: There is no better time to grab a beer. And
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: when you do, make sure it's a dose SECI's an
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: ice cold delicious Mexican lagger in that tall cold bottle.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: Maybe it's a tall cold can, whatever it is, and
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: you can actually get it here. You can get it
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: here at else as you can get here any of
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: your local beer stares wherever you want to go. So
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: when you open the cooler on game day, you want
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: one thing that's an ic cold refreshment, and nobody delivers
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: it like do Skis, the king of cold delicious Mexican loggers.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: Make sure you get you a little lime. Slice it up.
• 26:13

  Speaker 5: Oh that's Napoleon dynamite.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: That's a Napoleon dynamite.
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, So there was this whole thing. It's it's
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: an unpopular take on on my part. I don't like
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: Napoleon Dynamite at all. And actually you'll love this because
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: it involves the Green Bay Packers back when T Bob
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: was still on the show, uh two years ago. Remember
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: the Cowboys were like the number one or two seed
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: whatever it was, and I believe it or not, I'm
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: at they sucked in the playoff shocker okay, and they
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: were playing the upstar Green Bay Packers with Jordan Love
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: going on a tear and T Bob said, okay, well,
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: since you don't like Napoleon Dynamite, if the Cowboys lose
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: to the Packers, you have to dress like Napoleon Dynamite.
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: And I'll be damned. I showed up the word dressed
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: like Napoleon Dodnamite because the packers put a whooping.
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: All right on the Dallas Cowboys. So was it like
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: Napoleon from like the dance scene.
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: So I ordered the white vote for Pedro shirt, the
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: curly wig, and it came with like a cheap pair
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: of like glasses.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: All right, So you don't think that's Napoleon Dynamite's funny,
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: So you're more of like a fart joke, kind of
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: like far joke, only that situation on the far jo.
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: I don't know. It's just it's just not my vibe.
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: It's just one of those things that dry here and
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: explain it. It's just not my vibe. So you don't
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: like like the office, probably No, Victoria loves the office.
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: Lundra didn't like the office either. I don't think Jake does.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: I think you're alone on the office.
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: I don't dislike the office.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: You don't. It's not my favorite. It's not my favorite. Okay,
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: all right, Yeah, I didn't mean to put that evil
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: on you. I thought i'd heard you say that. That's
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: on me. Ribs says she likes the office. I get it,
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: though it's a little slower, it's a little dryer. You gotta,
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: you know, gotta have some wit. Taylor gotta have a
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: little whip. No fart jokes there, Okay, all right, So
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: we just got talking about you know, Taylor was at
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: there live at Frank Wilson's presser yesterday. We got the
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: news about Garrettnusmeyer with the nagging injury on the on
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: the oblique. But look, there's been a lot of talk.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: We the plan was per Frank earlier in the week
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: that both quarterbacks gonna be planning for both quarterbacks to play. Now,
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: he didn't necessarily say, you know, dual quarterback system, but
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: he said there's going to be a planning place for
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: both quarterbacks to play. Now, does that speed that timeline up?
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: There's some repercussions though with Van Buren. If Van Buren
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: decided it's like if they're like, all right, nuts, you
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: know what, offense hadn't been great, you're hurting a little bit,
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: let's just give the keys over to Van Buren. But
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: there are some repercussions that aren't just gonna be up
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: to Frank. I gotta feel like it's going to be
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: up to Van and that's of course the red shirt. Yeah,
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: so take the Bowl game out of it. The Bowl
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: game does not count towards eligibility. He can play in
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: one more regular season game with three remainers, like one play, yeah,
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: so I mean one one regular season game that would
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: be his four games.
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: That would burn his red shirt. So the question you
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: have to ask yourself is do you want Michael van
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: Buren to burn your red shirt?
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: Like obviously you want LSU.
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: To win every game, you want them to have the
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: best opportunity.
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: But I mean, let's call it like it is. This
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: is a lost season.
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: It is you don't have a quarterback currently in the
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: twenty twenty six recruiting class because you were all in
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: on Bryce Underwood last year. Remember you missed on him.
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: You actually had to scramble to go get a Michael
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: van Buren. I mean, you kind of paid a premium
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: price for Michael Van Buren to be your backup quarterback
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: in the transfer portal, but because you needed somebody, I mean,
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: you had a seventeen year old Colin Hurley and Garrett Nosmyer.
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: That's all you had, right and then you don't have
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: anybody committed in the upcoming classes of right now. So
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: I mean, do you want to preserve that red shirt
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: if you possibly could, I would think yes. However, this
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: throws a wrench in things.
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so when you bring a guy like Michael van
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: Buren in from another you bring him in in the
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: office and bring him through the portal, like, the conversation
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: has to be had at that point about the red shirt,
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: like and what like here is what's gonna happen. If
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: these things happen, We're going to burn your red shirt
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: and are you okay with that? And I'm assuming the
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: answer was probably yes, okay if but it was probably
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: yes with some conditions. Yeah, as long as it's not
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: for like a play, as long as it's not a
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: waste or like a you know, phone in and crap
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: time or whatever it is. I guarantee you that there
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: was never a conversation with him, is are you okay
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: burning it because our heisman hopeful quarterback isn't playing well
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: enough and at the end of the year we're gonna
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: have four and we're gonna see what you got. Yeah.
