Speaker 1: Turner Glord podcast Hunters are but at Kostin Rose noted coda,
0:21
Speaker 1: we'll have some more news on that maybe at some point.
0:28
Speaker 1: Nebraska falls twenty one seventeen to usc I Austin. I'll
0:36
Speaker 1: tell you what I've done in the last twenty four hours,
0:41
Speaker 1: nothing like as far as thinking about the game, reading stuff,
0:44
Speaker 1: listening to stuff.
0:47
Speaker 2: Sometimes the twenty four hour rule. Have you ever heard
0:52
Speaker 2: of that?
0:53
Speaker 1: When when something happens and you just give yourself some
0:55
Speaker 1: time just to digest that. I usually I will read stuff,
1:00
Speaker 1: and we are recording Sunday night versus Monday morning this week.
1:05
Speaker 1: Usually I'll like listen or read stuff whatever informs my
1:09
Speaker 1: opinions and thoughts. I'll be honest, I haven't. I've just
1:13
Speaker 1: stayed away.
1:14
Speaker 3: From it all unfiltered Hunter here.
1:18
Speaker 1: I've got through the initial emotions, so now I've had
1:21
Speaker 1: some time to gather my thoughts. Opportunity missed is all
1:28
Speaker 1: I gotta say. That's gonna be the title of the podcast.
1:33
Speaker 1: That's the thing I keep coming back to is what
1:36
Speaker 1: an opportunity for this program to take advantage of a situation.
1:45
Speaker 2: To take the next step.
1:47
Speaker 1: And we've obviously had a lot of these in the past,
1:49
Speaker 1: not saying this is the first one, but this to
1:52
Speaker 1: me felt like the biggest one given everything that was
1:56
Speaker 1: going on, and we had it and we didn't.
2:02
Speaker 2: Capitalize on it.
2:03
Speaker 1: And I'm not going to make excuses for some of
2:05
Speaker 1: the things that happened, because there are a lot of
2:07
Speaker 1: things that did happen that we'll get into in this game,
2:10
Speaker 1: but at a high level, we didn't win the game,
2:15
Speaker 1: and it just feels like a huge opportunity that could
2:20
Speaker 1: have been taken advantage of if we would have won,
2:22
Speaker 1: and things would be looking very, very different.
2:26
Speaker 2: For this program right now. How do we won the game?
2:31
Speaker 3: Yep? I again, as you know, as I approach thirty,
2:37
Speaker 3: I guess that's when you start watching things on tape delay.
2:41
Speaker 3: I had a wedding last night in Des Moine that
2:43
Speaker 3: I had to go not had I got to go to,
2:46
Speaker 3: so I did not. I did not watch the game
2:48
Speaker 3: until this morning at seven am time change. But I
2:51
Speaker 3: did watch it at seven am this morning. I told
2:56
Speaker 3: my wife though last night at the the wedding, is
3:00
Speaker 3: has anyone spoiled the game for you yet? And it's
3:02
Speaker 3: like I haven't gotten a single text, which means we
3:04
Speaker 3: lost close because I know, if we blew them out,
3:09
Speaker 3: there's gonna be celebration texts. And we got absolutely destroyed,
3:12
Speaker 3: there would be morning texts. But the close losses is
3:14
Speaker 3: just like, I don't even want to talk about this.
3:18
Speaker 3: I guess first, before we get into the game, I
3:20
Speaker 3: agree with the missed opportunity. We'll talk about the specifics
3:23
Speaker 3: of what happened.
3:24
Speaker 1: In the game.
3:25
Speaker 3: Overall, I thought at times we looked very impressive defensively,
3:32
Speaker 3: and then there are a lot of times on defense
3:34
Speaker 3: we did not look very impressive and offensively Similarly, I
3:37
Speaker 3: guess before we get into it one, I thought the
3:43
Speaker 3: Blackout was executed well, very well as far as the stadium,
3:51
Speaker 3: I'm not turning on the light aight, and the towels
3:53
Speaker 3: and the you know, the back in black. And I
3:59
Speaker 3: don't know how well losing this game bodes for the
4:01
Speaker 3: future of Flackout games, but I think we'll try it
4:05
Speaker 3: again next year. But I did think it was executed
4:09
Speaker 3: very well. Good on you, Husker fans. I've I've doubted
4:11
Speaker 3: you and your abilities for a long time to que
4:14
Speaker 3: the coordinate outside of wearing Husker red.
4:17
Speaker 2: Thank you for saying that, because that was my first
4:19
Speaker 2: thing before the game.
4:20
Speaker 1: I wanted to call that out before I start going
4:22
Speaker 1: on whatever path I go down here.
4:27
Speaker 2: It was. It was very neat. It was very like
4:29
Speaker 2: you said, well executed.
4:31
Speaker 1: I still think people had their doubts of, oh, there's
4:33
Speaker 1: gonna be still twenty percent Husker red in the stadium
4:37
Speaker 1: or whatever that number was, and I'm like, I don't
4:39
Speaker 1: think so, I really don't like this. And the more
4:41
Speaker 1: you just the day went on, the more black you
4:45
Speaker 1: saw and no red, and if it was any red,
4:47
Speaker 1: it was a USC fan and I'm just like, it's like,
4:50
Speaker 1: this is going to be electric. And walking into the game,
4:53
Speaker 1: the student section, you know, saw some photos online before
4:57
Speaker 1: going in, but I mean it was it was us
5:00
Speaker 1: pitch black, and so you see some of the shots
5:05
Speaker 1: and everything afterwards, very very good. And take sports, take
5:10
Speaker 1: take everything about the game out of it, all, right,
5:13
Speaker 1: what are sports?
5:13
Speaker 2: Still? What are sports?
5:15
Speaker 3: It's entertainment.
5:17
Speaker 1: And while we do get I think caught up and
5:19
Speaker 1: caring and making it our life and our passion and
5:22
Speaker 1: and I'm very very guilty of myself going to the
5:27
Speaker 1: extreme of that in multiple aspects of my life, but
5:31
Speaker 1: it's still as pure entertainment and something like this is
5:34
Speaker 1: very cool when it's well executed from an entire program
5:40
Speaker 1: not talking anything about the game, but that it was
5:43
Speaker 1: neat to see. Now, take all that aside, I was
5:47
Speaker 1: what I wanted more. I'm gonna say that a little bit.
5:50
Speaker 1: I wanted a little more with like I wanted a
5:52
Speaker 1: moment where they shut everything off and just just let
5:57
Speaker 1: it sit for like everyone's like it.
