- 0:32Speaker 1: episode of the Sooner or Later Sports Show. Me and
- 0:34Speaker 1: Coop got a lot of great things to talk about.
- 0:35Speaker 1: Number one on the list, Oklahoma won a game. And
- 0:40Speaker 1: I'm not even going to lie, the offense actually exploded.
- 0:43Speaker 1: We're going to talk about all the injuries and stuff
- 0:45Speaker 1: that's been going on and hopefully we get some sort
- 0:48Speaker 1: of an update. We're also going to dive into the
- 0:51Speaker 1: craziness of college football because firings have already happened. Biggest
- 0:55Speaker 1: question is, will Oklahoma see anything different when it comes
- 0:59Speaker 1: to that? Shout out to our partners there at PrizePix.

- 1:07Speaker 1: a little bit later in the show. But guess what, guys?
- 1:11Speaker 1: The Sooners won a game. Coop! Happy Sunday, my boy.
- 1:15Speaker 1: How you doing?
- 1:17Speaker 2: Good. Good, good, good. Lots of soccer, lots of football
- 1:20Speaker 2: this weekend.
- 1:22Speaker 1: Football.
- 1:23Speaker 2: Some good NFL happening right now, too. A little thunder tonight, so.
- 1:29Speaker 2: If you like sports, this is happy time.
- 1:32Speaker 1: It really is. You actually got some thunder later on
- 1:35Speaker 1: in a bit. I think we're about to start while
- 1:36Speaker 1: we're about to start recording. But the most important thing
- 1:38Speaker 1: to talk about now is, Coop, we won. Went up
- 1:43Speaker 1: to start Vegas. We survived the Cowbells. We just pulled
- 1:46Speaker 1: this game off 23-15. I'm going to go ahead and
- 1:49Speaker 1: pull these up for y'all right now. Statistically, this was
- 1:53Speaker 1: Oklahoma's best game ever in the SEC. granted you played
- 1:56Speaker 1: against a really bad defense and it was exactly what
- 1:58Speaker 1: you hoped it would be. You should have probably won
- 2:00Speaker 1: 31 to like nothing or 31, three or seven. Uh,
- 2:05Speaker 1: but that fourth quarter, you kind of started to the
- 2:09Speaker 1: third and fourth, you kind of fell apart a little bit.
- 2:12Speaker 1: And I'm gonna chalk this up to what Brent Venable
- 2:15Speaker 1: said after the game. And I mentioned it on my
- 2:18Speaker 1: morning after video, but I didn't realize, um, I, I
- 2:24Speaker 1: didn't realize that it was this big of a deal.
- 2:27Speaker 1: So for those, for the uninitiated, BV missed the press
- 2:31Speaker 1: conference on Tuesday and they said it was like symptoms.
- 2:35Speaker 1: So I'm, you know, I'm out of town working and I,
- 2:38Speaker 1: and I see that come across the socials. Um, cause
- 2:41Speaker 1: I wasn't going to be able to make it really
- 2:42Speaker 1: any videos while I was traveling for work. And I
- 2:45Speaker 1: saw that and I was like, Oh, okay. So he's
- 2:47Speaker 1: avoiding the media after that damn Kentucky fall apart.
- 2:49Speaker 3: Right?
- 2:49Speaker 1: Like that's a good, good reason. Makes sense.
- 2:51Speaker 3: Right.
- 2:51Speaker 1: I don't want to talk to y'all. Because y'all going
- 2:53Speaker 1: to have the same dumb question. Y'all going to fire
- 2:54Speaker 1: a coach. You're going to get rid of this. You're
- 2:55Speaker 1: going to do that. Ain't nothing that can be answered, right? Like,
- 2:57Speaker 1: I feel the beat. I understand what they're going to ask.
- 3:00Speaker 1: But at the same time, you ain't getting no changes
- 3:02Speaker 1: until the season ends, right? Well, then he talked about
- 3:05Speaker 1: at the end of the game that the flu was
- 3:06Speaker 1: going through everybody. They were popping pills on the bus,
- 3:09Speaker 1: getting IVs. I was like, oh, that's why they looked slow. Like,
- 3:16Speaker 1: the entire team looked like they were kind of going
- 3:18Speaker 1: in a slight slow motion. But it also looked like
- 3:21Speaker 1: we were moving in a way to where everything looked
- 3:24Speaker 1: really easy for us. And so when I'm watching that,
- 3:28Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, I know that Michael Pasuzzi ain't
- 3:31Speaker 1: that impactful. Granted, he was the MVP of that entire
- 3:35Speaker 1: game because the minute he got out there, your offense
- 3:38Speaker 1: looked competent. I'm like the rest of you. I'm not satisfied,
- 3:42Speaker 1: but you saw a completely different look. Like Mateer looked comfortable.
- 3:44Speaker 1: He wasn't rushing. He wasn't panicking. When he needed to scramble,
- 3:48Speaker 1: he would scramble out and make a play. It felt
- 3:50Speaker 1: like clarity completely hit him. It's like he got like
- 3:54Speaker 1: LASIK because Michael Fasuzzi was out there on the left tackle.
- 3:58Speaker 1: Straight up. Well, from there, when BV said at the
- 4:01Speaker 1: end of the game all these dudes were sick, I
- 4:03Speaker 1: was like, oh, okay, that's why they were gassed in
- 4:04Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. That's why they looked like they just
- 4:07Speaker 1: were barely moving or getting in the right spots. Half
- 4:10Speaker 1: your team was going through the bug. And so if
- 4:13Speaker 1: you're getting IVs and stuff, yeah, kind of makes sense.
- 4:16Speaker 1: So with that being said, Sooners won the game, 467 yards,
- 4:21Speaker 1: something they haven't done before. Coop, how did you feel
- 4:23Speaker 1: about this offensive performance in this game?
- 4:29Speaker 3: Maybe this is controversial, so tag this, 605. This is
- 4:35Speaker 3: one of those wins that it kind of feels like
- 4:39Speaker 3: you slept with your cousin type of a situation.
- 4:42Speaker 2: No, no, no, no. It just didn't. Like, the whole game, like,
- 4:49Speaker 2: every time you start it, it feels good.
- 4:50Speaker 1: Who knows what that feels like?
- 4:52Speaker 2: I don't.
- 4:52Speaker 3: Ew.
- 4:53Speaker 2: Topher. Topher. Wow. Just kidding, Topher. Just kidding, Topher. Fight him, Topher.
- 4:59Speaker 1: Fight him.
- 5:00Speaker 3: No, like, you know, so my kid had a game
- 5:04Speaker 3: in Norman, so it was crazy to be in Norman,
- 5:07Speaker 3: but not actually.
- 5:08Speaker 2: Be there for the game.
- 5:10Speaker 3: So we went to go eat, just her and I,
- 5:15Speaker 3: and so we went to go eat at– Olive Garden
- 5:19Speaker 3: and a proud father moment. We're like watching the game
- 5:21Speaker 3: while eating. And she just, she, and I was like, here,
- 5:24Speaker 3: let's turn it off. Let's watch, you know, let's just
- 5:26Speaker 3: enjoy each other. And she's like, no, let's watch the game.
- 5:28Speaker 2: So I was like, all right, cool.
- 5:30Speaker 3: So, and then driving on the way home, get to
- 5:32Speaker 3: hear a little Toby action. But yeah, you know, my five,
- 5:36Speaker 3: I kind of went with five on each side of
- 5:39Speaker 3: the ball. Obviously for Susie being back, I watched through
- 5:43Speaker 3: going back through the watch, like You know, looking at
- 5:46Speaker 3: him because the last time we saw him, he's blocking
- 5:49Speaker 3: folks with one arm, like barely able to lift it.
- 5:51Speaker 3: So I was watching everything, just trying to see if
- 5:54Speaker 3: I saw any of that.
- 5:56Speaker 2: And I didn't.
- 5:57Speaker 3: I saw him finishing blocks. I saw him really playing
- 6:00Speaker 3: just incredibly, you know, calm, clear. He just was playing
- 6:06Speaker 3: with a lot of fluidity. So absolutely love that. John,
- 6:10Speaker 3: the difference between beginning of the Georgia game and then
- 6:15Speaker 3: this game, was significant. Both of the games John was
- 6:18Speaker 3: playing in a fashion to where it looked like he
- 6:21Speaker 3: maybe had training wheels or didn't want to make the mistake.
- 6:24Speaker 2: But the Georgia one just looked like he wasn't playing football.
- 6:27Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 6:29Speaker 3: On Saturday, yesterday, John looked like he had finally, like,
- 6:35Speaker 3: you know, he dropped the saying afterwards, you know, forgiven himself.
- 6:39Speaker 2: Like, it looked like that.
- 6:41Speaker 3: It looked like he was saying, you know what, if
- 6:43Speaker 3: I make a mistake, and it's the right call and
- 6:45Speaker 3: I make a mistake, it's going to be okay.
- 6:48Speaker 2: That being said, he just played with, yeah.
- 6:52Speaker 3: But in his mind, but in a good way. Like
- 6:55Speaker 3: I could take off running, yeah, but there's a check down.
- 6:58Speaker 3: The amount of times that he checked the ball down
- 7:00Speaker 3: to the running back, I mean, it was magical. I
- 7:05Speaker 3: was looking for that because Gabe and Teddy talked about
- 7:07Speaker 3: where they really got gashed in previous games. And that
- 7:13Speaker 3: seemed to be what the offense really did. The offense
- 7:16Speaker 3: and Ben Arbuckle and John Mateer and everybody really looked
- 7:19Speaker 3: like they saw stuff on film and they were going
- 7:22Speaker 3: to try to exploit it, which was awesome because we
- 7:25Speaker 3: haven't seen that a lot.
- 7:28Speaker 1: We haven't at all.
- 7:29Speaker 3: Yeah, but that being said, him and Satania just looked
- 7:32Speaker 3: like they said, we could go do a lot of
- 7:34Speaker 3: good stuff this game and let's go do it, and
- 7:36Speaker 3: they did. So shout out Mateer, Satania, Rocky Beers, except
- 7:40Speaker 3: for thinking that he's a high jumper. Torrey Blaylock, longest
- 7:45Speaker 3: run of the season. You know, obviously Torrey looks as
- 7:49Speaker 3: close to healthy as I think I've seen him in
- 7:51Speaker 3: quite a long time. And then Fasusi. I mean, that
- 7:54Speaker 3: was just a great, you know, you got your quarterback
- 7:56Speaker 3: looks good, an offensive line looks good, running back looks good,
- 8:00Speaker 3: wide receiver looks good, tight end looks good. That's why
- 8:02Speaker 3: we saw a competent game for most of the game.
- 8:06Speaker 1: Let's stick to that. First off on the material piece,
- 8:09Speaker 1: 22 for 29, 283, two touchdowns. That was one of
- 8:13Speaker 1: his better P4 performances. I think he's thinking for like
- 8:16Speaker 1: 300 yards against Alabama in the playoffs. So I know
- 8:19Speaker 1: he did for 300 against LSU. But 22 for 29,
- 8:22Speaker 1: seven incompletions the entire time. He started the game three
- 8:26Speaker 1: straight passes through two incompletions. He went on a seven
- 8:29Speaker 1: pass streak through an incompletion through a seven pass streak.
- 8:33Speaker 1: And then at the end, it kind of looked, you know,
- 8:35Speaker 1: every other. But you did start seeing them take shots, right?
- 8:42Speaker 1: I think that's what also made me pretty happy. Third
- 8:46Speaker 1: and six, he threw that 48-yarder to Satania. Satania caught
- 8:50Speaker 1: the little teardrop. And I totally get the point Sean
- 8:54Speaker 1: here in the comments. Going for deep routes on third
- 8:59Speaker 1: and seven, third and six. Totally understand you on that.
- 9:04Speaker 1: But he completed them. Like you had one where... You
- 9:10Speaker 1: had people on the short route as well on top
- 9:13Speaker 1: of the deep, and you're also up a big amount.
- 9:15Speaker 1: They were getting some of those quote-unquote practice plays in.
- 9:18Speaker 1: The 54-yarder was on third and six. The 48-yarder was
- 9:22Speaker 1: on third and six. You had some plays where you.
- 9:27Speaker 1: They were out there at least throwing some passes, right?
- 9:30Speaker 1: They were actually making attempts. Because that was actually funny
- 9:33Speaker 1: because John, John Williams with Locked On Sooners, that was
- 9:37Speaker 1: one of his things he kept pointing out. We talked
- 9:39Speaker 1: about it in the Discord. He wanted them to go deep.
- 9:41Speaker 1: And I'm just like, I'd rather them just keep the
- 9:43Speaker 1: short game going. Short game was working. Just stay consistent
- 9:45Speaker 1: with that. We ain't got to try to do a
- 9:47Speaker 1: whole bunch of big stuff. But then we started to
- 9:48Speaker 1: do more. And you're like, oh, okay, never mind.
- 9:51Speaker 2: Right?
