• 3:11
  Speaker 1: followed by your message today. I want to hear everyone's
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: predictions for Texas in Clemson tomorrow. Texas a twelve point
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: favorite right now over the Tigers in this college football
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: playoff game. Of course, you can also leave a message
• 3:27

• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Radio app. Of course, download the app, make sure you
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: subscribe to our podcast and leave a message. Hold on
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: that red microphone button. Let's hear your predictions for this game.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I'll start with not a prediction, but kind of how
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I'm feeling. It's going to be a tight game. I
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: think it's gonna be low score. Texas offense obviously has
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: not had the same success as it had in the
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: first half of the season. I think you can point
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: to a variety of reasons. One, well, haven't had SETI
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: quarterback Blay Viewers has been banged up. He's been beat up,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: oblique injuries, ankle injuries. Now he practiced this week without
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: a brace, so hopefully he will be as healthy as
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: he has been since what Week four of the college
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: football season, week three? Maybe maybe since what utsa Louisiana
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Monroe the beginning of that game. Another part, Texas has
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: not had a true number one running back at all
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: the season. Of course lost CJ. Baxter, a freshman. Christian
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Clark went down both season ending injuries. So huge credit
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: to Quindrevion Weisner who has stepped up. He's been a
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: rock so far at the running back position, but haven't
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: had the seasons that we were hoping for from Jaden Bluelaw.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: That has to do with hangout with the football. Jered Gibson,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: same thing. I think Gibson would be used a lot
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: more if not for his fumbling issues. So Texas kind
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: of star, kind of one hand behind the back with
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: the running back situation, but that's college football. You're going
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: to have to deal through the injuries. Other part of it.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Isaiah Bond more injuries And this is from Pete Thammel
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: this of yesterday and he tweeted sources. Texas receiver Isaiah
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Bond faces long odds to play against Clemson this weekend
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: as he recovers from a high ankle sprain. He may
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: end up a game time decision on Saturday, but has
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: done limited football activity this week and has been focused
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: on rehab work. Member Sark on Monday said that Bond
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: was shut down for the entire past week and this
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: week on that Monday media availability where they had there
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: was a media window for the media to come out
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: and watch the game or watch the practice. Excuse me,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Bond was on the sideline. He was not partaking in it.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: And I think the best for the best thing for
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Bond in Texas offensively let him sit this game. Let
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: him get back to one hundred percent. Because if Texas wins,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: and I think they can beat Clemson without playing perfect,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: without having Isaiah Bond, you give Isaiah Bond an extra
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: week to hopefully come back and be ready for Arizona State.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I think honestly they could get buy Arizona State as
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: well without Isaiah Bond. But to beat Oregon and to
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: win a national championship, maybe it's not Oregon, maybe it's Tennessee,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Ohio State, But to beat any of those three teams, honestly,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: and then Notre Dames or JA Penn State, whoever comes
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: out of that side of the bracket, You're gonna need
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: a true receiver one because I think Texas has been hurting.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: It's been hurting Quinn yours not have that trusted receiver one.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: And as we talked to with CJ. Fogel early in
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: the week, Isaiah Bond is the guy who takes the
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: top off the defense, right He is your deep threat,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: He is your speedster. Texas doesn't really have that. You know,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: maybe John day Cook could have been a good role
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: in that, but guess what John day Cook now with
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: the football team anymore. Bond's been injured. It's definitely hurting
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: this Texas offense no matter how you see it, and
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: not being able to have that deep threat has been
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: hurting the Texas passing game and also hurts the running game.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Because if you're a defense and you're not worried about
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Isaiah Bond, you're worried about shutting down Gunner Helm as
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Georgia did a mistitled game, or focusing on Ryan Wingl
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: or Matthew Golden, you can limit the offense. So for Texas,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I think to be successful, to make a deep run,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: you need, essay a Bond healthy. But it does appear
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: that Bond, according to Pete Thamill, is facing long odds
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: to play on Saturday against Clemson. Now, Calvin Banks, I think,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: I said inside Texas reporting that he may ever turned
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: to practice at the end of the week to believe
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: he's going to start tomorrow, which will be huge for
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Texas and the offensive line that had trouble protecting Quinn
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: and had trouble getting the run game going against Georgia
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: and the SEC title game. Clinton has some big bodies
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: in the d line, but I do think they're going
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: to be able to run the football down the Tigers throats,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: and I think with Wiser or Blue or Gibson will
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: be helpful. I would love to see a little bit
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: more of arch manning in the red zone, depending on
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: how healthy Quinn is. But the red zone leave under
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: eighty percent now in terms of scoring success, that's not
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: high at all. I mean, the offense look good in
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: the red zone the start of the year, but everything
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: has kind of dripped down towards his second half of
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: the year, and a lot that has to do, I
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: think with the injuries to quarterback, receiver, offensive line, and
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: just a lack of debt at running back. We'll get
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: more into this Clemson Texas game. Of course, gonna talk
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: with Craig Way up next, Eric Henry as well get
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: his thoughts on Showdown again. Will be live at Longhorn's
• 8:02
