• 0:21
  Speaker 1: what happened over the weekend? Yes, I did.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: Yes, I did.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: The immortal words of Ernest T. Bass from the Andy
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Griffith Show when he asked him about the heavyweight thunderstorm.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Big brainstorm we got last night. He goes, yeah, I
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: was out there in it. So, yeah. up there in
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Dallas for that, but there was a lot more and
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: other things that happened during the course of the weekend.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Plenty of things to talk about, including the Texas OU
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: game and the moving on to getting ready for the
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Florida Gators. We welcome you to the program here on
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio AM 13 Under the Zone and the iHeartRadio app.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: My name is Craig Wade. Thanks very much for joining us.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: We're with you each and every weekday afternoon, Monday through
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Friday from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: The....
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Producer of the program is Jay Kerman. You see him,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: for those of you watching on YouTube, he's there as well.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: And among the things that we'll get to, this, of course,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: being a Longhorns Monday, and what that means on Monday
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: is we are over on campus in the late morning
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: and bring you the weekly press conference with Longhorns head
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: coach Steve Sarkeesian live from campus at 1130. We did
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: do that this morning. Additionally, what we then do is,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Jake is back here getting it all edited and everything,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: and then during the course of the day-to-day, we will
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: bring you kind of the recast of the press conference,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: setting up the sound bites. You'll still hear Sark's comments
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: to everything. We'll just set them up instead of just
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: running the whole press conference through, but you will hear
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: every comment that he made in that press conference. Also,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: there is the NFL conference. Now, on Friday, when we
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: were in Dallas up at Bar W on Maple Avenue,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: we did have the original first blush reaction to the
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Cowboys' loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday night.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: So there is that, and there's more to discuss with that. However,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: there is a win for the Houston Texans to review.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: They are in the win column for the first time
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: this year. They are a one and four now. So
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: there's that. There were some other interesting results that happened
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: in the NFL yesterday afternoon and last night. What an
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: absolutely bizarre ending to the game in Washington or Northwest
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Stadium there. Is it actually in Landover, Maryland? Is that
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: where it is, Jay?
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: That's right.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Remember for a while when it first opened as FedEx Field,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: they said it was in Raljohn, Maryland. Maryland, like Ralph
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: and John, whatever the people are. It was R-A-L-J-O-N. They
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: called it Ralph John, Maryland, which I thought was weird.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I thought it was in Landover, you know. And I
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: remember going out there and then you have to be
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: careful where you park the media thing. When Texas played Maryland,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: they're having to cross double sets of railroad tracks where
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: the commuter trains went out there and all that sort
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: of stuff for the game. But what a bizarre ending
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: it was. to that game between Washington and the New
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: York Giants. We'll talk about that. Major League Baseball is
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: now into its final four. I'll look back at how
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: the Cleveland Guardians came all the way back to knock
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: off the Chicago White Sox, and now they stand poised
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: to take on the top seed in the American League,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Rays, starting tonight, game one. Game one
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: of the National League Championship Series was last night. It
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: was all as advertised, the pitcher's duel. between the Milwaukee
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Brewers and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Brewers won it 2-1.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: They lead one game to none. Game two of that
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: series begins this afternoon just past 4 o'clock. And in
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: our third hour, we'll keep folks updated on that. So,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: a lot on the table today. We'll hear from Sark.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: We're also going to hear from Arch Banning, too, because
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: many of you have had thoughts, questions, comments, wonderings about
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: not only Sark, but about Arch as well. And as always, win, lose,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: whatever the situation might be, we do open up the
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: text line for you, for your thoughts, your questions, your comments.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: All you have to do is text the word Texas,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: followed by your question or comment to 81530. So you
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: text the word Texas, followed by your question or comment
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: to 81530. Standard messaging and data rates may apply. Where
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: do we begin? Jay Carman.
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: What a tough football weekend.
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: I mean, for fans of The Longhorns for fans of
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: the Cowboys and the Commanders.
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: Obviously, you mentioned the Texans got a win.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: And the weekend's not over for me as a football
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: fan because my group is playing tonight. And I don't
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: know if they're going to beat the Buffalo Bills. So, yeah.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: I told Linda, you know, sometimes I have these weekends
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: where the teams I'm fully invested in one way or
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: another all lose on a given weekend. It's like a
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: clean sweep. Football, baseball, whatever. So far, that's the case.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: I don't really include North Texas in this case because
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: the alma mater was playing a winless Charlotte team. I
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: knew they were going to beat them and they hammered them.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: So I don't really include them in that. But for me,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: as having vested interest either as a broadcaster for Texas
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: or as a rooting interest for football or baseball, the Dodgers,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: wanted the Cowboys to win Thursday night. You know, those
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: kinds of things. Yeah, so far it's gone over. weekend
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: so we'll we'll see we'll see what happens and it
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: was so for you because of that weird weird ending
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: to the Washington New York game it's.
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: Kind of those endings that make you want to just
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: absolutely unplug the tv unplug the season and and start
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: over I'm not sure how Dan Quinn comes back from
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: it we'll hear from him a little bit later on
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: when it when it comes to this it was just
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: just a complete head scratcher. And look, in college, Craig,
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: we saw the SEC kind of SEC this weekend. I mean,
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: there were ranked teams going down. LSU loses to Kentucky.
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: You got the controversy in Georgia, Alabama, which was such
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: a well-played game. It's a shame the officiating did have
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: such a big impact to help georgia out at the
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: end but but the bulldogs absolutely deserving of the win
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: the way they played on the road gunner stockton impressive
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: and it's just it's just one of those weekends that
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: that makes you realize nothing is taken for granted in
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: college football especially not on rivalry weekend and we all
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: got a reminder of that on saturday afternoon uh.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah absolutely and and and by the way when when
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: jake says about the officiating factory in the sec agreed
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: with him don't know if you saw the statement about
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: what they did we'll get to that Let me jump
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: back to the NFL and start with the bizarre. We'll
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: take a break, and then when we come back from that,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: we'll jump into the Longhorns and the press conference with
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: the comments from Steve Sarkisian. And what I'm talking about is,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: in case you did not hear about what happened with
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: the Commanders-Giants game, the game was tied after Washington had
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: a 14-point lead. The Giants come back. Giants were driving...
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: for what looked to be a game-winning field goal try,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: and Cam Scadaboo fumbled, and the commanders were covered. They
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: had no timeouts left, but they had time. They had
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: more than a minute to drive down the field. I
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: think a minute 55 when they got possession of it.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: And they crossed midfield, and Jaden Daniels had a couple
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: of nice runs, a big run, then a screen pass
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: up the sideline. They got a first down. They got
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: out of bounds. But then they were starting... like what,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: around the 30-yard line or 25-yard line with about 55
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: seconds left. And there was a handoff and a running
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: play that moved, I guess, inside the 25 down to
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: about the 23 because it was going to be about
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: a 40-yard field goal try. And the clock's just moving
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: and moving, and nobody's in a real big hurry, and
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: it's under 30 seconds. And if you're just watching and
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: you know football, you know it's no big deal that
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: it's running on that. All you have to do is
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: make sure to spike the football line or throw it
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: out of bounds or whatever, or get out of bounds, whatever.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: But if you're in the middle of the field and
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: you're trying to set up a game-winning field goal try
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: like Oklahoma did, Mateer ran laterally and then touched down.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: But the difference is Oklahoma had a timeout, and they
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: used the timeout to set up the game-winning field goal.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: In the case of Washington, all they had to do was,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: with the clock, running continuously inside of 20 seconds, all
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: they had to do was throw the ball out of bounds.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: That's not what happened. This is the call on Commander's Radio,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Bram Weinstein, right? And London Fletcher, the former Washington and
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Los Angeles Rams linebacker, I guess St. Louis Rams when
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: London was playing for them. But anyway, here's the call
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: and their utter amazement at how this game wound up.
• 9:12
  Speaker 7: If they're gonna run the ball here, they've gotta get down,
• 9:14
  Speaker 7: get set, and spike it. In motion, Ben Sitton, 15
• 9:17
  Speaker 7: on the clock. Daniels, play action, rolling to the left.
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: Goes down now at the 25 yard line.
• 9:24
  Speaker 7: There's only seven seconds on the clock.
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: There are no timeouts. This is gonna end up in
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: a tie if they don't spike it. It ends up
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: in a tie.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 9:35
  Speaker 8: You gotta be kidding me.
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: This is the end.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Of the game.
• 9:45
  Speaker 7: But Jaden has to throw this football away.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: That's the only.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness.
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: You better be kidding me.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: You can't take a sack.
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: I mean, not a sack.
• 9:55
  Speaker 9: You can't get tackled in the middle of the field.
• 9:59
  Speaker 7: They call it pass play.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not how you execute. That's brutal.
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: That's on us.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Pass on us.
• 10:11
  Speaker 7: The Giants gave them a break, gave them.
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: Life, fumbled the ball in.
• 10:15
  Speaker 7: A situation where all they needed to do was run
• 10:17
  Speaker 7: the clock out and pick a field goal. Washington gets
• 10:20
  Speaker 7: all the way down in the field goal position and
• 10:22
  Speaker 7: mismanages the final 30 seconds without a timeout. And they're
• 10:25
  Speaker 7: unable to spike it to get their field goal unit
• 10:29
  Speaker 7: on for a win.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: And it ends up in a 27-27 tie. They call
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: a pass play.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Are you.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: You got to communicate to Jaden. If he doesn't have
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: an opportunity to not have.
• 10:46
  Speaker 7: An open receiver right away, you got to throw that
• 10:48
  Speaker 7: football away.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: You cannot. That's just a lack of communication, lack of
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: understanding of the situation.
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: And, Dan, I don't even know what to say.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: I think you just said it, London Fletcher. Really and truly,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: I think the only thing you really should do is
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: never mind about throwing the ball way away. When you're
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: getting under center with whatever it was, 18 seconds left
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: or 20 seconds left, take a step back, take a knee,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: then get them back to the line of scrims with
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: about 10 seconds left, run it down to about five
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: and then spike it.
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: That's it.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Not that hard.
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: Organizational failure.
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: Those are the words that these guys were looking for
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: that as they're shocked in the moment, they're unable to say.
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: But it's organizational failure from the quarterback down to the OC,
• 11:35
  Speaker 6: up to the head quarterback, up to the OC, up
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: to the head coach.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was difficult. From the head coach, Dan Quinn
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: was asked about the clock management.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: We pride ourselves on those moments at the end of
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: the game. And after the first down run, you know,
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: still trying to gain more for the kick.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Right calls, honestly, we can go clock it early.
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: Don't put ourselves in that spot, and that's my responsibility.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Nobody else's. All right, but does it really fall on
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels to execute clocking the ball?
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: The sequencing of that does not fall on him. It's
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: an outside throw or a clock. Those are the two,
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: an out-of-bounds throw or a clock. It has to come
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: from me. I don't even have to put him into
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: that spot. I can do that earlier, and we can
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: finish the kick earlier. We don't need to gain more yards,
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: so that's on me.
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: The only spike was the headset.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and he did do that. He slammed that headset down.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: That probably is not workable. It's probably not in working
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: function now after that. Okay. Anyway, so there is that.
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: Everybody in the NFC East played this week. Two teams
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: played one another. Nobody won the football game. Nobody got
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: a win in the NFC East.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. And I saw several people saying, boy, that
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: says an awful lot about the NFC East that they
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: went winless through the weekend. Pretty amazing when you consider
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: two of the teams were playing one another.
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: And another one in Philadelphia. I don't know how early
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: you got up to watch the London game.
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: Well, you didn't have to wake up early to see
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: the Eagles lead with under 10 seconds to go and
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: blow it.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Kicked off, kickoff return all the way across midfield and
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: got down with about a second and a half left.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Set the stage game winning walk-off field goal for the Jaguars. So, yeah,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: tough weekend for the NFC East as well. Okay, I
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: wanted to hear a little bit of D'Amico Ryan since
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: the Texans did get their first win of the season,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: and it was on the road beating the Tennessee Titans.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: So here's D'Amico starting off with his opening comments.
• 13:41
  Speaker 10: Our guys stayed the course.
