  Speaker 3: Good morning. How we doing? Well, honestly, you want me
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: to be honest with you?
• 1:39
  Speaker 7: I didn't ask you to lie to me.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: Well, sometimes people lie a little bit, little white lies,
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: just to kind of get past to the next subject.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: I'm feeling great.
• 1:47
  Speaker 7: Blessed and highly favored.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: Usually Wednesdays are not my day because, you know, got that,
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: doesn't have that Tuesday feeling. Right. But today, ninja get up.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: That doesn't happen on a Wednesday very often, so I'm
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: feeling good. Got good energy levels.
• 2:02
  Speaker 7: Did something happen for the ninja get up?
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: No, I don't know what happened.
• 2:08
  Speaker 7: Something Tuesday.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: I think it's just like, sometimes you get that perfect
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: wake up. Like I woke up an hour before the
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: alarm went off and like, I woke up and I
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: wasn't feeling great. I was like, Oh God, it's probably
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: time to probably time to go. Probably time to get up,
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: put my feet on the floor and get to the grind. Yeah.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: But then I looked at my clock and it's beautiful.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: It said four 45 and I was like, Whoa, I
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: got another hour of this. Heck yeah. Good for you.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: And then I got another hour. Then I woke up,
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Ninja flipped out, and got dressed, came here. Good for you.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: Had me a little sandwich. Got a coffee. Wow, they
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: only had one sandwich. Been making crazy slides and graphics
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: over here. That's weird, right?
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: Weird they only had one. Matt got the last one.
• 2:52
  Speaker 7: They only had one sandwich at Starbucks.
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: Second, this dude's been sending us slides since Monday night.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: Sunday. So many slides.
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: What do y'all think of this slide?
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: Like, as long as the information's right, it's good.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: I'm like, is the info correct?
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: That's basically why I'm sending it to you. I need
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: a proof.
• 3:10
  Speaker 6: I was changing the panels, and he had this big
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: Kentucky graphic. I was like, oh, Matt, you made another one?
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: He's like, you have no idea how many of these
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: I have.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: I think you're going to screw it up. I got
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: so many graphics. Not a big deal. Graphic designer. Nobody's
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: called you that. Not one person. Can I be honest
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: with y'all? Again, yes.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: You don't have to. Second time. Second time in four minutes.
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: Please.
• 3:36
  Speaker 7: Please just tell us the truth.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Look, I've been in the depths with George Paul Thomas recently.
• 3:44
  Speaker 7: Uh-huh.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: Been in the lab. I know.
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: Y'all been beefing.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Me and him. We ain't been beefing. A little bit. Well,
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: we beef a little bit, okay? Because he lies to me.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Sometimes he lies to me. Sometimes he tells me he's
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: doing one thing and then completely lies.
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: Typical man.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: But, like, look, we have conversations. We just sit down
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: and talk.
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: And I'm afraid, and I think a lot of people
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: know this, it terrifies me. I'm going to use the
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: technology because it's there. I can't tell by how much
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: you use it. I use the technology that's available, but
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: my God, they got to do something about this because
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: there's some graphic designers out there that make a living
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: getting paid per hour that probably aren't getting paid per
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: hour right now because you can just type it right
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: in there.
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: So it's one of those things where you're like, I'm
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: going to use it, but I'm not happy about it.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm going to use it. I don't feel strongly
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: enough that me individually is going to make a big
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: enough difference if I take a stand today. I don't
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: think that's going to happen.
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure you're like the most influential person of
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: our time. So if you were.
• 4:53
  Speaker 8: To look at the panels.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: That is my neck. The neck's double too. I don't
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: like that. I don't like next level. Anyway, I fear
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: for people and their jobs with AI.
• 5:10
  Speaker 7: But also you can tell when a graphic's been made
• 5:12
  Speaker 7: with AI.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: Okay, but does that make it bad? I don't think
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: it makes it good. It's like you're not handmade. Some,
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's like anything. Like anything that's not made
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: as well. It doesn't make it good, but does it
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: make it bad? Some of them are real bad. Some
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: of it's slop.
• 5:35
  Speaker 7: I mean, there's some that people push send on.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: I'm like... Some are bad. I just told it to
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: do a little bit better. You can definitely tell that
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: these ones are made. And I'm the hand up. I mean,
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: we've all done it.
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: The one you made last week, and I was like,
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: what if we didn't have.
• 5:52
  Speaker 7: Y'all on the.
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: Because y'all looked super.
• 5:56
  Speaker 7: AI on it.
• 5:56
  Speaker 8: When I sent it, I said, we look like aliens.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: This one looks like... I'll show it to you in
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: a little bit. I'm just telling Jake. This one looks
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: like it, but it doesn't have.
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: The cat scratch font.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Most of them have the scratch.
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I know what you're talking about.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: This one doesn't have that, but it still looks like it.
• 6:13
  Speaker 7: Usually when I do one, it's like put collegiate letters
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: on it.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: There's the black letters. I didn't do it with this one.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: It just looks a little classy. Collegiate letters. I think
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: we played collegiate this week. Oh, nice. Good thing.
