• 0:17
  Speaker 1: that Tennessee-South Carolina game, Alabama. Three straight losses in Neyland Stadium.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Have you come back down off of that? Because I
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: know you had– I tuned in. I watched it. I
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: was driving, so I couldn't comment. But, like, I watched
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: what was going on. Have you come back down off
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: of that high yet?
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: I wore this for two days.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: You pulled that out. Listen, you pulled that out last
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: week when I asked you who was going to win.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: You went and got that, and you said, I can't
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: pick against my boys, so– I'm.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Going to wear it a third damn day. I love it.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Oh my God. This is, I.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: Woke up Sunday morning and I was like, God, I'm
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: in a good mood right now.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: It just hit me. I was like, and it's how
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: we beat them.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah. We didn't run the score and have to beat
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: them 52 to 49. We beat them the way they
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: used to beat us, which was just, And it's so
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: demoralizing to lose that way. And we did it for
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: over a decade under Nick Saban.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: I don't even remember. I've deleted how many times he won. Yeah.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: And to win three straight at Neyland and to know
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: that we have their number, that blows my mind.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: So you're darn right. We're so happy up here. It's
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: just ridiculous.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Well, the way that– and I agree with you. The
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: way that they won, the– just the domination by the defense,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: the ability to run the ball. McIntyre played well. Like it,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: it really was an impressive and early in the game.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: You had to think like, I thought these field goals
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: are going to come back to bite us. Like these
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: field goals early are not going to be enough. They're
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: going to score some touchdowns. And right before halftime, they scored,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: didn't they? To make it 12 to 10. And you
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: thought that's, that's probably not good. And Keelan made a
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: great play, got in the end zone. And I thought, shoot,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: that's not good. I was driving to the Florida, Florida,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Florida state Miami game. And so I had it in
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: my air, like I was listening to it on radio.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: I wasn't watching the game. I watched it later on
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: the highlights, but listening to it on the radio and
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: even the announcers for ESPN radio, we're saying that Bama
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: touchdowns big man. Now they get to come out and
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: it's basically a brand new ball game at 12 to 10.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: So really, really impressive job for Tennessee and, the way
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: the sec is you don't, you don't get it. You
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: don't get to celebrate it for long. You don't get
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: to wear that thing too many more days. Um, but
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: a tough game at South Carolina, um, in Williams rice,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: a game where Tennessee is the underdog.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: I feel great about it. I'm ready to go. I
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: am ready to go. I'm just hope as long as
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: I don't see this, I think it'll be a good
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: ball game.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: I think South Carolina is, At Williams-Brice is darn near– look,
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: they're favored by between.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: One and two points. So, I mean, dadgum. They should
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: be able to play a– you don't need this, South Carolina.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: You don't need any of this. Play a straight up.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: You've got as good a chance of beating us as
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: we do you. And I think it's going to be
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: a great ball game. It's strength against strength. You know,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: they're actually the number one team in rushing. Not Tennessee.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: We're number two. But we've got the number one defense.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: They've got the third-year starter at quarterback. We've got a
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: brand-new guy that this will be his third start ever
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: in college football.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: He's not dynamic.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: He can't run and do all the things that sellers
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: can do, but he seems to be doing just fine.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: He's won every game he's been in so far, and
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: winning speaks pretty loudly to me. Yeah.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: The thing that I wonder about with this game is
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: the talent on South Carolina's offense. Can this Tennessee defense
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: do it again? And can they do it on the road?
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: I think Bama is more talented, but I also think
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: that playing at home is a little easier than playing
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: on the road in Williams-Brice. And so if the defense
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: can hold South Carolina under 21, 24, then I really
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: like Tennessee's offense to find enough because the South Carolina
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: defense can get got, especially on the back end. The
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: defense has been so impressive, but Tennessee's going to ask
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: them to go do it one more time and help
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: them out. And again, not just one more time, the
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: rest of the season, they're going to need to continue
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: to be good. But that's my biggest question is what
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: does this defense do? Can they prove it again?
