This week we put a bow on the Old Dominion game with our new segment Tell The Truth Tuesday. We tell you what worked, what didn't work, what surprised us, and what we can do better moving forward. We then turn the page to Purdue as we get to Know the Enemy. Wrapping up the episode is our week Big Screeners segment as we pick the Hokies game and 6 other contests against the spread.
1
00:00:45,770 --> 00:00:49,850
And welcome back to the Boundary
Corner Podcast with my partners
2
00:00:49,850 --> 00:00:53,270
Brian Siegler, John Vitali in
Shelton Malls.
3
00:00:53,270 --> 00:00:56,150
I am Curtis Wilson in this
episode is brought to you by
4
00:00:56,150 --> 00:00:59,430
Doctor Jeremy Counts at the Main
Street Pharmacy, your friendly
5
00:00:59,430 --> 00:01:04,269
neighborhood pharmacy located at
301 S Main St. in Blacksburg.
6
00:01:04,430 --> 00:01:08,310
Also letting everybody know,
don't forget Rowdy for Robbie,
7
00:01:08,630 --> 00:01:10,910
that is continuing.
This week's going to be back in
8
00:01:10,910 --> 00:01:14,590
Lot 1, back at spot 164.
Again game day.
9
00:01:14,590 --> 00:01:18,470
Don't quite have the time yet.
I would assume probably sometime
10
00:01:18,470 --> 00:01:22,830
between 10:00 and 11:00, but
definitely check that out.
11
00:01:23,990 --> 00:01:26,830
Also at Main Street Pharmacy you
can purchase there they are
12
00:01:26,830 --> 00:01:33,110
$7.00 at the pharmacy only Venmo
on game day in lot 1 cash and
13
00:01:33,110 --> 00:01:36,110
Venmo accepted.
Gentlemen, how are we doing on
14
00:01:36,110 --> 00:01:40,350
this wonderful winning Tuesday?
I tell you, recording the pod
15
00:01:40,350 --> 00:01:43,110
after a win is a whole lot more
fun, man.
16
00:01:44,590 --> 00:01:47,790
Everything's more fun waking up,
going to work.
17
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,160
Seeing your kids, seeing your
wife after a win, so much
18
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,680
better.
Just got a whole better attitude
19
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:58,280
towards the world.
It feels good to watch a
20
00:01:58,280 --> 00:01:59,840
competent football team, that's
for sure.
21
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,640
It does feel good to watch a
confident football team, and
22
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,200
that was a good thing on
Saturday night as the Hokies win
23
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:14,480
3619, excuse me, 3617 over ODU.
We got a lot to talk about.
24
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:19,450
We are going to unlock that game
in a new segment this year to
25
00:02:19,450 --> 00:02:22,250
the podcast.
But before we jump on that and
26
00:02:22,250 --> 00:02:24,890
then before we actually get to
know the enemy Purdue, we're
27
00:02:24,890 --> 00:02:27,410
going to just have a couple talk
about a couple news and notes
28
00:02:27,410 --> 00:02:29,810
that have broken over the last
week since we last talked.
29
00:02:30,330 --> 00:02:34,610
And it came out Friday, but they
did not do the Friday end of day
30
00:02:34,610 --> 00:02:36,610
dump.
They actually did it early in
31
00:02:36,610 --> 00:02:39,450
the morning.
The expansion vote for the ACC
32
00:02:39,730 --> 00:02:43,330
finally passed.
Stanford, SMU and Cal are now
33
00:02:43,330 --> 00:02:46,930
finally members.
Just real quick, Shelton, what's
34
00:02:46,930 --> 00:02:51,170
your initial take on this?
Yeah, I mean obviously they had
35
00:02:51,170 --> 00:02:53,610
to get one of the votes to flip
in order to make this move
36
00:02:53,610 --> 00:02:55,410
happen.
That turned out to be in C State
37
00:02:55,890 --> 00:02:59,530
who kind of bucked with away
from UNC and making that
38
00:02:59,530 --> 00:03:01,890
decision.
You know it's a it's an
39
00:03:01,890 --> 00:03:04,330
interesting move.
Obviously you add, you know, two
40
00:03:04,330 --> 00:03:08,210
schools with good Olympic sports
in in Callan, Stanford and then
41
00:03:08,210 --> 00:03:11,290
I'll see SMU I think has a
burching program, lots of big
42
00:03:11,290 --> 00:03:14,650
money in that program with their
boosters overall.
43
00:03:15,010 --> 00:03:16,290
I don't know.
If it does a time for the
44
00:03:16,290 --> 00:03:18,090
league.
We'll see how it plays out.
45
00:03:18,090 --> 00:03:20,330
I think it's worth like a, you
know, kind of a Plan C move
46
00:03:20,770 --> 00:03:23,130
because they just, you know,
they didn't really have the off
47
00:03:23,130 --> 00:03:25,690
season they wanted to relative
to the Big 12 and the SEC.
48
00:03:26,530 --> 00:03:29,170
So yeah, I I mean, I don't know
what to make of it really.
49
00:03:29,850 --> 00:03:34,010
I think it's just it's just kind
of the way the summer's been
50
00:03:34,010 --> 00:03:35,570
gone.
I guess they wanted to just, you
51
00:03:35,570 --> 00:03:38,890
know, add someone and bring some
type of juice to the league.
52
00:03:38,890 --> 00:03:40,890
But.
But yeah, it wasn't, it wasn't a
53
00:03:40,890 --> 00:03:42,530
thing where I'm like, yeah, this
is super exciting.
54
00:03:42,530 --> 00:03:44,290
It just kind of, it's kind of is
what it is.
55
00:03:46,750 --> 00:03:50,110
Couple of different things.
I guess #1, if you're going to
56
00:03:50,110 --> 00:03:54,390
grab them, why not grab, why not
just go ahead and grab, you
57
00:03:54,390 --> 00:03:57,910
know, Oregon State and think
Washington State, you're already
58
00:03:57,910 --> 00:04:00,870
grabbing other two, grab them,
let them have somewhere to go
59
00:04:00,870 --> 00:04:02,630
to.
Oregon states actually ranked
60
00:04:02,630 --> 00:04:04,470
right now.
They got DJU out there.
61
00:04:04,990 --> 00:04:08,750
Hey, we need all the eyes we can
on the ACC right now if that's
62
00:04:08,750 --> 00:04:11,790
what we're going to do.
I thought it was a little bit.
63
00:04:13,660 --> 00:04:15,660
I don't know what how like how
they're going to go and what
64
00:04:15,660 --> 00:04:18,260
they're going to do as far as
like the SMU thing.
65
00:04:18,260 --> 00:04:21,420
They're saying they're going to
use, I guess, their campus or
66
00:04:21,420 --> 00:04:25,940
places that they have there as a
meeting ground for some of the
67
00:04:25,940 --> 00:04:29,500
sports and things like that.
I guess that makes sense why
68
00:04:29,500 --> 00:04:32,620
they would bring them in.
But still kind of, you know,
69
00:04:33,140 --> 00:04:34,500
don't know much about what we're
doing.
70
00:04:34,500 --> 00:04:37,060
But hey, it looks like they're
not getting paid for a while.
71
00:04:37,060 --> 00:04:40,620
So if we can just make money off
them being here for a little
72
00:04:40,620 --> 00:04:43,140
bit, shoot, let's do it.
Why not?
73
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,880
We we rounded up all the Olympic
sports and going to Jerry World
74
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,520
and.
Why not?
75
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:52,720
That seems like what the plan
is.
76
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,560
But I mean to me from a big
picture standpoint for the ACC,
77
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:01,760
this is a tread water move.
This is a we had to do something
78
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:06,640
and like Sheldon said, this was
a number C on the the choices
79
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,400
there.
You know, we talked about it a
80
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,120
lot like this is probably 2
years late.
81
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,760
On making a move for expansion,
they probably should have
82
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:21,440
circled the wagons when Texas
and Oklahoma jumped ships that
83
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:22,920
they started, they should have
started having some
84
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,640
conversations.
Then they waited.
85
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:30,440
Then you lose USC&UCLA to the
big and then you know you still
86
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,320
didn't make a move after that.
So this is what happens when you
87
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,320
drag your feet.
You end up kind of getting the
88
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,800
the the scraps if you will.
They're they're pretty solid
89
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,690
scraps in terms of.
You know what they bring to the
90
00:05:43,690 --> 00:05:46,970
table for sports that aren't
football, especially looking at
91
00:05:46,970 --> 00:05:51,370
the the West Coast teams.
But all this does is really kind
92
00:05:51,370 --> 00:05:55,130
of bring us back even with the
Big 12 in terms of financials.
93
00:05:55,490 --> 00:05:58,570
And I don't think that's a
longterm sustainable goal
94
00:05:58,570 --> 00:06:03,650
because you're you're going to
lose probably one to three of
95
00:06:04,130 --> 00:06:07,610
the bigger name schools in your
conference at some point in the
96
00:06:07,610 --> 00:06:09,490
next 10 years, right?
So.
97
00:06:11,030 --> 00:06:12,750
It's just a tread water move to
me.
98
00:06:12,990 --> 00:06:18,190
We'll see if if they can make
some other moves between now and
99
00:06:18,190 --> 00:06:20,990
then.
But it like it looks like it's
100
00:06:20,990 --> 00:06:22,910
something that's not really
going to come to fruition.
101
00:06:23,870 --> 00:06:27,590
It's just going to keep the ACC
alive after some of these big
102
00:06:27,590 --> 00:06:30,350
dogs kind of leave the
conference at some point in the
103
00:06:30,350 --> 00:06:32,710
next 10 years.
Yeah, that was the bigger pieces
104
00:06:32,710 --> 00:06:36,870
is right now including Notre
Dame, they're at 18 teams and if
105
00:06:36,870 --> 00:06:41,000
we've been keep hearing there's
five or six teams that want to
106
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,960
leave if it's effectively kept
above 12, ESPN can't terminate
107
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,400
the contract.
So now they're at that position
108
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,040
where they can't terminate the
contract tally you mentioned.
109
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:51,480
They ain't getting paid for a
long time.
110
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,880
SMU is getting nothing for seven
plus years.
111
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,080
Nothing.
Just happy to be here, They just
112
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,880
happy to be here.
But as we know, if you ain't
113
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,430
ever seen pony excess, that's a
lunatic bunch down there.
114
00:07:05,470 --> 00:07:07,390
I am sure their boosters are
going to be stroking some
115
00:07:07,390 --> 00:07:10,390
massive freaking checks.
If you ain't seen pony excess,
116
00:07:10,390 --> 00:07:12,710
probably one of the best 34
thirties ever made.
117
00:07:12,830 --> 00:07:14,750
Go check that out.
Definitely top five.
118
00:07:14,830 --> 00:07:16,310
Definitely top five way up
there.
119
00:07:16,670 --> 00:07:18,750
Also Stanford cash at the.
End of the night.
120
00:07:19,330 --> 00:07:21,450
You go watch that again tonight.
Well, you got work to do, so I
121
00:07:21,450 --> 00:07:24,770
mean why?
Not Stanford and Cal taking
122
00:07:24,770 --> 00:07:27,810
significantly reduced payouts.
I think they're only taking 30%
123
00:07:27,810 --> 00:07:30,050
upfront again.
So the money effectively is
124
00:07:30,050 --> 00:07:31,970
going into the current
conference there.
125
00:07:32,290 --> 00:07:34,530
You know, there's talk about how
many times you're going to go
126
00:07:34,530 --> 00:07:36,290
cross country and things like
that.
127
00:07:36,450 --> 00:07:38,890
The ACC is picking up, obviously
slamslot games.
128
00:07:39,330 --> 00:07:41,410
Why the ESPN wanted to make the
move.
129
00:07:41,690 --> 00:07:45,080
But this is such a reactionary
move because if you take a look
130
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,160
at all the programs that were
left out there, especially once
131
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,440
Oakland Tech, Oklahoma and Texas
decided to leave, you could have
132
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,600
got a potential cream of the
crop in the middle of the
133
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,240
country and then some solid West
Coast teams.
134
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,680
Instead, they stuck around nose
in the air.
135
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,040
Now we don't need to do that and
the next thing you know,
136
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,600
conference out West died.
The ACC is likely next on the
137
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,600
chopping block.
Wouldn't shock me.
138
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,360
Brian, you say 10 years,
somebody's just going to take a
139
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:11,920
risk and try to get out of the
Gor.
140
00:08:12,530 --> 00:08:15,170
Somebody's just going to take
that risk watch.
141
00:08:15,490 --> 00:08:19,330
And and somebody stated a couple
times, State of Florida's crazy
142
00:08:19,330 --> 00:08:22,770
enough they might be able to go
to court and get it completely
143
00:08:22,770 --> 00:08:25,330
dissolved.
All right, let's talk about
144
00:08:25,330 --> 00:08:28,210
this.
Some breaking news that we had
145
00:08:28,210 --> 00:08:36,610
heard for a while there.
It's Nick Gallows out for the
146
00:08:36,610 --> 00:08:39,770
year, which sucks.
Yeah, I hate that for him.
147
00:08:40,130 --> 00:08:44,840
Yeah, six years senior.
So, Brian, I'll lead back to you
148
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,560
on this.
That leaves Benji Gosnell,
149
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,240
Dequan Wright and HSG as your
tight ends.
150
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,400
What do you think?
They're going to miss the
151
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:56,960
leadership in that room for
sure.
152
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,720
That's that's the biggest thing
that I think is going to be
153
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,480
heard here.
I think from a just an overall
154
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:07,200
talent perspective the the two
guys behind him are are very
155
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,800
good, very reliable from that
standpoint but.
156
00:09:10,390 --> 00:09:13,990
It's something to be said for a
guy that's seen it all was in
157
00:09:13,990 --> 00:09:18,630
the system last year, took the
majority of the snaps last year.
158
00:09:19,070 --> 00:09:22,510
You can't really replace that
type of experience, especially
159
00:09:22,510 --> 00:09:26,030
when the other two guys, you
know, one didn't get a single
160
00:09:26,030 --> 00:09:29,750
snap last year because of injury
and the other was in a reduced
161
00:09:29,750 --> 00:09:34,030
role as a true freshman and
playing mostly kind of a joker
162
00:09:34,030 --> 00:09:37,590
type role in the offense.
So that's something that we're
163
00:09:37,590 --> 00:09:40,930
going to have to look at, but.
You know, sucks for him and I
164
00:09:40,930 --> 00:09:45,050
mean that's that's a big blow
and you know he came back to to
165
00:09:45,050 --> 00:09:48,650
try to have a, you know a better
year this year and unfortunately
166
00:09:48,650 --> 00:09:52,290
doesn't get to to really be a
part of it as we move forward.
167
00:09:52,290 --> 00:09:58,210
But you know we got Gosnell
looked really good in in the
168
00:09:58,210 --> 00:10:02,370
game against ODU we saw right.
He had a couple drops also came
169
00:10:02,370 --> 00:10:04,530
back made a couple plays in the
passing game.
170
00:10:04,530 --> 00:10:08,130
So I mean we got some ability
there I think from a blocking
171
00:10:08,130 --> 00:10:10,830
perspective.
Benji showed out pretty good,
172
00:10:10,830 --> 00:10:14,150
kind of in the same ballpark
with with with Gallo and from
173
00:10:14,150 --> 00:10:16,790
that perspective.
So we'll see if he can kind of
174
00:10:16,790 --> 00:10:19,590
continue to hone that skill, but
definitely a big blow from a
175
00:10:19,590 --> 00:10:22,190
leadership perspective.
Yeah, definitely.
176
00:10:22,390 --> 00:10:24,830
You don't never want to, you
know, discount somebody being
177
00:10:25,150 --> 00:10:28,350
heard in the time they put into
the to the program.
178
00:10:28,350 --> 00:10:31,150
So, you know, definitely prayers
going out to Nick Gallo.
179
00:10:31,670 --> 00:10:34,350
I think he's a captain, Captain
this year, so I'm sure he'll
180
00:10:34,350 --> 00:10:36,950
still be around the team still,
you know.
181
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,240
Be able to provide that
leadership even though he's not
182
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,040
on the field.
But I will say with the guys
183
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:46,520
that we do have in now, although
we're young, but we're young in
184
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,640
a lot of places, seems like we
say that a lot.
185
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,040
The tight ends that we have are
kind of a different mold than
186
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:54,800
him.
If you go back and look through
187
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:59,080
like Virginia Tech history of
tight ends, Gallo reminded me of
188
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:03,120
like a Ryan Mallett, the tight
ends that we have now.
189
00:11:03,700 --> 00:11:06,100
Benji's kind of close to Nick,
but he's a little bit more
190
00:11:06,100 --> 00:11:13,140
athletic, so I don't want to go
quite a Bucky type tidying for
191
00:11:13,140 --> 00:11:15,260
him.
He's just himself.
192
00:11:15,980 --> 00:11:18,140
But when you look at like
Daquan, right, he's going to be
193
00:11:18,140 --> 00:11:20,940
flanked out wild a lot more like
Bucky was.
194
00:11:20,980 --> 00:11:23,900
So I think for the offense is
going to give them some more
195
00:11:23,900 --> 00:11:25,540
flexibility of things they can
do.
196
00:11:26,300 --> 00:11:29,900
But we just got to figure out as
far as when we're wanting to
197
00:11:29,900 --> 00:11:33,420
block those zones and when we're
wanting to, you know, have that.
198
00:11:33,650 --> 00:11:37,330
Two set tidy and close, who's
going to be able to block and
199
00:11:37,330 --> 00:11:39,930
who's going to go and put a body
in front of somebody.
200
00:11:39,930 --> 00:11:44,930
So definitely not, you know not
feeling good about Nick being
201
00:11:45,050 --> 00:11:49,850
out, but I think that the pieces
that we have, we have some some
202
00:11:49,850 --> 00:11:53,570
variation there.
So you got anything on this one,
203
00:11:53,570 --> 00:11:55,690
Sheldon?
I know this is this is what's as
204
00:11:55,690 --> 00:11:57,610
we've heard for a couple weeks
about his knee.
205
00:11:57,610 --> 00:12:02,640
And obviously you know you don't
want to scream it out until you
206
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:08,280
know it's confirmed.
Yeah, I mean I wasn't for gal.
207
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:09,880
I wasn't huge fan of him as a
blocker.
208
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:11,120
You know he didn't great out
very well.
209
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,640
Obviously the leadership
experience is important and the
210
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,160
the veteran leadership and all
that stuff is important because
211
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,640
you know you're talking about
Gosnell and and a one right who
212
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,640
are pretty pretty young players.
So we'll see that all that plays
213
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,280
out.
I mean the one thing I thought
214
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,710
was interesting.
I'm trying to pull up the snap
215
00:12:29,710 --> 00:12:34,990
count from the Old Dominion game
as we speak, if I can get it.
216
00:12:34,990 --> 00:12:38,710
But you know, Dick on, right?
Actually didn't play very much
217
00:12:38,750 --> 00:12:41,750
against against Old Dominion and
he had a couple.
218
00:12:41,750 --> 00:12:43,670
He had at least a one drop that
I saw maybe 2.
219
00:12:44,030 --> 00:12:45,230
So I don't know what's going on
with him.
220
00:12:45,230 --> 00:12:46,870
Honestly.
I think guys know I like his,
221
00:12:46,950 --> 00:12:49,910
you know, physicality.
I like his just his motor and
222
00:12:49,910 --> 00:12:52,430
his athleticism and he's gonna
be a big piece.
223
00:12:52,430 --> 00:12:53,590
We'll see what happens with,
right.
224
00:12:53,590 --> 00:12:57,080
Maybe as a yips sophomore slump.
I don't know, but he just, he
225
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,040
didn't look quite right in that
first game, so I think it's
226
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,520
going to be Gosnell and sending.
Yeah, I know Wright's been
227
00:13:02,560 --> 00:13:04,680
battling some injuries.
I don't know exactly what
228
00:13:04,680 --> 00:13:07,720
injuries he's been battling, but
we've heard about him battling
229
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,240
injuries and missing practices
and things like that.
230
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,480
I mean, maybe a little bit down
the line, but I'm also going to
231
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,560
be excited to see Zeke Winbush,
see what they can get out of
232
00:13:18,560 --> 00:13:21,800
him.
He was very dynamic in high
233
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,990
school, just.
I think he played against
234
00:13:23,990 --> 00:13:27,750
Highland Springs in one game and
he was, if not the best player
235
00:13:27,750 --> 00:13:28,550
on the field.
He was.
236
00:13:28,590 --> 00:13:32,110
He was close to it.
He was a dynamic player that was
237
00:13:32,110 --> 00:13:33,590
a lot of good players on that
field.
238
00:13:33,590 --> 00:13:38,470
So I'd like to see what he does
at tight end, maybe about a year
239
00:13:38,470 --> 00:13:39,830
away.
He may get a little bit of time
240
00:13:39,830 --> 00:13:41,830
this year, but I like to see
what he's got.
241
00:13:42,310 --> 00:13:45,150
Yeah man, I know the staff feels
good about him, so it's just
242
00:13:45,150 --> 00:13:48,990
going to be a matter of getting
him into the rotation at some
243
00:13:48,990 --> 00:13:51,390
point as we go along through the
season to get him some
244
00:13:51,990 --> 00:13:55,780
meaningful.
Plays and snaps this season,
245
00:13:56,740 --> 00:13:59,660
hopefully maybe to maintain that
red shirt and carry that on to
246
00:13:59,660 --> 00:14:02,500
the next year and have him kind
of take the next step.
247
00:14:03,140 --> 00:14:05,780
It is one of those things that
since it likely happened in the
248
00:14:05,780 --> 00:14:08,780
preseason, something that we
have been preparing for
249
00:14:08,780 --> 00:14:12,860
adjusting to versus 44 games in.
If Gallo had been doing a good
250
00:14:12,860 --> 00:14:16,620
job of solidly blocking, not
blocking it out of the water,
251
00:14:16,820 --> 00:14:19,900
catching some passes, then you
have to really adjust quickly.
252
00:14:19,900 --> 00:14:23,060
Where you saw we saw De Quan.
You did mention Shell, he did
253
00:14:23,060 --> 00:14:26,300
drop a pass, but he did catch a
nice little little dig route up
254
00:14:26,300 --> 00:14:28,100
in the middle of the field for
first down.
255
00:14:28,340 --> 00:14:31,100
We saw Benji on that seam route.
Brian screamed to me as we were
256
00:14:31,100 --> 00:14:34,060
watching it to play from the
spring game Right there up the
257
00:14:34,060 --> 00:14:37,540
seam, which was awesome to see.
Real quick.
258
00:14:37,700 --> 00:14:41,040
Tally saw a comment that some I
made out here and he wants to
259
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,080
address it.
So this is going to be tally
260
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,760
space-time before we get into
what we want to talk about.
261
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,240
So I'm going to pull it up here.
Tally, I'm going to let you read
262
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,640
it is from one of our listeners,
Cucked this, so go ahead.
263
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,240
Yeah he was in here early man
and he was in here early putting
264
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,320
stuff in.
So just wanted to address I seen
265
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,680
because again thank y'all
everybody was listening.
266
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,960
We we definitely appreciate
y'all like.
267
00:15:04,340 --> 00:15:06,020
Follow, share, all of that good
stuff.
268
00:15:06,580 --> 00:15:08,740
But what he says here is he
said, Hey, what's up fellas?
269
00:15:09,020 --> 00:15:10,740
Virginia Tech really drives me
crazy.
270
00:15:11,380 --> 00:15:13,700
I'm going to be honest.
Pride has the personality
271
00:15:13,700 --> 00:15:18,140
mannerisms to be Tech coach, but
he just doesn't understand
272
00:15:18,140 --> 00:15:22,660
running a Power 5 program.
Our players small, all of the
273
00:15:22,660 --> 00:15:25,060
whole statement, you can say
what you want.
274
00:15:25,300 --> 00:15:29,140
But that last piece where it
says our players small, if you
275
00:15:29,140 --> 00:15:31,540
think our players are small now
because of pride.
276
00:15:32,300 --> 00:15:36,100
Where have you been the last 10
years, four years, five years?
277
00:15:36,460 --> 00:15:40,660
We were running out five foot 10
defensive ends.
278
00:15:41,540 --> 00:15:45,500
No disrespect to any of those
guys that we had, but we are
279
00:15:45,500 --> 00:15:47,340
much bigger than we were in the
past.
280
00:15:47,740 --> 00:15:50,700
Not saying that this team is
going to be anything.
281
00:15:50,700 --> 00:15:53,460
I don't know what we're going to
be, what we're not going to be.
282
00:15:53,460 --> 00:15:56,020
I just wanted to address the Our
players are small.
283
00:15:56,340 --> 00:15:58,140
I've been screaming this for
years.
284
00:15:58,700 --> 00:16:00,540
And one thing, so I pay
attention to that.
285
00:16:00,540 --> 00:16:04,460
So I wanted to bring that up
with our players being small.
286
00:16:04,460 --> 00:16:07,660
Some of it's just what we have,
Some of it's we don't have to
287
00:16:07,660 --> 00:16:11,420
get in the weight room, But some
of it is just if you go look at
288
00:16:11,420 --> 00:16:14,980
the players that they're
recruiting, linebackers, DNS,
289
00:16:15,460 --> 00:16:19,290
defensive tackles.
They are safeties are much
290
00:16:19,290 --> 00:16:20,930
bigger than they have been in
the past.
291
00:16:20,930 --> 00:16:24,090
So I think prize got that going
in the right direction with the
292
00:16:24,090 --> 00:16:27,370
players being small thing and
then another thing, some of our
293
00:16:27,370 --> 00:16:31,090
players that played are freshmen
like they are.
294
00:16:31,090 --> 00:16:33,850
This is their first, they're
just now getting on campus for
295
00:16:33,850 --> 00:16:38,010
the most part.
So they're not even to their
296
00:16:38,010 --> 00:16:41,810
peak, but where they will be so.
I think the progress that he's
297
00:16:41,810 --> 00:16:44,970
making is good and I hope we
continue to move forward.
298
00:16:44,970 --> 00:16:47,650
It's going to be a big week so
we can see what we got the test
299
00:16:47,650 --> 00:16:52,050
for us, absolutely we are and
we'll say good evening to Levar
300
00:16:52,250 --> 00:16:54,850
says good night, good evening.
And yeah, it is a work in
301
00:16:54,850 --> 00:16:57,850
progress and it has to be given
some time because you can't
302
00:16:57,850 --> 00:17:00,570
expect the coach to come right
in and what he's given
303
00:17:00,570 --> 00:17:04,130
immediately make 6 foot guys
turn into 6 foot three guys and
304
00:17:04,130 --> 00:17:08,540
220 pound guys to be 260 pound
guys doesn't happen overnight.
305
00:17:08,540 --> 00:17:11,420
So I definitely get that.
All right, So told y'all, we got
306
00:17:11,420 --> 00:17:14,260
a new segment and we're going to
be doing this after every game
307
00:17:14,260 --> 00:17:17,540
and it's something our buddy
coach Robbie Compton and his
308
00:17:17,540 --> 00:17:19,940
team sits down and do every
Monday.
309
00:17:20,619 --> 00:17:24,900
And what they, what we call it
is, we're going to call it is
310
00:17:24,900 --> 00:17:28,660
tell the truth Tuesday.
So tell the truth and what we're
311
00:17:28,660 --> 00:17:30,580
going to be looking for, We're
going to be talking about what
312
00:17:30,580 --> 00:17:37,590
went well in the game, what went
bad, what is something that we
313
00:17:37,590 --> 00:17:39,430
did not prepare for.
And I'm going to just put that
314
00:17:39,430 --> 00:17:42,190
on two things.
We as fans didn't prepare to see
315
00:17:42,190 --> 00:17:45,990
it and where we feel like our
coaching staff didn't prepare to
316
00:17:45,990 --> 00:17:48,190
see it.
And then finally, what can we do
317
00:17:48,190 --> 00:17:51,150
better moving forward?
So you're going, we're going to
318
00:17:51,150 --> 00:17:54,310
do this every Tuesday.
And by all means, if you've got
319
00:17:54,310 --> 00:17:57,640
something that went well as
we're talking about it bad, not
320
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,920
prepared for, or what we got to
do better, move forward, put it
321
00:17:59,920 --> 00:18:01,920
in the chat.
We'd love to hear from you, but
322
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,840
let's start with what went well
and me and Brian sitting on the
323
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:09,240
couch sipping some whiskey on
Saturday night, we actually had
324
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:14,040
an identity on offense.
Say what you want to say, we had
325
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:18,920
an identity on offense.
And the first thing I'll say I
326
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:23,160
noticed was is that the same
tile of bowing in the booth
327
00:18:24,290 --> 00:18:26,970
because those play calls did not
look the same as last year.
328
00:18:26,970 --> 00:18:29,690
What do y'all think?
I mean, yeah, it's a lot, lot
329
00:18:29,690 --> 00:18:31,810
more zone heavy in the running
game.
330
00:18:31,810 --> 00:18:35,490
But from a passing game
perspective, we weren't as
331
00:18:35,490 --> 00:18:40,370
hesitant to throw over the
middle of the field intermediate
332
00:18:40,370 --> 00:18:43,330
routes.
There was, you know, a little
333
00:18:43,330 --> 00:18:45,690
more RPO mixed in there than
what we saw last year.
334
00:18:45,690 --> 00:18:49,050
So it's kind of kind of what we
expected, what we've talked
335
00:18:49,050 --> 00:18:51,690
about a lot, but it's nice to
see some of that play out.
336
00:18:52,210 --> 00:18:56,010
Actually in a live game and not
just hypothetically and not just
337
00:18:56,010 --> 00:19:00,410
in a scrimmage that you watched
or or spring game, so good
338
00:19:00,410 --> 00:19:03,810
seeing the offense kind of take
those steps forward and you know
339
00:19:03,930 --> 00:19:06,690
looks like we we can sling it
around a little bit.
340
00:19:06,690 --> 00:19:10,970
So those playmakers are helping.
Yeah, definitely, definitely
341
00:19:10,970 --> 00:19:14,530
glad that Allergenics man.
Golly.
342
00:19:14,610 --> 00:19:17,850
I mean, he's just explosive,
man.
343
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,200
Besides being on the field, if
you watch like the postgame
344
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:27,240
stuff, like if you've seen how
many of his family he had there,
345
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,320
that's why you recruit people to
come to.
346
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,240
That's why you want Virginia
players to be at Virginia Tech.
347
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:37,000
Like, I don't know how many
tickets his family network after
348
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,240
the game.
He had like 40 people up there.
349
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,080
Yeah man.
And it's like if they can fill a
350
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,560
section by themselves, man, It's
going to be easy to sell the
351
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,840
games out.
But talking about play calling.
352
00:19:48,380 --> 00:19:50,140
Like you said, we did have an
identity.
353
00:19:50,140 --> 00:19:52,860
No matter if we liked the
identity or not, if he was
354
00:19:52,860 --> 00:19:55,620
watching the game, there was an
identity there.
355
00:19:56,100 --> 00:19:59,660
I wish they would have got away
from it sometimes myself because
356
00:20:00,220 --> 00:20:04,300
we were missing stuff or you
know we just didn't find the
357
00:20:04,300 --> 00:20:06,060
holes.
If the we didn't find the open
358
00:20:06,060 --> 00:20:08,180
receiver, if he was there,
different things like that.
359
00:20:08,540 --> 00:20:11,260
But besides that, I mean, we
seen the two, we seen 2
360
00:20:11,260 --> 00:20:14,020
quarterbacks play.
May not have been as much or as
361
00:20:14,020 --> 00:20:17,450
little as some people like, but.
You know, they talked about it
362
00:20:17,490 --> 00:20:19,970
and we've seen both quarterbacks
get in the game.
363
00:20:19,970 --> 00:20:26,490
So I was very, you know,
enthused by what I see when
364
00:20:26,490 --> 00:20:28,330
you're when it's going on,
you're sitting on pins and
365
00:20:28,330 --> 00:20:30,490
needles.
But you know, at the end of the
366
00:20:30,490 --> 00:20:36,370
game, 3617 game, I said 14
points, we win by 19, I'll take
367
00:20:36,370 --> 00:20:38,950
it.
I will take it all day and
368
00:20:38,950 --> 00:20:40,950
tomorrow.
We covered.
369
00:20:41,110 --> 00:20:43,270
She'll know about you, man.
What do you feel about the play
370
00:20:43,270 --> 00:20:44,790
calling?
And I'm I'm sure there's other
371
00:20:44,790 --> 00:20:47,070
things that you always talk
about you saw more of.
372
00:20:48,030 --> 00:20:50,270
Yeah, I thought the, I thought
the the passing concepts were
373
00:20:50,270 --> 00:20:52,790
fantastic.
I mean they got the bottom space
374
00:20:52,790 --> 00:20:55,190
out to the perimeter.
They got wells on some rollouts
375
00:20:55,750 --> 00:20:58,630
where, you know, tech playmakers
could make plays.
376
00:20:59,190 --> 00:21:00,870
I thought the rockcomers were
good.
377
00:21:01,030 --> 00:21:04,950
I love that you mentioned that.
That fake screen pass that
378
00:21:04,950 --> 00:21:08,030
seemed right up the middle with
Gosnell was fantastic and they
379
00:21:08,030 --> 00:21:11,310
actually they use a screen pass
as earlier in the game to set up
380
00:21:11,310 --> 00:21:13,670
a play like that So we can talk
about you know situational play
381
00:21:13,670 --> 00:21:15,790
calling.
You want to use plays to set up
382
00:21:15,790 --> 00:21:17,110
plays later in the game.
They did that.
383
00:21:17,390 --> 00:21:19,270
I thought they had good route
combos.
384
00:21:19,750 --> 00:21:22,430
They they ran option routes that
attacked the leverage of the
385
00:21:22,430 --> 00:21:25,550
defensive acts, like that first
touch on pass at Jennings where
386
00:21:25,950 --> 00:21:28,870
I think he ran a corner routes
to the back corner in the end
387
00:21:28,870 --> 00:21:32,020
zone.
Yeah, and I just, I thought it
388
00:21:32,020 --> 00:21:33,700
was really good.
I mean the the passing team was
389
00:21:33,700 --> 00:21:34,660
good.
Like you said, they went over
390
00:21:34,660 --> 00:21:38,180
the middle, which Bowen's
predecessor certainly did not do
391
00:21:38,300 --> 00:21:40,380
any of.
I thought it was really good
392
00:21:40,380 --> 00:21:42,740
overall.
Yeah, any, I mean.
393
00:21:44,100 --> 00:21:46,220
Any and it was, it was multiple
concepts.
394
00:21:46,220 --> 00:21:48,420
You call crossers.
You called, you saw some drags,
395
00:21:48,420 --> 00:21:51,340
you saw again that right dig to
the middle of the field.
396
00:21:51,820 --> 00:21:55,700
That is very awkward, to see a
tight end get up the seam and
397
00:21:55,700 --> 00:21:59,080
then just stop, come back.
Grant Wells almost took the
398
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,440
umpire's head off like that
dude.
399
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,120
By the way, quick reaction time
of that umpire to get out of the
400
00:22:05,120 --> 00:22:07,800
way.
But something else I want to
401
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,520
say, and there's a couple
comments in here.
402
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,280
We'll throw them up in just a
second about what went well.
403
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:16,520
Give Grant Wells, dude, he was
not perfect and when he came out
404
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:20,640
he was jacked to the sky.
Somebody helped that boy calm
405
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,800
down before in the first quarter
of a game because.
406
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,800
He had the crazy eyes, man.
He had the crazy eyes and he was
407
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:27,080
missing.
Just missing.
408
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,840
And I go back and look, if he's
not his amp, Tune's probably a
409
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:32,320
touchdown.
We probably get another first
410
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,320
down.
The game might have been really
411
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,960
more indicative of how it
looked.
412
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,800
But tally, give, give your man
some props.
413
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,600
Because Tally, yeah, everybody
knows, man.
414
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:50,320
I'm very critical of any
quarterback, but definitely
415
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:51,880
Grant Wells, because I've
watched him.
416
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:54,800
But when?
When I just said no turnovers,
417
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,570
man, I said no unforced
turnovers and he didn't have
418
00:22:58,570 --> 00:23:01,050
any.
You know, he protected the ball.
419
00:23:01,370 --> 00:23:03,970
The line protected him.
I don't think they had a sack.
420
00:23:04,490 --> 00:23:07,450
You know, as bad as people
talking about our line is, and
421
00:23:07,970 --> 00:23:09,170
we didn't do this.
We didn't.
422
00:23:09,170 --> 00:23:11,970
We didn't give up a sack.
Well, ODU wasn't good.
423
00:23:11,970 --> 00:23:14,170
I don't fucking care if we play
in the school of the blind.
424
00:23:14,610 --> 00:23:17,650
If they ain't having
quarterback, then that's good.
425
00:23:18,090 --> 00:23:20,570
Had no sacks.
He had no touched.
426
00:23:20,610 --> 00:23:24,450
I mean, no turnovers.
Had no interceptions.
427
00:23:24,570 --> 00:23:28,710
Hey, I'm good and like I said,
it's a victory because last year
428
00:23:28,710 --> 00:23:31,830
was not a victory and we had
four interceptions.
429
00:23:32,110 --> 00:23:34,630
So that's progress to me.
I'll take.
430
00:23:36,790 --> 00:23:39,150
It good point by Cobbs here
talking about minimizing
431
00:23:39,150 --> 00:23:41,070
penalties and winning the
turnover battle.
432
00:23:41,310 --> 00:23:42,950
We didn't do that a whole lot
last year.
433
00:23:44,030 --> 00:23:47,870
We had and usually we'd either
have one, the other or both.
434
00:23:48,110 --> 00:23:51,910
And we had both against ODU last
year where we had a bunch of
435
00:23:51,910 --> 00:23:54,350
penalties, we had a bunch of
turnovers.
436
00:23:54,940 --> 00:23:58,300
Completely flip the flip the the
script on that this year, so
437
00:23:58,700 --> 00:24:06,140
excited to see that and just I
think overall seeing Grant
438
00:24:06,140 --> 00:24:10,940
finally settle in and and and
have he put 33 good quarters
439
00:24:10,940 --> 00:24:13,140
together that that first quarter
a little shaky.
440
00:24:13,140 --> 00:24:16,780
I think sometimes you know I
think even you know the drone
441
00:24:16,780 --> 00:24:19,780
swap in there kind of threw his
his rhythm off a little bit too.
442
00:24:19,780 --> 00:24:21,740
So yeah, it seemed a little
forced to me.
443
00:24:22,310 --> 00:24:24,910
Yeah, yeah.
And we'll talk about that.
444
00:24:24,910 --> 00:24:28,430
But as far as like what went
well, I mean, you said that pass
445
00:24:28,430 --> 00:24:32,870
Pro was good.
Grant had a really good pocket
446
00:24:33,030 --> 00:24:36,150
most of the night.
Is that the best pocket he's
447
00:24:36,150 --> 00:24:37,910
ever had as a coach?
He's QB.
448
00:24:38,750 --> 00:24:41,430
I mean, yeah.
Statistically, yes.
449
00:24:42,310 --> 00:24:44,950
From what?
From what we've been watching,
450
00:24:44,950 --> 00:24:48,550
yes, statistically.
Yes, go ahead.
451
00:24:49,010 --> 00:24:53,490
They allowed two quarterback
Currys the entire game, fewest
452
00:24:53,490 --> 00:24:58,290
since Duke in 2021.
And he draw back what, like 37?
453
00:24:58,290 --> 00:25:01,450
30 times, Yeah, 30 times, yeah.
So that's like, I mean, I don't
454
00:25:01,450 --> 00:25:03,850
know what wonder what that's
like 8%, That's nothing.
455
00:25:04,610 --> 00:25:08,250
Yeah, that's pretty.
Tell me 8%, I would advise
456
00:25:08,490 --> 00:25:12,890
everybody who is a hokey fan who
is like me, very critical of
457
00:25:12,890 --> 00:25:15,650
everything that goes on on the
team and you get some free time,
458
00:25:16,710 --> 00:25:20,390
go back and rewatch the games
and watch the lines, because I
459
00:25:20,390 --> 00:25:24,070
know it's so hard because the
camera's going where the ball
460
00:25:24,070 --> 00:25:25,390
is.
But if you can just watch the
461
00:25:25,390 --> 00:25:30,110
line and go back and watch last
year's line, even if you just go
462
00:25:30,110 --> 00:25:32,590
watch ODU, just go watch the ODU
game.
463
00:25:32,910 --> 00:25:36,230
That game for this game, it it
is, it's different.
