- 0:51Speaker 1: going to look at the Oklahoma roster. Who needs to
- 0:53Speaker 1: step up? Who do we hope to impact these games?
- 0:56Speaker 1: And then, of course, right after this one, we are
- 0:59Speaker 1: right on to Georgia. uh this video is powered by

- 1:20Speaker 1: happy thursday my man how you feeling.
- 1:22Speaker 2: Hey um i'm feeling good also i saw the jordan
- 1:25Speaker 2: walker graphic there um Last night, after wondering if it's
- 1:30Speaker 2: going to be part of the team, this Cardinal youngster
- 1:33Speaker 2: won the Home Run Derby this year. He hit 20
- 1:36Speaker 2: stolen bases, 20 home runs, 100 RBIs. So congratulations to
- 1:40Speaker 2: Jordan Walker. And that just proves that everybody wants to
- 1:45Speaker 2: talk about something else in this offense. But let's break
- 1:49Speaker 2: it down because I think that there's hope.
- 1:54Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not completely just... I think the team's dead.
- 1:58Speaker 1: And I'm kind of here with Gears of War here.
- 2:02Speaker 1: I'm in the same mindset of, we'll get through this.
- 2:06Speaker 1: It ain't going to be perfect. We're all going to
- 2:08Speaker 1: be annoyed, pissed. You shouldn't be after a loss. Nothing
- 2:12Speaker 1: wrong with that. Especially the way the loss happened. If
- 2:17Speaker 1: we had got blown out, I wouldn't even have been upset.
- 2:20Speaker 1: I'd have been like, dang, yeah, we kind of stink.
- 2:22Speaker 1: They're really good. The fact that the way we lost that,
- 2:29Speaker 1: it's like, dog, this game, we gave up 80, less
- 2:33Speaker 1: than 80, 75 yards, less than 80 yards in the
- 2:35Speaker 1: whole second half. And y'all couldn't close. We fumbled on
- 2:38Speaker 1: a drive that was going to be a touchdown, a
- 2:40Speaker 1: scoring drive at least. It's like, gosh, man, just everything
- 2:44Speaker 1: just piling up. But I digress. We flushed that. We're
- 2:50Speaker 1: on to New Mexico. So, Coop, we're going to start
- 2:52Speaker 1: off with injury updates because me and you have not
- 2:56Speaker 1: talked about this. Me and John talked about it over
- 2:58Speaker 1: on Locked On. Soon as you can check that out,
- 3:01Speaker 1: wherever you are here on YouTube as well, wherever podcasts
- 3:05Speaker 1: are downloaded and listened to. But Trail Harris out indefinitely.
- 3:11Speaker 1: I've been seeing on the social, sounds like something internally
- 3:14Speaker 1: got lacerated on that big hit he took. And because
- 3:19Speaker 1: of that, He was able to play the whole second
- 3:22Speaker 1: half just fine. But when those things happen, which means
- 3:26Speaker 1: obviously I don't think it is as bad as we
- 3:28Speaker 1: think it could be. Like the most extreme thought behind
- 3:32Speaker 1: this injury, you don't have to be a doctor to
- 3:34Speaker 1: believe this. The most extreme version of this injury, he
- 3:39Speaker 1: wasn't coming back. Like they were going to put him
- 3:41Speaker 1: in the ambulance immediately. He came back. He played really
- 3:45Speaker 1: good in the second half. I think he had three
- 3:47Speaker 1: of his four catches in the second half with those
- 3:49Speaker 1: two great ones on that drive in the third that
- 3:52Speaker 1: led to the touchdown. So it was one of those
- 3:54Speaker 1: that later on he started to feel it. So it
- 3:57Speaker 1: means that it's the lacerations probably not as brutal in
- 4:02Speaker 1: my personal opinion. And so, but I don't expect to
- 4:05Speaker 1: see him anytime soon. Like I don't expect, heck, I
- 4:09Speaker 1: think we're lucky to see him last game of the season.
- 4:12Speaker 1: I'm going to be honest.
- 4:14Speaker 2: Nobody can, you know, last year I broke my wrist.
- 4:18Speaker 2: I think two days before John Mateer broke his, um,
- 4:22Speaker 2: this is an injury. I also have some experience with, uh,
- 4:25Speaker 2: we were playing ultimate Frisbee, uh, after church on the
- 4:28Speaker 2: North oval, uh, when I was at OU and I
- 4:32Speaker 2: ran in about that time, uh, I was not two
- 4:34Speaker 2: 25 coop. I was, I think probably like one 75
- 4:37Speaker 2: coop and I ran into a two 25 guy and, um,
- 4:42Speaker 2: So I punctured my lung, lacerated my liver, and I
- 4:48Speaker 2: caught my breath, got back in and played for about
- 4:51Speaker 2: another hour, about an hour and a half in. We
- 4:55Speaker 2: were done, got back to the apartment, got into the shower,
- 4:59Speaker 2: and I collapsed because all the adrenaline just disappeared. And
- 5:05Speaker 2: so if it's situations like that, I don't think that Trell,
- 5:10Speaker 2: based off kind of the rumors.
- 5:12Speaker 3: I don't think that Trell's.
- 5:13Speaker 2: In any immediate risk right now, but when your organs are,
- 5:19Speaker 2: like your liver, kidneys, stuff like that, there's a protective outlying,
- 5:24Speaker 2: and if that punctures, then you are in a hospital
- 5:28Speaker 2: racing for surgery because that's what they told me when
- 5:31Speaker 2: I left Norman Regional.
- 5:33Speaker 3: So, yeah, I expect we'll probably see Trell a little
- 5:36Speaker 3: bit later. I think my.
- 5:40Speaker 2: Silver lining on this is Now I think you have
- 5:43Speaker 2: to force feed some younger guys, which is going to
- 5:46Speaker 2: help us for next year.
- 5:48Speaker 3: Whereas Trell, this is the year. This was it, right?
- 5:51Speaker 2: So I think that if you're playing for something at
- 5:53Speaker 2: the end of the season, which is still on the table,
- 5:56Speaker 2: we may see him again. Otherwise, he's got a slightly
- 6:00Speaker 2: longer career than Doriel Green Beckham did.
- 6:04Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
- 6:04Speaker 2: But....
- 6:08Speaker 1: Trill took a big hit, continued to play, got him
- 6:10Speaker 1: his map props. And now we've got to look forward
- 6:12Speaker 1: as to who steps up, and we'll talk about that
- 6:15Speaker 1: here in a bit. Next on that list of injuries, Kip,
- 6:19Speaker 1: it's better. We talked about this Sunday, but... I still
- 6:22Speaker 1: think it's something worth talking about a little bit more.
- 6:25Speaker 1: Kip BV says that it's better than they expected when
- 6:29Speaker 1: they looked it up. I know initially, I think I
- 6:31Speaker 1: was walking around Michigan stadium. I inside the stadium service
- 6:35Speaker 1: was terrible. So I got zero notifications or information really
- 6:38Speaker 1: during the game. So I went out to the concourse,
- 6:40Speaker 1: rocked around at half when things were stinky, tried to
- 6:44Speaker 1: find a bathroom and goodness, it was terrible trying to
- 6:46Speaker 1: find one because of how they designed the place. But,
- 6:51Speaker 1: Saw the notifications. Everybody saw my kip. And, of course,
- 6:54Speaker 1: the first thing everyone's like, oh, he tore his ACL.
- 6:56Speaker 1: He's done. I'm like, ah, snap. But then B.B. comes
- 7:02Speaker 1: back and says, nah, don't think it's that bad. I
- 7:05Speaker 1: think we're good.
- 7:06Speaker 3: So that's why.
- 7:07Speaker 1: Sooner or later.
- 7:08Speaker 3: That's why you didn't text me back. I understand.
- 7:11Speaker 1: That's exactly why.
- 7:12Speaker 2: I didn't text you because I was still in the.
- 7:17Speaker 1: Case for surgery. Coop was on that stuff, on that good.
- 7:20Speaker 1: He was on a good good after he had a
- 7:22Speaker 1: little bit of a procedure. So now, but he's good
- 7:25Speaker 1: to be back. But yeah, we didn't hear the worst.
- 7:29Speaker 1: And B.V. comes and tells us, nah, sooner than later.
- 7:32Speaker 1: So we're appreciative of that. And when he says sooner
- 7:35Speaker 1: than later, that means it's probably going to be sooner
- 7:36Speaker 1: than later. I mean, we lucked out. Micah came back,
- 7:39Speaker 1: looked better than I thought he would at post-injury. Same
- 7:42Speaker 1: thing with Foggia. He had his moments. Left isn't a
- 7:45Speaker 1: natural position for him. But he stepped in there and
- 7:49Speaker 1: did it. So, yeah, now we can just get back
- 7:52Speaker 1: to bullying people again. But Kip, in the future, cross
- 7:56Speaker 1: our fingers and toes by Texas. Yeah.
- 7:59Speaker 3: And Kip, Kip's a competitor.
- 8:02Speaker 1: And he.
- 8:04Speaker 2: He lives and dies every single play on the field,
- 8:07Speaker 2: and I think that he learned that from Danny. And
- 8:12Speaker 2: when he came off to the sideline, he was out
- 8:16Speaker 2: of his mind. He was really struggling with it because
- 8:19Speaker 2: he thought that something bad had happened. And any time
- 8:23Speaker 2: that you feel anything down in the knee area, again,
- 8:26Speaker 2: I bring up the adrenaline. So I'm happy about that
- 8:29Speaker 2: for Kip. So we'll get to see him again here
- 8:31Speaker 2: before too long. And again, more young guy time. Yeah.
- 8:37Speaker 1: And that's what's most important. You want some more young
- 8:40Speaker 1: guy time. You just want him to come back and
- 8:45Speaker 1: be good in preparation for the big games, the additional
- 8:48Speaker 1: big games. But I am excited to see a Cole Sullivan.
- 8:53Speaker 1: I'm ready to see James Nesta figure it out, especially
- 8:58Speaker 1: against New Mexico. This is the game where he should
- 9:00Speaker 1: do that. uh really really lock in because you're playing
- 9:03Speaker 1: a lot on top of that though it does sound
- 9:07Speaker 1: like Jonathan Hatton is good to go and the anticipation
- 9:12Speaker 1: is he should see a lot of the field this
- 9:13Speaker 1: week and we talked about this in the discord a
- 9:16Speaker 1: little bit you can uh check it out the links
- 9:18Speaker 1: in description below if you want to come in and
- 9:20Speaker 1: talk ball with us we're kind of talking about it
- 9:22Speaker 1: and Like statistically, and I've kind of returned an amazing,
- 9:28Speaker 1: Jay kind of mentioned it, 3868, asked about the run game,
- 9:31Speaker 1: blaming Ott. I didn't blame Ott. I thought our problem
- 9:33Speaker 1: was a lot more things with just the backs never
- 9:36Speaker 1: being healthy. Kind of dealing with that again this year.
- 9:38Speaker 1: But statistically, our running game is actually better when we
- 9:43Speaker 1: run the ball. The problem is we're just not running
- 9:46Speaker 1: the ball. Like in that Michigan game, we should have
- 9:49Speaker 1: ran the ball better 20 times with the running backs
- 9:53Speaker 1: by themselves. John should have added an additional 13 to 15.
