  Speaker 3: kind of been the vibe around town is that you

  Speaker 3: guys have been I mean, not even nothing, I mean
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: from basically spring until now working out.
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: For sure.

• 1:35
  Speaker 6: loved every bit of it.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: So so take us through. You know, we were talking
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Tyson about it. You know, last year not the year
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: that you know, people wanted around here. It's not the
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: kind of year that people around here are used to.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: There was a lot of you know, circumstances that you
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: guys couldn't control. There were some things you could control.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: You guys ended up ending on a good note. Made
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: the run to South State again. I think that was
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: year number five, five straight times to South State. Kind
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: of take us through what maybe you guys learned about
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: last year that can help you this year.
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: Well, for starters, preparation, it all starts with that, and
• 2:04
  Speaker 6: I don't feel like we were getting prepared for Friday
• 2:06
  Speaker 6: Night until about week seven when Coach Clinton came in
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: and then we started actually getting reps on offense and
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: it showed on Friday nights. But that and respect. I mean,
• 2:22
  Speaker 6: there was a lot of things that we didn't have.
• 2:24
  Speaker 6: We were all over the place with small things to
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: big things, and it all adds up.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: And now that you're a senior, you and Tyson amongst others,
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: but you two guys are the face of the program
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: where you go, your team will follow. What's it been
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: like to be, you know, kind of the front end
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: of this program now as a leader.
• 2:42
  Speaker 6: I mean it's been good kind of year to year,
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: just taking a little bit bigger of a step in leadership.
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: But like I've always led by example, I've kind of
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: had to open up a little bit more with like
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: vocally speaking, I don't really like to sit there and
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: you know, yap a lot, but I'll leave by example.
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: But this year I've had to, you know, kind of
• 3:01
  Speaker 6: talk a little bit more because there's not as many
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: people to say what needs to be said.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: Sliding shack on your radio. He is so one of
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: the captains here along with Tyson Robbins from the Brandon
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Bulldogs twenty twenty six edition of their team Offensively this year,
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Tyson talked about it, said, you guys are going to
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: be more multiple. You guys are going to open it
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: up something obviously that you get you guys are used to,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: you know, back prior to last year, but to get
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: back to opening up the football with the football this year.
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: Oh so last year we ran I mean pretty much
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: we ran a five minute offense the whole year. We're
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: getting down to we're running fast as we can. Our
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: playbooks probably three times the size of it was last year,
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: and just going week to week, narrowing it down and
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: being really good at what we gotta do that Friday.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: You know, people talk about tempo and offense, and you
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: know that's that's kind of been the buzzword for a
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: number of years.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: And when do we run tempo?
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: You know you'll hear left Lane hit the gas talk
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: a little bit about tempo and how.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: You guys use it.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, you don't go fast all the time, but
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: then there's times where you picking cheers.
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: I feel like tempo is definitely good, but at the
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: end of the day, it's a lot easier to slow
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: down than it is to speed up. But I mean
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: in the fourth quarter, when you got fourth and one,
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: you really can't run tempo at the end of day.
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: You got to be able to run the ball and
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: and do what you're good at when the one of
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: the defenses caught their breath.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: A lot of buzz about the receivers that should be
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: throwing to this year, just kind of take us through
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: what that unit looks like this.
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: Year we have we got four good receivers. We got
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: two receivers that can roll. One of them is a
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: four to three. He's he can he can go get
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: the ball. He's six foot deep threat. Then you got
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: another one really shifty, really fast guy, Brandon Steel.
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: And then.
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: Right now we lost grad and he's at baseball. But
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: we're trying to really figure out who that X and
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: H will be. And we got some good we got
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: some good guys, but that Y and Z or lockdown
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: for sure.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: You know when you look at you know this year
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: as far as camp, what else is I mean obvious?
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: See you guys that you're getting to the point you're
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: probably because football never ends, right, you go through spring,
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: then you go through seven on seven. You know, it's
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: much different than it used to be. It's like you
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: never really leave, right, So you're getting probably to the
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: to the point to where you're ready to see another jersey,
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: which you will next week in a preseason game, and
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: then the first game going to two plow. What's the
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: kind of left for you guys to clean up as
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: you get ready for you know, next week in the following.
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: We've had a great two weeks of fall COUMP, and
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: I mean, honestly, we just we just got to put
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: the small things back together, just figure out what we're
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: really really good at and keep her affecting our craft
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: and we'll be ready to roll.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: You headed to Illinois to play your college football. I
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: was visiting with your dad. I told you about that
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: as you guys were going through that process.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: What made Illinois right for you?
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: I had a really good relationship with the coaches when
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: I went up there. I was, you know, able to
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: see that I fit in around there. There's a lot
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: more country than I thought up there. The people were cool,
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: coach be a great guy. And at the end of
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: the day, I want to get she developed at the
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: highest level I can get. And I feel like I
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: can get developed there at a at a really high level.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: And we've seen, you know, Mississippi guys go up there
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: recently and play and do well.
