Done and done.
Awesome.

00:01:09,900 --> 00:01:11,900
Congrats on that.
You've been working on that

9
00:01:11,900 --> 00:01:17,000
project pretty much all fall.
So to, uh, too long.

10
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:24,100
Good job on that nail now he
rolls in gets us rolling within

11
00:01:24,100 --> 00:01:26,700
like 15 minutes even more kudos
to you.

12
00:01:27,100 --> 00:01:30,700
I was expecting to be on at
10:30 10:45, but you're banging

13
00:01:30,700 --> 00:01:34,500
it, dude, you're crushing.
Today, got a knock it out, fast

14
00:01:34,500 --> 00:01:36,200
man.
Gotta get Gotta Get It rolling

15
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:41,300
and yeah, it's, it was a, it was
an interesting time.

16
00:01:41,300 --> 00:01:45,200
We kind of got there, a little
ahead and did a little run

17
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,000
through together before he went
in there and went live.

18
00:01:48,100 --> 00:01:52,100
Live, but it went well.
And now, we're here talking some

19
00:01:52,100 --> 00:01:55,600
Hokies talking Duke preview this
week.

20
00:01:55,700 --> 00:01:57,700
We got some other big news.
We're going to hit first,

21
00:01:57,700 --> 00:02:01,100
though.
Absolutely lot to unload this

22
00:02:01,100 --> 00:02:04,000
week because it has been one
heck of a week since we last

23
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,000
talked on Sunday and we're going
to start with basically all the

24
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,800
coaching movement.
I mean, let's start first with

25
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,500
probably the big one and
something hook you related tithe

26
00:02:14,500 --> 00:02:18,000
Grantham out at floor along with
offensive lineman John.

27
00:02:18,100 --> 00:02:22,400
Cvcc, Dan.
Mullen was already on the hot

28
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,100
seat.
They get the doors blown off on

29
00:02:25,100 --> 00:02:27,800
by South Carolina.
He cuts Grantham go.

30
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,100
He had already fired members, a
defensive staff.

31
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,300
Last season.
Yep.

32
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:42,400
I mean People are going to say,
well, what about Grantham to

33
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,100
Tech?
What do you say to that, Brian?

34
00:02:44,500 --> 00:02:50,800
No, no, no, no, it's not going
to happen either.

35
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,600
Any, there's a few things, I
mean, number one, we look at

36
00:02:55,100 --> 00:02:58,900
just what's happened over the
last few years with that

37
00:02:58,900 --> 00:03:02,200
Defense.
Number two, let's talk about

38
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,400
there's a reason that grant them
hadn't had a head coaching job

39
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,900
to this point.
Heroes folks the wrong way.

40
00:03:09,900 --> 00:03:13,800
He's not necessarily a guy
that's going to wheel and deal

41
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:18,600
with the donors very well.
And he could be a guy that is

42
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,700
abrasive enough with some of his
staff that guys might not want

43
00:03:22,700 --> 00:03:25,400
to stay long-term.
So I think those things are just

44
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:31,200
playing into it where it just
he's a at best a coordinator guy

45
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:35,400
that can kind of Silo everything
and work within a in his own

46
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,800
world there but it's not
somebody that Can really do all

47
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,200
the things that you need from a
coach especially at the power 5

48
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:49,200
level abso-freakin'-lutely.
And it's I think the question is

49
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,400
now ask is what deep with this
move is Dan Mullen.

50
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,100
Essentially.
Cool to see it a little bit.

51
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,200
Okay, that's the question.
Did he?

52
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:02,100
Did he punt the the firing of
himself out at least another

53
00:04:02,100 --> 00:04:03,600
season?
Are they going to say?

54
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,700
Alright, you did, you did the
right thing here.

55
00:04:05,700 --> 00:04:10,100
We're going to give you one more
chance to get the right guys in

56
00:04:10,100 --> 00:04:14,500
house and to at the very least
when the games that should be

57
00:04:14,500 --> 00:04:16,399
winnable on your schedule.
And that's the problem with

58
00:04:16,399 --> 00:04:19,600
Florida, this year is, it's not
that they're not competing for

59
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,600
SEC East is that they're losing
games, they shouldn't.

60
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,700
And that's the biggest issue.
So it's going to to be really

61
00:04:25,700 --> 00:04:29,700
interesting to see, or is this a
move pull by the athletic

62
00:04:29,700 --> 00:04:33,400
department to try to start
cutting people off now to start

63
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,000
the good people?
I mean, it's going to be really

64
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:37,800
interesting to see what happens
after the Florida.

65
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,600
State game Thanksgiving weekend.
Next one.

66
00:04:41,700 --> 00:04:45,600
Texas Tech is no longer open
before when they cannot go

67
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,300
there.
John McGraw, get tired.

68
00:04:48,300 --> 00:04:51,500
He had been in a HC and
linebackers coach at Baylor

69
00:04:51,500 --> 00:04:55,900
since 2016 with Matt rule.
He stayed over into the Dave,

70
00:04:55,900 --> 00:05:00,800
Aranda, his big piece is he
basically coach down at Cedar

71
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,700
Hill, a pretty big Powerhouse
down in Texas for close to 15

72
00:05:04,700 --> 00:05:09,700
years.
Earlier today guys all

73
00:05:09,700 --> 00:05:12,300
conversations like how did this
guy get hired?

74
00:05:12,300 --> 00:05:14,500
He wasn't an OC.
He'd never been.

75
00:05:15,500 --> 00:05:19,800
I guarantee you.
Joey McGuire knows every good

76
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,400
football program and good.
Head coach in the high school

77
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:29,000
room in the state of Texas, and
if you have and you got to know

78
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,400
it and that's the thing because
Texas Tech isn't, I mean,

79
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:34,900
they're really what you would
consider.

80
00:05:34,900 --> 00:05:37,500
I would say a third, tier Texas
team Right.

81
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:43,100
They're probably a hair below
the TC using Baylor's, they

82
00:05:43,100 --> 00:05:46,600
Teeter, they teach ya.
You're the cheater, I'll give

83
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,400
them that.
But, but here they are, your

84
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:54,600
whole, at least in the last
five, to ten years, you consider

85
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,000
them a step below the tcu's in
the Baylor's.

86
00:05:57,500 --> 00:06:01,800
Exactly, exactly.
So if you're trying to compete

87
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:06,100
against those other schools for
profile profile recruits, you

88
00:06:06,100 --> 00:06:09,600
better have good relationships.
In your state.

89
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,900
And also with those good
relationship, he's going to be

90
00:06:12,900 --> 00:06:15,800
able to find those guys that are
flying under the radar for some

91
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,700
of the, the higher up schools.
So, I think that those

92
00:06:18,700 --> 00:06:23,500
relationships are going to play
into this being a pretty good

93
00:06:23,500 --> 00:06:25,400
higher for them.
I don't think, I mean, it's not

94
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:29,600
flashy, it's very much a.
I mean, it's probably a very

95
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:34,500
Mike young higher, right?
For them except except for for a

96
00:06:34,508 --> 00:06:37,000
guy that doesn't, he doesn't
have the experience at that.

97
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,900
The head coach.
Being.

98
00:06:38,900 --> 00:06:43,200
But in terms of a guy that's
seems to be a good culture, fit

99
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:47,000
a good person that knows the
area that he's going to be

100
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,200
handling a lot.
It seems like that type of

101
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,800
higher for them.
Yeah, I think it's a good height

102
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:56,800
for them because of what you
said about the not the top-tier

103
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,500
guys, but knowing the second and
third, tier recruits out of

104
00:07:00,500 --> 00:07:02,100
Texas to start building the
program.

105
00:07:02,500 --> 00:07:04,700
That program can be good.
We saw it under my cleats, for

106
00:07:04,700 --> 00:07:08,100
basically a decade until Craig.
James has kid basically got him

107
00:07:08,100 --> 00:07:11,000
fired.
Tired and they have been nothing

108
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:12,600
since then.
Yep.

109
00:07:12,700 --> 00:07:16,000
All right.
So you know it continues to go

110
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,600
on Jimmy Lake in playing on
Washington.

111
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,300
He's only been there for two
seasons.

112
00:07:21,300 --> 00:07:26,500
John Donovan out is OC, not
really affecting too much.

113
00:07:26,500 --> 00:07:30,200
This is not an East Coast thing,
but I think you see a trend here

114
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,100
and when we get to the last one
is the big one.

115
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,400
That what, what could have saved
just in one day?

116
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,700
These guys are doing, right?
Yeah.

117
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,500
You see a, you see a
underperforming part of your

118
00:07:41,500 --> 00:07:43,900
team cut the guy?
Let him go.

119
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,800
That's the only way you're going
to be saved.

120
00:07:45,900 --> 00:07:49,500
Is because it's Tonight in
action, when you attempt to take

121
00:07:49,500 --> 00:07:52,500
action on something that is a
problem.

122
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:57,500
Most people say he can recognize
it, we have to give him more

123
00:07:57,500 --> 00:08:02,300
time to see if he actually can
fix it but you know Lakes a

124
00:08:02,308 --> 00:08:07,800
defensive guy so him him being a
head coach just chopping off

125
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,800
saying I don't want to say this
I feel like it but ever would

126
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,900
have became a head coach.
This would have happened real

127
00:08:12,900 --> 00:08:17,100
quick in Blacksburg
record-keeping teams to 18

128
00:08:17,100 --> 00:08:20,300
points.
And we're losing your car.

129
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,600
Yeah.
And I think you know we've

130
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,300
talked about it a whole lot with
with getting rid of break or

131
00:08:26,300 --> 00:08:28,200
Nelson.
We said it as early as the end

132
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:32,700
of 2018, you could have made the
call definitely is as early as

133
00:08:32,700 --> 00:08:37,500
end of 2019 when it took Jerry
kill coming in and essentially

134
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,799
holding his hand through the
rest of the season to really

135
00:08:40,799 --> 00:08:46,500
muster an a twin campaign when,
you know, expectations were

136
00:08:46,500 --> 00:08:50,200
fairly High.
And early early returns were as

137
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:51,700
about as low as you can.
Imagine.

138
00:08:52,100 --> 00:08:55,700
Exactly.
And that brings us to the other

139
00:08:55,700 --> 00:08:58,800
one to the other vacancy that we
thought was going to be.

140
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:04,200
And now is not because Scott
Frost brought the hammer down

141
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,800
fired.
The Osceola line coach

142
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,600
quarterback coach running back.
Coach wide.

143
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:16,400
Receiver coach is like saved,
can you imagine the wide

144
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,700
receiver coach?
Like sitting there.

145
00:09:20,100 --> 00:09:24,100
And coaches called the o.c. and
shitty fired him.

146
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:26,300
Next guy.
And way.

147
00:09:26,300 --> 00:09:29,000
Did the o.c. coach wide
receivers that might be?

148
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:30,500
No.
No, I don't think so.

149
00:09:30,500 --> 00:09:40,200
I think he was okay, but he went
hammer down, it only really been

150
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:44,700
there to normal years If we if
we're taking covid year aside

151
00:09:44,700 --> 00:09:46,700
he'd only been there, two normal
years.

152
00:09:46,900 --> 00:09:50,200
What he's doing is typically
what happens in third years of

153
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:54,200
most programs that are under
achievement You clean the, a

154
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:58,100
clean house.
Because of covid, you know,

155
00:09:58,100 --> 00:10:01,300
we're on a different timeline.
I'm sure his thought was weird

156
00:10:01,300 --> 00:10:04,700
season last year, I want to see
where we go this year because

157
00:10:04,700 --> 00:10:08,200
they're not losing games because
of their defense there.

158
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,900
I mean they held down and I know
there were some injured guys, on

159
00:10:11,900 --> 00:10:15,400
Ohio State.
The hello, how is take the 23?

160
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,200
That's impressive.
They kept it close enough where

161
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,300
they had a chance at the end to
make something happen and they

162
00:10:22,300 --> 00:10:24,100
just they couldn't couldn't get
it going.

163
00:10:25,300 --> 00:10:28,200
So he absolutely brings the
hammer down and I think with

164
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:32,000
that you can say Nebraska is he
on a hot seat going into next

165
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:37,100
year likely going to his year
five but I think what he's did

166
00:10:37,100 --> 00:10:40,300
is he's giving himself the
opportunity to wear.

167
00:10:40,300 --> 00:10:43,200
If they put a winning season
together he extends it one year

168
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,400
by saying you made the Right
Moves.

169
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:50,200
Put yourself in a good winning
position and now we're going to

170
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:51,900
give you.
You have a decent season.

171
00:10:51,900 --> 00:10:54,500
You get one more season to
really Excel if we can get to

172
00:10:54,500 --> 00:10:57,700
8:00 or Next year, then he
probably is safe.

173
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,500
Keeping a job again.
Take as long as they see, some

174
00:11:01,500 --> 00:11:06,000
sort of upward trajectory with
these changes, I think they'll

175
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:10,500
probably let it ride.
So what is it?

176
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,300
Can I ask you this?
Let's yeah, let's go to Scott

177
00:11:13,300 --> 00:11:17,000
Frost.
How easy would have fit that?

178
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,800
Be for Justin Fuente to go in
their experience offensive

179
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,800
coordinator?
Who's been a head coach who, you

180
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,600
know, know how to run offense,
you know, get some of the stuff

181
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,900
he does.
It has some pieces of what

182
00:11:28,900 --> 00:11:33,000
frosted it UCF, not everything,
but there's some, there's some

183
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:34,600
variations, there's some
overlap.

184
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:39,500
You think about the area?
He would probably bring Vice

185
00:11:39,500 --> 00:11:42,500
with them and like them Berg
being a Nebraska guy.

186
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,000
That's an interesting thing.
Again, in lot of this depends on

187
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:54,000
whether Fuente is wants to
continue being a head coach or

188
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:58,200
whether he would prefer to be a
powerful Ally of coordinator.

189
00:11:58,500 --> 00:12:00,300
He's not going to head coach job
right now.

190
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,500
He's not, not even, not even G5.
No.

191
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,200
Okay, unless he wants to scrape
bottom of the barrel like

192
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:13,100
Bowling Green.
I mean I mean or accurate like

193
00:12:13,100 --> 00:12:15,800
one of these absolutely dumpster
fire programs.

194
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,900
He's not doing a good piece of
G5, he's not good in a good G5

195
00:12:20,900 --> 00:12:23,400
job, okay?
Getting that makes sense.

196
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,600
He's not he's so he's
essentially not getting the any

197
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,500
of the puddle jump openings that
are coming open.

198
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,100
Exactly.
He's not going to get those

199
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,000
because I think what's going on
with him is he's going to have

200
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:40,200
to prove to because the, a do
80s at those schools, especially

201
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:45,500
you think about SMU and schools
like that they're making money.

202
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,900
They're having good attendance.
They're competing they're

203
00:12:48,900 --> 00:12:52,100
getting ranked.
You want to come in here after

204
00:12:52,100 --> 00:12:54,900
what you did there when you was
set up with a great situation

205
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,800
and you go on down to the really
low.

206
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:03,300
Rung, Texas states, where
basically, these are 12 to win

207
00:13:03,300 --> 00:13:06,100
teams and see what you can do,
maybe you can come back up

208
00:13:06,100 --> 00:13:09,500
eventually.
So that's my opinion on it.

209
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,100
You're probably not far off,
man.

210
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:17,200
I mean, we'll see that's going
to be it's going to be one of

211
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,500
those things.
I know some people will not when

212
00:13:19,500 --> 00:13:22,700
he gets fired.
Will not follow him.

