There's a HIDDEN TRUTH for BOTH Tennessee & South Carolina After CRAZY Game! | Vols | Gamecocks · SEC Football Addiction

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Cocktober boys, South Carolina beats Tennessee and a wild one
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: in Columbia. This is presented by prize picks. South Carolina
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: jumps out to a 14, nothing lead. I don't know
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: why I just said it like that, but 14, nothing
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: lead Tennessee storms all the way back. It seemed to
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: seemingly controlled the game through the second and third quarter.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: And then the fourth quarter belonged to South Carolina. Tennessee's
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: offense just could not find a rhythm. They were backed
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: up at times. Um, they had turnovers that, that hurt them. Um,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: and South Carolina found a way to get the dub. Um, interesting,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: incredible play by sellers on the, uh, on the touchdown on,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: on fourth down, I believe, um, to get it. And
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: then Tennessee just cannot, uh, can't come back. Um, didn't, uh,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: that was to, was that's a tie. And then sellers, uh, sellers,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: his touchdown was to tie.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: Then Tennessee turns the ball over McIntyre. Yeah.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: McIntyre was moving them on that last drive. And, um,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: the fumble came and, Dylan Stewart does Dylan Stewart type things,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: takes over a game, and South Carolina wins.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: They've now beat.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Two back-to-back ranked opponents. Shane Beamer's seat is as cold
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: as my diet Dr. Pepper, but I don't know if
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: it's quite that cold. But Cole, thoughts on this one?
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's Cocktober. Anything can happen in the
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: world of college football, specifically in Columbia, South Carolina, at
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Willie B on a Saturday afternoon. That's number one. Number two,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: I thought this game was going to go exactly how
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: it was supposed to go, which is South Carolina gets
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: a double-digit lead. and then proceeds to blow it after
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: getting a double-digit lead. Because it felt that way. I mean,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: let's be real for a second. They had quick screen,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: quick screen, quick screen, quick screen, then the end zone.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: All right, now they're back in the end zone. 14-0.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: And then here comes Tennessee's offense, and it's chugging along,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: and it's doing the chugging thing, and it's like, here
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: comes Deshaun Bishop, looking like Deshaun Bishop, and then here's Sellers,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: who does what Sellers does best, which is either home
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: run ball, dumb mistake. Oh, pick... Metcalf, here we go.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Right back to you. We'll make it 14-14. Brand new ballgame.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Really sloppy second quarter at times where, okay, here's momentum
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: in favor of South Carolina. It's 17-14. Then here comes
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Tennessee where they're able to go to get the explosives.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: They punch their way into the end zone. 21-17. Defense
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: is showing up in the third quarter. And then we
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: go to the fourth, which is where it was really exciting.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: And you have your opportunities if you're Tennessee. And Tennessee
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: finds their way into the end zone. Oh wait, no
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: they don't because there's a penalty that's called against them.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: And then Tennessee finds their way into the end zone
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: and there's another explosive deep downfield and it's like, oh
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: my god, this is where we wake on up. No wait,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: David Sanders holding call. Alright, here we go, now legal
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: man downfield. And it's just like, it's the shooting yourself
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: in the foot. And it's the little details like that
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: that carry such a weight. And South Carolina's defense did
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: enough to be able to force Tennessee to have the
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: turnover on downs. Then you had the play from Sellers.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: And thankfully, Sellers, again, doing the hero ball or making
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: a dumb mistake, did the hero ball of leaning backwards
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: because you saw the play. I mean, like if you
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: tell me on the initial contact that he finds way
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: to the end zone, I'm going to say, oh, he
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: fumbled it, got out of it, and jumped on the
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: ball in the end zone. That's the way. Nope, contorts
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: his body around, puts it right on the pylon, makes
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: it on in at the goal line. Game-saving situation. And
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: then you have the strip sack. by Dylan Stewart, and
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: it's now momentum going in favor of South Carolina. They
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: get a run. They get the kick. It's up. Here's
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: the problem, and I want to pose this to both
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: of you. Tennessee fans are calling this a BS game
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: because of officiating, and I would like to be the
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: first to say SEC officiating needs a legit wake-up call
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: reality check. They are taking too many penalties in this game,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: and they are absolutely trying to dictate how the game goes.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: That's not the reason South Carolina won this football game.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: They did not win this football game because of that.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: Can we back up? Because I did see in the
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: comments quite a bit today. What are the major gripes?
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: What were the play?
