Speaker 1: H M. Turn to Glory podcast, ours Arbadiki Austin Roads,
0:23
Speaker 1: go to free tag.
0:25
Speaker 2: What a game this weekend?
0:28
Speaker 3: What the game so fun?
0:33
Speaker 4: Well, I guess let's dive into it. The brass offense
0:35
Speaker 4: looked great against by U, Like they shot they shot
0:38
Speaker 4: the lights out.
0:39
Speaker 2: M right, what a game? We shot it so well?
0:42
Speaker 1: Return feat the number eighteen preseason rank or whatever they
0:47
Speaker 1: are for whatever poll that is.
0:49
Speaker 2: But what a game?
0:51
Speaker 5: That's the game you guys want to talk about, right,
0:54
Speaker 5: That's what I want to talk about.
0:56
Speaker 2: It's all we're talking about.
0:59
Speaker 1: Oh where do we start? Ra Asca loses to Minnesota.
1:08
Speaker 1: I guess I want to ask the question I'm going
1:11
Speaker 1: to be going back to is.
1:12
Speaker 2: How and why? How and why did that happen?
1:19
Speaker 1: It left I think a lot of people speechless, frustrated,
1:23
Speaker 1: full of emotion, pissed off. Here's one thing that I
1:30
Speaker 1: anything I like to do is give it twenty four hours,
1:35
Speaker 1: kind of let everything soak in, don't let raw motion
1:39
Speaker 1: get to you.
1:40
Speaker 2: I did that.
1:42
Speaker 1: I don't know how much things changed for me. I
1:47
Speaker 1: wouldn't say I probably have not as pissed as some
1:50
Speaker 1: people are. But the way that game unfolded, there's a
1:57
Speaker 1: lot of reason to be, and I think the lack
2:03
Speaker 1: of maybe pissed off that I am is maybe showing
2:08
Speaker 1: that I don't quite care as much.
2:10
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't say I don't care, but
2:12
Speaker 2: it's like a I'm not.
2:15
Speaker 3: Are we surprised, No, I mean literally on our Thursday pot,
2:20
Speaker 3: I said, this is like the I picked us to
2:22
Speaker 3: win by three, but it was the perfect game to lose.
2:26
Speaker 3: You know, we ranked twenty five hypes there, We're going
2:30
Speaker 3: to Minnesota on a short week after flying to the
2:33
Speaker 3: east coast of Maryland. How we lost is not how
2:40
Speaker 3: I expected we would have lost.
2:41
Speaker 2: That's the part I'm pissed off about.
2:44
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's the losing is not the part. It's
2:47
Speaker 3: just that we looked like completely different than we've looked
2:51
Speaker 3: the rest of the year. You know, if we lost
2:53
Speaker 3: in a shootout or like you know, twenty seven twenty
2:55
Speaker 3: four that I could have seen coming more so than
3:00
Speaker 3: two field goals in the first half and a second
3:04
Speaker 3: half that just absolutely ran away from us.
3:08
Speaker 4: We I think, looking back on it, at beginning of
3:10
Speaker 4: the year, this was the game we all had a
3:12
Speaker 4: bad feeling about against Minnesota. Now I think we have
3:15
Speaker 4: a worst feeling come out of it just because of
3:17
Speaker 4: how it went.
3:18
Speaker 5: Like we did not expect just an ass kicking.
3:22
Speaker 4: I can't remember where where we had his rings, but
3:25
Speaker 4: it was pretty high on a game Nebraska was probably
3:28
Speaker 4: gonna lose.
3:31
Speaker 2: I agreed. I think.
3:34
Speaker 1: Going into the year, this was the whether you call
3:38
Speaker 1: it a trap game or just a game that we didn't
3:39
Speaker 1: think we'd get, we were gonna win. I think as
3:42
Speaker 1: we got through the first half of the year, Minnesota
3:47
Speaker 1: maybe wasn't quite as good and I don't know where
3:50
Speaker 1: people thought we were at, probably higher than what we
3:53
Speaker 1: should have been.
3:54
Speaker 2: But Whya's saying, are we surprised? Like a lot of
3:56
Speaker 2: the things that Minnesota beat us with.
4:00
Speaker 1: Excience of a lot of those things throughout the first
4:04
Speaker 1: half of the year, we just won those games. And
4:06
Speaker 1: Minnesota is just a lot better at doing some of
4:09
Speaker 1: those things and.
4:12
Speaker 2: Just kicked our ass that way.
4:15
Speaker 1: So I'm not I'm surprised, maybe a little bit, but
4:19
Speaker 1: I think it's more so a little bit concerned with
4:22
Speaker 1: how everybody on the team is going to handle this
4:28
Speaker 1: moving forward and what it kind of implies. And so
4:31
Speaker 1: I think today what I want to do is kind
4:34
Speaker 1: of keep the conversation tailored around short term. When I
4:38
Speaker 1: say short term, like the game itself and not try
4:42
Speaker 1: to look at anything else outside of the game, and
4:45
Speaker 1: then open it up to maybe what it means for
4:47
Speaker 1: the season, and then open it up even big picture
4:51
Speaker 1: for Nebraska football as a whole and a program. So
4:57
Speaker 1: that's how I want to organize everything. And if we
5:02
Speaker 1: go in circles, we go in circles. But the first
5:05
Speaker 1: thing that I want to start off with is the
5:07
Speaker 1: game itself. Is it one of the worst losses for
5:15
Speaker 1: sure in the Matt Rule era, but that we've had
5:19
Speaker 1: in the last ten years.
5:21
Speaker 2: And why I say that we've gotten our asstake before.
5:24
Speaker 1: No, well, we've gotten our asstake before, but not to
5:30
Speaker 1: the caliber team that Minnesota was. Minnesota is not. They're
5:35
Speaker 1: not Ohio State. They're not Indiana last year.
5:38
Speaker 3: They're not.
5:40
Speaker 1: When Michigan killed us. They're not those ten kind of
5:42
Speaker 1: team did. They're Minnesota and they pretty much has dominated us,
5:48
Speaker 1: for sure on the defensive side of the ball, but
5:51
Speaker 1: for the whole game. And so that's why I mean,
5:56
Speaker 1: I have it up there. I don't know if I'd
5:57
Speaker 1: go worse, but I'd have it up there.
5:59
Speaker 3: What of the games.
6:00
Speaker 1: What other games can you think of that we've lost
6:03
Speaker 1: to a team like that the way it happened, where
6:05
Speaker 1: there just wasn't any signs of I'm gonna say Minnesota
6:10
Speaker 1: when it was freezing cold probably five years ago.
6:12
Speaker 2: That's another one.
6:15
Speaker 5: Would you would you say Ucla last year?
6:20
Speaker 1: We did some good things against Ucla last year, and
6:23
Speaker 1: I say Minnesota is very similar to where maybe a
6:26
Speaker 1: little better.
6:26
Speaker 5: But yeah, but that that that game I kind of
6:31
Speaker 5: had the same.
6:32
Speaker 4: I mean, Nebraska didn't get their ass kicks as bad
6:34
Speaker 4: in that game.
6:35
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. We got our ass kicks. I'm
6:37
Speaker 2: not saying the loss. I'm saying how we lost.
6:40
Speaker 5: Yeah, well I can't. I can't eaven another game that bad.
6:47
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying, is like, it's a bad loss
6:49
Speaker 1: in that in that in that sense, and it'd be
6:52
Speaker 1: different if we would have lost twenty four to twenty
6:54
Speaker 1: and kind of we're in the game, I mean, or
6:56
Speaker 1: even even thirteen to ten. Yeah, because the first half
7:01
Speaker 1: we were down seven six of the first half, We're like, okay, whatever,
7:04
Speaker 1: and then the second half it was like oh shit.
7:10
Speaker 3: I mean I think that was probably the most frustrating thing.
7:12
Speaker 3: It felt like we went out in the second half
7:16
Speaker 3: and they were like, Oh, here's what's working. We're just
7:18
Speaker 3: gonna dial it up even more, and we were like,
7:20
Speaker 3: here's what's not working. And I understand there there moments
7:24
Speaker 3: where towards the end of the game is like, Okay,
7:26
Speaker 3: it's out of reach, we have to try for bigger plays.
7:30
Speaker 3: But we just kind of stuck with the same formula
7:33
Speaker 3: for the first half. But it's like, oh, they've gotten
7:35
Speaker 3: five saxes on the five sacks on this on the
7:37
Speaker 3: first half. We really haven't tried to It didn't feel
7:40
Speaker 3: like we tried to change or do anything different.
7:44
Speaker 1: And I don't know that this is the concerning part
7:49
Speaker 1: that it covered up. The wins in previous weeks covered
7:55
Speaker 1: up a lot of the stuff, and we did work
8:00
Speaker 1: on it was like Minnesota was like, oh, yeah, we're
8:02
Speaker 1: just gonna feast and they did over and over and
8:04
Speaker 1: we didn't have any counter to it. Like Michigan State
8:09
Speaker 1: had one sack or whatever going into the game when
8:11
Speaker 1: we played them and they had five against us.
8:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't I mean, yeah, I don't know if
8:17
Speaker 3: the wins covered up because we all knew that our
8:19
Speaker 3: offensive line giving up sacks as a problem, and our
8:22
Speaker 3: run defense.
8:23
Speaker 1: Was it covered up enough to where we didn't work
8:26
Speaker 1: on it and didn't have a counter and didn't know
8:27
Speaker 1: how to adjust to a team that set the house
8:33
Speaker 1: every play, and we had no answer for it, no
8:35
Speaker 1: no counter from a play calling standpoint, obviously from a
8:39
Speaker 1: personnel standpoint, a couple of guys get hurt, we clearly
8:42
Speaker 1: don't have even including those guys like we clearly don't
8:46
Speaker 1: have the right talk about offensive line coaching, but the
8:51
Speaker 1: right coaching and scheme up front to adjust to that stuff.
