The Hokies were able to prevail in a wild back and forth contest in Lane Stadium on Friday night, taking down the Golden Bears in 2OT with a final score of 42-34. We Tell the Truth about a fun but chaotic game in Blacksburg. We then turn our attention to Louisville as we get to Know the Enemy ahead of Saturday's 3PM home tilt. We wrap as always by picking our Big Screeners of the week.

weekend getaway.
Definitely next spring, summer,

Lot of great fun things to do up
11
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,240
there near 1 of Shelton's
favorite towns.
12
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,960
There is a Mcadoo's in
Lexington, everybody, just so
13
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:29,760
you know.
Boom, Curtis, you said Mcadoo's
14
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,360
in front of Shelton Moss.
What are you?
15
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,240
I'm going to keep saying it to
every time Shelton's on here,
16
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,040
I'm going to keep mentioning it.
Owned by a proud hokey.
17
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,200
Fishing, kayaking, anything you
want to do outdoor wise right
18
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,160

Great place to stay.

21
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,600
Welcome back Shelton, welcome
back Tally.
22
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,560
We're it's all of us again.
Woo Hoo you.
23
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:02,040
Know from A2 for to a four for.
Yeah, good to be back, I guess.
24
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:03,320
What the?
Hell, you call that thing.
25
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:06,800
I guess it's an awesome night
for me.
26
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,920
Last time I had some some brief
distractions watching watching
27
00:03:10,920 --> 00:03:12,040
football.
Some people in the comments on
28
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:16,400
me know about it, but happy to
be back after, especially after
29
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,480
a big a big Hokies win.
We'll get into it.
30
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,880
But it awesome game, not just
the win, but the fact that there
31
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,160
was so much awesome stuff that
happened, like the shirtless
32
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:28,000
dudes in the stands, you know,
the, the Super cold weather had
33
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,040
a bunch of my friends go and,
you know, send me a bunch of fun
34
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,640
pictures.
So it's just fun to get a win.
35
00:03:32,640 --> 00:03:35,080
And obviously had the the the
Twitter war leading up to it,
36
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,520
the Calgary them trolling the
memes.
37
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,800
That was awesome too.
So just a great, great, fun week
38
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,680
of college football.
Definitely fun week Cali.
39
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,080
Yeah, no, I was going to say me
and Sheldon probably should just
40
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,680
drop off and let you and Brian
run it because that seems to be
41
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:54,000
a winning, be a winning success
there.
42
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,680
Maybe we need to stay into that
mindset of us just watching and
43
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,120
let y'all do it if that's going
to help us get a win or
44
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:03,680
something.
Oh hey, maybe.
45
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,040
We can.
Just let y'all do it so I don't.
46
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,400
Believe.
It yeah definitely definitely a
47
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:16,839
good a good day, a good a good
game good week good win had a
48
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,160
lot going on over this way.
Wife just got home she had
49
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:26,400
surgery yesterday so yeah she
got home today has been moving
50
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,560
around good.
She had to have a bulging disc
51
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:34,880
fixed in her neck back area.
So a little bit scary to think
52
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,720
about but you know prayerfully,
thankfully the Lord took care of
53
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,760
everything and everything went
good.
54
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,600
So she is back home and moving
around actually with the to
55
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,360
Walmart to do her walking
because apparently she has to
56
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,640
get steps in so she doesn't get
stiff.
57
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,480
So she went to Walmart to get
that done.
58
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,320
So anyway great win by the
Hokies.
59
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,320
Glad to be back.
How y'all feeling?
60
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,520
I'm feeling good, but I'm going
to just dress some real quick
61
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,200
because I do not want it to be
6000 comments over here.
62
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:06,880
Yes, we see Twitter people
saying James Franklin.
63
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:13,600
We don't know yet, y'all, until
the person is introduced in
64
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,920
Merriman in front of the Hokie
background.
65
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,240
He's holding a jersey with a
helmet.
66
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,120
We don't know.
I don't believe, OK.
67
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,360
And that's when I believe in the
day that happens, we will be
68
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,440
here, we will talk about it.
Because three weeks ago all of
69
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,640
us sat here, all of us gave
names, we gave our input on a
70
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,720
bunch of guys.
Y'all came and gave input on a
71
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,880
bunch of guys.
But until it happens, we don't
72
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,400
know.
So put that to rest.
73
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,200
Because we acknowledge, we, we,
we see the.
74
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,520
We see.
We see the rumblings.
75
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:45,800
We.
See rumblings?
76
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,000
Don't listen, Don't listen to
Curtis.
77
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,720
Keep them coming in the chat.
I want to see everything, James.
78
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,720
Franklin, James.
Franklin, James.
79
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,640
Franklin, matter of fact, just
put whatever names you want to
80
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,440
put in there, say Nick Saban in
the comments.
81
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,040
It don't matter.
We need to just keep the
82
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,920
positive energy going.
We got a wind going, we got good
83
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,360
vibes happening.
We don't know nothing.
84
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,160
We don't know if he's if, if
Franklin's coming.
85
00:06:11,840 --> 00:06:16,840
We're here in the rumblings.
Hopefully it's true and Derek is
86
00:06:16,840 --> 00:06:18,760
bad.
Y'all, if you don't know, I
87
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:19,920
found.
That out last.
88
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:21,840
How was that?
That Derek is bad.
89
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,520
Yeah.
So anyway, welcome back.
90
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,680
Welcome back.
How you feeling?
91
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,160
Man, it's been a been a busy
start to the week man.
92
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,400
But it's going good on this end,
man.
93
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,760
Looking forward to a little
little Halloween weekend coming
94
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,800
up here.
Yes, Halloween on a Friday.
95
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,960
Halloween on a Friday.
God Almighty, good God almighty,
96
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:52,360
got to go make some witches brew
espresso martinis pumpkin beer
97
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,640
I'm going to get.
Well.
98
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,360
No, I can't because I have to
catch baseball at 9:00 the next
99
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,040
morning.
So it's going to be horrible,
100
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,080
horrible.
You can.
101
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,000
You can do a little bit.
You can do a little bit.
102
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,440
I can do a little bit, I just
can't let it go overboard
103
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,480
because if not, I'm going to be
out there in like 41° cold
104
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,960
weather and a bunch of nine year
olds screaming the dugout.
105
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,880
All right, y'all have already
hit it.
106
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,600
Sheldon and Tally always talk
about it.
107
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:22,400
We going to tell the truth
Tuesday about a hell of a win on
108
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:27,880
Friday night.
I mean, what went well is, first
109
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:32,960
of all, before we say anything,
we want another damn game, which
110
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:38,000
I did not foresee any more wins
this season, so they shit on me
111
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,760
on Friday night.
Once we got past Wake, I was
112
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,200
worried about this game, but
this is the only other one.
113
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,800
I said well we got a fighting
chance.
114
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,840
I didn't like our chances, but I
figured it would be close.
115
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:56,440
It was close.
Obviously 2 overtimes so it was
116
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,680
a fun ride though.
It was a fun ride.
117
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,120
So the other thing to talk about
it and tally, you've been
118
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:06,720
mentioning this a couple times
is there was effectively no quit
119
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,240
in this.
There has not been any quit in
120
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:14,280
this team for about the last
month and Friday night.
121
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:23,080
I mean, first of all, A2 score
deficit, we jump out to the 10
122
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,760
nothing lead and we give up 20
straight and I was like, Oh my
123
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,040
God, it's it's fucking
Vanderbilt again.
124
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,000
We're going to lose this game 40
to 10.
125
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:35,400
And then Shelton's favorite
statistic, Shelton I'm.
126
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,559
Not following buddy.
You're not following.
127
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,360
What else did I thought
Montgomery do 1.
128
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:44,840
Oh, yeah, Yeah.
Oh, I got you.
129
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,640
Yeah, I got you.
Yeah, sorry, that's whatever I
130
00:08:47,680 --> 00:08:48,320
had.
But yeah.
131
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,440
Have at it.
What else went well for y'all on
132
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:58,320
Friday night?
But beyond the no quit thing, I
133
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,600
think the adjustments that we
saw in especially on the
134
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,080
offensive side and really we
kind of came out out the gate
135
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:10,760
running the football a whole lot
more and we stuck with it for
136
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,800
four quarters.
I feel like in the, you know,
137
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,000
the second quarter, we kind of
hit a little bit of a of a spot
138
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,480
there where their offense kind
of figured out what we were
139
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,320
doing on defense a little bit.
And we had a couple bad series
140
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,360
where we, you know, had some 3
and outs there.
141
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:27,400
But I mean, for the most part,
we were committed to the running
142
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:28,720
game.
We said we're going to run this
143
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,360
ball down their throat and they
did that for four quarters.
144
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,960
I couldn't stop it.
I mean, running the ball seemed
145
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:41,400
to work.
I've said it multiple times, I
146
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:45,440
would probably follow Georgia
Tech's playbook and what they do
147
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:49,720
with Haynes King with Karen
drones, and it seemed like
148
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:55,840
that's what they did on Friday.
Stop trying to make him a NFL
149
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,240
pocket passer because that's not
what he does.
150
00:09:58,680 --> 00:10:05,160
But when you use him, how he
plays and how he's designed, it
151
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:09,720
works out because nobody on
Kyle's defense was stopping him.
152
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,160
He got tackled a lot.
Somebody on Cal's team had about
153
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:17,160
20 tackles, but he wasn't
stopping the run.
154
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,280
He was just in the way.
He ain't getting them to the
155
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,160
ground.
But great win.
156
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:30,200
Like you said, no, no, quit.
Excuse me, continuing the fight.
157
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,760
No quit in the coaching staff.
I see the coaches on the
158
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,960
sidelines jumping up.
I see Phillip Montgomery in the
159
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,720
refs face when they're making
horrible calls back-to-back to
160
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,080
back-to-back.
Some of it was just asinine,
161
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,000
like I'll probably use that in
another segment to talk about
162
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,080
the refs.
That was pitiful.
163
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,480
But no quit from any kid that's
out there on the field.
164
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,680
And that is that's a good sign.
That's something that you want
165
00:10:53,680 --> 00:10:57,040
to see.
Sean, let us up with some run
166
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,600
data, man, because you got the
analytical stuff.
167
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:06,160
How good was it last night?
It, well, it was frankly insane.
168
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,920
I'm, I'm actually compiling some
of the season numbers on, on
169
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:10,480
Terry and Stewart and Hawkins
here in a second.
170
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,880
But just to talk about this game
specifically, you look at the
171
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,960
overall numbers.
I mean, yards for play with 6.3
172
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:21,680
yards per rush was over 8 and I
was kind of giving up some of
173
00:11:21,680 --> 00:11:25,680
the stuff on PFF.
You look at Tech success running
174
00:11:25,680 --> 00:11:29,520
outside the tackles, they
averaged 8.6 yards per carry and
175
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,120
also had two, both of their two
rushing touchdowns on outside
176
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,600
the tackle, runs inside the
tackle is that it was actually
177
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,440
still pretty good, but not quite
as good when they're going
178
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,040
outside.
And obviously, you know, we'll
179
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,040
talk about it, but they just,
you know, kind of similarly kept
180
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,600
spamming that, you know, split
zone read and and certain
181
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,920
variations of that look over and
over again, you know, and I
182
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,040
think if we were if we were Cal
fans or if we were watching it,
183
00:11:50,680 --> 00:11:52,720
our defense perform like that, I
think we'd all be kind of
184
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,760
ripping our hair out because Cal
just could not stop it.
185
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,480
They had no answer for any of
that stuff.
186
00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,800
Can I say what I thought real
quick, Sean, before you get it,
187
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,600
The Syracuse play last year.
Everybody remember the game?
188
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:05,320
No, the Rutgers play.
The Rutgers?
189
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,800
Yeah, the Rutgers play New York,
New Jersey.
190
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,320
Same difference.
Go ahead, Sheldon, back to you.
191
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,080
Yeah, so I think I think the
Golden Bears have have to go
192
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:13,040
back to drawing board in that
one.
193
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:17,840
But still, Marcellus Hawkins 8
yards per carry and Tech as a
194
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:22,200
team forced 20 missed tackles,
which is just an insane number
195
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,960
for a single game.
Stewart had nine missed tackles
196
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:26,040
for us.
Tawkins had eight.
197
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,040
Drones had three.
So you know, we'll we'll get to
198
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,640
the season numbers here pretty
shortly, but it is just insane
199
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,480
what this group of running backs
has been able to do when they've
200
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,080
had, you know, some some time
and space to, you know, make
201
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,080
plays, you know, because they're
they're seeing numbers are just
202
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,400
incredible at this point.
So certainly got to give Elijah
203
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,840
Brooks his flowers for the job
that he's doing, bringing this
204
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,440
guys in and and developing like
he has.