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: It was that all the touchdowns called back. They got
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: in the end zone six times and only three of
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: them counted. I thought maybe one call was questionable. And
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I think I'm a little bit of a Tennessee homer
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: because of the fans. And I was wanting Tennessee to
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: win this game.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: I picked them. I bet on them. But I thought
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: two of the calls were fine. I'll give you one.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: The David Sanders holding call, guys, I'm sorry.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: It was a hold.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: It's clear that you're watching him drag him down. It's
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: a hold. It is. I'm sorry. How about this? You
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: want to talk about a play like that, which is fair.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: I completely understand that you can go with the holding calls.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: What about the fourth and one?
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Quick break from the video. Want to let you know
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: this video is brought to you by PrizePix. They Just

  Speaker 2: You have an opportunity to go ahead and get the
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: momentum and keep the drive alive and you get your
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: way to the end zone and you get too cute.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Way too cute.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: And it's like, guys, it's the bonehead mistakes. Tennessee in
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: this game, fair or unfair? finished the night with 12
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: penalties for 90 yards. And you had it still on
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: fourth and one. And you try to get too cute. Now,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: I want to give credit where credit's due. Willie B
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: is a house of horrors. It's a nightmare scenario for
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: any young quarterback to go into. And Clayton White, the
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: defense coordinator for South Carolina, kind of took a page
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: out of Jim Knowles' book of watching Keelan Russell last
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: week and said, hey, we're going to pressure this quarterback
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: into doing something really stupid at the most ill-advised time possible.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: And who knows if it's because of that atmosphere, that's
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: what went with the handoff, because it felt like it
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: was trickery from the jump. Was it supposed to go
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: the tight end? Was it not supposed to go that?
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: And so it was like just dead from the get-go,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: which is the big difference here. But how many times
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: you can look at the explosive plays, and this has
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: been a problem for Tennessee all year. They are a
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: penalized team offensively, where they should be able to get
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: the crushing blow, but because of a self-inflicted wound, whether
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: it be an illegal man downfield, a shift, a motion
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: that was called, a false start, a block, a holding call,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: it's negated of a big explosive play. And like, once again,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: it shows on up in South Carolina and South Carolina's
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: offense does just for the fourth quarter to be able
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: to get a three point win, which also was a
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: really bad bet because it was a two and a
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: half point line.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was, I mean, it was tough, man.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Tennessee, I thought had it, you know, their defense ran
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: into Eleanor sellers, which is tough. And he did go
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Superman at times in this thing, evidenced by the very
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: last touchdown. Um, you had leaned on that defense a lot.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: You had leaned on that defense a ton and they
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: had come through way more often than they shouldn't. But man,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: I know it's a red shirt freshman back there. I
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: know South Carolina was, I know, man, I know I
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: get it, but you, you got to count on your
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: offense to do something. You know, they, they, they took
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: the first quarter off. They took the fourth quarter off.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Can't do that. Can't do that on the road against
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: the talented team with Lenore sellers and Dylan Stewart on it.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: And South Carolina had already shown you that they could
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: go on the road and beat a top 10, Florida
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: or a top 25 Florida team. And they had enough
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: talent to slow down a run game and, and play
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: complimentary football. And they also like, I'm not giving South
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Carolina credit for the loss, but they also like, you know,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: they did blow some leads, but they also jumped out
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: to big leads against Kentucky.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: And like they, and Mississippi state back when Mississippi state
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: was hot, like.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: They proved that they're a competent team and they just
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: basically stopped these last two games did not, did not
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: blow leads, you know? So I do think that you,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, you just played with fire. You needed to
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: continue to go on offense and, the mistakes. I hated
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: the fourth down call.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: The fumble.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: McIntyre, just not great awareness there. The touchdowns, you've got
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: to stop committing penalties when you score touchdowns. They took
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: a lot of points off the board.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: Tom?
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: It's unfortunate because the victory against Alabama was such a
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: tone setter, I think, beyond just the fan base, the program.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: It really felt like a mile marker victory for Josh Heupel.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: And there have been conversations last year, it's like, hey,
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: they didn't beat a team that had a winning record.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: And coming into this season, it was like, hey, is
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: Josh Heupel on the hot seat? And I felt really
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: good about Tennessee coming out of this. I had them
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: ranked in the top five of my college football addiction
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: top 25 poll. And now I'm sitting here like, okay,
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: is this just more evidence to the fact that not
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: just the SEC, but college football as a whole, it's
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: anybody can get anybody on any given week. And I
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: tend to lean towards that more so than anything. I
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: think it was pretty clear once they moved away from
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: Faison Brandon after the Texas game that Tennessee was going
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: to say, hey, we're going to play the safest we
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: can possibly play at the quarterback position. And even if
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: I look at this team and say, man, if I
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: picked Trinidad Chambliss off the tree and I put him
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: in Knoxville, Tennessee, would that fix it? There still isn't
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: enough to this offense beyond Deshaun Bishop to get things
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: done to the point where it's like, hey, they're going
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: to score enough points. to compete with somebody to really
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: put away an opponent like this that they should be
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: better than.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: And defensively, this was a letdown.