- 9:51Speaker 1: You get the Satania 36-yard touchdown on first and 10,
- 9:54Speaker 1: which– Thank goodness we threw the ball. And I think
- 9:56Speaker 1: that was a good time to throw. And John made
- 9:59Speaker 1: an amazing play. He saw the opening. Fasusi did a
- 10:03Speaker 1: great job of blocking the dude out, the edge that
- 10:06Speaker 1: was going on the outside. He kept him out. John
- 10:09Speaker 1: broke off of it, cut across, saw what it looked like.
- 10:11Speaker 1: And I'm going to be honest. I'm still confused because...
- 10:18Speaker 1: That dark shadow thingy they had going on was weird.
- 10:23Speaker 1: I couldn't see any of the black jerseys. It felt
- 10:26Speaker 1: like they were hidden.
- 10:29Speaker 2: It did.
- 10:30Speaker 1: And I was cracking up. I'm like, are they in
- 10:32Speaker 1: camo or something? You can't see anything. But besides that point,
- 10:37Speaker 1: John saw Satania on basically the scramble drill. Satania came up,
- 10:41Speaker 1: made that catch, boom, and was gone. We need more
- 10:45Speaker 1: of that. Then the second touchdown before the, no, in
- 10:50Speaker 1: the third quarter, after the Blalock break, thank you to
- 10:53Speaker 1: Fasuzi because it went to the left side again. Fasuzi
- 10:55Speaker 1: goes in, the guy's pulls, a great pull play on
- 10:58Speaker 1: that one. But John looks to the sideline, like he
- 11:04Speaker 1: looks over there. He does a baseball motion, home run,
- 11:08Speaker 1: home run, home run. And so he straight checks up
- 11:12Speaker 1: the play. Sees him, makes that motion. I'm like, okay,
- 11:15Speaker 1: he's about to burn him. He sees something. And like
- 11:18Speaker 1: you said, taking advantage of what you've seen. He saw something.
- 11:22Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 11:23Speaker 1: Hiked the ball, threw it to Rocky Beards across the
- 11:25Speaker 1: middle with a perfect pass for a touchdown. That is
- 11:31Speaker 1: what I've been wanting to see more of. This was
- 11:33Speaker 1: probably his best throwing game of the season. Of hitting
- 11:40Speaker 1: guys and spots and everything. This, the right behind that
- 11:44Speaker 1: is the 19 seconds versus Texas and hitting Satania on
- 11:47Speaker 1: those two beautiful throws. I feel like the confidence is
- 11:52Speaker 1: slowly getting back. Problem is it's coming slow. I'd appreciate
- 11:55Speaker 1: if it would hurry up. But from there, your running
- 12:00Speaker 1: game contributed. You ran for 180, 84 yards. Isn't that
- 12:08Speaker 1: what we wanted?
- 12:09Speaker 3: I asked for four and a half to five and
- 12:11Speaker 3: a half yards. You go for that, and this is
- 12:14Speaker 3: the first time that we've seen it since... I mean,
- 12:20Speaker 3: when versus an actual P4 team, when's the last time
- 12:25Speaker 3: we saw this? I got to think it had to
- 12:27Speaker 3: be Eric Gray at some point. So this was a
- 12:30Speaker 3: good one. And I think that we had potentially more
- 12:34Speaker 3: you know, that we left out there. So there's, you know,
- 12:36Speaker 3: this is, this is the type of game that we're
- 12:38Speaker 3: at the end of it. You look at it and
- 12:40Speaker 3: you go, man, we really left a lot out there. Like,
- 12:43Speaker 3: cause I feel like there's more meat on the bone
- 12:46Speaker 3: for this team. And if you look at the score
- 12:48Speaker 3: at the end, you know, it may have looked like
- 12:50Speaker 3: a pretty tight game, but at the end, you know,
- 12:53Speaker 3: BPU started rolling out backups out there. Cause I think,
- 12:56Speaker 3: you know, at one point after the Peyton Bowen interception,
- 12:58Speaker 3: I saw Bowen and RP3 both on the sidelines.
- 13:01Speaker 1: So, You had– Those were injuries, though. Bowen got hurt
- 13:05Speaker 1: on his interception. RP3 got hurt a few plays before that.
- 13:09Speaker 1: I think he's got something with his thigh. But he
- 13:12Speaker 1: had a wrap on, and he was out of the game, unfortunately. So, yeah,
- 13:15Speaker 1: you had some injuries, too, to go with it.
- 13:17Speaker 3: And you had several different guys in there. You had
- 13:20Speaker 3: Jeremiah Newcomb was in there. So, great to see Jeremiah Newcomb.
- 13:23Speaker 2: Healthy.
- 13:24Speaker 3: But all of that to say this is, you know,
- 13:27Speaker 3: the two big runs, you had one by Torrey. You
- 13:30Speaker 3: had a couple, you know, a 20-yarder by Lloyd Avant.
- 13:33Speaker 3: Those all look good. There was one that we hadn't
- 13:35Speaker 3: had that looked pretty good, and it got called back. But,
- 13:39Speaker 3: you know, again, you get competent offensive linemen out there,
- 13:43Speaker 3: and that's going to happen.
- 13:44Speaker 2: Also healthy.
- 13:45Speaker 3: I think Fasusi is probably the healthiest guy on the
- 13:49Speaker 3: line at the moment, and that looks great. So all
- 13:52Speaker 3: that to say, is there was a good mixture. There
- 13:55Speaker 3: was a lot. And I know that typically when you watch,
- 14:00Speaker 3: I have to go back and think of how I
- 14:03Speaker 3: felt on some of the years where we had a
- 14:07Speaker 3: second and three or a third and three with any
- 14:10Speaker 3: of the big quarterbacks, any of the big offenses, and
- 14:13Speaker 3: we would go for a bomb when I'm like, nobody's
- 14:15Speaker 3: stopping anything under 10 yards. Let's just move the ball
- 14:18Speaker 3: down the field and let's just keep going. So I
- 14:21Speaker 3: was okay with some of the bombs downfield, Because when
- 14:25Speaker 3: anything that happened, whether it was a catch or whether
- 14:28Speaker 3: it was an overthrow, you started seeing the safeties drop back.
- 14:32Speaker 3: And they went to a lot of cover one looks
- 14:35Speaker 3: when they were trying to bring pressure. But as we
- 14:38Speaker 3: were taking advantage of the underneath stuff, the check downs
- 14:41Speaker 3: and things like that, you started seeing a safety or
- 14:43Speaker 3: a linebacker, instead of dropping, they were kind of staying pat.
- 14:46Speaker 3: And that's when we started going deep. So you got
- 14:49Speaker 3: to do that. Otherwise, they're going to start jumping routes
- 14:52Speaker 3: and slants like you saw Cortland Guillory do on defense
- 14:57Speaker 3: towards the end of the game. You know, they got
- 14:59Speaker 3: an easy slant at one point because we were back
- 15:01Speaker 3: to 10 yards. And then when the Mike Stoops defense
- 15:04Speaker 3: on second and short or third and short, you know,
- 15:06Speaker 3: we were way off. They got one on Tristan and
- 15:08Speaker 3: they threw it back on the other side of Cortland. And,
- 15:10Speaker 3: you know, Cortland wasn't going to let that play. Cortland
- 15:12Speaker 3: was like, oh, I'll play eight yards off, but I'm
- 15:15Speaker 3: going to put a competitive, you know, break on the
- 15:17Speaker 3: ball if they even look over here.
- 15:19Speaker 2: And he did.
- 15:20Speaker 3: So that being said, like, I just love how the
- 15:22Speaker 3: offense worked. you know, it's a step up. Like this is,
- 15:26Speaker 3: you go on the road and it seems like the
- 15:28Speaker 3: team just happens to play a little bit better on
- 15:31Speaker 3: the road, you know, just because they can get out,
- 15:33Speaker 3: get out of the way. Maybe it was good for
- 15:36Speaker 3: them to do that this game. But yeah, I mean,
- 15:38Speaker 3: like I said, Mateer, Satania, Beers, Blaylock, Vasusi, like, you know,
- 15:42Speaker 3: bravo to those guys.
- 15:44Speaker 1: That's what you wanted. And I get that people want
- 15:47Speaker 1: to complain in the comments and say, oh, we struggled
- 15:50Speaker 1: against the team. We beat an SEC team. that was
- 15:54Speaker 1: running through some good teams in the conference. Like they
- 15:56Speaker 1: beat up on South Carolina. Who's been upsetting teams lately.
- 15:59Speaker 1: They took it to Missouri in a very good game. Uh,
- 16:03Speaker 1: they had a game going Alabama and then Camario gets hurt,
- 16:06Speaker 1: but Camario actually got hurt against Missouri. Uh, They lost
- 16:10Speaker 1: their starting quarterback, and they didn't have their running back
- 16:14Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks, and they finally got him back.
- 16:16Speaker 1: And Fluff had a good game. Fluff is a very
- 16:18Speaker 1: good running back in the conference. Their defense isn't great.
- 16:23Speaker 1: I 100% agree with that. But we still put up
- 16:26Speaker 1: 480-something yards on them. You're supposed to do that against
- 16:29Speaker 1: bad defenses. Guess what? We did something that we haven't
- 16:32Speaker 1: done all season. So I agree with my guy, Sean.
- 16:35Speaker 1: It's kind of one of those you kind of be
- 16:37Speaker 1: happy with the fact that you actually did something that
- 16:39Speaker 1: you were supposed to do. Granted, it should have been
- 16:43Speaker 1: 31 because that Rocky Beers play was a touchdown.
- 16:47Speaker 2: It was a touchdown.
- 16:47Speaker 1: That was a touchdown. I don't know why BV didn't
- 16:51Speaker 1: challenge it. Maybe they told him that he couldn't challenge it.
- 16:54Speaker 1: I have seen that before in situations where they're like, no,
- 16:56Speaker 1: it's not challengeable. But that was stupid. That was stupid
- 16:58Speaker 1: on the refs. The refs see him do this. He
- 17:01Speaker 1: tucks it. He turns. And then they swat it and
- 17:03Speaker 1: they call it. It's like that doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Granted,
- 17:07Speaker 1: Rocky probably should have been a lot stronger with holding
- 17:10Speaker 1: the ball. But that was a touchdown. Like you got
- 17:14Speaker 1: bamboozled by the refs there.
- 17:16Speaker 3: I went back because I was like, come on, Rocky.
- 17:20Speaker 3: Do what you're supposed to do. Secure the ball. He
- 17:23Speaker 3: catches the ball and his both feet come down. He's
- 17:26Speaker 3: in the end zone. Typically, that's it. The guy makes
- 17:30Speaker 3: a swipe at the ball and it comes out. There
- 17:32Speaker 3: was no conversation. There was no let's look at it.
- 17:36Speaker 3: It didn't get rang up from the top. I don't
- 17:39Speaker 3: know really what to say about that.
- 17:41Speaker 2: Nope. Rocky did.
- 17:45Speaker 3: As much as I say I want to call him
- 17:46Speaker 3: out for having a great game, he could have had
- 17:49Speaker 3: a touchdown. We were driving the ball very, very successfully
- 17:52Speaker 3: when he tried his hurdle, which obviously.
- 17:55Speaker 1: Is just– It was cute the first time when you
- 17:58Speaker 1: were going for a touchdown, but you don't do that
- 18:00Speaker 1: in a group of people.
- 18:01Speaker 2: No, no, no.
- 18:02Speaker 3: There's like three or four people right there, and you're
- 18:05Speaker 3: still a good five yards off from the sideline. So, like,
- 18:07Speaker 3: let's calm down on that stuff. But, you know, while
- 18:10Speaker 3: I talk about our offense, I do want to point out, like,
- 18:13Speaker 3: Shout out to the ex-Sooners on the other side. Reagan's
- 18:17Speaker 3: had himself a pretty decent game. Happy to see Kendall
- 18:21Speaker 3: Dolby out there running around making plays. He made a
- 18:24Speaker 3: big run down on the sideline to track somebody down.
- 18:28Speaker 3: There was a lot of the old Sooners. Pretty happy
- 18:33Speaker 3: to see. I sure would love to have Anthony Evans
- 18:36Speaker 3: on this team. Wish he would have stuck with OU
- 18:38Speaker 3: instead of going to Georgia, but You kind of got Satania,
- 18:42Speaker 3: which is just slightly slower than Anthony Evans.
- 18:44Speaker 2: But all that to say, it was great.
- 18:48Speaker 3: And every single thing, even before Kamario Taylor went out,
- 18:52Speaker 3: you saw Kamario standing in the pocket. He was never
- 18:57Speaker 3: taken off. I think Kamario, when I saw the game's
- 19:02Speaker 3: first couple stats, I knew Kamario's not making it through
- 19:05Speaker 3: this entire game. He's just not going to. There's going
- 19:08Speaker 3: to be something. to where he's scrambling out to the right.
