- 1:15Speaker 1: happy Wednesday, my man. We're back. You've returned, man. How's
- 1:19Speaker 1: it going?
- 1:21Speaker 2: I'm going good, obviously. I'm excited to share.
- 1:24Speaker 3: Let's see, how many days has it been? So it's
- 1:28Speaker 3: four days of kind of tempered frustrations and everything. So
- 1:33Speaker 3: we can relive it together if you want to. Uh, but, uh,
- 1:37Speaker 3: outside of that, um, and it's, it's a good day.
- 1:41Speaker 2: It's a good day. It's been some tough parts, been
- 1:43Speaker 2: some great parts, you know?
- 1:46Speaker 1: Yeah, it's, it's, it's been a, uh, year and it's
- 1:49Speaker 1: funny because it appears that everyone has already put the
- 1:53Speaker 1: fork in us and said, we're done four games into
- 1:56Speaker 1: the season. And I totally understand it because until we
- 2:01Speaker 1: see something change, see some differences, uh, It's not going
- 2:04Speaker 1: to really help us, you know, feel confident or, yeah,
- 2:09Speaker 1: confident in what's going on. Just saw, like, the statistics
- 2:12Speaker 1: for the season. Top passing defense in the country in
- 2:16Speaker 1: the SEC. Top passing defense in the SEC belongs to who?
- 2:20Speaker 2: Us.
- 2:21Speaker 1: Run defense, middle of the pack. But pass defense, we're
- 2:25Speaker 1: in the top. We're, like, number three in the country
- 2:28Speaker 1: in total defense. Efficiency, we're, like, a freaking top ten
- 2:32Speaker 1: team again. Yeah, all the stuff that you needed your
- 2:40Speaker 1: quarterback to be better at to make sure that you're
- 2:43Speaker 1: good to go, you're not getting. But the defense is
- 2:47Speaker 1: definitely producing a better product in the past defense that
- 2:51Speaker 1: we were hoping for this season. And I don't think
- 2:54Speaker 1: those numbers will drop. I think that they should sharpen
- 2:56Speaker 1: up and get better. uh, better, but, happy Wednesday to
- 3:00Speaker 1: all of you. It's great to see you. Uh, first
- 3:02Speaker 1: and foremost, let's jump right to the most important thing
- 3:04Speaker 1: of the day. Um, Brent Venables basically confirmed exactly what
- 3:11Speaker 1: all y'all was thinking was going to come down. He
- 3:15Speaker 1: said that, um, John Mateer is the quarterback. He spoke
- 3:20Speaker 1: with the media to today after practice, I guess, uh,
- 3:26Speaker 1: Which is kind of weird. Side note, I just realized
- 3:28Speaker 1: that they don't have a fall break this year. That
- 3:31Speaker 1: is really weird. I was trying to figure out when
- 3:35Speaker 1: I was going to have my son at home to
- 3:37Speaker 1: do some work for me. And he ain't going to
- 3:39Speaker 1: be coming home.
- 3:40Speaker 2: Why?
- 3:40Speaker 1: Because he ain't got a fall break. But Brent talked
- 3:46Speaker 1: to the media. He said... spoke about the quarterbacks that
- 3:49Speaker 1: went new Bauer and Bo Bentley will continue to get reps.
- 3:52Speaker 1: And he said, point blank, have no idea if Bo
- 3:56Speaker 1: will see time against Texas right now. Johns are starting
- 4:00Speaker 1: quarterback coop. What are your thoughts?
- 4:05Speaker 2: Um, okay. So even this could be true. This could
- 4:11Speaker 2: be not true.
- 4:12Speaker 3: Um, I think that what are you accomplishing by saying
- 4:16Speaker 3: this if you're Brett? Number one, you're saying you're instilling confidence.
- 4:22Speaker 3: You're kind of trying to speak into existence for John,
- 4:27Speaker 3: which I don't know. It's the definition of crazy if
- 4:32Speaker 3: you keep on doing the same thing and expect a
- 4:34Speaker 3: different result.
- 4:34Speaker 1: Different insanity. Albert Einstein said that. Yeah.
- 4:38Speaker 3: So there's that. Number two is gamesmanship, I'm assuming. Um,
- 4:44Speaker 3: that's what you expect him to say. If you're the
- 4:46Speaker 3: Texas coaching staff, you know, if you are, um, if
- 4:51Speaker 3: you're running wit or boat, I mean, listen, I like Bo,
- 4:55Speaker 3: I'm excited that he's on the team. Um, I'm pretty
- 4:58Speaker 3: sure he's not ready yet. So if you're looking for,
- 5:02Speaker 3: if you're looking for Bo to hop in there and
- 5:04Speaker 3: give us a little like freshman phenom type of a scenario,
- 5:07Speaker 3: like I just don't expect that to happen. Um, we
- 5:11Speaker 3: have seen some, um, some ability to sling the ball
- 5:15Speaker 3: from wit. Um, but at the same time, uh, it's,
- 5:18Speaker 3: it's highlight reels from the Oklahoma media team during fall practice.
- 5:23Speaker 3: So you're going to say this, if you're Brent, you're
- 5:26Speaker 3: not going to go out there and say, Oh, well,
- 5:28Speaker 3: you know, uh, we're actually starting all three guys because
- 5:31Speaker 3: it like, you're just not going to say that.
- 5:34Speaker 2: Or if you're doing, Hey, we're doing one-on-ones. You're not
- 5:38Speaker 2: going to say that.
- 5:38Speaker 3: Like, Brent Venables is not concerned about the very, very
- 5:42Speaker 3: vocal minority of people who want him gone. He's not
- 5:46Speaker 3: going to say anything to satiate everybody who wants John benched.
- 5:50Speaker 3: He is going to say what's best for the team.
- 5:54Speaker 3: And if they can just somehow continue to try to
- 5:59Speaker 3: unlock something, they're going to keep doing it. But, I mean,
- 6:03Speaker 3: we still have... 10 days till the game. So it's
- 6:06Speaker 3: not like anything groundbreaking needs to be announced at this moment.
- 6:10Speaker 1: I'm with you on that. Yeah. Drop your questions in
- 6:15Speaker 1: the comments. We'll definitely address them here a little bit
- 6:17Speaker 1: later in the video, like we always do. But yeah, I'm,
- 6:21Speaker 1: I'm very curious to see what, how this all unfolds
- 6:27Speaker 1: over the next two weeks. I saw Peyton Bowen was
- 6:30Speaker 1: talking about his boy. Cause you talk about his boy, John.
- 6:33Speaker 1: And he mentioned that they need to get his swagger back.
- 6:35Speaker 1: That's what their focus is. And, I mean, if he's
- 6:39Speaker 1: the starting quarterback, yeah. Do what y'all got to do
- 6:41Speaker 1: to figure out how to make this dude feel better
- 6:44Speaker 1: about making his decisions. I just need him to throw
- 6:47Speaker 1: the ball. I mean, Texas defensive line is better than Georgia's. Secondary,
- 6:52Speaker 1: not so much. But, yeah, because I think Georgia has
- 6:55Speaker 1: a top three to five secondary in the country.
- 7:00Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 7:01Speaker 1: Them and Bama I think their secondaries are really good
- 7:03Speaker 1: but Georgia's really really good especially linebackers they have the
- 7:06Speaker 1: best linebackers in the country period I don't care about
- 7:08Speaker 1: Ohio State Notre Dame etc Georgia's got the best linebackers
- 7:12Speaker 1: but besides that point Texas defensive line is going to
- 7:15Speaker 1: be coming after him he's going to have to be
- 7:18Speaker 1: prepared to feel comfortable in the pocket just keep looking
- 7:21Speaker 1: downfield and throw the ball or if he sees a
- 7:24Speaker 1: large enough gap he runs it but at the same
- 7:27Speaker 1: time similar to what georgia did everybody's gonna load the
- 7:29Speaker 1: box i'm gonna put seven eight dudes in the box
- 7:32Speaker 1: and say sure beat us by throwing it layered granted
- 7:36Speaker 1: we've seen you throw layered passes and you've completed a
- 7:39Speaker 1: lot of passes layered and statistically your percentage is actually
- 7:43Speaker 1: better this year than last you're gonna have to keep
- 7:45Speaker 1: doing it you're gonna keep proving it over and over
- 7:48Speaker 1: and unfortunately for us we're just gonna have to sit
- 7:51Speaker 1: there and continue to hold a breath and uh take
- 7:53Speaker 1: some blood pressure pills Every game, I know I have
- 7:56Speaker 1: mine on for the OU Texas game. I'm going to
- 7:59Speaker 1: go pick me up a prescription. I don't know where. Actually,
- 8:01Speaker 1: I'm just going to drink a whole bunch of beetroot
- 8:06Speaker 1: juice or beet juice. Because blood pressure is going to
- 8:10Speaker 1: be high, man. We're going to be just stressed over...
- 8:15Speaker 1: how comfortable is this dude going to feel in this game?
- 8:18Speaker 1: And so I do like that everybody is backing him.
- 8:22Speaker 1: It's obvious that there isn't a turn in the locker
- 8:25Speaker 1: room yet. Like you would have, you felt it. With
- 8:30Speaker 1: the J.A. situation and Michael Hawkins. And unfortunately, Hawk was
- 8:34Speaker 1: not put in a good situation, and I'm going to
- 8:36Speaker 1: keep repeating this. I'm glad that he left. It's a
- 8:39Speaker 1: much better situation for him in playing. I don't know
- 8:43Speaker 1: if this would be better for him here. And he
- 8:46Speaker 1: looks more comfortable. Last game, not so much, but he
- 8:49Speaker 1: looks comfortable now. They got to figure out what to
- 8:52Speaker 1: do about this John deal. If John didn't turn the
- 8:54Speaker 1: ball over, we're fine. The problem is he don't like
- 8:57Speaker 1: not giving the ball away to other people. Well, if
- 9:01Speaker 1: we cut that out, we're good.
- 9:02Speaker 2: You know, what's crazy is.