• 13:42
  Speaker 11: It's been difficult the first couple weeks of the season,
• 13:44
  Speaker 11: but proud of the guys is how everyone kept believing,
• 13:47
  Speaker 11: kept the faith, and everybody kept pushing it today. It
• 13:50
  Speaker 11: was a great example of when we play complementary football,
• 13:53
  Speaker 11: all three phases working together, that's the type of team
• 13:56
  Speaker 11: that we can be.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: He was asked what parts of the team played at
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: a higher level in the game.
• 14:01
  Speaker 11: It was just our execution. We executed really well. We
• 14:04
  Speaker 11: controlled the game. Offensively, they did an outstanding job of
• 14:07
  Speaker 11: driving the football down in the first half. We got
• 14:10
  Speaker 11: stalled out in the red zone a couple times by
• 14:12
  Speaker 11: self-inflicted penalties, but we were able to kick field goals,
• 14:15
  Speaker 11: put points on the board.
• 14:16
  Speaker 10: Amy did a really nice job there.
• 14:18
  Speaker 11: And then the second half is where we've struggled as
• 14:20
  Speaker 11: a team, felt like collecting when we came out in
• 14:23
  Speaker 11: the second half and we finished the game really well.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Okay, and then about C.J. Stroud? C.J.
• 14:28
  Speaker 11: Did an outstanding job with just, I mean, making play
• 14:31
  Speaker 11: after play when we needed it.
• 14:33
  Speaker 10: He was dealing.
• 14:34
  Speaker 11: He was throwing the ball at everyone who was open,
• 14:37
  Speaker 11: making really great decisions with the football. and able to
• 14:41
  Speaker 11: get him a rushing touchdown in there as well.
• 14:43
  Speaker 10: So he's been doing a.
• 14:45
  Speaker 11: Great job all year, so I'm thankful to be able
• 14:48
  Speaker 11: to celebrate him at this time. He's been leading our
• 14:51
  Speaker 11: offense really well, and he's very deserving of everything.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Texans with a win, and then they made a trade
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: to get Marvin Harrison Jr. away from the Arizona Cardinals.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: We'll have more about that coming up. But up next...
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: We'll hear from Longhorn's head coach, Steve Sarkeesian, from the
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: press conference this morning as part of Longhorn's Monday here
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: on Sports Radio AM 13 under the zone at the
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app. Let's hear from Longhorn's head coach, Steve Sarkeesian,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: where he was at the news conference and here was
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: his opening comments.
• 15:24
  Speaker 12: Obviously, a lot of the same sentiments from Saturday feel
• 15:27
  Speaker 12: kind of the same on a Monday and Glad I
• 15:30
  Speaker 12: got a chance to be with the team this morning. Obviously,
• 15:32
  Speaker 12: there's a level of disappointment, frustration coming out of the ballgame.
• 15:38
  Speaker 12: First and foremost, I want to thank our fans. I
• 15:40
  Speaker 12: thought our fans were tremendous Saturday going to Dallas, supporting us.
• 15:43
  Speaker 12: Appreciate all that they do. Great to get back to
• 15:47
  Speaker 12: DKR this weekend. The idea that the success we've had
• 15:52
  Speaker 12: at home with the 12-game winning streak, I think 23-1
• 15:55
  Speaker 12: in our last 24 games. The friendly confines of DKR
• 16:00
  Speaker 12: are important. As we touched on Saturday, our ability to
• 16:03
  Speaker 12: create turnovers is critical to our success. We've got a
• 16:07
  Speaker 12: 26 game winning streak or 26 game streak of creating
• 16:11
  Speaker 12: a turnover at DKR. So we got to continue that Saturday.
• 16:14
  Speaker 12: That's going to be important to what we do. But ultimately,
• 16:18
  Speaker 12: I think getting back to playing our brand, our style
• 16:20
  Speaker 12: of football and, uh, You know, a lot of times
• 16:23
  Speaker 12: adversity strikes and we can all feel bad about it.
• 16:26
  Speaker 12: And I view it as an opportunity for us to
• 16:28
  Speaker 12: really grow and get better. I think we can capitalize
• 16:31
  Speaker 12: on this adversity, make us stronger, make us better, and
• 16:35
  Speaker 12: reap the benefits of this adversity in November and into December.
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: So looking forward to that opportunity.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: All right. Then to the questions. First of all, was
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: asked about quarterback development and consistency, given that Arch Manning
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: now has 21 starts under his belt.
• 16:49
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean, I think everybody's a little bit different.
• 16:51
  Speaker 12: Everybody's path, everybody's journey is different. The players around you
• 16:55
  Speaker 12: are different, so on and so forth. I think Arch, again,
• 16:58
  Speaker 12: is on a nice trajectory.
• 17:02
  Speaker 10: I hate it for him.
• 17:03
  Speaker 12: He has two interceptions in the fourth quarter of that
• 17:05
  Speaker 12: game when, quite frankly, I thought he played pretty.
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: Good up until that point.
• 17:08
  Speaker 12: And that's the frustrating part, but that's the level of
• 17:11
  Speaker 12: consistency that's needed. We know he can be really good
• 17:14
  Speaker 12: in critical moments. We saw that here against Ohio State.
• 17:17
  Speaker 12: We saw it in a fourth-quarter drive against Tennessee. So
• 17:20
  Speaker 12: just getting him back to that, playing with confidence and
• 17:23
  Speaker 12: trusting his ability and the guys around him.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Okay. Next, he was asked, you know, one thing that
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: he's talked about is trying to get takeaways. And in
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: the two SEC games, they haven't been able to do it.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: So has he noticed some reasons looking at video for
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: the lack of takeaways?
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's the hard part.
• 17:42
  Speaker 12: You know, we emphasize it, we preach it, we go
• 17:46
  Speaker 12: after it, we do multiple drills in practice. And so
• 17:49
  Speaker 12: I think, you know, the turnover margin is twofold, right? One,
• 17:52
  Speaker 12: our ability to take care of the ball. Two, our
• 17:54
  Speaker 12: ability to create those turnovers. And so we've been playing
• 17:57
  Speaker 12: really good defense, do not get me wrong, like fantastic defense.
• 18:01
  Speaker 12: How do we go to another level? We got to
• 18:02
  Speaker 12: get the ball off of people. And we are more
• 18:05
  Speaker 12: than capable of doing that. We got to continue to
• 18:07
  Speaker 12: emphasize it. I always say like, I talk about the
• 18:10
  Speaker 12: dam on offense getting ready to break. I think the
• 18:12
  Speaker 12: dam and creating turnovers defensively is getting ready to break.
• 18:15
  Speaker 12: But we've got to keep preaching it. We've got to
• 18:17
  Speaker 12: keep practicing it. We've got to keep going after it.
• 18:20
  Speaker 12: And I really believe that when we get one, we're
• 18:22
  Speaker 12: going to get two. When we get two, we're going
• 18:23
  Speaker 12: to get three.
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Next, he was asked about special teams. We're almost at
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: the numerical halfway mark of the season. So he was asked,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: is he going to make any changes with his special
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: teams coaching here at midseason?
• 18:39
  Speaker 12: History is the best indicator of the future, and we've
• 18:42
  Speaker 12: been good on special teams for quite some time around here.
• 18:45
  Speaker 12: You know, I have a lot of faith in Coach
• 18:48
  Speaker 12: Banks and his schemes, and I have a lot of
• 18:50
  Speaker 12: faith in our players to get that done. Sometimes you
• 18:53
  Speaker 12: go through lulls like you do on offense or like
• 18:55
  Speaker 12: you do on defense, and I don't question our ability
• 18:59
  Speaker 12: to coach our way out of that, you know, compete
• 19:02
  Speaker 12: our way out of that to get back to the
• 19:04
  Speaker 12: standard of which we play special teams.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Okay, next, asked to assess His play calling, because that's
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: one thing I know fans love to point out and say,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: there needs to be a play caller. There needs to
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: be an offensive coordinator to call the play, so on
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: and so forth. And Sarkis said he's going to continue
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: to call the plays. So he was asked, how would
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: he assess his part in the play calling right now?
• 19:29
  Speaker 12: I was just talking about that on special teams. I
• 19:31
  Speaker 12: think you can go through, um, Evan flows of, you know,
• 19:35
  Speaker 12: rhythm and scheme and tied it all together and the
• 19:39
  Speaker 12: personnel and all those things. And so clearly we've been
• 19:42
  Speaker 12: just a little bit off. I think we're close and
• 19:46
  Speaker 12: that's the encouraging part and I think we can get
• 19:48
  Speaker 12: there and so that's that's the challenge you know I
• 19:51
  Speaker 12: think you know like anything when you when you think
• 19:55
  Speaker 12: about a play caller you think about a great player
• 19:58
  Speaker 12: you think about a great offense we always think about
• 20:00
  Speaker 12: the best things that they've ever done And there's always
• 20:03
  Speaker 12: moments throughout a year where you maybe have lulls. And
• 20:06
  Speaker 12: our job is to work our way through that lull.
• 20:09
  Speaker 12: We're always going to get held to the standard of
• 20:10
  Speaker 12: what we can be. And that's our job to work
• 20:13
  Speaker 12: through this lull that we're in to be as explosive
• 20:16
  Speaker 12: of an offense that we can be.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: And then asked about, you know, Derek Cooper had a
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: couple of carries, only two in the second half after
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: some efficient carries in the first half. I was asked,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: was that as much in the rhythm of the game
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: or was it something specific?
• 20:30
  Speaker 12: I think it was a game flow. It's hard when
• 20:32
  Speaker 12: you've got three backs and you're trying to rotate them
• 20:34
  Speaker 12: in there. It's a little bit of a different world
• 20:37
  Speaker 12: for me that way, where historically we've had kind of
• 20:39
  Speaker 12: one guy with a backup, and now we're trying to
• 20:42
  Speaker 12: incorporate three guys, and they're all very talented players to
• 20:46
  Speaker 12: their own right.
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: Derek is earning more opportunities.
• 20:49
  Speaker 12: Obviously, he was coming off of the injury, and so
• 20:52
  Speaker 12: the more he continues to do, the more opportunities he'll get.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: Okay, and then one more this hour from Sark. asked
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: about the offense and his thoughts about why it hasn't
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: been clicking. Is it execution or scheme? The question that
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: gets asked quite a bit.
• 21:06
  Speaker 12: I think I always can do better. You know, I
• 21:08
  Speaker 12: always look at myself first. My job is to put
• 21:11
  Speaker 12: our players in the best position to be successful. And
• 21:14
  Speaker 12: if we're not hitting on all cylinders, if we're having
• 21:16
  Speaker 12: three and outs, if we're turning the ball over, clearly
• 21:19
  Speaker 12: I have to look at what we're doing and what
• 21:21
  Speaker 12: we're asking of them to do first. And then are
• 21:24
  Speaker 12: they executing what we're asking of them to do? And
• 21:27
  Speaker 12: are those things that we're asking them to do things
• 21:29
  Speaker 12: that they do well? And so I think it's a
• 21:31
  Speaker 12: combination of all that. But ultimately, that's my job. And
• 21:35
  Speaker 12: I take full responsibility of that.
