• 0:26
  Speaker 1: It's seven and three for the first time and a
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: long long time. We cannot get worse from last year
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: to this year from an overall record standpoint.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: It's a good feeling. Boys.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Like I was, I was trying to give my
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: thoughts and it. You know, it feels like when you
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: graduate high School's like, wait, that's it, Like it feels good,
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: but I don't know. You just thought you feel you
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: feel special.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: But it's like, oh no, so we've returned to glory.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: That's what you're saying, We've returned.
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: I don't know if it's to return our last podcast
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: and that was it the seventh wind did that was it?
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: That's exactly how It's exactly how everybody everybody thought. And
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: rasting eight the seventh win, coming the season, TJ Latif
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: leading the team looking great.
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: But that's exactly how I was gonna go.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, No, it went better than I thought it was
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: going to. I thought we were gonna lose, but I
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: also thought I thought it was gonna because we're going
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: to turn the ball over and I thought they were
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: going to actually let the teeth pass the ball, but
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: they didn't have to.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Weird concept, Yeah, weird concept when your quarterback can run.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: Well, it wasn't really what he did on the ground.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: He didn't do a lot on the ground.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, Austin, we're just gonna have a fun podcast. We're
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: gonna have a fun podcast.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: But yes, I it was a good win.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: It is u c l A.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: And you know, there's a lot of different ways to
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: look at this, and I think.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: All can be true. Like of what we say, it
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: is just one game.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: It was u C l A.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: But there definitely was some different things that happened this
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: game and to where I mean I wash a little
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: bit probably shocking and surprising. I'm not sure why it
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: should be. But the biggest thing that I saw was
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: we stepped up and played hard.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: And I mean that's that to me is a credit.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: To the the program on where it's at and not
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: folding when when there's a lot of maybe adversity right
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: now for different reasons. It just shows that we've we've
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: we've taken a step forward, I guess too, overcome some
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: of those things. And I think it's a step right,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: It's not, it's not for me it's not, well, we
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: can't overreact, and I guess what that's what podcases are
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: kind of four, and I guess fans in general and
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the overreactions have already started, obviously, But I do think
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: it's it's a step, it's a first. I don't know
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: next step. But there's two more games left. I think
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: that's the big thing. And and UCLA was the easier
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: opponent right with and obviously we're talking a lot about
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: TJ and this offense without Dylan, But I'm just gonna
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: stay in general with this program too, of where where
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: it's at and where the belief and concepts and thoughts
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: are moving forward. There's still two more games of the season,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: and yes, we could sit here and talk and we'll
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: probably get a little bit to it about the future
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: of Nebraska football after this year. But I do think
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: it's important to notice where we're at now because things
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: there's gonna change, obviously in today's college football world, from
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I mean in season two, but from one season to
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the NeXT's gonna look very, very, very different. And we
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: could say here and talk about that every episode and
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: for a long time on what we think and at
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: nauseum about that. But I also think we need to
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: appreciate and really and where we're at now and what
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: this season, what this game meant first off, and then
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: you know where it leads us to think for the
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: rest of the year in year three under Matt rules,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: that's how I want to tackle today a little bit
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: is try to keep it but the game focused a
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: little bit because there's a lot of things in the
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: game that I think were very good. But then also
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: just for the rest of the season, like what that
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: means for our bye week Penn State and Iowa and
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: then heading into a bowl game at the end of
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: the year. That kind to bring up with his name
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: right from the beginning, he just has to do it.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, that's that's the conversation piece from the game, right. Yeah.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: He looks really good the first half. I mean, he
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: looked at the game. He just I don't know, I know,
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: you're gonna come out really high on I thought he
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: didn't really have to do a whole lot. You only
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: had eight passes in the first half.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: You don't have to you know, you don't.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: You do not have to win that when when when
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: the philosophy and the system is designed around that, you
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: don't have to. I don't there's no nothing necessary needed
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: to do. And again it's U c l A. We'll
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: see if it works.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: It works when the team is one of the worst
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: running defense teams in the Big Ten. Yeah, against Iowa
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: and Penn State that it's not gonna be the case.
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: I think there's there's a lot of people that need
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: credit for this win, but Dana Dan needs a lot
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: of credit for being able to change the offense like
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: he did in just one week, Like come out there
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: and have the offense one like that.
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: There wasn't really any terrible places at all. I can
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: remember from the offensive side of the ball.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: You're gonna say that was our best offensive game from
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: a flow standpoint, easily take.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Out both switching hunt until the third quarter or something
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: like that. Yeah.
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: Since since Dane has been here, though, it's like you said,
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: full of wise, it seems like the offense every game,
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: the offense always has about.
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: A quarter or a quarter and a half where it's
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: just chopping.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and that didn't happen this game.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: And I think the best part about it that I appreciated.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Now you don't complete a couple of passes and you're pissed.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: But the closing drive to end the game with four
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: minutes to go, Like we've talked about closing games out
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: and yes, to this game get more hairy than it
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: needed to.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Yes you could. We could sit here and talk about
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: that forever too.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: But we actually got the ball up a touchdown, didn't
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: give you cla a chance to tie it, and ran
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: the clock out and involved completing a couple of passes
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: that TJ TJ made And at the same time, you know,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Dana called those plays and if again, if you don't
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: complete those passes, you go, what the hell is that?
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Like, make him use it time out earlier, run the ball.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: But we did, and that's what matters.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: And we were able to run the clock out and
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: take three knees to end the game with the ball it.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: You haven't seen that, so that that to me was
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: a big positive or a big sign for the this
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: offense in general. And Dak, I agree with you a lot.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Dana does get a lot should get a lot of
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: credit for this. And I've heard a lot of talk
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: about his play calling, his system, his design, whatever that
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: is with different quarterbacks, and I don't really care. I
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: just I'm looking at more of the flow in general
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: and the comfortability nature of it. We threw more slants
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: this game. We obviously had some screens. We threw the
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: ball downfield some but like we didn't see some of
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: those ever.
