  Speaker 2: Oh, not even the fantasy.
• 1:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah, man.
• 1:25
  Speaker 8: Not a great weekend.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: You're the only one. I'm the only one.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: You're the only one. And they beat your team, the Bears. So,
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: I don't really know how you feel about that. I mean,
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: I don't understand that. You love, no, like the Bears
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: kind of like you're adopted. You really like Ben Johnson.
• 1:41
  Speaker 9: That was me calling. That was my calling my shot
• 1:43
  Speaker 9: that I thought they would do well this year.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: So you like them.
• 1:46
  Speaker 10: It's fine.
• 1:47
  Speaker 9: And I got a lot of Caleb cards, but no,
• 1:49
  Speaker 9: I didn't cheer for the Bears against the Packers.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? Packers, BTA.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: I mean, thank God for me for the U-High Cubs because, whew,
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: the Tigers is a Saints, the Chargers, the 10U Chargers.
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: We didn't even get it done.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Wait, wait, wait.
• 2:04
  Speaker 10: What was the final score Friday? I never called it.
• 2:06
  Speaker 6: 42-18, maybe.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Something like that. I don't know. 14-14?
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: I don't know. I was in Lexington and trying to
• 2:17
  Speaker 6: watch it on my phone.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: It wasn't coming through very clear.
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: It was on Huddle.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
• 2:24
  Speaker 8: Huddle's still a thing.
• 2:25
  Speaker 6: It's still a thing. That's where the game was.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Huddle's popping. It was on Huddle. Huddle is popping. Thank
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: God for that one. So do you have to have
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: like a parent log in and you get to watch, right?
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: I use my mom's log in because she signed up.
• 2:38
  Speaker 6: That's how she normally watches. She signed up and I
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: use that puppy. Sweet.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it wasn't great, buddy. It wasn't great.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: The two Louisiana, Maine, Louisiana football teams.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Turns out, not that great. Not that great. Both of
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: them went into each game very ill-prepared, I feel like. Yeah.
• 3:03
  Speaker 8: But the Saints kind of looked like that pretty much
• 3:09
  Speaker 8: the majority of the season.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:13
  Speaker 10: Yeah, like LSU looked bad. I think the Saints just
• 3:16
  Speaker 10: played a game.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they just played a game.
• 3:18
  Speaker 10: Yeah. I mean, that's just kind of who they are.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately.
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: We can start with LSU. We can go to the
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: Saints later. Each needs their own time. Each needs their
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: own therapy session. The LSU game is going to be
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: as frustrating as you'll have watching it, and not because of,
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: you know, I.
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: Wish they would have done this.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: I wish they would have done that.
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: We could do that, and probably at some point we'll
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: get to that, but Everything in that game that happened,
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: you still should have won the game seven times. Like,
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: with everything that happened.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: You didn't get the calls. They didn't get penalized. Touchdown
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: before half was really questionable.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: All of that.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: And we'll get to the whole gambit of it. But
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: the most frustrating thing is, with all of that, you
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: still had seven different ways you could have won that game.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:12
  Speaker 9: At least seven. And this is not going to be a.
• 4:16
  Speaker 9: therapy session where it's like, well, she was a better team.
• 4:18
  Speaker 9: If we played nine, 10, like we played 10 times,
• 4:21
  Speaker 9: we didn't win nine of them. Like, I think that's,
• 4:25
  Speaker 9: I'm not going to say that. Cause you didn't win.
• 4:28
  Speaker 9: So you were not the better team on Saturday. You
• 4:32
  Speaker 9: had every opportunity to win it as players, as coaches,
• 4:37
  Speaker 9: and you didn't do it. So yeah, Kentucky was the
• 4:41
  Speaker 9: better team. So they get to tell, say, tell everybody,
• 4:44
  Speaker 9: for a year or until the next time you plan
• 4:47
  Speaker 9: that they were better than you, which might be seven.
• 4:49
  Speaker 9: And yeah, I do believe if you played 10 times,
• 4:51
  Speaker 9: you went at nine times, but you didn't win it Saturday.
• 4:56
  Speaker 9: And it's frustrating. It's frustrating to see the team perform
• 5:02
  Speaker 9: the way they did. Of course, from an X is
• 5:06
  Speaker 9: a no standpoint, of course, from a mono E mono standpoint,
• 5:09
  Speaker 9: but You mentioned already some of the situations. There's countless
• 5:13
  Speaker 9: situations that we could spend a whole segment on a
• 5:17
  Speaker 9: lot of these situations, situational football. And that was very
• 5:22
  Speaker 9: frustrating to watch. There was definitely a lot of oxygen
• 5:26
  Speaker 9: that was getting punched by me Saturday watching this game.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: And it's frustrating. And I've already punched oxygen twice.
• 5:33
  Speaker 9: Punched air here in this room this morning because I
• 5:36
  Speaker 9: turned on the film for the first time this morning
• 5:37
  Speaker 9: when I sat down and I watched the first series
• 5:40
  Speaker 9: of LSU offense. And it was frustrating. Yeah, the team
• 5:46
  Speaker 9: looked very unprepared. Coaches, you looked very unprepared as well.
• 5:51
  Speaker 9: And it was frustrating. And I don't know if anybody's
• 5:56
  Speaker 9: listening to this. They shouldn't be.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Mad at me. Like, they know. They know it was bad.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Look in the mirror.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: LSU hasn't won a road game in the last six chances.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: That was a shocking stat when that popped up.
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: And I knew it.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Is it 400 days now is what it is?