- 19:10Speaker 3: Somebody is going to grab him by the ankles and
- 19:12Speaker 3: tackle him and it's going to be over. And that's
- 19:14Speaker 3: eventually what ended up happening. So I, you know, I
- 19:17Speaker 3: disagree wholeheartedly with you guys in the comments. Like if
- 19:20Speaker 3: Camario would have stayed in the game, I mean, that's
- 19:22Speaker 3: a shell of that player. Yeah.
- 19:24Speaker 1: He wasn't going to be that good.
- 19:25Speaker 2: He, it was, if anything, it would have.
- 19:28Speaker 3: Been more, more catastrophic. And, you know, they got to
- 19:30Speaker 3: a point where they just really had nothing to lose. So,
- 19:32Speaker 3: all that to say this is it was, it was good.
- 19:35Speaker 3: I mean, you go, you play the team in front
- 19:37Speaker 3: of you, whatever circumstances happen, you know, nobody would have
- 19:40Speaker 3: been like, yeah, well, Sooners played a really good game,
- 19:43Speaker 3: but material got hurt at the end of the year
- 19:44Speaker 3: at the end of the game. And, and, you know,
- 19:46Speaker 3: Mississippi state came back and won. So, you know, we
- 19:49Speaker 3: won't count that. Like, we, we wouldn't think that way. Oh,
- 19:52Speaker 3: you lost somehow. So let's just enjoy the win because
- 19:56Speaker 3: you know, there's this, this seems like one of those years.
- 19:59Speaker 3: You just enjoy every single win when they put together
- 20:02Speaker 3: things that are good.
- 20:03Speaker 1: Nothing wrong with enjoying the fact that you actually won
- 20:05Speaker 1: the game and you executed offensively like you're supposed to.
- 20:09Speaker 1: That is like the entire point of this entire rant, conversation, everything.
- 20:12Speaker 1: They actually did what they're supposed to do. The offense
- 20:15Speaker 1: was moving the ball. You had a 96-yard drive, 14 plays,
- 20:17Speaker 1: 96 yards. Cool. We haven't had very many of those
- 20:22Speaker 1: this year. I think we had like one or two
- 20:24Speaker 1: this year. Every time you get one of those, you
- 20:27Speaker 1: kind of get excited about it. You had one against Michigan.
- 20:30Speaker 1: That's when you scored the touchdown. You had one, I
- 20:33Speaker 1: think it was like 70 or 80 yards against Georgia,
- 20:35Speaker 1: and you get down there almost about to score, and
- 20:37Speaker 1: then Materia fumbles it, and that's how you basically lose
- 20:39Speaker 1: the game because you're down 21-0. You don't get very
- 20:43Speaker 1: many of those. You enjoy those moments because that's not
- 20:46Speaker 1: something that we've gotten. But you're starting to see more
- 20:48Speaker 1: of them. Like you saw one against Kentucky. You saw
- 20:51Speaker 1: a long drive. Then you get this long drive here.
- 20:53Speaker 1: Like I said, we're building upon that. Now, this is
- 20:55Speaker 1: the reason why I, unlike those in the comments, we
- 20:59Speaker 1: know who the negative people are in the comments. It's okay.
- 21:01Speaker 1: Let them be negative. They need to vent because they
- 21:04Speaker 1: just have to vent or whatever. Just ignore the comments.
- 21:07Speaker 1: Don't feed the trolls. The reason why I'm okay with
- 21:11Speaker 1: this game, like, I wanted it to be bigger and better,
- 21:13Speaker 1: but I'm just like, whatever, you got four and something yards.
- 21:16Speaker 1: South Carolina stinks like Mississippi State does on defense. Now,
- 21:20Speaker 1: they got Dylan Stewart, but they stink on defense. Like,
- 21:23Speaker 1: their defensive success rate is 119th in the country. Pass, 117th.
- 21:27Speaker 1: They give up passes. Like, their secondary is cheats. What
- 21:32Speaker 1: saves them is Dylan Stewart is insanely talented, and so
- 21:36Speaker 1: you get... Fasusi back on the left, which again, Fasusi
- 21:41Speaker 1: was the most impactful player on this team because your
- 21:44Speaker 1: run game looked different. Mateer looked calm. It looked like,
- 21:48Speaker 1: you know, the air was cleaner and fresher. The juice
- 21:53Speaker 1: was tastier and crisper. Everything, every morsel that he bit
- 21:58Speaker 1: on while sitting on the sideline was just more savory.
- 22:02Speaker 1: It felt like he was a different dude. Why? Because
- 22:05Speaker 1: the dude on the left of him was on the field.
- 22:08Speaker 1: And then Noah Best was kicking tail over there at
- 22:10Speaker 1: left guard. So I can't even complain about that. But
- 22:12Speaker 1: point is, the success rate that South Carolina has is
- 22:18Speaker 1: cheeks on defense. So it'll be our offense versus their offense. Granted,
- 22:23Speaker 1: last year we put a hurting on their offense that season.
- 22:28Speaker 1: And the start of the season it was getting hurt
- 22:30Speaker 1: up on offense. Maybe we can replicate that. Now granted,
- 22:34Speaker 1: right now Sellers is on a hot streak. But if
- 22:36Speaker 1: we can exploit them, just like we just exploited Mississippi State, again,
- 22:40Speaker 1: South Carolina is worse in a lot of categories than
- 22:44Speaker 1: Mississippi State. You just got to exploit it. I told
- 22:48Speaker 1: y'all we were going to put up yards on Kentucky.
- 22:50Speaker 1: We did. As soon as our line got hurt, we sucked.
- 22:54Speaker 1: But we put up yards on them. We're going to
- 22:56Speaker 1: do it again against South Carolina. Now it's all about
- 22:59Speaker 1: can John not go out there and throw 30 million
- 23:01Speaker 1: turnovers and interceptions and and just play within the game
- 23:05Speaker 1: that he was playing, which it seems like it's in
- 23:08Speaker 1: every other right now. But, hey, we may get it.
- 23:12Speaker 1: We may get a really another game like this last week,
- 23:18Speaker 1: this coming weekend at home. And if we get that, dog,
- 23:20Speaker 1: it's going to be tough to beat this team.
- 23:24Speaker 2: Yeah, 100%.
- 23:24Speaker 3: And, you know, another thing about this week is, You
- 23:27Speaker 3: had the Sean Hutton thing, which, you know, Sean, JD, Sonia,
- 23:32Speaker 3: the whole family, like, you know, just I want to
- 23:36Speaker 3: let you guys know, be praying for that family. Sean
- 23:38Speaker 3: had that situation. They got the flu and everything. You're
- 23:41Speaker 3: going back to, you know, Jeff Lebby.
- 23:44Speaker 2: You get the, you know, the.
- 23:46Speaker 3: Unwanted, you know, update that Camario is going to go
- 23:49Speaker 3: ahead and give it a go. And this team, the
- 23:51Speaker 3: guys that went. They– I mean, they gave it everything
- 23:55Speaker 3: they had. I mean, a lot of those guys were super,
- 23:57Speaker 3: super gassed. So this looked like a game to where
- 24:00Speaker 3: at one point, man, if they would have gone to
- 24:02Speaker 3: South Carolina– or, sorry, if they would have gone to
- 24:04Speaker 3: Mississippi State and everything would have happened, I think a
- 24:07Speaker 3: lot of people would have been like, you know, it's
- 24:08Speaker 3: a tough ask for everything that happened this week. But
- 24:12Speaker 3: they took all the positives and they just rolled with it.
- 24:15Speaker 3: You know, I think that a lot of positive on offense,
- 24:18Speaker 3: a lot of positive on defense. Unfortunately– The third phase
- 24:22Speaker 3: of the game, I don't know what's going on.
- 24:25Speaker 2: It looks god-awful.
- 24:28Speaker 3: But, yeah, the offense definitely gave it what we needed.
- 24:32Speaker 1: You did. And, Sean, to your point, Nitta played very
- 24:35Speaker 1: well at center in the second half. When he went
- 24:39Speaker 1: in for Michael, when he went down, I was like, ah, crap.
- 24:42Speaker 1: I was like, oh, yeah, we got Nitta. He's going
- 24:43Speaker 1: to have to play center. Okay, let's see how he does.
- 24:46Speaker 1: That's the good thing here. Again, Mississippi State's defensive line
- 24:49Speaker 1: is not the greatest. They're not bad, but just not good.
- 24:52Speaker 1: We're not great. They're okay. They're not good. They're okay. Like,
- 24:56Speaker 1: they're serviceable. They're serviceable enough that these dudes are winning games.
- 25:00Speaker 1: Let's put it that way. The biggest thing is that
- 25:03Speaker 1: they were winning in shootouts. They're not used to drag-you-in-the-mud
- 25:08Speaker 1: type grind fest games like we are. That's what we do.
- 25:12Speaker 1: That's what we do. We grinded it out. And so
- 25:16Speaker 1: we grinded it out. And we'll see if they can
- 25:18Speaker 1: do that. But Nitta did a really good job. I
- 25:20Speaker 1: was actually satisfied with his play. Peyton Joseph stunk on
- 25:23Speaker 1: the right. Him and E. Harris were kind of stinky
- 25:26Speaker 1: on the right. But they cleaned it up through most
- 25:29Speaker 1: of the game. But yeah, they kept letting dudes on
- 25:30Speaker 1: the inside. And I think that that's where Joseph needs
- 25:33Speaker 1: to get better. But outside of that... We got to
- 25:35Speaker 1: talk about this defense because the defense definitely gave up
- 25:39Speaker 1: more yards than they normally would. And I understood why.
- 25:42Speaker 1: Let's talk about them. Before we continue, shout out to
- 25:45Speaker 1: our partners there at PrizePix, presenting sponsor of the channel.

- 25:56Speaker 1: let's look at some NFL action for this evening. Ooh,
- 26:00Speaker 1: we got Kenneth Walker on here. absolutely, anytime touchdown. Of course,

- 26:23Speaker 1: less on the stats and you are fully in the game.

- 26:49Speaker 1: us five stars. Yeah, Nitta was... You saw the run game.
- 26:53Speaker 1: Seemed like it opened up a little bit more. But
- 26:56Speaker 1: Michael was okay. Michael was good on the pass block.
- 26:58Speaker 1: He struggled on the run. But going up against South Carolina,
- 27:02Speaker 1: the biggest thing is going to be that.
- 27:06Speaker 1: Wherever Dylan Stewart's going to be playing. They don't got
- 27:09Speaker 1: the two guys. This year, there was a Keyon Keeley
- 27:11Speaker 1: they had last year. They don't have two dudes. They
- 27:14Speaker 1: have Dylan, who's basically their one guy. So we're going
- 27:18Speaker 1: to have to be prepared to play him and make
- 27:22Speaker 1: sure that he doesn't become a true terror in this game.
- 27:26Speaker 1: But yeah, To mention it, and Stevie pointed this out
- 27:32Speaker 1: in the comments, I don't think a lot of people
- 27:35Speaker 1: recognize this, is that, oh no, Topher did. About 50%
- 27:39Speaker 1: of the team was sick. And when BD said they
- 27:43Speaker 1: were getting IVs and popping pills before that game, I
- 27:46Speaker 1: was like, yeah, that sucks. But it also made you
- 27:50Speaker 1: recognize that, yeah, that's probably why they were so gassed.
- 27:55Speaker 1: And they were going deeper in the rotation. I mean,
- 27:57Speaker 1: you lose powers of getting hurt. Boeing goes, comes out.
- 28:01Speaker 1: So you're playing, you know, you're playing Ford, you're playing Newcomb.
- 28:05Speaker 1: But if you got all these dudes sick, like they
- 28:06Speaker 1: were throwing up on the sideline. Actually, the reporter asked that,
- 28:10Speaker 1: said that during the game. She's like, yeah, you got
- 28:13Speaker 1: players over there puking on the side. And I'm like, wait, what?
- 28:16Speaker 1: What are they puking for? And then BB talked about
- 28:19Speaker 1: the flu. I was like, oh, didn't realize that. That sucks.
- 28:23Speaker 1: So hopefully they IV these kids up to where they're
- 28:26Speaker 1: ready to go this weekend because they're going to need
- 28:28Speaker 1: to be hydrated here at the crib.
- 28:31Speaker 3: A hundred percent. And, um, it, you know, the, the,
- 28:35Speaker 3: I will say this is going with the defense. Um,
- 28:40Speaker 3: you're going down there, the cowbells are bananas. Uh, you know,
- 28:44Speaker 3: I was trying to explain to my daughter, she was like,
- 28:46Speaker 3: what was that noise? And we were driving, you could
- 28:48Speaker 3: hear that, you know, and it just sounded awful.
- 28:52Speaker 2: And what are you looking for a cowbell?
- 28:55Speaker 1: Yeah, I have a cowbell, actually. I got one when
- 28:58Speaker 1: I worked. Actually, they had them at a Thunder game
- 29:00Speaker 1: before years ago. I've got to see if.
- 29:02Speaker 2: I can find it.
- 29:04Speaker 1: It's obnoxious.
- 29:06Speaker 3: It's obnoxious just because it's not something you're used to.