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: Like it's it's it's kind of on the side too,
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: like where's that been all year too?
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: Like look at that, I don't.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Because a little bit of game script.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: It's a little bit of game script, right, Like we
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: had the lead, like Austin said, we didn't have to.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: But to me, that's that's the game script you should
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: have in every game if it works.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: And yeah, right like that, that's what it should look
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: like if if you're in that position.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Now we're not.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: We always aren't in that position, and you could be
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: playing from behind, and yeah, it does look different, but
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: you know you don't want to get to that point.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean when em it can get five yards
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: to carry easy, it seemed like every every time you
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: touch the ball, you don't you don't have to get creative,
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: you just you just have to make easy, high percentage plays.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: And that's thanks for bringing it up, because we've gotten
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: this along without even saying his name.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, come on, guys, it is we got something special,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: like he's.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately the other topic is going into next year's he's
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: probably not going to be here because he's going to
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: go to the draft.
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: I don't get that check. But got Hunter he might stay.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: And that's a very loaded question, right, like obviously paying
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: money to keep him here.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: But I think it's a little bit more than that.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: When if you are looking at an NFL career, you
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: know your shelf life of a running back in the
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: NFL is limited to begin with.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: The salary of a running back in the NFL is
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: also limited.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's what's that. That's the conversation again in
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: the next year. You want to talk about money and
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: how to navigate this thing with and just to be Frank, Dylon, Emmett,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: TJ and Dana right like, and I included coaches in
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: there too, like you have this money to allocate and
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: obviously with high named players and I'm gonna throw a
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: fifth one in there, offensive lineman. And I'm not going
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: away from that, like just because we looked good and
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: didn't give up a sack today like that, that's still
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: the number number one most important position that we need
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: to be allocating resources to.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: So don't. People can't.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: I haven't heard anybody talk about the offensive line this.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: Week because because the running game looked great.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: But that still needs to be the number one focus
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: in the offseason, and if we don't, it's concerning for
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: the future.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Still For me, which is it?
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: I did not play football. Sorry the listeners, who that's
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: you know fifty values? My opinion?
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: I didn't either.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: Is it easier to my assumption is an alignment it's
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: easier to block for runs because you're in total control
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: of what you you know exactly what you need to do.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: You're not You're working with what's in front of you
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: and not what's behind you. Yeah, that's a fair assumption.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: So in theory, a game where you run the ball
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: thirty nine times compared to fifteen passes, it should it
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: should be an easier game plan for a worse offensive line.
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: Well, run I think, is you just gotta go find
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: a guy and hit him like it's right.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying, is you're working with the guy
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: in front of you and not the one behind you.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: I guess it's maybe a simple way to put it.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: I didn't play offensive line either, But to me, it's
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: just it's two different types of blocking. Yeah, I think
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: it is all still very schematic based, and I know
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: there's very different types of run scheme blocking that different
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: teams utilize, whether it be they call it a zone
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: and man blocking. I mean past pro I would say,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: is a little bit more coordinated communication to make sure
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: that everybody's accounting for on the blitz, and that's where
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: you see quarterbacks calling out protection and different guys blitzing
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: because you got to make sure everybody's hat on a hat.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: But at the same time, yeah, I mean you're you're
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: to me, run blocking is more fun because it's like
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: I get to go kill somebody versus I'm protecting somebody.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: That that that maybe is kind of what you're saying,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: is you're you're trying to bury someone versus trying not
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: to get buried. So yeah, maybe, yeah, I.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: I was just a thought I had while watching the
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: game because that's the offensive line like good again, one
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: of the worst running defenses running defenses in the league.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: So there's there's a reason.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: And I'm glad we utilize that and ran Emmett as
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: much as we can. And and I've heard very very
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: wide opinions on Emmett and his usage from everybody, I
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: mean from fans and even Dana mentioned it Thursday in
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: his coaches press conference on.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: We can't keep giving him at the ball.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: He doesn't believe that he's.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: I think that's maybe a message to the players to
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: get other guys to step up.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: But guys, we just we don't have it.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: We don't have the other running backs right now that
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: are even comparable to Emmett. And when Emmett looks like
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: he does, give him the ball thirty times, and and yes,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: is there a chance that he gets injured because of
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: over usage, Yes there is.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: There's always that. We've been saying that since Game one
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: of Cincinnati, like, come on, run, run him out and
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: use him while we have him.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: And yes, if that leads to potentially him getting hurt,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: then then that so be it. But we we cannot
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: play scared of guys. We said that even with Dylan
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: running the ball. I still believe you can't play scared
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: with running the ball with anybody.
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Am I saying that your starting quarterbacks would go and
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: try to truck people every time? No, But but you
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: can't play scared of injury in any sport if if
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: you if you start playing scared of an injury, that's
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: when injuries usually happened. So I've got to get thirty
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: touches last two games, and I think he will and
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: he's a dude for doing it. It's awesome, like it
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: it's impressive. And I've heard the Heisman thrown out.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: Like getting getting an invite, not winning, but getting an
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: invite to New York.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: He is in the I think the All Big and
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: should be All Big Ten first team with what he's
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: done and potentially in the All American conversation. I do
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: think that we just look at pure numbers, but then
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: also the impact that he has on this team, Like it's.
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: Like you you can say he's the he's the best
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: running back Big ten, like pretty confidently right now.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the Wreckers guy is probably the second best.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: Et I'm trying to.