8:54
Speaker 1: We didn't, and Minnesota just kept doing it and it
8:56
Speaker 1: kept working and it resulted in nine sacks.
9:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, Top, let's go here for you.
9:05
Speaker 4: Here's the Yeah, I lost my voice. I'm not like
9:09
Speaker 4: talking a whole lot today. But here's the thing about
9:13
Speaker 4: Minnesota is PJ. Fleck, which is proven by this point,
9:17
Speaker 4: he knows how to beat Nebraska. All he got in
9:20
Speaker 4: every time he plays Nebraska, he tries out physical home.
9:23
Speaker 4: There's one play in particular that I think proved that
9:26
Speaker 4: he has no respect for I had no respect for
9:30
Speaker 4: the brass offenses. Went's fourth and inches on the fifty
9:33
Speaker 4: yard line. He punks the ball back to him like that.
9:37
Speaker 4: That's just saying, hey, we don't think you're you're going
9:40
Speaker 4: to move the ball on us. Our defenses has been
9:43
Speaker 4: out physical you this whole game and want back to you.
9:48
Speaker 3: We're not gonna give you any favorites. You guys gotta
9:52
Speaker 3: win this one.
9:55
Speaker 2: That's been the formula, and they did it again. Yeah, it.
10:01
Speaker 1: Flex a good coach. Take all the antics away that
10:06
Speaker 1: he does. You can laugh at him all you want.
10:10
Speaker 1: He knows how to beat us, but in general he knows.
10:12
Speaker 1: But here's what I Here's what I think really frustrates
10:14
Speaker 1: people a lot is Minnesota and Iowa was I'm not
10:19
Speaker 1: gonna say as exactly what Nebraska usul to do back
10:21
Speaker 1: in the day, but they win games by playing physical,
10:24
Speaker 1: let the other teams beat themselves. Mainly run heavy, focused,
10:29
Speaker 1: and play good defense. Like that's their formula to win.
10:34
Speaker 1: And I think if take everything out aside, if you
10:38
Speaker 1: were a Nebraska fan, that's what a lot of people
10:39
Speaker 1: are like, Yeah, you're we're itching and.
10:41
Speaker 2: Want to be that. But then there's a stigmatism of well,
10:44
Speaker 2: you're never gonna win.
10:47
Speaker 1: College football playoff gamer, You're never gonna be elite with
10:50
Speaker 1: that formula.
10:50
Speaker 5: Well, guess what, you're never.
10:52
Speaker 1: Gonna get there if you can't beat teams like that,
10:56
Speaker 1: and we're just we're not.
10:57
Speaker 2: We're not there. I think we were, we've been were
11:00
Speaker 2: shadowed by the talent conversation, all these skilled players, and yeah,
11:04
Speaker 2: that's great to have, that's awesome. But if you're not.
11:07
Speaker 1: The most physical, punishing team in everything that you do
11:13
Speaker 1: and have a little bit of brash, just mean, tough
11:18
Speaker 1: guy mentality, you're not gonna win games like this. Now,
11:22
Speaker 1: take all that back, We're probably gonna match up well
11:25
Speaker 1: with a USC team because guess what, USC is kind
11:27
Speaker 1: of like that. But when it comes down to some
11:30
Speaker 1: of these teams in the Big Ten, like your, Minnesota's, Iowa's,
11:33
Speaker 1: Penn State, when we play like we're not we're physically
11:37
Speaker 1: not built to beat those teams. And we found that
11:40
Speaker 1: out in a hard, hard way on Friday night.
11:43
Speaker 5: That's that's the thing is.
11:44
Speaker 4: Think about the two loss to Nebraska had this year.
11:48
Speaker 4: In the wins, the wins they've had are teams that
11:50
Speaker 4: are not do not play physical. The two losses that
11:53
Speaker 4: they've had Mishkian and Minnesota, they want to play physical.
11:57
Speaker 4: So like there's a blueprint howd beat Nebraska it and
12:02
Speaker 4: and coming in the game. Minnesota didn't really run the
12:04
Speaker 4: ball well this season so far.
12:07
Speaker 5: You know they did this game. They rained all over them.
12:10
Speaker 1: And we shouldn't be surprised by that because that's how
12:13
Speaker 1: what they do and that's what we're bad at.
12:19
Speaker 3: I'm just trying to wrap my head around because I mean,
12:24
Speaker 3: in the moment, I was just like, whatever, it's fine.
12:32
Speaker 3: I just don't know what we do going forward. That's
12:34
Speaker 3: my That's the thing.
12:36
Speaker 2: We're still in game season yet, but yes.
12:39
Speaker 3: Well I don't honestly, we're in game. Yeah, we got
12:42
Speaker 3: our asses kicked. That's what we keep talking in game.
12:45
Speaker 3: But what I what else is there talking about?
12:47
Speaker 2: I got a billion things to talk about it all.
12:49
Speaker 3: Right, Well, then you get going because all they did
12:51
Speaker 3: was they rushed us. We could we could not keep
12:54
Speaker 3: them out of the backfield. Everyone's blaming Dylan Rayl for
12:56
Speaker 3: on the ball too long. Well, half the time it
12:59
Speaker 3: was the left tackle that was getting beaten, so you
13:01
Speaker 3: didn't even know that someone was coming. Sure, as pocket
13:04
Speaker 3: present need to step up sometimes, but you can't. To
13:08
Speaker 3: just put it all on Dylan is insane. I don't
13:10
Speaker 3: think here's.
13:12
Speaker 1: People are, yeah, yeah, here's here's my other big thing
13:16
Speaker 1: of the why and what the hell? Why did we
13:19
Speaker 1: look so uninspired and like like, yeah, we had every
13:24
Speaker 1: reason to go there as a five and one team
13:27
Speaker 1: just got ranked and momentums going, Minnesota's had our number.
13:33
Speaker 2: We knew that, we know that we looked.
13:36
Speaker 1: We went there and looked like I like, we didn't
13:39
Speaker 1: care a little bit, Like that's what that's what the
13:42
Speaker 1: vibe was. And I know people that went to the
13:43
Speaker 1: game they said the same thing. It just didn't look
13:45
Speaker 1: like we were fired up to play that game. And
13:48
Speaker 1: from the get go, Minnesota's crowd and we knew Minnesota's
13:50
Speaker 1: crowd is what we we know all that. So that's
13:53
Speaker 1: what I can't figure out is why was this team
13:55
Speaker 1: so like dole for this moment and the televised it
14:01
Speaker 1: makes zero sense and probably speaks a lot of volume
14:05
Speaker 1: to a little bit of the conversations had in the lock. Again,
14:10
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not I'm not trying to say imply
14:13
Speaker 1: that everything's a disaster right now, but how can we
14:18
Speaker 1: not be fired up and juiced for this game?
14:20
Speaker 4: So do you think do you think Fleck saw that
14:24
Speaker 4: it was like okay, because this game kind of went
14:27
Speaker 4: We're gonna eventually just.
14:28
Speaker 5: Break these guys, like it's gonna be.
14:32
Speaker 4: We're gonna keep running ball on them and keep giving
14:34
Speaker 4: their offense short fields and eventually we're gonna break this team.
14:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's their formula. That's that's how they win. Yeah,
14:43
Speaker 1: And they probably said this is a team, a perfect
14:45
Speaker 1: team to just pounce on and do that based on
14:48
Speaker 1: the situation. That's probably that's probably what they said. And
14:51
Speaker 1: and it obviously worked. My other thing with the game
14:59
Speaker 1: and I I I put code reds down. I think
15:02
Speaker 1: these are code reds now. I'm not putting them burn them,
15:05
Speaker 1: but I think it's like, look out, Austin. You mentioned
15:09
Speaker 1: the offensive line that's code red number one, two and
15:12
Speaker 1: three and four, Like that's we did.
15:15
Speaker 3: We did lose. I mean, Pritchett was out for the
15:22
Speaker 3: the targeting call correct, and was Spindler hurt?
15:28
Speaker 2: Spindler got hurt very early.
15:30
Speaker 1: And I get it a little bit, there's injuries, but
15:33
Speaker 1: as far as just Geem and Gunner Gatula, oh boy.
15:39
Speaker 2: Just Corkoran has to has to come in.
15:41
Speaker 1: And apparently he played a lot last week too, and
15:44
Speaker 1: nobody noticed him.
15:45
Speaker 2: It wasn't bad that not this week.
15:49
Speaker 3: Corkoran was in the in the game last week in
15:51
Speaker 3: the last two minutes.
15:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, and oh again, Minnesota or Michigan State, Maryland. The
16:02
Speaker 1: type of teams they are, they're not. I mean, we
16:06
Speaker 1: match up. We're in that tier just so, if you'll
16:08
Speaker 1: go back to it, we're in that tier, in the
16:10
Speaker 1: middle tier where them, we're with them, and your Minnesota
16:12
Speaker 1: and Iowa's are still a step ahead of us because
16:14
Speaker 1: they have the physicality over us and the toughness and
16:18
Speaker 1: the trenches. It starts with the offensive line, and it's
16:22
Speaker 1: a little bit gets shadowed when you win a game.
16:26
Speaker 1: We knew our offensive line is not great. We've been
16:28
Speaker 1: seeing it. But when you get your ass kicked like this,
16:30
Speaker 1: you go, oh boy, like it starts building a foundation
16:34
Speaker 1: there and I.