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: It's so funny. I was thinking back on that the
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: other day, and you were like, guys, they've never heard
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: this word either. Let me sound it out for them.
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: I'm like, nah, dude, that's collegiate. Yeah, man, I went
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: into that word super confident. You didn't.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: You said, I don't know how to pronounce this. I
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: went into it mentally confident. I went into it like,
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: I'm going to nail this one. Watch this. Watch me cook.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: And I was like, wait a minute. I don't know
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: this word. And it nailed you, buddy. Got me.
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: Hey, it made for a good laugh.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: Hey, that's what I'm here for.
• 7:01
  Speaker 7: I mean, it's not quite Mario's so virginity.
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: But I really think that I could excuse that a
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: lot more than I can excuse collegiate.
• 7:09
  Speaker 7: That's probably fair, too.
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: Like, sovereignty is spelled a weird way.
• 7:12
  Speaker 7: And you don't use it every day.
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: You don't see it as much.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: Of that very often. I would have crushed that word.
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: Oh, actually, so there's this trend on TikTok where they
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: get people to read words. And I'm going to get
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: you to do it. We're going to make a TikTok later.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: I mean.
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: Actually, we're making two. One's a physical challenge. And then
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: the other one, I'm going to make you say words.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: You may or may not know how to pronounce. I
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: can read. That's one of my things I can do.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: One of my talents.
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: We're going to find out.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: One of my talents. You've got a microphone in front
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: of your face for 15 hours and you're deprived of
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: sleep and you're just going.
• 7:52
  Speaker 7: Sensitivity fine coming?
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Feels like it.
• 7:56
  Speaker 7: I say words wrong all the time.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: It's fine.
• 7:58
  Speaker 7: Do I say it as bad as collegiate? Maybe not.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: I mean, honestly, it's not a real word. Collegiate's not? Nope.
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: Weird coming from a collegiate athlete.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Former. I'm just a college athlete. Did anybody ever say collegiate?
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: No.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: No one uses that word unless you're in, like, England.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: They call it university in England. Ah, they do.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: So.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: Canada.
• 8:27
  Speaker 7: Don't care about Canada.
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: Canada.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Me neither.
• 8:29
  Speaker 8: That's why I don't care about that word. They lost
• 8:31
  Speaker 8: to the U.S. men's national team 1-0 last night.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: God, dude.
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: Is Canada going to win anything?
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: No. Why would they?
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: I mean, men's and women's hockey, that's supposed to be
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: their sport. We beat them in that. We beat them
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: in this.
• 8:42
  Speaker 7: That's sad.
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: Like, we beat you at your one thing that we're
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: not even, like, super invested in.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: That's like a fourth sport. I'm pretty sure we beat
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: the brakes off them in curling recently, too. There you go.
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: I mean, imagine a country so boring that they're like,
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: we got to bring in some people.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: What can we do?
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: Put one of those badass Leafs on the flag.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: That'll do it. Uh-huh. Heck yeah.
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: Terrible.
• 9:07
  Speaker 7: South Park blamed Canada?
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: Blamed Canada.
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: And then followed the only red. Yep.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: Anyway.
• 9:18
  Speaker 8: I didn't even get to ask Alondra and Teise how
• 9:20
  Speaker 8: they were doing. Because you kind of just took it
• 9:22
  Speaker 8: over there.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: Well, I needed to be honest. Multiple times.
• 9:29
  Speaker 7: Anyways, Taylor Alondra, how are we doing back there?
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: One thing about you, you're going to be honest.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: I'm going to be honest. Right here.
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: You're going to ask us first, but then you're going
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: to be honest.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: Hannah? Can I be honest with y'all?
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: Can I say something? You know, the whole point of
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: this show is to say something.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: It's also fair.
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: Great. I opened up our text line, and we had
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: some backtracking on the guy that called y'all boring.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: Oh, nice. He was like, say it with your chest out.
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: He was like, just talk sports and be more enthusiastic.
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: I'm 74. My dad, Al Harriman, played in the backfield
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: with Y.A.
• 10:04
  Speaker 8: Tittle.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: Oh, cool. All right. That's cool. It was just a bunch.
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: Of, like, no hard feelings.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: Oh, buddy.
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: Keep up the good work.
• 10:12
  Speaker 8: We are not going to.
• 10:14
  Speaker 7: The only issue I have with that is the lazy.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: Boring, boring. Sure.
• 10:19
  Speaker 7: A lot of us can, you know, sometimes we don't
• 10:21
  Speaker 7: have our fastball.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: Sometimes dumb. Yeah. A lot of times.
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: He didn't call you that.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: So that's on you. Well, that's just us. I'm giving
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: him some different, different things he could have said. If
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: you want to be accurate. If you want to be accurate.
• 10:33
  Speaker 7: You can call me dumb. I will say this.
• 10:35
  Speaker 8: You will never catch either one of us or any
• 10:38
  Speaker 8: of the four of us fake through a segment and
• 10:41
  Speaker 8: just yell and like have on the paper, yell here.