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like 700 and something from SEC. That hurt
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: my heart to see.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: I'm like, wait a minute, we're LSU. What? Well, we're
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: definitely going to win this one for sure. What are
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: you talking about? That counter is going to be reset.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: That's what I said when I saw it.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: And, look, the tail of the tape, like if you
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: looked at just the team stats, first down is LSU 26,
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: Kentucky 19. Third down efficiency, LSU 7 of 13. Really
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: good again. Kentucky 5 of 14. Fourth downs, you're 1
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: of 1. Kentucky's 1 of 2. Total yards, you win there,
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: 410 to 401.
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: You threw the ball better, they ran the ball better. Penalties,
• 7:02
  Speaker 6: seven for LSU, two for Kentucky.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Two.
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: A clear targeting call and a clear roughing the passer.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Turnovers.
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: They took care of the football. They didn't have any.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: You had two.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: You won time of possession as well. A lot of
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: things you won in this game, except the game. So
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: many opportunities, as we said. Like when you get gifts
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: like that, like the missed field goals.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Two.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: And you don't take advantage of it. There's so many
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: different parts of this that are going to be frustrating. And, again,
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: we'll talk it all through. We'll look at some of
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: the plays that worked, some of the ones that didn't work.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: Like the last play the LSU ran offensively, I loved it.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: I loved it.
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: It was a counter.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: Motion the fullback back into the backfield. And, you know,
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: you have the puller. And then the fullback goes like
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: he's cutting off backside. And then he wraps around as
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: the second puller.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Loved it.
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: Great play design. Wish I would have seen that on
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: fourth and one or something.
• 7:59
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: Something on fourth and one. Cause I wanted him to
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: go for it on fourth and one.
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: And I know it's going to probably be the thing
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: that's talked about the most this weekend or this week,
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: I should say all the way to the next weekend.
• 8:12
  Speaker 8: Didn't last week he say like, y'all hired me to
• 8:15
  Speaker 8: go for it on fourth.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: And one or something like that. Yeah.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:19
  Speaker 8: Or something along those lines.
• 8:20
  Speaker 10: It was Texas A & M. It was right before half.
• 8:23
  Speaker 10: He didn't go for it. It was fourth and about
• 8:26
  Speaker 10: half a yard. No, it didn't matter because you beat
• 8:28
  Speaker 10: the crap out of A & M, but he, kind
• 8:30
  Speaker 10: of said word for word, like, what he did this
• 8:33
  Speaker 10: past weekend. Like, I talked myself out of it. And
• 8:35
  Speaker 10: my question is, why are you continuing to talk yourself
• 8:37
  Speaker 10: out of it?
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, just the sloppiness of.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: Well, the fourth and one portion of it, I mean,
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: the school that we come from, you didn't even think
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: about it.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Just went.
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: Like, we wouldn't have even looked over to the sideline. Like, oh,
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: we're going. I still didn't even look over there.
• 8:56
  Speaker 9: It just seemed everything was the operation. Everything was sloppy.
• 9:00
  Speaker 9: How many times, like twice in the game, it was
• 9:02
  Speaker 9: a big conversion, like a big moment to go for it.
• 9:06
  Speaker 9: You line up and you do the jump off sides play.
• 9:11
  Speaker 9: Then you call a timeout. And then one time you
• 9:14
  Speaker 9: decided to still. It's just everything was just broken. Like
• 9:18
  Speaker 9: nothing was smooth, I thought, operationally throughout the game. And, yeah,
• 9:22
  Speaker 9: the fourth and one is going to be talked about
• 9:24
  Speaker 9: by everybody. Because, yes, you should have gone for it. And, like,
• 9:26
  Speaker 9: he knows that. I mean, LSU will probably know. never
• 9:29
  Speaker 9: punt again this year. I mean, if it's fourth and 80,
• 9:31
  Speaker 9: it'll probably still go for it. I, there's a regret there.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: And I get that.
• 9:36
  Speaker 9: And I can, I can absolutely listen to the argument
• 9:40
  Speaker 9: of why you punt there. You play that out a
• 9:43
  Speaker 9: hundred times. You probably win 99. Like that just, I
• 9:47
  Speaker 9: can hear that argument.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 9:48
  Speaker 9: You should have gone forward on fourth one, but that's
• 9:50
  Speaker 9: just like one of so many things that went wrong
• 9:55
  Speaker 9: throughout the game.
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: So we'll get into all of them. We'll try not
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: to spit. I just, honestly, I just fully believed. And, again,
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: like on the broadcast, and Chris Blair's like, hey, put
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: your coaching headset on. I was like, before he could
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: even finish, I was like, go for it. You go
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: for it. Like, I come from the school of Les Miles. Like,
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: you go for it. You finish the game here. You're
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: the road team. If you're the home team, maybe it's
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: a little bit different. You're the road team. You finish it.
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: You got three feet. You got three feet.
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: You win the game.
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: Now, I know, to your point, if you're trying to
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: play devil's advocate, you didn't run it well. 2.6 yards
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: per rush.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: You didn't get a lot of push.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: You didn't run it well, which was... Surprising. Which was...
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: You ran one. I went to curse. Your guards... We've
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: got to have a real conversation about your guards. We've
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: got to have a conversation about them.
• 10:56
  Speaker 9: Okay, I hadn't watched the whole film, so I might
• 10:58
  Speaker 9: be speaking out of turn, but I've watched the first
• 11:00
  Speaker 9: little bit of the first quarter. We've got to have
• 11:03
  Speaker 9: a conversation about the scheme, too. There are so many
• 11:07
  Speaker 9: people pulling every single play and leaving guys free, and.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: It's hard to sort that out.
