• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Craigway Cameron Parker with you. What we're going to do
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: here coming up in a few minutes. For those of
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: you who missed out on the Sark media availability that
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: we aired in the two o'clock hour, we're going to
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: re erit here coming up in a few minutes. So
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: we'll do that and you'll get a chance to hear
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: that was from the SEC conference call. So you'll get
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: a chance to hear Longhorn's head coach, Steve Sarkisian there
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: on the SEC teleconference. As it is, you know, we're
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: back in this regular mode of Sark on Monday, and
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: then on Wednesday you hear the SEC teleconference, and then
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: on Thursdays is when you get the opportunity to hear
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: from him in his final media availability of the week.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: And in that final media availability of the week is
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: largely a local media and you hear some interesting things
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: more quite often out of the local media. I wonder
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Cam if some of that is just because of the
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: familiarity involved. You know, he knows a lot of the
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: uh you know, the local writers and broadcasters pretty well,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: so sometimes it can make it sound a little more informal. Also,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: by the same token, Sark won't pull any punches. He is,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: as we heard in the two o'clock hour. You know,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: because you knows Ship Brown very well, you can you
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: can give him kind of a short retort on something
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: like that. It's the people, you.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Know, right, Yeah, I mean we hear Kirk Bowles or
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Cedric Holden. You know they'll make they'll make some jokes
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: to start off, and you know Sark will laugh and
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: appreciate it. And you know you're the same way, Creig.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: You have that relationship with him versus you know, an
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: outside reporter who also you know, it's in being in sports.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: It's weird because we know these guys, but we actually
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: we don't know them, right. We talked to them, we
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: know when they're in their press conferences or after games,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: but we don't know them. And you know, they probably
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: they remember what we look like, but you know, they
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: probably don't remember our names unless we're on Twitter trashing
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: them or writing hit pieces like that. So it's always
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: an interesting dynamic to see the reporter relationship with the
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: player and the coach. And it's always fun with Sark
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: because he'll always give pretty insightful answers. But then if
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: you ask him a question he doesn't like, or if
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: you don't ask the question the right way, he will
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: make sure that you know it, as he has done
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: many times this year. And same thing with Nick Saban,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: same thing with Bill Belichick, two guys who definitely have
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: had an influence on him in his life his coaching.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: And here's the other thing with Sark, and he said
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: it on air, he has said it on Longhorn Weekly, which,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: by the way, it's coming your way tonight, six o'clock
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Longhorn Weekly from Pluckers the West Campus location. We record
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the program at six. It'll air tomorrow night at seven,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: preceded by a live edition of Longhorn Weekly with Rodney Terry,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: the men's basketball coach, at six o'clock mark. So it's
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: kind of a double hitter back to back. But the
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: program on Wednesdays, as we will tonight, and Ricky Williams
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: our special guest tonight. Oh Ricky, yeah, yeah, the ninet
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: eight Heightsbend Trophy winner. So he's gonna he's gonna join
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: us out there. But what I started to say was, uh,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Sark kind of he laughs about this, and he says,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: beyonco he's referring to John Bianco, the Associo Athletic director
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: for any media relations gets on me sometimes if I
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: if I'm a little too short in my answer with
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: a reporter, but what he's saying is he said it.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: It comes down to are you asking a question that
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: makes sense or are you asking a question to get
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: a click or a hit or something like that, because
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: if it's a legitimate question in his eyes, he'll definitely
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: make every effort answer. That's what you'll hear in the
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: press conference, but by the in the uh, in the teleconference,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: but by the same token, you know, comes strong, you know,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: be understand what you're asking and uh. That's that's when
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: he gets, you know, a little bit. I don't know
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: if sideways is the right word, but you'll you'll say,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: I don't understand what you're talking about, you know, and
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: you have to do a better job of asking. In
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: his mind, you have to do a better job of
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: asking the question then the way he hears it the
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: first time from you. But again a lot of that
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: is down to interpretation and reporting. I didn't ask you
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: about this, Let me ask you about it now. Did
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: you follow all of that that crazy stuff that was
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: going on? I guess it was reported from barstool about