213
00:13:22,700 --> 00:13:26,300
I will.
I will see, I want to see what

214
00:13:26,300 --> 00:13:30,200
he does elsewhere and to see if
it was truly, was it a, was it a

215
00:13:30,208 --> 00:13:33,700
truly bad fit?
Or was some of his coaching

216
00:13:33,700 --> 00:13:37,300
methods, essentially, 10 years
old and didn't work anymore.

217
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,300
And some of them, I'd be it,
just think things that you can

218
00:13:43,100 --> 00:13:45,100
things that your choices you
don't have to make as an

219
00:13:45,100 --> 00:13:48,500
offensive coordinator.
Now it they fall in your lap and

220
00:13:48,500 --> 00:13:53,200
he just not prepared to have the
right culture fit to make those

221
00:13:53,300 --> 00:13:56,500
those work long-term.
ERM absolutely.

222
00:13:56,500 --> 00:14:00,800
And some of that is how things
are relating with players, some

223
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,200
of its how punishments are being
handed down.

224
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,400
And so some of that's been out
of his hands but some of it has

225
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,700
been in.
His hands has been potentially

226
00:14:09,700 --> 00:14:12,700
questionable as far as how
things were handled.

227
00:14:12,700 --> 00:14:17,400
So and that's that's things as a
head coach that you don't

228
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,700
necessarily have to think about
too much as a coordinator.

229
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,500
Exactly.
So some of those things get

230
00:14:23,500 --> 00:14:26,400
taken off his plate.
Exactly.

231
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,700
All right, let's roll on here.
College football, playoff

232
00:14:30,700 --> 00:14:34,000
rankings, come out last night,
and here's the order.

233
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,000
George it, number one, no shock
there.

234
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,400
Alabama, stays put it number
two, I don't know why we

235
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,800
punished other teams for not
having good games against

236
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,400
inferior opponents, but not
them.

237
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:51,000
They are essentially Teflon.
Organ jumps, one up to number

238
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:55,700
three, Ohio state is now number
four since he gets a bump up to

239
00:14:55,700 --> 00:14:59,700
number five, right outside in
Michigan is number six.

240
00:15:04,100 --> 00:15:09,300
Right, so there's something a
little bit different this week

241
00:15:09,300 --> 00:15:11,900
than last week, right?
Yeah.

242
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,600
Last week, they talked about
head-to-head matchups, that's

243
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,400
why organ was ahead of Ohio
State.

244
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,500
This week.
It seems like they do not want

245
00:15:22,500 --> 00:15:26,300
to deal with that with Michigan
State beating Michigan, two

246
00:15:26,300 --> 00:15:33,600
weeks ago, Michigan State's it
seven And I know it in the long

247
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,200
run in the long scheme of
things.

248
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,900
It doesn't matter if Michigan
State went beat Penn State, and

249
00:15:37,900 --> 00:15:40,500
they beat Ohio State there in
the Big Ten championship and

250
00:15:40,500 --> 00:15:44,800
they're going to probably be in
but it's just hope flip-flop,

251
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,100
right?
Like last week this really

252
00:15:47,100 --> 00:15:52,000
matters this week kind of
matters just when we need it to

253
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,000
matter.
Well, I think that's the thing,

254
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:59,300
it's very arbitrary when they
apply certain rules.

255
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:03,200
Sometimes, you know, We talked
about it last season, sometimes

256
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,800
the extra Conference
Championship game matters, and

257
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:11,700
then sometimes it doesn't,
sometimes flat-out winning your

258
00:16:11,700 --> 00:16:15,700
conference matters, and
sometimes it doesn't sometimes

259
00:16:15,700 --> 00:16:19,100
head-to-head matchups matter.
But if you're Alabama or

260
00:16:19,100 --> 00:16:26,200
Michigan, they apparently don't.
The hamster in the list goes on

261
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:31,600
and it wouldn't bother me if it
was consistent. you know, if you

262
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,100
have your criteria, you have
your criteria, you know, and

263
00:16:35,100 --> 00:16:40,900
we've seen in the past that They
care more about, I test than

264
00:16:41,300 --> 00:16:44,700
necessarily record overall
record in terms of having.

265
00:16:44,900 --> 00:16:47,200
Whether it's an extra win in the
conference Championship Game,

266
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,300
you know, whatever it may be
fine.

267
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,400
That's that's at least been
somewhat consistent.

268
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,000
But what hasn't been consistent
is how they gauge head-to-head

269
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:00,000
matchups with a similar record.
Yeah.

270
00:17:00,700 --> 00:17:03,600
So if you've got I mean if
you've got the same record you

271
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,700
would think the head-to-head
matchup would be kind of the

272
00:17:05,700 --> 00:17:09,700
trump card, unless the loss is a
very bad loss.

273
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,700
Yeah.
Unless the loss is something

274
00:17:12,700 --> 00:17:16,500
like if Michigan state had lost
to like a one-in-six Purdue.

275
00:17:16,599 --> 00:17:19,700
Yeah, like nope.
They got lucky against Michigan

276
00:17:19,700 --> 00:17:23,599
and the luck ran out against
Purdue, but in this case, they

277
00:17:23,599 --> 00:17:25,599
rank Purdue this week.
Yeah.

278
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:31,800
So Oklahoma State.
Eight, Oklahoma has to top 15

279
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:36,600
games in the next month.
If Oklahoma beats Baylor and

280
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,300
they beat Oklahoma State, and
then they beat them again.

281
00:17:39,300 --> 00:17:40,800
They're in.
Yep.

282
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:47,900
That you can't keep them out.
So this is the way this year

283
00:17:47,900 --> 00:17:50,400
shaping is why it should be 12
teams.

284
00:17:51,100 --> 00:17:55,200
Because the way this year is
shaping, right now, the 12 team

285
00:17:55,200 --> 00:18:01,000
would be wait for sedating one.
There, Texas A&M is the only two

286
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,500
lost team in the top 12.
Yeah.

287
00:18:03,900 --> 00:18:08,300
So again, it's more and more
everything that shakes out in

288
00:18:08,308 --> 00:18:11,900
the next month in the end people
are going to be like, this is

289
00:18:11,900 --> 00:18:15,300
why we need to go to 12 and
they're going to probably get

290
00:18:15,300 --> 00:18:16,800
pushed hard even though they
stopped.

291
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:22,000
If this, this is kind of the
first year, I'd say that even

292
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:28,100
the early early polls have been
well, the early early Rankings

293
00:18:28,100 --> 00:18:33,000
have been controversial.
Like really controversial and

294
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,400
not just down the line.
I mean, down the line is always

295
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,700
been.
Oh, I can make an argument that,

296
00:18:39,100 --> 00:18:41,600
you know, how the 10th ranked
team, should be the sixth ranked

297
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,100
team or something like that, but
you but usually the first five

298
00:18:44,100 --> 00:18:49,700
or six are fairly written in
pen.

299
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:54,100
Yep, I've already barring any
losses that happened this year.

300
00:18:54,100 --> 00:18:57,300
It's very, very questionable and
it's showing the floor.

301
00:18:57,500 --> 00:19:00,800
How's that when you start having
a number of head-to-head

302
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:04,300
matchups against teams that are
in that top eight range, right?

303
00:19:05,900 --> 00:19:09,000
It's definitely trending towards
they care a whole lot more about

304
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,500
I test than they do about
head-to-heads exactly.

305
00:19:13,300 --> 00:19:17,400
Right, we'll roll on and brine.
The next thing we're going to

306
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,500
hit here in just a little bit.
I feel like we got to go deep

307
00:19:19,500 --> 00:19:23,000
dive on this.
Probably in January, the new

308
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:29,100
potential.
Draft of a NCAA Constitution,

309
00:19:29,100 --> 00:19:32,800
essentially given more powers to
the school different at each

310
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:41,500
level, you know, D1 D2 D3.
What do you think of it?

311
00:19:41,500 --> 00:19:43,200
Is it a step in the right
direction?

312
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:47,400
Or is it too late?
Both.

313
00:19:50,100 --> 00:19:54,300
It's absolutely a better
situation than what we've been

314
00:19:54,300 --> 00:19:58,000
dealing with.
This should have been addressed

315
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:04,900
probably five to ten years ago
if you want addressed.

316
00:20:04,900 --> 00:20:06,500
It five at five to ten years
ago.

317
00:20:06,500 --> 00:20:08,900
You probably wouldn't have a lot
of the problems that you're

318
00:20:08,900 --> 00:20:14,200
having now.
Probably name image and likeness

319
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,900
would have been a whole lot
smoother of a transition.

320
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,200
So yeah, I mean, I think it's
it's a good move.

321
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:28,600
It's just not timely know it's
real but it's always something.

322
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,300
You've always said about the
NCAA, if they dare reactionary,

323
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,700
they are reactionary.
They are not a proactive

324
00:20:34,700 --> 00:20:38,200
organization, they're very
reactionary organization and

325
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,900
everything that's happened in
the last really 18 months.

326
00:20:40,900 --> 00:20:45,000
It took them this long and to
get this together, we're in

327
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:49,400
reality, you said it five to ten
years ago at worst three years

328
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,300
ago they should have had
something like this coming down

329
00:20:51,300 --> 00:20:55,100
the pipe, it will be really
interesting the final version

330
00:20:55,300 --> 00:20:57,900
and I'm sure sometime in
February or March when the final

331
00:20:57,900 --> 00:21:00,700
version is released and
approved, will sit here and talk

332
00:21:00,700 --> 00:21:04,500
about an hour with it about
everything in the grainy, yummy

333
00:21:04,500 --> 00:21:08,000
details.
So, we'll move on from that

334
00:21:08,500 --> 00:21:11,800
Brian.
I did not get to watch it last.

335
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,700
Might but I followed closely on
my phone.

336
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:20,600
The Hokies men open the twenty
twenty one twenty twenty-two

337
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:27,800
season with an absolute curb
stomping of Maine, 82. 47 first

338
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,800
before I go?
Did you get a chance to watch

339
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,300
any of it?
Or were you like me following?

340
00:21:32,300 --> 00:21:34,300
I watched it from start to
finish buddy.

341
00:21:35,900 --> 00:21:40,100
Yes, we are behind on
Yellowstone and we had to punish

342
00:21:40,100 --> 00:21:43,700
season 3 last night.
Add to I wasn't going to.

343
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,700
I told wifey I was like, listen,
we're going to finish this

344
00:21:47,700 --> 00:21:50,300
tonight.
We'll stay up a little later so

345
00:21:50,700 --> 00:21:53,500
give me some details.
Who look good, you know, look

346
00:21:53,500 --> 00:21:55,900
like much.
Look good looks like somebody's

347
00:21:55,900 --> 00:21:59,700
look.
Good David and look great. 7 for

348
00:21:59,700 --> 00:22:04,700
7 from the field. 15 points,
having having him look more

349
00:22:04,700 --> 00:22:07,400
aggressive at the offensive end
is going to be great for this

350
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:11,700
team.
Front Court looked impressive.

351
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,400
And that's even with a looming,
not really having his best

352
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,900
night.
So I'm really, I'm really

353
00:22:18,900 --> 00:22:23,900
excited about what I'm seeing
there and I think this just from

354
00:22:23,900 --> 00:22:27,500
depth perception standpoint, I
know there was some loss in the

355
00:22:27,500 --> 00:22:33,100
in the portal but guys are
stepping up guys are moving into

356
00:22:33,100 --> 00:22:35,700
roles.
So I'm hoping that that that

357
00:22:35,700 --> 00:22:39,800
Trend continues because you
know, we put a kind of a second

358
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,000
unit out there and we didn't see
a ton of drop off.

359
00:22:42,100 --> 00:22:45,000
And the first unit is pretty
damn good on its own.

360
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,900
So oh yeah.
The first unit really really

361
00:22:47,900 --> 00:22:52,500
good and some what I think I saw
maybe it's Dave and cutting and

362
00:22:52,500 --> 00:22:58,600
someone said This is the type of
Team, Mike young ones.

363
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,100
Yeah, not last year.
Last year they played

364
00:23:02,700 --> 00:23:06,800
unbelievable with missing the
key cogs but like the way this

365
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:11,700
team is constructed is exactly
how he wants it and you know,

366
00:23:11,700 --> 00:23:16,300
nguesso motion offense and yes
it's on the three and and that

367
00:23:16,300 --> 00:23:20,400
that's definitely personnel-wise
it aligns more with those values

368
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,300
this year.
I mean and you know they shot 43

369
00:23:23,300 --> 00:23:26,100
percent from three.
That's if they You'd 40-plus

370
00:23:26,300 --> 00:23:28,100
every game.
They're going to be in every

371
00:23:28,100 --> 00:23:32,800
game.
Yeah, every game did get out

372
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:36,300
rebounded, always a concern.
That's, that's the big thing.

373
00:23:36,300 --> 00:23:40,500
And it's interesting.
It, there were a couple folks

374
00:23:40,500 --> 00:23:43,700
that were like selectively
active and then there were a

375
00:23:43,708 --> 00:23:48,700
couple like I felt like position
was given a little bit too easy.

376
00:23:49,500 --> 00:23:51,700
That's definitely something
that's correctable and that's

377
00:23:51,700 --> 00:23:55,100
definitely something that, you
know, you can kind of work.

378
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:59,900
And as the season goes along and
probably a little bit of the,

379
00:23:59,900 --> 00:24:03,400
the defensive match up on the
perimeter, could be better.

380
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,800
But in terms of overall
performance, I mean, there's not

381
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,500
a whole lot to critique their
rebounding aside.

382
00:24:11,300 --> 00:24:14,100
Yep, next game, Friday against
Navy.

383
00:24:14,100 --> 00:24:17,100
Obviously, Navy coming off, if
you didn't read, maybe beat

384
00:24:17,100 --> 00:24:21,500
number 25 UVA last night.
So by game, they got a by game

385
00:24:21,700 --> 00:24:24,500
against UVA.
Yes.

386
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,300
Yes.
So Friday night.

387
00:24:27,300 --> 00:24:30,000
Check it out.
I think it's going to be, let's

388
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,000
see.
I think it is going to be

389
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,800
somewhere to be 8:30 Friday
night.

390
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,100
CBS Sports Network.
There we go.

391
00:24:39,700 --> 00:24:42,600
So it will be on TV.
All right.

392
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:46,000
Brian the follow-up, entree.
I don't know if you had a chance

393
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:52,600
to listen to the presser any
today or yesterday when it Yay.

394
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:57,200
Nay I unfortunately have missed
pretty much everything.

395
00:25:00,100 --> 00:25:03,200
Well, basically, this is what
going to be said.

396
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,600
And again, he never really
acknowledged what he said Friday

397
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,500
night and I wish someone would
have put him to the fire saying

398
00:25:10,500 --> 00:25:14,900
when did you really know?
Because like the way he was

399
00:25:14,900 --> 00:25:17,600
talking it's like he was at
practice and he was able to run

400
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:22,600
around and do things and he saw
a specialist On Wednesday, he

401
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,600
didn't really affect him while
he was playing.

402
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:28,000
They said, they said Saturday
night or Friday night when he

403
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,200
was doing the presser.
He had a tough time talking and

404
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,600
he apologized to the press and
he had similar things coming

405
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:42,300
back home on Friday night from
BC, flying down, but And it

406
00:25:42,300 --> 00:25:46,500
gotten worse during the week,
the whole piece is if a guy's

407
00:25:46,500 --> 00:25:50,900
having any sort of breathing
issues, are you really going to

408
00:25:50,900 --> 00:25:55,500
have any thought of putting them
on a football field?

