  Speaker 1: Let's go to, Oh gosh, who put this in?
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Are you sure you want to talk about this?
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Are you sure?
• 0:06
  Speaker 3: It's fine.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: I'm dead inside.
• 0:10
  Speaker 4: Let's talk about Alabama and FSU in our recap presented
• 0:15
  Speaker 4: by prize picks a weird game. The delays certainly made
• 0:20
  Speaker 4: this a weird feeling that Bama fans were telling me
• 0:22
  Speaker 4: that they were just like walking in. Nobody was scanning
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: tickets or anything. So when I got to, I, I
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: didn't have like elite seats, but I was down in
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: the first level.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: And so when I got to my seats, there was
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: like a little other family sitting there and I was like, ah,
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: you know, maybe am I in the wrong section? I
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: knew I wasn't, but they were like, oh yeah, we
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: just sat here. Cause they were letting everybody in.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: And I was like, okay, well go steal somebody else's spot.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Like not mine. But anyway, yeah.
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: Kind of a weird, a weird vibe to this. And
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: then a weird start where Florida state looks really good. Um,
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: stopped Bama a couple of times early scored a couple
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: of times early Alabama to some field goals. They were
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: up 21 to six at one point in this game.
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: And I don't think anybody, I mean, I didn't. And again, I,
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: even the most optimistic fan, even though I'm kind of
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: the pessimistic FSU guy, I don't know that anybody thought
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: the game was over there, but I do think it
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: was like, okay, we're like. a couple of punches away
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: from the game getting to be over, right? Like there,
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: there was a path at that point. We, we talked
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: about before the game, like, is there a path for
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: FSU to win this thing? Well, the path was pretty
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: clearly laid out. They were getting stops on defense and
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: they were scoring on offense. It's a really simple game
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: when you break it down like that. Um, everything changed
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: when Bama remembered, Oh yeah, we can play.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Offense and we can actually throw the ball. Right.
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: And, uh, I thought Bama tried to establish, I'll get
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: Cole's take on this, but like, I think obviously they
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: did a good job running the ball.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: They had 250 yards before the sack adjusted stuff, but.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: I thought they tried to establish the run a little
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: bit too much where Florida state was absolutely selling out
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: for it. And then once Bama realized like, Oh yeah,
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: we have the best player on the field in Keelan Russell,
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: you know, at quarterback, like not best player on the field,
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: but a really elite quarter, a really talented quarterback.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Let's go and use him. And Oh yeah. Florida state's
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: pass rush is absolutely terrible.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: We could stand back here all day and it'd be fine. So,
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: Once Bama kind of just got back to that, it
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: was still competitive, I guess. Bama scored on nine straight drives.
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: I obviously have some issues with FSU's defense, but you
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: have to have some level of competence to get that done.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: The entire Big Ten played well, besides Michigan State, played
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: like nobody this week. None of them scored on nine
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: straight possessions, except for Oregon, who played a local high school.
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: Portland State.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so there you go, right? It's really hard to
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: put nine straight scoring drives together.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Bama did that.
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: Their offense was great. Florida State's defense was awful. And
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: it really wasn't much of a competition at that point.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, number one, that second rain delay may have been
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: a gift from the college football gods saying, we can't
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: live in a world where Mike Norvell is not going
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: to eventually get fired. Because they really... He will start
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: to play better offense after that. Now, they started to
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: find their groove right before that, but that really was
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: like the awakening of, and I don't know what was
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: said inside of the locker room.
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: I don't know what adjustments were made.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: All I can tell you is that second lightning delay
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: kind of got Alabama out of its funk and right
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: back into gear because that's when they started rattling off,
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: scoring drives and looking like the Alabama of old. What
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: TJ said I think is really important here, but.
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: I will give you this.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: I don't think that he was the best player on
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: the field yesterday. in terms of what we know. Could
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: you agree that he is the most upside of any
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: player on that field in Keelan Russell?
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's him or Cromwell, in my opinion, but yeah.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: One for each team is fine.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: And you kind of got to see that. I mean, again,
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: they tried to establish the run, and they were able to.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: But I give a lot of credit to the run
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: blocking up front. For the first time in a while,
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: it felt like Alabama's offensive line Look the part of
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: Alabama's offensive line.