- 29:09Speaker 3: Even during the Kentucky game, and I probably would have
- 29:12Speaker 3: shared this video if we ended up winning, but we
- 29:15Speaker 3: had about 25 rows down in front of us during
- 29:17Speaker 3: the Kentucky game. We had three fans with the little
- 29:20Speaker 3: plastic hand clappers. And so they're just lifting it up,
- 29:24Speaker 3: you know, at our home and they're like every time
- 29:26Speaker 3: we were on offense. And I thought it was cute
- 29:28Speaker 3: because I thought there's no chance that material here is this.
- 29:30Speaker 3: But it was annoying to me because I just kept
- 29:32Speaker 3: on looking down like, what are you doing? Like, you know,
- 29:36Speaker 3: it'd almost be like snapping your fingers in the crowd
- 29:38Speaker 3: trying to create noise. But that being said, you know,
- 29:42Speaker 3: the defense is just absolutely, you know, with Kentucky and
- 29:46Speaker 3: Will Stein and all the movement he was doing, Jeff
- 29:49Speaker 3: Levy tried to do a lot of that too. And
- 29:51Speaker 3: it seemed like, you know, Kentucky was a little bit
- 29:53Speaker 3: more well-versed at that. But, you know, they tried to
- 29:56Speaker 3: go with more tempo and stuff when, you know, on offense.
- 30:00Speaker 2: But it just seems like.
- 30:01Speaker 3: The big thing and, you know, the guys that I
- 30:04Speaker 3: point out on defense, I'll start with David Stone. David Stone,
- 30:07Speaker 3: maybe one of his best games ever, you know, as
- 30:10Speaker 3: a Sooner. He probably should have had a couple of
- 30:13Speaker 3: other plays. You know, he had the situation where he's
- 30:15Speaker 3: like yelling at the sideline to get the play call in.
- 30:18Speaker 3: And you just saw David Stone as a vocal leader
- 30:22Speaker 3: for like one of the first times. He's always vocal,
- 30:24Speaker 3: but you never like see those things like out on
- 30:26Speaker 3: the field, you know, except for maybe after plays.
- 30:28Speaker 2: But.
- 30:29Speaker 3: He was slapping guys, moving guys over. He was really
- 30:33Speaker 3: trying to do his best. And they were sending double
- 30:37Speaker 3: teams at him. There was one time I saw Bothwell
- 30:40Speaker 3: go up and try to catch him as a third person.
- 30:43Speaker 3: I think we got a chop block call on us. Again,
- 30:47Speaker 3: that was nonsense. Just absolutely horrid, horrid call. Stone got
- 30:54Speaker 3: that about 11 times throughout the game. If you go
- 30:56Speaker 3: back and watch it, Like there's guys who are, you know,
- 31:00Speaker 3: like trying to push Stone over and falling down because
- 31:03Speaker 3: Stone is driving, you know, driving his guy back in
- 31:06Speaker 3: the backfield. So there's several times that Stone's getting like
- 31:08Speaker 3: fell into it, his legs and like pushed up top
- 31:11Speaker 3: and it wasn't called. So it just seems silly. But yeah, David,
- 31:15Speaker 3: just absolute stud of a game. And every single time
- 31:18Speaker 3: I see him do anything, I just think of like
- 31:20Speaker 3: how I felt of. oh my gosh, is Stone going
- 31:23Speaker 3: to be out for the season after he had the
- 31:24Speaker 3: kneecap injury? Yeah. And the dude has just, you know,
- 31:27Speaker 3: grinded through everything and still produced.
- 31:31Speaker 1: He produced a lot. And what's crazy is how fast
- 31:33Speaker 1: he was getting off the line. Like, he was, it's
- 31:39Speaker 1: like as soon as the hike happened, he was.
- 31:41Speaker 2: That one. There was the one.
- 31:43Speaker 1: Insane speed of how he's able to get off the line,
- 31:47Speaker 1: basically get in the backfield.
- 31:49Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
- 31:50Speaker 1: And they were panicking. They're like, how are we going
- 31:52Speaker 1: to stop this dude? And of course, you know, the
- 31:53Speaker 1: way BV does, he moves him around and had them
- 31:56Speaker 1: flipping out about it. He was all over the place.
- 32:02Speaker 1: Wine had his moments. Like, he gets the personal foul,
- 32:05Speaker 1: which was kind of crazy, trying to figure out what
- 32:07Speaker 1: he was thinking with that. And then he makes up later.
- 32:10Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 32:10Speaker 1: In the game. With getting the fumble. Recovering that fumble. And, yeah, no,
- 32:17Speaker 1: they were... They were aggressive... In the right way. Six
- 32:22Speaker 1: tackles for loss, four total sacks. PJ, PJ been showing out, man.
- 32:27Speaker 1: He leads the team in sacks, if I'm correct right now.
- 32:29Speaker 1: He is your team leader in sacks. I don't think
- 32:32Speaker 1: anybody expected that.
- 32:36Speaker 2: I mean, not, I don't, legitimately, no.
- 32:38Speaker 3: I don't think so. But it seemed that there was,
- 32:44Speaker 3: Gabe and Teddy were pretty.
- 32:46Speaker 1: Yep, four sacks for him. Jake Krill's got three.
- 32:49Speaker 2: Okay, yeah. 22 for the team.
- 32:51Speaker 3: Gabe and Teddy really made it sound like, you know,
- 32:54Speaker 3: you're going to have more luck out of, like, an Okoye,
- 32:58Speaker 3: out of Jake Crell. But it really was Wine and PJ,
- 33:02Speaker 3: just the big, strong guys, because that's exactly what Mississippi
- 33:06Speaker 3: State goes against every single day against their defense. None
- 33:09Speaker 3: of those guys are super explosive, but it's a bunch
- 33:12Speaker 3: of PJs. You know, you had Gabe Brunlow-Dendy, who was
- 33:15Speaker 3: a commit at one point. It's flipped it to A
- 33:18Speaker 3: & M. Now he's transferred here. Oh, sorry, sorry, I'm
- 33:22Speaker 3: skipping a week. That's South Carolina. They have, I cannot remember,
- 33:28Speaker 3: Amari Williams. Amari is an absolute stud. Their defensive line
- 33:34Speaker 3: guys are just old, strong guys, and they've been able
- 33:37Speaker 3: to bully offensive lines.
- 33:39Speaker 2: And it was the exact opposite. It was crazy because P.J.
- 33:43Speaker 3: And Taylor Wine were really causing a lot of issues,
- 33:45Speaker 3: and so was David Stone. Even though Jake Krell did,
- 33:48Speaker 3: I mean, he was a few fingertips away a couple
- 33:51Speaker 3: of times on stuff.
- 33:53Speaker 1: He had a couple opportunities for some sacks. And he
- 33:57Speaker 1: was almost there. But then he kept doing freshman things. Like,
- 34:01Speaker 1: you know, jumping off sides on fourth and three. Because
- 34:04Speaker 1: he was really wanting it that bad. And it's like, Bubba,
- 34:07Speaker 1: don't move. It's fourth down. They're going to go for
- 34:10Speaker 1: the jump before they do anything. Like, that's the only
- 34:14Speaker 1: time that you shouldn't be trying to beat.
- 34:16Speaker 2: the.
- 34:16Speaker 1: Lineman off the line is only like fourth and three
- 34:19Speaker 1: because you just need to muscle them and keep them
- 34:22Speaker 1: from being able to push forward on a run. But
- 34:24Speaker 1: they played us a couple times with the penalty there.
- 34:28Speaker 1: But Crell's been getting a lot more snaps. I'll tell
- 34:32Speaker 1: you that.
- 34:34Speaker 2: He's showing up there a lot.
- 34:35Speaker 3: And I like the rotation because I think we felt
- 34:38Speaker 3: pretty good about that defensive end rotation at the beginning
- 34:40Speaker 3: of the year with Okoye. And we thought Crell would
- 34:44Speaker 3: get more spot duty. And we would see some, you know,
- 34:47Speaker 3: maybe a couple of other guys. But, yeah, you know,
- 34:49Speaker 3: we haven't seen Gilmore a lot here recently. We haven't seen,
- 34:55Speaker 3: you know, the kid from UTSA.
- 34:57Speaker 2: His name slips my mind.
- 34:59Speaker 1: Yeah, Ozuwalu.
- 35:01Speaker 2: Ozuwalu.
- 35:02Speaker 3: Like, we haven't seen him play a lot. But that
- 35:05Speaker 3: edge rotation has been great. And when you've got pressure
- 35:10Speaker 3: off the edge, pressure up the middle going on, it
- 35:12Speaker 3: allows the next couple guys I want to kind of
- 35:14Speaker 3: call out to really roam free. One of them is
- 35:19Speaker 3: Owen Heineke. Owen Heineke is not going to win the
- 35:23Speaker 3: Butkus Award. He might have his name thrown in there,
- 35:26Speaker 3: but I have never– I don't think I've– most of
- 35:29Speaker 3: the times when you have an off-field situation in the
- 35:33Speaker 3: offseason and then you come back and you're the victor
- 35:37Speaker 3: of it, typically you don't see a lot of phenomenal
- 35:40Speaker 3: stories like we're seeing on Owen. Owen has played his
- 35:43Speaker 3: backside off. And if Owen had the flu, this was
- 35:46Speaker 3: his MJ flu game.
- 35:49Speaker 2: Yeah, he did.
- 35:51Speaker 3: There were times that Owen would go and he would
- 35:54Speaker 3: make a tackle and he was just down on the
- 35:56Speaker 3: ground for a half count longer than he usually is.
- 36:00Speaker 3: Usually he's popped back up, hopping back over the sideline.
- 36:04Speaker 3: But it was crazy because both him and Kip, absolute
- 36:08Speaker 3: phenomenal games, just blowing everything up. And even if they
- 36:11Speaker 3: didn't make the play, they destroyed the play.
- 36:13Speaker 2: And let somebody else make it.
- 36:15Speaker 1: They did. And I'm assuming a lot of people were sick.
- 36:18Speaker 1: We rotated a lot of players, especially on the defensive line.
- 36:22Speaker 1: Man Man got a good amount. He was missing some.
- 36:25Speaker 1: He missed a tackle. Tristan, Cortland missed a tackle. Tristan
- 36:30Speaker 1: was targeted the entire game. He gave up four catches
- 36:32Speaker 1: for 30 yards, which is not bad.
- 36:33Speaker 3: Eight catches, eight tackles I think he had.
- 36:35Speaker 2: He was out there for most.
- 36:38Speaker 1: Yeah. Tristan and Cortland did not come out the game.
- 36:42Speaker 1: And I actually would like that to remain for the
- 36:44Speaker 1: rest of the season. I would like you to rotate
- 36:47Speaker 1: Eli in and let him just float around. But I
- 36:51Speaker 1: don't want you to take Tristan out no more. At
- 36:53Speaker 1: this point, that's your next corner. Let Eli rotate around
- 36:57Speaker 1: in between nickel. You can play him on the outside,
- 36:59Speaker 1: rotate Tristan into nickel. That's fine. I think Tristan needs
- 37:03Speaker 1: to play for the rest of the year. I am
- 37:05Speaker 1: now on that wagon.
- 37:07Speaker 2: A hundred percent.
- 37:09Speaker 3: It's, it's a wagon that you're okay to have, uh,
- 37:12Speaker 3: you know, have, um, because you're telling me once again,
- 37:15Speaker 3: that this isn't, yeah, you know, it just goes that
- 37:18Speaker 3: you're telling me that you're saying, let's have Eli Bowen
- 37:21Speaker 3: not be the starting corner, uh, you know, opposite of Cortland.
- 37:24Speaker 3: And like, if, if you could say that at any
- 37:28Speaker 3: point in the, you know, there, think about how many
- 37:30Speaker 3: years ago was when you're like, can we have one person, uh,
- 37:34Speaker 3: you know, be good in the secondary.
- 37:36Speaker 2: Just one.
- 37:37Speaker 1: Just one.
- 37:37Speaker 2: And now, now we've got like nine.
- 37:41Speaker 1: It's our deepest area. It feels our deepest. Like it's
- 37:44Speaker 1: going to suck losing PB. I mean, great interception. He got, I'm,
- 37:47Speaker 1: I don't like that. He returned the ball and then
- 37:49Speaker 1: ended up falling on his hip and getting a little
- 37:51Speaker 1: bit of a stinker. He said, he'll be back this week.
- 37:53Speaker 1: He's fine. He just, he was on the bike laughing
- 37:55Speaker 1: and joking and relaxing. They like, I don't need you
- 37:57Speaker 1: back in the game, but, um, he's playing his best
- 38:00Speaker 1: ball right now. He's, he's making himself some money. Uh,
- 38:05Speaker 1: he's causing turnovers and he's pretty consistent with that in coverage.
- 38:08Speaker 1: He's breaking up passes. He's in the way. He's getting stops.
- 38:13Speaker 1: PB is that dude. So when he's gone, you got
- 38:18Speaker 1: man-man there with most likely Bogonowski and Markel Ford rotating.