464
00:25:36,350 --> 00:25:38,830
You know we can talk about,
well, it's just ODU.
465
00:25:39,120 --> 00:25:41,000
It was just ODU last year and we
lost.
466
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,600
Great job by the line just to
protect the man, Great job by
467
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,560
the fans, man.
The fans got two points in
468
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,480
there, you know, y'all yelling
and screaming and jumping.
469
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,440
Had him snapping the ball 50
feet over his fucking head.
470
00:25:54,720 --> 00:26:01,720
So yeah, I asked the question on
Twitter, like maybe a week
471
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,640
before the season of who would
score the first points and
472
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,240
nobody say it.
Fans.
473
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,600
That was who scored the first
points, The fans.
474
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:14,840
And it was loud in that man.
It was loud and I tell you what
475
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,880
one reason it continued to stay
loud was not only scoring points
476
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,120
moving the ball.
We talked about it last week go
477
00:26:22,120 --> 00:26:27,120
hit the quarterback Brian we put
pressure on them all night and
478
00:26:27,120 --> 00:26:29,440
and she'll not let you start
pulling the data but Brian just
479
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,760
watching just the the line all
night push.
480
00:26:34,940 --> 00:26:36,900
Yeah, I mean talk about a PR
man.
481
00:26:36,900 --> 00:26:41,180
He was coming off the edge hot
every snap, Every time there was
482
00:26:41,180 --> 00:26:45,140
a drop back, he was coming off
the edge hot. 5 sacks compared
483
00:26:45,140 --> 00:26:48,820
to one last year, four other
tackles for loss.
484
00:26:48,820 --> 00:26:51,220
I mean that that's that's solid
across the board.
485
00:26:52,340 --> 00:26:56,860
You know, a PR good start to his
potential ten sack campaign this
486
00:26:56,860 --> 00:26:59,740
year.
Already A2.
487
00:27:00,020 --> 00:27:02,420
Yeah, already A2, already A2.
That's a.
488
00:27:02,500 --> 00:27:07,480
That's a good start, Game one.
Yeah, I mean I think the the
489
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,760
pressure we've got a pass rush
now.
490
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,040
Having a pass rush makes the
rest of the defense a lot
491
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,560
easier.
So if we if we can keep that up
492
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:20,800
against as the competition you
know slowly ratchets up as we go
493
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:24,040
through September here, it's
going to be interesting to see
494
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,240
if we can maintain that, but
good start at the gate.
495
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:32,800
What about your BMF tally?
First, second of you, Burgos,
496
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,000
you know, yeah, you're looking
around, man, and you see people
497
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:37,600
around the quarterback just get
there.
498
00:27:38,120 --> 00:27:40,560
You know, you see you.
We had a couple of different
499
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:41,800
people getting to the
quarterback.
500
00:27:42,120 --> 00:27:44,600
And Burgos is a young guy.
I think he's a sophomore.
501
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:49,400
You know he is.
Shoot, he's, he's come in and
502
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,240
stole some, stole some playing
time.
503
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,960
He's starting.
You know, I would have never
504
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:55,680
said Burgos was going to be the
starter.
505
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,200
And he goes in, he's got the
first sack of the year.
506
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:03,880
I think Penne got him a sack.
CJ McCray comes off the bench,
507
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:08,040
he gets his sack.
Like games like that just build
508
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,560
some confidence, you know, and
it makes the other team have the
509
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,040
game plan.
That's a couple of things that
510
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,480
we didn't have in the past
years.
511
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,320
We didn't have people game
planning for certain linemen.
512
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,800
We didn't have people game
planning for more than one
513
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:28,040
offensive playmaker.
So excited about that. 100% and
514
00:28:28,360 --> 00:28:31,720
and you saw it all night, it was
all areas of the line.
515
00:28:32,150 --> 00:28:34,630
That we're creating the pressure
and it was when the backups came
516
00:28:34,630 --> 00:28:37,670
in, like you said, McCray got a
sack and they got a sack.
517
00:28:38,270 --> 00:28:40,790
Sheldon, were you able to pull
up anything about how much
518
00:28:40,790 --> 00:28:43,350
pressures we got throughout the
night versus ODU?
519
00:28:44,430 --> 00:28:46,510
Yes, I'm trying to, Yeah.
Yeah.
520
00:28:46,510 --> 00:28:49,910
So I got it here.
So we had 16 total pressures,
521
00:28:50,150 --> 00:28:53,830
which includes 5 sacks and 11
quarterback hurries.
522
00:28:53,870 --> 00:28:55,630
Good.
So I don't.
523
00:28:55,630 --> 00:28:58,230
Know they only draw back like 25
times.
524
00:28:58,710 --> 00:28:59,990
Probably something like that,
yeah.
525
00:29:00,750 --> 00:29:04,240
I mean obviously.
Apr was just a stud and like he,
526
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,560
I mean he can do the bull rush.
I mean he'll just he'll just
527
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,520
dominate you.
So I'm really I'm really excited
528
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,760
about him and CG McRae I I
thought I was gonna play more
529
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:14,160
than he did.
He only played him full of
530
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,200
snaps, probably only got like.
Six, yeah, I was looking at that
531
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,440
too show and that threw me off a
little bit because I mean he
532
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,120
looks good when he gets in.
So I I don't know.
533
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,480
I'm, I don't know about that.
I think he may be one of those
534
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,490
light players.
You know, lights turn on and he
535
00:29:30,570 --> 00:29:32,530
he, he shows up.
Yep.
536
00:29:32,850 --> 00:29:37,530
And so if the the number Shelton
just gave, they drop back 25
537
00:29:37,530 --> 00:29:43,330
times, that's a 64% that we were
getting hurries and then
538
00:29:43,330 --> 00:29:48,450
finishing on 30% of those.
If you tell me those are the
539
00:29:48,450 --> 00:29:53,520
numbers all year, write it down.
I wouldn't back away from that
540
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,040
because that's some crazy
numbers and I know they're going
541
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:57,360
their things are going to level
out.
542
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:01,080
But just that start tally and
Brian, I'm going to let y'all
543
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:02,920
just talk about this before we
go to.
544
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,120
Unfortunately we got to say that
what didn't go well, how much
545
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:09,880
confidence do y'all think now
those young players have and
546
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,760
those guys who didn't
experience, you know, wins last
547
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:15,720
year, first time we scored 30
points.
548
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,960
Since.
Oh God, it's been well over 2
549
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:21,000
years.
You got on Twitter.
550
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,990
People was pissed.
We was all pissed.
551
00:30:24,550 --> 00:30:26,870
Everybody was on there.
Oh, he should have scored more.
552
00:30:27,150 --> 00:30:30,350
Oh, this is we look horrible.
Oh, such and such is better.
553
00:30:30,350 --> 00:30:36,070
Every game is related to
Virginia Tech in hokey Twitter's
554
00:30:36,070 --> 00:30:37,590
eyes.
I understand.
555
00:30:38,070 --> 00:30:41,510
We got to take a breath, man.
If we get a win, we get a loss.
556
00:30:41,510 --> 00:30:44,260
I'm going to be on that edge
with you, but we could win and
557
00:30:44,300 --> 00:30:50,020
we win by 1.3 stores.
I got to slow myself down man,
558
00:30:50,020 --> 00:30:53,140
because I again, I go back and
I'm y'all are going to get tired
559
00:30:53,140 --> 00:30:55,060
of me saying it.
But this is what I think.
560
00:30:55,620 --> 00:30:58,820
You lose by a lot, then you lose
by a little, you win by a
561
00:30:58,820 --> 00:31:01,580
little, then you win by a lot.
If this is the year that we're
562
00:31:01,580 --> 00:31:05,540
winning by a little and we start
off with a 19 point win, I'll
563
00:31:05,540 --> 00:31:07,580
take it.
I will take it.
564
00:31:07,980 --> 00:31:09,890
Yeah.
I'm right there with you.
565
00:31:09,890 --> 00:31:13,690
I think this is a a good start
for the confidence of this young
566
00:31:13,690 --> 00:31:17,450
team, which I mean they are
young in a lot of places that
567
00:31:17,450 --> 00:31:23,610
matter, you know, offensive
line, linebacker, secondary.
568
00:31:24,210 --> 00:31:26,930
You know, we're we're young in a
lot of places, but we've Got
569
00:31:27,450 --> 00:31:31,010
Talent to go with that this
year, whereas last year it was
570
00:31:31,010 --> 00:31:34,970
mostly just just a lot of youth
and.
571
00:31:35,650 --> 00:31:38,210
And and and and or or sixyear
guys that.
572
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,520
Didn't see at the field a ton
those previous five years.
573
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:46,440
So it's good to kind of flip
that around a little bit and get
574
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:50,080
some confidence early because I
feel like we can kind of carry
575
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:53,600
that momentum here into Purdue,
get get home again the very next
576
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,560
week.
If you can start stacking a
577
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,800
couple there together, that'll
give you some confidence as you
578
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:01,320
head on the road back-to-back
weeks against Rutgers and
579
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,370
Marshall.
And and hopefully carry through
580
00:32:04,370 --> 00:32:07,010
September and have a have a have
a good September if you know
581
00:32:07,210 --> 00:32:08,690
finish.
Been a long time.
582
00:32:08,890 --> 00:32:11,730
It'd be nice to finish 401.
We had a good, so five or five
583
00:32:11,730 --> 00:32:13,970
and oh in September.
But you know, I don't want to
584
00:32:13,970 --> 00:32:16,090
get ahead of myself, let's let's
look at Purdue first.
585
00:32:16,090 --> 00:32:18,490
But carrying that confidence
into Purdue is important.
586
00:32:18,690 --> 00:32:20,770
Yes, it is.
Now let's just be real.
587
00:32:20,770 --> 00:32:23,290
Not everything was sunshine and
roses Saturday night.
588
00:32:23,290 --> 00:32:25,090
We know it and we'll talk about
it.
589
00:32:25,090 --> 00:32:27,250
And this is where we go.
To tell the truth.
590
00:32:27,250 --> 00:32:30,290
Tuesday, what went bad.
And I think you know.
591
00:32:31,060 --> 00:32:33,060
And y'all can, we've already hit
on this a little bit.
592
00:32:33,060 --> 00:32:35,580
That first quarter was kind of
shaky, getting the cobwebs off
593
00:32:35,580 --> 00:32:39,700
and getting the rust off.
I think what was more important
594
00:32:39,700 --> 00:32:43,260
though is what happened in the
second quarter, They did shake
595
00:32:43,260 --> 00:32:44,660
it off.
So it was bad.
596
00:32:44,660 --> 00:32:47,860
You started slow.
I don't think we can start slow
597
00:32:48,020 --> 00:32:51,420
in the next three weeks,
especially in the next three
598
00:32:51,420 --> 00:32:53,020
weeks.
We cannot have the slow start
599
00:32:53,020 --> 00:32:55,620
like that or we will be playing
from behind.
600
00:32:55,900 --> 00:32:58,380
But as much as that was
something.
601
00:32:58,950 --> 00:33:01,710
Brian, I know you watched the
tape and you were screaming all
602
00:33:01,710 --> 00:33:05,870
night about linebacker fits in
in containment, so the floor is
603
00:33:05,870 --> 00:33:09,630
yours.
Yeah, backside contain was not
604
00:33:09,630 --> 00:33:13,510
very good.
We ended up letting quarterbacks
605
00:33:13,510 --> 00:33:15,230
sneak out, get leaky in the
backfield.
606
00:33:15,230 --> 00:33:19,310
We had a couple runs that were
cutbacks.
607
00:33:19,430 --> 00:33:22,470
One in particular was cut all
the way across the field.
608
00:33:23,820 --> 00:33:26,980
All the way across the whole dam
field they were they were trying
609
00:33:26,980 --> 00:33:28,900
to set up a double pass.
Next thing you know they still
610
00:33:28,900 --> 00:33:30,780
got the first down on the other
side of the field.
611
00:33:32,740 --> 00:33:35,660
You got, you got to make sure
when you're pursuing that you're
612
00:33:35,660 --> 00:33:41,620
pursuing with contain leverage
because eventually that's going
613
00:33:41,620 --> 00:33:44,860
to come and bite you in the ass
and linebacker fits.
614
00:33:44,860 --> 00:33:48,740
You know some of that had to do
with ODU that that ultra spread
615
00:33:48,740 --> 00:33:51,100
they had those stacked receivers
in that ultra spread.
616
00:33:51,100 --> 00:33:53,100
They had everybody kind of
outside the numbers.
617
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,760
That spreads you out.
We I don't think we did a good
618
00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:01,400
job of adjusting to that quick
enough but the the fits in
619
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:06,800
general were were inconsistent.
I think we had a we had you guys
620
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,320
kind of not where they needed to
be on a handful of plays.
621
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,520
We saw guys start to over
pursue.
622
00:34:13,159 --> 00:34:16,520
Once the running back had some
kind of a couple Gasher runs
623
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:20,040
they started over keying on the
running back over pursuing the
624
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:21,960
play.
That set up some big runs for
625
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:22,960
the quarterback.
So.
626
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,760
Got to clean that up.
But definitely a fixable thing.
627
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:30,280
But definitely one of the from a
defensive standpoint, the kind
628
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,480
of the biggest blemish to take
away from ODU.
629
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,600
Yeah, yeah, we had some like
pretty much like you said
630
00:34:39,159 --> 00:34:42,679
Brian's talking about the the
linebacker fits and things like
631
00:34:42,679 --> 00:34:44,800
that.
It's even on some of those plays
632
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:46,440
where we got pressure on the
quarterback.
633
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:50,280
He escaped and you know made a
run out of it and you know, may
634
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,260
have got a first down or got 7-8
yards.
635
00:34:54,580 --> 00:34:56,780
We got to do a better job.
But when we're fitting those
636
00:34:56,780 --> 00:35:00,460
holes, you know, keeping that
outside arm free so we can be in
637
00:35:00,460 --> 00:35:03,860
those running lanes to try to
slow them down or rip the ball
638
00:35:03,860 --> 00:35:06,460
out of something.
And I think a lot of new people
639
00:35:06,460 --> 00:35:10,780
at new places are just going to
have to learn that on the fly.
640
00:35:11,180 --> 00:35:13,460
You know, it sucks that that's
what college, that's what
641
00:35:13,460 --> 00:35:17,460
football is.
But we we got, we got to do a
642
00:35:17,460 --> 00:35:21,280
better job of when we do get
pressure and pressures all
643
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,800
around that quarterback, we
definitely don't need him to
644
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:25,640
burst out of there and get 10
yards.
645
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:29,720
So fitting and containing and
things like that, we got to do a
646
00:35:29,720 --> 00:35:32,640
much better job at.
Because that that wasn't good.
647
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:36,800
Sheldon hit us up real quick.
What were the linebacker?
648
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,000
You have the linebackers grades
up there.
649
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,480
I do, yes.
Basically, just to give you this
650
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:47,200
skinny Lawson was pretty bad.
Keller was pretty bad.
651
00:35:48,290 --> 00:35:51,610
Trying to look around here for
guys who got at least a handful
652
00:35:51,610 --> 00:35:53,530
of steps.
Tisdale was OK, but he was not
653
00:35:53,530 --> 00:35:58,290
great on in the run fits.
So yeah that's kind of, that's
654
00:35:58,290 --> 00:36:00,010
kind of was.
And then CJ McRae was a little
655
00:36:00,010 --> 00:36:01,690
bit better, but didn't he didn't
play very much.
656
00:36:02,210 --> 00:36:04,530
And then Will Johnson, they had
him a little bit better, which I
657
00:36:04,530 --> 00:36:08,090
thought was surprising because I
thought he made a couple for
658
00:36:08,170 --> 00:36:10,610
poor fits there as well.
So yeah and especially with the
659
00:36:10,610 --> 00:36:13,010
run defense it was not great.
So but that's, I mean that's
660
00:36:13,010 --> 00:36:14,330
kind of what we saw last year
too.
661
00:36:14,330 --> 00:36:15,610
Like these guys are still
growing.
662
00:36:16,150 --> 00:36:18,470
So you figure out at some point,
hopefully they can, you know,
663
00:36:18,510 --> 00:36:21,070
kind of start making those
mental mistakes.
664
00:36:21,710 --> 00:36:23,230
Yep.
And I think the big part of it,
665
00:36:23,230 --> 00:36:28,310
now that you say that is now all
those guys, because that really
666
00:36:28,310 --> 00:36:31,790
was the first time that those
guys were working together as a
667
00:36:31,790 --> 00:36:35,630
unit, right?
It's on tape, it's on tape.
668
00:36:35,630 --> 00:36:38,310
You can sit down.
I do have a feeling Coach Pride
669
00:36:38,310 --> 00:36:40,750
is going to be going into that
room quite a few times this
670
00:36:40,750 --> 00:36:42,900
week.
Have some conversations with
671
00:36:42,900 --> 00:36:44,900
people about what's been going
on.
672
00:36:45,620 --> 00:36:47,620
Couple other things.
We definitely talked about, you
673
00:36:47,620 --> 00:36:51,300
know, not being the best.
And again, what are some
674
00:36:51,580 --> 00:36:54,860
defensive coaching adjustments?
It felt like, especially on
675
00:36:54,860 --> 00:37:02,260
those runs, it took us about 3/4
to finally decide, OK, we're
676
00:37:02,260 --> 00:37:04,820
going to adjust to this now.
When we made the adjustment,
677
00:37:06,060 --> 00:37:08,860
them moving the ball was over
pretty much for the remainder of
678
00:37:08,860 --> 00:37:12,360
the game.
But Brian, this is Chris Moss
679
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:14,800
first time.
What do you think?
680
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,640
Do you think this was just
trying to go to the well one too
681
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:21,520
many times or was it trying to
get enough data to decide?
682
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:25,280
OK, we've got to adjust now.
So I'm going to take a little
683
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:29,080
bit of a hedge here.
I think Marv saw that he had
684
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:33,240
lost a key piece of his
secondary and knew the youth
685
00:37:33,240 --> 00:37:37,160
that was behind that and didn't
want to shift to what he needed
686
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:42,480
to shift to, which is.
Running a lot more man outside
687
00:37:42,720 --> 00:37:46,360
and committing a couple more
players into the box to keep the
688
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,920
the holes a little bit less
leaky and make being able to get
689
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:51,600
to those fits a little bit
easier.
690
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:55,640
But I think he was a little bit
of hesitant going to that.
691
00:37:55,640 --> 00:38:00,080
Like I said, you had Stroman out
once, he was out on that end of
692
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,360
the first half.
Maybe he was a little bit
693
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:06,160
hesitant of going to that on a
consistent basis.
694
00:38:07,330 --> 00:38:09,450
That's when they had you know
some success in the running game
695
00:38:09,450 --> 00:38:11,050
there.
So once he finally made the
696
00:38:11,050 --> 00:38:13,850
adjustment and you know the
clock was kind of against them
697
00:38:13,850 --> 00:38:15,890
and they had to go in more
passing, I mean we can just shut
698
00:38:15,890 --> 00:38:19,210
it down after that.
So if you can get there a little
699
00:38:19,210 --> 00:38:21,410
bit quicker that'd be nice.
And like I said, I don't know if
700
00:38:21,410 --> 00:38:26,610
the the reason is because of
those issues with targeting or
701
00:38:26,610 --> 00:38:28,930
or if it had something else to
do with just you know, not
702
00:38:28,930 --> 00:38:31,210
wanting to lean on the the
younger guys as quick.
703
00:38:32,410 --> 00:38:36,570
And some of it too was I think
pry hit on it in the like the
704
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:43,680
halftime presser halftime little
you know interview or whatever
705
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,520
that he had when he talked about
you know that we were sending
706
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:49,440
pressure and when you're sending
pressure you're leaving some
707
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,680
part of the field open, you
know, whether it's for them to
708
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,000
run a draw or them to run a pop
pass or something.
709
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,680
And he was like, hey I mean we
send a lot of pressure.
710
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,360
We might I might have to talk to
him about you know holding up a
711
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,840
little bit.
So that's I think that's Marv
712
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:07,210
just trying to he was trying to
make something happen and great
713
00:39:07,210 --> 00:39:09,410
job of getting pressured to the
quarterback when we got it.
714
00:39:09,410 --> 00:39:12,330
But every now and then we need
somebody to stay there and
715
00:39:12,330 --> 00:39:14,210
inspired.
We need to you know drop back
716
00:39:14,210 --> 00:39:15,530
and coverage and things like
that.
717
00:39:15,530 --> 00:39:19,370
So he's young and he's learning.
So I think, like you said,
718
00:39:19,370 --> 00:39:22,090
pride's going, he's probably
popping his head in that room a
719
00:39:22,090 --> 00:39:26,050
lot this week, especially with
who we're playing and what's
720
00:39:26,050 --> 00:39:29,370
coming up that we'll talk about.
And I'm gonna hit the Gray cat
721
00:39:29,370 --> 00:39:32,010
up here because he mentions they
are an experience and it did
722
00:39:32,010 --> 00:39:35,340
show but.
There were some athleticism
723
00:39:35,340 --> 00:39:39,700
there because as as many, as
many gashes as we got.
724
00:39:40,020 --> 00:39:44,980
You know, no one ever broke
anything over 30 yards and there
725
00:39:44,980 --> 00:39:47,980
were only three explosive runs
over 20 plus yards.
726
00:39:47,980 --> 00:39:50,460
So you know, again, it's on tape
now.
727
00:39:50,900 --> 00:39:55,980
And one last piece of the bad we
got to talk about Brian wanted
728
00:39:55,980 --> 00:39:59,940
five yards of carry.
Sheldon, hold on, hold on.
729
00:39:59,940 --> 00:40:02,180
Always that Sheldon Shelton's
Our dad got Shelton.
730
00:40:02,180 --> 00:40:05,310
Did we get 5 yards of carry?
Not even close.
731
00:40:08,390 --> 00:40:11,670
No, you could double like you
could double and we barely would
732
00:40:11,670 --> 00:40:13,910
get it.
So.
733
00:40:13,990 --> 00:40:18,630
Brian brother was bad.
Just just tell me what you saw
734
00:40:18,630 --> 00:40:21,590
and I know are we going to do
the tape now or is just going to
735
00:40:21,590 --> 00:40:25,030
be later?
We we can do the tape.
736
00:40:25,470 --> 00:40:27,710
Got a few?
Clips here and Brian's going to
737
00:40:27,710 --> 00:40:31,870
do some explanation because
Brian where we getting shoved
738
00:40:31,870 --> 00:40:36,940
back in our laps.
For the most part no we we were
739
00:40:36,940 --> 00:40:41,140
we were at least getting some
stalemates some decent push I
740
00:40:41,140 --> 00:40:45,420
would say on the on the front
there you know the problem was
741
00:40:45,420 --> 00:40:49,340
we weren't getting to the second
level worth of damn and you know
742
00:40:49,340 --> 00:40:51,660
we'll we'll talk about that a
little bit but against that
743
00:40:51,660 --> 00:40:54,540
three man front that odd front
especially if it's a stacked
744
00:40:54,540 --> 00:40:57,500
front that can be problematic
so.
745
00:40:58,100 --> 00:41:01,540
We can look at a couple here.
Say thank you to Shelton for
746
00:41:01,660 --> 00:41:03,660
getting these pulled for us so
we can take a look all.
747
00:41:05,620 --> 00:41:07,500
Righty.
Can we go first clip?
748
00:41:09,700 --> 00:41:11,260
There was one of the times,
yeah.
749
00:41:11,260 --> 00:41:13,300
I'm just going to let it run
first and then we can kind of
750
00:41:13,300 --> 00:41:17,820
run it back here.
So let me just inside zone here.
751
00:41:18,700 --> 00:41:21,260
We but we got 2 problems.
Both of those inside linebackers
752
00:41:21,260 --> 00:41:22,820
there are going to get in the
backfield.
753
00:41:24,180 --> 00:41:26,620
You got Benji up there up at the
top of Parker.
754
00:41:27,650 --> 00:41:31,330
A little slow getting hip to hip
here means Parker's a little
755
00:41:31,330 --> 00:41:35,290
late coming off.
You got a linebacker in the
756
00:41:35,290 --> 00:41:37,570
backfield.
Get a little hit on the running
757
00:41:37,570 --> 00:41:40,170
back, but let's move inside a
little bit more.
758
00:41:40,290 --> 00:41:44,330
We got Shick and we got Kate
Moore at the right Garden
759
00:41:44,330 --> 00:41:48,690
center.
Bob Shick does not do a good job
760
00:41:48,690 --> 00:41:50,330
of trying to take over this nose
here.
761
00:41:50,650 --> 00:41:54,650
He didn't use his eyes.
Looking at that backer comes off
762
00:41:54,650 --> 00:41:57,950
a little too quick.
That backers up in there on the
763
00:41:57,950 --> 00:42:00,790
play side A and he's trying to
come over the top.
764
00:42:01,390 --> 00:42:02,990
He should have pushed Kaden off
here.
765
00:42:03,910 --> 00:42:06,270
Kaden should have been picking
up that that backer there.
766
00:42:07,230 --> 00:42:09,790
So both those backers kind of
get a free run at the at the
767
00:42:09,790 --> 00:42:12,230
running back here.
Make a little tackle for loss.
768
00:42:12,670 --> 00:42:16,150
Fortunately only one of a what a
what A couple tackles for loss
769
00:42:16,150 --> 00:42:18,950
in the game here.
But that one was pretty ugly.
770
00:42:19,110 --> 00:42:22,870
Two guys, not really really Two
sets of combo blocks.
771
00:42:22,870 --> 00:42:25,030
Not really going off and getting
to the second level the way you
772
00:42:25,030 --> 00:42:27,690
want to see them.
Yeah, and that linebacker, I
773
00:42:27,730 --> 00:42:29,130
think it was 42.
He's good.
774
00:42:30,210 --> 00:42:32,130
Oh yeah, he's a good.
He's a good linebacker.
775
00:42:32,450 --> 00:42:37,770
You got to put a hat on him.
Yeah, I think this is just guys
776
00:42:37,770 --> 00:42:40,450
not not communicating and not
using their eyes.
777
00:42:41,370 --> 00:42:45,090
Something that that should get
better with time, but not not a
778
00:42:45,090 --> 00:42:48,730
good effort on this play in
particular and we'll go ahead
779
00:42:48,730 --> 00:42:57,080
and run the second one here.
Somebody would have just got
780
00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:00,000
that guy.
Was that the middle linebacker?
781
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:03,320
Well, you at least get you'll
give a solid 5 yard gain here.
782
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:07,480
If if we're watching Bob shake
here, he's he's going to have a
783
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:12,440
combo on the the defensive end
down here at the bottom and this
784
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:16,280
backer here.
But he he takes his own step,
785
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:19,920
but he gets his shoulders turn
too much.
786
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:22,720
He doesn't keep them parallel
enough with a lot of scrimmage.
787
00:43:22,720 --> 00:43:27,250
So he kind of loses this backer.
If he'd have kept his shoulders
788
00:43:27,250 --> 00:43:31,090
a little more square, gave his
little little right hand punch,
789
00:43:31,090 --> 00:43:34,250
but he kept his eyes on the
backer, he'd be able to see
790
00:43:34,250 --> 00:43:38,130
where that guy's going.
He wouldn't miss getting that
791
00:43:38,130 --> 00:43:41,690
wall because we get that wall
and seal on the linebacker here,
792
00:43:42,410 --> 00:43:44,570
That's at least a solid 5 yard
game.
793
00:43:44,770 --> 00:43:49,250
There's gonna be some contact
right this level here and you'll
794
00:43:49,250 --> 00:43:52,620
you'll end up getting, like I
said, a solid. 5-6 yards at
795
00:43:52,620 --> 00:43:54,060
least.
If you break a tackle, you might
796
00:43:54,060 --> 00:43:57,340
end up getting a few more so.
He looking he looking third
797
00:43:57,340 --> 00:44:00,020
level before you go to 2nd.
Yeah, yeah.
798
00:44:00,900 --> 00:44:03,260
And I mean, I get it.
He, he clears here, he doesn't
799
00:44:03,260 --> 00:44:04,900
see anybody.
He's finding, he's finding the
800
00:44:04,900 --> 00:44:06,660
next guy to hit that.
I mean, that's what you're
801
00:44:06,660 --> 00:44:09,500
supposed to do.
But he lost the live backer that
802
00:44:09,500 --> 00:44:11,100
that should have been the guy
he's sealing off.
803
00:44:12,660 --> 00:44:14,740
Good deal.
Thanks Siegler for breaking that
804
00:44:14,740 --> 00:44:17,060
tape down.
Hopefully some of those things
805
00:44:17,060 --> 00:44:21,680
can get corrected before next.
Or for this Saturday.
806
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:24,320
Excuse me, We'll get into that
in just a few seconds.
807
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:27,000
I'm I'm hoping Bob Chick is not
a weekly punching bag all.
808
00:44:29,720 --> 00:44:32,080
Right, I'm hoping.
I'm hoping the quarterback pull
809
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:34,640
a couple of those too.
There you.
810
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:36,800
Go.
All right, so the third thing
811
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:39,800
we're going to always talk is
what happened that we were not
812
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:42,360
prepared for.
And we wrote just two things
813
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:45,320
down on this.
I think the 1st and Brian's
814
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:49,040
already mentioned it was the RPO
middle rushes from that stacked
815
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:51,390
ultra spread.
I don't think anybody saw that
816
00:44:51,390 --> 00:44:53,470
happening.
Honest to God, don't.
817
00:44:53,630 --> 00:44:56,870
If somebody had that outlined
out there, please send us the
818
00:44:56,870 --> 00:44:59,030
article where somebody said it
out loud.
819
00:44:59,030 --> 00:45:01,510
I don't think anybody saw.
Nobody watched enough Fordham
820
00:45:01,510 --> 00:45:02,630
tape, apparently.
I don't know.
821
00:45:03,150 --> 00:45:04,910
Yeah, but I don't think they did
that often at.
822
00:45:04,910 --> 00:45:07,950
Fordham, though, they didn't.
They didn't.
823
00:45:08,350 --> 00:45:11,030
And then the other one would be
the linebacker combination
824
00:45:11,030 --> 00:45:13,150
because Sheldon you just
mentioned there a few minutes
825
00:45:13,150 --> 00:45:16,990
ago Will Johnson actually had a
significant amount of stops and
826
00:45:17,070 --> 00:45:18,750
and then just kind of looking at
it.
827
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:24,120
It wasn't always like Mike Will
because there is at one point
828
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:27,120
time it was him and Lawson on
the field at the same time.
829
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:29,760
Which one of those two things
were more surprising or y'all
830
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:35,400
didn't expect Shelton?
Of those two, I'll defer to
831
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:39,360
Brian here because I think he
would have better insight on
832
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:44,640
this.
Yeah, I mean I think the to me
833
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:46,840
it would be the linebacker
combinations.
834
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:51,050
I think the.
You expected probably a new
835
00:45:51,050 --> 00:45:54,610
wrinkle from ODUI mean they're
playing an instate rival,
836
00:45:54,810 --> 00:45:57,690
technically a level up in terms
of Power 5 versus G5.
837
00:45:57,690 --> 00:46:02,170
You knew they're going to pull
out something to mess with us
838
00:46:02,170 --> 00:46:06,490
schematically because they
probably can't match up talent
839
00:46:06,490 --> 00:46:10,050
for talent at this point,
especially on the defensive side
840
00:46:10,050 --> 00:46:12,810
of the ball.
So you kind of expected some
841
00:46:12,810 --> 00:46:15,150
sort of wrinkle there?
I think the linebacker
842
00:46:15,150 --> 00:46:17,670
combinations are interesting
just because we saw WILL in the
843
00:46:17,670 --> 00:46:20,070
too deep.
You know we didn't know.
844
00:46:20,350 --> 00:46:23,030
You know there was talk of
McDonald being in the too deep
845
00:46:23,030 --> 00:46:24,110
there.
There's a lot of different
846
00:46:24,110 --> 00:46:25,630
combinations.
But Will being up there was kind
847
00:46:25,630 --> 00:46:28,990
of surprising when we looked at
the depth chart for Week 1 and
848
00:46:28,990 --> 00:46:32,630
him getting that much run.
And especially with the
849
00:46:32,630 --> 00:46:35,430
combinations like you said with
the Lawson out there with with
850
00:46:35,430 --> 00:46:40,110
them sometimes you know we had
Keller and and Tisdale on the
851
00:46:40,110 --> 00:46:41,470
field at sometimes.
So there was.
852
00:46:41,790 --> 00:46:43,590
They mix and match a lot there.
There wasn't.
853
00:46:44,190 --> 00:46:49,390
Necessarily a defined Mike and
will in for in terms of that TV
854
00:46:49,470 --> 00:46:51,910
that they definitely rotated
guys kind of across the board
855
00:46:51,910 --> 00:46:54,030
there in a in a more
interchangeable fashion and I
856
00:46:54,030 --> 00:46:57,030
think we anticipated.
So it'll be interesting to see
857
00:46:57,030 --> 00:46:58,870
if that's something that carries
over, if that's just something
858
00:46:58,870 --> 00:47:01,830
they were playing around with
against ODU as they kind of
859
00:47:01,830 --> 00:47:04,710
feel, feel out what they want
their final rotation to be.
860
00:47:05,950 --> 00:47:08,750
Tally, what about you?
I just didn't think the
861
00:47:08,750 --> 00:47:12,070
quarterback was going rush for
more yards than he passed for.
862
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:18,800
Close to, I mean, you know,
getting breaking out and getting
863
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:21,400
these runs and some of them
design runs.
864
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:26,640
So that RPO was a little bit
unexpected, you know, as much as
865
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:29,960
the as much as the seeing the
different people.
866
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:35,040
That linebacker was a little, I
don't want to say alarming, but
867
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:36,320
I just didn't know it was going
to happen.
868
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:40,280
I definitely didn't expect, you
know, their quarterback to be.
869
00:47:41,660 --> 00:47:44,580
On the run as much as he was and
making stuff, make plays.
870
00:47:44,580 --> 00:47:48,460
But thank the Lord that we made
enough plays because I don't
871
00:47:48,460 --> 00:47:51,860
know what we've been practicing,
but everybody was raking at the
872
00:47:51,860 --> 00:47:55,660
ball, so when we got a chance we
was getting that ball out of
873
00:47:55,660 --> 00:47:58,020
there.
Yes, we did 2 fourths fumbles, 1
874
00:47:58,020 --> 00:48:01,580
interception and they were
putting the head on the ball for
875
00:48:01,580 --> 00:48:07,340
those two fumbles, which is
great to see, but again. 3/4
876
00:48:07,340 --> 00:48:10,510
fumbles we got on 2. 3-4
fumbles.
877
00:48:10,950 --> 00:48:13,510
Well, four if you count the bad
snap because that's considered a
878
00:48:13,510 --> 00:48:17,430
force fumble in the We'll take
that one too.
879
00:48:17,430 --> 00:48:19,030
All right, real quick.
Y'all.
880
00:48:19,350 --> 00:48:22,070
Last piece we do is what can we
do better moving forward.
881
00:48:22,350 --> 00:48:25,470
We're going to be kind of short
and sweet with these me straight
882
00:48:25,470 --> 00:48:30,150
up Grant Wells has to keep the
ball on RPO's tally, pointed it
883
00:48:30,150 --> 00:48:34,350
out a couple times if he keeps a
couple RPO's.
884
00:48:34,390 --> 00:48:37,990
And again, we don't expect 20
yards, We don't expect 15 yards.
885
00:48:38,370 --> 00:48:42,930
Get 3, get 4, make them be
accountable for you, Brian, What
886
00:48:42,930 --> 00:48:45,210
do you got?
I'm going to go with the
887
00:48:45,210 --> 00:48:47,450
offensive line here.
Got to get to the second level,
888
00:48:47,450 --> 00:48:51,970
got to be able to maintain those
combos, keep your eyes where
889
00:48:51,970 --> 00:48:57,970
they need to be and communicate
across the board because I think
890
00:48:57,970 --> 00:49:00,450
that that's something that was
missing a little bit.
891
00:49:00,770 --> 00:49:03,410
There was a couple times where
guys should have pushed the guy
892
00:49:03,410 --> 00:49:05,890
off and didn't, a couple times
where they were trying to get to
893
00:49:05,890 --> 00:49:09,750
the second level too quick.
Or not at all.
894
00:49:09,750 --> 00:49:12,310
So there's there's just got to
be better communication and
895
00:49:12,310 --> 00:49:14,590
better consistency in those
combo blocks.
896
00:49:15,510 --> 00:49:18,630
Kelly.
Quicker coaching adjustments
897
00:49:19,950 --> 00:49:22,830
that first quarter we was all
inhale, purgatory, whatever you
898
00:49:22,830 --> 00:49:24,910
want to call it.
And then the second quarter as
899
00:49:24,910 --> 00:49:27,670
soon as it starts laying,
catches the touchdown fast and
900
00:49:27,670 --> 00:49:31,310
everybody breathes a little bit.
What was that play we were
901
00:49:31,310 --> 00:49:33,830
waiting on that Let's get that a
little bit early.
902
00:49:33,910 --> 00:49:39,200
That's all I'm gonna say for
now. 100% and Sheldon, Yeah, so
903
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:42,040
I would say Office of Line
Communication in conjunction
904
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:45,760
with play selection, they shall
tootin forced 10 missed tackles
905
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:48,760
against ODU.
He had less than three yards per
906
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:49,920
carry.
That's not acceptable.
907
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:53,720
He is doing everything he can to
try to break the first level and
908
00:49:53,720 --> 00:49:55,600
he can't do it in conjunction
with that.
909
00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:57,880
I also think the play selection
was a little bit odd.
910
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:01,000
Virginia Tech was very run heavy
on 1st down, but if you look at
911
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:04,440
the numbers, they they had 21st
down runs.
912
00:50:04,720 --> 00:50:06,160
Only three of them were
successful.
913
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:09,220
So that's like 15%.
I would prefer to see us pass
914
00:50:09,220 --> 00:50:11,540
Paul Moore in first down because
I just don't think running is
915
00:50:11,540 --> 00:50:15,700
going to get the job done.
All righty, Yes or no answer,
916
00:50:16,740 --> 00:50:18,980
Was this the best performance
under Brent Pratt?
917
00:50:22,180 --> 00:50:25,180
I think you got to go, yes.
I mean, I think you got to go,
918
00:50:25,180 --> 00:50:28,020
yes.
Yes, I'm.
919
00:50:29,460 --> 00:50:34,220
Going to say yes, but it's not a
enthusiastic yes because I'll
920
00:50:34,220 --> 00:50:38,030
say this.
Relative to our talent level now
921
00:50:38,110 --> 00:50:42,310
compared to last year and
relative to ODU's talent level
922
00:50:42,310 --> 00:50:46,590
compared to a Liberty last year,
I think there's some arguments
923
00:50:46,590 --> 00:50:49,950
that could be made that that was
a better win.
924
00:50:50,310 --> 00:50:53,550
But I think this is, this is a
win that gives us I think more
925
00:50:53,550 --> 00:50:57,830
confidence because it is a
season opener and I think we did
926
00:50:57,830 --> 00:51:02,750
more things all around well to
win that game, but.
927
00:51:03,650 --> 00:51:06,050
Like I said, relative to the
talent levels on both sides of
928
00:51:06,050 --> 00:51:08,130
the squad, you can make an
argument for liberty, but I'm
929
00:51:08,130 --> 00:51:09,730
going to go.
I'm going to go yes as well, but
930
00:51:09,730 --> 00:51:12,330
again, not, not, not as
enthusiastic I think is the rest
931
00:51:12,330 --> 00:51:15,650
of the guys here.
Brian is not following the
932
00:51:15,650 --> 00:51:17,130
instructions.
Not following instructions.
933
00:51:17,770 --> 00:51:20,530
I'm going to say yes, that this
is as well and I'm not going to
934
00:51:20,530 --> 00:51:22,170
get into anything else real
quick.
935
00:51:22,170 --> 00:51:24,770
Tally, you mentioned it earlier,
but y'all one of the coolest
936
00:51:24,770 --> 00:51:28,610
things was watching ACC Network,
seeing Ali Jennings family up
937
00:51:28,610 --> 00:51:30,970
there and him kind of talking
about running through that
938
00:51:30,970 --> 00:51:33,790
tunnel.
And we we tell you mentioned it
939
00:51:33,790 --> 00:51:36,910
and we all know about it.
That's the kind of kid you want
940
00:51:36,910 --> 00:51:40,310
to bring there because they want
to be there, they're going to
941
00:51:40,310 --> 00:51:43,470
play hard.