- 9:05Speaker 3: You are starting to see– it's always hard when, you know,
- 9:09Speaker 3: we play Alabama with Kyler Murray and you get down
- 9:12Speaker 3: 28-0 and then we– the revisionist history says, well, you know,
- 9:17Speaker 3: Kyler just ran out of time. Well, I'm pretty sure
- 9:21Speaker 3: that if you got the– Alabama team, you know, with
- 9:28Speaker 3: a foot on the gas because you don't go down
- 9:31Speaker 3: 28 to nothing or it's 20 to nothing or 14.
- 9:34Speaker 2: It just won't matter.
- 9:36Speaker 3: The point I'm trying to make here is, like, I
- 9:39Speaker 3: really don't. I think that you watch that game and
- 9:43Speaker 3: you're like, man, Oklahoma played good enough to win the
- 9:47Speaker 3: game and get blown out.
- 9:49Speaker 2: Like, that's what's crazy.
- 9:53Speaker 1: It makes me so mad.
- 9:55Speaker 3: You literally had situations like you were moving the ball
- 9:59Speaker 3: on three separate drives.
- 10:00Speaker 2: And then the turnover happens. It's horrid.
- 10:06Speaker 3: But at the same time, I'm not going to sit
- 10:08Speaker 3: here and say, well, here we go. I really feel
- 10:11Speaker 3: good about John going forward. I saw some good stuff
- 10:14Speaker 3: because Another fun saying, and I feel like one that
- 10:17Speaker 3: when we're talking about this offense, if somebody keeps on
- 10:19Speaker 3: trying to tell you who they are, listen to them.
- 10:23Speaker 2: Just listen to them, believe them. Okay.
- 10:26Speaker 3: So John is, you know, I've also heard the narrative.
- 10:29Speaker 3: John doesn't just make mistakes. He makes like catastrophic mistakes.
- 10:34Speaker 1: And it's Wiley coyote dog is literally like Acme. It's the,
- 10:37Speaker 1: it's the most creative ways to make a mistake.
- 10:41Speaker 3: It's, You know, somebody else also threw out, like, somebody's
- 10:46Speaker 3: going to investigate because John Mateer has to be gambling.
- 10:50Speaker 3: And I just thought, wouldn't it be funny for a
- 10:53Speaker 3: full circle situation where days before his first game as
- 10:57Speaker 3: a quarterback, that thing comes out about sports betting or
- 11:01Speaker 3: sports gambling or whatever, and to find out that that
- 11:04Speaker 3: was the case.
- 11:05Speaker 2: That's what it looked like.
- 11:06Speaker 3: I mean, you played so bad that that's what it
- 11:08Speaker 3: looked like.
- 11:09Speaker 2: And.
- 11:10Speaker 3: when you've been playing quarterback for a very, very long time,
- 11:14Speaker 3: for you to come out. Now, if this was like John,
- 11:16Speaker 3: if it was a Jaron Kanick situation where John played
- 11:20Speaker 3: safety and an H-back his entire career in high school,
- 11:23Speaker 3: and then they brought him here and was like, we're
- 11:25Speaker 3: going to make you a quarterback, and he looks like this,
- 11:27Speaker 3: I'd be like, well, of course. But he's played quarterback
- 11:30Speaker 3: for a very long time. I just think that John
- 11:32Speaker 3: has always been so far ahead of all the competition
- 11:38Speaker 3: that he's played. that he's gotten away with so many
- 11:42Speaker 3: different things. And I know that you've told your kids this,
- 11:46Speaker 3: and I told my kids, like, yeah, you're one of
- 11:48Speaker 3: the better players right now, but every single person who's
- 11:52Speaker 3: right behind you is working their ass off right now
- 11:54Speaker 3: trying to get better, and they will catch and pass
- 11:57Speaker 3: you because you're not going to be in a league
- 12:01Speaker 3: with 85 different soccer teams, you know, in three years.
- 12:05Speaker 3: You're going to be in a league with 15 different
- 12:08Speaker 3: soccer teams. teams, and they pulled all the best players
- 12:10Speaker 3: from those 85 teams. Well, now that's what John's seeing
- 12:13Speaker 3: in the SEC, is he can't get away with some
- 12:16Speaker 3: of the nonsense that he's gotten away with in the past.
- 12:19Speaker 2: And then, on top of it, he just has.
- 12:22Speaker 3: WTF moments that are just, I mean, it just sentences
- 12:29Speaker 3: him to whatever ending it's going to be.
- 12:32Speaker 2: So, again, we are upset. This is frustrating.
- 12:39Speaker 3: Um, to be told, you know, all year long that
- 12:42Speaker 3: this offensive line was getting better.
- 12:45Speaker 2: They were running.
- 12:45Speaker 3: We saw it in the spring game. We saw it in,
- 12:48Speaker 3: you know, week one obviously hurts. I mean, if a
- 12:51Speaker 3: Susie hurts a shoulder, you start mixing guys around and
- 12:54Speaker 3: we're back in the same, you know, wheels on the
- 12:57Speaker 3: bus crap that you've, uh, been on for the past
- 13:00Speaker 3: three years.
- 13:01Speaker 1: So The wheels on the bus go round and round
- 13:06Speaker 1: all over town. Yeah, that's what it feels like, man. It's, yeah.
- 13:14Speaker 1: We just, it's just the luck of the carousel of
- 13:19Speaker 1: dealing with unluckiness. on the offensive line, but it's also
- 13:24Speaker 1: just didn't feel like the, the, the toughness is there.
- 13:27Speaker 1: Like it was in 2023. It doesn't feel like the
- 13:29Speaker 1: Schmitty 20 was at, uh, they did 49 extra sit-ups
- 13:34Speaker 1: or whatever. And to, to, uh, after practice or whatever, to,
- 13:39Speaker 1: to get themselves stronger in the core. And then they
- 13:42Speaker 1: went out there and did what they did in 2023,
- 13:45Speaker 1: opening holes, making runs happen.
- 13:47Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 13:47Speaker 1: It doesn't feel like we're, we, we have that, uh,
- 13:52Speaker 1: level of intensity or care. Maybe we need Schmidty back.
- 13:57Speaker 1: Maybe we need him out there pushing these dudes to
- 14:01Speaker 1: work out harder. I don't know. It just feels like, yeah,
- 14:08Speaker 1: it just feels wild. Besides that, though, you're right. I
- 14:14Speaker 1: just need this guy to stop being creative with his turnovers.
- 14:17Speaker 1: And the players still believe in him. obviously BV and
- 14:23Speaker 1: Arbuckle of course does and it's obvious that BV and
- 14:26Speaker 1: Nagy and them still believe in Arbuckle that he can
- 14:29Speaker 1: figure something out but yeah and one of the questions
- 14:32Speaker 1: in here I'll go ahead and talk about it as
- 14:34Speaker 1: well is it does appear that we're going to go
- 14:37Speaker 1: full air raid we're going to go 100% into what
- 14:40Speaker 1: Ben Arbuckle came here to do instead of asking him
- 14:44Speaker 1: to do something that he's not accustomed to we're going
- 14:48Speaker 1: to say no you're going to do we're going to
- 14:50Speaker 1: do your thing Show us that you can win with
- 14:52Speaker 1: your thing. And if Georgia would have been an opportunity,
- 14:57Speaker 1: don't keep keeping it a buck. We were about to
- 15:00Speaker 1: be down 14-7 and that could have put a nice
- 15:03Speaker 1: little spark in the defense to keep the score down
- 15:07Speaker 1: and we could have been driving again, right? Like second quarter,
- 15:09Speaker 1: we had the ball for 12 minutes. They were making
- 15:12Speaker 1: some moves. They were figuring some things out. Wasn't perfect.
- 15:14Speaker 1: They were figuring some things out, but it'd been nice if.
- 15:18Speaker 1: We can do that consistently again. I mean, Michigan, you
- 15:23Speaker 1: had a quarter where you're just going, going, but that
- 15:25Speaker 1: was a different setup. You weren't even running a power
- 15:27Speaker 1: with a pro-style O. I would like for us to
- 15:31Speaker 1: find something that makes everybody comfortable and do it. Especially
- 15:34Speaker 1: the O-line, because they need the O-line to get the
- 15:36Speaker 1: run game back.
- 15:38Speaker 2: It's... I.
- 15:42Speaker 3: Listen, I've always been one that says, like, let's not
- 15:45Speaker 3: start calling for people's jobs, but the run game has
- 15:49Speaker 3: had significant drop-off for four straight years. And, you know,
- 15:55Speaker 3: it started in the last– in BB's first season in
- 15:58Speaker 3: the Big 12. Like, you couldn't really do much there.
- 16:04Speaker 3: And now– But you had a thousand-yard rusher.
- 16:07Speaker 2: You did.
- 16:08Speaker 1: You did.
- 16:08Speaker 3: I just don't– first and foremost– let's quit shuffling a
- 16:16Speaker 3: dude in fojay around fojay's banged up you're not hearing
- 16:21Speaker 3: a lot about it you know he missed uh you
- 16:23Speaker 3: know missed a little bit at this point anybody who
- 16:26Speaker 3: on the offensive line is going to be banged up
- 16:28Speaker 3: why because we have done a crap job recruiting offensive
- 16:33Speaker 3: line for the past several years like we had the
- 16:36Speaker 3: fasusi year um you get fasusi you get fojay you.
- 16:40Speaker 2: Feel really, really good about that.