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 21:37
  Speaker 10: All right.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: We'll hear more from Arch. I mean, well, we will
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: hear from Arch Manuel. We'll hear more from Sark coming
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: up next hour as well. Up next, Inconceivable here on
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: a Monday afternoon on Sports Radio AM 13 under the
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: zone and the iHeartRadio app. So the text line and
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: I had a couple of offerings here. One A person
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: said he was listening to Bob Shipley over the weekend.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: He had a great quote in regards to the inept
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: offense and catastrophic special teams. He said, there has to
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: be a change or nothing will change. He stated the
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: SART needs to hire an offensive coordinator. Texas points per
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: game has steadily decreased over the past three years and
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: on pace to make it four years. If your radio
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: station's ratings decrease for four consecutive years, a doubt upper
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: management would bury their head in the sand and say
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: everything's fine here, nothing to see. That's apples and oranges
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: because they look at it completely different, it's not all
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: in one model in radio, it's different shows, different stations,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: things like that, but I get your point on the deal,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: and they had 382 yards of offense in the game,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: so it wasn't like it was inept, but at the
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: times they needed to be effective, they could not do it,
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: and so in there, I agree with you, and Bob
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Shipley knows an awful lot about things too, here's the thing,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: and Sark was asked about it in the press conference,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: You know, are you changing anything? Are you doing anything
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: with the... It doesn't seem like it makes much sense
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: you fire your special teams coach in the middle of
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: the season. You know, and as Sark pointed out, we
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: heard the soundbite from him earlier, they've had big special
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: teams moments last year, certainly. So it's not like Jeff
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Banks forgot how to coach from last year to this year.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: But they have to be better on special teams. There's
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: some things that can't... It can't be things like Getting
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: ready to punt, you have to spend time out. Or
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: field goal, you have to spend time out because you
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: don't have the right personnel in a certain situation. Totally
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: agree with that. You got to be organized on that deal.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Got to be able to block better against a punt
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: since you don't get a punt blocked. You know, last year,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Ryan Niblett had three gigantic punt returns. And he's had
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: a couple of decent ones, but has not had the
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: big breakaway one yet. So those are areas where they've
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: got to be better. Gianni Spedic had not missed a
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: field goal until he missed the 52-yarder there toward the
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: end of the ball game there. Certainly had the length.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: It wasn't about the length. It was just being able
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: to get it on the mark, a little bit of
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: swirling wind up there.
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well, the game started with a kick out of
• 24:10
  Speaker 6: bounds too, just little things.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, little things. Got to be better in the little things,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: no doubt about it. All right, second hour of the
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: program coming up right here on Sports Radio AM 1300
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: Zone and the iHeartRadio app. Ramirez to right field.
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: Pretty deep.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: That ball is.
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: Gone!
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: He's done it again!
• 24:58
  Speaker 13: Jose Ramirez will not be denied! The 2-2 delivery.
• 25:04
  Speaker 10: Swing!
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: Update with a raise. The Cleveland Guardians.
• 25:15
  Speaker 14: Down to a nine count when they left here on Monday.
• 25:22
  Speaker 14: Pick themselves up off the canvas and win 3-0.
• 25:30
  Speaker 13: And move on to the American League Championship Series.
• 25:33
  Speaker 10: The 2-0 hit in the air.
• 25:35
  Speaker 13: Left center field.
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: Pretty well struck.
• 25:38
  Speaker 10: Pahez back near the wall.
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: And it's out of here.
• 25:43
  Speaker 13: Into the bullpen to left center field. Bryce Turang touches
• 25:47
  Speaker 13: them all. And the Brewers are on the board.
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: Who says they don't slug?
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: It's 1-1.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Here's Lara now. And the pitch. Swing and a ground ball.
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: Base hit up the middle.
• 26:01
  Speaker 13: Here comes Mitchell racing around third.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Mitchell is in to score.
• 26:05
  Speaker 13: Luis Lara, RBI single. And the Brewers have the lead
• 26:08
  Speaker 13: in the bottom of the fifth.
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: 2-1.
• 26:11
  Speaker 13: Small ball does the job.
• 26:14
  Speaker 9: Right, and who says 22 or under? Can't do the job,
• 26:19
  Speaker 9: so you see Pratt bunt the ball over, get the
• 26:22
  Speaker 9: runner in scoring position, and Lara delivers with the big hit,
• 26:26
  Speaker 9: and he didn't waste any time.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Betts waits the pitch.
• 26:29
  Speaker 13: Swing and a fly ball center field.
• 26:31
  Speaker 10: Playable Mitchell.
• 26:32
  Speaker 13: He goes back on an attack, but he makes the catch,
• 26:37
  Speaker 13: and the.
• 26:38
  Speaker 10: Brewers have captured game one.
• 26:40
  Speaker 13: McGill able to finish it off, and the Brewers hang
• 26:43
  Speaker 13: on for a one-run, game-one win. Milwaukee 2 and L.A. 1.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Major League Baseball down.
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: To its final four after a thrilling.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: Win on Saturday night for the Cleveland Guardians. You heard
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: Tom Hamlin's call there, the Jose Ramirez home run. They
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: won 2-0 over the White Sox, overcoming a two-game-to-none deficit.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: In fact, dropping the first two games at home in Cleveland.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Went to Chicago, won two games, then went back to
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Cleveland and won... Game five, the White Sox completely just
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: disappeared offensively. They struck out 21 times on Saturday night,
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: managed three hits, being shut out 2-0. That advanced the
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: Guardians to the American League Championship Series against Cleveland. Welcome
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: you back. Hour number two of the program here on
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio AM 13 Under the Zone. Craig Way alongside
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: the producer, Jay Kerman. And coming up here in a
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: few minutes, more on the Houston Texans. We're going to
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: hear from Arch Manning. We're going to hear more from
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Longhorn's head coach, Steve Sarkeesian, some other college football notes.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: We'll get to those and other NFL notes, but just
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: starting off the top of the hour with baseball. The
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: 21 strikeouts that the White Sox had were the most
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: in a nine-inning playoff game and the most in any
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: regular or postseason game since 1900. Minotaka Murakami and Andrew
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Benatendi struck out four times each, and Then in addition
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: to that, Kyle Teal and Chase Mydraw struck out three
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: times each. So that was kind of tough. So Cleveland
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: moves on, and now the Guardians get the Tampa Bay Rays,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: who had the best record in the American League. The
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: top two teams in the National League squared off last night.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: Game one was last night. Game one for the American
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: League Championship Series is tonight at Tropicana Field.
• 28:40
  Speaker 10: And St.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Petersburg with Tampa Bay hosting Cleveland. Now, in the National League,
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: they began last night in Milwaukee. Pitchers duel, and the
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: Milwaukee Brewers got an absolutely stellar effort out of their
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: bullpen after Jacob Mizorowski was kind of hot and cold
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: a little bit and only was able to make it through,
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: I think, four and two-thirds innings. But the bullpen was stellar.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: They limited the Dodgers to one run. That was in
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: the second inning.
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: L.A.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: Left the bases loaded. after having them loaded with a
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: run in and only one out. Couldn't get anything after that.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: Stranded more runners in scoring position in the entire postseason.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: The Dodgers are two for 22 with runners in scoring position.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: So that's something they've got to fix or their hopes
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: to three-peat will be gone. Huge game tonight, this afternoon.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: It starts an hour from now in Milwaukee. Logan Henderson
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: will go for the Brewers and the Dodgers will turn
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: to their ace. They'll turn to Yoshinobu Yamamoto to try
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: to get it squared before it moves to Los Angeles
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: for games three and four. And if LA wins today
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: or any time during the next couple of games, then
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: there will be a game five there. And that would
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: be Wednesday, Thursday, Friday would be how those games would go.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: So.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: That would be during the rest of this week. So tonight,
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: this afternoon, is game two, Brewers-Dodgers. And then tonight is
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: game one, Rays and Guardians. Big, big efforts there. And
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: so we'll see what happens in the Cleveland-Tampa Bay Series
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: as they get it going tonight. There's one Monday night
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: football game tonight, Rams-Buffalo Bills. That's a pretty entertaining thing.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: Cowboys licking their wounds coming off of Thursday night's really
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: flat performance tonight. in a loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: They play the Packers on Sunday night. The Packers looked
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: pretty sharp yesterday in putting down the Bears. There were
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: other big high drama games. The 49ers over the Seahawks
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: was certainly one of those. The Vikings are still undefeated.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: They managed to outlast the Saints. We told you about
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: the bizarre innings in both the Philadelphia-Jacksonville and Washington-New York
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: Giants games. The Washington-Giants game wound up being a 27-all tie.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: The Philadelphia-Jacksonville game was played in London and went down
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: to two scores. First time in NFL history. They said
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: since 1966, so there's been roughly 18,000 games played since
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: the merger, that two last possession scores happened in the
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: final eight seconds of a game. Wow. That's never happened before.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: But it did happen yesterday outside of the United States.
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but it almost happened in Rio too, right? We
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: were just off from that. These international games have been crazy.
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: One more big storyline, Craig. Chargers are 0-5.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. The Dolphins we expect to be on five.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: Titans we expect to be on five. Not the Chargers.
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: No.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: And they led a lot of that game against Denver.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: They were up 17-7 in the half.
• 31:51
  Speaker 6: Denver keeps snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. They've
• 31:53
  Speaker 6: got a little bit of 2024 Vikings going on right now.
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: They have some issues that need to be sorted on offense.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But they did get the win on that. On
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: the text line, somebody said, I had Fletcher's bag up
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: two corny dogs on my way out of the fair.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: I refrigerated immediately. At noon, I used the patented Craigway
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: reheating method of using the air fryer. My wife and
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: two teenage kids said they tasted great. I wouldn't know.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Next year, I guess I'll buy three or four. Craig,
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: this is your impact. Yeah, I stumbled into that one.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: I'm glad it worked out well. I didn't take any home.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: The lines were so long and, quite frankly, wasn't really
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: in much of a mood to wait in a long line.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: I had to get Will Matthews back to the hotel.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: That was going to take a while. It took us
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: an hour just when we were pulling out of the
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: parking lot from there to get to the hotel, which
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: was 3.8 miles away. It took us an hour. to
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: get Will back there. So it was, yeah, it was
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: a long day's journey in tonight, obviously. Toward that end,
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: we'll get to Arch Manning here in just a couple
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: of minutes, but I want to hear more from D'Amico Ryans.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: He was asked about how his defense responded to him
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: becoming the defensive play caller.
• 33:09
  Speaker 11: The defense did an outstanding job today. You know, Taking
• 33:12
  Speaker 11: the football away. Jake Hansen did a great job taking
• 33:15
  Speaker 11: the ball. Dom Robinson got one out. We were able
• 33:18
  Speaker 11: to recover the fumble. Our D-line, I mean, they got
• 33:22
  Speaker 11: after it when we needed them to. They put a
• 33:25
  Speaker 11: lot of pressure on the quarterbacks. Our players did an
• 33:27
  Speaker 11: outstanding job today.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: One of those guys certainly was Will Anderson.
• 33:31
  Speaker 11: Will is, he is our guy. I like to see
• 33:34
  Speaker 11: what he's able to do every week. The guy is
• 33:37
  Speaker 11: a tenacious player, relentless every single snap. I mean, there's
• 33:42
  Speaker 11: no better competitor, no better person than Will Anderson. So
• 33:45
  Speaker 11: to see him go out and dominate the game by
• 33:47
  Speaker 11: getting three sacks, it's just an outstanding performance by him.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: Okay, and then how is moving Anderson around in the
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: formation worked out being so effective?
• 33:56
  Speaker 11: The first thing with Will is he's a very smart
• 33:57
  Speaker 11: player who can pick up on a lot of different
• 34:00
  Speaker 11: things we're trying to do. We have to change the
• 34:01
  Speaker 11: picture for the offense line as best as we can.
• 34:03
  Speaker 11: You have a guy who can rush well in the
• 34:07
  Speaker 11: interior on guards, also over a center. but on the
• 34:10
  Speaker 11: edge as well, so we can put him anywhere. He's
• 34:13
  Speaker 11: always up for the challenge, and the D-line loves when
• 34:15
  Speaker 11: they can stand up and move around and make plays
• 34:17
  Speaker 11: on the inside. So he's doing a great job of
• 34:20
  Speaker 11: trying to eliminate him from getting chipped on the edge
• 34:22
  Speaker 11: so much. So he's doing a great job of executing
• 34:24
  Speaker 11: those things we have for him inside.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: All right, we'll hear more from Domingo coming up next hour.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: Arch Manning, first shot out of the box today over
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: on campus at the press conference. Does he beat himself
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: up after losses?
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: Obviously a little frustrated or a lot frustrated after the
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: loss like that. But, um, the good thing about, um,
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: being early on in the middle of the season, you
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: get another opportunity this week.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: So moved on, um, flip the page and on to Florida.
• 34:54
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: Then he was asked about his thoughts on the fourth
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: and two thing where there was some consideration given before
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: they decided to try the field goal that Gianni Spedic
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: missed from 52 yards out.
