  Speaker 1: Final score, Texas 20, Tennessee 17.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: So you take a deep breath. You exhale.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Maybe a sigh of relief, put a smile on your face,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: and you head on to the next one. That is
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: if you, of course, are invested in what the Longhorn
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: football team is doing.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Good afternoon, everybody.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the program here on Sports Radio AM 13
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Under the Zone, and where you can always listen to
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: us for free on the iHeartRadio app.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: My name is Craig Wake. Glad to have you with us.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: The producer, Jay Kerman, he put together that montage of highlights,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: and there were quite a few highs and lows. some
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: lows in that game as well but the Longhorns had
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: enough perseverance with that late drive and then after Tennessee
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: answered with that desperation drive to get within three and
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: I think somebody said the last 41 seconds seemed to
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: take 41 minutes to play with the penalties and all
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: the other stuff the onside kick that wasn't that was
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: that we found that they shouldn't have been and all
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: that other kind of stuff so uh that's quite the
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Saturday in Knoxville.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Quite the Saturday in Knoxville quite the Saturday all across
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: college football We had a great time previewing it for
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: you at Backport Social. And I've got to say, the
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: half of our panel who thought this would be a
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: lower scoring game, including our own Cameron Parker and including
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: Corey Mose, who joined the panel, they were right. It
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: was a real rock fight there for a couple quarters
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: in the middle. And good to see from our perspective.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: the Longhorns pull through.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: So you had it being a little more widespread on
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: the final margin.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Is that the deal?
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: I thought both offenses would score a bit more. I
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: had the margin correct in my prediction. I picked Texas
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: to win by three, but I had it a little
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: higher scoring.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Okay. All right.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Certainly the Longhorns would like to have scored more points.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: The defense played well enough, certainly with the way that
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Tennessee had been running the ball and their total offense
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: coming into the game to be able to shut that
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: down was important as well. Now, Having said that, of course,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: there are areas, need areas of improvement. And here on
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: this Longhorns Monday presentation, as we do, you know, starting
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: at 11 o'clock in the morning on Mondays, as we
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: broadcast live from the UT campus, and Mike Hardball-Harge and
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Cameron Parker join me over there. We have some analysis
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: and a look back at the game from 11 to 11.30.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: And then Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkeesian takes the microphone
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: at 11.30 for his weekly press conference. And we air
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: that in its entirety live. What we do here on
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Mondays is to, on this program, since it happens, you know,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: two and a half hours behind us, not everybody gets
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: to hear that press conference live.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: When it happens at 1130 in.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: The morning, some folks are at work, some are at lunch,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: some are just out of pocket and don't get a
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: chance to hear it. So that's why we always bring
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: it back to you when we bring you the program
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: starting at 2. So you'll hear from Longwood's head coach,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Steve Sarkeesian, all of his comments from the weekly news conference.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: We'll do that.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: There is other college football to discuss, obviously, as well,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: as Jake pointed out. We'll get to that. There is
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: NFL football. Heartbreaking loss for the Cowboys. Look, for all
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: the world, two or three times they could have put
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: the game away and won the game, and then it
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: looked like they'd done enough to tie it with waning
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: seconds left, only to see Baltimore come down and get
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: a game-winning field goal of 54 yards to win it.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: So that was something else, and we'll hear Brian Schottenheimer's
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: comments about that. Houston Texans struggling to get it going.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: They're now 0-3, lost to a heartbreaker again. It was
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: a late score for the Texans to take the lead
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: under two minutes to go, only to give up a
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: field goal drive. that the Indianapolis Colts were able to
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: pull off. So we'll hear from D'Amico Ryans, their head
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: coach as well. We don't mind hearing from you. If
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: you'd like to text the program, feel free to do it.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: All you have to do is text the word Texas,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: followed by your question or comment to 81530. So text
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: the word Texas. It can be with a capital T
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: or little t, doesn't matter. It can be all caps, whatever.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: You text the word Texas and then your question or
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: comment to 81530. Standard messaging and data rates may apply.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: We have the TalkBack microphone that we're always pleased to
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: open up for you if you want to have your
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: voice actually heard on the air. All you have to
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: do is make sure you already have the iHeartRadio app
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: downloaded on your smartphone, be it the iPhone or the Android.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: But that's it right there. It's real easy and simple
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: to do. And if you haven't downloaded it, you can
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: download it. It's real easy, and it's absolutely free as well.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: And then when you do that, then... It'll download.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: And then after it downloads on your smartphone, then you'll
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: put in your search window, your search bar, whatever, your
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: search magnifying glass. You do a little search for AM
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: 1300 The Zone. It'll pop straight up there on the
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app. So it'll be to AM 1300 The Zone.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: And then when it comes up, then you will see
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: two buttons, a little white button that That's kind of
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: triangular shape. That's to listen to what's going on the air. Like,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: you know, to hear the program that's on the air
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: right now, you would hit the white button. But there
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: is a red button with a little white microphone. That's
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: the key. That's the talkback mic. So if you want
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: to leave us a voice message, you can do that.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: You tap that red button. You have 30 seconds to
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: do it. Don't go beyond 30. It'll cut off like
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: an answering machine for those of you old school who
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: get that. But anyway, you hit the red button with
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: the white microphone, tap that, and then you can leave
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: us a message up to 30 seconds. So, that's ways
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: to reach us. We do have inconceivable this hour coming up,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: and I'm not going to put this next thing into inconceivable,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: although had the game turned the other way, had Tennessee
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: come up with a Hail Mary catch in the end
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: zone for a win, then it might have fallen into
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: the inconceivable category, which we'll get to in a moment.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Um but uh we will have.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Inconceivable coming up and uh like i said we're going
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: to review uh the longhorns game the sec college football
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: in general the new rankings are out the um Dallas Cowboys,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: the Houston Texans will do all that.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: So that's all coming up on the program today.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Okay, before we get to the break, just to make
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: sure that everything was clarified about the onside kick that
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: happened on Saturday. Tennessee had scored, of course, and then
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: we knew since they had exhausted all their timeouts and
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: got the football back, they were going to have to
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: execute an onside kick to come up with it. Their
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: first try went out of bounds, but it was only
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: flagged for going out of bounds, not because it was
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: incorrectly kicked, but it was waved off anyway because Texas
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: had called a timeout to get their special team set
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: up for that. Then the second one came and the
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: instructions then were for the Tennessee kicker to use a
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: drop kick. Now, for you old school NFL people, if
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: you never heard if you're not old school and don't
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: know what a drop kick is, you can Google search.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: It's kind of a lost art, really. The NFL used
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: to use it. Kickers used to use the drop kick
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: to kick extra points. And it's basically the art of
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: dropping the ball out of your hand. It hits the
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: ground and then you kick it. So that's how you
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: can do it. However, there are stipulations to what is
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: allowed when it is a quote-unquote free.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Kick, which... After a touch, after a safety, if.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Your team has been on the wrong end of a
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: safety and you have to free kick it, you can
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: either put it on the tee or you can just
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: punt it straight away. But that's not the case with
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: kickoffs with that. And so the second kick, after there's
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: some movement laterally along that, the second kick got past
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Ryan Wingo and it was recovered by Tennessee.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Longwood's got pressure.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Again toward the end on face on Brandon, and he
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: wound up just tossing a Hail Mary attempt in the end,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: so he was knocked away by Jelani McDonald, and that
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: was the end of the game.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: So after the.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Game, Longhorn's head coach, Steve Sarkeesian, told us that he
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: was going to check into that because he was pretty
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: sure the kick wasn't legal. And so there was a
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: lot of discussion and talking and back and forth and
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff about.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Whether the kick was legal, illegal, so on and so forth.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: There were Tennessee fans claiming that there should have been
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: pass interference called in the end zone against Texas, which
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: wasn't called. And it looked like a legitimate play. But
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: even if that had been the case, if the rules
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: had been properly adjudicated on the onside kick attempt, it
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: never would have gotten.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: To that point.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: So here's, or might not have gotten to it, put
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: it this way, they would have been pushed back and
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: had to re-kick. But here's how it goes. In the statement,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: coming from the Southeastern Conference. This is their statement, and
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: I quote, the onside kick with 122 to play in
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: the Texas at Tennessee football game on Saturday was incorrectly
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: officiated and should have resulted in a five-yard penalty on
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Tennessee and a replay of the down. A drop kick
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: is permissible, but a free kick must be made from
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: the kicking team's restraining line, which is the 35-yard line
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: on a kickoff, unless relocated by penalty. The ball was
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: at least one yard behind the 35-yard line.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: When it was kicked.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: In addition, after the ball is ready for play, the
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: kicker may not change his lateral position between the hash marks.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: That spot can change only after a charge timeout or.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: On a subsequent kick.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: The kicker's movement after the ready signal violated the rule.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: The correct enforcement is a five-yard penalty and a replay
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: of the down. The Southeastern Conference regrets the error and
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: will continue working with the secretary slash editor for NCAA
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: football rules and officials to ensure consistent application of free
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: kick rules. It was a lesson for a lot of
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: folks to learn, including those who were saying, look, he
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: wasn't across the line.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: In fact, we were behind it.
• 14:32
  Speaker 8: True.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: That's also not legal.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: It has to be on the 35 when you do it,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: when you kick it. So that's why those are put
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: on a tee quite often or laid flat if you
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: want to do like what the Falcons did against the
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Cowboys a few years ago with that watermelon kick.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: You lay it flat, but it's got to be on
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: the 35.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Or you better drop it exactly at the 35 if
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: you're going to do the drop kick, which would be
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: extremely difficult to do. Because for a lot of folks
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: who were then tweeting on Saturday night and Sunday.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Why don't more teams do this? That's why. It's extremely
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: difficult to do it legally.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Not only that, the movement laterally along the kick line
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: is not allowed.
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: So.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: Two things wrong with it, and nobody caught it.
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: Exactly. Well, somebody flagged it, but they discussed and picked
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: it up.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, initially. And then it was let go. So it was.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: And the third thing was wrong is that the replay
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: crew deemed it appropriate.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: It didn't buzz down.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: So, anyway, that's how Tennessee got the ball and had
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: the opportunity for the Hail Mary pass.
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: So.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: as others have said, can you imagine what would have
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: happened had Tennessee caught that in the end zone? Because
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: the result would not have been overturned, even with an
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: incorrect application of the rules.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: And I've had this come.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Up a lot where folks have asked me about the,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: folks have asked me about, you know, the Western Michigan,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Michigan thing, and why can't you reverse it if it
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: was done incorrectly because it was the last play of
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: the game. And that always makes me think of, was
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: it the perfect game? Was it Galarraga through for the
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Tigers against Cleveland? And Jim Joyce, the first base umpire,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: incorrectly called the final out of the game and called
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: it safe. And then he finished, and then Joyce felt
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: terrible about it. He was kind of choked up and everything,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: and he said, I ruined it for that kid. But
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Gallarado did a great job and was just as gentlemanly
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: about it as possible. But it raised a valid point.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Baseball being different than football because a timing thing and
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: more time would have been, baseball was a simple play
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: that was the last play of the game and therefore
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: would have been correctable and therefore acceptable could have been
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: overturned and the perfect game awarded because that would be
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: correcting an umpire's call just like you do on abs
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: if he misses one on the ball strike or an
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: appeal play say a guy sliding into the place called
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: out when he was safe those are correctable fixable errors
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: in a non-timed situation uh so that's you know that
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: that would be the difference of that otherwise if if
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: If Tennessee had caught the Hail Mary, the touchdown would
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: have counted, and they would not have been able to
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: go back even on Monday morning, the SEC, and retroactively
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: award the game to Texas and say, you know, they
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: blew the call on the onside kick.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Therefore, that touchdown can't count.