- 16:41Speaker 3: I think that like we, you know, Lamont Rogers and
- 16:43Speaker 3: Andrew Babalola were on the table and it's like, well, what,
- 16:46Speaker 3: you know, what are you going to do with four
- 16:48Speaker 3: of the, you know, four or five star tackles? Like I, we, we,
- 16:53Speaker 3: we then pared it down and we just get some
- 16:56Speaker 3: random guys and you pair the poor recruiting with the
- 17:01Speaker 3: Jake Taylor, Jake Sexton and always being hurt, and then
- 17:06Speaker 3: the next set of young guys are overworking themselves against
- 17:09Speaker 3: a veteran defensive line. And that's why our offensive line
- 17:12Speaker 3: can't stay healthy is because they're freaking young and they
- 17:15Speaker 3: just get the crap kicked out of them by this
- 17:18Speaker 3: NFL-style defense week in and week out, practice in and
- 17:22Speaker 3: practice out. And all they do– like there's not a
- 17:25Speaker 3: lot of time where they get to line up and go,
- 17:27Speaker 3: all right, let's do something really, really good here. Like
- 17:31Speaker 3: let's– this is a– this is a good, uh, you know,
- 17:34Speaker 3: this is a good team that we can just beat
- 17:36Speaker 3: up on. They can't, they couldn't beat up on Kent state.
- 17:39Speaker 3: They couldn't beat up on temple, New Mexico. Uh, you know, they,
- 17:43Speaker 3: they have not been able to beat up on anybody.
- 17:45Speaker 3: And Jay, I'm just, I'm sorry, but like, if our
- 17:49Speaker 3: subscribers started dipping and people quit watching and I, we
- 17:54Speaker 3: look and we're like, well, Coop just is, doesn't do
- 17:57Speaker 3: a damn thing. He talks about incorrect stats all the time.
- 18:01Speaker 3: And like, Everybody would finally come to you and go,
- 18:04Speaker 3: be like, dude, your show was really good. He's dropped off.
- 18:09Speaker 3: I know it sucks, but maybe it's time to, I
- 18:11Speaker 3: don't know, bring in somebody else. And I think it's
- 18:15Speaker 3: time for Bill. I think it's time to old yellow Bill.
- 18:21Speaker 2: Yeah. And the reason why is it's that.
- 18:28Speaker 3: So you are sitting in a situation to where This
- 18:32Speaker 3: offensive line is going to marginally get better throughout the season.
- 18:37Speaker 3: And if you remember the Jackson Arnold year, I think
- 18:41Speaker 3: by the end of the year, that was the one
- 18:43Speaker 3: ray of hope on offense was like, you know, they're
- 18:47Speaker 3: getting better. The offensive line seems to be doing something better.
- 18:51Speaker 3: We're rushing worse this year than that year. And you're
- 18:54Speaker 3: not telling me that Jackson Arnold and his scrambled egg
- 18:56Speaker 3: brain was ever anything better than John. But, we can't
- 19:03Speaker 3: run it the ball at all. And I think it
- 19:05Speaker 3: all falls on the fact that that offensive line is
- 19:08Speaker 3: young and you need to be in there, like learning
- 19:10Speaker 3: a scheme and getting that scheme down. And this, this,
- 19:14Speaker 3: some of these guys like Mike Vasusi, they're on scheme
- 19:16Speaker 3: four in the past two years.
- 19:19Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 19:19Speaker 3: And you're bouncing in and out of different things. And
- 19:21Speaker 3: you're just like, why aren't you guys learning? Well, number one,
- 19:25Speaker 3: it's because we can't complete two consecutive weeks with something
- 19:30Speaker 3: that works.
- 19:31Speaker 1: Yeah, we're not we're not sticking to a plan. It's
- 19:36Speaker 1: we're constantly readjusting ourselves a little bit earlier than we
- 19:39Speaker 1: probably should very much prematurely prematurely. And to your point,
- 19:45Speaker 1: with with the scheme deals and stuff like I've said it,
- 19:48Speaker 1: I've been on the record numerous times this shit. needs
- 19:50Speaker 1: to be Ben Arbuckle's last year. And it's nothing against him.
- 19:52Speaker 1: It's just obviously they're not meshing and it's not working.
- 19:55Speaker 1: And I say that because at this point, Ben's got
- 19:58Speaker 1: to go. You need to bring in an OC that
- 19:59Speaker 1: brings basically a majority of the staff with him. Have
- 20:03Speaker 1: someone that brings their own offensive line coach. Love Bill
- 20:06Speaker 1: probably should move him to analyst at this point. And
- 20:09Speaker 1: just have him around because he's still good at what
- 20:11Speaker 1: he does, but he's not getting he's not being he's
- 20:14Speaker 1: not as impactful as he used to be. And you're
- 20:17Speaker 1: seeing it with the product on the field the last
- 20:19Speaker 1: few years. So have him around as an analyst. Let
- 20:21Speaker 1: him stick around that way. I know he wants to
- 20:23Speaker 1: be around the program. That's not a bad idea. Move
- 20:25Speaker 1: him into an analyst role. Get him to retire. Have
- 20:27Speaker 1: moved to an analyst role. You can leave with dignity.
- 20:30Speaker 1: But from there. You need to have someone that wants
- 20:33Speaker 1: to bring some guys in. You find a way to
- 20:36Speaker 1: retain D-Lin as well as Jason Witten because they're not
- 20:40Speaker 1: Oklahoma guys, so that makes it a lot easier to
- 20:43Speaker 1: be able to stomach keeping them around. But that was
- 20:47Speaker 1: the challenge with Lightbeat. Bo's been around 13, 14 years.
- 20:50Speaker 1: DeMarco was a former legend here, and he had been
- 20:53Speaker 1: here for a long time. Wanting to hang on to people,
- 20:56Speaker 1: that was always– And to me, it feels like BV
- 21:00Speaker 1: can now point to, all right, let me bring an
- 21:02Speaker 1: OC in and let him bring his own people. Let
- 21:04Speaker 1: me find someone that can be the CEO on this side. Like,
- 21:09Speaker 1: like I am like the overarching, but I would like
- 21:14Speaker 1: a offensive coordinator guy that could bring in position coaches
- 21:18Speaker 1: that also have offensive coordinating experience. similar to what we
- 21:22Speaker 1: have on defense. All of that experience is big on
- 21:25Speaker 1: the teaching side of it. That's why I did a
- 21:28Speaker 1: video on this and I thought the passing defense will
- 21:31Speaker 1: be better this year than last. They're going to give
- 21:33Speaker 1: us some big plays because that's exactly what this defense
- 21:35Speaker 1: is built on, is getting pressure to the quarterback fast
- 21:38Speaker 1: enough to where if you do have a blown coverage,
- 21:41Speaker 1: you don't get exposed on it. Unfortunately, Georgia got a
- 21:45Speaker 1: couple of those on us. One a touchdown, one a
- 21:48Speaker 1: deep play for a catch. But... they still have not
- 21:52Speaker 1: given up a whole bunch of just passing yards this year.
- 21:54Speaker 1: Like everybody's been under 200 yards, which is exactly what
- 21:59Speaker 1: you were hoping for is wow. You're not giving up
- 22:01Speaker 1: more than 200 yards passing at all to anybody this season.
- 22:04Speaker 1: And if you do this again, it gets Texas passing
- 22:06Speaker 1: game is improved. Shout out to Lamar Morgan and being
- 22:10Speaker 1: able to help stifle some of that and cut that
- 22:13Speaker 1: bleeding down. So, which I do think, um, I do
- 22:21Speaker 1: think that that is a possibility in the way that
- 22:24Speaker 1: Texas has played this year, but, um, yeah, we need to,
- 22:30Speaker 1: I think whoever you bring in as OC needs to
- 22:32Speaker 1: bring their own person with them, uh, bring some people
- 22:36Speaker 1: with them, especially on offensive line, uh, maybe a wide
- 22:40Speaker 1: receiver coach, um, You want to hang on to your
- 22:44Speaker 1: tight end and your running back coach. Bring a quarterback
- 22:47Speaker 1: coach with them. Or they could be a quarterback coach too.
- 22:49Speaker 1: That's always great to have an offensive coordinator that also
- 22:52Speaker 1: coaches quarterbacks if they've got experience. The names I've been seeing,
- 22:56Speaker 1: Bobby Petrino, he runs a pro-style offense. That could work.
- 23:00Speaker 1: I don't know about personality wise, but hey, that's one. Kodanecki,
- 23:04Speaker 1: that's another one that, you know, I've been seeing. Joe
- 23:06Speaker 1: Craddock is another name. Even though Craddock is a QB
- 23:09Speaker 1: coach only, he's not an OC anymore. Maybe he likes
- 23:12Speaker 1: being demoted and hanging out, you know, underneath Buster Faulkner.
- 23:15Speaker 1: But I think Buster Faulkner ends up getting the first
- 23:18Speaker 1: SEC job that opens up. this cycle, which is most
- 23:21Speaker 1: likely South Carolina. So Buster Fulton is about to be
- 23:24Speaker 1: a head coach. So unfortunately, unfortunately for Oklahoma, if we
- 23:29Speaker 1: had got him, he would be gone within a year.
- 23:31Speaker 1: We'd be back in this exact same scenario. We'd be
- 23:33Speaker 1: searching for another offensive coordinator. But with better offensive output.
- 23:37Speaker 2: We also don't have Jaden Ball on our roster. We
- 23:42Speaker 2: don't have.
- 23:44Speaker 1: Fair, but I think Faulkner can scheme you that.
- 23:47Speaker 2: Oh, no, no, trust me on that.
- 23:49Speaker 1: With the players we have. I don't think you would
- 23:51Speaker 1: have the best running back in the country on your
- 23:53Speaker 1: roster yet. I don't think we've developed that yet, but
- 23:56Speaker 1: I do think Faulkner could have developed someone to be
- 23:58Speaker 1: a 5'8 to 1,000-yard rusher. That could have been easy.
- 24:02Speaker 2: No, yeah, yeah. I mean, I'm just saying that, like, Faulkner... Yeah,
- 24:09Speaker 2: I'm not going to go there because he's not coming
- 24:12Speaker 2: here unless....
- 24:14Speaker 3: He comes here as a head coach, and then a
- 24:16Speaker 3: lot of stuff happens. But I would also just say that, like,
- 24:22Speaker 3: I really do think that I've been thinking about this
- 24:26Speaker 3: since Saturday, and I think that the situation needs to be, Brent,
- 24:34Speaker 3: you manage the details. You take care of the defense.