409
00:25:56,500 --> 00:25:58,600
At all.
And I don't care if it's

410
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,000
pulling, he's running around,
he's fine.

411
00:26:00,700 --> 00:26:03,400
He's having issues breathing at
times.

412
00:26:04,300 --> 00:26:07,100
You can't do that.
I think that's why we got the

413
00:26:07,100 --> 00:26:11,400
wind.
When we got the win last week

414
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:15,400
was he has some problems
breathing and I'm sure it was

415
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,800
like yeah he's not going to play
because if there is something

416
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:20,600
wrong and he gets popped the
wrong way.

417
00:26:21,100 --> 00:26:24,600
And essentially on the field of
play quits breathing.

418
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,000
Yeah you got a lawsuit on your
hands forever.

419
00:26:28,700 --> 00:26:31,400
Yeah.
And you know that's the

420
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:32,900
situation.
You actually want to approach

421
00:26:32,900 --> 00:26:36,900
with caution any time.
It's dealing with breathing

422
00:26:36,900 --> 00:26:40,400
heart, anything like that, you
want to You want to take that

423
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,800
slow and animal and make sure
you're making the right choice

424
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,600
there.
So I'm not again.

425
00:26:45,900 --> 00:26:50,100
I don't want to beat a dead
horse here, beat it, but just

426
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,500
communication man.
Communication and I think, I

427
00:26:54,500 --> 00:26:57,700
think that's the thing.
I mean, the fanbase genuinely

428
00:26:57,700 --> 00:27:01,600
cares about Trey Turner, not
just whether he's going to be on

429
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:08,000
the field, but what's going on?
Because we he's one of us.

430
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:12,000
I mean and how active He is on
Twitter with with the fan base

431
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:16,700
and just his outright love of
Hokie nation in general.

432
00:27:16,700 --> 00:27:20,400
I mean, we feel that.
So I mean, players like that,

433
00:27:22,100 --> 00:27:24,800
and not to Discount any other
player, but obviously players

434
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:28,600
that are like that and really
taking an effort to engage with

435
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:33,200
fans fans care about fans, want
to know what's going on, and I'm

436
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:37,400
not saying you gotta your
divulge, every little detail

437
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:41,900
about an injury, but definitely
need to clearly communicate when

438
00:27:41,900 --> 00:27:46,600
you knew he was not going to go.
Because once you once you did

439
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:51,000
once you communicated at very,
vaguely then people started

440
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:55,300
asking questions and I'm sorry,
but I'll say this again, we're

441
00:27:55,300 --> 00:27:59,800
beyond the point where Fuentes
getting benefit of the doubt

442
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,900
from a majority of the fan base.
So he's got a essentially

443
00:28:02,900 --> 00:28:06,500
account for that when he's
making his statements as well.

444
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:12,000
Yeah.
So again what he should have

445
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:16,600
addressed was probably what he
could have said and this would

446
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:20,800
have been resolved with
everything he was practicing, I

447
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,500
thought he was going to play
your point was it was a

448
00:28:23,500 --> 00:28:26,400
communication issue.
Sounds like between him and the

449
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:31,100
training staff.
We're again, you have to tell it

450
00:28:31,100 --> 00:28:34,100
and I think maybe it's how
closed off he is.

451
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,000
The introvert.
He is where those guys like,

452
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,400
well, we need to tell him and
like, but it's tough to get him

453
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,700
yada yada, but we'll move on
from that.

454
00:28:44,300 --> 00:28:47,600
It's going to be a great weekend
up at Virginia Tech.

455
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:52,400
Brian, it's poke Hall of Fame
weekend and there are seven.

456
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,900
Folks going in going to mention
them all here, just to give them

457
00:28:55,900 --> 00:28:58,500
a little Kudos.
The first we look at Jackie

458
00:28:58,500 --> 00:29:01,100
develop Hendrick.
She was a swimmer and diver back

459
00:29:01,100 --> 00:29:04,900
in the late 1990s to tie me 10,
most outstanding diver.

460
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,700
Still holds the school record in
one meter diving off Time

461
00:29:08,700 --> 00:29:14,700
conference Champion.
So obviously you know

462
00:29:14,700 --> 00:29:18,800
unbelievable there.
Then we get into the track stars

463
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,300
in man, I can still remember the
name.

464
00:29:21,300 --> 00:29:25,300
Queen Harrison.
I mean, if you are if you lived

465
00:29:25,300 --> 00:29:29,000
in the state of Virginia Union,
who Queen Harrison was

466
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:35,100
three-time NCAA champion and
Olympian in 2008, you know, It

467
00:29:35,100 --> 00:29:41,200
to Beijing from Richmond.
Just unbelievable star.

468
00:29:43,500 --> 00:29:49,200
You know what more can be said
about her in the mid-2000s.

469
00:29:49,300 --> 00:29:53,900
As far as Olympic track goes, at
the Virginia and Virginia Tech,

470
00:29:54,700 --> 00:30:00,100
then another track star, Kristin
Kathleen about the same time,

471
00:30:00,100 --> 00:30:04,500
period, 7, time All-American
want to bronze at the 2016 in

472
00:30:04,500 --> 00:30:10,000
the 100-meter hurdles.
You know, the most individual

473
00:30:10,900 --> 00:30:13,500
All-American honors for any
Virginia Tech student athlete

474
00:30:14,100 --> 00:30:19,800
that crazy good.
Now, we get into names, we all

475
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:26,000
know, all know, and let's start
it with basketball gym on

476
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:30,600
Gordon.
I mean Jomon Gordon and defense

477
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:35,400
man.
Oh yeah, time they CC Defensive

478
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:42,000
Player of the Year back in 2006,
2007 on, you know, those are

479
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,800
shaky years and they weren't the
best years for Tech basketball

480
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,500
was coming on the bill, but he
was one of those guys who was

481
00:30:47,500 --> 00:30:51,900
there.
You know, part of that team that

482
00:30:52,100 --> 00:30:58,700
pulled the upset Or is he won a
game in 07 when they got on the

483
00:30:58,700 --> 00:31:03,200
tournament lost in the second
round it's really cool.

484
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:09,400
Kind of seeing guys you know
that we've seen go in and now

485
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:14,500
we're going to turn to the three
guys because the big three the

486
00:31:14,500 --> 00:31:20,700
first is he is d0 G of D.
Bu Tyrone.

487
00:31:20,700 --> 00:31:29,000
Drake 3rd, 1992. 1993 All
giggy's three times s and career

488
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,800
interception, jet Tech won a
Super Bowl with my beloved

489
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:38,000
49ers.
He set the standard for dvu.

490
00:31:38,300 --> 00:31:42,100
He did he did, and he was one of
those guys that came in, we,

491
00:31:42,100 --> 00:31:46,300
when we weren't a good program,
and by the time he left in 93,

492
00:31:47,100 --> 00:31:53,200
his Mark was made in 1992.
He intercepted seven.

493
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:58,000
Balls 7.
I think I think Housley broke

494
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,500
his record when he got eight
back that year, he was named an

495
00:32:01,500 --> 00:32:07,100
All-American, 16 total picks.
I'm looking at the some of the

496
00:32:07,100 --> 00:32:11,000
pictures here, the old uniforms,
you know, you know.

497
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:15,700
So let's break some Nostalgia
back in the second round, pick,

498
00:32:15,700 --> 00:32:18,200
he played in the NFL for about
seven years.

499
00:32:20,300 --> 00:32:24,800
But again, one of the, one of
the, one of the, one of the

500
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,000
Godfathers, one of the oh gee,
oh yeah, stand up.

501
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:30,200
Standard Bearer.
Who you want to talk about next

502
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,300
which of these two, which of
these two hits, your heart man

503
00:32:33,300 --> 00:32:35,500
to it.
These are two of my favorite

504
00:32:35,500 --> 00:32:40,800
all-time favorite Defenders.
Our favorite all-time like atg,

505
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:49,000
Let's start with Xavier adibi.
The X-Man X-Man, the X-Men.

506
00:32:49,100 --> 00:32:54,400
I mean, 603 2007.
We might have seen every game.

507
00:32:54,400 --> 00:33:02,100
He played in multiple in person.
Multiple in person, All-American

508
00:33:02,900 --> 00:33:08,000
part of the 06 and 07 ACC
championship teams came here,

509
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:14,300
brother, lineage And I remember
talking about him when we did

510
00:33:14,300 --> 00:33:18,000
the when we did the Mount
Rushmore men.

511
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,600
Yeah, just Punk pops off of the
tape.

512
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:25,200
Like it's not you see him out
there.

513
00:33:26,300 --> 00:33:33,200
Just big size can move and is
really the kind of the Prototype

514
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:37,800
that from thenceforth that the
backer position was judged

515
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:42,100
against.
Like, how close is he to Xavier

516
00:33:42,100 --> 00:33:44,200
like that?
That that's kind of the, that's

517
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:48,000
the standard of everyone who
came and you know, we had

518
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:58,700
Tremaine Edmunds, get close to
that very close and yeah, but

519
00:34:00,700 --> 00:34:05,300
the Godfather of the opposition,
he really made that his own and

520
00:34:05,300 --> 00:34:11,500
really showed what a versatile.
Acker could look like on the

521
00:34:11,500 --> 00:34:16,900
field between those big
interceptions, he had big hits

522
00:34:16,900 --> 00:34:20,900
stuff in the Run, getting out in
the flat and just lay in guys

523
00:34:20,900 --> 00:34:23,900
out.
That's what playing backers all

524
00:34:23,900 --> 00:34:26,199
about and he did it at a very
high level.

525
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,100
He did it man.
And over, you know, 40 games in

526
00:34:30,100 --> 00:34:39,199
his career started, 291 tackles
34 loss, 11 sacks And all you

527
00:34:39,199 --> 00:34:45,900
gotta always look back at 2007,
when literally, we were the

528
00:34:45,900 --> 00:34:47,300
number one defense in the
country.

529
00:34:48,199 --> 00:34:53,600
I think they gave up 11 points a
game 115, tackles 12 or loss,

530
00:34:54,300 --> 00:34:56,400
that means he's everywhere at
backer.

531
00:34:56,900 --> 00:35:00,000
Yep.
That's 10 plus a game which is

532
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:04,100
just crazy to think about crazy
to think about.

533
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:06,900
I'll let you do the honors with
the last one here.

534
00:35:07,300 --> 00:35:16,200
Well, I mean, I got men are be a
zone 5 star, high school,

535
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,500
All-American from Highland
Springs.

536
00:35:20,500 --> 00:35:25,400
From 2005 to 2008, he roamed the
defensive backfield.

537
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:32,500
And a unbelievable member of DBU
and Macho Harris.

538
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:38,700
Victor Macho Harris.
Joe, you know, shout out to

539
00:35:38,700 --> 00:35:41,900
Charlie Christian, who was a
coach at Highland Springs.

540
00:35:41,900 --> 00:35:44,500
When Macho was coming through
the ranks there.

541
00:35:47,300 --> 00:35:49,800
I mean, what more can you say
is?

542
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:56,800
First-team All-American?
He won an ACC title his senior

543
00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:01,300
year, six interceptions, eight
pass breakups.

544
00:36:02,300 --> 00:36:08,000
I mean and you know intercept,
if you threw him his way and he

545
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:12,700
jumped the ball, every
quarterback feared, it was going

546
00:36:12,700 --> 00:36:15,700
to get house because he was that
Dynamic of an athlete.

547
00:36:16,100 --> 00:36:19,300
If you that Dynamic of an
athlete, he wasn't a five-star

548
00:36:19,300 --> 00:36:22,500
for any reason.
I mean, No.

549
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:28,500
He was our program boundary
corner.

550
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,800
He was a boundary corner.
Right.

551
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,400
He was the epitome of it.
Either can come up, make a play

552
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,500
in The Run.
You got is going to stick to you

553
00:36:37,500 --> 00:36:39,000
in the past.
The guy that's going to house

554
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:40,800
it.
If he makes the play on the ball

555
00:36:42,100 --> 00:36:49,000
and and just intimidation Macho
was a physical player.

556
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:54,000
Yes, he in.
And we don't see a ton of that

557
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:58,500
and and he was as physical as a
player at the corner position as

558
00:36:58,500 --> 00:37:00,200
you could have.
But because he had the

559
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:04,300
athleticism, he Play physical.
He could do whatever he wanted.

560
00:37:04,700 --> 00:37:07,600
Yeah, he could play off, he
could Jan you.

561
00:37:07,700 --> 00:37:11,400
I mean, he had forty six,
tackles in that senior year for

562
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,100
any defensive back to even get
near 50.

563
00:37:14,100 --> 00:37:16,100
It tells what Brian said, he's
physically.

564
00:37:16,100 --> 00:37:18,800
He was not afraid to stick his
nose and he was not afraid to go

565
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:26,500
tackle someone so that group you
know in general all of them

566
00:37:26,500 --> 00:37:30,400
deserve the honors but those
three football players, you

567
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:33,800
know, it's cool.
To see them go in.

568
00:37:34,100 --> 00:37:37,000
It's Kevin.
See guys like that go in and the

569
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:40,800
last to especially for our
generation and you know many of

570
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:44,500
y'all are out there that listen
that might be somewhere between

571
00:37:44,500 --> 00:37:48,800
30 and 40 close to our age.
These are the guys you remember

572
00:37:50,500 --> 00:37:53,700
we also reminisce about it
because that's what we want to

573
00:37:53,700 --> 00:37:57,300
get back to.
And, you know, it's possible,

574
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,900
you know, it's possible.
It's an uphill climb right now

575
00:38:00,900 --> 00:38:02,700
from where we are but it is
possible.

576
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,000
Absolutely.
Absolutely.

577
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,200
We can get there.
We can get there.

578
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:11,200
Alright, Braun before we go into
looking at knowing the enemy and

579
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:14,200
Duke, we are going to take a
quick pause for a message from

588
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:44,200
Now back to the episode All
right Brian, let's take a look

589
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,300
at Duke here.
The three and six Duke Blue

590
00:38:47,300 --> 00:38:49,900
Devils will give you a very
scary thing.

591
00:38:49,900 --> 00:38:52,300
Here, they are 0 and 5 and
Conference.

592
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,800
Last two teams we have played
who have not won a conference

593
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,300
game.
They both made us their Get

594
00:39:00,300 --> 00:39:03,100
Right game.
I hope that's not the case this

595
00:39:03,100 --> 00:39:06,700
weekend.
Yeah, we've already given away

596
00:39:06,700 --> 00:39:11,000
to First ACC win of the years.
So something we cannot, we

597
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:15,500
cannot afford another one.
Nah, not on Hall of Fame weekend

598
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:20,000
and now on the on Senior Day,
alright, not against Duke, not

599
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,600
against.
B.

600
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:29,300
Oh dude, 1425 defense not a
really good defense at all, you

601
00:39:29,300 --> 00:39:31,900
know, red zone, defense 110th,
you get down there, you're

602
00:39:31,900 --> 00:39:35,800
probably going to score against
them their best to testicle line

603
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:39,300
is they are tied for 73 in
sacks, about flew over to a

604
00:39:39,300 --> 00:39:43,100
game.
One of the worst down And one of

605
00:39:43,100 --> 00:39:45,300
the worst third bounce top teams
in the country.

606
00:39:45,300 --> 00:39:49,200
It, you know, at 48 percent,
they're giving up so.