5:59
Speaker 3: Would get and people just start to get start to
6:02
Speaker 3: get loud.
6:02
Speaker 1: And yeah, yeah, I don't It's not very obviously a
6:06
Speaker 1: hard thing to do. I felt like that could have
6:09
Speaker 1: been done at several points throughout, and they did do
6:12
Speaker 1: it like randomly in the first quarter, like after a
6:16
Speaker 1: timeout they shut everything off again and like then played
6:18
Speaker 1: some music and it was kind of cool, Like it
6:20
Speaker 1: wasn't third quarter style, but it was like a random point.
6:23
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, that was unexpected.
6:26
Speaker 1: I just also kind of felt like the crowd, the
6:29
Speaker 1: crowd was judged up in wild to start that first
6:32
Speaker 1: couple of drives.
6:33
Speaker 2: It just died off, like.
6:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I kind of noticed that as well.
6:40
Speaker 3: And now I obviously was as I was watching on
6:43
Speaker 3: you know, YouTube recording. YouTube TV recording was fast forwarding
6:47
Speaker 3: through some of the downtime but I noticed that as well.
6:51
Speaker 3: But well, when we scored that first touchdown after like
6:55
Speaker 3: the seven minute drive, I was like, oh man, Like one,
7:01
Speaker 3: I was terrified, you're gonna miss the extra point because
7:03
Speaker 3: if you missed that extra point, you killed every thing,
7:07
Speaker 3: you know. But we had the two three and outs
7:10
Speaker 3: and then we score that seven minutes or we had
7:13
Speaker 3: the three and out seven minute drive, three and out,
7:15
Speaker 3: and I was like, oh man, this place is gonna
7:18
Speaker 3: be freaking rocking all night. And then they're then they're like, oh,
7:23
Speaker 3: we're not gonna let Nebraska run, and we're gonna run
7:25
Speaker 3: the ball once it started giving it to the King Miller,
7:27
Speaker 3: like that third drive of Theirs where it's like, oh,
7:29
Speaker 3: eight yards, twelve yards, twelve yards, ten yards, six yards,
7:34
Speaker 3: it's like you could just hear it just oh.
7:37
Speaker 1: No, Like so, I I don't think it's specific to Nebraska. Obviously,
7:47
Speaker 1: every fan base gets juiced up at the start of
7:50
Speaker 1: the game just because it's all the adrenaline anticipation that
7:54
Speaker 1: it's not a Nebraska thing that that happened, but you
7:59
Speaker 1: just win that we could have just kept it going
8:01
Speaker 1: and it was ended up being a perfect night like
8:04
Speaker 1: it it was a little brisk, but.
8:06
Speaker 2: It was it was not cold.
8:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, it just it It felt like it was there
8:12
Speaker 1: for the taking, and I felt like the crowd could
8:15
Speaker 1: have it could we could have been better as as
8:18
Speaker 1: far as just keeping the energy level going throughout the game.
8:22
Speaker 1: And I do think that stems just the back to
8:26
Speaker 1: all of the traumatizing moments that we've had, and it
8:34
Speaker 1: just sucks, like it's no one's fault.
8:38
Speaker 3: Right, you don't blame people for being like, oh no.
8:41
Speaker 1: But but I also I also like the people that
8:44
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call the greatest fans in college football, like,
8:48
Speaker 1: we're still We're not.
8:49
Speaker 2: We're not. Last night was as close.
8:51
Speaker 1: As you're going to get to Nebraska fans being the
8:56
Speaker 1: the thirteenth man on the field, the thirteenth man, or
8:58
Speaker 1: the the the twelfth man or or the two man.
9:01
Speaker 3: Sorry.
9:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, the like having a being a hard place to
9:05
Speaker 1: play in a night, marriage place to play in a
9:09
Speaker 1: canning of the word, but being deafening all that, Like
9:11
Speaker 1: we just don't we still don't have that for whatever reason.
9:14
Speaker 1: We're not we're not the most intimidating place to play
9:17
Speaker 1: even with all this stuff. And I mean that that
9:21
Speaker 1: to me, I'm talking about the fans in general in
9:22
Speaker 1: the atmosphere, like it was very very good and well
9:25
Speaker 1: put on, but I just feel like it could have
9:28
Speaker 1: been more. And I also think it's it's it's a
9:33
Speaker 1: probatable a lot of things obviously, but I would I
9:37
Speaker 1: just wouldn't say that we're it's not still we need
9:40
Speaker 1: things still need to change. I think last night was
9:43
Speaker 1: a good example of something that we can do to
9:45
Speaker 1: help spark Memorial Stadium being a place that no one
9:50
Speaker 1: wants to come play in. But it's not like that anymore. Obviously,
9:53
Speaker 1: win games that helps fix that issue. But we we've
9:57
Speaker 1: now lost twenty nine in a row to ranked teams
10:02
Speaker 1: and that's just a fact.
10:04
Speaker 3: It's pretty impressive, really it.
10:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's my take on the crowd in the atmosphere.
10:09
Speaker 1: Like over overall, there, oh the game, where do we
10:14
Speaker 1: want to go?
10:15
Speaker 2: You mentioned the start?
10:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, it went about as perfect as a first quarter
10:22
Speaker 1: you could ask for, really, pretty close to as good
10:27
Speaker 1: of a first half as you can ask for. Even
10:29
Speaker 1: on their couple of drives that they had, we held
10:33
Speaker 1: them to field goals, which our red zone defense, as
10:37
Speaker 1: we know, has not been great.
10:40
Speaker 3: So even though there are a couple of times where
10:42
Speaker 3: we bailed them though, or they build they bailed us out.
10:46
Speaker 2: Correct.
10:46
Speaker 1: Even then, it felt like, Okay, we're still very much
10:50
Speaker 1: in control of this game. And from the get go,
10:53
Speaker 1: the first couple of drives Jade and Mayabba, and this
10:56
Speaker 1: is to the crowds credit, he was flustered. Yep, he
11:00
Speaker 1: was not comfortable at all. I would say we got
11:04
Speaker 1: a little bit of pressure and hurry on him. But
11:06
Speaker 1: it wasn't like it's still Nebraska's still our d line.
11:10
Speaker 1: It's not like it was anything that much noticeably different
11:12
Speaker 1: from past games. He just was panicked in the pocket
11:16
Speaker 1: and he did. One of the best quarterbacks in the
11:20
Speaker 1: Big Ten throwing the ball. He's shown that, and we
11:23
Speaker 1: held him to one hundred and thirty five.