16:37
Speaker 2: Victim of it too. We all are.
16:39
Speaker 1: We've been very excited and juiced up about all of
16:42
Speaker 1: these transfers and the skill players we're getting. And until
16:47
Speaker 1: we start paying offensive linemen money and a lot of
16:50
Speaker 1: which which we did pay purchase, I guess which would
16:53
Speaker 1: I guess I don't know.
16:54
Speaker 3: Spindlert, But until like get an offensive line and it's
17:00
Speaker 3: worth a shit it's to start and then build around.
17:03
Speaker 5: It like that.
17:04
Speaker 1: That that to me is it's so important. And obviously
17:09
Speaker 1: this game that demonstrates that. The second thing with this
17:14
Speaker 1: game that if another code read that we know and
17:17
Speaker 1: we've kind of brushed off a little bit because we won,
17:20
Speaker 1: Dylan still has zero legs and it's it. Yeah, he
17:24
Speaker 1: can't he can't move. He maybe is a little more elusive, right.
17:27
Speaker 1: He had a couple of times which was great that
17:29
Speaker 1: he was able to escape and improvise, and he had
17:33
Speaker 1: a couple of neat cool passes that were very i'm
17:37
Speaker 1: gonna call him athletic but talented to get off like
17:40
Speaker 1: that's great, But.
17:41
Speaker 2: He still doesn't have legs. He's still not mobile.
17:44
Speaker 1: It still results in a lot of sacks. And I'm
17:46
Speaker 1: with you, Austin, it's a combination of everything. It's not
17:52
Speaker 1: all on Dylan, but at from a from a scheming perspective,
17:56
Speaker 1: from a from a hey, this is what we have
17:59
Speaker 1: right now.
18:00
Speaker 2: Ro line is not very good.
18:03
Speaker 1: There's obviously coaching you can do, but there's also a
18:05
Speaker 1: point of they're just not very good. So therefore you
18:09
Speaker 1: got to have a guy in the backfield that can
18:12
Speaker 1: do a little on Dylan's legs.
18:13
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
18:15
Speaker 1: If I was coaching Dylan and you might get him
18:18
Speaker 1: to trained for I don't know, Dylan. You gotta lose
18:20
Speaker 1: twenty pounds and you gotta find a way to run.
18:23
Speaker 1: You have to.
18:23
Speaker 2: There's no excuse you can't. You cannot be.
18:26
Speaker 1: The way you are as a pocket first quarterback with
18:28
Speaker 1: our offensive line. It's not gonna merge. Well, and that
18:31
Speaker 1: was my big I don't call him epiphany or thought
18:35
Speaker 1: that I had. You can get away with being a
18:37
Speaker 1: passing quarterback if you have an average to above average
18:41
Speaker 1: offensive line. That's why Alabama, Georgia, LSU those teams have
18:48
Speaker 1: kind of some pass first quarterbacks because.
18:52
Speaker 2: You can play to that strength. But if you have an.
18:54
Speaker 1: Average to a below average offensive line or a shitty
18:57
Speaker 1: offensive line, you can't have a passing quarterback not match.
19:00
Speaker 1: It doesn't work. It does not work. You have to
19:02
Speaker 1: have a guy that can move back there. And so, yes,
19:04
Speaker 1: I'm saying it right now. T J.
19:06
Speaker 2: Latif needs to play something.
19:07
Speaker 1: I don't know what in what capacity, but he needs
19:10
Speaker 1: to be in there at times to add that threat
19:14
Speaker 1: to an opposing teams defense. I'm not saying it's because
19:17
Speaker 1: Dylan's bad. It's because Dylan can't move and teams are
19:22
Speaker 1: not preparing. They don't have to prepare for a quarterback
19:26
Speaker 1: run game at all because they know he can't do it.
19:29
Speaker 2: He can't.
19:30
Speaker 1: So that's my Dylan legs code red because it's not
19:35
Speaker 1: good with the mesh with the offensive line. Get a
19:38
Speaker 1: good offensive line. Dylan's a perfect quarterback. I love it,
19:43
Speaker 1: but with the offensive line mesh, it's not good.
19:50
Speaker 3: I disagree. I think it's a bad take. Why I
19:54
Speaker 3: think you could fix that with more short passes. I
19:58
Speaker 3: mean the fact that Jacry Varney only have one reception
20:01
Speaker 3: and he's like kind of your slot guy. You have
20:03
Speaker 3: to get that. You just have to put him in
20:05
Speaker 3: position to get the ball out. Quicker, I don't know
20:07
Speaker 3: if he needs.
20:08
Speaker 2: Why don't we do it?
20:10
Speaker 3: I don't know why we don't do it. I straight
20:12
Speaker 3: up don't know. Why don't we run the ball? More
20:17
Speaker 3: about that?
20:18
Speaker 2: Why I think we run the ball more?
20:20
Speaker 1: Because you have an added element of a quarterback run
20:22
Speaker 1: game and we don't just can't do it, And maybe
20:25
Speaker 1: they're worried about getting hurt.
20:27
Speaker 4: I'm I'm totally with you, Hunter. I this is the
20:31
Speaker 4: first game I've actually thought about, like you seriously thought about,
20:35
Speaker 4: like it might be time depending on what the offensive
20:40
Speaker 4: mind keeps looking like time to like put in Latif.
20:43
Speaker 2: Is not I'm not saying Latif play every freaking down.
20:46
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that.
20:47
Speaker 1: I'm saying, have packages kind of like the Heinrich Harbert stuff,
20:50
Speaker 1: where we have a threat of a of a quarterback
20:53
Speaker 1: run game, where teams have to prepare for it, and
20:56
Speaker 1: and it's it's an added element to your offense that
20:59
Speaker 1: teams now have to go, Okay, we we can't just
21:02
Speaker 1: pin our ears back and go.
21:05
Speaker 2: Because of our.
21:07
Speaker 3: Though they still could, our offensive line isn't good enough
21:10
Speaker 3: for them to.
21:10
Speaker 1: Like, no, no, When you have a quarterback run game,
21:13
Speaker 1: it puts a pause on what teams can do defensively.
21:19
Speaker 2: It does.
21:20
Speaker 1: I watch all of these other Division one teams that
21:23
Speaker 1: have I'm not even gonna call the mobile quarterbacks, guys
21:26
Speaker 1: that can I was watching Missouri against Auburn. Okay, when
21:30
Speaker 1: you have Bo Pribble, who's not a running quarterback, he's he's.
21:34
Speaker 2: Like a I don't know how a.
21:37
Speaker 1: Comparison like guy guys that can move a little bit.
21:39
Speaker 1: But Washington kind of yeah, like guys like a little
21:44
Speaker 1: bit mobile. Like teams cannot do what they do to
21:47
Speaker 1: Nebraska right now. They do it because Dylan cannot run.
21:50
Speaker 1: There's we will we have. We ran one QB draw
21:53
Speaker 1: the whole time. Why why like and maybe we forced
21:56
Speaker 1: Dylan to run. I don't know, But he's not a
21:59
Speaker 1: threat of teams offensively. Now can scheme around that. That's
22:03
Speaker 1: my point. And if you have a threat of a
22:07
Speaker 1: guy that can run it, then you can. And I agree, Austin,
22:10
Speaker 1: you can throw start throwing more short passes. I got
22:12
Speaker 1: f I freaking hope that we start adding some of that.
22:15
Speaker 1: But it's not we didn't have that counter this game.
22:17
Speaker 2: We didn't.
22:18
Speaker 1: We did We weren't able to do anything across the middle.
22:20
Speaker 1: We didn't throw any We didn't have that. How we
22:23
Speaker 1: haven't had that. It's not like this is new and
22:25
Speaker 1: we're just figuring out that our offensive line sucks like
22:27
Speaker 1: we've had that.
22:28
Speaker 2: So what are we doing? I don't know, Dana, like
22:30
Speaker 2: I have no idea.
22:32
Speaker 5: But we're both not saying that sucks.
22:34
Speaker 2: Like No, I'm not I'm not saying that at all.
22:36
Speaker 2: I'm saying he's a good quarterback.
22:38
Speaker 1: I'm saying it's it's a messure with our offensive line
22:40
Speaker 1: that's shitty.
22:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I disagree. I don't think putting in the
22:46
Speaker 3: I don't think taking out your better player to put
22:48
Speaker 3: in a less better player is the approach.
22:50
Speaker 2: I'm not saying.
22:53
Speaker 1: He's not better than Dylan and he's a Lespit, but
22:55
Speaker 1: I'm saying he adds a running element that he is
22:59
Speaker 1: better than Dylan and I and maybe not maybe he
23:03
Speaker 1: maybe he can't handle and I don't know, maybe he can't,
23:06
Speaker 1: but I'm saying it's a threat. Again what we did
23:08
Speaker 1: with Heinrich Harberg last year a little bit that when
23:11
Speaker 1: he comes in the game, teams go, oh, he can move,
23:16
Speaker 1: and now we can't do X, Y and Z. And
23:20
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's because the latief's good. I'm just
23:22
Speaker 1: saying in general, that's a that is a general idea
23:27
Speaker 1: or take that I have about football in general, nothing
23:29
Speaker 1: to do with Dylan, nothing with anything that if you
23:31
Speaker 1: don't have an offensive line, you can't have a pass
23:35
Speaker 1: firs quarterback. It fails miserably. Look at some of the
23:38
Speaker 1: NFL teams that try to do that. If your offensive
23:40
Speaker 1: line sucks and you don't have a guy that can
23:41
Speaker 1: move back there. That's why Adrienne was able to shadow
23:44
Speaker 1: some of the stuff because Adrian could catch it and
23:46
Speaker 1: then go and move right. Yeah, if Adriane was with
23:49
Speaker 1: this team, we wouldn't have as many sacks. That's a fact.