607
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:54,300
But they still have some players
that have some good statistics

608
00:39:54,300 --> 00:39:57,000
and look pretty good on tape.
And let's start with Dwayne

609
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,900
Carter.
Brian, number 90, High 3 star

610
00:39:59,900 --> 00:40:03,900
out of Pinkerton Ohio,
six-foot-three 300-pound

611
00:40:03,900 --> 00:40:08,200
defensive tackles so far this
year, twenty six, tackles four

612
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:09,700
and a half sacks.
This is the impressive.

613
00:40:09,700 --> 00:40:12,600
Number two, impressive numbers
for me 4/4.

614
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:17,700
Bowls three pass deflections.
So in that big guy gets you he's

615
00:40:17,700 --> 00:40:22,800
trying to get the ball out and
he is probably why he's getting

616
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,500
some mention of seen a couple
times when I was searching this

617
00:40:25,500 --> 00:40:28,600
week.
And I fell Scouts NFL Scouts

618
00:40:29,100 --> 00:40:32,600
three pass deflections saying
you're not keeping him here.

619
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:35,200
He's getting his hands up.
What are you seeing on the tape

620
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,900
from the big guy?
Yeah, I mean he has an excellent

621
00:40:37,900 --> 00:40:41,900
pass rush for a nose and he has
a good sense of awareness.

622
00:40:41,900 --> 00:40:45,000
That when if He's not there.
As you said he's getting his

623
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,600
hands up.
He does a good job of when he

624
00:40:48,607 --> 00:40:50,800
gets to the quarterback
finishing the play.

625
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:53,200
That's why you're seeing some of
those forced fumbles.

626
00:40:53,900 --> 00:40:56,000
He also holds the Gap pretty
well in the run.

627
00:40:56,900 --> 00:40:58,400
So that's another thing to
watch.

628
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,500
He's not going to get moved out
of the gap on the interior,

629
00:41:01,500 --> 00:41:05,400
they're very much and he's got a
good motor for a 300-pounder so

630
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:08,000
he keeps working at it.
He doesn't give up on plays or

631
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,900
anything like that.
Is he one of these guys on the

632
00:41:10,900 --> 00:41:12,200
inside?
That's not only getting

633
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,000
production.
But is he helping his outside

634
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:18,100
guys out as well?
Yeah, I mean they can't exactly

635
00:41:18,100 --> 00:41:21,700
on his side of the ball.
They're not able to essentially

636
00:41:21,700 --> 00:41:24,300
devote an extra interior guy to
help the tackle.

637
00:41:24,300 --> 00:41:26,700
It's going to have to be a chip
with a running back or a tight

638
00:41:26,700 --> 00:41:29,300
end.
So essentially you're having to

639
00:41:29,300 --> 00:41:32,500
vote because of him you're
essentially having to take

640
00:41:32,500 --> 00:41:37,700
someone out of the pass routes.
To assist with them.

641
00:41:38,300 --> 00:41:39,700
Yeah.
I mean the guards definitely

642
00:41:39,700 --> 00:41:43,100
going to have to give give a
hand to the center, unless

643
00:41:43,100 --> 00:41:46,900
there's a blitz coming.
So he's not somebody where you

644
00:41:46,900 --> 00:41:50,700
can let the guard, you know,
work work in tandem with the

645
00:41:50,700 --> 00:41:52,300
tackle on any sort of block
there.

646
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,400
All right, so keep an eye on
number 90 there in the middle,

647
00:41:55,900 --> 00:41:58,700
especially with the banged up
Brock this week.

648
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:03,200
You know, it's going to be
definitely a big thing.

649
00:42:03,500 --> 00:42:07,100
All right, let's flip next Braun
to shock a Howard. 42 amid 3

650
00:42:07,100 --> 00:42:10,200
star, who's out of the Mill
Creek, Georgia six-foot-four,

651
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:13,600
220 pounds Hurley, a tackling
machine for them.

652
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:18,100
Seventy four total, tackles 94
loss including three sacks and

653
00:42:18,100 --> 00:42:24,500
interceptions whereas he will,
my course, am he's the Mike.

654
00:42:24,500 --> 00:42:26,500
He's kind of the quarterback of
their defense.

655
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:32,200
He does a lot for them.
He's their primary run Blitzer,

656
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,600
he's a good tackler.
He's only average block shatter.

657
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,700
He doesn't do a great job of
getting off blocks once he's

658
00:42:38,700 --> 00:42:41,900
fully engaged, but he comes
downhill.

659
00:42:41,900 --> 00:42:43,900
Really hard, makes plays when
that.

660
00:42:43,900 --> 00:42:47,800
That run blitz is called.
He did, force that safety

661
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:50,000
against Pitt.
I don't know if you saw the that

662
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:54,100
game on the tape there but
turnover on Downs.

663
00:42:54,100 --> 00:42:58,400
Deep in the end, their neck,
very next play run blitz, he

664
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:02,300
gets up in there.
Stymies the lead Blocker in the

665
00:43:02,300 --> 00:43:05,800
hole and then holds up the
running.

666
00:43:05,900 --> 00:43:08,700
Back until everybody else gets
there to finish off the tackle

667
00:43:09,900 --> 00:43:11,900
and he does a good job in his
own coverage.

668
00:43:11,900 --> 00:43:14,300
He's not suspect, they're
either.

669
00:43:14,500 --> 00:43:16,100
He does a pretty good job
holding up there.

670
00:43:16,100 --> 00:43:19,100
He will get beat if he's matched
up against an elite athlete.

671
00:43:19,100 --> 00:43:23,600
But if he's matched up against a
running back or a tight end or a

672
00:43:23,607 --> 00:43:26,200
slower slot receiver, he can
hold his own.

673
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:30,400
All right so it sounds like a
pretty well-rounded linebacker

674
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:34,300
there then.
Yeah one we can't key in on and

675
00:43:34,300 --> 00:43:36,400
say well he's batting covers
less attack there.

676
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:39,600
Although the way are passing
game is look, that's not good

677
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:43,500
and it's not obviously you talk
about good tackler and average

678
00:43:43,500 --> 00:43:45,700
said of the blocker, sometimes
at the Collegiate level, that's

679
00:43:45,700 --> 00:43:52,900
all you need to be.
Right, I'd say the problem with

680
00:43:52,900 --> 00:43:56,200
running right at him is that
you're also running right at the

681
00:43:56,200 --> 00:44:00,600
previous, man.
We mentioned in Dwayne, Carter,

682
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:06,500
so it's kind of a catch-22, but
running right at him is probably

683
00:44:06,500 --> 00:44:10,900
the best option just because you
can get it a man had on hat on

684
00:44:10,900 --> 00:44:13,300
him and force him to shed that
block.

685
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,800
All right, sounds good, let's
look it over and let's look at a

686
00:44:16,808 --> 00:44:18,200
couple.
Hello, guys, on the secondary

687
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:19,700
here.
Let's start with gloomy young.

688
00:44:19,700 --> 00:44:23,700
The fourth number 23.
A top 10 player in South

689
00:44:23,700 --> 00:44:25,500
Carolina when he came out a mid
three.

690
00:44:25,500 --> 00:44:29,200
Start a Westside, High School,
six 1205.

691
00:44:29,900 --> 00:44:35,800
Also some pretty good statistics
here. 60, tackles only one pick

692
00:44:36,100 --> 00:44:40,700
but five pass deflections and
two forced fumbles from him.

693
00:44:42,100 --> 00:44:45,000
I know you've told me, Brian, he
is the Rover, so, he is closer

694
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:46,900
to the line.
What does he bring?

695
00:44:47,300 --> 00:44:52,400
Really good that we've got to
look out for because again this

696
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:55,900
isn't a bad defense but we're
highlighting their best players

697
00:44:55,900 --> 00:44:58,100
that these players have good
game.

698
00:44:58,100 --> 00:45:02,100
We're going to be in trouble.
Yeah and I mean he's your

699
00:45:02,100 --> 00:45:04,500
typical in the Box.
Strong safety, really good.

700
00:45:04,500 --> 00:45:07,900
Tackler big hitter does a really
good job.

701
00:45:07,900 --> 00:45:12,600
Making tackles in the spill area
in terms of his coverage skills.

702
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:17,200
He's much better in zone than he
is in man coverage and Some of

703
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:19,900
the stats, you spoke of kind of
speak to that, right?

704
00:45:20,500 --> 00:45:23,700
He will get beat in man
coverage, but in zone, when it's

705
00:45:23,700 --> 00:45:27,900
more read and react, he does a
good job of getting an impact.

706
00:45:27,900 --> 00:45:32,800
At the point of catch, forcing
some of those fumbles, breaking

707
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:36,400
up some of those passes.
So if we can get him matched up

708
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:39,500
and man man situation, that's
going to be the way to attack

709
00:45:39,500 --> 00:45:43,300
him, I would ask this.
I would say we've been talking

710
00:45:43,300 --> 00:45:46,700
about it all year and they still
hadn't done it, would this be a

711
00:45:46,700 --> 00:45:49,800
game?
Game where we should be

712
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:54,000
deploying like Raheem Blackshear
given to back looks and appoint

713
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:57,800
him to essentially force him to
play him, man.

714
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:05,100
If we could, I think they do a
lot of like, quarters that

715
00:46:05,100 --> 00:46:09,500
become man coverage depending on
the route tree, they do some

716
00:46:09,500 --> 00:46:11,800
press man.
It's a lot of at the line of

717
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:13,700
scrimmage type stuff with the
corners.

718
00:46:13,900 --> 00:46:18,100
We haven't got there yet, but
we'll get there next, actually,

719
00:46:18,900 --> 00:46:22,100
but you just kind of going
through their coverage.

720
00:46:22,300 --> 00:46:25,000
That could force them in some
sort of mismatched situation

721
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:28,100
where you get a guy that's maybe
a little more suspect in man

722
00:46:28,100 --> 00:46:30,300
coverage.
Judge with an athlete.

723
00:46:30,300 --> 00:46:32,100
That he's probably not
comfortable covering.

724
00:46:33,300 --> 00:46:35,000
All right.
Well let's go ahead.

725
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,000
Let's let's talk about the
outside.

726
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:39,700
Who will he be covering trade
Turner willing?

727
00:46:39,700 --> 00:46:43,300
Not, we don't know until
probably Saturday 30 to 45

728
00:46:43,300 --> 00:46:46,500
minutes before game time guys.
Jeremiah Lewis.

729
00:46:46,500 --> 00:46:49,800
Number 39 at a Plano Texas was a
three-star.

730
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:55,600
When he came out 612, she's in
1990 last year.

731
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:58,900
He was a top ten past,
deflector, past defender.

732
00:46:58,900 --> 00:47:02,900
In the ACC with seven this year
2:03 flexion.

733
00:47:03,100 --> 00:47:07,100
Two picks 22, tackles this far,
and obviously, he is a

734
00:47:07,100 --> 00:47:09,100
cornerback.
So what do you see it on the

735
00:47:09,107 --> 00:47:12,100
tape from him?
He's the best cover Corner.

736
00:47:12,100 --> 00:47:14,200
They have.
He's not necessarily Elite but

737
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:19,000
he's very solid and coverage.
Does a good job of sticking with

738
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:22,700
man and based on their scheme
and his skill set.

739
00:47:22,700 --> 00:47:25,500
They do a lot of Pressman.
Again that comes into sometimes.

740
00:47:25,500 --> 00:47:28,700
Press press quarters depending
on whether it's a zone or a man

741
00:47:28,700 --> 00:47:32,400
called there.
But he challenges challenges

742
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:35,400
receivers at the line of
scrimmage really well and still

743
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:37,600
able to run with the receivers
throughout the route.

744
00:47:38,300 --> 00:47:42,600
He is suspect against the Run
especially if he's asked to set

745
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:45,800
the edge.
If he's if he's that backside.

746
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:49,700
Edge Defender.
If you have the tight end kind

747
00:47:49,700 --> 00:47:54,500
of uncovered by a receiver there
where he's got kind of edge

748
00:47:54,500 --> 00:47:57,100
responsibilities.
He does not do a good job there.

749
00:47:58,500 --> 00:48:01,400
So that's that's one area where
we might be able to kind of

750
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:04,200
scheme scheme.
Him into trouble.

751
00:48:05,700 --> 00:48:11,300
All right, so Is he is he just
staying with the best receiver.

752
00:48:11,300 --> 00:48:14,400
When you see him or is sitting
more he's going to be to one

753
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:19,000
side of the field.
He primarily sticks to one side

754
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:22,500
of the field, okay?
He's usually to the right.

755
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:27,800
So it's so just the right?
So regardless of where the ball

756
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:30,300
is, he's always on the right
side of the field, if it would

757
00:48:30,300 --> 00:48:33,200
be, if his band goes in motion,
he'll Chase if it's depending on

758
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:37,900
the coverage but he's more than
likely going to stick with with

759
00:48:37,900 --> 00:48:42,200
the right side if it's a Zone
look, okay, I only ask that

760
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:45,000
because in those situations
where if he's always on the

761
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:49,400
right regardless of The coverage
of where the sets or anything

762
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:51,900
like that.
Does that make it a little bit

763
00:48:51,900 --> 00:48:53,600
harder to attack him in the Run
game?

764
00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:57,800
Because essentially, they, we
know he's over here, we can

765
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:03,000
send, you know, we can send, we
can send you on over there.

766
00:49:03,300 --> 00:49:05,400
We can let the linebackers flow
that way.

767
00:49:06,100 --> 00:49:10,400
He's the liability, That's what
I think that's why I'm asking

768
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:13,100
that.
Yeah, I mean you can kind of

769
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:20,100
essentially try to hide him.
But I mean, if you go You know,

770
00:49:20,100 --> 00:49:24,900
trips right with the tight end
to the left.

771
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:29,300
You know, we flip that that
means he's the the right corner

772
00:49:29,300 --> 00:49:33,800
back on the tight end side.
You know you're in a situation

773
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:37,400
where he's going to have some
enter sponsibility there along

774
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:42,200
with man coverage against the
tight end depending on the

775
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:45,600
obviously the play call into the
the scheme call for the, for the

776
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:50,400
coverage.
But if it is a either zone or

777
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:53,900
something like that, then you
put him in a situation where

778
00:49:53,900 --> 00:49:57,300
he's, he's staying on the right
hand side with tight end and now

779
00:49:57,300 --> 00:50:02,300
you've got a mismatch got it.
So let's hope that we can get to

780
00:50:02,300 --> 00:50:06,100
run to his side of the field,
and definitely make some leeway.

781
00:50:06,100 --> 00:50:08,900
There I'm Ron.
Let's flip it over to the

782
00:50:08,900 --> 00:50:12,600
offensive side of the field for
the Duke Blue Devils.

783
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:17,000
And just just some highlight,
everybody know it's a cut lip

784
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:21,100
off thence, we've seen it for
roughly 22 years to his credit.

785
00:50:21,100 --> 00:50:25,000
It's not stayed the same.
It's variations of things.

786
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,500
He did 25 years ago.
Tennessee.

787
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:30,000
It's wrinkles.
You never know what he's going

788
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:36,900
to throw and, you know, to me
they are a tail really between

789
00:50:36,900 --> 00:50:41,700
the 20s, they're similar to us
total offense there, 31 in the

790
00:50:41,700 --> 00:50:47,100
country, 443 yards game, they
are getting a ton of yards.

791
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:53,100
But scoring their 90th.
Only averaging 25 points a game.

792
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:56,000
They're absolutely.
They're worse than us in Red

793
00:50:56,000 --> 00:51:00,800
Zone.
Efficiency at 101. 21, you know,

794
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:03,600
only converting 70% of their
chances.

795
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:08,100
They are, but in the red zone.
They, yeah, you have absolute.

796
00:51:08,100 --> 00:51:11,000
But it's definitely their past
three.