And he balled out damn near had
942
00:51:43,510 --> 00:51:47,630
three touchdowns, led the team
in receptions with six for 172
943
00:51:47,630 --> 00:51:50,950
and two touchdowns.
That was unbelievable to me.
944
00:51:52,550 --> 00:51:55,950
You know, that's just something
you don't see every day and.
945
00:51:56,760 --> 00:52:00,400
I think you know he's already on
A roll to get 1000 yards this
946
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:02,160
season.
Hopefully he keeps it up versus
947
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:03,560
Purdue.
All right.
948
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:07,000
Before we get to know the enemy
Purdue, we are going to take a
949
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:10,360
quick commercial pause from our
digital partners and Main Street
950
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:12,720
Pharmacy.
I can probably save you a lot of
951
00:52:12,720 --> 00:52:14,640
money and I can take a lot
better care of you.
952
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:18,000
That's pretty much it.
My name is Jeremy Counts and I'm
953
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:20,240
a pharmacist.
I want to operate Main Street
954
00:52:20,240 --> 00:52:21,760
Pharmacy here in downtown
Blacksburg.
955
00:52:22,220 --> 00:52:23,980
My brother's A pharmacist.
I'm a pharmacist.
956
00:52:23,980 --> 00:52:25,700
My uncle's A pharmacist.
My dad's a pharmacist.
957
00:52:25,940 --> 00:52:28,900
I remember he would give me M
and M's to count in little pill
958
00:52:28,900 --> 00:52:30,740
counters.
This is something I've always
959
00:52:30,740 --> 00:52:34,620
done, and I'm just lucky that
what I know so well is something
960
00:52:34,620 --> 00:52:37,140
that I can do and feel good
about it and get back to people.
961
00:52:37,900 --> 00:52:39,620
Pharmacies are your frontline
defense.
962
00:52:39,780 --> 00:52:42,860
Pharmacy's job is to make sure
you're getting optimal care for
963
00:52:42,860 --> 00:52:46,300
the lowest price possible.
Also, we take the pressure off
964
00:52:46,380 --> 00:52:48,420
of emergency rooms.
I'll tell people immediately
965
00:52:48,420 --> 00:52:50,220
when they need to go to the
doctor, or I'll tell them if
966
00:52:50,220 --> 00:52:51,820
they just need a cream over the
counter.
967
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:54,840
If there's something that isn't
commercially available, if it's
968
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:57,520
something that's not available
in a certain strength or a
969
00:52:57,520 --> 00:53:00,240
certain form or anything like
that, we'll make it tailor made
970
00:53:00,240 --> 00:53:02,000
medications.
Some of those options save
971
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:03,880
people a lot of money.
What motivates me?
972
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:06,720
I get to take care of people and
limit Blacksburg, I thought.
973
00:53:06,720 --> 00:53:11,040
Neat.
As we take a quick break, we'd
974

980
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:35,300
Now back to the episode.
Alrighty and we are back and we
981
00:53:35,300 --> 00:53:38,900
are going to get to know the
enemy Purdue a game all four of
982
00:53:38,900 --> 00:53:42,780
us will be in attendance for.
Brian, myself and Tally heading
983
00:53:42,780 --> 00:53:46,380
down Friday night.
Shelton joining us on Saturday.
984
00:53:46,820 --> 00:53:49,060
Can't wait to be back in the
bird for this game, but let's
985
00:53:49,060 --> 00:53:51,260
talk about Purdue.
We're going to talk about the
986
00:53:51,300 --> 00:53:54,110
offense first.
Talking about this scheme, it's
987
00:53:54,110 --> 00:53:57,790
a Gram Harrell Air Raid attack.
So Brian, give me a little
988
00:53:57,870 --> 00:54:00,790
insight, give the fans a little
insight on what we're going to
989
00:54:00,790 --> 00:54:03,030
see from Purdue Saturday scheme
wise.
990
00:54:03,470 --> 00:54:05,790
Oh yeah, you already said it.
We got the Gram Harrell Air
991
00:54:05,790 --> 00:54:08,070
Raid, we saw it last year
against West Virginia.
992
00:54:08,070 --> 00:54:12,430
We're seeing it again this year
with Purdue like we talked about
993
00:54:12,430 --> 00:54:14,150
last year.
It's a slightly more vertical
994
00:54:14,150 --> 00:54:18,630
version of the air raid, don't
run the ball much or or really
995
00:54:18,630 --> 00:54:21,070
effectively at least that what
we've seen in the first game so
996
00:54:21,070 --> 00:54:22,940
far.
But they'll occasionally hit a
997
00:54:22,940 --> 00:54:28,660
chunk play and they like to mix
in some RPO concepts in the in
998
00:54:28,660 --> 00:54:31,380
the the air raid attack here
too.
999
00:54:31,380 --> 00:54:34,340
So you'll see some RPO comp sets
but mixed in there.
1000
00:54:34,860 --> 00:54:35,980
But again, it's a typical Air
Raid.
1001
00:54:35,980 --> 00:54:37,500
They're going to hit you with a
lot of short stuff.
1002
00:54:37,500 --> 00:54:41,900
A lot of crossers get guys in
space and let their athletes
1003
00:54:41,900 --> 00:54:43,540
kind of make some big plays
after the catch.
1004
00:54:45,260 --> 00:54:47,820
Yeah, definitely.
First, I guess the first athlete
1005
00:54:47,820 --> 00:54:50,340
we were to talk about is a
Dionne Burks.
1006
00:54:50,340 --> 00:54:53,290
He's a wide receiver.
Just giving a little bit of a
1007
00:54:53,290 --> 00:54:56,010
back story on him or a little
bit of information on him.
1008
00:54:56,370 --> 00:55:07,690
So listed at about five 11175 as
a recruit he was a 88 on 24786
1009
00:55:07,690 --> 00:55:12,810
composite ranking.
So about a mid three star, three
1010
00:55:12,810 --> 00:55:17,450
star level recruit.
Last week, he had four
1011
00:55:17,450 --> 00:55:22,450
receptions for 152 yards.
He had two touchdowns.
1012
00:55:22,450 --> 00:55:25,250
I think his longest was 84
yards.
1013
00:55:25,250 --> 00:55:28,570
So take it away, Brian.
What you talking about this guy?
1014
00:55:29,090 --> 00:55:30,210
Yeah, I mean, he's a game
breaker.
1015
00:55:30,210 --> 00:55:32,290
If he gets loose in the
secondary, he sees the guy that
1016
00:55:32,290 --> 00:55:35,370
you want to make sure doesn't
have a whole lot of open space
1017
00:55:35,370 --> 00:55:37,410
and that you bring him down on
first contact.
1018
00:55:38,650 --> 00:55:41,290
You know, really good against
Fresno, but you know most of
1019
00:55:41,290 --> 00:55:43,050
that yardage came with that one
big play.
1020
00:55:43,250 --> 00:55:45,610
There was three missed tackles,
so you can break some tackles
1021
00:55:45,610 --> 00:55:48,210
there as well.
So that was something.
1022
00:55:49,010 --> 00:55:53,820
Not a huge guy, but.
Shifty, you know, gets away from
1023
00:55:53,820 --> 00:55:57,780
stuff, keeps his legs churning.
So he's the guy that we got to
1024
00:55:57,780 --> 00:55:59,620
get to the ground as soon as he
makes the catch.
1025
00:56:00,060 --> 00:56:02,900
And they like to isolate him and
man looks as well so they can
1026
00:56:02,900 --> 00:56:06,580
kind of get him matched up,
especially in the red zone.
1027
00:56:06,580 --> 00:56:08,660
That's what they like to do is
get him in This man looks where
1028
00:56:08,660 --> 00:56:12,380
he's isolated on one side of the
field and kind of just cook a
1029
00:56:12,380 --> 00:56:14,260
little bit against man on man
coverage.
1030
00:56:15,460 --> 00:56:18,170
Sean, you got anything on him?
Yes.
1031
00:56:18,170 --> 00:56:22,370
He had 64 Smith tackles against
President State which for a guy
1032
00:56:22,370 --> 00:56:24,610
with only a four reception in
the years, pretty insane.
1033
00:56:25,530 --> 00:56:29,450
Biggest thing, biggest thing
with Burke's average depth of
1034
00:56:29,450 --> 00:56:32,330
target, 17 yards.
So he's very much their, their
1035
00:56:32,330 --> 00:56:34,490
deep ball guy.
He's going to be running a lot
1036
00:56:34,490 --> 00:56:35,930
of deep routes.
So I have to make sure you're
1037
00:56:35,970 --> 00:56:38,250
you're playing playing some
tight man coverage.
1038
00:56:39,010 --> 00:56:42,810
Yep, tell you mentioned the 84.
His second longest was a 44
1039
00:56:42,810 --> 00:56:43,830
yarder.
So.
1040
00:56:43,830 --> 00:56:48,550
He did a lot of damage in two
plays there, and delivering him
1041
00:56:48,550 --> 00:56:51,790
that damage was Hudson Card and
Hudson Card.
1042
00:56:51,790 --> 00:56:57,750
The Texas transfer 63210 out of
Austin, TX transferred over.
1043
00:56:58,270 --> 00:57:01,630
This guy was a pretty high
prospect when he came out just a
1044
00:57:01,630 --> 00:57:05,270
few years ago, you know class of
2020.
1045
00:57:05,270 --> 00:57:08,430
He was a top 60 player, the
number 2 dual cord.
1046
00:57:09,060 --> 00:57:15,660
Dual threat quarterback in the
country 97 composite 95 on 247
1047
00:57:15,940 --> 00:57:18,340
and just kind of taking a look
at his track record.
1048
00:57:18,660 --> 00:57:23,020
You know with Texas he played in
12 games where you know through
1049
00:57:23,020 --> 00:57:26,820
for just at excuse me, he played
in 12 games last year at Texas
1050
00:57:27,100 --> 00:57:31,300
where he threw just under 1000
yards, 6 touchdowns, 1TD against
1051
00:57:31,300 --> 00:57:35,780
Fresno.
Solid game 17 for 3254 and two
1052
00:57:35,780 --> 00:57:37,980
touchdowns.
Brian.
1053
00:57:38,350 --> 00:57:40,430
What are we, What are we seeing
from Hudson Card here?
1054
00:57:42,230 --> 00:57:45,630
You know we we talked about the
Graham Harrell offense here you
1055
00:57:45,630 --> 00:57:49,070
know almost kind of read what
seemed like is in terms of like
1056
00:57:49,070 --> 00:57:51,150
high school rating and stuff
like that.
1057
00:57:51,150 --> 00:57:54,350
A mirror of what you know JT
Daniels was coming out of out of
1058
00:57:54,350 --> 00:57:58,030
high school with but card with a
little bit more success.
1059
00:57:58,030 --> 00:58:01,590
I feel like in the in the
limited time there he's an
1060
00:58:01,590 --> 00:58:04,630
accurate thrower of the
football, doesn't take a ton of
1061
00:58:04,630 --> 00:58:06,790
risk with the football I'll be
that's inherent of the a rate
1062
00:58:06,790 --> 00:58:09,070
anyway but.
He's not going to put it in
1063
00:58:09,070 --> 00:58:13,230
harm's way very often He will
use his legs if given a lane,
1064
00:58:13,230 --> 00:58:14,910
but he's not generally looking
to take off.
1065
00:58:14,910 --> 00:58:18,070
He's looking to kind of get
those 3 steppers, get the guys
1066
00:58:18,070 --> 00:58:21,790
in space and then get a good
matchup with Dionne Burks down
1067
00:58:21,790 --> 00:58:25,070
the field when he when he wants
to take a shot, you know.
1068
00:58:25,070 --> 00:58:27,750
But like most quarterbacks, he
can get rattled when when
1069
00:58:27,750 --> 00:58:29,830
pressure consistently,
especially if it's coming up in
1070
00:58:29,830 --> 00:58:31,950
his face there.
Like I said, he doesn't really
1071
00:58:31,950 --> 00:58:34,510
move too much in the pocket
there, so.
1072
00:58:34,860 --> 00:58:37,540
If we can get some pressure on
him up the middle, I think we
1073
00:58:37,540 --> 00:58:38,820
can get him a little rattled
there.
1074
00:58:38,820 --> 00:58:41,940
But you know, solid quarterback
and like I said, really
1075
00:58:41,940 --> 00:58:44,180
accurate, which, you know, you
kind of expect of an Air Raid
1076
00:58:44,180 --> 00:58:46,500
type quarterback.
Anything standing out
1077
00:58:46,500 --> 00:58:50,260
statistical wise, data wise
Shelton for Hudson or is it just
1078
00:58:50,580 --> 00:58:53,180
he is what he is?
Yeah, he kind of is what he is.
1079
00:58:53,220 --> 00:58:57,780
I mean last year at Texas PFF
grade around 70, which is a
1080
00:58:57,780 --> 00:59:02,060
little bit above average, he was
around 92nd of 163 qualified
1081
00:59:02,060 --> 00:59:04,290
quarterbacks, so nothing too
special.
1082
00:59:04,290 --> 00:59:08,090
I will say he did face pressure
on 30% of his drop backs last
1083
00:59:08,090 --> 00:59:10,970
year, so obviously blinds not
doing a ton of favors obviously,
1084
00:59:10,970 --> 00:59:12,690
which we'll get into, you know,
soon.
1085
00:59:14,570 --> 00:59:16,090
All righty, who we got next
ally?
1086
00:59:16,570 --> 00:59:19,930
So we talked about Hudson Card
running, just a little bit of
1087
00:59:19,930 --> 00:59:27,930
not wanting to run a lot.
Last week he had 2929 yards on 6
1088
00:59:27,930 --> 00:59:34,270
carries 13.
His his long was about 13 so his
1089
00:59:34,270 --> 00:59:41,270
running back is Devin Mockelby.
He is He or he was a low three
1090
00:59:41,270 --> 00:59:45,430
star, two star recruit out of
Boonville IN.
1091
00:59:45,710 --> 00:59:48,030
He's about 6 foot tall 200
pounds.
1092
00:59:48,910 --> 00:59:52,670
His only offer out of high
school was Navy and he walked on
1093
00:59:52,670 --> 00:59:55,990
it Purdue.
Now he is starting at running
1094
00:59:55,990 --> 00:59:57,550
back.
I think he is a sophomore.
1095
00:59:58,140 --> 01:00:01,300
Last week he had 16 carries for
60 yards.
1096
01:00:01,580 --> 01:00:04,180
His long was 20 yards.
He had one touchdown.
1097
01:00:04,500 --> 01:00:08,740
So that is going to be Hudson
Cards guy that he's going to be
1098
01:00:09,340 --> 01:00:10,660
wanting to hand the ball to the
run.
1099
01:00:12,780 --> 01:00:15,300
Yeah, and I mean, you know, you
said he's a sophomore, red
1100
01:00:15,300 --> 01:00:17,220
shirt, sophomore, former walk
on.
1101
01:00:17,660 --> 01:00:21,460
I had a good year last year, 900
yards, didn't didn't start,
1102
01:00:21,660 --> 01:00:23,300
start the year as a starter.
Had an injury.
1103
01:00:23,660 --> 01:00:26,020
Got pushed into duty and and
held up really well.
1104
01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:29,440
Obviously struggled at the gate
a little bit in this new system.
1105
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:33,480
You know, they had a week and
banged up offensive line.
1106
01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:38,440
So you know that kind of is what
it is that that could carry over
1107
01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:39,280
this week.
We'll see.
1108
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:41,960
They had a, you know, we'll talk
about the offensive line, but
1109
01:00:41,960 --> 01:00:45,320
they had a center that was kind
of rotating in and out and all
1110
01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:46,800
this.
So they they struggled.
1111
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:49,680
He had that one good play, that
one good chunk play of 20 yards.
1112
01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:52,680
Didn't really hit on a whole lot
after that.
1113
01:00:54,220 --> 01:00:57,020
But you know, he's a guy that
that's 6 foot 200.
1114
01:00:57,020 --> 01:00:59,660
He's a hard guy to bring down.
Got to make sure you're rapping
1115
01:01:00,420 --> 01:01:02,700
and he can't break off some
chunk plays, but he's not a home
1116
01:01:02,700 --> 01:01:04,340
run hitter.
He's not going to hit those like
1117
01:01:04,660 --> 01:01:07,980
big long ones, like a band of
candor or anybody like that.
1118
01:01:07,980 --> 01:01:09,780
So don't ever call that name on
this podcast.
1119
01:01:11,860 --> 01:01:14,540
Yeah, we're not going to see
that, but he still is the guy
1120
01:01:14,580 --> 01:01:17,260
that can get to the second level
and kind of make a couple guys
1121
01:01:17,260 --> 01:01:20,180
miss and things like that.
But he's he's not going to be a
1122
01:01:20,180 --> 01:01:23,450
home run threat.
Yeah, that's kind of what I saw
1123
01:01:23,450 --> 01:01:28,970
too in my statistical analysis.
Look at the numbers here.
1124
01:01:28,970 --> 01:01:31,050
You know he didn't force ton of
his tackles, but the thing I did
1125
01:01:31,050 --> 01:01:33,290
notice he's a big pass catching
running back.
1126
01:01:33,290 --> 01:01:36,730
Last year he had 274 yards as a
receiver.
1127
01:01:37,010 --> 01:01:39,370
So you know, gotta be aware that
maybe some swing passes
1128
01:01:39,370 --> 01:01:41,410
depending on you know, kind of
how they how they do it, but
1129
01:01:41,770 --> 01:01:43,370
definitely a big thread in the
pass catching game all.
1130
01:01:44,210 --> 01:01:45,730
Right.
We'll definitely take note of
1131
01:01:45,730 --> 01:01:47,970
that.
We caught three passes last week
1132
01:01:47,970 --> 01:01:52,110
too, 3 passes for 16 yards.
Again that's that's a little
1133
01:01:52,110 --> 01:01:54,910
check down, but again you have
to think back, you have to think
1134
01:01:54,910 --> 01:01:58,190
about him right here 16, that's
not a great number but you look
1135
01:01:58,190 --> 01:02:01,110
what he did last year, it's
clearly proven success that he
1136
01:02:01,110 --> 01:02:05,830
can be a positive gainer in that
type of in that part of the
1137
01:02:05,830 --> 01:02:09,350
offense.
So you know, getting Jenkins in
1138
01:02:09,350 --> 01:02:13,990
the flats and you know the sear
peoples and the safeties and
1139
01:02:13,990 --> 01:02:17,230
stuff have to be a credit or
have to be accounted for in that
1140
01:02:17,470 --> 01:02:20,290
because to be honest.
Taking a look at their offensive
1141
01:02:20,290 --> 01:02:23,130
line, Shelton was dropping
grades on me a little while ago
1142
01:02:23,170 --> 01:02:26,770
and their best offensive lineman
which was Marcus Embo.
1143
01:02:27,450 --> 01:02:31,250
Embo spelled MB OW, if I'm
pronouncing that wrong, somebody
1144
01:02:31,250 --> 01:02:37,370
tell me a six five 305 offensive
lineman out of Milwaukee, WI in
1145
01:02:37,450 --> 01:02:41,330
Wata Watusa East High School at
247.
1146
01:02:41,330 --> 01:02:44,330
He was a three star.
Lot of offers though.
1147
01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:46,320
A lot of offers all over the
country.
1148
01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:50,520
Places like Arizona, Arkansas,
Iowa, Kansas, Michigan State,
1149
01:02:50,520 --> 01:02:53,920
even our neighbors to the West
of me and Brian here.
1150
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:58,600
UVA made his offer and he
roughly was about an 86.
1151
01:02:58,600 --> 01:03:02,000
One of the top ten players in
Wisconsin and he graded out.
1152
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:04,680
Let me go look at it here.
Shelton dropped this just a few
1153
01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:08,840
minutes ago to me at a 70.5 as
their right tackle.
1154
01:03:10,510 --> 01:03:12,910
That was about all they had to
write home about when it came to
1155
01:03:12,910 --> 01:03:14,510
the offensive line.
Because when Brown, when you
1156
01:03:14,510 --> 01:03:17,790
broke their stuff down, not only
as we were watching it here, but
1157
01:03:17,790 --> 01:03:19,270
as you watched a little extra
tape.
1158
01:03:20,030 --> 01:03:23,110
Not great, Bob.
Yeah, I mean, they struggled to
1159
01:03:23,110 --> 01:03:24,510
establish the run against
Fresno.
1160
01:03:24,510 --> 01:03:25,870
They really couldn't get
anything going.
1161
01:03:25,870 --> 01:03:29,350
You know, like we said, Ma could
be hit that one chunk play.
1162
01:03:29,350 --> 01:03:33,790
I think there was one other good
run by their other running back
1163
01:03:33,790 --> 01:03:35,510
that got them in the end zone
one time.
1164
01:03:35,510 --> 01:03:38,030
But after that, there was a
really a whole lot to write home
1165
01:03:38,030 --> 01:03:41,410
about in the running game.
They didn't give up any sacks.
1166
01:03:41,410 --> 01:03:44,690
They had a ton of pressures,
made it really hard for car to
1167
01:03:44,690 --> 01:03:47,330
truly settle, settle in and cook
against that Fresno State
1168
01:03:47,330 --> 01:03:49,970
defense.
Definitely the biggest weakness
1169
01:03:49,970 --> 01:03:53,130
on the team and they played
multiple centers like I was
1170
01:03:53,130 --> 01:03:55,290
alluding to earlier against
Fresno.
1171
01:03:55,290 --> 01:03:57,770
I think they had three centers
play in that game.
1172
01:03:57,770 --> 01:04:01,970
So that's something to keep an
eye on because rotating 3
1173
01:04:01,970 --> 01:04:05,010
centers is not an ideal scenario
to have.
1174
01:04:06,650 --> 01:04:08,800
No, not at all.
Not at all.
1175
01:04:09,640 --> 01:04:12,520
But to be honest, let's talk
about Fresno just a second here.
1176
01:04:12,520 --> 01:04:15,480
Fresno did return eight of their
eleven starters on the defensive
1177
01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:16,960
side of the ball.
Now what?
1178
01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:20,680
They were missing, and I think
this is jumped out to me as I
1179
01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:23,800
was doing the research.
They were missing their leading
1180
01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:29,600
sack sack creator last year, who
got drafted by Pittsburgh.
1181
01:04:30,120 --> 01:04:33,200
So to me, I hear that yes, you
return a lot of starters, but
1182
01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:36,040
when a primary edge guy is gone
and they're still causing that
1183
01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:39,440
much havoc, still being able to
stop that offense in some way,
1184
01:04:40,520 --> 01:04:43,600
there is definitely some holes
within the Graham Harrow Air
1185
01:04:43,600 --> 01:04:46,120
Raid offense.
All right, we're going to flip
1186
01:04:46,120 --> 01:04:48,800
over to the defensive side of
the ball and get to know you,
1187
01:04:49,080 --> 01:04:51,200
Brian.
Let's talk about Ryan Walters.
1188
01:04:51,200 --> 01:04:54,320
Obviously at Illinois, he had
that defense humming for a
1189
01:04:54,440 --> 01:04:57,080
couple years.
What are we taking a look at
1190
01:04:57,080 --> 01:05:01,370
with Mr. Walters defense?
Yeah, you're looking at a base
1191
01:05:01,370 --> 01:05:05,570
3-4.
They will go into a nickel
1192
01:05:05,570 --> 01:05:07,690
package.
That's going to be the 335 stack
1193
01:05:07,690 --> 01:05:10,850
like we saw a little bit of
against ODU, but their base is
1194
01:05:10,850 --> 01:05:14,050
going to be a 3-4.
You know we talked about it
1195
01:05:14,050 --> 01:05:16,610
already, Odd fronts are going to
be harder to run inside zone
1196
01:05:16,610 --> 01:05:17,650
again.
So we're going to get a little
1197
01:05:17,650 --> 01:05:19,730
bit more of that this week.
Hopefully we can make some
1198
01:05:19,730 --> 01:05:24,090
adjustments and handle that a
little bit better and they will
1199
01:05:24,090 --> 01:05:27,850
occasionally play with the
alignment of the linebackers.
1200
01:05:29,490 --> 01:05:32,810
So in particular, the guy we're
about to talk about here in a
1201
01:05:32,810 --> 01:05:36,810
little bit.
Well, and that linebacker he is
1202
01:05:36,810 --> 01:05:39,610
talking about is Kydrane
Jenkins.
1203
01:05:39,610 --> 01:05:44,570
He is the outside linebacker 6
foot one ��260 out of Louisville,
1204
01:05:44,570 --> 01:05:46,570
GA at Jefferson County High
School.
1205
01:05:47,130 --> 01:05:53,250
Cadren was a low, low three star
84, the 135th player in the
1206
01:05:53,250 --> 01:05:55,930
state of Georgia back in the
class of 2020.
1207
01:05:56,430 --> 01:06:02,070
And believe it or not, his only
Division One offer was per due
1208
01:06:02,590 --> 01:06:07,390
lot of G5 offers, and today the
truth kind of has already hit
1209
01:06:07,390 --> 01:06:10,390
off the bat in his first two
seasons playing.
1210
01:06:10,390 --> 01:06:13,790
Obviously you can see that
playing sparishly in 26 games in
1211
01:06:13,790 --> 01:06:19,670
its first two seasons. 67 total
tackles, 16 tackles for loss, 9
1212
01:06:19,670 --> 01:06:23,230
sacks, along with a couple past
deflections in a forced fumble.
1213
01:06:23,670 --> 01:06:26,110
And he started off good against
Fresno State last week.
1214
01:06:26,110 --> 01:06:30,710
Brian 6 total tackles, one sack,
an additional tackle for loss.
1215
01:06:31,630 --> 01:06:35,470
He is.
I think you'll you'll put it in
1216
01:06:35,470 --> 01:06:37,030
words here.
I think he is probably their
1217
01:06:37,030 --> 01:06:39,870
best defender.
Yeah, he's a he's a pretty elite
1218
01:06:39,870 --> 01:06:42,550
pass rusher.
You know he'll get after the
1219
01:06:42,550 --> 01:06:45,790
quarterback really well.
He's not overly impactful in
1220
01:06:45,790 --> 01:06:49,550
space or in coverage.
They don't deploy him in that
1221
01:06:49,550 --> 01:06:51,990
very often.
He is primarily a pass rushing
1222
01:06:51,990 --> 01:06:56,030
edge defender, but he holds up,
holds up on backside containment
1223
01:06:56,030 --> 01:06:57,670
in the run game.
So he's not necessarily a
1224
01:06:57,670 --> 01:07:00,430
weakness in the run game.
He's just not great in space or
1225
01:07:00,430 --> 01:07:03,630
in coverage.
But his pass rushes is is solid
1226
01:07:03,630 --> 01:07:06,310
across the board.
He's going to, he'll play with
1227
01:07:06,310 --> 01:07:08,790
his alignment, they'll they'll
kind of send him inside, keep
1228
01:07:08,790 --> 01:07:12,070
him on the edge, kind of mix and
match him in there with
1229
01:07:12,070 --> 01:07:14,310
depending on whether they go
with that stack in the nickel or
1230
01:07:14,310 --> 01:07:16,830
whether they're running out of
the the the 3-4 base.
1231
01:07:16,830 --> 01:07:20,270
So he's going to be on the field
and getting after the the passer
1232
01:07:20,310 --> 01:07:24,940
regardless.
Anything on him, Shelton?
1233
01:07:24,940 --> 01:07:29,060
Were you able to dig up?
Yeah, which, which one we're
1234
01:07:29,060 --> 01:07:31,740
talking about?
We are talking about Kydron
1235
01:07:32,260 --> 01:07:35,140
Jenkins, the outside linebacker.
Jenkins.
1236
01:07:36,140 --> 01:07:37,580
No, I don't have anything on
Jenkins.
1237
01:07:37,620 --> 01:07:41,380
I will say though with regards
to their linebacking core, their
1238
01:07:41,380 --> 01:07:46,340
MLB OC brothers had a forty
grade from PFF last year which
1239
01:07:46,340 --> 01:07:49,620
was the 4th worst among all
Power 5 linebackers.
1240
01:07:50,100 --> 01:07:52,540
So we look at the lineback
course a whole, the defense as a
1241
01:07:52,540 --> 01:07:54,070
whole.
It was not great.
1242
01:07:54,070 --> 01:07:56,150
They got some young players in
there, some guys that you know
1243
01:07:56,150 --> 01:07:58,350
turn to different programs where
they didn't really excel.
1244
01:07:59,070 --> 01:08:01,630
Obviously as as we talked about
it's it's a defense that's
1245
01:08:01,630 --> 01:08:05,310
really work in progress.
Alrighty, Who's our next one,
1246
01:08:05,310 --> 01:08:07,710
Tally?
We got Markevius.
1247
01:08:07,710 --> 01:08:12,390
Markevius Brown is a cornerback
out of high school.
1248
01:08:12,390 --> 01:08:18,109
He came from IMG Academy.
He was a composite 4 star that
1249
01:08:18,430 --> 01:08:21,950
started his career at Ole Miss.
He had office from.
1250
01:08:22,550 --> 01:08:28,470
Everywhere Alabama, Arkansas,
Auburn, FIU Had over 20 offers
1251
01:08:28,470 --> 01:08:32,430
coming out of high school, went
to Ole Miss and has transferred
1252
01:08:32,430 --> 01:08:40,029
to Purdue Now he is a five 11180
pound quarterback.
1253
01:08:40,470 --> 01:08:44,430
Last week he had I think 9
tackles.
1254
01:08:44,830 --> 01:08:49,750
He was the 2nd leading tackler.
Let me make sure I'm telling you
1255
01:08:49,750 --> 01:08:51,550
that right, Brian.
I don't want a lot to, you know,
1256
01:08:52,149 --> 01:08:53,710
a lot to be a.
Lot to him, he.
1257
01:08:53,950 --> 01:08:59,910
Was the he had nine tacos last
week, 1 Taco for loss behind
1258
01:09:00,069 --> 01:09:02,189
another guy that we're going to
talk about with Curtis here in
1259
01:09:02,189 --> 01:09:05,029
just a little bit.
But yes, seems to be a pretty
1260
01:09:05,029 --> 01:09:06,470
good player.
Brian, what you got on him?
1261
01:09:07,430 --> 01:09:09,710
Yeah, he's their best man
defender and you talked about
1262
01:09:09,710 --> 01:09:11,510
the offers.
I believe we were one of those
1263
01:09:11,510 --> 01:09:15,350
offers in there because I I
remember seeing this name a few
1264
01:09:15,350 --> 01:09:21,729
years back on on our list.
So has good speed, not afraid to
1265
01:09:21,729 --> 01:09:23,810
be a little physical.
You can see that by, you know
1266
01:09:24,010 --> 01:09:26,130
getting getting a pretty good
tackle count in there.
1267
01:09:27,649 --> 01:09:30,569
But he can get caught kind of
watching the action in the
1268
01:09:30,569 --> 01:09:35,370
backfield, watching the action
that kind of is moving in front
1269
01:09:35,370 --> 01:09:37,529
of him.
So sometimes that can catch him
1270
01:09:37,529 --> 01:09:39,890
a little bit on aisle and let a
man get behind him.
1271
01:09:39,890 --> 01:09:43,170
But overall, good, good
cornerback for definitely the
1272
01:09:43,170 --> 01:09:46,529
best pure cover guy that they
have in the secondary.
1273
01:09:46,529 --> 01:09:49,700
And I know Sheldon has something
he wants to add here as well on
1274
01:09:49,700 --> 01:09:52,660
the step side.
Yeah, so it was not good for him
1275
01:09:52,660 --> 01:09:56,860
in coverage against Fresno, he
was 8 for 12 when targeted for
1276
01:09:56,860 --> 01:10:00,340
84 yards and a touchdown.
So it's kind of a small sample
1277
01:10:00,340 --> 01:10:02,340
size For his career.
He just hasn't really had as
1278
01:10:02,340 --> 01:10:06,300
many targets as you know, as a
lot of other guys.
1279
01:10:06,300 --> 01:10:08,660
But that's a pretty big red flag
right there.
1280
01:10:09,540 --> 01:10:13,300
Well, that does say a lot, but
you know, 8 for 12, I mean you.
1281
01:10:13,300 --> 01:10:15,220
You take a look at the data
points though.
1282
01:10:15,740 --> 01:10:19,700
Mikey King went 31 for 44.
Mikey King's Fresno's
1283
01:10:19,700 --> 01:10:24,140
quarterback, he lift them up for
right over 350 yards, 4
1284
01:10:24,140 --> 01:10:28,620
touchdowns and only one pick.
So I do think that they have
1285
01:10:28,740 --> 01:10:32,380
more than one hole in the
secondary and one of the guys
1286
01:10:32,380 --> 01:10:34,660
we're going to talk about next,
which is Dylan Thieman.
1287
01:10:36,230 --> 01:10:39,190
He was the leading tackler last
week at this game.
1288
01:10:39,190 --> 01:10:42,070
He had 10 total tackles and an
interception.
1289
01:10:42,630 --> 01:10:46,470
Femen, if we take a look just at
his background, he was a 87 for
1290
01:10:46,470 --> 01:10:50,270
247.
He was a class of 2023.
1291
01:10:50,270 --> 01:10:53,710
So this guy is a true freshman
out there at approximately 6
1292
01:10:53,710 --> 01:10:56,990
feet tall, 205 pound out of
Carmel IN at Westfield High
1293
01:10:56,990 --> 01:10:59,390
School.
So.
1294
01:11:00,470 --> 01:11:02,190
So we talked about Brown
struggling.
1295
01:11:02,190 --> 01:11:04,790
They got a true freshman playing
free safety.
1296
01:11:06,870 --> 01:11:08,910
Brian, what are you seeing from
him?
1297
01:11:09,430 --> 01:11:12,550
And I think we're about to
Shelton just did it with the
1298
01:11:12,550 --> 01:11:16,390
stats and we're starting to hear
this thing come about their back
1299
01:11:16,390 --> 01:11:19,270
end.
Yeah, I mean this guy covers
1300
01:11:19,270 --> 01:11:21,470
ground well.
He, he does a good job of
1301
01:11:21,470 --> 01:11:24,350
getting around and flying around
making plays when he's able to
1302
01:11:24,350 --> 01:11:29,030
kind of sit back in coverage.
He does not do a good job when
1303
01:11:29,030 --> 01:11:32,270
he's any any any sort of man
responsibility or having to
1304
01:11:32,270 --> 01:11:35,760
cover in the box.
Definitely a guy that just wants
1305
01:11:35,760 --> 01:11:41,920
to be that that that deep free.
And and I think that may just be
1306
01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:44,360
the fact that he's a true
freshman and if you put him in
1307
01:11:44,360 --> 01:11:47,800
that deep free he can just kind
of read and react not a whole
1308
01:11:47,800 --> 01:11:49,320
lot of additional
responsibilities.
1309
01:11:49,320 --> 01:11:53,160
So he excels there where what he
doesn't excel at is kind of
1310
01:11:53,160 --> 01:11:56,240
pretty much everything else.
But he does tackle well if he
1311
01:11:56,240 --> 01:11:59,520
fits up pretty good and gets
guys to the ground, but it's
1312
01:11:59,520 --> 01:12:03,320
just a little suspect in the
other areas of playing safety
1313
01:12:03,320 --> 01:12:08,040
right now.
Yeah, and on him, he had 10
1314
01:12:08,040 --> 01:12:09,960
tackles.
I don't know if we said that.
1315
01:12:09,960 --> 01:12:15,200
So between him and Brown, that
was 19 tackles, 1st and 2nd
1316
01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:20,320
tackler on the team last week
came from your secondary.
1317
01:12:21,120 --> 01:12:24,600
One or two things that throwing
the ball on your lot or your
1318
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:27,000
linebackers and your line are
not tackling people.
1319
01:12:28,320 --> 01:12:32,050
Yeah, and Fresno didn't run the
ball very well, so it was the
1320
01:12:32,050 --> 01:12:33,650
former.
There you go.
1321
01:12:34,090 --> 01:12:38,250
So Speaking of a line, next guy
we'll talk about is there big
1322
01:12:38,250 --> 01:12:45,130
nose tackle, You got Cole
Brevard, he is a six foot three,
1323
01:12:46,010 --> 01:12:52,370
��333 or ��335 nose guard or nose
tackle.
1324
01:12:52,370 --> 01:12:57,290
Excuse me, he is.
He transferred from Penn State.
1325
01:12:57,770 --> 01:13:01,240
He had big offers from.
A lot of places, Florida State,
1326
01:13:01,240 --> 01:13:04,760
Clemson, Notre Dame, he
transferred there.
1327
01:13:05,040 --> 01:13:08,440
I was looking, didn't find any
stats from last week on him.
1328
01:13:08,720 --> 01:13:13,840
So he's probably just a big gap
filler, somebody there to not
1329
01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:16,800
let people RP up the middle like
ODU was doing against us.
1330
01:13:17,240 --> 01:13:20,080
So what you got on him, Brian?
Yeah, you pretty much hit the
1331
01:13:20,080 --> 01:13:22,040
nail on the head there.
And I'll I'll say this before we
1332
01:13:22,040 --> 01:13:24,320
get into the the specifics of
his game.
1333
01:13:25,250 --> 01:13:28,250
He was one of those guys, the
Penn State transfer where
1334
01:13:28,610 --> 01:13:32,090
everybody on the timelines like
we got to get this guy, we got
1335
01:13:32,090 --> 01:13:33,890
to get this guy, he's a pride
defensive player.
1336
01:13:33,890 --> 01:13:38,250
We got to get this guy.
You know he ended up at Perdue,
1337
01:13:38,690 --> 01:13:40,050
we didn't get him.
He ended up Perdue.
1338
01:13:41,650 --> 01:13:44,610
He's a two gap nose.
I mean he's he's in that 3-4,
1339
01:13:45,450 --> 01:13:48,250
classic space heater, good motor
overall.
1340
01:13:50,400 --> 01:13:54,640
He will get replaced by another
guy named Joe Anderson when they
1341
01:13:54,640 --> 01:13:59,240
go to their nickel set, who's
more of a pass rush specialist,
1342
01:13:59,800 --> 01:14:03,000
really a defensive end that they
kind of just slide into to be a
1343
01:14:03,200 --> 01:14:07,200
a pass rushing nose.
But Cole, definitely he he eats
1344
01:14:07,200 --> 01:14:09,240
space.
He does a good job of kind of
1345
01:14:09,640 --> 01:14:12,720
taking up two blockers on a lot
of plays.
1346
01:14:12,720 --> 01:14:15,680
So he's somebody that you got to
handle and like we said we
1347
01:14:15,680 --> 01:14:16,760
struggled to get to the second
level.
1348
01:14:16,760 --> 01:14:18,920
We're going to have to be better
at that this week against this
1349
01:14:18,920 --> 01:14:22,760
guy.
Sheldon, before we kind of close
1350
01:14:22,760 --> 01:14:26,640
it out here, any additional
stats, any additional data
1351
01:14:26,640 --> 01:14:30,280
points you're seeing on the
Purdue, Purdue defense that we
1352
01:14:30,280 --> 01:14:35,040
should know about that might be
helpful to the Hokies going into
1353
01:14:35,040 --> 01:14:36,800
Saturday?
Yeah.
1354
01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:39,440
So just looking at their team in
general and kind of performance.
1355
01:14:39,440 --> 01:14:42,320
So there's a stack called
Expected Points Added, or more
1356
01:14:42,320 --> 01:14:44,860
commonly known as EPA.
It's basically like an
1357
01:14:44,900 --> 01:14:47,460
analytically correct version of
yards per play, just takes into
1358
01:14:47,460 --> 01:14:50,500
account field position, down
distance, et cetera, et cetera.
1359
01:14:51,940 --> 01:14:56,100
So EPA freshman state finished
in 90th percentile in EPA for
1360
01:14:56,100 --> 01:14:57,860
games this year against against
Purdue.
1361
01:14:58,460 --> 01:15:01,220
Purdue not quite as explosive
offensively.
1362
01:15:01,660 --> 01:15:04,660
They did have more yards per
play, the bluemakers did, but
1363
01:15:04,660 --> 01:15:08,220
the reason that FFC won the game
ultimately was because they had
1364
01:15:08,220 --> 01:15:10,420
a higher success rate,
especially on 3rd down.
1365
01:15:10,420 --> 01:15:14,240
They were 60% on 3rd down.
So that's an indication probably
1366
01:15:14,240 --> 01:15:16,800
that you know they're they're
they're doing well on 1st and
1367
01:15:16,800 --> 01:15:19,120
2nd down they're getting easy
third down opportunities.