• 10:45
  Speaker 8: Like some people do. Not going to happen here. If
• 10:47
  Speaker 8: we do yell, it means we're pretty passionate about it.
• 10:50
  Speaker 8: But there's some people that it says basically during this point, yell.
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: Inflect.
• 10:56
  Speaker 7: Not going to catch it here. That is not going
• 10:59
  Speaker 7: to happen.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: But we appreciate you listening. We actually do. We very
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: much appreciate it. And we appreciate you caring enough to
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: send us a text. That's very much true as well.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: We appreciate that.
• 11:08
  Speaker 7: Shout out to Al.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: Shout out. That's pretty sweet. Wait. It said his father played.
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: His father played in the backfield with Y.A.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: Tittle. Oh, that's really cool. Very cool.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: Y.A. Tittle.
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: And we're in the 10th Cotton Bowl.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: As tough as a $ 2 steak. Marshall Maverick.
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: In 1947, better known as the Ice Bowl.
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: He played against Marshall. We did, too. They were in
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: our district until they dropped down to four. Probably finished
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: ahead of you. No, he was a good little quarterback, though.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: His last name was Christmas. Christmas? Mm-hmm. His name Lloyd.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: I don't remember what his first name was, actually. Which
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: is strange.
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: I mean, when your last name is Christmas, that's the
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: one that's going to stick with you anyways.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: It's on the marquee. That's true.
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: Like, that's not on you. Yeah, we're doing good, though.
• 12:02
  Speaker 7: Can I be honest with y'all?
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: Please.
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: Please be honest.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: You can't. We need to get a break. Oh. We do?
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: I'm on schedule.
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: I like this. Boom.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: We didn't hear from Taylor yet.
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: I said we're doing good.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: That was it, though. You didn't expand. Well, sometimes you
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: don't have. Yeah, sometimes it's good.
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: You guys have something to expand on, Tay-Tay?
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: Nope.
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: I didn't have anything to expand on today. That's why
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: I brought up the text.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all she said was good.
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: We're good.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: We're good, man.
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: I didn't have nothing for you.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: It ain't no big deal.
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: Sleep sacks are still awesome.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: That's what we got for you.

• 14:32
  Speaker 1: to you by Poncho.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: He's mine.
• 14:56
  Speaker 7: All right, welcome back in, OTB. Our Wednesday shows brought
• 15:12
  Speaker 7: to you by our friends over at Poncho.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: Shout out to Poncho.
• 15:14
  Speaker 8: PonchoOutdoors.com slash, backslash, as some would say, off the bench.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: That'd be you. Slash. Backslash.
• 15:28
  Speaker 8: All right, my man has put in the work. The
• 15:31
  Speaker 8: PowerPoints are made. He is ready to break down LSU
• 15:36
  Speaker 8: versus Kentucky coming up on Saturday in Lexington at Kroger Field.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: It's a very interesting matchup. It's a very fun matchup.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: At a place that LSU has not had much recent
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: success with, let's be honest, the last time we won there,
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: some would say we stole that one in the Bluegrass Miracle.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: This is a great. So I've been watching. So I've
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: watched really broke down two games there. So I've looked
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: at Kentucky versus South Carolina, Kentucky versus Texas A & M,
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: both road games. So both there was probably communication challenges
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: within their operation on offense, at least. But it's a
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: it's an interesting little bit of a change of pace
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: type of team. offensively. There's a lot of, when Kentucky
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: is on offense, there is a lot of eye candy
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: that they give you like nauseatingly. Like I'm punching the air,
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: kind of watching this stuff because there's so many shifts,
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: so many motions, but there is, there's a lot of
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: things that they do, Jake, that you, I believe would like, um,
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: 12 personnel.
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: They get into like actual goal line, uh, formations on offense.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: So it's, They put a fullback in there. I don't
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: know if he's actually a fullback or he's just a
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: tight end disguised as a fullback. I think they call
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: it 14 personnel, 13. Yeah, they do. They have a
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: 14 personnel, and that's pretty much their goal line package,
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: which in these two games they had some success with.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: A lot of misdirection, a lot of eye candy that
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: they give you. Defense is going to have to be
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: very disciplined in what they do, but it's things that
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: other offenses are doing. This isn't the first time. LSU
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: likes to do this on offense, so they've seen it
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: a lot in practice, different shifts, different motions. A lot
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: of times, and this was kind of like a complaint
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: in the past couple years of the offense, a lot
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: of times it's motioning and movements and shifts that aren't
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: really accomplishing a lot. Maybe they're accomplishing something to the coaches.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: Maybe they think they're going to get something. But a
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: lot of times it's like shifting and like the defensive,
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: like the linebacker looks out of the corner like, okay,
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: he just moved four feet. You know what I mean?