205
00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:51,360
Brian hit on that split zone
because Shelton message Brian
206
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,960
like I think it felt like it was
6 O clock Saturday morning and
207
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,600
like Brian where they run a
split zone and you were like.
208
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:01,840
They, they were running, they
were calling that over and over
209
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:06,360
and they were doing a good job
with mixing in some, some keeps
210
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,280
with, with drones, really just
getting outside the tackle and
211
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,800
doing, doing his thing there.
And it was really they were,
212
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,880
they were putting them in
conflict with that play all
213
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,760
night.
I think it was just a
214
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,360
combination of, you know, tight
end going across the formation,
215
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,720
guys just not passing off the
assignments that the the way
216
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:30,600
they probably should it it kind
of puts, you know, neutralizes
217
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,360
you luave to a point where, you
know, if you if you do give it,
218
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,200
he's probably going to be there
to make a play.
219
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,240
But what we blocked it pretty
well most of the time.
220
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,960
And when when Jones got outside,
he made them pay for it big
221
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:47,480
time.
Kelly anything else on the run
222
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:51,240
game Friday night?
No, man, it was just good to
223
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,960
see.
I mean, I think when we figured
224
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,240
out that it was working and
didn't go away from it, it was
225
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,520
awesome because I think we were
like running the ball great.
226
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,440
And then we decided, oh, let's
let Kyron throw it.
227
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,800
He throws the interception, man,
just keep running.
228
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:05,800
If they're not going to stop you
from running it, just run.
229
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:10,760
So I think once we figured that
out after that series, like we
230
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,000
may have run the same play like
9 times in a row.
231
00:14:13,560 --> 00:14:15,880
Continue to run.
It may not be.
232
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:22,000
Yeah, it may not be the sexy
thing to do, but if it's putting
233
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,360
points on the board and it's
holding the ball, keeping the
234
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,840
other offense off the field,
man, I love it.
235
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:29,840
Let's keep doing it so.
What is it?
236
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,560
Was it at one point there was
the touchdown Dr. That was 9
237
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:38,000
plays, but it was at one point
it was 18 consecutive runs and
238
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:42,400
it was something like it was
like 6 a pop on 18 consecutive
239
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:46,520
runs, which is just nuts.
It was to close regulation I
240
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,400
believe.
Like pretty much it was run,
241
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,480
run, run, run run one after the
other. 100% yeah.
242
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:57,120
And and I know shelving through
the the the data up there about
243
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:03,480
their yards per carry and
roughly Hawkins 21 rushes,
244
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,440
drones 21 rushes, bullied 14
rushes.
245
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:11,600
It was a good enough balance too
right night there you go Justin
246
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:17,120
had the number hit Justin 19
consecutive rushes, which is
247
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:17,760
that's.
Crazy.
248
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,600
That's wild.
And, and, and, and The thing is,
249
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:27,200
the way we were running it, the
passes we did hit were
250
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,960
significant.
Like the one to Takihi.
251
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,280
I mean, it was not the best
pass, but because we've been
252
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:38,240
running the ball so good, like
it was no one where he could
253
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,600
still make the catch, so you
know.
254
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,680
In in the one day overturned on
Spencer.
255
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:45,880
Yeah.
The one day overturned on
256
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,240
Spencer.
He was pretty much as because of
257
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:50,920
that run, because of that.
Yeah.
258
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:56,320
He's you're open, you know, so I
mean, you, that's what we are as
259
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,000
a team.
I feel, I wish again, I wish
260
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,600
that we would have been doing
that all along.
261
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,040
But you know, it is what it is.
It was definitely good to see,
262
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,480
definitely good to see a a win
Friday night.
263
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:13,080
And also I'm going to say this
too, what what for me because
264
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,160
people know how I am about
Sandman, right?
265
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:23,480
If we going to do Sandman, if we
do it in a close game in the
266
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:27,760
fourth quarter or going from
third quarter to fourth quarter
267
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:29,480
and it's like that, I'm cool
with it.
268
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,760
Fuck doing it at the beginning
of the game, like don't I'm
269
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,240
tired because my thing isn't
really the the entrance.
270
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:41,520
I think it's just how people
idolize it and it doesn't mean
271
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:45,240
anything.
But when we went, you know, when
272
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:49,400
they was playing it, when
they're trying to drive late in
273
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,920
the 4th or going into overtime,
whatever, it was like that was
274
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,920
awesome to see in here.
You know what I'm saying?
275
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,760
Like that's college football.
So I'm like, bro, if you don't
276
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,800
use it like that, just use it
like that all the time.
277
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:05,280
Hell, if we have been doing that
on the 17 games that probably
278
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,079
lost by 1 score, maybe we'd have
won three or four of them.
279
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:12,640
Play that shit when it's close
in the third and fourth quarter.
280
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,359
That's what I want to see, the
jumping around.
281
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,440
So it's crazy, man.
I love.
282
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,000
I love it.
It was great.
283
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:20,920
It was great to see all.
Right.
284
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,359
Let's put real to some other
stuff that went good.
285
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:27,680
Let's talk about the defense
rough into the first half, but
286
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,200
the way they came out in the
second-half and then in general
287
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:35,320
how they shut down the run
because I fully expected
288
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,800
Kendrick Raffy out to have a
game and they shut him down.
289
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:46,440
They shut him down.
So any anybody, anything that
290
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,680
stuck out to y'all while
watching a game or Shelton?
291
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:55,800
Any data from Friday night?
I mean, they they their their
292
00:17:55,880 --> 00:18:00,560
EPA per rush for Cal expected
points added was in the 8th
293
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,120
percentile for all games this
year.
294
00:18:02,120 --> 00:18:04,920
So that's really, I mean, you
know, bottom 10% rushing
295
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:06,520
performance all season.
That's that's pretty good.
296
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,240
So the run run defense is really
good.
297
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,840
So I mean, they, you know, they
kind of dominated that
298
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:13,960
statistically.
I mean, I don't know, you know
299
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:15,960
what the, you know, the
schematics of it was.
300
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,040
But, you know, I, I also
thought, to be fair, I, I
301
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,280
thought Cal, Cal's receivers
were, you know, pretty bad, like
302
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,520
dropping passes left and right.
Oh, that was.
303
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:24,880
Horrible.
So yeah.
304
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,480
Except the Jesus.
Except the Jesus, that little
305
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:31,600
son of a bitch.
When they when they did catch
306
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,520
it, when they when they did
catch it, they was moving and
307
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:38,480
grooving and that tight end mini
or whatever his name was, like I
308
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:42,840
feel like he was open all game,
but they dropped so many passes.
309
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:47,720
So thank you, Cal Calgorithm,
whatever you call it yourself.
310
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,920
Thank you.
They know what you're doing.
311
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:57,280
The the drops were crazy because
they had a probably five or six
312
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:02,960
other first downs just on drops.
I mean, it was, it was one of
313
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:04,840
those things where like you
couldn't really get mad at the
314
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:06,480
quarterback.
The quarterback was doing pretty
315
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,800
much everything you had to do to
win that game.
316
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:13,920
And it seemed like between their
defense not adjusting to take
317
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,720
away what we were doing and then
their receivers just not making
318
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:22,520
plays in, in crunch time, you
know, made it close, kept us in
319
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,160
it.
We got back in it, fought back
320
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,200
and we're we're thankfully able
to come out on top in overtime
321
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:33,800
after a couple scares there.
100% And is the defensive line
322
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:38,680
good the.
The defensive tackles are good.
323
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,760
Well.
Kumar Copeland is good because
324
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,440
they're putting him everywhere.
Well-being Bell seems like he's
325
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:47,960
been doing some stuff too
though, right?
326
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,360
If he could get somebody to the
ground like he's, he's in there
327
00:19:52,360 --> 00:19:54,000
disruptive.
He's disruptive a lot.
328
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,680
He got somebody to the ground
and they called it a.
329
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,440
Yeah, unfortunately.
He called the fumble and they
330
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:05,520
called it a rough in the passer
that was that was an unexpected.
331
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,040
Thing in my life, I've never
seen a rough in the passer when
332
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,920
the guy still got the ball.
Yeah, he still had the ball.
333
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,360
That's not rough in the passer.
That was the stupidest thing
334
00:20:15,360 --> 00:20:18,920
I've ever seen in my life and it
was it really screwed us in the
335
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:24,080
situation because if that
doesn't happen, it's like 4th
336
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,560
from what, 1213 yard line?
Yeah, something like that.
337
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,720
I.
Don't think they get it but but
338
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,200
I love to see Kamari Copeland
because he ate Friday night.
339
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,120
Especially his last sack, the
one when they put him on the
340
00:20:37,120 --> 00:20:41,200
edge like out of the 9 technique
and he just bullied through that
341
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,040
tackle.
Just bullied through that tackle
342
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:48,840
and got his sack and I love it
and I love it and I hate it
343
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,120
because you start seeing some
fingerprints of Cevkis of like
344
00:20:52,120 --> 00:20:55,920
what he will do with guys.
It's a little bit too late and
345
00:20:55,920 --> 00:21:00,320
it's unfortunate, but Kamari was
unbelievable.
346
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:04,920
But yeah, is the D line good?
Is it good or not?
347
00:21:06,360 --> 00:21:08,120
I mean the.
Defensive line is.
348
00:21:08,120 --> 00:21:11,080
Definitely the one area that I
wasn't worried about at the
349
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:12,680
start of the year.
Obviously we're a little bit
350
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:17,080
lighter, a few pass rushers than
what we started with, but I feel
351
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:21,280
like the defensive tackles have
played really well throughout
352
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:25,400
the year that that that's been a
spot that has been kind of a
353
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,600
standout for me.
When we look at the defense,
354
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,560
they've had the least attrition,
so that helps obviously.
355
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,600
But I think that, you know, that
position group has definitely
356
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:39,360
been the strongest, the deepest
and made the most plays.
357
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,160
I'm going to go off the script
here just a little bit right
358
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,440
quick, Curtis, but I'm going to
toss it to you first.
359
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,840
And we don't have to talk about
who it is.
360
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:54,280
Anybody new coach comes in, you
see the film, you see the you
361
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,880
see the tape, you see what we
have to offer, right?
362
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,720
Who are you?
Who was your first?
363
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:10,680
Who was your first calls to keep
on the staff and on the roster?
364
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,160
I don't care how many you name
102038 a month, but I'm just
365
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:20,560
saying first calls to keep on
the staff and on the roster.
366
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:26,160
First call on the first call on
the staff and it's what he's
367
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:32,520
done this year because he did
lose some depth is I'm going to
368
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:36,320
probably say JC because they're
playing at a high level and it's
369
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,000
different this year and we know
how he recruit.
370
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:43,400
He finds guys right that can
just play and can make chaos.
371
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:52,440
As far as the first player.
And if it's more than one, it
372
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,000
don't have to be 1, I'm just.
Like I like what you did, like
373
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:59,440
that first call, give me a call.
Give me Copeland because he's
374
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,800
got another year of eligibility.
You see how passionate he is and
375
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,720
you saw, you've seen at times
how dominant he can be.
376
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:10,040
And I know that's that both on
the defensive side of the ball,
377
00:23:10,360 --> 00:23:15,400
but that's my first two, JC and
keep those two guys together
378
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,280
because I think you can build
around that.
379
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,240
And JC got the proof, right?
Look what APR did.
380
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,360
Look what happened this year.
All right, who's next?
381
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:27,680
Which one are y'all?
I'm going.
382
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,840
To throw at the, I'm going to
throw at the shell next.
383
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,960
He looks like he's ready and and
and rearing to go.
384
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,560
Yes, I am.
I mean, I think, I think Matt
385
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,760
Morris, probably my #1 because I
think, you know, he, we know he
386
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,800
has the coaching credentials.
And I just think that's the
387
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,400
position where Vt really needs
some continuity because they've
388
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,800
had what I think 4 online
coaches over the last four
389
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:50,440
years.
Yeah, maybe that would.
390
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:55,600
Be mice. 4 / 5.
Yeah, although the.
391
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,920
One of those came in midway
through the spring, so.
392
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,160
Yeah.
So I mean, you just you have to
393
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,000
start building some continuity
there.
394
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,000
So I I would definitely try to
keep him.
395
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,440
Elijah Brooks, like I said, you
know, again, we're going to talk
396
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,200
about numbers here soon, but the
production he's gotten from the
397
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,800
running backs is just insane.
Like I think that's the spot
398
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:15,920
where.
You know.
399
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,200
People, I mean people look at
our wide receiver recruiting,
400
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,880
you know, and spend a little bit
underwhelming on the production
401
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:23,400
side, development side.
So we can have a, you know,
402
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,800
debate about that.
But there's no question that the
403
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,680
production has been a lead from
the running backroom over
404
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,840
multiple years with different
players, which which suggests
405
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,120
that it's a coaching, it's a
testament to coaching.
406
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,120
So those are probably the first
two I'd start with.