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: They were going up to the second and third level.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: They were taking out defensive linemen and trying to get
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: the linebackers and create running lanes for Treson Brown and
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: EJ Crowell. And then you throw in what you got
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: with Daniel Hill. And they were just making it clear,
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: we're going to physically whoop you in those positions. And
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: then when you eventually started to have those moments and
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: they started to realize, we're just going to have to
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: fall for it. Okay, that's when you get the big
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: deep shot down the field to Lottie Brooks. That's when
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: you find Rico Scott for a gain in 19. That's
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: when Caleb Edwards gets involved. I mean, Cedarian Morgan, his
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: first play at Alabama is a touchdown against a team
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: that probably would.
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: Have loved to have had him on their roster.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: So credit where credit's due to Alabama finding the adjustments
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: in the second half and then Keelan Russell just looking
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: like Keelan Russell.
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: I think that you came away yesterday.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: If you still had any reservations about Alabama making the
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: call to go with a young quarterback that is going
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: to learn how to play within a system on the
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: fly while still breaking down the ins and outs of
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: just what is in the SEC.
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: The reason why.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: He's the starting quarterback is that 53-yard run. There are
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: just things that he does. There are just things that
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: he has that while Austin Mack is a solid starter,
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: you can turn to him and say, You got this
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: and you can do these things. Alabama with the run
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: game is very dangerous. Alabama hasn't had a run game
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: for the last two years underneath Kalen DeBoer. And so
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: now you throw in the offense with a quarterback that
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: is supposed to run a Kalen DeBoer system with.
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: The wide receivers that are starting to hit their stride.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: And some of them are getting more healthy because Noah
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: Rogers is on the brink of coming on back in.
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: A.K. Deers on the brink of coming back on in.
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: You're starting to get good tight end play.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: And tight end play that's physical throughout contact, whether it
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: be in run blocking or pass protection.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: Hey guys, just a real quick break from the video
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: to tell you, go check out the prize picks app.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: We tell you about them all the time, but all
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: new users over there who play $ 5 get 150 in
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: lineups instantly. If they win using code HMA on their
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: first lineup, it's not just lineups though. It's team picks
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: as well. We've got the Heisman odds right here. Those
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: continue to update Trinidad. Number one, you've got Darian Mensah
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: up there at number two, Camario Taylor, shout out Mississippi state.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: Number three, you've got Jeremiah Smith, CJ Carr, Jaden Baugh,
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: all the way up to No. 6, Arch Manning, Gunnar Stockton,
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: Julian Sayen, Malachi Toney, Will Hammond, a ton of names here.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: You can go play team picks as well. You can
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: take first team to score. You can take a bunch
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: of different picks on the PrizePicks app. Go check them out.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: We appreciate them for their support. Now back to the
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: clip on the Power 2.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: And you start to see the vision in place. Alabama
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: being able to average 45 points to begin the year,
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: is impressive because of now you're saying this is what
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: we were promised from Kalen DeBoer. Now on the flip side,
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: there's just a reality in a world where Kalen DeBoer
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: was always going to struggle with Mike bleeping Norvell. And
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: I can promise you he is thankful that he never
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: has to see him again or Deuce Robinson.
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: Because they didn't have an answer. They simply didn't.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: I don't know what it is about Alabama specifically in
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: the last few years.
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: But a former Auburn person.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: And somehow a damn wide receiver has your number.
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: Because of last season, it was Gus Malzahn. This season,
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: it's Ashton Daniels. Ashton Daniels, if we all just.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: Remember for a second, threw for 125 yards against SMU.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: Alabama pitched a 32-0 shutout in the second half against
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: Kentucky that rolled into Kyle Field and beat the breaks
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: off of Texas A & M. And you could not
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: convince me in a million years if I knew nothing
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: about either one of these teams. That was possible. Because
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: Ashton Daniels made the right reads. He had great decisions
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: when it came to running the football. He built a
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: rapport when it came to finding Deuce Robinson downfield.
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: What's his name as well? I'm blanking, TJ.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Danzy.
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: He was able to find open spots.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: And Alabama had no answers whatsoever on how to guard them.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: Even when they were up by three scores, they still
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: had no answers and Deuce Robinson was fighting his way
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: back in. So at some point, I got to ask
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: and just wonder, Gang, is it just Mike Norvell was
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: always going to provide fits for this team? And thank
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: God you don't have to play them on the regular
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: because it was a heart attack. I mean, Alabama, there's
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: a lot of things they got to clean on up.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of positives to take away. I think
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: the main one is that you have a rushing attack
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: and that you have a quarterback that.
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: Can keep you in games. But I think the bigger
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: one is.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: Thank God Mike Norvell is not going to be around
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: in the ACC, and you don't play them on a
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: regular basis.