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: But it's fun to watch. But I like to start
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: with talking about, LSU and Kentucky by kind of giving
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: you an overview from like a team standpoint, like Kentucky
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: has won some games. Kenny Minchie, their quarterback has played
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: really played pretty, pretty darn well. He's he's a safe player.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: He is a safe quarterback. He's not athletically going to
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: crush you. I think he's got like 25 rush attempts
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: for like negative one yards. He can do it. There's
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: plays where he scrambles and can get up field and
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: can make some plays and But he doesn't want to.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: They got some good athletes at running back, two guys
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: that have done pretty well. They got a couple of
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: receivers that have made some plays. Two of their top
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: four guys in receptions and yards are tight ends, so
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: they love using a tight end. Yeah, and they've got
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: some good ones. Yeah, they do have some good ones. So,
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: like I said, two of their top four. And receptions
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: are tight ends. Who is it? Willie Rodriguez.
• 18:48
  Speaker 8: Willie was at Media Days, so they thought enough of
• 18:50
  Speaker 8: him to bring him to SEC Media Days.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: Really good player. Cool story. A lot of siblings. Grew
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: up as a wrestler as well. Wrestler? Wrestler. I'm not
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: saying wrestler. I don't miss you.
• 19:03
  Speaker 7: Is he the one?
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: They were talking on the broadcast. Wait, actually it might
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: have been NFL.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: Never mind.
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: I don't remember. I've consumed so much stuff this weekend.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: Wait a minute.
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: They're saying that he grew up. uh, wrestling and his
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: dad made him, uh, Russell high schoolers when he was
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: like in middle school or something like that. So that's
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: why he's so tough.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: Maybe it's him.
• 19:24
  Speaker 7: I think that was Sam. Like he, we had him
• 19:28
  Speaker 7: in the serious XM room.
• 19:29
  Speaker 8: And I just remember being like, all right, that guy's fault.
• 19:32
  Speaker 8: I guess fault for everything he's got. Cause he had
• 19:33
  Speaker 8: like a ton of siblings and they're like, yeah, we
• 19:35
  Speaker 8: all grew up wrestling. And he's a really good football
• 19:38
  Speaker 8: player though. That can do a lot of different things.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: Um, Yeah, he's good, and they use him. I mean,
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: they use him quite a bit. So I'm watching them,
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: and I'm like, all right, Kentucky, this is going to
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: be a different type of game. They are going to
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: be really good. They've had a lot of success. I
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: watch them, and I do see a lot of holes
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: in their team. I do see a lot of on
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: their defensive line, not very good. Linebackers can play a
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: little bit. The linebackers are their best pass rushers. They
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: don't blitz them a whole lot, but they're the only
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: ones that can kind of consistently put a little bit
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: of pressure on the quarterback. Texas A & M, they
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: were big-dogging these guys in the first half. Both teams,
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: Texas A & M and South Carolina, blew the game.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: They blew the game. Now, Kentucky went out and won it,
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: took advantage of mistakes, but they just blew the game. Right.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: South Carolina, I think, was up 17-0 at the end
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: of the first quarter. And they just– it blows my
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: mind how offensive coordinators sometimes just outthink themselves. Both teams
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: were just running the ball, gashing them, six, seven, eight
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: yards a run. And then all of a sudden they're like, yeah,
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: let's let Marcel throw it on first and second down.
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: And then, of course, he throws a pick or they
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: throws it in the dirt. They just outthink themselves. Lenore Sellers.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: I sent y'all two clips. I was laughing watching their film,
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: South Carolina's film. Laughing at them. After they're up 17
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: to nothing. I'm like, what are y'all doing? Y'all should
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: be fired right now.
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: Anyway, let's compare these teams. Taylor, put all those graphics
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: for me.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: Oh, man.
• 21:18
  Speaker 6: You gave me two.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: I gave you two. It doesn't matter. We're going to
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: look at them both. These are comparisons. So I talked
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: about national rankings. Like, this is an overall... big view
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: of everything. So all these different categories and with comparison
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: between the two. So right now we're going to look
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: at LSU's offense versus Kentucky's defense. LSU's offense, ninth in
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: scoring in the country. Kentucky's defense ranked 101st in the
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: country with 26.8 points per game allowed. Total offense, LSU
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: ranked number three in the country. And that's out of
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: 138 teams. Ranked third. Kentucky's defense ranked 92nd. They allow 376.6
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: yards per game. Passing offense, 13th for LSU in the country,
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: 104th for Kentucky. Rushing offense, 15th for LSU, 76 on
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: rushing defense for Kentucky. On third down, LSU's offense is
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: 12th in the country at 52% conversion rate. Kentucky's defense
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: is 122nd. They allow first downs on 46% of third
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: downs this season. Red zone, LSU, that's kind of where
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: their weakest part is on converting, 89th in the country.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: But Kentucky's defense is 121st defense. Sacks allowed. 52% on
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: third down is. Yeah, now this is probably the most
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: even category here. Sacks allowed for LSU, 45th in the country.
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: Kentucky's defense, 58th. They got 10 sacks. But you compare
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: that to LSU, I think LSU has 22 sacks on
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: the season. So they're not getting it.