- 38:23Speaker 1: And if you go get Gideon Gash, it depends on
- 38:28Speaker 1: who else you ask. You're going to have a lot of...
- 38:30Speaker 1: The safety room, I have no concerns about. because Hall
- 38:36Speaker 1: has them dudes playing at a high level. And... Yeah,
- 38:42Speaker 1: they're playing at a high level. Period.
- 38:47Speaker 2: So, you said PB. I had Owen, Stone, Payton, PJ,
- 38:51Speaker 2: and then.
- 38:52Speaker 3: RP3 and Kip. It's just pure consistency out of those guys.
- 38:56Speaker 2: Those were the top five.
- 38:57Speaker 3: Those were the guys that were just doing insane things.
- 39:01Speaker 3: And you're right. And I also think that Robert Spears
- 39:04Speaker 3: Jennings also looking good on the Steelers. It shows a really,
- 39:08Speaker 3: really good opportunity for Peyton to be out there.
- 39:13Speaker 2: You brought up Man-Man.
- 39:15Speaker 3: Every single time he's out there, he still has some
- 39:18Speaker 3: of those early playing time mistakes every once in a while.
- 39:21Speaker 1: Young player mistakes, almost pressure mistakes.
- 39:23Speaker 3: Yeah, they're not mistakes that are like you know, insurmountable mistakes.
- 39:30Speaker 2: They're small.
- 39:30Speaker 3: They're small, but, you know, it's like that's how great
- 39:33Speaker 3: this defense has gotten to where you think that that's
- 39:36Speaker 3: going to be. And I'll say this. The end of
- 39:41Speaker 3: the game, they started moving the ball. We went away
- 39:45Speaker 3: from a lot of the stuff that we were needing
- 39:48Speaker 3: to do as a defense. And it looks like we
- 39:51Speaker 3: got a little lackadaisical and you could tell that because I,
- 39:54Speaker 3: you know, at one point I saw Chavis and BV
- 39:57Speaker 3: kind of snapping at each other. And you see that
- 40:00Speaker 3: and it's because Brent Venables wants to shut out every
- 40:02Speaker 3: single game. And he thinks that this is the team
- 40:04Speaker 3: that can do that. So that being said, you've got
- 40:07Speaker 3: so many guys on defense, guys who are just, just
- 40:11Speaker 3: trying to get out there and, you know, maybe even
- 40:14Speaker 3: die on the field if they, if the, if the,
- 40:17Speaker 3: you know, the need calls, but, um, again, another reason
- 40:20Speaker 3: why you have Brent Venables, you know, I mean, a
- 40:23Speaker 3: lot of people saying, you know, we just need to
- 40:25Speaker 3: fix the offense because the defense is, is, is fixed
- 40:29Speaker 3: and it's beautiful.
- 40:31Speaker 1: What matters is, is that we're still one of the
- 40:35Speaker 1: top teams in the country and, and points per game
- 40:39Speaker 1: scoring defense. We're, we're, we're still doing a good job of, Yeah,
- 40:47Speaker 1: with 17.7 points per game, so we're top 25 in that.
- 40:49Speaker 1: We still got a top EPA defense where average points,
- 40:55Speaker 1: we're not giving up much. And that note... Great job.
- 40:59Speaker 1: Tate Sandell, I guess he had the cooties too. He
- 41:02Speaker 1: wasn't making anything. He'd make a field goal, then they
- 41:05Speaker 1: called us for two stupid field goal penalties, which it
- 41:07Speaker 1: was weird because they kept saying we weren't on the line,
- 41:10Speaker 1: but it looked like they pointed over to the refs
- 41:12Speaker 1: to make sure they were good, and they were saying
- 41:13Speaker 1: they were good, and then they said they weren't afterwards.
- 41:15Speaker 1: It just didn't make any sense because every team I've
- 41:18Speaker 1: seen do it. It was the exact same way we
- 41:20Speaker 1: were lined up for our other field goals, and for
- 41:22Speaker 1: some reason nothing was called. So I think everybody was
- 41:24Speaker 1: kind of confused of, okay, so we verify, but you're saying,
- 41:29Speaker 1: what are we doing wrong? But that doesn't matter at all.
- 41:35Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing, though, is Tate got to
- 41:38Speaker 1: get back into his groove. He was making them long ones.
- 41:40Speaker 1: It's like some of the short ones is the ones
- 41:42Speaker 1: where he's just kind of like, eh, it's not really
- 41:44Speaker 1: hitting where he used to. But that doesn't matter at
- 41:47Speaker 1: this point. You're winning. We took the points early. which
- 41:52Speaker 1: made me feel good. Then we scored at the half
- 41:55Speaker 1: and we scored again, right? You go up 17. Oh,
- 41:58Speaker 1: and you feel good. You're like, that is what you're
- 42:01Speaker 1: hoping for going forward. You hope that you're taking the money,
- 42:08Speaker 1: especially if you're going to lean on defense, anytime there's
- 42:11Speaker 1: money available, you take that money. And we did. And
- 42:15Speaker 1: so I was pretty proud of us for actually doing that. Um,
- 42:18Speaker 1: any final thoughts on the defense?
- 42:20Speaker 2: No.
- 42:21Speaker 3: Um, I mean, it looks like the tackling is starting
- 42:24Speaker 3: to kind of, you know, stay pretty consistent. You know,
- 42:28Speaker 3: give up a 100-yard rusher for the first time since,
- 42:31Speaker 3: I believe, Haynes last year from Michigan. I think that
- 42:35Speaker 3: was the last time that we got a 100-yard rusher,
- 42:36Speaker 3: and he got, you know, the giant bulk of that
- 42:39Speaker 3: all-on run. You know, kind of the same with Fluff.
- 42:41Speaker 3: I think it was 37 he got all-on, but that's
- 42:45Speaker 3: a big thumper, and he was– I mean, he's good,
- 42:49Speaker 3: and he's going to be a guy– He's going to
- 42:51Speaker 3: be a guy kind of like David Montgomery in the
- 42:53Speaker 3: NFL to where you need a guy to come down
- 42:55Speaker 3: and pop it in from the goal line or Charbonnet
- 42:59Speaker 3: for Seattle. That's the type of guy that he's probably
- 43:02Speaker 3: going to end up being.
- 43:03Speaker 2: Yep.
- 43:04Speaker 1: That's exactly it. All right. We've had some movement in
- 43:09Speaker 1: college football, Coop. Coach is getting fired already. Let's talk
- 43:14Speaker 1: about it. Thank you all, of course, for pulling up.
- 43:17Speaker 1: Hit the like button if you're new to the channel. Subscribe, rate, review.
- 43:19Speaker 1: Give us five stars. We'll look at the scores around
- 43:22Speaker 1: the SEC like we do every week. But, dude, what
- 43:26Speaker 1: was that? Dorian, the coach over there at North Carolina State,
- 43:29Speaker 1: got fired. We just synced that. Dave Aranda. Dave Aranda
- 43:36Speaker 1: just got fired. Loxley at Maryland got fired. So, two
- 43:42Speaker 1: ACC coaches, one Big 12 coach, have gotten fired. I'm
- 43:46Speaker 1: assuming that Shiano's most likely getting fired. soon. Uh, TCU
- 43:53Speaker 1: just fired their co-offensive coordinator and offensive line coach, AJ Ricker.
- 43:59Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 43:59Speaker 1: Which makes me believe that, um, Sonny Dyches is gone
- 44:07Speaker 1: at the end of the season. After what? Four years
- 44:10Speaker 1: after playing in a national championship. That's pretty crazy.
- 44:14Speaker 3: It's nothing since, nothing since he's had, he's had, I mean,
- 44:18Speaker 3: like it's not even, I mean, his best season is
- 44:21Speaker 3: like the one we're having right now. Like it's, it's been,
- 44:25Speaker 3: it's been a little bit of a joke and says,
- 44:27Speaker 3: I mean, same with Aranda, both of those guys down there.
- 44:29Speaker 3: You know, Aranda goes to, was it the orange bowl?
- 44:33Speaker 3: You know, it goes to, you know, it has a really,
- 44:35Speaker 3: really good year. The beat OU one year.
- 44:38Speaker 2: And that was it. That was it for Aranda.
- 44:42Speaker 1: Yeah. It's just crazy. You know, when the big 12
- 44:45Speaker 1: and then he gets fired a few. And in fact,
- 44:47Speaker 1: they was four and three, but that loss to Kansas
- 44:49Speaker 1: was enough. That sucks, man. Kansas is the team. I
- 44:54Speaker 1: would hate being Kansas. You're still actually a solid team,
- 44:58Speaker 1: and anytime someone loses to you, they're like, all right,
- 45:00Speaker 1: that's it. Fire everybody.
- 45:02Speaker 2: We can't handle it.
- 45:03Speaker 1: We can't handle it. You're fired. More hot seats. Yeah,
- 45:08Speaker 1: they said Prime is on the hot seat. I don't
- 45:10Speaker 1: think they fire him this season. One, his buyout's too
- 45:14Speaker 1: high at $ 26 million, even with the new athletic director.
- 45:19Speaker 1: But because they brought in two new coordinators and they
- 45:22Speaker 1: saw early success, they're probably going to give them another
- 45:26Speaker 1: year with those guys, which would make sense. I would
- 45:29Speaker 1: probably give them one more year to see if the
- 45:31Speaker 1: new coordinators can figure it out.
- 45:33Speaker 3: And, Jay, I mean, I got to say, for a
- 45:36Speaker 3: while there, it looked like if they were going to
- 45:37Speaker 3: turn around, I mean, they were going to come out
- 45:38Speaker 3: and beat Oklahoma State.
- 45:40Speaker 2: And Oklahoma State's defense is not good.
- 45:44Speaker 3: It's really bad. But their offense is prolific. and it's
- 45:48Speaker 3: just not one that you can, you know, if you're
- 45:51Speaker 3: barely making it on defense, it's one of those games
- 45:54Speaker 3: where you go, I mean, OSU's still going to score
- 45:57Speaker 3: 40 points on this Colorado defense.
- 45:59Speaker 2: But, yeah, I'm with you. I think, if anything, they'll let,
- 46:05Speaker 2: if somebody wants to come.
- 46:06Speaker 3: Try to get prime, a.k.a. Florida State or something like that,
- 46:10Speaker 3: they'll let them come and try.
- 46:11Speaker 1: They can't afford their buyout.
- 46:12Speaker 3: No.
- 46:12Speaker 1: They can't afford their buyout either. That is one team
- 46:16Speaker 1: I could see going up. I could see a team
- 46:18Speaker 1: in Florida going after prime. That would be the one.
- 46:21Speaker 1: I don't think he goes below P4 at this point.
- 46:24Speaker 1: You give him the right resources. He still has his
- 46:29Speaker 1: personality that still draws enough people in. The problem is
- 46:33Speaker 1: Colorado ain't got no money. They really don't. I've talked
- 46:37Speaker 1: to some people there. They ain't got no money. They
- 46:40Speaker 1: just don't have that type of bread. Like they could
- 46:42Speaker 1: jump in on one kid. They ain't getting it for
- 46:45Speaker 1: 10 and they kind of need more to do that.
- 46:48Speaker 1: They haven't, but even with all the money economically that
- 46:52Speaker 1: he has brought to that area, they have yet to
- 46:54Speaker 1: pour enough of that into the actual program itself. But TCU, Baylor,
- 47:00Speaker 1: see Rutgers trying to think who else is really, we
- 47:03Speaker 1: thought that Beamer was going to be a legitimate hot seater,
- 47:07Speaker 1: but buddy, absolutely no.
- 47:10Speaker 2: Yeah. And it's, I mean, obviously they stormed the field.
- 47:15Speaker 3: You stormed the field, You know, midseason, I mean, I
- 47:21Speaker 3: don't think anything will happen, you know, win or lose
- 47:25Speaker 3: versus OU. But, I mean, I think that if you
- 47:27Speaker 3: go down to Oklahoma and their offense, you know, all
- 47:29Speaker 3: of a sudden looks alive, you know, again, the arrow
- 47:32Speaker 3: kind of looks like it's trending up at the moment.
- 47:35Speaker 3: But if OU goes out and throws out like 30
- 47:38Speaker 3: points on that, that might reignite the hot seat.
- 47:41Speaker 2: But I think Beamer's safe as of right now.
- 47:43Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 47:43Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 47:44Speaker 1: I think Beamer's probably going to get– he'll get the
- 47:45Speaker 1: entire season and he'll get to go into next unless
- 47:48Speaker 1: they skid all the way in every single game going forward.
- 47:52Speaker 1: I don't see them doing that. Let me see. Let
- 47:54Speaker 1: me get South Carolina's schedule pulled up real quick because
- 47:57Speaker 1: I'm actually curious. Who do they play after us? They
- 48:01Speaker 1: got– Let me pull it up so everybody can see it.
- 48:05Speaker 3: Yeah, they got– they've got two easy and two difficult.