407
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,680
He came to coach Brian.
Yeah, you got to give me Matt
408
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,680
Moore as well for the same
reasons as Sheldon.
409
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,160
I think continuity is a big a
big thing for especially for an
410
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:53,760
offensive line as it develops.
And I mean it to that point.
411
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:55,800
I mean, I think you got to keep
if you're if you're talking
412
00:24:55,800 --> 00:25:00,120
about players, I think you got
to start with the trenches, you
413
00:25:00,120 --> 00:25:02,840
know, bring back a guy like
Altooner, keep your center
414
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:07,000
intact.
He's shown some promise this
415
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,440
year.
Play pretty well overall, you
416
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:15,040
know, had the yeah, the false
snap there against Cal, but I
417
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,400
mean, he's played pretty well,
especially for a guy getting his
418
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:21,200
first year starting.
So keep the continuity there.
419
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,920
Obviously there's a lot of other
guys you call I like, I like
420
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:28,560
Brooks, I like JC Price.
Mods would probably be the next
421
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,760
one on the list if we had to go
4 deep there.
422
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:36,800
Still not convinced that the
production problem is is a minds
423
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,360
problem necessarily.
I think it's kind of been a
424
00:25:40,360 --> 00:25:45,000
mismatch of scheme and just not
always getting the ball where it
425
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:50,480
needs to go all the time.
So yeah, that that that's where
426
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,160
I'm going first.
And like you said, I don't think
427
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:57,200
there's a calling Copeland will
never be a bad decision as well.
428
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,000
So so keep it focused on the
interior.
429
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,400
They also Altoona and Copeland
will be the two guys that I'm
430
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,040
calling.
First player was.
431
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:09,000
No, I just no man, I was
thinking about this or have been
432
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,440
thinking about it.
And to sum it all up, because
433
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,800
it's not never one, right?
I asked you a trick question,
434
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:23,440
but you think about mines Brooks
JC, somebody else named
435
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,240
somebody.
So mines Brooks JC and it was
436
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:27,760
somebody else, Matt Moore,
right.
437
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,440
So you think about those
coaches, if you do retain them
438
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,720
and what they have started to
build.
439
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:38,880
If I can only pick one, I would
definitely say Brooks just
440
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,800
because like, it's insane to me
what he is doing with these
441
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,400
running backs.
You know, I know the line is a
442
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:49,880
big like the line has to open up
a hole for him, right?
443
00:26:50,120 --> 00:26:53,080
You can't have a quarterback and
a running back that runs for
444
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,800
that much yards without having
that offensive line.
445
00:26:56,160 --> 00:27:02,400
So Matt Moore doing a great job,
but Brooks just has a great
446
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,520
offer talent.
And I feel like because we've
447
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:11,200
been so bad and we have, you
know, not lived up to our
448
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:15,520
potential as a team, we have
really diminished what the
449
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,080
running backs that we've had
over the last couple of years
450
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:19,760
look like.
You know what I'm saying?
451
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,440
Our performances, we don't even
say what the full season looks
452
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,800
like for the guys we have this
year, but we go back to Tooton
453
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,760
last year.
Virginia Tech fans are going to
454
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,280
look back at what Tooten did
when he was at Virginia Tech and
455
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,560
Black man, he was a top five
running back.
456
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:37,000
I think when we did the show, a
lot of people had him in there
457
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,480
with all the greats.
Like that is crazy for him to
458
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,640
come from where he came from to
be able to do what he did.
459
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:49,160
But then also you just go on the
players I'm I'm talking to, like
460
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,360
you said, Copeland, I'm talking
to the Reddish.
461
00:27:51,360 --> 00:27:56,680
I'm talking to most of the
offensive lineman.
462
00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:01,160
When you talk about like
Altoona, great, great young, you
463
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,240
know, player that looks like he
has a lot of development that he
464
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:10,840
could do, but holds his own and
and and bully Ann Hawkins.
465
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:15,080
You know, the both both of them
have eligibility left, right?
466
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:16,840
Both of them have one.
You have eligibility left.
467
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,440
Am I not mistaken?
Stewart does not.
468
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:23,400
Hawkins may have a COVID year
left.
469
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:25,880
He has one left.
Yeah.
470
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:27,040
He has one.
Yeah.
471
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:28,720
Yeah.
Hawkins does.
472
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,520
So bullies done, Yeah?
Bully's done.
473
00:28:32,360 --> 00:28:34,720
I'm talking to Hawkins.
Hey, man, we need you in here.
474
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,720
Jeff Overton, you get healthy.
We need you too, buddy.
475
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:43,240
All right, so we need, we need
the running backs.
476
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:47,040
Sheldon, that's a perfect setup
because Italians up there
477
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,000
talking about Hawkins in the
running backroom.
478
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,240
You you got some good stuff to
share on that tonight.
479
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:53,920
Yeah, well, it's been really
impressive.
480
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:58,560
Kind of a 1-2 punch.
First off, with Hawkins overall
481
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:03,000
running grade, just running
specifically 86.1 ranks 15th in
482
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,680
FBS.
And then you look at the yards
483
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,800
after contact numbers, just
incredible.
484
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:11,400
Hawkins ranks 22nd, 4.72 after
contact per rush.
485
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:15,280
And then Stewart is third in the
country, 5.71.
486
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,680
So Tech has 2 running backs.
They rank top 25 in the country
487
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:23,360
in yards after contact and
again, these are, you know, two
488
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:27,360
first first year guys, one came
from AG51, came from FCS.
489
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,080
So the fact that you know,
Brooks is able to pull these
490
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,320
guys in here and just get
instant productivity is really
491
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,880
impressive.
And they also both rank top 10
492
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,680
and elusiveness rating, which
PFF tracks basically like
493
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,920
isolates the explosive plays and
accredited to the running back.
494
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,760
So I mean, no matter which way
to slice it, it's been it's just
495
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:47,560
been incredible.
And I don't think it's a
496
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,920
situation like last year where I
feel like, you know, Tootin kind
497
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:51,640
of had to be Superman like every
play.
498
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:55,280
I feel like the O lines played a
little bit better recently.
499
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:57,800
I think they're, you know,
they're open up some more, some
500
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,480
more holes and he's not, you
know, being swallowed up in the
501
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:02,520
backfield.
So it's been, it's been a sight
502
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,000
to see for sure.
Good deal.
503
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,280
That's some good stats right to
that The the the bully being 3rd
504
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:12,520
and like 20th he goes back.
How you going to beat Louisville
505
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,600
this weekend?
Run the damn ball and just run
506
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:15,840
the shit out.
Of it, you got to hold it.
507
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,400
No, I ain't, Curtis.
I'll go ahead, Brian.
508
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,040
I'm sorry.
I was just going to talk about
509
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,280
the the running back situation
in in the offensive line.
510
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,040
Like one of the things I'm
noticing, you know, you see the
511
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:29,520
broken tackles and things like
that.
512
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,120
But the one thing that's been
better and improved relative to
513
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,920
last year and what Tune was
dealing with is that there's not
514
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:40,040
as much contact at or behind a
lot of scrimmage for that first
515
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,400
contact.
A lot of the first contacts is
516
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:45,560
coming after positive yards have
already been gained and then
517
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,640
you're getting kind of that that
extra cream on top of that.
518
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,200
So that's been I think a
positive improvement across the
519
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,240
board for the running game this
year.
520
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,800
And kind of why I think a lot of
us were frustrated that we
521
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,120
weren't necessarily leaning on
that as much as we could have.
522
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,520
And hopefully that we see that
after this by there's been kind
523
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,840
of a little bit of a of a change
in philosophy and how they want
524
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,640
to approach the offense and
that, you know, Cal's just a
525
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,440
sign of the things to come for
what the offense is going to do
526
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:11,960
from a from a skiing
perspective.
527
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,960
So yeah, I was going to say
again, thank you to the chat for
528
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,200
just, you know, we see your
comments thrown in now.
529
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,720
Keep them coming.
I want I can't even remember who
530
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:22,920
put it up.
It's somewhere in there.
531
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:26,360
But somebody think we missed
what somebody said third, like
532
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:32,960
how big has that been to have
Jared Ferguson on the as the
533
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,480
strength and conditioning?
Like, we talk about these guys
534
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,320
breaking tackles.
We talk about the.
535
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,240
Looking good in the fourth, not
running out of gas.
536
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,600
Looking looking good in the
fourth, not running out of gas
537
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:49,840
like Jared Ferguson being the
man in charge, him being on the
538
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:53,880
sideline, you know, hyping the
team up to, you know what I'm
539
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,960
saying, that being shown on
camera is like a breath of fresh
540
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,160
air.
So I can definitely see a
541
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,720
difference in strength and
condition just going into those
542
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,680
fourth quarters and stuff like
that because I'm already we're
543
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,040
losing.
It's A1 score game.
544
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,000
We ain't winning it.
Yeah, we done.
545
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,640
We ain't going to make the game
win and play.
546
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,160
But they keep playing tough,
man.
547
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,120
You know, even in the games that
we have not won, you know, I
548
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:20,440
keep seeing people play hard
and, you know, making tackles
549
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:25,240
and and, you know, just looking
the part more than we did in the
550
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:29,000
past year.
So Ferguson, don't know where
551
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:30,920
he's going to end up, don't know
what's going to happen with the
552
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,640
coach research, but good luck to
him.
553
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:37,040
Would love to hang him.
Hang around, Yeah.
554
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,560
There's only a couple more
things about the game I want to
555
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,680
hit before we flip over, talk
Louisville for a little bit and
556
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:49,920
a few other things.
But y'all special team shit
557
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:52,240
guides me off my fucking
knocker.
558
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,360
And you know what?
The block kick.
559
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:59,080
OK, you know what sometimes
people just make plates.
560
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:02,320
Sometimes people just make
plates.
561
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:07,200
Block kicks happen.
But when Kent Selman, that ball
562
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:13,040
like this man's own, that's just
like I'm sitting here doing this
563
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:17,360
like first of all, a why'd he do
it?
564
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:21,400
That's a little bit on him.
But secondly, Steve Holt, why
565
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,480
aren't you telling them?
Listen, if that ball's getting
566
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:28,040
to the end zone, just let it go.
Be be like frozen.
567
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,680
And my daughter who watches it
at least once a week or puts on
568
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:36,280
the the the the costumes.
Let it go, let the ball go.
569
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:40,960
I'm going to tell Stu.
I'm going to tell Stu like my
570
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,840
boy did when he they was fishing
at his son's pond.
571
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,640
Hit the road, dude.
This ain't no state property.
572
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:52,000
This is private property.
He got to go.
573
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:57,240
Man, that's all he's doing too.
Like that's all that's all he's
574
00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,520
doing right now.
It's not like he's got
575
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,760
distractions elsewhere that he's
worried about it.
576
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:03,640
Like all you're doing is special
teams, bro.
577
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:07,880
Yeah, get it right.
Rough, rough Shelton, any
578
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:11,560
comments on either of those
place probably or anything?
579
00:34:11,639 --> 00:34:14,239
You got said it all.
All right.
580
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:18,400
The the last piece I got to say
is we usually we, we kind of hit
581
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:22,040
everything, the good, the bad,
what we didn't expect because
582
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,360
nobody expected a rough in the
past to happen when the
583
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:25,960
quarterback still has the ball
ever.
584
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:31,880
But the the split at which we
had Friday night, run, pass
585
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:35,120
split, I think it was Sean, you
got it up how many times we run
586
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:38,840
the ball.
Give me I got to look up and
587
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:42,040
give me a SEC.
But anyway, Sean's going to give
588
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:45,800
it to us.
But that run, pass split and and
589
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:49,280
you've been hitting the tally
saying we've got to do this,
590
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:54,120
whatever that split was Friday
night to have any semblance in
591
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:57,160
the next four games, any
semblance of a chance.
592
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:02,840
It's got to be like that.
But it's also got to be real.
593
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:12,320
Oh, Lord, but it's also got to
be you're only down 10 points.
594
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:16,560
Monty didn't panic.
He stayed within the game plan,
595
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,200
right?
He stayed within the game plan.
596
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:22,880
Said we won't still # the ball.
What was the splits, Shelton?
597
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:29,760
It was 55 rushes to.
Let's see here, 18 passes.
598
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:33,320
So but surprisingly enough, I
mean, Kyrie was actually weirdly
599
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,680
efficient like he only completed
50% of his passes, but he had
600
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,840
three touchdowns and a really
high yards per attempt.
601
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,240
So it's kind of like, you know,
super, super efficient all.
602
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,560
Right, hold on, hold on.
I I need everyone in the room to
603
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:54,560
address this.
Hey, no disrespect, no
604
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:58,360
disrespect to Montgomery.
I think the dude has a great
605
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:02,480
opportunity to go coach like
North Texas or something like
606
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:04,240
that.
