4:30
Speaker 1: a result of similar issues. If you notice Saturday night
4:34

Speaker 1: without a shoe on one of his feet. I think
4:41

4:45
Speaker 1: hurting like crazy. Got a doctor's appointment Monday meeting today.
4:51

Speaker 1: their coaching staff. New managers ship a skip Schumacher staff
6:15
Speaker 1: don't say that fast, I'm a professional. Will not retain
6:21
Speaker 1: Bobby Wilson. The fate of the rest of the coaching
6:25
Speaker 1: staff uncertain. Wilson was a catcher for two seasons with
6:30
Speaker 1: the Rangers, have been part of the coaching staff since
6:33
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. Connor McDavid is staying with the Edmonton Oilers,
6:42

17:42
Speaker 22: I just want to start by recognizing a big event
17:44
Speaker 22: Wednesday night. We got the top ten women's volleyball game
17:47
Speaker 22: going on over in Rid Arena. Congratulations to coach Morrison
17:51
Speaker 22: and the start that the girls have gotten off to
17:53
Speaker 22: and anybody who can get out and support them. They
17:56
Speaker 22: got Kentucky coming into town. That'll be a great game
17:58
Speaker 22: for them, and so we'll be watching we always do
18:01
Speaker 22: with the radio show. It's kind of a radio show
18:02
Speaker 22: ritual to watch the A and M women's volleyball game
18:04
Speaker 22: on TV. But please get out to read it and
18:07
Speaker 22: give them they give them some support. I want to
18:10
Speaker 22: recognize the nineteen seventy five team. This is a throwback
18:13
Speaker 22: jersey game for us, and we'll be recognizing the nineteen
18:17
Speaker 22: seventy five team. They were the Southwest Conference champions. They
18:21
Speaker 22: reached as high as number two in the polls that
18:23
Speaker 22: year and produce ten NFL draft picks, which is still
18:27
Speaker 22: the largest number in any given year.
18:29
Speaker 7: For Texas A and M football.
18:31
Speaker 22: And so it'd be great to get all of those
18:33
Speaker 22: guys back, or as many of those guys as we
18:35
Speaker 22: can back on campus. It's always great when we get
18:37
Speaker 22: former teams back on campus as we kind of continue
18:41
Speaker 22: to try to build this Aggi football family to be
18:44
Speaker 22: an all inclusive thing. Looking back at the game the
18:47
Speaker 22: other night, starting with our players of the game from
18:51
Speaker 22: a scout team perspective this week, Offensively it was Josh Moses,
18:55
Speaker 22: Defensively it was Dejon Peedaway, and on special teams it
18:58
Speaker 22: was Johnny Ryder.
19:00
Speaker 7: Our defensive Lineman of the week was cash As Hall.
19:03
Speaker 22: He had three sacks and so again another very disruptive,
19:07
Speaker 22: productive night for him getting after the quarterback.
19:11
Speaker 7: Our offensive player of the week was Ruben Owens.
19:14
Speaker 22: It was great to see him really kind of hit
19:16
Speaker 22: his stride twenty one carries for one hundred and forty
19:19
Speaker 22: two yards, really did a nice job consistently running the
19:23
Speaker 22: football the way we would like to see him do it,
19:26
Speaker 22: and obviously he has home run ability and so really
19:29
Speaker 22: big night for him. The defensive Player of the Week
19:33
Speaker 22: goes to Damian Sanford. Damien at nine tackles, two TFLs,
19:37
Speaker 22: one sack, and one interception, and so when you talk
19:39
Speaker 22: about filling a stat book, that's kind of what that
19:42
Speaker 22: feels like. Damien was the co SEC Defensive Player of
19:46
Speaker 22: the Week this week. Cassius was the SEC defensive lineman
19:49
Speaker 22: in the Week of the Week this week, and so
19:51
Speaker 22: it's nice to see our defensive kids get some recognition.
19:54
Speaker 22: And then our Special Teams Player of the Week was
19:56
Speaker 22: Casey Concepcion for continuing to do a really good job
20:00
Speaker 22: back there returning punts and I think as we looked
20:02
Speaker 22: at the game again, you know the iPads make it
20:05
Speaker 22: a little bit easier because you have a little bit
20:06
Speaker 22: clearer view when.
20:07
Speaker 7: You come in after the game of what actually happened.