- 9:55Speaker 1: So you get closer to, and then whatever you do
- 9:58Speaker 1: your little jet, sweeps and stuff. We should have had
- 10:01Speaker 1: about 40 carries because the run game was seeing success
- 10:05Speaker 1: early and we kept going away from it. That's what
- 10:08Speaker 1: buckle needs to fix. And if anything, I need BV
- 10:12Speaker 1: to go the Bob Stoops route and just tell him, nah, dog,
- 10:15Speaker 1: we going to do this. I need you to do this.
- 10:17Speaker 1: Call these plays that will get us to this result.
- 10:20Speaker 1: Run the ball. Hand the ball off. Hand the ball off.
- 10:24Speaker 1: Hand the ball off. So, in that case, that's what
- 10:28Speaker 1: you need to do.
- 10:31Speaker 3: It's the same game plan that you wanted to do
- 10:34Speaker 3: in week one. It is go out there and bully ball.
- 10:39Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 10:40Speaker 2: I mean, I'm just going to be honest. There's... There's
- 10:43Speaker 2: a lot about it from a... A lot of people
- 10:46Speaker 2: give Barry Trammell a lot of grief with some of
- 10:50Speaker 2: his questions, whether it's going all the way back to
- 10:52Speaker 2: Russell Westbrook, to some of the questions he's asked or
- 10:56Speaker 2: takes on the Sooners.
- 10:58Speaker 3: And I would say this.
- 11:01Speaker 2: It was a hard question that he asked in the
- 11:03Speaker 2: press conference, basically saying, do you feel like you're coaching
- 11:07Speaker 2: for your job moving forward, essentially? I....
- 11:14Speaker 3: Absolutely.
- 11:16Speaker 2: I absolutely think that for Ben Arbuckle, he needs to
- 11:19Speaker 2: get back into listening, taking advice from the Kevin Wilson side.
- 11:26Speaker 2: But Lincoln Riley, we saw the issues when he first
- 11:31Speaker 2: took over. He wanted to run the ball until it
- 11:34Speaker 2: was time to open up the pass game and then
- 11:36Speaker 2: just go pass happy for the rest of the game.
- 11:39Speaker 2: And Bob Stoops had to rein him in and say, no, no, no.
- 11:42Speaker 2: That guy's name is Samaj Pirine. That's Joe Mixon. We
- 11:46Speaker 2: need to run the ball.
- 11:47Speaker 3: Like, that's it.
- 11:48Speaker 2: Now, I'm not saying that we have Samaj Pirine and
- 11:51Speaker 2: Joe Mixon on the staff here or the team, but
- 11:55Speaker 2: I do think that we have talented backs.
- 11:57Speaker 3: And we have better tight ends, better blocking.
- 12:00Speaker 2: I think that the offensive line, you know, shakes have
- 12:04Speaker 2: really put.
- 12:06Speaker 3: A stunt on the growth. And I still say that.
- 12:09Speaker 2: This is the best and most talented roster that– I mean,
- 12:12Speaker 2: I see what you're saying, Rob. It's still the most
- 12:16Speaker 2: talented roster on paper. And before the season starts, that's
- 12:20Speaker 2: what you can report on. I think that the injuries
- 12:24Speaker 2: on offense have really stunted this team's offensive growth. I
- 12:29Speaker 2: think that it's affected John again. It's time to just
- 12:33Speaker 2: understand that, guys, go out there and let's just play.
- 12:36Speaker 3: Let's have fun.
- 12:36Speaker 2: Let's get on a roll because– You can flip this and,
- 12:40Speaker 2: you know, because after the Texas game, we all felt
- 12:43Speaker 2: the same way last year. It was, okay, well, let's
- 12:46Speaker 2: make sure that we get to a bowl game and
- 12:48Speaker 2: beat whoever the hell we're playing. And, you know, it
- 12:51Speaker 2: did turn around. So it can still do that. And,
- 12:55Speaker 2: you know, taking a page from Michigan, J.J. McCarthy is
- 12:59Speaker 2: cheeks as a quarterback. And they found a way and
- 13:03Speaker 2: a system and a plan to navigate around that. This
- 13:08Speaker 2: staff better do it now because we will be doing
- 13:11Speaker 2: an OC job search at the end of the season
- 13:16Speaker 2: if we don't. Yeah.
- 13:18Speaker 1: That's exactly what is going to happen if we don't
- 13:21Speaker 1: just get it. And as the homies Ophix here posted, HTBO.
- 13:26Speaker 1: If y'all know, you know. Shout out to Gabe Eichert
- 13:30Speaker 1: and the Oklahoma Breakdown. Yeah. But outside of that, and
- 13:34Speaker 1: Jimmy mentioned in here, I heard something about Cole Sullivan
- 13:39Speaker 1: spraining himself, his knee as well. He may play, he
- 13:42Speaker 1: may not play. Truth be told, we don't need him
- 13:44Speaker 1: in New Mexico. We need him in Georgia. I need
- 13:47Speaker 1: the young linebackers to learn how to fill up those fits.
- 13:51Speaker 1: I need them to learn how to wrap up. And
- 13:53Speaker 1: I need us to be able to go back to
- 13:55Speaker 1: having a deeper rotation of LBs. So Marcus James, Dane Bathurst,
- 14:03Speaker 1: Show me what you got, guys. This is the perfect
- 14:06Speaker 1: game for them to go out there and break out.
- 14:08Speaker 1: Dane Bathurst looked pretty good against UTEP, and so I'm
- 14:11Speaker 1: pretty excited about him. Get going. But besides that, the
- 14:19Speaker 1: biggest thing here is New Mexico is.
- 14:27Speaker 1: A solid team. Jason Eck is a fantastic coach. I
- 14:31Speaker 1: think he's going to end up being a P4 head
- 14:33Speaker 1: coach here in the next year or two. He went
- 14:37Speaker 1: 9-4 last year for New Mexico Lobo squad. That's usually
- 14:43Speaker 1: at the bottom. He brought them up pretty high. I
- 14:46Speaker 1: like what I saw out of him. The good thing
- 14:49Speaker 1: of going against them is starting quarterback's gone. They got
- 14:52Speaker 1: two backups and their backups ain't very good. Even in
- 14:55Speaker 1: the blowout wins. No. They haven't. So what they had
- 14:58Speaker 1: to rely on is the run game. Typically pretty good
- 15:01Speaker 1: at that. So we stopped their run. We stuffed their run,
- 15:07Speaker 1: forced them to throw a lot. There's a good chance
- 15:11Speaker 1: we could do what we need to do to get
- 15:15Speaker 1: a very fast victory. Let's put it that way. As in,
- 15:20Speaker 1: we should be up a couple of scores very early,
- 15:22Speaker 1: like against UTEP, and then you just kind of coast.
- 15:26Speaker 1: I'm going to be honest, Coop. I don't want that.
- 15:30Speaker 1: I want you to hang half a hundy and I
- 15:32Speaker 1: want you to blow them out badly. Yeah. I want
- 15:37Speaker 1: that not to disrespect New Mexico, but I need you
- 15:41Speaker 1: to show me some efficiency and some execution on your offense.
- 15:45Speaker 1: I also need to see some additional execution on your defense.
- 15:48Speaker 1: If I'm going to continue to believe, I just need
- 15:51Speaker 1: to see you go out there and execute. You executing
- 15:54Speaker 1: this game, Against a team that's actually solid. Now, I
- 15:59Speaker 1: didn't say they were great. I didn't say they were good.
- 16:01Speaker 1: I said they're solid. Because they're a team that a
- 16:03Speaker 1: lot of people considered as the G6 representative, possibly, in
- 16:09Speaker 1: the playoffs. Because they may end up running off and
- 16:12Speaker 1: being undefeated. Outside of their P4 games. Execute. If you execute,
- 16:22Speaker 1: I'm satisfied. That's what I need.
- 16:25Speaker 3: Execute.
- 16:27Speaker 1: And if you execute properly, you should be able to
- 16:28Speaker 1: blow this team out. Because their quarterbacks statistically do not
- 16:33Speaker 1: run the ball very well. At all, actually. They don't
- 16:36Speaker 1: really run the ball. Toa does. Their backup quarterback, Tamoga,
- 16:41Speaker 1: who's a starter. He runs often. Levin carries 57 yards, 55.2
- 16:46Speaker 1: yards a carry. But they don't run that much.
- 16:50Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 16:52Speaker 1: Execute.
- 16:55Speaker 2: This is a game where I think, like you were
- 16:56Speaker 2: talking about, with the amount of guys that you're probably
- 16:58Speaker 2: going to be rotating in from a linebacker standpoint, I'm
- 17:01Speaker 2: guessing some creativity is going to be used in here.
- 17:05Speaker 3: They're going to do a lot of what UTEP did.
- 17:13Speaker 3: They're going to try to Just move it left, right, left, right, left, right, left, right.
- 17:21Speaker 2: They're going to try to take advantage of somebody not
- 17:24Speaker 2: getting a run fit. That's what they're going to do.
- 17:28Speaker 2: They don't throw the ball particularly well. I think even
- 17:30Speaker 2: in the game where they threw up like 70, it
- 17:33Speaker 2: was not a good 70. It was kind of like
- 17:35Speaker 2: Michael Hawkins' stat line against Kent State last year. It's
- 17:37Speaker 2: like it should be better. You scored a lot of points.
- 17:41Speaker 2: It should be better. So I'm okay this game with
- 17:47Speaker 2: this team and this defense. with some of the young guys,
- 17:50Speaker 2: you miss a fit, you miss a tackle. Like it's,
- 17:53Speaker 2: it's not that big of a deal. Um, you know,
- 17:57Speaker 2: let's get in here and do that the appropriate way.
- 18:01Speaker 2: I mean, we, you know, the defense as you know,
- 18:04Speaker 2: I see a lot of negativity about, you know, David stone.
- 18:08Speaker 2: And I see a lot of negativity about the defense
- 18:10Speaker 2: and stuff like that. How many points is this defense?
- 18:13Speaker 2: I mean, true points as this defense given up to
- 18:15Speaker 2: this point, 10, you know, like, That's it in two games.
- 18:22Speaker 2: You throw an interception, you know, basically in the red zone.
- 18:25Speaker 2: I mean, that's a tough task. You just keep on
- 18:28Speaker 2: giving them options. I want to see the defense come out.
- 18:32Speaker 2: I want to see guys play within themselves. Bogonowski is
- 18:35Speaker 2: a guy that I want to come in and really
- 18:38Speaker 2: try to be a little, I mean, just a half
- 18:42Speaker 2: a step slower and try to make sure that you're
- 18:46Speaker 2: going for the appropriate tackles and stuff because that's what
- 18:50Speaker 2: I don't want to see. I don't want to see
- 18:51Speaker 2: guys hitting guys, you know, as they're moving, you know,
- 18:55Speaker 2: as guys are moving laterally and you hit them and
- 18:58Speaker 2: they don't go down and then you fall down and
- 19:01Speaker 2: they get another six or seven yards. Gabe and Teddy
- 19:04Speaker 2: talked about it, you know, getting drug a little bit.
- 19:06Speaker 2: You know, last year you're hitting guys for a three-yard loss.
- 19:10Speaker 2: This year you're not wrapping up appropriately and they're getting
- 19:13Speaker 2: back to the line of scrimmage. So you're missing some
- 19:15Speaker 2: TFL numbers. And that's that hidden yardage in there. Like,
- 19:19Speaker 2: I want to see the effort there. I think that
- 19:21Speaker 2: there's a lot of young guys who are going to
- 19:22Speaker 2: come in and show a lot of effort. And this
- 19:25Speaker 2: is a game to where, listen, I mean, I know
- 19:28Speaker 2: Sooner Nation is going to feel this way. We're going
- 19:30Speaker 2: to go out there and you go out and you
- 19:32Speaker 2: throw up something like a 70 to 10 or something
- 19:34Speaker 2: like that on the board. And there's going to be
- 19:36Speaker 2: a lot of people going, okay, you know, now we're fixed.