1368
01:15:20,160 --> 01:15:25,320
I would say for those who are
Virginia Tech fans who look at
1369
01:15:25,320 --> 01:15:27,880
that result and say Oh well
pretty loss of President State
1370
01:15:27,880 --> 01:15:30,880
they must not be all that good.
Let's let's hold up for a second
1371
01:15:30,880 --> 01:15:32,120
if.
Virginia Tech.
1372
01:15:32,440 --> 01:15:34,800
If Virginia Tech were to play
President State on a neutral
1373
01:15:34,800 --> 01:15:38,400
field tomorrow, they would be 4
point underdogs, is my guess.
1374
01:15:38,870 --> 01:15:42,470
So that's that's not a game
where you can really say like
1375
01:15:42,470 --> 01:15:44,870
yeah, we're going to beat that
team, it's going to be really
1376
01:15:44,870 --> 01:15:47,390
close to match up and if if
Attack and Purdue were to play
1377
01:15:47,390 --> 01:15:49,350
in a Nutrifield tomorrow, it
would be a toss up.
1378
01:15:49,590 --> 01:15:52,830
So it's not, you know, you can't
look at, you can't really read
1379
01:15:52,830 --> 01:15:55,030
too much into that game, really.
You really can't.
1380
01:15:55,030 --> 01:15:57,950
And Fresno State was a good team
last year, so they were turning
1381
01:15:57,950 --> 01:16:01,550
9 guys on defense.
They won 10 games last year.
1382
01:16:02,070 --> 01:16:04,430
They in fact they won the
Mountain West, right?
1383
01:16:05,110 --> 01:16:07,290
Did I make that up, Sheldon?
They won the mountain.
1384
01:16:07,770 --> 01:16:09,570
Or did Boise win the Mountain
West last year?
1385
01:16:10,050 --> 01:16:11,850
No, Boise, yes President won the
mountain.
1386
01:16:12,130 --> 01:16:16,210
They won the Mountain West last
year, so yeah, they are.
1387
01:16:16,330 --> 01:16:21,050
They did play a very good team.
So what are the Hokies going to
1388
01:16:21,050 --> 01:16:25,570
have to do to win this game?
I'm going to let Brian start us
1389
01:16:25,570 --> 01:16:28,810
out here.
Brian, give us one of the keys
1390
01:16:28,810 --> 01:16:33,290
to a hokey victory on Saturday.
Yeah, the biggest one is that
1391
01:16:33,290 --> 01:16:34,650
we've got to settle down
quicker.
1392
01:16:34,650 --> 01:16:39,430
We can't have that one quarter
of sleepwalking that we saw
1393
01:16:39,710 --> 01:16:42,470
against ODU, especially on the
offensive side of the ball.
1394
01:16:43,510 --> 01:16:48,950
This needs to be more of a game
like we saw with Boston College
1395
01:16:48,950 --> 01:16:51,790
last year at home where we kind
of got out there early, made a
1396
01:16:51,790 --> 01:16:54,990
couple plays on defense, made a
couple good plays on offense,
1397
01:16:55,310 --> 01:16:58,590
get a little bit of a lead and
then kind of put the pressure on
1398
01:16:58,590 --> 01:17:00,750
them to have to play a little
catch up.
1399
01:17:00,750 --> 01:17:03,470
I think that's the the recipe
for success here.
1400
01:17:04,790 --> 01:17:06,350
All right, Tally, what do you
think?
1401
01:17:06,350 --> 01:17:08,710
What's a hokey key?
Yeah, I'll say, you know,
1402
01:17:08,710 --> 01:17:11,750
usually I try to be a little bit
more conservative, but I'm going
1403
01:17:11,750 --> 01:17:16,110
to let let your nuts hang, you
know, let your nuts hang.
1404
01:17:16,310 --> 01:17:19,790
Brett Pry, you have wide
receivers that I don't think
1405
01:17:19,790 --> 01:17:23,150
that they can guard.
We need to pass to set up the
1406
01:17:23,150 --> 01:17:25,510
run.
Looks like we were running to
1407
01:17:25,510 --> 01:17:27,550
set up the pass in this pass
game.
1408
01:17:27,950 --> 01:17:31,470
I think hey, let it fly.
Find those receipt was early,
1409
01:17:31,710 --> 01:17:35,190
spread them out, take a a page
out of ODU's book, spread it
1410
01:17:35,190 --> 01:17:38,710
out, don't have them so close so
we can hit some of these running
1411
01:17:38,710 --> 01:17:40,710
lanes.
I think if we do that early in
1412
01:17:40,710 --> 01:17:44,710
the first quarter, I think we'll
put them in, in in in a little
1413
01:17:44,710 --> 01:17:48,270
bit of a discomfort area fairly
quickly.
1414
01:17:48,750 --> 01:17:50,110
Got it.
Shelton, what about you?
1415
01:17:51,030 --> 01:17:53,390
For me, the biggest thing is
just try to shut down Dion
1416
01:17:53,390 --> 01:17:55,030
Burks.
I think he's by far the biggest
1417
01:17:55,030 --> 01:17:57,110
playmaker.
I'm not too concerned about
1418
01:17:57,110 --> 01:17:58,990
Purdue's run game.
I mean, we'll see how it all
1419
01:17:58,990 --> 01:18:01,360
plays out.
But also you you just got to get
1420
01:18:01,360 --> 01:18:03,680
pressure on Hudson Card.
I mentioned the pressure stats
1421
01:18:03,680 --> 01:18:05,440
from from their game against
Fresno.
1422
01:18:05,840 --> 01:18:08,560
The offensive line has a lot of
weak points, so if you get
1423
01:18:08,560 --> 01:18:12,680
pressure on him, Card really,
really struggles throwing from
1424
01:18:12,680 --> 01:18:14,840
pressure.
If you can get to the key, BI
1425
01:18:14,840 --> 01:18:16,560
think you'll have a you have a
really good chance of winning.
1426
01:18:16,560 --> 01:18:19,000
And I think tech will take
advantage of a very shoddy
1427
01:18:19,080 --> 01:18:22,200
Purdue defense.
I'm with Sheldon.
1428
01:18:22,200 --> 01:18:23,960
I think you don't let Clark find
a rhythm.
1429
01:18:23,960 --> 01:18:26,040
We know how Air Raid offenses
work is when they get in the
1430
01:18:26,040 --> 01:18:27,440
rhythm.
Where they popping you on
1431
01:18:27,800 --> 01:18:30,080
lateral passes?
Short, quick routes.
1432
01:18:30,080 --> 01:18:34,160
Eventually it opens up up top
and make a move, make a move,
1433
01:18:34,160 --> 01:18:38,040
get him uncomfortable.
Apr and the Crew go out there,
1434
01:18:38,200 --> 01:18:41,160
make a move and you said you're
not worried about their run
1435
01:18:41,160 --> 01:18:44,880
game, make it non existent.
Because an air A-Team like this,
1436
01:18:44,960 --> 01:18:47,320
if they get that little bit of
run game going, go back to West
1437
01:18:47,320 --> 01:18:49,880
Virginia.
Last year they got that run game
1438
01:18:49,880 --> 01:18:52,630
going.
It wore down us and then they
1439
01:18:52,630 --> 01:18:55,230
were able to start popping
passes later in the game.
1440
01:18:55,230 --> 01:18:58,350
So kind of a combination of
there of a different number of
1441
01:18:58,350 --> 01:19:01,230
things we are talking about for
some hokey keys.
1442
01:19:01,510 --> 01:19:04,710
But now it is prediction time.
Brian is really excited
1443
01:19:04,710 --> 01:19:06,750
everybody.
He's been working on this all
1444
01:19:06,750 --> 01:19:08,830
week.
Bring up the big board.
1445
01:19:09,070 --> 01:19:12,750
Not only the prediction for the
hokey game, but we also have our
1446
01:19:12,750 --> 01:19:16,130
big screeners here.
Hey, y'all better read this
1447
01:19:16,130 --> 01:19:16,810
week.
Shit.
1448
01:19:16,810 --> 01:19:20,250
Y'all better read, listen and
read.
1449
01:19:20,530 --> 01:19:24,690
Listen and read it's it's on the
board this time, guys.
1450
01:19:24,690 --> 01:19:28,050
It's very explicitly.
A big board that's not big.
1451
01:19:28,050 --> 01:19:34,450
This is that spread, spread.
Do y'all understand how many
1452
01:19:34,450 --> 01:19:40,930
emails in in, in in Dms that I
got from people so I could not
1453
01:19:40,930 --> 01:19:43,970
believe even after we won?
People were.
1454
01:19:44,210 --> 01:19:46,010
Still talking about they were,
they were telling.
1455
01:19:46,050 --> 01:19:47,850
You, man.
I can't believe you're the God
1456
01:19:47,850 --> 01:19:51,530
that predicted us to lose.
I was like, Oh my God, Sheldon
1457
01:19:51,530 --> 01:19:56,690
had people in his Dm's over
taking UVA to not lose by more
1458
01:19:56,690 --> 01:20:00,330
than 28.
Yeah, that was fun and.
1459
01:20:00,570 --> 01:20:02,130
Being Bronwyn four and two last
week.
1460
01:20:02,730 --> 01:20:04,570
I did horrible.
I'm scared to even pick.
1461
01:20:05,730 --> 01:20:07,170
That's the fun of it.
That's the fun of it.
1462
01:20:07,730 --> 01:20:11,210
All right, Sheldon, you were not
here last week, so you get to
1463
01:20:11,210 --> 01:20:14,230
lead the Hokie Purdue
predictions.
1464
01:20:14,230 --> 01:20:18,430
What do you have?
It's going to be a close, low
1465
01:20:18,430 --> 01:20:23,230
scoring ball game in my opinion.
I like both teams defenses more,
1466
01:20:23,230 --> 01:20:26,510
so a little bit more skeptical
of these offense, but I've got
1467
01:20:26,510 --> 01:20:30,230
the Hokies winning 20 to 17.
They will cover by the hair on
1468
01:20:30,230 --> 01:20:32,710
their chins.
That's just the way I feel.
1469
01:20:32,710 --> 01:20:35,030
I think it's going to be a low
scoring grudge match and I think
1470
01:20:35,030 --> 01:20:39,710
tech's going to come out on top.
Alrighty low score 2017.
1471
01:20:39,910 --> 01:20:43,220
Tally, what you got?
I got the Hokies taking this
1472
01:20:43,220 --> 01:20:46,980
game 35 to 24.
I think we only didn't we go
1473
01:20:46,980 --> 01:20:52,860
over 31 time last year 0 * 0
times.
1474
01:20:53,780 --> 01:20:56,540
Well the first two games of the
season we're going over 30.
1475
01:20:56,540 --> 01:21:03,380
Baby 3524 Hokie win be we all
going to be there.
1476
01:21:03,780 --> 01:21:06,660
Barry The Corner Podcast As
y'all can see, I don't have a
1477
01:21:06,660 --> 01:21:09,410
hat on this week.
Because I'm I wanted my hair to
1478
01:21:09,410 --> 01:21:12,010
breathe because I'm buying all
new hats when I get to
1479
01:21:12,010 --> 01:21:14,090
Blacksburg.
So if you're watching this,
1480
01:21:14,130 --> 01:21:17,810
y'all send me places that I can
go find cool hats, because I'm
1481
01:21:17,810 --> 01:21:21,770
going to pick up about 5 to 10
new hats and he's getting one
1482
01:21:21,770 --> 01:21:24,450
new one from me.
And I already know about that
1483
01:21:24,450 --> 01:21:26,490
way, huh?
I already know about that one.
1484
01:21:26,490 --> 01:21:28,490
I'm going to have that one on.
I'm going to have that one on
1485
01:21:28,490 --> 01:21:30,130
next week.
There we go.
1486
01:21:30,130 --> 01:21:32,090
There we go.
All right, my turn next.
1487
01:21:32,090 --> 01:21:35,930
Y'all and I'm kind of with
Tally.
1488
01:21:35,930 --> 01:21:39,310
We're we're similar scores here.
I think the Hokies are going to
1489
01:21:39,310 --> 01:21:42,510
win this game and I can see this
being a 3423 game.
1490
01:21:42,510 --> 01:21:45,270
I think we punch it in just as
much as we did last week.
1491
01:21:45,550 --> 01:21:49,710
I think prop pulls back on being
aggressive inside the 15 kicks,
1492
01:21:49,710 --> 01:21:54,270
a couple extra field goal and to
just be honest, why am I looking
1493
01:21:54,270 --> 01:21:56,590
at a team that scored 35 and
saying they're going to score
1494
01:21:56,590 --> 01:21:58,750
24?
I watched this game with Brian
1495
01:21:58,750 --> 01:22:00,990
right back here.
I'm on the I'm on the I'm on the
1496
01:22:00,990 --> 01:22:02,950
easy chair.
Brian's kick back on the couch.
1497
01:22:04,360 --> 01:22:07,640
Effectively, Purdue had two
sustained drives to score
1498
01:22:07,640 --> 01:22:09,600
touchdown.
They were in a kickoff return
1499
01:22:09,600 --> 01:22:11,720
back.
They had the 84 yard bomb tally
1500
01:22:11,720 --> 01:22:14,280
mentioned earlier.
The other 44 yard play to
1501
01:22:14,280 --> 01:22:15,040
Burke's.
Guess what?
1502
01:22:15,040 --> 01:22:18,800
That set up a 10 yard run.
They had two sustained drives
1503
01:22:18,800 --> 01:22:20,960
for touchdowns.
That's why the Hokies and the
1504
01:22:20,960 --> 01:22:25,080
defense get it right.
Brian, are you as optimistic as
1505
01:22:25,080 --> 01:22:27,250
we are?
Yeah, I'm right on board there.
1506
01:22:27,890 --> 01:22:31,090
I've got the Hokey's pulling out
A1 score victory here.
1507
01:22:31,530 --> 01:22:33,370
I think the offense is going to
keep going.
1508
01:22:33,370 --> 01:22:35,970
I think we're going to pit a
little bit and as Tally
1509
01:22:35,970 --> 01:22:38,490
mentioned that let the past set
up the run a little bit.
1510
01:22:38,490 --> 01:22:42,450
Kind of start with the the Duts
hanging out there and leaning on
1511
01:22:42,450 --> 01:22:45,850
your strength a little bit.
I think our defense does a a
1512
01:22:45,850 --> 01:22:47,450
good job of shutting down the
run.
1513
01:22:47,450 --> 01:22:50,450
I think we still do lets you
know Burks get a little bit of
1514
01:22:50,450 --> 01:22:53,130
action done, but they're not
going to quite do what they did
1515
01:22:53,130 --> 01:22:55,480
against a Fresno.
I think we're a little bit
1516
01:22:55,480 --> 01:22:57,080
better in the secondary than
they are.
1517
01:22:57,640 --> 01:23:04,880
I got a final score here of 3124
Hokies, 3124 Hokies.
1518
01:23:05,280 --> 01:23:07,080
So there we go.
We're all picking the Hokies.
1519
01:23:07,080 --> 01:23:10,120
We're all on the optimistic
train after the ODU game.
1520
01:23:10,240 --> 01:23:15,320
I hope it holds to fruition.
Even though all of us are going
1521
01:23:15,320 --> 01:23:19,520
to be in Blacksburg, we still
are putting up the big screeners
1522
01:23:19,600 --> 01:23:22,770
because probably we're gonna be
catching some of these, whether
1523
01:23:22,770 --> 01:23:25,210
we're sitting at a hotel,
friends houses, maybe the bar
1524
01:23:25,210 --> 01:23:28,210
after the game, but we've got
and well.
1525
01:23:28,330 --> 01:23:29,410
Really.
That cell service?
1526
01:23:29,410 --> 01:23:31,250
You can pick up a game in the
stadium now.
1527
01:23:32,010 --> 01:23:33,850
Is it that good?
Now no.
1528
01:23:34,930 --> 01:23:38,010
Don't get your hopes done.
You can get a tweet out.
1529
01:23:38,010 --> 01:23:41,490
You can get a tweet out now.
So I guess that's better than
1530
01:23:42,530 --> 01:23:44,650
what we've been doing with where
you couldn't get a text out.
1531
01:23:44,650 --> 01:23:48,020
So all right, well, let's talk
about our big screeners here.
1532
01:23:48,180 --> 01:23:52,660
So the first one here is going
to be Mr. Brian selection.
1533
01:23:52,660 --> 01:23:56,340
Brian is looking at Tulane
versus Ole Miss.
1534
01:23:56,900 --> 01:23:59,860
This is a 330 kick.
So when we potentially could
1535
01:23:59,860 --> 01:24:03,460
catch downtown after the Hokies
play Ole Miss.
1536
01:24:03,460 --> 01:24:07,180
Currently 7 1/2 point favorites.
What you got on this one, Brian?
1537
01:24:08,860 --> 01:24:11,460
Man, I just like this matchup.
I think this is going to be a
1538
01:24:11,460 --> 01:24:13,900
very intriguing matchup across
the board.
1539
01:24:15,800 --> 01:24:20,760
You know, I like Ole Miss, but I
think Tulane is going to have
1540
01:24:20,760 --> 01:24:24,920
just enough here to make this a
really tight when a little
1541
01:24:24,920 --> 01:24:28,040
squeaker down the stretch.
So I've got Ole Miss winning,
1542
01:24:28,120 --> 01:24:32,040
but I've got two lane in the
seven and a half there.
1543
01:24:32,040 --> 01:24:36,240
So I'll put two lane here on the
on the board and Brian, I'm I'm
1544
01:24:36,240 --> 01:24:37,400
right with you on that.
I think.
1545
01:24:37,560 --> 01:24:39,920
I think this is going to be a
highly entertaining game to
1546
01:24:39,920 --> 01:24:41,680
watch.
I think both these offenses can
1547
01:24:41,680 --> 01:24:44,480
move the ball.
I do think Ole Miss sneaks it.
1548
01:24:44,560 --> 01:24:49,360
Probably three to six points,
but two lane covers tally.
1549
01:24:49,800 --> 01:24:51,520
What about two schools down your
way?
1550
01:24:51,880 --> 01:24:54,160
Yeah, I'm going to say Ole Miss
is going to go ahead and take
1551
01:24:54,160 --> 01:24:58,800
this 1-2 Lane may have a cool
mascot.
1552
01:24:58,800 --> 01:25:01,360
I just don't think they're going
to have enough to win or cover.
1553
01:25:02,240 --> 01:25:04,200
All righty, Ole Miss there,
Sheldon.
1554
01:25:05,680 --> 01:25:11,640
Yeah, look, Ole Miss put up 73
points against Mercer the other
1555
01:25:11,640 --> 01:25:13,840
day.
Now I understand it's Mercer,
1556
01:25:13,840 --> 01:25:18,400
FCS, blah, blah, blah.
But I watched FCS football, so I
1557
01:25:18,400 --> 01:25:20,440
feel someone qualified to say
Mercer is a good team.
1558
01:25:20,440 --> 01:25:23,040
They've got a good defense and
73 points, 73 points.
1559
01:25:23,040 --> 01:25:25,680
So give me Ole Miss.
I'm taking the points by the
1560
01:25:25,680 --> 01:25:27,960
way, when we probably should be
looking at on this.
1561
01:25:27,960 --> 01:25:29,920
Go ahead and put Sheldon's up
there.
1562
01:25:29,920 --> 01:25:34,040
Ole Miss cover.
The Over Under is only 66 1/2 on
1563
01:25:34,040 --> 01:25:37,450
this game.
That just seems criminally low
1564
01:25:37,650 --> 01:25:42,050
because Tulane last week dropped
37 in their opening game.
1565
01:25:42,210 --> 01:25:46,170
So there's our bets.
But look at the over under 66
1566
01:25:46,170 --> 01:25:47,610
1/2.
I think we'll probably shoot up
1567
01:25:47,610 --> 01:25:51,450
to 74 game day.
All right, let's go out West.
1568
01:25:51,570 --> 01:25:55,250
This is Tally's pick for the
week team in his home state.
1569
01:25:55,290 --> 01:25:58,570
Auburn versus Cal.
Auburn on the road playing a
1570
01:25:58,570 --> 01:26:00,850
1030 game.
Tally's going to be passed out
1571
01:26:00,850 --> 01:26:04,410
at the hotel trying to watch
this Auburn 6 1/2 point
1572
01:26:04,410 --> 01:26:05,650
favorites.
Tyler, what you got?
1573
01:26:06,170 --> 01:26:09,010
Man, I was a little skeptical
about Auburn going all the way
1574
01:26:09,010 --> 01:26:14,450
across the across the globe over
here to go play Kyle, our new,
1575
01:26:14,810 --> 01:26:18,330
our new ACC mates over there.
So I thought this was an
1576
01:26:18,330 --> 01:26:22,730
intriguing matchup.
I was very close to taking Kyle,
1577
01:26:22,730 --> 01:26:25,970
but I'm going to take Auburn in
that in that matchup.
1578
01:26:25,970 --> 01:26:28,770
I know a couple of guys that's
down there playing in Auburn and
1579
01:26:28,770 --> 01:26:31,810
I got to watch them, got to
watch that game.
1580
01:26:32,350 --> 01:26:35,110
This weekend they've got a
freshman named Jeremiah Cobb.
1581
01:26:35,430 --> 01:26:40,190
If you guys haven't seen him
play, he was a four-star out of
1582
01:26:40,430 --> 01:26:43,750
Montgomery Catholic.
My first cousin is was his high
1583
01:26:43,750 --> 01:26:46,110
school coach.
He is a phenomenal athlete.
1584
01:26:46,470 --> 01:26:50,430
Think he had maybe about 60
yards and a touchdown in this
1585
01:26:50,430 --> 01:26:53,350
past weekend.
So Jeremiah Cobb y'all go check
1586
01:26:53,350 --> 01:26:54,870
them out Auburn.
I think they're going to take
1587
01:26:54,870 --> 01:26:56,790
this one.
All right, Auburn takes in
1588
01:26:56,790 --> 01:26:58,350
cover.
Sheldon, what you got on this
1589
01:26:58,350 --> 01:27:01,760
one?
Last week, the PAC 12 went
1590
01:27:01,800 --> 01:27:04,160
undefeated in nonconference
play.
1591
01:27:04,480 --> 01:27:07,320
Now some people look at that set
and say, well, the PAC 12 must
1592
01:27:07,320 --> 01:27:09,080
be back.
I would look at that set and say
1593
01:27:09,160 --> 01:27:10,720
regression to the mean is
coming.
1594
01:27:11,080 --> 01:27:15,160
So with that being said, the
analyst in me will take Auburn
1595
01:27:15,240 --> 01:27:19,080
to give the PAC 12 a little dose
of reality.
1596
01:27:20,200 --> 01:27:23,520
Alrighty.
Go and put mine up there, Brian.
1597
01:27:26,160 --> 01:27:27,240
I'm with them.
I just.
1598
01:27:27,960 --> 01:27:29,160
I know.
I know that.
1599
01:27:29,480 --> 01:27:34,000
I heard that's that too.
What was it Saturday night PAC
1600
01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:39,840
1213 and O 14 and O in play.
I just, you know, Hugh Freeze
1601
01:27:39,840 --> 01:27:41,600
coming there.
I just don't see that.
1602
01:27:41,600 --> 01:27:43,400
I think Auburn probably gets
slow.
1603
01:27:46,960 --> 01:27:49,280
Hold on before I finish my
statement here.
1604
01:27:49,480 --> 01:27:50,960
King Leo.
Virginia Tech.
1605
01:27:56,170 --> 01:27:58,530
Let me put that one down.
I think.
1606
01:27:58,530 --> 01:28:01,090
I mean Auburn.
Might pretty good, pretty good.
1607
01:28:01,090 --> 01:28:04,050
Auburn might get to a slow
start, but I think eventually
1608
01:28:04,050 --> 01:28:06,770
the talent will take over and I
think they will easily cover the
1609
01:28:06,770 --> 01:28:10,410
six and a half.
Yeah, I'm right there with you
1610
01:28:10,410 --> 01:28:16,210
War Eagle bitches.
I think that, you know, Cal
1611
01:28:16,210 --> 01:28:18,490
scored a lot of points against
the Mean Green out there in
1612
01:28:18,490 --> 01:28:22,550
North Texas, but I think that.
You know Hugh Freeze is going to
1613
01:28:22,550 --> 01:28:25,870
have a game plan for that.
I think there's going to be a
1614
01:28:25,870 --> 01:28:28,190
pretty decently high scoring
game and I think Auburn's going
1615
01:28:28,190 --> 01:28:29,990
to cover in the end.
So yeah, I'm taking Auburn as
1616
01:28:29,990 --> 01:28:31,750
well.
All righty.
1617
01:28:31,750 --> 01:28:35,630
All right, we flipped down to
Waco and Shelton's big Screener
1618
01:28:35,630 --> 01:28:38,510
of the Week, although it's going
to be going on during the game,
1619
01:28:38,510 --> 01:28:42,110
so he we better have good sale
service so Shelton can watch the
1620
01:28:42,310 --> 01:28:45,910
game.
Little Screener, Utah, Baylor,
1621
01:28:45,910 --> 01:28:49,830
Utah Rd.
Favorite 7 1/2 points.
1622
01:28:50,940 --> 01:28:52,420
Yeah, this is an interesting
matchup.
1623
01:28:52,420 --> 01:28:55,780
You've got a Baylor team that
just saw Blitz Creek from Texas
1624
01:28:55,780 --> 01:28:58,180
State the other week.
They've got a hot shot offensive
1625
01:28:58,180 --> 01:29:01,260
coordinator and head coach that
put up 42 points.
1626
01:29:01,540 --> 01:29:03,460
So they were looking for a
bounce back season.
1627
01:29:03,740 --> 01:29:07,300
Haven't quite gotten it so far.
And then Utah won against
1628
01:29:07,300 --> 01:29:09,250
Florida.
With their backup quarterback
1629
01:29:09,250 --> 01:29:12,290
Kim Rising, still out with an
injury as he's recovering from
1630
01:29:12,290 --> 01:29:15,290
that that a CL tear.
That being said, I think Utah's
1631
01:29:15,290 --> 01:29:17,410
got a really a really
well-rounded team.
1632
01:29:17,730 --> 01:29:20,170
They're playing at home.
I'll take the Utes to start the
1633
01:29:20,170 --> 01:29:24,890
Season 2 and O alrighty tally,
What do you got on this one?
1634
01:29:25,330 --> 01:29:28,490
You don't watch Utah kick
Florida's ass all over the
1635
01:29:28,490 --> 01:29:30,610
field.
I'm going to take Utah.
1636
01:29:30,810 --> 01:29:33,330
I don't got no analytics.
I don't got all the shelve, Made
1637
01:29:33,330 --> 01:29:35,010
it sound cool.
I'm just going to say you talk
1638
01:29:35,010 --> 01:29:39,310
of they whoop Florida's ass they
did with Florida that Brian.
1639
01:29:40,990 --> 01:29:43,030
I'm I'm sticking with our team
here.
1640
01:29:43,030 --> 01:29:46,230
I'm going with Utah.
I think Utah is probably one of
1641
01:29:46,230 --> 01:29:48,830
the eight best teams in the
country especially once they get
1642
01:29:49,590 --> 01:29:53,710
back to full strength there.
I like the way that they handled
1643
01:29:53,710 --> 01:29:56,430
Florida.
I was expecting that.
1644
01:29:56,550 --> 01:29:59,270
Yeah I I I picked them last week
but I was expecting a little bit
1645
01:29:59,270 --> 01:30:02,430
of a of a tighter matchup they
they really handled Florida
1646
01:30:02,430 --> 01:30:04,470
pretty well.
So give me the youths.
1647
01:30:07,020 --> 01:30:09,660
We are in agreement.
Again, I'm on Utah on this one
1648
01:30:09,660 --> 01:30:11,660
as well.
Lay the seven and a half.
1649
01:30:12,540 --> 01:30:15,820
I think the offensive Utah
continues to roll and to be
1650
01:30:15,820 --> 01:30:21,300
honest, Baylor got 31 against
the Texas State last week.
1651
01:30:21,500 --> 01:30:27,860
I don't think they're seeing 15
this week 30303017 Utah.
1652
01:30:29,860 --> 01:30:31,420
Alrighty.
Oh, I'm up next.
1653
01:30:31,700 --> 01:30:33,420
You're up next.
I'm up next.
1654
01:30:33,660 --> 01:30:39,600
I pulled out the Miami versus
Texas A and M, which is a 330
1655
01:30:39,600 --> 01:30:42,520
kick which we potentially could
watch before we leave Blacksburg
1656
01:30:42,840 --> 01:30:44,640
on Saturday night.
Brian.
1657
01:30:44,760 --> 01:30:50,960
Little dinner, Little Tots rail
drive back 3 1/2 hours, Top rail
1658
01:30:50,960 --> 01:30:53,080
Tots rail 10:30.
I'm 10 minutes.
1659
01:30:53,080 --> 01:30:55,200
I'm 10 minutes away from the
field, so I'm you. 10 minutes
1660
01:30:55,200 --> 01:30:58,280
away from the field is Sheldon.
Are you driving back Saturday
1661
01:30:58,280 --> 01:31:02,130
night or you staying up?
I got drive back, Okay.
1662
01:31:02,130 --> 01:31:04,210
You gotta drive back as well.
So we're all gonna have that.
1663
01:31:04,210 --> 01:31:05,450
We're gonna catch dinner
together.
1664
01:31:05,730 --> 01:31:10,250
All right.
Miami, Texas A and M, Miami four
1665
01:31:10,250 --> 01:31:14,890
point home dog to the Aggies.
I go back to the game last year
1666
01:31:15,130 --> 01:31:18,170
where Miami probably should have
won down Texas A and M and they
1667
01:31:18,170 --> 01:31:19,990
didn't.
And I don't know.
1668
01:31:19,990 --> 01:31:21,430
I just don't believe in Jim Beau
Fisher.
1669
01:31:21,470 --> 01:31:23,790
I think he's one of the biggest
Vegas coaches out there.
1670
01:31:24,230 --> 01:31:27,190
Yes, I know what I'm just being
for real.
1671
01:31:27,190 --> 01:31:29,150
The guy's one of the fakeest
coaches out there.
1672
01:31:29,510 --> 01:31:33,390
I don't know if Miami will win,
but I think 4 is too much delay
1673
01:31:33,390 --> 01:31:36,750
to give to Miami.
Give me Miami with the points.
1674
01:31:36,750 --> 01:31:38,790
I haven't know whose clue is
going to actually win the game
1675
01:31:38,790 --> 01:31:42,910
out right, though.
All right.
1676
01:31:43,030 --> 01:31:45,110
All right.
So we got Miami up there on the
1677
01:31:45,110 --> 01:31:48,190
board.
You know what I will shock Y'all
1678
01:31:48,190 --> 01:31:51,530
a little bit.
I'm going to A and M here.
1679
01:31:56,130 --> 01:31:59,450
Yeah.
I think they getting getting
1680
01:31:59,450 --> 01:32:04,330
Connor Weidman in there.
Good first game, 18 to 23236,
1681
01:32:04,330 --> 01:32:07,530
five touchdowns.
I know it was the Lobos, but it
1682
01:32:07,530 --> 01:32:10,370
looks like the biggest thing
that they had problems with last
1683
01:32:10,370 --> 01:32:13,290
year was quarterback play.
If they figured that out then
1684
01:32:13,290 --> 01:32:15,210
that could be a somewhat
dangerous team.
1685
01:32:15,210 --> 01:32:18,490
So give me, give me, give me A
and M here.
1686
01:32:19,230 --> 01:32:22,390
All righty, Tally.
I got to go Miami, man.
1687
01:32:22,510 --> 01:32:25,670
I got to go Miami.
I just think that, you know, the
1688
01:32:25,670 --> 01:32:27,910
ACC, we have to prove something
this year.
1689
01:32:28,350 --> 01:32:30,590
SEC.
You see what Mack Brown did to
1690
01:32:30,590 --> 01:32:34,230
Shane Beamer's face.
That's what we're doing all SEC
1691
01:32:34,710 --> 01:32:37,830
opponents all year, just letting
y'all know.
1692
01:32:38,470 --> 01:32:40,630
Squeeze, grab, heard round the
world.
1693
01:32:40,990 --> 01:32:43,390
Face squeezing, mushing your
face.
1694
01:32:43,910 --> 01:32:46,640
Miami.
Now that's just what an old man
1695
01:32:46,640 --> 01:32:48,800
does to younger kids.
I mean, turn you away.
1696
01:32:48,840 --> 01:32:50,960
Yeah, she'll do you guys.
Yeah.
1697
01:32:51,840 --> 01:32:53,400
I know people are gonna say I'm
crazy.
1698
01:32:53,400 --> 01:32:57,960
I think that you was back.
They totally took Ohio to the
1699
01:32:57,960 --> 01:33:02,080
woodshed last Saturday.
I know it's a it's a Mac team.
1700
01:33:02,080 --> 01:33:03,320
But look, that was a time to
win.
1701
01:33:03,320 --> 01:33:05,320
So I'm taking Miami.
I think they're good football
1702
01:33:05,320 --> 01:33:07,520
team this year.
Alrighty.
1703
01:33:08,240 --> 01:33:08,840
Yes.
I don't trust.
1704
01:33:08,840 --> 01:33:10,360
I don't trust Jimbo either.
There you go.
1705
01:33:10,360 --> 01:33:11,920
See, it's Jimbo.
Nobody trusts him.
1706
01:33:12,000 --> 01:33:14,720
All right, there are two more on
the screen here.
1707
01:33:15,080 --> 01:33:18,000
One is probably the biggest
matchup in the A/C with
1708
01:33:18,320 --> 01:33:23,440
effectively the ACC this week in
NC State and Notre Dame.
1709
01:33:24,680 --> 01:33:29,720
And so for this one, Notre Dame,
7 1/2 point home favorite, by
1710
01:33:29,720 --> 01:33:34,440
the way.
Ole Miss or or Tulane.
1711
01:33:34,720 --> 01:33:36,630
Home dog.
Cal.
1712
01:33:36,630 --> 01:33:37,990
Home dog.
Baylor.
1713
01:33:37,990 --> 01:33:40,150
Home dog.
We got nothing but home dogs
1714
01:33:40,150 --> 01:33:44,430
here so far.
So Sheldon, no.
1715
01:33:44,670 --> 01:33:46,350
NC State.
Notre Dame.
1716
01:33:46,790 --> 01:33:51,110
Who is your pick?
Yeah, I'm taking Notre Dame, but
1717
01:33:51,110 --> 01:33:52,710
not with the hydrogate of
confidence.
1718
01:33:52,710 --> 01:33:55,310
I just like Sam Hartman.
He's a stud man.
1719
01:33:55,350 --> 01:33:57,790
I mean, he's just lit up Navy.
I know Navy's got some issues,
1720
01:33:57,790 --> 01:33:59,830
but that was a dominant
performance.
1721
01:33:59,870 --> 01:34:02,020
NC State.
I feel like the other team that
1722
01:34:02,020 --> 01:34:04,620
just kind of, you know, always
falls flat in big games.
1723
01:34:04,820 --> 01:34:06,620
So I'll take.
I'll take Notre Dame.
1724
01:34:08,780 --> 01:34:10,740
You got Tally.
Yeah, I'm going to take Notre
1725
01:34:10,740 --> 01:34:12,860
Dame in this game as well, just
like Sheldon said.
1726
01:34:12,940 --> 01:34:15,860
I've been watching Sam Hartman
for a long time.
1727
01:34:16,620 --> 01:34:18,580
Kids are stubbed, man.
I just think that they'll.
1728
01:34:19,340 --> 01:34:22,100
I wasn't too impressed with a
North Carolina State last week.
1729
01:34:22,220 --> 01:34:24,780
I mean, every week is different,
but I'm going to take Notre Dame
1730
01:34:24,780 --> 01:34:27,510
in this one.
I'm with exactly what Tally said
1731
01:34:27,510 --> 01:34:30,590
right there.
Watching NC State play UConn up
1732
01:34:30,670 --> 01:34:35,470
in Hartford, they did not look
good, especially on the
1733
01:34:35,470 --> 01:34:38,110
offensive side of the ball.
I think the defense is going to
1734
01:34:38,110 --> 01:34:41,110
be solid, but y'all just
mentioned they have Sam Hartman,
1735
01:34:41,110 --> 01:34:43,390
they have weapons, they have a
better offensive line.
1736
01:34:43,790 --> 01:34:47,110
And I think 7 1/2 is just enough
points to take because I think
1737
01:34:47,110 --> 01:34:49,670
this is like a 10 point game.
Probably entertaining.
1738
01:34:49,670 --> 01:34:53,430
Ain't going on while the Hokies
are playing, but I can't see NC
1739
01:34:53,430 --> 01:34:58,130
State.
He's keeping quite up with Notre
1740
01:34:58,130 --> 01:35:01,650
Dame.
Yeah, I'll finish this one out
1741
01:35:01,650 --> 01:35:03,370
and say I'm right there with
everybody here.
1742
01:35:04,730 --> 01:35:07,930
Some of the same reasons.
Sam Hartman I think is going to
1743
01:35:07,930 --> 01:35:11,450
be one of the Heisman finalists
this year.
1744
01:35:12,250 --> 01:35:16,010
I think he's got that level of
play with with the with the
1745
01:35:16,010 --> 01:35:18,570
offensive line play that Notre
Dame has, with the weapons that
1746
01:35:18,570 --> 01:35:20,170
they have.
I think he's going to really be
1747
01:35:20,170 --> 01:35:25,130
in play for that that trip.
So give me Notre Dame.
1748
01:35:25,170 --> 01:35:28,610
I I think it's going to be about
a 10 point victory for Notre
1749
01:35:28,610 --> 01:35:31,970
Dame.
Alrighty and well, the big one
1750
01:35:31,970 --> 01:35:36,970
is Saturday night down in
Tuscaloosa, AL, Texas.
1751
01:35:37,010 --> 01:35:39,330
Game day's obviously going to be
there and it is a big game.
1752
01:35:39,490 --> 01:35:41,570
I mean, we are college football
fans.
1753
01:35:41,570 --> 01:35:44,530
We we're not just sitting here
and going to crap on things
1754
01:35:44,530 --> 01:35:46,730
because that is a big game.
It was a big game last year,
1755
01:35:46,970 --> 01:35:51,180
high noon down to Texas, where
that turned into a game that
1756
01:35:51,180 --> 01:35:55,100
Texas just about got Alabama.
Now in this case, Tuscaloosa.
1757
01:35:55,620 --> 01:36:00,860
Only a 7 point favorite is
Alabama, who's coming off a I
1758
01:36:00,860 --> 01:36:03,580
mean it's it's technically a
thrashing, but it took a while
1759
01:36:03,580 --> 01:36:05,940
to get them going versus Middle
Tennessee State.
1760
01:36:06,500 --> 01:36:10,860
Brian Who are you taking in this
game with the points?
1761
01:36:12,900 --> 01:36:14,820
Yeah, I think this is kind of a
nobrainer.
1762
01:36:14,820 --> 01:36:17,820
I think Texas, you know, we saw
that slow start.
1763
01:36:17,820 --> 01:36:20,620
They don't have a dynamic player
like B John Robinson in anymore.
1764
01:36:21,840 --> 01:36:24,920
I really think that Alabama's
going to take this one over.
1765
01:36:24,920 --> 01:36:31,640
Start to finish.
Give me Bama Texas Horns down
1766
01:36:33,320 --> 01:36:37,680
penalty sportsman like conduct
on Siegler. 15 yards.
1767
01:36:38,480 --> 01:36:40,080
I'm actually right there with
you, Brian.
1768
01:36:42,720 --> 01:36:45,520
I just don't trust Texas.
I don't.
1769
01:36:45,520 --> 01:36:47,080
And it's not so much their
offense.
1770
01:36:47,120 --> 01:36:48,840
I just think they're going to be
sort of.
1771
01:36:49,240 --> 01:36:52,860
I just feel like you talk about
Bijan being there last year and
1772
01:36:52,860 --> 01:36:57,940
remember they still it was still
more of a 2320 type game down in
1773
01:36:57,940 --> 01:37:00,780
Austin last year.
I just don't trust their
1774
01:37:00,780 --> 01:37:03,860
defense.
I don't and I know yes, they won
1775
01:37:03,860 --> 01:37:07,260
like 37 to 10 last week, but who
are they playing?
1776
01:37:07,260 --> 01:37:09,260
We were trying pieces of that
game.
1777
01:37:09,260 --> 01:37:13,420
Rice.
It was Rice 18, Daniels 60 year
1778
01:37:13,740 --> 01:37:15,860
who was supposed to be a great
quarterback coming out as it
1779
01:37:15,860 --> 01:37:19,380
Rice right now.
