  Speaker 2: The Astros the same.

  Speaker 2: Teams, either of these teams deserve to be in the playoffs,

  Speaker 2: is out. A & M wide receiver Ashton Bethel-Roman and
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: running back Jamarian Morrow listed as questionable for Saturday's game
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: at LSU. They missed last week's game. The good news

• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Safety to Marcus Cooley is listed as questionable, which doesn't
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: mean much because the quarterback Sam Levitt was listed as questionable.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: One of those two on Wednesday before the game last week.
• 4:45

  Speaker 2: Saturday morning on game day during the kicking contest. Johnny
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Knoxville will be the guest picker. Shouldn't they reverse those?
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Shouldn't they be kicking Johnny Knoxville in the groin and
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: let Peyton Manning pick games? I mean, I'm just saying,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: isn't that what he's known for?
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: What a thing to be known for, by the way. Hey,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: what do you do?
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: I let people punch me, kick me, throw balls at
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: me in the groin. I've made millions of dollars doing that.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: I can't breathe, I can't have kids, but hey, I
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: have made millions of dollars and everybody knows my name.
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: Sorry, I.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: I digress.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to get these Rangers this very difficult third out.
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: Of the inning.
• 6:12

  Speaker 2: director Robert Murphy today after a grand jury indicted him
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: last week on multiple felony and misdemeanor counts involving sexual
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: abuse of male athletes. The grand jury handed down sealed
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: indictments last week, but the charges remain secret until Murphy
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: can be located. Courts often seal indictment to give authorities
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: time to arrest the suspects. Murphy's North Carolina arrest warrant
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: listed him as an out-of-state fugitive. They're playing the President's
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Cup in Medina, Illinois.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: And is that over? Holy smoke.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: The Rangers have won a game. They beat the Mets
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: 3-1 this afternoon. And they are in first place. in
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: the American League West. I just can't believe it. Flip
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: her over to the Golf Channel stand, and we will
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: watch what is going on with the President's Cup, which
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know what that is.
• 7:24
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: I think it's... I don't know who's on the President's Cup.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: I know what the Ryder Cup is. I don't know
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: the difference. They play this every two years. I know
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: it's not nearly as important as the Ryder Cup, and
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: I can't read all that stuff.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Stan, can you read it? That's the leaderboard. Tell me
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: what's going on. They're playing four ball right now.
• 7:52
  Speaker 8: So it is Scheffler and Burns on a team against
• 7:56
  Speaker 8: Minwoo Lee and I'm.
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 8:00
  Speaker 8: I'm sorry. And then they have, they're on 15.
• 8:03
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 8:03
  Speaker 8: And then Young and Shoffley are on a team.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: So, but is that, I mean, is it one up?
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Is it all squared? What does it say?
• 8:10
  Speaker 10: I don't know.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: With the Scheffler, right there in the middle.
• 8:12
  Speaker 8: Oh, yeah.
• 8:13
  Speaker 7: It's just all square.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, good gosh. So, Scheffler, and who's he playing with?
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: Burns.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: And they're even?
• 8:20
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Holy crud. How does that happen? And then what about
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: the others?
• 8:27
  Speaker 8: Matsuyama and.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Hideki Matsuyama.
• 8:30
  Speaker 8: Yeah. Okay.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: And Minwoo Lee, maybe? No, it's like... Okay, it doesn't matter.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Who are they playing?
• 8:39
  Speaker 8: Young and Shoffley.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: And what's going on there?
• 8:42
  Speaker 8: Matsuyama is up two.
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 8:44
  Speaker 12: And then.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Good gosh.
• 8:46
  Speaker 8: Thomas, Justin Thomas and someone else are up two against.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Okay, they're up two.
• 8:51
  Speaker 8: Against Connors.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay.
• 8:52
  Speaker 8: And then Wyndham Clark and Mark Howe are up three
• 8:55
  Speaker 8: against Fox and Scott.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Okay, so three of the four American teams are up.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Is that correct?
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Do I read that correctly?
• 9:05
  Speaker 13: Yes.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: And the Scheffler team is even.
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 9:09
  Speaker 13: Okay.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: It's just not as important, I know, as the Ryder Cup. Okay,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: that's it for now. I'm catching my breath.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: I'm still trying to wrap my head around around the
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: fact that the Rangers are in first place in the
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: AL West. So that is at least until tonight.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: We will carry.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: That game right here on the zone from beautiful Sacramento,
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: and we'll see what happens. The Rangers have three games left,
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: but their magic number is four. So figure that out.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: They still have to keep winning. Oh, we've got football tonight?
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Astros are on Willie. And Astros are on Willie.
• 9:59
  Speaker 14: Okay.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: What kind of, it's NFL football, right?
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Good gosh.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: It's on like every night. I'm sorry. I just don't
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: like it.
• 10:09
  Speaker 12: Okay.
• 10:10

  Speaker 1: And I would.

• 11:59
  Speaker 4: Walked a long and lonesome road. a new tomorrow.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: I can't believe I just heard this song yesterday, okay?
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: I didn't even know it existed.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Dolly wrote this song in 2014 and it is fan-freaking-tastic.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: What a song. It's called If I Had Wings. It's
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: going to be added to my playlist. I don't know
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: why or how I missed it, but It's just another
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: unbelievable song by Dolly. Look it up and thank me later.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: That's all I'm saying.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Here's a putt for Birdie.
• 12:52
  Speaker 10: I don't know who that is.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Oh, is that Adam Scott? It's Adam Scott. Did they
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: win the hole? They must have won the hole. Okay,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. It's just we've got golf on here. I know.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: It's football season.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: And to that end, I'll tell you what we're going
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: to do. John Summerall is the coach at Florida. I
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: don't know why Florida is a favorite against Ole Miss Saturday.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: I just, I know Vegas always knows stuff I don't know.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, I get it. You know, I think Kurt
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Bowles has opined that professional gamblers ought to be picking the,
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: help pick the 12 teams during the playoffs. And I'm going,
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: that's logical because they know more than anybody. And as
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: long as all of these draft, I mean, all these
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: gambling sites are spending money with college football. You know
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: what the outcry would be? Oh, no, we can't have
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: gambling in college sports. I'm going, okay, well, then write
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: a big check and give back all the money that
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: the gambling sites are spending to you know, help you, right?
• 14:08
  Speaker 11: I mean, come on.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: But I think that's a great idea. Who knows more
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: college football than these guys? And by the way, of
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: course there's biases. They would probably set, you know, they'd probably, no.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: But the teams themselves, they can pick the teams. They
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: know more than you do. They know more than I do.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: And they darn sure know more than the committee does.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Right? I mean, that's a no-brainer. Okay. Again, I digress.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: We're going to hear from Florida football coach John Sumrall.