He going, we need him.
607
00:36:04,240 --> 00:36:06,800
To be the head coach here, go to
go anywhere.
608
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:10,760
I don't care if he wants to be a
head coach, he's going to find
609
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:12,440
somewhere.
It just don't need to be here.
610
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:17,240
We let.
Me tell you where we can I tell
611
00:36:17,240 --> 00:36:19,800
you where He's on land and
probably have to do a good job.
612
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:21,000
Tulane.
Where?
613
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,320
Tulane you think about what
they.
614
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:25,280
Do.
Is that right?
615
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:27,480
No, he was a.
Tulsa.
616
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:32,840
Too late in them both.
All right, let's keep it rolling
617
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:37,520
and let's talk about the game.
Well, let's talk about this
618
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,760
first.
Brian Kelly got fired.
619
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:43,360
Yep.
Good, hey.
620
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,760
Me too.
But you know what?
621
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,160
Somebody I read somebody said he
checked out last year.
622
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:53,040
You know what I would do too.
I got joked with a guy at work
623
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:56,840
today.
Check out two of my buyout was
624
00:36:56,840 --> 00:37:00,160
$60 million.
I ain't doing shit this year.
625
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:03,200
What do you want to do?
You want to fire me and give you
626
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:08,880
all my?
Money, man.
627
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:10,640
I can't.
I can't imagine.
628
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:16,400
I can't imagine being in the
situation where if I win I get
629
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:21,240
paid 10 million and if I lose I
get paid 60 million. 60 million.
630
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:26,000
Dollars, but it is.
So let let me ask you all of the
631
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,800
big three, what's your order?
What what's the best job?
632
00:37:29,240 --> 00:37:32,800
Because it's a big three like
I'm a college football fan.
633
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:34,720
It's a big three.
It's Florida.
634
00:37:34,720 --> 00:37:36,480
It's LSU.
It's Penn State.
635
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,440
Tally.
What's 123?
636
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:47,520
Man, I don't even think about
all the money and talent and all
637
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,240
that, but I'm just telling you,
if I'm a head coach, I'm doing
638
00:37:50,240 --> 00:37:53,840
my best to stay away from LSU
and I'm doing my best to stay
639
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:59,120
away from the SEC.
If I want to, like if I if I
640
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:02,160
just want to, it's going to be
hard there too.
641
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:07,680
But if I just want to make as
much money as I can and maybe be
642
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:11,600
on some shows, sure.
But when people will talk, and
643
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:13,480
I'm going to just say this,
people were saying James
644
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:17,680
Franklin needs to go to Florida.
Or I said the worst thing for a
645
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:21,360
James Franklin would be to go to
a SEC school.
646
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:25,160
It'd be horrible for him.
The reason I say that is because
647
00:38:26,240 --> 00:38:29,400
it's a gauntlet and they're
already going to be on him
648
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:32,600
because he just came from like
he's a, he got fired in the
649
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,480
middle of the year.
He's not a up and coming coach.
650
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:37,440
He got fired in the middle of
the year.
651
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,240
So he's going to come in and
knows the SEC fans are going to
652
00:38:40,240 --> 00:38:43,120
have expectations of you win now
or we want you gone.
653
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:46,080
You got to think Coach O won a
national championship.
654
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:49,920
He was fired like the next
season or the next two seasons.
655
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:53,720
Same with Gene Chiswick, like
you're not getting time to do
656
00:38:53,720 --> 00:38:57,400
anything.
Brian Kelly, 34 and 14, even
657
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:01,400
though he's an idiot and I
really dislike him, like, if you
658
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:04,600
ain't, if you ain't getting it
done quickly for us, you're out
659
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:06,760
of here.
You know, we won't even go into
660
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:11,520
the whole there's just not a lot
of black head coaches in the SEC
661
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:13,760
in the past.
But if you start thinking about
662
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:16,400
the black head coaches in the
SEC, where are they now?
663
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:18,560
I'll wait.
Not coaching.
664
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:22,000
You ain't hearing from them,
Joker Phillips.
665
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,360
You know, of course Chrome is
gone.
666
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:30,480
But you can say Charlie Strong,
he was at Texas, never going to
667
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:33,880
be a head coach again.
I'm just saying if I'm somebody
668
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,240
like, if I'm somebody like James
Franklin, there's no way I'm
669
00:39:36,240 --> 00:39:39,560
looking at those jobs.
And he does like he can coach at
670
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:43,520
any place he wants to, But I
would be looking at somewhere
671
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:47,480
more like a, you know, Virginia
Tech, UCLA, something like that.
672
00:39:47,720 --> 00:39:51,920
But out of those three jobs, me,
I'm going to say I would go Penn
673
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:56,040
State, LSU in Florida because I
don't even know who can go and
674
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:59,200
win in Florida.
Like Florida's been snake been
675
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:02,560
since, you know, the the the
years of of champions.
676
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:05,360
Well, they they had Dan Mullen.
He was doing really good.
677
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,040
He had one bad season.
They asked him one bad season.
678
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:09,320
He got out Shell.
What's your?
679
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:13,840
So are we talking about like the
the big, the big 5 is it?
680
00:40:14,240 --> 00:40:16,560
Well, no, I'm saying the top
three because I think in my
681
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:20,000
opinion, LSU, Penn State in
Florida or head and shoulders
682
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:21,120
above.
Yeah.
683
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:25,200
You know national championships
won in the playoffs.
684
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:28,280
Great recruiting bases look 123
for you.
685
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:37,560
I'd say so.
Florida's up there, OK State.
686
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:39,160
OK.
So it's kind of weird because I
687
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,040
feel like they're a very
comparable program to Vt and
688
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:42,920
since if they've only had
success with the one head coach
689
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:46,320
and you know, that's kind of
like a, you know, mid level
690
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,240
program that, you know, kind of
has to develop well.
691
00:40:48,240 --> 00:40:50,520
And, you know, they've got some
decent funding, but maybe not as
692
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:53,440
much as they had in the past.
So I definitely think Vt is more
693
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:56,760
attractive than Arkansas just
based on like, you know, ability
694
00:40:56,840 --> 00:41:02,840
to compete in the CFP for the
CFP, you know, spending relative
695
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,800
to conference geography,
recruiting base.
696
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,400
I I think Vt has got a lot going
for compared to compared to
697
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:12,120
those couple jobs.
So I mean, a lot of it depends
698
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:13,920
like on, you know, first of all
the money and I think the
699
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:16,520
money's probably there.
And second of all, does the head
700
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:20,480
coach like the administration
that he works with now this is
701
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:22,360
going to get into the whole
another kind of worms of like,
702
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,560
you know, what's going on with
Wit and the Vt administration?
703
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:29,640
I mean, I would imagine he's
done by the end of the academic
704
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,920
year, but nothing's happened so
far.
705
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:35,560
And like what?
So like, if you're a coach,
706
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:38,120
like, you know, you walk in
there and say like, OK, we're
707
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:40,120
going to, you know, do you have
assurances that they're going to
708
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:45,360
get rid of wit, you know, and if
the and if so, like, well, OK,
709
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:47,640
who's going to replace him?
Like you don't know, Like I, I,
710
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:53,200
I don't know if Vt is really
maximizing their ability to hire
711
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,160
a quality head coach when they
don't know who the next AD is
712
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,080
going to be.
So that would be, that'd be my
713
00:41:58,080 --> 00:41:59,600
concern.
I don't think it's as much
714
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:02,840
infrastructure as you know, and,
and ability to win.
715
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:05,000
I think it's more so like,
what's this administration going
716
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:08,240
to look like?
Bron.
717
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,400
Yeah, I, I, I'm in agreement
with with with that too.
718
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:16,720
And I think like when you look
at the the three, you know, I,
719
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:22,560
I, I'd actually probably put put
them Florida, LSU, Penn State.
720
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:27,640
But I mean, I think Florida and
LSU have, have their own pluses
721
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:31,360
and minuses.
They all crazy based on where
722
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:35,240
they're recruiting, the fan
bases, expectations, all that.
723
00:42:35,240 --> 00:42:39,880
I think there's a lot of
problems that you get with
724
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:42,600
taking a job at like an LSU or a
Florida that you don't
725
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:45,720
necessarily get with some of
these other schools.
726
00:42:45,720 --> 00:42:49,960
And I think it's a little bit
harder to win, even though it's
727
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:52,280
it's still easy relative to I
think the rest of the country.
728
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,600
But it's it's a little bit
harder to win at a Florida or at
729
00:42:54,600 --> 00:43:02,520
LSU than it maybe is for a Texas
school or Georgia or Alabama.
730
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:08,800
So, yeah, I think there's some
inherent hills that you got to
731
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:12,080
kind of climb over as those two
schools.
732
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:15,240
But then, you know, Penn State
is still going to have to beat
733
00:43:15,240 --> 00:43:19,160
Ohio State every year.
And as long as Ohio State is
734
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,480
still playing the way they are,
Penn State's going to always be
735
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:25,160
playing second fiddle there.
So that that's why that job's a
736
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:27,520
little bit lower, I think on the
totem pole than the rest of
737
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:30,000
them.
Well, now you got, now you got
738
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:33,200
Indiana coming in now acting
like they're juggernauts too.
739
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:36,120
Yeah.
It's true.
740
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:39,880
So are you thinking fiddle?
Third fiddle. 4th fiddle.
741
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:44,000
Maybe 4th fiddle of Michigan or
in USC.
742
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:47,040
Yeah, don't.
Don't forget about USC.
743
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:49,640
USC and really fucking around me
they're they're they're
744
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:51,800
definitely I think second tier
there, but they're definitely
745
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,280
looking a little bit more like.
Better and better.
746
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:56,360
Ready to ready to compete a
little bit?
747
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:00,000
See, the reason I'm going to put
Penn State always one is the
748
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,720
other two.
Penn State might give you a few
749
00:44:02,720 --> 00:44:05,440
years.
Florida and LSU.
750
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:08,760
I mean, like you said, Brian
Kelly was 20 games over 500.
751
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:12,200
It was just like by 20 games
over 500.
752
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:16,040
You said 34 and 14, right?
20 games over 500.
753
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:20,440
If Brent probably was 28 games
over 500 in his fourth year with
754
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:23,440
us, we'd lose our damn mind 20
games over.
755
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:27,680
We'd be happy big and shit.
Yeah, I just said that.
756
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:30,360
But they but they expect to win
a national title like every
757
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:31,880
other year so.
Part.
758
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:36,120
Of the game and to be fair, like
LSU, like if you were to, I've
759
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:40,040
said this before, if you were to
design A school that was like
760
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:44,400
the maximal had like every
maximal advantage and that you
761
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:49,280
could it would be LSU like
location resources, you know,
762
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:52,760
conference history, except, I
mean, you know, but that's just
763
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:55,240
college football.
Yeah, cool shit.
764
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:57,880
They've got so much they they
have more or than any other
765
00:44:57,880 --> 00:44:58,720
program.
It's crazy.
766
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:03,080
Yeah, and guess what?
All of of the other programs we
767
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:06,720
talked about, I probably could
have gotten to LSU out of high
768
00:45:06,720 --> 00:45:10,840
school without an issue being
exactly known for their academic
769
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:11,960
standards.
Yeah.
770
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:15,960
The other two we mentioned
actually have some.
771
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:18,320
All right, well, let's get into
it.
772
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:21,600
We do have a game this weekend.
3:00 Hey Tally, we on your
773
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:24,120
favorite network?
We on The CW this weekend.
774
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:28,360
Yeah, and I'll tell them what
we're going here ain't.
775
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:33,280
No telling for real.
We do have Louisville, and
776
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:37,440
Louisville is one of the hottest
teams in the country right now.
777
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:42,240
6:00 and 1:00 big win over Miami
two weekends ago.
778
00:45:42,720 --> 00:45:44,960
And I mean they crushed Boston
College.
779
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,680
I think they had 300.
I think they went 325 on the
780
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:51,160
ground on Saturday against
Boston College.
781
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:55,600
So you know, lot lot of fun to
be had.
782
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:58,800
And let's take a look at a
couple of the players on their
783
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:02,960
team that y'all better know
these names because I feel like
784
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:06,720
the first guy I'm going to
mention who's Chris Bell is
785
00:46:06,720 --> 00:46:09,960
going to light us up.
Not a highly recruited, I
786
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:12,040
shouldn't say highly recruited
like a mid three star guy when
787
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:16,760
he came out of school at a Where
is Yazoo City Ms. Galley?
788
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:21,680
It's a country place in
Mississippi, somebody you
789
00:46:21,720 --> 00:46:24,120
probably don't want to hit.
He's probably strong as a ox.
790
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:30,120
He's he's 62, he's like two O 5.
He is currently 11th in the
791
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:32,360
country interceptions in
receiving yards.