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: There was a little conversation just about what we do
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: if we went for it, but, uh, Ultimately, that's not
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: up to me. If we were to go for it,
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: I'm going to do my best to get it, but
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: that's not up to me.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: Does he remember when he first came in as a
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: true freshman and wasn't playing that year during that redshirt year,
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: the memories of how they turned it around after losing
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: the game to Oklahoma in 2023?
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: Just being able to move forward and flip the page
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: and learn from it and get better, that's all you
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: can do. Re-plan in your head and thinking about what
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: could have done this that and the other um you
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: just got to learn from it and move forward and
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: and put your best foot forward all right so in
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: turning the page how do you do that it's tough
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: um it was a long sunday but uh ultimately um
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: you're going to get faced with adversity in life and
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: in football um it's about how you bounce back all
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: right then he was asked to evaluate the things that
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: went well and the things that did not could have
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: been a lot better in a lot of places um
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: with my eyes and getting people the ball um and
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: not forcing things but uh Ultimately, you've just got to
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: play better, and we're going to get a win this week.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: Okay. All right. He was asked, you know, on the
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: three strikes that he had for touchdowns, is he able
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: to hit the big plays and then others that he's
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: been searching for?
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think any time he can hit big plays
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: and explosive plays, it feels good. All right.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: And then that last interception, not the one that Peyton
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: Bowen picked off and took back for the pick six,
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: but the one toward the boundary there with 19 seconds left,
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: what was his view on what caused it? Yeah, they
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: brought a boundary sting.
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: I had to get it out. I got to put
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: it more outside for Cam or get an incompletion to
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: stop the clock and get another down because it's obviously
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: you can't do that in that situation.
• 36:46
  Speaker 10: All right.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: He was asked also about the fact that he hasn't
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: run as much as a lot of folks think that
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: he should be running. Does he have green light to
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: just take off and run?
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: I have the green light to make the play. And
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: I think I need to do a better job about
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: making plays and stuff's not there and being smart with
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: the football.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: There's a you got to do both. All right. A
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: lot of the undisciplined penalties happen on the defensive side
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: on Saturday, but some have on the offensive side as well.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: So why are these things still happening?
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: There's no Arch Manning comment on the penalties. My apologies there.
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: That's a typo I gave you.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: I got you. Okay, no worries. Do we have another
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: one here from Arch?
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: Here's the question. Here's what was supposed to be number
• 37:33
  Speaker 5: nine from Arch.
• 37:34
  Speaker 6: Did that second half against UTSA where he said he
• 37:36
  Speaker 6: fell in love with his legs a little bit, did
• 37:38
  Speaker 6: that impact the running?
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: No, I don't think so.
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: I just got to do a better job of picking
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: my spots and let my athleticism take over.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I thought I remembered him saying that. And
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: then one more from Arch. He was asked about the
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: rotation of the tight end and the running back, and
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: with them do that, does that change that comfort level
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: he has with the checkdowns when he's got to check
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: it down to a second or third target? No, not necessarily.
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: I thought I could have done a better job getting
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: some checkdowns in that game, keeping us on schedule, having
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: first and second down wins. But it doesn't really matter
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: who the guy is. Okay.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: All right. We'll hear some more from Arch coming up
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: next hour. But up next, more from SART from the
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: Monday Presser here on a Longhorns Monday on Sports Radio
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: AM 13 under the zone of the iHeartRadio app. Well,
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: Longhorns are moving on to getting ready for the Florida
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: Gators this Saturday. A couple of notes from Bill Connolly
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: at ESPN with their SP Plus Index, all the stuff
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: they feed in the computer. Because we read the computer
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: things a lot. We even read computer projections on the
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: high school games. By the way, the computer this week
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: is picking Wimberley. And again, these are not betting lines
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: or wagering lines. It's what a computer projection is of
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: how many points better one team is than another. The
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: computer this week thinks Wimberley is 93 points better than
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: Austin Achieve. So those kinds of things happen.
• 39:09
  Speaker 5: Does the computer know about running clock?
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, could happen.
• 39:13
  Speaker 5: Could happen.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: Could happen on that. I think computer has like Pflugerville
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: as a three-point favorite against Bastrop.
• 39:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: That should be a good game Friday night.
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: It should be a very good game.
• 39:24
  Speaker 6: Bastrop's a tough one for the computers to pin down
• 39:27
  Speaker 6: because the results are wildly inconsistent based on the injuries.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but they're getting healthier, right?
• 39:32
  Speaker 5: They're getting healthier.
• 39:33
  Speaker 6: They got Weston Nielsen back in the Crockett win on
• 39:36
  Speaker 6: Friday night. A 71-0 victory mirrors the route between the
• 39:41
  Speaker 6: two teams.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly. That's exactly right. So, yeah, we look
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: at computer projection things a lot. Um, here's one, uh, they,
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: what's listed as the, uh, SP plus index, uh, for, uh, ESPN.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: There are four teams with a better than 90% chance
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: of reaching the college football playoff. Can you name the
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: four teams?
• 40:09
  Speaker 5: Team number one.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: By the way, have you read this article?
• 40:11
  Speaker 5: No, I've not read this article.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: Can you name the four teams?
• 40:14
  Speaker 5: Team number one, Notre Dame.
• 40:15
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: Two, Ohio state.
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: No. Indiana.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: They're in there. Okay.
• 40:21
  Speaker 10: Miami.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: They're in there. Georgia. There they are.
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: Now, teams with between a 49% and 74% chance, or.
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: Eight of those. How many of those can you name?
• 40:34
  Speaker 5: Ohio State.
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 40:35
  Speaker 14: Texas.
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 40:36
  Speaker 5: Alabama.
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 40:40
  Speaker 5: They're still over 40% there.
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: BYU.
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 40:43
  Speaker 5: Texas Tech.
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 40:46
  Speaker 5: SEC teams.
• 40:47
  Speaker 10: Ole Miss.
• 40:47
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: No more SEC teams.
• 40:50
  Speaker 10: Oh, wow.
• 40:51
  Speaker 5: Okay, so we got to bounce over to the Big
• 40:53
  Speaker 5: Ten for this here?
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: That's one of them.
• 40:56
  Speaker 5: UCLA?
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: Now, no more Big Ten teams. Okay.
• 41:02
  Speaker 5: Who are we missing out of the Big 12? Houston
• 41:07
  Speaker 5: in there?
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: Nope.
• 41:08
  Speaker 5: Oklahoma State?
• 41:09
  Speaker 13: Nope.
• 41:11
  Speaker 5: ACC? There's got to be no more ACC.
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: There's another Big 12 team in there.
• 41:17
  Speaker 5: Besides Texas Tech and BYU. And not Houston.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 41:22
  Speaker 5: Who am I missing here out of the Big 12?
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: Utah.
• 41:25
  Speaker 5: That's the one.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 41:26
  Speaker 5: Because they haven't played anybody. And then they really don't
• 41:30
  Speaker 5: have a very hard schedule.
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: And then one more, a G6.
• 41:37
  Speaker 5: Oh, this is Boise State on this, isn't it?
• 41:39
  Speaker 10: Nope. Oh, they lost.
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: It's not Boise.
• 41:43
  Speaker 5: Who am I missing here? NDSU lost.
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: Not them. Go East. JMU. Yep. All right. So there's eight.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: All right. There are 14. I'm not going to ask
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: you to name these. But there are 14 teams with
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: between a 13% chance and a 26% chance. And there
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: are 15 teams between 2% and 10%. Now, he goes
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: on and he talks about the Big 12 race could
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: still get really weird. The Big 12 title odds, according
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: to the SP Plus Index, who has the best odds?
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: To win the Big 12 title?
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 42:18
  Speaker 5: I'm going to, SP Plus probably likes BYU.
• 42:20
  Speaker 4: Nope.
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: Texas Tech.
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: Nope.
• 42:23
  Speaker 5: Really?
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: Utah?
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: Utah. About 30%. Yeah.
• 42:28
  Speaker 5: I mean, schedule's a big part of that.
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: BYU, 27%. Texas Tech, 26%. So it's pretty close. And
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: then four secondary contenders. Can you name any of these
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: four secondary contenders? You've been saying one of them.
• 42:42
  Speaker 5: Well, I named Oklahoma State.
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: They're one. You've been saying the other one, too. You
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: mentioned them two or three times.
• 42:49
  Speaker 5: Texas Tech?
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: No, they're already in there. Those are the ones I mentioned. Utah, BYU,
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: and Tech. There's four secondary contenders.
• 42:55
  Speaker 5: Houston.
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: And then there's two more.
• 42:57
  Speaker 5: Arizona?
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: They're one.
• 43:00
  Speaker 5: And let's see. Who else is still.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: Hanging around there? I'd be surprised if you get this one.
• 43:04
  Speaker 5: That could be Iowa State.
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: Nope.
• 43:07
  Speaker 5: Who, yeah. UCF?
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: Baylor.
• 43:09
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 43:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 43:11
  Speaker 5: One loss, Baylor.
• 43:12
  Speaker 10: All right.
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: So here you go. You were talking. Here's some games.
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: That'll tell you some stuff. You were talking about Utah's schedule?
• 43:19
  Speaker 5: It's terrible.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: Well, they host Houston in a couple of weeks.
• 43:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah.
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: Houston will host Oklahoma State this week.
• 43:26
  Speaker 5: That's a big one.
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: So in the next two weeks, the Cougars' odds were
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: hit hard by that narrow loss of Tech, but they
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: could play themselves right back into the race, especially if
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: they keep looking as good as they did at Kansas
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: State over the weekend. Oklahoma State, meanwhile, has a mulligan
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: to give. They'll host Tech in November. Good eye on that. Arizona,
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: which spent its mulligan in a loss to BYU, will
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: visit Texas Tech in three weeks. Then they will host
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: Utah two weeks later.
• 43:55
  Speaker 5: Utah's hardest road game right there, by the way.
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: Baylor is a projected favorite in its next four games
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: before a ruthless closing stretch at BYU, Tech at home,
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: and at Houston that will either make the Bears a
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: contender or help them determine who is.
• 44:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and the Bears probably have to win their way
• 44:15
  Speaker 6: in via the Big 12, and I only say that
• 44:17
  Speaker 6: because of the loss to Auburn.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, absolutely. Okay, let's go back to Longhorn's head coach,
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: Steve Sarkisian. Next, talked about, he was asked, you know,
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: sometimes I say it's a two-bar question. It's really two questions.
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: Sark was asked about Arch Manning and about his processings,
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: his process, and then if his name wasn't Manning, would
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: the expectations be less?
• 44:44
  Speaker 12: I think that he's processing fine. Again, I think playing
• 44:48
  Speaker 12: really good offensive football is all 11, playing 11 is one.
• 44:52
  Speaker 12: I think it's scheme. I think it's the momentum of
• 44:55
  Speaker 12: the game. I think if you took the name off
• 44:59
  Speaker 12: the back of his jersey. And you said, here's, you know,
• 45:02
  Speaker 12: Joe Smith playing quarterback at the university of Texas. And
• 45:06
  Speaker 12: here's a guy who's beaten four top 10 ranked teams
• 45:09
  Speaker 12: in his last 13 starts. Um, we'd be praising the guy,
• 45:13
  Speaker 12: but the expectations are high for him, but he understands
• 45:15
  Speaker 12: that the expectations are high for all of us. So
• 45:18
  Speaker 12: we gotta, we gotta put our nose back to the
• 45:19
  Speaker 12: grind and get back to work.
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: Back to that undisciplined penalty thing that we started, uh,
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: about in the last segment about, the reoccurrence of these things?
• 45:29
  Speaker 5: Gosh, it's frustrating.
• 45:31
  Speaker 12: I will say that. Some of them are unfortunate timing.
• 45:36
  Speaker 12: Some of them are guys trying a little too hard
• 45:38
  Speaker 12: to make a play. When we're jumping off sides at
• 45:41
  Speaker 12: defensive end, we're trying to get to the quarterback. You know,
• 45:46
  Speaker 12: Biles is trying to, you know, he sees.
• 45:49
  Speaker 5: A double pass. He's trying to go make a play.