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: Think, yeah, uh, I can't think anyone else, but yeah.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: He's Haines from Michigan. He had a little run there.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: I definitely seem like Isaiahs like it's not even you
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: know the time about can't just keep you it to
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: I mean isa Mozy only had one carry the whole game,
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: Like it's not. It's not like we're testing it out
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: like it's not working. It's like you give a guy
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: one carry and you're like, but.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: I'm but my thought is and this and just go
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: back to they see it in practice, they see the difference.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: I agree, And we saw the different We see the
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: difference in those one or two snaps.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: It just looks so much different, slower. Uh.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: So the game's not a time to freaking test out.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Can these other backs do that's not the time to
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: do it. I mean maybe against Houston Christian and accurate
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: it is, but not against these big ten teams.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: You can't waste to carry. I'm not calling it a waste,
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: but to me, that's not it's not.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: They know what they know, They see it, and that's
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: why Emmitt's getting the carries that he's getting because he's
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: that much better than these other two. Not saying the
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: other two are bad by any means, but Emmitt's just
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: really freaking good right now. So give him the ball
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: as much as we can.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: That's how we're gonna have to win games, and that
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: is how we should win games.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: That's I think the style that you want to be. Now,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: you got to do that with the masterisk because of
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: the offensive line. But when you play a team like
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: UCLA with the offensive line we have it, it's gonna
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: look pretty damn good.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: And it did. We only had four people catch passes,
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: four people run the ball, and two of the Beneva
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: Johnson was one of each, so I mean there was
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: not a lot of people touched. I mean, you know,
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: but getting kind of stole that a little bit in
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: the second half. But we also changed how we were
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: playing because we had a big lead.
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: Linda, I didn't have a catch, did he Nope? Yeah?
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: No, Yeah. So of the four people who ran the ball,
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: only two you know and Heyer Carberg each only had
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: one each. So really we had you know, five man
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: offense operating out there.
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: Playing basketball or football.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: I think that's okay, though I think coaching staff and
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Dana is very guilty of it. I think people get
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: so caught up in getting guys touches, and I get
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: we live in a little bit of different society where.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: You gotta keep them happy, keep them.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Happy, but at the same time, right, if you get
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: the right guys in your program that are team focused
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: and not worried about their individual stuff, I know it's
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: hard if you get the right mindset into your players
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: that know, we care about the team's performance and the
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: win and quit worrying about your individual stats and your numbers.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Like I'm saying that because it's not easy to do,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: but the right type of players and the good coaches
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: can get your program to think that way. And I
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: just think it's it's a little it's kind of an
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: excuse for saying, well, we got to get this guy
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: the ball, and go get this guy the ball, and
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: their reasoning is that, well, it makes it harder regard.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: I get that it does when you have multiple guys
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: that can do multiple things. But if you don't have
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: the multiple guys, then you don't need to worry about
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: getting the multiple guys of ball.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: And that's why I don't think we need to get
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: the ball.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: To moz And and Nelson, all the people that we
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: were excited about going into the year.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Like get them the ball, get the get those top
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: four or five guys of ball, and that's fine. We
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: don't need to Heiner Harberg, I you know, great, great guy.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: We don't need to get him three catches a game.
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: That why, Like, yeah, it's past past the point is
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: testing stuff out like you just got to.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: It's a belief and you're in what you have.
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah, which comes back to again, where's it's been all year?
• 18:03
  Speaker 6: But we can We'll just be happy this podcast, all right,
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: great win that we don't not worry about where it's
• 18:09
  Speaker 6: been all year?
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it does. It makes you a little more frustrated.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: But to your point, Daca, about you know why we
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: haven't looked this way and specifically why does it look
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: so bad at times?
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Part of that's just growth and development throughout a season
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: as part of it. And yeah, you wish you could
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: look like you wish you could have your best best
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: performance in game one. Maybe you don't, but but rule
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: said it all along. You want to be playing your
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: best football by the time you get to November. And
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: that's where we're at. We obviously played, We've got to
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: win November. Now we have two more opportunities to do that,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: so we're learning still. It's also year three to just
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: to show to show out and perform and prove that
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: we are taking steps forward, and I think we did.
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: Also, where where has it been all year? There's there's
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: one big change of this game and it's the quarterback position.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: So let's not act like the twenty eight points has
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: been untouchable all year. Our offense has not been totally
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: stigmant all year.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: No, No, and that's not what we're we're saying. And
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: this is not a this is not a Hunter'sarberniki bias offense.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: This is a take I have heard from every podcast
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: that I've listened to recap that our offense this game
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: was the most efficient, the best flow, everything about it
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: was better than what we've seen throughout this year so far.
• 19:42
  Speaker 6: And and there's there's one big reason on that too.
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: What's kind of killed the offense this year? Zero sacks? Yeah, like, no,
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: no sacks.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: That killing that dr doesn't drop back, you can't get sacked.
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah, there's that and that and that's what kills all
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: these flows of the or all seasons. When Kinley's flows
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: is usually it felt like a sack of drive at least.
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: And when you're second and twenty, you can't you're screwed already.