20:10
Speaker 22: But you know, again, I think defensively, we played really
20:14
Speaker 22: well start to finish, you know, I think we gave
20:16
Speaker 22: them one drive early. I think outside of that, we
20:19
Speaker 22: really did a good job of executing what we were
20:22
Speaker 22: trying to get accomplished. Holding them to a field goal
20:25
Speaker 22: on the one drive I thought was big. Also, that's
20:28
Speaker 22: one of the things that we really emphasize when we
20:30
Speaker 22: play those teams is trying to make sure that when
20:32
Speaker 22: they do move the ball that you can limit them
20:34
Speaker 22: to field goals. Our drive efficiency was ten out of twelve,
20:38
Speaker 22: which is really obviously good.
20:40
Speaker 7: For the evening.
20:41
Speaker 22: Offensively, you know, it was interesting because we were efficient
20:45
Speaker 22: driving the football nine out of twelve times. I think
20:48
Speaker 22: the game changes a little bit because we don't convert
20:52
Speaker 22: the fourth and one, which we come away from zero points,
20:54
Speaker 22: and then we throw the interception in the first half
20:57
Speaker 22: and we come away with zero points. I think those
20:59
Speaker 22: two drives coming away empty obviously we're huge killers for
21:04
Speaker 22: us in terms of trying to build some early momentum
21:07
Speaker 22: from early points. I thought we came out in the
21:09
Speaker 22: second half, got into a much better rhythm. We're able
21:12
Speaker 22: to finish drives, finish drives with touchdowns, three straight drives
21:17
Speaker 22: through the end of the third quarter into the fourth
21:18
Speaker 22: where we're able to score, and that gave us a
21:21
Speaker 22: chance to pull away and win that one, kind of
21:24
Speaker 22: going away, and so it was a good night. It
21:26
Speaker 22: was a good night for us taking the next step forward.
21:28
Speaker 22: And now, obviously we have an enormous challenge this week
21:32
Speaker 22: with Florida coming in. I think Florida's by far and
21:34
Speaker 22: away the most talented team that we've played this year.
21:37
Speaker 22: They've got an excellent group of players, They've played a
21:40
Speaker 22: very competitive schedule, They've played in two top ten road
21:43
Speaker 22: environments already, so they're going to be well versed in
21:46
Speaker 22: what this is like and what it's going to be
21:48
Speaker 22: like coming into Kyle Field coming off of a huge
21:50
Speaker 22: top ten win last weekend, and so they'll be full
21:53
Speaker 22: of confidence and certainly very excited to come in here
21:56
Speaker 22: and give us their best shot. And so we're looking
21:58
Speaker 22: forward to the challenge and we'll be excited to back
22:00
Speaker 22: under the lights in Kyle Field, and so from there
22:02
Speaker 22: we'll open it up the questions, we're going to go.
22:04
Speaker 25: There, right, David, Mike not asking for too many coaching
22:08
Speaker 25: secrets here when I asked this, But you guys have
22:10
Speaker 25: shown the ability to win a shootout, the grind out
22:13
Speaker 25: game physicality. How much of that is like the in
22:17
Speaker 25: game chess piece or is it some of the stuff
22:19
Speaker 25: leading into the week for the game prep.
22:22
Speaker 7: Yeah, probably a little bit of both.
22:24
Speaker 22: I think obviously, when you go into a game, you
22:27
Speaker 22: kind of have a feeling for where the advantages are,
22:31
Speaker 22: what the game is going to look like, you know
22:34
Speaker 22: what success potentially is going to look like. You know,
22:37
Speaker 22: sometimes you know success is going to look like you know,
22:40
Speaker 22: we're gonna have to make an awful lot of stops
22:42
Speaker 22: on defense because you know their defense is really good
22:45
Speaker 22: and we have an advantage with our defense.
22:46
Speaker 7: You know.
22:47
Speaker 22: Sometimes it's the other way, you know, where we're gonna
22:49
Speaker 22: have to score a lot of points because the matchup
22:52
Speaker 22: with their offense and our defense maybe isn't ideal. And
22:56
Speaker 22: then I think sometimes you go into a game and
22:58
Speaker 22: it starts going a certain way and you have to adjust,
23:01
Speaker 22: And I think that's one of the things we try
23:03
Speaker 22: to do really well. Like you get these analytics books
23:08
Speaker 22: off of a certain score projection, but the game doesn't
23:12
Speaker 22: always go that way, and so I chuckle sometimes when
23:15
Speaker 22: people stick to the books, because sometimes in game the
23:19
Speaker 22: actual percentages and the probabilities are not the same as
23:23
Speaker 22: what maybe you thought they would be going into it,
23:25
Speaker 22: and so we try to adjust as best we count
23:27
Speaker 22: the fly to kind of marry game flow and what's happening.