• 45:50
  Speaker 12: He's not trying to hit the guy in the head
• 45:53
  Speaker 12: and that can happen that Cade Phillips, I thought, made
• 45:55
  Speaker 12: a heck of a play in the back of the
• 45:57
  Speaker 12: end zone. Unfortunately, they said he had his hand on
• 45:59
  Speaker 12: his shoulder.
• 46:00
  Speaker 5: So some of those are unfortunate. Some of them I
• 46:03
  Speaker 5: think you could deem undisciplined.
• 46:05
  Speaker 12: I didn't think we had undisciplined penalties on Saturday, maybe
• 46:09
  Speaker 12: like we had the week before at Tennessee.
• 46:11
  Speaker 5: So did we get better?
• 46:12
  Speaker 10: Yes. Was it good enough?
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: No.
• 46:14
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: There's very important, impactful games every week for every team.
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: in the Southeastern Conference. That's just the way the league
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: is constructed, the way it works. For example, Ole Miss
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: is playing Missouri this week down in Oxford. It's a
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: huge game for both of those teams going into that.
• 46:37
  Speaker 4: And, of course, the Longhorns are trying to bounce back.
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: Florida's dropped two in a row. So now, because of
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: the depth of the SEC and teams knocking off one another,
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: we see what Kentucky has done to LSU, you.
• 46:51
  Speaker 6: Know, Bama's got to turn around and go to Rocky Top.
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right. So how much does all this depth in
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: the SEC increase his team's urgency to make sure they
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: handle their business to beat Florida on Saturday?
• 47:06
  Speaker 12: That's the key in the Southeastern Conference. This league requires
• 47:13
  Speaker 12: a lot of you. It requires the physicality that's needed.
• 47:17
  Speaker 12: It requires a relentless pursuit of effort to try to win.
• 47:21
  Speaker 12: It requires mental and physical toughness. It requires a line
• 47:25
  Speaker 12: of scrimmage on both sides of the ball to be
• 47:27
  Speaker 12: really good. It requires you to be at your best
• 47:30
  Speaker 12: when your best is needed in the fourth quarter of games.
• 47:33
  Speaker 12: The coaching's really good. The players are really good. The
• 47:36
  Speaker 12: environments you go into are tough. And so how do
• 47:40
  Speaker 12: you capture the focus of your team on a Monday,
• 47:44
  Speaker 12: carry that through throughout the week, and then come out
• 47:47
  Speaker 12: of the locker room on Saturday ready to go? That's
• 47:49
  Speaker 12: the challenge for all of us. And This week's no different.
• 47:51
  Speaker 12: This Florida team is very good. I mean, they beat
• 47:55
  Speaker 12: a top 10 ranked Ole Miss team by whatever it
• 47:57
  Speaker 12: was early in the year.
• 47:58
  Speaker 5: So we know what they're capable of.
• 48:00
  Speaker 12: Our job is to play to our standard and what
• 48:02
  Speaker 12: we're capable of so that regardless of how they play,
• 48:06
  Speaker 12: what they're getting from.
• 48:08
  Speaker 5: Us is the best of the Texas Longhorns. And that's
• 48:10
  Speaker 5: what we need to focus on.
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: Next, Sark was asked about John Summerall's Florida team and
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: what is different about this team than the one Billy
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: Napier was coaching.
• 48:17
  Speaker 12: Well, I think one of the things is, you know,
• 48:19
  Speaker 12: they're offensively, they're unique. They run the ball and they
• 48:24
  Speaker 12: believe in running the ball. It's a lot of unbalanced formations.
• 48:28
  Speaker 12: It's a lot of shifts. It's a lot of motions
• 48:30
  Speaker 12: and they're going to run the ball. Then they've got
• 48:32
  Speaker 12: all the plays off of those runs for the quarterback.
• 48:35
  Speaker 12: I think that's the first part. And then the second part,
• 48:39
  Speaker 12: I think it's the toughness on defense. You know, they're
• 48:43
  Speaker 12: growing schematically as they go. But I think those two
• 48:46
  Speaker 12: things are what stand out to me.
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: Okay. Then he was asked that question that Arch was
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: asked about, were there certain learning tools and elements that
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: came out of the last time they lost the Red
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: River rivalry, which was three years ago to Oklahoma?
• 49:05
  Speaker 12: Well, I think the thing we took out of 23
• 49:07
  Speaker 12: that we reminded the guys of and the staff of
• 49:11
  Speaker 12: this year was that 23 team took that loss down.
• 49:15
  Speaker 12: It was hard on them, just like this team has
• 49:17
  Speaker 12: taken this loss and it's hard on them. But what
• 49:20
  Speaker 12: did the 23 team do after that? They went and
• 49:22
  Speaker 12: won every game until the semifinals. And so it's not
• 49:26
  Speaker 12: the end of the season. And I, and I, and
• 49:27
  Speaker 12: I understand that we all want to win that game
• 49:30
  Speaker 12: and we don't want to win every game, but yet
• 49:32
  Speaker 12: there's more games to go. So how do we take
• 49:34
  Speaker 12: the adversity and how do we grow from it? I
• 49:36
  Speaker 12: said to the team, not all storms come to disrupt
• 49:40
  Speaker 12: our life. Some come to clear our path. And so
• 49:43
  Speaker 12: how do we use this adversity and what path did
• 49:45
  Speaker 12: it clear for us? How do we get better and
• 49:47
  Speaker 12: grow from it so that we can be a better
• 49:49
  Speaker 12: football team moving forward?
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: Okay. We'll hear some more from Sark coming up next hour.
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: We've got some other college football notes to get through
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: and to talk back. Again, if you want to reach us,
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: On the program, there's a couple of different ways you
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: can do it. You can text the program. You text
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: the word Texas, followed by your question or comment to 81530.
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: So you text the word Texas, followed by your question
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: or comment to 81530. Standard messaging and data rates may apply.
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: You can do that, or you can reach us via
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: the TalkBack feature at as well, the TalkBack microphone. In
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: order to do that, all you have to do is
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: download the iHeartRadio app. If you haven't already done so,
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: once you get it downloaded, then in your search bar,
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: just search AM 1300 The Zone. It'll pop straight up.
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: And then when it does, just then you'll see two buttons.
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: One is a white one, little triangular shaped button. That's
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: to listen to what's going over on the air. And
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: then there's a red one with a white microphone. That
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: is for the TalkBack. That's our TalkBack microphone. You press
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: that red button. That has the white microphone on it.
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: And you have 30 seconds to leave us a message.
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: We'll hear one of those coming up when we continue
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: on Sports Radio AM 13 Under the Zone and the
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app. Before he had an outstanding solo career, the late,
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: great Jerry Rafferty was in a band called Steeler's Wheel.
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: And it was spelled... Not like the Pittsburgh Steelers with
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: two E's, but like if you were stealing some S-T-E-A-L-E-R.
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: Possibly the Steelers will. This was their big hit. It
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: was stuck in the middle with you. All right. As
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: we mentioned, you can reach us via the talkback line.
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: All you have to do is make sure you have
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: the free and easy to download iHeartRadio app on your smartphone,
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: be it an Android or an iPhone, whatever it might be.
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: on your smartphone, you download that app, you search AM
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: 13 under the zone, it'll pop up, and then there's
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: a red button with a white microphone. You tap that
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: button that activates the TalkBack microphone, and you can leave
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: us a message like this gentleman did. Hey, Craig, this
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: is Richard.
• 51:59
  Speaker 8: Would it be fair to say that Arch and the team,
• 52:03
  Speaker 8: especially the offensive line, has regressed? I know we've got
• 52:07
  Speaker 8: a lot of new people on the offensive line. Arch
• 52:10
  Speaker 8: looks like he's regressed. from the end of last year. Now,
• 52:15
  Speaker 8: maybe that's because he hasn't played, you know, as many
• 52:18
  Speaker 8: games as he did last year. But I seem to
• 52:23
  Speaker 8: think he.
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: Oh, we lost him. Remember, it's a 30-second limit there, Richard.
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: Sorry.
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: In certain portions of games, it looks that way. Certainly
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter with the two interceptions, it looks
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: that way. On the other hand, you look at the
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: rollout and the throw he made of the first touchdown
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: to Cam Coleman, the later throw to Cam Coleman, the
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: touchdown to Ryan Wingo, the one to Jermaine Bishop. He
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: looks really good. If you looked at the fourth quarter
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: of the Ohio State game where he's leading three fourth-quarter
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: touchdown drives, totaling 40 plays and 230 yards and taking
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: nearly 17 minutes of clock time, he doesn't look like
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: he's regressed there. But there are moments in games, certainly,
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: depending on the opponent, depending on the defense. And it's also,
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: I think, I'm going to be curious to see how
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: he does against a defense that isn't quite as stout
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: as what they've seen, especially Ohio State with Jim Knowles' defense.
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: When Jim Knowles was coaching at Oklahoma State and Ohio State,
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: before moving on from there to Tennessee, he was a
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: guy who could really give them fits defensively. And he
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: did so again. And Matt Patricia, of course, is the
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: defensive coordinator of Ohio State now. You know, those guys
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: and what Venables does with his defense is commendable. Still
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: in all, you hope your quarterback can execute against them.
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: They had 382 yards of offense. But, and this is
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: fair to point out, the difference last week that we
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: were talking about between Arch Manning and John Mateer. We
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: said the numbers were very similar. Mateer actually had a
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: couple of little bit better numbers in terms of the
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: total passing yardage and completion percent, like 66 to 64%.
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: But the difference was that phrase we used, and many
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: of you is not original, the catastrophic turnover, the fumbles
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: that were returned for a touchdown, the interceptions, those things,
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: that was the difference. Well, To Mateer's credit, he didn't
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: make those turnovers and arched in on those two interceptions.
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: The pick six return for a score by Peyton Bowen,
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: who was named one of the co-defensive players of the
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: week in the SEC. And then the interception along the
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: boundary late in the game that set up Oklahoma's game-winning
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: field goal. So it's important to keep that in mind.
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: That the difference in these games, I remember when I
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: was hosting Jimmy Johnson's show when he was coach of
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys, don't turn over the ball. If you're not
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: turning over the ball, chances are you're going to find
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: a way to win even if your offense isn't doing
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: that much. So there's that. One thing that came out
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: when we were talking about, you know, the updated rankings,
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: Texas number seven in the AP, number six in the
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: coaches' polls. The updated college football playoff projections are out.
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: The two dudes who do it for ESPN, Mark Schlebaugh
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: and Kyle Bonagura had theirs. And Bonagura has had Texas
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: not in the top four all along, even when they
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: were number one in the country. And he still has
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: them as number five playing the G6 representative, which he
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: believes to be Boise, Boise State. Now, remember, Boise has
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: a loss to Oregon, which is not aging that well,
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: by the way. You look at Oregon's recent losses.
• 55:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah, still a one-score game on the road, but you're
• 55:56
  Speaker 6: right about that.
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: And James Madison is continuing to raise eyebrows. What a job,
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: by the way, that's going on in Harrisonburg, Virginia. I
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: want you to think about something for a minute. In
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: the last five years, this being the fifth season, You
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: go back a couple of years ago, and you had
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: Kurt Cignetti coaching James Madison. He did a great job
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: with him. That got him the Indiana job, and with
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: two years, he built a national champion. His replacement, Bob Chesney,
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: did a great job with JMU, got him to the
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: playoff last year. So he leaves for UCLA, and UCLA
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: is undefeated right now despite losing Nico Iamaliava to injury.
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: They don't know how long he's going to be out.
• 56:42
  Speaker 6: Indefinitely, they say today. So that's why I said they
• 56:45
  Speaker 6: don't know. Yeah, that's a bad update. If you're a
• 56:49
  Speaker 6: UCLA fan, you were hoping to hear a timetable today.
• 56:51
  Speaker 6: Because their schedule sets up. really pretty well the rest
• 56:56
  Speaker 6: of the regular season the toughest game one could argue
• 56:59
  Speaker 6: on the remaining on the regular season schedule is the
• 57:02
  Speaker 6: last one the rivalry game with USC otherwise yeah Wisconsin's
• 57:06
  Speaker 6: playing well uh but it's a game they could probably
• 57:08
  Speaker 6: win we thought Minnesota was getting pretty good after beating
• 57:11
  Speaker 6: Michigan they got humbled by Purdue.