And they got throttled by Texas.
1780
01:37:19,930 --> 01:37:23,410
Not a big start, but give me
Bama, give me the 7th.
1781
01:37:23,410 --> 01:37:26,090
I think it'll probably be an
entertaining game, but I I can't
1782
01:37:26,090 --> 01:37:28,050
see Texas winning this one we're
covering.
1783
01:37:29,930 --> 01:37:32,450
Yeah, I got Texas covering.
Actually, man, I don't know if
1784
01:37:32,450 --> 01:37:35,890
they will actually win.
Fuck it.
1785
01:37:35,890 --> 01:37:37,450
I'm gonna say Texas wins a close
one.
1786
01:37:39,130 --> 01:37:41,490
Alabama is a little bit, you
know, they're a little different
1787
01:37:41,490 --> 01:37:43,130
this year.
I know they've got some.
1788
01:37:43,570 --> 01:37:45,970
They've got some injuries on the
back end that some of the fans
1789
01:37:45,970 --> 01:37:47,450
have been talking about.
I'm not sure.
1790
01:37:47,930 --> 01:37:50,130
Of the names, if you go look
them up, I'm sure you can find
1791
01:37:50,130 --> 01:37:51,050
it.
They got a couple of injuries
1792
01:37:51,050 --> 01:37:52,810
there.
They got a wire to see what it's
1793
01:37:52,810 --> 01:37:54,250
been out that they're waiting
on.
1794
01:37:54,250 --> 01:37:57,570
I think he's got a hip something
going on with his hip and
1795
01:37:57,570 --> 01:38:00,330
Alabama just they're always
going to be a good team.
1796
01:38:00,330 --> 01:38:02,490
But I don't think they have a
star power that they they
1797
01:38:02,530 --> 01:38:04,450
usually have.
You know they're breaking in a
1798
01:38:04,450 --> 01:38:07,170
new quarterback and he didn't
have to do shit for real last
1799
01:38:07,170 --> 01:38:09,370
week because they were
fundamentally Middle Tennessee
1800
01:38:09,370 --> 01:38:12,890
state.
I think just what Texas have in
1801
01:38:13,930 --> 01:38:16,370
athletes that can be on the
field against them.
1802
01:38:16,770 --> 01:38:18,290
It's gonna be a little bit of a
different look.
1803
01:38:18,290 --> 01:38:21,970
So I'm gonna give it to Texas.
I'm gonna say Texas wins a close
1804
01:38:21,970 --> 01:38:24,810
one.
Texas wins a close one.
1805
01:38:25,090 --> 01:38:28,690
Sheldon closes out with our big
Screener here.
1806
01:38:29,730 --> 01:38:33,970
Brian put tallies up.
Yeah, yeah.
1807
01:38:34,250 --> 01:38:37,490
Hard to bet against Nick Saban.
I mean, I actually think Texas
1808
01:38:37,490 --> 01:38:40,050
was a good team last year that
got really unlucky.
1809
01:38:40,630 --> 01:38:42,470
You know, the Alabama game was a
perfect example.
1810
01:38:42,470 --> 01:38:43,670
Like they had a feeling like it
breaks.
1811
01:38:43,670 --> 01:38:45,510
They were at home though.
They had to win at their back
1812
01:38:45,510 --> 01:38:48,990
and lost a close game.
I just can't go against Nick
1813
01:38:48,990 --> 01:38:50,510
Saban at home.
I feel like this is type of the
1814
01:38:50,510 --> 01:38:53,190
game where, you know, Alabama's
up by 7:00 late in the third
1815
01:38:53,190 --> 01:38:54,870
quarter and then they end up
winning by 24.
1816
01:38:55,470 --> 01:38:56,990
That's just, that's just how I
look at it.
1817
01:38:56,990 --> 01:38:59,430
So I'll take, I'll take them And
the points.
1818
01:39:00,150 --> 01:39:05,650
Taking them and the points.
So Brian says the graphic he was
1819
01:39:05,650 --> 01:39:08,250
working with froze up there.
Still good.
1820
01:39:08,410 --> 01:39:10,170
We're agreeing on a lot of
things.
1821
01:39:10,170 --> 01:39:16,570
Boys, has anything broken since
we fired Twitter or since we've
1822
01:39:16,570 --> 01:39:19,250
been on here?
Well, for me, for me and Brian,
1823
01:39:19,650 --> 01:39:21,890
Christian Wood is a Laker for
two years.
1824
01:39:22,210 --> 01:39:23,370
Who's Christian Wood?
Hey.
1825
01:39:23,730 --> 01:39:27,130
Christian Wood is a is a big man
that played for The Mavericks
1826
01:39:27,130 --> 01:39:30,490
and he's going to be a good
backup to bring in.
1827
01:39:31,130 --> 01:39:33,690
When we need a D to have a
little rest.
1828
01:39:33,850 --> 01:39:38,570
So all my Laker fans are pretty
excited about getting getting
1829
01:39:38,570 --> 01:39:41,410
him over there with the Lakers.
We needed some youth.
1830
01:39:41,410 --> 01:39:44,730
All right, real quick, this is
not on the rundown, but I just
1831
01:39:44,730 --> 01:39:46,370
want to get y'all.
Just gut opinion.
1832
01:39:47,730 --> 01:39:50,770
Most telling story of the
college football weekend.
1833
01:39:50,770 --> 01:39:54,450
Sheldon you.
Tell me this upcoming weekend.
1834
01:39:54,490 --> 01:39:55,530
No, no, no.
Last weekend.
1835
01:39:56,170 --> 01:40:00,570
Last weekend?
Just a lot of craziness, I mean.
1836
01:40:00,990 --> 01:40:03,190
I don't.
I think one thing I'd I'd be
1837
01:40:03,190 --> 01:40:06,430
interested to see is like do we
have a truly elite team this
1838
01:40:06,430 --> 01:40:09,630
year because Georgia they didn't
always upgrade against UT
1839
01:40:09,630 --> 01:40:12,990
Martin.
You know Bama had Bama had some
1840
01:40:12,990 --> 01:40:16,630
struggles.
I just don't know if there's
1841
01:40:16,630 --> 01:40:19,830
like a like a you know,
Megatron, Death Slayer, you
1842
01:40:19,870 --> 01:40:22,710
know, 3000 like we had like
Georgia last year, Alabama in
1843
01:40:22,710 --> 01:40:26,310
2020 or Clemson 2018.
I just, I don't think you have
1844
01:40:26,310 --> 01:40:29,630
that truly elite, you know,
championship level team.
1845
01:40:29,980 --> 01:40:32,260
We're going to find out soon,
but I I think this could be a
1846
01:40:32,260 --> 01:40:34,860
situation where there might be a
little bit more parity at the
1847
01:40:34,860 --> 01:40:38,260
top in 2023.
But we'll see.
1848
01:40:39,340 --> 01:40:44,660
So I'm on, I'm on, I'm on, I'm
on, hit on a couple of things,
1849
01:40:44,660 --> 01:40:45,780
but I'm going to try to make it
quick.
1850
01:40:46,220 --> 01:40:51,660
Number one, and I think we've
seen the end of Clemson's
1851
01:40:51,660 --> 01:40:53,860
dynasty or whatever they had
going on.
1852
01:40:54,260 --> 01:40:57,380
I don't think that they will be
as elite as they have been in
1853
01:40:57,380 --> 01:40:59,500
the past, partly because their
coach.
1854
01:41:01,090 --> 01:41:05,690
Doesn't like to use the
transport portal And then also I
1855
01:41:05,690 --> 01:41:11,530
just think that with the
transport portal and how college
1856
01:41:11,530 --> 01:41:15,090
football NIL is today, there's
stuff more spread out.
1857
01:41:15,090 --> 01:41:19,450
You're seeing some some elite
talent at other places.
1858
01:41:19,930 --> 01:41:22,490
Case in point, I'm going to
bring up Colorado.
1859
01:41:22,970 --> 01:41:26,770
I mean, Jesus Christ,
everybody's eyes was glued to
1860
01:41:26,770 --> 01:41:29,050
that game.
I think some people will put a
1861
01:41:29,050 --> 01:41:31,370
little bit more stock into it
than they probably should.
1862
01:41:31,730 --> 01:41:34,850
But for Dion to go out there and
do what he did, I think they
1863
01:41:34,850 --> 01:41:38,410
made one last one game last year
to have that much height.
1864
01:41:38,410 --> 01:41:43,050
He's on every commercial that
I've seen, his boys was playing
1865
01:41:43,050 --> 01:41:44,530
super hard.
They're ranked now.
1866
01:41:44,530 --> 01:41:49,730
So just the the first week of
college football to see Clemson
1867
01:41:49,730 --> 01:41:53,730
go down and Colorado to win in
the fashion that did.
1868
01:41:53,730 --> 01:41:56,610
Man, college football was back.
Segal.
1869
01:41:57,970 --> 01:42:02,330
The death of the new spring
church mafia, that's what.
1870
01:42:02,330 --> 01:42:03,770
That's what's happening this
year.
1871
01:42:05,090 --> 01:42:06,770
That's what's happening this
year.
1872
01:42:07,410 --> 01:42:10,930
We are seeing the the return of
Clemsoning.
1873
01:42:11,610 --> 01:42:15,010
We are.
We are seeing the return of a
1874
01:42:15,370 --> 01:42:22,130
team that did not adapt with the
times by pure, pure hubris.
1875
01:42:22,670 --> 01:42:25,510
By Dabo Swinney.
I think we're seeing that the
1876
01:42:25,510 --> 01:42:27,350
chickens are coming home to
roost a little bit.
1877
01:42:27,350 --> 01:42:30,990
This is going to be a rough year
for the Clemson Tigers overall.
1878
01:42:31,390 --> 01:42:34,350
I'm not saying they're going to
win like five or six games, but
1879
01:42:34,350 --> 01:42:37,950
I mean they could easily take
three or four losses this year
1880
01:42:38,030 --> 01:42:39,630
easily.
Please, I hope they do all
1881
01:42:39,710 --> 01:42:41,190
right.
Y'all had all your fun with
1882
01:42:41,190 --> 01:42:42,310
Clemson.
I'm I'm going to look on a
1883
01:42:42,310 --> 01:42:45,230
little bit different.
Florida State is for real.
1884
01:42:45,590 --> 01:42:50,150
They may not be a wrote it down
here Megatron Death Slayer 3000.
1885
01:42:50,390 --> 01:42:54,850
Yes, that's the first.
That is the phrase anytime the
1886
01:42:54,850 --> 01:42:56,250
team we're going to refer to is
that.
1887
01:42:56,530 --> 01:42:59,650
But I think what they did in the
second-half to LSU says a lot.
1888
01:42:59,650 --> 01:43:03,170
LSU is a good team and I this is
where you know Tally you
1889
01:43:03,170 --> 01:43:06,850
mentioned the SEC.
I swear to God, I I I turn on
1890
01:43:06,970 --> 01:43:09,490
Monday morning.
Well they didn't have their
1891
01:43:09,490 --> 01:43:12,370
starting defensive tackle.
You lost by 24.1.
1892
01:43:12,370 --> 01:43:14,690
Starting defensive tackle ain't
making up 24 points.
1893
01:43:14,770 --> 01:43:17,610
It might be a 2 score game.
It ain't going to make up 24
1894
01:43:17,610 --> 01:43:19,370
points.
So shut you stinking mouths
1895
01:43:19,370 --> 01:43:21,610
about that.
I think FSU is bad.
1896
01:43:21,690 --> 01:43:25,050
Back I hope, man.
We are rolling going into there
1897
01:43:25,370 --> 01:43:27,370
in week six.
I really do.
1898
01:43:27,610 --> 01:43:29,050
Just because you know you always
want to.
1899
01:43:29,050 --> 01:43:30,730
Stack make it look respectable,
man.
1900
01:43:31,210 --> 01:43:32,850
Just, yeah.
Again, I don't have any.
1901
01:43:32,890 --> 01:43:33,970
I already said that's going to
be a.
1902
01:43:34,010 --> 01:43:38,690
If it's only 24 points, then
this make it look we played as
1903
01:43:38,690 --> 01:43:41,250
good as the number five team in
the country.
1904
01:43:41,950 --> 01:43:43,590
Man, I want to win, don't get me
wrong.
1905
01:43:43,990 --> 01:43:45,190
Stop, stop.
Don't get him going.
1906
01:43:45,310 --> 01:43:47,630
Preseason rankings.
We'll be here 30 minutes.
1907
01:43:47,790 --> 01:43:49,350
And Sheldon's got an early
morning meeting.
1908

I am Curtis Wilson in this
episode is brought to you by
4
00:00:56,150 --> 00:00:59,430
Doctor Jeremy Counts at the Main
Street Pharmacy, your friendly
5
00:00:59,430 --> 00:01:04,269
neighborhood pharmacy located at
301 S Main St. in Blacksburg.
6
00:01:04,430 --> 00:01:08,310
Also letting everybody know,
don't forget Rowdy for Robbie,
7
00:01:08,630 --> 00:01:10,910
that is continuing.
This week's going to be back in
8
00:01:10,910 --> 00:01:14,590
Lot 1, back at spot 164.
Again game day.
9
00:01:14,590 --> 00:01:18,470
Don't quite have the time yet.
I would assume probably sometime
10
00:01:18,470 --> 00:01:22,830
between 10:00 and 11:00, but
definitely check that out.
11
00:01:23,990 --> 00:01:26,830

Gentlemen, how are we doing on
14
00:01:36,110 --> 00:01:40,350
this wonderful winning Tuesday?
I tell you, recording the pod
15
00:01:40,350 --> 00:01:43,110
after a win is a whole lot more
fun, man.
16
00:01:44,590 --> 00:01:47,790
Everything's more fun waking up,
going to work.
17
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,160
Seeing your kids, seeing your
wife after a win, so much
18
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,680
better.
Just got a whole better attitude
19
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:58,280
towards the world.
It feels good to watch a
20
00:01:58,280 --> 00:01:59,840
competent football team, that's
for sure.
21
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,640
It does feel good to watch a
confident football team, and
22
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,200
that was a good thing on
Saturday night as the Hokies win
23
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:14,480
3619, excuse me, 3617 over ODU.
We got a lot to talk about.
24
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:19,450
We are going to unlock that game
in a new segment this year to
25
00:02:19,450 --> 00:02:22,250
the podcast.
But before we jump on that and
26
00:02:22,250 --> 00:02:24,890
then before we actually get to
know the enemy Purdue, we're
27
00:02:24,890 --> 00:02:27,410
going to just have a couple talk
about a couple news and notes
28
00:02:27,410 --> 00:02:29,810
that have broken over the last
week since we last talked.
29
00:02:30,330 --> 00:02:34,610
And it came out Friday, but they
did not do the Friday end of day
30
00:02:34,610 --> 00:02:36,610
dump.
They actually did it early in
31
00:02:36,610 --> 00:02:39,450
the morning.
The expansion vote for the ACC
32
00:02:39,730 --> 00:02:43,330
finally passed.
Stanford, SMU and Cal are now
33
00:02:43,330 --> 00:02:46,930
finally members.
Just real quick, Shelton, what's
34
00:02:46,930 --> 00:02:51,170
your initial take on this?
Yeah, I mean obviously they had
35
00:02:51,170 --> 00:02:53,610
to get one of the votes to flip
in order to make this move
36
00:02:53,610 --> 00:02:55,410
happen.
That turned out to be in C State
37
00:02:55,890 --> 00:02:59,530
who kind of bucked with away
from UNC and making that
38
00:02:59,530 --> 00:03:01,890
decision.
You know it's a it's an
39
00:03:01,890 --> 00:03:04,330
interesting move.
Obviously you add, you know, two
40
00:03:04,330 --> 00:03:08,210
schools with good Olympic sports
in in Callan, Stanford and then
41
00:03:08,210 --> 00:03:11,290
I'll see SMU I think has a
burching program, lots of big
42
00:03:11,290 --> 00:03:14,650
money in that program with their
boosters overall.
43
00:03:15,010 --> 00:03:16,290
I don't know.
If it does a time for the
44
00:03:16,290 --> 00:03:18,090
league.
We'll see how it plays out.
45
00:03:18,090 --> 00:03:20,330
I think it's worth like a, you
know, kind of a Plan C move
46
00:03:20,770 --> 00:03:23,130
because they just, you know,
they didn't really have the off
47
00:03:23,130 --> 00:03:25,690
season they wanted to relative
to the Big 12 and the SEC.
48
00:03:26,530 --> 00:03:29,170
So yeah, I I mean, I don't know
what to make of it really.
49
00:03:29,850 --> 00:03:34,010
I think it's just it's just kind
of the way the summer's been
50
00:03:34,010 --> 00:03:35,570
gone.
I guess they wanted to just, you
51
00:03:35,570 --> 00:03:38,890
know, add someone and bring some
type of juice to the league.
52
00:03:38,890 --> 00:03:40,890
But.
But yeah, it wasn't, it wasn't a
53
00:03:40,890 --> 00:03:42,530
thing where I'm like, yeah, this
is super exciting.
54
00:03:42,530 --> 00:03:44,290
It just kind of, it's kind of is
what it is.
55
00:03:46,750 --> 00:03:50,110
Couple of different things.
I guess #1, if you're going to
56
00:03:50,110 --> 00:03:54,390
grab them, why not grab, why not
just go ahead and grab, you
57
00:03:54,390 --> 00:03:57,910
know, Oregon State and think
Washington State, you're already
58
00:03:57,910 --> 00:04:00,870
grabbing other two, grab them,
let them have somewhere to go
59
00:04:00,870 --> 00:04:02,630
to.
Oregon states actually ranked
60
00:04:02,630 --> 00:04:04,470
right now.
They got DJU out there.
61
00:04:04,990 --> 00:04:08,750
Hey, we need all the eyes we can
on the ACC right now if that's
62
00:04:08,750 --> 00:04:11,790
what we're going to do.
I thought it was a little bit.
63
00:04:13,660 --> 00:04:15,660
I don't know what how like how
they're going to go and what
64
00:04:15,660 --> 00:04:18,260
they're going to do as far as
like the SMU thing.
65
00:04:18,260 --> 00:04:21,420
They're saying they're going to
use, I guess, their campus or
66
00:04:21,420 --> 00:04:25,940
places that they have there as a
meeting ground for some of the
67
00:04:25,940 --> 00:04:29,500
sports and things like that.
I guess that makes sense why
68
00:04:29,500 --> 00:04:32,620
they would bring them in.
But still kind of, you know,
69
00:04:33,140 --> 00:04:34,500
don't know much about what we're
doing.
70
00:04:34,500 --> 00:04:37,060
But hey, it looks like they're
not getting paid for a while.
71
00:04:37,060 --> 00:04:40,620
So if we can just make money off
them being here for a little
72
00:04:40,620 --> 00:04:43,140
bit, shoot, let's do it.
Why not?
73
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,880
We we rounded up all the Olympic
sports and going to Jerry World
74
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,520
and.
Why not?
75
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:52,720
That seems like what the plan
is.
76
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,560
But I mean to me from a big
picture standpoint for the ACC,
77
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:01,760
this is a tread water move.
This is a we had to do something
78
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:06,640
and like Sheldon said, this was
a number C on the the choices
79
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,400
there.
You know, we talked about it a
80
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,120
lot like this is probably 2
years late.
81
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,760
On making a move for expansion,
they probably should have
82
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:21,440
circled the wagons when Texas
and Oklahoma jumped ships that
83
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:22,920
they started, they should have
started having some
84
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,640
conversations.
Then they waited.
85
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:30,440
Then you lose USC&UCLA to the
big and then you know you still
86
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,320
didn't make a move after that.
So this is what happens when you
87
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,320
drag your feet.
You end up kind of getting the
88
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,800
the the scraps if you will.
They're they're pretty solid
89
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,690
scraps in terms of.
You know what they bring to the
90
00:05:43,690 --> 00:05:46,970
table for sports that aren't
football, especially looking at
91
00:05:46,970 --> 00:05:51,370
the the West Coast teams.
But all this does is really kind
92
00:05:51,370 --> 00:05:55,130
of bring us back even with the
Big 12 in terms of financials.
93
00:05:55,490 --> 00:05:58,570
And I don't think that's a
longterm sustainable goal
94
00:05:58,570 --> 00:06:03,650
because you're you're going to
lose probably one to three of
95
00:06:04,130 --> 00:06:07,610
the bigger name schools in your
conference at some point in the
96
00:06:07,610 --> 00:06:09,490
next 10 years, right?
So.
97
00:06:11,030 --> 00:06:12,750
It's just a tread water move to
me.
98
00:06:12,990 --> 00:06:18,190
We'll see if if they can make
some other moves between now and
99
00:06:18,190 --> 00:06:20,990
then.
But it like it looks like it's
100
00:06:20,990 --> 00:06:22,910
something that's not really
going to come to fruition.
101
00:06:23,870 --> 00:06:27,590
It's just going to keep the ACC
alive after some of these big
102
00:06:27,590 --> 00:06:30,350
dogs kind of leave the
conference at some point in the
103
00:06:30,350 --> 00:06:32,710
next 10 years.
Yeah, that was the bigger pieces
104
00:06:32,710 --> 00:06:36,870
is right now including Notre
Dame, they're at 18 teams and if
105
00:06:36,870 --> 00:06:41,000
we've been keep hearing there's
five or six teams that want to
106
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,960
leave if it's effectively kept
above 12, ESPN can't terminate
107
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,400
the contract.
So now they're at that position
108
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,040
where they can't terminate the
contract tally you mentioned.
109
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:51,480
They ain't getting paid for a
long time.
110
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,880
SMU is getting nothing for seven
plus years.
111
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,080
Nothing.
Just happy to be here, They just
112
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,880
happy to be here.
But as we know, if you ain't
113
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,430
ever seen pony excess, that's a
lunatic bunch down there.
114
00:07:05,470 --> 00:07:07,390
I am sure their boosters are
going to be stroking some
115
00:07:07,390 --> 00:07:10,390
massive freaking checks.
If you ain't seen pony excess,
116
00:07:10,390 --> 00:07:12,710
probably one of the best 34
thirties ever made.
117
00:07:12,830 --> 00:07:14,750
Go check that out.
Definitely top five.
118
00:07:14,830 --> 00:07:16,310
Definitely top five way up
there.
119
00:07:16,670 --> 00:07:18,750
Also Stanford cash at the.
End of the night.
120
00:07:19,330 --> 00:07:21,450
You go watch that again tonight.
Well, you got work to do, so I
121
00:07:21,450 --> 00:07:24,770
mean why?
Not Stanford and Cal taking
122
00:07:24,770 --> 00:07:27,810
significantly reduced payouts.
I think they're only taking 30%
123
00:07:27,810 --> 00:07:30,050
upfront again.
So the money effectively is
124
00:07:30,050 --> 00:07:31,970
going into the current
conference there.
125
00:07:32,290 --> 00:07:34,530
You know, there's talk about how
many times you're going to go
126
00:07:34,530 --> 00:07:36,290
cross country and things like
that.
127
00:07:36,450 --> 00:07:38,890
The ACC is picking up, obviously
slamslot games.
128
00:07:39,330 --> 00:07:41,410
Why the ESPN wanted to make the
move.
129
00:07:41,690 --> 00:07:45,080
But this is such a reactionary
move because if you take a look
130
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,160
at all the programs that were
left out there, especially once
131
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,440
Oakland Tech, Oklahoma and Texas
decided to leave, you could have
132
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,600
got a potential cream of the
crop in the middle of the
133
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,240
country and then some solid West
Coast teams.
134
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,680
Instead, they stuck around nose
in the air.
135
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,040
Now we don't need to do that and
the next thing you know,
136
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,600
conference out West died.
The ACC is likely next on the
137
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,600
chopping block.
Wouldn't shock me.
138
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,360
Brian, you say 10 years,
somebody's just going to take a
139
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:11,920
risk and try to get out of the
Gor.
140
00:08:12,530 --> 00:08:15,170
Somebody's just going to take
that risk watch.
141
00:08:15,490 --> 00:08:19,330
And and somebody stated a couple
times, State of Florida's crazy
142
00:08:19,330 --> 00:08:22,770
enough they might be able to go
to court and get it completely
143
00:08:22,770 --> 00:08:25,330
dissolved.
All right, let's talk about
144
00:08:25,330 --> 00:08:28,210
this.
Some breaking news that we had
145
00:08:28,210 --> 00:08:36,610
heard for a while there.
It's Nick Gallows out for the
146
00:08:36,610 --> 00:08:39,770
year, which sucks.
Yeah, I hate that for him.
147
00:08:40,130 --> 00:08:44,840
Yeah, six years senior.
So, Brian, I'll lead back to you
148
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,560
on this.
That leaves Benji Gosnell,
149
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,240
Dequan Wright and HSG as your
tight ends.
150
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,400
What do you think?
They're going to miss the
151
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:56,960
leadership in that room for
sure.
152
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,720
That's that's the biggest thing
that I think is going to be
153
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,480
heard here.
I think from a just an overall
154
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:07,200
talent perspective the the two
guys behind him are are very
155
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,800
good, very reliable from that
standpoint but.
156
00:09:10,390 --> 00:09:13,990
It's something to be said for a
guy that's seen it all was in
157
00:09:13,990 --> 00:09:18,630
the system last year, took the
majority of the snaps last year.
158
00:09:19,070 --> 00:09:22,510
You can't really replace that
type of experience, especially
159
00:09:22,510 --> 00:09:26,030
when the other two guys, you
know, one didn't get a single
160
00:09:26,030 --> 00:09:29,750
snap last year because of injury
and the other was in a reduced
161
00:09:29,750 --> 00:09:34,030
role as a true freshman and
playing mostly kind of a joker
162
00:09:34,030 --> 00:09:37,590
type role in the offense.
So that's something that we're
163
00:09:37,590 --> 00:09:40,930
going to have to look at, but.
You know, sucks for him and I
164
00:09:40,930 --> 00:09:45,050
mean that's that's a big blow
and you know he came back to to
165
00:09:45,050 --> 00:09:48,650
try to have a, you know a better
year this year and unfortunately
166
00:09:48,650 --> 00:09:52,290
doesn't get to to really be a
part of it as we move forward.
167
00:09:52,290 --> 00:09:58,210
But you know we got Gosnell
looked really good in in the
168
00:09:58,210 --> 00:10:02,370
game against ODU we saw right.
He had a couple drops also came
169
00:10:02,370 --> 00:10:04,530
back made a couple plays in the
passing game.
170
00:10:04,530 --> 00:10:08,130
So I mean we got some ability
there I think from a blocking
171
00:10:08,130 --> 00:10:10,830
perspective.
Benji showed out pretty good,
172
00:10:10,830 --> 00:10:14,150
kind of in the same ballpark
with with with Gallo and from
173
00:10:14,150 --> 00:10:16,790
that perspective.
So we'll see if he can kind of
174
00:10:16,790 --> 00:10:19,590
continue to hone that skill, but
definitely a big blow from a
175
00:10:19,590 --> 00:10:22,190
leadership perspective.
Yeah, definitely.
176
00:10:22,390 --> 00:10:24,830
You don't never want to, you
know, discount somebody being
177
00:10:25,150 --> 00:10:28,350
heard in the time they put into
the to the program.
178
00:10:28,350 --> 00:10:31,150
So, you know, definitely prayers
going out to Nick Gallo.
179
00:10:31,670 --> 00:10:34,350
I think he's a captain, Captain
this year, so I'm sure he'll
180
00:10:34,350 --> 00:10:36,950
still be around the team still,
you know.
181
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,240
Be able to provide that
leadership even though he's not
182
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,040
on the field.
But I will say with the guys
183
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:46,520
that we do have in now, although
we're young, but we're young in
184
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,640
a lot of places, seems like we
say that a lot.
185
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,040
The tight ends that we have are
kind of a different mold than
186
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:54,800
him.
If you go back and look through
187
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:59,080
like Virginia Tech history of
tight ends, Gallo reminded me of
188
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:03,120
like a Ryan Mallett, the tight
ends that we have now.
189
00:11:03,700 --> 00:11:06,100
Benji's kind of close to Nick,
but he's a little bit more
190
00:11:06,100 --> 00:11:13,140
athletic, so I don't want to go
quite a Bucky type tidying for
191
00:11:13,140 --> 00:11:15,260
him.
He's just himself.
192
00:11:15,980 --> 00:11:18,140
But when you look at like
Daquan, right, he's going to be
193
00:11:18,140 --> 00:11:20,940
flanked out wild a lot more like
Bucky was.
194
00:11:20,980 --> 00:11:23,900
So I think for the offense is
going to give them some more
195
00:11:23,900 --> 00:11:25,540
flexibility of things they can
do.
196
00:11:26,300 --> 00:11:29,900
But we just got to figure out as
far as when we're wanting to
197
00:11:29,900 --> 00:11:33,420
block those zones and when we're
wanting to, you know, have that.
198
00:11:33,650 --> 00:11:37,330
Two set tidy and close, who's
going to be able to block and
199
00:11:37,330 --> 00:11:39,930
who's going to go and put a body
in front of somebody.
200
00:11:39,930 --> 00:11:44,930
So definitely not, you know not
feeling good about Nick being
201
00:11:45,050 --> 00:11:49,850
out, but I think that the pieces
that we have, we have some some
202
00:11:49,850 --> 00:11:53,570
variation there.
So you got anything on this one,
203
00:11:53,570 --> 00:11:55,690
Sheldon?
I know this is this is what's as
204
00:11:55,690 --> 00:11:57,610
we've heard for a couple weeks
about his knee.
205
00:11:57,610 --> 00:12:02,640
And obviously you know you don't
want to scream it out until you
206
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:08,280
know it's confirmed.
Yeah, I mean I wasn't for gal.
207
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:09,880
I wasn't huge fan of him as a
blocker.
208
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:11,120
You know he didn't great out
very well.
209
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,640
Obviously the leadership
experience is important and the
210
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,160
the veteran leadership and all
that stuff is important because
211
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,640
you know you're talking about
Gosnell and and a one right who
212
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,640
are pretty pretty young players.
So we'll see that all that plays
213
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,280
out.
I mean the one thing I thought
214
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,710
was interesting.
I'm trying to pull up the snap
215
00:12:29,710 --> 00:12:34,990
count from the Old Dominion game
as we speak, if I can get it.
216
00:12:34,990 --> 00:12:38,710
But you know, Dick on, right?
Actually didn't play very much
217
00:12:38,750 --> 00:12:41,750
against against Old Dominion and
he had a couple.
218
00:12:41,750 --> 00:12:43,670
He had at least a one drop that
I saw maybe 2.
219
00:12:44,030 --> 00:12:45,230
So I don't know what's going on
with him.
220
00:12:45,230 --> 00:12:46,870
Honestly.
I think guys know I like his,
221
00:12:46,950 --> 00:12:49,910
you know, physicality.
I like his just his motor and
222
00:12:49,910 --> 00:12:52,430
his athleticism and he's gonna
be a big piece.
223
00:12:52,430 --> 00:12:53,590
We'll see what happens with,
right.
224
00:12:53,590 --> 00:12:57,080
Maybe as a yips sophomore slump.
I don't know, but he just, he
225
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,040
didn't look quite right in that
first game, so I think it's
226
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,520
going to be Gosnell and sending.
Yeah, I know Wright's been
227
00:13:02,560 --> 00:13:04,680
battling some injuries.
I don't know exactly what
228
00:13:04,680 --> 00:13:07,720
injuries he's been battling, but
we've heard about him battling
229
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,240
injuries and missing practices
and things like that.
230
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,480
I mean, maybe a little bit down
the line, but I'm also going to
231
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,560
be excited to see Zeke Winbush,
see what they can get out of
232
00:13:18,560 --> 00:13:21,800
him.
He was very dynamic in high
233
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,990
school, just.
I think he played against
234
00:13:23,990 --> 00:13:27,750
Highland Springs in one game and
he was, if not the best player
235
00:13:27,750 --> 00:13:28,550
on the field.
He was.
236
00:13:28,590 --> 00:13:32,110
He was close to it.
He was a dynamic player that was
237
00:13:32,110 --> 00:13:33,590
a lot of good players on that
field.
238
00:13:33,590 --> 00:13:38,470
So I'd like to see what he does
at tight end, maybe about a year
239
00:13:38,470 --> 00:13:39,830
away.
He may get a little bit of time
240
00:13:39,830 --> 00:13:41,830
this year, but I like to see
what he's got.
241
00:13:42,310 --> 00:13:45,150
Yeah man, I know the staff feels
good about him, so it's just
242
00:13:45,150 --> 00:13:48,990
going to be a matter of getting
him into the rotation at some
243
00:13:48,990 --> 00:13:51,390
point as we go along through the
season to get him some
244
00:13:51,990 --> 00:13:55,780
meaningful.
Plays and snaps this season,
245
00:13:56,740 --> 00:13:59,660
hopefully maybe to maintain that
red shirt and carry that on to
246
00:13:59,660 --> 00:14:02,500
the next year and have him kind
of take the next step.
247
00:14:03,140 --> 00:14:05,780
It is one of those things that
since it likely happened in the
248
00:14:05,780 --> 00:14:08,780
preseason, something that we
have been preparing for
249
00:14:08,780 --> 00:14:12,860
adjusting to versus 44 games in.
If Gallo had been doing a good
250
00:14:12,860 --> 00:14:16,620
job of solidly blocking, not
blocking it out of the water,
251
00:14:16,820 --> 00:14:19,900
catching some passes, then you
have to really adjust quickly.
252
00:14:19,900 --> 00:14:23,060
Where you saw we saw De Quan.
You did mention Shell, he did
253
00:14:23,060 --> 00:14:26,300
drop a pass, but he did catch a
nice little little dig route up
254
00:14:26,300 --> 00:14:28,100
in the middle of the field for
first down.
255
00:14:28,340 --> 00:14:31,100
We saw Benji on that seam route.
Brian screamed to me as we were
256
00:14:31,100 --> 00:14:34,060
watching it to play from the
spring game Right there up the
257
00:14:34,060 --> 00:14:37,540
seam, which was awesome to see.
Real quick.
258
00:14:37,700 --> 00:14:41,040
Tally saw a comment that some I
made out here and he wants to
259
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,080
address it.
So this is going to be tally
260
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,760
space-time before we get into
what we want to talk about.
261
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,240
So I'm going to pull it up here.
Tally, I'm going to let you read
262
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,640
it is from one of our listeners,
Cucked this, so go ahead.
263
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,240
Yeah he was in here early man
and he was in here early putting
264
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,320
stuff in.
So just wanted to address I seen
265
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,680
because again thank y'all
everybody was listening.
266
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,960
We we definitely appreciate
y'all like.
267
00:15:04,340 --> 00:15:06,020
Follow, share, all of that good
stuff.
268
00:15:06,580 --> 00:15:08,740
But what he says here is he
said, Hey, what's up fellas?
269
00:15:09,020 --> 00:15:10,740
Virginia Tech really drives me
crazy.
270
00:15:11,380 --> 00:15:13,700
I'm going to be honest.
Pride has the personality
271
00:15:13,700 --> 00:15:18,140
mannerisms to be Tech coach, but
he just doesn't understand
272
00:15:18,140 --> 00:15:22,660
running a Power 5 program.
Our players small, all of the
273
00:15:22,660 --> 00:15:25,060
whole statement, you can say
what you want.
274
00:15:25,300 --> 00:15:29,140
But that last piece where it
says our players small, if you
275
00:15:29,140 --> 00:15:31,540
think our players are small now
because of pride.
276
00:15:32,300 --> 00:15:36,100
Where have you been the last 10
years, four years, five years?
277
00:15:36,460 --> 00:15:40,660
We were running out five foot 10
defensive ends.
278
00:15:41,540 --> 00:15:45,500
No disrespect to any of those
guys that we had, but we are
279
00:15:45,500 --> 00:15:47,340
much bigger than we were in the
past.
280
00:15:47,740 --> 00:15:50,700
Not saying that this team is
going to be anything.
281
00:15:50,700 --> 00:15:53,460
I don't know what we're going to
be, what we're not going to be.
282
00:15:53,460 --> 00:15:56,020
I just wanted to address the Our
players are small.
283
00:15:56,340 --> 00:15:58,140
I've been screaming this for
years.
284
00:15:58,700 --> 00:16:00,540
And one thing, so I pay
attention to that.
285
00:16:00,540 --> 00:16:04,460
So I wanted to bring that up
with our players being small.
286
00:16:04,460 --> 00:16:07,660
Some of it's just what we have,
Some of it's we don't have to
287
00:16:07,660 --> 00:16:11,420
get in the weight room, But some
of it is just if you go look at
288
00:16:11,420 --> 00:16:14,980
the players that they're
recruiting, linebackers, DNS,
289
00:16:15,460 --> 00:16:19,290
defensive tackles.
They are safeties are much
290
00:16:19,290 --> 00:16:20,930
bigger than they have been in
the past.
291
00:16:20,930 --> 00:16:24,090
So I think prize got that going
in the right direction with the
292
00:16:24,090 --> 00:16:27,370
players being small thing and
then another thing, some of our
293
00:16:27,370 --> 00:16:31,090
players that played are freshmen
like they are.
294
00:16:31,090 --> 00:16:33,850
This is their first, they're
just now getting on campus for
295
00:16:33,850 --> 00:16:38,010
the most part.
So they're not even to their
296
00:16:38,010 --> 00:16:41,810
peak, but where they will be so.
I think the progress that he's
297
00:16:41,810 --> 00:16:44,970
making is good and I hope we
continue to move forward.
298
00:16:44,970 --> 00:16:47,650
It's going to be a big week so
we can see what we got the test
299
00:16:47,650 --> 00:16:52,050
for us, absolutely we are and
we'll say good evening to Levar
300
00:16:52,250 --> 00:16:54,850
says good night, good evening.
And yeah, it is a work in
301
00:16:54,850 --> 00:16:57,850
progress and it has to be given
some time because you can't
302
00:16:57,850 --> 00:17:00,570
expect the coach to come right
in and what he's given
303
00:17:00,570 --> 00:17:04,130
immediately make 6 foot guys
turn into 6 foot three guys and
304
00:17:04,130 --> 00:17:08,540
220 pound guys to be 260 pound
guys doesn't happen overnight.
305
00:17:08,540 --> 00:17:11,420
So I definitely get that.
All right, So told y'all, we got
306
00:17:11,420 --> 00:17:14,260
a new segment and we're going to
be doing this after every game
307
00:17:14,260 --> 00:17:17,540
and it's something our buddy
coach Robbie Compton and his
308
00:17:17,540 --> 00:17:19,940
team sits down and do every
Monday.
309
00:17:20,619 --> 00:17:24,900
And what they, what we call it
is, we're going to call it is
310
00:17:24,900 --> 00:17:28,660
tell the truth Tuesday.
So tell the truth and what we're
311
00:17:28,660 --> 00:17:30,580
going to be looking for, We're
going to be talking about what
312
00:17:30,580 --> 00:17:37,590
went well in the game, what went
bad, what is something that we
313
00:17:37,590 --> 00:17:39,430
did not prepare for.
And I'm going to just put that
314
00:17:39,430 --> 00:17:42,190
on two things.
We as fans didn't prepare to see
315
00:17:42,190 --> 00:17:45,990
it and where we feel like our
coaching staff didn't prepare to
316
00:17:45,990 --> 00:17:48,190
see it.
And then finally, what can we do
317
00:17:48,190 --> 00:17:51,150
better moving forward?
So you're going, we're going to
318
00:17:51,150 --> 00:17:54,310
do this every Tuesday.
And by all means, if you've got
319
00:17:54,310 --> 00:17:57,640
something that went well as
we're talking about it bad, not
320
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,920
prepared for, or what we got to
do better, move forward, put it
321
00:17:59,920 --> 00:18:01,920
in the chat.
We'd love to hear from you, but
322
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,840
let's start with what went well
and me and Brian sitting on the
323
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:09,240
couch sipping some whiskey on
Saturday night, we actually had
324
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:14,040
an identity on offense.
Say what you want to say, we had
325
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:18,920
an identity on offense.
And the first thing I'll say I
326
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:23,160
noticed was is that the same
tile of bowing in the booth
327
00:18:24,290 --> 00:18:26,970
because those play calls did not
look the same as last year.
328
00:18:26,970 --> 00:18:29,690
What do y'all think?
I mean, yeah, it's a lot, lot
329
00:18:29,690 --> 00:18:31,810
more zone heavy in the running
game.