11:26
Speaker 2: Yards nine of twenty four. Whatever he was like.
11:32
Speaker 1: Early on, I was like, okay, like this is the
11:35
Speaker 1: game plan, this is working perfectly. And then you're right
11:37
Speaker 1: usc said, okay, well, and Lincoln Riley said in his
11:40
Speaker 1: post game you're daring us to run it. Well, okay,
11:43
Speaker 1: let's run it. Let's run it. And they did, and
11:46
Speaker 1: they did again, and they did again, and it turned
11:49
Speaker 1: into a classic, grinded, pounded out Big Ten game.
11:56
Speaker 2: That we lost.
11:57
Speaker 3: It was funny because USC did toothy. We were daring
12:01
Speaker 3: them to run it, and then they started doing it,
12:04
Speaker 3: and then we came out. We're like, we're going to
12:06
Speaker 3: run the freaking rock and they're like, okay, well we're
12:08
Speaker 3: gonna dare you to pass it, and then we didn't.
12:13
Speaker 3: I you know, we'll talk about our offense, but yes,
12:15
Speaker 3: that's exactly what happened with it.
12:18
Speaker 1: So I just it's it's frustrating then that, yes, we've
12:24
Speaker 1: struggled to run the ball. I want to give us
12:26
Speaker 1: credit because what was USC strength.
12:28
Speaker 2: It was passing. We knew that coming in.
12:30
Speaker 1: We knew our strength a secondary and we said, okay,
12:33
Speaker 1: we'll beat us running the ball.
12:35
Speaker 2: They did, and they kept running it.
12:36
Speaker 1: And just this is where it's frustrating from a fans perspective,
12:41
Speaker 1: the lack of adjustments and that we can make in
12:44
Speaker 1: game to overcome that. USC made an adjustment, they realized
12:50
Speaker 1: what was going on, they adjusted, and then the rest
12:53
Speaker 1: of the game they got comfortable and did enough to
12:57
Speaker 1: win in a game that's not a game that they
13:01
Speaker 1: do not like to play that way, that is the
13:02
Speaker 1: opposite of a Lincoln Riley executed game. But the fact
13:06
Speaker 1: that they can still come out and win a game
13:07
Speaker 1: that speaks a lot to the type of game that
13:10
Speaker 1: it was, and that's.
13:11
Speaker 2: Supposedly how we want to play.
13:13
Speaker 1: But we still can't win a game like that against
13:16
Speaker 1: team that doesn't want to play like that.
13:17
Speaker 2: That's what's frustrating overall to me.
13:19
Speaker 3: And I will say, you know, I have been pretty
13:22
Speaker 3: long on our defense at times. We still did hold
13:24
Speaker 3: them to twenty one points and they are an offense.
13:27
Speaker 3: You know, on the broadcast they said they had only
13:30
Speaker 3: had three three and outs in the first it was
13:35
Speaker 3: the first five games of the year. Then they had
13:38
Speaker 3: three against North or Notre Dame and then the first
13:41
Speaker 3: two against US for three. So I mean it's like, okay,
13:45
Speaker 3: like you know, you know, we held them twenty one points,
13:50
Speaker 3: we held them to you know, under fifty passing completion
13:53
Speaker 3: and under two hundred or one hundred and thirty five
13:57
Speaker 3: passing yard.
13:57
Speaker 2: It's like, I'll give us credit.
14:00
Speaker 1: We took away what they wanted to do, and that that,
14:04
Speaker 1: to me is the number one most important thing of
14:08
Speaker 1: defense is force the other team to do something they're
14:11
Speaker 1: not comfortable doing. So I guess props we did that
14:16
Speaker 1: to start, but it's like after we did that, we
14:19
Speaker 1: didn't have any counters and counterpunches to throw back at them.
14:23
Speaker 1: And gosh, that's what coaching is. That is what great
14:26
Speaker 1: coaching is is keeping the other teams players and coaching
14:30
Speaker 1: staff off balance and punch counter punch, punch, CounterPunch. And
14:34
Speaker 1: we we threw the first punch like we have so
14:37
Speaker 1: many games, and then when USC threw their CounterPunch, we
14:42
Speaker 1: just took it straight to the nose and we're like,
14:44
Speaker 1: oh shit, And.
14:46
Speaker 3: The thing is like, it wasn't you know. I didn't
14:48
Speaker 3: feel like bad tackling was an issue. No, I didn't
14:52
Speaker 3: feel blown coverages were an issue. I mean we had
14:55
Speaker 3: some bad we had some PI calls as like we
14:59
Speaker 3: probably the you know, we gave that to them because
15:02
Speaker 3: of poor coverage. It wasn't necessarily a great play, you know.
15:07
Speaker 3: It was like USC tricked us into this past interferences,
15:10
Speaker 3: Like no, our guy was in position and he had
15:12
Speaker 3: great spot on the ball and he just goofed up
15:15
Speaker 3: yeah too, a little too aggressive. So that was I
15:20
Speaker 3: we just if we just had you know, I say this,
15:22
Speaker 3: if just had, but we just need like that one
15:25
Speaker 3: guy on the defensive line that gets pressure by himself
15:28
Speaker 3: that where we don't have to pull that guy from
15:29
Speaker 3: the second. I agree, we we don't get any pressure
15:33
Speaker 3: on even though Jaden was a little bit for as
15:36
Speaker 3: at the beginning. That's partly because the crowd and the
15:39
Speaker 3: you know, the night in the moment, but we just
15:42
Speaker 3: we didn't get any pressure on him. So when it
15:45
Speaker 3: came time to start running the ball and we were
15:48
Speaker 3: still trying to prevent the passing, we just we need
15:50
Speaker 3: someone to disrupt that line, and we just didn't have it.
15:53
Speaker 1: It just it is, it's just one guy up front,
15:55
Speaker 1: like disrupt or just clogged stuff up. I thought USC's
16:00
Speaker 1: offive lind did a pretty good job of building holes
16:04
Speaker 1: for the USC running backs. And I thought I thought
16:07
Speaker 1: our like you said, I thought our linebackers and our
16:10
Speaker 1: key tacklers did a pretty good job of tackling. I
16:12
Speaker 1: thought we rallied to the ball pretty well. And there
16:15
Speaker 1: are several times I was like, oh shit, there's a
16:18
Speaker 1: hole and then it only ended up in four yards.