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: quinn Ewers, and it was a screenshot at something that
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: looked like it had some really unsavory things texting what
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: between himself and a young lady or something. Turned out
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: it wasn't his his account, wasn't his phone. Barstool actually
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: apologized sort of, they did that. Castillano's apology apologies and
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: a Castiano's deep drive to write and that's going to
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: make it afford to nothing game, right, So they did
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: they did that, So they kind of half apologized on
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: that deal. But in this world that we live in
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: right now, it happens a lot. I mean, people are
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: so interested in being first or fast or whatever that
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: sometimes some of the details get left by the roadside.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: And it happens a lot in social media, and you
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: know a lot of cat fishing, and you know, deep
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: fakes and a lot of stuff going on right now
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: with AI with things, you know, with was it a
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: President elect Trump said or other things that are going
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: around that just aren't true. And you know, the same
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: thing happens all the time with screenshots and it's always
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: from a barstool account or a shady account. It's never official.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: But it picks up traction because you know, either people
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: want to believe it or people just find it funny
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: and they don't you know, there is no gatekeeping anymore
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: in our society in terms of what's real and what's
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: not real, and gets picked up and aggregated and then
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: it ends up on the stephen A. Smith Show, or
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: it happened with Pat Mafee on Monday with with a
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: fake staff that they talked about, and that's on ESPN.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: You know, there's millions of people tuning in the same
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: thing happened with you know, with Quinn. Then now I
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: think another bolster, Willcount, did the same thing with Marcel Reed,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: you know, a fake screenshot and stuff, so and everything
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: can be altered. The sad thing is it's just if
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: you we learned this in journalism school. It's just you know,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: for anything, you know, whether it's if it's a quote
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: or a story, you always want to have at least
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: two sources, right, And I think that's gone by the
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: wayside right now, especially in sports reporting with some of
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: these things where they just care about the clicks and
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: the hits and the fuse and they you know, they
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: don't care about properly vetting out the information. And that's
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: what barstool is, right. They just they want the clicks
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: and the fuse and the shares. They don't care if
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: it's accurate or not. You know, I'm sure the person
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: put out there, you know, maybe he was forced to apologize,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: but you know, if he was a smart first of
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: all white, who even cares what he does? What Quinn
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: yours does on his own time?
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Is quin you weres personal if it was him? Right,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: even if it was.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Him, But you know, I think I don't know if
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: it came from the A and M barstool account or
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: just the SEC barstoolccount, but who cares whatever it turns
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: out to be fake. But there's people out there who
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: believe it. I had someone you know, sending me that
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: tweet yesterday. I was a look at Quinn yours. It's like,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: it's not real, dude, It's not real. But the thing is,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: there's people out there, sadly who believe it. And this
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: happens all across different types, especially not just sports.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: Yes, part of the world we live in.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Before we get to the break and then we'll and
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: then we'll hear from sart from the SEC teleconference I
• 7:26

• 8:59
  Speaker 1: was we brought it to you in the two o'clock hour,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: but uh, for those of you missed it, this is
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: the SEC teleconference. Now, this is when sark addresses the
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: questions and you'll hear them from the moderator of the
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: SEC and the and the questions being asked. We'd like
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: for you to be able to you know, kind of
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: invite you in and let you hear a little bit
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: of this. So, uh, this is Logwarts head coach Steve
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Sarkegan from just a little while ago with this week's
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: SEC teleconference.
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, great opportunity to go on the road to restore
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: you know, historic rivalry here at the University of Texas,
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: one that Texas and Arkansas had battled for a long
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: long time.
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: Some great teams, some some great games, and you know,
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: for this for this rivalry to be restored and know
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: so much is made in college football right now about realignment,
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: conference realignment and teams losing rivalries. Uh we we've picked
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: up two great ones this being the first year with Arkansas,
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: so looking forward to the opportunity Saturday.
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: First of all, we had a Tom Murphy the Arkansas Democrat.
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: Is that.
• 10:03
  Speaker 7: Hey, Steve, I'm wondering what your take is on the
• 10:06
  Speaker 7: quarterback Taylor Green, what what dimensions he give to them?