23:31
Speaker 7: With the choices and decisions we make.
23:33
Speaker 18: To the left second row, Aaron, Hey, coach, just wondering
23:37
Speaker 18: what assesssance you have over Dj Lagway so far?
23:40
Speaker 22: Yeah, I think Dj is obviously a kid that we've known,
23:43
Speaker 22: tried very hard to get him here, an extremely talented quarterback.
23:48
Speaker 22: I think again, media narratives to me are so funny.
23:51
Speaker 22: I think he's playing so much better. I think he's
23:53
Speaker 22: made a lot of growth and taking a lot of strides.
23:55
Speaker 22: You see him very very comfortable back there, and so yeah,
23:59
Speaker 22: I think he's playing at a really, really high level.
24:01
Speaker 7: Is a really talented kid.
24:03
Speaker 18: Front road to the right, Travis, what spends the maybe
24:08
Speaker 18: key to some of the success in the red zone
24:10
Speaker 18: and how much of that maybe goes back to that
24:12
Speaker 18: kind of finished Montreal have had this year.
24:13
Speaker 22: Yeah, you're talking about our offensive success. Yeah, yeah, I
24:17
Speaker 22: think I think finish for sure. I think that's a
24:20
Speaker 22: big part of it. Our ability to run the ball
24:22
Speaker 22: I think helps you know that that makes it easier.
24:25
Speaker 22: Our ability then to create some separation in the one
24:28
Speaker 22: on one matchups that you get because.
24:30
Speaker 7: You can run the ball. And then I just think,
24:33
Speaker 7: you know, again, you.
24:35
Speaker 22: Emphasize things, and you get some and you don't get some,
24:38
Speaker 22: but we do put such a tremendous emphasis in it.
24:41
Speaker 7: I don't think there's a.
24:42
Speaker 22: Lot of teams that go out on Monday and spend
24:45
Speaker 22: you know, ten minutes working third downs inside the ten
24:48
Speaker 22: yard line, Like, I don't know that that's normal, and
24:50
Speaker 22: we do, and that's just because of the premium of
24:54
Speaker 22: those plays. You know, we throw the touchdown to Casey
24:57
Speaker 22: on a third and goal. You know, the difference between
24:59
Speaker 22: that touchdown in a fourteen to three lead and that
25:03
Speaker 22: becoming a field goal drive and a ten to three
25:05
Speaker 22: lead is so enormous in terms of.
25:07
Speaker 7: How the game plays out. And so, you know, we
25:10
Speaker 7: try to really focus on that area of the field
25:13
Speaker 7: and it's been good to us so far this year.
25:15
Speaker 23: So the last second route Alex Arcel made us first
25:18
Speaker 23: start against Florida last year, you know, and had a
25:21
Speaker 23: pretty successful game. Just how does how do you think
25:24
Speaker 23: maybe getting off on the right foot and having a
25:26
Speaker 23: game like that.
25:27
Speaker 26: Did for his kind of confidence and mental fortitude.
25:31
Speaker 22: Yeah, you know, listen, that wasn't an easy situation, and
25:34
Speaker 22: I think you know not a lot of people wanted
25:38
Speaker 22: to give us a ton of credit for that win
25:40
Speaker 22: last year, but that was a big win and that
25:42
Speaker 22: turned out to be a really good Florida team that
25:45
Speaker 22: is not an easy place to play. I think you've
25:47
Speaker 22: seen results since that game speak to how hard it
25:51
Speaker 22: is to go play in the swamp, and so from
25:54
Speaker 22: ourselves to go in there as a first time starter play.
25:58
Speaker 7: The way he did, win in the game the way
26:01
Speaker 7: we did.
26:02
Speaker 22: Yeah, I think that brought a lot of confidence into
26:04
Speaker 22: him and then to endo us as a.
26:05
Speaker 7: Team in terms of what we can do.
26:07
Speaker 21: Now.
26:08
Speaker 7: Having said all of that, none of that helps us
26:11
Speaker 7: this year.
26:12
Speaker 22: If we don't focus and do the work in preparation
26:14
Speaker 22: we need to get ready to go this year, none
26:18
Speaker 22: of that will matter.
26:19
Speaker 23: And then you touched on Lagway, But I'm just curious
26:21
Speaker 23: as you started to dive into Florida and their offense.