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: Over the weekend.
• 57:14
  Speaker 5: There's no we there. I wasn't buying Minnesota.
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: Well, a lot of people thought they were getting pretty good.
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: But not now.
• 57:24
  Speaker 4: And then after that, they've got winnable games. I mean, one,
• 57:31
  Speaker 4: they have to play Michigan.
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: But they're all winnable games to where UCLA doesn't play
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: Ohio State. They don't play Indiana. They've already beaten Oregon.
• 57:40
  Speaker 3: So.
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: You know, you would say they have a real shot
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: to do well. And perhaps, you know, if they're 11-0
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: going into the matchup with USC, they're probably going to
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: be in the playoff, whether they make the Big Ten
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: championship game or not. If they run the table all
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: the way through, they're going to be in the Big
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: Ten championship game. If they're 12-0 going into the Big
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: Ten championship game, they're going to be in the playoff
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: regardless of the outcome of that. So their star is
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: on the rise a little bit there. They're not in
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: there yet, according to those doing the playoff projecting. Bonagura
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: has Texas as the 5C playing the 12C Boise. But
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: my point was going to be that James Madison, Signetti
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: did a great job. He left. Chesney did a great job.
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: He left. Who's coaching him now? Billy Napier. The former
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: Florida coach got fired. He's got them unbeaten. They're playing well.
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: Who knows if they can get to the playoff or not,
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: but things are thriving in Harrisonburg, Virginia right now for JMU, which,
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: by the way, has announced it's leaving the Sun Belt.
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: They're going to join the American, which makes sense, really,
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: for them. But these two guys, Bonagura and Schleybaugh for ESPN,
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: have Boise State as the G6 representative. Bonagura has them
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: playing Texas. That would mean the Longhorns would host a
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: playoff game either the 18th or 19th of December, like
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: they did against Clemson a couple of years ago. They
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: would host Boise. Now, Slaybaugh has Texas as a 7th seed,
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: so he has them playing a home playoff game, but
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: as a 7th seed. Now, They've got Boise as the,
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: he has Boise as the 12th playing and Indiana the 5th. Clearly,
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: he's expecting Indiana to lose to Ohio State this week
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: in Bloomington. So, something to keep an eye on. Bonagura
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: has tacked the 11th seed at the 6th seed, Ohio State.
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: Schlebaugh has Utah the 11th seed at the 6th seed, Alabama.
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: Then comes UCLA. Bonagura has the 10-seed Bruins at the
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: 7-seed Crimson Tide, has them in Tuscaloosa. Schleyball has UCLA
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: coming to Austin as the 10-seed to play a 7-seed Texas.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: And in the 8-9 matchups, Bonagura has 9-seed BYU at
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: 8-seed Utah. Schleyball has 9-seed Ole Miss at 8-seed BYU.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: In other words, Kyle Bonagura has three Big 12 teams in.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: That would be wild. He's got Tech, And, no, that's
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: not true. He's got two. He's got Tech and BYU. Schleyball.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 5: Bonagura's got Utah in there, too.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but Bonagura doesn't have Tech. He's got BYU. They
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: both have two. It's different off of that. Okay, now,
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: to the quarterfinals. Bonagura has Texas advancing over Boise to
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: play the four-seed Indiana. Schleyball has Alabama the six-seed advancing
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: to play the three-seed Notre Dame. Then you get to
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: the other quarterfinals. Bonagura has the six-seed Ohio State playing
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: the three-seed Miami. Schleybaugh has the five-seed Indiana against the
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: four-seed Ohio State. The seven-seed Alabama to play the two-seed
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame, according to Bonagura, and completing the quarterfinals. Schleybaugh
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: has the 10-seed UCLA beating Texas in Austin and then
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: going on in the quarterfinals to play the two-seed Miami.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: And then finally, the last quarterfinals, The eight-seed Utah against
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: the one-seed Georgia, according to Kyle Bonaguer. Schleybaugh has the
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: eight-seed Ole Miss against the top-seed Georgia. Semifinals. Bonaguer has
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: the three-seed Miami against the two-seed Notre Dame. Schleybaugh has
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: the three-seed Notre Dame against the two-seed Miami. There's just
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: a difference of seeding. That would be in the Orange Bowl.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: In the Sugar Bowl, four-seed Indiana against top-seed Georgia, according
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: to Bonaguer. Schleybaugh has four-seed Ohio State against top-seed Georgia.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: And then the National Championships. Bonagura has the two-seed Notre
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: Dame against the one-seed Georgia. This is in Las Vegas.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: And Schleybaugh has the two-seed Miami against the top-seed Georgia.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: So there you are. Those are the playoff projections. They
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: both have Texas in. Bonagura has a five-seed. Schleybaugh has
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: a seven-seed. Bonagura has Texas advancing to the quarterfinal. Schleybaugh
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: does not. All right. We'll be back to wrap up
• 1:02:03

• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: note here. Both the Texas men's and women's golf teams
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: are in St. Andrews, Scotland, playing in the St. Andrews
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: Lynx Collegiate. And both teams are leading after the first round.

• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: seven holes on the way to a five under 67
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: and playing the back nine in four under par. So
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: she did really well.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 4: The format of the tournament, six players to count five
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 4: scores during the 36 holes of stroke play. And so
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 4: the Texas women are in first place on that. And
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 4: the Longhorn men's golf team also finished second is leading
• 1:09:44

  Speaker 5: Man, how about Daniel Bennett today, Greg?
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, they've been really, really good, both men's and
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: women's golf team, and both leading at the round one.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Eagle on 12 to get in the clubhouse six under.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, both of them playing at St. Andrews, widely
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: hailed as being the birthplace of golf. So good for
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: both Texas men's and women's golf team as well. All right,
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: let's hear some more from the NFL side of things
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: and hear from D'Amico Ryans and hear as well from
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: the quarterback of the Houston Texans, C.J. Stroup. First of all,
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: from D'Amico Ryans coming off their first win of the year,
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: beating Tennessee yesterday. And He was asked how this win
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: might be able to help the team moving forward.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 11: We're thankful right now to get our first win. It's
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 11: been a long time coming. Our guys, they poured in
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 11: the work, and they came out, and the work showed
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 11: itself again on game day.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 10: So we just have to keep that formula.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 11: Everybody just stay humble, keep working the way we're working,
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 11: and we'll be just fine.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 5: Okay. All right.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: That's one thing. he was talking about CJ Stroud and
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: the improvement of the offense.
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 11: Her offense has improved a lot, starting with Kaylee and
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 11: what he's done with the offense, being able to mix
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 11: it up a lot.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 10: He's done a really good job of that. But also
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 10: go to CJ.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 11: I mean, the way he's just more comfortable in what
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 11: we're doing year two now, you see his comfort level,
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 11: you see his confidence, you see his command, and it shows.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 11: He's not afraid of any situation right he's making doing
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 11: a great job of communicating at the line of scrimmage
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 11: and we need to get to the right play he
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 11: can get us into the right play and everybody around
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 11: them is playing better.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: Well as well all right uh next uh he discussed
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: the progress of the offensive line yeah.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 11: O-line did a really nice job i know the stats
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 11: probably don't show up but i thought our run game
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 11: was really well today uh we got a couple big
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 11: runs called back but the o-line battle they did a
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 11: good job i gave we got i think only one
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 11: sack that we gave up there but Overall, those guys
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 11: have been battling.
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 10: They've done an outstanding job.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: Okay, and then there was this weird moment because the
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: rumor mill had started to fly around that the Texans
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: were looking to make a deal that would involve Marvin
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: Harrison Jr., the Arizona Cardinal. So he was asked about it,
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: and he responded.
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 10: You guys want to know, huh?
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 13: Yes.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 10: All right, we trade for Marvin Harrison.
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: See ya. That was a mic drop moment. Yeah, we
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: traded for Marvin Harrison. So they did.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 11: I'm out.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 5: Plane's leaving.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 5: C.J.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: Stroud was asked about a lot of things, including being
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: in a good rhythm.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 9: I think I'm in a good rhythm right now. Distributing
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 9: the ball to who I need to get it to.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 9: But I think our guys are running great routes. We're
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 9: handling the hots good. I think just me not only
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 9: being the one to recognize it, but our receivers. So
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 9: they were doing a great job with that. I thought
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 9: they did a good job of protection today. And, you know,
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 9: our tight end is doing the same thing, protection and,
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 9: you know, catching. And I thought our running backs did
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 9: the same thing. So I think that's something that we've
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 9: got to keep going because, you know, we might see
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 9: some pressure and some different looks. So I thought we
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 9: handled it decent today.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: Okay, now with the cat out of the bag on
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: the Marvin Harrison Jr. deal, Stroud was asked about his
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: former Ohio State teammate, what he thought he might bring
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: to the team.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 9: I think he brings a dynamic, you know, playmaker, somebody
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 9: who runs great routes, can catch really any ball. And
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 9: I'm just super excited to get with him. You know,
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 9: I loved him in college. You know, he's probably the
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 9: hardest worker I've ever been around in my life. And
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 9: then just, you know, who he is off the field.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 9: He's a great dude, you know, quiet guy, but definitely,
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 9: you know, you feel his presence. So I'm excited to
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 9: get him in here and get him learning and, you know,
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 9: get him around the other guys, you know. And I think,
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 9: you know, it's perfect for him. You know, I think
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 9: fresh starts are good. So I'm excited to get him
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 9: with us.
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: So since he's a former teammate and since he is
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: the quarterback, C.J. was asked, was he consulted by the
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: team on this trade?
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I had some conversations with some different people, just,
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 9: you know, telling them who he is as a person,
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 9: as a player, what I liked about him when I played.
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 9: So I thought our front office did a great job,
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 9: you know, allowing me to be a part of it.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, all right. And then was asked about offensive
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: play calling and how, oh, no, he was asked about
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: the expectations that he and everybody should have for Marvin
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: Harrison Jr.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 2: Just being himself.
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 9: I'm not an expectation type of person when it comes
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 9: to others or even myself. I think I'm one thing
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 9: at a time. The next thing I'm focused on is
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 9: getting these things corrected from this game.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 2: So same thing with him.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 9: Whatever's next for him that's flying over here to Houston
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 9: and getting in the playbook, let's do that good. If
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 9: he's himself, he's going to be one of the best receivers.
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 9: I think he got drafted where he got drafted for
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 9: a reason.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: And I think he'll be able to show that.
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right. And then he was asked about the
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: offensive play calling in the win.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought he did a good job.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 9: You know, I think, you know, there's other things where
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 9: we need, we can talk about, you know, some different situations,
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 9: but for the most part, I thought he did a
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 9: great job. You know, I think he's been calling, calling
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 9: it great, being more aggressive. Um, and I think, you know, he's,
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 9: you know, doing a great job communicating with me very highly.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 9: So I love kills, man. He's a great dude, you know,
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 9: wants to, wants the best for everybody. you know, has
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 9: been showing in these last couple weeks.
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's talking about Nick Caley, and he said, did Caley,
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: did he think he was able to block out the
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: noise over the difficulties the offense was having over the
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: past few weeks?
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, you know, that's life.
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 9: You know, you're going to have noise and have people,
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 9: you know, who think they can, everybody thinks they know
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 9: how to do our job. So it's your job to
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 9: block that out, and you're the one in the position,
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 9: so you got to be able to do your job
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 9: at a high level every.
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 2: Single day, and I think he's done that. I think
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 2: he's getting better.
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 9: I think he's learned the type of guys that this
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 9: system has, and You know, same thing with him.
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: He's got to adjust. You know, we've got Higg getting hurt.