• 11:14
  Speaker 9: When you're blocking with a tight end, a fullback, running back,
• 11:18
  Speaker 9: or in a receiver, like in a bunch, and you're
• 11:21
  Speaker 9: pulling two linemen, it's hard to sort that out.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: You've got to declare a will.
• 11:25
  Speaker 9: You've got to say, this guy's got the mic, this
• 11:27
  Speaker 9: guy's got the sand, this guy's got the first number four,
• 11:29
  Speaker 9: this guy's got the safety if he shows, if he
• 11:32
  Speaker 9: doesn't show, and then you've got the corner. There's so
• 11:34
  Speaker 9: much stuff to sort out, and there's leakage. There's leakage everywhere.
• 11:38
  Speaker 9: I didn't see a whole lot of, like, let's line
• 11:40
  Speaker 9: up and run duo or iso. It was just like,
• 11:46
  Speaker 9: let's pull as many people as we can And then
• 11:48
  Speaker 9: you start pulling people on play action. That's like a
• 11:53
  Speaker 9: go-to pass protection, which is mind-boggling. That has come in
• 11:57
  Speaker 9: vogue in football.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: And it shouldn't. It should be like a change.
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: Well, it should be a, we've run a lot of
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: counter and power, and we're going to run this twice
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: on play action.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:08
  Speaker 9: But it's not a play action because all the other
• 12:11
  Speaker 9: linemen stand straight up.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: And you've got one guard pulling.
• 12:15
  Speaker 9: Running five yards behind the line of scrimmage to catch
• 12:17
  Speaker 9: up to the free defender.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know. The game plan looked very non-prepared to me. Again,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: I've only watched the first quarter on the film, but man.
• 12:34
  Speaker 10: I mean, how many illegal motions did they have? How
• 12:37
  Speaker 10: many pre-snap penalties on offense? Dude, starting the game, they
• 12:41
  Speaker 10: weren't mentally ready to play. And not to like, and yeah.
• 12:43
  Speaker 10: I'm not trying to hate, but when we see any
• 12:47
  Speaker 10: team come out of timeout and have a penalty, that,
• 12:56
  Speaker 10: because you don't have the right personnel. You're trying to
• 12:59
  Speaker 10: go big.
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: You're trying to run an extra offensive lineman out there
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: to either play tight end or fullback or something.
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: Everybody's out there. He's not out there. You try to
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: run him on the field late and get a penalty.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: I'd have a timeout. Put that out on the players.
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: So, obviously, a lot to get into. We'll continue talking
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: about it. Highlight some of the moments that we're talking about. Again,
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: many moments in this game. A lot to discuss. We'll
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: get to it when we come back here.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: 80 coaches. We couldn't get that guy on the field.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: Good TV.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: Off the bench.
• 13:41

  Speaker 4: Raising Cane Studio. Our Monday show is brought to you
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: by our friends over at Bayou Automotive, bayouautomotive.com, Ford Chrysler, Dodge.
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: Jeep, and Ram.
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: Reacting to LSU going down in Lexington 35-34, it is
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: now the third straight time LSU has lost in Lexington 07, 21,
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: and 26.
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: Tough place to play. I mean, we can't really say
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: that we lost there.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: I know. That's why I said that.
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: I do think, I mean, it's not going to help anybody.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: I do think Kentucky is a good football team. Still
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: doesn't change the fact that they should have won the game.
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: But they are a good football team. It's not, you know,
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: in 2007, they were good. They were good that year, too.
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: They had pros.
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: I think they're a good football team. You still should
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: not have lost.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: They're a sound football team. I think they're good. They
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: are good.
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: I didn't say they're great by any means. Again, you
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: were gifted the game two different times. You couldn't close out.
• 16:18
  Speaker 8: I mean, he missed two field goals.
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: Yeah. I mean, he said, here, take this.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: But they were long ones though, right?
• 16:25
  Speaker 10: No. That was my biggest concern when we did not
• 16:29
  Speaker 10: go for that fourth down. I'm like, this guy's not
• 16:31
  Speaker 10: missing a third kick. I guess this is not happening.
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: Oh, well, I mean.
• 16:36
  Speaker 9: Hell, I didn't think he missed the second kick. Yeah,
• 16:39
  Speaker 9: I feel like kickers are head cases. I feel like
• 16:41
  Speaker 9: you're more likely to miss the third than you are
• 16:42
  Speaker 9: the first. They like to spiral.
• 16:47
  Speaker 10: Well, I kind of thought there was a chance on
• 16:49
  Speaker 10: the second one because LSU didn't have the ball long.
• 16:51
  Speaker 10: They gave it right back to him. I'm like, he
• 16:54
  Speaker 10: just kicked this ball five minutes ago.
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I went full Brian Kelly when hitting
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: the desk when Sam fumbled that one.
• 17:02
  Speaker 6: I ain't going to lie to you, in the booth.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, in the pocket?
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: I'm like, why are we throwing the football? And what
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: in the world is he doing?
• 17:12
  Speaker 9: Because the linemen were so exhausted from pulling so much
• 17:16
  Speaker 9: and running, they couldn't.
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: No, well, that can be whatever. He jumps up, no
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: ball security, just take the sack. Take the sack, live
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: to play another down. It's going to be third and
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: 10 probably, third and 11. It was second and five. And, yeah,
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: you had Jones open. You were never going to get
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: that football to him. Like, that's just careless with the football.