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: Football doesn't work like that.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: So, again, fortunately for the Longhorns, and I dare say
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: also for the SEC officiating crew in the SEC office— Oh, boy.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: It wound up not ultimately determining who won the game
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: and who lost the game.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: For the Tennessee fans complaining about P.I., yeah, why don't
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: you just take a nice little listen to this segment here.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, just— and then on top of that, I've
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: seen still frame forwards. Guys are going up to make
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: the play for the ball, and McDonald knocks it out
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: of the back of the end zone there.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: I don't think there was going to be a case
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: for a pass interference call anyway.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: No chance.
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: So, anyway— There you go. That brings us up to
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: speed on that. All right, coming up, we're going to
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: hear from Longhorn's head coach, Steve Sarkeesian. If you have
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: questions on the text line, you can text us to 81530.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: You can also leave us a talkback if you want
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: on the talkback microphone as well.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: You can comment on X on YouTube, on Facebook. We've
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: got one that we'll try and get to after the break.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: We'll do that next here on a Longhorn's Monday on
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio AM 13 Under the Zone and the iHeartRadio app. Well,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: there might have been some fans that might have turned
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: to some Tennessee whiskey after the game, especially for Tennessee fans.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: After the game on Saturday, Roger Wallace and I went
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: to a place to grab some dinner. And it was
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: a place I was familiar with from going for a
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: long run basketball games, men's and women's and then baseball
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: as well. In fact, Roger and I went there a
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: couple of times back in May when Texas had the
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: weekend series.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: Against Tennessee.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: So we went there, and there were quite a few
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: people who were kind of drowning their sorrows. And there
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: were some Longhorn fans in a rather jubilant state as well.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: What's it called in Knoxville there? Market Square? All those restaurants?
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: We weren't there. We were down by the river. Okay.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: And it was pretty hopping as well, that place. And
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: a lot of talk about the game and.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: Review of the game. So in review of that, here on.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Our Longhorns Monday, we bring you the weekly news conference
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: live at 1130 in the morning and then reconstructed for
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: you in the afternoon on Starting off the opening comments
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: from the head coach, Steve Sarkeesian.
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: It's always good to be undefeated, headed into the bye
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: and 4-0, and we got plenty of stuff to talk
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: about there. I think just a little recap of the
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: ball game, some things we talked about with the team
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: this morning. I thought one was really impressed with the offense,
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: the way we started the game. To get the ball
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: in that environment and to go seven plays, 75 yards,
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: to take the lead seven to nothing on the road,
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: I thought was really big for us about owning the environment,
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: owning the arena. Um, I've never been to a game
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: where the opposing fans were all in their seats by
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: the time we took pregame warmups. And so that was
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: a different environment and a credit to Tennessee that they
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: did a heck of a job of, of creating that
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: environment and, and all that came with it. Air force
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: one flying overhead, all the things. So I think that was,
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: that was a really cool way to start. from that
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: point forward until about the second to last offensive drive,
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: we did not play very good offensive football. And I'd
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: love to say it was this or that. It literally
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: was us taking turns of not doing the things that
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: we had practiced to do. And that was unfortunate because
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: sometimes it's easier to say, this one position group or
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: this one player or this one thing was the issue.
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: And it really wasn't. I think most importantly, we've got
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: to do our job. We've got to trust our training
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: offensively to get that done. And that'll be the task
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: this week throughout the bye week of where we need
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: to improve offensively and where we can build upon that.
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: But again, I'd love to say, man, it was just
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: the right tackle or the right guard or the center
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: or the left guard. Or the tight ends, but it
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: was like each play, somebody else was kind of taking
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: their turn. So we've got to get that rectified. We've
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: got to get these guys believing in their training and
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: trusting their training to perform. I thought they came back
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: and had a really critical drive in the fourth quarter
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: when we scored, hit Wingo on the third down conversion,
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: then the screen, and then Relique obviously scoring the touchdown.
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: So it was kind of bookending the game. how the
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: way we started the game and then kind of how
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: we finished in the middle, uh, was clearly not good
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: enough for, for the way we want to play, uh,
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: offensive football about defensively. Uh, what a tremendous performance by
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: those guys on, on the defensive side of the ball.
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: I think Tennessee was coming in average in just about
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: 300 yards a game rushing. And, you know, our first
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: point of emphasis was stopping the run. Uh, and I
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: thought we did that at an, at an elite level.
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: And the second was how could we affect the quarterback? And,
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: You know, any game you have 10 sacks, you're clearly
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: affecting the quarterback. So there was a lot of guys.
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: I know the highlight is Colin with the five sacks,
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: but I thought Lance Jackson had his best game since
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: he's been a Longhorn. I thought Maraud Watson had a
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: heck of a game for us, and just the effort
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: he showed. There's a play where the quarterback scrambles out
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: of the pocket, and he breaks from the stack and
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: gets a hit on the quarterback on their sidelines was
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: just an You know, incredible effort play for a guy who's,
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: you know, 315, 320 pounds. I mean, those are the
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: plays as a coach that you really appreciate. We knew
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: they were going to take their shots, six to eight
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: shots a game. And it's unfortunate, you know, Bo, you know,
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: I thought one, I could understand P.I. The other one,
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: I thought he played it pretty well. And then he
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: gives up the touchdown late. And I think lesson learned,
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: like we've got to play these games in the SEC
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: until the clock strikes zero. And so I think lesson
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: learned on that front. But through it all, I think
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: SEC teams were seven and one at home last weekend.
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: So there's a pretty tough environment you have to go
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: into and play. We were the one road team that won.
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: And we take a lot of pride in that. They're
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: not always going to be pretty. We've got to find
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: ways to clean up the penalties. It's been now It's
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: 19 penalties in the last two weeks. And we can
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: control a lot of them. Some of them we can't.
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: We can control a lot of them. So, again, we've
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: got to get back to the emphasis as a coaching staff.
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: You guys have heard me say it. If you've heard
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: it once, you've heard it 100 times. You get what
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: you emphasize as a coach. We've got to reemphasize the
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: discipline in which we need to play the game. And, again,
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: I know there's been a lot made of Colin's penalty.
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: There probably could have been a couple more. truthfully. And
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: I was truthful with the team this morning. But that's
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: not who we are as a team. And that behavior
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: is unacceptable. I've met with the team about it. I've
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: met with Colin individually. I've met with Relique individually. And
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: so we'll handle those things internally. We take a lot
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: of pride in the way we play the game. We
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: take a lot of pride in us playing as a team.
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: I think one thing that does get unnoticed on Colin's
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: penalty is how quickly, you know, juice criers right there
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: telling them that's not what we do. And so again,
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: we've got to learn from that. I think Colin will,
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: I don't think any of those actions are indicative of
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: the character of the young men. Um, and I think
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: we'll see that as the season unfolds of who these
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: guys really are. And so we've got to learn from
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: the lesson though. Uh, we can't let the emotions of
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: the game get the betterment of us because we're going
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: to be in other hostile environments as the season goes on,
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: as we all know. Uh, and so we've got to
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: continue to learn from that. So, uh, Again, not indicative
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: of the team that we are or the character of
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: this team or what we're about. And so we'll handle
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: it internally and we'll continue to forge forward. As we
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: move forward, obviously heading into the bye week, I think
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: one thing about our team, and I felt this this
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: morning in the meeting, We've got a team full of
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: players that want to improve, that want to be coached,
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: that want to get better. And it's easy to point
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: to the high-level players, and it's great that those guys
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: want to be coached and they want to get better.
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: But we've got a lot of younger players that want
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: to improve and want to get better, and we're going
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: to need to. We need to continue to develop the
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: depth on this team, whether it's on offense, defense, or
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: on special teams. We need more young guys stepping up
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: that we can count on in those moments. Um, we,
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: we've got to be better at the specialist spot. Um,
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: you know, we, we really, you know, think a ton
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: of punter kicker snapper that was not their best game Saturday.
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: So we got to reinvest in those guys and then
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: we've got to get healthy as a football team. We're
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: a little banged up understandably. So, so there's, there's a
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: lot of moving parts this week of some guys getting healthy,
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: some guys working on their craft, some younger players. Can
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: we find a role for them all the while, uh,
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: you know starting to game plan for for OU here
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: in a couple weeks so a lot to do this
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: week um but again um it's it's been it's been
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: a good start to the season um you know to
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: be 4-0 we got a lot of meat left on
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: our bone as we go we know what's coming after
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: after the bye so we got to get ourselves ready
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: for that and then just as a side note I
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: think you all probably saw the um statement from the
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: SEC regarding the onside kick. So I don't really have
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: much more to say on that. You know, I've addressed
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: it with the Southeastern Conference. I've addressed it with John McDade,
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: the head of our officials. They've addressed the issue. So
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: I don't think there's much more to say on that. Okay.
• 27:42
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: We've already said what we were going to say. We've
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: read the statement as well. So anyway, hopefully there's no
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: other sticky wickets that come up, not only for the
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: players and coaches and fans, but for the officials. That
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: they get that right. And even sometimes, when they understand
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: the rule, they don't get it right. Reference last night
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: in Denver. Said the unhappy Rams fan. Wallace should have
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: been credited with the interception.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Wasn't.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: Terry McCauley said it was not passing. It was OPI
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: with the grabbing of the shoulder pad. I think it
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: should have been a no call. On neither side. They're
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: both fighting for the ball.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: You almost can get a drop for the times that
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: Terry McCauley has said this year. We can throw it
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: on this show. Yeah, guys, that's not a foul.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. He says that a lot.
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: But I was with him last night. I was with you.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: I thought there were two holds right in the open
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: field on Bo Nix's scramble to the pylon.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: Certainly could have called those. I thought the.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: Make-up call was coming for the Rams. It never came.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: I've given up on wondering about holding and non-holding calls.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: Because I do agree with the assessment. Many people say
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: that you could literally call holding on about every play.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: You could. And there were hands to the face on
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: those Tennessee old linemen.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: My goodness.
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: My goodness. Those Texas defensive linemen were getting absolutely ragdolled
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: out there.
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: But they survived. They won it.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: And it's on to the open date week. Getting ready
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: for the bye in the schedule and getting ready for Oklahoma.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: We had a question yesterday. Before we go to break.
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, David Walshack says, Craig, does Texas have to follow
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: the travel rules when they go to Dallas to play OU?
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: That game's, of course, in two weeks. Or can they
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: treat it like it's a home game?