26:25
Speaker 23: Just what really stood out to you about the most
26:27
Speaker 23: the most about them and the way they were of
26:28
Speaker 23: a pass the ball this last weekend against Texas.
26:32
Speaker 22: Yeah, I don't really know that I looked at it
26:33
Speaker 22: like that. I didn't just watch one game, so I
26:36
Speaker 22: don't know that I have a great feel for that question.
26:39
Speaker 22: I think they're really physical. I think they have really
26:41
Speaker 22: talented pieces on the outside. I think they create a
26:44
Speaker 22: lot of stress on you in terms of how you
26:47
Speaker 22: commit numbers to the run versus commit numbers to coverage,
26:50
Speaker 22: and they're able to kind of take advantage of you
26:53
Speaker 22: in a lot of different ways. And so I would
26:56
Speaker 22: say they just present a lot of challenges to you
26:59
Speaker 22: in terms of defending line.
27:00
Speaker 4: That's Coachelko.
27:01
Speaker 1: You heard him lost some of you heard it live
27:05
Speaker 1: here on the Zone at one thirty this afternoon. I
27:08
Speaker 1: just I found it very interesting that he called this
27:11
Speaker 1: Florida team, by far and away the most talented team
27:17
Speaker 1: we've seen is Notre Dame, Chop Liver. I mean, I
27:21
Speaker 1: think Notre Dame is pretty talented both sides of the ball.
27:25
Speaker 1: Still think that, and I was having this conversation today.
27:30
Speaker 1: I still think Notre Dame is going to be in
27:32
Speaker 1: the playoffs. I think they're going to run the table.
27:35
Speaker 1: It's gonna be very controversial, you know, because they lost
27:38
Speaker 1: two games, but hey, the more A and m wins
27:42
Speaker 1: and who they lose to in the first game, Miami, Okay,
27:45
Speaker 1: they've lost their two losses are the two top five teams.
27:48
Speaker 4: Okay.
27:49
Speaker 1: If it stays that way, they're gonna have an argument.
27:55
Speaker 1: And look, I if you know anything about me, you know,
28:00
Speaker 1: oh I am not a Notre Dame guy. Okay, but
28:05
Speaker 1: if you know anything about me, you also know.
28:09
Speaker 21: That I.
28:11
Speaker 1: Tell you the truth, and the truth is Notre Dame
28:16
Speaker 1: is going to be there if they run the table,
28:18
Speaker 1: and I don't see anybody beating them. So but back
28:23
Speaker 1: to the original, far and away the most talented now
28:27
Speaker 1: coach Elko has a little Lou Holtz in him. We've
28:30
Speaker 1: seen that before, you know, building up the directional schools
28:34
Speaker 1: they played this year. But I mean everybody from the
28:42
Speaker 1: outside had Florida rated pretty highly when the season started.
28:47
Speaker 1: Obviously it hadn't turned out that way.
28:52
Speaker 4: And they beat A.
28:57
Speaker 1: Do we want to call Texas average? Like out of
29:00
Speaker 1: an average team? I mean, yeah, so we've got more
29:06
Speaker 1: to see. So it's weird and we'll talk to the
29:10
Speaker 1: I'll talk to the writers about this every week. It's like, oh,
29:13
Speaker 1: this is the best team that's coming in. So at
29:16
Speaker 1: the time we thought Auburn was the best of those
29:18
Speaker 1: three straight games, right, and then after we saw Auburn,
29:21
Speaker 1: we go and Missippi stated taken Tennessee to ot their
29:25
Speaker 1: four and one. You're going, okay, okay, Well, this is
29:28
Speaker 1: the best team of the three coming in. Now Florida's
29:30
Speaker 1: coming off the winover Texas, and we're going, okay, okay, okay,
29:34
Speaker 1: this is the best of the three teams coming in.
29:39
Speaker 4: We'll see how all that plays out. All right, We're
29:42
Speaker 4: going to take a break.
29:43
Speaker 1: As I mentioned earlier, we've got a special guest coming
29:48
Speaker 1: into the studio. Doesn't always happen, but I'm excited about that.

36:14
Speaker 4: you sell during the course of.
36:15
Speaker 20: The See if I read it at one point that
36:18
Speaker 20: we went through almost ninety thousand.
36:20
Speaker 1: On some Wow, there's a lot of turkey that aren't
36:23
Speaker 1: able to walk after Renfest.
36:25
Speaker 5: Oh I hadn't. I hadn't really thought about that. Well,
36:31
Speaker 5: I suppose we can use their breasts at Thanksgiving.
36:36
Speaker 4: That's a good point.