- 24:40Speaker 3: The offense, you got nothing to do with. I mean,
- 24:42Speaker 3: if you want to give your expectations and let's try
- 24:46Speaker 3: that game out. I also am at a spot right
- 24:49Speaker 3: now to where I think that we've been a little
- 24:51Speaker 3: worried about firing Bill Biedenboe because you don't want to
- 24:54Speaker 3: lose a recruit or you don't want to lose a
- 24:56Speaker 3: young player.
- 24:57Speaker 1: Because everybody loves him.
- 24:59Speaker 2: I'm at the exact same time.
- 25:02Speaker 3: I'm kind of mentally at the spots where nobody is
- 25:05Speaker 3: safe on offense at all.
- 25:07Speaker 1: Zero.
- 25:08Speaker 2: I love Dylan McCullough. Like, I want him here. And
- 25:12Speaker 2: I want Jason Witten here.
- 25:14Speaker 3: But if that's going to, because, you know, there's a
- 25:17Speaker 3: lot of whispers about Faulkner wanted to bring in an
- 25:19Speaker 3: O-line coach and they were not going to get rid
- 25:22Speaker 3: of Beanbow. Other people wanting to bring in, you know,
- 25:28Speaker 3: other staffers and stuff like that. And we just wouldn't
- 25:31Speaker 3: do it. So where I'm at currently is I don't care.
- 25:35Speaker 3: It's got to get fixed because right now, you know,
- 25:37Speaker 3: shout out George Stoya.
- 25:38Speaker 2: He did a, you know, he did a poll.
- 25:42Speaker 3: That had a lot of stuff from the Sooner Scoop board.
- 25:44Speaker 3: He did a lot of stuff from, you know, from Twitter.
- 25:47Speaker 3: And the majority of people want Brent Venables to stick around.
- 25:51Speaker 3: And it's because of what he's done with the defense. And,
- 25:55Speaker 3: I mean, it's not like he.
- 25:56Speaker 1: Which is a lot harder to replace and rebuild than
- 26:00Speaker 1: the offense. So much harder.
- 26:03Speaker 3: 100%. Especially as a defensive coach, like, that you're trying
- 26:06Speaker 3: to retool the defense and then you're kind of leaving
- 26:09Speaker 3: the offensive stuff on.
- 26:10Speaker 2: But.
- 26:12Speaker 3: You just legitimately, at this point, this is your last chance.
- 26:18Speaker 3: Whoever they go out and they get in this offseason,
- 26:23Speaker 3: I do think that firings are going to happen before
- 26:28Speaker 3: the end of October. But whatever needs to happen, you
- 26:33Speaker 3: need to say, all right, OC coming.
- 26:35Speaker 2: In, whatever you need, whatever you want to do, we're
- 26:38Speaker 2: going to do it.
- 26:40Speaker 3: And, you know, there's been a couple people that I've
- 26:43Speaker 3: talked to here the past couple days that said, you know,
- 26:47Speaker 3: the administration and a lot of the donors, they know
- 26:51Speaker 3: that money can fix this problem, and so they're willing
- 26:53Speaker 3: to do it. But there's going to be stipulations.
- 26:56Speaker 1: I need to see them do it. I'll believe it
- 26:59Speaker 1: when I see it. Like, it's funny, I've had people
- 27:03Speaker 1: give me comparisons of, who was it? Actually, it was
- 27:06Speaker 1: Paul Feinbaum. I'm going to do a video on that
- 27:08Speaker 1: to come out tomorrow. unfortunately got to tell him that
- 27:11Speaker 1: he's right in a way but he also made the
- 27:13Speaker 1: comment of Oklahoma's like Nebraska and Florida State look at
- 27:16Speaker 1: what's going on there and I'm just like see Florida
- 27:19Speaker 1: State they got screwed out of their playoff spot but
- 27:22Speaker 1: their offense is atrocious and they have an offensive guy
- 27:24Speaker 1: like Norvell's an offensive guy and they look awful he's
- 27:28Speaker 1: gone through like four offensive coordinators Nebraska 10 win season
- 27:36Speaker 1: since Osborne's gone, none, zero. Yeah, that's what I thought.
- 27:42Speaker 1: They haven't even been competitive really in their conference. So
- 27:45Speaker 1: it's like, for us, the rollercoaster ride is just a
- 27:50Speaker 1: weird one. It's been weird. And at the same time,
- 27:53Speaker 1: Brent Venables has only been able to hire one guy
- 27:56Speaker 1: that he really wanted on offense that, that, didn't need
- 28:00Speaker 1: to bring in a staff. And that was Jeff Levy
- 28:02Speaker 1: who knew everybody and he's really good at what he does.
- 28:05Speaker 1: And he's showing how great he is at what he
- 28:07Speaker 1: does at Mississippi State. So the fact that we, that
- 28:14Speaker 1: he's out there doing that right now and with his
- 28:16Speaker 1: recruiting and everything, I mean, Jackson Arnold and Michael Hawkins
- 28:20Speaker 1: were both recruits of his. Probably been one of those
- 28:24Speaker 1: situations you would have hoped you could have hung on
- 28:26Speaker 1: to him, but he got a head coaching job in
- 28:28Speaker 1: the SEC. Like I said, no matter what, just get
- 28:32Speaker 1: used to changing OCs. Unless you replace Brent Venables with
- 28:37Speaker 1: an offensive coach, get used to replacing your offensive coordinator
- 28:40Speaker 1: every two years. It's just going to happen no matter what.
- 28:45Speaker 1: Good or bad, it's going to happen.
- 28:48Speaker 3: While you're going with that, and I'm more concerned about
- 28:52Speaker 3: guys that are actually on the team currently as far
- 28:54Speaker 3: as the losing, because I know that people are like, well,
- 28:55Speaker 3: what about Caden Penny and Cooper Hackett? Like, I think
- 28:59Speaker 3: that the way that this has been set up is
- 29:02Speaker 3: we have so many, um, we have so many people
- 29:06Speaker 3: who are that recruiting their, their recruitments are mainly handled,
- 29:10Speaker 3: handled by Lake and, um, Jim Nagy and everybody. I
- 29:15Speaker 3: don't think that those guys necessarily bounce if, um, if
- 29:18Speaker 3: we fire bill, I really don't. Um, Now, I'm yet
- 29:24Speaker 3: to really feel if we're getting– if the Bill Beeden
- 29:28Speaker 3: boat being fired, would that happen in season? Or would
- 29:32Speaker 3: they announce that like they did with the tight ends
- 29:35Speaker 3: with Joe John Finley this past year and Debarco, like
- 29:38Speaker 3: you just wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, you get
- 29:41Speaker 3: your recruits and then you, then you flip it.
- 29:44Speaker 2: I just don't know. I just have no clue.
- 29:45Speaker 3: And, and, and it, I know that everybody wants somebody
- 29:47Speaker 3: to be fired because we as fans want to see
- 29:54Speaker 3: that the administration is taking it as seriously as we are.
- 29:58Speaker 2: Right.
- 29:59Speaker 3: Like, I've had a lot of conversations with people over
- 30:00Speaker 3: the past couple days. It's like, we just need to
- 30:02Speaker 3: fire somebody. We just need to get somebody out of there.
- 30:07Speaker 3: I can tell you this. They're thinking long-term. Like, this
- 30:11Speaker 3: is a big, long-term deal. Like, this isn't, like, how
- 30:14Speaker 3: can we be good better? You know, how can we
- 30:16Speaker 3: do the best opportunity to be good next year? Because
- 30:20Speaker 3: I think that if you go after SBC Bates, John Gruden,
- 30:26Speaker 3: Bobby Petrino, guys like that, There is a long-term effect
- 30:32Speaker 3: in two to three years from people like that.
- 30:34Speaker 2: There just really is.
- 30:36Speaker 1: Yeah, I wouldn't want John Gruden, personally. I haven't seen
- 30:40Speaker 1: him do anything since the Buccaneers won the Super Bowl.
- 30:45Speaker 1: Probably not worth that, if you really think about it. Now, granted,
- 30:49Speaker 1: him and B.B. would get along, probably. He likes BV.
- 30:52Speaker 1: He's been here. But nah. I'm good on that part. Okay.
- 30:59Speaker 1: We're going to take y'all's questions. Plus, we're going to
- 31:03Speaker 1: take a gander at the rest of this schedule. See
- 31:08Speaker 1: what it looks like. Because if you really think about it,
- 31:12Speaker 1: you got eight games left. Something's got to break. Let's

- 33:09Speaker 1: say the struggle has been real for your boy. And
- 33:12Speaker 1: we got eight more weeks of this. And then, of course,
- 33:17Speaker 1: we're going right into not only the final parts of
- 33:20Speaker 1: early sign-in day, then we're going to transfer portal in January. Gosh,
- 33:24Speaker 1: it's going to be painful. So many of y'all are
- 33:25Speaker 1: going to be mad at us. But good question here
- 33:28Speaker 1: by Red State Blue. The Red State Blue. Does Ben
- 33:31Speaker 1: Arbuckle make it to the end of the season? Yeah,
- 33:38Speaker 1: I don't think they fire him unless something just go
- 33:41Speaker 1: catastrophically bad. They like him. I think that he ends up.
- 33:45Speaker 1: getting to hang around for the rest of the season.
- 33:47Speaker 1: What do you think?
- 33:47Speaker 3: I mean, there's, I mean, the, the Ben Arbuckle, you will,
- 33:54Speaker 3: you watch 60 plays and people will pick out three
- 33:58Speaker 3: or four Arbuckle spots and go, look, look, look what
- 34:01Speaker 3: was going on right there.
- 34:03Speaker 2: Like the end of the half, you're trying to get
- 34:04Speaker 2: in position.
- 34:05Speaker 3: Like you need to be going down and scoring a touchdown, not,
- 34:08Speaker 3: lining up for a Sandell field goal, which Sandell, he
- 34:12Speaker 3: must have kicked a burrito when nobody was looking because
- 34:15Speaker 3: Tate's ass.