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Well, first of all, they're not the home team. They're
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: the visiting team. On odd number of years, Texas is
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: the visiting. I mean, even number of years, Texas is
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: the visiting team.
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: Thank goodness they're the visiting team this year with this schedule.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're the visiting team.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: And the uh odd numbered years texas is the home
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: team so they're the visiting team uh and yes they
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: do have to follow the conference rules uh conference if
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: it's a conference game you're traveling i think it's 74
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: i think.
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: It's Yeah, that's what Sark said last week.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they get 74 that you can carry. So, yes,
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: they do have to follow the rule on that. But
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: they will be the visiting team when they play in
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: Dallas against Oklahoma. All right, up next, speaking of football,
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: there is a football note, a Bill Belichickian football note
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: as part of Inconceivable.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: That's next on 13 Under the Zone. He's in the shotgun.
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: He's still taking the.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: Ball. He's going to throw the ball.
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: He's going to throw the ball.
• 30:41
  Speaker 10: Deep down the middle of the field, it's caught at
• 30:46
  Speaker 10: the 40.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: Time expires as Reddy Stewart tackles him.
• 30:48
  Speaker 10: The Ravens are hoping that they've got him.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: They want the.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: Second to try a long field goal.
• 30:55
  Speaker 10: Wow.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: I'm saying.
• 30:59
  Speaker 10: Baltimore quarterback number eight called timeout with.
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: One second on.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: The line.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: Oh, my goodness.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: They are going to get a chance.
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: The Michigan, Western Michigan game.
• 31:15
  Speaker 10: Oh, my goodness.
• 31:16
  Speaker 8: 57 yards.
• 31:17
  Speaker 10: 56 yards. The kick's away.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: The kick is up and the kick is good.
• 31:20
  Speaker 10: And the Ravens have stolen the game. That's unbelievable. That
• 31:32
  Speaker 10: is unbelievable.
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: What a dagger.
• 31:38
  Speaker 10: The timeout that no one could see. Tyler Luke, 56 yards,
• 31:44
  Speaker 10: a walk-off, and the Ravens win 34-31.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: Oh, that'll crush you.
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: That'll crush your soul. That will crush your soul.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: Well said.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: Brandon, Babe Laufenberg. There, it would crush your soul. And
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: so from the Department of Things Could Always Be Worse,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: for Longhorn fans, and I've read a lot of comments
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: from a lot of unhappy fans about the Longhorns getting
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: out of Knoxville with a 20-17 win over Tennessee. Things
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: could always be worse. Second hour of the program here
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: on 13 Under the Zone. Craig Way alongside the producer,
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: Jake Herman. That was just, again, A soul-crushing, as Babe
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Laufenberg put it, soul-crushing loss, as heard on 98.1 FM
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: KVET yesterday. So, Cowboys are 1-2 with that loss to
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens. A game where Dallas jumped out in
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: front 10-0. Baltimore came back. They were up by two scores.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: Cowboys came back, took a lead. Baltimore reclaimed the lead.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: Then the Cowboys reclaimed the lead. And then it was
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: tied again. Dallas had a chance late in the game
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: to win it. It had to settle for a field goal.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: And with seven seconds to go, you thought that time
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: would run out.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: Long pass downfield. And it.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: Was ruled that time was called with one second. Lamar
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: Jackson was able to get the attention. The officials called
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: time with one second left.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: Tyler Luke.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: From Lovejoy, Texas, from Lucas, Texas, was a Lovejoy Leopard.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: Knocks home the game-winning 54-yard field goal. Baltimore wins it
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: by a score of 34-31. Some gut-wrenching defeat. So, with
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: that in mind, here's Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer with
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: his thoughts on the loss.
• 33:40
  Speaker 11: You know, bottom line is we need to keep that
• 33:42
  Speaker 11: ball in front of us. But at the end of
• 33:45
  Speaker 11: the day, really just... Feel bad for the guys. You know,
• 33:49
  Speaker 11: we played hard. We fought back. Long trip. Had our
• 33:52
  Speaker 11: chances to win. And unfortunately, we didn't get it done.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: Long trip indeed down to Rio is where that game
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: was played. He was also asked about his thought process
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: of how those final 30 seconds transpired.
• 34:02
  Speaker 11: Yeah, we thought we were going to score a touchdown.
• 34:04
  Speaker 11: You know, we thought we were going to score the touchdown.
• 34:07
  Speaker 11: And we moved the ball really well down there. We
• 34:09
  Speaker 11: got to find a way to punch it in. I
• 34:11
  Speaker 11: got to call some better plays to get it in.
• 34:14
  Speaker 11: And then, you know, of course... You know, when it
• 34:16
  Speaker 11: became fourth down, we had to take the points. But
• 34:21
  Speaker 11: so proud of this team, this group, young men. They
• 34:24
  Speaker 11: laid it all on the line. I mean, I know
• 34:26
  Speaker 11: we got beat to hell. I don't have all the
• 34:27
  Speaker 11: injury reports. You guys can ask me about that. But,
• 34:30
  Speaker 11: you know, we got beat up pretty good. And next
• 34:33
  Speaker 11: man up was real tonight.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: There were a couple of late zone throws to George
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: Pickens that just the communication seemed to be off. And
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: so he was asked, what was the disconnect on those
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: two late throws? Again, we called a quick out. I'd
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: probably overcoach Dak on that one, you know, because we
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: had the points. And I'd probably overcoach him on that
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: because it had to go to, with the time, no timeouts,
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: it had to go to GP or throw it away.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: Yes, he was throwing it away.
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 34:57
  Speaker 11: And again, that's on me. I overcoached him.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: Okay. All right.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: They didn't score early, but then made some offensive adjustments
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: that helped turn.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: The game around.
• 35:06
  Speaker 11: Yeah, we stuck with the plan down there, Clarence. You know,
• 35:09
  Speaker 11: I mean, we really liked the movement play to Dak's left.
• 35:13
  Speaker 11: They actually lined up wrong. When you look at the defense,
• 35:15
  Speaker 11: they lined up wrong. I wish I would have had
• 35:16
  Speaker 11: a run on there because it would have walked in. But,
• 35:20
  Speaker 11: you know, that was the plan. We wanted to get
• 35:22
  Speaker 11: down there. They played a real heavy front. You know,
• 35:24
  Speaker 11: they put in six big guys along the edge, and
• 35:26
  Speaker 11: we liked some of the matchups that we had on
• 35:28
  Speaker 11: the outside with our guys. And, you know, again, at
• 35:31
  Speaker 11: the end of the day, you know, didn't make enough
• 35:34
  Speaker 11: plays to win as a football team.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: Was there something different that the defense could have done lately? Remember,
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: they had a couple of fourth down stops, including one
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: at the goal line, really big. But in that last sequence,
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: when Baltimore was able to come up and get the
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: big throw downfield and set up the game winning field
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: goal try.
• 35:57
  Speaker 11: No, I like the call. We wanted to stay sticky.
• 35:59
  Speaker 11: But at the end of the day, you know, they
• 36:00
  Speaker 11: ran two ends. We have actually– this is a play
• 36:03
  Speaker 11: we run quite a bit of, and the bottom line
• 36:05
  Speaker 11: is you've got to make the ball go to the
• 36:06
  Speaker 11: first one, not the layer that they hit to Zay Flowers.
• 36:11
  Speaker 11: And so that's where we have to be better. But
• 36:14
  Speaker 11: I was good with the call. We just got to
• 36:15
  Speaker 11: execute in those situations. And I think if that's the case,
• 36:19
  Speaker 11: we're going to overtime.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: All right, and then finally one more this hour from Shadi.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: Shadi asked about what did he say to the team
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: after suffering a defeat like that?
• 36:29
  Speaker 11: I was very honest with him. You know, I told them,
• 36:32
  Speaker 11: you know, this one hurts. And I was sorry. I
• 36:35
  Speaker 11: was sorry that we didn't find a way to win.
• 36:36
  Speaker 11: I was proud of them, how hard they played, how
• 36:41
  Speaker 11: many guys had to step up and make plays and
• 36:44
  Speaker 11: move in and whatnot. It was back and forth. It
• 36:47
  Speaker 11: was a hell of a football game if you didn't
• 36:48
  Speaker 11: care who won. But I told them I was proud
• 36:51
  Speaker 11: of them, but I also told them that it's supposed
• 36:52
  Speaker 11: to hurt. You know, we have to find a way
• 36:55
  Speaker 11: to win football games. And came up a couple points short.
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: Same thing with the Texans. Couple points short. They had
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: a 17-16 lead late. The kickoff, however, sailed into the
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: end zone on the fly for a touchback, which brought
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: it out to the 35. And then they were able
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: to get the ball downfield in time for a game-winning
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: field goal. And so D'Amico Ryan's looking at the 19-17
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: defeat and seeing his team at 0-3.
• 37:20
  Speaker 12: Yeah, for us, it's 0-3 start. As a team, wherever
• 37:24
  Speaker 12: we are, it all starts with me. So right now,
• 37:27
  Speaker 12: it's not good enough from our perspective, but I like
• 37:30
  Speaker 12: the way our week went. Our process went well this week.
• 37:34
  Speaker 11: Our guys connected.
• 37:35
  Speaker 12: Our guys brought the joyful intensity that I was asking
• 37:38
  Speaker 12: them to bring throughout the week and also today on
• 37:41
  Speaker 12: game day. We came up short today, and I got
• 37:44
  Speaker 12: to get back to the drawing board, and I got
• 37:46
  Speaker 12: to do a better job.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: Next, he was asked about trying to draw on last
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: year's experience.
• 37:54
  Speaker 12: Remember, they had the slow start last year. 0-3 is
• 37:56
  Speaker 12: where we are right now. So the only way we
• 37:58
  Speaker 12: can do anything about it is go through it. We're
• 38:02
  Speaker 12: going through it right now. It's adversity.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: It happens.
• 38:05
  Speaker 12: And for me, it starts with me. So I've got
• 38:08
  Speaker 12: to do a better job getting our guys ready to roll.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: And D'Amico's a defensive guy, so how does his defense
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: force more takeaways?
• 38:14
  Speaker 12: Defense did a great job of taking the football away.
• 38:17
  Speaker 12: That's what we have been missing, some turnovers. So we
• 38:19
  Speaker 12: were able to take the ball away three times, saw
• 38:21
  Speaker 12: the D-line play well. At times, they did a good
• 38:25
  Speaker 12: job of what we asked them to do.
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: That's where it is on that. And so the Cowboys
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: take the loss to the Ravens and then have to
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: come home after playing down in Rio, long flight back,
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: and they have to come back home, do the Cowboys,
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: turn it around.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: And guess who they play next? The Houston Texans. Big one.
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: Been circled for a while. And I tell you what,
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: you don't want to see the Texans next week, I
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: don't think. Again, I'm really surprised they're 0-3. They've been really,
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: really disappointing on offense. But that is not who you
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: want to see if you're the Dallas Cowboys. Coming home
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: and having to deal with that team in that building.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: Think about this. The Texans are really struggling on offense.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: The Cowboys had a couple of nice stops on defense,
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: but still struggling on defense.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: So you know what we got. We have the stoppable
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: force against the movable object. That's right. Next week.