23:53
Speaker 1: There's still be some, right, There's still be like quite
23:55
Speaker 1: a few. But part of the reason why we have
23:57
Speaker 1: a lot of sacks is that Dylan's still slow and
24:00
Speaker 1: can't call it that pocket present some people are using
24:04
Speaker 1: that term. I mean that maybe is probably part of it,
24:07
Speaker 1: but it's it's being elusive, and Dylan's better at it
24:09
Speaker 1: than he was last year. He definitely is. He's definitely
24:12
Speaker 1: better escaping. He did it several times this game because
24:16
Speaker 1: he had to as well. We could have had fourteen
24:18
Speaker 1: sacks and said that didn't see a record it could have.
24:22
Speaker 1: So I'm not saying he's bad at it. I'm just
24:23
Speaker 1: saying our offensive line is that poor that I would
24:29
Speaker 1: take a look at finding some way. Either get Dylan
24:32
Speaker 1: to lose twenty pounds, which you can't do in season,
24:35
Speaker 1: and make him a little more of a runner, or
24:37
Speaker 1: make your offensive line and pay it fourteen million dollars
24:41
Speaker 1: for an offensive line and go poach everybody, you can
24:44
Speaker 1: like one or the other. I think that mess. I
24:47
Speaker 1: think that Mesh is not good. I think I just
24:49
Speaker 1: I think it's hard for Dylan. And you know what,
24:51
Speaker 1: Dylan probably sees it too, Like Dylan's frustrated as hell
24:54
Speaker 1: because he has guys in his face constantly every game.
24:58
Speaker 1: Like that's frustrating quarterback. So it's got to go one
25:01
Speaker 1: way or the other. We can't just continue on with
25:04
Speaker 1: a two out of ten offensive line and a nine
25:06
Speaker 1: or eight or nine out of ten quarterback. It does
25:08
Speaker 1: not mesh. It doesn't merge for an offense. And we
25:10
Speaker 1: found that out big time against Minnesota.
25:17
Speaker 3: I I guess my counter would be we've scored over
25:21
Speaker 3: thirty points or twenty seven or more points the last
25:25
Speaker 3: four games.
25:25
Speaker 5: Yep.
25:26
Speaker 1: Against again, I'm talking about against teams that are physical
25:28
Speaker 1: as hell up front and beating teams like Minnesota and Michigan, Iowa,
25:33
Speaker 1: Penn State, which maybe that's okay. Maybe maybe we are
25:36
Speaker 1: okay with going eight and four and making a little
25:38
Speaker 1: step away.
25:39
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe that's still part of the process.
25:41
Speaker 1: And you just you say, you know what, we here's
25:44
Speaker 1: here's where why we lost those four games, and now
25:46
Speaker 1: we're winning these others, which is a step forward. And
25:49
Speaker 1: now next year, here's where we got to add to
25:53
Speaker 1: our team to make.
25:54
Speaker 2: Us beat minnesot Maybe that's where things are at. I
25:57
Speaker 2: don't know.
26:00
Speaker 1: Red flag two or code red for endgame that I
26:02
Speaker 1: saw tackling like.
26:05
Speaker 2: It was horrific.
26:06
Speaker 3: It was terrible.
26:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't understand that either.
26:10
Speaker 1: And maybe this blends with my next Code red comes
26:13
Speaker 1: down to just physicality and toughness, Like I don't know,
26:17
Speaker 1: we don't know what we're doing in practice, and this
26:19
Speaker 1: is what Minnesota and these teams do that they.
26:23
Speaker 2: Really put the color on the writing on the wall.
26:28
Speaker 1: If you don't have it, and I it, it makes
26:31
Speaker 1: you question what the hell are we doing in practice
26:35
Speaker 1: from a tackling, physicality toughness standpoint.
26:38
Speaker 2: I don't know if you've listened to any Minnesota stuff
26:41
Speaker 2: they said.
26:41
Speaker 1: They do some like I don't even know, basically like
26:44
Speaker 1: a gauntlet physicality type of drill every day at practice
26:49
Speaker 1: for like five to ten minutes.
26:50
Speaker 2: It's one of their sessions they do every day.
26:52
Speaker 1: They must have did it for like twenty five to
26:54
Speaker 1: thirty minutes leading up to this game to basically overemphasize
26:58
Speaker 1: we're gonna physically be.
26:59
Speaker 2: The snot out. Yeah, I don't know what we're doing
27:02
Speaker 2: and probably we're not going to know.
27:04
Speaker 1: That was a code red of like, oh crap, after
27:06
Speaker 1: a game like this, we don't do those things, and
27:10
Speaker 1: when that's what you want to believe in as a program,
27:13
Speaker 1: that was like, oh shit, the way that again, with
27:17
Speaker 1: the way that game ended up, if it would have
27:18
Speaker 1: been twenty four to twenty and we kind of held
27:20
Speaker 1: our own and loft because it different story, but the
27:23
Speaker 1: way that we just physically got dominated it was bad,
27:30
Speaker 1: very bad, very bad.
27:33
Speaker 3: Third down defense is terrible.
27:35
Speaker 2: Third down defense yet again, red zone offense again.
27:40
Speaker 3: I mean, these are all things that we've been bad.
27:41
Speaker 3: We just won and we all knew that these were
27:44
Speaker 3: issues and it just didn't work out this week.
27:47
Speaker 2: And unfortunately, the big plays weren't there this week, no
27:51
Speaker 2: big plays. And I feel like our wins. I said,
27:57
Speaker 2: you know, winning close is the best way to win, because.
27:59
Speaker 1: You were able to work on things that maybe weren't
28:02
Speaker 1: as good.
28:02
Speaker 2: You could that you can still see them. But he
28:04
Speaker 2: came out with the win. I don't think we.
28:06
Speaker 1: Took those things seriously enough to correct them, and Minnesota
28:10
Speaker 1: just said, oh, here's what they suck at here's where
28:12
Speaker 1: their opinions ad on it, and let's just let's let's
28:16
Speaker 1: let's beat them. Let's beat them by overpowering their weaknesses.
28:20
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what they did.
28:23
Speaker 2: In every every part of the game.
28:25
Speaker 1: Really, I mean the one one positive you got a
28:28
Speaker 1: positive archie, I mean.
28:33
Speaker 2: And that and that.
28:34
Speaker 1: That is also why this game I think this is
28:37
Speaker 1: the off so much. We didn't turn the ball over.
28:41
Speaker 1: Our special teams was pretty solid. It was literally we
28:45
Speaker 1: just got our ask it. Yeah, it wasn't like we
28:48
Speaker 1: really beat ourselves from a penal penalties. I mean, had
28:52
Speaker 1: a couple of bad penalties, but like we just got
28:56
Speaker 1: dominated that That is why it's.
29:00
Speaker 2: Coche read alarming.
29:03
Speaker 5: Here's another part that's got to piss you off.
29:04
Speaker 4: Is when they did pass the ball, it was the
29:07
Speaker 4: same passes every time underneath throughout every time. They they
29:12
Speaker 4: never tried to throw the ball deep once like that
29:14
Speaker 4: I can't remember at all. It was the same un
29:15
Speaker 4: dumb underneath what mesh out whatever to the wide receiver,
29:21
Speaker 4: like and they knew that coming in. That's what he
29:24
Speaker 4: That's what that quarterback does. Like he doesn't throw the
29:26
Speaker 4: ball deep. That's that's all they do. So it's like,
29:29
Speaker 4: what what game plan did Nebraska have come into this game?
29:35
Speaker 2: Yeah?
29:36
Speaker 1: And seriously stuff that you see Minnesota iowauld do all
29:43
Speaker 1: the time.
29:45
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like did you even watch tape?
29:47
Speaker 4: Like you knew what they were gonna try to do,
29:49
Speaker 4: and they did it, like and they ran.
29:51
Speaker 1: The ball like Minnesota could like that's maybe not what
29:55
Speaker 1: they've been doing this year so far, but they probably said,
29:58
Speaker 1: you know what, Nebraska is the team that's weak.
30:01
Speaker 2: This is this is how this is how we beat them.
30:03
Speaker 2: This is what we do. This is our roots.
30:08
Speaker 3: That run defense has been bad all year.
30:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so are we surprised?
30:12
Speaker 3: No?
30:13
Speaker 1: And yeah, like from a defensive adjustment standpoint, I didn't
30:17
Speaker 1: that wasn't good either, Like we know Austome to your
30:21
Speaker 1: point about getting the ball off quick, even talk about
30:24
Speaker 1: getting the ball at quick, like Minnesota sat there and
30:26
Speaker 1: went dunk dunk, dunk, Like I get.
30:29
Speaker 3: All down the field and are we cond tackled? So
30:31
Speaker 3: every every dunk pass became like a seven yard eight
30:34
Speaker 3: ten yard game.
30:35
Speaker 1: I mean when when I was watching the game with
30:38
Speaker 1: my mom, when my mom and she goes, why don't
30:42
Speaker 1: why can't we do that?
30:43
Speaker 2: Why are they so wide open. Why why don't we
30:45
Speaker 2: do that?
30:46
Speaker 1: When when someone like that can watch the game and
30:48
Speaker 1: go and understand that, and then on the flip side
30:51
Speaker 1: say why don't we do that on offense, It's like,
30:53
Speaker 1: oh God, is it really that simple?