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: In that moment, you cannot be careless with the football. Like,
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: you take the sack. It's third and 11. You try
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: to pick it up, and you'll punt it back to him.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: You give him the football right back. Now, again, you're lucky.
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: The kicker missed it. Then when you get the ball back,
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: I didn't mind the first quarterback run because you had
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: success with that play.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Don't mind that one.
• 18:01
  Speaker 6: And then the second one, I'm like.
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: All right, guys, hey, y'all got a really good running
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: back in Dylan Jones. I know he hadn't had the
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: biggest day because there hadn't been a lot of room,
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: but the second quarterback run was surprising.
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: And then on third down, I like the play design.
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: You throw it to Watkins, I would have loved to
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: see that be Jackson Harris just because of body size.
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: And in that moment, I think I might have said
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: it on the broadcast, I said, that ball, If all
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: things are right, it's going to number seven. If you've
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: got your full arsenal. That ball would have gone to
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: Trey Dez if he was available in this game. And
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: I say that only to bring up, who's that guy now?
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: For me, it's been Jackson Harris. He's been that guy.
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: And so I was a little bit surprised. And look,
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: it was a great play design. And I love the
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: fact that they actually threw the football and didn't just
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: try to run it again. But you fell a yard short,
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: and then you punted. Well, what a good game for–
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: it wasn't a good game for the offense.
• 19:08
  Speaker 9: It just wasn't. You moved the ball a little bit.
• 19:12
  Speaker 9: You moved the ball here and there.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: They had 40 yards.
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: I mean, they didn't finish anything. But that's not just
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: this game. What did we talk about last– yeah, last
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: week when we were breaking down the tape? We talked
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: about the red zone issues you have. You moved the
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: ball the first drive of the game. fully believe you
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: first drive the game can dictate a lot of that game.
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: You drive it right down the field and then you
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: settle for a field goal.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Oh, you did drive it down the field. I don't know.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: You were in the red area a couple different times. Yeah.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: I just watched that first drive too. It wasn't pretty.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: It wasn't pretty.
• 19:52
  Speaker 9: They made some plays because you had better athletes in
• 19:57
  Speaker 9: some certain spots that made some plays, certainly. And I
• 20:02
  Speaker 9: know you and I both disagree on this fact that
• 20:05
  Speaker 9: I thought the offense was– Decent, you had 400 yards, yeah.
• 20:11
  Speaker 9: Is that up to par with what your season average
• 20:14
  Speaker 9: has been?
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: No. But you couldn't finish anything.
• 20:20
  Speaker 9: It took two special or trick plays to score touchdowns.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: And I know we're on the different sides of that opinion.
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I don't mind trick plays. I'm like,
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: there are plays in your playbook.
• 20:31
  Speaker 9: Trick plays are fine, but when you have to trick
• 20:33
  Speaker 9: Kentucky to score– Because they weren't going to score without
• 20:38
  Speaker 9: those two plays. I mean, you say you got to
• 20:41
  Speaker 9: trick Kentucky.
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: I can tell, like, that team's not that bad for
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: you to say you got to trick Kentucky.
• 20:50
  Speaker 6: I mean, historically, yes. But you had plays in your
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: playbook that were good enough to score.
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: Compared to LSU, yeah. And so you pulled them out.
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: You saw something on tape. I don't have any problem
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: with that.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: I don't have a problem with it either. I'm just saying.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: We weren't scoring touchdowns without them.
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: And that's why you called them.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: I got it.
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: LSU's not been good in the red zone all year.
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: It's not just this game. They got to figure out
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: some things. And, look, again, injuries happen. You don't have
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: maybe the best red zone target in college football outside
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: of maybe Jeremiah Smith.
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: Then trade as green.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: You don't have him.
• 21:36
  Speaker 6: He ain't going to be here for still a minute.
• 21:39
  Speaker 6: Alabama game. You got two more games before that.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: You got to figure out something. So the scheme's good?
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: Is that what you're saying?
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: Whatever it is in the red area, you got to
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: figure it out. The scheme's been good from 20 to 20.
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: It can't be where they were offensively in the country
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: and say it's a bad scheme.
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: The red zone stuff, yes, absolutely.
• 22:09
  Speaker 9: I can say some things are not very sound. And
• 22:12
  Speaker 9: then you have better athletes in places that are making plays.
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: What would you like?
• 22:17
  Speaker 9: Are you saying we should continuously pull the center to
• 22:20
  Speaker 9: block the edge, Rusher?
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: Should we do that more?
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: Listen, I don't love it, but that is in vogue
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: in every level of football.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: It doesn't work.
• 22:30
  Speaker 9: Sam got really exploded while throwing a swing route.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 22:38
  Speaker 6: I never heard it said it exploded.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: It did.
• 22:40
  Speaker 9: You know how many people on their team were faked
• 22:45
  Speaker 9: out by the play action?
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: Everybody else stood straight up?
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: I don't know if you're pulling the guards, and I'm
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: just– I don't know if you're pulling them because they're
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: struggling right now to block. The guard play on Saturday,
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: they were getting big-boyed, straight up, getting big-boyed. I thought
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: Braylon Moore played well and covered some things up for
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: the guards.
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: They did not have a good night. I can tell
• 23:11
  Speaker 6: you that. So I don't know.
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: I don't know if you do that because you're trying
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: to create something different for them. I mean, look, I'm
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: with you. I don't love it, but I see it
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: across football. Hell, my son does it for you high.