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: That's right. We've got, we've got CJ Stroud and a
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: wide receiver room the way it's banged up right now.
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: I mean, they've got guys out there. I know they're,
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: I know they're doing their best, but those guys aren't
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: starting on a lot of NFL teams.
• 39:43
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: Against the secondary for the Cowboys.
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: They're almost out of bodies.
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: That literally are going to have to bring guys off
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: the practice squads.
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: It's a tough deal for them there. But they do
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: play at noon. And you'll hear that on Sunday. All right.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: Coming up, we'll shift back to college. We have some
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: college football notes. We'll hear more from Longhorns head coach
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: Steve Sarkeesian when we continue on a Longhorns Monday. here
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: on Sports Radio AM 13 under the zone on the
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app.
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: I would not.
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: Say that Duran Duran was one of my favorite bands,
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: but they were there in my wheelhouse in the 80s
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: when I was in school. But I would say this.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: This is probably my favorite Duran Duran song. I know
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: a lot of people like Hungry Like the Wolf or,
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: you know, some other ones. But Beautiful Kill, you know,
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: things like that. But Rio is probably like that one.
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: A friend of mine saw Duran Duran when they were
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: at Austin City Limits Music Festival a few years ago.
• 40:43
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: Said they played Hungry Like the Wolf three times. Three times.
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: Once at the beginning, once at the end. And I
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: guess they had some.
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: Time left over.
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: He said, do you want to hear it one more time?
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: Kind of said, yes!
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: That's when you run out of your catalog is what
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: happens there with that.
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: Obviously, the Cowboys lose in Rio.
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: Longhorns win in Knoxville because Knoxville and Rio are exactly alike,
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: as you know. Anyway, and Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkeesian
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: from his weekly news conference heard a little bit last hour.
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: Here's some more.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: Question about protections from the offensive line and the timing
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: of this. the protection calls. After all, Arch Manning was
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: sacked six times. Does it fall on the center, Connor Robertson?
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: Does it fall on the O-line overall? Does it fall
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: on Arch? Those questions put to SART.
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: Clearly it wasn't good enough Saturday, right? It's a combination
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: of things. Some of them are the quarterback, some of
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: them the center. Some of them are the other guys
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: executing what they're told to do. And so it was
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: a combination of things. It clearly was not good enough Saturday.
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 41:50
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: He was asked about the you know, the, the, and
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: we heard it last hour and I'm talking about addressing
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: the unsportsmanlike penalties and, uh, the one for Colin Simmons and, and, uh,
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: other penalties as well. And also didn't like the, the gesture, uh,
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: that really Brown did after, after he had scored.
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: Um, and so he said he had spoken.
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: To them individually and that it has to be a
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: stepping up and that teammates have to hold them accountable.
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: He said, that's why he liked that.
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: Justin Cryer was over there immediately talking to Colin when
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: the flag was coming out, saying that's.
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: Not how we do it. We don't do that. But
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: he drew the flag anyway.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: And so he was asked, it was our friend Cedric
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: Olin from the Austin American Statesman, is there a concern
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: level when it's upperclassmen committing these types of penalties, guys
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: who you would think would definitely know better?
• 42:46
  Speaker 4: I agree with that. You know, again, I think there's
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: a fine line. And I know what I said Saturday,
• 42:55
  Speaker 4: and I'm not doubling back on that, but I think
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: it's important to know, like, turn on every NFL game,
• 43:03
  Speaker 4: you know, and what they now tolerate from a celebration standpoint.
• 43:08
  Speaker 4: The rules have become more lenient in college football of
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: what guys are allowed to do. You know, it wasn't
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: very long ago where college players couldn't do anything and
• 43:16
  Speaker 4: the flag was out. The rules have become more lenient.
• 43:19
  Speaker 4: We have got to do a better job of celebrating
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: with one another. I don't want to take our stinger.
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: I don't want to take away the excitement of the game.
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: But the moment you start to demean an opponent, the
• 43:32
  Speaker 4: flags are going to come out. And I think that's the,
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: you can call it a fine line, but it's really
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: not very fine. It's pretty clear. But understanding that of
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: what is acceptable and what is not, what is acceptable
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: from a rules perspective, what is acceptable from a program
• 43:50
  Speaker 4: perspective of what we stand for, what we're about. If
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: you just put all that energy into your teammates, you
• 43:57
  Speaker 4: almost can do just about what you want outside of
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: it not being an orchestrated dance together or something like that.
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: So my concern level is one that I think I've
• 44:08
  Speaker 4: got a team full of guys that take the messaging
• 44:13
  Speaker 4: pretty well. I mean, when I'm emphatic about something, when
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: I'm very clear on something, I think they take that
• 44:18
  Speaker 4: messaging and I think it starts with our upperclassmen. So
• 44:23
  Speaker 4: I'm not concerned that they're not going to understand the message. But, again,
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: emotions can run high. So I've got to make sure
• 44:31
  Speaker 4: that we continue to reinforce it. It can't be a
• 44:33
  Speaker 4: one-time message in a team meeting or at the locker
• 44:36
  Speaker 4: room at halftime of the game and then in a
• 44:37
  Speaker 4: team meeting today and think it's just going to be okay.
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: I've got to reinforce it as we work our way
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: throughout the season.
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: Next, asked for an update on Hollywood Smothers, who had
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: been upgraded– from questionable to probable, but ended up not playing.
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: He was an emergency for us Saturday. I felt like
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: he probably could have gone. But again, what Relique had
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: done in practice and Derek getting himself back, if I
• 45:04
  Speaker 4: could have gotten out of that game with him not
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: re-injuring himself, I think it would behoove us for the
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: remainder of the season. And so we were able to
• 45:14
  Speaker 4: do that. I think he'll be fine in a couple
• 45:17
  Speaker 4: weeks when we play OU.
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: Linda texted me right after that. She was listening to
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: the line. She goes, I like his use of the
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: word behoove. He used behoove there. It does behoove them
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: to do that right. Okay, which gets it back to
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: accountability as well and how team leadership steps in to
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: help in the form of taking accountability for mistakes, not
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: just the unsportsmanlike, conduct calls uh but other penalties and
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: then just other shortcomings for the team you.
• 45:45
  Speaker 4: Talk a lot about accountability and you know accountability is
• 45:49
  Speaker 4: taking responsibility for your own actions and um i think
• 45:53
  Speaker 4: that's that's that's a great trait to have as a
• 45:57
  Speaker 4: man and and and as we go into you know
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: from teenagers into manhood of what does that look like
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: and take them or take any, you know, have an accountability,
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: take them responsibility for own actions. None of us are perfect.
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: We all, we all make mistakes at varying degrees. Some
• 46:15
  Speaker 4: of our mistakes are in the spotlight of millions of people. Um,
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: that doesn't mean that we still don't have to take
• 46:20
  Speaker 4: responsibility for our actions. And so, um, we do talk
• 46:24
  Speaker 4: about that a lot and that's a lot of what
• 46:25
  Speaker 4: we do in the off season, but it doesn't, again,
• 46:28
  Speaker 4: it doesn't go away once the season begins and, So again,
• 46:32
  Speaker 4: I think that our guys do do that. I think
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: to some degree, sometimes they take too much ownership, too
• 46:39
  Speaker 4: much responsibility when some others need to do their part too.
• 46:43
  Speaker 4: But in the end, you know, I do think it's
• 46:45
  Speaker 4: something that we touch on. We as coaches try to
• 46:48
  Speaker 4: model that to the best of our ability as well.
• 46:53
  Speaker 4: But again, we're not perfect and, and show me, show
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: me somebody who's perfect and, and There's been one of
• 47:00
  Speaker 4: us on this planet that's been able to be perfect. But, again,
• 47:04
  Speaker 4: taking responsibility for actions, being accountable for actions, I think
• 47:08
  Speaker 4: is a great trait to have.
• 47:09
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: He was next asked about this balance thing.
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of groaning and moaning about how the team,
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: you know, had this mistake and that mistake and these
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: problems and these problems.
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: And they're 4-0.
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: And they beat the number one team in the country
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: at the time, and they got a road win in
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: conference play against the number 14 team, and there's certainly
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: no apologies for doing any of those things. It doesn't
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: mean they've been clean and clear, and Sark has been
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: perfectly clear about that, that they've got a lot to do.
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: So how does he and the coaching staff and the
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: message to the players balance out the fact that they
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: are 4-0 with what still needs to be done to improve?
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: Somebody in here asked me a question yesterday, maybe before
• 47:52
  Speaker 4: the season about, um, do I visit with NFL head
• 47:57
  Speaker 4: coaches and do I, you know, what, what does that
• 47:59
  Speaker 4: look like with you? You know, how do you plan
• 48:02
  Speaker 4: for a long season, things of that nature. And, you know,
• 48:05
  Speaker 4: I remember answering that, talking to Andy Reed, right. Talking
• 48:08
  Speaker 4: to Bill Belichick, talking to Kyle Shanahan, talking to Sean
• 48:11
  Speaker 4: McVay about, How do you be at your best in November, December,
• 48:17
  Speaker 4: and January? And this idea that we're not a finished
• 48:21
  Speaker 4: product in September. But that doesn't mean we don't want
• 48:25
  Speaker 4: to win every game, right? But the idea that we're improving,
• 48:29
  Speaker 4: that we're getting better, and maybe we're finding the right
• 48:31
  Speaker 4: mix of players or schematically what are we doing or
• 48:35
  Speaker 4: individual players developing at their craft. So we want to win,
• 48:40
  Speaker 4: but yet we also want to be on this trajectory
• 48:43
  Speaker 4: as the season goes on that, man, we're at our
• 48:45
  Speaker 4: best November, December when we're obviously going to need to be.
• 48:50
  Speaker 4: Our schedule is a little bit unique where it feels
• 48:52
  Speaker 4: like every week it's... We're playing a top 20 opponent,
• 48:56
  Speaker 4: and we need to kind of be at our best
• 48:58
  Speaker 4: every time that we go. But this idea that, man,
• 49:01
  Speaker 4: it's great being 4-0, and we're finding a way to
• 49:03
  Speaker 4: win a couple tough games. But also, I know our
• 49:07
  Speaker 4: best is out there, and I know that we've got
• 49:09
  Speaker 4: a lot to strive for in all three phases. Schematically,
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: we've got a lot to strive for from a depth standpoint,
• 49:16
  Speaker 4: and individual players can improve, and they will improve as
• 49:19
  Speaker 4: long as they're coachable and as as long as we
• 49:22
  Speaker 4: emphasize the right things for them to improve.
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: Upon understand this uh at at a monday news conference
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: you do have like representatives of the local I don't
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: want to say legitimate because it's all legitimate, but the
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: local traditional was the word I was looking for. Traditional media,
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: meaning Austin American Statesman, meaning the local TVs, the local radios.