30:56
Speaker 2: I guess I don't know. I don't know what we
30:57
Speaker 2: have in the playbook either side.
31:00
Speaker 3: What don't we have in the playbook. It's the biggest
31:02
Speaker 3: book of the phase of the Earth. It's so complex
31:05
Speaker 3: and large.
31:06
Speaker 4: Every every time they would even try to run the
31:09
Speaker 4: ball to Nebraska would be there for like a one
31:12
Speaker 4: two yard game and it always turned into like a
31:14
Speaker 4: five six yard run because they were.
31:16
Speaker 3: Making contact behind the line or at the line all night.
31:20
Speaker 5: Yeah, just fall forward for five yard fives. Every time
31:24
Speaker 5: it was it.
31:24
Speaker 2: Was like screenplay right there. Nope, six yards every Yeah,
31:30
Speaker 2: that's all I did.
31:31
Speaker 5: They They just digging dunk all the way down the field.
31:34
Speaker 3: It was like, yeah, once once Minneapolis. Once Minnesota had
31:40
Speaker 3: that that one long drive and started second half, Oh yeah,
31:47
Speaker 3: you just knew, You're like, okay, you know, I think
31:51
Speaker 3: we were only down one still at that point.
31:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that was one to go to yep,
31:58
Speaker 1: so that dry I have two is what put everybody
32:02
Speaker 1: into just this is why taking everything outside of Nebraska, Minnesota,
32:10
Speaker 1: who the teams were, this is why this hurts.
32:14
Speaker 2: That is exactly like the.
32:15
Speaker 1: Definition of that just as a as a fan of
32:18
Speaker 1: football and watching a team just humiliate a team on
32:22
Speaker 1: a ninety eight seventeen play, just convert third down like
32:27
Speaker 1: you watch that and you which want to smile as
32:28
Speaker 1: a fan, like god, that was perfect. Run seven eight
32:31
Speaker 1: minutes off the clock when you're up in town, like
32:33
Speaker 1: you just go, dah, that's just it's a masterclass of coaching,
32:37
Speaker 1: of executing. Take take Nebraska out of it, like you,
32:41
Speaker 1: that's exactly.
32:42
Speaker 2: What you want to do. We we don't. We don't.
32:45
Speaker 1: We don't have that in our team like to do
32:47
Speaker 1: something like that. We fit from a physicality standpoint, I
32:49
Speaker 1: don't think we can do that. And that's that's where
32:51
Speaker 1: it also pisses me off. You it happens to you
32:54
Speaker 1: and you go, oh my god, that just that just sucks.
32:57
Speaker 2: Well and we can't do that.
32:59
Speaker 1: And that's that's what hurts a lot is when that
33:02
Speaker 1: happens and it was like again credit to PJ. Flake, Minnesota,
33:05
Speaker 1: all of and they are that's that they know how
33:10
Speaker 1: to win games like this. Now, are they Ohio State? No,
33:14
Speaker 1: they got beat whatever thirty four to zero against them
33:19
Speaker 1: last week, but it just was I don't know, it
33:25
Speaker 1: was it was. It was pretty to watch from a
33:26
Speaker 1: football standpoint. It hurts a ton as ahscar fan.
33:31
Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
33:35
Speaker 1: That's about all my game stuff. I mean, we've kind
33:37
Speaker 1: of jumped into it a little bit. But for the
33:39
Speaker 1: rest of the season, like, where do we go from here?
33:41
Speaker 3: Like?
33:41
Speaker 2: What where that was?
33:45
Speaker 1: Like I said, I I don't know how the team's
33:47
Speaker 1: taking it, but I think that's one of the more
33:49
Speaker 1: humiliating losses that we've had, especially with rule here. How
33:54
Speaker 1: we respond, what the message is like in the locker
33:57
Speaker 1: room to move forward. We play Northwestern this week on
34:02
Speaker 1: Saturday eleven am.
34:03
Speaker 5: Kick or play physical.
34:05
Speaker 1: Northwestern's coming off a nineteen zero win against Purdue. They're
34:10
Speaker 1: trying to play more physical. I think they're five and
34:12
Speaker 1: two now, which is weird. They're kind of were supposed
34:14
Speaker 1: to be kind of the bottom of the Big Ten,
34:15
Speaker 1: which they're still down there, but they're also winning some games.
34:19
Speaker 2: Our record yep, it's like, where do we go from here?
34:23
Speaker 1: Like, how do we win this week? What's the game plan.
34:26
Speaker 1: What's the focus with what we have?
34:32
Speaker 3: I don't know, I honestly don't know. I mean outside
34:35
Speaker 3: of what our normal game plan is. But that obviously
34:38
Speaker 3: didn't work against Minnesota.
34:39
Speaker 1: I mean, what would you guys do this week? How
34:41
Speaker 1: would you approach the mindset of the players?
34:47
Speaker 3: That's tough not being in the locker room and not
34:49
Speaker 3: knowing where they're actor, because they could be fired up
34:51
Speaker 3: and be like, man, you're right, we really goof that
34:56
Speaker 3: one up like that one was. We came out flat.
34:59
Speaker 3: We deserve to get our kick. That's not happening again.
35:02
Speaker 3: I think that's probably the message you putched, like, hey,
35:05
Speaker 3: you know we got we got our asses handed to us.
35:08
Speaker 3: We're not that's not happening again. You know we're gonna
35:11
Speaker 3: deliver the next punch and just so happens that Northwestern's
35:14
Speaker 3: gonna be the one who catches it. And that's what
35:17
Speaker 3: you push. I don't know what they have to push
35:19
Speaker 3: in there, but.
35:23
Speaker 4: You you've got to have the most physical week of
35:25
Speaker 4: practice ever, like like why you you gotta be kissed
35:29
Speaker 4: off all week about why even come out flat in
35:32
Speaker 4: this game? And this will show a lot come out
35:35
Speaker 4: of lots like that. If they come out fly against Northwestern,
35:38
Speaker 4: then this team's like, basically, that's they're showing what they are.
35:42
Speaker 5: They fooled onto your basically, like, you gotta.
35:44
Speaker 4: Come out fired up in this game and it'll show early.
35:48
Speaker 5: But what I would do is you you just gotta
35:51
Speaker 5: be physical. And the offensive line, I don't know what
35:54
Speaker 5: the hell you do.
35:55
Speaker 3: They're like, oh, we'll be back, which will hold.
36:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, I that I chew their ass this week, and
36:07
Speaker 1: we're gonna see how physically and mentally mentally tough, right,
36:10
Speaker 1: more than physically even you know, you're you talk a
36:13
Speaker 1: lot about the physical part of practice. Mentally you you
36:17
Speaker 1: just you that's where you gotta chew everybody's ass for
36:20
Speaker 1: the way that game happened.
36:22
Speaker 2: And this week is.
36:23
Speaker 1: Going to be just a bitch week, and you're gonna
36:26
Speaker 1: see who the mentally tough people are.
36:28
Speaker 2: Now, that's what I would do. I'm hoping this staff
36:30
Speaker 2: does it.
36:31
Speaker 1: If we don't, You're right, Northwestern is gonna come out
36:35
Speaker 1: and if we are mentally soft, and that's where I'm
36:38
Speaker 1: not putting a code red flag on it right now,
36:40
Speaker 1: but I'm getting I'm getting there yellow. If we're mentally
36:44
Speaker 1: soft and not not emotionally there if our heads are
36:49
Speaker 1: not in the right place. And it starts with Dylan Royola.
36:52
Speaker 1: From a toughness standpoint, I don't know that Dylan's very tough.
36:55
Speaker 1: I just think he's a little bit city boy likes
37:01
Speaker 1: this is this is me, I I need I need
37:04
Speaker 1: this this and like, I think he's a little bit
37:06
Speaker 1: of a like. I want to see how mentally tough
37:08
Speaker 1: Dylan is this week. Let's see how he responds to
37:12
Speaker 1: getting physically beat up. Are we gonna make excuses? Are
37:15
Speaker 1: we gonna come out and and blame others as a
37:19
Speaker 1: coaching staff? You know, this is another thing, and it's
37:22
Speaker 1: a small thing. I don't think I said it last time,
37:24
Speaker 1: but it kind of drive you nuts a little bit.
37:27
Speaker 1: And I think I laughed about it last week. But
37:29
Speaker 1: Dylan has a freaking hand war Morah, Like what uh,
37:32
Speaker 1: it's little things like that, Like what, what's the reason
37:35
Speaker 1: behind it? I don't know, And maybe there is, but
37:37
Speaker 1: it's like it's small things. I just think it's mindsets
37:40
Speaker 1: a little bit.
37:42
Speaker 2: I don't know. So we're gonna see.
37:43
Speaker 1: It starts with Dylan, but it goes to the rest
37:45
Speaker 1: of the team that this is going to be a
37:47
Speaker 1: tough week, and if you come and fired up and
37:51
Speaker 1: react because we're pissed, we got our asses kicked, which
37:53
Speaker 1: I hope they are. I God, I hope they are.
37:56
Speaker 1: Then I think we'll be okay against Northwestern. I think
37:59
Speaker 1: we'll be okay hey, in the next few games here
38:02
Speaker 1: and put the piece of spot heading into the end
38:05
Speaker 1: of the season. But if we don't, and we're not
38:08
Speaker 1: very mentally tough and our culture is not strong, it's
38:14
Speaker 1: good at what's gonna show.
38:18
Speaker 2: On Saturday.
38:19
Speaker 4: I felt like even in the postgame prest conferences, like
38:22
Speaker 4: they didn't seem the players not it didn't seem that.
38:25
Speaker 5: Fissed off like as as I thought they should have been.