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: This is bad.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: I mean, again, if it's not one thing, it's another.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: And credit where credit's due, there is talent at Florida State.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: I think now it does come down to coaching, because
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: Tony White's defense, giving up nine straight scoring drives, is
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: the ultimate nail in the coffin of what this regime
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: has been.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was frustrating to watch. It was almost hopeless,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: because the offense.
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: For all of its issues, and for as much as
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: I've crapped on Mike Norvell, hard to crap on Mike
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: Norvell for the way that this offense performed. I wish
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: we would have had more rushing yards to maybe shorten
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: the game. It wouldn't have mattered, I don't think. But, like,
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: Ashton Nails threw for 377 yards. Like, that's insane, guys. Like, that's...
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: I mean, he didn't have that much in the last
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: two games combined.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: That's a ton of yardage. And so... Yeah.
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: I mean, they were, they were better and Florida state
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: did compete. I thought their effort level was good. They're
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: just not as good of a team. I, you know,
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: if you'd have asked me before the game, like if
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: I didn't, you know, if I wasn't cheering for an
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: outcome that we, my coach.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Fired, yeah.
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: Like them going out and losing my 14 on the
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: road to Bama like that, like they are significantly worse
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: than a 14 point team. Like, comparatively to Bama. So, like, overall,
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: I mean, I guess that's a good result. That final 236,
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: I mean, Cole, I want to push back just a little.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Bit on the lightning delay.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: One, because it was essentially halftime. Like that.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: It wasn't, it was kind of the, it would have
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: worked out the same way. I think Bama had already
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: figured it out by then. Cause they did score on
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: that long drive right before it. And then it's not
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: like they had long time. They, of course they gave
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: up two massive explosives right after that. When Bama came
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: back out to take the lead. So, but even if
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: it was the lightning day, thank you, Lord. Like, cause
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: if Florida state would have won that game, I would
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: have felt great in the moment, but then I would've
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: got to today and been like, Oh no, what have
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: I done?
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: It's like the Thanos meme. Like what did it cost you?
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: Everything.
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: What did it cost you?
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: A year long extension added.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah. 10 more years.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: Um, no, but I'll tell you this as a fan,
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: it was fun to be in it for 25 minutes.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: And I know that's like the most loser blood thing
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: you can say like, Hey, at least we were in it.
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: But then you still got the result that like the
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: staff deserves. Like the staff did not deserve, deserve Kalen
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: to bore. I saw somebody say like Mike Norvell coaches,
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: like Nick Saban against Alabama, uh, And Kevin DeBoer coaches
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: like Mike Norvell.
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: Against Florida State.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: It's like this perfect circle. Or yeah, against Florida State.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: But do you have concerns about the defense going forward?
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: No, no, no. Because this is what I was going
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: to bring on up.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: Yes, I want to say in the heart of hearts,
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: absolutely you have some concerns for this defense. You have
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: some concerns about what they were able to do to
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: you downfield with the vertical passing.
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: And you saw.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: Glimpses of that against Kentucky in the first half in Lexington.
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: But then a part of me is also like, guys.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: I saw this last year with the same defensive coordinator
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: and a lot of the same pieces with Tommy Castellanos
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: as freaking QB1 in Tallahassee, and they still were able
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: to go to the college football playoff.
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: So it's like, on one hand, I see the faults.
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: I totally do.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: And I definitely have my reservations. You had to go
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: to Neyland to face off against that offense. You had
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: to go to Baton Rouge to face off against that offense.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: You have to go to Starkville to face off against
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: that offense. Those aren't guaranteed wins, and that's a secondary
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: that could easily get torched at any given moment.
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: It can.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: But I'm also like, let me wait to see what
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: happens when you face off against South Carolina before I
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: go full-on in panic mode or wondering, is this going
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: to be a problem that we're going to have to
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: wonder about for the entire season? Because there could just
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: be the scenario of, Mike Norvell is pissed off that
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: he didn't take the Alabama job when it was on
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: the table, and so he wanted to be like Nick
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: Saban for a quarter and a half, and maybe that's
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: why he's played well against Kalen DeBoer and company. Like,
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: I have to live in that world, and I have
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: to live in that world because of two reasons. Number one,
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: I have to live in it because I've seen Alabama
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: respond in the past.
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: But number two.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: And this is probably the bigger one, guys, at the
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: end of the day, I say I hate all 139 teams.