- 48:10Speaker 1: All right, SEC schedules. We've got– See, that's Georgia, Mississippi State, Missouri,
- 48:17Speaker 1: South Carolina. Let me get this pulled up so we
- 48:21Speaker 1: all can look at it. Because that, to me, is
- 48:24Speaker 1: what's going to tell you about, like, what happens with him.
- 48:32Speaker 1: So their schedule going forward is this.
- 48:39Speaker 2: Us.
- 48:41Speaker 1: Oh, and they got A & M at the crib.
- 48:43Speaker 1: Travel to Arkansas. That should be an easy one. Hosting
- 48:47Speaker 1: Georgia and Clemson. I'm going to be honest. So we're
- 48:56Speaker 1: favorite here at the crib. Three and a half over
- 48:58Speaker 1: at FanDuel. Some of the other spots have us at
- 49:01Speaker 1: like five and a half, which I don't like. Five
- 49:02Speaker 1: and a half is a very bad luck number for us.
- 49:05Speaker 1: That seems to be the number that we always end
- 49:07Speaker 1: up losing the game in. So I don't like five
- 49:09Speaker 1: and a half. So I hope it stays in the three,
- 49:12Speaker 1: three and a half range. That usually means good things.
- 49:14Speaker 1: They were three point favorites against Tennessee in one, but
- 49:18Speaker 1: looking at this coop, if they lose to A & M,
- 49:24Speaker 1: Georgia and Clemson, that dude's getting fired. I, I, if
- 49:30Speaker 1: they lose to Clemson, he's fired. Yeah.
- 49:33Speaker 2: I'll say I'll one up you.
- 49:35Speaker 3: I think that he could be safe losing to us.
- 49:38Speaker 3: I think they, they, We'll see about the A &
- 49:41Speaker 3: M game because A & M' s Achilles' heel is, yeah,
- 49:45Speaker 3: A & M' s going to probably, it depends on what
- 49:49Speaker 3: Marcel Reed did. Now, they'll go into that game thinking
- 49:52Speaker 3: that they can stomp the life out of A &
- 49:53Speaker 3: M because technically they did for the first half last
- 49:56Speaker 3: year down in College Station.
- 49:58Speaker 2: So let's just go this. Let's say that they lose
- 50:01Speaker 2: to us.
- 50:02Speaker 3: They beat A & M, beat Arkansas. If you lose
- 50:05Speaker 3: to Georgia, then Clemson, because that Clemson game for the uninitiated,
- 50:09Speaker 3: that's a rivalry game.
- 50:10Speaker 2: That's their bedlam.
- 50:13Speaker 3: And if you lose to that Clemson team after losing
- 50:16Speaker 3: to potentially us and Georgia, that's three of your last five.
- 50:22Speaker 3: Then I think that he might not make it.
- 50:26Speaker 1: Yeah, see, DraftKings has us at about four and a
- 50:28Speaker 1: half right now. Vegas Insiders keeping us at five and
- 50:34Speaker 1: a half. We don't really have anything with, yeah, FanDuel
- 50:37Speaker 1: is three and a half. So in that case, yeah,
- 50:41Speaker 1: it's a, yeah, the numbers don't look good. It's still
- 50:48Speaker 1: in our favor. I think SP Plus and a few
- 50:51Speaker 1: others say it should be like a one-point spread with
- 50:53Speaker 1: us winning by one point or something like that. So
- 50:56Speaker 1: I'm very appreciative that it's a close game. But yeah,
- 51:00Speaker 1: if they lose to Clemson, he's fired. And I say
- 51:03Speaker 1: that because Clemson's bad. Clemson just lost to Vatek.
- 51:10Speaker 2: And I think that was an ugly game, just to
- 51:12Speaker 2: be honest.
- 51:13Speaker 1: Oh, it was a stinky game.
- 51:14Speaker 2: It was stinking.
- 51:16Speaker 3: Clemson has– okay, so let's look at Clemson here. At
- 51:20Speaker 3: Florida State, at Syracuse, Georgia Tech, at Duke, and then
- 51:25Speaker 3: home versus South Carolina. So Clemson, I mean, those are
- 51:29Speaker 3: some teams that you can maybe get yourself on a
- 51:32Speaker 3: little bit of a roll and start playing well. You know,
- 51:35Speaker 3: the Duke game is going to probably be pretty tough.
- 51:37Speaker 3: Georgia Tech is just going to be a fight. It's
- 51:39Speaker 3: going to be a rock fight.
- 51:40Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 51:42Speaker 3: You should beat Florida State and you should beat Syracuse.
- 51:45Speaker 3: And so– If that's how the season ends with, you know,
- 51:49Speaker 3: maybe a stumbling Clemson team coming in and beating you
- 51:52Speaker 3: at home.
- 51:56Speaker 2: It's a that's a that's a different game.
- 51:58Speaker 3: That being said, I don't really I don't know how
- 52:01Speaker 3: well this, you know, affects us or anything. But, you know,
- 52:07Speaker 3: this game this weekend and we'll talk about it on Wednesday,
- 52:10Speaker 3: like it's going to be. Can we just pressure material
- 52:15Speaker 3: into mistakes? And if they can't, it could be a
- 52:19Speaker 3: long day for them on defense.
- 52:21Speaker 1: As long as Fasusi is playing and continue to play
- 52:26Speaker 1: as good as he has been, we should be fine.
- 52:29Speaker 1: Funny enough, I think the team that I was the
- 52:32Speaker 1: most concerned about going into... Let's look at these games
- 52:39Speaker 1: on the calendar, right? Ole Miss... Losing to Texas. I
- 52:47Speaker 1: was concerned about Ole Miss. Saw that game. Kind of
- 52:51Speaker 1: makes me feel a lot different about them. Mainly for
- 52:54Speaker 1: one reason. Their defense stinks.
- 53:02Speaker 2: There's a lot of Alabama fans right now going, see? See?
- 53:07Speaker 2: Because they're fourth and golden. Yeah, that's exactly what it was.
- 53:12Speaker 3: There's a lot, there's a lot, but I will say
- 53:15Speaker 3: this is I, they may stink on defense, but with
- 53:18Speaker 3: that little son of a gun back there, a quarterback,
- 53:21Speaker 3: like you until, until, you know, until it's boom, boom
- 53:25Speaker 3: at the end, like you got to play, like he's
- 53:28Speaker 3: going to keep coming and you cannot. Now, again, I
- 53:30Speaker 3: don't think you're going to have, you know, half the team,
- 53:32Speaker 3: you know, sick with the flu. But that being said,
- 53:35Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, that Ole Miss Texas game, Texas jumped
- 53:37Speaker 3: out on them. And I think Texas kind of went
- 53:40Speaker 3: cruise control for a little bit there. But if Ole
- 53:45Speaker 3: Miss had a defense at all, I mean, I think
- 53:47Speaker 3: that they win that game.
- 53:49Speaker 2: It was just– it was a struggle.
- 53:51Speaker 3: And Arch had a couple times to where he was
- 53:55Speaker 3: sitting back there with a clean pocket and able to
- 53:58Speaker 3: deliver the ball down. And that was without Cam Coleman
- 54:01Speaker 3: because I think Cam Coleman went down early in that
- 54:02Speaker 3: game too. So, Wingo had himself a little bit of
- 54:05Speaker 3: a day.
- 54:06Speaker 2: They got Mosley.
- 54:07Speaker 1: After he dropped a touchdown.
- 54:09Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 54:09Speaker 1: Like wide open. Wide open. in stride right in the
- 54:14Speaker 1: bread basket touchdown it's I see arch through a couple
- 54:20Speaker 1: meatball subs afterwards.
- 54:21Speaker 3: Too yeah I see a very um Marvin Harrison Jr.
- 54:27Speaker 3: type of a career for Cam Coleman um you know
- 54:31Speaker 3: and maybe he turns it around against this uh you
- 54:33Speaker 3: know playing for Houston but Yeah, that might have been
- 54:39Speaker 3: better for Texas to see Cam Coleman go down and
- 54:42Speaker 3: be able to just use because I still think Wingo's
- 54:44Speaker 3: the best receiver on that team.
- 54:45Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with you there.
- 54:47Speaker 3: As of today. And Bishop and Mosley, Mosley's a guy
- 54:51Speaker 3: that just needs to stay healthy. But they're going to
- 54:54Speaker 3: have receivers continue to come this way. Oh, 100%.
- 54:57Speaker 1: I mean, Relique ran for 157 yards on them.
- 55:02Speaker 3: And he ran like a big back on them multiple times.
- 55:05Speaker 3: I was like, who the hell is that? And then
- 55:08Speaker 3: I see Relique's number, and I was like, what?
- 55:10Speaker 1: He ran for 157 yards. Ole Miss, even with Kiwan
- 55:16Speaker 1: Lacy and Makai Frazier, they ran for 113 combined. 47
- 55:19Speaker 1: for Frazier, 36 for Lacy. Lacy's still hurt. Of course,
- 55:24Speaker 1: Turner had to for 250, but through three picks. So turnovers,
- 55:27Speaker 1: he will turn the ball over a lot. Texas got
- 55:32Speaker 1: zero sacks in this game and four tackles for loss.
- 55:37Speaker 1: He's really hard to get to. But the thing is, like,
- 55:43Speaker 1: Arks threw for 212. He threw for 250. Their defense
- 55:48Speaker 1: was bad. They gave up 200 yards on the ground.
- 55:52Speaker 1: And if you can get Torrey Blaylock like he was
- 55:54Speaker 1: in this game, because Torrey may do this again in
- 55:57Speaker 1: South Carolina. And they didn't have Goolsby at the end
- 56:01Speaker 1: of the game.
- 56:03Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 56:04Speaker 1: He got hurt, what was that, third, fourth quarter is
- 56:07Speaker 1: when he went down. And that's kind of when the
- 56:11Speaker 1: comeback started. And Ole Miss broke a 21-point lead and
- 56:16Speaker 1: took over, which is what's bad. And now Texas ain't
- 56:19Speaker 1: even got Goolsby no more. Goolsby being gone is going
- 56:21Speaker 1: to suck for them. Because, yeah, he was there for
- 56:27Speaker 1: Susie on the left. Their defense is not good. So,
- 56:32Speaker 1: I mean, I expect that game to be interesting when
- 56:34Speaker 1: we play them because it's going to be all about
- 56:38Speaker 1: can we just put yards on them. They come to
- 56:41Speaker 1: the crib, put yards on them. So we'll have, what,
- 56:45Speaker 1: South Carolina here will travel to Florida. Swamp. We'll see
- 56:52Speaker 1: how they do against Georgia the week before us, which
- 56:54Speaker 1: is going to be the very interesting game. Kentucky almost
- 56:59Speaker 1: lost to Vandy. It was down at one point to Vandy.
- 57:01Speaker 1: I thought they were going to lose that game, but
- 57:03Speaker 1: they pulled it out. A & M had a little
- 57:06Speaker 1: bit of bounce back to them. They gave Bama some hell.
- 57:10Speaker 1: And Auburn, after that emotional win, forgot to play football.
- 57:14Speaker 1: Down 31-10 at the half.
- 57:20Speaker 2: That one was a little confusing for me.
- 57:25Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't get that. I thought that game was
- 57:27Speaker 1: going to be a lot closer than that. And Sam
- 57:29Speaker 1: Leavitt was trying to give them the ball. He threw
- 57:32Speaker 1: a good four or five turnover-worthy passes that was right
- 57:37Speaker 1: there in the bread basket for them, and they just
- 57:38Speaker 1: didn't take advantage of it. Yeah, the conference is pretty open.
- 57:43Speaker 1: Let's just put it that way. Next week is where
- 57:45Speaker 1: things get interesting.
- 57:47Speaker 2: And last thing about Auburn.
- 57:50Speaker 3: Auburn, I said this multiple times before the season started.
- 57:54Speaker 3: Auburn's got them a traditional Auburn, Nick Marshall, you know,
- 57:57Speaker 3: Bo Nix type of quarterback. He's just a, like, John
- 58:00Speaker 3: Mateer might have, if he would have ever, if he
- 58:03Speaker 3: would have transferred to Auburn, he would have fit right
- 58:05Speaker 3: in with that Auburn-style quarterback.
- 58:08Speaker 2: But they could not run the ball at all. And
- 58:11Speaker 2: what is it?
- 58:12Speaker 3: They had their Brown and tia or whatever the two
- 58:17Speaker 3: quarterbacks combined for what is that 39 yards and so
- 58:21Speaker 3: that means that uh there's like 20 some odd yards
- 58:24Speaker 3: by the rest of everybody like it was not good
- 58:26Speaker 3: and auburn is a good like it is a good
- 58:29Speaker 3: running team um that you know.
- 58:31Speaker 1: Yeah jeremiah cobb was getting nothing which is crazy.
- 58:35Speaker 3: Yeah he had a five for 14 and half of
- 58:39Speaker 3: them came on one.
- 58:39Speaker 1: Run Jeremiah Cobb is such a good running back, and
- 58:42Speaker 1: they could not get anything going. It's like, Golis can't.