36:38
Speaker 1: I don't how do you explain to people, and there
36:41
Speaker 1: are people new to the community every year, how do
36:43
Speaker 1: you explain to people what Renfest is when they're going
36:48
Speaker 1: to come out for the first time.
36:49
Speaker 4: What should they expect?
36:50
Speaker 20: Well, what they should do is they expect should expect
36:53
Speaker 20: to throw off all their troubles and travails from the
36:56
Speaker 20: work week. They should expect to come to our beautifully
37:00
Speaker 20: sixteenth century recreated village and once you walk through the gates,
37:05
Speaker 20: you are transported to a land of fantasy and magic.
37:09
Speaker 5: It's absolutely glorious.
37:11
Speaker 20: People in costumes, music around every corner. Stage is filled
37:17
Speaker 20: with entertainment, and over four hundred artists, artisans and craftsmen
37:23
Speaker 20: there making unique special items in every medium you can imagine.
37:30
Speaker 20: It's just a wonderful experience. And every one of these
37:33
Speaker 20: artisans as a private business owner.
37:36
Speaker 5: The text Renaissance doesn't own all the goose. They're all
37:39
Speaker 5: privately owned by our artists and artisans.
37:42
Speaker 20: So you're going out there, not only are you supporting
37:45
Speaker 20: the Texas Renaissance Festival, you're supporting small business, and you're
37:49
Speaker 20: keeping artists alive because many of them have this has
37:53
Speaker 20: been their livelihood for over fifty years. Out there, one
37:56
Speaker 20: of our favorites is a queen of the Empanadas, Lady Giles.
38:01
Speaker 5: She's been out there forty nine.
38:03
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh. Indeed, now I know I've been here
38:06
Speaker 4: a while, so I know you've been here a while.
38:08
Speaker 20: Oh indeed, indeed I've spent well my youth forty years
38:13
Speaker 20: out there, and of course the last twenty seven I
38:15
Speaker 20: have when I took over as king. It's just been
38:18
Speaker 20: an amazing time going all over the Brass Valley with
38:22
Speaker 20: my queen telling everyone about the pistole.
38:25
Speaker 1: Has anyone during that time tried to usurp the throne?
38:28
Speaker 1: That's what I want to know.
38:30
Speaker 5: No, it seems to be a throne that people don't
38:33
Speaker 5: really watch.
38:34
Speaker 1: It's just too much fun, too much fun.
38:44
Speaker 5: Indeed, as they say, it's good to be king, and
38:48
Speaker 5: as I often respond, it does not suck.
38:50

44:33
Speaker 1: Tomorrow, author Jane Eisner in her book on Carol King
44:37
Speaker 1: she made the Earth move. That's tomorrow on the program.
44:41
Speaker 1: But right now, we got to go out and listen
44:44
Speaker 1: to part of the Steve Sarkesian News conference today.
44:53
Speaker 4: WHOA, WHOA, What what happened was?
44:56
Speaker 26: When you look at it, it was just not a
44:58
Speaker 26: very good start to the ballgame four. You know, I
45:01
Speaker 26: think I think Florida scored in the first three of
45:03
Speaker 26: the four drives they had. Of the three scoring drives,
45:07
Speaker 26: I think all three drives were ten plus plays in
45:10
Speaker 26: those drives, so they really controlled the ball. They got
45:13
Speaker 26: themselves in very manageable third downs. I think there were
45:15
Speaker 26: five for six on third down in those drives, and
45:18
Speaker 26: so they possessed the ball. And on the flip side, offensively,
45:21
Speaker 26: we were not very good on third down in the
45:23
Speaker 26: first half, and the majority of those third downs were
45:26
Speaker 26: third and eleven plus. I think six of our eleven
45:29
Speaker 26: third downs were third. We're third or nine plus, which
45:33
Speaker 26: is not a winning form in the first success. That
45:35
Speaker 26: goes back to line of scrimmage. I did not think
45:37
Speaker 26: that we played well on either side of the ball
45:39
Speaker 26: the line of scrimmage in the game. We are more
45:43
Speaker 26: than capable to perform better than that, and we're gonna
45:45
Speaker 26: need to in this conference, regardless of the opponent, to
45:48
Speaker 26: be better, to be better at the line of scrimmage
45:50
Speaker 26: that way. You know, a couple of things that were
45:52
Speaker 26: to me a little uncharacteristic that that we're kind of frustrating, was,
45:58
Speaker 26: you know, coming out in the first half of the game,
46:00
Speaker 26: I thought we managed the crowd noise really well, and
46:03
Speaker 26: then in the second half I think we have five
46:05
Speaker 26: pre snap penalties that that that that you know, can
46:08
Speaker 26: mount on you, especially when you get them in back
46:10
Speaker 26: to back scenario.