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: So that's that's you drive.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: I mean, we didn't have any penalties, we didn't have.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Any turnovers, clean play calling, we said that was very good.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: And yeah, we're we're gonna talk about just a quarterback
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: play in general. On the Tief and Austin. I'm not
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: going to argue with you but Te first, Dylan this
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: whole podcast. But what I am gonna preface is, I
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: think the underlying reason why things look so good was
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: having a mobile quarterback with the ability to run.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: And there's a lot of reasons behind that.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying that TJ should be the exact future
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: yet for the program. I'm not saying that yet. Now
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: win our last two games, we can talk after Iowa,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: but because it is UCLA, it's the first look at it.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: A mobile quarter opens up so many things. And I'm
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: not saying a run first quarterback either, because we've gone
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: down that road. We've seen the Jeff Simms, the Heinrich Harberg's,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: the Chubb of Purties that can't throw it a lick okay,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: and we've seen the mobile complete mobile quarterbacks that doesn't
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: work either, Okay, But I think the ability to be
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: mobile in.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: The pocket and.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: I could and I'm going to list like ten or
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: fifteen reasons why that opened up our offense this week
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: and why it helped now again, I want to see
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: it against Penn State and Iowa too, to believe that
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: that's our future moving forward. But I do think play
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: calling is a lot easier. And guess what, we have
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: a second running back in the backfield now too. That
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: defenses from a defensive play caller standpoint. When the guy
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: back there can run and we can flip it on
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: Nebraska's defense with mobile quarterbacks because we see it on
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: the other side, it opens up a ton for your
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: offense as far as what defenses have to scheme and
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: prepare for. That's that is a I'm not saying the
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: tea first, Dylan, I'm saying general football. That's a true statement. Yeah, yeah,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying happen this week. The big, big reason
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: why our offense look that way and why we didn't
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: have to throw it because they couldn't stop a run game.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: So in your run game now includes a quarterback.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: And a guy that when when every time you come
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: out there and instead of when you have a zone
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: reader or handoff and defense can just almost guarantee and
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: assume the ball's going right there.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: To Emmett, you have to now be cautious on what
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: you're doing. Okay, when you're rushing the passer.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: You no longer can just pin your ears back and say, yeah,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: let's freaking get to him. You have to put on
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: contain a little bit and have that hat on, which
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: again Nebraska has seen that on the defensive side a
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: whole other thing too.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: You this is a concept thing that's also true.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: You can't play as much man coverage and just man guys,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: what a team's been doing to us.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: They've been hatting on hatt in us because they know
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: Dylan can't run.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Well, guess what when teams man coverage you and you
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: have a mobile quarterback, and those guys, those dbs and
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: those safeties, their eyes are not in the backfield at all.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: You're focused on a man.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: You can't play as much man coverage because that quarterback
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: when they see man coverage and if they don't have
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: their first or second read, they go, Okay, well I
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: got a whole bunch of green ahead of me and
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: I can do that. All of that stuff is a
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: concept thing for defensive coordinators that when a guy back
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: there can run, you're thinking when they can't run, okay,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: it's a lot easier to game plan for. And Dylan's
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: obviously a very elite passer, he's very very good at passing, but.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: He can't run. We've we've seen that time and time again,
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: even though he could.
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: This game kind of proved it, even though you didn't play,
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: proved the more he can't run. Like just Dylan didn't
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: play this game, deck I know, I said, I say,
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: he didn't play, but it proves out how much he
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: can't run. If the Kief is having that much running
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: room and stuff like.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: It doesn't prove that Dylan can't run. It We've known
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Dylan can't run. It shows that TJ cant run, which we.
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: Do, yeah, I which we can dive into it. The
• 24:18
  Speaker 6: main the main difference is between TJ and Dylan is
• 24:23
  Speaker 6: and I think this is it. Why did the online
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: look so much better this game.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: It's it's like, I'll say one thing, because I UCLA
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: and their rush defense was the worst. That's I mean
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: to me, that's a big part of it.
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: You can throw that in there too, but I think
• 24:38
  Speaker 6: it's because, like like even saying, the mobile quarterback, you
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: can't just t off all game and correct.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: And I think that that is another big part of
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: it too. I'm waiting for that to prove the point.
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: Here, you can't say it as a matter of fact
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: yet I'm.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Waiting which I'm saying that from just looking at quarterbacks
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: in general perspectives, Like I do think that's a big
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: reason we'll see against Penn State Nile and maybe maybe
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: they'll just tee off on us too, But I think that, Yeah,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: adding that element, it just helps your It helps the
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: entire entirety of the offense. When your quarterback has a
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: threat to run. That's that is the I listed three.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: I couldn't just from a schematic standpoint. There's so much
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: to it now. Like I said, you can't sacrifice being
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: able to throw the ball, And.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: I think that was the concern. Yeah, I think the
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: biggest difference this game was they're they're all mostly short passes,
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: they're all within you know, they're all basically under fifteen yards.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: Even our big passes were basically broken out plays create
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: you know, Emma Johnson is a big screenplay. And it
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: was basically if TJ, if his first tread wasn't there,
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: he's going. Whereas Dylan he he takes a little bit
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: more time, his first thread's not there. He waits, he
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: looks for a second read. What's back to his first.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: Read'st to me is that works?
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: That you only have there, you only had to run
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: it five times.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: And that's what we're creating, is that that part works. Guys,
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: we're giving Dylan. We've gave Dylan the reins to I
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: mean we said and the reins to run it like
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: an NFL quarterback, right like sometimes you don't need to
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: overdo it and and over complicate it, like give them
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: a couple of reads and if it's not there like
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: running and it opens up what we what what were
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: a lot of our passes.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: On this game play action and screens?
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: Well, guess what when you when you when you have
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: a mobile quarterback and you can get him outside the pocket.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: We've I've even said it, we need to get Dylan
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: outside the pocket more like yeap. When you do that,
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: it opens things up and the ability to run. But
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: if we're scared of Dylan getting hurt, if whatever that
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: reason is, we don't. We have not shown to do
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: that under Dylan. Now, maybe Dana was going to do
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: it with Dylan if you was healthy. I you know,
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: obviously you have the teeth this week. That's why our
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: passing game was I mean, he didn't miss a pass
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: for a long time, and yeah they were easy throws.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: But that's how to play football and win. In my
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: mind that you don't how many fades did we throw?
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: No, thank god, I don't know. There.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: We didn't have to.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Now maybe games we're gonna have to, but not not
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: not if you ever, if the game script goes like
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: that in every game. I'm not saying it will, but
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: it definitely could. Like you don't, that's how that's that's
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: that's how I always played for years and and they
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: win nine ten games every year, as Wisconsin used to play.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: That's how Minnesota plays like that.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: That to me is how you have to play to start,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: and a lot of all this is the base of
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: an offensive line. We we have just tried to I
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: think we've tried to overcomplicate stuff with Dylan a lot,
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: and that's been when our offense looks mucky. That's why
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: now it's looked good. It's looked good at times too,
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: but it has not looked this well flown flow through
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: an entire game. And I just think adding that mobilequarterback
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: is a huge piece of that. It's it's the number
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: one reason that that flow happened.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: But probably those number two. Number one is the worst defense,
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: one of the worst defense is in a big ten.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: And that's and that's why I'm caveating it. You gotta
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: I gotta see it still for more games before before
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: my mind.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: If it works against Penn State and Iowa, then you
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: have like I mean, it works against in Iowa. That's
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: the one where it's like, man, okay, correct, this is something.