• 14:44
  Speaker 11: We won last week. We want to win this week.
• 14:47
  Speaker 11: We got to get a lot better. Last week's performance
• 14:49
  Speaker 11: will not cut it against the outfit we're getting ready
• 14:51
  Speaker 11: to play. A lot of respect for Ole Miss. Really
• 14:53
  Speaker 11: good football team. 13-2 last year. Went to the college
• 14:56
  Speaker 11: football playoffs semifinals. A lot of the same returning cast
• 15:00
  Speaker 11: in many spots.
• 15:02
  Speaker 14: Well coached.
• 15:03
  Speaker 11: Talented. Huge challenge. We needed a great home field advantage Saturday.
• 15:08
  Speaker 11: I think we'll have an awesome crowd. I can't wait
• 15:10
  Speaker 11: to see our fan base. But our guys got to
• 15:13
  Speaker 11: get ready to play a lot better football or we
• 15:15
  Speaker 11: will be really disappointed in the outcome this week because
• 15:17
  Speaker 11: last week's performance will not win this week. So with that,
• 15:19
  Speaker 11: we'll open it up.
• 15:20
  Speaker 17: Obviously, there's so much returning talent with this Ole Miss
• 15:23
  Speaker 17: team and familiarity. But what have you seen in terms
• 15:26
  Speaker 17: of this team changing since you went up against them
• 15:28
  Speaker 17: in the college football playoff to now?
• 15:31
  Speaker 11: You know, I really see a lot more of the
• 15:33
  Speaker 11: same than different. I mean, offensively, you know, the guy
• 15:39
  Speaker 11: calling the offense was there as an assistant, and then
• 15:43
  Speaker 11: left to go be the coordinator at East Carolina, coached
• 15:45
  Speaker 11: against him last year. He does a great job. So
• 15:49
  Speaker 11: that side, when you have a defensive background head coach,
• 15:52
  Speaker 11: is the side when there's maybe offensive change where you think, oh,
• 15:55
  Speaker 11: it's going to be just drastically different. There's more same
• 16:00
  Speaker 11: as than different. There's some new wrinkles. There's some unique things,
• 16:05
  Speaker 11: but a lot more of the same than anything different.
• 16:07
  Speaker 11: There's a few new faces, obviously. Really what's unique is
• 16:11
  Speaker 11: there's probably new faces on their defense in particular. And
• 16:15
  Speaker 11: the offensive skill has got some new, but the quarterback
• 16:17
  Speaker 11: and running back are the same. But a lot of
• 16:20
  Speaker 11: the same, really. It's a lot of carryover. Same special
• 16:23
  Speaker 11: teams coordinator, too, which that matters.
• 16:25
  Speaker 13: Coach, just like you talk about cleaning up things, and
• 16:28
  Speaker 13: I know the penalties have arced you the last six quarters.
• 16:32
  Speaker 13: What's that process? There was a coach here years ago
• 16:37
  Speaker 13: who said we're going to get it corrected and kind
• 16:40
  Speaker 13: of never did. What's the process to cleaning up?
• 16:44
  Speaker 11: It starts with in a team meeting the ones that
• 16:47
  Speaker 11: were we were at fault for a good number of them. Now,
• 16:51
  Speaker 11: I turned a few into the league office. They can
• 16:53
  Speaker 11: comment on that. I'm not allowed to really get into
• 16:56
  Speaker 11: the weeds on it. Not all of them were fully justified.
• 17:00
  Speaker 11: And then there was some on the other side that
• 17:02
  Speaker 11: I think we probably– like our late hit on the
• 17:04
  Speaker 11: sideline I didn't agree with. And then we got hit
• 17:07
  Speaker 11: on their sideline out of bounds and there was no call. Like,
• 17:12
  Speaker 11: so I'm not going to say what was right or wrong,
• 17:14
  Speaker 11: but there are certain ones I show in front of
• 17:17
  Speaker 11: the team that were– we were at fault. We were
• 17:20
  Speaker 11: not free of guilt on all of them. There was
• 17:23
  Speaker 11: plenty of them we were in the wrong. And in
• 17:25
  Speaker 11: the team meeting this morning, they got called out. And
• 17:28
  Speaker 11: like– There ain't no hiding. And I tell them, like, so,
• 17:34
  Speaker 11: you know, the only way I know if it's really
• 17:36
  Speaker 11: fixed is by our actions. But we are going to
• 17:39
  Speaker 11: hold the guys really, really to a high standard of
• 17:42
  Speaker 11: accountability in regards to operating like a pro. And I
• 17:47
  Speaker 11: want our team to play.
• 17:48
  Speaker 14: With an edge.
• 17:49
  Speaker 11: I want them to play with a mindset of, like,
• 17:51
  Speaker 11: we're not going to take anything from anybody. Like, we're
• 17:53
  Speaker 11: going to bring it every time. But you have to
• 17:56
  Speaker 11: at some point draw the line and go, hey, it's
• 17:58
  Speaker 11: time to stop. There's no reason to do the extra.
• 18:01
  Speaker 11: So there were really a couple plays that I've watched
• 18:05
  Speaker 11: with the team. I'm like, this is not three. There
• 18:08
  Speaker 11: was three plays that I watched with the team where
• 18:09
  Speaker 11: I'm like, this is not acceptable. Yeah, on the fourth
• 18:15
  Speaker 11: and one touchdown where we got a taunting, not acceptable.
• 18:21
  Speaker 11: After the extra point where we got an unsportsmanlike, not okay.
• 18:26
  Speaker 11: And then the one that, uh, on Dallas where he
• 18:30
  Speaker 11: was blocking out of bounds. I really wasn't as mad
• 18:33
  Speaker 11: about that one. Cause I don't actually think he just
• 18:35
  Speaker 11: lost where he was. His wasn't, I don't think his
• 18:39
  Speaker 11: was intent. I think his was, he was engaged and
• 18:42
  Speaker 11: he was trying to be a bully in the run
• 18:45
  Speaker 11: game or be a bully on the perimeter and help
• 18:47
  Speaker 11: the ball carrier and just lost. I'm in the white
• 18:50
  Speaker 11: all of a sudden. And so his, I didn't really,
• 18:52
  Speaker 11: I don't think it was, um, um, an issue of
• 18:58
  Speaker 11: wanting to do right. I think it was as much
• 19:00
  Speaker 11: as awareness of, like, hang on, we're wearing the white now.
• 19:02
  Speaker 11: But those are the three that we can't do, ever.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: You talked about coverage technique also after the Auburn game.
• 19:09
  Speaker 8: How important is that going to be to kind of
• 19:11
  Speaker 8: clean up and be on point against Fred Atcham?