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, he's pulling. They're going to run power. No,
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: he's pass blocking. So I don't know if that's why
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: you do it.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Like, that's an issue for this team.
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: The interior offensive line at the guard position is an
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: issue right now. I'm not saying that the tackles were
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: world beaters, but they're better than the guard play right now.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: This is where you talk. I mean, I don't know.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: We just, I think we just... We disagree on....
• 24:08
  Speaker 9: You're just kind of saying it is what it is.
• 24:11
  Speaker 9: And I'm saying, well, it shouldn't be that way. I
• 24:13
  Speaker 9: think you're doing it to try to hide a deficiency
• 24:19
  Speaker 9: a little bit. Okay. To me, that's like, we're having
• 24:24
  Speaker 9: a pass protection issue, so let's block with seven now.
• 24:29
  Speaker 9: It's like you're... Trying to say, it's like LSU last
• 24:33
  Speaker 9: year saying, we don't have the guards to run power,
• 24:35
  Speaker 9: so we're not going to do it. You can't change
• 24:38
  Speaker 9: your scheme and make it unsound because you think you've
• 24:41
  Speaker 9: got a deficiency somewhere.
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: What makes you, and this is not rhetorical, what makes
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: you say it's unsound? What part of it? That's what
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: I'm asking.
• 24:49
  Speaker 9: Full slides and leave edge rushers completely rushing for a
• 24:52
  Speaker 9: lineman that's running to chasing to block an edge rusher
• 24:55
  Speaker 9: that's free off the edge is unsound. Running pass routes
• 25:00
  Speaker 9: and where they're not, looking back and they're just complete
• 25:03
  Speaker 9: decoys is unsound.
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: That happened.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: Surely that happened deep into the game. No, for first 15.
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: Oh, first play.
• 25:14
  Speaker 9: I've seen it a lot this year and it is,
• 25:15
  Speaker 9: and it's kind of weird. And, and I've kind of
• 25:17
  Speaker 9: wrote it off a little bit too. Yes, we, we
• 25:19
  Speaker 9: do believe in different coverages. There's a certain side of
• 25:22
  Speaker 9: the field that's going to get the ball and you
• 25:23
  Speaker 9: are running so fast. You are going so fast offensively
• 25:27
  Speaker 9: that yeah, you, Realistically, if you're not going to get
• 25:32
  Speaker 9: the ball, maybe you kind of try to catch your
• 25:34
  Speaker 9: breath on those types of plays because you are going fast.
• 25:37
  Speaker 9: It is a little different offense than I'm used to.
• 25:39
  Speaker 9: But are they still going? What's the tempo like live watching?
• 25:43
  Speaker 9: It was Saturday in Kentucky. What was the tempo like?
• 25:47
  Speaker 9: How fast were they getting these snaps off? It didn't
• 25:49
  Speaker 9: seem like it was that fast.
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: Not, you know. Not six seconds per play, you know
• 25:57
  Speaker 6: what I'm saying?
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: Not the high tempo. Now it's still fast enough where–
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: Does it make a difference? Because in the past, I
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: feel like– If they don't sub. If they don't sub.
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: I think they sub more than they would like to
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: because they have to. At least in their minds, they
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: feel like they have to with– I'll give you an example.
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: Roman Mothershed is trying to– Look, he actually played pretty well.
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: He was your highest graded player. Not only did he
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: play 19 of the 74, but, like, he's trying to
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: replicate some of what Trey Des Green gave you, right?
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: So him and Zach or Grace are going to, you know,
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: kind of come in and out a little bit. Like,
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: if you had Trey Des Green, then he's in the game.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: So I think the tempo gets messed up a little
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: bit by that because they're kind of trying to piece
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: together something that's not there. Hmm. and I think they
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: would like the receivers to be constant and stay in
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: there for a drive, but it feels like they're subbing
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: them in and out to try to run certain routes
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: or certain plays.
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: That's slowing them down a little bit. Now it's still
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: fast enough.
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: Where I can barely get a word in sometimes because,
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: you know, Chris has got to, hey, spot the ball,
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: set the formation. But to the tempo that I think
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: they want to run, no, I don't think it's as
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: fast as they want to run.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: No, I do not.
• 27:20
  Speaker 8: It doesn't feel as fast as I expected it to be.
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: It's faster than you've done, but no, I agree.
• 27:26
  Speaker 10: I was thinking about this on Thursday. Like, if you
• 27:29
  Speaker 10: would have told me, man, do we miss Trades blocking
• 27:32
  Speaker 10: more than his receiving? Because, like, whenever Zach Grace is in,
• 27:35
  Speaker 10: whenever Mothershed's in, like, teams are picking up on that
• 27:38
  Speaker 10: tendency because Mothershed's a big body, but he's 210 pounds.
• 27:41
  Speaker 10: He's not going to have his hand in the dirt blocking.
• 27:43
  Speaker 10: I mean, Trades Green blocked his ass off the first
• 27:46
  Speaker 10: three games in the running game. You're going to have
• 27:48
  Speaker 10: to have Zach Grace to do that. But then Mothershed's
• 27:50
  Speaker 10: going to try to fill the role in the passing game. Like,
• 27:53
  Speaker 10: we're now learning, like, every down tight end what trade
• 27:56
  Speaker 10: has truly meant to this offense. Because that's what you're
• 27:58
  Speaker 10: talking about. Now they're having to rotate him back in.