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: Equally because I do hate.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: That includes my own team. And my own team is
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: the one that we're talking about right now. I have to,
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: at some point, kind of realize, guys, it's okay to
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: have a little bit of fandom in you. Because it was,
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: the amount of times I screamed at the television yesterday, begging,
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: begging for something terrible to happen to Deuce Robinson. Not
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: because of what I think about what happened to Deuce Robinson,
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: but I was sick and tired of seeing Zero just
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: go off, make those type of plays. Again, it's just,
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: you have to believe it was the Mike Norvell effect.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: Which is a really disgusting thing to say.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: That's gross. That is gross.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Tom? I'm seeing Eric here in the chat saying Bama's
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: a second-half team. They can't continue to be a second-half team. Right.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: You escaped Kentucky. You escaped Florida State. You are not
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: going to escape some of the better teams in this league.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: You cannot put games on a young quarterback in Keylon
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Russell who is starting his first games ever in major
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: FBS football. Like, He is responding well, but you also
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: saw how that was a little rocky against Kentucky. It's
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: not always going to be this clean of a stat
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: sheet for Keelan Russell. It's not Trinidad Chambliss like we
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: talked about earlier with Ole Miss and LSU where he
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: can put the team on his back. It's not been
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: proven that he can put the team on his back
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: just yet, but you also don't want to put a
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: young quarterback in that situation where it's like, hey, we
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: need you to be Superman and we need to score
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: on X amount of consecutive drives for us to make
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: a comeback against an inferior team. Great teams. good teams
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: are going to make sure that Alabama can't do that.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: My biggest takeaway from this weekend for Alabama specifically, I
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: understand the fan base having the hang up on the
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: identity of Alabama football during the Nick Saban era. This
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: is a vastly different program. This is a vastly different identity.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: And you have these opposing forces that And you have
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: the Alabama fan base that's holding on to that past
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: identity and wants that type of football, basically what Georgia
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: executes at this point in time. And that's not what
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: you're going to get with Kalen DeBoer. And he's still winning.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: And it's never good enough. It's never good enough for
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: this fan base. So it's unfortunate. I think Alabama is
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: still going to have their ups and downs this year.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: They were somebody I thought could be a sleeper within
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: the SEC if they figure out quarterback. It looks like
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: they have their guy for the future. I don't think
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: they're making the playoff this year. I think there's going
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: to be too many instances where they get into a
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: hole against somebody and they can't dig their way out.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: On the flip side, FSU, I was shocked at the
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: way they played in the first half of this game.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Ashton Daniels was having an out-of-body experience. I have said
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: on the show, I think he's playing the wrong sport.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: He heard you.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: I didn't even realize that he could throw for over
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: 300 yards passing or that he could complete that many
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: attempts within a game. I was absolutely stunned. I feel
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: for Florida State fans. chroma is your guy that is
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: a dude you just want to run into the ground
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: for the rest of the season and your defense was
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: responding there in the first half until they weren't this
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: is just going to continue to be a difficult season
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: for florida state i really do feel for florida state
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: fans it feels like the writing is on the wall
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: from mike norvell i just don't know how many games
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: are going to let this slide with norvell we've talked
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: about this before on this show like they could wind
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: up two and five very quickly in just a handful
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: of weeks and I really think it's going to require
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: this being an absolute losing season where that loss total
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: has to get to seven in order for them to
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: be like, hey, Mike, you got to go.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: It's going to get to seven, though, the way that
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: they played. I mean, at the same time, TJ, let's
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: be real for a second. As much as it was
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: awesome to see Ashton Daniels, for you and for some
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: Florida State fans, look the part of QB1 and kind
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: of shut up a lot of people, he still had
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: three turnovers in the game. He still had three interceptions
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: that ultimately put them out of position. And take away
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: the last one because that was just like, I'm trying
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: to get us back in as we're down by double digits.
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: But he had two that gave opportunities for Alabama to capitalize.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: So it's like on one hand, as much as I
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: can say, yeah, you saw Ashton Daniels deliver. You also
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: saw Ashton Daniels put this team back in a hole.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, and on the turnover specifically, I mean,
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: you're going to live with that. Like Vida told you
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: he was going to pass for 377 yards. You would
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: have known there were going to be some turnovers. I'll
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: say the turnovers, you know, there are different levels of turnovers.
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: And the first one was a tipped pass. The defense
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: stepped up and held him to three. Not detrimental. The
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: second one was a third and 17, and it was
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: 35 yards down the field, which that's about our punters max.