- 19:41Speaker 2: We still got a long road to go, especially with
- 19:44Speaker 2: the next two opponents. But It'll go a lot further
- 19:48Speaker 2: doing what you just said, Jay. and go out there
- 19:51Speaker 2: and let's show that we can execute on offense, on defense,
- 19:56Speaker 2: create some points on defense, some big explosive plays on offense.
- 20:01Speaker 2: And we want to see something to believe in because
- 20:03Speaker 2: if John Mateer goes out and he is 15 for
- 20:05Speaker 2: 25 for 250 yards and three touchdowns, I might be
- 20:10Speaker 2: a little bit disappointed. I want to see him being
- 20:14Speaker 2: extremely efficient this game. I want to see the defense
- 20:19Speaker 2: really get back to just do your job and hit
- 20:23Speaker 2: the run fits, do the responsibilities how they're supposed to happen.
- 20:27Speaker 2: If a guy breaks a tackle, I'm okay with that.
- 20:32Speaker 2: We usually swarm pretty well. But I don't want guys
- 20:36Speaker 2: running completely out of their position trying to play hero ball.
- 20:39Speaker 3: Exactly.
- 20:40Speaker 1: I don't want one person to do anything. I don't
- 20:44Speaker 1: want hero baldness. I don't need it. Don't need it.
- 20:47Speaker 1: Especially this week. This week I need you to go
- 20:49Speaker 1: out there and execute as a team. Give me the
- 20:51Speaker 1: full offensive setup, full offensive gauntlet. Give me everything, all
- 20:54Speaker 1: the meat and potatoes on there. And I know so many, everybody,
- 20:58Speaker 1: a few in the comments, my boy Chuck in here
- 20:59Speaker 1: saying season's over. Cool. Well, I guess season's over for you,
- 21:03Speaker 1: my bad, bro. We're not going to stop live streaming
- 21:06Speaker 1: and talking ball. Like, that's not going to stop us.
- 21:08Speaker 1: We have nothing else to do. Like, I do this
- 21:10Speaker 1: for fun. I don't do this because I have to.
- 21:12Speaker 1: I do this because I enjoy hanging out with y'all, right?
- 21:15Speaker 3: Like, this is what we're doing. If it's over, like,
- 21:18Speaker 3: why are we here tonight?
- 21:20Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I'm here because I enjoy being here with y'all. Like,
- 21:23Speaker 1: we're not going to not be here. Like, we're not
- 21:25Speaker 1: going to stop. Like, I'm not going to quit. I mean,
- 21:27Speaker 1: I could. I mean, I got so many other things
- 21:30Speaker 1: I can get done, if you want me to be honest.
- 21:32Speaker 1: So many things around this house I need to get
- 21:33Speaker 1: done that I always put on the back burner because
- 21:34Speaker 1: I want to talk about hanging out with y'all. So, again,
- 21:36Speaker 1: I get that for some people the season's over. It
- 21:40Speaker 1: ain't for me. I expect them to turn this ish around, period.
- 21:44Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 21:45Speaker 1: Period. Period. Turn this ish around. That's the reason why
- 21:49Speaker 1: you're blue blood. But we'll put up some numbers real
- 21:51Speaker 1: quick though, Coop. Got to point this out. Oklahoma is
- 21:53Speaker 1: number 20 in the country in total defense. Now point
- 21:56Speaker 1: out efficiency yet. I'm not even going to go to
- 21:58Speaker 1: the whole efficiency numbers yet because I usually don't look
- 22:00Speaker 1: at the efficiency numbers until like week four because you
- 22:03Speaker 1: got to take out because you got to be able
- 22:04Speaker 1: to have an opponent adjust it. And right now with
- 22:07Speaker 1: only two games, most of the people on here for
- 22:09Speaker 1: the total defense play cupcakes start the year. The only
- 22:12Speaker 1: team with a good one that's played a good team
- 22:15Speaker 1: in theory, LSU. They're number one. So in theory, they're good.
- 22:23Speaker 1: But I don't know. I don't think Clemson was very good. But, hey,
- 22:27Speaker 1: 20th in total defense, not bad. Scoring defense, they're like 13th, 8.5,
- 22:33Speaker 1: so less than 10 points a game.
- 22:34Speaker 3: I think number two in the SEC.
- 22:36Speaker 1: Yeah, number two in the SEC. Like a lot of
- 22:38Speaker 1: the stuff that the defense is doing, they've done a
- 22:41Speaker 1: lot of their part. The offense needs to step up.
- 22:43Speaker 1: And it's 100% it. Like we were all told, I've
- 22:45Speaker 1: said it before, I felt like I was lied to.
- 22:47Speaker 1: We were told we were going to do this. And
- 22:49Speaker 1: then guess what we did week one, Coop? We did it.
- 22:53Speaker 1: We freaking did it. We actually ran 12, 13 personnel.
- 22:59Speaker 1: We ran a 14 personnel. They had my mouth watering.
- 23:04Speaker 1: And then we did not do it the next game. Like,
- 23:06Speaker 1: what are we doing? So besides the complaint there, I
- 23:13Speaker 1: do want to see execution going forward, especially against New Mexico.
- 23:19Speaker 1: The Georgia game is funny to me because the spread
- 23:21Speaker 1: ain't moving. I have been watching it. The reason why
- 23:29Speaker 1: we're going today instead of yesterday is I've been in
- 23:32Speaker 1: Vegas for the last few days for work. And so
- 23:38Speaker 1: I'm on the apps. I'm going to the book. I
- 23:40Speaker 1: went I went to the MGM sports books. I want
- 23:42Speaker 1: to go look at something. I went to a few
- 23:44Speaker 1: of the books. It's like, all right, I want to
- 23:45Speaker 1: see what they tell. I'm looking at this Georgia spread.
- 23:47Speaker 1: I'm like, wait, why is it still only 10? Why
- 23:51Speaker 1: hasn't that been adjusted for the thought process that Oklahoma stinks?
- 23:56Speaker 1: This is not what I thought this was going to be.
- 23:59Speaker 1: My expectation was the thought that Oklahoma stinks and this
- 24:02Speaker 1: should be a lower spread. This spread should be higher, actually.
- 24:05Speaker 1: Should be like 15, 17. Especially because Georgia's been beating
- 24:08Speaker 1: the crap out of teams. Like, Kirby covered a spread, bro.
- 24:12Speaker 3: Coop.
- 24:13Speaker 1: Kirby covered a spread against a cupcake. He don't do that.
- 24:16Speaker 1: I think he's only done it once. Actually, this was
- 24:19Speaker 1: the first time. So, yeah. That's what it is. So,
- 24:28Speaker 1: in that part, I'm like, okay. Georgia's good. Why ain't
- 24:31Speaker 1: the spread changed? Why is it not like 17? You
- 24:38Speaker 1: seeing 13 sooner, Cowboy? I was seeing 10. Now people
- 24:42Speaker 1: may be betting it up. Which I'm totally here for.
- 24:46Speaker 1: I'm seeing 10.5 in FanDuel. Like it's not moving. What
- 24:52Speaker 1: are we doing? I don't know.
- 24:59Speaker 2: I can tell you this too. A lot of it's
- 25:01Speaker 2: going to have to do with old Georgia gets Arkansas
- 25:07Speaker 2: this week. And I don't think that Arkansas is going
- 25:11Speaker 2: to do a magic turnaround or anything, but that's going
- 25:15Speaker 2: to be two different ball games that they play. So
- 25:19Speaker 2: just keep that in mind. They're going to go down
- 25:20Speaker 2: and they're going to kick a couple shades out of Arkansas. And,
- 25:24Speaker 2: I mean, you could be an Arkansas fan right now.
- 25:26Speaker 2: But it's an absolute, you know, realism that if they
- 25:34Speaker 2: go down there, they're going to play lesser talent, and
- 25:37Speaker 2: then they go and they invite Oklahoma there. That game,
- 25:41Speaker 2: I mean, games like that are never just artillery out
- 25:46Speaker 2: the shed. So, yeah, I mean, that line's going to
- 25:49Speaker 2: move around a lot. So whether it's 5 1⁄2, 13 1⁄2,
- 25:51Speaker 2: whichever one it is, according to a lot of the fans,
- 25:53Speaker 2: 13 1⁄2 is not big enough.
- 25:55Speaker 3: So.
- 26:02Speaker 3: You know what?
- 26:03Speaker 1: It's okay.
- 26:03Speaker 2: Now you guys, if you think that there's no chance
- 26:06Speaker 2: that this is going to turn around at all, then
- 26:09Speaker 2: I would just say this. Then just relax and just
- 26:11Speaker 2: watch the game. You got nothing to worry about. You
- 26:14Speaker 2: got nothing to hope for or anything like that. We
- 26:17Speaker 2: just make it to a bowl game.
- 26:21Speaker 1: No pressure. I need this team to finish up 10
- 26:23Speaker 1: with 10 wins. Figure it out. Figure it out. And
- 26:28Speaker 1: guess what, Coop? That's what we're going to do. Let's
- 26:31Speaker 1: figure out how they can do it. Think I have
- 26:33Speaker 1: a few ideas of how they can do it. Before
- 26:35Speaker 1: we do that though. Continue, shout out to our partners
- 26:38Speaker 1: here at PrizePix. You know, the presenting sponsor of the channel.
- 26:41Speaker 1: Gotta give them a shout out. I'm gonna make a
- 26:42Speaker 1: couple picks here. They've got a new promo. New users,
- 26:46Speaker 1: play five, get $ 150 in bonus lineups if you win.
- 26:49Speaker 1: So of course, all the green areas, they are currently approved.
- 26:52Speaker 1: If not... We'll get you there one of these days. So,
- 26:56Speaker 1: of course, college football this weekend. You've also got baseball.
- 26:59Speaker 1: But you're going to look at college football action because
- 27:01Speaker 1: you've got the marquee matchups coming up. Darian Mensah. Taking
- 27:06Speaker 1: on Wake. You know, he's going to put up some numbers.
- 27:08Speaker 1: I'm going to go ahead and get him on a more.
- 27:10Speaker 1: We'll take Malachi Tony as well, putting up some numbers.
- 27:13Speaker 1: Trinidad Chambliss, can he score on LSU's defense? I think
- 27:16Speaker 1: he can. If you pick two or more players, you
- 27:19Speaker 1: pick more or less in the stats. Then, of course,
- 27:21Speaker 1: you are in there. Let me see what else is popular.
- 27:23Speaker 1: Ashton Daniels versus Bama. He's going to have to run
- 27:26Speaker 1: a lot, but I'm going to take him less on
- 27:27Speaker 1: the run. Yeah, pick that. No, we're going to go
- 27:32Speaker 1: ahead and power play it. I am going to remove
- 27:36Speaker 1: Gio Lopez off of there because, you know, I just
- 27:41Speaker 1: don't feel like he's going to be one of them.
- 27:42Speaker 1: But let's see. Yeah, we'll take Lopez off of there.
- 27:47Speaker 1: I think Mensah does go off, even though I like
- 27:49Speaker 1: Wake's defense. I do like what the new coach there
- 27:53Speaker 1: who came from Washington State is trying to put together.