330
00:18:31,810 --> 00:18:35,490
But from a passing game
perspective, we weren't as
331
00:18:35,490 --> 00:18:40,370
hesitant to throw over the
middle of the field intermediate
332
00:18:40,370 --> 00:18:43,330
routes.
There was, you know, a little
333
00:18:43,330 --> 00:18:45,690
more RPO mixed in there than
what we saw last year.
334
00:18:45,690 --> 00:18:49,050
So it's kind of kind of what we
expected, what we've talked
335
00:18:49,050 --> 00:18:51,690
about a lot, but it's nice to
see some of that play out.
336
00:18:52,210 --> 00:18:56,010
Actually in a live game and not
just hypothetically and not just
337
00:18:56,010 --> 00:19:00,410
in a scrimmage that you watched
or or spring game, so good
338
00:19:00,410 --> 00:19:03,810
seeing the offense kind of take
those steps forward and you know
339
00:19:03,930 --> 00:19:06,690
looks like we we can sling it
around a little bit.
340
00:19:06,690 --> 00:19:10,970
So those playmakers are helping.
Yeah, definitely, definitely
341
00:19:10,970 --> 00:19:14,530
glad that Allergenics man.
Golly.
342
00:19:14,610 --> 00:19:17,850
I mean, he's just explosive,
man.
343
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,200
Besides being on the field, if
you watch like the postgame
344
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:27,240
stuff, like if you've seen how
many of his family he had there,
345
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,320
that's why you recruit people to
come to.
346
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,240
That's why you want Virginia
players to be at Virginia Tech.
347
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:37,000
Like, I don't know how many
tickets his family network after
348
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,240
the game.
He had like 40 people up there.
349
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,080
Yeah man.
And it's like if they can fill a
350
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,560
section by themselves, man, It's
going to be easy to sell the
351
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,840
games out.
But talking about play calling.
352
00:19:48,380 --> 00:19:50,140
Like you said, we did have an
identity.
353
00:19:50,140 --> 00:19:52,860
No matter if we liked the
identity or not, if he was
354
00:19:52,860 --> 00:19:55,620
watching the game, there was an
identity there.
355
00:19:56,100 --> 00:19:59,660
I wish they would have got away
from it sometimes myself because
356
00:20:00,220 --> 00:20:04,300
we were missing stuff or you
know we just didn't find the
357
00:20:04,300 --> 00:20:06,060
holes.
If the we didn't find the open
358
00:20:06,060 --> 00:20:08,180
receiver, if he was there,
different things like that.
359
00:20:08,540 --> 00:20:11,260
But besides that, I mean, we
seen the two, we seen 2
360
00:20:11,260 --> 00:20:14,020
quarterbacks play.
May not have been as much or as
361
00:20:14,020 --> 00:20:17,450
little as some people like, but.
You know, they talked about it
362
00:20:17,490 --> 00:20:19,970
and we've seen both quarterbacks
get in the game.
363
00:20:19,970 --> 00:20:26,490
So I was very, you know,
enthused by what I see when
364
00:20:26,490 --> 00:20:28,330
you're when it's going on,
you're sitting on pins and
365
00:20:28,330 --> 00:20:30,490
needles.
But you know, at the end of the
366
00:20:30,490 --> 00:20:36,370
game, 3617 game, I said 14
points, we win by 19, I'll take
367
00:20:36,370 --> 00:20:38,950
it.
I will take it all day and
368
00:20:38,950 --> 00:20:40,950
tomorrow.
We covered.
369
00:20:41,110 --> 00:20:43,270
She'll know about you, man.
What do you feel about the play
370
00:20:43,270 --> 00:20:44,790
calling?
And I'm I'm sure there's other
371
00:20:44,790 --> 00:20:47,070
things that you always talk
about you saw more of.
372
00:20:48,030 --> 00:20:50,270
Yeah, I thought the, I thought
the the passing concepts were
373
00:20:50,270 --> 00:20:52,790
fantastic.
I mean they got the bottom space
374
00:20:52,790 --> 00:20:55,190
out to the perimeter.
They got wells on some rollouts
375
00:20:55,750 --> 00:20:58,630
where, you know, tech playmakers
could make plays.
376
00:20:59,190 --> 00:21:00,870
I thought the rockcomers were
good.
377
00:21:01,030 --> 00:21:04,950
I love that you mentioned that.
That fake screen pass that
378
00:21:04,950 --> 00:21:08,030
seemed right up the middle with
Gosnell was fantastic and they
379
00:21:08,030 --> 00:21:11,310
actually they use a screen pass
as earlier in the game to set up
380
00:21:11,310 --> 00:21:13,670
a play like that So we can talk
about you know situational play
381
00:21:13,670 --> 00:21:15,790
calling.
You want to use plays to set up
382
00:21:15,790 --> 00:21:17,110
plays later in the game.
They did that.
383
00:21:17,390 --> 00:21:19,270
I thought they had good route
combos.
384
00:21:19,750 --> 00:21:22,430
They they ran option routes that
attacked the leverage of the
385
00:21:22,430 --> 00:21:25,550
defensive acts, like that first
touch on pass at Jennings where
386
00:21:25,950 --> 00:21:28,870
I think he ran a corner routes
to the back corner in the end
387
00:21:28,870 --> 00:21:32,020
zone.
Yeah, and I just, I thought it
388
00:21:32,020 --> 00:21:33,700
was really good.
I mean the the passing team was
389
00:21:33,700 --> 00:21:34,660
good.
Like you said, they went over
390
00:21:34,660 --> 00:21:38,180
the middle, which Bowen's
predecessor certainly did not do
391
00:21:38,300 --> 00:21:40,380
any of.
I thought it was really good
392
00:21:40,380 --> 00:21:42,740
overall.
Yeah, any, I mean.
393
00:21:44,100 --> 00:21:46,220
Any and it was, it was multiple
concepts.
394
00:21:46,220 --> 00:21:48,420
You call crossers.
You called, you saw some drags,
395
00:21:48,420 --> 00:21:51,340
you saw again that right dig to
the middle of the field.
396
00:21:51,820 --> 00:21:55,700
That is very awkward, to see a
tight end get up the seam and
397
00:21:55,700 --> 00:21:59,080
then just stop, come back.
Grant Wells almost took the
398
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,440
umpire's head off like that
dude.
399
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,120
By the way, quick reaction time
of that umpire to get out of the
400
00:22:05,120 --> 00:22:07,800
way.
But something else I want to
401
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,520
say, and there's a couple
comments in here.
402
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,280
We'll throw them up in just a
second about what went well.
403
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:16,520
Give Grant Wells, dude, he was
not perfect and when he came out
404
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:20,640
he was jacked to the sky.
Somebody helped that boy calm
405
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,800
down before in the first quarter
of a game because.
406
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,800
He had the crazy eyes, man.
He had the crazy eyes and he was
407
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:27,080
missing.
Just missing.
408
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,840
And I go back and look, if he's
not his amp, Tune's probably a
409
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:32,320
touchdown.
We probably get another first
410
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,320
down.
The game might have been really
411
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,960
more indicative of how it
looked.
412
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,800
But tally, give, give your man
some props.
413
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,600
Because Tally, yeah, everybody
knows, man.
414
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:50,320
I'm very critical of any
quarterback, but definitely
415
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:51,880
Grant Wells, because I've
watched him.
416
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:54,800
But when?
When I just said no turnovers,
417
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,570
man, I said no unforced
turnovers and he didn't have
418
00:22:58,570 --> 00:23:01,050
any.
You know, he protected the ball.
419
00:23:01,370 --> 00:23:03,970
The line protected him.
I don't think they had a sack.
420
00:23:04,490 --> 00:23:07,450
You know, as bad as people
talking about our line is, and
421
00:23:07,970 --> 00:23:09,170
we didn't do this.
We didn't.
422
00:23:09,170 --> 00:23:11,970
We didn't give up a sack.
Well, ODU wasn't good.
423
00:23:11,970 --> 00:23:14,170
I don't fucking care if we play
in the school of the blind.
424
00:23:14,610 --> 00:23:17,650
If they ain't having
quarterback, then that's good.
425
00:23:18,090 --> 00:23:20,570
Had no sacks.
He had no touched.
426
00:23:20,610 --> 00:23:24,450
I mean, no turnovers.
Had no interceptions.
427
00:23:24,570 --> 00:23:28,710
Hey, I'm good and like I said,
it's a victory because last year
428
00:23:28,710 --> 00:23:31,830
was not a victory and we had
four interceptions.
429
00:23:32,110 --> 00:23:34,630
So that's progress to me.
I'll take.
430
00:23:36,790 --> 00:23:39,150
It good point by Cobbs here
talking about minimizing
431
00:23:39,150 --> 00:23:41,070
penalties and winning the
turnover battle.
432
00:23:41,310 --> 00:23:42,950
We didn't do that a whole lot
last year.
433
00:23:44,030 --> 00:23:47,870
We had and usually we'd either
have one, the other or both.
434
00:23:48,110 --> 00:23:51,910
And we had both against ODU last
year where we had a bunch of
435
00:23:51,910 --> 00:23:54,350
penalties, we had a bunch of
turnovers.
436
00:23:54,940 --> 00:23:58,300
Completely flip the flip the the
script on that this year, so
437
00:23:58,700 --> 00:24:06,140
excited to see that and just I
think overall seeing Grant
438
00:24:06,140 --> 00:24:10,940
finally settle in and and and
have he put 33 good quarters
439
00:24:10,940 --> 00:24:13,140
together that that first quarter
a little shaky.
440
00:24:13,140 --> 00:24:16,780
I think sometimes you know I
think even you know the drone
441
00:24:16,780 --> 00:24:19,780
swap in there kind of threw his
his rhythm off a little bit too.
442
00:24:19,780 --> 00:24:21,740
So yeah, it seemed a little
forced to me.
443
00:24:22,310 --> 00:24:24,910
Yeah, yeah.
And we'll talk about that.
444
00:24:24,910 --> 00:24:28,430
But as far as like what went
well, I mean, you said that pass
445
00:24:28,430 --> 00:24:32,870
Pro was good.
Grant had a really good pocket
446
00:24:33,030 --> 00:24:36,150
most of the night.
Is that the best pocket he's
447
00:24:36,150 --> 00:24:37,910
ever had as a coach?
He's QB.
448
00:24:38,750 --> 00:24:41,430
I mean, yeah.
Statistically, yes.
449
00:24:42,310 --> 00:24:44,950
From what?
From what we've been watching,
450
00:24:44,950 --> 00:24:48,550
yes, statistically.
Yes, go ahead.
451
00:24:49,010 --> 00:24:53,490
They allowed two quarterback
Currys the entire game, fewest
452
00:24:53,490 --> 00:24:58,290
since Duke in 2021.
And he draw back what, like 37?
453
00:24:58,290 --> 00:25:01,450
30 times, Yeah, 30 times, yeah.
So that's like, I mean, I don't
454
00:25:01,450 --> 00:25:03,850
know what wonder what that's
like 8%, That's nothing.
455
00:25:04,610 --> 00:25:08,250
Yeah, that's pretty.
Tell me 8%, I would advise
456
00:25:08,490 --> 00:25:12,890
everybody who is a hokey fan who
is like me, very critical of
457
00:25:12,890 --> 00:25:15,650
everything that goes on on the
team and you get some free time,
458
00:25:16,710 --> 00:25:20,390
go back and rewatch the games
and watch the lines, because I
459
00:25:20,390 --> 00:25:24,070
know it's so hard because the
camera's going where the ball
460
00:25:24,070 --> 00:25:25,390
is.
But if you can just watch the
461
00:25:25,390 --> 00:25:30,110
line and go back and watch last
year's line, even if you just go
462
00:25:30,110 --> 00:25:32,590
watch ODU, just go watch the ODU
game.
463
00:25:32,910 --> 00:25:36,230
That game for this game, it it
is, it's different.
464
00:25:36,350 --> 00:25:38,830
You know we can talk about,
well, it's just ODU.
465
00:25:39,120 --> 00:25:41,000
It was just ODU last year and we
lost.
466
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,600
Great job by the line just to
protect the man, Great job by
467
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,560
the fans, man.
The fans got two points in
468
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,480
there, you know, y'all yelling
and screaming and jumping.
469
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,440
Had him snapping the ball 50
feet over his fucking head.
470
00:25:54,720 --> 00:26:01,720
So yeah, I asked the question on
Twitter, like maybe a week
471
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,640
before the season of who would
score the first points and
472
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,240
nobody say it.
Fans.
473
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,600
That was who scored the first
points, The fans.
474
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:14,840
And it was loud in that man.
It was loud and I tell you what
475
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,880
one reason it continued to stay
loud was not only scoring points
476
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,120
moving the ball.
We talked about it last week go
477
00:26:22,120 --> 00:26:27,120
hit the quarterback Brian we put
pressure on them all night and
478
00:26:27,120 --> 00:26:29,440
and she'll not let you start
pulling the data but Brian just
479
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,760
watching just the the line all
night push.
480
00:26:34,940 --> 00:26:36,900
Yeah, I mean talk about a PR
man.
481
00:26:36,900 --> 00:26:41,180
He was coming off the edge hot
every snap, Every time there was
482
00:26:41,180 --> 00:26:45,140
a drop back, he was coming off
the edge hot. 5 sacks compared
483
00:26:45,140 --> 00:26:48,820
to one last year, four other
tackles for loss.
484
00:26:48,820 --> 00:26:51,220
I mean that that's that's solid
across the board.
485
00:26:52,340 --> 00:26:56,860
You know, a PR good start to his
potential ten sack campaign this
486
00:26:56,860 --> 00:26:59,740
year.
Already A2.
487
00:27:00,020 --> 00:27:02,420
Yeah, already A2, already A2.
That's a.
488
00:27:02,500 --> 00:27:07,480
That's a good start, Game one.
Yeah, I mean I think the the
489
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,760
pressure we've got a pass rush
now.
490
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,040
Having a pass rush makes the
rest of the defense a lot
491
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,560
easier.
So if we if we can keep that up
492
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:20,800
against as the competition you
know slowly ratchets up as we go
493
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:24,040
through September here, it's
going to be interesting to see
494
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,240
if we can maintain that, but
good start at the gate.
495
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:32,800
What about your BMF tally?
First, second of you, Burgos,
496
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,000
you know, yeah, you're looking
around, man, and you see people
497
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:37,600
around the quarterback just get
there.
498
00:27:38,120 --> 00:27:40,560
You know, you see you.
We had a couple of different
499
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:41,800
people getting to the
quarterback.
500
00:27:42,120 --> 00:27:44,600
And Burgos is a young guy.
I think he's a sophomore.
501
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:49,400
You know he is.
Shoot, he's, he's come in and
502
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,240
stole some, stole some playing
time.
503
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,960
He's starting.
You know, I would have never
504
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:55,680
said Burgos was going to be the
starter.
505
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,200
And he goes in, he's got the
first sack of the year.
506
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:03,880
I think Penne got him a sack.
CJ McCray comes off the bench,
507
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:08,040
he gets his sack.
Like games like that just build
508
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,560
some confidence, you know, and
it makes the other team have the
509
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,040
game plan.
That's a couple of things that
510
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,480
we didn't have in the past
years.
511
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,320
We didn't have people game
planning for certain linemen.
512
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,800
We didn't have people game
planning for more than one
513
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:28,040
offensive playmaker.
So excited about that. 100% and
514
00:28:28,360 --> 00:28:31,720
and you saw it all night, it was
all areas of the line.
515
00:28:32,150 --> 00:28:34,630
That we're creating the pressure
and it was when the backups came
516
00:28:34,630 --> 00:28:37,670
in, like you said, McCray got a
sack and they got a sack.
517
00:28:38,270 --> 00:28:40,790
Sheldon, were you able to pull
up anything about how much
518
00:28:40,790 --> 00:28:43,350
pressures we got throughout the
night versus ODU?
519
00:28:44,430 --> 00:28:46,510
Yes, I'm trying to, Yeah.
Yeah.
520
00:28:46,510 --> 00:28:49,910
So I got it here.
So we had 16 total pressures,
521
00:28:50,150 --> 00:28:53,830
which includes 5 sacks and 11
quarterback hurries.
522
00:28:53,870 --> 00:28:55,630
Good.
So I don't.
523
00:28:55,630 --> 00:28:58,230
Know they only draw back like 25
times.
524
00:28:58,710 --> 00:28:59,990
Probably something like that,
yeah.
525
00:29:00,750 --> 00:29:04,240
I mean obviously.
Apr was just a stud and like he,
526
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,560
I mean he can do the bull rush.
I mean he'll just he'll just
527
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,520
dominate you.
So I'm really I'm really excited
528
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,760
about him and CG McRae I I
thought I was gonna play more
529
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:14,160
than he did.
He only played him full of
530
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,200
snaps, probably only got like.
Six, yeah, I was looking at that
531
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,440
too show and that threw me off a
little bit because I mean he
532
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,120
looks good when he gets in.
So I I don't know.
533
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,480
I'm, I don't know about that.
I think he may be one of those
534
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,490
light players.
You know, lights turn on and he
535
00:29:30,570 --> 00:29:32,530
he, he shows up.
Yep.
536
00:29:32,850 --> 00:29:37,530
And so if the the number Shelton
just gave, they drop back 25
537
00:29:37,530 --> 00:29:43,330
times, that's a 64% that we were
getting hurries and then
538
00:29:43,330 --> 00:29:48,450
finishing on 30% of those.
If you tell me those are the
539
00:29:48,450 --> 00:29:53,520
numbers all year, write it down.
I wouldn't back away from that
540
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,040
because that's some crazy
numbers and I know they're going
541
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:57,360
their things are going to level
out.
542
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:01,080
But just that start tally and
Brian, I'm going to let y'all
543
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:02,920
just talk about this before we
go to.
544
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,120
Unfortunately we got to say that
what didn't go well, how much
545
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:09,880
confidence do y'all think now
those young players have and
546
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,760
those guys who didn't
experience, you know, wins last
547
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:15,720
year, first time we scored 30
points.
548
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,960
Since.
Oh God, it's been well over 2
549
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:21,000
years.
You got on Twitter.
550
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,990
People was pissed.
We was all pissed.
551
00:30:24,550 --> 00:30:26,870
Everybody was on there.
Oh, he should have scored more.
552
00:30:27,150 --> 00:30:30,350
Oh, this is we look horrible.
Oh, such and such is better.
553
00:30:30,350 --> 00:30:36,070
Every game is related to
Virginia Tech in hokey Twitter's
554
00:30:36,070 --> 00:30:37,590
eyes.
I understand.
555
00:30:38,070 --> 00:30:41,510
We got to take a breath, man.
If we get a win, we get a loss.
556
00:30:41,510 --> 00:30:44,260
I'm going to be on that edge
with you, but we could win and
557
00:30:44,300 --> 00:30:50,020
we win by 1.3 stores.
I got to slow myself down man,
558
00:30:50,020 --> 00:30:53,140
because I again, I go back and
I'm y'all are going to get tired
559
00:30:53,140 --> 00:30:55,060
of me saying it.
But this is what I think.
560
00:30:55,620 --> 00:30:58,820
You lose by a lot, then you lose
by a little, you win by a
561
00:30:58,820 --> 00:31:01,580
little, then you win by a lot.
If this is the year that we're
562
00:31:01,580 --> 00:31:05,540
winning by a little and we start
off with a 19 point win, I'll
563
00:31:05,540 --> 00:31:07,580
take it.
I will take it.
564
00:31:07,980 --> 00:31:09,890
Yeah.
I'm right there with you.
565
00:31:09,890 --> 00:31:13,690
I think this is a a good start
for the confidence of this young
566
00:31:13,690 --> 00:31:17,450
team, which I mean they are
young in a lot of places that
567
00:31:17,450 --> 00:31:23,610
matter, you know, offensive
line, linebacker, secondary.
568
00:31:24,210 --> 00:31:26,930
You know, we're we're young in a
lot of places, but we've Got
569
00:31:27,450 --> 00:31:31,010
Talent to go with that this
year, whereas last year it was
570
00:31:31,010 --> 00:31:34,970
mostly just just a lot of youth
and.
571
00:31:35,650 --> 00:31:38,210
And and and and or or sixyear
guys that.
572
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,520
Didn't see at the field a ton
those previous five years.
573
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:46,440
So it's good to kind of flip
that around a little bit and get
574
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:50,080
some confidence early because I
feel like we can kind of carry
575
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:53,600
that momentum here into Purdue,
get get home again the very next
576
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,560
week.
If you can start stacking a
577
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,800
couple there together, that'll
give you some confidence as you
578
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:01,320
head on the road back-to-back
weeks against Rutgers and
579
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,370
Marshall.
And and hopefully carry through
580
00:32:04,370 --> 00:32:07,010
September and have a have a have
a good September if you know
581
00:32:07,210 --> 00:32:08,690
finish.
Been a long time.
582
00:32:08,890 --> 00:32:11,730
It'd be nice to finish 401.
We had a good, so five or five
583
00:32:11,730 --> 00:32:13,970
and oh in September.
But you know, I don't want to
584
00:32:13,970 --> 00:32:16,090
get ahead of myself, let's let's
look at Purdue first.
585
00:32:16,090 --> 00:32:18,490
But carrying that confidence
into Purdue is important.
586
00:32:18,690 --> 00:32:20,770
Yes, it is.
Now let's just be real.
587
00:32:20,770 --> 00:32:23,290
Not everything was sunshine and
roses Saturday night.
588
00:32:23,290 --> 00:32:25,090
We know it and we'll talk about
it.
589
00:32:25,090 --> 00:32:27,250
And this is where we go.
To tell the truth.
590
00:32:27,250 --> 00:32:30,290
Tuesday, what went bad.
And I think you know.
591
00:32:31,060 --> 00:32:33,060
And y'all can, we've already hit
on this a little bit.
592
00:32:33,060 --> 00:32:35,580
That first quarter was kind of
shaky, getting the cobwebs off
593
00:32:35,580 --> 00:32:39,700
and getting the rust off.
I think what was more important
594
00:32:39,700 --> 00:32:43,260
though is what happened in the
second quarter, They did shake
595
00:32:43,260 --> 00:32:44,660
it off.
So it was bad.
596
00:32:44,660 --> 00:32:47,860
You started slow.
I don't think we can start slow
597
00:32:48,020 --> 00:32:51,420
in the next three weeks,
especially in the next three
598
00:32:51,420 --> 00:32:53,020
weeks.
We cannot have the slow start
599
00:32:53,020 --> 00:32:55,620
like that or we will be playing
from behind.
600
00:32:55,900 --> 00:32:58,380
But as much as that was
something.
601
00:32:58,950 --> 00:33:01,710
Brian, I know you watched the
tape and you were screaming all
602
00:33:01,710 --> 00:33:05,870
night about linebacker fits in
in containment, so the floor is
603
00:33:05,870 --> 00:33:09,630
yours.
Yeah, backside contain was not
604
00:33:09,630 --> 00:33:13,510
very good.
We ended up letting quarterbacks
605
00:33:13,510 --> 00:33:15,230
sneak out, get leaky in the
backfield.
606
00:33:15,230 --> 00:33:19,310
We had a couple runs that were
cutbacks.
607
00:33:19,430 --> 00:33:22,470
One in particular was cut all
the way across the field.
608
00:33:23,820 --> 00:33:26,980
All the way across the whole dam
field they were they were trying
609
00:33:26,980 --> 00:33:28,900
to set up a double pass.
Next thing you know they still
610
00:33:28,900 --> 00:33:30,780
got the first down on the other
side of the field.
611
00:33:32,740 --> 00:33:35,660
You got, you got to make sure
when you're pursuing that you're
612
00:33:35,660 --> 00:33:41,620
pursuing with contain leverage
because eventually that's going
613
00:33:41,620 --> 00:33:44,860
to come and bite you in the ass
and linebacker fits.
614
00:33:44,860 --> 00:33:48,740
You know some of that had to do
with ODU that that ultra spread
615
00:33:48,740 --> 00:33:51,100
they had those stacked receivers
in that ultra spread.
616
00:33:51,100 --> 00:33:53,100
They had everybody kind of
outside the numbers.
617
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,760
That spreads you out.
We I don't think we did a good
618
00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:01,400
job of adjusting to that quick
enough but the the fits in
619
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:06,800
general were were inconsistent.
I think we had a we had you guys
620
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,320
kind of not where they needed to
be on a handful of plays.
621
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,520
We saw guys start to over
pursue.
622
00:34:13,159 --> 00:34:16,520
Once the running back had some
kind of a couple Gasher runs
623
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:20,040
they started over keying on the
running back over pursuing the
624
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:21,960
play.
That set up some big runs for
625
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:22,960
the quarterback.
So.
626
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,760
Got to clean that up.
But definitely a fixable thing.
627
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:30,280
But definitely one of the from a
defensive standpoint, the kind
628
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,480
of the biggest blemish to take
away from ODU.
629
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,600
Yeah, yeah, we had some like
pretty much like you said
630
00:34:39,159 --> 00:34:42,679
Brian's talking about the the
linebacker fits and things like
631
00:34:42,679 --> 00:34:44,800
that.
It's even on some of those plays
632
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:46,440
where we got pressure on the
quarterback.
633
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:50,280
He escaped and you know made a
run out of it and you know, may
634
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,260
have got a first down or got 7-8
yards.
635
00:34:54,580 --> 00:34:56,780
We got to do a better job.
But when we're fitting those
636
00:34:56,780 --> 00:35:00,460
holes, you know, keeping that
outside arm free so we can be in
637
00:35:00,460 --> 00:35:03,860
those running lanes to try to
slow them down or rip the ball
638
00:35:03,860 --> 00:35:06,460
out of something.
And I think a lot of new people
639
00:35:06,460 --> 00:35:10,780
at new places are just going to
have to learn that on the fly.
640
00:35:11,180 --> 00:35:13,460
You know, it sucks that that's
what college, that's what
641
00:35:13,460 --> 00:35:17,460
football is.
But we we got, we got to do a
642
00:35:17,460 --> 00:35:21,280
better job of when we do get
pressure and pressures all
643
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,800
around that quarterback, we
definitely don't need him to
644
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:25,640
burst out of there and get 10
yards.
645
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:29,720
So fitting and containing and
things like that, we got to do a
646
00:35:29,720 --> 00:35:32,640
much better job at.
Because that that wasn't good.
647
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:36,800
Sheldon hit us up real quick.
What were the linebacker?
648
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,000
You have the linebackers grades
up there.
649
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,480
I do, yes.
Basically, just to give you this
650
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:47,200
skinny Lawson was pretty bad.
Keller was pretty bad.
651
00:35:48,290 --> 00:35:51,610
Trying to look around here for
guys who got at least a handful
652
00:35:51,610 --> 00:35:53,530
of steps.
Tisdale was OK, but he was not
653
00:35:53,530 --> 00:35:58,290
great on in the run fits.
So yeah that's kind of, that's
654
00:35:58,290 --> 00:36:00,010
kind of was.
And then CJ McRae was a little
655
00:36:00,010 --> 00:36:01,690
bit better, but didn't he didn't
play very much.
656
00:36:02,210 --> 00:36:04,530
And then Will Johnson, they had
him a little bit better, which I
657
00:36:04,530 --> 00:36:08,090
thought was surprising because I
thought he made a couple for
658
00:36:08,170 --> 00:36:10,610
poor fits there as well.
So yeah and especially with the
659
00:36:10,610 --> 00:36:13,010
run defense it was not great.
So but that's, I mean that's
660
00:36:13,010 --> 00:36:14,330
kind of what we saw last year
too.
661
00:36:14,330 --> 00:36:15,610
Like these guys are still
growing.
662
00:36:16,150 --> 00:36:18,470
So you figure out at some point,
hopefully they can, you know,
663
00:36:18,510 --> 00:36:21,070
kind of start making those
mental mistakes.
664
00:36:21,710 --> 00:36:23,230
Yep.
And I think the big part of it,
665
00:36:23,230 --> 00:36:28,310
now that you say that is now all
those guys, because that really
666
00:36:28,310 --> 00:36:31,790
was the first time that those
guys were working together as a
667
00:36:31,790 --> 00:36:35,630
unit, right?
It's on tape, it's on tape.
668
00:36:35,630 --> 00:36:38,310
You can sit down.
I do have a feeling Coach Pride
669
00:36:38,310 --> 00:36:40,750
is going to be going into that
room quite a few times this
670
00:36:40,750 --> 00:36:42,900
week.
Have some conversations with
671
00:36:42,900 --> 00:36:44,900
people about what's been going
on.
672
00:36:45,620 --> 00:36:47,620
Couple other things.
We definitely talked about, you
673
00:36:47,620 --> 00:36:51,300
know, not being the best.
And again, what are some
674
00:36:51,580 --> 00:36:54,860
defensive coaching adjustments?
It felt like, especially on
675
00:36:54,860 --> 00:37:02,260
those runs, it took us about 3/4
to finally decide, OK, we're
676
00:37:02,260 --> 00:37:04,820
going to adjust to this now.
When we made the adjustment,
677
00:37:06,060 --> 00:37:08,860
them moving the ball was over
pretty much for the remainder of
678
00:37:08,860 --> 00:37:12,360
the game.
But Brian, this is Chris Moss
679
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:14,800
first time.
What do you think?
680
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,640
Do you think this was just
trying to go to the well one too
681
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:21,520
many times or was it trying to
get enough data to decide?
682
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:25,280
OK, we've got to adjust now.
So I'm going to take a little
683
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:29,080
bit of a hedge here.
I think Marv saw that he had
684
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:33,240
lost a key piece of his
secondary and knew the youth
685
00:37:33,240 --> 00:37:37,160
that was behind that and didn't
want to shift to what he needed
686
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:42,480
to shift to, which is.
Running a lot more man outside
687
00:37:42,720 --> 00:37:46,360
and committing a couple more
players into the box to keep the
688
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,920
the holes a little bit less
leaky and make being able to get
689
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:51,600
to those fits a little bit
easier.
690
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:55,640
But I think he was a little bit
of hesitant going to that.
691
00:37:55,640 --> 00:38:00,080
Like I said, you had Stroman out
once, he was out on that end of
692
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,360
the first half.
Maybe he was a little bit
693
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:06,160
hesitant of going to that on a
consistent basis.
694
00:38:07,330 --> 00:38:09,450
That's when they had you know
some success in the running game
695
00:38:09,450 --> 00:38:11,050
there.
So once he finally made the
696
00:38:11,050 --> 00:38:13,850
adjustment and you know the
clock was kind of against them
697
00:38:13,850 --> 00:38:15,890
and they had to go in more
passing, I mean we can just shut
698
00:38:15,890 --> 00:38:19,210
it down after that.
So if you can get there a little
699
00:38:19,210 --> 00:38:21,410
bit quicker that'd be nice.
And like I said, I don't know if
700
00:38:21,410 --> 00:38:26,610
the the reason is because of
those issues with targeting or
701
00:38:26,610 --> 00:38:28,930
or if it had something else to
do with just you know, not
702
00:38:28,930 --> 00:38:31,210
wanting to lean on the the
younger guys as quick.
703
00:38:32,410 --> 00:38:36,570
And some of it too was I think
pry hit on it in the like the
704
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:43,680
halftime presser halftime little
you know interview or whatever
705
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,520
that he had when he talked about
you know that we were sending
706
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:49,440
pressure and when you're sending
pressure you're leaving some
707
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,680
part of the field open, you
know, whether it's for them to
708
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,000
run a draw or them to run a pop
pass or something.
709
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,680
And he was like, hey I mean we
send a lot of pressure.
710
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,360
We might I might have to talk to
him about you know holding up a
711
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,840
little bit.
So that's I think that's Marv
712
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:07,210
just trying to he was trying to
make something happen and great
713
00:39:07,210 --> 00:39:09,410
job of getting pressured to the
quarterback when we got it.
714
00:39:09,410 --> 00:39:12,330
But every now and then we need
somebody to stay there and
715
00:39:12,330 --> 00:39:14,210
inspired.
We need to you know drop back
716
00:39:14,210 --> 00:39:15,530
and coverage and things like
that.
717
00:39:15,530 --> 00:39:19,370
So he's young and he's learning.
So I think, like you said,
718
00:39:19,370 --> 00:39:22,090
pride's going, he's probably
popping his head in that room a
719
00:39:22,090 --> 00:39:26,050
lot this week, especially with
who we're playing and what's
720
00:39:26,050 --> 00:39:29,370
coming up that we'll talk about.
And I'm gonna hit the Gray cat
721
00:39:29,370 --> 00:39:32,010
up here because he mentions they
are an experience and it did
722
00:39:32,010 --> 00:39:35,340
show but.
There were some athleticism
723
00:39:35,340 --> 00:39:39,700
there because as as many, as
many gashes as we got.
724
00:39:40,020 --> 00:39:44,980
You know, no one ever broke
anything over 30 yards and there
725
00:39:44,980 --> 00:39:47,980
were only three explosive runs
over 20 plus yards.
726
00:39:47,980 --> 00:39:50,460
So you know, again, it's on tape
now.
727
00:39:50,900 --> 00:39:55,980
And one last piece of the bad we
got to talk about Brian wanted
728
00:39:55,980 --> 00:39:59,940
five yards of carry.
Sheldon, hold on, hold on.
729
00:39:59,940 --> 00:40:02,180
Always that Sheldon Shelton's
Our dad got Shelton.
730
00:40:02,180 --> 00:40:05,310
Did we get 5 yards of carry?
Not even close.
731
00:40:08,390 --> 00:40:11,670
No, you could double like you
could double and we barely would
732
00:40:11,670 --> 00:40:13,910
get it.
So.
733
00:40:13,990 --> 00:40:18,630
Brian brother was bad.
Just just tell me what you saw
734
00:40:18,630 --> 00:40:21,590
and I know are we going to do
the tape now or is just going to
735
00:40:21,590 --> 00:40:25,030
be later?
We we can do the tape.
736
00:40:25,470 --> 00:40:27,710
Got a few?
Clips here and Brian's going to
737
00:40:27,710 --> 00:40:31,870
do some explanation because
Brian where we getting shoved
738
00:40:31,870 --> 00:40:36,940
back in our laps.
For the most part no we we were
739
00:40:36,940 --> 00:40:41,140
we were at least getting some
stalemates some decent push I
740
00:40:41,140 --> 00:40:45,420
would say on the on the front
there you know the problem was
741
00:40:45,420 --> 00:40:49,340
we weren't getting to the second
level worth of damn and you know
742
00:40:49,340 --> 00:40:51,660
we'll we'll talk about that a
little bit but against that
743
00:40:51,660 --> 00:40:54,540
three man front that odd front
especially if it's a stacked
744
00:40:54,540 --> 00:40:57,500
front that can be problematic
so.
745
00:40:58,100 --> 00:41:01,540
We can look at a couple here.
Say thank you to Shelton for
746
00:41:01,660 --> 00:41:03,660
getting these pulled for us so
we can take a look all.
747
00:41:05,620 --> 00:41:07,500
Righty.
Can we go first clip?
748
00:41:09,700 --> 00:41:11,260
There was one of the times,
yeah.
749
00:41:11,260 --> 00:41:13,300
I'm just going to let it run
first and then we can kind of
750
00:41:13,300 --> 00:41:17,820
run it back here.
So let me just inside zone here.
751
00:41:18,700 --> 00:41:21,260
We but we got 2 problems.
Both of those inside linebackers
752
00:41:21,260 --> 00:41:22,820
there are going to get in the
backfield.
753
00:41:24,180 --> 00:41:26,620
You got Benji up there up at the
top of Parker.
754
00:41:27,650 --> 00:41:31,330
A little slow getting hip to hip
here means Parker's a little
755
00:41:31,330 --> 00:41:35,290
late coming off.
You got a linebacker in the
756
00:41:35,290 --> 00:41:37,570
backfield.
Get a little hit on the running
757
00:41:37,570 --> 00:41:40,170
back, but let's move inside a
little bit more.
758
00:41:40,290 --> 00:41:44,330
We got Shick and we got Kate
Moore at the right Garden
759
00:41:44,330 --> 00:41:48,690
center.
Bob Shick does not do a good job
760
00:41:48,690 --> 00:41:50,330
of trying to take over this nose
here.
761
00:41:50,650 --> 00:41:54,650
He didn't use his eyes.
Looking at that backer comes off
762
00:41:54,650 --> 00:41:57,950
a little too quick.
That backers up in there on the
763
00:41:57,950 --> 00:42:00,790
play side A and he's trying to
come over the top.
764
00:42:01,390 --> 00:42:02,990
He should have pushed Kaden off
here.
765
00:42:03,910 --> 00:42:06,270
Kaden should have been picking
up that that backer there.
766
00:42:07,230 --> 00:42:09,790
So both those backers kind of
get a free run at the at the
767
00:42:09,790 --> 00:42:12,230
running back here.
Make a little tackle for loss.
768
00:42:12,670 --> 00:42:16,150
Fortunately only one of a what a
what A couple tackles for loss
769
00:42:16,150 --> 00:42:18,950
in the game here.
But that one was pretty ugly.
770
00:42:19,110 --> 00:42:22,870
Two guys, not really really Two
sets of combo blocks.
771
00:42:22,870 --> 00:42:25,030
Not really going off and getting
to the second level the way you
772
00:42:25,030 --> 00:42:27,690
want to see them.
Yeah, and that linebacker, I
773
00:42:27,730 --> 00:42:29,130
think it was 42.
He's good.
774
00:42:30,210 --> 00:42:32,130
Oh yeah, he's a good.
He's a good linebacker.
775
00:42:32,450 --> 00:42:37,770
You got to put a hat on him.
Yeah, I think this is just guys
776
00:42:37,770 --> 00:42:40,450
not not communicating and not
using their eyes.
777
00:42:41,370 --> 00:42:45,090
Something that that should get
better with time, but not not a
778
00:42:45,090 --> 00:42:48,730
good effort on this play in
particular and we'll go ahead
779
00:42:48,730 --> 00:42:57,080
and run the second one here.
Somebody would have just got
780
00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:00,000
that guy.
Was that the middle linebacker?
781
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:03,320
Well, you at least get you'll
give a solid 5 yard gain here.
782
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:07,480
If if we're watching Bob shake
here, he's he's going to have a
783
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:12,440
combo on the the defensive end
down here at the bottom and this
784
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:16,280
backer here.
But he he takes his own step,
785
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:19,920
but he gets his shoulders turn
too much.
786
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:22,720
He doesn't keep them parallel
enough with a lot of scrimmage.
787
00:43:22,720 --> 00:43:27,250
So he kind of loses this backer.
If he'd have kept his shoulders
788
00:43:27,250 --> 00:43:31,090
a little more square, gave his
little little right hand punch,
789
00:43:31,090 --> 00:43:34,250
but he kept his eyes on the
backer, he'd be able to see
790
00:43:34,250 --> 00:43:38,130
where that guy's going.
He wouldn't miss getting that
791
00:43:38,130 --> 00:43:41,690
wall because we get that wall
and seal on the linebacker here,
792
00:43:42,410 --> 00:43:44,570
That's at least a solid 5 yard
game.
793
00:43:44,770 --> 00:43:49,250
There's gonna be some contact
right this level here and you'll
794
00:43:49,250 --> 00:43:52,620
you'll end up getting, like I
said, a solid. 5-6 yards at
795
00:43:52,620 --> 00:43:54,060
least.
If you break a tackle, you might
796
00:43:54,060 --> 00:43:57,340
end up getting a few more so.
He looking he looking third
797
00:43:57,340 --> 00:44:00,020
level before you go to 2nd.
Yeah, yeah.
798
00:44:00,900 --> 00:44:03,260
And I mean, I get it.
He, he clears here, he doesn't
799
00:44:03,260 --> 00:44:04,900
see anybody.
He's finding, he's finding the
800
00:44:04,900 --> 00:44:06,660
next guy to hit that.
I mean, that's what you're
801
00:44:06,660 --> 00:44:09,500
supposed to do.
But he lost the live backer that
802
00:44:09,500 --> 00:44:11,100
that should have been the guy
he's sealing off.
803
00:44:12,660 --> 00:44:14,740
Good deal.
Thanks Siegler for breaking that
804
00:44:14,740 --> 00:44:17,060
tape down.
Hopefully some of those things
805
00:44:17,060 --> 00:44:21,680
can get corrected before next.
Or for this Saturday.
806
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:24,320
Excuse me, We'll get into that
in just a few seconds.
807
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:27,000
I'm I'm hoping Bob Chick is not
a weekly punching bag all.
808
00:44:29,720 --> 00:44:32,080
Right, I'm hoping.
I'm hoping the quarterback pull
809
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:34,640
a couple of those too.
There you.
810
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:36,800
Go.