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: And then you also have the fan sites who were there,
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: those reporters who were there as well. And a lot
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: of what the fan sites lean into is the impact
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: on and cause effect of wins and losses on recruiting.
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: because they're always looking ahead to the recruiting side of things.
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: So with this being an open date on the schedule,
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: with it being a bi-week, Sark was asked, is there
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: a renewed recruiting emphasis this week for his staff?
• 50:15
  Speaker 4: I think it is. That's a great point because recruiting,
• 50:18
  Speaker 4: you know, where your days are and how many days
• 50:21
  Speaker 4: you have in the fall have been limited. Um, and
• 50:24
  Speaker 4: so maximizing those days, I think are very important. Um,
• 50:29
  Speaker 4: You know, I know like for me, I need to
• 50:31
  Speaker 4: do a really good job in Dallas and in Houston
• 50:34
  Speaker 4: this week, as well as seeing a couple of our
• 50:36
  Speaker 4: national guys. The senior recruiting is not done. You know, there's,
• 50:42
  Speaker 4: you know, back in the day, this is when guys
• 50:44
  Speaker 4: used to get recruited. This is when they actually evaluated
• 50:47
  Speaker 4: them their senior year and You can see the development
• 50:50
  Speaker 4: of a player from his junior year to his senior year,
• 50:52
  Speaker 4: and then you visit him in January or December and January,
• 50:56
  Speaker 4: and you sign him in February. We've sped this whole
• 50:58
  Speaker 4: thing up, but players haven't stopped improving from their junior
• 51:02
  Speaker 4: year to the senior year. So we're constantly evaluating this
• 51:06
  Speaker 4: class of where we can upgrade the class and where
• 51:09
  Speaker 4: we can find those players that have made that jump.
• 51:11
  Speaker 4: to go along with next year's class and seeing those
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: guys in person. So we've got a lot of work
• 51:17
  Speaker 4: to do this week, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday of, of seeing players.
• 51:21
  Speaker 4: And it's not just me. It's the, it's the assistant coaches.
• 51:24
  Speaker 4: It's the recruiting department of, of getting all that done. So,
• 51:27
  Speaker 4: but it is to your point with only one weekend
• 51:29
  Speaker 4: to do it, man, we we've got to be, we've
• 51:31
  Speaker 4: got to be spot on.
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: So there it is from a Longhorns head coach, Steve Sarkeesian.
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: We'll hear more from Sark coming up next hour. Coming
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: up next, some college football notes, renewed rankings, renewed projections,
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: renewed power ratings, all that other.
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: Kind of stuff. We'll get you up to date on
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: all of that when we continue here.
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: On a Longhorns Monday on Sports Radio AM 13 Under
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: the Zone and the iHeartRadio app. Here on a Longhorns
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: Monday on Sports Radio AM 13 Under the Zone. I'm
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: curious as to your reasoning for this particular selection.
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: Well, Craig, of course, as a North Carolina born and
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: raised native yourself, you got to Texas as quickly as
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: you could, of course. Yep. It is National North Carolina Day.
• 52:24
  Speaker 13: It is?
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: According to the National Day calendar by my good friends
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: in Mandan.
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: And Randy Travis coming from Marshfield, North Carolina.
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: Marshfield, by the way, west east of Charlotte.
• 52:37
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: On U.S.
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: 74, kind of between Wadesboro and Rockingham, I believe. Yeah,
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: it's a small place, Marshville. I did not know that,
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: that it was National North Carolina. It's weird. Do they
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: have a day like that for every state in the
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: United States? You know, I've seen a few others. I've
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: seen a few others. I didn't bring up National.
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: I wonder what day is National Texas Day. Would it
• 53:03
  Speaker 3: not be Texas Independence Day?
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: Well, it might be. March 2nd, maybe.
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: I would say that there are a lot of, you know,
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: Texas fans who would say every day is National Texas Day.
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: February 1st, according to the National Day calendar.
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: All right. So there you are. I didn't forget about this.
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: I just didn't have time to do it. Inconceivable.
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: But I had teased it. And so, as they say
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: in the radio biz, it's important to pay off the tease.
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, that Bill Belichick, the one who's the coach
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: of the North Carolina Tar Heels since this is National
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: North Carolina Day.
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: Through his attorneys, David L. Fine and Peter J.
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: Hamilton is demanding a jury trial and filed a third-party
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: complaint against Levesque Builders, a local contractor, as part of
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: his response to a lawsuit filed in April by Island Painter.
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: By the way, this is taking place in Nantucket Island
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: off the coast of Massachusetts. There's a painter who lives
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: there named Andrew Jackson.
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: That's his name.
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: Former New England Patriots head coach and current North Carolina
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: coach Bill Belichick states in the complaint that Levesque Builders
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: was responsible for ensuring all work done at his property
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: was completed safely. The lawsuit from Jackson was filed on
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: April 2nd, seeking nearly $ 300, 000 after he allegedly slipped and
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: fell from working at 45 Fair Street, which is owned
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: and managed by Belichick's Under 45 Fair Street LLC. Jackson
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: said he fell as a result of unsafe conditions on
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: the property. He describes as the placement, use, and or
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: maintenance of plastic sheeting or coverings and other unsafe site
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: conditions in the work area. So, according to Belichick's camp
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: and his third-party complaint, they believe, regardless of whether the
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: man was injured or not, Belichick should not be on
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: the hook for any of the damages granted. In the complaint,
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: Belichick's camp reiterates that Levesque Builders was hired to oversee
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: all work done on the property, and that Levesque was
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: the entity who hired Jackson as a subcontractor in the
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: first place, thus making Levesque Builders the ones liable for
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: paying post, if not if not all of the damages
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: awarded in court.
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: Better program builder than structure builder, apparently.
• 55:33
  Speaker 8: I guess.
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: Might be something like that.
• 55:35
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: Wanted to get to college football stuff. First of all,
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: the new top 25 rankings came out yesterday. Longhorn's still
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: number one in both polls. In fact, the top four
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: are identical both in the AP and the coaches poll. Texas, Georgia,
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame, Miami. And it's not even close. A lot
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: of people thought Longwood might drop out of the one
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: spot or might be close. Really wasn't close. A lead
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: of almost 100 points over Georgia. They got 62 first
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: place votes. Georgia got six. Miami got one. Indiana got one.
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: Georgia's number two. Notre Dame three. Miami four. That's in
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: both polls. In the coaches, in the AP, Ohio State
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: is five and Indiana is six. Other way around in
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: the coaches. Indiana five. Ohio State six. Alabama seven in
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: both rankings. Florida eight. Ole Miss 9 in the AP,
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: BYU 10. BYU 9 in the coaches, Texas Tech is 10.
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: LSU is 11 in both rankings, Tech is 12 in
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: the AP, Ole Miss 12 in the coaches. Both polls
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: have Utah 13, Iowa 14, Oregon 15, Mississippi State up
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: to number 16 in the AP and popping into the
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: poll for the first time. The coaches also at number 16.
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: Tennessee dropped three spots. to number 17. There's 17 in
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: both sets of rankings. UCLA number 18 in both polls.
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma State is in the top 25. Remember what everybody
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: was saying about them after they lost to Tulsa in
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: week one? That's what a win over Oregon will get you,
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: and then they turn around and have won.
• 57:10
  Speaker 3: Two more games. Yeah, it's going to be really interesting
• 57:13
  Speaker 3: in a few, well, not a few months, but a
• 57:16
  Speaker 3: few weeks, if they are still a one or a
• 57:18
  Speaker 3: two loss team, because that resume... is going to have
• 57:20
  Speaker 3: some really good wins and that really bad loss.
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma State is 19 in the AP, SMU 19 in
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: the coaches. Houston, number 20 in both polls. SMU 21
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: in the AP. Duke, number 21 in the coaches. Boise State,
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: number 22 in the AP. Penn State, 22.
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: In the coaches.
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: UCLA, number 23 in both. Kentucky, number 24 in the AP. Michigan,
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: still in the rankings. They're number 24 in the coaches,
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: Missouri number 25 in the AP and in the coaches. Yes,
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: Michigan is still in the rankings, despite what happened at
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: the end of their matchup with Iowa. This is, of course,
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: Iowa Hawkeyes had their radio network call. Michigan had its
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: radio network call. My friend Brett Dolan was calling the
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: game for touchdown radio, national broadcast.
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: And then you have the Iowa students as well. Give
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: this a listen.
• 58:20
  Speaker 14: This is it, Hank Brown. A defining Iowa moment. Weights
• 58:26
  Speaker 14: in the wings. Can he snatch it? Empty in the backfield.
• 58:34
  Speaker 14: It's his back foot. Throws to the end zone.
• 58:36
  Speaker 15: Back shoulder.
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: Is he caught?
• 58:38
  Speaker 4: Is he caught? Oh, my God.
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 58:40
  Speaker 4: He caught it. Oh, my God.
• 58:42
  Speaker 13: He caught it.
• 58:43
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 58:43
  Speaker 4: Western Michigan and the college football world. Iowa has your back.
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: Iowa has your back. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
• 58:53
  Speaker 16: They've won the football game. There's no storm in the
• 58:56
  Speaker 16: field tonight. Iowa's lost the football game. That is an
• 59:02
  Speaker 16: Iowa offense improved. Something you wouldn't see in years past.
• 59:05
  Speaker 16: And they found a way.
• 59:07
  Speaker 2: An answer. They turn it upside down.
• 59:09
  Speaker 3: They make the.
• 59:09
  Speaker 4: Big house feel small.
• 59:12
  Speaker 3: A lot of one-liners in there.
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, student exuberance there. Iowa has your back. So there
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: it is. Hawkeyes.
• 59:19
  Speaker 3: That's a good t-shirt right there.
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that was a bizarre deal too. You know,
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: most of the national.
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: pundits. Roger and I, like I.
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: Said, we were grabbing a meal after the game in
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: a place, and we saw it happen, but it was
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: like looking across the restaurant at a monitor.
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: Did he catch that? He caught that.
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: Okay, they're reviewing that. They won. We didn't know about all.
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: The other stuff that led up to it, that Michigan
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: Should have been able to get out.
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: There was a couple of penalties. There was a guy that.
• 59:52
  Speaker 3: Couldn't get off the field to an injured player.
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: That was the last one. There was an interception should
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: have been made. And then an injured player. Otherwise, I
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: would not have been able to stop the clock and
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: would not have been able to get another play.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 3: It was it was as Gus Johnson says, John Henry Daly.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So it was something else. So anyway, Iowa hosting
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: Ohio State this week. Is that where game day is?
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: Despite the fact it's a CBS telecast?