- 27:55Speaker 1: Give me somebody that's going to be some running yards.
- 27:57Speaker 1: Let's see what some running yards look like. Houston's Makai Hughes.
- 28:03Speaker 1: He's going to get more against Tech. So we'll take that.
- 28:06Speaker 1: Check it out. Follow me at Unfair Sports. See if
- 28:09Speaker 1: you can outdo your boy. And as always, gamble responsibly.
- 28:14Speaker 1: Thank y'all for pulling up. Hit that like button. If
- 28:15Speaker 1: you're new to the channel, subscribe, rate, review. Give us
- 28:17Speaker 1: five stars. Yeah, man. I'm agreeing with everybody on the idea. Uh,
- 28:24Speaker 1: we got to find, you know, a nice portal quarterback
- 28:27Speaker 1: because our young quarterbacks may not be ready yet. Heck,
- 28:29Speaker 1: I don't know if Jameson Roberts may show up here
- 28:31Speaker 1: and just go start, you know, going crazy on folks.
- 28:35Speaker 1: I don't know, but it's a challenge. I'm watching other
- 28:38Speaker 1: teams with the same problem. Like I think the only
- 28:40Speaker 1: team that ain't got a problem right now is, uh,
- 28:43Speaker 1: what Miami, but he had to go to, uh, two
- 28:47Speaker 1: schools before people actually get, he actually was able to
- 28:50Speaker 1: get that check. Mince is good though. I like Mince
- 28:52Speaker 1: at Tulane. And we end up at Duke. I was like,
- 28:55Speaker 1: how does he end up at Duke? Like, nobody wanted
- 28:57Speaker 1: to pay him before? But you gotta find a veteran, man.
- 29:01Speaker 1: The way college football is set, the QBE valuations have
- 29:06Speaker 1: proven to be bad. They've been proven to be so
- 29:09Speaker 1: bad that most of your top P1 schools are going
- 29:11Speaker 1: for quarterbacks at other schools. You know what I'm saying?
- 29:19Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 29:20Speaker 1: Like... They're going for quarterbacks at other schools because they're not,
- 29:28Speaker 1: it's tough. They can't recruit. The guys they're bringing in
- 29:31Speaker 1: just ain't working early enough. So they're going to go
- 29:33Speaker 1: get a veteran and go. Mendoza, little Mendoza, Okie Trades
- 29:39Speaker 1: is at Georgia Tech. Go look at how he's doing there.
- 29:43Speaker 1: Go look at how Alberto's doing there. He didn't play
- 29:45Speaker 1: Tennessee last week. Go see how he's doing there. So, yeah.
- 29:50Speaker 1: There you go. And I agree, Chuck. I'll be the
- 29:53Speaker 1: first one to tell you I was wrong if they
- 29:54Speaker 1: never turn it around. We'll see, though. Because guess what?
- 29:57Speaker 1: We're only two weeks in. Besides that, Coop, when we
- 30:00Speaker 1: look at the way this is going, I think the
- 30:03Speaker 1: first thing for me is the way you win my
- 30:08Speaker 1: heart back. Because I've already said the benefit of the
- 30:09Speaker 1: doubt is gone. This is the best roster that we've
- 30:13Speaker 1: had in the BV era. Should be the most prepared.
- 30:21Speaker 1: The thing to win me back, I need to see
- 30:24Speaker 1: the run game. completely go out there and ball. Period. Like,
- 30:28Speaker 1: that's it. That's it. That's it.
- 30:37Speaker 2: It's always been for me, and I've said it in February,
- 30:42Speaker 2: I said it in April, I said it in July.
- 30:47Speaker 2: This offensive line is going to be kind of what
- 30:50Speaker 2: takes us to where we're going to go. I do
- 30:54Speaker 2: know that there is a lot of blame for John,
- 30:56Speaker 2: a lot. And I can promise you one thing. He
- 31:02Speaker 2: continues this route. He better figure out which insurance company
- 31:07Speaker 2: he wants to represent because he's not.
- 31:09Speaker 3: Playing in the league. So the offensive line, I don't care.
- 31:14Speaker 2: We've got enough great guys, and I think that a
- 31:17Speaker 2: lot of the issues with with this offensive line and
- 31:22Speaker 2: some of the injuries here recently is we got into
- 31:25Speaker 2: a cycle to where we had to play some of
- 31:28Speaker 2: the younger guys against a more veteran and nasty defense
- 31:32Speaker 2: week in, day in, day out at practice. And you're
- 31:35Speaker 2: giving too much to the younger guys because all the
- 31:38Speaker 2: old guys were hurt. Well, same situation now. You haven't
- 31:43Speaker 2: played the same offensive line yet in two straight games.
- 31:47Speaker 2: You're dealing with a couple of injuries. You just need
- 31:51Speaker 2: to get to a spot to where, all right, it's simplification.
- 31:55Speaker 2: I don't think John has the brain for the RPO.
- 31:58Speaker 2: That was an obvious thing last year. But damn it, Jay,
- 32:02Speaker 2: the New York Jets, did you see what formation they
- 32:04Speaker 2: ran on Sunday?
- 32:05Speaker 1: Gosh, don't tell me.
- 32:08Speaker 3: Five tight ends on the field at once. Five.
- 32:13Speaker 1: Oh, man.
- 32:15Speaker 2: They ran every single– they had Kenyon Sadiq as like
- 32:18Speaker 2: an H-back type of a role.
- 32:21Speaker 3: It was nuts. So get your best players on the field.
- 32:25Speaker 2: I mean, listen, between Arbuckle and Kevin Wilson, you can
- 32:30Speaker 2: find a way to create a game plan which is
- 32:33Speaker 2: going to muck it up a little bit, and you're
- 32:36Speaker 2: going to have to stop the run. I think that
- 32:38Speaker 2: this offensive line, the running backs and the tight ends,
- 32:41Speaker 2: can put together a game where you're averaging four and
- 32:43Speaker 2: a half yards per carry throughout the whole game, and
- 32:46Speaker 2: you run the ball 40 times.
- 32:47Speaker 3: Like, that's it. And I think that if you do that,
- 32:50Speaker 3: I think it says a lot to John.
- 32:52Speaker 2: And it says, hey, man, if you can't do this
- 32:54Speaker 2: for us, we're going to do it in spite of you.
- 32:58Speaker 2: I'm not against either seeing Whit Neubauer earlier rather than
- 33:03Speaker 2: later because if John struggles against New Mexico at all
- 33:08Speaker 2: or has some issues with just simple things, then, yeah,
- 33:12Speaker 2: it looks a lot like Jackson Arnold. So maybe you
- 33:17Speaker 2: throw in the 6'6 guy and say, all right, buddy,
- 33:21Speaker 2: Just go out there and toss the rock.
- 33:23Speaker 3: We're going to run the ball like crazy. It's your turn.
- 33:27Speaker 2: You've got read one, read two, step up and take off.
- 33:32Speaker 3: Whoever the quarterback is, that's what it is.
- 33:35Speaker 2: I'm going to go ahead and say at this point
- 33:36Speaker 2: that John Mateer is not going to be in the
- 33:38Speaker 2: Heisman race this year. He's not going to be battling
- 33:42Speaker 2: that out for all-conference quarterback or anything like that. I
- 33:45Speaker 2: don't think that that's on the table, but I do
- 33:48Speaker 2: think that he does have enough you know, to go
- 33:51Speaker 2: out there and to really just will himself and go
- 33:54Speaker 2: out there and have fun. I think that he's trying
- 33:57Speaker 2: to do too many things at once. He's trying to
- 34:00Speaker 2: remember about his feet, remember about his mechanics, remember there's
- 34:04Speaker 2: too much remember and there's too much thinking. And that's
- 34:08Speaker 2: the biggest issue. So it is on this offensive staff.
- 34:12Speaker 2: Brent Venables isn't going anywhere.
- 34:15Speaker 3: He's here. He's not going anywhere.
- 34:18Speaker 2: But that offensive staff can all get lit, and they
- 34:22Speaker 2: might be looking for jobs next year. Now, you bring
- 34:25Speaker 2: in a new crop of people, it goes bad again,
- 34:27Speaker 2: then I think that people start rallying money. But at
- 34:30Speaker 2: this point, I would 100% say do your job one
- 34:36Speaker 2: play at a time. You know what your call is.
- 34:38Speaker 2: Go out there and knock it out. We need to
- 34:40Speaker 2: get in, take the physical to them, keep the offensive
- 34:44Speaker 2: guys healthy, and whatever it looks like.
- 34:48Speaker 3: I do want to see an efficient material still.
- 34:51Speaker 2: I think that against New Mexico, it is just like
- 34:54Speaker 2: playing Temple last year. Temple wasn't the Temple from a
- 34:58Speaker 2: couple years prior, but they were a team that actually
- 35:02Speaker 2: had some quality to them. Not in a P4 matter,
- 35:06Speaker 2: but in the G5 matter. I think that's the same
- 35:09Speaker 2: thing with New Mexico. You should not be able to
- 35:11Speaker 2: stand up with them from the coin flip and go,
- 35:15Speaker 2: these two teams are comparable.
- 35:18Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly it. And so going into this one, as
- 35:22Speaker 1: Gabe Iker said, HTBO. Just hand it off. From there,
- 35:28Speaker 1: after you do the handoffs and you push with the handoffs...
- 35:34Speaker 1: Then I want to see a little bit of QB
- 35:35Speaker 1: run too. Like the QB run is a play that
- 35:38Speaker 1: should be in there because what it does is it
- 35:39Speaker 1: stresses the defense even more. We've seen it. That's the
- 35:42Speaker 1: thing that stresses a Brent Venables defense. The most is
- 35:45Speaker 1: a QB that's mobile and a QB that can find
- 35:47Speaker 1: the hole and run up and get some extra yards
- 35:49Speaker 1: because now you have to account for one more guy.
- 35:52Speaker 1: Michigan was Michigan had a spy the entire game on material.
- 35:56Speaker 1: When I went back and was watching the all 22,
- 35:59Speaker 1: I'm looking at how they're moving. I'm just like, Man,
- 36:03Speaker 1: that middle of the field is open. I see why
- 36:05Speaker 1: Mateer keeps throwing it there and he was completing some
- 36:07Speaker 1: passes there. They kept having to do follow him. And
- 36:10Speaker 1: then at some point he would blitz. It was pretty smart.
- 36:15Speaker 1: I have to give them that. I was like, okay,
- 36:17Speaker 1: that makes sense to do that. That's something I've seen
- 36:20Speaker 1: BV do in the past against running quarterbacks that they couldn't.
- 36:23Speaker 1: So you have to basically trust your corners to be
- 36:27Speaker 1: able to do their jobs. With that, run the ball.
- 36:33Speaker 1: Hand it off. I want to see Avant, Hatton, Torrey
- 36:39Speaker 1: Blaylock share 50 carries. Yeah. I think that's a fair
- 36:46Speaker 1: amount of carries in a game against a team that
- 36:48Speaker 1: we should be able to do this against. I think
- 36:51Speaker 1: that's a fair number. If you can do that, you'll
- 36:58Speaker 1: make me happy.