- 34:17Speaker 1: I wouldn't say that.
- 34:24Speaker 2: It was a big taco if it wasn't a burrito.
- 34:26Speaker 1: Okay, we'll go with that.
- 34:27Speaker 2: We'll take that.
- 34:28Speaker 1: Can't be a burrito.
- 34:30Speaker 3: But Arbuckle also schemed up the plays that everybody keeps
- 34:35Speaker 3: on screen grabbing and showing guys just running wide open.
- 34:38Speaker 2: Like, wide open. So I think in my list of.
- 34:44Speaker 3: Horse crap that we throw out there on offense, Ben
- 34:47Speaker 3: Arbuckle's a little bit further down the line. I think
- 34:49Speaker 3: I would put our offensive line at number one. I'd
- 34:53Speaker 3: put John at number two. I'd probably put our offensive
- 34:57Speaker 3: lineman at number three. And then Anna Jones.
- 35:03Speaker 2: Then Arbuckle.
- 35:04Speaker 3: And dude's probably going to lose his job because... we can't,
- 35:10Speaker 3: we can't block anything. So no, I, I think they
- 35:13Speaker 3: stick around. Plus the only other person I think that's
- 35:16Speaker 3: going to be able to call plays legitimately is Kevin Wilson.
- 35:21Speaker 2: And from what I understand, he wants nothing to do
- 35:23Speaker 2: with it. Like not at all.
- 35:25Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, I say that as, you know, he's,
- 35:28Speaker 1: I think he's involved in all of this anyway. And
- 35:31Speaker 1: Kevin is kind of an air raid guy anyway. I mean,
- 35:33Speaker 1: more of a pro style, but I mean, that's what
- 35:36Speaker 1: we ran back with, um, um, white and Sam Bradford.
- 35:43Speaker 1: We just had a really good offensive lines and we,
- 35:45Speaker 1: we did a lot of, um, Really good passing down
- 35:49Speaker 1: the field. Herb Sanders with a good question here. I
- 35:53Speaker 1: heard Kel Gundy say that there was not much difference
- 35:57Speaker 1: in scheme between what we did against New Mexico and Georgia.
- 36:00Speaker 1: Trevor keeps saying they are going back to air raking.
- 36:02Speaker 1: Elaborate on the scheme. Yeah, if you notice in the
- 36:05Speaker 1: Georgia game, you didn't really see it in New Mexico.
- 36:08Speaker 1: It felt like much of a mix to me. But Georgia,
- 36:12Speaker 1: they were basically running a lot of air raid stuff.
- 36:15Speaker 1: And you got to find a way to just get
- 36:17Speaker 1: people open. Well, correction, you got to get your quarterback
- 36:21Speaker 1: to throw it to people that are open, which he
- 36:23Speaker 1: did about 50% of the time. 50% of the time,
- 36:26Speaker 1: he was hitting wide open people. And other times, he's like, dude,
- 36:28Speaker 1: dude's wide open still in the same spot. You're not
- 36:30Speaker 1: throwing it there. It's like he was like, there's no
- 36:32Speaker 1: way they're open there again. And then he would hesitate.
- 36:36Speaker 1: So to me, as you mentioned, Coop, very eloquently, there
- 36:41Speaker 1: were moments out there that Ben... You had some WTF moments,
- 36:45Speaker 1: what he called, and then moments of like, oh, dude,
- 36:47Speaker 1: they're wide open. It's a great job. My thing is,
- 36:50Speaker 1: the stipulation that needs to come in going forward is,
- 36:53Speaker 1: you throw the ball to this person like I tell
- 36:55Speaker 1: you to, or I pull you out of the game.
- 36:58Speaker 1: That is what needs to happen. It's got to get
- 37:00Speaker 1: less on the, I want you to make this decision,
- 37:03Speaker 1: and more of a, nah, you need to throw it
- 37:04Speaker 1: while I tell you how to throw it.
- 37:06Speaker 3: Jay, if I've ever been behind a sentence that you
- 37:10Speaker 3: have spoken before, it's this.
- 37:12Speaker 2: John- No more thinking. I don't, I don't care.
- 37:16Speaker 3: Like if I tell you to, you're going to look
- 37:20Speaker 3: on the left hash and you're going to take your
- 37:22Speaker 3: three-step drop. You are going to throw the ball at
- 37:26Speaker 3: the number and whatever happens happens.
- 37:29Speaker 2: It's not on you. It's on me as the offensive coordinator.
- 37:31Speaker 3: I am okay with that because John just, it doesn't,
- 37:36Speaker 3: it's not working.
- 37:37Speaker 2: And I don't know if it's confidence. I don't know
- 37:39Speaker 2: if it's competence or, I.
- 37:41Speaker 3: Have no clue because we've seen John look very, very competent,
- 37:46Speaker 3: and we've seen him look very, very incompetent. We've seen
- 37:49Speaker 3: him look like nothing in the world could take him down,
- 37:53Speaker 3: and then we've also seen him look like he might
- 37:57Speaker 3: be hiding under the bench when he goes over to
- 37:58Speaker 3: the sideline. But that's what it needs to do is
- 38:02Speaker 3: this is what we're doing. No more than two reads.
- 38:06Speaker 3: You get read one, read two, John take off.
- 38:10Speaker 1: Or do this even better. This is where you're going
- 38:14Speaker 1: to throw the ball. You're going to go on your
- 38:15Speaker 1: three-step drop. You're going to throw it to the left
- 38:17Speaker 1: hash at this number, this wide receiver. Their job is
- 38:20Speaker 1: to get there. But as soon as you get the ball,
- 38:23Speaker 1: you immediately look right. And when you touch back on
- 38:27Speaker 1: that step, you turn and you just throw it to
- 38:29Speaker 1: the left of that spot. Play the safety. Still play
- 38:33Speaker 1: the safety's eyes. Make him watch you. Oh, he's looking
- 38:35Speaker 1: at the right. He's definitely not going this direction. And
- 38:37Speaker 1: then just boom and lob it. And tell the receiver,
- 38:41Speaker 1: you better be over here at this number area. Period. Like,
- 38:45Speaker 1: work on the timing on it in practice. And with
- 38:47Speaker 1: a pressure, put Courtland Guillory on them and say, Courtland,
- 38:49Speaker 1: don't knock the ball down. Your job is to just
- 38:51Speaker 1: give them pressure and make them break off of you
- 38:54Speaker 1: and then go out there and see how long does
- 38:55Speaker 1: it take for you to get there. Boom. Do that
- 38:59Speaker 1: on multiple plays. Because that's the thing. That's the good
- 39:02Speaker 1: thing about the way Buckle was doing it. Across the middle,
- 39:04Speaker 1: Rocky Beers was open dang near every other play. Even
- 39:07Speaker 1: when Georgia was watching him hard, they were like, nah,
- 39:11Speaker 1: you still gonna have to throw this thing. And Rocky
- 39:13Speaker 1: was getting himself in the little pockets and he was
- 39:16Speaker 1: getting open. Hey, Jacob Jordan was open on that pass
- 39:18Speaker 1: that he threw the interception on. He's under through it.
- 39:21Speaker 1: He felt the pressure. And instead of stepping up in
- 39:25Speaker 1: his stance and just lobbing it to the open grass,
- 39:29Speaker 1: he got happy. feet jumped forward and did a jump
- 39:31Speaker 1: pass that fell very short because he tried to rocket
- 39:35Speaker 1: it in there instead of lobbing it right into the
- 39:38Speaker 1: spot right to the bread basket of his receiver he
- 39:41Speaker 1: had that opportunity to do that uh sb bay thank
- 39:43Speaker 1: you for the 199 please stop air raid only works
- 39:46Speaker 1: with a good quarterback can't do much about that bro
- 39:48Speaker 1: bro That's just kind of how the game it is.
- 39:50Speaker 1: And you asked the question about John Gruden. Absolutely not.
- 39:53Speaker 1: I have no interest in hiring John Gruden. He was
- 39:54Speaker 1: the head coach of my Tampa Bay Buccaneers and I
- 39:56Speaker 1: watched him for years. No, thank you. I am good.
- 40:00Speaker 1: This is a good one from Stanson Stegall. Is there
- 40:05Speaker 1: a chance we see Fasusi at Red River? I'm going
- 40:08Speaker 1: to say no. I don't think you see Fasusi. Maybe
- 40:14Speaker 1: Texas A & M. Because it don't seem like something's
- 40:20Speaker 1: up that shoulder. Like it's more than what it was.
- 40:23Speaker 1: So I'm just going to say I don't think we
- 40:25Speaker 1: see him at all. Until maybe Texas A & M.
- 40:35Speaker 2: I mean, no. I'm just going to say no. I
- 40:42Speaker 2: do want to say this, Jay.
- 40:45Speaker 3: As of right now, of all my bold predictions, the
- 40:48Speaker 3: only one I feel comfortable about is the tight ends,
- 40:51Speaker 3: getting the 10 touchdowns and 1,000 yards.
- 40:53Speaker 1: Oh, we are so almost there.
- 40:56Speaker 3: Number one tight end in the SEC is Rocky Beers.
- 41:00Speaker 1: Right, Rocky Beers, we have two touchdowns, right?
- 41:05Speaker 2: He has two total right now. I think Hanson has one.
- 41:08Speaker 3: Yep.
- 41:11Speaker 1: He has two. Hanson has one. So we're at three.
- 41:13Speaker 1: We're getting close to pace. We would have had four
- 41:18Speaker 1: if we just threw the ball to Jermaine Washington, who
- 41:20Speaker 1: was wide open on the flat. And I don't care
- 41:22Speaker 1: if y'all– he ain't listed as an H-back on the roster.
- 41:26Speaker 1: He's listed as tight end. So it does count.
- 41:28Speaker 2: It counts. F that. It counts.
- 41:31Speaker 3: If John catches one, I'm going to count that because
- 41:33Speaker 3: he's an idiot and he needs to play tight end maybe.