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: You know, I.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: Thought Alabama might expose us because they had Keelan Russell
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: as a great running quarterback. He's a fantastic running quarterback,
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: very quick and elusive. And we got him. And part
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: of that was Neyland, I think, played a role in that. But,
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: you know, this team has shown me that the defense
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: seems to be pretty real. And Jim Knowles is confusing
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: offensive play callers, really confusing them. And he's coming at
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: them from different directions. And the secondary has been pretty
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: darn good. So I'm very pleased with that. And that
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: gives me some solace going into this game that the
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: defense usually travels pretty well.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: Running the ball usually travels pretty well. I think the crowd, look,
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Williams-Brice is a very loud place. And Neyland might be
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: number one loudest and probably is. But their top five, Williams-Brice,
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: and here's the thing that they do.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: It's not the worst thing. It's not the cowbells.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: It's not the, it never stops. It's not, which is
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: that's number one and number two, most difficult to deal with.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: It's the, every 30 seconds. That is the loudest, most
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: brutal sound. It's way worse.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Than almost anything.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: There's only two things that will annoy you more and
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: more difficult to play are the two.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: That I just listed.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: I'll get right back to the interview, but first I
• 6:17

  Speaker 1: Hall for their support. The cowbell's got to be up there.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: It's number one. Cowbell's number one.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Cowbell's got to be everybody's number one.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Because you're bringing a noisemaker, so it's number one.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: Number two is the, I'm telling you, you can't even
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: go get a hot dog in an FSU game. The
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: guy selling you a hot dog is, here's your dog
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: in your chair. I don't care what you do. You're
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: going to hear that every, and it drives you crazy
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: as an opponent. I'm telling you, that is an advantage
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: for you guys. That chop is a big deal.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: The play of George McIntyre, I think has improved week
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: over week over week. I thought he was better with
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: the night and throws for as many yards, but I
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: think 200 yards against Bama is more impressive than two
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: 50 against Arkansas. Also didn't have two turnovers are two
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: picks in this game against Bama. I thought, I think
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: he's getting better every single week. And I know we
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: were big brain and believers, but credit to Josh for
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: making the switch. I obviously hope Brandon gets back, gets healthy.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: And then if he can make a difference, then, you know, help,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: help out great. But I really do. I like the
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: way that McIntyre is playing week over week after week.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: If the running game continues to do the heavy lifting,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: it makes it a lot easier on McIntyre or Brandon,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: whoever will play. But again, on George specifically, I really
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: like what he's doing. I think Josh's system helps with that.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: I think the offensive line helps that in the running game,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: the weapons out wide. And we talked about it. This
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: is a, an offense that's friendly to a young quarterback,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: more friendly than a lot of places would be, but
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: the quarterback has to go out and do it, and
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: he's done a good job, I think.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, one of the things that I like that he did,
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: if you noticed in that one series where they took
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: nine and a half minutes off the clock, there were
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: multiple third downs, and he threw a slant and a
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: couple other passes where it needed to be timed up
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: just right, and it needed to be accurate because it
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: was a very nerve-wracking time. When you're trying to finish
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: a game off like that, those third downs are you know,
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: their turnover opportunities, basically, if you don't get it. And
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: he made three throws that hit guys like this, all
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: three of them. And they weren't low. They weren't high.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: The guy didn't have to reach back. It was right
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: there to where even maybe a guy like me could
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: catch it. And under that pressure, that impressed me a lot.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: That's like a guy that can sit there and sink
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: that downhill five foot breaker and it goes dead in
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: the middle and he just picks it up for a
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: par and goes the next hole. Those are the shots
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: that get you to 68, 67 in golf.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: That's what he was able to do.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: I thought those were game-winning plays that are sort of
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: understated because they weren't flashy. Flashy's wonderful and all that
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: for fun, but it's that third and five, making that
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: nice pass that he does quite well. Like I said,
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: he's not going to wow you, but that wows me. Yeah.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: He just stands in with so much confidence. And I
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: think Brandon lost some of that when he got hurt.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: So I don't want to just blame him entirely independent
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: of the injury. I think the injury had a lot
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: to do with it. And man, you get sacked that
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: many times and get hit that many times. It is
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: going to do something to you, especially as young as
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: he is. But I will tell you, it just looks
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: a little different with George out there. It just, that confidence,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: that swagger, the way he carries himself. And not that
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: I think phase on struggle with that early. Cause I
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: thought phase on had a lot of those things too,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: against the weaker part of this schedule. But I love