• 28:31
  Speaker 6: Can you can you agree with me on this, Austin,
• 28:33
  Speaker 6: though I think counter does with this offensive line, with
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: how bad it is, the chief is the better option
• 28:39
  Speaker 6: than no.
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: I disagree. I think we didn't have to pass the
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: ball this game. In a game where we need to
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: pass the ball, I'd rather have we.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: So this is the give and take to what you're saying, Austin.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: The give and take is and I'm I like scales.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: I like putting on a scale of one to one hundred,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Dylan's probably a as far as a college quarterback, He's
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: probably in the eighties or nineties. On a passing from
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: a from just a accuracy, arm, talent, all of that,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: Dylan's probably an eighty to ninety. I would say his
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: rushing on a scale of zero to one hundred is
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: a for to all quarterbacks in college football.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: I'd give it a.
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: Ten ten, yeah, ten to twenty somewhere around TJ.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: I'd say right now, his ability to run from all
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks in college football is in the seventies probably is
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: where I would put him.
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: I haven't seen him running.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: From what we've seen.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: That's where I've seen him against the high seventies, and
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: then he ran it four five times this game, you know,
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: and I'm putting it.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: I'm putting in seven seven to eight, seventy to eighty.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: I would say is passing again for the same reason
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: we don't know, like we haven't seen him be tested.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna I'm gonna believe right now, I'm
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: gonna put him in around the fifty mar I don't
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: know that. But if Austin is one person to believe
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: that he's, you know, a horrible passer and he's like
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Jeff Simms and he's like a ten or fifteen passing.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: Same No, but I'm saying if that's if that's what
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: you think, Okay.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: If that's what you think, and some people think that
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: he's a horrible pass world, then I can easily see well.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, We've tried the running quarterback thing. It doesn't work.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking that it's better to have a quarterback in
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: a game like this, like Latif, who is not a
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: horrible passer, but he's got a very very He's worse
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: than Dylan for sure passing, but he's way better than
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: him at running the ball. It just your offense is
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: going to look a lot better than back to your
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: point with this offensive line one hundred percent, with an
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: average to below average offensive line, having a quarterback that
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: can run.
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: Is I agree with that much. But I just don't
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: think most of the next games we're not gonna get
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: twenty eight to seven in the third quarter. Like I know,
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: it's the perfect game, I don't think so. As And
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: when the fourth quarter came around and started to get
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: a little bit tighter and they had to make him
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: pass a couple of times, that's when they started missing passes.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: And that's what we'll see next couple of games.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: Right, But when it wasn't, I would I'll be curious, Austin,
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: what if we are What if we're up twenty one
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: to seven on Penn State in the third quarter.
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: And then then it's a different conversation. I'm not going
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: to take Yeah, like I said, the only grane at
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: five times is against one of the worst rushing defenses
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: in the league. And when when they weren't second and
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: four every down is that he had to start passing
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: the ball and it started to looking a little different.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: You've you've pulled up the brand of five times. I
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: I know stats are something, but.
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: I understand you're gonna I know you're gonna say perception.
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: They have the game plan for him to run and
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: he didn't have to run.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: The perception of his ability to run, regardless of how
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: many times he ran, the fact that he can run.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: And I mean that you see, like I knew he
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: could run going into the game. It's not like they thought,
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know, can this back? No, No, they knew
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: he was a better runner than Pastor. They knew that
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: going into the game. That perception, regardless of how many
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: attempts he had, that ability, I think helped the flow
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: of our offense. And so I yes, I you maybe
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: aren't as high on Maybe you're not at seventy or
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: eighty on him and running.
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: I've seen him do it against a good team. Yet
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: in a way like I mean UCLA's quarterback had how
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: many yards? Ninety yards on fifteen carries, you know, like
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: that's a sample like that's a good sample size for
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: me to be like, Okay, yeah, that dude can run.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I'll say this, this is maybe a
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: hot topic. I would take an Ico in a heartbeat
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: next year.
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: WHOA, Okay, I I think that's like it's I think.
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: No, I don't. I think that's not.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: Nico to me is a better TJ right now more
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: I shouldn't say better, a more proven TJ.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: He's a more.
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: Proven I agree with that.
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, I'm more proven.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: And TJ could end up being Nico potentially, like we
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: don't know that, but that he's not. Nico's got the
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: stature two of it.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: That's the thing.
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: Like I'm just not high on Nico. I'm I'm not.
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: I do not think.
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: I do not think.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: I will say this dact though you like you would
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: take TJ or Nico right now, right now, Jason, what you've.
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: Seen going in next season?
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: Yes, yep, yeah, I wouldn't.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: I would.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't do.
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: That, which which which that's probably hard to take them.
• 33:32
  Speaker 5: What you just said, but.
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: That Houston Christian game really really sticks to him.
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: I'm just not. I just don't think Nico is that
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: good as a pastor. I don't.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: And you think t J t J is, I get
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: I guess you could.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: I guess you can as a as a fan and
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: a podcast you can just assume that he is without
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: seeing it and you can do that.
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: You know, podcast. Yeah, TJ is a better pastor than
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: Ko and that that.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: You're right, it's still a lot proven and again we
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: can talk about next year all we want. I've heard
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: people have gone down that path, and that's what fans
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: are going to do. It's already going down. I've heard
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: someone say like t J Latif is the future Nebraska
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: and I'm gonna say and he's like, I'm gonna say
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: it because I can and I'm overreacting after one game,
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: but I'm gonna say it, and I'm not there.