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: I don't think that was ever the situation.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: So the.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: Especially with the interim tag that Frank has, I don't
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: think it can be up to him. No, it has
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: to be up to van Berry. It has to be
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: up to Van Buren. And now, at the end of
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: the day, they can make him play, I would assume,
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: but I just don't see that happening. But it has
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: to be up to Michael van Buren and his family
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: deciding what the best course of action for his career is.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: I mean because at some point, like these kids do,
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: at some point have to be selfish, a little bit
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: like team first, team first, team first, then team first,
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: but then a little bit of selfish on knowing what
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: your career is. And yes, it is a great opportunity.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: If they just said Van Buren, you're gonna be the
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: start of the rest of the season, I think that's
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: absolutely yeah, let's burn that thing. Let's go yeah for sure.
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: Or hey, we're gonna play you in one more game,
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: but you're gonna start the entire Western Kentucky game.
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: We want to see what we have in you. We
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: hear that all the time with Tyler Shock.
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: You gotta see what you got, But like with Van Buren, yeah,
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: it's actually a little bit more true because you need
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: to know is your starring quarterback in twenty twenty six
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: currently on the roster. Some people will say Yeah, a
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: lot of people will say no, but like you mentioned,
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: sometimes you do have to be selfish. People forget about this.
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: Garrett Nosmar was when his first year here, Brian Kelly
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: got the job. In that Texas Bowl, John Trey Kirkland
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: started a quarterback. It was because at that time he
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: doesn't anymore. But at that time that would have burned
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: dereckt Osmar's red shirt and he did not want to
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: do that. Now, you know, there was a little bit
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: of pushback on it, but I mean, now, Matt, at
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: the beginning of the season, everybody was really really happy
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: that Garrett Olsmar didn't burn that red shirt. And he
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: was out of eligibility a year ago. So like we've
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: we've seen that happen right here before.
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: I don't think Van Buren does that because you do
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: have Yeah, but.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: It was also a de social left. Yeah, that was
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: also a decision that was based on the future bat
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: head coach and what they were doing. Like Frank Stong
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: could be that full time. I mean, let's not say never, never, whatever,
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: but we don't believe. We don't believe that Frank's so
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: he's not making a decision based on his future success
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: as the head coach. Right, So anyway, there's there's just
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: a lot going on with this decision. And I don't
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: dye anybody having to make this decision. I don't envy
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: Frank Kevin, do you know, try to make the decision
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: about Garrett Nesmeyer and about you know, the offense does
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: like you made a decision last game to pull him,
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: and it was the right decision at that time. Now
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: now you got to decide what's what's going to happen next.
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: And we've already heard and I think I think a
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: one hundred actually just texted us. He said on the
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: show last night. Frank said on the show, I said
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: that the decision of who is going to start will
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: be made in warm ups. Launder, can you jump on
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: here and kind of give us a little clarity on that.
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah, So they asked Frank during the show last night,
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: Well Chris did, and he said basically the same thing.
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: It's a nagging injury. They gave him a pitch count
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: during practice yesterday and I don't think they practiced today,
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: but they gave They've been giving him a pitch count
• 35:56
  Speaker 5: at practice and they're just going to see how he
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: feels during warm ups, and he didn't have like a
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: definitive answer over who was going to start, but they
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: did ask him about like a dual quarterback system, and
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: he says that that's not really what they're trying to
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: do because of what you said, because it's hard to
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: get a quarterback like into rhythm, especially if you're switching
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: them in and out and stuff like that.
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: So it was basically that, yeah, that's interesting. It's a
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: I guess you're saying. That kind of tells me, just
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: like hearing this for the first time, really this kind
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: of tells me that the plan is to play Garrett
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: unless he can't unless he can and then at that point, that's.
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: A drastic change from what he said on Monday. Now
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: I get this injury. I mean in the press coverage
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: yesterday he said this popped up two day so this
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: was a Thursday injury. On Monday, I mean a lot
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: of people were criticizing them, and he came out and said, yeah,
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: we're really not going to change anything. I mean, we
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: might play two quarterbacks, but Garrett's the starter. He's gonna
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: get all the first team reps in practice.
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: I mean, that is a drastic change.
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: Like last night, he was saying at the press conference
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: with saying, you know, he's probable, but it's concerning, I
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: mean not right there. What he said at the coaches
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: show sounds like this is questionable for the game time decision.
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: Right, And it might be one of those situations where, hey,
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: there's a plan to play both these guys. We're assuming
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: Garrett's Garrett's healthy, right, this is probably the beginning of
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: the week, So plan to play Garrett and both guys.
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: But we're not playing the best defense in the SEC.