16:20
Speaker 1: But guess what, you can't let him have four yards
16:23
Speaker 1: because they blew you off the line every play.
16:29
Speaker 3: Whatever that drive was where Miller was like, it was
16:31
Speaker 3: felt like every run was a ten yeard run. I
16:33
Speaker 3: know there's two of those drives.
16:36
Speaker 1: That was just like and it's not the first time
16:38
Speaker 1: we've seen it this year. That's what sucks is it's
16:40
Speaker 1: not like USC exploited something that was new that we knew.
16:46
Speaker 2: Our d line struggled. It was the fact that we
16:48
Speaker 2: didn't adjust it all to it. And maybe we don't.
16:51
Speaker 2: I don't.
16:52
Speaker 1: I don't know what the answer is, I don't put
16:54
Speaker 1: more guys in the box. Well yeah, then the coked
16:56
Speaker 1: would say, well, yeah, but then you're letting them pass
16:58
Speaker 1: it and that's what they want to do. Well maybe
17:01
Speaker 1: like that, that might be true, but it felt like
17:03
Speaker 1: we maybe took the first couple of steps this week
17:06
Speaker 1: defensively and then just didn't know where to go from there,
17:09
Speaker 1: and then us did just enough to win.
17:11
Speaker 3: So so yeah, okay, you know, you look at it.
17:15
Speaker 3: We went to the game. We wanted to control time, possession,
17:19
Speaker 3: making a messy game. We did that. You know, we
17:22
Speaker 3: held them to twenty one points. We held them to
17:25
Speaker 3: one hundred and thirty five passing yards on less than
17:27
Speaker 3: fifty percent of passing. We had it, you know, we
17:30
Speaker 3: had an interception, They had eight penalties for fifty yards,
17:34
Speaker 3: which is almost twice as many penalties as we did.
17:37
Speaker 3: It's like everything that you want to do to win
17:40
Speaker 3: the game that we thought we had to do to
17:42
Speaker 3: win the game we did and we still lost. That's
17:46
Speaker 3: the frustrating part.
17:48
Speaker 1: I thought, I thought we played it a pretty decent game.
17:53
Speaker 3: It felt a little bit kind of like Michigan, where
17:57
Speaker 3: it's like, gosh, we should have had that one.
17:59
Speaker 1: Now even felt like more to the extreme though to
18:02
Speaker 1: me than even Michigan. It is because we really did
18:06
Speaker 1: play schematically better than we have all year as far
18:10
Speaker 1: as taking away what they wanted to do.
18:13
Speaker 2: And and and didn't do it.
18:14
Speaker 1: The Okay, I can't believe've gone this long without saying it,
18:20
Speaker 1: but the momentum and everything changed yep, for one play
18:26
Speaker 1: and not for multiple reasons too. And that play we're
18:31
Speaker 1: talking about is Dylan getting sacked, fumbling it on it.
18:36
Speaker 1: It was right, I believe it was right after we
18:38
Speaker 1: got the interception, and a couple of plays later Dylan
18:41
Speaker 1: gets strip sacked. The third quarter is and any I mean,
18:46
Speaker 1: I remember getting that ball and saying, we don't even
18:48
Speaker 1: need to score a touchdown here, like get one first
18:51
Speaker 1: down and make a forty five forty two yard field
18:56
Speaker 1: goal and go up seventeen to to six.
18:58
Speaker 2: Like that was really all I thought at that moment.
19:01
Speaker 1: Well, then we get strip sacked, Well comes out, Dylan
19:04
Speaker 1: gets injured, and at that time we didn't know what
19:10
Speaker 1: it was.
19:11
Speaker 2: Comes out of the game.
19:14
Speaker 1: They take possession of the ball and go down score,
19:18
Speaker 1: get the two point conversion, and right there that was
19:22
Speaker 1: the moment that you were saying earlier of the place,
19:24
Speaker 1: just going oh boy, because if you just felt usc
19:28
Speaker 1: was kind of movement, but we were holding on, holding on,
19:30
Speaker 1: and they went down and finally broke through and scored.
19:34
Speaker 1: Dylan's now out, which we'll obviously talking a lot about
19:41
Speaker 1: the implications of this.
19:44
Speaker 3: For those of you listening to know, I'm sure you're
19:47
Speaker 3: Dylan's done for the.
19:48
Speaker 2: Year, out for the year.
19:50
Speaker 3: Bibula, by first thought was freaking hunter last week had
19:54
Speaker 3: to be like we need to use TJTT more. You
19:56
Speaker 3: know what we get Okay, get more tjt T.
20:00
Speaker 1: This This is my this is my point to this though,
20:05
Speaker 1: with this happening and is obviously is going to be
20:07
Speaker 1: a big conversation. I don't I did not think we
20:10
Speaker 1: needed to start t J latif I wanted TJ the
20:13
Speaker 1: Tief to be available for Packages to be a threat
20:17
Speaker 1: running it, because I do not think that t J
20:20
Speaker 1: Latif can do even half the things that Dylan does
20:24
Speaker 1: in the passing game.
20:25
Speaker 2: So I did not want Tej to to start.
20:28
Speaker 1: There's obviously people out there that do and are very
20:31
Speaker 1: anti anti Dylan, and I am still very very very
20:34
Speaker 1: pro Dylan. I just wanted the Tief to have some
20:37
Speaker 1: opportunities with Packages. A couple of weeks after the Minnesota
20:40
Speaker 1: game that I said that, and yeah, now we're going
20:43
Speaker 1: to get to see him. So right when this happened,
20:47
Speaker 1: and this is this is just this is just Husker
20:50
Speaker 1: fans to an extreme.
20:54
Speaker 2: The lady right in front of us, bigger gal.
20:58
Speaker 3: Dylan.
20:59
Speaker 1: Someone's down. We saw after the play, didn't really see who.
21:02
Speaker 1: We're all trying to figure out who someone's her? Who
21:03
Speaker 1: is hell Husker player?
21:04
Speaker 2: Oh who is? Oh like, I think it's Dylan. No,
21:06
Speaker 2: it is Dylan. Yeah that's Dylan. That lady right in
21:09
Speaker 2: front of me goes thank God about time.
21:15
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, no, like and she so she
21:20
Speaker 1: was obviously she's been saying. She actually said boo when
21:24
Speaker 1: they announced Dylan Ryle's name. Also in the starting lineup.