38:28
Speaker 1: Like so, I don't know, like I I hope this
38:33
Speaker 1: is this is This is the fine line. As a coach,
38:36
Speaker 1: do you do you try to say, oh, brush that
38:37
Speaker 1: one off, Okay, it happened, let's move on, let's move
38:42
Speaker 1: on that next game, like let's let's not read too
38:45
Speaker 1: much into it.
38:47
Speaker 2: I hope that's not the message.
38:50
Speaker 1: Oh, if that's the message, we're in the trouble as
38:54
Speaker 1: a program under rule. I don't believe that's what's happening yet.
38:59
Speaker 1: But we're gonna I guess we said it before this
39:02
Speaker 1: Minnesota game and all this Penn State rule noise, these
39:06
Speaker 1: last six games are gonna be it's gonna be a
39:10
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a roller coaster of everything.
39:13
Speaker 3: That Penn State noise can that's going away real quick.
39:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that that's kind of moving in here to
39:20
Speaker 1: the long term like future. Yeah, that that noise is
39:24
Speaker 1: going to go away for multiple reasons. Now do I
39:27
Speaker 1: think Rules out of that job completely? The noise away,
39:32
Speaker 1: The talk's gonna go away. Hell, he already signed a
39:36
Speaker 1: freaking contract already, like he could have. We don't know
39:40
Speaker 1: how it'd be funny if he we end up going
39:42
Speaker 1: like six and six or seven and five and that
39:44
Speaker 1: State I was already signed a contract and they announced it.
39:46
Speaker 2: That would be funny. But yes, that that you're right,
39:51
Speaker 2: that that's gone on people.
39:56
Speaker 1: That guy think you asked me. I think it was
39:59
Speaker 1: you to me if I'd be happy or sad or
40:01
Speaker 1: like of Rule leaving to Penn State. I've been this
40:07
Speaker 1: way the whole time. I'm indifferent on it, and I
40:10
Speaker 1: still am, Like I've never thought.
40:12
Speaker 2: Rules an elite lya coach.
40:13
Speaker 1: He's probably an above average program build or he's shown
40:17
Speaker 1: that be able to do that. I don't know that
40:19
Speaker 1: he's an elite ly coach. I think he's good for
40:21
Speaker 1: we're out of the program right now, like yeah, but
40:24
Speaker 1: if things this season fall off, then I disagree because
40:26
Speaker 1: now he's not building a program anymore and that's supposed
40:28
Speaker 1: to be a strength.
40:29
Speaker 2: So like, I'm I'm in different. I what I hope
40:32
Speaker 2: it does this season.
40:33
Speaker 1: I hope we can build off of a loss like
40:35
Speaker 1: this and learn from it and get tougher and physically
40:39
Speaker 1: tougher and start to say, Okay, we need a freaking
40:41
Speaker 1: offensive line and look at that from a step back.
40:44
Speaker 2: I hope that's where we're going. But yeah, I'm if.
40:48
Speaker 1: He wants to go, great, go. Some people are now like,
40:52
Speaker 1: get to get him the hell out of here, go
40:53
Speaker 1: to Penn State. Like I'm not there.
40:56
Speaker 3: I'm also not.
40:58
Speaker 2: I'm also not like we need to keep it if
41:00
Speaker 2: he goes depends.
41:03
Speaker 3: Last week we talked about the Penn State like, well,
41:05
Speaker 3: who's Penn State hiring. That's why Matt rule is so
41:07
Speaker 3: high on the list, because there aren't a lot of
41:09
Speaker 3: good coaches out there you'll feel great about hiring. So
41:12
Speaker 3: Matt Rowley is all said, and we're in the same position. Yeah,
41:16
Speaker 3: well who we hired, you know, So I don't really
41:19
Speaker 3: want him to leave just one because I yes, that
41:22
Speaker 3: was a bad loss, but we're still five and two.
41:24
Speaker 3: There's still you know, five games left of the year.
41:26
Speaker 3: The year could still end, you know, nine wins, and
41:29
Speaker 3: you'd feel pretty freaking good about a night when season And.
41:32
Speaker 1: If we did that, all of these code red things
41:35
Speaker 1: that I talked about for the game, if we end
41:38
Speaker 1: up going nine and three, that means Rule did a
41:40
Speaker 1: great job of addressing those and building on the toughness piece,
41:47
Speaker 1: the physicality piece, and and like that. If we went
41:50
Speaker 1: nine and three, that's what that would mean, right for
41:52
Speaker 1: the most part, and you would feel good that Nope,
41:55
Speaker 1: Rule has a locker room.
41:58
Speaker 2: He believes in the right stuff.
42:00
Speaker 1: We got exposed against Minnesota, but he believes and knows
42:03
Speaker 1: he corrected it.
42:04
Speaker 2: Like that's what that would do.
42:05
Speaker 1: My fear, and I think a lot of people's fear
42:07
Speaker 1: and frustration is that we're not that in that the
42:11
Speaker 1: season is not going to end at nine wins. Maybe
42:14
Speaker 1: we get to eight, but we end at six and
42:16
Speaker 1: six or seven and five, then we're having a completely
42:18
Speaker 1: different conversation on just big picture, long term what's right
42:25
Speaker 1: with the rule. That's why this last five games are going.
42:28
Speaker 2: To be incredible, huge intriguing standpoint like who what kind
42:32
Speaker 2: of program are we?
42:33
Speaker 3: We all thought, Ques should say, we all thought, we
42:35
Speaker 3: all had our expect I believe we all put our
42:37
Speaker 3: percentages at eight and four.
42:38
Speaker 1: I remember that, correct, Yep, yep, right there, Yep, we're
42:44
Speaker 1: still on pace for eight and four.
42:46
Speaker 3: I do think that the teams at the end the
42:50
Speaker 3: schedule end up shaping out a little harder than we thought,
42:52
Speaker 3: and I think we were not as good as we thought.
42:53
Speaker 3: But because I mean U c l A. They're looking
42:57
Speaker 3: a little scary now, Northwestern, we just talked looking a
43:00
Speaker 3: little scary. So some of those games that we had
43:02
Speaker 3: has give me games in our are eating four prediction
43:05
Speaker 3: definitely not there, You're right. I mean, if we don't
43:09
Speaker 3: respond next week, if we just come out and just
43:11
Speaker 3: lay another egg, you know, is it is it a
43:14
Speaker 3: Penn State issue where all of a sudden it's like
43:16
Speaker 3: you lost the locker room. Your message, this is supposed
43:19
Speaker 3: to be the ear your message is getting the land,
43:22
Speaker 3: and all of your players have been drinking your your
43:24
Speaker 3: rule aid for the last three years, it's like, oh
43:27
Speaker 3: this doesn't work that you start to get concerned, this is.
43:33
Speaker 4: This is around where we had a Jesus you.
43:42
Speaker 5: So, yeah, I need to put the stakes down.
43:45
Speaker 2: Yeah awesome. I think you're exactly right on that point.
43:49
Speaker 1: You're people that I talked to my in my close
43:52
Speaker 1: friend circle in the Husker Lab the old Bass podcast
43:56
Speaker 1: that we did outside of one person, like they're ready
43:59
Speaker 1: to give up and quit on the season and quit
44:02
Speaker 1: on Husker football and be done because of the way
44:04
Speaker 1: that game happened. I'm not there yet, because I still
44:07
Speaker 1: think there's a chance that we can respond and prove
44:10
Speaker 1: that what we just saw is not actually the product
44:15
Speaker 1: of the culture and the team repeatedly.
44:18
Speaker 2: It happened one time and workspos Okay.
44:22
Speaker 3: I think their brains.
44:24
Speaker 1: Their brains are now like, oh shit, this is gonna
44:27
Speaker 1: happen the rest of the year too. And I'm a
44:28
Speaker 1: little bit like that too, like I'm hesitant to think, Okay,
44:31
Speaker 1: if this actually is what happened, Shit, we're not beating
44:34
Speaker 1: we're not winning in these games. We maybe will beat
44:38
Speaker 1: Northwestern and UCLA, but like we're gonna end Their their
44:41
Speaker 1: thought is we are gonna go seven and five. Now
44:43
Speaker 1: we are gonna go six and six because we're not tough.
44:46
Speaker 1: We suck on the offensive line. Now, good coaches in
44:50
Speaker 1: the program. If we find a way to hide those
44:52
Speaker 1: things and strategize around it, we can still build on it.
44:57
Speaker 1: But I don't people like that that are giving up
44:59
Speaker 1: just think we can't. It's it's done, and I'm leaning
45:03
Speaker 1: that way. I'm not there, but but but I think
45:07
Speaker 1: it could happen. I really do. Based on what we
45:10
Speaker 1: just saw. It's going We're gonna see how we respond
45:13
Speaker 1: and what this locker room believes internally about this this
45:19
Speaker 1: team and and Rules as a head coach, and and
45:22
Speaker 1: Dana as a o C and John Butler as a DC, Like,
45:25
Speaker 1: we're gonna see what this team is built of after
45:28
Speaker 1: this loss, like it it's it's gonna be fascinating to
45:31
Speaker 1: find out.
45:32
Speaker 3: I do think people are undervaluating losing Ronco and Pritchet
45:36
Speaker 3: within the first.
45:37
Speaker 1: Like maybe Rockoll Pretchett. Yeah he's our best option, don't
45:43
Speaker 1: get me wrong.
45:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's our best option. In addition to losing another.
45:48
Speaker 1: And some of that happens. I we haven't talked about this.
45:50
Speaker 1: This is also another glaring thing that maybe it'll become
45:55
Speaker 1: a topic of conversation. I don't know, but it's it's true.