• 19:13
  Speaker 11: You know, what's frustrating is I could make an eight-
• 19:16
  Speaker 11: to ten-play cut-up of some coverage stuff from Saturday night's game,
• 19:20
  Speaker 11: and you're like, man, we look really good. Like, how
• 19:23
  Speaker 11: about Kermani's pick? Like, really good. There was some great
• 19:28
  Speaker 11: play in there. Then there were, I can make eight
• 19:31
  Speaker 11: to ten more. The last touchdown they had makes me
• 19:35
  Speaker 11: want to puke watching it. Like it was, I mean,
• 19:40
  Speaker 11: just really bad football. And so what we have to
• 19:44
  Speaker 11: understand is in this game, at this level, as we
• 19:47
  Speaker 11: move on to this opponent this week, the margin for
• 19:52
  Speaker 11: error for us is so much smaller. Like there's some
• 19:55
  Speaker 11: things last week we tried to give the game away.
• 19:58
  Speaker 11: Like the Gators tried to beat the Gators some last week.
• 20:02
  Speaker 11: If we try to beat ourselves at all this week,
• 20:04
  Speaker 11: we will not win the game. And so we have
• 20:05
  Speaker 11: to just be more detailed. And you have to think,
• 20:09
  Speaker 11: in the mindset of every play, you are the challenged player.
• 20:13
  Speaker 11: There's never a playoff because as soon as you relax,
• 20:17
  Speaker 11: you're going to get exploited. And so that's, that's the
• 20:21
  Speaker 11: urgency we have to prepare with. That's the mindset we
• 20:23
  Speaker 11: have to prepare with. Our guys will respond. They're, they're
• 20:28
  Speaker 11: going to get there, but it's still lacking and we
• 20:31
  Speaker 11: have to improve.
• 20:32
  Speaker 18: You said Saturday that you'd use some of the outside
• 20:34
  Speaker 18: noise and, and disrespect to fuel the team coming into Auburn.
• 20:37
  Speaker 11: How long have you done that?
• 20:38
  Speaker 19: Is that something you typically do? I've been doing it
• 20:40
  Speaker 19: my whole life.
• 20:41
  Speaker 11: Yeah. Yeah, since I was a little kid, I've always–
• 20:44
  Speaker 11: I mean, I wasn't a very good player, but I
• 20:46
  Speaker 11: always made people– somebody told me I wasn't very good,
• 20:48
  Speaker 11: I was going to show them.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: So, yeah.
• 20:51
  Speaker 7: Do you use that this week?
• 20:51
  Speaker 18: I mean, you come into this week ranked and favored
• 20:55
  Speaker 18: against the top five team in the nation.
• 20:57
  Speaker 7: Do you use that doubt this week to fuel the team?
• 21:00
  Speaker 11: Who's got us favored against these guys?
• 21:03
  Speaker 13: Everybody.
• 21:03
  Speaker 18: Do they?
• 21:04
  Speaker 6: Do they?
• 21:05
  Speaker 11: There's a lot of good drugs out there, huh? I mean, yeah.
• 21:12
  Speaker 11: I did talk to our team about rankings in week
• 21:15
  Speaker 11: four mean nothing. Nobody posts anything up in the building
• 21:20
  Speaker 11: about this year's team where you're ranked in week four.
• 21:24
  Speaker 11: Nobody cares. And the same pats in the back you're getting,
• 21:28
  Speaker 11: if you go out and lay an egg, you're going
• 21:29
  Speaker 11: to be the same hands hitting you in the back
• 21:32
  Speaker 11: and there's going to be a knife in it. So,
• 21:34
  Speaker 11: you know, to me, I told our guys, like, ignore
• 21:39
  Speaker 11: all that. It's got nothing to do with– the goal
• 21:41
  Speaker 11: is how do we get to 1-0 each week? Well,
• 21:45
  Speaker 11: if we don't do a lot of self-improvement, we have
• 21:49
  Speaker 11: no shot this week. And so I didn't even know
• 21:53
  Speaker 11: the favorite deal, but whoever's doing that, man, I don't know.
• 22:00
  Speaker 11: I didn't watch tape. They got– the best quarterback in
• 22:05
  Speaker 11: college football, I think. He's a dude. And so they've
• 22:09
  Speaker 11: got a lot of great weapons. So we've got a
• 22:11
  Speaker 11: lot to work on ourselves.
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: This says a lot about the Swamp, though, doesn't it?
• 22:16
  Speaker 7: Like how difficult this place is to come.
• 22:18
  Speaker 11: In and win for anybody?
• 22:19
  Speaker 20: Yeah, I don't know.
• 22:21
  Speaker 11: We may get added points in Vegas for home field advantage,
• 22:24
  Speaker 11: like more than normal. But, yeah, it is. It's a
• 22:28
  Speaker 11: special place. You know, I haven't coached an SEC game
• 22:32
  Speaker 11: as the head coach here in that same year. We
• 22:35
  Speaker 11: put FAU and Campbell. I'm not knocking those opponents, but
• 22:40
  Speaker 11: you go out and you get ready for the Gator
• 22:43
  Speaker 11: Walk FAU game. I'm like, holy cow. This is electric.
• 22:47
  Speaker 11: I fully expect our fan base to be ready to
• 22:52
  Speaker 11: go and create as much havoc as they possibly can
• 22:56
  Speaker 11: and make it a tough place to play when we
• 22:58
  Speaker 11: play these big games like this one.
• 22:59
  Speaker 17: What makes Will Echols so special from what you saw
• 23:03
  Speaker 17: of him last year, and then the past rush growth,
• 23:05
  Speaker 17: it looks like he at least put on display against
• 23:07
  Speaker 17: LSU this week.
• 23:08
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, he's a violent, twitchy, physical guy. And
• 23:13
  Speaker 11: he's just– he's a handful. He can beat you with
• 23:17
  Speaker 11: his rush game in a lot of different ways too.
• 23:18
  Speaker 11: Like he's not just a– you know, some of the
• 23:21
  Speaker 11: big guys that play in the interior, they're just knockback players.
• 23:24
  Speaker 11: He can get loose and edgy, and he's got multiple
• 23:28
  Speaker 11: ways he can beat you.
• 23:30
  Speaker 21: Buster, you've given him credit for– being able to find
• 23:33
  Speaker 21: conflict defenders, put.
• 23:35
  Speaker 11: Defenders in conflict.
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: How nuanced is that?
• 23:37
  Speaker 18: Difficult.
• 23:38
  Speaker 7: Is that to draw up on a weekly basis?
• 23:41
  Speaker 11: So we'd run a lot of the same stuff week
• 23:45
  Speaker 11: to week. It's just out of different pictures.
• 23:46
  Speaker 14: Right.