797
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:14,500
Passing touchdowns on 35
attempts, inside the red zone,

798
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:18,600
Three.
We got more than that.

799
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:20,600
Yep, you look at their passing
game.

800
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:23,700
We don't even have a good
offensive coordinator, but let's

801
00:51:23,700 --> 00:51:26,400
talk about the guy that makes
this Offense Code, Mateo,

802
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:31,900
Durant, number 21, a low 3 star
out of McCormick South Carolina

803
00:51:31,900 --> 00:51:37,500
61 195 already over 1000 yards.
This year impressive.

804
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:45,000
Five yards of carry 11.
Total touchdowns 9 running to

805
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:48,100
receiving.
He's not a one way back.

806
00:51:48,100 --> 00:51:53,400
Like we saw last week with BC.
He can do it both 23, receptions

807
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:58,200
over, 200 yards, averaging about
ten per, what are you seeing?

808
00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:01,700
Because he's getting some Buzz
where he might potentially leave

809
00:52:01,700 --> 00:52:04,600
correct.
Yeah I mean as you said, he's

810
00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:08,900
already over 1000 yards, he's
really the the second best Back

811
00:52:08,900 --> 00:52:13,000
in terms of production in the
ACC this year, he's patient

812
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:16,600
between the tackles has great
vision, really good

813
00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:19,300
acceleration.
If he runs to the edge, they

814
00:52:19,300 --> 00:52:21,700
like to swing it out to him in
the passing game.

815
00:52:22,100 --> 00:52:24,500
They'll also run wheels and
stuff like that with and so it's

816
00:52:24,500 --> 00:52:26,600
not just a screen or a swing
game.

817
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:30,600
There's also some wheel routes
thrown in there, but he does a

818
00:52:30,607 --> 00:52:35,300
really good job of get taking
what the defense is giving them.

819
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:39,000
And I think that's why he's been
so efficient is because I mean

820
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:41,100
that it's not a, we're going to
talk about the offensive line,

821
00:52:41,100 --> 00:52:45,200
it's not up, the elite offensive
line but he takes once there, he

822
00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:51,000
gets the yards and they line up
and do it again so consistency.

823
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:54,700
I'm assuming he doesn't get
tackled a lot in the backfield,

824
00:52:55,400 --> 00:53:00,600
not very much a guy that is
always getting some yardage.

825
00:53:01,300 --> 00:53:03,800
Unless that, you know, there's a
perfect call on the on the

826
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:05,700
defensive side with the run
blitz.

827
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:09,500
He's getting some positive yards
and he Is a good job of running

828
00:53:09,500 --> 00:53:12,000
through arm, tackles between
those between the tackles as

829
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:14,600
well.
All right.

830
00:53:15,700 --> 00:53:17,200
Let's go next.
Brian let's look at the

831
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:19,000
quarterback.
Before we flip to the offensive

832
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:21,000
line Gunner.
Holmberg number 12, pretty high.

833
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:23,800
Three story came out of Wake
Forest, North Carolina at

834
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:29,000
Heritage High School 63. 205
passing has a little bit to be

835
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:32,500
desired though.
He's in you expect that with the

836
00:53:32,500 --> 00:53:35,900
really good running back but I
think the ones that you would

837
00:53:35,900 --> 00:53:39,900
expect to be significantly
higher 2034 passing yards and

838
00:53:39,900 --> 00:53:43,900
the nine games this year.
But less than eight per attempt

839
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:49,100
like 7.7 per attempt.
That's having a guy that good

840
00:53:49,100 --> 00:53:51,700
run.
You want that to be over ten

841
00:53:52,500 --> 00:53:58,000
seven, touchdown six pics, not
really a running threat, only

842
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:03,200
less than 200 yards, but he's
averaging to a carry, but he

843
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:07,200
does have six touchdowns.
So he is an actual running

844
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:12,200
threat down in the red zone.
What are you seeing out of a

845
00:54:12,207 --> 00:54:16,000
home bird there?
Yes, I'll start with a fun fact.

846
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:19,300
My wife taught with his mom when
we live down in Raleigh.

847
00:54:19,300 --> 00:54:24,500
So we're definitely.
Yeah, so fun fact.

848
00:54:24,500 --> 00:54:28,200
Number one, I knew, I knew
Gunner Holmberg was going to

849
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:34,000
Duke in like 2016 real 2017.
Yeah.

850
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:40,100
Well, so I was like, okay, well,
you know, we'll see.

851
00:54:40,100 --> 00:54:41,600
We'll see if he ends up being a
starter one day.

852
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:45,400
Here he is.
He's a starter, he's accurate,

853
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:48,300
especially in the short to
intermediate range, and that's

854
00:54:48,300 --> 00:54:51,600
primarily the bread-and-butter
this offense.

855
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:55,900
He's got good pocket awareness,
he's got decent deep accuracy,

856
00:54:55,900 --> 00:54:59,200
but he lacks some of the true
like vertical threat arm

857
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:01,600
strength.
He can definitely make a good

858
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:04,400
throw 40 yards but he's not a
guy that's really stretching the

859
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:08,200
feel like that consistently and
even when he's got.

860
00:55:08,300 --> 00:55:12,800
Got an open guy.
Sometimes he sacrifices accuracy

861
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:18,900
for distance and vice versa, so
you'll see some trade-off when

862
00:55:18,900 --> 00:55:22,600
he tries to strike deep down,
the field like that, okay.

863
00:55:22,700 --> 00:55:25,100
Is that really a threat in the
running game but he's got enough

864
00:55:25,100 --> 00:55:29,100
athleticism to scramble when
needed and they use him heavily.

865
00:55:29,100 --> 00:55:32,100
If they get inside the five, I
mean, it's pretty much either.

866
00:55:32,100 --> 00:55:36,800
He's throwing a fade or they're
running a sneak, which is kind

867
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:39,600
of it.
Baffles the mind a little bit

868
00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:41,100
with having such a good running
back.

869
00:55:41,100 --> 00:55:44,800
So I'm thinking looking at it
and then we'll talk about the

870
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:47,600
offensive line here.
It's kind of like our situation

871
00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:52,700
where that offensive line is
more designed for middle of the

872
00:55:52,700 --> 00:55:55,100
field and not necessarily
designed to push guys off the

873
00:55:55,100 --> 00:55:59,200
ball.
That's so let's talk.

874
00:55:59,900 --> 00:56:01,300
Let's talk about the offensive
line.

875
00:56:01,300 --> 00:56:05,900
Obviously, when a guy rushes for
1000, they can't be absolutely

876
00:56:05,900 --> 00:56:08,600
Dreadful.
I mean, you know, they are

877
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:13,000
giving up about six tackles for
losses of game, but I think the

878
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:15,400
way you've been talking about
Holmberg, that's probably more

879
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:18,800
on him being able to get away
from pressure and probably

880
00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:22,100
getting tackled Outside The
Tackle Box, where it's not a

881
00:56:22,107 --> 00:56:26,600
sack, it's considered a tackle
for loss, not terrible about

882
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:30,900
getting upset.
Acts bout mid-pack about in the

883
00:56:30,900 --> 00:56:35,500
60s, has low 70.
So you know he's not a Sitting

884
00:56:35,500 --> 00:56:40,800
Duck back there with them.
So what's makes them, why is the

885
00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:44,200
combination of this offensive
line and Mateo Durant?

886
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:46,100
Why are they so good running the
ball?

887
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:49,900
So between the 20s there, good
running the ball because they

888
00:56:49,900 --> 00:56:53,200
have a lot of quick hitting
inside please, that they are

889
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:56,100
really good at blocking up and
Zoning up.

890
00:56:57,100 --> 00:56:59,800
The, the Trap is one of them.
That's, that's really their

891
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:02,200
bread and butter.
They also love the inside Zone,

892
00:57:03,100 --> 00:57:06,100
and but the combination would
Te'o Durant in the, the strength

893
00:57:06,100 --> 00:57:09,500
of his offensive line really
makes those two please go for

894
00:57:09,500 --> 00:57:11,900
them.
It's definitely there. 100%

895
00:57:11,900 --> 00:57:14,500
their bread and butter and
they're above average in past

896
00:57:14,500 --> 00:57:17,000
Pro.
They do a good job.

897
00:57:17,500 --> 00:57:22,400
The scheme helps them because it
is a lot of quick passes you

898
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:26,000
from the 5 to 20 yard range.
They're not going down the field

899
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:29,000
a whole lot.
So there's not a ton of you

900
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:31,700
know, 45 second pass Pro going
on.

901
00:57:31,700 --> 00:57:36,800
It's more of the the 24 second
pass Pro and they're holding up

902
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:41,400
well there, but there are awful
and goal to go situations,

903
00:57:42,300 --> 00:57:46,000
especially running the ball.
They are not designed to just

904
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:50,300
fire off and Move the other
defensive line.

905
00:57:50,300 --> 00:57:54,900
They are very much they meet,
they need more room to work

906
00:57:54,900 --> 00:57:56,800
with.
So when you're down at the goal

907
00:57:56,800 --> 00:57:59,700
line and you're in your splits,
tighten up and there's a lot of

908
00:57:59,707 --> 00:58:04,100
guys in not just inside the box,
but within the first 2 yards of

909
00:58:04,100 --> 00:58:07,800
the ball, they don't do a very
good job of getting to push.

910
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:13,500
Their, I saw Holmberg have about
two, it looked very similar to

911
00:58:13,500 --> 00:58:17,000
what we're dealing with having
about two or three goes.

912
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:20,800
A quarterback sneak and getting
nothing just fucking nothing.

913
00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:26,600
Well, our I mean, is it, I mean,
he's a little bigger.

914
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:30,400
I mean, is it just they can't
fire or is it just there that

915
00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:34,400
finesse of a line that
undersized when they get there?

916
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:39,300
It's like you can't fire your
not big enough to fire into most

917
00:58:39,300 --> 00:58:41,800
division one offensive line or
defensive lives.

918
00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:46,900
It's a little of both, they're a
little undersized but also just

919
00:58:47,100 --> 00:58:54,200
The the way their style, it's
more of a moving guys out of

920
00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:56,400
gaps.
Laterally than moving guys off

921
00:58:56,400 --> 00:59:00,400
the ball.
Okay, I got you.

922
00:59:00,500 --> 00:59:01,800
That makes sense.
That makes sense.

923
00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:04,900
Was it a lot of fun watching
this when I hear you talk about

924
00:59:04,900 --> 00:59:09,000
traps and inside Zone?
I know that's highly love traps

925
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:10,900
Man.
Trap traps are my favorite.

926
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:15,300
Fuck, I sound like Fred from
Scooby-Doo.

927
00:59:28,300 --> 00:59:36,300
Jen's 609 yards over 14, her
reception only three scores

928
00:59:38,300 --> 00:59:40,500
comes out of South Side, High
School in Greenville, South

929
00:59:40,500 --> 00:59:45,700
Carolina. 511 190.
He's a myth 3 star when he comes

930
00:59:45,700 --> 00:59:49,200
out.
Ex-wife lot.

931
00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:50,500
Where we see them lining up,
Brian.

932
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:58,100
He's your slot and he does a
really good job on their kind of

933
00:59:58,200 --> 01:00:01,300
Quick short passes inside the
slide, you're out your Slants,

934
01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:04,800
he's got great, quickness coming
in and out of routes, but they

935
01:00:04,800 --> 01:00:12,100
also use him up the seam and
that if they're going deep, it's

936
01:00:12,100 --> 01:00:16,400
usually him off of some sort of
play-action attacking the middle

937
01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:18,200
of the field.
Okay.

938
01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:23,400
All right, well, let me ask
this, are they primarily in

939
01:00:23,408 --> 01:00:27,200
three-wide sets?
Pretty much every down there at

940
01:00:27,207 --> 01:00:30,700
least going three wide
occasionally, they'll run in an

941
01:00:30,700 --> 01:00:37,100
extra tight in HVAC but usually
they're going three wide with

942
01:00:37,100 --> 01:00:42,200
the kind of HVAC.
They use in either in line or in

943
01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:46,700
the backfield.
All right, so what will be your

944
01:00:46,700 --> 01:00:49,900
expectation for us?
How much should we run nickel,

945
01:00:50,100 --> 01:00:54,700
getting strong, Chapman and
Waller out there to cover him

946
01:00:54,700 --> 01:00:56,600
and letting Connor Play on the
inside.

947
01:01:00,900 --> 01:01:03,100
I don't want to do it too much
just because of how much they

948
01:01:03,100 --> 01:01:08,300
run between the tackles, okay.
Does that worry then with

949
01:01:08,300 --> 01:01:13,100
Calhoun on to my I think?
No not not too much just because

950
01:01:13,100 --> 01:01:16,400
I feel like they don't they're
not successful hitting down

951
01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:20,500
field that much.
Okay, so while we are suspect in

952
01:01:20,500 --> 01:01:23,500
that in that coverage
responsibility I don't think

953
01:01:23,500 --> 01:01:27,800
it'll bite us for the home runs.
I think you might keep us on the

954
01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:32,500
field a little longer than we
like to here and there but it's

955
01:01:32,500 --> 01:01:34,100
not going to end up with six on
the board.

956
01:01:34,100 --> 01:01:38,100
Very often guy that makes Sense.
All right, Brian.

957
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:39,900
Tell me if you've heard this
before.

958
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:51,400
Six foot five, 220 lb tight end.
Every week, a six foot five, 220

959
01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:54,900
lb tight end.
Or somewhere in there.

960
01:01:55,300 --> 01:01:59,400
That's Jake Bobo number 19 out
of Belmont.

961
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:06,200
Massachusetts mid 3 star when he
came out 59 perception 635 yards

962
01:02:06,200 --> 01:02:10,200
right at 11 per reception, only
one touchdown this year.

963
01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:13,400
What are you seeing out of Jake
Bo Bo Ryan?

964
01:02:13,900 --> 01:02:16,400
Yeah, they really don't use them
as a tight end.

965
01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:18,500
They use them as a wider.
I mean he's essentially Bucky

966
01:02:18,500 --> 01:02:20,000
Hodges.
Okay.

967
01:02:20,800 --> 01:02:22,700
Yeah.
I mean, he's really a wide

968
01:02:22,700 --> 01:02:24,400
receiver.
They use them outside.

969
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:29,900
Sometimes, they'll put him in
the slot, sometimes they'll put

970
01:02:29,900 --> 01:02:33,500
him on line, but usually he's
outside and he's there.

971
01:02:33,500 --> 01:02:37,300
Stick mover.
He will occasionally get a deep

972
01:02:37,300 --> 01:02:39,800
Target here.
They're usually some sort of

973
01:02:39,800 --> 01:02:43,400
like Corner route where they get
him isolated.

974
01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:48,100
But he'll run the full route
tree and they will Target him a

975
01:02:48,107 --> 01:02:52,100
lot in the Red Zone.
Usually, with the fade.

976
01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:59,700
Makes sense being six foot five
so he's not he's not the age

977
01:02:59,700 --> 01:03:02,800
back in line tied into they got
another guy that does that.

978
01:03:03,100 --> 01:03:08,900
Yep the this he's primarily that
Bucky Hodges 2016 type really

979
01:03:08,900 --> 01:03:11,900
big wide receiver.
So let me ask this is that who

980
01:03:11,900 --> 01:03:16,000
Waller needs to be on?
Yeah, I put water on him.

981
01:03:16,900 --> 01:03:20,700
Almost exclusively if I could.
All right and makes sense here.