- 36:59Speaker 2: Well, and then also what that kind of entails is
- 37:03Speaker 2: you get that to where the linebackers know that it
- 37:06Speaker 2: is more running, more running, more running, more running, more running,
- 37:10Speaker 2: more running. Eventually, one of the tight ends is going
- 37:13Speaker 2: to be able to slip out, and there's going to
- 37:16Speaker 2: be some space. I don't want any more hospital balls,
- 37:20Speaker 2: per se, from John, but expect that. If we're going
- 37:25Speaker 2: to really bear down and run the ball out of
- 37:27Speaker 2: that 12, out of the 13, having four, hell, I
- 37:29Speaker 2: don't care. pull somebody out of the crowd and let
- 37:33Speaker 2: them play tight end as a fifth tight end. But
- 37:36Speaker 2: we can do that. And I want to see John
- 37:39Speaker 2: be able to turn, you know, if it is to
- 37:42Speaker 2: pull the ball and throw it over the middle to
- 37:45Speaker 2: a tight end, you're going to have a good 15
- 37:47Speaker 2: yards of space before the next person meets that tight end.
- 37:51Speaker 3: That's the type of thing.
- 37:52Speaker 2: I'm okay if John averages, you know, nine to 10
- 37:55Speaker 2: yards per attempt, you know, because if you can just
- 37:58Speaker 2: get the ball into those tight ends hands, that's it.
- 38:02Speaker 2: The nonsense with Satania, I understand trying to get him
- 38:05Speaker 2: the ball. You know, we've seen him kind of disappear
- 38:09Speaker 2: in a few games last year. Kind of, you know,
- 38:11Speaker 2: this year, you know, he was having trouble getting separation.
- 38:15Speaker 2: You know, I think that defense for Michigan was a
- 38:17Speaker 2: lot better than we expected it to be. And then
- 38:20Speaker 2: when you start, I mean, you saw it when Michigan
- 38:23Speaker 2: played the little brother. When you are a big team
- 38:27Speaker 2: and all of a sudden the other team thinks, wait
- 38:30Speaker 2: a second, is there a chance here? it's hard to
- 38:34Speaker 2: get that separation. So like you said earlier, you got
- 38:37Speaker 2: to start fast. We got to start fast and go big.
- 38:39Speaker 2: I don't care if he throws it three yards out
- 38:41Speaker 2: of bounds. I want to see something early, though, where
- 38:46Speaker 2: we take a deep ball, whether it's to, you know,
- 38:49Speaker 2: to Satania, whether it's to, you know, Rocky Piers or,
- 38:53Speaker 2: you know, maybe ET, whatever needs to happen. I just
- 38:57Speaker 2: want to see that. I want to look that the
- 38:59Speaker 2: offense is going out there with an intent to kill.
- 39:03Speaker 1: Intent to kill.
- 39:06Speaker 2: Screw the hard to kill stuff. We have Danny Okoye's
- 39:11Speaker 2: eye black.
- 39:12Speaker 3: Kill them all.
- 39:14Speaker 2: That's what I want to see. I don't want to
- 39:16Speaker 2: see offensive linemen catching. There's a lot of frustration on
- 39:21Speaker 2: the offensive side of the ball. We all understand that.
- 39:24Speaker 1: Exactly.
- 39:25Speaker 2: It's not going to get better if the players don't
- 39:29Speaker 2: do it. But I think that the message was sent
- 39:33Speaker 2: pretty well from BV that we need to do a
- 39:37Speaker 2: better job. Now, my criticism for Brett Venables is there's
- 39:43Speaker 2: freaking breaks at the end of the first quarter, there's
- 39:45Speaker 2: halftime in the end of the third quarter. And if
- 39:48Speaker 2: you realize that you look down and we've ran the
- 39:51Speaker 2: ball 13 times with our running backs and we're having
- 39:53Speaker 2: trouble on offense, that's when you need to come over.
- 39:56Speaker 2: And I want to see him grabbing, you know, I
- 39:59Speaker 2: want to see him getting to get in our buckles
- 40:01Speaker 2: here and, you know, letting him know kind of how
- 40:03Speaker 2: he does the defense after they, you know, make a
- 40:05Speaker 2: two yard stop instead of a one yard loss. Like
- 40:08Speaker 2: I want to see him get that fired up because
- 40:11Speaker 2: it is his team.
- 40:12Speaker 3: It is his legacy. And I don't think that.
- 40:14Speaker 2: Brent Venables wants to leave Oklahoma and, with a bunch
- 40:17Speaker 2: of six win seasons when we haven't had two, you know,
- 40:21Speaker 2: under any other coach in the past.
- 40:24Speaker 3: No, not at all.
- 40:24Speaker 1: Time to make some moves. Let's push for some run, run, run. Now,
- 40:35Speaker 1: I do want to see some lob passes to Elijah Thomas.
- 40:40Speaker 1: That would make me feel good. Like, Satania is going
- 40:44Speaker 1: to be doubled. People are going to bracket him because
- 40:47Speaker 1: they know that there's chemistry there. Make up, let Elijah
- 40:51Speaker 1: Thomas get off the block, throw it in the air
- 40:54Speaker 1: and tell him, go catch it. Just lob it. That's
- 40:57Speaker 1: where material needs to work on his touch because I've
- 40:59Speaker 1: seen him throw with touch. I think this will pisses
- 41:01Speaker 1: me off. What has always pissed me off about when
- 41:04Speaker 1: I talk about him is that everything I'm asking for
- 41:07Speaker 1: is not something I've never seen before. We saw him
- 41:10Speaker 1: layer a pass to, two passes to Rocky Beers against Michigan.
- 41:14Speaker 1: We saw him layer some passes to Trell Harris. He
- 41:18Speaker 1: can do it. It's not like it's impossible. That pass
- 41:21Speaker 1: to Mackenzie Alleyne for the wide open one, which perfect design.
- 41:25Speaker 1: He waited. He looked the safety off to go chase Satania.
- 41:32Speaker 1: And the other one was watching Beers in the middle,
- 41:34Speaker 1: who was also open. He would have to come up
- 41:36Speaker 1: and tackle. But Alin was able to just mob there. Why?
- 41:39Speaker 1: He looked off the safe, hit the safety thinking he
- 41:41Speaker 1: was going to go right to Cetania on that out route. Yeah.
- 41:44Speaker 1: And it looked like he was going to go. It
- 41:46Speaker 1: was like an out and up-ish type role. It was
- 41:49Speaker 1: a vert if I'm correct, but yeah. He did a
- 41:52Speaker 1: good job of hitting that guy. He's like, you can
- 41:55Speaker 1: do this. I just need you to keep doing it.
- 41:59Speaker 1: But also stop being antsy. Stop dancing in the pocket.
- 42:01Speaker 1: Stop being, stand there. If you get hit, you get hit.
- 42:05Speaker 1: Take the sack, take the sack. Or, in the case
- 42:09Speaker 1: when you're scrambling and you don't have the play, don't
- 42:12Speaker 1: just stand there and get hit. Throw it. Throw it.
- 42:18Speaker 1: Your arm is rocket enough. You can throw it to
- 42:20Speaker 1: the back of an end zone. I've seen it. Especially
- 42:23Speaker 1: when you're scrambling. Just throw it. It's going to fly.
- 42:27Speaker 1: That's what matters. But Lassie Thomas will be good. We
- 42:30Speaker 1: already know the tight end is going to get involved.
- 42:32Speaker 1: Rocky Beers is one of the top receivers on the
- 42:34Speaker 1: team right now already, which means what? We're going to
- 42:37Speaker 1: probably keep feeding him and or Hayden Hansen going forward.
- 42:42Speaker 1: Rocky Beers leads the team with eight catches, 114 yards.
- 42:46Speaker 1: Eight catches, 137 yards. 17 yards average. Trills right behind him,
- 42:51Speaker 1: six catches for 104. And the Satania is tied with
- 42:54Speaker 1: him with six catches, but he has 85 yards. So
- 42:58Speaker 1: your top receiver is a tight end, as we expected, right?
- 43:04Speaker 1: And we did have a tight end get a touchdown,
- 43:06Speaker 1: so that's always a plus. Do more of that. Mackenzie
- 43:09Speaker 1: Alleyne's going to do a really good job of being
- 43:11Speaker 1: a slot guy and just getting open in places. I
- 43:15Speaker 1: would like Parker Livingston to make up for that fumble
- 43:19Speaker 1: and score. But the thing is, if Ben Arbuckle just says,
- 43:24Speaker 1: throw the ball here and lob it here, throw it
- 43:28Speaker 1: to this spot, not to this player, to this spot,
- 43:31Speaker 1: to the player, go to this spot in a six count.
- 43:36Speaker 1: I don't see how that should be a problem. At all.
- 43:42Speaker 3: Run the damn ball.
- 43:44Speaker 1: I mean, that's always the next thing. Just run it.
- 43:47Speaker 3: Just run the damn ball because....
- 43:50Speaker 1: Running is always close.
- 43:51Speaker 3: I would also.
- 43:52Speaker 2: I would say when we do get back to throw
- 43:55Speaker 2: the ball, I've seen.
- 43:59Speaker 3: I think two of the catches that E.T. has were
- 44:01Speaker 3: back shoulder catches.
- 44:04Speaker 2: John, if you want to underthrow your receiver over on
- 44:08Speaker 2: the sideline, that's okay. Because I really do think that
- 44:12Speaker 2: we need to get some stuff on film because those
- 44:15Speaker 2: Georgia defensive backs are very good. And if you have
- 44:21Speaker 2: a couple more instances on film, and I don't care
- 44:24Speaker 2: which receiver it is, to where they're starting to see
- 44:28Speaker 2: and they want to maybe sit and try to pick
- 44:30Speaker 2: that back shoulder catch, then all of a sudden that's
- 44:33Speaker 2: a little wiggle and go. That's some stuff that Emmitt
- 44:36Speaker 2: Jones needs to be having conversations with the wide receivers
- 44:39Speaker 2: at because if they start sitting on a back shoulder throw,
- 44:43Speaker 2: then all of a sudden he just turns it upfield
- 44:45Speaker 2: and you're going to be open. So I want to
- 44:50Speaker 2: see that. I really do because I think that he
- 44:52Speaker 2: plays that ball really well.
- 44:55Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly that. besides that though sounds like Fasusi's on
- 45:00Speaker 1: track he probably won't he gonna play this week but
- 45:03Speaker 1: he'll be on track for next couple of weeks luckily
- 45:06Speaker 1: we have a bye week in between our two big
- 45:08Speaker 1: games I'm really curious to see is on the left
- 45:13Speaker 1: if we're probably gonna keep Fosuje out there for this
- 45:17Speaker 1: game but if we transition him to the right when
- 45:22Speaker 1: Fasusi makes his return which I think makes the most
- 45:25Speaker 1: sense at this point. But outside of that, defense-wise, though,
- 45:32Speaker 1: I need to see the defense be very disruptive. They
- 45:37Speaker 1: were tearing up that Michigan line. The problem was Michigan
- 45:43Speaker 1: was getting rid of the ball pretty fast. A couple
- 45:46Speaker 1: of times where they didn't, they switched into Max Protect,
- 45:50Speaker 1: and Underwood would just throw it up. I mean, he
- 45:54Speaker 1: was 9 for 17 in the game, so he wasn't
- 45:56Speaker 1: that good at throwing it. So you achieve what you
- 45:59Speaker 1: want it to. Again, you're 20th in the country in
- 46:03Speaker 1: yards per game after two games, which is actually pretty
- 46:07Speaker 1: good when a lot of the teams ahead of you
- 46:10Speaker 1: played two cupcakes and they were able to dominate. You
- 46:14Speaker 1: did well there. You've got to force, especially a New
- 46:21Speaker 1: Mexico team that doesn't throw the ball much or well. Again,
- 46:26Speaker 1: they're starting quarterbacks out. So they're kind of making it happen.