• 23:46
  Speaker 11: And so it's, how do you create a picture that
• 23:50
  Speaker 11: can either violate somebody's eyes, like what they're seeing, or
• 23:53
  Speaker 11: maybe just put them in a leverage position that's compromised
• 23:57
  Speaker 11: to where it's like, all right, am I having to
• 23:58
  Speaker 11: play the runner of the pass? And if they have
• 24:00
  Speaker 11: to get into a bind, um, Our Buster and the
• 24:03
  Speaker 11: entire offensive staff do a great job of that. They
• 24:07
  Speaker 11: really do. I love watching what they do. I like
• 24:10
  Speaker 11: being able to go sit in our office staff room
• 24:12
  Speaker 11: and kick around what's going on in their brains. Occasionally
• 24:17
  Speaker 11: I throw something at them and they look at me
• 24:19
  Speaker 11: like I'm crazy. What Buster does so well is incorporation
• 24:25
  Speaker 11: of the staff ideas too. Great coordinators don't just go
• 24:30
  Speaker 11: in and do it on their own and go, all right, guys,
• 24:31
  Speaker 11: here's what we're doing, and give everybody the plan. He
• 24:34
  Speaker 11: takes feedback and tries to use everybody's brain in that
• 24:38
  Speaker 11: room to make our offense better. I've been so impressed
• 24:42
  Speaker 11: with his openness and willingness to listen to the room,
• 24:48
  Speaker 11: to create good ideas, and then just try to figure
• 24:52
  Speaker 11: out new ways to adapt and evolve and be creative.
• 24:56
  Speaker 17: Tailoring the offense to the talent?
• 24:58
  Speaker 7: This doesn't look like the Haynes King.
• 25:00
  Speaker 19: Offense at Georgia Tech. This doesn't look like what he
• 25:02
  Speaker 19: did before Georgia Tech.
• 25:03
  Speaker 11: I think it's what great offensive play callers do is,
• 25:07
  Speaker 11: all right, who do you have and how do you
• 25:09
  Speaker 11: use it and how do you lean into your strengths
• 25:12
  Speaker 11: and mitigate or offset your weakness? Obviously, like you said,
• 25:16
  Speaker 11: at Georgia Tech, there were some different strengths maybe than
• 25:18
  Speaker 11: what we have here. Maybe we have some different strengths
• 25:21
  Speaker 11: here that they didn't have there. I think it allows
• 25:23
  Speaker 11: you to shift and evolve. I think Buster's background. Um,
• 25:29
  Speaker 11: the nice thing is, uh, he has come up in
• 25:34
  Speaker 11: sort of the Mike Leach, how mummy world is a
• 25:38
  Speaker 11: youngster and then evolved by being exposed to different systems
• 25:44
  Speaker 11: that are not just air raid nature. And, um, so he's,
• 25:48
  Speaker 11: I think been grown by being exposed to a lot
• 25:52
  Speaker 11: of different things and then kind of making it one and,
• 25:57
  Speaker 11: You have to go into it with an open mind.
• 25:59
  Speaker 11: You can't ever go into it with a thought process
• 26:03
  Speaker 11: of knowing what you have until you have it. You
• 26:05
  Speaker 11: got to figure it out. And so he does a
• 26:06
  Speaker 11: great job.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: That's John Summerall. And so far, Florida looks to be engaged,
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: well coached. They have the best running back in football.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: Now that Kiwan Lacey is dinged up. And they are a.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: Three-point favorite against Ole Miss on Saturday. Still trying to
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: get my head around that. But like I said, these
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: guys sometimes know what they're doing. We've got a high
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: school report coming up. We're going to hear from Mario Craver.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: We've got our Clark Eisenhower outdoor edition coming up in
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: the second hour. For those of you who have pets,
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: and especially like dogs, you'll want to tune in. Because
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: we've got a little bit of that going on. In
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: case you missed it earlier, I will repeat. The Texas
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: Rangers are in first place in the AL West.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: They beat the Mets.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: Three to one this afternoon. Corey Seager actually had a
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: home run. Josh Young had, I think, three more hits.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: He's the only one hitting. The only one hitting. They
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: go to Minnesota. Three games left. Astros baseball on Willie tonight.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: They are in Sacramento with four against the A's. So that's...
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: That's kind of how things are shaking out. Texas at 79-80.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: Houston at 78-80. But by the way, the Rangers cannot tie.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: They have to.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: Win the division because the Astros have the tiebreaker against
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: the Rangers. I said the first team to 81 will win.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: That would put them at 500. That means the Rangers
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: would have to take two out of three in Minnesota.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: I'll be honest with you. I'm not sure they're capable
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: of taking two out of three from anyone at this point.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: They are on fumes. They're pitching staff. They pieced it
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: together today. Fortunately, they were playing the Mets. And we'll
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: see what happens with the Astros. Josh Hader lost a
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: game last night. The Seattles, in case you missed it
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: early this morning, with a walk-off 6-5 win in the
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: 10th inning. So the Astros split that series. Four left
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: with Oakland. Normally it's just a really exciting time of year,
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: but This has been a hard team for me to
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: like this year. It has just been a brutal, long
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: baseball season. I don't know about Astro fans if you
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: say the same thing. I know you're used to winning, too.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: Used to winning, period. This Rangers team has just been
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: darn near impossible to try to watch this season.
• 29:39
  Speaker 10: And they did.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: Never mind, never mind. I'm not going to start. I
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: could go into some stuff today that we've seen all
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: year long. So I'll just, I'll let it go at that.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you about Galleria. Galleria Day Spa

  Speaker 10: can love.
• 32:37
  Speaker 23: Welcome into the High School Report. I'm Caleb Rapley, and
• 32:40
  Speaker 23: today we're jumping out to the Polaris Fun Center phone
• 32:42
  Speaker 23: line to visit with the head coach of the Rudder
• 32:45
  Speaker 23: Rangers football team, Mr.
• 32:46
  Speaker 19: Eric Izar. Coach, thanks for joining me today.
• 32:50
  Speaker 6: Thank you for having me.
• 32:52
  Speaker 23: So the last time we talked was almost two months
• 32:54
  Speaker 23: ago now, but we are four weeks into the season.
• 32:58
  Speaker 23: Your Rangers sitting at 3-1 in non-district play, the only
• 33:02
  Speaker 23: loss of the season by eight points on the road
• 33:05
  Speaker 23: in Jacksonville, so a very strong start to the season.
• 33:08
  Speaker 19: What have been some keys to success for Rutters so far?
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: Well, you know, I think, you know, when we talked earlier,
• 33:14
  Speaker 6: you know, we had a young team last year. The
• 33:16
  Speaker 6: guys are growing up.