46:11
Speaker 4: So we've got it.
46:12
Speaker 26: We've got to minimize the self inflicted wounds from an
46:15
Speaker 26: offensive perspective, and then defensively, you know, giving up explosive
46:19
Speaker 26: plays and that is something that we've really prided ourselves on,
46:22
Speaker 26: and we did not do a great job of that.
46:24
Speaker 26: We gave up, you know, two explosive pass plays. I
46:26
Speaker 26: think we gave up five runs that were explosive runs.
46:29
Speaker 21: Uh.
46:30
Speaker 26: And so when you allow people to get yards in chunks,
46:33
Speaker 26: you know that they can they can move down the
46:34
Speaker 26: field quickly. So we've got to get back to playing
46:36
Speaker 26: to that standard as well. You know, obviously, you know,
46:39
Speaker 26: getting a pump blocked is not ideal. We're probably fortunate
46:43
Speaker 26: that that wasn't a touchdown, that it was only a safety.
46:46
Speaker 26: Uh And credit to the defense of holding them after that.
46:49
Speaker 26: But but again I thought on special teams we were
46:51
Speaker 26: close to having some some really momentum changing plays and
46:54
Speaker 26: controlling the vertical field position.
46:56
Speaker 7: You know, three.
46:57
Speaker 26: Times we have an opportunity to pin them in so
47:00
Speaker 26: the ten, if not inside the five, you know, twice
47:03
Speaker 26: we we don't down the ball inside the five, and
47:05
Speaker 26: the other one we kind of get a bad hop
47:07
Speaker 26: by Jack. You know, it ends up being a sixty
47:09
Speaker 26: two yard punt that goes into the end zone for
47:11
Speaker 26: a touchback. So you know, we're trying to play the
47:13
Speaker 26: vertical field position game and pin them deep.
47:15
Speaker 7: We are inability to do that.
47:17
Speaker 26: That was sixty yards, right That essentially you give up
47:20
Speaker 26: in touchbacks right there. That that we've got to improve upon.
47:22
Speaker 26: But to me, one of the biggest storyline of the
47:25
Speaker 26: game is a lot of scrimmage. You know, six sacks
47:27
Speaker 26: to none. Their ability to run the ball. Our inability
47:30
Speaker 26: to run the ball I think created all of the
47:33
Speaker 26: other opportunities in the game. Created their explosive plays in
47:36
Speaker 26: the past game allowed them to rush the rush the
47:39
Speaker 26: quarterback on our end. But as I said Saturday, you know,
47:43
Speaker 26: I really want to commend our players for their fight.
47:45
Speaker 26: I thought in the second half our ability defensively, I
47:49
Speaker 26: think the final four drives were three punts in interception.
47:52
Speaker 20: Uh.
47:52
Speaker 26: The offense is ability to continue to fight down to
47:55
Speaker 26: the final whistle. So that will never be questioned about
47:58
Speaker 26: our team. We just need to play, but we need
48:00
Speaker 26: to play better when we start the ball game, and
48:02
Speaker 26: we will. And at credit to our guys, they got
48:05
Speaker 26: back to work today with the right mentality, the right
48:07
Speaker 26: right attitude that they need to have. We got week
48:10
Speaker 26: two in the SEC and it happens to be the
48:12
Speaker 26: All State Red River rovaliy against a very good Oklahoma team,
48:16
Speaker 26: fantastic defensive team. Coach Venables. You can see, you know
48:20
Speaker 26: his his you know his footprint, his handprint all over
48:23
Speaker 26: this defense. Now in year three, he's recruited the players
48:26
Speaker 26: that fit his style, the very active upfront, very athletic group,
48:30
Speaker 26: multitude of pressures, multitude of coverages. I think they lead
48:34
Speaker 26: the SEC and about everything first in scoring defense first,
48:37
Speaker 26: and passing yards allowed first, in total first down defense first,
48:41
Speaker 26: and passion pass efficiency defense first, in net punt second,
48:45
Speaker 26: and rushing defense fifth, and passing offense. So you can
48:48
Speaker 26: go down the line about how great they're playing on
48:50
Speaker 26: defense right now. So we've got our work cut out
48:53
Speaker 26: for us. And then obviously offensively, you know, they've got
48:56
Speaker 26: a dynamic play caller who stresses you with formations, with tempo.