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: Could he be Yes, what's your now? I don't know
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: if this was just Saturday talk, what's your what's your main? Ow?
• 34:28
  Speaker 6: I gonna says, what does Dylan have to do for
• 34:32
  Speaker 6: you to to have to be the quarterback next year?
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: Nebraska?
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: I don't think it's what does Dylan have to do?
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: It's what does TJ not have to do?
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: T A little bit, a little bit of it.
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: You're gonna be all in on TJ. But if TJ
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: comes out has three fumbles, you know, in the next
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: three games and three interceptions, and we lose both games
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: by seven or more points because our offense can't move
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: because he can't pass the.
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: Ball, and yeah, then then there's no players.
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: Have it returns to earth.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: I've a I talked to Jackson this morning and he
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: made a good point. He said, do you think Dylan
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: watches that game and goes a little bit like, huh,
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: Like that's what they want me to do? Like I
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: can do that like from just that.
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: Oh for sure. If he's like, if that's what you're
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: gonna like he because he can hit all of those
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: passes that.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: Well, right, if that's the philosophy, which I love that
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: philosophy of how we played, if Dylan does, do you
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: think Dylan, I hope Dylan watches that game and goes, Man,
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: if I can just be more mobile, that was our
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: offense can be really freaking Like, I hope he's.
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: Looking at that, and I hope I hope Dane a rule.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: I hope they all look at that and go, no, Dylan,
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: you need to lose twenty twenty five pounds next for
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: next year. And to me, if Dylan does that, I texted,
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: I Canmera texted you guys, I think I did. Dylan
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: will be a Heisman Trophy front runner in my mind
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: if he loses twenty twenty five pounds and is able
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: to move. I'm not saying like Latif, but like move
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: from a ten to twenty in that scale of one
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: hundred to like a forty. Okay, Dylan will be such
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: an elite quarterback, elite, elite, elite in college football if
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: he doesn't. And we thought he was gonna do that
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: this year, we thought we were told he looks better.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's he.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Moved from a from a zero two in the pocket
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: to a three, from being able to be a lousive,
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: it's got it got better. But like this much it
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: like that that to me should hopefully be obvious to them.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: But but what I'm scared of is if Latif looks
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: eh and man, we lose our last two games, maybe
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: we go win our bowl game. Like We're obviously gonna
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: stick with Dylan and we're going to roll him back
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: out and as is when I think there's a little
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: bit of hopefully signs that know, having good and bad
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: from earlier in the year of not having a mobile
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: quarterback to seeing maybe what some mobility can do to
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: an offense. Hopefully that's a sign. And do we take
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: an initiative on that with Dylan. I Dylan in his
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: current stature in state and Dak you made a great point,
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: he's gonna be in a freaking cast.
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: And yeah, all I'm gonna say is not do shit
• 37:13
  Speaker 5: really easy?
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: How long?
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: Really easy to put on Dylan, if you're listening, really
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: easy to put on weight when you're in a cast.
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: So I'm just saying, don't eat, don't eat, beat k
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: McDonald's all that way you're walking in this cast, like,
• 37:24
  Speaker 5: eat healthy. From experience, it's really easy. You can put
• 37:30
  Speaker 5: on seventy Patin's real quick in a cast. So so
• 37:33
  Speaker 5: just be careful for the next six weeks or however
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: long you're in a cast. Eat healthy.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: And I also heard people talking about Dana saying Dana
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: is much more comfortable with a dual threat quarterback because
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: that's what he's used to and he likes to call
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: plays that way, and part of me is, I maybe
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: you agree with that. But what what's weird is there's
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: a fine line of building your offense around Dylan because
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: of Dylan's skill set and capabilities. And I think that's
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: what Dana has been trying to do. And then now
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: you have a different set of skill set quarterback, so
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: now you do something different. I don't think that there's
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: a that this was Dana's offense. This is what Dana's
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: offense looks like. We said that with Dylan too. I
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: think it's just your ability to adjust with the type
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: of quarterback you have back there. We just look so
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: much more comfortable this week because of all those things
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: that said earlier, with a with a with a mobile quarterback,
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: and I think that helps. It just adds another element
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: to your offense and in numerous ways. And Dylan doesn't
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: have that yet, but I hope it opens some brain
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: cells that, man, we need to have a little bit more.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: Or on the flip side, spend five to ten million
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: on offensive linemen because I think Dylan would be a
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: Dylan would be in the Heisman Trophy frontrunner list too
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: if he played for Alabama.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: And or Georgia and or some he would he would
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: be because we don't.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: We're not we're gonna have one the line, but to
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: the skill players around him for that, that's.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: What we have right now.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: And so that's where I'm like, I don't, I don't
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: know like our current offensive line State and Dylan and
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: it's not it's not here, it's not meshed.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: And that that answers what kind of your question earlier
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: to me and how I feel about that.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: But again, Penn State in Iowa are gonna tell us
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: a lot too, because there are two programs that are.
• 39:31
  Speaker 5: Right. Yeah, I was scary, I will can we all
• 39:36
  Speaker 5: agree on this right now?
• 39:37
  Speaker 6: Like I've asked a couple of things, I don't think anyway,
• 39:40
  Speaker 6: come out, come out of game. There's no shot hell
• 39:43
  Speaker 6: both these Dylan and Lookie from the roster next year, right.
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't say no shot in hell, but I had
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: the same thought. I was like, if TJ comes out
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: looks good, one of those probably transferring.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, even if doesn't look good the last two games,
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: I still think it's going to be hard to retain
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: a guy like That's I'm sorry, you can't.
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: You can't spend a ship ton of money on two quarterbacks.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: No, go spend it on offensive lineman for sus spending
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: it on two quarterbacks.
• 40:16
  Speaker 6: And there's other reasons too why I can't. Not just
• 40:18
  Speaker 6: money wise, you can't. You can't just have two quarterbacks
• 40:21
  Speaker 6: like that. And you can't be.
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: Paying a guy.