982
01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:24,100
Well Brian we've talked enough
about them, we've given

983
01:03:24,100 --> 01:03:27,300
everybody some insight to what
they do some of their key

984
01:03:27,300 --> 01:03:29,900
players.
But we've got to now talk about

985
01:03:29,900 --> 01:03:35,300
the Hokies because you know, in
this Kappa version a lot of the

986
01:03:35,300 --> 01:03:37,600
stuff that we've already talked
about.

987
01:03:37,600 --> 01:03:42,200
You're going to hear again, it
needs to be emphasized but it's

988
01:03:42,200 --> 01:03:48,700
really funny because No.
The symbolization of a Kappa is

989
01:03:48,700 --> 01:03:50,800
the palm of the hand, right?
Yep.

990
01:03:51,800 --> 01:03:56,800
And you kind of think about it.
This is a poem in the hand

991
01:03:56,800 --> 01:03:59,600
Victory.
We're better than them.

992
01:04:00,900 --> 01:04:03,400
Right.
We're better than we have more

993
01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:11,100
Talent we're at home we even had
an extra day to prepare but it

994
01:04:11,100 --> 01:04:14,700
worries Us in Braun.
Let's let's start offensive ly.

995
01:04:15,500 --> 01:04:18,000
I know what you're going to say,
pound the table say it.

996
01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:25,400
Continue the commitment to the
running game, pound the football

997
01:04:25,900 --> 01:04:28,200
run.
It run, even though they have

998
01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:33,600
some guys who care and help stop
the run overall, they're not

999
01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:38,800
built that way and with
Blackshear, and Malachi.

1000
01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:42,300
Averaging five last week against
a significantly better front.

1001
01:04:42,300 --> 01:04:46,200
Seven front six.
Yep, don't go away from.

1002
01:04:46,300 --> 01:04:47,800
Don't get fancy.
Don't get cute.

1003
01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:52,300
Don't get smart.
If those guys each aren't close

1004
01:04:52,300 --> 01:04:57,200
to 15 to 20 for both of them, it
will be a disappointment.

1005
01:04:57,800 --> 01:04:59,800
Yep.
So I'm ready for that actually.

1006
01:05:01,100 --> 01:05:05,200
So for the second one, I don't
know if you've heard this one

1007
01:05:05,200 --> 01:05:07,900
before.
This is an oldie but a goodie

1008
01:05:08,700 --> 01:05:13,000
get whoever is quarterback
comfortable early and we did not

1009
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:16,100
do that against BC.
We did didn't hardly throw a

1010
01:05:16,100 --> 01:05:19,500
pass for most of the first half
and by the time we started, To

1011
01:05:19,508 --> 01:05:22,900
throw in the past, as we weren't
completing them because we were

1012
01:05:22,900 --> 01:05:26,700
taking shots, get these damn
quarterbacks comfortable early.

1013
01:05:26,700 --> 01:05:31,000
Whether it's BB, whether it's
knocks, whether it's Taj.

1014
01:05:31,100 --> 01:05:34,500
And if BB is out, I better see
Taj take some snaps.

1015
01:05:35,200 --> 01:05:40,600
Well you know if for nothing
else get ties in there to run

1016
01:05:41,100 --> 01:05:44,700
the Run dip because Knox is not
a threat.

1017
01:05:45,600 --> 01:05:48,100
Knox is not a threat for right?
If you, if you want to have any

1018
01:05:48,100 --> 01:05:52,300
semblance of read option or RPO
or any of that shit, you better

1019
01:05:52,300 --> 01:05:53,800
get tossed out there.
Yeah.

1020
01:05:53,900 --> 01:05:56,300
Do we expect them to start us
talking with a buddy today at

1021
01:05:56,300 --> 01:05:58,300
work?
No, I do not expect them to

1022
01:05:58,308 --> 01:06:00,200
start, but he needs to wear it
for.

1023
01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:02,900
He can play in every game from
here on out.

1024
01:06:02,900 --> 01:06:07,400
If we make a bowl Italy every
game, there needs to be packages

1025
01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:09,500
for that kid.
You need to get him on the field

1026
01:06:09,500 --> 01:06:12,600
and see what he's got.
And if he runs the ball and

1027
01:06:12,600 --> 01:06:15,600
that's it, that's fine.
At least you give more of Double

1028
01:06:15,600 --> 01:06:19,900
threat to running the ball to
your point about comfortable

1029
01:06:19,900 --> 01:06:23,400
early.
I'm not even going to talk to

1030
01:06:23,408 --> 01:06:24,800
you.
If the first three passes our

1031
01:06:24,800 --> 01:06:28,100
past 15 yards because you're
going to be in a grumpy mood,

1032
01:06:28,100 --> 01:06:33,100
the rest of the afternoon, like,
idiot, we have this opportunity

1033
01:06:33,700 --> 01:06:35,700
and you do, we're gonna have to
take a shot here, they're

1034
01:06:35,700 --> 01:06:37,900
against the seam because they do
play that press.

1035
01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:43,400
But You still can get these
opportunities from guys, that

1036
01:06:43,400 --> 01:06:47,100
aren't named, Trey, and Tay.
You don't have to always look

1037
01:06:47,100 --> 01:06:50,600
outside.
You still have H backs, you

1038
01:06:50,600 --> 01:06:53,500
still have tight ends.
You still have slot receivers.

1039
01:06:54,900 --> 01:06:57,800
There is such a thing as the
middle of the field.

1040
01:06:58,100 --> 01:07:01,900
I don't know if you've heard of
it but we should actually attack

1041
01:07:01,900 --> 01:07:05,700
that from time to time.
We do an awful job of attacking

1042
01:07:05,700 --> 01:07:08,100
the middle of feel especially in
the intermediate area.

1043
01:07:09,200 --> 01:07:15,200
That's where we need to focus.
And I don't know if it's a not

1044
01:07:15,200 --> 01:07:18,100
seeing the field issue by the
quarterback, whether it's a,

1045
01:07:18,100 --> 01:07:23,400
just not, not emphasizing it by
our coordinator, I don't know,

1046
01:07:24,300 --> 01:07:27,400
but it's something but.
I mean, we're close to dead last

1047
01:07:27,400 --> 01:07:29,900
in intermediate passes inside
the hashes.

1048
01:07:30,100 --> 01:07:33,400
Well, we weren't great last year
and or even the early part of

1049
01:07:33,408 --> 01:07:36,300
this year with James and James
is an absolute rather, the

1050
01:07:36,300 --> 01:07:40,500
middle of people Yep.
It's like there's this area

1051
01:07:41,400 --> 01:07:43,900
where a lot of times it can
become void, right?

1052
01:07:45,500 --> 01:07:50,300
How many times just watching any
level of football, high school

1053
01:07:50,300 --> 01:07:53,000
college or Pro that the middle
of the field?

1054
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:56,400
Gets voided now, and one of the
best schematic offensive

1055
01:07:56,400 --> 01:08:00,800
coordinators, know how to
manipulate to get holes in the

1056
01:08:00,800 --> 01:08:03,700
middle of the field wide open,
and it's easy passes.

1057
01:08:04,900 --> 01:08:09,300
It's easier passes because it's
literally straight, but will

1058
01:08:09,300 --> 01:08:13,700
digress on that.
I hope be be there.

1059
01:08:13,700 --> 01:08:18,700
I think BB you play and I know
he's, he took a shot to the ribs

1060
01:08:19,600 --> 01:08:22,700
but if he can throw, he was
thrown on the Cylon he was just

1061
01:08:22,700 --> 01:08:25,600
in pain.
Yeah, what I think will happen

1062
01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:27,600
is I think he will get a
cortisone shot.

1063
01:08:28,399 --> 01:08:32,300
And for three quarters of the
game, he won't feel it.

1064
01:08:32,300 --> 01:08:37,899
And starting the fourth he will.
And return of perk my sister,

1065
01:08:39,300 --> 01:08:42,000
you know, maybe the other big
thing.

1066
01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:46,100
Brian and and I think this is an
absolute must is because they're

1067
01:08:46,100 --> 01:08:49,899
not a good team.
We have to score early, it does

1068
01:08:49,899 --> 01:08:54,300
not have to be often, but we've
got to put I think at least 14

1069
01:08:54,300 --> 01:08:56,500
points up by halftime.
Yep.

1070
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:00,500
I'm with you, we've got to score
against these guys because they

1071
01:09:00,500 --> 01:09:03,899
will move the ball, which means,
unless they're going for it on

1072
01:09:03,899 --> 01:09:09,200
Fourth, like they did a handful
of times against Pitt last week.

1073
01:09:10,200 --> 01:09:13,899
They're going to have moments
where they're going to at least

1074
01:09:13,899 --> 01:09:17,399
get field goals on these drives.
We got to, at least at least

1075
01:09:17,399 --> 01:09:21,800
match that if not put, put it in
the end zone ourselves and I'd

1076
01:09:21,800 --> 01:09:24,800
love to trade touchdowns for
field goals against Duke,

1077
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:28,000
because then then we can make
some make some hey there.

1078
01:09:29,399 --> 01:09:33,700
What worries me is if we get
into field goal fight with them.

1079
01:09:34,500 --> 01:09:37,700
Yep, that is the worst and far
here.

1080
01:09:38,600 --> 01:09:40,700
All right Braun, let's flip over
to defense.

1081
01:09:40,700 --> 01:09:45,100
Let's talk about it.
They are a good running team.

1082
01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:47,300
We saw what happened last week
now.

1083
01:09:47,300 --> 01:09:50,899
Luckily that was more of a power
scheme will bit more push

1084
01:09:50,899 --> 01:09:53,600
around.
This is more finesse what has to

1085
01:09:53,600 --> 01:09:56,600
go on the defensive line and the
linebacking corps.

1086
01:09:58,100 --> 01:10:00,300
All the front six much better
Gap.

1087
01:10:00,300 --> 01:10:03,700
Integrity this week than against
BC and it should be easier.

1088
01:10:03,700 --> 01:10:07,100
Sledding this week, you're not
playing as physical of offensive

1089
01:10:07,100 --> 01:10:08,400
line.
It's more finesse.

1090
01:10:08,800 --> 01:10:12,300
Yeah, they run the traps good
but you need to hold their Gap.

1091
01:10:12,400 --> 01:10:17,300
Make sure that you're not.
Making a good hole, a great hole

1092
01:10:17,800 --> 01:10:21,200
and make sure that your
linebackers are filling timely.

1093
01:10:21,200 --> 01:10:26,900
So you're not at the second
level with Mateo Durant and

1094
01:10:27,000 --> 01:10:28,400
going hand-in-hand with that
man.

1095
01:10:28,400 --> 01:10:30,200
You gotta tackle, you gotta
tackle.

1096
01:10:30,200 --> 01:10:33,000
Tackle tackle tackle because we
have not done that.

1097
01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:36,500
Well, the last few weeks either
we have not done it well at all.

1098
01:10:38,200 --> 01:10:41,400
I don't think we've actually had
a really good tackling game

1099
01:10:42,400 --> 01:10:43,900
since middle Tennessee.
See.

1100
01:10:45,600 --> 01:10:47,600
That sounds about right that
sound about right?

1101
01:10:49,000 --> 01:10:50,600
And when I say that, I don't
mean.

1102
01:10:50,600 --> 01:10:52,900
Has there been quarters?
Where we have tackled great?

1103
01:10:52,900 --> 01:10:54,400
Yes.
Absolutely.

1104
01:10:54,400 --> 01:10:58,900
There have been quarters where
we tackle great in the one thing

1105
01:10:58,900 --> 01:11:04,000
that you mentioned about Durant,
that's a little bit more

1106
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:06,500
worrisome than the BC back.
Is you mentioned that

1107
01:11:06,500 --> 01:11:12,900
acceleration to the edge?
You know, when we talk about the

1108
01:11:12,900 --> 01:11:18,400
tackling, if we don't tackle
him, it's not going to be what

1109
01:11:18,400 --> 01:11:20,300
we talked about last week, the
less than 20.

1110
01:11:20,300 --> 01:11:21,800
How many we kept them less than
20?

1111
01:11:22,600 --> 01:11:23,900
I think you could break a big
one.

1112
01:11:24,600 --> 01:11:29,300
I really feel that because of
the couple times of watch them,

1113
01:11:29,300 --> 01:11:31,100
you talking about that
acceleration?

1114
01:11:31,200 --> 01:11:35,300
It's not going to be this always
slow them down and then we got

1115
01:11:35,300 --> 01:11:37,300
him.
Six yards later, I know you're

1116
01:11:37,300 --> 01:11:39,500
going to slowing down.
You're going to get about 16

1117
01:11:39,500 --> 01:11:42,800
yards later.
For 26 yards, later.

1118
01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:49,700
So you know tackle, I don't
know, I know it's getting later

1119
01:11:49,700 --> 01:11:53,500
in the season but they've got to
get that somewhat corrected in

1120
01:11:53,500 --> 01:11:55,800
these next three games.
Absolutely.

1121
01:11:55,800 --> 01:11:56,900
Yeah.
All right.

1122
01:11:56,900 --> 01:12:01,100
Last big piece here Braun.
They do have a tendency to turn

1123
01:12:01,100 --> 01:12:05,900
the ball over.
I think we need to lease be a

1124
01:12:06,500 --> 01:12:12,400
plus 2.
Yeah, I think we do a plus 2.

1125
01:12:12,400 --> 01:12:13,800
I think we win the game
comfortably.

1126
01:12:14,600 --> 01:12:17,300
If it said yeah 0, or they win
it.

1127
01:12:20,100 --> 01:12:23,600
Get your drinks out.
It's really locks out.

1128
01:12:24,100 --> 01:12:27,500
Get your Tylenol out.
It's not going to be a fun game

1129
01:12:27,500 --> 01:12:30,800
to watch as it gets later.
Yeah.

1130
01:12:30,800 --> 01:12:35,300
And just talking about the
turnovers Gunners prone to a bad

1131
01:12:35,300 --> 01:12:38,900
decision here.
There there was a fumbled

1132
01:12:38,900 --> 01:12:43,000
exchange at the 1-yard line
against Pitt that pretty much

1133
01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:45,700
took at least three points off
the board for Duke.

1134
01:12:45,700 --> 01:12:49,400
So and they had had a previous
fumble on that same Drive.

1135
01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:53,000
That they got on so they will
put the ball in the turf.

1136
01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:57,300
They will throw it to you.
We just got to capitalize on

1137
01:12:57,300 --> 01:12:59,700
those.
Make sure we get turnovers there

1138
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:02,900
and I think if we like you said,
if we win the turnover battle

1139
01:13:02,900 --> 01:13:06,100
especially when it by 2, I think
that sets us up pretty good.

1140
01:13:07,000 --> 01:13:10,000
All right.
Brian prediction time, I lived

1141
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:11,700
last week you leave this week,
sir.

1142
01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:16,200
I think this is closer than we
want it to be, but I think we

1143
01:13:16,200 --> 01:13:19,400
pull it out.
I've got the Hokies winning.

1144
01:13:19,500 --> 01:13:23,300
420.
All right yeah definitely closer

1145
01:13:23,300 --> 01:13:26,600
than what the experts think.
I mean it was actually let me

1146
01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:29,900
pull up one of the apps I have
here this game.

1147
01:13:32,600 --> 01:13:37,400
As of 11:30 Eastern Standard
Time, on a Wednesday night is,

1148
01:13:37,900 --> 01:13:44,800
we're laying 11 and a half.
It had a Sonata that's asked on

1149
01:13:44,800 --> 01:13:48,000
a mount for a team that just
lost to Boston College and got

1150
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:50,300
handled and we don't know if
their quarterback starting.