21:27
Speaker 2: So we just just keep in.
21:29
Speaker 1: Mind there's dumb people like that out there that that
21:33
Speaker 1: do that. And to me again, I just laugh, it's
21:36
Speaker 1: entertainment because people are dumb. I'm sure this lady does
21:41
Speaker 1: not listen to this podcast, but anyways, that was that reaction.
21:45
Speaker 1: So someone like that is like thinking, Nebraska football saved now.
21:49
Speaker 1: Well then as we know how the game goes on.
21:53
Speaker 1: I initially thought too, like, okay, running.
21:58
Speaker 3: Right now, right, this is the punch we need, like
22:01
Speaker 3: we can feel like games turning. All of a sudden,
22:04
Speaker 3: TJ comes out, rips out among run like okay, maybe.
22:08
Speaker 1: I thought maybe we're like I thought this could be okay,
22:11
Speaker 1: like we're gonna have a quarterback run game, which we did.
22:15
Speaker 2: Uh and and TJ was able.
22:17
Speaker 4: To got a couple first downs with his legs correct
22:25
Speaker 4: like able to slowly.
22:29
Speaker 2: He moved the ball.
22:31
Speaker 3: He looks slow running. I know he's not, but I
22:34
Speaker 3: don't know what it looked like in the stadium. But
22:37
Speaker 3: I just particularly that run where he fumbled it out
22:40
Speaker 3: of bounds and it didn't really matter that much, but
22:42
Speaker 3: I was like, he just it just doesn't feel like
22:44
Speaker 3: he's going Yeah, I know he's moving fast but he
22:49
Speaker 3: just his motion looks because he's long and skinny.
22:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that happens, and then our past game is
22:59
Speaker 1: like vanished, and I say vanished, like gone, And we
23:04
Speaker 1: really weren't in a point in the game at the
23:06
Speaker 1: time where we needed to pass it too much.
23:08
Speaker 2: But it was a combination of a couple of things.
23:15
Speaker 2: I think.
23:15
Speaker 1: One I don't I don't don't know how good of
23:19
Speaker 1: a passer Latif is, like I'm not sure right, but
23:24
Speaker 1: to the coaching staff has that information and they clearly
23:28
Speaker 1: we're not comfortable. USC's coverage was good and then has
23:34
Speaker 1: good athletes in the secondary.
23:36
Speaker 2: So I don't know.
23:39
Speaker 1: I'm not going to say that if we had only
23:41
Speaker 1: would have won that game for sure, but it just.
23:44
Speaker 3: Definitely changes your because it went from Dylan was a
23:47
Speaker 3: hell of a thrower, Johnson is a great runner. We
23:50
Speaker 3: kind of had the two. You know, we can go
23:52
Speaker 3: either or once you put in TJ. Latif, it's like, okay,
23:55
Speaker 3: we can really freaking stack the house. Like I am
23:59
Speaker 3: not if TJ beats us with his arm whatever, because
24:02
Speaker 3: they knew he wasn't going to. But Dylan you had
24:05
Speaker 3: to at least worry about that. Yes, I mean that
24:08
Speaker 3: freaking that shoulder passed that their first touchdown pass. He
24:12
Speaker 3: had like three balls that were right there that got
24:14
Speaker 3: broken up or the first two that was basically the
24:17
Speaker 3: exact same pass he hit the third time, like once
24:20
Speaker 3: Dylan was out and TJ the threat of him passing it,
24:23
Speaker 3: which I personally, I think they probably should have tried
24:26
Speaker 3: a few more times. I don't know if you would
24:28
Speaker 3: have run out you know, maybe put some more some
24:30
Speaker 3: of the backup receivers that TJ has a better relationship
24:33
Speaker 3: with out there, make more comfortable or something.
24:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, there were a couple just back shoulder type of
24:39
Speaker 1: throws that that Dylan has thrown a lot that TJ
24:43
Speaker 1: tried doing. It was like, oh boy, like that just
24:46
Speaker 1: that wasn't good, which again a lot of those are timing.
24:49
Speaker 3: But once TJ came in USC is like, we're gonna
24:53
Speaker 3: stop Emma Johnson, and I mean they kind of did,
24:58
Speaker 3: and it was looking tired by into that game. He
25:00
Speaker 3: could his speed was not quite there at the end.
25:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I don't know, I just that that last
25:10
Speaker 1: drive then you know, we still had a chance to
25:14
Speaker 1: go down with the winning drive with a different quarterback.
25:18
Speaker 2: So add it to the list.
25:21
Speaker 1: That we've had two greens in the last two games,
25:24
Speaker 1: and now we're taking another red Emmett slips and falls
25:26
Speaker 1: on on fourth and two or fourth and.
25:29
Speaker 2: One and we lose the game.
25:35
Speaker 1: What I there's okay, let's there's there's the play calling
25:39
Speaker 1: and the structure and design identity all that around the
25:43
Speaker 1: team with Dylan, and then there's the situation we have
25:45
Speaker 1: moving forward, so that we're probably wasting time now talking
25:49
Speaker 1: about the team with Dylan because Dylan's now out for
25:51
Speaker 1: the year.
25:54
Speaker 2: Clearly Dana still has.
26:02
Speaker 1: Very little, honestly faith or trust but belief that Dylan
26:07
Speaker 1: has any sort of mobility.
26:11
Speaker 2: And I feel like we.
26:14
Speaker 1: Got better at trying to get balls to our playmaker's
26:19
Speaker 1: hands quicker and avoiding sacks. And I do feel like
26:23
Speaker 1: that was done better on a passing.
26:25
Speaker 3: I didn't feel like I really didn't feel like their
26:29
Speaker 3: past rush was as impactful as rightly, you know, at
26:34
Speaker 3: the beginning of the game, they showed us, you know,
26:36
Speaker 3: the stats of comparing the quarterbacks and it was you know,
26:40
Speaker 3: Jaden and Dylan, and it was like sixteen passes touchdown
26:43
Speaker 3: seventeen touchdown passes and you know, Jaden's got three interceptions,
26:47
Speaker 3: and Dylan's got five and Jame's been sacked nine times.
26:50
Speaker 3: Dylan is sacked twenty seven times. It's like Jesus Christ.
26:55
Speaker 2: What I liked a lot.
26:58
Speaker 1: I think all the passing out is that we went
27:01
Speaker 1: back to saying we need to run the ball to win,
27:05
Speaker 1: like it was very clear this game again. Nope, Emmett,
27:09
Speaker 1: your game goes shine again, and we did, and Emmett did.