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: You can't be paying a guy two million dollars send
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: the bench.
• 40:26
  Speaker 6: No, And people are me calling for the other person's name,
• 40:28
  Speaker 6: all like, you just can't have that.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: So you're right, I don't know where this will go
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: next year. And then, like I said, I don't want
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: to speculate, but I just think it's going to be
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: hard to pay. Then you talk about paying Emmett, which
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: I think that could be a lost cause, but.
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: You never know.
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: And then paying coordinators and paying I think I'm paying
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: offensive lineman. That's to me still most important thing.
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: And then we have.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: So that But that to me is where rule is right.
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: And he sees it.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: He's talked about the four forty million dollars roster in
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: the extra. He sees all that, and he knows that
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: you need that kind of capital to compete with the
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: top of the top and the best of the best,
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: which I'm glad he still is seeing that vision and
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: thinking of that vision, because that that's where we want
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: to get to.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: That's what that's glory.
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: Will add. We haven't talked about it at all, but
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: it's a good thing. I got a twenty eight to
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: seven because our defense did not look great. Basically, it
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: just didn't look great. They weren't bad, they were fine.
• 41:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah they yeah, Okay, I say yeah.
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: But if they you know, if UCLA has one more
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: you know on that fourth and one where they called
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: that weird run play instead of just running it up
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: the middle, it becomes it's a different conversation. So you're
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: not talking about You're still the offense still looks good,
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: but then you're talking on something else. Yep.
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: Defense has been a weird conversation too. I I I don't.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: I don't have actually too many strong opinions of it,
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: which is why we haven't talked about it yet. I've
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: heard people that like our callers after the game, calling
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: for John Butler's head even after that game and think
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: he's think he's not that far and then and then
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: I've heard the opposite of give John Butler all the
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: credit in the world, and he's one of the top
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: defensive or one of the top coordinators in the Big Ten.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, I've heard such a spectrum of what people
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: think of John Butler in this defense.
• 42:32
  Speaker 6: That right down the middle, right down the middle of
• 42:34
  Speaker 6: what you just said, Yeah.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: It's fun, I mean that it's fanned, it's overreacting to
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: it all. It's some people think that he's horrible at adjusting.
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: Some people think that because we've held eight straight opponents
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: I think it was eight or nine under maybe it
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: was more in that I don't even know what the
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: statu is under four hundred yards of total offense. Like
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: people said, that's the first time we've done that since
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: like nine I think in that deep or O ten
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: or ten with suit and those guys like that's also
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: people are pointing out the positive.
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: I don't they said, it's just something like it started
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: to look a little sour there at the end with
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: the yeah.
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: There's there's good.
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of good things like, but yeah, there's
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: And Butler said this after or maybe before the Cincinnati game,
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: about making sores be a look like a high school quarterback,
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: which is what Nico ended up being. By the end
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: of that game, it just it was all right, like
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: go try Nico, go try to win you that game
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: running it for like being just a stud, and he
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: tried to and he did, had a lot of obviously
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: good first down runs and making our tacklers look stupid
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: at times. But at the same time, he never broke one.
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: He never made elite plays where it won on the game.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: So it it.
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: Just was a yeah, it got closer than you would
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: have liked it to. A couple of those drives were
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: like four team play. The one drive I think was
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: a fourteen playing ninety six yard drive.
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: And I came long just of the year for you
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: to like UCLA's too. Longest drives of the year were
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: in the second half.
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: Maybe it was Michigan that had a ninety eight yard
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: drive or someone early on, I can't remember who it
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: was in Big Ten play, like those things go a
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: little bit like like you wish.
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: That would happen.
• 44:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I didn't walk out that game's thing, John Butler
• 44:23
  Speaker 5: should be fire. That's didn't either.
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: I just it's just an interesting like when UCLA called
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: that terrible fourth in one was because they were moving
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: the ball really well and they called some weird not
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: r like if they had just ran out of the middle,
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: they probably would have gotten it because they were just
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: moving it on us at e With these I was
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: just like, man, if they get this, I think they're
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: probably going to go down and score because they're pretty
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: freaking close. And then I think gets tight. Then that's
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: when your freshman quarterback gets put in a position where
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: they has to do something and he hadn't had to
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: do anything yet. Yeah, it all worked out, that's all hypothetical.
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: But I was just like, yeah, it's just a weird
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: feeling with the defense where it's like, I don't feel
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: good about you, but I don't have a reason to
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: feel bad about you yet.
• 45:07
  Speaker 6: But I'm I'm not sol long John Butler, I don't.
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: I won't say. I'm like, I'm not saying he's perfect,
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: but I can't. It's tough to criticize the defense when
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: you you're seven and three and yeah, you know, one
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: of those losses was definitely an offensive and UCLA you
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: held the best offense in the country relatively, You're sorry,
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: USC and then you know the Minnesota game, your offense
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: was absolutely abysmal. So I was like, well, it's not
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: really the defensive Bault, but guys, they don't make it
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: easy easy. I don't know, it's just interesting.
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: Here's what I still think is the core why Let's
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: say this our defense last game against USC. From number perspective,
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: you mentioned the number one offense, I pretty damn good
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: performance just from overall this game. You know, again, not glamorous,
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: but not horrible like I thought we can. We played
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: their receivers very well. Quarterback run game obviously was still
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: an issue. But I thought overall again, okay, where I
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: just still think the problem wise is same with the offense,
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: is upfront plugging the holes and guess what, Penn State
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: and Iowa are going to try to exploit that to
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: the death, just like Minnesota did.
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: And that's where do we have an answer for that?
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: Like U, C, l A and USC aren't those type
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: of teams, so that maybe is why it's looked the
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: way it did. Michigan State and Northwestern want to.
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: Be Iowa's and Penn State's type of office, but they're
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: not quite as good at it. So we're able to
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: do enough to win those games. Minnesota obviously broke that barrier. Uh,
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: Penn State and Iowa, we're going to see a team
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: like that again, So that to me is where the
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: problem lies. And I think that just comes down to
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: a lack of having a like, who's who is our
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: best defensive player right now?