792
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:43,520
He's got 48 receptions, 687, six
touchdowns and I mean, I just
793
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:46,520
like no one has secondary a
little bit banged up.
794
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:48,480
I think he's going to absolutely
crush us.
795
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:53,200
Brian Shelton, Dally, anything
you'll got on him.
796
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:55,040
Oh, he's absolutely going to
crush us.
797
00:46:58,720 --> 00:47:04,960
Yeah, it's, it's really not.
The question is going to be, you
798
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:06,600
know, what, what's he going to
go for?
799
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:10,000
What's the top?
And I'm really, I'm really
800
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:11,960
concerned.
I'm, I'm hoping that the pass
801
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:18,360
rush, we can at least get what
we saw against Cal, but I think
802
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:20,200
it's going to be a long game for
us unfortunately.
803
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:26,320
Shout out to All right, show
them anything on him.
804
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:33,600
No, I mean.
It's really good.
805
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:37,640
Yeah, Yeah.
I mean just they've got they've
806
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:40,200
got a lot of, you know,
experience and beef on that,
807
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,560
that D line.
So yeah, give.
808
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:46,640
Me a tough match D line the
other the other couple guys to
809
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:49,160
worry about.
You got Moss, who was AUSC guy.
810
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:54,520
He's balling.
I mean, you know what, Jeff
811
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:56,400
Braun might need the Penn State
higher.
812
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:59,520
He might leave Louisville
because he can bring any damn
813
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:01,760
quarterback in and they just do
good.
814
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:04,760
I mean, Moss was cast off out of
USC.
815
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:08,600
Well, he did not play bad.
He's not played great this year.
816
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:12,760
But it just seems like with Jeff
Brahm, it's like every year, new
817
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:16,960
new, new quarterback, same
results, competitive team, good
818
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:19,440
offense.
Well, it's it, you know, don't
819
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:22,760
discount Bryant on Brahm at the
AT OC there as well, because he
820
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:27,000
does a good job of getting the
quarterback settled in running
821
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:29,560
that offense, leaning on the
strengths of what he has on the
822
00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:34,200
roster.
You know, I mean they, they
823
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:38,160
really got guys that can get the
job done at, at, at all three
824
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:42,560
phases there.
And Isaac Brown, you guys do you
825
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:44,760
want to talk about?
Next, I I think about Isaac
826
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:47,600
Brown, but I mean, you know,
you've already, you know, talked
827
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:54,240
a little bit about Chris Bell.
I mean that's a big dude, man
828
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:58,240
and playing wide receiver that
that size man.
829
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:02,880
Well, like Carson actually
playing receiver.
830
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:07,840
He's he's going to be easy.
He's a big dude, 4/4 speed.
831
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:12,040
It's going to be a long game
trying to cover him with with
832
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:15,120
how depleted our secondary is.
So I guess that I'm hoping that
833
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:16,440
we can able to get some pressure
on them.
834
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:22,040
So is there any chance from what
you've looked at like pass
835
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:24,440
protection laws?
Do they have a wink link?
836
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:28,560
I mean, I don't think I
wouldn't.
837
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:31,160
I don't know if they this, I
have like a a wink, a a weak
838
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:33,640
link.
I will say that the thing that
839
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:37,240
sticks out to me is that they
seem to have their best graders
840
00:49:37,240 --> 00:49:38,520
be at the most important
positions.
841
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:41,320
So obviously you've got your
skill guys, you know, Chris
842
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:44,320
Bell, Isaac Brown, Miller Moss,
all really highly graded.
843
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:46,960
And then you've got, you know,
your center, Pete Nigro, who's
844
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:49,920
at 69 1/2.
He's pretty, pretty low ranked
845
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:52,400
and then guard Lance Robinson
also up there too.
846
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:55,400
So I mean the core of their
team, interior O lines really,
847
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:56,640
really good.
So that's, you know, that's kind
848
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:58,600
of their their bread and butter
and that's kind of how I have to
849
00:49:58,600 --> 00:49:59,640
build your team successfully
all.
850
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:04,520
Right, there's some I want to
say.
851
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:08,840
Look at this.
That's Quest talking crazy.
852
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:12,720
Tell him, don't tell him.
Don't bet no money on that.
853
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:18,120
Don't bet the farm on that.
But you know, the other thing we
854
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:21,480
talked about Brown, we hit bell
sheltered ransom stuff off.
855
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:25,760
And this is what scares the
bejesus out of you is if you
856
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:30,280
take a look at what Cajon Brown,
who's their backup running back
857
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:34,960
did on Saturday against BC, he
had 10 rushes for basically 95
858
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:39,400
yards and a touchdown, 100 and
almost 130 from scrimmage with a
859
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:43,120
huge catch.
I guess that's where it's just
860
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:48,560
like, Jesus, like when you have
that much from all over the
861
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:51,920
place and legitimately, you
know, Brahms got a good passing
862
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:56,080
offense, but when you again,
it's it was 319 is what they ran
863
00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:58,360
on.
But here's the sicker part.
864
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:03,760
Sheldon, can you pull that up?
They were 319 on 25 rushes.
865
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:11,920
Y'all 319 on 25 rushes.
We did 357 on 50 something.
866
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:16,800
That was great.
They they was busting big run
867
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:20,480
after big run dawg.
They thought explosive plays,
868
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:23,800
man, that's explosive plays.
Oh, give, give Shelton a second
869
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:24,880
here.
Give Shelton a second.
870
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:27,720
He is going to find how many
explosive plays they had on
871
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:29,960
Saturday.
Can we just keep it under like?
872
00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:33,280
I mean, Isaac Brown is is is
somebody that's going to give us
873
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:35,800
some problems too, just because
it's how versatile he is, Manny,
874
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:38,080
because he can run it, he can
catch it, he can do stuff in
875
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:39,520
special teams.
He's going to be a little bit
876
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:45,080
all over the place, I think.
Any any luck yet Shelton?
877
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:48,360
No, I'm, I'm trying to look that
up.
878
00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:51,280
But I will say though,
interestingly, their offense
879
00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:54,720
actually doesn't generate a a
huge amount of explosive plays.
880
00:51:54,720 --> 00:51:59,360
I mean, they've got, you know,
19 plays of 30 plus yards, you
881
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:00,600
know, so that certainly counts
for something.
882
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:03,400
But overall they're actually
they're not a huge they're not
883
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:05,800
overly reliant on big plays for
what I can tell.
884
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:08,080
So I mean, without, you know,
necessarily like knowing other
885
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:10,280
stats, I would have guessed
they're much more of like kind
886
00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:13,160
of a, you know, ground and pound
high success, right type of team
887
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:15,080
that's, you know, kind of turn
out very consistent drives.
888
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:17,600
They're just not, you know,
that's not their their bread and
889
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:18,920
butter necessarily is the big
plays.
890
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:22,040
Got it.
All right, let's go to Anomaly
891
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:24,160
then.
Yeah, Super Anomaly.
892
00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:27,080
All right, flip over because you
said you really want to talk
893
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:28,960
about their defensive line.
What?
894
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:33,480
What you got?
Oh me.
895
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:37,040
Yeah, you the one that you said
05 minutes ago, you were like.
896
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:39,880
Sorry, bud.
Yeah, yeah, we'll go, We'll go.
897
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:42,120
Yeah.
So the so the big one is Jordan
898
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:43,920
Gerrad.
I hope I'm not butchering that
899
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:46,120
pronunciation.
So he is their best run
900
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:49,040
defender.
Overall grade is over an 80 and
901
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:50,960
as well as his rush defense
grade also had an 80.
902
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:54,400
So he's a fifth year guy,
three-year transfer from Florida
903
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:56,240
International.
So spent three years there now
904
00:52:56,320 --> 00:52:57,360
in his second year with the
program.
905
00:52:57,360 --> 00:52:59,920
So he's been in college football
for five years.
906
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:01,600
Obviously bring some experience
there.
907
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:10,080
And then their best pass rusher
is Clev Lubin, and he is a 91
908
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:12,720
overall, which is a really good
92 pass rush.
909
00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:15,640
So he's also a transfer from
Coastal Carolina.
910
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:19,840
So, you know, clearly Brahm has
been able to have a lot of
911
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:23,480
success with transfers in the
portal, which isn't something
912
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:25,240
you always see, but he's, he's
done a really good job,
913
00:53:25,240 --> 00:53:26,840
especially bringing some of
those G5 guys up.
914
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:30,040
So really good evaluation and
development on the part of that
915
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:32,320
staff.
They've got some some some real
916
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:34,200
beef on that, that dip, that
defensive line and.
917
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:40,680
Correct me if I'm wrong, we've
almost got Lubin right last year
918
00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:44,920
in the portal.
I know we were in the mix for
919
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:46,800
for Lubin, yeah.
Yeah, OK.
920
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:51,240
In in Lubin, he he is a team
leader along with W Banner
921
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:55,120
should be W Bailey.
They got 4 sacks apiece.
922
00:53:55,120 --> 00:54:00,960
Both are edges, both 6.
Lubin's like 63240, Bailey's
923
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:09,720
like 652-5260.
So I mean, you know, not great
924
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:16,120
just because like where we are,
like what's going on with our
925
00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:21,360
team, but and just keep playing.
Couple other guys to mention and
926
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:25,680
I and I want to figure out what
Antonio Watts does.
927
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:28,160
Brian, did you get enough tape
on him to figure out what
928
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:31,400
they're doing?
Because Watts, he's been labeled
929
00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:36,920
as ADB just about everywhere,
but basically he is on pace this
930
00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:41,560
year to kind of shatter what he
did last year when it comes to
931
00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:44,040
tackles.
So when I see that, it's got to
932
00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:47,160
be a little something different.
Yeah, I mean, he's he's a box
933
00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:48,520
safety.
He's going to be a little bit of
934
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:50,000
a hybrid guy.
He's going to play really close
935
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:53,080
to the line of scrimmage, kind
of blow up things, kind of that
936
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:55,880
spill area from a run
perspective.
937
00:54:55,880 --> 00:55:01,400
But he's also got a pretty good
coverage skills, definitely can
938
00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:04,840
can lay the lumber on you.
So he's a little bit all over
939
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:06,080
the place.
He's definitely the guy that
940
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:09,400
kind of makes the back end of
that defense run just because of
941
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:13,760
the versatility that he brings
to the table on that defense.
942
00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:19,400
What about Hutchinson because
he's the other guy that again
943
00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:21,880
listed as DB second on the team
in tackles.
944
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:24,480
Got to pick bunch of past
deflections.
945
00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:30,400
Did you get anything on him?
Yeah, I mean, he's a he's a guy
946
00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:36,120
that also is a little bit more,
I'd say definitely more oriented
947
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:39,200
in the in the passing game in
the coverage standpoint.
948
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:41,400
But he's he's also somebody that
will get up in there and make
949
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:44,480
some tackles as well.
But he's more of a true, true
950
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:48,160
safety.
Whereas you know, when you look
951
00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:51,240
at a guy like, like Watts, he's
truly more of a more of a
952
00:55:51,240 --> 00:55:55,280
hybrid, hybrid safety that's,
that's playing really up in the
953
00:55:55,280 --> 00:56:00,200
box on a regular basis.
All right, so you got kind of
954
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:05,000
five names, Sheldon, any other
piece of data to throw on us
955
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:08,560
before we start talking about,
you know, what, what, what,
956
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:11,360
what, what Marcus says, Quest
says and all happened, which is
957
00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:13,640
we're going to pull the the big
shock this weekend.
958
00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:17,560
I mean, not really man.
Like they're they're 20th
959
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:21,280
overall in defensive SP plus, so
they're just pretty solid on
960
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:23,600
both sides of the ball, 32nd on
offense.
961
00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:26,800
So again, they just you know,
they from what I can tell, like
962
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:29,160
they're not like elite at anyone
specific thing.
963
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:30,920
They're just pretty
well-rounded, well balanced.
964
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:34,280
So, you know, you just, you get
not a lot of holes in this team
965
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:36,720
and that's why they're, you
know, 6:00 and 1:00.
966
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:39,840
In traditional metric, show it
too.
967
00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:42,080
They're 14th in the country in
total defense.
968
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:44,400
When?
We beat Louisville.
969
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:49,480
We beat Louisville this weekend.
We got to send Marcus Boundary
970
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:52,640
Corner Cup or something.
I mean, there's got to be some
971
00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:54,920
kind of, we got to give him some
kind of.
972
00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:57,720
He called his shot early, so.
He always we got.
973
00:56:57,960 --> 00:57:00,960
To send him something.
Bro, if he Babe Ruth, if he say
974
00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:04,840
clock this, we going to win.
We got to send him something,
975
00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:05,800
man.
I don't know what it's going to
976
00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:07,520
be, but I don't see it
happening.
977
00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:09,360
But we, you know, it is what it
is.
978
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:13,600
All right, Well, if you don't.