• 28:01
  Speaker 10: That slows down things on offense. And now the defense
• 28:03
  Speaker 10: is like, oh, well, Grace is in. Let's see if
• 28:05
  Speaker 10: they're running the ball here. It's a big tendency. It is.
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: And Zach will probably tell you he did not have
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: the best game blocking here either.
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: It's not like.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: You had.
• 28:17
  Speaker 6: Juszczyk in there blocking.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 28:21
  Speaker 6: Like, that's why he's in there, and I didn't think
• 28:23
  Speaker 6: he had his best night.
• 28:23
  Speaker 10: Well, and then I was– when I saw the replay
• 28:26
  Speaker 10: of him being wide open for the touchdown, I'm like, yeah,
• 28:28
  Speaker 10: that makes sense. They haven't been able to connect with
• 28:29
  Speaker 10: him all year.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: It's his first career catch.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 28:32
  Speaker 10: Why would you guard him?
• 28:34
  Speaker 9: I just thought there was a missed opportunity to establish
• 28:38
  Speaker 9: a good running game. You did run the ball. But
• 28:43
  Speaker 9: if you look at the runs that you– like, you
• 28:45
  Speaker 9: never– at least early on, you never try to run
• 28:48
  Speaker 9: downhill at them. You try to run sideline to sideline.
• 28:52
  Speaker 9: You try to jet sweep. You try to run these
• 28:54
  Speaker 9: very expansive and difficult to sort out counters. And then
• 28:58
  Speaker 9: you try to do a wedge on short yardage.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: You just never really attempted to establish a running game.
• 29:07
  Speaker 9: So I don't really think you gave your interior offensive
• 29:10
  Speaker 9: lineman really a chance to.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: Become dominant. Or to try to have a good game downhill.
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: You're trying to block side to side with your linemen
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: instead of forward.
• 29:24
  Speaker 9: And so that's what I saw. So that was a
• 29:26
  Speaker 9: little disappointing. I think in the fourth quarter, Dylan Jones
• 29:29
  Speaker 9: had three carries. One was like a short yardage wedge,
• 29:32
  Speaker 9: and another one was, I think, four yards, and one
• 29:34
  Speaker 9: was seven or eight yards.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: Like then you stopped running them.
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah it's more in the I mean I don't know
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: I was like the run like it was one of
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: those games I don't really know where to tell the
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: running backs to run there was free guys and it
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: was shocking that there I forget what series I'm trying
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: to think what series it was I think it was
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: the second quarter Three straight runs, there was a free
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: defender waiting on the running back.
• 30:05
  Speaker 9: It started in the first quarter. Even some that Sam
• 30:07
  Speaker 9: pulled through, like in an RPO, there was a guy
• 30:10
  Speaker 9: waiting for him. And that's why I was frustrated watching it,
• 30:14
  Speaker 9: just saying they continue to pull so many people. When
• 30:18
  Speaker 9: you pull somebody, there has to be a count. Like
• 30:21
  Speaker 9: the offensive line, tight ends, there's a count from the
• 30:25
  Speaker 9: four down, then you declare a mic, and then you
• 30:28
  Speaker 9: have to start counting all these people. Well, like as
• 30:31
  Speaker 9: people rotate, safeties rotate in the box or they blitz
• 30:35
  Speaker 9: somebody or pressure somebody or a defensive end loops in
• 30:38
  Speaker 9: instead of rushing up the field, the count changes. And
• 30:41
  Speaker 9: when it works, it's beautiful. If everybody's on the same
• 30:44
  Speaker 9: page and they sort it out and they count it
• 30:46
  Speaker 9: out the right way, it's a beautiful thing when those
• 30:49
  Speaker 9: types of plays work. But you got so many people
• 30:52
  Speaker 9: you're depending on seeing it the right way in real time.
• 30:55
  Speaker 9: Like if there's one slip up, there's a free person.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 30:59
  Speaker 9: Because when you pull people, that means there's blockers that
• 31:01
  Speaker 9: are letting people go free because they're trusting that the
• 31:05
  Speaker 9: pullers are going to.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: Come and do the right thing.
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, counter was, I mean, for sure, their lead run.
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: And we're talking about that's double pullers on that.
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: Now, it doesn't have to be offensive linemen.
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: Your second puller can be a number of players. But, yeah,
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: they ran 11 counters of their 34 runs. He also
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: ran three pull leads.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: So, again. Yeah, that's. There was a lot of pullers.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: You're going to have that. And pullers are good. But
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: you got to. You want to do a little bit more.
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: You ran one power.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: All right. This is fun.
• 31:43
  Speaker 8: Went out.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: Went out.
• 31:47
  Speaker 8: The rest of your schedule is not that tough.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: No, it's not at all.
• 31:50
  Speaker 8: You just went out. Ten and two.
• 31:51
  Speaker 6: Let's go. Well, luckily, your tough games are at home.
• 31:54
  Speaker 6: It gives you at least a chance.
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: That's true.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: Because they were on the road. Oof. Sharpie out.
• 31:57
  Speaker 8: Apparently you can't win on the road.
• 31:59
  Speaker 6: No, you can't. Six in a row. Did we lose
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: six road games in our four years?
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know if we lost six games. You lost
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: one your senior year.
• 32:12
  Speaker 10: Year before that.
• 32:13
  Speaker 6: I know I lost that at Auburn twice.
• 32:14
  Speaker 10: To the year before that because Florida and Auburn were
• 32:17
  Speaker 10: on the road.