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: Based on what Jim Knowles and company put together against
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: Alabama the week prior. So hats off to South Carolina
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: because this guy counted him out for dead when guys
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: like Dylan Stewart were counting out Shane Beamer and basically
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: disrespecting him and just saying like, hey, we're not really
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: listening to you. I've been counting down the days when
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: he's going to get fired, but I think he saved
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: his job at this point, which is astonishing to think.
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: There's still a lot of season left to be played.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: If you're a Tennessee Volunteers fan, you're still looking at
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: this saying, hey, we have two losses, but you've got
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: Kentucky at Texas A & M, home against LSU, and
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: at Vanderbilt remaining on the schedule. Kentucky and LSU are
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: the games I'm looking at where I'm like, coin flips.
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: And even the Texas A & M game, I think,
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: is something you could say is a coin flip. And
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: if you don't keep things organized against Vanderbilt, Vandy could
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: jump up and get you. So Tennessee's got to finish
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: strong if they want any hope of making the college
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: football playoff and the chances of.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: Them finishing the year undefeated the rest of the way.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: I don't like those odds.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: I don't like it, but it's not impossible.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: It's not impossible. I just don't like the odds.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Well, and let's be fair too. We're, we're probably somewhat
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: moving the goalposts for Tennessee. We're probably, you know, day.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: I don't think we consider them a college football playoff
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: team to start the year.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: No.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: And so when they got in position to maybe qualify,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: with still a lot of tough games left, a road
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: trip to Willie B, a game against LSU, a tougher-than-we-expected
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: game against Kentucky, it is certainly a little bit tougher.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: But we didn't have them as a playoff team anyway.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: And so I think if Tennessee goes 9-3, none of
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: their fans want to hear that right now because you
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: did kind of think for a moment, kind of like
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: the Florida fans at 4-0. You did kind of think
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: for a moment, like, hey, we could make the playoff.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: 9-3 is still a really good year.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: For Tennessee this year.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: All things considered, I know that we're not here for
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: moral victories, and you're not here, but I said from
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: the beginning of the year that Tennessee's year to make
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: a run was going to be next year.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: The defense has played better than you thought.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: You've gotten better quarterback play, I think, overall than maybe
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: you even expected because you knew what you were working with.
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: I don't know, man. I don't think Tennessee fans should
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: view 9-3 as a failure.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: If they split with Kentucky and LSU and went out, then.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: That's fine.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, again, if you're 9-3, let's just say there's... Okay,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: humor me. Let's say that there is a conundrum of
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: 9-3 teams in the SEC. And all these teams are
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: fighting for spots in the college football playoff because the
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: SEC is going to get several teams in because that's
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: just the way it is. Well, you have the head-to-head
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: over Alabama. Okay, well, you would have to be in
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: over Alabama, I think, in the committee's eyes. And you're
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: bringing up Brand to be able to get in over Alabama. Okay,
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: well what about a team like LSU? Do you beat LSU? Cool,
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: they're 9-3, you're 9-3, you probably are in over them.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: So you're not dead at 9-3, but also let's just
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: be completely fair. This was a team that looking at
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: the start of the year, you had a green dot quarterback,
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: no idea what you were going to get in him.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: A new defensive coordinator with a bunch of new pieces
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: that we're all trying to gel together. Your star safety
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: Jaleel Farouk gets hurt at the start of the season
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: and is out before game number one. And you still
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: find a way to get a massive win against Alabama
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: in third Saturday. You still finish as a top 15 team.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: We view you as a viable playoff threat even after
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: losing to South Carolina. And you probably get another signature
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: win against a top-ranked opponent, whether that be LSU or Kentucky.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: It's not a bad year. It's just that we're not
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: going to the playoff and winning a national title for
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: the first time since 1998 year. That's all it is.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: That's all it is. And I'm in full agreement with TJ.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: You got some young talent that's still in the building.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: You got some veteran talent that will be coming on
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: back next year. You're going to have a much more
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: stable veteran quarterback, whoever is your guy long term. You're
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: going to be able to spend money in the portal
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: because you always spend money in the portal. It'll be
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: another year with Jim Knowles as your defense coordinator. A
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: lot of things that you want to see moving forward
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: are really promising in Knoxville. But this was a game
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: that everyone that circled said it is possible that you
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: find a way to let it up here. And you did.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: And I understand. Officiating is bad. I want to preface
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: this before we go any further. I know officiating sucks
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: in the SEC. It has been downright disgusting this year.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: I'm not blaming that on the reason why you lost.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: I'm not.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: There's too many other plays that I can look at
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: and point and say, that was a big problem, that
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: was a big problem, that was a big problem, and
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: you shot yourself in the foot. That's just it, guys.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: You had a chance to have kind of a remarkable
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: season out of nowhere. That probably would have included going
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: to the playoff, winning one game.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: And it's still there.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: It's still there. They can still do it, right? But
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: what does Tennessee going to the playoff mean?