- 46:31Speaker 1: Their quarterbacks so far this season have thrown for 332
- 46:33Speaker 1: yards combined. Luke Moga, 17 for 26, 198 yards. And
- 46:35Speaker 1: then Toa Faave is seven for 17, 134. And Luke Moga,
- 46:39Speaker 1: for perspective, in that second game, he was four for nine.
- 46:56Speaker 1: He did his best against Central Michigan in that win,
- 46:58Speaker 1: but he was four for nine in the second game.
- 47:01Speaker 1: They're not really throwing the ball if they don't have to.
- 47:02Speaker 1: They want to hand the ball off. That's what he
- 47:07Speaker 1: wants to do.
- 47:09Speaker 2: But even though you made the comment that they don't
- 47:12Speaker 2: run the ball very well, based off of what you've
- 47:14Speaker 2: seen against OU's defense through two games, I would expect
- 47:18Speaker 2: that they at least double the running from the quarterback
- 47:23Speaker 2: to what they've done up to this point.
- 47:26Speaker 3: That's what they're going to do.
- 47:28Speaker 2: They're going to– it's the same on both of them.
- 47:33Speaker 2: You absolutely are going to see them just try to frustrate.
- 47:38Speaker 2: You don't want to– no deep steps. We talked about
- 47:42Speaker 2: that with Underwood. We thought he was going to get
- 47:45Speaker 2: the ball out quickly. They're not going to have a
- 47:47Speaker 2: lot of plays where you allow the defense or the
- 47:50Speaker 2: ends to crash down. So how do you disrupt that?
- 47:55Speaker 2: We need to see a little bit more out of
- 47:57Speaker 2: the guys in the middle. I think David Stone's seeing
- 48:00Speaker 2: double and triple teams a lot. And Jaden Jackson, he's
- 48:07Speaker 2: been pretty disruptive. But what was hard with Underwood is
- 48:10Speaker 2: he wasn't scrambling around right in the middle of the pocket.
- 48:13Speaker 2: He was going everywhere left and right. They were switching
- 48:16Speaker 2: it up pretty quickly. And any time they felt like
- 48:18Speaker 2: we were getting a beat on something, they switched it up.
- 48:21Speaker 2: Which a lot of coaching doesn't happen.
- 48:23Speaker 3: But... It's not like Michigan has a shitty coach.
- 48:25Speaker 2: I mean, he's a good coach, and he's got nothing
- 48:28Speaker 2: to lose, so he's going to do whatever he wants
- 48:30Speaker 2: and feels good. He knew that he needed to muddy
- 48:33Speaker 2: up that game and just get it to the end.
- 48:37Speaker 3: That's how they've got.
- 48:37Speaker 1: Both of their wins, and that's what New Mexico is
- 48:42Speaker 1: going to do.
- 48:42Speaker 2: We are going to need guys rushing up the field.
- 48:47Speaker 2: Don't over-pursue, but these offensive linemen aren't guys that should
- 48:53Speaker 2: be able to stand up against anything that's out there. Right.
- 48:57Speaker 1: That's it. So, you're out here going up against a
- 49:06Speaker 1: team this week that their entire goal is to use
- 49:11Speaker 1: as much trickery as possible to get some gains. This is,
- 49:14Speaker 1: don't get it twisted, this is very much a.
- 49:20Speaker 1: Practice for them as well they don't think that they're
- 49:28Speaker 1: gonna win they do think that they're gonna make this
- 49:31Speaker 1: as competitive as possible so they can try to steal
- 49:33Speaker 1: a win Like, for real. Like, New Mexico is in
- 49:37Speaker 1: that mindset. Their biggest challenge is they don't have their quarterback,
- 49:40Speaker 1: the one that they've been training with the most. So
- 49:44Speaker 1: they're going to muddy it up. They're going to practice
- 49:46Speaker 1: all of the flips, all the stuff that trick plays, whatever.
- 49:55Speaker 1: Because all that stuff is going to help them as
- 49:59Speaker 1: the season progresses. They will be testing all that stuff out.
- 50:03Speaker 1: So for us, we're going to have to be prepared
- 50:04Speaker 1: for that. I was watching In the Weeds earlier, and
- 50:11Speaker 1: Gabe and Teddy were really talking about the twist that
- 50:15Speaker 1: they're going to do with the interior, some of the
- 50:20Speaker 1: quick plays they're going to run. You've got to be
- 50:22Speaker 1: prepared for that stuff. That's what's going to be most
- 50:25Speaker 1: important for you. They're going to try to make our
- 50:29Speaker 1: defense work. And they're probably going to find ways to
- 50:31Speaker 1: get rid of the ball quickly or run max protect
- 50:33Speaker 1: because that's the smart thing to do.
- 50:37Speaker 2: Well, and so the guys that I think that need
- 50:39Speaker 2: to be on their game for those types of things,
- 50:42Speaker 2: it's going to be the defense backs. It's going to
- 50:44Speaker 2: be the safeties because I expect you're probably going to
- 50:48Speaker 2: see a non-quarterback throw the ball at some point. I
- 50:52Speaker 2: think that you're going to see some kind of a
- 50:54Speaker 2: double reverse situation where that's, those are going to happen.
- 50:58Speaker 3: That's definitely going to happen.
- 51:00Speaker 2: Um, so if you are Cortland Guillory and you see
- 51:05Speaker 2: a pass, go out to the, uh, you know, go
- 51:08Speaker 2: out to the, uh, you know, like a tunnel screen
- 51:10Speaker 2: type of deal behind the line of scrimmage, be, be
- 51:14Speaker 2: looking out. Somebody, you need to have eyes on those
- 51:16Speaker 2: other receivers. Cause if they take off running down the field,
- 51:19Speaker 2: that's not what we, that's not, you know, that's going
- 51:21Speaker 2: to be what's frustrating is if you give up some boneheaded. Now, if,
- 51:25Speaker 2: Let's say that it's late in the game, something like
- 51:27Speaker 2: that happens, and that happens against, I don't know, maybe
- 51:32Speaker 2: Jacoby or something like that, even though Jacoby should know
- 51:34Speaker 2: better at this point. That's what I expect, or Tristan Haynes.
- 51:39Speaker 2: You need to play your position because the risk-reward on
- 51:44Speaker 2: overly pursuing, especially when you know you're going to flock
- 51:47Speaker 2: on the defensive side, the risk is just too great
- 51:51Speaker 2: to lose contact of somebody running off downfield. Right.
- 51:57Speaker 1: That's it. That's it. I want to see the secondary
- 52:04Speaker 1: do more than just bat down passes. I need some
- 52:10Speaker 1: cuffs in this game. I need to see some lockdown
- 52:15Speaker 1: on these corners. Can we do that? Do you believe
- 52:18Speaker 1: we have the capabilities of doing that?
- 52:23Speaker 3: I mean.
- 52:23Speaker 1: No, I asked that in office business.
- 52:25Speaker 3: There is not.
- 52:30Speaker 2: A lot of offensive firepower coming from the quarterback receiver side.
- 52:37Speaker 2: It's going to be– you're going to see an off-thrown
- 52:41Speaker 2: ball at some point. And most of those things are
- 52:44Speaker 2: going to happen during the zone. Because, I mean, obviously
- 52:50Speaker 2: if you're doing any type of man coverage– You know,
- 52:53Speaker 2: our corners are going to be able to run with
- 52:55Speaker 2: pretty much any receiver that there is out there in
- 52:58Speaker 2: just a pure man coverage. You know, that's where you
- 53:02Speaker 2: continue disruption. And if Stone is getting double teamed and
- 53:06Speaker 2: he's taking up two people and Jaden Jackson's getting chipped and,
- 53:09Speaker 2: you know, Taylor Wine's getting chipped off the edge of
- 53:12Speaker 2: the line, that means somebody is going to be there
- 53:16Speaker 2: with some freedom.
- 53:17Speaker 3: So don't. Just play how you have been. Just play
- 53:23Speaker 3: how you have been.
- 53:24Speaker 1: That's it. That's all you got to do. Just play
- 53:26Speaker 1: how you have. That's it. All right. Let's look at
- 53:33Speaker 1: some of these games from SEC. We've got a good
- 53:38Speaker 1: weekend of football that we're going to enjoy. Thank you

- 53:48Speaker 1: Here's the slate, Coop. Of course, we've got New Mexico
- 53:52Speaker 1: to start the game. We're 21 and a half point
- 53:55Speaker 1: favorite based upon what ESPN has right now. Tennessee is
- 53:59Speaker 1: 35 and a half point favorite against Kennesaw State. They
- 54:02Speaker 1: beat Georgia Tech last week in a very strong fashion.
- 54:05Speaker 1: Shout out to them. That was a really good game
- 54:08Speaker 1: by them. I ask you, Coop, Georgia, Arkansas. Georgia goes
- 54:16Speaker 1: to Fayetteville. They're at 24 and a half point favorites.
- 54:19Speaker 1: How badly do they beat Arkansas this week?
- 54:25Speaker 2: So if you look at the 20, let's just, I'm
- 54:28Speaker 2: not going to do fractions and decimals here.
- 54:30Speaker 3: So let's just go to 25. No, 25 points.
- 54:32Speaker 1: I heard that's what you were good at.
- 54:35Speaker 3: My degrees in accounting.
- 54:37Speaker 1: Right, numbers.
- 54:38Speaker 3: What are we doing here?
- 54:40Speaker 2: So, but I would say this is the total at 54.
- 54:45Speaker 2: So essentially they're saying Arkansas is not scoring. Georgia is
- 54:48Speaker 2: going to score a lot. I mean, if you're Arkansas,
- 54:53Speaker 2: what is success in this game? And I think that
- 54:58Speaker 2: that's a hard, you know, because, again, this is the
- 55:00Speaker 2: same thing that New Mexico is talking about, you know,
- 55:02Speaker 2: with their coaching staff right now. It was the same
- 55:05Speaker 2: thing that Oklahoma State was talking about against Oregon. It is,
- 55:09Speaker 2: all right, guys, if we do, we trust the training,
- 55:12Speaker 2: we trust the coaching, we trust the reps during summer,
- 55:15Speaker 2: we trust the reps during spring. What does success look
- 55:20Speaker 2: like for Arkansas? I think that you want three scoring
- 55:23Speaker 2: drives at some point in the game, whether it's field
- 55:27Speaker 2: goals or touchdowns, you want three scoring drives, and you
- 55:31Speaker 2: want to limit the explosive plays by Georgia. Now, fun fact,
- 55:38Speaker 2: Georgia has an AI machine that creates tight ends the
- 55:42Speaker 2: way that they're supposed to be built. Their tight ends
- 55:46Speaker 2: are going to go crazy this game. I don't have
- 55:49Speaker 2: any doubt on that. And you're going to have– if
- 55:51Speaker 2: you're Arkansas, you're going to have to pick the poison.
- 55:53Speaker 2: It's either doubling and clogging the field for those tight
- 55:58Speaker 2: ends or it's supporting in the run. I mean, I
- 56:05Speaker 2: see the Georgia covering and I see the Georgia– the
- 56:08Speaker 2: total probably on the over.
- 56:09Speaker 3: I just don't think Arkansas can do it.