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 3: I think so.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: They sometimes go where CBS or Fox is.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 4: Correct.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 3: Iowa City. They were taking flack for this, but game
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 3: day went five times, I think, last year to games
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 3: they were not televised.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: So they're doing it this week. I would venture to guess.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: That if Alabama and Georgia both win this week, they'll
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: be in Tuscaloosa next week. They will not be in
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: Dallas next week. For the Red River rivalry, that's because
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: of Oklahoma's shortcomings, not Texas. But I would say they're
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: going to be in Tuscaloosa if both Alabama and Georgia
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: win this week.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 15: Boy.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: Then they might be in Bloomington for Indiana-Ohio State the
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: following week.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 3: And then the following week, there's like seven places they
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 3: could be.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 3: On October 17th.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. Well, that's what I was talking about on
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 2: the 17th. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 2: On the 17th, I could see them being in Bloomington
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: for that.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 4: There are.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 3: So many good games on October 17th.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: Any other top five versus top five matchups other than Indiana,
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: Ohio State?
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 3: Those are the safest bets, I think, to stay there
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 3: just based on who they play. Right now, you've got
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 3: one Texas versus eight Florida. Seven Alabama versus 17 Tennessee.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 3: Three Notre Dame against 10 BYU. 16-11 in Mississippi State, LSU.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 3: They might move up or down. Missouri Ole Miss. There's
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 3: a lot happening.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they've already been to Austin once, so they probably
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: wouldn't come back for Florida on that. If they go
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: to Tuscaloosa for Alabama-Georgia, they probably wouldn't go turn back
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: around for Alabama in a road environment the next week.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm thinking.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: Now, even though Ohio State was on the road for
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: the Texas game, and even though they're on the road
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: again this week, it'll be interesting to see how that goes.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 3: On that floor is probably going to be undefeated coming
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 3: in here.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: Good, good, good chance.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 3: Missouri, South Carolina. That's, that's, that's who's left on their
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 3: schedule before they come to Austin.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: I think, I think they're probably in good shape to
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: do that. Um, okay.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: When we come back, uh, we'll get you ready toward
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: the top of the hour and I will update you on.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: Uh, some of these projections next on 13 under the zone.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: Um, just to let you know that we do this
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: every week. The, uh, Updated playoff and bowl projections. The
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: two guys who do it is Kyle Bonagura and Mark

• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: five overall national seed. Schleybaugh's Texas is the number one
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: national seed. So Bonagura has Texas in a five versus

• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: And Schleybaugh has Indiana's the five against Boise, the 12.

  Speaker 1: the six versus the 11 Ole Miss. Both have Alabama's
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: the seven. Bonagura against 10 seed Utah. Schleybaugh against 10
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: seed Iowa. And the 8-9 matchup, BYU the eight, Florida

• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: BYU the nine, according to Schleybaugh.

• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: according to Bonagura. Alabama, the seven-seed against the two-seed Georgia.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: according to Schleyball. And the other quarterfinal, eight, BYU against one, Georgia.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: And Schleyball has Florida the eight against Texas, the number
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: one in that. Then in the semifinals, Orange Bowl, Bonagura
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: has two seed Notre Dame against three seed Indiana.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: Schleyball has four versus eight, Miami against Florida.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: Sugar Bowl, Bonagura has one seed Georgia against four seed Miami.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: Schleybaugh has the two-seed Georgia against the six Ohio State.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: So they both have Texas out before the semifinals. And
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: in the national championship, Bonagura has Georgia one versus Notre
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: Dame two. Schleybaugh has Georgia the two versus the four-seed Miami.

• 1:04:48
  Speaker 2: the five seed against the four.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: Miami play ball as Texas as the one seed getting
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: knocked out by Florida in the semifinal.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: Would be a rematch. Yeah, it would be. All right.

• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: on to the next SEC game. After an open date
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: week on the schedule this week for the Longhorns, we
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: welcome you back here for the final hour of the
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: program here on 13 Under the Zone. Craig Way alongside
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: the producer, Jake Kerman, who put together that highlight montage
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: of the Texas win in Knoxville, Tennessee on Saturday over
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: the Tennessee Volunteers. Before we jump to the NFL, which
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: we're going to here momentarily... I mentioned that there were
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: playoff projections. Also, there are new power rankings in addition
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: to the poll rankings coming out.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 2: Now, again, I got an indication today on.
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: My Starbucks app that says if I try these four
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: delicious things, any bakery item, any iced shaken espresso.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 2: My wife likes those, so there's no problem there. Any ice,
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: is it matcha?
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 11: Yep.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 2: Latte. Never had one of those. Any good?
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 3: It kind of tastes like grass. It's not my thing.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: And then any ice macchiato, which if I do those things,
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: I get like 75 bonus stars. The problem is that
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: other than the bakery item, they're all about $ 7. 50 a piece.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: So these power rankings in $ 7. 50 will get you one
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: of those beverages at Starbucks.
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 3: I was wondering how that was going to all come back.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 2: You know me. I go around the garage to get
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 2: to the barn.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: But that was a way to bring all this back
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: to the fore because all of these rankings really don't
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: mean an awful lot until we get to the college
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: football playoff rankings.
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 2: Now, we had playoff projections. done.
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: But again, it's merely projections and rankings. But nevertheless, Heather Dennett,
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: who covers it very extensively for ESPN, issued power rankings.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: And this is what these power rankings would show, going
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: from 25 down to one. Number 25 is SMU, 24
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: Penn State, 23 Houston, 22 Duke, number 21 Boise State,
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: They look like the best G6 team so far. Oklahoma
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: State at 20.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: I was talking about that. It hadn't even been ranked.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: She goes, after their slow start and 24-10 loss at
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: Tulsa in the season, Oklahoma State has flipped the switch
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: and is playing like the squad everyone expected to see
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: under first-year head coach Eric Morris. The Cowboys kicked off
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: Big 12 play Saturday night with a dominant Second half
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: for a 41-24 win in West Virginia. Drew Mestemaker, there
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: he is, the Vandegrift product, threw for 389 yards and
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: three touchdowns. And he received plenty of help from Wyatt
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: Young and Caleb Hawkins.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 2: They're all North Texas transfers.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: The Pokes averaged almost 11 yards per play on offense
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: after halftime and got three key fourth-down stops on defense
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: to pull away.
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 2: They continue to look like a team that will contend
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 2: in the Big 12 title race.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they look legit.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: Number 19 is USC, dropping eight spots after that home
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: loss to Oregon.
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 3: Number 18... Did you happen to see the hit on Dante.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 2: Moore, Craig? Oh, yeah. Well, I saw it at halftime.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 2: I didn't see it in real time.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 3: Have you ever called the hit that big in real time?
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 2: I think so. I think I have a couple of times.
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 5: Scary, huh?
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is.
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: No doubt. I remember Drew Kelson really just launching... Joel
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: clad into the sun in the 2005 big 12 championship game, uh,
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: for that. Um, so yeah, it's scary. And, and by
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: the way, he's been suspended for a game, uh, because
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: of that by USC, uh, UCLA is 18. Tennessee fell
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: three spots to 17 after the loss to Texas. Um,
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: number 16, Texas tech, I dropped them three spots. You know,
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: they were kind of, they were kind of being, uh,
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: you know, given a gain for a while by Sam Houston.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 2: It was 21-14.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: Now, Will Hammond, the Hutto product, threw three interceptions in
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: the game. But they stuck through it and blew them
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: out in the second half. Iowa, number 15, after that
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: heart-stopping finish, that win over Michigan on the road. Oregon,
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: up four spots to 14. Mississippi State, Up eight spots
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: to number 13. We saw that coming.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 3: Mississippi State ahead of Oregon as we turn the calendar
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 3: to October.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: Well, we're going to hear somebody ask Sark that question
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: about if he saw Mississippi State in Florida going. Utah 12,
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: LSU 11, BYU 10. Ole Miss dropping seven spots from
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: two to nine after losing in Florida. Alabama eight, Florida seven.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: Indiana number six, Ohio State five. Miami four, Notre Dame three,
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: Georgia number two, Texas still number one. Her write-up is
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: the Longhorns sometimes look sloppy, but you know what's pristine?
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: Their resume, which includes wins over number five Ohio State
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: at home and at number 17 Tennessee. Inside a deafening
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: Neyland Stadium, Texas didn't get a ton of production out
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: of its offense. Quarterback Manning was up and down, and
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: the running game missed Hollywood Smothers playmaking. longest run was
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: 11 yards by Manning, but the defense stepped up in
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: a big way with 10 sacks and only 1.6 yards
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: per rush allowed. The bye week comes at a great
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: time for Steve Sarkeesian's squad as he gets a breather
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: after a fast start to the season and a chance
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: to reset heading into a rivalry game with Oklahoma. So
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: those are updated power rankings. So it's just kind of
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: to reset for you and let you know, you know,
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: what the poll rankings say, what the playoff projections look like,
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: what the power rankings are, all that kind of stuff. Now, again,
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: All that and $ 7. 50 will get you a matcha at Starbucks, right?
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 3: I had a friend who happens to like matcha who
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 3: was wondering, Craig, and you might weigh in on this,
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 3: when's the last time you felt like Texas at any
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 3: point in recent memory has been this far ahead of
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 3: Texas A & M and Oklahoma on lists like this,
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 3: this early?
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 2: Both of them?
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 3: Right, at the same time. That's the key.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 2: That's kind of hard to say, both of them.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 3: Feels like it's been a long time, though.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly. I have to think about that. Okay.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: I can pick out individual times for one, but both
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: of them might be difficult to think about at the
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: same time. All right, meanwhile, Cowboys coming off that heartbreaking
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: loss to the Baltimore Ravens. And after the game, Brian Schottenheimer,
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: going through his press conference, was asked about.
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: The defensive improvements, what exactly did he see in terms
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: of defensive improvements?
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 11: I thought Quinnen looked great.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 2: I really did.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 11: I thought he did some very impactful plays. I thought
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 11: there were some positive things. I thought he got the
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 11: big stop down there in the red zone, kind of
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 11: a couple big stuffs. But at the end of the day,
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 11: I still think some of our edges in the run game,
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 11: we're getting beat to the edge. We're giving up some contain.
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 11: Those are things you've got to clean up. They had
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 11: too many yards rushing, again, 192. And at the end
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 11: of the day, you just can't do that. You just
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 11: got to be better as a football team. But yeah,
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 11: this one stings.
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: No question that it stings.
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: So next on the list, Shottie was asked about where
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: does the credit go for the defensive improvements during the
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: course of the game when he got a chance to
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: see what Derrick Henry could do, and yet they made
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: adjustments to make stops against him.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 11: I thought the entire defensive line, you know, Bull made
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 11: some plays, Tito made some plays. I mean, I think
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 11: you saw some penetration. That's a big back. You know,
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 11: in those short-yarded situations, we actually did a really good
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 11: job of the game plan of trying to get knockback
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 11: and get people, you know, where they should be. And
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 11: some of the penetration I thought was excellent. So give
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 11: those guys a lot of credit. That's a big man,
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 11: and we didn't.
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 2: Do it once. We did it a couple times. All right,
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 2: next up, asked about the fact that the team fought
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 2: really hard.
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: They fought back, had a chance to win. Is there
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: any consolation to be taken from that? No.
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 11: I think, you know, the way this league is, man,
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 11: these games always come down to that, and especially when
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 11: you have a team like this. But, you know, at
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 11: the end of the day, we lost, you know, and
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 11: that's what it is. So no one can say that
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 11: they called, played a perfect game.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: No one.