• 22:50
  Speaker 7: LSU's second in the country, if I'm not mistaken.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and most of their sacks are coming on really
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: dumb plays by the quarterback. They're not getting much pass rush.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: They have to do simulated pressures. They have to do
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: different things. So, obviously... LSU's offense has been performing at
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: a high rate, at a high clip. Now, yeah, there's McNeese.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: There's some smaller schools. But, like, Kentucky.
• 23:16
  Speaker 7: Did you just say there's some smaller schools, Clemson?
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: Well, some smaller schools.
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: All the mighty have fallen. And some poo-poo teams out there.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: Let alone Clemson. Yeah.
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah, boo.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, boo. Yeah, boo.
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: So.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: Kentucky, yes, you did a great job. I give you
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: a ton of credit going into Texas A & M
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: and bullying them in that second half and winning the game.
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: I give you a ton of credit for going to
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: South Carolina and coming back from a 17-0 deficit and
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: winning in South Carolina, a tough place. But I've got
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: to be honest with you. Those two teams blew it. Kentucky,
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: obviously the stats don't lie here. A lot of times
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: stats can be misleading. But in every team category, Kentucky's
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: middle of the road or at the back end. In
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: all of FBS, out of 138 teams, there's a ton
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: of categories. There are 100 plus. All right, let's switch
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: it over, Taylor. Let's go to LSU defense versus Kentucky offense.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: All right, let's break it down from a total scoring.
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: Kentucky's offense is 47th in the country, 34.6 points per game.
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: LSU's defense, 20th in the country, allowing only 15.2 points.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: There's some woof stats on there. There's some woof stats
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: on this Kentucky offense. Total offense, yards per game, Kentucky's
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: 53rd in the country, 416. LSU's defense, number two in
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: the country, only allowing 220.6 yards per game. Passing offense
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: for Kentucky, 73rd. LSU's defense, 18th in the country, only
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: allowing 162 yards per game. Rushing offense, 42nd. So passing offense, 73rd.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: Rushing offense, there's nothing that they're great at. They're good
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: and decent at everything.
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: Or most things, they're not great at anything. Third down.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: The money down. How many teams are there in FBS?
• 25:13
  Speaker 8: 138.
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: Kentucky's ranked 138 out of 138 on third down conversion
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: rates on offense. Converting third downs 24.5% of the time. Well,
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: the good.
• 25:23
  Speaker 8: Thing for them is LSU hasn't been good stopping third downs, right?
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a silver lining. LSU is ninth in the
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: country at stopping third downs. They allow a third down
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: 26% of the time. So that actually would be a
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: glow-up for Kentucky if they got 26% because they only
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: convert 24%. That's fair. In the red zone, okay, this
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: is their best. This is one of their best. I
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: think they have four statistical categories in, like, all the
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: 40 that are ranked that are in the top 25,
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: even though they're ranked, what, 25? Yeah. There are only
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: four categories that they're in the top 25. This is
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: one of them. Red zone, 22nd. 76.2% touchdown ratio in
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: the red zone. LSU's defense ranked 84th in red zone.
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: So if you had to like circle something for Kentucky
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: to be like, this is where we can get ours.
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: It'd be that red zone. We get in the red area.
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: Sacks allowed. They're a hundred LSU sacks per game. Second
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: in the country, 4.4 sacks per game, 22 total. Um, so,
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: We're going to get to them and get to them often.
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: I watch them. They have a really good offensive line
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: for the most part. As a whole offensive line, they
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: like to maul. They like to run. They like to
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: go downhill. Now, some of the same flaws that LSU
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: had in the run game last year are there with Kentucky.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: They get too hung up on this RPO system. I know, right?
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: They get too hung up on the RPO where their
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: linemen can't use their momentum going forward. But they do
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: have some maulers. Their left tackle, Lance Hurd, he was
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: on the preseason Outland Trophy award list.
• 27:03
  Speaker 8: Can I ask you an honest question?
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:06
  Speaker 7: Did you know that Lance Hurd played for LSU two
• 27:08
  Speaker 7: years ago? No.
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: I'm going to focus on today. I don't look back.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: Focus on today. Fair enough.
• 27:16
  Speaker 7: No, I ask that because he's a really good player.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: He is.
• 27:20
  Speaker 8: Big-time recruit from North Louisiana, started here. He had two tackles,
• 27:25
  Speaker 8: two NFL tackles. He didn't see a path to the field.
• 27:27
  Speaker 8: He goes to Tennessee last year and then Tennessee to Kentucky.
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: Tennessee could really use him.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: Colston Price, their center, he's on their Remington Trophy Award.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: So they got two really good offensive linemen. They're weak
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: at the guard situation. So interior defensive lineman for LSU,
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: playing pretty well right now. I think they could have
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: a day. They haven't faced anyone like Princewell on the
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: edge so far this season, I don't think. So, there's
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: a lot of very advantageous matchups for LSU in this
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: LSU-Kentucky game. Again, Kentucky, good at a lot of things.
