• 1:32
  have some analysis of it. Of it all coming from
• 1:37
  Gene Watson coming up here in just a few moments.
• 1:40
  And we wanted to hear a little more from Long
• 1:44
  Wren's head coach Steve Sarkis, and he had his news
• 1:46
  conference yesterday, and for sark it was the only media
• 1:53
  availability this week, this being the open date on the schedule,
• 1:57
  so this would be the only opportunity for us to
• 2:05
  be able to hear from sark coming up and sark
• 2:10
  talking about a variety of things, and among those the
• 2:16
  play that a lot of folks saw that Arch Banning
• 2:21
  pulled off in the third quarter laid in the third quarter.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Of the ballgame with Mississippi State.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: It was twenty one to six at that point, and
• 2:34
  we'd already seen Arch banning for a one touchdown pass,
• 2:39
  that beautiful throw down the boundary right before the end
• 2:45
  of the first half when he hit DeAndre Moor and
• 2:50
  stride there.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Right at about the two yard line.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: He went in for the score and that gave the
• 2:56
  long words of fourteen to six halftime lead. Then in
• 3:00
  the third quarter, it remember it was Manning who scored
• 3:03
  to make a twenty one to six And then there
• 3:07
  was the drive there where he early in the fourth
• 3:10
  quarter found more Again, this required a little more work
• 3:17
  on Archer's part other than taking a shot to the face,
• 3:19
  which is what happened on the forty nine yard touchdown pass.
• 3:24
  This one was a deal where he had enough time
• 3:27
  to look over the defense. And I remember we visited
• 3:32
  with DeAndre Moore on the postgame show and I asked
• 3:35
  him about it, and he said, I just had to
• 3:37
  find a path, and he found a way to get
• 3:40
  through it and split two defenders deep in the end
• 3:43
  zone to be able to pull it in. So the
• 3:46
  question then went to Arch Manning about what he saw,
• 3:51
  and he explained what he saw. And then yesterday in
• 3:53
  the news conference, Longwarren's head coach, Steve Sarkishan was asked
• 3:57
  for his thoughts on Manning's progression as a quarterback and
• 4:02
  what he's done as a quarterback to progress to be
• 4:05
  able to be able to read the defense enough to
• 4:08
  see that play develop and then to be able to
• 4:12
  execute it.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: No, it was definitely.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: First of all, I'll say this, You know, you call
• 4:20
  a certain play with a premier coverage of mind, and
• 4:23
  that clearly was not. I did not think they were
• 4:25
  gonna zero blitz us on third and anybody remember the
• 4:28
  down and distance on that play third and there's third
• 4:31
  and long. It was third and Long were right about
• 4:33
  the fifty yard line there near the end of the
• 4:35
  first half, and we actually were anticipating coverage and so
• 4:39
  we were trying to get three verticals. Matt Golden was
• 4:41
  actually running down the middle of the field and they
• 4:44
  actually zero blitzed us. And the beauty of that was
• 4:50
  that when I say zero blitz, there's no safeties and
• 4:52
  they're bringing one more than we have to block. And
• 4:54
  the beauty of it was one that the offensive line
• 4:57
  picked up the five that they could. The second part
• 5:01
  of it was that Arch knew who the free rush
• 5:03
  was going to be. And the third part of it
• 5:06
  was he knew where his man answers were to go
• 5:08
  take a shot. At that point, it was we call
• 5:10
  it dealer's choice. He could have went to ib, he
• 5:12
  could have went to DeAndre. It wasn't designed for one
• 5:14
  of those. The best matchup he went with Dre to
• 5:17
  the field and it was a heck of a throw
• 5:18
  and heck of a catch.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was hit pretty much in essence on that,
• 5:26
  You've heard Sark talk about this, and he mentioned with
• 5:29
  us on the post came about the season being in segments,
• 5:32
  and he looked at these first five ball games as
• 5:35
  one segment before the bye week, the open date, then
• 5:39
  a free game period with Oklahoma, Georgia, and Vanderbilt, then
• 5:44
  there's another bye week.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: And then concluding this.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: So he went into a little more detail about how
• 5:47
  they approach it as a staff and a team, the
• 5:50
  way this season is segmented.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: No, just phase two.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: I save all my creativeness for the play calls, so
• 5:59
  just two. You know the difference is is that that
• 6:04
  first phase, when you think of training camp and then
• 6:06
  a five game slate like that was probably.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: A longer block.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: This is really a four week block with the bye
• 6:12
  week and then a three game schedule, and so we're
• 6:16
  really attacking it as such, you know, of what are
• 6:19
  we doing this week to put ourselves in the best
• 6:21
  position for these next three weeks of the season, and
• 6:24
  then we'll worry about the next block after that. And
• 6:27
  so I think when you can break it down like
• 6:29
  that for the players, it's not so intimidating when you
• 6:33
  look at when you look at the whole duration of
• 6:35
  a season from August all the way until end of January.
• 6:39
  And so we try to break it down the smaller
• 6:41
  segments to keep their attention and focus on the task
• 6:44
  at hand.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: What's what, you know, what's going on right in front
• 6:46
  of them. All Right, we'll have some more from Sark
• 6:48
  a little later on this hour.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Up next, we're talking about these baseball playoffs with our
• 6:53
  MLB insider Gene wats coming up next when we continue
• 6:55
  on sports Radio AM thirteen under the zone of the
• 6:57
  iHeartRadio app.