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 11: And so to me, at the end of the day,
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 11: you know, we all look at ourselves first. We pull
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 11: our bootstraps up, we get our asses back to Frisco
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 11: and we go back to work.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 17: All right.
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: Uh, next up was asked if, uh, Jay Sean Barham,
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: what he did with the big stops he made and,
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: and you know, what he's done to show what he
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: could do with the big stops he made.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 11: I remember the one where he shot the gap, you know,
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 11: he's just such a big, strong, powerful guy. Um, again,
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 11: I thought, uh, He flashed a lot, but I thought
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 11: more than anything, Tommy, I thought he was in great
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 11: command and control of what we were doing, you know,
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 11: and calling the game with the green dot and two
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 11: young players stepping up. And again, I do think that
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 11: helps him settle into the game a little bit, you know,
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 11: being in communication with Christian.
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: Next, asked also in terms of what they need to do,
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: they've got to be better in the special teams. You know,
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: Brandon Aubrey is great as he is and under the
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: new contract and the field goals that he makes. How
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: about the mistakes on the kickoffs that have been going
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: out of bounds?
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 11: Again, I mean, it happens occasionally. It can't happen twice
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 11: in a game. We don't expect that from Brandon. You know,
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 11: we know how talented Brandon is, but like I said,
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 11: no one coached or played a perfect game. And because
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 11: of that, we ended up coming up short to a
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 11: good football team and a team that, you know, played
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 11: well tonight.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 2: Next up, He was asked about Dan Schoonmaker, who had the,
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 2: what's that?
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 9: Luke.
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Luke.
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 2: I said Luke. I said Dan.
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: I meant Luke Schoonmaker making, having that false start and
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: how that impacts the play calling in the red zone
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: when you have a penalty like that late in the game.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 11: It can't happen to me. I mean, Schooney knows that,
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 11: you know, at the end of the time, at the
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 11: end of the day, we were down there low. I
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 11: liked the call that we had. But, you know, you
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 11: move us back, it definitely hurts because there's, you know,
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 11: a couple things that we had that we felt really
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 11: good about down there low. But, again, a broken record.
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 2: I apologize.
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 11: But, you know, no one coached or played a perfect
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 11: game tonight. And, unfortunately, that was a big play in
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 11: the game, just like, you know, some of the mistakes
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 11: I made.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: There was a lot of conversation about the field conditions.
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: going into it what did he think of the field
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: conditions there in rio and for that matter the atmosphere.
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 11: Yeah number one i thought the field held up fine
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 11: i thought you know there's one slip i remember turp
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 11: had one on the third down where he slipped on
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 11: a little comeback route that we had i thought the
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 11: emotion of the fans was great and uh unfortunately i
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 11: wish we could be out there celebrate with them right
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 11: now but we came.
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: Up short okay and then finally one more from brian
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: chottenheimer how about an evaluation of his team's pass.
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 11: Rush certainly below where we expect to be um You know,
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 11: especially with these athletic quarterbacks, that makes it hard. But
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 11: I definitely think that there's some ops. I mean, you know,
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 11: we've been around these guys a lot. You know, Calvin,
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 11: we just haven't gotten them on the ground. And we're
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 11: looking at everything. But I do think, you know, Quinton Williams,
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 11: you know, I thought he flashed tonight, looked really good.
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 11: And we're going to keep working because we've got a
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 11: long way to go.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 2: Okay. All right.
• 1:21:12

  Speaker 9: It's been a hard day's night, and I've been.
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 13: Working like a dog.
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 9: It's been a hard day's night.
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 5: I should be sleeping.
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 2: Like a log.
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 3: But when I get home.
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 9: To you, I find the things that you do will
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 9: make me feel all right.
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: Um, it was the hard day's night, you know, for
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 1: a lot of the teams, whether you were successful or not. Uh,
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 1: I got to tell you, you know, um, I, I
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 1: hear the song and obviously it was a huge hit
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 1: for the Beatles.
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 2: It was the number one.
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 1: Um, and they had the movie, which was, uh, uh,
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 1: also a big hit for them.
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 2: It was their first It was their first motion picture together.
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 1: And it was wildly successful at a time that was
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 1: wildly successful for them. However, as I said, there's two
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 1: or three different versions of this song. And I mean, actually,
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: there's more than that. But there's like Sheryl Crow did
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 1: a version.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 12: Of it.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 2: And then there's other.
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 1: Have you ever heard the Keely Smith version of A
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 1: Hard Day's Night?
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 3: I have not. I don't even know who Keely Smith is, Craig.
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 2: Should I? No, probably not. She long preceded you, like,
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 2: in the 60s.
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 3: Doesn't mean I shouldn't know, but.
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but... Look that up.
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I can pull it up here in a moment.
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, look that up. It's a little different. It's a
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: little different presentation.
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 2: This is it right here. Imagine a nightclub in the 60s.
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 2: It's groovy, man.
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: Guy with a big stand-up bass, and then she steps
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 1: to the mic.
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 3: It's been a while.
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 2: This night.
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 18: And he's been working like a dog. It's been a
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 18: hard day.
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 2: This night.
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 18: He should be sleeping like a log. But when he
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 18: comes home to me where he ought to be, I'll
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 18: make him feel all right.
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 3: So the other person's perspective in the song. Absolutely.
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 2: You know, he works hard.
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 18: All day to get me money to buy me things
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 18: and he does it just to hear me say i'm
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 18: gonna get him everything so he loves to come home
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 18: because when i get him alone i'll make him feel
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 18: okay now.
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 2: Listen to the the bridge here.
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 18: When he's home, everything seems to be right. When he's home,
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 18: kissing and holding me tight. So tight.
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 2: Violin in there? I'm about to give orchestral arrangement.
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 18: And he's been working.
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 4: Like a dog.
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 2: Anyway, so that's the Keely Spitzberg.
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 1: When you first came, bummed back with this, I was like,
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 1: The first time I heard the Keeley Spencer, I was
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 1: on a plane, on a long-distance flight somewhere, and just
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 1: happened to turn, and it was like, you know, with
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 1: all the different modes of music.
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 2: And entertainment you can do on a certain airline, and
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 2: there was that. I was like, hmm.
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 1: And Alyssa was like, wow, that's pretty groovy.
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 3: The person next to you is like, what's he snapping at?
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, right, exactly.
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 1: All right, back to work for the Longhorns, and head
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 1: coach Steve Sarkeesian, talking about the team trying to make
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 1: sure they take accountability for their mistakes, not only, you know,
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 1: the personal foul calls and the unsportsmanlike thing, but also
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 1: just the needless penalties and then cleaning up a lot
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 1: of things. And that includes his evaluation of special teams,
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 1: giving up the pump return for the touchdown, kickoffs that
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 1: were punts that did not go the direction they wanted.
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 2: There were some misfires on that as well.
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 4: I think it's, you know, we've got three new specialists and,
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 4: you know, like G's had a great year for us. Um,
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 4: but kickoff wise, that was not who he we've seen
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 4: him to be. We've had three home games here and
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 4: this guy's knocking every ball out of the end zone.
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 4: We're not getting returns Saturday. All of a sudden he's
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 4: not striking the ball the way he's capable of the
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 4: last one. We kick out of balance. They get the ball,
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 4: the 35 yard line. So Was that the environment? Was
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 4: that something he was doing fundamentally? We got to clean
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 4: that up. Secondly, the punt game, we're a directional punt team.
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 4: We're always trying to punt the ball to the numbers,
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 4: whether it's into the boundary to the field. And everyone
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 4: wants to talk about the coverage unit. Well, the long
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 4: punt return for the touchdown, we punt the ball right
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 4: down the middle of the field. That's not ideal when
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 4: you're trying to cover punts. And so getting those two
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 4: guys back to being the players that we know they're
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 4: capable of being, I do think is important. We have
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 4: stressed the return game. It was unfortunate we got the
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 4: block in the back on Jordan Johnson-Rubell because I think
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 4: Ryan Niblett was trying to set that up. We had
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 4: another punt return with Jermaine Bishop that, we don't execute
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 4: the way we would have liked that Ryan Niblett trying
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 4: to draw attention to himself. They didn't deem that it
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 4: was a fair catch, but we didn't practice that. All
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 4: we did was practice running over and falling down. And
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 4: so we got to do the things that we're practicing,
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 4: that we're doing. The block game is always something that
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 4: needs to be part of our repertoire, whether it's pump
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 4: block or field goal block. And so we won't ever
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 4: stop exhausting ourselves there. The biggest thing on special teams
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 4: we need to get is we need more depth and
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 4: You know, if Juice Cryer and Rasheem Biles and Jelani McDonald,
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 4: these guys are going to play this many snaps on defense,
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 4: which deservingly so, we need other guys taking some of
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 4: the heat off these guys on punt, punt return, kickoff coverage.
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 4: And so we need the depth to step up. And
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 4: I think that's where we need to place an emphasis
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 4: on who can we count on to be in those
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 4: positions to play on special teams. to take the load
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 4: off of those guys so that they can keep being
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 4: the players that they are on defense.
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 2: Very good point there.
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 1: Now, on to Cam Coleman, who was a little bit
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 1: banged up, and they were talking about his targets and catches,
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 1: and Sark was asked if Coleman is being utilized the
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 1: way they want it.
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's doing fine. He got banged up Saturday. And again,
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 4: there was a lot of emphasis and attention drawn his
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 4: way with cloud coverage and things. And that's where we
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 4: have to utilize the other guys. And I get it.
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 4: I think Ryan had, I don't know, five or six
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 4: catches or whatever it was Saturday. But when we get
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 4: those opportunities, we gotta take them and we gotta take
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 4: advantage of them. He makes the one catch. He actually
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 4: bruised a tailbone. It's nothing serious of when he landed
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 4: to make the catch. Arch took the shot to him
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 4: on the post, which I have no qualms about him
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 4: taking that shot. And I like Cam Coleman's odds one-on-one
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 4: on a deep ball down the field. But again, we've
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 4: got to be creative enough and we've got to allow
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 4: him to do the things that he does really well
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 4: as we continue to navigate our way.
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 2: Through the season.
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 1: Then there was a question from our friend Kirk Bowles
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 1: with the Austin, well, usually be Austin American Save.
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 2: Still lives in Austin, but he's with the Houston Chronicle now.
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 1: And he asked a question about, as to whether this
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 1: team can win a national championship given the offense that
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 1: they've shown so far. Can this offense do enough to
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 1: help them win the national championship? If not, what changes
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 1: could or should be made? And I thought Sark had
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 1: a pretty interesting response to him.
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 4: No, because I don't know all the teams that we're
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 4: going to play yet as we navigate our way through.