- 41:35Speaker 1: There we go. We'll go with that.
- 41:37Speaker 2: John Mateer is Jaron Kanick at quarterback.
- 41:41Speaker 1: Yeah, right. There you go. Richard, that's a good question here.
- 41:44Speaker 1: Why is John so gun shy? He waits too long
- 41:47Speaker 1: to get rid of the ball, man. I think that
- 41:49Speaker 1: line just has him just nervous. I don't know why,
- 41:53Speaker 1: because truth be told, there's a lot of moments where
- 41:57Speaker 1: they give him just enough time to go through the
- 41:59Speaker 1: three step drop and throw it. Basically the same amount
- 42:01Speaker 1: of time that Gunnar Stockton had in some of his
- 42:04Speaker 1: big plays. Because Gunnar was getting pressure, and the beauty
- 42:07Speaker 1: of him, I've talked about this on the live Sunday.
- 42:10Speaker 1: I've talked about it on Locked On. I've talked about
- 42:12Speaker 1: it here numerous times. What impressed me the most about
- 42:14Speaker 1: him was he knew the pressure was coming, and he
- 42:17Speaker 1: was about to get hit, like leveled. Taylor Wine got
- 42:20Speaker 1: a couple good hits on him. I think Stone got one.
- 42:24Speaker 1: PJ got one. Danny got one. But he let go
- 42:27Speaker 1: of the ball right before they got there. I think
- 42:29Speaker 1: Jane Jackson got one as well. But he got rid
- 42:33Speaker 1: of the ball right before they hit him. And that's
- 42:37Speaker 1: what John's got to do. Three step drops. I'm thinking
- 42:39Speaker 1: too hard. Lead your receiver and throw it, throw them open.
- 42:43Speaker 1: That's what's going to prevent John from going to the NFL.
- 42:45Speaker 1: It's all about throwing players open, not waiting for them
- 42:49Speaker 1: to get open. That's my thoughts. But cool. What would
- 42:55Speaker 1: you do at this moment, this point moving forward?
- 42:59Speaker 3: Like you always talk about, you know, you always hear,
- 43:03Speaker 3: People on the broadcast come into a game and saying,
- 43:07Speaker 3: you know, I heard that the coaching staff has just
- 43:10Speaker 3: wanted to simplify a lot of stuff.
- 43:14Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 43:15Speaker 3: As long as nobody on the offensive line gets hurt
- 43:18Speaker 3: from today to Saturday next week, that might be the
- 43:23Speaker 3: longest time that you've had your offensive line working together.
- 43:28Speaker 3: So you've got to think that– there are some things
- 43:31Speaker 3: that you can potentially do that you've seen people do
- 43:35Speaker 3: successfully against Texas.
- 43:37Speaker 2: And you just, I mean, you got to simplify it
- 43:41Speaker 2: for John.
- 43:41Speaker 3: And maybe that is a situation to where after the first,
- 43:45Speaker 3: you know, the first, you know, drive of the game,
- 43:48Speaker 3: everything is completely scripted.
- 43:50Speaker 1: It is.
- 43:50Speaker 3: These are our 10 plays we're going to run. If
- 43:53Speaker 3: we have to audible out of this play, you're going
- 43:55Speaker 3: to do this.
- 43:55Speaker 2: We had audible.
- 43:56Speaker 3: You got 15 till 15 seconds to say it. And
- 44:00Speaker 3: that's what it is, is you just have to simplify,
- 44:03Speaker 3: take every decision off of John's back, because no matter
- 44:08Speaker 3: what our record was last year, what it is this year,
- 44:12Speaker 3: it is a 100% guarantee that he cannot do all
- 44:20Speaker 3: the decision-making.
- 44:22Speaker 2: We thought it was just the RPO. It seems it's
- 44:25Speaker 2: just playing quarterback. Yeah, at that point.
- 44:29Speaker 3: Like I said, when I say at Washington State he
- 44:33Speaker 3: got away with a lot of stuff, Jay, it's because
- 44:36Speaker 3: a defender was four yards away from him instead of
- 44:40Speaker 3: tugging on his jersey.
- 44:42Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. He was the most athletic dude on the field.
- 44:44Speaker 1: You ain't that in the SEC. You ain't the most
- 44:47Speaker 1: athletic dude in the field. You're probably one of the
- 44:49Speaker 1: stronger players in the SEC.
- 44:52Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 44:53Speaker 1: Breaking tackles in the pocket like you do all the time. Yeah,
- 44:57Speaker 1: you can do that. 100%. Don't knock it off because
- 45:00Speaker 1: that's actually your superpower. But the most athletic? No. Them linebackers? No.
- 45:09Speaker 2: No, Jay.
- 45:09Speaker 1: That is what a challenge can be.
- 45:10Speaker 3: No, you got to get close to the line of scrimmage.
- 45:12Speaker 3: There's DNs that are just what he is. Exactly. And
- 45:16Speaker 3: then there are D tackles who can keep up with
- 45:20Speaker 3: him sprinting.
- 45:23Speaker 1: Exactly. So this is a good one. It's a good
- 45:26Speaker 1: last question. We're going to look at this schedule and
- 45:27Speaker 1: see if we can find a win. What's the ballpark
- 45:30Speaker 1: amount you think hiring an OC and their position coaches
- 45:33Speaker 1: are bringing in offensive players we will need for next
- 45:36Speaker 1: season would be? Ooh, so 47 straight. That's a good one. 10.
- 45:42Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 45:42Speaker 1: I was going to say 10 milli. It's easy. Um, you,
- 45:45Speaker 1: you'll pay buyouts on whomever you buy out. You're going
- 45:49Speaker 1: to have to bring in an offensive mind that will
- 45:54Speaker 1: have to bring in, they're going to bring in some,
- 45:57Speaker 1: they probably won't bring in a full staff. They're bringing
- 45:58Speaker 1: a few coaches because usually what happens is, is usually
- 46:02Speaker 1: the top assistant at a place. If they leave that place,
- 46:04Speaker 1: that top assistant gets usually bumped up into that role.
- 46:07Speaker 1: They basically just backfill them like that. That happens a lot.
- 46:11Speaker 1: So that's a very common tactic. Um, So in that case,
- 46:16Speaker 1: I'd say 10 is probably a fair number for roster
- 46:19Speaker 1: players to go along with your coach and their staff. Yeah,
- 46:23Speaker 1: 10 is probably a safe number. Because what you just
- 46:26Speaker 1: need is some top-end talent. I don't think you need
- 46:29Speaker 1: to replace everybody on offense. You just need to add
- 46:31Speaker 1: some top-end spots. Probably a couple of linemen. Probably a
- 46:35Speaker 1: wide receiver or two. Depending on what the running back
- 46:40Speaker 1: room looks like, you may need to add another there.
- 46:44Speaker 1: But I think the biggest thing is really investing in
- 46:46Speaker 1: the O-line, get you a top wide receiver to go
- 46:49Speaker 1: with the young guys and then a quarterback to go
- 46:51Speaker 1: along with the offensive staff and boom. You are there
- 46:57Speaker 1: to go on that.
- 46:58Speaker 3: Well, I would almost even say this, Jay, is with
- 47:02Speaker 3: what you throw out there on a weekly basis for defense,
- 47:05Speaker 3: you don't need.
- 47:08Speaker 2: One of the top three portal quarterbacks to come in.
- 47:13Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no.
- 47:15Speaker 3: You need a Dylan Gabriel, a game manager, somebody who
- 47:21Speaker 3: has at least got some intelligence going on there. I
- 47:25Speaker 3: don't think that you need to go after the top-end
- 47:28Speaker 3: wide receivers, guys who are asking for a Millie to
- 47:30Speaker 3: come in.
- 47:30Speaker 2: No, screw that. Piss off.
- 47:32Speaker 3: You can go get an Isaiah Cetania from Arkansas who says,
- 47:36Speaker 3: I think I should be doing a little bit more,
- 47:38Speaker 3: and Cetania came in and he showed that that was
- 47:41Speaker 3: the case.
- 47:41Speaker 2: He could.
- 47:42Speaker 3: So you can go out and get yourself a competent
- 47:46Speaker 3: quarterback that's not top tier. You can go get a
- 47:50Speaker 3: couple wide receivers if we happen to lose some people.
- 47:53Speaker 3: But where your focus needs to be in the portal
- 47:55Speaker 3: is 100% offensive line. And it's not going out and
- 47:58Speaker 3: getting five seniors. It's getting maybe a guy who is
- 48:02Speaker 3: a sophomore, a couple of juniors. You're going to have
- 48:07Speaker 3: the five for five rule situation happening. So You might
- 48:10Speaker 3: be able to get a guy who's seen decent snaps
- 48:12Speaker 3: for three years, but you need to do that because
- 48:16Speaker 3: it seems like you watch every single other game, and
- 48:19Speaker 3: whether it's freaking Tulsa, whether it's Oklahoma State bringing in
- 48:23Speaker 3: all of the UNT people, like whoever you're watching, they're just,
- 48:29Speaker 3: I mean, like Jacob Sexton went down. They're like, what
- 48:31Speaker 3: the hell are we going to do with this offensive line?
- 48:32Speaker 3: They just roll out another dude who was a backup
- 48:34Speaker 3: at North Texas, and he's doing fine.
- 48:36Speaker 2: Like get the hell out of here with that. The
- 48:38Speaker 2: coaching matters.
- 48:40Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, that's what you can do there. There's a
- 48:47Speaker 1: lot of options out there. I mean, there's about to
- 48:50Speaker 1: be a few former head coaches that are going to
- 48:52Speaker 1: get fired. That's probably going to be an option, too,
- 48:53Speaker 1: to think about. So just keep that in mind when
- 48:55Speaker 1: we talk about it. Let's look at the schedule, though.
- 48:58Speaker 1: Let's look at what's left on the schedule and see
- 49:01Speaker 1: if we can find a win. Thank you all, of course,

- 49:08Speaker 1: This is what we're working with.