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: the way that McIntyre just looks so confident, so calm,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: so cool collected, despite the, some of the challenges, despite
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: the interceptions, despite some of the mistakes he's made, he does, man.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: He just fires it into there super, super efficiently, super,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: super effectively. And I think that's commendable for sure.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: You know, at one point he was a five star,
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: George was, and then he got lowered to a four star.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: And that's kind of what they saw in high school
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: was just his accuracy. And I had watched him in
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: a lot of practice and he was the one guy
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: that seemed to always deliver it just exactly in the
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: right spot. You know, I probably watched a hundred passes
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: and it was like, he just always seemed to do that.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: But Faison just brought a level of athleticism. I think
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: got the coaches excited. This is one, this is kind
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: of a, it's why you really don't want to start
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: a true freshman. It's just too hard in the SEC
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: or against really big time, powerful schools that you're going
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: to be able to pull that off.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, what the, they put.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: A freshman in an Ohio state game and he couldn't,
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: it's just, you, it's really hard to do anything.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Because you've got no experience. I mean, I was.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: Talking to one of the TV guys the other day
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: when we were doing a show, and we'd had problems.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: And last night, I knew how to fix it immediately,
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: and I'm sitting here going, man, I'm not a freshman
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: anymore at this. Whereas when I first started doing YouTube, man,
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: I'd have a mistake. And I mean, I was like frazzled.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, I would cancel the show and redo it,
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: delete it. Now I can kind of work through it.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: That's experience that this kid's got, you know, he's starting
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: to get some experience and he did have the first
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: year of learning the system. So I think it's easier
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: for George because of that extra year.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: The thing that worries you the most outside of, uh,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: outside of the crowd noise, is it a potential nefarious
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: things going on, on that South Carolina sideline? Uh, have you,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: have you let that go over the last four years?
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: I think I've let it go. What are you talking about?
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: What do you think that it's even in my head?
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Your two props. I love both props equally. The wristband
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: and the chain. Both of them at the same time.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: I give the SEC so much grief for a nine-game
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: schedule and conference realignment and everything else. Sankey's an idiot.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: All these things. The scheduling that they did to put
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Bama the week before in Neyland so you knew you
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: were going to win. and then South Carolina right after,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: so that Sports Talk Jay could wear a wristband and
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: a chain in the same week. It's just a marriage. Again,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: I give Sankey so much crap, and you do too.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: I've got to tip my cap to him. I think
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: this is a great job by the league scheduling office
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: because we got you here today.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: I almost had to apologize to him because I've had
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: so much fun with these games.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: The matchups have been so great, and I'm so mad
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: at him for not.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: Getting us to the 16-team playoff, which he could have
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: used that to do with Tony Petitti, but I got
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: to admit, it's been a blast. Last Saturday and the
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: Saturday before, they might be the best we've ever had
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: as far as just big-time games. And then the Big
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: Ten threw in some games like Indiana, Ohio State, and
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: then you guys played Miami.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: And I'm sitting here going, I couldn't keep up. Notre Dame-BYU?
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: It's just fascinating. Oh, yeah. It's phenomenal.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Listen, I think this game is incredibly underrated. we have,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: could Texas be out? Could like Sark loses. I don't know.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: He's gonna lose a job, but like Sark and Ole
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Miss pay Peyton's or Archie's team.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: That's a fantastic game.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: That game is off the charts and it's must win
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: for Texas. So what, what tricks do they pull out?
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: You got the controversy with arch. Are they going to
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: start somebody or not starts, but you got the backup
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: taking first team reps.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Um, And we got Bama LSU next week. Yeah. In
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: an elimination game.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame-Miami's coming up. BYU-Utah's coming up. Like, I'm telling you,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: it doesn't get– college football. You know, Josh Pate tweets
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: the up emoji, like the line going up, you know,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: the upward chart or whatever. College football is on fire
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: right now. So who wins South Carolina-Tennessee? Do you guys
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: pull it off?
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Tennessee will– I think we'll pull it off.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: But I think it'll be a tough ballgame. I do
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: not think we'll see these. I think we've done our job.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: Everybody at South Carolina knows you can't do this anymore.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: So I don't think we're going to see that anymore.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: Thank goodness. And South Carolina just needs to play us
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: straight up. They have a very legitimate chance of winning
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: this game. That Williams-Brice is no joke. I think that's
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: a significant help to them, just like Neyland is. And
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: that crowd's going to be there, man. They want to
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: beat Tennessee so bad that they can't stand it. They
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: can taste it. It's the only thing I think they'd
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: rather beat Clemson if they had the choice, but I
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: think Tennessee would be number two right behind that for
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: South Carolina.