- 58:45Speaker 3: Figure it out yet. They gave up on the run,
- 58:49Speaker 3: kind of how we've seen us do on several occasions.
- 58:52Speaker 3: But anyway, that being said, you've got Florida. So what
- 58:58Speaker 3: is that going to look like?
- 59:00Speaker 1: They play in Atlanta, too. That stinks. They play in
- 59:05Speaker 1: Atlanta against Georgia for their rivalry game. Because the Jacksonville's
- 59:08Speaker 1: having their stadium renovation. or something.
- 59:11Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 59:11Speaker 1: So they couldn't really book it. Yeah, that's going to be...
- 59:14Speaker 1: It's going to be interesting. We're going to have a fun...
- 59:24Speaker 1: The rest of our schedule is going to be very
- 59:25Speaker 1: interesting going forward. When you look at... What we have, like,
- 59:30Speaker 1: we're playing worse defenses every week. Like, South Carolina's right
- 59:37Speaker 1: there with Mississippi State. You build confidence in those games.
- 59:40Speaker 1: You put up some yards. Florida should be a better defense,
- 59:43Speaker 1: but they're not. You look at, let me see, what
- 59:50Speaker 1: does Florida's defense look like statistically against us?
- 59:55Speaker 2: It's pretty bad.
- 59:56Speaker 3: I think the only defense you have on the docket
- 1:00:01Speaker 3: for the rest of the way that's any good is
- 1:00:03Speaker 3: obviously Missouri.
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: Yeah, the best defense we're going to see is Missouri. Yeah,
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: I'm looking at the game on paper-wise. Our defense and
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: their offense will match up well. Yeah, their defense is
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: in the hundreds also. 132nd and 3rd and 4th down
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: success rate. Florida's defense is really bad, too. They're bad.
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: They're especially bad against the pass.
- 1:00:31Speaker 3: Which, Jay, why do we point that out? It's not
- 1:00:35Speaker 3: because we've played the best defenses we're going to see. Now,
- 1:00:39Speaker 3: like I said, Missouri, the teams remaining, it's Missouri, a
- 1:00:45Speaker 3: significant gap, and then maybe Ole Miss, maybe the second
- 1:00:50Speaker 3: best defense that we have left. The reason why I
- 1:00:53Speaker 3: think– like I'm going to do sunshine pumping right now.
- 1:00:57Speaker 3: That's why I think that the offense can continue to
- 1:01:01Speaker 3: develop something. Whereas if you guys think about it last year,
- 1:01:05Speaker 3: you had LSU, which was a struggling team but still
- 1:01:08Speaker 3: had a pretty solid defense, probably like Missouri's level this year.
- 1:01:13Speaker 3: You had Alabama. Up to that point, they had a
- 1:01:16Speaker 3: good defense. You had Ole Miss, obviously. They struggled a
- 1:01:19Speaker 3: little bit against us. You had Missouri's defense, which was
- 1:01:22Speaker 3: a top five defense. Like you had all these really,
- 1:01:24Speaker 3: really tough defenses at the end of the year last year.
- 1:01:27Speaker 3: Now we've struggled through the best defenses we're going to play.
- 1:01:32Speaker 3: So if you said, all right, well, then if you're
- 1:01:35Speaker 3: going to sunshine, so just speaking to a senior Cowboys here,
- 1:01:39Speaker 3: if there's any reason to believe it's because I think
- 1:01:41Speaker 3: that you have a little bit of a runway for
- 1:01:46Speaker 3: the offense to continue to gain some confidence and to
- 1:01:48Speaker 3: grow because they're going to be going against, you know,
- 1:01:52Speaker 3: a defense that is much easier than anything they've faced,
- 1:01:56Speaker 3: you know, throughout the rest of this year. Like even Kentucky,
- 1:01:59Speaker 3: I mean, go look at Vandy's like rushing and everything.
- 1:02:02Speaker 3: Like they give up some passing to Jared Curtis, but like,
- 1:02:05Speaker 3: you know, it was, they, they did a really, really
- 1:02:08Speaker 3: good job. Kentucky's defense a lot better and well coached.
- 1:02:11Speaker 3: They're not going to give up the big, the big play,
- 1:02:13Speaker 3: and they're going to take advantage of your mistakes. You
- 1:02:16Speaker 3: can't say that about A & M. You can't really
- 1:02:18Speaker 3: say that about Ole Miss. You can't say that about
- 1:02:20Speaker 3: South Carolina. And South Carolina, I mean, what's his name? Dylan,
- 1:02:25Speaker 3: the steward, Edwards, he's only got two sacks. So, I mean,
- 1:02:32Speaker 3: it's not like he's having a nine-sack season or anything
- 1:02:35Speaker 3: like that. He had a highlight reel to end the game,
- 1:02:39Speaker 3: and then they still almost– screw that up. Like it
- 1:02:44Speaker 3: was horrible. The end of that game was one of
- 1:02:47Speaker 3: the most painful things. Cause sellers goes, I mean, we're,
- 1:02:50Speaker 3: we're complaining about like second and short, you know, and
- 1:02:52Speaker 3: with ours, like you're, all you got to do is
- 1:02:54Speaker 3: just kick a field goal.
- 1:02:56Speaker 2: They had a false start penalty. They overthrew. I mean,
- 1:02:59Speaker 2: they threw the ball and the commentators were like, I don't,
- 1:03:03Speaker 2: I'm at a loss. They just, they just quit talking.
- 1:03:06Speaker 2: So we've got poor coaching.
- 1:03:08Speaker 3: We've got some people who make some decisions that, that
- 1:03:11Speaker 3: just look quite silly. Marcel Reed's going to give up
- 1:03:14Speaker 3: the football. I think Lenores is going to give up
- 1:03:16Speaker 3: the football. I think that's– Yeah, it looks like Chambliss
- 1:03:22Speaker 3: is going to do it. So we're going to have
- 1:03:24Speaker 3: those opportunities. And the only one that I would say is,
- 1:03:28Speaker 3: you know, if A & M tries to go super conservative,
- 1:03:31Speaker 3: they can't run the football. And you're telling me that
- 1:03:35Speaker 3: you're going to say, Marcel Reed, we need you for
- 1:03:37Speaker 3: four quarters to– dink and dunk and just take what's
- 1:03:40Speaker 3: there for us. He doesn't have that type of self-control.
- 1:03:43Speaker 3: I think the only one that can potentially do it
- 1:03:46Speaker 3: is probably going to be Chambliss.
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: That's funny because, I mean, you're not wrong, but that's
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: just funny to hear that you said he ain't got
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: that kind of self-control.
- 1:03:54Speaker 3: Like none of these teams are well-coached enough to just
- 1:03:58Speaker 3: do what Georgia did and just say, guys, we're not
- 1:04:00Speaker 3: going to put the ball in harm's way or Kentucky.
- 1:04:03Speaker 3: They're going to– you have some head-scratching quarterbacks on the
- 1:04:07Speaker 3: schedule for the rest of the season.
- 1:04:10Speaker 2: Yep.
- 1:04:11Speaker 1: If we, and as mentioned, if we went out, all
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: we got to do is win out and get one
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: more loss from Kentucky. I don't think Kentucky beats Georgia
- 1:04:22Speaker 1: later this season. I actually think Georgia ends up, now
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: that they don't play Georgia, they have Tennessee, Florida, Missouri,
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: and Louisville. I think they lose one of those three
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: to either Tennessee. Actually, they may lose Tennessee. Let me see.
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: That's in two weeks. I think Tennessee should be a
- 1:04:39Speaker 1: favorite in that game. Oh, my gosh. By a slight probability. Uh-oh.
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: Something good happened?
- 1:04:44Speaker 2: We need to talk.
- 1:04:45Speaker 3: No, I mean, we need to talk Tennessee because, I mean,
- 1:04:50Speaker 3: Jim Knowles had that defense looking.
- 1:04:53Speaker 2: Silly good. And that game.
- 1:04:58Speaker 1: Was brutal in the end. Brutal in the end. That game, man.
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: Knowles locked in for the Vols. Got them in great shape,
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: and then they forgot how to play football against South
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: Carolina there.
- 1:05:15Speaker 3: Yeah, Kentucky, I mean, you're in Knoxville, and I'm assuming
- 1:05:19Speaker 3: that is 11-7, so that's not this weekend.
- 1:05:22Speaker 2: That's next weekend, right?
- 1:05:23Speaker 1: Yeah, this is their bye week. This is their bye
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: week now.
- 1:05:27Speaker 2: They get a bye. Florida at home.
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: I don't think Tennessee has a bye.
- 1:05:33Speaker 2: Yeah, nope.
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: They're open this week. LSU's open this week. Alabama's open
- 1:05:39Speaker 1: this week. Tennessee's actually a bye week. So they both
- 1:05:42Speaker 1: got a bye before they play each other. And then
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: A & M and Vandy are byes. So yeah, this
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: is the really big quiet weekend and everybody plays going forward.
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: And of course, we're one of the unfortunate teams that
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: play every single week going forward. But luckily, everybody we
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: play has the emotional games right before us. So South
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: Carolina's emotional win against Tennessee, that could help spark as
- 1:06:05Speaker 1: long as we close out. You'll have the same thing
- 1:06:08Speaker 1: with Florida. They'll play Georgia in the rivalry game right
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: before us. That could help out. Ole Miss plays against
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: Georgia as well right before us. It's always fun. A
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: & M plays Tennessee. And then we close out against Missouri,
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: who plays against Kentucky right before us. And that Kentucky
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: game may be an emotional one. That actually, at home too,
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: that could be an emotional dub.
- 1:06:39Speaker 3: Hey, I'm not in the camp of let's watch other
- 1:06:42Speaker 3: people's schedules quite yet because we've won, lost, won, lost, won, lost, won.
- 1:06:47Speaker 3: So we, by pattern, by pattern, John Mateer is going
- 1:06:55Speaker 3: to have multiple turnovers against South Carolina, and we're going
- 1:06:58Speaker 3: to lose that game. Which would then mean that we
- 1:07:00Speaker 3: go win at the Swamp, lose a home, then go
- 1:07:04Speaker 3: win in Missouri.
- 1:07:08Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: But the thing is, we have Fasusi back. And I
- 1:07:13Speaker 1: think that that changes everything. I think you win that
- 1:07:15Speaker 1: Kentucky game if Fosier doesn't fall apart and give up
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: back-to-back sacks.
- 1:07:22Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:07:25Speaker 3: Now, here's like with OU being ranked, because.
- 1:07:27Speaker 2: Again, I mean.
- 1:07:29Speaker 3: If anybody's like, yeah, OU's not ranked, I'm not going
- 1:07:32Speaker 3: to argue with them.
- 1:07:33Speaker 2: I'm not.
- 1:07:34Speaker 3: Like, yeah, you have a top five defense and you
- 1:07:38Speaker 3: have a– should be looking for a new head coach offense.
- 1:07:43Speaker 3: That being said, we have Fasusi back. We have worse–
- 1:07:48Speaker 3: we don't have the strength of opponent remaining. That's a
- 1:07:52Speaker 3: bit– that's very, very big for us. But I'm still
- 1:07:55Speaker 3: in the spots where, all right, John, go do it again.
- 1:07:58Speaker 3: You just did all this talking because sometimes he does
- 1:08:03Speaker 3: his post-game presser and people start going, well, he's such
- 1:08:07Speaker 3: a good guy.
- 1:08:08Speaker 2: I think he's going to get it together.
- 1:08:11Speaker 3: There's only been hopium to talk about John Mateer putting
- 1:08:15Speaker 3: two good games. We've got nothing to prove that that's
- 1:08:17Speaker 3: going to happen.
- 1:08:20Speaker 2: But if.
- 1:08:23Speaker 3: He plays the type of game– see, I disagree with
- 1:08:25Speaker 3: a lot of people too. If he plays the type
- 1:08:26Speaker 3: of game he did this week against South Carolina, I
- 1:08:29Speaker 3: think that we win comfortably.
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: No, I agree. But if we– if Fasusi plays every game,
- 1:08:37Speaker 1: we get Fosier back, I don't think we get him
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: back for South Carolina, but we might get him back
- 1:08:42Speaker 1: for Florida on the road, and you're able to really
- 1:08:45Speaker 1: sure up that line.
- 1:08:50Speaker 2: Maybe.
- 1:08:50Speaker 3: Maybe.
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: I'll take the 25% chance. I'll take it soon, cowboy.
- 1:08:55Speaker 1: Sign me up for it.
- 1:08:57Speaker 3: Let me see it in the chat. I'm just saying.
- 1:09:00Speaker 3: as of right now, if I could say, I guarantee
- 1:09:04Speaker 3: you 100% chance that we finish eight and four in
- 1:09:09Speaker 3: a decent bowl. If you take that or a 50%
- 1:09:14Speaker 3: chance that we end up either nine and three or
- 1:09:19Speaker 3: seven and five, I think most of us will take 8-4.