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Probably a first-round exit. And depending on the matchup, maybe.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Your defense keeps it a low-scoring affair. Deshaun Bishop, you
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: can trust the run game. You win that one and
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: then lose in the next round.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: At best, you're going on the road and beating somebody.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: from the big 12, you know, best case, but like,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Do you really want to go on
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: the road and play big 12 version of Tennessee and BYU?
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, that'd be a fun guy. I mean, that'd
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: be a hell of a game. I can't say that
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: with BYU. That's an honor code violation, but that'd be
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: a heck of a game. But yeah, like, I mean,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know, man. Like, I don't think you're, nothing's
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: going to be too different. Now it's fun to go
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: to the playoff and I don't think they'd get embarrassed
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: the way they did against Ohio state, but they certainly could.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: If they ran into Miami in the second round, wouldn't
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: be fun. Um, South Carolina, how are, obviously they've already
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: got the three L's right. So they're not, or no,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: they're five and two, right?
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: No, they have three L's. Yeah. Lonely to Mississippi state, lonely.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: To Kentucky blow out against Alabama.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: So there's seasons. I, I hate that.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: We have this mindset of is just like, Oh, you're
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: gonna be able to play up, but they've expanded it.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: And so that's what we have.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: But, um, can they play, can they continue to play spoiler?
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: Have they figured it out?
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Cole? Yeah, I think so. You know, what's funny is,
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: and I'm a sex and buddy of mine. That's big, big, big, big,
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: big South Carolina fan. And he made it pretty evident.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: And I looked back and I'm like, you're not wrong.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: South Carolina by like the middle of October, every even
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: year just starts clicking. Something just starts going off defensively.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: They start playing sound, uh, offensively they get into a groove,
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: they start figuring out what is the identity of their team,
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: and they end up rattling off a couple of really
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: monumental wins that gets them ranked and gets them in
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: the conversation about being the spoiler or, hey, if we
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: were to have a 9-3 team in, like 2024, they
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: have the game against LSU, they blow the lead, but
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: then you have the pick six by Nicky Minwari called back,
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: and that's ultimately the reason why they didn't make the playoff.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: And same thing for the Alabama game where they come back,
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: but they don't get into the end zone late. They
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: beat Texas A & M and they beat Missouri and
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: they're 9-3 at the end of the year. And it's
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: like they did enough to warrant conversation. It's just too
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: little too late. But you look at what they have
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: still on the horizon. Texas A & M loses when
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: they go to Columbia. Or at least they have in
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: the last several years. The bottom trophy when it's played
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: in Columbia, South Carolina at Willie B goes to South Carolina.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: So you chalk that up potentially as a win. You
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: talk about potentially Oklahoma this week. Oklahoma really doesn't have
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: a college football playoff berth to play for, but 9-3
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: does a hell of a job of saving what is
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: most of this coaching staff. So winning that game would
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: be really important. But then you have Arkansas. You should
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: win that one, even though it's on the road. Clemson
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: right now. There's rumors that potentially you're getting rid of what's-his-name.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: Why am I blanking on the office coordinator? Chad Morris. Yeah,
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Chad Morris, because apparently Dabo called plays in the second half.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: I trust you to win that one. And so really,
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: it comes down to the Georgia game. And if you
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: go 9-3 this year, what a response from a team
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: that we all wrote off as dead. Like, I saw
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: earlier a video, I mean a tweet. I'm trying to
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: remember who posted it. I think it was Brad Crawford.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: But it was like Shane Beamer when his job is
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: on the line. And it's Nick Saban. And it's like, yeah,
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: kind of. Kind of. You play sound. You win. You
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: find a way to get a new contract extension. You
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: know who it's more so like for me? Marvin Lewis.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Like Marvin Lewis would be like on a losing skin.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: It's like, all right, guys. He's going to be fired
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: in Cincinnati. Wait a minute. How about we go to
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: the playoffs? We don't win the game, but we go
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: to the playoffs. Cool. Contract extension. That's like Shane Beamer. Like,
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: I think he's the right guy for the job, and
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you can get better than him there.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: And he does a good job. It's just the thing
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: that really hurts them is Shane Beamer and this ineptitude
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: early on in the season before they find a rhythm. Like,
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: that's what it comes down to.