If we win this game, then you
979
00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:18,840
can maybe put me back on board
to buying, making a bowl game.
980
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:24,640
Yeah, because you still got a,
you know, very beatable looking
981
00:57:24,640 --> 00:57:26,880
UVA and you still got FSU on the
schedule.
982
00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:31,920
Well, well, well.
Tally, let's let's get into it.
983
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:35,800
This man, the keys like what?
What do you think?
984
00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:38,680
Like you saw you seen Louisville
play a few times.
985
00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:39,960
Yeah.
What?
986
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:41,880
What's the key?
What do we have to do?
987
00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:47,120
I mean, you got to look how you
ended the game at Cal.
988
00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:50,680
You got to start the game now.
And it's, it's hard to do, you
989
00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:52,040
know what I'm saying?
But you got to have that same
990
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:54,640
game plan.
And when I say that, I mean, you
991
00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:59,280
got to run the ball.
You got to make them choose
992
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:05,240
who's going to hurt them running
the ball between Kyron Hawkins
993
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:08,640
and Bully.
Connor's not going to be able to
994
00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:12,480
drop back and throw the ball all
over the field.
995
00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:15,520
Just like Justin said, we got to
possess the ball.
996
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:17,320
We got to try to hold the ball
some.
997
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:20,280
We got to have some long drives,
sustain some drives.
998
00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:23,080
Even if we only get 3 out of it
because we know we like to do in
999
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:26,040
the red zone.
We can't just three and out, get
1000
00:58:26,040 --> 00:58:27,440
in the ball, 3 and out, get in
the ball.
1001
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:29,280
Kind of how we get in that
second quarter.
1002
00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:33,000
What we're doing with Kyle,
that's going to be the worst
1003
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:37,000
thing we can do because this
team, if we 3 and 9 give them
1004
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:38,200
the ball, they're going to make
us pay.
1005
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:42,280
Then you're going to look up and
it's going to be 24 to zero, 24
1006
00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:44,600
to 7.
Then they're going to score some
1007
00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:46,160
more and then it's going to get
out of hand.
1008
00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:49,760
So we've got to control that
ball and we have to run the ball
1009
00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:56,040
to be able to control it.
John Brown, Whoever wants to go
1010
00:58:56,040 --> 00:58:58,640
next, John.
I'll let you.
1011
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:00,320
Go.
Oh, let me go.
1012
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:03,560
OK, Yeah.
I mean, I don't really have a
1013
00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:08,520
ton to add to that.
I was trying to look up their
1014
00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:11,520
their sack totals.
Yeah, kind of the fact.
1015
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:14,840
So yeah, I mean, I guess the big
thing is just like how well can
1016
00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:18,480
Vt run the ball?
Like you know, like Tally said,
1017
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:20,840
you know, we are not going to
have a ton of success in the
1018
00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:23,360
traditional drop back passing
game.
1019
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:26,120
So, you know, onus is going to
be in the online to win up some
1020
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:29,000
holes and running backs to
continue kind of doing their
1021
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:32,080
thing.
I do feel somewhat more
1022
00:59:32,080 --> 00:59:34,800
confident, as Curtis previously
alluded to, that we do have a
1023
00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:38,400
head coach who seems to be, you
know, have a basic level of
1024
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:42,320
competence in, you know, winning
close games and you know, you're
1025
00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:44,240
going to be involved in a lot of
close games this league.
1026
00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:47,320
So if you can at least make it a
coin flip, that's good.
1027
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:50,560
You know it's better than you
know, having a you know O 91
1028
00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:54,520
winning percentage, maybe the
worst close game coach ever in
1029
00:59:54,520 --> 00:59:58,440
last 25 years of college
football, but nonetheless
1030
00:59:58,760 --> 00:59:59,360
beside.
The point?
1031
01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:03,760
We will hopefully, hopefully, if
it's a tight game, we can manage
1032
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:08,520
to pull this one out.
I I love Sheldon just beating
1033
01:00:08,520 --> 01:00:11,280
the dead horse there.
That's that's, that's so
1034
01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:15,240
amazing.
I'm going to I'm going to go
1035
01:00:15,240 --> 01:00:17,240
here.
So it's a couple things for me.
1036
01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:20,080
So obviously I think everybody's
kind of talked about it.
1037
01:00:20,080 --> 01:00:22,120
We got to run the football.
We got to run it successfully.
1038
01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:25,160
We got to control town
possession, but we've got to be
1039
01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:28,280
good in the red zone and
finishing drives and getting 7,
1040
01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:32,920
not 3 because Louisville is
going to be able to score the
1041
01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:36,200
football.
So if you're not it, it, it
1042
01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:39,000
doesn't matter how much time
you're taking off the clock if
1043
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:41,760
you're not getting 7 when you
get down there.
1044
01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:44,920
So we got to be efficient
getting in the red zone and and
1045
01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:46,440
scoring the football when we get
there.
1046
01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:51,760
Oh, it's my turn now.
It's you, yeah.
1047
01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:55,400
Well, I want to just beat the
old dead horse.
1048
01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:58,280
I've been beaten a few weeks
here and that's going to be Reds
1049
01:00:58,280 --> 01:01:00,960
on defense because guess what,
you went the.
1050
01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:05,720
Other way?
We're still not that good at
1051
01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:09,560
Reds on defense, we're still
dead last.
1052
01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:16,080
There have been 32 possessions.
Teams are scoring 1616
1053
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:20,840
touchdowns.
Excuse me, 26 touchdowns and or
1054
01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:24,000
excuse me 1623 touchdowns, 9
field goals.
1055
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:25,400
I'm going to eventually get the
shit right.
1056
01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:27,960
We are dead last.
We are dead last.
1057
01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:33,040
We have given up the most
threats on scores of anybody in
1058
01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:36,120
the country.
If you get down there, stop.
1059
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:39,960
Just one stop.
And the sad part is we did get a
1060
01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:43,680
stop at the 25 on Friday night.
Unfortunately they couldn't get
1061
01:01:43,960 --> 01:01:46,640
a couple yards so we can get out
of our bats.
1062
01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:51,720
Thank thankfully though in the
the first overtime they started
1063
01:01:51,720 --> 01:01:54,160
at the 25.
And they scored, so they didn't
1064
01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:55,920
have the 33rd.
Score.
1065
01:01:56,240 --> 01:02:02,000
Yeah, but red zone, red zone
defense, I mean, it, it's been
1066
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:06,280
the biggest challenge all year.
And the other thing it's it's
1067
01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:09,760
going to sound the only game
they lost this year to UVA, they
1068
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:14,520
had multiple turnovers and you
know, it was amazing.
1069
01:02:14,520 --> 01:02:17,080
We won the game.
We did not turn the ball over it
1070
01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:19,840
for Cal.
They turned it over on us and
1071
01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:22,480
took a sheer 3 off the board,
which could have been the game.
1072
01:02:23,160 --> 01:02:26,480
So I mean, I know that's basic
talk, but it's like if you get
1073
01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:29,600
into, it's just like if they get
down there, because the one
1074
01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:33,320
thing about Brahm, he does get
hyper aggressive when he gets in
1075
01:02:33,320 --> 01:02:35,880
the red zone.
They do not like to kick field
1076
01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:38,400
goals.
So if you get that 4th and three
1077
01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:41,280
and they're going for it because
they just want to try to bury
1078
01:02:41,280 --> 01:02:46,840
us, then stop them there, make
them pay.
1079
01:02:49,320 --> 01:02:53,200
Is anybody picking us besides
Marcus?
1080
01:02:56,160 --> 01:02:58,600
Anybody in the chat?
I'm gonna, I'm gonna go ahead.
1081
01:02:58,800 --> 01:02:59,920
I'll, I'll put, I'll put it out
there.
1082
01:02:59,920 --> 01:03:03,000
I'm not picking us to win.
I am picking us to keep it
1083
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:05,040
probably closer than a lot of
people think.
1084
01:03:06,200 --> 01:03:07,480
Let me look at the line real
quick.
1085
01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:09,440
I got it on the phone.
Yeah, throw the line in there
1086
01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:11,680
while I'm while I'm talking.
I think it's tip and 1/2 right?
1087
01:03:12,080 --> 01:03:17,480
Did he go down?
Oh shit, I think that it's a
1088
01:03:17,480 --> 01:03:18,640
touchdown game.
I think.
1089
01:03:18,640 --> 01:03:23,240
I think we lose this one like
3220530124 somewhere in that
1090
01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:26,600
range all.
Right, Shelton.
1091
01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:34,400
I had 3120 Louisville all right.
He's saying they're going to
1092
01:03:34,400 --> 01:03:36,920
cover the hook.
Yeah, playing with the hook
1093
01:03:36,920 --> 01:03:45,080
there, playing with the danger
zone tally. 3521 similar to what
1094
01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:48,240
the Georgia Tech game look like.
It's what I feel that I know
1095
01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:50,720
we're not going to give up.
I feel like we'll, you know, try
1096
01:03:50,720 --> 01:03:54,760
to make it a game, give me just
a little bit of hope, but not
1097
01:03:54,760 --> 01:04:01,680
really be able to really do it.
Because it all it's all going to
1098
01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:04,280
come down to like the first
half, right?
1099
01:04:05,360 --> 01:04:09,280
Because the Georgia Tech game
after the first quarter, it was
1100
01:04:09,280 --> 01:04:12,800
basically an even game.
But when you go down 18 in the
1101
01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:14,680
first quarter, like, OK, this
game is over.
1102
01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:19,400
Like we do not have the the
horsepower to get that caught
1103
01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:24,800
back up.
I'm I'm, I'm about where Shelton
1104
01:04:24,800 --> 01:04:28,840
is.
I'll go 3424, like 10 points.
1105
01:04:28,840 --> 01:04:30,640
I think we'll fight all the way
through.
1106
01:04:32,120 --> 01:04:34,480
But yeah, I, I just, I can't do
it at that time.
1107
01:04:35,680 --> 01:04:38,720
Can somebody tell that there's
an issue when you do this?
1108
01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:46,480
That's just numbers.
Who's winning the game?
1109
01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:47,760
Who's winning the game?
I'm.
1110
01:04:48,120 --> 01:04:49,600
Going to assume you're you're
you're taking.
1111
01:04:49,680 --> 01:04:53,720
Oh yeah, we we know who we say
is winning the game and it
1112
01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:54,880
ain't.
What do you think?
1113
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:02,760
Just just just to put this out
here, I want Chris, you sticking
1114
01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:04,600
with that?
You sticking with that?
1115
01:05:04,600 --> 01:05:09,600
Let us know.
All righty, let's get ahead and
1116
01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:14,200
make some predictions for big
screeners.
1117
01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:20,160
Brian had to do the walk of
shame last Sunday because Brian
1118
01:05:20,160 --> 01:05:24,000
didn't win a damn game last.
Week that was a bad, bad
1119
01:05:24,240 --> 01:05:28,000
counting for me, for it was
funny.
1120
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:31,000
It was already bad.
And then like the North Dakota
1121
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:34,600
State game like that, that being
a complete blowout.
1122
01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:37,320
Wow, I was.
Like OK.
1123
01:05:37,680 --> 01:05:39,640
All right.
So that even even the one I
1124
01:05:39,640 --> 01:05:41,840
thought was I was like, Oh well,
at least this one's going to.
1125
01:05:41,840 --> 01:05:43,800
It'll at least make me look like
I know what I'm talking about.
1126
01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:48,000
And no, it did not.
Not at all.
1127
01:05:48,600 --> 01:05:52,760
So everybody else went two and
two last week 500 that with us
1128
01:05:52,760 --> 01:05:58,400
and you'd have been OK let's.
Get to I'm back in the cellar.
1129
01:05:58,400 --> 01:06:03,320
Curtis passed me again my.
Whole game tally, tally tally
1130
01:06:03,320 --> 01:06:06,080
creeping back towards 500.
He might get there for the end
1131
01:06:06,080 --> 01:06:08,480
of the season.
What this is telling us, Curtis,
1132
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:11,000
though, is don't bet with us.
Don't bet with us.
1133
01:06:11,360 --> 01:06:12,120
All of.
These.
1134
01:06:13,360 --> 01:06:16,160
Although you know what the the
the craziest thing there was a
1135
01:06:16,160 --> 01:06:21,440
few weeks ago where the hook got
every single one of us twice.
1136
01:06:22,480 --> 01:06:26,160
Like the hook, it was like the
Notre Dame UFC week.
1137
01:06:26,640 --> 01:06:28,440
It was like 10 1/2.
They lost by 11.
1138
01:06:28,440 --> 01:06:31,600
I had them there and like Tally
had somebody who was like 6 1/2.
1139
01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:34,400
They won by a touchdown and it
was like a late touchdown.
1140
01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:37,720
It was just like mine.
All righty.
1141
01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:44,200
So what's the first game?
Brian, all right here.