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 9: You know, a couple of our offensive linemen, you know,
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 9: a couple of running backs like Demo, you know, having
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 9: a little thing today. So, you know, you've got to
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 9: be able to adjust. I think he's doing a better
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 9: job at that and really trusting me. I told him, like, man,
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 9: I got your back no matter what. Even if I
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 9: make a mistake, like, trust me with the ball again.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 2: Let's keep going. So I think he's been able to
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: do that.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 9: But, you know, I think just as a whole, we've been,
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 9: you know, as players, we've been trying to rally around him,
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 9: letting him know that whatever you call, bro, like, man,
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 9: no matter what they do, we're going to take care
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 9: of the ball. Even if we don't like, we got
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 9: to be aggressive and push the envelope and, you know,
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 9: scare money, don't make money. So I think, you know,
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 9: he's doing a better job at that.
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: Uh, there you go from the side of the Houston
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: Texans coming off their first win of the season, updating
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: national championship series as they did last night, the Dodgers
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: get on the board first, last night, they got to
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: run in the second inning. Uh, today it was leading
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: it right off Mookie Betts drew a walk he moved
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: to second on a Freddie Freeman ground out he moved
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: to third on a wild pitch and then Teoscar Hernandez
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: with a sacrifice fly to score Betts and so the
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: Dodgers have a one nothing lead with Milwaukee batting in
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: the bottom of the first.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 6: And Craig a big impact early in the game for
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 6: ABS there was an overturn on a on a 2-2
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 6: pitch Mookie, instead of being punched out, gets back in
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 6: the box, 3-2. To the umpire's credit, 3-2 goes to
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 6: the same spot. He gets the call right. So that's
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 6: the impact of ABS. It's not just the rewarding for
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 6: the knowledge of the strike zone. It's helping the umpire
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 6: adjust early in a game, too.
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 10: All right.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: Coming up, we're going to hear more from Longhorn's head coach,
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: Steve Sarkeesian, and from Orange Manning when we continue on
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: 13 Under the Zone. In the air, right center field.
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 13: Mitchell's over, still coming, makes the catch, bets, tags, and
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 13: heads home.
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 5: Mitchell's throw, not in time.
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 13: The Dodgers, one pitch later, take advantage of the wild
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 13: pitch and get the game's first run.
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 14: Back to the Craig Way Show. Connect with Craig through
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 14: the text line by texting ZONE to 81530, followed by
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 14: your message. Standard message and data rates may apply.
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: Well, that 1-0 Dodger lead as called by Joe Davis
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: on Fox didn't last very long. The Brewers that came back,
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitching and got ahead with one out, got
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: ahead of both Bryce Terang and William Contreras with two strikes.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: Terang then doubled down the left field line, and Contreras
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: with an excellent piece of hitting just stuck out the
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: bat and poked one in the left field for a
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: game-tying single. So the game is tied 1-1 with Milwaukee
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: batting in the bottom half of the first inning. All right,
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: let me go back to... The Longhorns will go back
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: to Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkeesian and asked about the
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: to evaluate the offensive chemistry. And is there a way
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: to get the two freshmen, Derek Cooper and Jermaine Bishop,
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: more touches?
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 12: Anytime you have the amount of three and outs that
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 12: we have right now, that is kind of like, you know,
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 12: when you look at your grandma's Christmas tree and there's
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 12: that blinking light.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 5: That's the blinking light. Like, why is that happening?
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 6: Why?
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 5: We've got scheme. We've got players. We've got attitude.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 12: We've got all the stuff that should make up to
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 12: where we shouldn't have the three and out. You're going
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 12: to have some, but not at the rate that we're
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 12: having them. So how do we find that rhythm?
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 10: How do we.
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 12: Execute a little better on third and medium, third and
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 12: short to extend drive so we're not having three and outs?
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 5: I get third and 10.
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 2: Those are hard.
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 5: So that's that part.
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 12: I don't know if it's chemistry, but I do think
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 12: there's some rhythm that we have to find from an
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 12: offensive perspective. For those two young players, the challenge is
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 12: who do you take out, right? Obviously, Jermaine is a
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 12: guy that we've tried to get involved, get featured, and
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 12: obviously showed up Saturday.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 5: Derek, same thing.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 12: So it's just finding the right balance, the right rhythm,
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 12: where we're not sacrificing the overall rhythm of the offense
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 12: just for one player, but yet put that player in
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 12: the game and try to get him involved because those
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 12: guys are both explosive players for us.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Sark then asked about what he feels his offense
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: does well in terms of execution.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 12: Well, I think at the end of the day, we
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 12: should be an explosive offensive football team. And I think
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 12: we found more explosive plays Saturday against a.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 5: Really good defense.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 12: You know, I think we had all the exact numbers,
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 12: but I think we had 382 yards Saturday. That was
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 12: 80 yards more than Georgia had against them. which was
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 12: more than yards and 80, but they only give up
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 12: 300 yards one other time before Georgia.
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 5: So we did some good things.
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 12: And what the crazy part is we're all sitting here
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 12: thinking we should add 500 yards against any elite defensive
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 12: football team. So the standard is very high here. I
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 12: think we should be good at it all. I think
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 12: we should be able to run it. We should be
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 12: able to throw it. We should be able to convert
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 12: third downs, be good in the red area, great explosive plays,
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 12: but that's where you hold everybody to, to try to
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 12: get that done.
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: Okay, next up was asked, is he seeing a pre-snap
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: adjustment from Arch when pressure comes on and there's switching
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: around and then the blitz is coming in?
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 5: Well, I think every play is different.
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 12: There's runs, there's passes, there's play-action pass, and so that's
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 12: a very vague question.
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 5: I think he does what he's asked of to do
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 5: on particular plays.
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: All right, how difficult is it? as Sarg says, to
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: turn the page and move forward.
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 12: You know, in a weird way, I'm a little sick
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 12: that way. I like a little adversity. I think it's
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 12: good for us. You know, I need a little, I
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 12: don't mind having this adversity. You know, I don't mind
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 12: having a little thorn in our side. I think it's
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 12: good for us. So we'll respond.
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 10: Yeah, all right.
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: And he's not saying it was a good thing that
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: they lost. He just knows that he wants to see
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: his team be able to respond to the adversity. He
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: went on to say that later. All right, what needs
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: to change for his special teams? Well, I think just
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: comes back to execution. It's like, you know, you got
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 1: to protect the right way. We got to cover the
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: right way.
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 12: We got to block returns the right way. And then
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 12: you find your moments to create those explosive plays. And
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 12: we've been a very explosive special teams unit. We have
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 12: a lot of faith in our specialists, our punter, our kicker,
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 12: those guys, you know, playing to their capabilities and then
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 12: trying to put our best players on those teams in
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 12: position to make their plays is of the utmost importance.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 10: All right.
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: Sark next asks, how does he get a feel for
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 1: the running game as a play caller?
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 12: Yeah, you know, when I went back and watched the tape,
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 12: I actually thought we ran it pretty good Saturday. And
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 12: I probably should have said that better in the postgame
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 12: press conference. We had to kind of get away from
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 12: it in the fourth quarter because we had to go score,
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 12: and you felt like we needed to throw it to
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 12: get back down there. They're good, and they create negative plays.
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 12: And so what you're hoping for is that you can
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 12: find consistency there and then ultimately pop one. And I
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 12: think historically when we've ran the ball well against OU,
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 12: we've popped a couple runs that have created a 40, 50,
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 12: a 60-yarder, and then all of a sudden your number
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 12: goes from 125 yards rushing to 175 or 200. We
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 12: just didn't pop that big one Saturday. But I actually
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 12: thought from an efficiency standpoint, we were pretty good against
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 12: a defense that thrives on negative plays in the run game.
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: All right, so what is he looking for? in terms
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: of the brand, the style of football?
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 12: Well, I think it's fast, it's physical, it's tough, and
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 12: it's smart. And we have got to play that way.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 12: We got to play fast. We've got really good athletes.
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 12: You get to play fast when you know what to
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 12: do and how to do it. We got to play physical.
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 12: This league requires physicality. We got to be mentally and
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 12: physically tough in this league. And then we got to
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 12: be smart. We got to be able to play situational
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 12: football at the highest level. And so if we can
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 12: do that, we'll always give ourselves a chance.
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 13: All right.
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 1: Next, he was asked about the distribution of what Arch
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: is doing through the air versus when he's forcing the
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: ball in, which obviously led to the two interceptions.
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 5: I think it's probably both.
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 12: I think there's times when you're like, hey, if we
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 12: can get this guy isolated and give him an opportunity
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 12: to make a play, we'll do that.
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 5: I think there's other times.
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 12: I mean, I don't get to call the defense and
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 12: the offense, so I can't say, hey, can you give
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 12: me cover three here or man-to-man? So you have to
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 12: react to what you get. We may be calling something
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 12: for Cam Coleman, and they're clouding him with safety in
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 12: a corner.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 5: So you have to play the play.
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 12: And so that's that fine line in there of like
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 12: you're trying to force feed somebody, but yet you're also
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 12: trying to let the system work itself out, let the
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 12: quarterback put the ball where it's supposed to go.
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: All right, speaking of fine lines, He was asked to
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: describe the dichotomy, because what we're seeing is several three
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 1: and outs, and then there'll be a really masterful drive.
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: They went 75 yards and seven plays after Oklahoma had
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: taken its first lead of the ball game on the
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: pick six. They went 75 yards and seven plays, and
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: then he hits Jermaine Bishop for the game-tying touchdown pass.
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: So a the yin to the yang on that deal?
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 12: That's the question, right? Like we all want that rhythm.
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 12: We all want those drives that feel so good, so smooth.
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 12: And it's, you know, it's always good when it's first down,
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 12: second down, first down, second down, and there's not even
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 12: third downs involved.
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 5: And so how do we do that?
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 12: You know, and how do we be really efficient on
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 12: first and second down to either put ourselves in manageable
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 12: third downs or you don't even have third down. And
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 12: so That's the challenge. It's hard to say this one
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 12: thing is why. I think there's a variety of things.
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 12: But in the end, we know what we're capable of
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 12: because we're seeing these snapshots of what it looks like,
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 12: and that's what we're striving for all the time.
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: Where Cam Coleman has been concerned, it has been deep
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: shots or deep crossers. So he's asked about the potential
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 1: involvement for Coleman in a shorter passing game as well
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: as the deep shots.
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 12: Well, we're always trying to find that. And again, like
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 12: we're talking about Cam Coleman, we're talking about Jermaine Bishop,
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 12: we're talking about Derek Cooper. We neglected Ryan Wingo, Emmitt Mosley,
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 12: Raleigh Brown. People need to touch the ball. And the
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 12: more that our guys do consistently and the more hesitation
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 12: we can put on the defense of where the ball
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 12: is going to go and how it's going to get
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 12: to an individual, the better it is for us. But
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 12: we got to be efficient and we got to make
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 12: that happen and come to life. But yes, Cam is
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 12: a fantastic player.
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 5: I was really happy for him.
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 12: I thought he played a good game Saturday, but I honestly,
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 12: I think there's more out there for him. I think
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 12: he's just starting to hit his stride. And if you
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 12: think about the transfers that have come into our program
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 12: at the wide receiver spot, this is about the time
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 12: they start to really hit their stride.
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 5: So I'm excited for him.
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 10: All right.
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: So there are the things from Longhorn's head coach, Steve Sarkeesian.
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 1: Our man CPAL said, you know, Craig, we fans are just,
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 1: So mad. How? And to who we lost to. See,
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 1: I think that obviously exacerbates things. When it is a
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 1: rivalry game and you lose that, that certainly comes into it.
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 1: He says, same problems, though, which is so frustrating. Texas
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 1: did everything OU had to have to win. Yeah, the
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 1: block punt, the pick six. They had the one offensive
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: touchdown in the game. Special teams, interceptions, penalties, late in
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 1: the second half.
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 2: Arrgh.
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: No doubt. You know, in addition to the block punt
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: to surrender a touchdown, and also the pick six, and then,
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: of course, the other interception sets up the game-winning field goal. So,
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: in addition to that, it's a situation of not allowing
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: a team to gain offensive confidence when they struggle to
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: do it offensively, Because of penalties. You think about it.