• 33:17
  Speaker 12: Even a so-called minor car wreck could turn your life
• 33:23
  Speaker 12: upside down.
• 33:25
  Speaker 23: Welcome into the High School Report. I'm Caleb Rapley, and
• 33:28
  Speaker 23: today we're jumping out to the Polaris Fun Center phone
• 33:30
  Speaker 23: line to visit with the head coach of the Rudder
• 33:32
  Speaker 23: Rangers football team, Mr.
• 33:34
  Speaker 19: Eric Izar. Coach, thanks for joining me today.
• 33:38
  Speaker 6: Thank you for having me.
• 33:40
  Speaker 23: So the last time we talked was almost two months
• 33:42
  Speaker 23: ago now, um, but we are four weeks into the season.
• 33:46
  Speaker 23: Your Rangers sitting at three and one in non-district play, uh,
• 33:50
  Speaker 23: the only loss of the season by eight points on
• 33:53
  Speaker 23: the road in Jacksonville. So a very strong start to
• 33:55
  Speaker 23: the season, uh, what have been some keys to success
• 33:58
  Speaker 23: for rudder so far?
• 34:00
  Speaker 6: Well, you know, I think, you know, when we talked earlier,
• 34:02
  Speaker 6: you know, we had a young team last year, the
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: guys are growing up, uh, you know, they've been working
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: really hard. We really thought we'd come out and have
• 34:09
  Speaker 6: a good chance to be three and one. Everything worked out.
• 34:12
  Speaker 6: You know, we're hoping to be four and oh, I
• 34:14
  Speaker 6: think Jacksonville is a game we should have won. You know,
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: but sometimes they, you know, when you lose, it teaches
• 34:19
  Speaker 6: good lessons about like not getting the big head. I
• 34:21
  Speaker 6: think kids are so excited to be two and oh,
• 34:23
  Speaker 6: and you know, they hadn't been two and oh in
• 34:25
  Speaker 6: a while. And so they kind of forgot what it takes,
• 34:27
  Speaker 6: the work you got to put in to be three
• 34:29
  Speaker 6: and oh. So we got, we got humbled a little bit.
• 34:32
  Speaker 6: And so, you know, and then to go out this
• 34:34
  Speaker 6: week and, Have a big win against Bryan High. Really
• 34:36
  Speaker 6: proud of the kids.
• 34:38
  Speaker 23: And that win against Bryan, the first time the Crosstown
• 34:41
  Speaker 23: rivalry game has been played since 2017, and your Rangers
• 34:46
  Speaker 23: defend the trophy and keep it at Rudder High School.
• 34:51
  Speaker 23: It was a very exciting game, a comeback win after
• 34:55
  Speaker 23: being down by multiple scores at halftime and ended up
• 34:58
  Speaker 23: winning 40-34. So, You know, what did you say at
• 35:03
  Speaker 23: halftime that lit the fire under your players there in
• 35:07
  Speaker 23: the second half?
• 35:09
  Speaker 6: Well, you know, I just told them, first of all,
• 35:10
  Speaker 6: the hard part was over. You know, I think there
• 35:12
  Speaker 6: was a lot of nerves out there. I mean, I
• 35:14
  Speaker 6: don't think our kids have played in front of 6,000
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: or 7,000 people ever. And so I'm a little nervous,
• 35:19
  Speaker 6: you know, trying to live up to all the hype
• 35:21
  Speaker 6: and all that stuff. And, you know, I told them
• 35:23
  Speaker 6: it was real simple. I said, you know, I talked
• 35:25
  Speaker 6: about earlier in the week that, you know, memorable games
• 35:28
  Speaker 6: that I've been part of and, and uh when i
• 35:31
  Speaker 6: first got here we had played montgomery and we never
• 35:33
  Speaker 6: beat montgomery and they got up on us like 27
• 35:36
  Speaker 6: to 7 and we came back and beat them 56
• 35:39
  Speaker 6: to 51 so i reminded him about that but i
• 35:41
  Speaker 6: said it's real simple guys uh we get the ball
• 35:43
  Speaker 6: which is great so if we can come out and
• 35:45
  Speaker 6: make a big play the fans are going to go
• 35:47
  Speaker 6: crazy so all you got to do is make one
• 35:49
  Speaker 6: big play go score and the momentum will turn i
• 35:52
  Speaker 6: said defense now i gotta y'all to get out there
• 35:54
  Speaker 6: and y'all make a big play get a turnover i
• 35:56
  Speaker 6: said man Before you know it, it's going to be
• 35:58
  Speaker 6: going crazy. I said, when everybody's going crazy, y'all got
• 36:00
  Speaker 6: to stay calm because it's going to happen. And, you know,
• 36:03
  Speaker 6: it's just pretty much, you know, what I said happened.
• 36:05
  Speaker 6: First play, we get a long run from Jack Scherringer,
• 36:09
  Speaker 6: and he goes and scores. And then, you know, we
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: stop him and block a punt. Aidan Gray blocks the punt,
• 36:14
  Speaker 6: and Peterson picks it up for a touchdown, and here
• 36:17
  Speaker 6: we go. We're in the game.
• 36:19
  Speaker 23: Yeah, you mentioned Jack Scheringer was a very big part
• 36:23
  Speaker 23: of the offense on Friday night, going for 259 yards
• 36:26
  Speaker 23: and two touchdowns.
• 36:28
  Speaker 19: What allowed him to have such a big game against Bryant?
• 36:31
  Speaker 6: Well, you know, he's been playing like that all year, and,
• 36:34
  Speaker 6: you know, I think he had a lot to prove.
• 36:36
  Speaker 6: You know, he moved over here from Bryant High about
• 36:38
  Speaker 6: two years ago, and, you know, his brother played over there,
• 36:42
  Speaker 6: was a really good running back over there, and he's
• 36:44
  Speaker 6: kind of been living in his shadow, and he kind
• 36:45
  Speaker 6: of wanted to come out of that shadow and show
• 36:47
  Speaker 6: how good he is, and and did a really good job.
• 36:49
  Speaker 6: I think, you know, you've got to give a tip
• 36:51
  Speaker 6: of the hat to the offensive line. They've been blocking
• 36:53
  Speaker 6: really good and making big holes, and Jack's been running
• 36:56
  Speaker 6: through them. And so we've had some big explosive plays.
• 36:59
  Speaker 23: I actually was at the game, and it was a very,
• 37:03
  Speaker 23: very electric atmosphere. You know, how much does it mean
• 37:06
  Speaker 23: to you to be able to play that game and
• 37:09
  Speaker 23: have such a great environment with everybody from the two
• 37:12
  Speaker 23: schools showing up and showing out?