• 32:17
  Speaker 6: Four games.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: Four road games in four years. That was like half
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: a century ago. I know.
• 32:27
  Speaker 6: That was not to be like back in my day.
• 32:30
  Speaker 6: I was just curious.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: Because we're old.
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: Also, we're stating a standard as well. All right, we'll
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: take a break. More OTB when we come back.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: Off the bench.
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: Off the Bench with Hester and Flynn, presented by Bayou Automotive.
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: All right, welcome back in, OTB. Live from the Raising
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: Gains studio.
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: Again, always want to remind you about Bayou Automotive, bayouautomotive.com.

• 33:34
  Speaker 4: to you right here in the capital city. Go to bayouautomotive.com.
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: So many different branches to this game. We hadn't even
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: talked about Kentucky's first play of the game where you
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: had multiple guys in the same gap.
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: Credit to P.J.
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: Woodland for chasing the guy down and giving you at
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: least a chance to try to make a stop or
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: force a field goal attempt or something. But from the
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: very first play, and this LSU defense was so good
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: against the run all season long, one of the top
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: rush defenses in the country. But from the very first play,
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: it was not sound. You talked about it on offense
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: for LSU.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: Guys blocking air and then a free rusher hits your quarterback.
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: Throw it to the other side. Anytime you have, on defense,
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: anytime you have multiple guys in the same gap, it's
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: not going to go well for you.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: I'm just pulling it up right now. Hell, just wait.
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: If you haven't seen the end zone copy yet. Yeah,
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: and then TJ gets tripped. He's going to make the play.
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: He got tripped by his own guy. But again, God
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: bless you, Alondra. You've got two guys in the same gap.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you do. You've got Vonke. He's rushing up the gap. Yeah,
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: it's not great.
• 34:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah, there's a couple plays. Devon Key's going to want back.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: Yep. I think in this game.
• 34:59
  Speaker 9: This was at least, you know, first play of the game.
• 35:01
  Speaker 9: It was a high-effort mistake here. High effort, yeah. Just
• 35:04
  Speaker 9: a little bit unsound, I'm assuming, by the defensive tackle.
• 35:07
  Speaker 9: I mean, again, you don't really ever know the scheme.
• 35:10
  Speaker 9: But two guys in the same gap. And now he does.
• 35:14
  Speaker 9: They just blocked it well, honestly. They're in the same
• 35:17
  Speaker 9: gap because they blocked him in the same gap.
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: They pushed him in there. They weren't trying. And then.
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: I mean, might as well talk about it while we're
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: talking about gap integrity and alignment and all those different things.
• 35:29
  Speaker 6: I mean, the two-point conversion is going to be talked
• 35:31
  Speaker 6: about for a very, very long time. Nobody in the middle.
• 35:36
  Speaker 9: And it was something that happened earlier in the game, too.
• 35:38
  Speaker 9: It was another conversion where they lined up in the
• 35:40
  Speaker 9: same thing. It happened earlier in the game. I was like, well,
• 35:42
  Speaker 9: they're checking. It's going to be quarterback draw.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean. Four people in the box.
• 35:47
  Speaker 6: I think all four of us in the booth said
• 35:49
  Speaker 6: quarterback draw at the same time.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: Like, whatever.
• 35:53
  Speaker 6: Like, I saw Minchie, like, he saw it. He checked
• 35:56
  Speaker 6: to it.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: And I was like, well, maybe, I don't know, is
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: Tamarcus Cooley going to run down and then Devon's going
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: to run back into the box?
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, surely.
• 36:02
  Speaker 6: Try to disguise a little bit.
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: And then when the ball is snapped and Devon doesn't
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: even look at the quarterback, he looks at the receiver.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: I'm like, oh. Oh, no, we just didn't see that one. Touchdown.
• 36:12
  Speaker 6: And then, I think, no, it was green. It wasn't blocked.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: It was green.
• 36:18
  Speaker 6: He got caught up on his block, and I'm like, oh, it's.
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: The only chance you had was if he fought across
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: the face and tried to get in that run gap.
• 36:26
  Speaker 6: But, again, it's not his responsibility.
• 36:28
  Speaker 9: It would have been a super human play by him.
• 36:31
  Speaker 9: I can tell you there's a lot of people talking
• 36:34
  Speaker 9: about Blake Baker and the defense and all that stuff.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: And a lot of it's because of that play. I
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: get it.
• 36:40
  Speaker 9: You've got a totality of the game to look at.
• 36:43
  Speaker 9: But that's the one that is frustrating. I can tell
• 36:46
  Speaker 9: you from– I've never seen anybody install a defense– Where
• 36:50
  Speaker 9: there's zero linebackers in the box or somebody in the box.
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah. That was a mistake. That's a mental mistake. Overreacting
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: to a five wide situation. Yeah.
• 36:59
  Speaker 9: There's never, no coverage calls for nobody in the box.
• 37:03
  Speaker 9: So that defense was not installed.
• 37:07
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 37:07
  Speaker 9: Is what I'm trying to say. That defense was lined
• 37:12
  Speaker 9: up in mistake. Now they need to correct it because
• 37:15
  Speaker 9: they did the same mistake earlier in the game.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: And he ran a quarterback draw. You have to teach it.
• 37:23
  Speaker 9: And maybe they did. And everybody holds a little responsibility
• 37:27
  Speaker 9: in that. But I can tell you, it wasn't a scheme.
• 37:30
  Speaker 9: Because that is not a defense.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: That, I mean, it wasn't just that play in the overtime.