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: So Garrett's coming out and we're moving the ball. Let's
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: keep Michael Van Buren's sideline. Maybe play in the Western Kentucky.
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: There's so many scenarios that we could play out. In
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: all honesty, we don't know what's happened. All we can
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: try is read the tea leaves here, but we do
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: know there are big repercussions. There are big decisions to
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: be made because of this red shirt hanging over everybody's head,
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: and of course this nagging oblique injury and the poor
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: play of the LSU offense to this point with Garrett
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: and Mesmer, you know, taking the helm and leading. So
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: we'll see it'll be so fascinating to watch. We'll see,
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: I guess we'll all the way up to warm up tomorrow.
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: We'll see what's going to be, what's going on. So anyway,
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: I hope that I hope that Nuss is fine. I
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: hope that he goes out and plays great. But if not,
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: I hope that Van Buren steps in there and shows
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: that he was that that guy that we hope that
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: he is. A backup quarterback is always the most popular
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: guy in town. And it's never been more true than
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: it is right now. So we'll see. It'll be be
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: crazy to watch, it'll be fun to watch, and hopefully,
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: I don't care what happens. I hope we beat the
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: Brakes off Arkansas tomorrow. We beat him byt fifty. Yet
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: to meet him by fifty, we got to score more
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: than twenty five.
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean, ja, I think Jake said this yesterday,
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: it'll beat him up fifty up to score fifty.
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: I don't see that happening.
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: I think it would take you what y'all, y'all mapped
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: it out yesterday June a half games to get to fifties.
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: I don't think that's going to happen. But look, remember
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: the big kind of knock on Blake Baker. So far
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: since he's been here at LSU, people will say, okay, well,
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: he has troubles stopping dual threat quarterbacks. Tayling Green was
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: a little bit banged up coming into the game last year,
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: but they shut down Taylor Green in Fayetteville last year. So,
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: like I understand that he's kind of struggled with that
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: mobile quarterback. He figured out Taylor Green a year ago.
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: So this is another one of those games of your defense.
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: Keep you in it. Yep, we'll see well, and Blake Baker,
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: we trust. All right, we're gonna go to break. We
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: will come back and wrap up our number one right
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: here on off the bench, off the bench, all right, Well,
• 39:16

• 41:24
  Speaker 3: office right above your garage, make sure you call Golf
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: Coast Office Products or go see them at gcop net
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: dot com so they can make your office work more efficiently.
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: Gulf Coast Office Products. All right, Taylor, So how's you basketball?
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: We basketball school. We're three and o Matt, not, no
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: big deal. Can't be any better than that. That must
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: be against pretty good teams too, not the cream of
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: the crowd. But I mean, look, they played Florida International
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: last night. You nobody's gonna say, Okay, yeah, it's Florida International.
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: You've played you at No you're hydrated team though, Okay,
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: Well there you go. You played Tarleton State.
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: I always look at it though, when you're not at
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: your best, can you still find a way to pull
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: out a win. I think games like that make you
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: a better team. And that's what they did last night
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: because you know, they only gave up fifty five fifty
• 42:11
  Speaker 4: six points to uin O. They held Tarlton State to
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: sixty points, so their defense has been really good. Florida
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: International scored eighty one points against this team last night
• 42:19
  Speaker 4: and LSU really kind of had to pull away at
• 42:21
  Speaker 4: the end. It was kind of a kind of in
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: a dog fight with about you know, eight minutes seven
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: minutes to go in.
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: That ball game, and they did just that.
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: I think that makes you a better team because when
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: you get an SEC play, these are the type of
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: games you're gonna play. It's going to be tight down
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: the stretch. How can you respond? I mean, I think
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: Markel Sutton and Mike Nawoko, they're probably the two best
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: players on your team. You got a big in the middle,
• 42:41
  Speaker 4: you got a wing. But you know you'll learn this
• 42:43
  Speaker 4: name as the season goes along. DJ Thomas. Keep an
• 42:46
  Speaker 4: eye on that guy because he's gonna be your point
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: guard and he's a true point guard. Matt McMahon teams
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: at Murray State when they were the best, he had
• 42:53
  Speaker 4: a true dominant point guard. Now, last year Cam Carter
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: was great, but he was more of a two guard
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: than that pure one. I mean sold the Sweet sixteen
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: run with John Morant.
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: I get it.
• 43:02
  Speaker 4: John Morants don't grow on trees. But there were multiple
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: years when you know he had that dominant point guard
• 43:08
  Speaker 4: that conditioned out to the shooters and unless you ha
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: shooters and DJ Thomas is finding him right now, So
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: like there's there's a lot to like with this team
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: early on. Now we'll see how they do an sec play,
• 43:17
  Speaker 4: but the early returns looked pretty good.
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: DJ Thomas, DJ Tom White Guard, d Don Thomas. Did
• 43:22

  Speaker 3: about attendance with a comma in it, or attendants not

• 43:44
  Speaker 3: tell you how many numbers are behind that comma. Yeah,