49:01
Speaker 26: The quarterback is a tremendous player, and they got two
49:03
Speaker 26: really good wideouts and so it's gonna be a heck
49:05
Speaker 26: of a challenge for us. The goals to get to
49:08
Speaker 26: one to know this week, you know, we got to
49:09
Speaker 26: get back to one and one in conference play, and
49:11
Speaker 26: it happens to be a heck of a challenge and
49:13
Speaker 26: in my opinion, the best game in college football in
49:15
Speaker 26: the regular season. This is a great rivalry to be
49:17
Speaker 26: part of. Humbled and honored to be part of this game.
49:20
Speaker 26: And then looking forward to the opportunity Saturday afternoon.
49:24
Speaker 19: If you have a question, Chip on the far right, Steve,
49:29
Speaker 19: the offensive line, obviously it was a struggle. Do you
49:32
Speaker 19: make any other changes on the line personnel wise this week?
49:38
Speaker 19: And you know what, what else can be done? I
49:41
Speaker 19: guess gotta play better, got to coach better, gotta play better.
49:47
Speaker 3: Steve, with with with the information that you have now,
49:52
Speaker 3: do you think you and your staff made the right
49:54
Speaker 3: decision not to pursue an offensive lineman in the portal
49:57
Speaker 3: this offseason?
49:58
Speaker 26: You know, I think inevitably you can play the hypothetical
50:02
Speaker 26: and the what ifs. You know, it's what's available and
50:04
Speaker 26: then what do you have? And you know, I think
50:06
Speaker 26: our guys that we have are more than capable. Like
50:09
Speaker 26: I said, we got to coach better and we got
50:10
Speaker 26: to play better.
50:13
Speaker 17: Another O line question when it comes to determining who
50:16
Speaker 17: goes out there at left guard, You've put a few
50:17
Speaker 17: different guys there, how do you throughout the week determines
50:20
Speaker 17: who gets that opportunity or the most opportunities And then
50:23
Speaker 17: kind of with the penalties thing, y'all kept going with
50:25
Speaker 17: the clap count. Do y'all have the silent count in
50:28
Speaker 17: y'all's repertoire and how often y'all feel like you need
50:30
Speaker 17: to use it this year?
50:31
Speaker 4: Yeah?
50:32
Speaker 26: So, you know, obviously practice determines a lot of who plays,
50:37
Speaker 26: you know, who do we feel is ready to perform?
50:40
Speaker 4: And then the flow of the game.
50:42
Speaker 26: You know that I didn't think Nick Brooks was going
50:45
Speaker 26: to go out there and play a perfect games first
50:46
Speaker 26: time he's ever played in a real game at left guard.
50:49
Speaker 26: But I think there's there's there's traits in there, and
50:52
Speaker 26: there's ability in there, and the growth and practice in
50:54
Speaker 26: there that I think he's got a very bright future
50:56
Speaker 26: for us. There was gonna be growing pains, and we
50:59
Speaker 26: all lived through some of those Saturday, but I do
51:02
Speaker 26: think he's got a bright future. We definitely have the
51:04
Speaker 26: silent count. We did not think it was needed at all.
51:09
Speaker 26: Like I said, we clapped all first half long, and
51:11
Speaker 26: we were fine. I thought we got a little antsy
51:14
Speaker 26: with them making some calls to shift their defensive line
51:19
Speaker 26: that right before we were snapping the ball. That that
51:22
Speaker 26: caused us to be a little bit jittery. So we
51:24
Speaker 26: got to have a little bit more poison composure at
51:25
Speaker 26: the line of scrimmage.
51:28
Speaker 31: Coach, you said you commended the players for their fight
51:30
Speaker 31: in the second half. Why do you think it wasn't
51:32
Speaker 31: there in the first half after two weeks together.
51:35
Speaker 26: Yeah, you know, it's it's that's that's always the age
51:38
Speaker 26: old you know, challenge as a coach. You know, you
51:41
Speaker 26: think you push all the right buttons all week. Nothing
51:45
Speaker 26: indicated to me that that we weren't gonna come out
51:47
Speaker 26: and play really good. From the first play, we have
51:51
Speaker 26: an opportunity to seize all the momentum in the game.