• 37:15
  Speaker 6: It's great. I mean, you know, as a head coach,
• 37:17
  Speaker 6: sometimes I don't like the week before, like leading up
• 37:19
  Speaker 6: to it with all the distraction and, you know, and,
• 37:22
  Speaker 6: you know, we're one town and, you know, just trying
• 37:24
  Speaker 6: to be sure our kids aren't doing silly stuff on
• 37:26
  Speaker 6: social media and all that kind of stuff. That part
• 37:30
  Speaker 6: I could do without, but man, when it, when they
• 37:32
  Speaker 6: turn the lights on and you see the crowd and,
• 37:35
  Speaker 6: and it was very electric and a fun game to
• 37:38
  Speaker 6: be part of and definitely a memorable win for a
• 37:41
  Speaker 6: rudder high school.
• 37:42
  Speaker 19: Absolutely.
• 37:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 37:43
  Speaker 23: It's always great when you, Rarely in high school football
• 37:46
  Speaker 23: do you see both sides of the stadium be so full.
• 37:50
  Speaker 23: But looking ahead to the rest of the season, I've
• 37:55
  Speaker 23: got your final game of non-district play on deck here
• 37:59
  Speaker 23: as you get ready to take on the Elgin Wildcats
• 38:03
  Speaker 23: at home in Merrill Green Stadium.
• 38:05
  Speaker 19: So what do you expect to see from them, Coach?
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: Worried.
• 38:08
  Speaker 6: You know, I put a picture of a rat trying
• 38:12
  Speaker 6: to get cheese out of a mousetrap. It's a trap game.
• 38:15
  Speaker 6: I've been talking about it all week. Don't eat the cheese.
• 38:17
  Speaker 6: Don't eat the cheese. Everybody's patting, you know, rudder on
• 38:20
  Speaker 6: the back right now. How good you are, man. You
• 38:22
  Speaker 6: beat a 6A team. You're just 5A. You know, you
• 38:25
  Speaker 6: beat a team two divisions above you. So I'm trying
• 38:28
  Speaker 6: to be sure they don't get the big head. They
• 38:29
  Speaker 6: don't eat the cheese. And, you know, I mean, you
• 38:32
  Speaker 6: can see it all around. You know, it happened to
• 38:35
  Speaker 6: the Aggies this weekend when they got beat by Kentucky.
• 38:38
  Speaker 6: You know, you just can't look past. It's a trap game.
• 38:40
  Speaker 6: And so hopefully we'll go out and they'll listen and
• 38:43
  Speaker 6: they'll go play their heart out because we haven't played
• 38:45
  Speaker 6: a complete game that we need to yet. And so
• 38:47
  Speaker 6: hopefully we can do that tomorrow night.
• 38:49
  Speaker 23: So being in, you know, a little bit of a
• 38:51
  Speaker 23: smaller district with six teams, meaning you get to play
• 38:55
  Speaker 23: exactly half of your games, non-district and the other half district.
• 39:00
  Speaker 23: How big of an advantage is that for you as
• 39:01
  Speaker 23: a coach to have those five games to get tuned
• 39:06
  Speaker 23: up and to learn your team before district comes around?
• 39:09
  Speaker 6: I think it's really good, and I think the nice
• 39:11
  Speaker 6: thing is having that mid-year break. I mean, so after
• 39:13
  Speaker 6: this game, we'll have a week break, you know, where
• 39:15
  Speaker 6: we don't play anybody a bye week and get rested up,
• 39:18
  Speaker 6: so I think that's great. I said, you know, but
• 39:20
  Speaker 6: just because it's six teams, we've got some really good
• 39:23
  Speaker 6: six teams. I mean, I think Brenham's probably one of the,
• 39:25
  Speaker 6: you know, top teams in the state in any classification.
• 39:29
  Speaker 6: You know, Belton's a really good team. Colleen Ellison, University
• 39:32
  Speaker 6: beat Brenham last year. You know, so you're looking at
• 39:35
  Speaker 6: some just really good teams in the district. So we
• 39:38
  Speaker 6: got our hands full, and we got to go win
• 39:41
  Speaker 6: the game we got before us tomorrow against Elgin and
• 39:44
  Speaker 6: beat the guys we can beat.
• 39:46
  Speaker 23: So you mentioned that you haven't really played a– fully
• 39:49
  Speaker 23: complete game yet this year. What are, what are some
• 39:53
  Speaker 23: things that you think are your biggest strengths and then
• 39:55
  Speaker 23: maybe your biggest weaknesses as well?
• 39:58
  Speaker 6: Well, I mean, I think that, you know, we have
• 40:01
  Speaker 6: been running the ball really well. I think that's one
• 40:03
  Speaker 6: of our strengths, our offensive line. I think our defensive
• 40:05
  Speaker 6: line is one of our strengths. I still don't think
• 40:08
  Speaker 6: that they have really played as good as they can play.
• 40:11
  Speaker 6: and just really shutting somebody down. I think we have
• 40:15
  Speaker 6: a defense that could give up less than 10 points
• 40:17
  Speaker 6: a game and get the shutout maybe. We haven't done
• 40:20
  Speaker 6: that defensively yet. I think we're good enough to do that.
• 40:23
  Speaker 6: And then offensively, I think we ran the ball by,
• 40:26
  Speaker 6: I mean, we rushed over 300 yards rushing against Brian. But,
• 40:30
  Speaker 6: you know, we didn't throw the ball as good as
• 40:32
  Speaker 6: we need to. And so to beat the teams we
• 40:34
  Speaker 6: need in district, we're going to have to be good
• 40:35
  Speaker 6: on offense, defense, special teams defensively. be able to run
• 40:39
  Speaker 6: the ball, throw the ball, you know, and so it's
• 40:41
  Speaker 6: just really tuning ourselves up to get ready for district.
• 40:45
  Speaker 23: And being three and one, even though it is non-district
• 40:48
  Speaker 23: games that, you know, those aren't the ones that count
• 40:51
  Speaker 23: towards making the playoffs, but having that positive record, how
• 40:55
  Speaker 23: much does that help your players' mindset coming into district
• 40:58
  Speaker 23: play and getting ready to try to get the Rangers
• 41:01
  Speaker 23: back to the playoffs?
• 41:02
  Speaker 6: Well, you know, I think it's really big. I mean,
• 41:04
  Speaker 6: you know, I was telling the kids today, I mean,
• 41:06
  Speaker 6: last year when I was talking about how good we
• 41:09
  Speaker 6: could be, I knew, kept saying, hey, we're really young.