All right, so the third thing
811
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:39,800
we're going to always talk is
what happened that we were not
812
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:42,360
prepared for.
And we wrote just two things
813
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:45,320
down on this.
I think the 1st and Brian's
814
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:49,040
already mentioned it was the RPO
middle rushes from that stacked
815
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:51,390
ultra spread.
I don't think anybody saw that
816
00:44:51,390 --> 00:44:53,470
happening.
Honest to God, don't.
817
00:44:53,630 --> 00:44:56,870
If somebody had that outlined
out there, please send us the
818
00:44:56,870 --> 00:44:59,030
article where somebody said it
out loud.
819
00:44:59,030 --> 00:45:01,510
I don't think anybody saw.
Nobody watched enough Fordham
820
00:45:01,510 --> 00:45:02,630
tape, apparently.
I don't know.
821
00:45:03,150 --> 00:45:04,910
Yeah, but I don't think they did
that often at.
822
00:45:04,910 --> 00:45:07,950
Fordham, though, they didn't.
They didn't.
823
00:45:08,350 --> 00:45:11,030
And then the other one would be
the linebacker combination
824
00:45:11,030 --> 00:45:13,150
because Sheldon you just
mentioned there a few minutes
825
00:45:13,150 --> 00:45:16,990
ago Will Johnson actually had a
significant amount of stops and
826
00:45:17,070 --> 00:45:18,750
and then just kind of looking at
it.
827
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:24,120
It wasn't always like Mike Will
because there is at one point
828
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:27,120
time it was him and Lawson on
the field at the same time.
829
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:29,760
Which one of those two things
were more surprising or y'all
830
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:35,400
didn't expect Shelton?
Of those two, I'll defer to
831
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:39,360
Brian here because I think he
would have better insight on
832
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:44,640
this.
Yeah, I mean I think the to me
833
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:46,840
it would be the linebacker
combinations.
834
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:51,050
I think the.
You expected probably a new
835
00:45:51,050 --> 00:45:54,610
wrinkle from ODUI mean they're
playing an instate rival,
836
00:45:54,810 --> 00:45:57,690
technically a level up in terms
of Power 5 versus G5.
837
00:45:57,690 --> 00:46:02,170
You knew they're going to pull
out something to mess with us
838
00:46:02,170 --> 00:46:06,490
schematically because they
probably can't match up talent
839
00:46:06,490 --> 00:46:10,050
for talent at this point,
especially on the defensive side
840
00:46:10,050 --> 00:46:12,810
of the ball.
So you kind of expected some
841
00:46:12,810 --> 00:46:15,150
sort of wrinkle there?
I think the linebacker
842
00:46:15,150 --> 00:46:17,670
combinations are interesting
just because we saw WILL in the
843
00:46:17,670 --> 00:46:20,070
too deep.
You know we didn't know.
844
00:46:20,350 --> 00:46:23,030
You know there was talk of
McDonald being in the too deep
845
00:46:23,030 --> 00:46:24,110
there.
There's a lot of different
846
00:46:24,110 --> 00:46:25,630
combinations.
But Will being up there was kind
847
00:46:25,630 --> 00:46:28,990
of surprising when we looked at
the depth chart for Week 1 and
848
00:46:28,990 --> 00:46:32,630
him getting that much run.
And especially with the
849
00:46:32,630 --> 00:46:35,430
combinations like you said with
the Lawson out there with with
850
00:46:35,430 --> 00:46:40,110
them sometimes you know we had
Keller and and Tisdale on the
851
00:46:40,110 --> 00:46:41,470
field at sometimes.
So there was.
852
00:46:41,790 --> 00:46:43,590
They mix and match a lot there.
There wasn't.
853
00:46:44,190 --> 00:46:49,390
Necessarily a defined Mike and
will in for in terms of that TV
854
00:46:49,470 --> 00:46:51,910
that they definitely rotated
guys kind of across the board
855
00:46:51,910 --> 00:46:54,030
there in a in a more
interchangeable fashion and I
856
00:46:54,030 --> 00:46:57,030
think we anticipated.
So it'll be interesting to see
857
00:46:57,030 --> 00:46:58,870
if that's something that carries
over, if that's just something
858
00:46:58,870 --> 00:47:01,830
they were playing around with
against ODU as they kind of
859
00:47:01,830 --> 00:47:04,710
feel, feel out what they want
their final rotation to be.
860
00:47:05,950 --> 00:47:08,750
Tally, what about you?
I just didn't think the
861
00:47:08,750 --> 00:47:12,070
quarterback was going rush for
more yards than he passed for.
862
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:18,800
Close to, I mean, you know,
getting breaking out and getting
863
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:21,400
these runs and some of them
design runs.
864
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:26,640
So that RPO was a little bit
unexpected, you know, as much as
865
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:29,960
the as much as the seeing the
different people.
866
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:35,040
That linebacker was a little, I
don't want to say alarming, but
867
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:36,320
I just didn't know it was going
to happen.
868
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:40,280
I definitely didn't expect, you
know, their quarterback to be.
869
00:47:41,660 --> 00:47:44,580
On the run as much as he was and
making stuff, make plays.
870
00:47:44,580 --> 00:47:48,460
But thank the Lord that we made
enough plays because I don't
871
00:47:48,460 --> 00:47:51,860
know what we've been practicing,
but everybody was raking at the
872
00:47:51,860 --> 00:47:55,660
ball, so when we got a chance we
was getting that ball out of
873
00:47:55,660 --> 00:47:58,020
there.
Yes, we did 2 fourths fumbles, 1
874
00:47:58,020 --> 00:48:01,580
interception and they were
putting the head on the ball for
875
00:48:01,580 --> 00:48:07,340
those two fumbles, which is
great to see, but again. 3/4
876
00:48:07,340 --> 00:48:10,510
fumbles we got on 2. 3-4
fumbles.
877
00:48:10,950 --> 00:48:13,510
Well, four if you count the bad
snap because that's considered a
878
00:48:13,510 --> 00:48:17,430
force fumble in the We'll take
that one too.
879
00:48:17,430 --> 00:48:19,030
All right, real quick.
Y'all.
880
00:48:19,350 --> 00:48:22,070
Last piece we do is what can we
do better moving forward.
881
00:48:22,350 --> 00:48:25,470
We're going to be kind of short
and sweet with these me straight
882
00:48:25,470 --> 00:48:30,150
up Grant Wells has to keep the
ball on RPO's tally, pointed it
883
00:48:30,150 --> 00:48:34,350
out a couple times if he keeps a
couple RPO's.
884
00:48:34,390 --> 00:48:37,990
And again, we don't expect 20
yards, We don't expect 15 yards.
885
00:48:38,370 --> 00:48:42,930
Get 3, get 4, make them be
accountable for you, Brian, What
886
00:48:42,930 --> 00:48:45,210
do you got?
I'm going to go with the
887
00:48:45,210 --> 00:48:47,450
offensive line here.
Got to get to the second level,
888
00:48:47,450 --> 00:48:51,970
got to be able to maintain those
combos, keep your eyes where
889
00:48:51,970 --> 00:48:57,970
they need to be and communicate
across the board because I think
890
00:48:57,970 --> 00:49:00,450
that that's something that was
missing a little bit.
891
00:49:00,770 --> 00:49:03,410
There was a couple times where
guys should have pushed the guy
892
00:49:03,410 --> 00:49:05,890
off and didn't, a couple times
where they were trying to get to
893
00:49:05,890 --> 00:49:09,750
the second level too quick.
Or not at all.
894
00:49:09,750 --> 00:49:12,310
So there's there's just got to
be better communication and
895
00:49:12,310 --> 00:49:14,590
better consistency in those
combo blocks.
896
00:49:15,510 --> 00:49:18,630
Kelly.
Quicker coaching adjustments
897
00:49:19,950 --> 00:49:22,830
that first quarter we was all
inhale, purgatory, whatever you
898
00:49:22,830 --> 00:49:24,910
want to call it.
And then the second quarter as
899
00:49:24,910 --> 00:49:27,670
soon as it starts laying,
catches the touchdown fast and
900
00:49:27,670 --> 00:49:31,310
everybody breathes a little bit.
What was that play we were
901
00:49:31,310 --> 00:49:33,830
waiting on that Let's get that a
little bit early.
902
00:49:33,910 --> 00:49:39,200
That's all I'm gonna say for
now. 100% and Sheldon, Yeah, so
903
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:42,040
I would say Office of Line
Communication in conjunction
904
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:45,760
with play selection, they shall
tootin forced 10 missed tackles
905
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:48,760
against ODU.
He had less than three yards per
906
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:49,920
carry.
That's not acceptable.
907
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:53,720
He is doing everything he can to
try to break the first level and
908
00:49:53,720 --> 00:49:55,600
he can't do it in conjunction
with that.
909
00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:57,880
I also think the play selection
was a little bit odd.
910
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:01,000
Virginia Tech was very run heavy
on 1st down, but if you look at
911
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:04,440
the numbers, they they had 21st
down runs.
912
00:50:04,720 --> 00:50:06,160
Only three of them were
successful.
913
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:09,220
So that's like 15%.
I would prefer to see us pass
914
00:50:09,220 --> 00:50:11,540
Paul Moore in first down because
I just don't think running is
915
00:50:11,540 --> 00:50:15,700
going to get the job done.
All righty, Yes or no answer,
916
00:50:16,740 --> 00:50:18,980
Was this the best performance
under Brent Pratt?
917
00:50:22,180 --> 00:50:25,180
I think you got to go, yes.
I mean, I think you got to go,
918
00:50:25,180 --> 00:50:28,020
yes.
Yes, I'm.
919
00:50:29,460 --> 00:50:34,220
Going to say yes, but it's not a
enthusiastic yes because I'll
920
00:50:34,220 --> 00:50:38,030
say this.
Relative to our talent level now
921
00:50:38,110 --> 00:50:42,310
compared to last year and
relative to ODU's talent level
922
00:50:42,310 --> 00:50:46,590
compared to a Liberty last year,
I think there's some arguments
923
00:50:46,590 --> 00:50:49,950
that could be made that that was
a better win.
924
00:50:50,310 --> 00:50:53,550
But I think this is, this is a
win that gives us I think more
925
00:50:53,550 --> 00:50:57,830
confidence because it is a
season opener and I think we did
926
00:50:57,830 --> 00:51:02,750
more things all around well to
win that game, but.
927
00:51:03,650 --> 00:51:06,050
Like I said, relative to the
talent levels on both sides of
928
00:51:06,050 --> 00:51:08,130
the squad, you can make an
argument for liberty, but I'm
929
00:51:08,130 --> 00:51:09,730
going to go.
I'm going to go yes as well, but
930
00:51:09,730 --> 00:51:12,330
again, not, not, not as
enthusiastic I think is the rest
931
00:51:12,330 --> 00:51:15,650
of the guys here.
Brian is not following the
932
00:51:15,650 --> 00:51:17,130
instructions.
Not following instructions.
933
00:51:17,770 --> 00:51:20,530
I'm going to say yes, that this
is as well and I'm not going to
934
00:51:20,530 --> 00:51:22,170
get into anything else real
quick.
935
00:51:22,170 --> 00:51:24,770
Tally, you mentioned it earlier,
but y'all one of the coolest
936
00:51:24,770 --> 00:51:28,610
things was watching ACC Network,
seeing Ali Jennings family up
937
00:51:28,610 --> 00:51:30,970
there and him kind of talking
about running through that
938
00:51:30,970 --> 00:51:33,790
tunnel.
And we we tell you mentioned it
939
00:51:33,790 --> 00:51:36,910
and we all know about it.
That's the kind of kid you want
940
00:51:36,910 --> 00:51:40,310
to bring there because they want
to be there, they're going to
941
00:51:40,310 --> 00:51:43,470
play hard.
And he balled out damn near had
942
00:51:43,510 --> 00:51:47,630
three touchdowns, led the team
in receptions with six for 172
943
00:51:47,630 --> 00:51:50,950
and two touchdowns.
That was unbelievable to me.
944
00:51:52,550 --> 00:51:55,950
You know, that's just something
you don't see every day and.
945
00:51:56,760 --> 00:52:00,400
I think you know he's already on
A roll to get 1000 yards this
946
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:02,160
season.
Hopefully he keeps it up versus
947
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:03,560
Purdue.
All right.
948
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:07,000
Before we get to know the enemy
Purdue, we are going to take a
949
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:10,360
quick commercial pause from our
digital partners and Main Street
950
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:12,720
Pharmacy.
I can probably save you a lot of
951
00:52:12,720 --> 00:52:14,640
money and I can take a lot
better care of you.
952
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:18,000
That's pretty much it.
My name is Jeremy Counts and I'm
953
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:20,240
a pharmacist.
I want to operate Main Street
954
00:52:20,240 --> 00:52:21,760
Pharmacy here in downtown
Blacksburg.
955
00:52:22,220 --> 00:52:23,980
My brother's A pharmacist.
I'm a pharmacist.
956
00:52:23,980 --> 00:52:25,700
My uncle's A pharmacist.
My dad's a pharmacist.
957
00:52:25,940 --> 00:52:28,900
I remember he would give me M
and M's to count in little pill
958
00:52:28,900 --> 00:52:30,740
counters.
This is something I've always
959
00:52:30,740 --> 00:52:34,620
done, and I'm just lucky that
what I know so well is something
960
00:52:34,620 --> 00:52:37,140
that I can do and feel good
about it and get back to people.
961
00:52:37,900 --> 00:52:39,620
Pharmacies are your frontline
defense.
962
00:52:39,780 --> 00:52:42,860
Pharmacy's job is to make sure
you're getting optimal care for
963
00:52:42,860 --> 00:52:46,300
the lowest price possible.
Also, we take the pressure off
964
00:52:46,380 --> 00:52:48,420
of emergency rooms.
I'll tell people immediately
965
00:52:48,420 --> 00:52:50,220
when they need to go to the
doctor, or I'll tell them if
966
00:52:50,220 --> 00:52:51,820
they just need a cream over the
counter.
967
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:54,840
If there's something that isn't
commercially available, if it's
968
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:57,520
something that's not available
in a certain strength or a
969
00:52:57,520 --> 00:53:00,240
certain form or anything like
that, we'll make it tailor made
970
00:53:00,240 --> 00:53:02,000
medications.
Some of those options save
971
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:03,880
people a lot of money.
What motivates me?
972
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:06,720
I get to take care of people and
limit Blacksburg, I thought.
973
00:53:06,720 --> 00:53:11,040
Neat.
As we take a quick break, we'd
974
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:13,920

980
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:35,300
Now back to the episode.
Alrighty and we are back and we
981
00:53:35,300 --> 00:53:38,900
are going to get to know the
enemy Purdue a game all four of
982
00:53:38,900 --> 00:53:42,780
us will be in attendance for.
Brian, myself and Tally heading
983
00:53:42,780 --> 00:53:46,380
down Friday night.
Shelton joining us on Saturday.
984
00:53:46,820 --> 00:53:49,060
Can't wait to be back in the
bird for this game, but let's
985
00:53:49,060 --> 00:53:51,260
talk about Purdue.
We're going to talk about the
986
00:53:51,300 --> 00:53:54,110
offense first.
Talking about this scheme, it's
987
00:53:54,110 --> 00:53:57,790
a Gram Harrell Air Raid attack.
So Brian, give me a little
988
00:53:57,870 --> 00:54:00,790
insight, give the fans a little
insight on what we're going to
989
00:54:00,790 --> 00:54:03,030
see from Purdue Saturday scheme
wise.
990
00:54:03,470 --> 00:54:05,790
Oh yeah, you already said it.
We got the Gram Harrell Air
991
00:54:05,790 --> 00:54:08,070
Raid, we saw it last year
against West Virginia.
992
00:54:08,070 --> 00:54:12,430
We're seeing it again this year
with Purdue like we talked about
993
00:54:12,430 --> 00:54:14,150
last year.
It's a slightly more vertical
994
00:54:14,150 --> 00:54:18,630
version of the air raid, don't
run the ball much or or really
995
00:54:18,630 --> 00:54:21,070
effectively at least that what
we've seen in the first game so
996
00:54:21,070 --> 00:54:22,940
far.
But they'll occasionally hit a
997
00:54:22,940 --> 00:54:28,660
chunk play and they like to mix
in some RPO concepts in the in
998
00:54:28,660 --> 00:54:31,380
the the air raid attack here
too.
999
00:54:31,380 --> 00:54:34,340
So you'll see some RPO comp sets
but mixed in there.
1000
00:54:34,860 --> 00:54:35,980
But again, it's a typical Air
Raid.
1001
00:54:35,980 --> 00:54:37,500
They're going to hit you with a
lot of short stuff.
1002
00:54:37,500 --> 00:54:41,900
A lot of crossers get guys in
space and let their athletes
1003
00:54:41,900 --> 00:54:43,540
kind of make some big plays
after the catch.
1004
00:54:45,260 --> 00:54:47,820
Yeah, definitely.
First, I guess the first athlete
1005
00:54:47,820 --> 00:54:50,340
we were to talk about is a
Dionne Burks.
1006
00:54:50,340 --> 00:54:53,290
He's a wide receiver.
Just giving a little bit of a
1007
00:54:53,290 --> 00:54:56,010
back story on him or a little
bit of information on him.
1008
00:54:56,370 --> 00:55:07,690
So listed at about five 11175 as
a recruit he was a 88 on 24786
1009
00:55:07,690 --> 00:55:12,810
composite ranking.
So about a mid three star, three
1010
00:55:12,810 --> 00:55:17,450
star level recruit.
Last week, he had four
1011
00:55:17,450 --> 00:55:22,450
receptions for 152 yards.
He had two touchdowns.
1012
00:55:22,450 --> 00:55:25,250
I think his longest was 84
yards.
1013
00:55:25,250 --> 00:55:28,570
So take it away, Brian.
What you talking about this guy?
1014
00:55:29,090 --> 00:55:30,210
Yeah, I mean, he's a game
breaker.
1015
00:55:30,210 --> 00:55:32,290
If he gets loose in the
secondary, he sees the guy that
1016
00:55:32,290 --> 00:55:35,370
you want to make sure doesn't
have a whole lot of open space
1017
00:55:35,370 --> 00:55:37,410
and that you bring him down on
first contact.
1018
00:55:38,650 --> 00:55:41,290
You know, really good against
Fresno, but you know most of
1019
00:55:41,290 --> 00:55:43,050
that yardage came with that one
big play.
1020
00:55:43,250 --> 00:55:45,610
There was three missed tackles,
so you can break some tackles
1021
00:55:45,610 --> 00:55:48,210
there as well.
So that was something.
1022
00:55:49,010 --> 00:55:53,820
Not a huge guy, but.
Shifty, you know, gets away from
1023
00:55:53,820 --> 00:55:57,780
stuff, keeps his legs churning.
So he's the guy that we got to
1024
00:55:57,780 --> 00:55:59,620
get to the ground as soon as he
makes the catch.
1025
00:56:00,060 --> 00:56:02,900
And they like to isolate him and
man looks as well so they can
1026
00:56:02,900 --> 00:56:06,580
kind of get him matched up,
especially in the red zone.
1027
00:56:06,580 --> 00:56:08,660
That's what they like to do is
get him in This man looks where
1028
00:56:08,660 --> 00:56:12,380
he's isolated on one side of the
field and kind of just cook a
1029
00:56:12,380 --> 00:56:14,260
little bit against man on man
coverage.
1030
00:56:15,460 --> 00:56:18,170
Sean, you got anything on him?
Yes.
1031
00:56:18,170 --> 00:56:22,370
He had 64 Smith tackles against
President State which for a guy
1032
00:56:22,370 --> 00:56:24,610
with only a four reception in
the years, pretty insane.
1033
00:56:25,530 --> 00:56:29,450
Biggest thing, biggest thing
with Burke's average depth of
1034
00:56:29,450 --> 00:56:32,330
target, 17 yards.
So he's very much their, their
1035
00:56:32,330 --> 00:56:34,490
deep ball guy.
He's going to be running a lot
1036
00:56:34,490 --> 00:56:35,930
of deep routes.
So I have to make sure you're
1037
00:56:35,970 --> 00:56:38,250
you're playing playing some
tight man coverage.
1038
00:56:39,010 --> 00:56:42,810
Yep, tell you mentioned the 84.
His second longest was a 44
1039
00:56:42,810 --> 00:56:43,830
yarder.
So.
1040
00:56:43,830 --> 00:56:48,550
He did a lot of damage in two
plays there, and delivering him
1041
00:56:48,550 --> 00:56:51,790
that damage was Hudson Card and
Hudson Card.
1042
00:56:51,790 --> 00:56:57,750
The Texas transfer 63210 out of
Austin, TX transferred over.
1043
00:56:58,270 --> 00:57:01,630
This guy was a pretty high
prospect when he came out just a
1044
00:57:01,630 --> 00:57:05,270
few years ago, you know class of
2020.
1045
00:57:05,270 --> 00:57:08,430
He was a top 60 player, the
number 2 dual cord.
1046
00:57:09,060 --> 00:57:15,660
Dual threat quarterback in the
country 97 composite 95 on 247
1047
00:57:15,940 --> 00:57:18,340
and just kind of taking a look
at his track record.
1048
00:57:18,660 --> 00:57:23,020
You know with Texas he played in
12 games where you know through
1049
00:57:23,020 --> 00:57:26,820
for just at excuse me, he played
in 12 games last year at Texas
1050
00:57:27,100 --> 00:57:31,300
where he threw just under 1000
yards, 6 touchdowns, 1TD against
1051
00:57:31,300 --> 00:57:35,780
Fresno.
Solid game 17 for 3254 and two
1052
00:57:35,780 --> 00:57:37,980
touchdowns.
Brian.
1053
00:57:38,350 --> 00:57:40,430
What are we, What are we seeing
from Hudson Card here?
1054
00:57:42,230 --> 00:57:45,630
You know we we talked about the
Graham Harrell offense here you
1055
00:57:45,630 --> 00:57:49,070
know almost kind of read what
seemed like is in terms of like
1056
00:57:49,070 --> 00:57:51,150
high school rating and stuff
like that.
1057
00:57:51,150 --> 00:57:54,350
A mirror of what you know JT
Daniels was coming out of out of
1058
00:57:54,350 --> 00:57:58,030
high school with but card with a
little bit more success.
1059
00:57:58,030 --> 00:58:01,590
I feel like in the in the
limited time there he's an
1060
00:58:01,590 --> 00:58:04,630
accurate thrower of the
football, doesn't take a ton of
1061
00:58:04,630 --> 00:58:06,790
risk with the football I'll be
that's inherent of the a rate
1062
00:58:06,790 --> 00:58:09,070
anyway but.
He's not going to put it in
1063
00:58:09,070 --> 00:58:13,230
harm's way very often He will
use his legs if given a lane,
1064
00:58:13,230 --> 00:58:14,910
but he's not generally looking
to take off.
1065
00:58:14,910 --> 00:58:18,070
He's looking to kind of get
those 3 steppers, get the guys
1066
00:58:18,070 --> 00:58:21,790
in space and then get a good
matchup with Dionne Burks down
1067
00:58:21,790 --> 00:58:25,070
the field when he when he wants
to take a shot, you know.
1068
00:58:25,070 --> 00:58:27,750
But like most quarterbacks, he
can get rattled when when
1069
00:58:27,750 --> 00:58:29,830
pressure consistently,
especially if it's coming up in
1070
00:58:29,830 --> 00:58:31,950
his face there.
Like I said, he doesn't really
1071
00:58:31,950 --> 00:58:34,510
move too much in the pocket
there, so.
1072
00:58:34,860 --> 00:58:37,540
If we can get some pressure on
him up the middle, I think we
1073
00:58:37,540 --> 00:58:38,820
can get him a little rattled
there.
1074
00:58:38,820 --> 00:58:41,940
But you know, solid quarterback
and like I said, really
1075
00:58:41,940 --> 00:58:44,180
accurate, which, you know, you
kind of expect of an Air Raid
1076
00:58:44,180 --> 00:58:46,500
type quarterback.
Anything standing out
1077
00:58:46,500 --> 00:58:50,260
statistical wise, data wise
Shelton for Hudson or is it just
1078
00:58:50,580 --> 00:58:53,180
he is what he is?
Yeah, he kind of is what he is.
1079
00:58:53,220 --> 00:58:57,780
I mean last year at Texas PFF
grade around 70, which is a
1080
00:58:57,780 --> 00:59:02,060
little bit above average, he was
around 92nd of 163 qualified
1081
00:59:02,060 --> 00:59:04,290
quarterbacks, so nothing too
special.
1082
00:59:04,290 --> 00:59:08,090
I will say he did face pressure
on 30% of his drop backs last
1083
00:59:08,090 --> 00:59:10,970
year, so obviously blinds not
doing a ton of favors obviously,
1084
00:59:10,970 --> 00:59:12,690
which we'll get into, you know,
soon.
1085
00:59:14,570 --> 00:59:16,090
All righty, who we got next
ally?
1086
00:59:16,570 --> 00:59:19,930
So we talked about Hudson Card
running, just a little bit of
1087
00:59:19,930 --> 00:59:27,930
not wanting to run a lot.
Last week he had 2929 yards on 6
1088
00:59:27,930 --> 00:59:34,270
carries 13.
His his long was about 13 so his
1089
00:59:34,270 --> 00:59:41,270
running back is Devin Mockelby.
He is He or he was a low three
1090
00:59:41,270 --> 00:59:45,430
star, two star recruit out of
Boonville IN.
1091
00:59:45,710 --> 00:59:48,030
He's about 6 foot tall 200
pounds.
1092
00:59:48,910 --> 00:59:52,670
His only offer out of high
school was Navy and he walked on
1093
00:59:52,670 --> 00:59:55,990
it Purdue.
Now he is starting at running
1094
00:59:55,990 --> 00:59:57,550
back.
I think he is a sophomore.
1095
00:59:58,140 --> 01:00:01,300
Last week he had 16 carries for
60 yards.
1096
01:00:01,580 --> 01:00:04,180
His long was 20 yards.
He had one touchdown.
1097
01:00:04,500 --> 01:00:08,740
So that is going to be Hudson
Cards guy that he's going to be
1098
01:00:09,340 --> 01:00:10,660
wanting to hand the ball to the
run.
1099
01:00:12,780 --> 01:00:15,300
Yeah, and I mean, you know, you
said he's a sophomore, red
1100
01:00:15,300 --> 01:00:17,220
shirt, sophomore, former walk
on.
1101
01:00:17,660 --> 01:00:21,460
I had a good year last year, 900
yards, didn't didn't start,
1102
01:00:21,660 --> 01:00:23,300
start the year as a starter.
Had an injury.
1103
01:00:23,660 --> 01:00:26,020
Got pushed into duty and and
held up really well.
1104
01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:29,440
Obviously struggled at the gate
a little bit in this new system.
1105
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:33,480
You know, they had a week and
banged up offensive line.
1106
01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:38,440
So you know that kind of is what
it is that that could carry over
1107
01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:39,280
this week.
We'll see.
1108
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:41,960
They had a, you know, we'll talk
about the offensive line, but
1109
01:00:41,960 --> 01:00:45,320
they had a center that was kind
of rotating in and out and all
1110
01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:46,800
this.
So they they struggled.
1111
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:49,680
He had that one good play, that
one good chunk play of 20 yards.
1112
01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:52,680
Didn't really hit on a whole lot
after that.
1113
01:00:54,220 --> 01:00:57,020
But you know, he's a guy that
that's 6 foot 200.
1114
01:00:57,020 --> 01:00:59,660
He's a hard guy to bring down.
Got to make sure you're rapping
1115
01:01:00,420 --> 01:01:02,700
and he can't break off some
chunk plays, but he's not a home
1116
01:01:02,700 --> 01:01:04,340
run hitter.
He's not going to hit those like
1117
01:01:04,660 --> 01:01:07,980
big long ones, like a band of
candor or anybody like that.
1118
01:01:07,980 --> 01:01:09,780
So don't ever call that name on
this podcast.
1119
01:01:11,860 --> 01:01:14,540
Yeah, we're not going to see
that, but he still is the guy
1120
01:01:14,580 --> 01:01:17,260
that can get to the second level
and kind of make a couple guys
1121
01:01:17,260 --> 01:01:20,180
miss and things like that.
But he's he's not going to be a
1122
01:01:20,180 --> 01:01:23,450
home run threat.
Yeah, that's kind of what I saw
1123
01:01:23,450 --> 01:01:28,970
too in my statistical analysis.
Look at the numbers here.
1124
01:01:28,970 --> 01:01:31,050
You know he didn't force ton of
his tackles, but the thing I did
1125
01:01:31,050 --> 01:01:33,290
notice he's a big pass catching
running back.
1126
01:01:33,290 --> 01:01:36,730
Last year he had 274 yards as a
receiver.
1127
01:01:37,010 --> 01:01:39,370
So you know, gotta be aware that
maybe some swing passes
1128
01:01:39,370 --> 01:01:41,410
depending on you know, kind of
how they how they do it, but
1129
01:01:41,770 --> 01:01:43,370
definitely a big thread in the
pass catching game all.
1130
01:01:44,210 --> 01:01:45,730
Right.
We'll definitely take note of
1131
01:01:45,730 --> 01:01:47,970
that.
We caught three passes last week
1132
01:01:47,970 --> 01:01:52,110
too, 3 passes for 16 yards.
Again that's that's a little
1133
01:01:52,110 --> 01:01:54,910
check down, but again you have
to think back, you have to think
1134
01:01:54,910 --> 01:01:58,190
about him right here 16, that's
not a great number but you look
1135
01:01:58,190 --> 01:02:01,110
what he did last year, it's
clearly proven success that he
1136
01:02:01,110 --> 01:02:05,830
can be a positive gainer in that
type of in that part of the
1137
01:02:05,830 --> 01:02:09,350
offense.
So you know, getting Jenkins in
1138
01:02:09,350 --> 01:02:13,990
the flats and you know the sear
peoples and the safeties and
1139
01:02:13,990 --> 01:02:17,230
stuff have to be a credit or
have to be accounted for in that
1140
01:02:17,470 --> 01:02:20,290
because to be honest.
Taking a look at their offensive
1141
01:02:20,290 --> 01:02:23,130
line, Shelton was dropping
grades on me a little while ago
1142
01:02:23,170 --> 01:02:26,770
and their best offensive lineman
which was Marcus Embo.
1143
01:02:27,450 --> 01:02:31,250
Embo spelled MB OW, if I'm
pronouncing that wrong, somebody
1144
01:02:31,250 --> 01:02:37,370
tell me a six five 305 offensive
lineman out of Milwaukee, WI in
1145
01:02:37,450 --> 01:02:41,330
Wata Watusa East High School at
247.
1146
01:02:41,330 --> 01:02:44,330
He was a three star.
Lot of offers though.
1147
01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:46,320
A lot of offers all over the
country.
1148
01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:50,520
Places like Arizona, Arkansas,
Iowa, Kansas, Michigan State,
1149
01:02:50,520 --> 01:02:53,920
even our neighbors to the West
of me and Brian here.
1150
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:58,600
UVA made his offer and he
roughly was about an 86.
1151
01:02:58,600 --> 01:03:02,000
One of the top ten players in
Wisconsin and he graded out.
1152
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:04,680
Let me go look at it here.
Shelton dropped this just a few
1153
01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:08,840
minutes ago to me at a 70.5 as
their right tackle.
1154
01:03:10,510 --> 01:03:12,910
That was about all they had to
write home about when it came to
1155
01:03:12,910 --> 01:03:14,510
the offensive line.
Because when Brown, when you
1156
01:03:14,510 --> 01:03:17,790
broke their stuff down, not only
as we were watching it here, but
1157
01:03:17,790 --> 01:03:19,270
as you watched a little extra
tape.
1158
01:03:20,030 --> 01:03:23,110
Not great, Bob.
Yeah, I mean, they struggled to
1159
01:03:23,110 --> 01:03:24,510
establish the run against
Fresno.
1160
01:03:24,510 --> 01:03:25,870
They really couldn't get
anything going.
1161
01:03:25,870 --> 01:03:29,350
You know, like we said, Ma could
be hit that one chunk play.
1162
01:03:29,350 --> 01:03:33,790
I think there was one other good
run by their other running back
1163
01:03:33,790 --> 01:03:35,510
that got them in the end zone
one time.
1164
01:03:35,510 --> 01:03:38,030
But after that, there was a
really a whole lot to write home
1165
01:03:38,030 --> 01:03:41,410
about in the running game.
They didn't give up any sacks.
1166
01:03:41,410 --> 01:03:44,690
They had a ton of pressures,
made it really hard for car to
1167
01:03:44,690 --> 01:03:47,330
truly settle, settle in and cook
against that Fresno State
1168
01:03:47,330 --> 01:03:49,970
defense.
Definitely the biggest weakness
1169
01:03:49,970 --> 01:03:53,130
on the team and they played
multiple centers like I was
1170
01:03:53,130 --> 01:03:55,290
alluding to earlier against
Fresno.
1171
01:03:55,290 --> 01:03:57,770
I think they had three centers
play in that game.
1172
01:03:57,770 --> 01:04:01,970
So that's something to keep an
eye on because rotating 3
1173
01:04:01,970 --> 01:04:05,010
centers is not an ideal scenario
to have.
1174
01:04:06,650 --> 01:04:08,800
No, not at all.
Not at all.
1175
01:04:09,640 --> 01:04:12,520
But to be honest, let's talk
about Fresno just a second here.
1176
01:04:12,520 --> 01:04:15,480
Fresno did return eight of their
eleven starters on the defensive
1177
01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:16,960
side of the ball.
Now what?
1178
01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:20,680
They were missing, and I think
this is jumped out to me as I
1179
01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:23,800
was doing the research.
They were missing their leading
1180
01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:29,600
sack sack creator last year, who
got drafted by Pittsburgh.
1181
01:04:30,120 --> 01:04:33,200
So to me, I hear that yes, you
return a lot of starters, but
1182
01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:36,040
when a primary edge guy is gone
and they're still causing that
1183
01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:39,440
much havoc, still being able to
stop that offense in some way,
1184
01:04:40,520 --> 01:04:43,600
there is definitely some holes
within the Graham Harrow Air
1185
01:04:43,600 --> 01:04:46,120
Raid offense.
All right, we're going to flip
1186
01:04:46,120 --> 01:04:48,800
over to the defensive side of
the ball and get to know you,
1187
01:04:49,080 --> 01:04:51,200
Brian.
Let's talk about Ryan Walters.
1188
01:04:51,200 --> 01:04:54,320
Obviously at Illinois, he had
that defense humming for a
1189
01:04:54,440 --> 01:04:57,080
couple years.
What are we taking a look at
1190
01:04:57,080 --> 01:05:01,370
with Mr. Walters defense?
Yeah, you're looking at a base
1191
01:05:01,370 --> 01:05:05,570
3-4.
They will go into a nickel
1192
01:05:05,570 --> 01:05:07,690
package.
That's going to be the 335 stack
1193
01:05:07,690 --> 01:05:10,850
like we saw a little bit of
against ODU, but their base is
1194
01:05:10,850 --> 01:05:14,050
going to be a 3-4.
You know we talked about it
1195
01:05:14,050 --> 01:05:16,610
already, Odd fronts are going to
be harder to run inside zone
1196
01:05:16,610 --> 01:05:17,650
again.
So we're going to get a little
1197
01:05:17,650 --> 01:05:19,730
bit more of that this week.
Hopefully we can make some
1198
01:05:19,730 --> 01:05:24,090
adjustments and handle that a
little bit better and they will
1199
01:05:24,090 --> 01:05:27,850
occasionally play with the
alignment of the linebackers.
1200
01:05:29,490 --> 01:05:32,810
So in particular, the guy we're
about to talk about here in a
1201
01:05:32,810 --> 01:05:36,810
little bit.
Well, and that linebacker he is
1202
01:05:36,810 --> 01:05:39,610
talking about is Kydrane
Jenkins.
1203
01:05:39,610 --> 01:05:44,570
He is the outside linebacker 6
foot one ��260 out of Louisville,
1204
01:05:44,570 --> 01:05:46,570
GA at Jefferson County High
School.
1205
01:05:47,130 --> 01:05:53,250
Cadren was a low, low three star
84, the 135th player in the
1206
01:05:53,250 --> 01:05:55,930
state of Georgia back in the
class of 2020.
1207
01:05:56,430 --> 01:06:02,070
And believe it or not, his only
Division One offer was per due
1208
01:06:02,590 --> 01:06:07,390
lot of G5 offers, and today the
truth kind of has already hit
1209
01:06:07,390 --> 01:06:10,390
off the bat in his first two
seasons playing.
1210
01:06:10,390 --> 01:06:13,790
Obviously you can see that
playing sparishly in 26 games in
1211
01:06:13,790 --> 01:06:19,670
its first two seasons. 67 total
tackles, 16 tackles for loss, 9
1212
01:06:19,670 --> 01:06:23,230
sacks, along with a couple past
deflections in a forced fumble.
1213
01:06:23,670 --> 01:06:26,110
And he started off good against
Fresno State last week.
1214
01:06:26,110 --> 01:06:30,710
Brian 6 total tackles, one sack,
an additional tackle for loss.
1215
01:06:31,630 --> 01:06:35,470
He is.
I think you'll you'll put it in
1216
01:06:35,470 --> 01:06:37,030
words here.
I think he is probably their
1217
01:06:37,030 --> 01:06:39,870
best defender.
Yeah, he's a he's a pretty elite
1218
01:06:39,870 --> 01:06:42,550
pass rusher.
You know he'll get after the
1219
01:06:42,550 --> 01:06:45,790
quarterback really well.
He's not overly impactful in
1220
01:06:45,790 --> 01:06:49,550
space or in coverage.
They don't deploy him in that
1221
01:06:49,550 --> 01:06:51,990
very often.
He is primarily a pass rushing
1222
01:06:51,990 --> 01:06:56,030
edge defender, but he holds up,
holds up on backside containment
1223
01:06:56,030 --> 01:06:57,670
in the run game.
So he's not necessarily a
1224
01:06:57,670 --> 01:07:00,430
weakness in the run game.
He's just not great in space or
1225
01:07:00,430 --> 01:07:03,630
in coverage.
But his pass rushes is is solid
1226
01:07:03,630 --> 01:07:06,310
across the board.
He's going to, he'll play with
1227
01:07:06,310 --> 01:07:08,790
his alignment, they'll they'll
kind of send him inside, keep
1228
01:07:08,790 --> 01:07:12,070
him on the edge, kind of mix and
match him in there with
1229
01:07:12,070 --> 01:07:14,310
depending on whether they go
with that stack in the nickel or
1230
01:07:14,310 --> 01:07:16,830
whether they're running out of
the the the 3-4 base.
1231
01:07:16,830 --> 01:07:20,270
So he's going to be on the field
and getting after the the passer
1232
01:07:20,310 --> 01:07:24,940
regardless.
Anything on him, Shelton?
1233
01:07:24,940 --> 01:07:29,060
Were you able to dig up?
Yeah, which, which one we're
1234
01:07:29,060 --> 01:07:31,740
talking about?
We are talking about Kydron
1235
01:07:32,260 --> 01:07:35,140
Jenkins, the outside linebacker.
Jenkins.
1236
01:07:36,140 --> 01:07:37,580
No, I don't have anything on
Jenkins.
1237
01:07:37,620 --> 01:07:41,380
I will say though with regards
to their linebacking core, their
1238
01:07:41,380 --> 01:07:46,340
MLB OC brothers had a forty
grade from PFF last year which
1239
01:07:46,340 --> 01:07:49,620
was the 4th worst among all
Power 5 linebackers.
1240
01:07:50,100 --> 01:07:52,540
So we look at the lineback
course a whole, the defense as a
1241
01:07:52,540 --> 01:07:54,070
whole.
It was not great.
1242
01:07:54,070 --> 01:07:56,150
They got some young players in
there, some guys that you know
1243
01:07:56,150 --> 01:07:58,350
turn to different programs where
they didn't really excel.
1244
01:07:59,070 --> 01:08:01,630
Obviously as as we talked about
it's it's a defense that's
1245
01:08:01,630 --> 01:08:05,310
really work in progress.
Alrighty, Who's our next one,
1246
01:08:05,310 --> 01:08:07,710
Tally?
We got Markevius.
1247
01:08:07,710 --> 01:08:12,390
Markevius Brown is a cornerback
out of high school.
1248
01:08:12,390 --> 01:08:18,109
He came from IMG Academy.
He was a composite 4 star that
1249
01:08:18,430 --> 01:08:21,950
started his career at Ole Miss.