1151
01:13:50,700 --> 01:13:52,900
Exactly.
So maybe they know he is

1152
01:13:52,900 --> 01:13:56,400
starving.
Um, The over unders 50.

1153
01:13:56,400 --> 01:14:01,600
They're saying, we're winning
this game like 3120 that if we

1154
01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:03,500
go plus 2 in the turnover.
Yeah.

1155
01:14:04,200 --> 01:14:07,600
But if you're saying everything
is going to be, even I'll still

1156
01:14:07,600 --> 01:14:10,200
think we win this game.
I think we pull one out for the

1157
01:14:10,200 --> 01:14:12,200
seniors for the Hall of Fame,
guys.

1158
01:14:12,200 --> 01:14:20,200
I'm gonna go 2720 at, think we
get one more score than what you

1159
01:14:20,200 --> 01:14:22,500
think.
I can kick some probably, some,

1160
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:26,100
we get a field goal early or
Something and we always stay

1161
01:14:26,100 --> 01:14:29,300
ahead of them.
So we're both picking for the

1162
01:14:29,300 --> 01:14:32,600
Hokies this week.
We're not know dissenting

1163
01:14:32,600 --> 01:14:36,200
opinions between first time,
long time we've picked for the

1164
01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:40,100
Hokies on the same week Richmond
Richmond.

1165
01:14:40,300 --> 01:14:45,700
Yeah, I think so.
Well, the last games they want

1166
01:14:45,700 --> 01:14:48,000
to.
So let's roll on Brian.

1167
01:14:48,200 --> 01:14:51,900
Let's take a look at our
Saturday, pick them's Brian.

1168
01:14:52,200 --> 01:15:00,000
After the five and five week. 85
and one I'm 5941 and one if you

1169
01:15:00,008 --> 01:15:03,000
would have made every bet you
would be in the plus category

1170
01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:07,900
for us.
So, I want to listen to us.

1171
01:15:08,200 --> 01:15:10,200
We're doing alright, we're not
doing bad.

1172
01:15:12,400 --> 01:15:14,100
I mean, we're better than a coin
flip.

1173
01:15:14,100 --> 01:15:17,900
So we're better than a call.
All right, Brian.

1174
01:15:17,900 --> 01:15:20,900
We're going to start today UNC
pit.

1175
01:15:21,100 --> 01:15:25,400
I'll lead some time leading the
thing and I'm gonna go with pit.

1176
01:15:25,400 --> 01:15:30,000
I don't see six-and-a-half being
enough for Carolina to cover.

1177
01:15:31,500 --> 01:15:34,700
I mean, they gave up 55 to wake
and I know wakes a good offense.

1178
01:15:34,800 --> 01:15:40,300
So as pit I do think that was an
emotional Victory or emotional

1179
01:15:40,300 --> 01:15:44,600
game for Carolina and they
needed a bunch of fluky stuff to

1180
01:15:44,600 --> 01:15:49,400
win that game and to cover.
But this is a Thursday night.

1181
01:15:49,900 --> 01:15:52,700
So short week for both teams and
it's at Pitt.

1182
01:15:53,300 --> 01:15:57,100
There will not be much energy
there that's why I'm going pit.

1183
01:15:58,600 --> 01:16:01,000
I'm with you and it's got a lot
to do.

1184
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:04,100
I'll be when you look at what
happened last week with you and

1185
01:16:04,100 --> 01:16:08,300
see they needed wakes running
back to get injured and the

1186
01:16:08,300 --> 01:16:12,300
offense to forget how to offense
for most of the fourth quarter

1187
01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:16,500
to pull that out.
I don't see that happening

1188
01:16:16,500 --> 01:16:19,700
again, spit.
I think you're going to get a

1189
01:16:21,000 --> 01:16:23,400
solid Kenny Pickett for most of
the game.

1190
01:16:24,700 --> 01:16:26,500
What's the what's the rent?
A banach Anna.

1191
01:16:26,500 --> 01:16:28,300
You're going to get, I can't say
his name.

1192
01:16:28,900 --> 01:16:32,800
You get a whole lot of him, and
I think they're going to be able

1193
01:16:32,800 --> 01:16:36,100
to win by about.
I'd say, it's gonna be about a

1194
01:16:36,108 --> 01:16:39,200
nine or ten pointer.
All right, let's go and put in

1195
01:16:39,200 --> 01:16:40,200
that game.
All right, Brian.

1196
01:16:40,200 --> 01:16:42,700
Let's take a look at this one.
Syracuse Louisville.

1197
01:16:42,900 --> 01:16:46,000
This is at Louisville.
Louisville home favorite laying

1198
01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:51,200
3.2 you taken.
I'm taking huge to win outright.

1199
01:16:52,900 --> 01:16:56,300
I think they're gonna be able to
run the ball, all game against

1200
01:16:56,300 --> 01:16:59,300
them.
I think Schrader's going to make

1201
01:16:59,300 --> 01:17:02,700
enough plays in the passing game
for it to be an outright win.

1202
01:17:03,300 --> 01:17:05,500
Yeah, I'm with you on that.
I'll take using the point.

1203
01:17:05,500 --> 01:17:07,800
I do see them winning out right
as well.

1204
01:17:09,400 --> 01:17:13,900
You know, Louisville four and
five had Clemson.

1205
01:17:14,200 --> 01:17:19,700
Couldn't close the deal where
Syracuse coming off a bye week,

1206
01:17:19,800 --> 01:17:21,500
I'm on the verge of Bowl
eligibility.

1207
01:17:21,500 --> 01:17:26,400
On the burger, probably keeping
Andy know his job and I think

1208
01:17:26,400 --> 01:17:29,600
they get it done here with a
very solid running game.

1209
01:17:29,700 --> 01:17:32,000
Yeah, I think Sean Tucker is
going to be satisfied with his

1210
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:38,400
performance.
That that like, there's two,

1211
01:17:38,400 --> 01:17:43,800
it's so great.
It's almost like the your year

1212
01:17:43,800 --> 01:17:47,400
end results for a company.
Every day.

1213
01:17:48,700 --> 01:17:54,100
Here's my setup.
So, you know, it's awesome to

1214
01:17:54,100 --> 01:17:56,300
see that.
It's it makes you laugh.

1215
01:17:56,300 --> 01:18:01,400
If you don't follow her, haven't
caught it, you know, definitely

1216
01:18:01,400 --> 01:18:05,900
do that the other Peace, you
know?

1217
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:10,200
Louisville's almost giving up 28
points a game.

1218
01:18:10,700 --> 01:18:13,100
I think Syracuse will get that
plus a little bit more.

1219
01:18:14,100 --> 01:18:16,900
Hey, Brian.
I have to lead on this one too.

1220
01:18:17,600 --> 01:18:22,400
I have no clue what the betting
public is thinking, BC, Georgia,

1221
01:18:22,400 --> 01:18:23,700
Tech.
Yes.

1222
01:18:23,700 --> 01:18:30,300
This game is at Bobby, Dodd
Stadium and something Georgia

1223
01:18:30,300 --> 01:18:33,100
Tech is getting the full to home
field advantage.

1224
01:18:34,400 --> 01:18:38,000
Jerk kovitch extra week back
probably full week of practice.

1225
01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:40,900
Getting the hand better solid
running game.

1226
01:18:40,900 --> 01:18:44,100
We know how bad Georgia Tech's
running defense is.

1227
01:18:44,100 --> 01:18:49,700
We saw that firsthand?
I think BC not only wins out

1228
01:18:49,700 --> 01:18:51,900
right.
I think they make this thing

1229
01:18:51,900 --> 01:18:54,400
like the 14, maybe Seventeen
Point win.

1230
01:18:56,300 --> 01:18:59,000
I don't think it's that much but
I think it's a solid touchdown

1231
01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:04,900
win for BC much like we
described Heinz Field.

1232
01:19:05,300 --> 01:19:07,700
Bobby Dodd is the opposite of
electric.

1233
01:19:09,700 --> 01:19:13,600
It is, it is not an atmosphere
that gives really any home field

1234
01:19:13,600 --> 01:19:17,400
advantage.
But unlike Hines it also isn't

1235
01:19:17,400 --> 01:19:21,400
dead to the point where the
opposing team like a detriment

1236
01:19:21,400 --> 01:19:24,000
G.
Yeah, I'm just dead.

1237
01:19:25,200 --> 01:19:26,700
Team.
Yes.

1238
01:19:26,700 --> 01:19:31,600
You feel the energy coming off?
Well it's a little bit of a more

1239
01:19:31,700 --> 01:19:37,100
comfortable State.
Like Heinz is such is so big

1240
01:19:37,400 --> 01:19:41,000
that we thousand seat Stadium
will like 9,000 people there.

1241
01:19:41,500 --> 01:19:46,100
Yeah it just it feels weird.
Yeah I think Boston College is

1242
01:19:46,100 --> 01:19:48,600
able to run the ball.
I think they're with another

1243
01:19:48,600 --> 01:19:51,700
week.
You get your Kovac playing a

1244
01:19:51,700 --> 01:19:53,600
little bit more crisp in the
passing game.

1245
01:19:53,600 --> 01:19:57,600
You'll see is a flowers have A
few big game gainers in the

1246
01:19:57,608 --> 01:20:00,200
passing game and I think they
take care of business.

1247
01:20:00,700 --> 01:20:03,700
All right, we're 343 I have a
feeling, we're going to be

1248
01:20:03,700 --> 01:20:09,400
similar on this one to FSU,
Miami, a rivalry of our youth.

1249
01:20:09,400 --> 01:20:12,000
That was unlike any other wide,
right?

1250
01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:17,100
One ride right to battles every
year, fights every year.

1251
01:20:18,800 --> 01:20:22,500
And I feel like this is might be
the smelliest line of all.

1252
01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:27,600
Miami is laying two and a half
points and I know that, you

1253
01:20:27,600 --> 01:20:33,600
know, this game is in
Tallahassee. but, you know,

1254
01:20:35,800 --> 01:20:38,900
people watching Florida State
play in somebody.

1255
01:20:40,400 --> 01:20:42,600
Well yeah they almost beat
Clemson.

1256
01:20:42,600 --> 01:20:44,300
Clemson is not the normal
Clemson.

1257
01:20:45,600 --> 01:20:47,400
What do you say on this?
When you get to leave?

1258
01:20:48,700 --> 01:20:52,400
I'm taking Miami.
I think, I think it's just gonna

1259
01:20:52,400 --> 01:20:54,300
be too much offense from Miami's
in.

1260
01:20:54,300 --> 01:20:57,600
I think they do just enough on
defense to to keep it.

1261
01:20:57,600 --> 01:21:00,300
I think it's still probably a
one score game, but it's not,

1262
01:21:00,400 --> 01:21:02,500
it's not coming down to the wire
at the two and a half.

1263
01:21:03,200 --> 01:21:05,600
Yeah, I'm with you on that.
I don't, I don't see it as a

1264
01:21:05,608 --> 01:21:08,600
huge blowout, but I can't lay
two and a half points.

1265
01:21:08,600 --> 01:21:10,600
That that she right now.
They're not playing good enough

1266
01:21:10,600 --> 01:21:16,100
football to, you know, to be
Close.

1267
01:21:16,400 --> 01:21:19,700
Yep.
All right, UVA, Notre, Dame.

1268
01:21:19,700 --> 01:21:22,100
This is at Scott Stadium, just
up the street here.

1269
01:21:22,100 --> 01:21:26,900
It's going to be a prime-time
game. 7:30, ABC, we get the ACC

1270
01:21:26,900 --> 01:21:35,800
Network, they get ABC, Notre
Dame Lane five and a half and

1271
01:21:36,000 --> 01:21:37,700
I'm going to take UVA in this
one.

1272
01:21:38,400 --> 01:21:41,300
I can't feel them winning out
right.

1273
01:21:41,300 --> 01:21:45,500
But I think their offense
running Armstrong is playing

1274
01:21:46,800 --> 01:21:48,400
actually.
Take that back.

1275
01:21:48,600 --> 01:21:50,800
Is he playing this week?
Brian can you effort me real

1276
01:21:50,800 --> 01:21:55,700
quick?
Because now, I thought I already

1277
01:21:55,700 --> 01:22:00,200
was playing, but now I'm double.
Kicking myself.

1278
01:22:03,500 --> 01:22:10,400
Let's see, status uncertain,
mmm, but he hasn't been ruled

1279
01:22:10,400 --> 01:22:14,900
out.
So I mean that's Take back, good

1280
01:22:14,900 --> 01:22:19,000
things about UVA.
Take that back, take that back

1281
01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:21,100
completely.
Give me Notre Dame.

1282
01:22:22,400 --> 01:22:25,400
If there is, if there is a
potential he's not playing.

1283
01:22:25,600 --> 01:22:28,100
That means he's probably not
practicing this week.

1284
01:22:28,300 --> 01:22:31,600
If those ribs are still sore,
Marcus stream is going to pop

1285
01:22:31,600 --> 01:22:34,800
him a couple times and he will
not be playing the rest of the

1286
01:22:34,800 --> 01:22:36,800
game.
Kyle Hamilton will fly in there.

1287
01:22:39,900 --> 01:22:41,900
Yeah, I'm actually going to go
UVA here.

1288
01:22:41,900 --> 01:22:44,100
I thought I still think that
Notre Dame wins out right?

1289
01:22:44,100 --> 01:22:50,000
But Notre Dame plays a lot of
close games against Good

1290
01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:53,100
competition.
I think it's going to stay a

1291
01:22:53,100 --> 01:22:54,800
close game.
It's probably gonna be a for

1292
01:22:54,800 --> 01:22:57,400
three-point victory for Notre
Dame.

1293
01:22:58,300 --> 01:23:03,100
UVA keeps it close.
Obviously, that changes if

1294
01:23:03,100 --> 01:23:04,700
Brandon Armstrong is a full, no
go.

1295
01:23:04,700 --> 01:23:06,900
But I think, even without the
week of practice, I think they

1296
01:23:06,900 --> 01:23:10,000
still are able to get things.
Done enough on offense to keep

1297
01:23:10,000 --> 01:23:12,200
it close.
We'll see, My worry, is this,

1298
01:23:12,200 --> 01:23:16,000
their defense is so bad and
Notre Dame is a solid defense.

1299
01:23:16,500 --> 01:23:20,400
I think it becomes one of those
things Armstrong's not and if

1300
01:23:20,400 --> 01:23:25,000
they get down early like
14-nothing 14-3, they're going

1301
01:23:25,000 --> 01:23:28,800
to start forcing it even more
than normal against a good back

1302
01:23:28,800 --> 01:23:31,200
in and that's where things could
get ugly.

1303
01:23:32,300 --> 01:23:35,200
Although, I think, I think what
Bronco will probably try to do,

1304
01:23:35,200 --> 01:23:37,000
I think he'll probably try to
crawl this game.

1305
01:23:37,800 --> 01:23:40,800
I think if brings if he doesn't
have Armstrong, he will grind it

1306
01:23:40,800 --> 01:23:45,100
to a halt as much as possible.
Yep, look for the football

1307
01:23:45,100 --> 01:23:49,200
player, to take a lot of direct
snaps God.

1308
01:23:49,800 --> 01:23:53,400
All right, Brian next one up NC
State Wake.

1309
01:23:53,400 --> 01:23:56,700
A ranked battle in the ACC
weight coming off.

1310
01:23:56,700 --> 01:24:03,800
Their first loss of the year is
getting just two points at home

1311
01:24:04,400 --> 01:24:09,700
versus the Wolfpack.
What do you say on this is the

1312
01:24:09,700 --> 01:24:12,800
matchup of the ACC, right?
I mean, this is the best.