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: Do you have an answer?
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: I mean, sire right.
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: Maybe that's what's hard is you don't there's not a
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: clear cut answer. There's no one vocal point Singleton. I
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: don't know, like it's hard to it's hard to say.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: And in the past few years or when your defense
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: is really good, guess what you can name who your
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: best players and guess where they play.
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: The defensive line.
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: So that to me is where it's that's the issue
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: And and I think myself included, I was out of
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: any of us three, I thought Riley van Poppa was
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: going to be that dude to step up and impress people.
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: He really hasn't.
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: It's Zack or how do you pronounce the name.
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: The pitch shock? However you say, yeah, Pinchock.
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: I don't. I'm not from a Polish area of Nebraska.
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: He looks really good last couple of games.
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: Yes, and we've had some other guys step and Dylan
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: George came in and played some big minutes of this
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: game as well. Uh So, we've had some different faces.
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: I think that's just because I think we're we're trying
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: to find guys that can do that job and do
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: it well. Elijah Judy's been there, but it's not like
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: he's been Williams is still to me too tiny and
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: small and like he's not big enough yet.
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: So we are young, and I'm not We're not gonna
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: make that an excuse.
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: But at the same time, that's the missing part of
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: the defense.
• 48:47
  Speaker 5: Up front.
• 48:47
  Speaker 6: So uh, I got I got a little bit on Ucla.
• 48:55
  Speaker 6: Don't you go, Jack, Don't you guys feel horrible for
• 48:58
  Speaker 6: all those fans that UCLA have after that loss like
• 49:02
  Speaker 6: we had.
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: They're having a good time. They knew what they were therefore,
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: like honestly, like they were down twenty eight to seven
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: and they were still out there having a good time.
• 49:09
  Speaker 6: But all those the ball, all those five thousand fans
• 49:13
  Speaker 6: they had.
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the final tally was, but I
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: think you can say with certainly there were more Nebraska
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: fans in UCLA.
• 49:22
  Speaker 6: It was the most attended game I saw, which which
• 49:25
  Speaker 6: is insane because that was like half full.
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: But I think they got somewhere in the fifty thousands
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: is what I heard, And I mean think the estimated
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: was that twenty five thousand Nebraska fans there.
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: My uncle was at the game.
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: You said ten minutes before the game, there were probably
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: fifteen to twenty thousand in there, and fifteen thousand win
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: Nebraska fans like so obviously UCLA fans filled in, and
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: I think you just see that with some of those
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: that they have so much other stuff going on, and
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: when you don't, when you're mediocre to blow average, you did,
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: you don't care. Obviously, Nebraska fans, we know how we
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: how we are and I don't think anybody surprised.
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: That's the way the stadium looked. It's it's still cool,
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: it's still meat every time you see it, but it's
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: not a surprise anymore that that's what happens on those games.
• 50:14
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that I would like to give a shout out
• 50:17
  Speaker 6: to the UCLA care team. Very good performance out there.
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: There's one snap oh it was our first touchdown that
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: Daklory Barney review.
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: It is just drooling over over the backdrop.
• 50:32
  Speaker 5: Of the Rosebull. Yeah.
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: So yeah, we have a bye week now, which I
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: think is you know, it's a good time to reset
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: and two games left, get healthy, try to get fresh
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: with as much as we can to go give our
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: last two games our best shot.
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: We said the past couple of episodes, we were kind.
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: Of looking at games and chunks and you know, after
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: that Minnesota game, are specifically going into the us USC.
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: I think I wanted to win three or four. Like
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: that's still on the table, even though we didn't beat
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: USC last week or two weeks ago. It's still there.
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: And you know, if you want to believe and have
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: a lot of faith that, like myself, that a running
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: quarterback can do that trick against better teams, then I have.
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: I'm excited for those two games. You know, it makes it.
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: Let's just say this, it's the most tuned in to
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: Husker football that I think all of us have been
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: because we have seven wins in November. Yeah, even though
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: there's no playoff implications, there obviously are some bowl games
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: where we even talked about at all.
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: And I heard some other podcasts talking about the locations,
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: which we'll get into at some point, but it's it's
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: a conversation that we can enjoy because we haven't had
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: that since this podcast has existed.
• 51:56
  Speaker 5: The locations. I've been here and it sounded like a
• 51:58
  Speaker 5: fun time.
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: I've heard like three or four. Which one are you
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: referring to?
• 52:03
  Speaker 5: Vegas, Nashville?
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've heard Vegas, Nashville, Tampa.
• 52:10
  Speaker 6: So other than that all around, but for well, well,
• 52:16
  Speaker 6: you were just gonna say, like, great, great weekend all
• 52:17
  Speaker 6: around for Nebraska sports.
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: That's true. We won volleyball, basketball, women's basketball, bristling.
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: What I was saying a big missed opportunity on Nebraska
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: athletics to have an all day experience at PBA starting
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: at noon ending at the end of the football game
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: between men's basketball, volleyball, women's basketball football. I have said
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: that during the basketball game that we went to and
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: I was like, man, this could have been a hell
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: of a day here, and you could. You could have
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: brought in some like food vendors and some different things
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: and different events and made it made it an all
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: day thing. Now, you don't know the times of all
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: those games early in advance, so there's probably some coordination things,
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: but it was. It was a very good weekend. Basketball
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: team cupboard again on Saturday against Florida International.
• 53:09
  Speaker 6: You know what screwed I'm gonna say about basketball team
• 53:12
  Speaker 6: because because you're not sold them yet I want to
• 53:13
  Speaker 6: make a bet on this podcast that they are going
• 53:15
  Speaker 6: to make the tournament. Basketball team is going to make
• 53:20
  Speaker 6: the NCAA tournament now.
• 53:21