1142
01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:47,920
We go, it's yours, it's my, my,
my game is the first game and
1143
01:06:47,920 --> 01:06:51,680
I'm picking a very interesting
one here for several reason.
1144
01:06:52,280 --> 01:06:55,320
Memphis Rice.
Rice is a 13 1/2 point dog at
1145
01:06:55,320 --> 01:06:58,200
home.
Obviously Ron Silverfield, who
1146
01:06:58,200 --> 01:06:59,880
we've all been trying to keep
our own.
1147
01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:03,160
That's kind of Shelton, one of
his big guys that he likes
1148
01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:05,800
potentially taking over as an ex
Hokies coach.
1149
01:07:05,800 --> 01:07:11,200
But I want to focus just a
little bit on the coach of Rice
1150
01:07:11,360 --> 01:07:13,920
for a couple reasons.
First of all, if you don't know
1151
01:07:13,920 --> 01:07:17,440
who the coach of Rice is, of
Rice is, his name is Scott Abel.
1152
01:07:18,680 --> 01:07:21,880
And me and Brian have a little
bit of connection to Scott Abel.
1153
01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:27,400
Brian's late stepbrother Todd
played with Scott at Longwood
1154
01:07:27,400 --> 01:07:31,240
University when they went to the
D2 College World Series back in
1155
01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:34,120
the 90s.
Scott Abel was actually in my
1156
01:07:34,120 --> 01:07:37,040
fraternity.
And if you look at Scott Abel,
1157
01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:42,000
you ever, you ever want to talk
about literally coming from the
1158
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:47,640
ground level, the ground level
of coaching to get up to
1159
01:07:47,640 --> 01:07:53,080
Division One, Scott Abel's it.
Scott Able coached at Albemarle,
1160
01:07:53,080 --> 01:07:57,200
Weston, Albemarle, Alta Vista,
Liberty, Amherst County.
1161
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:03,680
Only Albemarle of those schools,
Brian are like it's 5A up here.
1162
01:08:04,120 --> 01:08:07,360
They're only, that's the only
big school he coached at for
1163
01:08:07,360 --> 01:08:10,600
basically the 1st 15 years of
his coaching career.
1164
01:08:11,440 --> 01:08:14,520
He then went to Washington and
Lee as the OC, then the head
1165
01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:16,240
coach, then Davison and then
Rice.
1166
01:08:17,680 --> 01:08:24,120
And so it's cool to see this
because it still happens.
1167
01:08:25,160 --> 01:08:30,000
And and even though I'm not
going to pick with him because I
1168
01:08:30,080 --> 01:08:32,800
think still feeling them going
to blow them off the doors, the
1169
01:08:32,800 --> 01:08:36,880
doors off of them is still to
see cool stories like this and
1170
01:08:36,880 --> 01:08:40,600
someone that you know again,
he's he's he's significantly
1171
01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:44,840
older than me, but was in my
fraternity in college connection
1172
01:08:44,840 --> 01:08:46,920
with Brian with his dad were
playing baseball with him back
1173
01:08:46,920 --> 01:08:52,319
in the early 1990s.
But as far as pit goes, Scott, I
1174
01:08:52,319 --> 01:08:54,080
hope you keep doing what you're
doing, man.
1175
01:08:54,080 --> 01:09:03,840
But Memphis by 21 Sheldon.
Yes, I am taking Memphis.
1176
01:09:04,680 --> 01:09:06,880
God bless Rice, man.
It's a tough, it's a tough job,
1177
01:09:06,880 --> 01:09:12,200
but I think Memphis is a wagon.
Beating USF last week, kind of
1178
01:09:12,200 --> 01:09:14,640
taking control of that of that
conference, and I love, I love
1179
01:09:14,640 --> 01:09:15,760
the job that Silverfield's
doing.
1180
01:09:15,760 --> 01:09:20,439
So rolling with the Tigers.
Tally.
1181
01:09:22,200 --> 01:09:27,240
I got to go with benefits, man.
I mean, Curtis gave us a cool
1182
01:09:27,240 --> 01:09:29,720
story and ain't going to help
him on the field.
1183
01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:34,160
Even I admit that cool story and
not going to help him, but he is
1184
01:09:34,160 --> 01:09:36,000
4/4 in his first year down
there.
1185
01:09:37,040 --> 01:09:39,240
There you go.
That's pretty impressive.
1186
01:09:42,240 --> 01:09:47,720
Yeah, I'm riding with Memphis as
well of the, you know, college
1187
01:09:47,720 --> 01:09:51,279
coaches I've got some tenuous
line of connection with.
1188
01:09:51,279 --> 01:09:53,920
I'm I'm going to go with the the
one that actually coached me on
1189
01:09:53,920 --> 01:09:57,800
this one.
So and that's no knock to Abel.
1190
01:09:59,480 --> 01:10:04,040
I think him taking a little bit
of a winding path is is great
1191
01:10:04,840 --> 01:10:08,880
going from D3 after coaching
high school football for so, so,
1192
01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:14,240
so long and then going to D1 non
scholarship and then jumping up
1193
01:10:14,240 --> 01:10:16,960
to to Rice.
Now I think that's a that's a
1194
01:10:16,960 --> 01:10:21,480
pretty crazy path to get there
at 55 S Hats off to him, but
1195
01:10:21,480 --> 01:10:26,720
it's going to be the the Tigers.
All righty, who's up next in
1196
01:10:26,720 --> 01:10:28,760
their game?
Tally.
1197
01:10:29,120 --> 01:10:31,000
It's the tally, it's the tally.
It's it's.
1198
01:10:32,880 --> 01:10:35,960
It's the beamer bowl part.
Keep it going, man.
1199
01:10:38,320 --> 01:10:40,280
I got to see what he's going to
do every week.
1200
01:10:40,280 --> 01:10:43,160
Once I started that that
gauntlet that he was going
1201
01:10:43,160 --> 01:10:44,440
through, I got to see it
through.
1202
01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:49,160
I actually, I'm going to take
South Carolina in this game.
1203
01:10:52,200 --> 01:10:55,480
I just feel like I watched him
last week against Alabama and I
1204
01:10:55,480 --> 01:11:01,160
feel like the little bit of the
curse Virginia Tech has on them.
1205
01:11:01,520 --> 01:11:05,400
Shane has inherited that some
things that are going to go
1206
01:11:05,400 --> 01:11:07,200
wrong is going to go wrong for
him.
1207
01:11:08,040 --> 01:11:11,000
He'll make it close, but still
going to lose.
1208
01:11:11,760 --> 01:11:16,640
So I would say probably Ole Miss
wins this game by 10 points all.
1209
01:11:18,720 --> 01:11:22,240
Right.
Tally, I'm right there with you.
1210
01:11:22,240 --> 01:11:25,760
I think this is going to be one
of those games where South
1211
01:11:25,760 --> 01:11:28,240
Carolina hangs around, hangs
around, hangs around, but can't
1212
01:11:28,240 --> 01:11:31,360
get it done at the end.
You know, we saw it a little bit
1213
01:11:31,360 --> 01:11:33,120
against Alabama.
We've seen it a couple other
1214
01:11:33,120 --> 01:11:34,800
times this year.
I think we're going to see it
1215
01:11:34,800 --> 01:11:38,280
again.
So I think it could be 8 or 9
1216
01:11:38,280 --> 01:11:41,680
point win by Ole Miss, but I
think South Carolina will do
1217
01:11:41,680 --> 01:11:48,680
enough to cover that 12 1/2.
Well, hold on Sheldon.
1218
01:11:48,680 --> 01:11:49,480
I'm first.
I got it.
1219
01:11:49,480 --> 01:11:50,720
I got it.
Hold on.
1220
01:11:52,280 --> 01:11:55,480
I do have to say this
regardless, and I know whether
1221
01:11:55,480 --> 01:11:57,320
you like Shane, hate Shane and
whatnot.
1222
01:11:58,160 --> 01:12:01,760
Tally his kids are still
fighting their asses for me.
1223
01:12:01,800 --> 01:12:06,080
They they had Bama on the roads
last weekend and it crumbled
1224
01:12:06,080 --> 01:12:09,440
late unfortunately.
So, So what I hate to hear,
1225
01:12:09,440 --> 01:12:13,280
though, no disrespect to them,
but what I hate to hear about
1226
01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:17,800
Shane and they put I got to quit
having this malice in my heart
1227
01:12:17,800 --> 01:12:21,440
toward him just because I feel
like he has so much malice in
1228
01:12:21,440 --> 01:12:24,000
his heart, heart toward Virginia
Tech.
1229
01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:28,240
He put so much on that first
game, you know, and I get it.
1230
01:12:28,240 --> 01:12:30,480
It was emotional.
That's where his dad coached.
1231
01:12:30,920 --> 01:12:34,200
You know, you got to talk about
his kids and hanging, hanging
1232
01:12:34,200 --> 01:12:37,800
the game ball to his dad and we
talked about his kids fighting.
1233
01:12:38,240 --> 01:12:40,240
They're not going through
adversity.
1234
01:12:40,560 --> 01:12:43,320
They have everything that's
supposed to, they were supposed
1235
01:12:43,320 --> 01:12:50,200
to be a, a playoff team.
I mean, they said that they had
1236
01:12:50,200 --> 01:12:52,560
the number one quarterback, They
said they had the number one
1237
01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:54,480
defender.
They said they had the number
1238
01:12:54,480 --> 01:12:58,960
one wide receiver.
And you keep losing games.
1239
01:12:59,120 --> 01:13:02,960
So fighting is not the word.
They are failing.
1240
01:13:03,400 --> 01:13:08,160
He needs to go win some games.
You, you had Alabama on the
1241
01:13:08,160 --> 01:13:09,720
ropes.
You're supposed to beat Alabama.
1242
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:11,680
You got all the stuff to beat
them.
1243
01:13:12,560 --> 01:13:14,920
He just doesn't coach his teams
to win.
1244
01:13:15,640 --> 01:13:19,160
They felt like I think I've seen
one of the South Carolina fans
1245
01:13:19,520 --> 01:13:25,080
put a a tweet on on on X and he
was like, in this moment, I just
1246
01:13:25,080 --> 01:13:26,560
knew everything in the world was
right.
1247
01:13:26,560 --> 01:13:29,120
And it was the first series of
it was Virginia Tech.
1248
01:13:29,520 --> 01:13:31,560
You know what I'm saying?
Well, they just drove the ball
1249
01:13:31,560 --> 01:13:33,880
and rammed it down.
I throw their fans thought they
1250
01:13:33,880 --> 01:13:37,320
were going to the playoffs after
that and now they came back down
1251
01:13:37,320 --> 01:13:38,480
to earth.
So I'm loving it.
1252
01:13:38,720 --> 01:13:40,480
I'm a hater.
So what?
1253
01:13:41,640 --> 01:13:45,440
I hope Lane Given.
I hope Lane Kiffin scores 70
1254
01:13:45,440 --> 01:13:47,640
points on him.
I really do.
1255
01:13:48,480 --> 01:13:50,480
And I think Lane keeps cover
and.
1256
01:13:50,480 --> 01:13:52,080
Keep him away from Virginia
Tech.
1257
01:13:52,080 --> 01:13:56,320
I'm going to throw that in too.
Lanes don't cover because last
1258
01:13:56,320 --> 01:14:00,160
week they chain got me.
He didn't get me this week.
1259
01:14:00,480 --> 01:14:05,840
Almost by 21.
Yeah, I feel like, I feel like
1260
01:14:05,840 --> 01:14:08,960
South Carolina's on the verge
of, you know, kind of quitting.
1261
01:14:08,960 --> 01:14:10,600
So I had to.
Granted, I thought that last
1262
01:14:10,600 --> 01:14:13,480
week too, but I will be taking
Ole Miss.
1263
01:14:13,480 --> 01:14:16,120
I just don't like, I don't like
the vibes from the Gamecocks
1264
01:14:16,320 --> 01:14:18,320
right now.
They're in some hot water.
1265
01:14:18,440 --> 01:14:20,440
Lots of discourse around the
coach getting fired and it's
1266
01:14:20,440 --> 01:14:24,640
never, never a good sign.
So you telling me I'm the only
1267
01:14:24,640 --> 01:14:27,240
one with Brian?
Change it, change it.
1268
01:14:27,680 --> 01:14:31,560
Give me all this.
I don't want to be.
1269
01:14:32,280 --> 01:14:38,400
With Brian like that sounds.
Don't put me on, please.
1270
01:14:38,800 --> 01:14:40,760
Come on now.
It's a stinking ship over there
1271
01:14:40,840 --> 01:14:45,080
buddy.
Cox will not be able to handle
1272
01:14:45,080 --> 01:14:46,960
old piss.
It's hurting.
1273
01:14:47,120 --> 01:14:48,600
My heart, it's hurting my heart,
Tyler.