- 49:09Speaker 2: All right.
- 49:12Speaker 1: You screwed up the Georgia one. There was an opportunity
- 49:15Speaker 1: that you had there and you did a terrible job of,
- 49:17Speaker 1: you know, I wanted that to be an opportunity. Yeah. Anyway,
- 49:23Speaker 1: bye week this week. Thank goodness. Cause we need it.
- 49:26Speaker 1: Need a break. Brains need to rest. You got Texas
- 49:34Speaker 1: this week. I mean, you come back home against Kentucky.
- 49:38Speaker 1: Now we've seen Kentucky put up some numbers. As of late,
- 49:42Speaker 1: especially the way they did A & M, but everybody's
- 49:44Speaker 1: already been saying that they thought A & M was
- 49:46Speaker 1: going to be a fraud this year. You replaced two coordinators,
- 49:49Speaker 1: and no one likes Marcel Reed, similar to the way
- 49:51Speaker 1: they don't like John Mateer. I think you can beat Kentucky.
- 49:59Speaker 1: I think you can keep the Texas game close like
- 50:01Speaker 1: you did last year. The biggest question is how much
- 50:04Speaker 1: of a.
- 50:13Speaker 1: How well are you doing the turnover game? Because Ohio
- 50:16Speaker 1: State showed you that you can muscle them on defense.
- 50:21Speaker 1: You just got to do something on offense. This could
- 50:23Speaker 1: end up being 3-3 at the half again and like
- 50:27Speaker 1: 6-3 to finish. It would be, of course, insane, but
- 50:31Speaker 1: that totally is on the docket. And we'll talk more
- 50:38Speaker 1: about Texas next week as we prepare for that game,
- 50:41Speaker 1: but give your quick thoughts on that.
- 50:43Speaker 3: I mean, on Texas, I expect us to lose. I'm
- 50:46Speaker 3: not picking OU to beat Texas again until they prove
- 50:49Speaker 3: me wrong. But Kentucky, A & M' s a fraud. I mean,
- 50:52Speaker 3: I was trying to tell that everybody. Like, I think
- 50:54Speaker 3: that they could– they played a big boy schedule. It
- 50:57Speaker 3: was going to show up, and I had them 8-4
- 50:59Speaker 3: at best. I'm starting to feel much better about that
- 51:02Speaker 3: because– Marcel Reed turned the ball over, was it three times?
- 51:09Speaker 3: He fumbled once, but they got it back.
- 51:12Speaker 2: He had two picks.
- 51:14Speaker 3: He threw the ball 50 times. I mean, 26 for 49, 236, 4.8.
- 51:20Speaker 3: So they're going to need to try. And that's Kentucky's defense, which,
- 51:25Speaker 3: I mean, let's just be honest. Like, Will Stein didn't
- 51:28Speaker 3: come in there and just flip a switch for the defense.
- 51:31Speaker 3: I mean, he's an offensive guy. But Kentucky... was able
- 51:35Speaker 3: to beat A & M by.
- 51:36Speaker 2: Just dink and dink and dink and dink and dink.
- 51:39Speaker 3: And they've got a decent running game from C.J.
- 51:42Speaker 2: Baxter.
- 51:43Speaker 3: So, yeah, I mean, I think that you can– you're
- 51:46Speaker 3: going to have Kentucky coming to the Cribs, so that's
- 51:49Speaker 3: going to help you out a lot. That's going to
- 51:53Speaker 3: be our first home game since New Mexico. And I
- 51:57Speaker 3: can– sweet Jesus, I can tell you this, Jay, that,
- 52:02Speaker 3: if John Mateer comes out and throws some stank on
- 52:05Speaker 3: the field, the Boo Birds will not wait for the
- 52:08Speaker 3: second quarter. It's going to be like Spencer Rattler. And
- 52:12Speaker 3: it may be worse because we broke the seal with
- 52:14Speaker 3: Spencer Rattler.
- 52:16Speaker 2: And then you broke it again with John. And then
- 52:18Speaker 2: you broke it with Hawkins.
- 52:20Speaker 3: And so the fans are now a little bit more
- 52:24Speaker 3: easier to just blast. I think that if you see
- 52:27Speaker 3: any quarterback switch, Kentucky is the most likely. I don't
- 52:31Speaker 3: think you're going to do that at Texas. We saw
- 52:33Speaker 3: it go south for Hawkins. We saw us trying to
- 52:36Speaker 3: play other people in the past against Texas. I don't
- 52:39Speaker 3: see it happening. Do I think you can beat Kentucky? Yes, 100%.
- 52:43Speaker 3: They're not going to beat us on offense. You've got
- 52:46Speaker 3: to keep the ball because they need extra opportunities.
- 52:50Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with that. Next up, traveling to Mississippi State.
- 52:54Speaker 1: I told y'all I was scared of that game. I
- 52:56Speaker 1: told y'all I was scared of that game in the offseason.
- 52:59Speaker 1: I said it numerous times. I was scared of that game.
- 53:03Speaker 1: And Camario is showing why. God, he is so much
- 53:06Speaker 1: fun to watch.
- 53:15Speaker 2: Camario has done.
- 53:17Speaker 3: so much good this year, way past what I've ever expected.
- 53:23Speaker 1: He looks exactly like I thought he was through this year.
- 53:25Speaker 1: That's what terrifies me about it.
- 53:28Speaker 3: Let's see what happens this weekend in three weeks against
- 53:32Speaker 3: LSU because they play Alabama by a week than LSU,
- 53:36Speaker 3: and we'll just see how he kind of shells out
- 53:40Speaker 3: because don't get it twisted. Missouri has had a great
- 53:43Speaker 3: defense for years, and... they made a comeback and they,
- 53:48Speaker 3: they did it, but that's, I just, I mean, I
- 53:53Speaker 3: would expect to lose that game regardless, just because I
- 53:57Speaker 3: feel like Camario Taylor's explosiveness is going to be an
- 54:02Speaker 3: ever present threat until zeros on the clock.
- 54:05Speaker 1: Yep.
- 54:05Speaker 3: And what, why they came back and beat Missouri this
- 54:09Speaker 3: past week is because Missouri has a one trick pony
- 54:13Speaker 3: and they finally caught up to it. And, I don't
- 54:17Speaker 3: even know if we have a trick for our pony.
- 54:20Speaker 3: We don't have any tricks. Even if we got out
- 54:25Speaker 3: in front of him, I.
- 54:27Speaker 2: Would not smile until the game was over.
- 54:30Speaker 3: I think that OU loses that game if Camario is
- 54:33Speaker 3: healthy and continues to look like he has.
- 54:39Speaker 1: Yeah, and I definitely didn't think John would be anything
- 54:41Speaker 1: like Camario. I knew that Camario was going to be
- 54:43Speaker 1: just good. And he fits perfectly with having really good
- 54:50Speaker 1: offensive coordinators or offensive minded guys that can get the
- 54:53Speaker 1: most out of quarterbacks. It's always a huge deal. It's
- 54:56Speaker 1: always a good thing to have. That could, I call
- 55:00Speaker 1: that a toss up because I think our defense can
- 55:03Speaker 1: win that game. But I am with you on that.
- 55:06Speaker 1: South Carolina, we winning that game. We better win that game.
- 55:09Speaker 1: I want everybody fired. They are a dumpster fire. Like
- 55:13Speaker 1: everything is bad there. I don't even think Dylan Stewart's
- 55:16Speaker 1: going to play the rest of this year. Like, it's
- 55:19Speaker 1: just bad. My prediction on Shane Beamer... It was.
- 55:25Speaker 2: I think you called it.
- 55:27Speaker 1: It's next week, right? Is it next week's game?
- 55:30Speaker 2: No, I think you called it the week before our game.
- 55:33Speaker 1: Okay, and that's why I was a little nervous about
- 55:35Speaker 1: it because it's the bounce-back situation, right? It's a bounce-back possibility. Yeah,
- 55:41Speaker 1: they have Kentucky... This week, then they travel to Florida,
- 55:49Speaker 1: which that's going to be probably back-to-back bad games. The
- 55:55Speaker 1: bye week is when you see the firing, and they
- 55:59Speaker 1: host Tennessee at the crib. So it's either the bye
- 56:02Speaker 1: week or Tennessee. I think that Shane gets the cut,
- 56:05Speaker 1: and then they travel to us. I think that that's
- 56:10Speaker 1: terrifying to think that you, yeah, that's the game. You
- 56:17Speaker 1: better win that one. They're a dumpster fire. They got talent,
- 56:20Speaker 1: a ton of talent. They're a dumpster fire right now.
- 56:22Speaker 1: Kendall Briles is probably going to end up being the
- 56:24Speaker 1: interim coach or the defensive coordinator. Yeah, you can't do that.
- 56:30Speaker 2: And here's what's crazy.
- 56:32Speaker 3: South Carolina is number four in the SEC in offensive
- 56:35Speaker 3: yards per game. Like they're moving the ball, you know,
- 56:42Speaker 3: and so. But they've got a lot of self-inflicting wounds.
- 56:46Speaker 3: The defense has not returned to what they thought it
- 56:49Speaker 3: could be. I said maybe Edwards decided to, before the firing,
- 56:59Speaker 3: he decided to pull up with a hammy that he
- 57:01Speaker 3: just can't shake. Well, it looks like he's just going
- 57:04Speaker 3: to tank his draft stock and be a dipshit instead.
- 57:08Speaker 3: But it seems to be going around. in college football
- 57:12Speaker 3: the past couple weeks. There's been a lot of defenders
- 57:14Speaker 3: making some pretty awkward.
- 57:18Speaker 2: Gestures.
- 57:19Speaker 3: But, yeah, I think you get South Carolina. You better.
- 57:26Speaker 3: If it does happen at the bye. And now let
- 57:30Speaker 3: me state this because I'm refraining from taking a look
- 57:34Speaker 3: at the chat at the moment, but I think you
- 57:36Speaker 3: beat South Carolina because it's dumpster fire on dumpster fire.