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: We were talking during the break, the one where Darby
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: catches it on, I guess it would have been third
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: and long in overtime. Yeah. I'm watching it pre-snap, and
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: I see Devon Keyes kind of point to where he's going,
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: kind of like, hey, I got that area.
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, all right.
• 37:57
  Speaker 6: The ball snapped, and I see what Kentucky's trying to do.
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: And I'm like, oh, perfect.
• 38:02
  Speaker 6: Like, this is all playing out in my mind. I'm like, well,
• 38:04
  Speaker 6: Devon just pointed.
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: I know he knows where he's got to go, and
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: I don't know why, but he's a step and a
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: half late.
• 38:12
  Speaker 6: Like, he's, instead of pushing.
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: Yes, instead of pushing to where he just said he
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: knows he's got to go and either at minimum batting
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: the pass down but probably just picking it off and
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: ending the game, he waits for half of a full
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: second maybe and doesn't push, and then Minchie's able to
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: fit it right over his fingertips. That stuff is frustrating
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: because you know what you were supposed to do, I
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: saw you tell the other guys kind of like where
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: you were going to go pre-snap.
• 38:48
  Speaker 7: Diagnose it well. And then you just don't go. Then
• 38:51
  Speaker 7: you just don't go. Those are plays that lose games.
• 38:55
  Speaker 7: Go make the play. Don't be scared to go make
• 38:57
  Speaker 7: the play.
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: Go make the play.
• 38:59
  Speaker 6: You know what you're doing.
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: You pointed it out.
• 39:02
  Speaker 6: Don't second guess yourself. Just go make the play.
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: Can y'all just check on my well-being throughout the day today?
• 39:11
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 39:12
  Speaker 9: Because I've got to break the film down for our
• 39:14
  Speaker 9: film study tomorrow. So just check on me every now
• 39:16
  Speaker 9: and then. Hey, how you doing, bud?
• 39:19
  Speaker 8: I'm going to put a limit on the amount of plays.
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: Oh, thank you.
• 39:22
  Speaker 8: Because I know you're.
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: Gonna that's why i say we do it before the
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: show because that then he will not have the ability.
• 39:30
  Speaker 6: To go full rayman.
• 39:32
  Speaker 9: This is going to be a tough one for me
• 39:35
  Speaker 9: to limit the amount of plays because i'm gonna be
• 39:38
  Speaker 9: again i'm gonna be watching this thing i'm gonna be
• 39:39
  Speaker 9: picking my plays out to talk about be punching air.
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: We're going to do it, though. So just give me
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: this little text every now and then. Be like, hey,
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: how you doing, buddy? Good. Hey, you control your happy,
• 39:51

• 39:58

• 40:01
  Speaker 6: we'll dive into the chat. That's on me. I hadn't
• 40:05
  Speaker 6: had it open.
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: Why, Jake? Are you mad?
• 40:09
  Speaker 6: No reason. It's like no reason. I just didn't have
• 40:11
  Speaker 6: it open. I was looking more at some cut-ups of
• 40:13
  Speaker 6: different stuff.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: Oof.

  Speaker 6: On my computer.

• 41:47
  Speaker 3: Off the bench with Hester and Flynn, presented by Bayou Automotive.
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: All right, welcome back in OTB. Getting to some comments
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: here in the chat. A lot of people talking about
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: the defensive third down where everybody lines up in a
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: line like the old Maryland Eye.
• 42:07
  Speaker 6: Y'all, that ain't new.
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: They've done that for multiple years. I'm not saying it's
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: good or you can love it. It didn't work out
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: this last one. I didn't hate it. I mean, everyone's
• 42:19
  Speaker 4: hating on it because it didn't work.
• 42:21
  Speaker 6: But it's not new.
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: Blake's done that since he's been the defense coordinator here.
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: Go back to– what year are we in?
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: 2026? 2024.
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: It's the first year we're in. At Arkansas, they ran
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: it like seven times that game. It's not new.
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: Again, you can hate it.
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: I'm not saying do you, but I'm just saying it's not.
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: Everybody's acting like they haven't seen that before. Now, it
• 42:43
  Speaker 4: went away a lot last year, but it's certainly been
• 42:46
  Speaker 4: on tape before. It's 3rd and 10. You're trying to
• 42:50
  Speaker 4: create confusion. Is it unsound against the run? Yeah, but
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: it's 3rd and 10.
• 42:55
  Speaker 9: You didn't expect them to run a counter to the left,
• 42:58
  Speaker 9: and then the guy ran it right.
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, it was unlucky a little bit. And they executed.
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: You didn't expect counter, though, on third and ten. That's
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying. I do.
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: Like, I do wonder if, like, Joe Sloan saw that
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: and if there was a check. I don't think so
• 43:16
  Speaker 4: because of the way the run played out. Yeah, if
• 43:19
  Speaker 4: it had been a different run, maybe. Yeah, I don't
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: think there was. I don't think I saw it.
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: He got caught. Yeah. So, indictment on the offensive coordinator.
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: Shouldn't have run a counter there.
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: Bailed out.
• 43:36
  Speaker 6: I had a lot of people talking about 11 a.m.
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: Game.
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: That's right. I made an insult to injury. Two in
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: a row. It's at home now. Auburn's going to be
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: 11 a.m. too.
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: I didn't say, Drew, don't be dumb. I didn't say
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: it was okay. I'm just saying he's done it before.
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: It's not my favorite thing, but he's done it before.
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: I literally said that. It's not the first time. A
• 44:04