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: I'll take the 9-3 or 7-5. Okay. Because if you
- 1:09:29Speaker 1: finish 9-3, Kentucky's not going undefeated the rest of the way.
- 1:09:32Speaker 1: They're going to lose one of those three games. You
- 1:09:34Speaker 1: finish the season 9-3, you're headed to the SEC Championship game.
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: Based upon the tiebreakers and everything, you're guaranteed, unless Kentucky
- 1:09:45Speaker 1: loses all three of their games... You're guaranteed to have
- 1:09:50Speaker 1: the high. You will win the tiebreaker at everybody that
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: has two losses in conference because of the higher opponent percentage.
- 1:09:58Speaker 2: Gotcha.
- 1:09:59Speaker 1: I've already looked at all the numbers. So, yeah, you're guaranteed. Bedlam,
- 1:10:04Speaker 1: there's no quarterbacks in the portal, so we couldn't tell you.
- 1:10:08Speaker 2: Or if they are, they're not coming here.
- 1:10:11Speaker 1: Yeah, it's kind of illegal to know that. Um, you
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: got Jameson Roberts coming in as a freshman, which he's
- 1:10:18Speaker 1: going to be really good. Um, I'm excited about him,
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: but besides that, you got to see who's going to
- 1:10:24Speaker 1: actually enter the portal. So until the coaching cycle is done,
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: I ain't looking at quarterbacks. I ain't looking at offensive coordinators.
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: I don't get none of that because there are jobs
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: open and it's already been said Baylor who fired a
- 1:10:37Speaker 1: defensive minded coach, uh, The rumor that came down is
- 1:10:41Speaker 1: they want an offensive-minded guy that has ties to Texas.
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: So a lot of the guys that you actually want
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: to hire an offensive coordinator, probably going to get in
- 1:10:51Speaker 1: and get head coaching jobs.
- 1:10:54Speaker 3: I'm still calling Lincoln Riley coaches in Texas somewhere next year.
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: I don't see it.
- 1:10:59Speaker 3: I would take money because I think that I can
- 1:11:05Speaker 3: promise you this. There's people that have already had that
- 1:11:09Speaker 3: conversation about Baylor. And then now TCU, same type of situation. Hey, Link,
- 1:11:15Speaker 3: look at the fan base we got. Look at what
- 1:11:17Speaker 3: SMU's doing, I think, with you here. There is so
- 1:11:20Speaker 3: much you play in the Big 12. You don't need
- 1:11:23Speaker 3: to have a stellar defense. Remember how you kicked everybody's
- 1:11:25Speaker 3: ass in the Big 12 every single year?
- 1:11:27Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can have more of that.
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: Come back. Come back.
- 1:11:31Speaker 3: All you got to do is we can outbid Texas Tech.
- 1:11:35Speaker 3: We're now Texas Tech without a, you know, Texas Tech,
- 1:11:41Speaker 3: I mean, they lost this weekend. I think that they've
- 1:11:44Speaker 3: been at the borderline of losing multiple other games. They
- 1:11:47Speaker 3: don't have a quarterback. And I think that it's prime.
- 1:11:51Speaker 3: I think that Lincoln comes back. And I guarantee you
- 1:11:55Speaker 3: that there might be a mutual conversation there.
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: Question is, well, yeah, because they're not going to fire him.
- 1:12:02Speaker 1: They owe him like 70-something million.
- 1:12:04Speaker 2: Yeah, he's going to have to.
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: Him and Mike Norvell, unfortunately, are in situations where ain't
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: nobody going to try to find the money to pay them.
- 1:12:17Speaker 1: They would have to go take another job. And both
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: schools would agree to probably waive that buyout to get
- 1:12:25Speaker 1: rid of him. But you got to find him another job.
- 1:12:28Speaker 1: That's where the challenge is going to come in. Now, granted,
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: like I said, Baylor could be one. I could see G.J.
- 1:12:33Speaker 1: Kahn taking the Baylor job, though. They would be smart
- 1:12:39Speaker 1: to either get him or Traylor.
- 1:12:42Speaker 3: All right, so let me ask you this. Traylor's, I think,
- 1:12:46Speaker 3: the leading candidate. Traylor's, I think, the leading candidate for
- 1:12:51Speaker 3: one of those two jobs. But let me throw a
- 1:12:53Speaker 3: name out there, somebody that you guys are all familiar with,
- 1:12:55Speaker 3: and there's starting to be.
- 1:12:58Speaker 2: Some, oh, my God, look at that. Where's Jason Eck
- 1:13:02Speaker 2: coaching next year?
- 1:13:05Speaker 1: He's going to get a Big Ten SEC job, possibly.
- 1:13:10Speaker 1: If he goes Big 12, it will be because Colorado
- 1:13:14Speaker 1: found the money to move off Prime and Lovo brings
- 1:13:18Speaker 1: him in because Lovo was his AD at New Mexico.
- 1:13:22Speaker 1: But I don't see them finding the money for Prime.
- 1:13:24Speaker 3: Unless Prime wants to leave or retire.
- 1:13:28Speaker 1: Yeah, and I don't see either that either. Um, so
- 1:13:33Speaker 1: for me, it's Eck could now rumor is, and what
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: people are saying is tech could move off of McGuire.
- 1:13:43Speaker 1: That's the perfect job for Eck.
- 1:13:47Speaker 2: Just get him.
- 1:13:48Speaker 1: Perfect job.
- 1:13:49Speaker 2: But, but hold on.
- 1:13:50Speaker 1: Or Arkansas could fire their coach and grab them too.
- 1:13:55Speaker 2: Cause here's no, cause here's my problem with, with tech.
- 1:14:00Speaker 3: Is the same situation that's my problem with Texas, is
- 1:14:03Speaker 3: a guy like Eck is not going to be successful
- 1:14:08Speaker 3: coaching people looking for NIL. He wants people who are
- 1:14:14Speaker 3: going to come in there and work their backside off.
- 1:14:16Speaker 1: Well, he didn't worry about that part. That's the good
- 1:14:18Speaker 1: thing about having GMs and Cody Campbell bankrolling.
- 1:14:22Speaker 3: But I'm saying if you bankroll and you give a
- 1:14:25Speaker 3: guy– if you give a guy a bunch of money
- 1:14:28Speaker 3: and he comes in and he doesn't want to be coached,
- 1:14:30Speaker 3: like Jason, like you saw the clip from this weekend,
- 1:14:33Speaker 3: like he is going to throw your son in a,
- 1:14:36Speaker 3: you know, in an outdoor closet type of a guy,
- 1:14:38Speaker 3: like he is going to coach his butt off and
- 1:14:40Speaker 3: he is going to get in your face.
- 1:14:42Speaker 2: Like that is it.
- 1:14:43Speaker 3: And I don't think that that's going to work well
- 1:14:45Speaker 3: in the NIL first crowd, which I think is why
- 1:14:48Speaker 3: Texas struggles. And I think it's why Texas tech, it
- 1:14:51Speaker 3: can't get over the hump.
- 1:14:52Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:14:53Speaker 3: Because they don't have enough of that, like, dudes are
- 1:14:56Speaker 3: working their butt off because they're working their butt off.
- 1:14:59Speaker 3: You know, like Owen Heineke type of stuff.
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:15:04Speaker 2: But that's my soapbox.
- 1:15:05Speaker 3: I think that Eck would be a great coach at
- 1:15:08Speaker 3: a school like a Utah or a BYU. Fickle looks
- 1:15:12Speaker 3: like he's learned how to coach a little bit more.
- 1:15:14Speaker 3: And so I don't know. But I think Eck would
- 1:15:16Speaker 3: be great at Wisconsin. You said Arkansas. I think Arkansas...
- 1:15:20Speaker 3: more than any time ever, I think that you take,
- 1:15:24Speaker 3: who was the Wisconsin coach that came and coached Arkansas
- 1:15:29Speaker 3: just a few years ago?
- 1:15:30Speaker 1: What are you talking about? Not Bielema.
- 1:15:34Speaker 2: Was it, wait, was it Bielema?
- 1:15:38Speaker 1: I think it actually was Bielema. I think it was.
- 1:15:39Speaker 1: Britt Bielema, yeah. It was Bielema.
- 1:15:41Speaker 2: Somebody help us out in the chat if that's not right.
- 1:15:42Speaker 3: But, like, when he came down to Arkansas, like, they
- 1:15:46Speaker 3: were pretty good quickly. Okay, so it was Bielema. So,
- 1:15:50Speaker 3: I think that Eck is a better all-around coach. But
- 1:15:54Speaker 3: I think that you can go into the Texases and
- 1:15:56Speaker 3: the Mississippis and the Arkansas and get a lot of
- 1:15:59Speaker 3: those just Wisconsin, Minnesota style, like corn-fed, like just hard-working
- 1:16:05Speaker 3: son-of-a-guns on the offensive line and build around the offensive
- 1:16:08Speaker 3: line and then build on the defensive line. And I
- 1:16:10Speaker 3: think that if anybody's ever going to get Arkansas to
- 1:16:14Speaker 3: be good again, it's going to be somebody like Eck.
- 1:16:17Speaker 1: Yeah, I can see Arkansas going for Eck. Sending... Because
- 1:16:23Speaker 1: that situation right now is not working. They're going to
- 1:16:25Speaker 1: have to go ahead and just move on. Eck would
- 1:16:28Speaker 1: make sense. Wisconsin's not going to be available.
- 1:16:31Speaker 2: They're winning.
- 1:16:33Speaker 1: Fickle's got his job sold out for the couple years. Yeah,
- 1:16:36Speaker 1: he fickled it out. Fickle's good. Who else? Let me see.
- 1:16:40Speaker 1: Since Fickle's not on the option... Like I said, Arkansas
- 1:16:46Speaker 1: is probably the one that he could end up at.
- 1:16:50Speaker 1: Eck's going to get a good job. Let's just put
- 1:16:52Speaker 1: it that way.
- 1:16:52Speaker 3: He'd be phenomenal at Auburn, but that's not happening.
- 1:16:57Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:16:58Speaker 2: That might be.
- 1:16:59Speaker 1: Golish ain't going nowhere. They're going to give Golish another year.
- 1:17:02Speaker 1: They've won some big enough games to where they're like,
- 1:17:05Speaker 1: all right, we see the. Yeah, we actually see some
- 1:17:10Speaker 1: foundation work here. So they're going to give him. They're
- 1:17:13Speaker 1: going to give him another year.
- 1:17:14Speaker 2: Yeah, Chevy, Nebraska would be a hell of a spot too.
- 1:17:18Speaker 1: Now, there was something. I think Matt Olsen from ESPN
- 1:17:23Speaker 1: posted about Matt Rule going back to Baylor and leaving Nebraska.
- 1:17:30Speaker 2: There's a lot of Nebraska fans want that.
- 1:17:32Speaker 1: Of course they do. They haven't won any ranked games yet.
- 1:17:35Speaker 1: So you send him there to Baylor, Nebraska opens, Eck
- 1:17:40Speaker 1: goes up there, and he dominates. Granted, especially because of
- 1:17:48Speaker 1: his coaching style, the challenge for him is going to
- 1:17:50Speaker 1: be getting talent at Nebraska, but he'll coach those boys
- 1:17:53Speaker 1: up like he's doing in New Mexico. That's a good one.
- 1:17:56Speaker 2: It's crazy.
- 1:17:57Speaker 3: I mean, so if you guys aren't paying attention, like,
- 1:18:00Speaker 3: their only loss is us. And they lost their quarterback.
- 1:18:05Speaker 3: They are literally throwing out a prayer. But that defense,
- 1:18:09Speaker 3: you know, we were really frustrated about 14 points. Like,
- 1:18:12Speaker 3: that defense– He's.
- 1:18:15Speaker 1: An offensive-minded coach, former offensive lineman. He's a former OC,
- 1:18:20Speaker 1: O-line coach, and he knows what he's doing, and he's
- 1:18:24Speaker 1: been his team, 5-1, 2-0 in conference, and they're kicking
- 1:18:29Speaker 1: everybody's tail.
- 1:18:30Speaker 3: They just shut down South Dakota State, which is known
- 1:18:35Speaker 3: for the great offenses even since they've moved up. Yeah,
- 1:18:38Speaker 3: I mean– And I'm wondering what their points per game
- 1:18:43Speaker 3: that they're giving up, because I think that they're up there.
- 1:18:46Speaker 2: Points per game is less than....
- 1:18:50Speaker 1: 15 a game. They're in the top 10 in points
- 1:18:57Speaker 1: per game, scoring defense. I'm sorry, they're number one. They're
- 1:19:01Speaker 1: 11 points per game. North Dakota State is third. Indiana
- 1:19:07Speaker 1: second at 12 points. We're 24 at 16.7. But they're
- 1:19:15Speaker 1: number one in the country at 11 points per game.
- 1:19:17Speaker 1: They don't give up points. All right. It's going to
- 1:19:24Speaker 1: be an interesting week. We'll talk more South Carolina on
- 1:19:26Speaker 1: Wednesday on the live show like we always do. Thank