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 4: What I don't know is we need to play better
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 4: offensive football. And where that begins for us is do
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 4: the things in game that we practice. That's like a
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 4: simple fix, right? And that was part of the meeting
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 4: this morning when I went through good, bad, and ugly
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 4: with the offense in front of the team, but with
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 4: the offense was here's something we did in practice and
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 4: you can show them doing it in practice. Now here's
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 4: the same thing in game and why are we not
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 4: doing that? Why are we not taking Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 4: Friday to Saturday? It starts there. Like Let's at least
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 4: just do what we practice, and that will start moving
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 4: the ball forward on a more consistent basis. What we
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 4: can't do is have five drives start where we have
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 4: a negative play on P and 10 to start a series,
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 4: and it's second and 13, it's second and 15, and
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 4: that lends itself to third and 18, third and 17,
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 4: third and 13. Nobody wants to be in that situation.
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 4: The offensive line doesn't, harder to block those pass rushers.
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 4: The quarterback doesn't. The receivers don't because they're getting now
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 4: a variety of coverages, and I can promise you the
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 4: play caller doesn't either. And so we've got to be
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 4: more efficient on first and 10, and that starts with
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 4: just doing what we practice doing. I don't think now
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 4: is the time to simplify. I think now is the
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 4: time to trust what we do. And as of right now,
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 4: I don't see any, like, changes to the starting 11
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 4: or 13 because you could vary that some. but I
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 4: do think competition is healthy and it's important, especially in
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 4: a bye week, to see if guys can make strides
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 4: to earn more opportunities.
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 1: We'll come back to that thing about taking the practice
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 1: habits and execution to the playing field in just a
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 1: few minutes here. First of all, Roger Wallace asked him
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 1: a question about Arch Manning's mental and physical break and
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 1: reprieve he might be getting this week due to the bye.
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 4: I think it's tough because, you know, for a quarterback,
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 4: you know, offensive production, you know, I think everybody looks
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 4: at falls squarely on a quarterback shoulders when in reality,
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 4: I thought ours played a pretty good game Saturday. He
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 4: didn't have a lot of ops. You know, he only
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 4: got 19 passes. He was able to get off. And
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 4: even the interception, like I said, I thought he makes
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 4: a pretty good throw and I'll take my shot with
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 4: Cam Coleman on that right there next Saturday too. You know,
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 4: if we get that look, we got to take it.
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 4: I do think we've got to minimize getting out of
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 4: these third and long situations because that creates a tough
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 4: situation on a quarterback. And that's where we're crossing the
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 4: line of scrimmage. Now it's three times in a couple
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 4: of weeks to last week to where he wants to run,
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 4: but it's too far to get to where he wants
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 4: to get to, to get the first down. And so
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 4: now he's stuck in the middle of what to do next.
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 4: And so we've got to be better first and second
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 4: down players. So in the end, again, I think that
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 4: he'll continue to get better as we continue to get
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 4: better around him. He's got to do his part, don't
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 4: get me wrong, and there's plenty of things that he
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 4: can improve upon, but everybody's got to get better on offense.
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 4: We can't just say, well, Arch needs to play better.
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 11: No, no, no.
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 4: A lot of guys on offense need to improve throughout
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 4: this bye week and heading into the next ballgame.
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 2: All right, we need to take a break.
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 1: When we come back, there's a little more I want
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 1: you to hear from Sark, including a pretty interesting overview
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 1: of the SEC with everybody having just played one, at
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 1: the most, two conference games. We'll hear that coming up
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 1: when we continue on 13 Under the Zone. Well, the
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 1: Texans are trying to keep from backing down.
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 2: They're 0-3 now.
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 1: And after their loss yesterday in the waning moments, Indianapolis 1917,
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 1: head coach D'Amico Ryans was asked if he's undergone some
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 1: self-evaluation and or second-guessing about how he's using his timeouts.
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 12: When I look at it, if I can make a
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 12: better decision, I'll look at that and try to see
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 12: where I can make a better decision.
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 1: Now, the Texans' offense wasn't as low-performing as it was
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 1: against Cincinnati, but they still had struggles, and he was
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 1: asked about how the Colts' defense was able to engineer
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 1: that success.
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 12: Defensively, they did a good job of getting off on
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 12: third downs. It was difficult for us to sustain drives.
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 4: We couldn't sustain drives. They made plays on third downs.
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 12: And on the flip side, for us defensively, Although we
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 12: took the ball away, did some good things, we couldn't
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 12: get off the field on third down. Those critical stops
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 12: that we needed to get off the field, we didn't
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 12: get off the field.
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 1: And they also went for it in the first quarter
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 1: on fourth down on their side of midfield.
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 2: That did not work out.
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I wanted to press forward. I wanted our guys
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 12: to finish their drive with a touchdown there. Believed in
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 12: the play call that we had. Believed in the guys
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 12: doing it. It didn't work your way.
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 12: Every week, we can come. We talk about fourth downs.
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 12: Sometimes they go your way.
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 1: It's great.
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 11: They converted some fourth downs.
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 12: All right?
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 2: We did it.
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 8: So.
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 1: So they're 0-3, getting ready to face the Cowboys this
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 1: coming Sunday in Houston.
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 11: All right.
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 1: Uh, back to a Longhorns head coach, Steve Sarkeesian was asked,
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 1: is it fair to expect more from the offense and
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 1: what they've delivered so far?
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 4: It's always fair. No, that's definitely fair. Uh, I have no,
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 4: we all want to perform and perform at a really
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 4: high level and we want to be a complete team. Um,
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 4: and the expectation and the standard is high to perform
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 4: at a high level. We haven't done that yet offensively
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 4: on a consistent enough basis. And so, um, that's fair.
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 4: And we got to push these guys to be better.
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 4: And that's our job as coaches.
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 1: Sark mentioned the first down struggles that are putting him
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 1: in the second and 10 or third and 19 and
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 1: things like that as well. So our defense is doing
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 1: something in specific to cause that?
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 2: Not necessarily.
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 4: That's the part that's probably frustrating is that we're not
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 4: doing the simple tasks. Like, it's one thing when, man,
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 4: that's a really tough block to make, or, man, that's
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 4: a really tough throw to make in that window, or, gosh,
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 4: that's a hard block for the running back or the
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 4: tight end, or, gosh, man, that route's going to be
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 4: tough to run versus that. It's simple tasks. And we
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 4: need to keep the simple things simple. You know, I
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 4: used to have an old offensive coordinator by the name
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 4: of Norm Chow, and he used to have this term
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 4: called kiss it. Keep it simple, stupid. And I used
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 4: to think as a player, like, man, why would he
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 4: say that? But sometimes doing the simple task could feel
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 4: like hard. And we need to make simple be simple.
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 4: And that's what we need to focus on first. Like
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 4: the simple task on base downs versus second downs, we
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 4: need to do the simple things well. Then we can
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 4: worry about doing the tough things well. well but we
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 4: got to do the simple things well.
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 1: First all right a couple other things one he was
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 1: asked about that taking that what they've done on the
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 1: practice field really well on tuesdays wednesdays and thursdays but
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 1: struggling with some of those things on saturday is that
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 1: common that he's had to deal with that before.
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 4: I think it can happen different years um i think
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 4: sometimes what happens is Guys are trying to make plays.
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 4: They want to have an impact on the game. They
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 4: want to make a play. They want to try to
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 4: do more than maybe what's asked of them on a
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 4: certain play. I think sometimes guys can chase ghosts, meaning,
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 4: I know it's this, but what if it's this? Oh,
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 4: it wasn't that? Oh, shoot, I just didn't block what
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 4: I knew it was going to be, or I'm using
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 4: that as an example of the line of scrimmage, but
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 4: that can happen too, and That's part of just trusting
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 4: your training. So I think we need to settle down
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 4: a little bit as a team, not try so hard
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 4: and just do the simple. And if we can do that,
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 4: that's not going to make us perfect, but that at
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 4: least is a starting point to start moving in the
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 4: right direction in a positive way.
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 2: One more from Sartre. He was asked about his thoughts
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 2: on the SEC and uh, is he surprised to look
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 2: and see two future opponents coming up in October, Florida
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 2: and Mississippi state performing as well as they are and
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 2: now ranked.
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 4: They were on my card. I tried to tell you
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 4: guys about Florida last year. No one wanted to believe me.
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 4: They got real players in Gainesville and they're a good
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 4: football team and they've kind of figured it out. So
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 4: We'll worry about that when that one comes. And Mississippi State,
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 4: I knew about Kamaru Taylor a year ago. They just
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 4: didn't play him a lot. They put him in our game.
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 4: He threw a touchdown pass. So they've got real– this
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 4: league is no joke. It's a real league. Week in
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 4: and week out, it's like how do you just go
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 4: corral your team to say, hey, I need you mentally
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 4: and I need you physically attached to this game starting
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 4: on Monday. And doing that Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 4: so that you're prepared to play Saturday. Because it's not
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 4: just the physical component of this league. It's the mental
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 4: component of this league that it requires. It requires the preparation.
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 4: It requires the right emotional state that you're in when
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 4: you go into these stadiums and you play on the road.
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 4: And And we're going to find out more as the
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 4: season goes on. And that's where I credit our team.
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 4: We weren't perfect Saturday, clearly. I'm talking about penalties and things.
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 4: But to walk into that arena and play the way
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 4: they played against a top 15 opponent, we deserve a
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 4: lot of credit for that. And those players in our
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 4: locker room deserve a lot of credit for that because
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 4: we're seeing it time and time again where teams don't
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 4: do that. And they fall behind on the road and
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 4: then they can't get out of the hole that they
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 4: dig themselves. And our guys did not. Now, we need
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 4: to play better. Don't get me wrong. And obviously, I
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 4: don't know how many times have I said it today,
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 4: but that's what this league requires. And it is tough
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 4: and it is hard. And that's a credit to the
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 4: other coaches in this league, the other players in this league,
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 4: the other fan bases in this league. And I'd be
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 4: remiss if I didn't thank Longhorn Nation because there was
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 4: a lot of burnt orange in the crowd at Neyland Stadium.
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 4: And it was nothing better than seeing the eyes of Texas,
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 4: you know, when you're on the road and There's all
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 4: the burn orange when it's all done, when you can
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 4: win on the road. So we take a lot of,
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 4: we take a lot of pride in that. I think
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 4: now I know I throw a lot of crazy stats
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 4: at you guys, but since 2023, we have five road
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 4: wins against ranked opponents. That's more than any other team
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 4: in the country. That's 16 wins versus top 25 teams
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 4: since 2023, which is more than any other team in
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 4: the country. So, you know, I, again, we take a
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 4: lot of pride in that. And of those 16 teams,
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 4: six of those were top 10 ranked teams. And so
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 4: I know a lot is written about, well, we struggle
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 4: on the road and we play in a lot of
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 4: tough road environments, you know, and maybe more than other schools,
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 4: but we respond and we play pretty well. And so
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 4: we're 11 and one in our last 12 games, six
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 4: of those wins are against top 20 teams. four of
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 4: those wins are over top 10 teams. And so we're
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 4: used to playing in those arenas. We're not perfect, but
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 4: we find a way to win. And I think that
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 4: says a lot comparatively of what you see around the
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 4: country when teams get stuck in these environments.
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 1: All right, there it is, an overview of the SEC.
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 1: We'll be back to wrap up today's edition of the
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 1: program on 1300 The Zone.