- 57:40Speaker 3: I don't think that there's a comfortable win for OU
- 57:43Speaker 3: on the rest of the schedule. I just think that
- 57:46Speaker 3: you can muck it up just like crazy. And that's
- 57:51Speaker 3: a game that you can still have John Mateer play
- 57:55Speaker 3: like he did Saturday and somehow win.
- 57:57Speaker 1: Yeah, with that. South Carolina, going to Florida, gosh, that
- 58:04Speaker 1: game is getting more and more terrifying. Yeah, I'm going
- 58:06Speaker 1: to get out of Florida. Yeah. do I, it's unrealistic
- 58:14Speaker 1: for me to think Oklahoma can close out eight. No,
- 58:16Speaker 1: because I don't think you'll be able to fix all
- 58:17Speaker 1: your offensive problems fast enough to do that. But I
- 58:20Speaker 1: do not think it's ridiculous for them to not to
- 58:21Speaker 1: finish the season with nine wins and getting seven. I
- 58:25Speaker 1: think Florida is the one that they will definitely lose.
- 58:31Speaker 1: That run game, the pass game, everything they're doing right now.
- 58:35Speaker 1: Buster is frying everybody. Um, If you look at the
- 58:40Speaker 1: advanced numbers, Texas defense is really good. Their offense is
- 58:43Speaker 1: mediocre like ours, but not as turnover friendly as ours.
- 58:48Speaker 1: John just likes fumbling the ball more than Arch does,
- 58:50Speaker 1: but they throw about the same amount when it comes
- 58:52Speaker 1: to interceptions. Ole Miss got a little bit of exposure.
- 58:57Speaker 1: Their defense is not as good as people thunk. Their
- 59:00Speaker 1: offense is still explosive. That's a game that I also
- 59:02Speaker 1: have circled as probably will lose, but you can still
- 59:06Speaker 1: possibly win. You're at home. There's a chance that you
- 59:08Speaker 1: could figure out how to make that happen. A & M,
- 59:11Speaker 1: I don't think A & M' s good enough. I am
- 59:13Speaker 1: out on them like I was at the beginning of
- 59:16Speaker 1: the season, specifically because they've got two new coordinators and
- 59:19Speaker 1: their new OC has Marcel rethrown it 50 times. That
- 59:22Speaker 1: just sounds like a recipe for disaster. Period. Missouri, sleeper.
- 59:30Speaker 1: They're a sleeper team. I think Missouri is one of
- 59:33Speaker 1: those sneaky squads that could be a lot better. Austin
- 59:37Speaker 1: Simmons is actually having a good season right now. But
- 59:42Speaker 1: that loss to Mississippi State told me, yeah, they're not
- 59:46Speaker 1: going to be able to close like you want. They
- 59:47Speaker 1: need Ahmad Hardy. They had Ahmad Hardy, they would have
- 59:50Speaker 1: beat Mississippi State.
- 59:53Speaker 2: I think, yeah.
- 59:54Speaker 1: And I don't think he comes back. Why? Why?
- 1:00:00Speaker 2: Like, why?
- 1:00:01Speaker 3: Like, at this point, let's just be honest, like, you know,
- 1:00:06Speaker 3: especially as a running back, why would you– I mean,
- 1:00:09Speaker 3: unless Missouri is legitimately, like, in the race for the
- 1:00:13Speaker 3: SEC championship, you know, game, I don't understand why he
- 1:00:16Speaker 3: comes back.
- 1:00:17Speaker 2: Because, I mean, you come back and put three games
- 1:00:20Speaker 2: on film.
- 1:00:21Speaker 3: Like, what benefit are you putting on– what positivity are
- 1:00:25Speaker 3: you putting on film at this point in your career
- 1:00:28Speaker 3: as a running back that hasn't been shown already. Like,
- 1:00:33Speaker 3: I just wouldn't do it. Now, I also think this.
- 1:00:37Speaker 3: I think that we're going to be looking at Missouri
- 1:00:40Speaker 3: yet again. You know, we went down there with Jackson.
- 1:00:43Speaker 3: He legitimately fumbled the game away. But I just think
- 1:00:47Speaker 3: having that as that last game of the year, that
- 1:00:51Speaker 3: may be the one that determines whether we have six wins,
- 1:00:54Speaker 3: seven wins, or maybe eight wins. But I'm going to
- 1:01:00Speaker 3: I see somebody in here, and I don't want to
- 1:01:03Speaker 3: make you feel bad, but let's just keep the playoff
- 1:01:07Speaker 3: word for future endeavors because OU got in last year
- 1:01:16Speaker 3: over a lot of different people because a stifling defense
- 1:01:19Speaker 3: and people saw what John could be when healthy, and
- 1:01:24Speaker 3: he just seemed to be squeezing whatever juice.
- 1:01:26Speaker 2: He needed, and that's why you get in. This year.
- 1:01:30Speaker 3: we have been put on display for the entire country
- 1:01:34Speaker 3: to see, like, people are, you know, getting clicks by,
- 1:01:38Speaker 3: is John Mateer broken across, like, there's so many other
- 1:01:41Speaker 3: stories you could be talking about. Freaking John Mateer sure
- 1:01:43Speaker 3: as hell shouldn't be one of them. There are a
- 1:01:46Speaker 3: lot of stories. So people are doing it because we're
- 1:01:50Speaker 3: the laughing stock. Nobody's, I can promise you this, at
- 1:01:54Speaker 3: nine and three, they won't even bring up our name. Yeah.
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: No, I 100% agree with you on that one. And,
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: The defense is good enough. We've seen the defense win games.
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: You just can't do it against really, really good teams
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball. Georgia is really, really
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: good on both sides of the ball. You gave Michigan away.
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: You shouldn't have. If you keep giving the game away,
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: like just as Kirby Smart said, the Sooners beat the Sooners.
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: If we keep beating ourselves, we're not going to win
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: because the defense can and has shown that they can
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: win games that we're not supposed to win. Period. They've
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: shown that they can do that. Jonathan, it's a good point.
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: We have seen him throw people open. Why can't he
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: do it now? Man, that man needs to go to
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: a psychologist, a therapist. I think it was on the
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: Oklahoma breakdown. They were talking about going to an alcoholics
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: and just go talk it out. It's just something broken.
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: Just go talk it out. You gotta go talk it
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: out somewhere. What is it that, why are you, what
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: are you afraid of? What's, making you hesitate. Forget what
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: the fans think. Go perform. I think that's my thing
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: with him. I don't care what fans think. Go perform.
- 1:03:10Speaker 1: Be better at that.
- 1:03:13Speaker 2: I started off the day saying this.
- 1:03:17Speaker 3: John literally had moments, and that offense had moments where
- 1:03:21Speaker 3: it looked like we got the crap figured out. If
- 1:03:24Speaker 3: you just took clips of Not the entire game, but
- 1:03:30Speaker 3: if you took clips out, you're like, thank God they
- 1:03:33Speaker 3: fixed the offense. And there were other times it said
- 1:03:37Speaker 3: it got worse. It's continually getting worse. And I think
- 1:03:41Speaker 3: that's the most damning and frustrating thing for that game
- 1:03:45Speaker 3: this past weekend is because for all of us who
- 1:03:49Speaker 3: were at a spot to where– tell me, just truthfully,
- 1:03:53Speaker 3: tell me in the chat.
- 1:03:53Speaker 2: I want to hear it.
- 1:03:55Speaker 3: At the goal line– down 14 to nothing, you could
- 1:03:59Speaker 3: see the guy wide open in real time. How many
- 1:04:02Speaker 3: of you guys all of a sudden thought, we're going
- 1:04:04Speaker 3: to come back and win this? Like, how many were
- 1:04:06Speaker 3: starting to tell themselves, we can come back and win
- 1:04:08Speaker 3: this game? After the first couple minutes of that game
- 1:04:11Speaker 3: were hideous. But you saw it get there, and that's
- 1:04:15Speaker 3: why it's so frustrating, is because it's all of a
- 1:04:18Speaker 3: sudden there, and it's like the scene in Tommy Boy,
- 1:04:21Speaker 3: when he's like, so this is my sale, and he
- 1:04:23Speaker 3: has the roll, and he's like, so I I pet
- 1:04:25Speaker 3: my sale and.
- 1:04:25Speaker 2: I, and then he's, and it just goes crazy.
- 1:04:27Speaker 3: Like it, that's what John did and has done for
- 1:04:32Speaker 3: a couple different moments. Uh, you know, in Texas you
- 1:04:36Speaker 3: saw it. It's almost like, it's almost like you saw
- 1:04:42Speaker 3: against Texas. He thought I have to do everything. And
- 1:04:47Speaker 3: it was awful. And then last, then this past week
- 1:04:50Speaker 3: it was like, I have to do everything.
- 1:04:53Speaker 2: And it was awful.
- 1:04:54Speaker 3: And so I don't, I think the thing he needs
- 1:04:56Speaker 3: to understand is like, you don't have to, we will
- 1:04:59Speaker 3: win together or we will lose together, but it will
- 1:05:01Speaker 3: be together one way or the other.
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: It needs to be together. And that's exactly what it is. So,
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: all right, let's get out of here. I, yeah, I
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: hear the kiddos in the background. They're probably ready for
- 1:05:12Speaker 1: you to come out and, uh, and battle with them
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: or whatnot.
- 1:05:14Speaker 3: So it's the, it's the puppy. They, the puppy. So
- 1:05:19Speaker 3: it's an 11 week old miniature dachshund. Looks like a
- 1:05:21Speaker 3: little beagle. um, new, new little puppy. And, uh, they
- 1:05:26Speaker 3: try to wear out right before bed because otherwise it's just,
- 1:05:29Speaker 3: it's just nuts.
- 1:05:30Speaker 2: But anyway, um, that's a lot of fun there.
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: You go enjoy the pup. I'm going to go find food.
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: I got some other work I need to do as well.