• 10:09
  Speaker 7: And also his backup mount of Kott Singleton's gotten enough
• 10:12
  Speaker 7: action that you probably could have a comment on.
• 10:14
  Speaker 8: Him as well.
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think I think Taylor is a you know,
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: fantastic talent. You know, he's got obviously has the size,
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: the arm strength, the ability to run the football and
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: quarterback driven runs, the ability to buy time, make all
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: the throws down the field.
• 10:30
  Speaker 8: He covers a lot of ground, you know a lot
• 10:33
  Speaker 8: of times you watch the tape and you like, how.
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: Did he cover so much ground? And it doesn't look
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: like he's moving that fast, but yet he is, you know,
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: at sixty six two and thirty pounds, so really really
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: good talent, you know. Obviously, you know the backup is
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: a little bit different build more of kind of that
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: stocky running back style, but yet still has the ability
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: to do what they do. I think coach Petrino has
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: done a great job with both of them and coach Pittman.
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: I mean, anytime you're you're abage nearly three hundred yards
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: passing and two hundred yards rushing, that's that's a pretty
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: good offensive football team. And in their system, it definitely
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: starts with the quarterback.
• 11:09
  Speaker 7: And last week or last game, Arkasa gave up a
• 11:12
  Speaker 7: bunch of passing yards and the deep ball. I'm wondering
• 11:15
  Speaker 7: just what your thoughts are on taking on this defense.
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: Well, I think they're they're a talented defense. They've had
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: two weeks to uh to kind of get some things,
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: you know, shirt up and cleaned up. I know we're
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: gonna get a great version of them defensively. So you know,
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: they got really good coaches over there. So I don't
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: think we can just assume that we're gonna have that
• 11:35
  Speaker 6: same luxury. You know, we're gonna have to play really
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: good football offensively. We're need to be balanced, you know,
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: and that's that's a challenge. Is a very good upfront.
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: Next to Steve Malta, w'sz.
• 11:52
  Speaker 9: Hey coach Hope you're doing well today, sir, Thank you.
• 11:56
  Speaker 9: I heard you earlier in the on Monday, I mentioned
• 12:00
  Speaker 9: about maybe not pivoting towards former players talking because of
• 12:05
  Speaker 9: the emotions that they have. How do you walk that
• 12:08
  Speaker 9: line of who you want to talk to your team
• 12:11
  Speaker 9: during a season, coach.
• 12:13
  Speaker 8: Uh, I like to lean towards me.
• 12:18
  Speaker 10: That's not to take anything away from from anybody else.
• 12:22
  Speaker 10: You know, We've got some great people, some great speakers
• 12:25
  Speaker 10: that we bring in throughout the summer, throughout training camp
• 12:28
  Speaker 10: to speak to our team and to a fantastic job.
• 12:31
  Speaker 10: But when the season rolls around, I think the consistent
• 12:34
  Speaker 10: messaging throughout throughout the fall is important and that our
• 12:39
  Speaker 10: that our players understand why we're.
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: Talking about specific things on certain weeks.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: So, generally I'm the one that talks to our team
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: from a motivational standpoint. Now that the players talk as well,
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: so I give them that credit. But I but I
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: do think that that the messaging is important. But but again,
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: we rely on a lot of those outside speakers throughout
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: the summer and throughout training camp to get ourselves ready
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: for the season.
• 13:01
  Speaker 9: And something Sam mentioned earlier in the teleconference, coach was
• 13:06
  Speaker 9: the energy in the building there in twenty one. Now,
• 13:08
  Speaker 9: I know you were on the short end of the stick,
• 13:10
  Speaker 9: but I just in terms of that rivalry in the building,
• 13:15
  Speaker 9: did you feel that intensity as well back in twenty
• 13:18
  Speaker 9: one in Faible?
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: Coach, Yeah, I'm not sure if there was even a
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: stick for us to get a short end up at night.
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: We got our ass whips, so hopefully we played better Saturday.
• 13:26
  Speaker 8: Thank you, coach.
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: Bexas bob O the ark Sood Democrat?
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: Is that?
