Latest / Bleacher Report / Louisville Is The Last Team You Want Your Team to Play Right Now
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: And when you look at Louisville, I think it starts
- 0:02Speaker 1: with Keen Holtz. You've seen him and you've seen him
- 0:05Speaker 1: make plays, but I want to show the ground game first.
- 0:09Speaker 2: And it's Brown and Brown. What can Brown do for you? Okay,
- 0:12Speaker 2: like these guys make plays.
- 0:14Speaker 1: So Keen Holtz, the QB, Lincoln Keen Holtz, remember he
- 0:16Speaker 1: comes over from Ohio State. I mean, this guy at
- 0:19Speaker 1: Ohio State in that offense, holy cow.
- 0:21Speaker 2: It would be, oh my gosh. I'm surprised he let
- 0:23Speaker 2: him get away.
- 0:23Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean, obviously Julian Sane is not bad.
- 0:26Speaker 1: But watch the ability now when you watch Brown. So
- 0:30Speaker 1: Keen Holtz can run it at any given time. So
- 0:33Speaker 1: that has people pause. Keen Holtz can throw it. So
- 0:36Speaker 1: it causes so much up front for these guys to
- 0:38Speaker 1: hesitate on the line.
- 0:40Speaker 2: Of scrimmage and pause. But watch Brown. Like, breaks two–
- 0:43Speaker 2: and look at this. I'm not going out of bounds. Like,
- 0:46Speaker 2: slow you up. This is disrespectful. Yes, it is. Hold that.
- 0:50Speaker 1: Like, so Brown– like, Brown's ability to make people miss,
- 0:54Speaker 1: Brown's ability to make plays. By the way, that's Kiwan Brown. So,
- 0:58Speaker 1: if we go back– Now we can go to Isaac Brown.
- 1:03Speaker 1: It's going to look really familiar. So when you got
- 1:05Speaker 1: a couple of guys in the backfield that can do this,
- 1:07Speaker 1: this should not be a touchdown.
- 1:09Speaker 2: But watch what this does now too. Like this is
- 1:11Speaker 2: a stretch.
- 1:12Speaker 1: So Brown's going this direction. Everybody's zone blocking all up front.
- 1:16Speaker 1: So now you got to make a decision. Do you
- 1:18Speaker 1: want to play fast? If you want to play fast,
- 1:21Speaker 1: I can now, first of all, Keen Holtz and his
- 1:23Speaker 1: ability to run is always going to hold the backside
- 1:25Speaker 1: and make him hesitate for just a second.
- 1:27Speaker 2: So what that does is create a little crease.
- 1:30Speaker 1: And look at Brown, man. I mean, zung, and he gone.
- 1:33Speaker 1: He hit his head on the goalpost. So he is
- 1:36Speaker 1: absolutely incredible. Now this is where when you watched him
- 1:41Speaker 1: week one versus Ole Miss, you saw a lot of misses.
- 1:43Speaker 1: This is where he's cleaning this up. Richardson, you saw
- 1:46Speaker 1: last year at Vanderbilt.
- 1:47Speaker 2: Speed Demon. Now, I got Brown and Brown. I got
- 1:50Speaker 2: Keen Holtz that can run.
- 1:51Speaker 1: I have all these toys, along with Jeff Brom, who's
- 1:53Speaker 1: one of the best play callers in all of college football.
- 1:55Speaker 2: Now what? I'm going to make you play. Man, you
- 1:57Speaker 2: better commit some guys to the box. Get here. This
- 2:00Speaker 2: is where Keen Holtz keeps doing this, and you're in trouble.
- 2:03Speaker 2: This is first and 20. Let that thing ride. Look
- 2:06Speaker 2: at the placement of it. Richardson can fly. Tough to
- 2:10Speaker 2: play him one-on-one. Look at that. In strike. In the bucket.
- 2:13Speaker 2: Dropping in the bucket.
- 2:15Speaker 1: But I'm going to show you that.
- 2:17Speaker 2: So we've shown you that. We've shown you that. Now.
- 2:21Speaker 2: This is just stupid, okay? This is playing above the
- 2:25Speaker 2: X's and the O's. Brahma I talked about is a
- 2:27Speaker 2: great coach. You got Brown. You got Brown. You got Richardson.
- 2:29Speaker 1: You got all these things that is really, really good.
- 2:31Speaker 1: How about when I dial up the perfect defense?
- 2:33Speaker 2: I just dialed up. This is the perfect defense.
- 2:35Speaker 1: You'll watch this guy coming off the edge, like unblocked,
- 2:39Speaker 1: did a good job actually kind of hiding it.
- 2:43Speaker 2: Watch him. Coming off the edge.
- 2:44Speaker 1: Okay. Keen Holtz knows he's right there. One of his
- 2:49Speaker 1: best attributes is feeling people near his body.
- 2:52Speaker 2: So watch. He's sitting there.
- 2:54Speaker 1: If he pulls the ball down and starts to run
- 2:55Speaker 1: right now, that guy is going to break down and
- 2:58Speaker 1: make the tackle.
- 2:58Speaker 2: He should make that play every time. He should. But
- 3:01Speaker 2: watch him. He's baiting him.
- 3:02Speaker 1: He's going to let him come in and get close
- 3:06Speaker 1: to him. He's going to let him get close to him.
- 3:08Speaker 1: Chambliss does this too. He's going to let him get
- 3:11Speaker 1: close to him because watch. Now I'm big and strong.
- 3:13Speaker 1: I'm just going to shrug you off. And this defensive
- 3:17Speaker 1: coordinator is saying, you're supposed to hold contain.
- 3:20Speaker 2: Bro, I got Brown. I got Brown.
- 3:22Speaker 1: I got Richardson, Speed, Palooza, all this stuff to look at.
- 3:25Speaker 1: I called the right play.
- 3:27Speaker 2: I just scrambled. Look at this stupid pass. Are you
- 3:31Speaker 2: kidding me? My goodness.
- 3:33Speaker 1: Like, so all of these things combining together, Louisville's offense
- 3:39Speaker 1: is going to be an absolute pain in the butt.
- 3:40Speaker 1: We're in week three. Braum has never had a mobile quarterback.
- 3:44Speaker 1: He's always had a guy that's a statue. Now he's
- 3:47Speaker 1: got this?
- 3:47Speaker 2: He's going to have a lot more fun. Like, a
- 3:50Speaker 2: lot more fun.
- 3:51Speaker 1: And they're just going to continue to grow and get better.