27:12
Speaker 2: Emmittt shining looked good.
27:14
Speaker 3: He did it.
27:16
Speaker 1: Just it he gets tired, don't get me wrong, but
27:19
Speaker 1: I you just you have to do that. Sorry, Emmett
27:22
Speaker 1: if you're probably hurting today, but you're just you're going
27:26
Speaker 1: to get the ball thirty times a game. That that
27:29
Speaker 1: just is that's still going to be the game play
27:31
Speaker 1: moving forward because you're that damn good.
27:34
Speaker 2: And he he did did a great job. Again.
27:37
Speaker 1: It just I'm not blaming he slipped on the lack
27:39
Speaker 1: of being tired, but he just he he runs so
27:42
Speaker 1: hard and I said it before. What he's so good
27:47
Speaker 1: at is his burst and agility after a sharp cut,
27:50
Speaker 1: like he he looks like a mirror Abdullah, like the
27:54
Speaker 1: type of runner that he does. That's what he looks like.
27:56
Speaker 1: Running the ball so Anyways, he he very much is
28:00
Speaker 1: is gonna be the key focus and was this week again.
28:05
Speaker 1: I mean even Dylan's debt staff before he got injured.
28:07
Speaker 1: I mean they they weren't. They weren't great. It's gonna
28:11
Speaker 1: be a very EJ focused offense moving forward, which I
28:16
Speaker 1: think is a very good. Man what a great I
28:19
Speaker 1: think it's very good. I think Dame is Dame that
28:22
Speaker 1: your job's up, like it's time for you to show
28:26
Speaker 1: how you can adjust now to a very very different
28:29
Speaker 1: style of quarterback, very different style. And I'm not blaming
28:35
Speaker 1: the coaching staff really for this, but unfortunately your offensive
28:40
Speaker 1: scheme around a Dylan based team and the TJ team
28:43
Speaker 1: is not going to look the same, and it shouldn't
28:45
Speaker 1: look the same. They are two different skill sets and
28:48
Speaker 1: that's what we recruited to so.
28:52
Speaker 2: That that also.
28:54
Speaker 1: It's a problem then when you try to throw a
28:56
Speaker 1: guy in into a system that is not really fit
28:59
Speaker 1: to ranks and you're now asked to go win a
29:02
Speaker 1: game like that, that's difficult. So yeah, I guess it
29:05
Speaker 1: is on coaching and recruiting because that's what you elected
29:09
Speaker 1: to go with with Dylan, and now you have do
29:13
Speaker 1: with three games left, in the year probably change. Now
29:17
Speaker 1: you're not You're not going to overhaul everything, but you're
29:19
Speaker 1: gonna have to design stuff and get a freshman quarterback
29:23
Speaker 1: feeling comfortable doing some different things. And I think there's
29:28
Speaker 1: a lot of ways you can do that. But that
29:30
Speaker 1: that also is something I was hoping going into the
29:33
Speaker 1: year we were going to have more of that running
29:35
Speaker 1: type quarterback because Dylan his body was right and he
29:38
Speaker 1: lost some weight.
29:38
Speaker 3: And he did he ran on that first drive.
29:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, he did six yards six yards run. God, he's still.
29:47
Speaker 3: I would sit, you know, for you know, two of
29:49
Speaker 3: those six yards were him falling forward. Also worth pointing
29:54
Speaker 3: out TJ fumbled it three times.
29:56
Speaker 2: And yeah, that that was evident.
30:00
Speaker 3: So does not feel good. He I mean, he's a
30:03
Speaker 3: true freshman, and obviously the expectations for the season changed
30:08
Speaker 3: a little bit when your star quarterback goes out. But gosh,
30:14
Speaker 3: he did look like a true freshman. He looked every
30:17
Speaker 3: you know, one hundred and fifty pounds and the three fumbles.
30:23
Speaker 2: I saw that he does.
30:24
Speaker 1: He just looks small. I noticed that, dude on the TV.
30:28
Speaker 1: They're on the big screen, they're at the game.
30:32
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know. I don't know the
30:37
Speaker 2: add to the roller coaster. Baby. It just I don't
30:41
Speaker 2: know where this leads us for the rest of the year.
30:45
Speaker 3: You know, it definitely changes what I mean, it changes
30:50
Speaker 3: your perception of you know, if we end the year
30:52
Speaker 3: of seven eight wins, it changes how you feel about it.
30:56
Speaker 2: It does, think so it does. But I don't want
31:00
Speaker 2: it to. Here's here's what I don't want.
31:02
Speaker 1: The only thing that I'm not only thing, but the
31:05
Speaker 1: big thing I'll be looking for is I don't want
31:07
Speaker 1: it to be an excuse. I don't I don't want
31:11
Speaker 1: to hear the coaches. I just I don't want to
31:15
Speaker 1: hear it from the players about I'm not saying that
31:18
Speaker 1: everything is obviously is the same under a backup quarterback
31:22
Speaker 1: or I mean, we can talk about our offensive line,
31:24
Speaker 1: how you know, numerous backup guys have played there, but
31:29
Speaker 1: we're not. We don't cut the offensive line slack for
31:31
Speaker 1: being second stringers and most of the time like we
31:34
Speaker 1: shouldn't be doing it. For the quarterback obviously is a
31:36
Speaker 1: very key position. That should not be an excuse though,
31:40
Speaker 1: of how this season ends. And that, gosh, that's what
31:42
Speaker 1: scares me for the program. You finished seven and five
31:46
Speaker 1: and people are gonna say, well, if we would have
31:48
Speaker 1: had Dylan, we would have went No, I don't I
31:50
Speaker 1: don't think so, Like, we have a good opportunity to
31:54
Speaker 1: still go win these next three games with TJ at
31:57
Speaker 1: the quarterback, if if we if we do things the
31:58
Speaker 1: right way and we coach, you know, guys are in
32:01
Speaker 1: the right state of mind, and we play physical football,
32:05
Speaker 1: were tough, we run the ball, we stopped the run,
32:08
Speaker 1: like that's what these teams are gonna do. And we
32:10
Speaker 1: said USC is probably the best one of these four teams,
32:13
Speaker 1: or people thought that. I don't know, Like that's probably
32:16
Speaker 1: still true. So these games are still very important and
32:22
Speaker 1: we still have a good chance to win all of them.