• 28:03
  Speaker 8: It feels like, we were talking about it last night,
• 28:06
  Speaker 8: it feels like everything's just kind of balanced. It's good,
• 28:11
  Speaker 8: it's not over the top, it's not bad, but it's
• 28:14
  Speaker 8: just kind of somewhere in the middle. Even, we were
• 28:16
  Speaker 8: talking about their personnel, they're 50-50 basically with 11 and
• 28:18
  Speaker 8: 12 personnel. Just kind of like everything they do is
• 28:22
  Speaker 8: just kind of like right there in the middle.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's nothing that they do great. Now, one consistent
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: thing they had, since you know the graph, we can
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: pull that up next segment. Kenny Minshew has played, he's
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: been like the stabilizing force for them. He's not going
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: to go out there and put the whole team on
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: his back and go win that thing for you because
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: of him. They're going to win it because of him,
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: but because he's, being efficient and taking care of the ball.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: He's done a very good job of taking care of
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: the ball. 11 touchdowns to one interception on the season,
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: just one interception. And he's the only quarterback with a
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: pass attempt for Kentucky this year. So it's not like
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: they've had a bunch of people come in. I mean,
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: they played South Alabama and they played that one pretty tight.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: So they didn't have like mop up duty situations. So
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: what he's done, he takes care of the football. He
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: doesn't make any really dumb mistakes. He, Runs out of bounds.
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: He throws it away. He slides. He does all these things.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: He's not going to sit there and run back and
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: forth and take a 17-yard sack. He tries to stay
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: ahead of the sticks, tries to keep his team on schedule,
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: and that's all this offense really is asking of him.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: right that's all they're doing they're gonna they're gonna they're
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: gonna dink and dunk you they're gonna do wide receiver
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: screens they're gonna get an 11 personnel or 12 personnel
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: and they're gonna run oh they're gonna do screen they're
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: gonna run four to five naked bootlegs every single game
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: with sliders underneath yeah and then they're gonna run run
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: run and they're gonna try to take a shot down
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: the field yeah and their protection is probably not gonna hold.
• 29:55
  Speaker 7: Up former LSU receiver Nick Anderson probably.
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: Potentially I mean it's only got Nine receptions on the year.
• 30:01
  Speaker 7: But it feels like when they try to take a shot,
• 30:02
  Speaker 7: he's the guy.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: He's got nine receptions for 120. He's their third leading receiver. Oh, wow.
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: With 120 yards.
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: I'm looking at your next graphic. Kenny Darby, their leading receiver.
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: He was an LSU commit under Brian Kelly. He's from
• 30:17
  Speaker 6: Bossier City.
• 30:19
  Speaker 7: Airline, right?
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: Chefs of the Vikings. Airline Vikings. Airline Vikings. There you go.
• 30:28

  Speaker 3: Slides on slides. On slides.
• 30:36

  Speaker 8: here live from the Raising Cane Studio.
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: Off the bench.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: Welcome back to Off the Bench. Wednesday's show is brought
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: to you by Poncho.
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: Who is something about? Just something about the way she moves.
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: I can't figure it out. It's something about her. Who
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: is something about? Got no woman that want you but
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: don't need you. I can't figure it out. It's something
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: about her.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: All right welcome back in otb continue to look at
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: lsu versus kentucky coming up this weekend in lexington.
• 32:12
  Speaker 7: This kentucky offense is about as balanced as you will
• 32:18
  Speaker 7: see an offense right and Balance to me, and everybody,
• 32:23
  Speaker 7: I guess, interprets it a little bit differently.
• 32:25
  Speaker 8: Balance to me is just like, do you pass when
• 32:27
  Speaker 8: it makes sense? Do you run when it makes sense?
• 32:29
  Speaker 8: Do you have a mixture?
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: Do you keep?
• 32:31
  Speaker 7: I don't have to have 50-50.
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: I'm just not. I want to see 50% pass, 50% run.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: That's what Kentucky is.
• 32:34
  Speaker 7: Kentucky, 50.8% of the time, pass.
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: 49.2% of the time, run.
• 32:36
  Speaker 7: They are balanced. If that's your idea of being balanced,
• 32:38
  Speaker 7: it's Kentucky. They do it 50-50, basically right there on
• 32:55
  Speaker 7: the line.
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: There it is, right there. What did Mike Leach say?
• 33:02
  Speaker 7: I didn't know if that was going to be on
• 33:03
  Speaker 7: the next slide. Oh, yeah, it's right here, baby.
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: What did Mike Leach say? Balance offense doesn't really necessarily
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: mean run, pass. It just means you balance it out
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: between who's touching the ball, whether it's throwing it to
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: them or running it to them.
• 33:17
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: Kentucky took it very literal. We're going to balance this
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: baby out big time. Joe's sitting up there. Hey, hey, hey, no, no, no.
• 33:26
  Speaker 8: Got to call a pass. We got away from 50-50.