• 13:37
  Speaker 11: Hey, Steve, I don't know if I heard that saying
• 13:39
  Speaker 11: before that. That's that's a good one. Hey, Lucas, you
• 13:44
  Speaker 11: know Arkansas's tight end. I think Texas offered him. I
• 13:47
  Speaker 11: don't know if you remember recruiting. I know you guys
• 13:49
  Speaker 11: recruit a lot of big time players, but a number
• 13:52
  Speaker 11: nine for ursaw tight end.
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: Just wonder what your take is on him.
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, he's a guy that definitely, you know,
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: he gets a lot of targets. You know, they they
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: you know, I think again, Coach Petrino does a great
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: job of scheming and working to get people isolated one
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: on one and opening zones and and he's a huge
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: you know product of that. You know, it leads him
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: in touchdown receptions. And he's a guy that has a
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: tight end. They move around and they create you know,
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: he's really the primary on a lot of things that
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: they do.
• 14:22
  Speaker 11: And then now I know you're not all the way
• 14:24
  Speaker 11: through the SEC schedule, yeah, but you're you're a good
• 14:26
  Speaker 11: way through, and just wondering what what the grind has
• 14:29
  Speaker 11: been like compared to what's the reality that's been like,
• 14:32
  Speaker 11: compared to Mabe.
• 14:32
  Speaker 8: What the expectation was, how that's been for y'all.
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: Well, you know, I think that that we had a
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: pretty good understanding coming in that there was going to
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: be a physical component to this right and and how physical, uh,
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: the game is in the SEC at the line of scrimmage,
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: and and this week's no different. You know, Arkansas is
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: very good at the line of scrimmage. They have big people,
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: they're they're built like a lot of the rest of
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: the SEC is built. I think one of the one
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: of the bigger challenges in this conference is is the
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: metal intensity that you have to have week to week.
• 15:03
  Speaker 8: There are no layups in this league. You know, you
• 15:06
  Speaker 8: have to come ready to play week in and week out. Uh,
• 15:09
  Speaker 8: and the moment, the moment, you don't you get beat.
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: And there's been some really good teams in our league
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: that have probably lost games that they're looking back and
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: they're kicking themselves that maybe they weren't quite as ready
• 15:19
  Speaker 6: to play.
• 15:20
  Speaker 8: And so I think that's.
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: Probably the bigger challenge is getting the getting our players
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: every Monday in the right frame of mind to prepare
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: the right way, uh for the for the task at hand,
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: which part of which is again that physical nature at
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: the line of scrimmage.
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: Thanks yep, Nexus Kurt Bowles the Hoaston Chronicle.
• 15:45
  Speaker 12: See because Taylor Green is so big, or you're bringing
• 15:48
  Speaker 12: in Vince Young to run the scout team, I'd love to.
• 15:52
  Speaker 10: I don't.
• 15:52
  Speaker 8: Uy's kind of busy right now, but yeah, very somewhere, you.
• 15:57
  Speaker 12: Know, because he's such a threat to run. I have
• 16:00
  Speaker 12: a lot of Arkansas opponents, you know, run zone coverage
• 16:03
  Speaker 12: to you know, keep their eyes in the backfield so
• 16:06
  Speaker 12: they're you know, not man the man running down the
• 16:09
  Speaker 12: field away from him.
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: Well, I think, you know, I think everybody's you know,
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: tried different things, some successful, some not so successful. Right,
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: they don't average you know, five hundred yards a game offensively,
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: you know, if people are shutting them down, and so
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: I think, like anything, when to play good defense is
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: one you try to develop a plan that you know
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: you has a solid foundation and that you have the
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: auxiliary calls off of that off of that plan so
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: that you're not just a sit and duck, you know,
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: sit and target, you know, because you know, again they've
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: got great experience on that on their on their coaching
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: staff with coach Pittman and coach Petrino, and so you know,
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: I think I think varying.
• 16:49
  Speaker 8: Looks is going to be key.
• 16:52
  Speaker 6: I think putting ourselves in position to guard them because
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: they have plenty of weapons to throw the ball to.
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: But yet you know, make sure that that we try
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: to try to contain him against not only the designed runs,
• 17:04
  Speaker 6: but again the off schedule runs, and so, like I said,
• 17:07
  Speaker 6: it's a heck of a challenge.