32:23
Speaker 1: I think the line moved about four points today when
32:28
Speaker 1: the news came out about Dylan from when it opened,
32:31
Speaker 1: which it opened, I mean, I think it opened.
32:34
Speaker 2: I don't know.
32:34
Speaker 1: I saw in USC wanted to happen, then I saw
32:37
Speaker 1: US wanting to happen. Then right after the news broke,
32:40
Speaker 1: it went to like USC to three and LA is
32:43
Speaker 1: every time. Sorry, yeah Ucla. Replace all those with UCLA
32:49
Speaker 1: and now it's yeah, it's UCLA minus three right now.
32:52
Speaker 1: So like, yeah, Dylan obviously helps us win a week.
32:58
Speaker 3: We have a week to work with TJ. And in
33:01
Speaker 3: the whatever, Houston Christian, I mean he threw the ball. Well,
33:06
Speaker 3: I think it's there. It's not Dylan level.
33:08
Speaker 2: But and obviously the opponent's very different. Yes.
33:14
Speaker 1: What I think is super nice though, is you have
33:15
Speaker 1: a little bit of an element of surprise now with
33:18
Speaker 1: TJ and sorry Dana and coaching staff. But it's kind
33:23
Speaker 1: of a lose lose situation for you. Like our offense
33:28
Speaker 1: looks shitty, you still look like bad coaches. If TJ
33:32
Speaker 1: comes out and we actually have some good offense.
33:34
Speaker 2: You're gonna pep.
33:35
Speaker 1: You're gonna hear the Dylan haters out there, and it's
33:38
Speaker 1: gonna say, well, we should have been playing this guy
33:40
Speaker 1: all along, and look if this does to our offense,
33:42
Speaker 1: and blah blah blah blah blah. Like it's kind of
33:45
Speaker 1: a loser situation, but that's your job still to go
33:47
Speaker 1: out and win games.
33:49
Speaker 2: Like I don't.
33:50
Speaker 1: People aren't gonna bitch and complain if we win these
33:52
Speaker 1: last three games, you lose them. It's a lose lose
33:55
Speaker 1: situation for whatever reason, so you better find a way
33:58
Speaker 1: to win them.
34:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, yeah, there's really no if yeah, it comes
34:04
Speaker 3: out silly wins two of the next three, it's like, well,
34:08
Speaker 3: now you have to deal with a little Dylan TJ fan.
34:14
Speaker 3: You know, you really don't because I think most people.
34:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Internally it's gonna be yeah, the fans, oh.
34:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the fans and the media and the media like.
34:25
Speaker 3: Great, that's true. You then you come out, you lose,
34:27
Speaker 3: you know, two of the next three, and all of
34:29
Speaker 3: a sudden, everyone's like, man, you guys, you guys need
34:32
Speaker 3: to do better as coaches.
34:33
Speaker 1: And it's not it's unfortunate, but it's just the world
34:39
Speaker 1: we live in, and that's why they get paid the
34:40
Speaker 1: big bucks. It is like that that that is why
34:44
Speaker 1: you're paid to coach, and and you get an extension,
34:46
Speaker 1: that's that that's gonna be your job and to navigate
34:48
Speaker 1: through all of this.
34:49
Speaker 3: It's which you did get the official two year extension.
34:51
Speaker 3: I don't know if we ever we talked about We
34:54
Speaker 3: didn't know any details when we talked about it on Thursday,
34:57
Speaker 3: but Matt Rule did get a two year extension.
35:00
Speaker 2: Yep, yeah, good point. We didn't we didn't go through
35:04
Speaker 2: the details of it.
35:05
Speaker 1: I almost briefly say this I I don't disagree that
35:11
Speaker 1: you have to give an extension, had to give an extension,
35:13
Speaker 1: But I also think, like if you still think rules
35:16
Speaker 1: the right guy and and part of me, you know,
35:18
Speaker 1: I still think he is like you had to do it,
35:21
Speaker 1: which is just unfortunate.
35:23
Speaker 2: I will say now knowing that you have to do
35:25
Speaker 2: it or had to do it.
35:27
Speaker 1: In terms of it, I really really really appreciated.
35:32
Speaker 2: I thought the.
35:32
Speaker 1: Structure of it was very very.
35:37
Speaker 3: Yeah, because you're not gonna you can't pay him less
35:40
Speaker 3: at any point.
35:41
Speaker 2: No, and you don't. I love it.
35:43
Speaker 1: I just thought it was very well done. I just
35:45
Speaker 1: do it together for the purpose that need to be
35:48
Speaker 1: done for. It was put together well given the situation.
35:53
Speaker 3: Hey, you guys, if you want to leave Matt, we're
35:55
Speaker 3: gonna get paid. Yes, So that I I that goes
36:01
Speaker 3: to show that Matt does want to stay here. He's like, yeah,
36:05
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, I don't want to screw you
36:06
Speaker 3: guys over if I end up leaving.
36:09
Speaker 2: Austin.
36:10
Speaker 1: I'm just this is my It just it scares the
36:13
Speaker 1: living hell out of me. I can already see it.
36:16
Speaker 1: I can already see it. If we well we probably
36:20
Speaker 1: will be We're probably gonna be underdogs.
36:22
Speaker 2: In our last three games, and we finished six and six,
36:27
Speaker 2: and people, all people are gonna say, is we had Dylan,
36:34
Speaker 2: we might have been all right.
36:37
Speaker 1: And unfortunately the reality is this locker room kind of
36:41
Speaker 1: is just over everything, like and then we are stuck
36:48
Speaker 1: with rule here for a couple more years of six
36:50
Speaker 1: and six and seven and five and seven and five
36:53
Speaker 1: and until in twenty twenty seven we decide, Okay, this
36:58
Speaker 1: is complacent, this is we need more, or we fire him,
37:01
Speaker 1: like I just have this bad feeling, this is that
37:04
Speaker 1: that's the path we're going down. And we just then
37:07
Speaker 1: blame and make excuses for why we're still seven and
37:10
Speaker 1: five and six and six and someone got hurt or
37:13
Speaker 1: and when I say we, I'm talking about me, and
37:15
Speaker 1: the coaches will say it, the media will say it
37:18
Speaker 1: until the point that we don't aren't okay with it,
37:20
Speaker 1: and then we gets dragged on and I just I
37:23
Speaker 1: hate it.
37:23
Speaker 2: I hate it.