• 33:28
  Speaker 8: I mean, it literally feels like that. It's hard to
• 33:32
  Speaker 8: find one that's right at 50% for both. Yeah, no,
• 33:36
  Speaker 8: this is as close as you get to it. And
• 33:39
  Speaker 8: this is just kind of their offense, an overview of
• 33:43
  Speaker 8: their offense. And this is the guy right here, Kenny Menchie.
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: He is the reason why. Your team has won the
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: games that it has. It's the reason why you are
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: ranked in the top 25, because there's nothing else that
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: you like. There's nothing that you do exceptionally well. 97
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: of 142 completion, 1148 yards, 68.3 completion percentage, which is fantastic. Yeah.
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: 11 touchdowns to one interception. That ratio is elite. That
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: ratio is real. Am I saying he's an elite quarterback?
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: No.
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: No. The guy just doesn't make mistakes with the ball.
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: He's accurate. He's calm in the pocket. Pocket. I said
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: that weird. Pocket. Pocket. Calm in the pocket. Hey, Tommy.
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: Go catch the socks. He's calm in the pocket, but
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: he doesn't do, there's nothing, like I said, he's got
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: negative one yards rushing on the year. He'll make a
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: play with his feet if he has to, but he
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: doesn't want to. But he has been kind of, like,
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: without him, They've lost three games probably. So he is
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: a stabilizing force. And it's not like Kenny Darby, he's
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: done well. He's got 25 receptions for 322 yards, three touchdowns.
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: Their second leading receiver, Willie Rodriguez, really good tight end,
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: number 81, 22 receptions, 194 yards, one touchdown. Nick Anderson,
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: their third leading receiver, he is number four, nine receptions.
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: So the third leading receiver. Receiver has nine receptions, 122 yards,
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: one touchdown. Henry Boyer, the other tight end, number 87,
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: eight receptions, three touchdowns on the year.
• 35:28
  Speaker 8: Just to throw that into a little bit of a comparison,
• 35:32
  Speaker 8: LSU's leading receivers, 23, 15, 14, 19 catches. So you
• 35:39
  Speaker 8: don't have kind of the same volume. Now, obviously, the
• 35:45
  Speaker 8: passing attacks are different. but LSU disperses the football to
• 35:50
  Speaker 8: way more. Like even like Dylan Jones has 11 catches, Matt.
• 35:54
  Speaker 8: So like he would be third on this team and he's,
• 35:59
  Speaker 8: let's see, he's like what?
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: Six on LSU's team.
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: And that's, and that's what's really interesting. What you're going
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: to see is a, an offense that you're not going
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: to see a whole heck of a lot in college
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: football these days. Um, Look at these personnel, key personnel.
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: So if everybody remembers, 11 personnel is what? Alondra. Alondra.
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: 11 personnel.
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: One running back and one tight end.
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: Awesome.
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: How many receivers?
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: Three.
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: Perfect. What's 12 personnel?
• 36:24
  Speaker 5: One running back, two tight ends, two receivers.
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: Bingo. Those two personnel's groupings you're going to see. Jake,
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: what is LSU runs 11 personnel? What percentage of the time?
• 36:39
  Speaker 8: I believe it is 84% of the time.
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: 84% of the time LSU is in one running back,
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: one tight end, three wide receivers. Kentucky is in 11 personnel,
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: 48% of the time. What's beautiful about it is they're
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: in 12 personnel. 12 personnel is a great personnel. I
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: prefer 21, but yeah, it's not that. Sure, you get it.
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: 12 personnel with two tight ends, 132 plays. That's 40.9.
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: So almost 41% of the time they're going to have
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: at least two tight ends out on the field. What's
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: even more beautiful, my God, is that every now and
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: then with Kentucky, their quarterback touches the center's butt.
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: Get out my butt.
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: Get out my butt. They go under center, which is
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: a beautiful thing. Please, for the love of God, high schools, colleges,
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: go under center. Please. Asking for a friend. Not every time.
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: Just a little bit. They run 13 personnel, which is
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: three tight ends. 5.3% of the time, 14 personnel, 3.4%
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: of the time. Now, those are their short yardage, their
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: goal line. They use a tight end, kind of like
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: a fullback. They'll put heavy formation in there. They'll put
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: an extra offensive tackle, go heavy to the left. They'll
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: put two tackles to the left side. They do some
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: old school things in new school ways. They'll shift to it.
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: They'll motion to it.
• 38:00
  Speaker 7: What did we call when we brought in an extra
• 38:04
  Speaker 7: offensive lineman?
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: Jumbo, right? We had two.
• 38:07
  Speaker 7: We had Jumbo, and then we had Elephant.
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: Elephant. Elephant was the quarterback sneak with Herman in the back.
• 38:13
  Speaker 8: Herman would come in, but another lineman would come in,
• 38:16
  Speaker 8: and Herman would get him.
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: And it was this.
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: I like that.
• 38:21
  Speaker 6: I don't remember y'all running that.
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was kind of dumb.
• 38:24
  Speaker 5: So the 14 is usually on the goal line?