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's right.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: So that's got to you know, help a little bit, knowing, Hey, look,
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: this isn't the first time somebody's done this, you know.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: And it's just like with uh when gardnerment you came
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: through here and I visited with him and his father
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: about his decision to go to Washington State, and you know,
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: kind of one of the things was, hey, if you
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: don't mind going off like way off, and both you
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: guys are going, you know, basically close to the same place.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: I mean, you know, uh, it told Gardner it.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: You know, hey, look, if you didn't mind going, don't
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: mind going to the far west corner of the country,
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: then you're fine. Obviously that doesn't bother you guys, you know,
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: to go to go leave home and go do that
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: as well.
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's right. I mean, it ain't too far.
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: It's gonna be an eight hour drive for me, a
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: little farther for Tyson, but I'll be able to make
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: it home if I need to, and.
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: Farther enough from home where I can you know, kind
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: of get away.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: With Slaton Shack. He is the quarterback here. Brandon Bulldogs
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: have a preseason game next week against Warren Central. Then
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: they'll open it up with two blow. If we had
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: one team on your schedule this year, you're looking to play.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: If you can only play one, who's it gonna be like?
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: If you just pick one game.
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: They're all good. I'm ready to roll. But I mean
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: you can start off week one.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: There you go, right?
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: I mean you got to think, I mean, played them twice,
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: have it done you? You know you guys have played
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: your best ball, I don't think against them. So that
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: will be a big matchup coming up on the blue
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: turf here in two weeks from tomorrow night.
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: That's gonna be great.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: Well, look, hey man, I appreciate you as always, best
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: of luck this year, and look we'll talk soon. Thank
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: you Slaton Shack on your radio. As so we move
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: forward here. We also appreciate Tyson Robinson jumping in with us.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: As always. We're gonna have Coach Clinton coming in here
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: not too much longer from now. They got a little
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: different scheduled today. They'll have a scrimmage tonight somewhere around
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: seven forty five, and then also they'll have I think
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: meet the dogs tonight. Appreciate you guys, taught to you soon.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: And so they kind of got their schedule flipped here
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: is teams are starting to do the whole meet and greets,
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: you know, welcome to the kids, back to school meet,
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: the meet, the baseball teams, meet the basketball team. So
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: that's kind of where they are. And they'll have a
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: scrimmage tonight. All right, six one eighty five, three, seven, seven, six.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: Let's go through Brett McMurphy's top twenty five. This is
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: his AP ballot for the top twenty five, and of
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: course the AP should drop, he said ninety six hours,
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: So we're looking somewhere around Sunday or Monday. Oregon number
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: one on his list as the number one team since
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty three, Oregon is thirty eight and oh against
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: teams that did not reach the national title game. I
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: want you to think about that. Oregon since twenty twenty
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: three is thirty eight and oh against teams that did
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: not reach the national championship. So you're talking about Indiana's
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: the team that beat them. Ohio State is the team
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: have beat them. Other than that, I mean, this team
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: has been rolling over the last number of years. Unfortunately,
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: they're h to five against game participants. You know, they
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: lost in twenty twenty three runner up Washington, they lost twice,
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: and I forget about that, you know, when I was
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: kind of going through my head. They lost in Indiana,
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: and they lost to Ohio's date, but they lost to
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: Washington twice. The year Michael Pennis and Washington along with
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: Kaylen Devoor went to the National championship game twice. They
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: lost to Washington that year. I think they finished ten
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: to two or eleven to two that year, and then
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: twice to Indiana. Last year, they lost in overtime in Eugene.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: Then they lost in the playoffs, and then they lost
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: to Ohio State. Those thirty eight wins are the nation's
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: most in the past three years, but they only have
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: the twenty twenty four Big Ten title to show for it.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: This year, the Ducks, you know, have the scar tissue,
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: quote and talent to finally break through the program, through
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: the program's ceiling, so to speak.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: For the first national championship.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: Dante Worreon, a deep defensive front along with some great
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: skill position players put Oregon at number one.
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: For Brett McMurphy Ohio State number two.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: And again, you know, we've talked at length about this
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: team with Jillian saying at quarterback Jeremiah Smith at wide receiver,
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: arguably college football's best player regardless of position, new offensive coordinator,
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: and Arthur Smith. So this team, you know, you'll get
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: to see their all checked in Week one against Texas,
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: and of course, conversely, Texas is all checked against Ohio
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: State Number three. For Brett McMurphy, he's got Georgia. In
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: the past five years, Georgia has been the nation's best program,
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: winning consecutive national titles in twenty one and twenty two,
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: three SEC championships in the past three years. Georgia hasn't
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: exactly been quote dog meat, as McMurphy puts it, but
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: the Bulldogs have slipped just a little bit, ever so
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: slightly their two SEC title games appearances in twenty four
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: and twenty five, they went oh to two in the
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: College Football Playoff.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: So they're looking to, you know, really kind of.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: Recap that Georgia magic number four, Notre Dame and number five.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: This is interesting to me for Brett McMurphy, and we'll
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: talk about that we come back. He's got a team
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: I haven't seen rank this high. It is one of
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: the teams in the top fifteen. You keep seeing flow.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: I'm a little interested in this, We'll get to that