• 41:11
  Speaker 6: We're really young. Because I knew we weren't going to
• 41:13
  Speaker 6: be very good because we were very young. We played
• 41:15
  Speaker 6: 15 sophomores. We played three freshmen. And we're still pretty
• 41:19
  Speaker 6: young because now those sophomores are juniors and then those
• 41:22
  Speaker 6: freshmen are sophomores now. And so we're still learning as
• 41:26
  Speaker 6: we go. But the good thing about it is, is
• 41:29
  Speaker 6: that we're a little bit more seasoned and Got a
• 41:32
  Speaker 6: little bit more experience. And, you know, just being able
• 41:36
  Speaker 6: to walk the halls and have won three games and
• 41:38
  Speaker 6: beat Brian High makes their day just a little bit better,
• 41:42
  Speaker 6: makes them practice a little bit harder, makes them feel
• 41:44
  Speaker 6: good about themselves. And, you know, there's a old saying,
• 41:47
  Speaker 6: if you think you can or you can't, you're right.
• 41:49
  Speaker 6: And so right now, hopefully we think we can and
• 41:52
  Speaker 6: we'll be able to do that.
• 41:53
  Speaker 23: All right, Coach, well, I appreciate your time today and
• 41:56
  Speaker 23: good luck this week against Elgin and the rest of
• 41:58
  Speaker 23: the season.
• 41:59
  Speaker 6: Thank you so much.

  Speaker 22: The Houston Astros played game two of the two-game series
• 44:58
  Speaker 22: last night against the Mariners and took a commanding lead early,
• 45:01
  Speaker 22: scoring four in the third, including a Yandy Diaz home run. However,
• 45:05
  Speaker 22: Seattle would answer right back with three of their own
• 45:07
  Speaker 22: and tied the game in the fifth with yet another run.
• 45:10
  Speaker 22: The game would go into extra innings, and Houston would
• 45:12
  Speaker 22: score via a Yandy Diaz triple, but in the bottom
• 45:15
  Speaker 22: of the ninth, Josh Hader walked three batters to tie
• 45:18
  Speaker 22: the game, and with the bases loaded, Josh Naylor was
• 45:21
  Speaker 22: the walk-off hero. Outfield shallow, first pitch to Naylor, and
• 45:25
  Speaker 22: he lifts that into center, and that's a base hit
• 45:28
  Speaker 22: to win the game.
• 45:29
  Speaker 10: 6-5 Mariners in 10.
• 45:32
  Speaker 22: The Astros are now tied with the Rangers for the
• 45:34
  Speaker 22: AL West lead with 78 wins and 80 losses. Tonight,

  Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us on a Thursday afternoon, Saturday night,
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: Death Valley, 630 Aggies LSU with Ashton Bethel-Roman likely out,
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: Bussey out.
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: Um, So we've got Horton, got Craver. Craver had, I think.
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: 19 targets last week, caught 11.
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: Probably have to come close to that this week.
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: Yesterday, Mario met with members of the media and answered
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: a few questions.
• 47:13
  Speaker 26: Honestly, just being able to finish drives, I think, A
• 47:16
  Speaker 26: lot of our drives, we ended up in the red zone,
• 47:18
  Speaker 26: ended up getting points. I think our main thing right
• 47:21
  Speaker 26: now is being able to finish drives in the red zone.
• 47:24
  Speaker 6: Just being able to finish drives where we got in
• 47:27
  Speaker 6: the red zone, drives where we had momentum. Just being
• 47:29
  Speaker 6: able to finish.
• 47:30
  Speaker 14: After the game, Marcel, he says he needs to improve
• 47:32
  Speaker 14: on kind of the way of the passes, the easy passes.
• 47:35
  Speaker 14: Is that something that you've seen him struggle with in
• 47:37
  Speaker 14: practice at all, or is that something kind of exclusive.
• 47:39
  Speaker 11: To that game?
• 47:40
  Speaker 26: Honestly, I think it was just exclusive to that game.
• 47:42
  Speaker 26: I think, honestly, he just got a little bit inside
• 47:45
  Speaker 26: his head that game, honestly. Like, honestly, Marcel, he... Throughout
• 47:50
  Speaker 26: the season, I told y'all, he's got a lot better,
• 47:51
  Speaker 26: and I'm not going to back on that. He's definitely
• 47:54
  Speaker 26: got a lot better in every aspect of the game.
• 47:56
  Speaker 26: I think last week, he just got in his head
• 47:58
  Speaker 26: a little bit and let the game get away from
• 48:00
  Speaker 26: him a little bit, and we're ready to build on
• 48:02
  Speaker 26: that and go back in the next week.
• 48:04
  Speaker 14: You had 19 targets in the game. What was the URL?
• 48:08
  Speaker 9: Was it 19? Yeah, 19 targets in the game.
• 48:11
  Speaker 7: Do you feel when you.
• 48:12
  Speaker 14: Have guys like Terry and Ashton go down that you
• 48:14
  Speaker 14: need to kind of step up and carry some of
• 48:17
  Speaker 14: that load on.
• 48:17
  Speaker 26: Yourself and Oh, yeah, most definitely. Everyone knows Terry and ABR,
• 48:21
  Speaker 26: they're a big piece to the offense, a big piece
• 48:23
  Speaker 26: to the team. So with them going down, obviously someone's
• 48:27
  Speaker 26: had to pick up the load, pick up whatever they
• 48:30
  Speaker 26: were doing. So honestly, just being able to just do
• 48:34
  Speaker 26: what I do, honestly, keep playing, and Yeah.
• 48:37
  Speaker 6: That's it.
• 48:39
  Speaker 27: To that point, it sounded like maybe on the broadcast
• 48:41
  Speaker 27: they said that you had texted Wiggins earlier in the
• 48:43
  Speaker 27: week and more or less asked for more targets.
• 48:46
  Speaker 7: Was that the case? And if so, why did you
• 48:48
  Speaker 7: feel compelled to reach out to him?
• 48:50
  Speaker 26: I mean, honestly, me and Coach Wigg, I told y'all,
• 48:52
  Speaker 26: that's been my guy since eighth grade. Me and him,
• 48:54
  Speaker 26: we have that relationship. I don't think there's too much
• 48:57
  Speaker 26: to look into that. Honestly, that's the type of relationship
• 49:00
  Speaker 26: me and Wigg have.
• 49:01
  Speaker 9: And this is it.
• 49:03
  Speaker 27: Marcel had also told us that some of his maybe
• 49:05
  Speaker 27: struggles have been mental.
• 49:07
  Speaker 7: How have you seen him try to maybe overcome those?
• 49:09
  Speaker 27: And how you as a teammate have maybe tried to
• 49:11
  Speaker 27: encourage him in that way?
• 49:13
  Speaker 26: Just coming to him, talking to him, letting him know
• 49:15
  Speaker 26: I got his back, letting him know whatever happens on any.
• 49:18
  Speaker 6: Drive, I got him next drive.