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 38:27
  Speaker 5: Because when you sent that last night, I was like, 14?
• 38:30
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's like their goal line package.
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so they'll have like a, They'll have a tight
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: end to the right. They'll have a tight end to
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: the left and an offset tight end. Then they'll have
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: a tight end as a fullback. So it's like an
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: old school goal line package.
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: I'm into that.
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's good. And so rushing, they got two. So, Taylor,
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: is there any injuries from the running back standpoint? Yes.
• 38:52
  Speaker 6: Well, yeah, but C.J.
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: Baxter. Okay. C.J. Baxter, both these guys can run the
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: ball pretty well. Patterson's been banged up. So both these
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: guys have pretty darn good vision. C.J. Baxter, number one
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: jersey number. He has 68 carries, 361, six touchdowns on
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: the year. A lot of that coming on the goal
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: line as well. Jason Patterson, number 26. I guess he's
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: banged up. 45 carries, 355, three touchdowns. Again, they want
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: to play big boy ball if it's third and one.
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: If you get inside the three-yard line, they want to
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: play big boy ball. So LSU defensive line, LSU linebackers.
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: got to, he, better listen to that heavy metal. You better,
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: you know, do something, bang your head against each other.
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: Like on the sideline, you got to get your mind,
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: get the smelling salts out this week. Yeah. Defensive line.
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: But again, they got to get some good players, offensive,
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: offensive line. They got some good tight ends, but they
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: are 100% beatable. They got stuff plenty. on those short
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: yards and goal line situations. Now, there were some terrible clips.
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: South Carolina, I don't know. I don't even know what
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: to say about them at some points. But, like, this
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: is a good offense. This is not even close to
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: a great offense. This is a good, manageable offense. A
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: lot of eye candy. They try to out-coach themselves a
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: lot with all these shifts and motions. Just stay disciplined.
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: Just read your keys. Stay disciplined with your eyes and
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: just play football. Like, they're going to try to fool
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: you pre-step. Just read and react.
• 40:20
  Speaker 8: Jason Patterson left the South Carolina game with a quad
• 40:23
  Speaker 8: injury after rushing for 29 yards on five carries. So
• 40:27
  Speaker 8: we'll see there. They're banged up at linebacker as well.
• 40:30
  Speaker 8: Multiple guys on the injury report. So another kind of
• 40:33
  Speaker 8: position to pay attention to for Kentucky when it comes
• 40:36
  Speaker 8: to injuries. Because even their backup, Antoine Smith, I believe,
• 40:41
  Speaker 8: left the game against South Carolina with an injury.
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: So he was already replacing somebody.
• 40:45
  Speaker 8: So running back Jason Patterson, linebacker Antoine Smith, and defensive
• 40:48
  Speaker 8: back jayden smith all left the game with injuries so
• 40:52
  Speaker 8: we'll get an update on those guys as we get
• 40:54
  Speaker 8: farther down the road this week all right we'll step
• 40:57

  Speaker 1: to you by Poncho.
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: All right, welcome back in OTV.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: Here live from the Raising Cane Studio.
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: Wednesday shows brought to you.
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: By our friends over.
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: At Poncho Outdoors.
• 42:49
  Speaker 8: Matt, what do you think Kentucky's formula is going to
• 42:52
  Speaker 8: be for them.
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: To be successful? What their formula is.
• 42:57
  Speaker 8: What do you think they think that they have to
• 42:59
  Speaker 8: get done? I would assume that it would be to
• 43:02
  Speaker 8: shorten the game.
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 43:04
  Speaker 8: Finish the drives because that's what they're good at, where
• 43:07
  Speaker 8: they've had success, and try whatever they can for LSU
• 43:13
  Speaker 8: not to turn it into a track meet. Because that's
• 43:16
  Speaker 8: not who they are.
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah. They don't want to play a track meet. Like, defensively,
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: they don't blitz a lot. They blitz every now and then,
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: and usually it's a simulated pressure. They bring the Sam
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: or the nickel off the edge, and they drop the
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: backside defensive end. They've done that. The two games I watched,
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: they did it probably six, seven times during that game.
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: Their changeup is bringing one linebacker up the A gap. Like,
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: they're not that, and they play, they're pretty balanced between
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: cover one, cover two, cover three, cover four. On offense,
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: I know what their formula is.
• 43:46
  Speaker 7: Simulated pressure on 43.3% of the snaps.
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're not bringing just a whole lot of– I
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: didn't see any cover zero.
• 43:53
  Speaker 8: Only brought six guys 6% of the time. They haven't
• 43:56
  Speaker 8: brought seven guys, to your point, about zero.
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so just– and offense, I know what their game
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: plan is. It's the same as it is every week.
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: Try to create advantageous looks because of all of our
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: shifts and motions, even if it's a dumb amount of them.
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: That's not going to work. Try to do little shifts,
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: motions here or there. Misdirection. Everybody go left. We got
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: one guy squirting out to the right.
• 44:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: And we're going to bootleg out. So they're going to misdirect.
• 44:23