37:24
Speaker 1: I if you can see it, if you can predict
37:26
Speaker 1: that future, then don't let it happen. But we just
37:30
Speaker 1: gonna win two the next three, I agree. And it
37:33
Speaker 1: starts as obviously still a very winnable game.
37:36
Speaker 3: If they're all winnable games. IWA doesn't score a lot
37:39
Speaker 3: of points historically, U C l A is a winnable game.
37:46
Speaker 2: Totally all right, Well got through it.
37:54
Speaker 3: We made I kind of liked.
37:55
Speaker 2: I kind of like the raw motion thoughts from it.
37:58
Speaker 2: I made it. I don't know, more fun.
38:04
Speaker 3: There you go.
38:05
Speaker 1: I didn't I didn't get mad. I didn't get mad
38:06
Speaker 1: at people's comments. Let's just say that, besides a lady
38:09
Speaker 1: that sat in front.
38:09
Speaker 3: Of me at the game, there's a bummer that Dylan's
38:13
Speaker 3: out really here though.
38:14
Speaker 2: It does, it really does. It sucks.
38:16
Speaker 3: It takes a little one now yourselves not that again,
38:20
Speaker 3: not that I don't think that we should be able
38:21
Speaker 3: to win these games, but definitely just it takes away
38:25
Speaker 3: a little level of comfort of like, Okay, I know
38:27
Speaker 3: i'm gonna get a good quarterback play.
38:30
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm gonna throw a random prediction. Now, I'm gonna
38:32
Speaker 1: hit you at a question percentage chance that Dylan Royole
38:36
Speaker 1: is our starting.
38:37
Speaker 2: Quarterback Week one next season.
38:41
Speaker 3: I assume from a pure injury perspective, it should be healed.
38:46
Speaker 3: I don't know that for a fact.
38:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, make whatever assumptions you can on.
38:48
Speaker 3: That, But.
38:53
Speaker 1: Ninety two pay we'll check in on that. I'm I'm
38:59
Speaker 1: at I'm at.
39:02
Speaker 2: I'm at eighty eighty five.
39:03
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's pretty low. I feel like Emma Johnson
39:08
Speaker 3: is gonna transfer or I think he's gonna go to
39:10
Speaker 3: the draft. I think here.
39:14
Speaker 1: I think so too, my depending on how this year
39:18
Speaker 1: goes and finishes, I think a funny thing I wouldn't
39:24
Speaker 1: my mind wouldn't have been here. But if we go
39:26
Speaker 1: six and six, I would have said, Dylan is probably
39:27
Speaker 1: getting the hell out of here because he thinks he
39:31
Speaker 1: can be playing somewhere else. Now, if we go six
39:34
Speaker 1: and six, he's I think he's staying more because because
39:37
Speaker 1: he didn't play, because because he's gonna say, well, yeah,
39:40
Speaker 1: I'm the reason why we only won six.
39:42
Speaker 2: We would have won eight or nine if I would
39:44
Speaker 2: have played.
39:44
Speaker 3: I mean, I honestly think we would have beat USC
39:50
Speaker 3: if he stayed up right.
39:51
Speaker 2: The whole game.
39:52
Speaker 3: I really do think that. I know it's not how
39:55
Speaker 3: a shook out, and I can't prove that, and I'm
39:58
Speaker 3: a dumb Husker fan, and of course I believe we
40:00
Speaker 3: would have win, but I feel like we're really in
40:02
Speaker 3: control of the game. Then he breaks his leg and
40:05
Speaker 3: drops the ball.
40:09
Speaker 2: TJ.
40:10
Speaker 1: If we play well with TJ, and it is because
40:13
Speaker 1: he has a running aspect to it and we win
40:14
Speaker 1: games because of it, oh god, it's gonna get ugly.
40:19
Speaker 2: And Dylan might just say f this like he might.
40:22
Speaker 3: Which might be fine if that's how If the reason
40:25
Speaker 3: he left is because TJ played so all the last
40:27
Speaker 3: three games of the year, it's like, Okay, maybe we're
40:29
Speaker 3: in a better spot than we thought we were.
40:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it'll be interesting. Like I said, let the
40:34
Speaker 1: roller coaster continue, let it continue, Okay.
40:38
Speaker 2: We'll be back.
40:39
Speaker 1: Husker basketball Smart Night six seven, seven pm. I think
40:45
Speaker 1: BTN plus West Georgia. By the way, if you haven't
40:49
Speaker 1: listened to it already, the Nebraska basketball preview episode is
40:54
Speaker 1: also out there.
40:56
Speaker 2: With this episode, so check that out.
40:58
Speaker 3: Women's volleyball still one defeated and set play in the
41:02
Speaker 3: Big Ten.
41:03
Speaker 1: And I think this might have been the last team
41:06
Speaker 1: Wisconsin on Friday Friday that could have challenged this guy.
41:11
Speaker 1: I was just texting people Wednesday, it's just so boring
41:14
Speaker 1: to watch like we just obliterated team.
41:17
Speaker 3: I was telling I was telling Maddie, I want us,
41:20
Speaker 3: I really want us to lose one. I'm just I
41:24
Speaker 3: you the pressure builds when all of a sudden, it's
41:26
Speaker 3: like we haven't dropped a set in Big ten play.
41:28
Speaker 3: Then you go to the Big ten tournament.
41:31
Speaker 2: What's wild is like, how like we're just that good?
41:35
Speaker 1: Right?
41:36
Speaker 2: Like like possible that. I guess what's weird about it?
41:39
Speaker 3: Like the Organ game today, there was like it was like,
41:41
Speaker 3: oh man, we're down by one late in set two,
41:44
Speaker 3: it's like seventeen sixteen, look out, and then we ripped
41:47
Speaker 3: a six point you know, six point run and okay,
41:51
Speaker 3: won that set by five points. Like they're really freaking good.
41:59
Speaker 1: I did you talk about a good problem to have?
42:02
Speaker 1: I mean, coaching a team like that is not easy.
42:05
Speaker 1: I mean, for the for your end goal of winning
42:07
Speaker 1: a national title, like keeping people motivated and not complacent. Uh,
42:12
Speaker 1: it's it's very difficult. But Danny's doing that in a
42:16
Speaker 1: very very good way so far.
42:20
Speaker 2: And I mean it just.
42:21
Speaker 1: Looks like all their girls are having fun and enjoying
42:23
Speaker 1: it but still kicking ass while doing it.
42:28
Speaker 3: No, we're yeah, they're killing it.