45:58
Speaker 1: It's the elephant in the room. Is Ryola Donovan a
46:02
Speaker 1: good offensive line coach?
46:07
Speaker 2: I don't know.
46:07
Speaker 1: We've had our moments with them where we said that,
46:10
Speaker 1: but it's not We're not going to talk about firing
46:12
Speaker 1: in because if you put that in that bucket, you're
46:13
Speaker 1: talking about Dylan and and.
46:16
Speaker 2: Now you're saying we don't want Dylan Royola.
46:18
Speaker 1: So you it's it's an elephant in the room where
46:21
Speaker 1: it's probably not gonna get talked about, and if it
46:22
Speaker 1: does get brought up with the media, it's gonna get
46:24
Speaker 1: shut down right away because you don't want to touch
46:26
Speaker 1: the Dylan bucket as a coaching staff. And this goes
46:29
Speaker 1: all the way back to Okay, big picture this season,
46:32
Speaker 1: but big picture culture, right and where we move forward from.
46:35
Speaker 2: Here after the season. How do you handle that? How
46:40
Speaker 2: do you address that? That's that's what rules paid the
46:42
Speaker 2: big bucks for. Okay, and you're.
46:43
Speaker 1: Gonna make a stance and you're gonna decide on what
46:46
Speaker 1: you want to do and how you want to move forward.
46:48
Speaker 2: And I don't again, I don't know.
46:51
Speaker 1: Exactly how great a good of a coach Royola is
46:54
Speaker 1: as an O line coach.
46:55
Speaker 2: But you're going to ride the ship one way or
46:57
Speaker 2: the other.
46:57
Speaker 1: And it's actually funny, it's ironic that the part that
47:00
Speaker 1: Dylan's gonna be is probably the most frustrated with is
47:03
Speaker 1: our offensive line and that's his uncle's position.
47:06
Speaker 2: And how do you handle that?
47:07
Speaker 1: Like That's that's what's also fascinating with it as as
47:11
Speaker 1: a program.
47:13
Speaker 2: I don't know.
47:14
Speaker 1: I don't know obviously to my point earlier that we
47:19
Speaker 1: didn't all kind of agree on, but it it's that's
47:23
Speaker 1: a subject that you have to consider if you're Dylan,
47:26
Speaker 1: like even staying here, like what do you how do
47:29
Speaker 1: you do?
47:30
Speaker 5: What do you do?
47:36
Speaker 3: I am not out on this yet.
47:39
Speaker 2: They said, no, I'm not giving up and we will,
47:42
Speaker 2: we will.
47:45
Speaker 1: I love you, Jackson, Jackson, I love you, but you
47:48
Speaker 1: you will not quit following Huster football.
47:50
Speaker 2: You won't be able to do it.
47:51
Speaker 1: So say what you want, say what you want about
47:54
Speaker 1: I'm done. And he called them the Lincoln Salt Dogs.
47:56
Speaker 1: They're just a team up there.
47:58
Speaker 2: You won't be able to do it. Good luck. I
47:59
Speaker 2: wish you the best.
48:00
Speaker 1: I tried doing it when Case State was good. It
48:02
Speaker 1: doesn't work, but good luck.
48:07
Speaker 3: I said. We were down. We were down by one
48:09
Speaker 3: point end of the first half. Even when we're still
48:10
Speaker 3: getting around as kicked. We had a really bad half.
48:13
Speaker 3: It was really bad. You know that'll happen. I still
48:18
Speaker 3: think I am still optimistic that we can have a
48:21
Speaker 3: decent year. I I we have to go one win
48:25
Speaker 3: over the last five wins to go win eight wins,
48:27
Speaker 3: and that's what we expected.
48:28
Speaker 5: Us to do.
48:28
Speaker 2: Can't have a decent year. I'm not optimistic about it.
48:31
Speaker 2: I'll say that.
48:32
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you're rarely optimist.
48:35
Speaker 2: I've been good this year.
48:36
Speaker 5: You were, you were the beginning of the year.
48:38
Speaker 3: Is it because Dane Key is non existent? That's your issue?
48:42
Speaker 2: Maybe? Might that might be part of it.
48:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, all these things that I was kind of talking
48:47
Speaker 1: about of being overshadowed, it overshadowed me too. Like I
48:51
Speaker 1: got a little bit away from the offensive line toughness
48:53
Speaker 1: piece too. I thought I thought the shiny new I
48:56
Speaker 1: think the shiny new fake boobs and and makeup kind of.
48:59
Speaker 2: Got me a little.
49:00
Speaker 1: But I was doing a little I was staring a
49:01
Speaker 1: little too much. Yeah, Like now I'm like, like, I.
49:08
Speaker 4: I think I was there it's it's this week right
49:11
Speaker 4: aside if it's still gonna good season, and I if
49:13
Speaker 4: they started last of guns on just to completely out
49:15
Speaker 4: fiscals Nebraska, I'm I'm out like it's it's gonna be
49:17
Speaker 4: a ship show.
49:18
Speaker 3: A season now. I will say Vegas is not giving
49:21
Speaker 3: up on Nebraska.
49:23
Speaker 4: Let's spread on it already eight and a half. Yeah, good,
49:28
Speaker 4: good God. So right around where you don't want Nebraska,
49:31
Speaker 4: that's been about the last two or three games.
49:34
Speaker 3: You're not wrong. Oh I'm not taking Nebraska at those
49:37
Speaker 3: but I'm just I'm pointing out as far as a
49:41
Speaker 3: you know, a nationwide perspective, they're not that the books
49:47
Speaker 3: did not perceive that as a crippling season ending loss.
49:51
Speaker 3: It's always is more than a touchdown favorite.
49:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see these last guys, these last it's gonna
49:56
Speaker 1: it's gonna be it's just gonna be fun to walk.
49:59
Speaker 1: I say, fund to watch entertaining to watch is to
50:01
Speaker 1: see where things take us. It's year three, we said
50:05
Speaker 1: a lot of coaches, Year three is a defining, proven
50:09
Speaker 1: year for any coach to see where they're heading with
50:12
Speaker 1: with a program. And that's where we're at, and that's
50:17
Speaker 1: where things are. And yeah, this loss was really really bad.
50:22
Speaker 1: Like I said the beginning, one of in my mind,
50:24
Speaker 1: one of the worst losses we've had in a long time.
50:27
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean that the whole season and the whole thing
50:30
Speaker 1: is done. It's puts a lot of doubt in your mind,
50:34
Speaker 1: and it puts it it makes it go. I don't know,
50:38
Speaker 1: but there's still games left and we're going to see
50:41
Speaker 1: what this how this team responds to it. It's kind
50:43
Speaker 1: of I mean, Michigan, we got set back, but it's
50:45
Speaker 1: kind of our real first like kicking the nuts, where
50:48
Speaker 1: we go, oh boy.
50:50
Speaker 5: Well, here's here's one good thing. Are good or bad?
50:53
Speaker 5: I don't know where you put it.
50:55
Speaker 4: Nebraska already knows what position group they have to work
50:57
Speaker 4: on the most during the offseason. It's it's offensive line.
51:01
Speaker 4: Like this whole off season already.
51:04
Speaker 5: Going into it. I don't know what kind of checks
51:06
Speaker 5: you need, right whatever, Dac.
51:08
Speaker 2: I hope, I hope you're right. I hope that's the focus.
51:11
Speaker 1: But I'm scared that that's that's that's the worry, right,
51:15
Speaker 1: that's the that's the negative, pessimistic part of me. But
51:19
Speaker 1: a lot of people is that we're not going to
51:21
Speaker 1: focus on that because we don't believe in that, and
51:23
Speaker 1: if we did believe in that, we wouldn't have.
51:25
Speaker 2: Got to where we're at.
51:26
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, but the focus wasn't on this. It's been
51:30
Speaker 1: on it's been on the skill players. It's been on
51:31
Speaker 1: all because we didn't think we had receivers and like,
51:35
Speaker 1: it wasn't on the offensive line. The defensive line we
51:38
Speaker 1: knew could have been a concern after losing Nash and Tie,
51:41
Speaker 1: like that was definitely out there. But if the focus,
51:44
Speaker 1: that's the worry is that it's not going to be
51:47
Speaker 1: you're right, it should be.
51:50
Speaker 2: Well, we'll see. Like again, that's a big.
51:53
Speaker 3: Part of the issue. Before we go to basketball basket.
51:57
Speaker 2: Oh we do, we do, gotta go to basketball.
52:00
Speaker 3: Good offensive lineman don'thit the portal. Thats just it's hard,
52:04
Speaker 3: it's yeah. But but but to Rule's.
52:07
Speaker 1: Point about being the cutting edge leader of everything in
52:11
Speaker 1: college football that we were back in the day and
52:13
Speaker 1: need to be, Like, let's be the cutting edge and
52:16
Speaker 1: an offensive lineman in the portal. Let's let's make headline
52:19
Speaker 1: news because we're going out and paying offensive lineman a
52:23
Speaker 1: ship ton of money the ones that are out there.
52:25
Speaker 1: Let let's be the headline of that, like, let's be
52:28
Speaker 1: cutting edge that that to me is what we should
52:30
Speaker 1: do and show that's what we believe in. That's the
52:32
Speaker 1: core that we need to start with and then build
52:35
Speaker 1: it out from there. And hopefully Dylan's pushing for that too. God,
52:38
Speaker 1: you hope so like you hope that he's He's the
52:41
Speaker 1: one in the locker room saying, you know what, offensive lineman,
52:44
Speaker 1: I love you guys, and he got to be touching
52:46
Speaker 1: with thinking you don't wan to piss that him up
52:47
Speaker 1: for the rest of the year or you'll have like
52:49
Speaker 1: a lock you'll have like the longest yard, like let him,
52:53
Speaker 1: let him go and tackle you right, Like.