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: So it was essentially an arm punt on a third
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: and 17. And then the last one, yeah, I'm not
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: excusing it or saying like, Oh, no big deal. But like,
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: I didn't think the turnovers, I mean, they weren't helpful,
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: but let's say that third and 17 just falls to
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: the ground. Bama started roughly the same, you know, place
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: the one that gave up three points. I mean, yeah,
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: you can put, I don't know if I put that
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: on him with it being tipped, but I also like,
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: you know, you held him to any Bama drive that
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: ended in three last night was a massive win, whether
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: you gave it to him in field goal range or not.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: So I, I thought, yeah, I mean, I thought the
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: offense again played really well, defense, terrible. And Tom's right.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: Like, I mean, I, I think they'll move on from
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: him quicker than, you know, you know, I think it'll
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: be quicker than like.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: The seventh loss.
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: But I mean, even with Virginia losing to West Virginia,
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: which shout out the Mountaineers, I still think they lose
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: to Virginia in two weeks. Last week, they lost to
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: a team because the offense was bad. This week, they
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: lose to a team because the defense is bad. They're
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: a poorly coached team. They're a poorly run team, and
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: they'll find ways to lose games. Eric asked about the atmosphere.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: It was great. Second game in Tuscaloosa, really, really fun. Really,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: really good. Dixieland Delight's great. The crowd was great.
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: The fans were funny because they were smack talking a
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: little bit, and I was just like, buddy, you don't
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: hate us as much as I did that. We, yeah,
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: come on, man. And they were like, ah, man, y'all
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: aren't even fun this week. And I was like, no,
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: we're not like, we're not save that for South Carolina
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: next week. Um, Tom mentioned their, you know, their slate.
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: Obviously I, I like them to be South Carolina this
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: week in what may bring an end to the, the
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: Beamer era.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: We'll see.
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: But, uh, Mississippi state, Georgia, Tennessee, and Texas A &
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: M and LSU, a five game stretch. That is hellacious.
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: And we'll find out about Alabama fully at that point.
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: You escaped a bad first half against Kentucky, ended up
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: running away with it. Bad most of first half against
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: Florida State.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Ended up, I don't want to say surviving, but kind
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: of surviving-ish.
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: Running away with a survival approach.
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, like if Florida State had any, like any at
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: all defense, I don't know that Bama wins this game.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: You remember that movie, Years of the sun with Bruce Willis,
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: like they're trying to escape, but they're messing people up
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: in the process.
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: I was going to say zombie land. Like, yeah.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: They survived. They just had to kill a bunch of
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: people in the way to get it done. And it's like, awesome.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: The one thing I will say, and I want to
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: give a shout out to, to, to Mike Norvell and
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: really the Seminoles players.
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: It would have been very easy this week to lay
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: down and die.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: It would have.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: Your athletic director gets fired. There's the TMZ video of
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: moving trucks outside of my girl's house. It would have
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: been very easy to just kind of pack it on in.
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: They didn't. I mean, again, I'm not for moral victories.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: You lost a football game and you lost a football
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: game because your defense sucked. But it could have been
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: an easy, why are we even here?
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: Just give us our money so we can get out
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: of here faster.
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: What I will say is, What did you say? What
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: was the quote or the movie that you just said?
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: Zombieland?
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: Zombieland.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: No, there was something else. I lost it. I lost it. Now,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: I had a funny joke that I was going to make,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: and it just didn't work.
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: Now I'm waiting for it. Damn it.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: Now, what did you say? What was the point you
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: just made, Cole?
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Well, Zombieland.
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: Oh, you had to kill a bunch of people on
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: the way out.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: Like you survived, but you had to kill a bunch
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: of people.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: In the process. Yeah.
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: Oh, I was going to say it's more like you–
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: it's more like– was it Game of Thrones? Like you
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: can't kill what's already dead? Like that's what– that's more
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: of the way that I feel as an FSU fan.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: So, all right. Enough about that. We'll see how Bama looks.
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: Again, I think they'll win big on Saturday, but we'll
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: see how they look going forward with a stretch of
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: five straight ranked opponents, which is wild.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: So, good luck.
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: They did it last year, although– Yeah. Missouri was in there, too,
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: so I don't know that we really should count them.
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: Okay, well, we don't know what's going to happen with
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: Mississippi State this week against Missouri.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: They could be unranked. They're going to win.
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: Mississippi State?
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, without a doubt.
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: I'm not going to lie.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm not going to lie.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: That game honestly intimidates me more than Alabama facing off
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: against Georgia, just because of it's in Tuscaloosa.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: It does. Sorry.