- 56:13Speaker 1: It's a big number, man. That's a big number for Arkansas. Yeah,
- 56:18Speaker 1: I don't see it either. All right. Yeah, I think Georgia.
- 56:22Speaker 1: I drew Georgia 30-0. Feels like they're going to do
- 56:24Speaker 1: what they can do to get out of there. Vanderbilt,
- 56:32Speaker 1: North Carolina State. Vandy's a three-point favorite, which means they
- 56:38Speaker 1: would be a... Six-point favorite. No, no, they're at home, right?
- 56:42Speaker 1: This is not neutral site? Good, it's not neutral site.
- 56:44Speaker 1: So it will be a pick'em and a neutral site.
- 56:48Speaker 1: Not bad. They're actually... They think they're about even. Jarrett Curtis,
- 56:53Speaker 1: true freshman quarterback, is going to start in this game.
- 56:58Speaker 3: We knew it was coming.
- 57:00Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, at some point. Yeah, you know, Blaze, shout
- 57:04Speaker 1: out to you, man. You did well. But, yeah, I
- 57:05Speaker 1: expected that. But, no, I think... Vanderbilt should win this game.
- 57:12Speaker 1: It should be close, but I think Vanderbilt should win
- 57:14Speaker 1: this game. 50 and a half feels like a high number,
- 57:17Speaker 1: especially with a true freshman quarterback. But if he does enough,
- 57:23Speaker 1: 27-24 feels like a safe number covering that over under
- 57:28Speaker 1: at 50 and a half.
- 57:32Speaker 2: You know, NC State played Virginia week one. Virginia lost quarterback, Trell.
- 57:38Speaker 2: They lost some good players off that team. They went
- 57:43Speaker 2: on to beat Norfolk State 59-3. So it looks like
- 57:46Speaker 2: Virginia is getting West Virginia this week. So that's going
- 57:49Speaker 2: to be a little bit more of a test for them.
- 57:50Speaker 2: But NC State really got overwhelmed. So, you know, typically
- 57:55Speaker 2: you think about the old school NC State. It was
- 57:58Speaker 2: going to be kind of a spread offense. They're going
- 58:00Speaker 2: to be really good at scoring. You know, they lost
- 58:02Speaker 2: Smothers to Texas. I'm wondering if that SEC defense from
- 58:10Speaker 2: Vanderbilt will just be another overwhelming week for NC State. So,
- 58:13Speaker 2: I mean, I think I see Vandy, you know, probably
- 58:17Speaker 2: getting this into the 7-10 point victory. I wonder what
- 58:21Speaker 2: the game plan is going to look like for the
- 58:26Speaker 2: freshman Curtis because it's not like Vandy lost a game
- 58:31Speaker 2: and you went away from the older guy. But at
- 58:35Speaker 2: the same time, you know the ceiling is going to
- 58:38Speaker 2: be there. So there's going to be some mistakes that
- 58:41Speaker 2: are going to happen with Curtis. But how do you
- 58:43Speaker 2: limit those mistakes with a young quarterback?
- 58:45Speaker 3: A good run game.
- 58:47Speaker 2: Some good outlets with your running backs and your, your
- 58:49Speaker 2: tight ends. And so, I mean, I think Vandy's probably
- 58:52Speaker 2: going to go out there and it's probably going to
- 58:55Speaker 2: be a game that they have a, you know, a
- 58:57Speaker 2: somewhat comfortable lead throughout the whole game.
- 59:00Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good, that's true. Good point. I think,
- 59:09Speaker 1: I think that Vandy's, pulls this one out. I do like,
- 59:13Speaker 1: NC State got destroyed by Virginia. And what made it
- 59:18Speaker 1: so bad is that you knew Virginia's game plan. Run
- 59:22Speaker 1: Bo Pribula. That's literally what the game plan was. We're
- 59:26Speaker 1: going to run him and we're going to throw sometimes.
- 59:27Speaker 1: We're going to run him a lot. And the coach
- 59:30Speaker 1: for NC State's like, well, we didn't realize he was
- 59:32Speaker 1: going to run as much. It was like, dude, everybody
- 59:34Speaker 1: and their mom in the world knew they're going to
- 59:36Speaker 1: run the ball with Bo Pribula because that's what he's
- 59:38Speaker 1: really good at. He can throw enough, but he's going
- 59:40Speaker 1: to run it a lot. He ran a lot. And
- 59:45Speaker 1: they destroyed him. Vanderbilt should be able to pull that off. Kentucky,
- 59:48Speaker 1: Texas A & M. Can Kentucky bounce back from falling
- 59:53Speaker 1: apart against Alabama after the first half? I don't think so.
- 59:57Speaker 1: I think A & M blows them out. And I
- 59:59Speaker 1: think that the excitement we had for Kentucky to start
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: the year, I think it's gone. I think that they're
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: just going to be falling to the bottom of the
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: barrel at this point.
- 1:00:17Speaker 2: I'm starting to hear a lot of people talk about
- 1:00:19Speaker 2: how they've never liked Will Stein. And you watch what
- 1:00:24Speaker 2: Oregon has done to this point, you know, obviously you
- 1:00:27Speaker 2: lose your offense coordinator, you lose your defensive coordinator.
- 1:00:30Speaker 3: Um, that's, that's, that's a hard turnaround. It's at home.
- 1:00:36Speaker 3: It's at Kyle field.
- 1:00:37Speaker 2: I just, I, I, you know, if, if Kentucky has
- 1:00:41Speaker 2: it close at halftime, I think that A & M
- 1:00:44Speaker 2: runs away from them literally at the, in the second half. Uh,
- 1:00:48Speaker 2: but yeah, no, I just, Kentucky is going to, they're, they're,
- 1:00:51Speaker 2: they're going to be on the struggle bus after this week. And,
- 1:00:54Speaker 2: I don't know where it gets a lot easier for them.
- 1:00:57Speaker 2: I think Texas A & M probably is.
- 1:01:02Speaker 3: Up there quite a bit.
- 1:01:03Speaker 2: The great equalizer when you're talking about Texas A &
- 1:01:06Speaker 2: M is, is this a game where Marcel Reed goes
- 1:01:09Speaker 2: out and just plays with house money the whole time
- 1:01:12Speaker 2: because he doesn't feel like there's a chance to lose,
- 1:01:15Speaker 2: or does he have boneheaded plays? If you'd have told
- 1:01:18Speaker 2: me that South Carolina kept it close with A &
- 1:01:20Speaker 2: M last year, I would probably did laugh in people's faces.
- 1:01:25Speaker 2: And then Marcel Reed had one of them games. So
- 1:01:28Speaker 2: I think they're going to want to get– they're going
- 1:01:30Speaker 2: to want to get Terry Bussey going crazy and then,
- 1:01:33Speaker 2: you know, just run the ball like crazy too.
- 1:01:34Speaker 3: So it's not going to be a close.
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: It won't be. It probably won't be at all. Alabama,
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: Florida State. That's a funny one for me because that
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: was why I said Kentucky could have been a– A trap?
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: Because Alabama's preparing for the Florida State game. Now, I understand.
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: I get it. You ain't got to even say it
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: in the comments. We all know that Florida State stinks.
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: But Alabama lost to them last year and they stunk
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: last year too. And so you know they were thinking
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: about that the entire time. Like, oh, we do not
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: want this to happen. Again. And guess what? They're coming up.
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: That was the focus. First half of the game against Kentucky.
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: Kentucky almost pulled something off. The MMS said, nah, turn
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: it on. We good. We got this. They might beat
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: them dudes by 30. They may try to beat them
- 1:02:34Speaker 1: dudes by 30. I don't know if Alabama covers that spread.
- 1:02:43Speaker 2: I saw some youth out of Keelan Russell last week.
- 1:02:46Speaker 2: And then I saw the ceiling. That's what you're going
- 1:02:49Speaker 2: to be fighting with with a young quarterback. You're going
- 1:02:52Speaker 2: to see some ceiling, and you're going to see some youth.
- 1:02:57Speaker 2: I think this might be where the donors are having
- 1:03:02Speaker 2: a meeting on Saturday night and talking a buyout. I
- 1:03:07Speaker 2: still think that Alabama is going to win this game
- 1:03:11Speaker 2: one way or the other. They're either going to blow
- 1:03:13Speaker 2: the socks off of Florida State, and that donors meeting
- 1:03:16Speaker 2: is going to be happening around 4 p.m., Or if
- 1:03:20Speaker 2: Alabama does get some drops from Ryan Williams, some youth
- 1:03:26Speaker 2: from Keelan Russell, and then they still end up losing
- 1:03:30Speaker 2: by 17 to 20 points, I think that would be
- 1:03:33Speaker 2: a much more crushing defeat for them to think that, man,
- 1:03:37Speaker 2: if we just had a functional team, we could have
- 1:03:39Speaker 2: won that game. But listen, that quarterback is not going
- 1:03:46Speaker 2: to do anything to write home about.
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: Probably not. I don't think so either. The game that
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: I want to watch.
- 1:03:56Speaker 3: Yes.
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: South Carolina, Mississippi state. That's going to be a fun game.
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: It's early. So I'll be on my couch watching that
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: at William Bryce, but Camario Taylor going up against Lenore sellers.
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: Somehow South Carolina is a four point favorite. I wouldn't
- 1:04:22Speaker 1: guess this.
- 1:04:24Speaker 2: Is this a situation where people have not... They haven't
- 1:04:28Speaker 2: bought into Camario Taylor? Because, listen, the Glaze Fest for
- 1:04:31Speaker 2: Taylor on the socials has been pretty impressive.
- 1:04:36Speaker 3: But this is a team. And there has been a very, very... There...
- 1:04:49Speaker 3: I'm trying to say this appropriately.
- 1:04:51Speaker 2: There's been a very, very real possibility that Kamaru Taylor
- 1:04:56Speaker 2: has got some fool's gold with some of these weaker teams.
- 1:04:59Speaker 2: He looks beautiful when he's throwing the ball. But we've
- 1:05:02Speaker 2: seen this a lot where guys look really, really good
- 1:05:04Speaker 2: and they come into SEC play and all of a
- 1:05:06Speaker 2: sudden things aren't as easy and they start pressing. So
- 1:05:10Speaker 2: can Jeff Lebby continue this offense? I'm going to trust
- 1:05:12Speaker 2: in Jeff Lebby's offense. But now how does Arnett's defense
- 1:05:16Speaker 2: handle Lenora Sellers, and does Lenora Sellers feel in his
- 1:05:21Speaker 2: heart that he can get back to what he was
- 1:05:23Speaker 2: two years ago? Because South Carolina has looked pretty decent.
- 1:05:27Speaker 2: So I expect this total. I want to say I'm
- 1:05:33Speaker 2: going to go with under on the total. Maybe a very,
- 1:05:36Speaker 2: very tight, low-scoring game in the first half, and then
- 1:05:39Speaker 2: all of a sudden some floodgates in the second half. But, yeah,
- 1:05:42Speaker 2: I mean, if you told me that it went 27-24– Sure.
- 1:05:49Speaker 2: If you told me it went like 21-17, I could
- 1:05:52Speaker 2: see that too. This is going to be– it's going
- 1:05:54Speaker 2: to be– because, again, playing the week competition, we've seen
- 1:05:57Speaker 2: a lot of good quarterbacks look really, really good.
- 1:06:00Speaker 3: It's almost like NFL preseason.