51:54
Speaker 26: You know, it's a great hit by Grace and Littleton,
51:56
Speaker 26: the balls on the ground, and I'm not saying that
51:59
Speaker 26: would have changed the whole outcome of the game, but man,
52:01
Speaker 26: we recover a fumble right there on the you know whatever,
52:04
Speaker 26: it is thirty or so yard line going in maybe
52:07
Speaker 26: a different game. So you have to seize moments in games,
52:09
Speaker 26: you have to seize opportunities. And I thought we had
52:12
Speaker 26: some and we had opportunities to to seize some some moments,
52:16
Speaker 26: and we didn't capitalize. You know, we we we we
52:19
Speaker 26: have a we have a shot played am at Moseley.
52:21
Speaker 26: We we just miss. You know, protection is a little leaky.
52:23
Speaker 26: We have a double pass we just miss. You know,
52:25
Speaker 26: we have a fumble on the ground we don't recover.
52:27
Speaker 26: And so, you know, and really good teams play on
52:30
Speaker 26: the road. You've got to capitalize on opportunities when we're there,
52:34
Speaker 26: and we just didn't. But but again, like I said,
52:37
Speaker 26: the line of scrimmage was probably the more frustrating thing.
52:40
Speaker 26: And I take responsibility for that because again I felt
52:44
Speaker 26: really good about it going into the game.
52:46
Speaker 7: It just didn't.
52:47
Speaker 26: It just didn't come to fruition the way I had
52:49
Speaker 26: envisioned it. And so we've got to get back to
52:51
Speaker 26: the drawing board to make sure we're ready to go, right, Eric.
52:55
Speaker 31: Steve, from your vantage point, some of the areas where
52:57
Speaker 31: the offensive struggle, whether it be penalties or in a
53:00
Speaker 31: lead to convert in later downs, how much do you
53:02
Speaker 31: attribute that to inexperience on offense versus maybe preparation during
53:06
Speaker 31: the week to go out and execute.
53:07
Speaker 26: Well, I think it's it's probably a combination of things.
53:13
Speaker 26: You know, we've we've had moments. You know, I heard
53:15
Speaker 26: about for the first two or three weeks was about
53:17
Speaker 26: the passing game, and we kind of gotten that somewhat
53:20
Speaker 26: fixed and gotten guys healthy, and guys have found a rhythm,
53:23
Speaker 26: and now we're onto the run game, and now we're
53:25
Speaker 26: talking about pass protection and so again, you know, I
53:28
Speaker 26: think ultimately you try to find the best rhythm in
53:31
Speaker 26: an offense. And you know, when you focus on put
53:35
Speaker 26: so much attention on one thing and then you neglect another,
53:37
Speaker 26: then that can become an issue too.
53:39
Speaker 4: And so we've got to focus on all of it.
53:41
Speaker 26: Whether it's a player who hasn't played too much, whether
53:44
Speaker 26: it's the scheme of what we're calling, whether it's about
53:47
Speaker 26: the player's preparation and getting themselves prepared to play maybe
53:51
Speaker 26: and maybe it's a veteran player that's trying to do
53:53
Speaker 26: too much rather than just doing his job. And so
53:56
Speaker 26: there's a variety of things that can play a part
53:58
Speaker 26: into that. But I think first and foremost, for us.
54:00
Speaker 26: It's it's it's executing on first and second down, regardless
54:04
Speaker 26: of what we're calling, whether it's a run game, pass game, RPO,
54:07
Speaker 26: whatever that looks like. Because we've got to put ourselves
54:10
Speaker 26: in more manageable third downs. And you know, it doesn't
54:14
Speaker 26: matter what league you're in, from from Little league to
54:16
Speaker 26: the NFL, when when you play third and nine plus football,
54:20
Speaker 26: the percentages over time tell you your odds of converting
54:24
Speaker 26: a first down go down dramatically. And so we've got
54:27
Speaker 26: to do a better job of putting ourselves in manageable
54:30
Speaker 26: third down situations. And so everybody plays a part in that, myself,
54:35
Speaker 26: the our coaches, the play calling, to our execution on
54:39
Speaker 26: first and second down, to minimizing eliminating some of the
54:43
Speaker 26: self inflicted wounds and penalties. So all of that adds
54:46
Speaker 26: up to we have got to we've got to get
54:48
Speaker 26: ourselves into more third and two to third and six
54:50
Speaker 26: type third downs, and those they're just the nutty percentages
54:53
Speaker 26: go up that you're gonna convert.
54:55
Speaker 1: Makes it difficult when you can't run the football and
55:02
Speaker 1: you can't pass block for the quarterback to throw the football.
55:06
Speaker 4: That makes offensive football.
55:09
Speaker 3: Tough.