1274
01:14:49,360 --> 01:14:52,560
I Who's next?
Shelton.
1275
01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:55,440
And Oh my God, what?
A Let's go.
1276
01:14:55,680 --> 01:14:58,320
All right, I went a little bit
with the wild card here, but
1277
01:14:58,320 --> 01:15:00,600
this is in my opinion, the best
G5 game of the week.
1278
01:15:01,560 --> 01:15:03,360
This week.
Navy and North Texas, two really
1279
01:15:03,360 --> 01:15:08,040
good teams in the American.
I think it will be a low
1280
01:15:08,040 --> 01:15:12,560
possession, low scoring game,
but I will take Navy to cover.
1281
01:15:13,320 --> 01:15:16,440
I think the Schmidt shipment
will get a big win and try to
1282
01:15:16,440 --> 01:15:18,800
assert themselves for supremacy
in the American.
1283
01:15:20,640 --> 01:15:23,960
Tally I'm.
Going to go with Navy as well.
1284
01:15:25,880 --> 01:15:29,080
I just like watching the play.
It's fun, you know what I'm
1285
01:15:29,080 --> 01:15:31,320
saying?
Like a bag just said, North
1286
01:15:31,320 --> 01:15:33,840
Texas has been fun to watch too.
Great game by child.
1287
01:15:33,840 --> 01:15:35,640
I would have never picked that
game as a big Serena.
1288
01:15:35,640 --> 01:15:37,560
It's because I didn't pay enough
attention.
1289
01:15:37,560 --> 01:15:39,680
But once he put it up, I was
like, you know what, It's
1290
01:15:39,720 --> 01:15:41,960
probably going to be a pretty
cool game to watch, you know
1291
01:15:41,960 --> 01:15:45,320
what I'm saying?
Just chilling watching football.
1292
01:15:45,400 --> 01:15:47,920
Let's watch that one.
So I think Navy is going to pull
1293
01:15:47,920 --> 01:15:51,120
it out though.
Yeah, this is this is an
1294
01:15:51,120 --> 01:15:53,960
interesting one, like really
kind of clash of styles and
1295
01:15:53,960 --> 01:15:55,480
things like that.
So it's going to be a fun one to
1296
01:15:55,480 --> 01:15:58,520
watch on the screen I feel like.
But I'm going to take Navy to
1297
01:15:59,480 --> 01:16:02,960
not only take the victory here,
I think they'll they'll win
1298
01:16:03,960 --> 01:16:07,400
maybe about about a touchdown.
So I'll go with Navy.
1299
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:15,120
You just said complete clash of
styles Navy #1 rushing offense
1300
01:16:15,120 --> 01:16:19,320
in the country.
North Texas is the #5 passing
1301
01:16:19,320 --> 01:16:23,680
offense in the country.
It's all going to come down to
1302
01:16:24,080 --> 01:16:28,000
possessions.
And can North Texas like, stop
1303
01:16:28,000 --> 01:16:30,720
Navy at least once driving the
ball?
1304
01:16:31,560 --> 01:16:35,360
I don't think they can.
I think Navy wins this game.
1305
01:16:36,040 --> 01:16:37,880
I think I'm with you, Ryan.
It's like a touchdown.
1306
01:16:38,160 --> 01:16:41,600
Like Navy does something stupid
like gets the ball with 11
1307
01:16:41,600 --> 01:16:44,680
minutes to go in the fourth
quarter tie game and they drive
1308
01:16:44,680 --> 01:16:48,440
it and literally score like 8
seconds left because we've seen
1309
01:16:48,440 --> 01:16:51,840
that shit happen.
So there we go.
1310
01:16:52,120 --> 01:16:54,440
We're all the do you want to
change your mind on this one too
1311
01:16:54,440 --> 01:16:56,760
Tally because Brian went with
this one as well.
1312
01:16:57,040 --> 01:16:59,960
I can't be with him by myself if
I if I got other people on there
1313
01:17:01,120 --> 01:17:05,600
just can't be.
It's like if if we on a scary
1314
01:17:05,600 --> 01:17:08,520
movie and we're we're all trying
to get to safety.
1315
01:17:08,640 --> 01:17:11,800
I'm not going with Brian.
He does not have a good track
1316
01:17:11,800 --> 01:17:14,960
record to run away from Texas
Chainsaw Mexico.
1317
01:17:17,240 --> 01:17:18,120
I don't.
Want to go?
1318
01:17:19,080 --> 01:17:19,920
We got it.
Always.
1319
01:17:20,040 --> 01:17:22,800
Wants to see what's going on
upstairs and then Sheldon's
1320
01:17:22,800 --> 01:17:26,040
going to find a way for us to
get out and at least try to go
1321
01:17:26,040 --> 01:17:28,880
get some help.
Brian's going to go hide in the
1322
01:17:29,400 --> 01:17:34,600
in the cellar with the hooks and
every time.
1323
01:17:35,680 --> 01:17:38,320
Oh, he is just phone you, Brian.
That's all right.
1324
01:17:39,040 --> 01:17:40,120
What?
What a fun.
1325
01:17:40,120 --> 01:17:45,160
What a fun episode, boys.
Anything else before we get
1326
01:17:45,240 --> 01:17:47,560
ready to close this week?
We got one more, man.
1327
01:17:49,400 --> 01:17:51,440
Yeah, one more.
Oh, you'll even be hanging.
1328
01:17:51,480 --> 01:17:53,520
You'll even.
Be hanging, you don't even.
1329
01:17:55,080 --> 01:17:59,320
Want me to pick?
We we will see something here
1330
01:17:59,320 --> 01:18:00,640
too.
Go for it, Brian.
1331
01:18:00,680 --> 01:18:05,440
All right, so if you told me at
the start of the season that in
1332
01:18:05,440 --> 01:18:10,120
this matchup Texas would not
have the Heisman hopeful, I
1333
01:18:10,120 --> 01:18:12,680
would have called you a fucking
liar.
1334
01:18:13,120 --> 01:18:16,400
But here we are.
The Heisman hope hopeful in this
1335
01:18:16,400 --> 01:18:20,080
matchup is Diego Pavia and not
Arch Manning.
1336
01:18:20,080 --> 01:18:23,520
So for that very reason, I'm
taking Randy.
1337
01:18:26,560 --> 01:18:29,120
I just don't think Texas is that
good of a team.
1338
01:18:29,480 --> 01:18:30,600
They should have lost
Mississippi.
1339
01:18:30,760 --> 01:18:34,720
They should have lost to
Mississippi State, and Dang,
1340
01:18:34,800 --> 01:18:36,680
they should have.
Honestly, they should have lost
1341
01:18:36,680 --> 01:18:38,960
Mississippi State last week and
they should have lost to
1342
01:18:38,960 --> 01:18:41,560
Kentucky.
They should be something like 2
1343
01:18:41,560 --> 01:18:43,440
and 6.
I think that'd be about right.
1344
01:18:44,960 --> 01:18:47,240
Give me Vandy, give me a point
and a half.
1345
01:18:47,240 --> 01:18:51,000
Vandy wins.
Yeah, well, this is actually
1346
01:18:51,000 --> 01:18:53,880
easy pick for me, and it sounds
insane to say this, but I
1347
01:18:53,880 --> 01:18:56,080
actually think this is a trap
game for Vanderbilt.
1348
01:18:56,760 --> 01:19:01,080
I think Texas has easily a top
three, a top three defence in
1349
01:19:01,080 --> 01:19:03,160
the country.
Their defence I think is really
1350
01:19:03,160 --> 01:19:07,400
underrated with all the talk
about Ohio State and I think I
1351
01:19:07,400 --> 01:19:08,880
think Vanderbilt's just due for
a let down.
1352
01:19:08,880 --> 01:19:10,240
So that's why I took Texas Pain
link.
1353
01:19:10,840 --> 01:19:15,880
In, in in our lifetimes, did we
ever think that Vanderbilt would
1354
01:19:15,880 --> 01:19:20,160
be in a trap game?
Vanderbilt.
1355
01:19:24,880 --> 01:19:28,720
Bizarre word.
Yeah, kind of crazy sicko mode.
1356
01:19:28,800 --> 01:19:32,000
I thought it was going to be the
same kind of like you said, trap
1357
01:19:32,000 --> 01:19:34,600
game.
They came and and Vanderbilt
1358
01:19:34,600 --> 01:19:36,160
came off of a tough game last
week.
1359
01:19:36,200 --> 01:19:38,200
You know, Missouri's a tough
team.
1360
01:19:38,200 --> 01:19:41,800
They ended up losing their
quarterback very close game.
1361
01:19:42,120 --> 01:19:45,000
Then going into this game, I
think a lot of people are
1362
01:19:45,000 --> 01:19:48,200
overlooking Texas, but then also
I've seen the line and I was
1363
01:19:48,200 --> 01:19:50,160
like Vegas always knows
something, right?
1364
01:19:50,560 --> 01:19:53,320
So I was like, yeah, I think I'm
going to take Texas in this just
1365
01:19:53,320 --> 01:19:56,040
because of the kind of how they
had it set up.
1366
01:19:56,040 --> 01:19:58,880
I know it's pick em but I think
Texas takes it.
1367
01:20:01,000 --> 01:20:03,720
This is basically a true pick em
right with the 1 1/2 point.
1368
01:20:03,720 --> 01:20:09,040
That's basically like field.
Yeah, it's basically well, yeah,
1369
01:20:09,040 --> 01:20:14,400
it's the true pick em.
So no not the true pick em
1370
01:20:14,760 --> 01:20:19,520
because Texas could win 2827 and
you get the hook and Vandy takes
1371
01:20:19,520 --> 01:20:22,640
the win.
Yeah, and I thought the default
1372
01:20:22,640 --> 01:20:25,600
advantage for a home team is a
point and 1/2 so.
1373
01:20:26,520 --> 01:20:28,920
I thought it was 2 1/2.
That's 2 1/2, yeah.
1374
01:20:28,960 --> 01:20:31,040
It's two and a half, 2 1/2,
That's 2 1/2.
1375
01:20:31,280 --> 01:20:32,360
Yeah.
All right.
1376
01:20:32,680 --> 01:20:35,600
Now, is there anything else
you'd like to bring up and talk
1377
01:20:35,600 --> 01:20:39,960
about or is anything that's
breaking in the last 80 minutes
1378
01:20:39,960 --> 01:20:44,360
here?
Nothing really breaking, but I
1379
01:20:44,360 --> 01:20:49,600
will go back and touch on again
that I don't know what got into
1380
01:20:50,200 --> 01:20:54,000
coaching money after the game.
He was crying, he was emotional.
1381
01:20:55,640 --> 01:20:57,960
I don't know who he was coaching
that game for.
1382
01:20:58,320 --> 01:21:02,480
I don't know who was telling
that man he better win.
1383
01:21:02,480 --> 01:21:07,560
But shout out to him for getting
out there and putting his all
1384
01:21:07,560 --> 01:21:10,160
in.
The trying to get WS, trying to
1385
01:21:10,160 --> 01:21:12,920
get some of these kids to the
next level, trying to get some
1386
01:21:12,920 --> 01:21:19,160
kids seen because again, it is
fun to see a team that is
1387
01:21:19,640 --> 01:21:23,320
playing hard, a staff just
having fun kids that are just
1388
01:21:23,320 --> 01:21:27,560
out there doing what they do.
So again, wasn't expecting to
1389
01:21:27,560 --> 01:21:29,720
see him that emotional in that
game.
1390
01:21:30,080 --> 01:21:34,040
But maybe we can bring some of
these these those emotions to
1391
01:21:34,040 --> 01:21:36,680
this Louisville game and let's
make another memory.
1392
01:21:38,880 --> 01:21:42,240
Media staff has been on .2.
Have y'all seen a new video yet?
1393
01:21:43,240 --> 01:21:46,920
Haven't seen it yet.
When you get off here, when you
1394
01:21:46,920 --> 01:21:48,760
get off here, they got the
video.
1395
01:21:48,760 --> 01:21:50,520
You know, when you look at your
phone, they tell you turn it
1396
01:21:50,520 --> 01:21:53,000
sideways.
When that phone, when that phone
1397
01:21:53,000 --> 01:21:55,120
goes sideways, you know,
somebody's cooking.
1398
01:21:56,640 --> 01:21:57,720
I don't.
Do that.
1399
01:21:57,720 --> 01:22:01,360
I'm going to do that then.
Anything else, gentlemen?
1400
01:22:01,480 --> 01:22:03,760
Yeah, media, media team has been
cooking all year.
1401
01:22:03,800 --> 01:22:05,800
And I mean, this is just another
example.
1402
01:22:05,880 --> 01:22:07,560
I mean, they they've been
knocked out of the park and
1403
01:22:07,960 --> 01:22:10,120
unfortunately we haven't given a
whole lot of wins where they can