52:56
Speaker 2: It's yeah, I like, you hope that's what it goes.
52:59
Speaker 1: So okay, basketball, I haven't done our preview pod yet, no,
53:06
Speaker 1: but boy is it gonna be.
53:09
Speaker 3: You know, are those final four tickets being bought yet?
53:11
Speaker 1: Boys?
53:12
Speaker 3: Or we do? We do?
53:14
Speaker 2: We gotta have we might have a separate preview pod.
53:18
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah. Because I was always going to overshadow
53:21
Speaker 2: with all of this stuff.
53:26
Speaker 4: We we decided to go last second in this game
53:28
Speaker 4: because because the night before we were thinking, oh crap,
53:31
Speaker 4: we we forgot by you guys, never want recrutination. Everything
53:34
Speaker 4: we did not expect going in that game. That's what
53:36
Speaker 4: it'd be like.
53:37
Speaker 1: No, I wanted to watch this guy because I did
53:39
Speaker 1: him like this. I want to watch a future NBA
53:41
Speaker 1: player because Debon. So, I mean, he's looked like a
53:44
Speaker 1: future he will. He looked freaking good.
53:47
Speaker 2: He will be if I if things go, he will
53:51
Speaker 2: be at for one year and gone.
53:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's probably gonna be number one overall pick maybe
53:56
Speaker 3: not probably, but top five.
53:58
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's he's.
53:59
Speaker 1: The nine six ten with a seven foot wingspan. He's
54:02
Speaker 1: built like a Yannis like.
54:05
Speaker 3: He moves really well.
54:08
Speaker 1: You know what, this guy can't shoot the ball. He
54:10
Speaker 1: just drives it and then all of a sudden, bang bang.
54:12
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh shit, he can shoot them too.
54:17
Speaker 3: So yeah, it's just an exhibition game. So but that means,
54:22
Speaker 3: you know, there's you're still tweaking lineups and you're testing rotations.
54:26
Speaker 3: So it's fair to say that this isn't the best
54:28
Speaker 3: of by U. But also in theory, isn't the best
54:31
Speaker 3: of Nebraska that they're seeing.
54:35
Speaker 2: We're still zero and zero.
54:37
Speaker 3: We're still zero and zero. But we if you did
54:39
Speaker 3: for those listening did not know, we won by one
54:41
Speaker 3: point over the number or the number eight YEP team
54:45
Speaker 3: in the country. I think this is just good for
54:49
Speaker 3: just the mentality of the team because it's like, we
54:52
Speaker 3: can be top ten. We know we can be top ten.
54:55
Speaker 1: It's huge, and a top ten but with a six
54:59
Speaker 1: seed in the tur tournament last year too, yes, without any.
55:04
Speaker 3: Like and.
55:07
Speaker 5: They played most their starters most of the game.
55:11
Speaker 3: It yeah, it's let me, I'm gonna pull up our
55:15
Speaker 3: sched Okay, yeah, we haven't done our pot.
55:17
Speaker 2: Yeah whatever, but we look at it. It's it's a.
55:21
Speaker 1: Reason that it's it's a confidence building thing for the program, and.
55:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, it makes you excited for the season for sure.
55:29
Speaker 1: I thought we'd be by twenty, like I just regardless
55:32
Speaker 1: of being an exhibition game and who you played.
55:34
Speaker 2: I thought both teams up until the last like.
55:36
Speaker 1: Two minutes of the game, uh, we played pretty much
55:41
Speaker 1: your your best players throughout and then BYU decided.
55:45
Speaker 2: To sub.
55:47
Speaker 5: Shout fifty nation right now that.
55:52
Speaker 2: Fifty one McGregor for b YU.
55:56
Speaker 1: Just to put it in perspective, if Bray couldn't tell
55:58
Speaker 1: if you watch or anything, it was is like a
56:01
Speaker 1: six to one white guy that was like warming up
56:03
Speaker 1: in the tunnel for like four minutes with like six
56:06
Speaker 1: minutes to go, and we're like, what is going on
56:08
Speaker 1: with this dude? He hasn't played, Like what who is
56:13
Speaker 1: this person? He gets subbed in. We're like, he's gonna
56:16
Speaker 1: hit a game winner winning shot on us, and they
56:18
Speaker 1: did kind of creep back.
56:19
Speaker 2: We missed the front of the one and one.
56:21
Speaker 1: They hit a shot, they got a chance to go
56:24
Speaker 1: to win it at the end of the game, down
56:26
Speaker 1: one with ten seconds left, and he ended up getting
56:28
Speaker 1: the loose ball after the miss with a.
56:30
Speaker 2: Pretty good look to win. Yeah, long by like three feet,
56:34
Speaker 2: but it was funny.
56:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, their best player didn't play the last two minutes,
56:39
Speaker 1: but they were down also five or six when they.
56:40
Speaker 2: Took all of them ounts. So, uh, it's just we shot.
56:44
Speaker 2: We shot it well, like this was that was supposed
56:46
Speaker 2: to be here. That as a time shot it over
56:48
Speaker 2: fifty conversations, sixteen or thirty four, I think is what
56:53
Speaker 2: we finished.
56:54
Speaker 3: We assisted twenty four on our thirty two shots, thirty
56:57
Speaker 3: made shots. I don't remember the exact numbers. So I
57:00
Speaker 3: mean the ball was moving well. JaMarcus Lawrence like, well, yeah,
57:05
Speaker 3: it looked good. As a distributor and our shooters actually
57:09
Speaker 3: and Ranked Mass, I mean I haven't. We haven't. Ye
57:14
Speaker 3: see that you feel like if you had him last year,
57:17
Speaker 3: it's like you feel it's oh man, we knew he
57:21
Speaker 3: was good and we talked about it a lot last
57:23
Speaker 3: year how he was the missing piece. But he comes
57:26
Speaker 3: out and he goes seven for seven for three. It's like, oh.
57:28
Speaker 4: Boy, that's not I might be going with a too
57:33
Speaker 4: crazy Rank Mass. I think he's going to be one
57:35
Speaker 4: of the best players in the Big ten this season. Like,
57:38
Speaker 4: I think he's that good right now now. I did
57:40
Speaker 4: not know he's in the seventh season, so he should
57:42
Speaker 4: be that good, I.
57:42
Speaker 3: Say, Ranked Mass as I say so, yeah I did.
57:46
Speaker 3: I did not know.
57:47
Speaker 5: I did not know he's our age.
57:48
Speaker 4: But he should be this good by now, Like he's
57:52
Speaker 4: basically should be his third year in the NBA.
57:53
Speaker 5: But the way he's getting.
57:58
Speaker 4: Be able to stretch the floor so much more than
58:01
Speaker 4: last year, Well, the middle of the lane was just
58:03
Speaker 4: clocked so much. He's gonna be able to stretch that
58:05
Speaker 4: out and move so people will have driving lanes more
58:07
Speaker 4: this year.
58:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Byu is surprised by that. But think
58:14
Speaker 1: about what Rank probably has done this is injury, Like.
58:17
Speaker 2: All I can do is shot if I just have a.
58:19
Speaker 1: Bunch, And every every time he let it go, it
58:22
Speaker 1: was like case again, like nope, that's it.
58:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he didn't I mean, he did not shoot
58:28
Speaker 3: that well two years ago. It was like a you know,
58:32
Speaker 3: thirty three shooter.
58:35
Speaker 2: I don't know that the lover go seven for eight
58:36
Speaker 2: again in the game this year.
58:38
Speaker 5: But he just needs people to respect him shooting three.
58:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, we don't need him to go seven freight. If
58:44
Speaker 3: he goes free, that's freaking great.
58:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, really good win. That was It was fun.
58:50
Speaker 1: It was It was a fun exhibition game. I think
58:52
Speaker 1: we have one more exhibition game and then season starts.
58:55
Speaker 1: We'll do a preview pot here over the next week
58:57
Speaker 1: or so to get all of our thought.
59:00
Speaker 2: It helps to see the players a little bit onces.
59:02
Speaker 1: To which is another reason why I wanted to go,
59:04
Speaker 1: just to see who some of the new faces are.
59:07
Speaker 5: And they're gonna play a lot of players.
59:09
Speaker 1: We're gonna play a lot I do. I do Spaine
59:11
Speaker 1: Hoiberg has done that and it's good but bad.
59:15
Speaker 2: They have a lot of players play. It means you know,
59:17
Speaker 2: you have some depth.
59:18
Speaker 1: At the same time that means you probably don't have
59:19
Speaker 1: any like stud studs. That's good and bad there, so yeah, oh.
59:25
Speaker 3: Gosh, and we we start the yeah, we're going to
59:27
Speaker 3: talk preview pod. But our first nine games are all
59:31
Speaker 3: home games and the hardest game is number twenty three,
59:34
Speaker 3: creating Other than that, we played Oklahoma and New Mexico
59:37
Speaker 3: and then a bunch of oh yeah, technically in yeah,
59:43
Speaker 3: oh yeah, in case.
59:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, Oklahoma is up in sat Suit Falls,
59:46
Speaker 1: so they're not road games, but they're neutral.
59:48
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, you feel good rolling in into the season
59:54
Speaker 3: with that.
59:57
Speaker 2: All right, we'll be back there morning.
1:00:01
Speaker 3: You'll be gread TVR.
1:00:03
Speaker 5: It'll be great.
1:01:03
Speaker 3: Beca