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: Thank you, Thanks Is and more.
• 17:13
  Speaker 13: Richardson of Orange Bloods, Good afternoon.
• 17:17
  Speaker 8: Coach.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: Coach Quinn has played in a lot of obviously big
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: games on the road with you.
• 17:24
  Speaker 8: Guys throughout his career.
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: Talk about from your perspective what you've seen from him
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: when he goes in on the road. It seems like
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: he's pretty unflappable, and is there a road game that
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: kind of sticks out to you the most that you're
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: really impressed with, whether it's for preparation.
• 17:43
  Speaker 8: Or how he played well. Yeah, I think again, I think.
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: His general demeanor is helpful when you go on the road.
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: You know, Quinn is a very calm, cool customer. You know,
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: he doesn't he doesn't get too emotional.
• 17:57
  Speaker 8: Too high, too low.
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: It's pretty even, and I think that's important when you're
• 18:01
  Speaker 6: on the road. I think that's important for us as
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: a team. I think poised composure is always critical when
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: you're on the road, and he exemplifies that, and so
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: that's helpful. I think probably the best one that I
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: can recall is going into Tuscaloosa a year ago.
• 18:18
  Speaker 8: I felt like he was really dialed in, and he was.
• 18:21
  Speaker 6: He was really just in a great frame of mind,
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: and I think that that permeated throughout the entire offense
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: that day. That night, you know, we had no pre
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: stat penalties in a very tough environment, which tells me
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: we were poised.
• 18:34
  Speaker 8: We were composed, but we were focused.
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: You know, the right type of mental intensity needed in
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: that environment.
• 18:39
  Speaker 8: And that's what it's going to take you here Saturday
• 18:41
  Speaker 8: as well.
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: Tanxsas Chip Brown of Horns twenty four to seven.
• 18:54
  Speaker 13: Hey, Steve, I know you mentioned you, you know, wanted
• 18:57
  Speaker 13: to get the outside zone going, and and.
• 19:00
  Speaker 8: Uh, what what do you think it is? It's sort
• 19:02
  Speaker 8: of held it back. We're just we're just not in sync,
• 19:07
  Speaker 8: you know.
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: And and like any style of running game that you have,
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: timing and being in sync is is is really important,
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: and confidence is really important. And so whether it's angles
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: on blocks, whether it's run timing with the with the
• 19:21
  Speaker 6: running back and the offensive line, whether it's vision by
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: the runners, whether it's you know, our combination of blocks
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: on the front side or combination of blocks on the backside,
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: it just it just hasn't quite been in sync.
• 19:32
  Speaker 8: And so you know, it's, like.
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: Anything, we've got to emphasize it more. We've got to
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: put in the time and the effort, which I think
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: that we're doing, and then we got to start to
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: find our rhythm there again.
• 19:43
  Speaker 8: And you know, I talked a lot about.
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: Going into last week's game about finding our mojo as
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: an offense, which I think that we did. And this
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: week it's been about, Okay, how do we how do
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: we get back to our timing and execution of our
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: outside zone?
• 19:57
  Speaker 8: Because at some point, obviously you're.
• 19:59
  Speaker 13: Gonna need to run it again seven and eight man boxes,
• 20:01
  Speaker 13: and you've had the rotation at running back, and it's
• 20:05
  Speaker 13: it's been a lot, a little little different this year
• 20:09
  Speaker 13: than in years past.
• 20:10
  Speaker 8: I'm not sure what you're asking me.
• 20:12
  Speaker 13: Well, just I mean, that's how difficult has it been
• 20:15
  Speaker 13: to have the rotation at running back and trying to
• 20:19
  Speaker 13: sync everything up and knowing that, you know, to kill
• 20:23
  Speaker 13: the clock late in the game, you're gonna have to
• 20:24
  Speaker 13: run it against seven and eight man boxes or we
• 20:27
  Speaker 13: can throw it.
• 20:28
  Speaker 8: I still don't know what you're asking me, But next question,
• 20:32
  Speaker 8: it's all your time, So thank you today. Thank you.
• 20:36