• 49:20
  Speaker 26: We have to go play for each other, honestly. No
• 49:22
  Speaker 26: matter what happens, no matter what he do, no matter
• 49:24
  Speaker 26: what decision he make, I'm still gonna have to play
• 49:25
  Speaker 26: with him, I'm still gonna have to be his quarterback.
• 49:27
  Speaker 6: He's still gonna have to be my quarterback, I'm still
• 49:28
  Speaker 6: gonna have to be receiver.
• 49:30
  Speaker 26: I got his back, he got my back, and we're
• 49:32
  Speaker 26: in this thing all 12 games, all how.
• 49:34
  Speaker 6: Many games it is.
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: I haven't had as many explosive big plays as you
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: had in.
• 49:38
  Speaker 7: This time of year. Why do you think that might be?
• 49:42
  Speaker 8: And are y'all still looking to the same kind of
• 49:44
  Speaker 8: explosive offense as you were last year?
• 49:46
  Speaker 14: Oh, yeah.
• 49:46
  Speaker 26: Honestly, it's just a slow start, honestly. We know that
• 49:51
  Speaker 26: this offense has the capability of doing what they did
• 49:53
  Speaker 26: last year. And, like, shoot, it's not– I don't think
• 49:56
  Speaker 26: it's a play call.
• 49:57
  Speaker 20: I don't think it's anything.
• 49:58
  Speaker 26: I just think we have to execute better, I think,
• 50:00
  Speaker 26: as a team, as a– as a receiver group, as
• 50:04
  Speaker 26: a quarterback group, as a running back group, we all
• 50:05
  Speaker 26: have to execute better.
• 50:06
  Speaker 12: That's it.
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: You feel like, I mean, now that you've got that
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: one loss in SEC play, you're going over to LSU.
• 50:12
  Speaker 6: I mean, is there a.
• 50:13
  Speaker 11: Sense of urgency? Oh, yeah.
• 50:14
  Speaker 14: How much of a sense of urgency?
• 50:15
  Speaker 6: Oh, definitely.
• 50:16
  Speaker 26: We definitely made it harder on ourselves to make this
• 50:20
  Speaker 26: run on the year, but we're.
• 50:22
  Speaker 6: Ready for it, and shoot. We made the decision to
• 50:24
  Speaker 6: go out.
• 50:25
  Speaker 26: There and play bad on Saturday against Kentucky, so we have.
• 50:28
  Speaker 6: To make the decision to go out there and clean
• 50:30
  Speaker 6: it up.
• 50:30
  Speaker 7: Do you ever feel like you're open with the ball
• 50:32
  Speaker 7: in the company, and if that's the case, do you
• 50:35
  Speaker 7: frustrate them? Do you have to talk to them before someone?
• 50:38
  Speaker 26: I mean, honestly... Whenever the ball goes, I let it go,
• 50:46
  Speaker 26: get to them when the drive's over. After the drive's over,
• 50:49
  Speaker 26: talk to them. We'll talk about whatever we see on
• 50:51
  Speaker 26: the drive. But honestly, you can't really let it get
• 50:54
  Speaker 26: into your head and play by play.
• 50:55
  Speaker 6: Because that's how you're going to mess up the next play.
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: A couple of injuries, you know, the wide receiver and
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: the running back run.
• 51:01
  Speaker 12: Who do you think.
• 51:02
  Speaker 7: Can step up? You know, the class nurse, we haven't
• 51:04
  Speaker 7: seen a lot of playing.
• 51:04
  Speaker 11: Time with both of them.
• 51:06
  Speaker 26: I told y'all, y'all going to get a chance to
• 51:07
  Speaker 26: see all these young guys that we got, AG, Jaden, TK,
• 51:11
  Speaker 26: all those guys, they'll finally get a chance now since
• 51:14
  Speaker 26: Terry and ABR are a little banged up. But we
• 51:16
  Speaker 26: have guys in the backfield and in the receiver room
• 51:19
  Speaker 26: that can make plays, and y'all going to see. We
• 51:21
  Speaker 26: just have to get those guys comfortable, I think, get
• 51:24
  Speaker 26: them confident. They can play.
• 51:27
  Speaker 6: I don't think they're really as confident as they will be.
• 51:29
  Speaker 26: Anyone, honestly, coming in as a freshman, playing in the
• 51:33
  Speaker 26: SEC as a freshman.
• 51:35
  Speaker 11: Not a lot of people do that.
• 51:36
  Speaker 26: So, like, we're just trying to make them as comfortable
• 51:38
  Speaker 26: as we can so they can go out there and
• 51:41
  Speaker 26: be themselves.
• 51:41
  Speaker 7: Were you unconfident when you were a freshman at Mississippi State?
• 51:44
  Speaker 6: Honestly, I was.
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: Like, honestly, like, playing at.
• 51:47
  Speaker 26: A big stage against big teams as a freshman, especially
• 51:51
  Speaker 26: when you're not expecting.
• 51:52
  Speaker 6: It, it can get a little nerve-wracking. But them boys,
• 51:55
  Speaker 6: they're ballplayers.
• 51:56
  Speaker 11: So they'll handle it well.
• 51:57
  Speaker 7: How do you build that confidence? Like, if you were
• 51:59
  Speaker 7: to tell another freshman that was in your shoes, How
• 52:03
  Speaker 7: do you build up that confidence?
• 52:04
  Speaker 26: Just let them know I was in your shoes once. Honestly,
• 52:07
  Speaker 26: I got your back. I'm right here with you. So
• 52:09
  Speaker 26: he can look over next to me. He see me
• 52:11
  Speaker 26: right there with him. I'm going as hard as him.
• 52:13
  Speaker 26: He's going as hard as me. And we'll go out
• 52:14
  Speaker 26: there and practice. Just go out there and play fast.
• 52:16
  Speaker 12: Make plays.
• 52:16
  Speaker 6: In the same place we're going to be running the game.
• 52:18
  Speaker 26: You play fast out there and practice, you're going to
• 52:21
  Speaker 26: be confident.
• 52:21
  Speaker 11: In the game.
• 52:22
  Speaker 14: Some of the issues that y'all had on offense in
• 52:24
  Speaker 14: the Kentucky game, do you feel like those are things
• 52:25
  Speaker 14: that are fixable in a week's time? Oh, yeah.
• 52:28
  Speaker 26: They're most difficult.
• 52:30
  Speaker 7: What do you see from this LSU defense that you
• 52:32
  Speaker 7: guys are going to be facing?
• 52:33
  Speaker 26: Oh, they're definitely very physical. Their D-line is going to
• 52:37
  Speaker 26: get after it. Their linebackers are going to get after it.
• 52:39
  Speaker 26: They really have no weaknesses in their defense, honestly. Like,
• 52:42
  Speaker 26: it's going to be a great game.