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 1: On the Oklahoma touchdown drive to tie the score, what
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 1: you had was a ball. You had a ball that
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: looked like it was going to be intercepted. And they
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: waved off the interception because of roughing the passer. Golf
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: was on an option pass. And I've had a lot
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: of people ask me about that. Say, well, once the
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: quarterback gives it up, is roughing the passer even still
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: in play? It is. If the quarterback is making a
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: backward pass, it's not called a lateral. You talk to
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: football officials, they'll tell you there's no such thing as
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 1: a lateral. It doesn't exist. And I kind of, you know,
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: will good naturedly disagree and say, oh, it's possible to
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 1: go straight down the line at a 45-degree angle. It's
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 1: possible to go straight. But chances are they're probably right.
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 1: It's probably not going to be exactly right. lateral movement.
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 1: It's going to be a backward pass, which makes it
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 1: a live ball. In any event, if you're throwing a
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 1: backward pass back there, the person who gets it then
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 1: sets up and is throwing a forward pass across the
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, doesn't matter if it's a wide receiver,
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 1: running back, whoever it is, whoever the first person is
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 1: and should be the only person to do it, to
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 1: throw a forward pass. If you hit him in the
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 1: wrong place or late, you'd be roughing the passer. So
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 1: that was a correct call. It was just unfortunate there
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 1: with Raheem Biles elevating there to try to block the pass,
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 1: and he hits him across the helmet. So it's roughing
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 1: the passer. He had two offside calls on that. And
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 1: then he had the pass interference call. And it's bang,
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: bang that they called on Kate Phillips. Maybe the hand
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 1: is on the shoulder back around there. Put it this way.
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 1: It was a lot more oblique than the pass interference
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: call that should have and was not called in the
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: Georgia-Alabama game. But no matter. Those four penalties kept the
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 1: drive going for Oklahoma where they ended up scoring the touchdown.
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 1: Lloyd Avant getting across for the score. So that made sense.
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: a huge difference. So there's the penalties on that drive,
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 1: the turnovers on that drive, and then, you know, a
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: missed field goal. All of that happening in the fourth quarter,
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 1: and that makes a difference in the ballgame. All right,
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 1: coming up, we're going to need for March Manning. Brewers
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: and Dodgers still tied 1-1. Los Angeles batting with two
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 1: outs in the top half of the second inning in
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 1: that one in Milwaukee. We'll continue here on Sports Radio AM,
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 1: 1300 The Zone on the iHeartRadio app. Back here on
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 1: a Monday afternoon.
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 4: Longhorns Monday on 1300 The Zone, updating you on Game
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 4: 2 National League Championship Series. They're going to the bottom
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 4: of the second inning in a 1-1 tie. Dodgers scored
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 4: a run in the top of the first. Brewers matched
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 4: it with a run in the bottom of the first.
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 10: L.A.
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 1: Had a runner draw a two-out walk, Andy Paez, but
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 1: Logan Henderson worked his way out of it with a
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: fly ball. out off the bat of Kyle Tucker. So
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 1: now they go to the bottom of the second inning.
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 1: One thing that is similar to what we're seeing last night, well,
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 1: certainly from the Brewers' perspective, less from the Dodgers until
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 1: it got later, is heavier pitch counts, rising pitch counts.
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 1: Logan Henderson near 40 pitches through two innings. And Yoshinobu
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: Yamamoto had an extended first inning. We'll see how it
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 1: goes in the second. But again, going to the bottom
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 1: of the second in a 1-1 tie. And the Brewers,
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 1: of course, lead that series one game to none tonight,
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 1: game one in St. Pete, Tampa Bay and Cleveland. One
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 1: thing is for certain. If the Brewers win the national
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: league championship series and they have home field advantage and
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: the Rays win the American league championship and they have
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 1: home field advantage, we are assured of having a first
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 1: time world champion. And, um, think it hasn't happened since
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 1: your ball club won, since the Washington Nationals won in 20.
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to think. No, Rangers.
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 4: Rangers.
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 1: Sometimes it just slips out of my mind that Texas
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 1: Rangers championship three years ago, the last team to win
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 1: a World Series other than the Dodgers was the Rangers.
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: And it was their first world title. And there's a
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: dwindling number, by the way, of teams that have never
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 1: won a World Series. But that's two of them right there,
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 1: the Brewers and the Rays. And they're both one seeds
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 1: going in. So we'll see how it goes. The Brewers,
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 1: of course, took game one last night from Los Angeles.
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 1: It's 1-1 in the bottom of the second right now
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 1: in game two in Milwaukee. And then the series will
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 1: shift to L.A. for game three, game four, if there's
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 1: necessary game five. And then if they're still playing, it
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 1: will go back to Milwaukee for an if necessary game
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 1: six and if necessary a game seven. for that. Same
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 1: story with Tampa Bay and Cleveland, but they're playing game
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 1: one tonight at Tropicana Field. First two games will be
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 1: at the Trop, and then it will shift to Cleveland
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 1: for game three, four, five, if necessary, and then back
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 1: to St. Pete for game six and seven, if that
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 1: happens there. And by the way, Cleveland, among non-expansion teams,
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 1: has had the longest drought between winning a world title.
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 1: Do you know the last time Cleveland, then known as
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 1: the Indians, won a World Series?
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 5: Oh, it was sometime in the 50s, wasn't it?
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 1: They got to the World Series in 54, won 111
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 1: games in 154. They won 111 in 43. They won
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 1: the American League pennant by eight games over the Yankees,
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 1: ending the Yankees' five-year run, five straight world titles, which
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 1: is still a record. Then they got swept by the
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: Giants in the World Series. Willie Mays with the amazing
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 1: catch and dead center of the polar grounds in game one.
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 1: The New York Giants baseball won that series.
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 2: They swept.
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 1: The last time Cleveland won a World Series was 1948
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 1: when they beat the then Boston Braves in six games.
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 1: Five years later, Boston moved to Milwaukee, came the Milwaukee Braves,
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 1: who won their first world title in 57, did not
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 1: win another one. Although the next year, they got back
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 1: to the World Series and led the Yankees three games
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 1: to one, led them off the hook. Yankees won that series.
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 1: And then the next year, tied the Dodgers for the
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 1: National League pennant. LA won a playoff two straight and
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 1: went on to beat the White Sox in the World Series.
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 1: And it was the Dodgers' first world title in Los Angeles.
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 1: But in terms of teams that have never won one.
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 1: You have to look at the expansion route. Milwaukee's ancestral
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 1: heritage is in Seattle. As the Seattle Pilots, who were
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 1: an expansion team in 1969, they played one season. There's
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 1: a great book by the former pitcher Jim Bouton, Ball Four.
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 5: I've read that.
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you remember that. What a wacky season that
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 1: was for Seattle. They finished in last place. Really, well
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 1: into July, they were like, you know, near the 500 mark,
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 1: and then they fell apart. And then the ownership fell apart.
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 1: And two weeks before the start of the season, the
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 1: team was going bankrupt, and a car dealer in Milwaukee
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 1: by the name of Bud Selig bought them, moved them
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 1: to Milwaukee. They pretty much kept the same colors that
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 1: they had in Seattle, but they changed the name to
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 1: the Milwaukee Brewers, and they took off from there. In fact,
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 1: the Brewers have only been in one World Series, 1982,
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 1: lost to the Cardinals in seven games. They've been close
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 1: many times. They've been the top seed. many times, but
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 1: they've only been to one world series and they've never
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 1: won a world series. So those two have never won one.
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 1: The Seattle Mariners have never won a world series. Um,
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 1: Colorado was never won a world. So they've been to one,
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 1: they lost to the Red Sox, got swept in 07.
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 1: And I think there's one other one. Who's the other one? Padres.
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 1: How could I forget? Uh, the Padres who were an
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 1: expansion team in 69. So they're all expansion teams at
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 1: one point or another, you know, from, uh, 69 on,
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 1: they were expansion teams. But Cleveland has gone the longest
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 1: of the non-expansion group without a title. And they've gone
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 1: 78 years.
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, famously taking that mantle from the Cubs.
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 1: That's right. Who broke the 108-year drought and the curse
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 1: of the Billy Goat when they did. All right, let's
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 1: hear from Arch Manning. And Arch, in talking about trying
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 1: to get his team... going better was asked about short
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 1: yardage plays and does he feel comfortable with some short
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 1: yardage plays they can rely on.
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah i think so for sure um those are the
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 4: plays that help you win games so gotta have those plays.
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 1: All right that makes a difference now um in addition
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 1: to that uh did he go over to um basically
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 1: uh console gianni spedic after he missed that long field
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 1: goal after he missed it i told him we're gonna
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 1: get the ball back and give him another chance ultimately
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 1: that didn't happen but uh I know he'll make the
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 1: next one and I have complete faith and have faith
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 1: in this team that we're going to bounce back.
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 4: Um, this adversity will be good for us and we'll
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 4: look back and be thankful for it.
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: Arch was asked, are there leadership voices on offense other
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 1: than his late in the game?
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 4: Hearing from Goosby, Connor, um, Wingo, just knowing that we're
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 4: built for it. Um, obviously didn't want that, that outcome,
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 4: me throwing a pick, but, uh, I'm not going to
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 4: shy away from that moment. I felt very comfortable in
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 4: the moment and, uh, When it arises again, we'll be
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 4: ready for it.
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 1: Okay, so there is adversity here. How does it impact him?
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 4: It's not fun when it's happening, but there's only one
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 4: way you can respond. You can let it linger and
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 4: let it affect the next week, or you can bounce back.
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 4: And so we've got one choice.
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, last year, of course, the Longhorns did not play
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 1: well and Gainesville lost to Florida. So he was asked
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 1: about facing Florida one year after what happened a year ago.
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 4: I'm very excited. Obviously, it's a new coach. They've got
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 4: some new players, but they left a bad taste in
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 4: my mouth last year.
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 1: Arch was asked, is the pass protection better this year,
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 1: and in what way? It's way better.
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 4: They're doing a really good job. I haven't helped them
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 4: out a ton. I'm going to help them out more,
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 4: getting the ball out. I've been taking some unnecessary sacks,
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 4: so I'm going to help them out, and they're going
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 4: to continue to play better, and I'm excited for this week.
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 1: Derek Cooper, of course, had a couple of nice runs,
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 1: and he was asked where Cooper's starting to take the
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 1: big steps. Derek's making the most out of opportunities.
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 4: The carries he gets, he makes the most out of them,
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 4: so That's all you can ask for, especially when you're
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 4: a young player. You're only getting so many opportunities. Don't
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 4: count your plays. Make your plays count. I think he's
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 4: doing a good job of that.
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 10: All right.
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 4: And about that other freshman, Jermaine Bishop? Having Jermaine on
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 4: the field helps a lot. He's a really good player.
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 4: And I think we've got to execute on every personnel,
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 4: and that starts with me.
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 10: All right.
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 1: So then he was asked if he knew John Summerall.
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 1: from his time growing up in New Orleans when Summerall
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 1: was the coach at Tulane.
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 4: Summerall, of course, now the coach of Florida. I met
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 4: him at MPA, I think two summers ago. Really good coach.
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 4: Everyone in New Orleans loves him for what he does
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 4: at Tulane or did at Tulane. So we're excited for
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 4: the opportunity. I know it's going to be a really
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 4: good game.
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 1: Following a loss like this, who does he turn to
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 1: for some comfort and guidance?
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 4: My parents, my roommates, and the team. Kind of stick
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 4: to your close circle. after wins and losses, that's who I,
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 4: that's who I hang around. All right. Does he talk
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 4: with mentors after a defeat like this? Just talk to
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 4: my dad and, uh, talk to the coaches. Um, the
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 4: coaches are always honest with me and tell me what
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 4: I need to hear. Even sometimes when I don't want
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 4: to hear it. So just got to continue to get
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 4: better and, uh, and grow.
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 10: All right.
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 1: And, uh, how about, uh, a personal quarterback coach? Do
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 1: you have one of those growing up?
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but I always, you know, have my grandfather and dad,
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 4: those who I relied on the most.
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 4: And then finally, How does this loss against Oklahoma feel different?
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 4: All losses hurt, but it's about how you respond. You're
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 4: not going to win every game in life or in football.
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 4: I don't think anyone's ever won every game, but you
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 4: can respond well, and that's what we're going to do. Okay.
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 1: All right. We'll be back to wrap up today's edition
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 1: of the program on 13 Under the Zone.