- 1:06:01Speaker 2: I remember one year where Sam Bradford's first year on
- 1:06:04Speaker 2: the Eagles and he had DeMarco Murray. And I want
- 1:06:06Speaker 2: to say that Sam Bradford in a preseason game went
- 1:06:08Speaker 2: like 14 for 14 for like 275 yards and four touchdowns.
- 1:06:12Speaker 2: And I thought, good God, this is going to be beautiful.
- 1:06:16Speaker 2: And he was not on the team by the end
- 1:06:18Speaker 2: of the year.
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: Nope. Yeah. This is going to be really good. I
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: will be on the couch watching this one because I
- 1:06:25Speaker 1: really want to see what Kamario Taylor can put together.
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: And if he pulls this off, this could be the
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: beginning of the end of the Shane Beamer era. Now,
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: this is where I get upset with the SEC because
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: I totally understand in some capacities you got to do
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: what you got to do. But Yeah, this is rude.
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: First off, Florida and Auburn, the new coach game is
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: at 6 o'clock. 6.30 is LSU Ole Miss, which we're
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: going to talk about that extensively. And we play at 6.30. So, like,
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: why y'all do us like that? Florida, Auburn, us, and
- 1:07:14Speaker 1: LSU Ole Miss at the same time? You should have moved,
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: to me, Florida Auburn should have been right around Mississippi State,
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: South Carolina.
- 1:07:26Speaker 3: It's 2.30, 3 o'clock kickoff, yeah.
- 1:07:28Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:07:29Speaker 1: Or at least a 5 o'clock kick. Something, but dang.
- 1:07:33Speaker 1: You're going to put it all at the same time?
- 1:07:36Speaker 1: I am excited to see which one of these new
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: coaches pull this off, and I am very shocked that
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: Florida's a favorite. I would not have guessed that.
- 1:07:48Speaker 3: See, I think of it the other way.
- 1:07:50Speaker 2: I think I'm a little bit more of a believer
- 1:07:53Speaker 2: in Florida's athletes. Auburn's– I mean, listen, Auburn still has
- 1:08:01Speaker 2: got a pretty dirty defense. But, you know, the new
- 1:08:04Speaker 2: coaches are going to both be looking at their quarterbacks
- 1:08:06Speaker 2: and saying, all right, what are you going to give
- 1:08:08Speaker 2: me against your first big boy competition? And Auburn did
- 1:08:14Speaker 2: not look good week one. That's, you know, they– They
- 1:08:19Speaker 2: lucked out of that one. Unfortunately, I think that game's
- 1:08:23Speaker 2: going to be freaking boring. And if I had one
- 1:08:25Speaker 2: game that I didn't have to watch, it sure as
- 1:08:28Speaker 2: hell is. I would rather watch Troy, Missouri than watch
- 1:08:31Speaker 2: Florida-Auburn just because I feel there's going to be third
- 1:08:36Speaker 2: down conversion percentage, I feel like, on Florida-Auburn is going
- 1:08:39Speaker 2: to be an ugly statistic.
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: Yeah, it's going to be bad. It could be. It
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: could be better than we think, though.
- 1:08:49Speaker 2: If I'm the staff of Florida, Jordan Ball is running
- 1:08:52Speaker 2: the ball minimum 32 times.
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: Yeah, Jaden. Hand the ball Jaden. Non-stop. Hand the ball. Jaden,
- 1:08:57Speaker 1: just keep on going. Jaden, go. You go.
- 1:08:59Speaker 3: Here.
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: Here you go. Here you go. Let's go. Non-stop. He's
- 1:09:02Speaker 1: playing like the best back in the conference right now.
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: But LSU Ole Miss, though. Lane Kiffin goes back to
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: his ex. And things are going to get a little
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: bit dicey there.
- 1:09:18Speaker 2: I wanted to ask you a question about this game
- 1:09:22Speaker 2: is all the pressure on Ole Miss and all the
- 1:09:25Speaker 2: feels and emotions on Ole Miss. Cause I can promise
- 1:09:28Speaker 2: you one thing. Lane Kiffin is a crappy person and
- 1:09:32Speaker 2: I can, I mean, he's, he's not going to give
- 1:09:35Speaker 2: a damn. He is going to just go out there
- 1:09:38Speaker 2: and he's just want to let the team go crazy.
- 1:09:41Speaker 2: That being said, this nonsense with the, uh, you know,
- 1:09:45Speaker 2: with Sam Levitt, um, Nobody knows.
- 1:09:48Speaker 3: Is this guy healthy?
- 1:09:50Speaker 2: Is this, like, gamesmanship? You know, putting doubtful on there.
- 1:09:52Speaker 2: I think we talked about that, you know, on the
- 1:09:54Speaker 2: depth chart the past couple years. Can someone be listed
- 1:09:57Speaker 2: as doubtful and then all of a sudden listed as available, like,
- 1:10:00Speaker 2: the next day? I mean, unless you've got some holy
- 1:10:03Speaker 2: water and Jesus is walking around, I don't, you know,
- 1:10:05Speaker 2: I don't see how that's going to happen.
- 1:10:07Speaker 1: Glad you said that.
- 1:10:10Speaker 3: Are you looking up the?
- 1:10:10Speaker 1: I'm going to go see if they posted the latest one.
- 1:10:13Speaker 2: Because they had a– there was a fake one out
- 1:10:15Speaker 2: there that had like the top three quarterbacks were all doubtful.
- 1:10:19Speaker 2: And somebody was like, well, that's AI. And that's why
- 1:10:23Speaker 2: you don't– you're not quick to post things. But, yeah,
- 1:10:26Speaker 2: I just think– I mean, I think that's what it is.
- 1:10:27Speaker 2: I think all the pressure– Ole Miss has got all
- 1:10:29Speaker 2: the feels and all the emotions. And whether those emotions
- 1:10:33Speaker 2: are going to betray them or help them, I'm not
- 1:10:35Speaker 2: too sure. I just don't think that there's a lot
- 1:10:36Speaker 2: of it on the LSU sideline, especially since it's been
- 1:10:39Speaker 2: a gosh darn circus since about mid-October. for LSU since
- 1:10:44Speaker 2: last year. So I think that as far as the
- 1:10:46Speaker 2: emotions go, that's it. Now, Jay, I will say this,
- 1:10:49Speaker 2: and I said it after week one. I don't think
- 1:10:53Speaker 2: Sam Levitt can play the type of quarterback that he
- 1:10:55Speaker 2: played in week one and week two for a whole
- 1:10:58Speaker 2: SEC slate because it's going to lead straight to a
- 1:11:00Speaker 2: John Mateer type of a situation to where he ends
- 1:11:03Speaker 2: up with something that just doesn't go away because he's
- 1:11:06Speaker 2: an aggressive guy and he's going to play that way.
- 1:11:08Speaker 2: He's used his legs a ton. And so I'm wondering is.
- 1:11:15Speaker 3: He takes off running.
- 1:11:16Speaker 2: I mean, I think that Ole Miss defenders are going
- 1:11:18Speaker 2: to make him pay, and I think that Pete Golding
- 1:11:22Speaker 2: is not going to tell anybody to take a late
- 1:11:24Speaker 2: hit or anything, but Sam Levitt's going to give up
- 1:11:28Speaker 2: at the very last second, and there's going to be
- 1:11:29Speaker 2: a lot of borderline calls, and I just hope that
- 1:11:31Speaker 2: the officiating isn't overly jumpy for some of this aggressive
- 1:11:37Speaker 2: stuff to happen.
- 1:11:38Speaker 3: Let it play.
- 1:11:38Speaker 2: If it turns into a situation, deal with it then.
- 1:11:41Speaker 2: Don't make it a situation before the ball is kicked off.
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: So Sam Leavitt is now questionable, so he's improved.
- 1:11:49Speaker 3: Moving on up.
- 1:11:50Speaker 1: So he will move up to probable on Friday at 7,
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: 10 p.m. when they make that one, and that will
- 1:11:56Speaker 1: be the last one before the game, and he'll be available.
- 1:12:01Speaker 1: He'll be off the list. Because you can go from
- 1:12:03Speaker 1: questionable to available immediately. You can't go from doubtful. It's
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: where that gamesmanship stuff. He is now questionable, though, so
- 1:12:11Speaker 1: that means that he will move up. The latter on that.
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: I was wondering if that was going to happen, and
- 1:12:15Speaker 1: here we are. It happened exactly as we thought it would.
- 1:12:19Speaker 1: I want Ole Miss to win this game, man. Give
- 1:12:23Speaker 1: me that upset. I love it's a top 10 matchup.
- 1:12:25Speaker 1: Give me that upset.
- 1:12:28Speaker 3: I don't know if there's anybody outside of Louisiana that
- 1:12:30Speaker 3: wants LSU to lose.
- 1:12:32Speaker 2: I mean, this is for all the nonsense that we
- 1:12:35Speaker 2: heard before our game last week. You know, Texas Tech,
- 1:12:41Speaker 2: was the bad guy all offseason, and now they look underwhelming.
- 1:12:46Speaker 2: Michigan typically does their stuff, but Lane Kiffin and the
- 1:12:51Speaker 2: nonsense with the SEC, there's going to be a lot
- 1:12:54Speaker 2: about that out there. I think every single person in
- 1:12:57Speaker 2: the country is going to be rooting for Ole Miss.
- 1:13:01Speaker 2: Can they make it good? Like I said, Lane Kiffin,
- 1:13:08Speaker 2: I don't think that he is the top-tier coach that
- 1:13:11Speaker 2: a lot of other people do, but I sure as
- 1:13:14Speaker 2: hell don't believe in Pete Golden. So, you know, I
- 1:13:17Speaker 2: give the coaching advantage on the LSU side.
- 1:13:21Speaker 1: He said, Pete Golden, who? Coop doesn't believe yet. I
- 1:13:25Speaker 1: totally understand, though.
- 1:13:28Speaker 2: It would be like, I really do think this. I
- 1:13:33Speaker 2: think it would be like Alex Grinch taking over the
- 1:13:37Speaker 2: head coaching job at, like, auburn and then us playing
- 1:13:40Speaker 2: him like everybody at auburn would be like surely i
- 1:13:44Speaker 2: hope that this is going to work out for us
- 1:13:46Speaker 2: but every single sooner fan would be like this is
- 1:13:48Speaker 2: a joke probably every usc fan too no.
- 1:13:52Speaker 1: That's true that is very true interesting there all right.
- 1:14:00Speaker 2: Good point uh who said that benji said it he
- 1:14:02Speaker 2: says trust trinidad more than levitt I think that's the matchup.
- 1:14:07Speaker 3: Obviously, the quarterbacks don't ever play each other.
- 1:14:09Speaker 2: Peyton Manning never had anything to do with what Tom
- 1:14:14Speaker 2: Brady did and vice versa. But I think that if
- 1:14:17Speaker 2: you're looking at the quarterbacks, there's a lot to say
- 1:14:21Speaker 2: about that.
- 1:14:22Speaker 3: That could be a mismatch.
- 1:14:24Speaker 1: Yeah, it could be. It really could. Man. Well, we
- 1:14:29Speaker 1: got a good slate. It's going to be fun. We'll
- 1:14:33Speaker 1: be here, of course, on Sunday after the game like
- 1:14:35Speaker 1: we always are. I'll be live right after the game.
- 1:14:38Speaker 1: I get back home early enough to Saturday morning to
- 1:14:42Speaker 1: where I'll be able to watch the game on my
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: couch and all of that stuff. So thank you all,