1313
01:24:13,200 --> 01:24:16,000
This is the best matchup in
conference that we've had all

1314
01:24:16,000 --> 01:24:20,100
year it in terms of ranked
opponents in terms of Overall

1315
01:24:20,100 --> 01:24:25,800
record.
And I'm going to take n c--

1316
01:24:25,800 --> 01:24:31,500
state.
Because with running back out

1317
01:24:31,500 --> 01:24:35,000
for Wake potentially, I haven't
read any whether he's out for

1318
01:24:35,000 --> 01:24:38,500
long-term or not, but he was
carted off.

1319
01:24:38,500 --> 01:24:41,900
I don't think he's going to be
good enough to go in this one.

1320
01:24:41,900 --> 01:24:45,100
I think that's the difference
offenses and quite clicking,

1321
01:24:45,100 --> 01:24:47,600
like it needs to NC State takes
care of business.

1322
01:24:48,100 --> 01:24:51,100
Yep, I'm with you on that.
I'm going to take NC State as

1323
01:24:51,100 --> 01:24:52,500
well.
A, this is going to be the best

1324
01:24:52,500 --> 01:24:55,300
defense.
We get seen all year with a

1325
01:24:55,308 --> 01:24:59,400
steady offense, the running back
Per week.

1326
01:24:59,600 --> 01:25:03,600
Plus if we can remember go back
to 2019, when they came into the

1327
01:25:03,600 --> 01:25:10,300
lane with what, two losses to
close losses, we handled them.

1328
01:25:11,400 --> 01:25:13,100
The rest of the season they
weren't right.

1329
01:25:13,800 --> 01:25:16,400
It seems like there's one thing
about a Clausen team that they

1330
01:25:16,400 --> 01:25:19,200
get punched in the mouth.
It usually takes them multiple

1331
01:25:19,200 --> 01:25:23,100
weeks to find recover.
So I'm going to take the two

1332
01:25:23,100 --> 01:25:25,300
points with NC State because I
see an outright win.

1333
01:25:26,700 --> 01:25:31,200
All right, bro, I got a really
interesting for you when here

1334
01:25:32,000 --> 01:25:36,000
and I'll life and time leading
Marshall and UAB.

1335
01:25:36,900 --> 01:25:39,400
Hmm, wonder why I want to talk
about this game?

1336
01:25:40,500 --> 01:25:44,400
I don't know, man.
Man, I'm not sure if it has any

1337
01:25:44,400 --> 01:25:48,100
tie-ins to Virginia Tech at all.
I will you?

1338
01:25:48,100 --> 01:25:52,900
No, no, no, nothing that I've
heard of tie-in.

1339
01:25:52,900 --> 01:25:56,200
Super jigna tech with Marshall
or UAB.

1340
01:25:56,200 --> 01:25:59,700
But just thought, if we talk
about the Charles soft lead,

1341
01:26:00,100 --> 01:26:02,900
Marshall Thundering Herd, it's
six and three.

1342
01:26:03,900 --> 01:26:06,300
You know, Charles Merrill is
that Maryland, native turtles

1343
01:26:06,300 --> 01:26:08,200
Huff.
Maryland native.

1344
01:26:08,200 --> 01:26:11,000
Charles Warren.
Raising the DMV.

1345
01:26:11,700 --> 01:26:16,200
Play four years of Collegiate
football down at Hampton and has

1346
01:26:16,200 --> 01:26:19,000
been on a great journey since
then coached at Maryland.

1347
01:26:19,000 --> 01:26:23,500
With region for a year been 10
years between Nick, Saban, Joe,

1348
01:26:23,500 --> 01:26:28,600
Moorhead, and James Franklin, at
Penn State really great

1349
01:26:28,600 --> 01:26:32,300
recruiter of Virginia.
I mean, he was stealing so many

1350
01:26:32,300 --> 01:26:34,400
kids from Penn State while he
was there.

1351
01:26:35,000 --> 01:26:38,000
You know, the other thing wrong
was also an associate head

1352
01:26:38,000 --> 01:26:40,100
coach.
For Nick Saban says, a lot about

1353
01:26:40,100 --> 01:26:45,200
the movie is Yeah.
Yeah, that sounds like a very

1354
01:26:45,200 --> 01:26:48,500
solid solid head.
Coach that Marshall has, they're

1355
01:26:49,800 --> 01:26:55,100
very solid and Coach, let's talk
about the game, all the game.

1356
01:26:55,100 --> 01:26:58,900
Well, Marshalls laying five,
this is a home game for them,

1357
01:27:00,700 --> 01:27:05,100
you know?
And don't get me wrong, you a be

1358
01:27:05,200 --> 01:27:09,900
good in their own, right.
They're both 6 and 3 and I'm

1359
01:27:09,900 --> 01:27:11,900
just going to just throw this
one out there.

1360
01:27:11,900 --> 01:27:15,200
I'm going to give it to Huff,
who after a three-game losing

1361
01:27:15,200 --> 01:27:19,300
streak has, right at his ship
and has his guys playing great

1362
01:27:19,300 --> 01:27:22,000
winning three in a row.
So I'm going to take Charles

1363
01:27:22,000 --> 01:27:26,800
huff and the Marshall
Thundering, Herd lady.

1364
01:27:26,800 --> 01:27:30,100
I'm right there with you.
It's down, yep, I'm right there

1365
01:27:30,100 --> 01:27:32,900
with you.
I think the huh, fled Thundering

1366
01:27:32,900 --> 01:27:34,700
Herd.
Take care of business.

1367
01:27:36,000 --> 01:27:37,700
Hey, keep it moving, keep it
rolling.

1368
01:27:38,300 --> 01:27:42,700
Exactly.
All right, got talk about hidden

1369
01:27:42,700 --> 01:27:45,900
hooker, right?
We got to, he's had a great

1370
01:27:45,900 --> 01:27:50,700
year, he's a great year, he's
on, he's on a few watch list for

1371
01:27:50,700 --> 01:27:53,300
the or few list for the end of
the year.

1372
01:27:53,300 --> 01:27:57,100
He's getting more talked about
potentially getting drafted.

1373
01:27:57,500 --> 01:27:58,700
He's a little baby.
A baby.

1374
01:27:58,700 --> 01:28:02,300
A Brian semi-finalists lister's.
Yeah something like that and

1375
01:28:02,300 --> 01:28:05,400
he's like he went he went from
unranked to light number six on

1376
01:28:05,400 --> 01:28:09,600
some of The big boards for the
NFL but he has a absolute

1377
01:28:09,600 --> 01:28:14,900
monstrous task at hand down in
Athens.

1378
01:28:15,700 --> 01:28:21,000
They are getting 20 and a half
points, but it's been kind of

1379
01:28:21,008 --> 01:28:23,400
tumultuous this week down in
Georgia.

1380
01:28:23,400 --> 01:28:26,600
One of their linebackers getting
arrested with a felony, rape

1381
01:28:26,600 --> 01:28:34,200
charge, you know, something to
3:30 on, CBS, the line just went

1382
01:28:34,200 --> 01:28:39,600
down to 20 Got 20 and a half.
Georgia laying the points.

1383
01:28:39,600 --> 01:28:41,200
What do you say to this one?
Brian.

1384
01:28:42,400 --> 01:28:44,100
I'm going to take Tennessee
here.

1385
01:28:44,100 --> 01:28:46,700
I think they keep it close
enough.

1386
01:28:48,300 --> 01:28:50,900
I haven't really seen a game
that hendon's played in where

1387
01:28:50,900 --> 01:28:52,700
anyone really ran away.
I know.

1388
01:28:52,700 --> 01:28:57,000
Ugh is a different Beast than
everybody really on anyone's

1389
01:28:57,000 --> 01:29:02,400
schedule yet, but I think just
the combination of factors for

1390
01:29:02,800 --> 01:29:07,100
Georgia and Hendon playing at a
really high level.

1391
01:29:07,100 --> 01:29:09,200
I think they do enough to to
keep it closed.

1392
01:29:09,200 --> 01:29:16,200
It's still probably 17 points
but I think they, they keep it

1393
01:29:16,200 --> 01:29:18,200
that close.
So I'll take Tennessee here,

1394
01:29:18,600 --> 01:29:20,500
that's the exact number I had in
my head.

1395
01:29:21,400 --> 01:29:26,000
I think Georgia wins this game
31:17.

1396
01:29:26,100 --> 01:29:29,400
I think.
Tendon keeps them in.

1397
01:29:29,400 --> 01:29:32,600
I think he throws a couple good
touchdown passes to keep them

1398
01:29:32,600 --> 01:29:35,800
always Within Reach.
I think Georgia constricts them

1399
01:29:35,800 --> 01:29:40,900
later in the game and puts them
out as what they can do.

1400
01:29:41,300 --> 01:29:44,100
Because of the type of Defense,
there are even losing a stud

1401
01:29:44,100 --> 01:29:46,300
linebacker like they have this
week.

1402
01:29:47,600 --> 01:29:49,400
All right, Brian, will check
this one real quick.

1403
01:29:49,400 --> 01:29:54,800
Michigan Penn State little while
ago, this line was one For Penn

1404
01:29:54,800 --> 01:29:57,900
State.
And actually it has flipped

1405
01:29:58,400 --> 01:30:01,700
while I don't know why its
flipped, but it is flipped

1406
01:30:01,700 --> 01:30:06,400
Michigan Lane, one and a half.
Now, let's make those updates to

1407
01:30:06,400 --> 01:30:08,500
our sheets here.
Yep.

1408
01:30:10,600 --> 01:30:14,400
I gotta make an update.
Yeah, somebody would say, can't

1409
01:30:14,400 --> 01:30:15,900
you ever did them do this after
the show?

1410
01:30:15,900 --> 01:30:19,200
No, because when I get after the
show, I'm going to bed.

1411
01:30:19,400 --> 01:30:21,700
But, Michigan laying one and a
half run.

1412
01:30:23,500 --> 01:30:27,700
And I'll lay it on, I think
missions a better team this

1413
01:30:27,700 --> 01:30:29,800
year.
They've had one bad quarter

1414
01:30:29,800 --> 01:30:35,200
football all year and it costs
them that game in East Lansing

1415
01:30:36,100 --> 01:30:37,800
one of their two rivalry games
of the year.

1416
01:30:37,800 --> 01:30:39,300
So I mean it was a big game for
them.

1417
01:30:39,600 --> 01:30:43,000
It was a big thing.
Yep, and I'm actually right

1418
01:30:43,000 --> 01:30:45,100
there with you, I'm going to
take Michigan here.

1419
01:30:45,100 --> 01:30:48,300
I think that that I was going to
have them as the outright winner

1420
01:30:48,300 --> 01:30:51,400
when the line was one for Penn
State.

1421
01:30:51,400 --> 01:30:54,300
So I definitely have them today
in the The W here.

1422
01:30:54,700 --> 01:30:58,800
So I'll lay the one and a half.
Yeah, I'm trying to figure out

1423
01:30:58,800 --> 01:31:01,400
what's flipped on that game
because I looked at that this

1424
01:31:01,400 --> 01:31:04,800
afternoon and it was Penn State
by one.

1425
01:31:05,100 --> 01:31:10,900
So a two and a half Point Flip,
not a three, and no, two and a

1426
01:31:10,907 --> 01:31:16,300
half Point Flip.
So interesting, I'll be doing

1427
01:31:16,300 --> 01:31:19,000
some reading tomorrow or some
listening tomorrow morning.

1428
01:31:19,500 --> 01:31:22,200
All right, Brian?
Finally game of the week.

1429
01:31:23,400 --> 01:31:26,800
Probably one of the biggest
games of the week especially for

1430
01:31:26,800 --> 01:31:29,600
Oklahoma talked about last few,
the nice.

1431
01:31:29,600 --> 01:31:31,800
Next few weeks are going to be
really big for them.

1432
01:31:32,100 --> 01:31:35,500
They get the 13th ranked Baylor
Bears.

1433
01:31:36,000 --> 01:31:41,600
This is going to be in Waco.
Oklahoma is the five and a half

1434
01:31:41,600 --> 01:31:45,000
Point favorite?
What do you say on this one?

1435
01:31:47,000 --> 01:31:51,900
I'm going to go Oklahoma here.
I think this is kind of a one of

1436
01:31:51,900 --> 01:31:54,900
the wins that starts getting
them back in the conversation to

1437
01:31:54,900 --> 01:31:57,200
jump into that that playoff
picture.

1438
01:31:58,200 --> 01:32:00,100
I think they get a fairly
signature win.

1439
01:32:00,100 --> 01:32:02,900
I don't think it's a blow out of
Baylor but I think it's a solid

1440
01:32:02,900 --> 01:32:06,000
10 point win.
All right, I'm going to take

1441
01:32:06,000 --> 01:32:08,300
bail on this game, I think this
game is going to be closer than

1442
01:32:08,300 --> 01:32:13,100
what people think, Oklahoma
still has offensive problems.

1443
01:32:13,100 --> 01:32:16,300
I think a random will scheme
enough on defense to keep it

1444
01:32:16,300 --> 01:32:20,000
closed.
So I think Oklahoma wins field

1445
01:32:20,000 --> 01:32:26,400
goal 34 points, but I think it's
going to be a war on Saturday

1446
01:32:26,400 --> 01:32:33,900
High Noon, High Noon, High Noon,
first time in weeks that I will

1447
01:32:33,900 --> 01:32:38,400
get to sit down and have a full
day of Collegiate football.

1448
01:32:38,800 --> 01:32:42,200
So, Bryan we have agreed on all
the two games this week?

1449
01:32:42,700 --> 01:32:46,700
Yeah, Brian is not clearly.
There's there's some weeks.

1450
01:32:46,800 --> 01:32:49,000
I will tell you when you when we
get behind we were like I'm

1451
01:32:49,000 --> 01:32:51,900
going to I'm going to go
opposite just because I'm trying

1452
01:32:51,900 --> 01:32:54,700
to play catch-up, this is not
one of those weeks.

1453
01:32:54,700 --> 01:32:57,200
Huh.
Not just the way the lines are

1454
01:32:57,200 --> 01:33:00,500
Fallen.
It just feels like it's not a

1455
01:33:00,500 --> 01:33:05,500
week to roll the dice just to do
it trying to strategically

1456
01:33:05,500 --> 01:33:07,100
place.
My dice rolls here.

1457
01:33:08,500 --> 01:33:13,400
Ironically I'm going with with
UVA on one of those so y'all can

1458
01:33:13,400 --> 01:33:17,100
hate me if you want to.
But If Brandon Armstrong is in

1459
01:33:17,100 --> 01:33:18,500
that game I think they keep it
close.

1460
01:33:18,500 --> 01:33:22,200
So we'll see.
Yeah, we'll see on, but it's

1461
01:33:22,200 --> 01:33:26,400
laid out there now like again,
if Armstrong was playing, I'd

1462
01:33:26,400 --> 01:33:29,900
take UVA with the points, but
I'm gonna, I'm Gonna Roll the

1463
01:33:29,900 --> 01:33:31,700
Dice and see it's the opposite
way.

1464
01:33:32,400 --> 01:33:35,500
Anything breaking in the last
hour, 90 minutes here, wearing

1465
01:33:35,500 --> 01:33:38,800
or hour and 30 minutes, he had
nothing jumped off that.

1466
01:33:38,800 --> 01:33:40,300
I see man, I think we're good to
go.

1467
01:33:40,800 --> 01:33:43,500