He had office from.
1250
01:08:22,550 --> 01:08:28,470
Everywhere Alabama, Arkansas,
Auburn, FIU Had over 20 offers
1251
01:08:28,470 --> 01:08:32,430
coming out of high school, went
to Ole Miss and has transferred
1252
01:08:32,430 --> 01:08:40,029
to Purdue Now he is a five 11180
pound quarterback.
1253
01:08:40,470 --> 01:08:44,430
Last week he had I think 9
tackles.
1254
01:08:44,830 --> 01:08:49,750
He was the 2nd leading tackler.
Let me make sure I'm telling you
1255
01:08:49,750 --> 01:08:51,550
that right, Brian.
I don't want a lot to, you know,
1256
01:08:52,149 --> 01:08:53,710
a lot to be a.
Lot to him, he.
1257
01:08:53,950 --> 01:08:59,910
Was the he had nine tacos last
week, 1 Taco for loss behind
1258
01:09:00,069 --> 01:09:02,189
another guy that we're going to
talk about with Curtis here in
1259
01:09:02,189 --> 01:09:05,029
just a little bit.
But yes, seems to be a pretty
1260
01:09:05,029 --> 01:09:06,470
good player.
Brian, what you got on him?
1261
01:09:07,430 --> 01:09:09,710
Yeah, he's their best man
defender and you talked about
1262
01:09:09,710 --> 01:09:11,510
the offers.
I believe we were one of those
1263
01:09:11,510 --> 01:09:15,350
offers in there because I I
remember seeing this name a few
1264
01:09:15,350 --> 01:09:21,729
years back on on our list.
So has good speed, not afraid to
1265
01:09:21,729 --> 01:09:23,810
be a little physical.
You can see that by, you know
1266
01:09:24,010 --> 01:09:26,130
getting getting a pretty good
tackle count in there.
1267
01:09:27,649 --> 01:09:30,569
But he can get caught kind of
watching the action in the
1268
01:09:30,569 --> 01:09:35,370
backfield, watching the action
that kind of is moving in front
1269
01:09:35,370 --> 01:09:37,529
of him.
So sometimes that can catch him
1270
01:09:37,529 --> 01:09:39,890
a little bit on aisle and let a
man get behind him.
1271
01:09:39,890 --> 01:09:43,170
But overall, good, good
cornerback for definitely the
1272
01:09:43,170 --> 01:09:46,529
best pure cover guy that they
have in the secondary.
1273
01:09:46,529 --> 01:09:49,700
And I know Sheldon has something
he wants to add here as well on
1274
01:09:49,700 --> 01:09:52,660
the step side.
Yeah, so it was not good for him
1275
01:09:52,660 --> 01:09:56,860
in coverage against Fresno, he
was 8 for 12 when targeted for
1276
01:09:56,860 --> 01:10:00,340
84 yards and a touchdown.
So it's kind of a small sample
1277
01:10:00,340 --> 01:10:02,340
size For his career.
He just hasn't really had as
1278
01:10:02,340 --> 01:10:06,300
many targets as you know, as a
lot of other guys.
1279
01:10:06,300 --> 01:10:08,660
But that's a pretty big red flag
right there.
1280
01:10:09,540 --> 01:10:13,300
Well, that does say a lot, but
you know, 8 for 12, I mean you.
1281
01:10:13,300 --> 01:10:15,220
You take a look at the data
points though.
1282
01:10:15,740 --> 01:10:19,700
Mikey King went 31 for 44.
Mikey King's Fresno's
1283
01:10:19,700 --> 01:10:24,140
quarterback, he lift them up for
right over 350 yards, 4
1284
01:10:24,140 --> 01:10:28,620
touchdowns and only one pick.
So I do think that they have
1285
01:10:28,740 --> 01:10:32,380
more than one hole in the
secondary and one of the guys
1286
01:10:32,380 --> 01:10:34,660
we're going to talk about next,
which is Dylan Thieman.
1287
01:10:36,230 --> 01:10:39,190
He was the leading tackler last
week at this game.
1288
01:10:39,190 --> 01:10:42,070
He had 10 total tackles and an
interception.
1289
01:10:42,630 --> 01:10:46,470
Femen, if we take a look just at
his background, he was a 87 for
1290
01:10:46,470 --> 01:10:50,270
247.
He was a class of 2023.
1291
01:10:50,270 --> 01:10:53,710
So this guy is a true freshman
out there at approximately 6
1292
01:10:53,710 --> 01:10:56,990
feet tall, 205 pound out of
Carmel IN at Westfield High
1293
01:10:56,990 --> 01:10:59,390
School.
So.
1294
01:11:00,470 --> 01:11:02,190
So we talked about Brown
struggling.
1295
01:11:02,190 --> 01:11:04,790
They got a true freshman playing
free safety.
1296
01:11:06,870 --> 01:11:08,910
Brian, what are you seeing from
him?
1297
01:11:09,430 --> 01:11:12,550
And I think we're about to
Shelton just did it with the
1298
01:11:12,550 --> 01:11:16,390
stats and we're starting to hear
this thing come about their back
1299
01:11:16,390 --> 01:11:19,270
end.
Yeah, I mean this guy covers
1300
01:11:19,270 --> 01:11:21,470
ground well.
He, he does a good job of
1301
01:11:21,470 --> 01:11:24,350
getting around and flying around
making plays when he's able to
1302
01:11:24,350 --> 01:11:29,030
kind of sit back in coverage.
He does not do a good job when
1303
01:11:29,030 --> 01:11:32,270
he's any any any sort of man
responsibility or having to
1304
01:11:32,270 --> 01:11:35,760
cover in the box.
Definitely a guy that just wants
1305
01:11:35,760 --> 01:11:41,920
to be that that that deep free.
And and I think that may just be
1306
01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:44,360
the fact that he's a true
freshman and if you put him in
1307
01:11:44,360 --> 01:11:47,800
that deep free he can just kind
of read and react not a whole
1308
01:11:47,800 --> 01:11:49,320
lot of additional
responsibilities.
1309
01:11:49,320 --> 01:11:53,160
So he excels there where what he
doesn't excel at is kind of
1310
01:11:53,160 --> 01:11:56,240
pretty much everything else.
But he does tackle well if he
1311
01:11:56,240 --> 01:11:59,520
fits up pretty good and gets
guys to the ground, but it's
1312
01:11:59,520 --> 01:12:03,320
just a little suspect in the
other areas of playing safety
1313
01:12:03,320 --> 01:12:08,040
right now.
Yeah, and on him, he had 10
1314
01:12:08,040 --> 01:12:09,960
tackles.
I don't know if we said that.
1315
01:12:09,960 --> 01:12:15,200
So between him and Brown, that
was 19 tackles, 1st and 2nd
1316
01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:20,320
tackler on the team last week
came from your secondary.
1317
01:12:21,120 --> 01:12:24,600
One or two things that throwing
the ball on your lot or your
1318
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:27,000
linebackers and your line are
not tackling people.
1319
01:12:28,320 --> 01:12:32,050
Yeah, and Fresno didn't run the
ball very well, so it was the
1320
01:12:32,050 --> 01:12:33,650
former.
There you go.
1321
01:12:34,090 --> 01:12:38,250
So Speaking of a line, next guy
we'll talk about is there big
1322
01:12:38,250 --> 01:12:45,130
nose tackle, You got Cole
Brevard, he is a six foot three,
1323
01:12:46,010 --> 01:12:52,370
��333 or ��335 nose guard or nose
tackle.
1324
01:12:52,370 --> 01:12:57,290
Excuse me, he is.
He transferred from Penn State.
1325
01:12:57,770 --> 01:13:01,240
He had big offers from.
A lot of places, Florida State,
1326
01:13:01,240 --> 01:13:04,760
Clemson, Notre Dame, he
transferred there.
1327
01:13:05,040 --> 01:13:08,440
I was looking, didn't find any
stats from last week on him.
1328
01:13:08,720 --> 01:13:13,840
So he's probably just a big gap
filler, somebody there to not
1329
01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:16,800
let people RP up the middle like
ODU was doing against us.
1330
01:13:17,240 --> 01:13:20,080
So what you got on him, Brian?
Yeah, you pretty much hit the
1331
01:13:20,080 --> 01:13:22,040
nail on the head there.
And I'll I'll say this before we
1332
01:13:22,040 --> 01:13:24,320
get into the the specifics of
his game.
1333
01:13:25,250 --> 01:13:28,250
He was one of those guys, the
Penn State transfer where
1334
01:13:28,610 --> 01:13:32,090
everybody on the timelines like
we got to get this guy, we got
1335
01:13:32,090 --> 01:13:33,890
to get this guy, he's a pride
defensive player.
1336
01:13:33,890 --> 01:13:38,250
We got to get this guy.
You know he ended up at Perdue,
1337
01:13:38,690 --> 01:13:40,050
we didn't get him.
He ended up Perdue.
1338
01:13:41,650 --> 01:13:44,610
He's a two gap nose.
I mean he's he's in that 3-4,
1339
01:13:45,450 --> 01:13:48,250
classic space heater, good motor
overall.
1340
01:13:50,400 --> 01:13:54,640
He will get replaced by another
guy named Joe Anderson when they
1341
01:13:54,640 --> 01:13:59,240
go to their nickel set, who's
more of a pass rush specialist,
1342
01:13:59,800 --> 01:14:03,000
really a defensive end that they
kind of just slide into to be a
1343
01:14:03,200 --> 01:14:07,200
a pass rushing nose.
But Cole, definitely he he eats
1344
01:14:07,200 --> 01:14:09,240
space.
He does a good job of kind of
1345
01:14:09,640 --> 01:14:12,720
taking up two blockers on a lot
of plays.
1346
01:14:12,720 --> 01:14:15,680
So he's somebody that you got to
handle and like we said we
1347
01:14:15,680 --> 01:14:16,760
struggled to get to the second
level.
1348
01:14:16,760 --> 01:14:18,920
We're going to have to be better
at that this week against this
1349
01:14:18,920 --> 01:14:22,760
guy.
Sheldon, before we kind of close
1350
01:14:22,760 --> 01:14:26,640
it out here, any additional
stats, any additional data
1351
01:14:26,640 --> 01:14:30,280
points you're seeing on the
Purdue, Purdue defense that we
1352
01:14:30,280 --> 01:14:35,040
should know about that might be
helpful to the Hokies going into
1353
01:14:35,040 --> 01:14:36,800
Saturday?
Yeah.
1354
01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:39,440
So just looking at their team in
general and kind of performance.
1355
01:14:39,440 --> 01:14:42,320
So there's a stack called
Expected Points Added, or more
1356
01:14:42,320 --> 01:14:44,860
commonly known as EPA.
It's basically like an
1357
01:14:44,900 --> 01:14:47,460
analytically correct version of
yards per play, just takes into
1358
01:14:47,460 --> 01:14:50,500
account field position, down
distance, et cetera, et cetera.
1359
01:14:51,940 --> 01:14:56,100
So EPA freshman state finished
in 90th percentile in EPA for
1360
01:14:56,100 --> 01:14:57,860
games this year against against
Purdue.
1361
01:14:58,460 --> 01:15:01,220
Purdue not quite as explosive
offensively.
1362
01:15:01,660 --> 01:15:04,660
They did have more yards per
play, the bluemakers did, but
1363
01:15:04,660 --> 01:15:08,220
the reason that FFC won the game
ultimately was because they had
1364
01:15:08,220 --> 01:15:10,420
a higher success rate,
especially on 3rd down.
1365
01:15:10,420 --> 01:15:14,240
They were 60% on 3rd down.
So that's an indication probably
1366
01:15:14,240 --> 01:15:16,800
that you know they're they're
they're doing well on 1st and
1367
01:15:16,800 --> 01:15:19,120
2nd down they're getting easy
third down opportunities.
1368
01:15:20,160 --> 01:15:25,320
I would say for those who are
Virginia Tech fans who look at
1369
01:15:25,320 --> 01:15:27,880
that result and say Oh well
pretty loss of President State
1370
01:15:27,880 --> 01:15:30,880
they must not be all that good.
Let's let's hold up for a second
1371
01:15:30,880 --> 01:15:32,120
if.
Virginia Tech.
1372
01:15:32,440 --> 01:15:34,800
If Virginia Tech were to play
President State on a neutral
1373
01:15:34,800 --> 01:15:38,400
field tomorrow, they would be 4
point underdogs, is my guess.
1374
01:15:38,870 --> 01:15:42,470
So that's that's not a game
where you can really say like
1375
01:15:42,470 --> 01:15:44,870
yeah, we're going to beat that
team, it's going to be really
1376
01:15:44,870 --> 01:15:47,390
close to match up and if if
Attack and Purdue were to play
1377
01:15:47,390 --> 01:15:49,350
in a Nutrifield tomorrow, it
would be a toss up.
1378
01:15:49,590 --> 01:15:52,830
So it's not, you know, you can't
look at, you can't really read
1379
01:15:52,830 --> 01:15:55,030
too much into that game, really.
You really can't.
1380
01:15:55,030 --> 01:15:57,950
And Fresno State was a good team
last year, so they were turning
1381
01:15:57,950 --> 01:16:01,550
9 guys on defense.
They won 10 games last year.
1382
01:16:02,070 --> 01:16:04,430
They in fact they won the
Mountain West, right?
1383
01:16:05,110 --> 01:16:07,290
Did I make that up, Sheldon?
They won the mountain.
1384
01:16:07,770 --> 01:16:09,570
Or did Boise win the Mountain
West last year?
1385
01:16:10,050 --> 01:16:11,850
No, Boise, yes President won the
mountain.
1386
01:16:12,130 --> 01:16:16,210
They won the Mountain West last
year, so yeah, they are.
1387
01:16:16,330 --> 01:16:21,050
They did play a very good team.
So what are the Hokies going to
1388
01:16:21,050 --> 01:16:25,570
have to do to win this game?
I'm going to let Brian start us
1389
01:16:25,570 --> 01:16:28,810
out here.
Brian, give us one of the keys
1390
01:16:28,810 --> 01:16:33,290
to a hokey victory on Saturday.
Yeah, the biggest one is that
1391
01:16:33,290 --> 01:16:34,650
we've got to settle down
quicker.
1392
01:16:34,650 --> 01:16:39,430
We can't have that one quarter
of sleepwalking that we saw
1393
01:16:39,710 --> 01:16:42,470
against ODU, especially on the
offensive side of the ball.
1394
01:16:43,510 --> 01:16:48,950
This needs to be more of a game
like we saw with Boston College
1395
01:16:48,950 --> 01:16:51,790
last year at home where we kind
of got out there early, made a
1396
01:16:51,790 --> 01:16:54,990
couple plays on defense, made a
couple good plays on offense,
1397
01:16:55,310 --> 01:16:58,590
get a little bit of a lead and
then kind of put the pressure on
1398
01:16:58,590 --> 01:17:00,750
them to have to play a little
catch up.
1399
01:17:00,750 --> 01:17:03,470
I think that's the the recipe
for success here.
1400
01:17:04,790 --> 01:17:06,350
All right, Tally, what do you
think?
1401
01:17:06,350 --> 01:17:08,710
What's a hokey key?
Yeah, I'll say, you know,
1402
01:17:08,710 --> 01:17:11,750
usually I try to be a little bit
more conservative, but I'm going
1403
01:17:11,750 --> 01:17:16,110
to let let your nuts hang, you
know, let your nuts hang.
1404
01:17:16,310 --> 01:17:19,790
Brett Pry, you have wide
receivers that I don't think
1405
01:17:19,790 --> 01:17:23,150
that they can guard.
We need to pass to set up the
1406
01:17:23,150 --> 01:17:25,510
run.
Looks like we were running to
1407
01:17:25,510 --> 01:17:27,550
set up the pass in this pass
game.
1408
01:17:27,950 --> 01:17:31,470
I think hey, let it fly.
Find those receipt was early,
1409
01:17:31,710 --> 01:17:35,190
spread them out, take a a page
out of ODU's book, spread it
1410
01:17:35,190 --> 01:17:38,710
out, don't have them so close so
we can hit some of these running
1411
01:17:38,710 --> 01:17:40,710
lanes.
I think if we do that early in
1412
01:17:40,710 --> 01:17:44,710
the first quarter, I think we'll
put them in, in in in a little
1413
01:17:44,710 --> 01:17:48,270
bit of a discomfort area fairly
quickly.
1414
01:17:48,750 --> 01:17:50,110
Got it.
Shelton, what about you?
1415
01:17:51,030 --> 01:17:53,390
For me, the biggest thing is
just try to shut down Dion
1416
01:17:53,390 --> 01:17:55,030
Burks.
I think he's by far the biggest
1417
01:17:55,030 --> 01:17:57,110
playmaker.
I'm not too concerned about
1418
01:17:57,110 --> 01:17:58,990
Purdue's run game.
I mean, we'll see how it all
1419
01:17:58,990 --> 01:18:01,360
plays out.
But also you you just got to get
1420
01:18:01,360 --> 01:18:03,680
pressure on Hudson Card.
I mentioned the pressure stats
1421
01:18:03,680 --> 01:18:05,440
from from their game against
Fresno.
1422
01:18:05,840 --> 01:18:08,560
The offensive line has a lot of
weak points, so if you get
1423
01:18:08,560 --> 01:18:12,680
pressure on him, Card really,
really struggles throwing from
1424
01:18:12,680 --> 01:18:14,840
pressure.
If you can get to the key, BI
1425
01:18:14,840 --> 01:18:16,560
think you'll have a you have a
really good chance of winning.
1426
01:18:16,560 --> 01:18:19,000
And I think tech will take
advantage of a very shoddy
1427
01:18:19,080 --> 01:18:22,200
Purdue defense.
I'm with Sheldon.
1428
01:18:22,200 --> 01:18:23,960
I think you don't let Clark find
a rhythm.
1429
01:18:23,960 --> 01:18:26,040
We know how Air Raid offenses
work is when they get in the
1430
01:18:26,040 --> 01:18:27,440
rhythm.
Where they popping you on
1431
01:18:27,800 --> 01:18:30,080
lateral passes?
Short, quick routes.
1432
01:18:30,080 --> 01:18:34,160
Eventually it opens up up top
and make a move, make a move,
1433
01:18:34,160 --> 01:18:38,040
get him uncomfortable.
Apr and the Crew go out there,
1434
01:18:38,200 --> 01:18:41,160
make a move and you said you're
not worried about their run
1435
01:18:41,160 --> 01:18:44,880
game, make it non existent.
Because an air A-Team like this,
1436
01:18:44,960 --> 01:18:47,320
if they get that little bit of
run game going, go back to West
1437
01:18:47,320 --> 01:18:49,880
Virginia.
Last year they got that run game
1438
01:18:49,880 --> 01:18:52,630
going.
It wore down us and then they
1439
01:18:52,630 --> 01:18:55,230
were able to start popping
passes later in the game.
1440
01:18:55,230 --> 01:18:58,350
So kind of a combination of
there of a different number of
1441
01:18:58,350 --> 01:19:01,230
things we are talking about for
some hokey keys.
1442
01:19:01,510 --> 01:19:04,710
But now it is prediction time.
Brian is really excited
1443
01:19:04,710 --> 01:19:06,750
everybody.
He's been working on this all
1444
01:19:06,750 --> 01:19:08,830
week.
Bring up the big board.
1445
01:19:09,070 --> 01:19:12,750
Not only the prediction for the
hokey game, but we also have our
1446
01:19:12,750 --> 01:19:16,130
big screeners here.
Hey, y'all better read this
1447
01:19:16,130 --> 01:19:16,810
week.
Shit.
1448
01:19:16,810 --> 01:19:20,250
Y'all better read, listen and
read.
1449
01:19:20,530 --> 01:19:24,690
Listen and read it's it's on the
board this time, guys.
1450
01:19:24,690 --> 01:19:28,050
It's very explicitly.
A big board that's not big.
1451
01:19:28,050 --> 01:19:34,450
This is that spread, spread.
Do y'all understand how many
1452
01:19:34,450 --> 01:19:40,930
emails in in, in in Dms that I
got from people so I could not
1453
01:19:40,930 --> 01:19:43,970
believe even after we won?
People were.
1454
01:19:44,210 --> 01:19:46,010
Still talking about they were,
they were telling.
1455
01:19:46,050 --> 01:19:47,850
You, man.
I can't believe you're the God
1456
01:19:47,850 --> 01:19:51,530
that predicted us to lose.
I was like, Oh my God, Sheldon
1457
01:19:51,530 --> 01:19:56,690
had people in his Dm's over
taking UVA to not lose by more
1458
01:19:56,690 --> 01:20:00,330
than 28.
Yeah, that was fun and.
1459
01:20:00,570 --> 01:20:02,130
Being Bronwyn four and two last
week.
1460
01:20:02,730 --> 01:20:04,570
I did horrible.
I'm scared to even pick.
1461
01:20:05,730 --> 01:20:07,170
That's the fun of it.
That's the fun of it.
1462
01:20:07,730 --> 01:20:11,210
All right, Sheldon, you were not
here last week, so you get to
1463
01:20:11,210 --> 01:20:14,230
lead the Hokie Purdue
predictions.
1464
01:20:14,230 --> 01:20:18,430
What do you have?
It's going to be a close, low
1465
01:20:18,430 --> 01:20:23,230
scoring ball game in my opinion.
I like both teams defenses more,
1466
01:20:23,230 --> 01:20:26,510
so a little bit more skeptical
of these offense, but I've got
1467
01:20:26,510 --> 01:20:30,230
the Hokies winning 20 to 17.
They will cover by the hair on
1468
01:20:30,230 --> 01:20:32,710
their chins.
That's just the way I feel.
1469
01:20:32,710 --> 01:20:35,030
I think it's going to be a low
scoring grudge match and I think
1470
01:20:35,030 --> 01:20:39,710
tech's going to come out on top.
Alrighty low score 2017.
1471
01:20:39,910 --> 01:20:43,220
Tally, what you got?
I got the Hokies taking this
1472
01:20:43,220 --> 01:20:46,980
game 35 to 24.
I think we only didn't we go
1473
01:20:46,980 --> 01:20:52,860
over 31 time last year 0 * 0
times.
1474
01:20:53,780 --> 01:20:56,540
Well the first two games of the
season we're going over 30.
1475
01:20:56,540 --> 01:21:03,380
Baby 3524 Hokie win be we all
going to be there.
1476
01:21:03,780 --> 01:21:06,660
Barry The Corner Podcast As
y'all can see, I don't have a
1477
01:21:06,660 --> 01:21:09,410
hat on this week.
Because I'm I wanted my hair to
1478
01:21:09,410 --> 01:21:12,010
breathe because I'm buying all
new hats when I get to
1479
01:21:12,010 --> 01:21:14,090
Blacksburg.
So if you're watching this,
1480
01:21:14,130 --> 01:21:17,810
y'all send me places that I can
go find cool hats, because I'm
1481
01:21:17,810 --> 01:21:21,770
going to pick up about 5 to 10
new hats and he's getting one
1482
01:21:21,770 --> 01:21:24,450
new one from me.
And I already know about that
1483
01:21:24,450 --> 01:21:26,490
way, huh?
I already know about that one.
1484
01:21:26,490 --> 01:21:28,490
I'm going to have that one on.
I'm going to have that one on
1485
01:21:28,490 --> 01:21:30,130
next week.
There we go.
1486
01:21:30,130 --> 01:21:32,090
There we go.
All right, my turn next.
1487
01:21:32,090 --> 01:21:35,930
Y'all and I'm kind of with
Tally.
1488
01:21:35,930 --> 01:21:39,310
We're we're similar scores here.
I think the Hokies are going to
1489
01:21:39,310 --> 01:21:42,510
win this game and I can see this
being a 3423 game.
1490
01:21:42,510 --> 01:21:45,270
I think we punch it in just as
much as we did last week.
1491
01:21:45,550 --> 01:21:49,710
I think prop pulls back on being
aggressive inside the 15 kicks,
1492
01:21:49,710 --> 01:21:54,270
a couple extra field goal and to
just be honest, why am I looking
1493
01:21:54,270 --> 01:21:56,590
at a team that scored 35 and
saying they're going to score
1494
01:21:56,590 --> 01:21:58,750
24?
I watched this game with Brian
1495
01:21:58,750 --> 01:22:00,990
right back here.
I'm on the I'm on the I'm on the
1496
01:22:00,990 --> 01:22:02,950
easy chair.
Brian's kick back on the couch.
1497
01:22:04,360 --> 01:22:07,640
Effectively, Purdue had two
sustained drives to score
1498
01:22:07,640 --> 01:22:09,600
touchdown.
They were in a kickoff return
1499
01:22:09,600 --> 01:22:11,720
back.
They had the 84 yard bomb tally
1500
01:22:11,720 --> 01:22:14,280
mentioned earlier.
The other 44 yard play to
1501
01:22:14,280 --> 01:22:15,040
Burke's.
Guess what?
1502
01:22:15,040 --> 01:22:18,800
That set up a 10 yard run.
They had two sustained drives
1503
01:22:18,800 --> 01:22:20,960
for touchdowns.
That's why the Hokies and the
1504
01:22:20,960 --> 01:22:25,080
defense get it right.
Brian, are you as optimistic as
1505
01:22:25,080 --> 01:22:27,250
we are?
Yeah, I'm right on board there.
1506
01:22:27,890 --> 01:22:31,090
I've got the Hokey's pulling out
A1 score victory here.
1507
01:22:31,530 --> 01:22:33,370
I think the offense is going to
keep going.
1508
01:22:33,370 --> 01:22:35,970
I think we're going to pit a
little bit and as Tally
1509
01:22:35,970 --> 01:22:38,490
mentioned that let the past set
up the run a little bit.
1510
01:22:38,490 --> 01:22:42,450
Kind of start with the the Duts
hanging out there and leaning on
1511
01:22:42,450 --> 01:22:45,850
your strength a little bit.
I think our defense does a a
1512
01:22:45,850 --> 01:22:47,450
good job of shutting down the
run.
1513
01:22:47,450 --> 01:22:50,450
I think we still do lets you
know Burks get a little bit of
1514
01:22:50,450 --> 01:22:53,130
action done, but they're not
going to quite do what they did
1515
01:22:53,130 --> 01:22:55,480
against a Fresno.
I think we're a little bit
1516
01:22:55,480 --> 01:22:57,080
better in the secondary than
they are.
1517
01:22:57,640 --> 01:23:04,880
I got a final score here of 3124
Hokies, 3124 Hokies.
1518
01:23:05,280 --> 01:23:07,080
So there we go.
We're all picking the Hokies.
1519
01:23:07,080 --> 01:23:10,120
We're all on the optimistic
train after the ODU game.
1520
01:23:10,240 --> 01:23:15,320
I hope it holds to fruition.
Even though all of us are going
1521
01:23:15,320 --> 01:23:19,520
to be in Blacksburg, we still
are putting up the big screeners
1522
01:23:19,600 --> 01:23:22,770
because probably we're gonna be
catching some of these, whether
1523
01:23:22,770 --> 01:23:25,210
we're sitting at a hotel,
friends houses, maybe the bar
1524
01:23:25,210 --> 01:23:28,210
after the game, but we've got
and well.
1525
01:23:28,330 --> 01:23:29,410
Really.
That cell service?
1526
01:23:29,410 --> 01:23:31,250
You can pick up a game in the
stadium now.
1527
01:23:32,010 --> 01:23:33,850
Is it that good?
Now no.
1528
01:23:34,930 --> 01:23:38,010
Don't get your hopes done.
You can get a tweet out.
1529
01:23:38,010 --> 01:23:41,490
You can get a tweet out now.
So I guess that's better than
1530
01:23:42,530 --> 01:23:44,650
what we've been doing with where
you couldn't get a text out.
1531
01:23:44,650 --> 01:23:48,020
So all right, well, let's talk
about our big screeners here.
1532
01:23:48,180 --> 01:23:52,660
So the first one here is going
to be Mr. Brian selection.
1533
01:23:52,660 --> 01:23:56,340
Brian is looking at Tulane
versus Ole Miss.
1534
01:23:56,900 --> 01:23:59,860
This is a 330 kick.
So when we potentially could
1535
01:23:59,860 --> 01:24:03,460
catch downtown after the Hokies
play Ole Miss.
1536
01:24:03,460 --> 01:24:07,180
Currently 7 1/2 point favorites.
What you got on this one, Brian?
1537
01:24:08,860 --> 01:24:11,460
Man, I just like this matchup.
I think this is going to be a
1538
01:24:11,460 --> 01:24:13,900
very intriguing matchup across
the board.
1539
01:24:15,800 --> 01:24:20,760
You know, I like Ole Miss, but I
think Tulane is going to have
1540
01:24:20,760 --> 01:24:24,920
just enough here to make this a
really tight when a little
1541
01:24:24,920 --> 01:24:28,040
squeaker down the stretch.
So I've got Ole Miss winning,
1542
01:24:28,120 --> 01:24:32,040
but I've got two lane in the
seven and a half there.
1543
01:24:32,040 --> 01:24:36,240
So I'll put two lane here on the
on the board and Brian, I'm I'm
1544
01:24:36,240 --> 01:24:37,400
right with you on that.
I think.
1545
01:24:37,560 --> 01:24:39,920
I think this is going to be a
highly entertaining game to
1546
01:24:39,920 --> 01:24:41,680
watch.
I think both these offenses can
1547
01:24:41,680 --> 01:24:44,480
move the ball.
I do think Ole Miss sneaks it.
1548
01:24:44,560 --> 01:24:49,360
Probably three to six points,
but two lane covers tally.
1549
01:24:49,800 --> 01:24:51,520
What about two schools down your
way?
1550
01:24:51,880 --> 01:24:54,160
Yeah, I'm going to say Ole Miss
is going to go ahead and take
1551
01:24:54,160 --> 01:24:58,800
this 1-2 Lane may have a cool
mascot.
1552
01:24:58,800 --> 01:25:01,360
I just don't think they're going
to have enough to win or cover.
1553
01:25:02,240 --> 01:25:04,200
All righty, Ole Miss there,
Sheldon.
1554
01:25:05,680 --> 01:25:11,640
Yeah, look, Ole Miss put up 73
points against Mercer the other
1555
01:25:11,640 --> 01:25:13,840
day.
Now I understand it's Mercer,
1556
01:25:13,840 --> 01:25:18,400
FCS, blah, blah, blah.
But I watched FCS football, so I
1557
01:25:18,400 --> 01:25:20,440
feel someone qualified to say
Mercer is a good team.
1558
01:25:20,440 --> 01:25:23,040
They've got a good defense and
73 points, 73 points.
1559
01:25:23,040 --> 01:25:25,680
So give me Ole Miss.
I'm taking the points by the
1560
01:25:25,680 --> 01:25:27,960
way, when we probably should be
looking at on this.
1561
01:25:27,960 --> 01:25:29,920
Go ahead and put Sheldon's up
there.
1562
01:25:29,920 --> 01:25:34,040
Ole Miss cover.
The Over Under is only 66 1/2 on
1563
01:25:34,040 --> 01:25:37,450
this game.
That just seems criminally low
1564
01:25:37,650 --> 01:25:42,050
because Tulane last week dropped
37 in their opening game.
1565
01:25:42,210 --> 01:25:46,170
So there's our bets.
But look at the over under 66
1566
01:25:46,170 --> 01:25:47,610
1/2.
I think we'll probably shoot up
1567
01:25:47,610 --> 01:25:51,450
to 74 game day.
All right, let's go out West.
1568
01:25:51,570 --> 01:25:55,250
This is Tally's pick for the
week team in his home state.
1569
01:25:55,290 --> 01:25:58,570
Auburn versus Cal.
Auburn on the road playing a
1570
01:25:58,570 --> 01:26:00,850
1030 game.
Tally's going to be passed out
1571
01:26:00,850 --> 01:26:04,410
at the hotel trying to watch
this Auburn 6 1/2 point
1572
01:26:04,410 --> 01:26:05,650
favorites.
Tyler, what you got?
1573
01:26:06,170 --> 01:26:09,010
Man, I was a little skeptical
about Auburn going all the way
1574
01:26:09,010 --> 01:26:14,450
across the across the globe over
here to go play Kyle, our new,
1575
01:26:14,810 --> 01:26:18,330
our new ACC mates over there.
So I thought this was an
1576
01:26:18,330 --> 01:26:22,730
intriguing matchup.
I was very close to taking Kyle,
1577
01:26:22,730 --> 01:26:25,970
but I'm going to take Auburn in
that in that matchup.
1578
01:26:25,970 --> 01:26:28,770
I know a couple of guys that's
down there playing in Auburn and
1579
01:26:28,770 --> 01:26:31,810
I got to watch them, got to
watch that game.
1580
01:26:32,350 --> 01:26:35,110
This weekend they've got a
freshman named Jeremiah Cobb.
1581
01:26:35,430 --> 01:26:40,190
If you guys haven't seen him
play, he was a four-star out of
1582
01:26:40,430 --> 01:26:43,750
Montgomery Catholic.
My first cousin is was his high
1583
01:26:43,750 --> 01:26:46,110
school coach.
He is a phenomenal athlete.
1584
01:26:46,470 --> 01:26:50,430
Think he had maybe about 60
yards and a touchdown in this
1585
01:26:50,430 --> 01:26:53,350
past weekend.
So Jeremiah Cobb y'all go check
1586
01:26:53,350 --> 01:26:54,870
them out Auburn.
I think they're going to take
1587
01:26:54,870 --> 01:26:56,790
this one.
All right, Auburn takes in
1588
01:26:56,790 --> 01:26:58,350
cover.
Sheldon, what you got on this
1589
01:26:58,350 --> 01:27:01,760
one?
Last week, the PAC 12 went
1590
01:27:01,800 --> 01:27:04,160
undefeated in nonconference
play.
1591
01:27:04,480 --> 01:27:07,320
Now some people look at that set
and say, well, the PAC 12 must
1592
01:27:07,320 --> 01:27:09,080
be back.
I would look at that set and say
1593
01:27:09,160 --> 01:27:10,720
regression to the mean is
coming.
1594
01:27:11,080 --> 01:27:15,160
So with that being said, the
analyst in me will take Auburn
1595
01:27:15,240 --> 01:27:19,080
to give the PAC 12 a little dose
of reality.
1596
01:27:20,200 --> 01:27:23,520
Alrighty.
Go and put mine up there, Brian.
1597
01:27:26,160 --> 01:27:27,240
I'm with them.
I just.
1598
01:27:27,960 --> 01:27:29,160
I know.
I know that.
1599
01:27:29,480 --> 01:27:34,000
I heard that's that too.
What was it Saturday night PAC
1600
01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:39,840
1213 and O 14 and O in play.
I just, you know, Hugh Freeze
1601
01:27:39,840 --> 01:27:41,600
coming there.
I just don't see that.
1602
01:27:41,600 --> 01:27:43,400
I think Auburn probably gets
slow.
1603
01:27:46,960 --> 01:27:49,280
Hold on before I finish my
statement here.
1604
01:27:49,480 --> 01:27:50,960
King Leo.
Virginia Tech.
1605
01:27:56,170 --> 01:27:58,530
Let me put that one down.
I think.
1606
01:27:58,530 --> 01:28:01,090
I mean Auburn.
Might pretty good, pretty good.
1607
01:28:01,090 --> 01:28:04,050
Auburn might get to a slow
start, but I think eventually
1608
01:28:04,050 --> 01:28:06,770
the talent will take over and I
think they will easily cover the
1609
01:28:06,770 --> 01:28:10,410
six and a half.
Yeah, I'm right there with you
1610
01:28:10,410 --> 01:28:16,210
War Eagle bitches.
I think that, you know, Cal
1611
01:28:16,210 --> 01:28:18,490
scored a lot of points against
the Mean Green out there in
1612
01:28:18,490 --> 01:28:22,550
North Texas, but I think that.
You know Hugh Freeze is going to
1613
01:28:22,550 --> 01:28:25,870
have a game plan for that.
I think there's going to be a
1614
01:28:25,870 --> 01:28:28,190
pretty decently high scoring
game and I think Auburn's going
1615
01:28:28,190 --> 01:28:29,990
to cover in the end.
So yeah, I'm taking Auburn as
1616
01:28:29,990 --> 01:28:31,750
well.
All righty.
1617
01:28:31,750 --> 01:28:35,630
All right, we flipped down to
Waco and Shelton's big Screener
1618
01:28:35,630 --> 01:28:38,510
of the Week, although it's going
to be going on during the game,
1619
01:28:38,510 --> 01:28:42,110
so he we better have good sale
service so Shelton can watch the
1620
01:28:42,310 --> 01:28:45,910
game.
Little Screener, Utah, Baylor,
1621
01:28:45,910 --> 01:28:49,830
Utah Rd.
Favorite 7 1/2 points.
1622
01:28:50,940 --> 01:28:52,420
Yeah, this is an interesting
matchup.
1623
01:28:52,420 --> 01:28:55,780
You've got a Baylor team that
just saw Blitz Creek from Texas
1624
01:28:55,780 --> 01:28:58,180
State the other week.
They've got a hot shot offensive
1625
01:28:58,180 --> 01:29:01,260
coordinator and head coach that
put up 42 points.
1626
01:29:01,540 --> 01:29:03,460
So they were looking for a
bounce back season.
1627
01:29:03,740 --> 01:29:07,300
Haven't quite gotten it so far.
And then Utah won against
1628
01:29:07,300 --> 01:29:09,250
Florida.
With their backup quarterback
1629
01:29:09,250 --> 01:29:12,290
Kim Rising, still out with an
injury as he's recovering from
1630
01:29:12,290 --> 01:29:15,290
that that a CL tear.
That being said, I think Utah's
1631
01:29:15,290 --> 01:29:17,410
got a really a really
well-rounded team.
1632
01:29:17,730 --> 01:29:20,170
They're playing at home.
I'll take the Utes to start the
1633
01:29:20,170 --> 01:29:24,890
Season 2 and O alrighty tally,
What do you got on this one?
1634
01:29:25,330 --> 01:29:28,490
You don't watch Utah kick
Florida's ass all over the
1635
01:29:28,490 --> 01:29:30,610
field.
I'm going to take Utah.
1636
01:29:30,810 --> 01:29:33,330
I don't got no analytics.
I don't got all the shelve, Made
1637
01:29:33,330 --> 01:29:35,010
it sound cool.
I'm just going to say you talk
1638
01:29:35,010 --> 01:29:39,310
of they whoop Florida's ass they
did with Florida that Brian.
1639
01:29:40,990 --> 01:29:43,030
I'm I'm sticking with our team
here.
1640
01:29:43,030 --> 01:29:46,230
I'm going with Utah.
I think Utah is probably one of
1641
01:29:46,230 --> 01:29:48,830
the eight best teams in the
country especially once they get
1642
01:29:49,590 --> 01:29:53,710
back to full strength there.
I like the way that they handled
1643
01:29:53,710 --> 01:29:56,430
Florida.
I was expecting that.
1644
01:29:56,550 --> 01:29:59,270
Yeah I I I picked them last week
but I was expecting a little bit
1645
01:29:59,270 --> 01:30:02,430
of a of a tighter matchup they
they really handled Florida
1646
01:30:02,430 --> 01:30:04,470
pretty well.
So give me the youths.
1647
01:30:07,020 --> 01:30:09,660
We are in agreement.
Again, I'm on Utah on this one
1648
01:30:09,660 --> 01:30:11,660
as well.
Lay the seven and a half.
1649
01:30:12,540 --> 01:30:15,820
I think the offensive Utah
continues to roll and to be
1650
01:30:15,820 --> 01:30:21,300
honest, Baylor got 31 against
the Texas State last week.
1651
01:30:21,500 --> 01:30:27,860
I don't think they're seeing 15
this week 30303017 Utah.
1652
01:30:29,860 --> 01:30:31,420
Alrighty.
Oh, I'm up next.
1653
01:30:31,700 --> 01:30:33,420
You're up next.
I'm up next.
1654
01:30:33,660 --> 01:30:39,600
I pulled out the Miami versus
Texas A and M, which is a 330
1655
01:30:39,600 --> 01:30:42,520
kick which we potentially could
watch before we leave Blacksburg
1656
01:30:42,840 --> 01:30:44,640
on Saturday night.
Brian.
1657
01:30:44,760 --> 01:30:50,960
Little dinner, Little Tots rail
drive back 3 1/2 hours, Top rail
1658
01:30:50,960 --> 01:30:53,080
Tots rail 10:30.
I'm 10 minutes.
1659
01:30:53,080 --> 01:30:55,200
I'm 10 minutes away from the
field, so I'm you. 10 minutes
1660
01:30:55,200 --> 01:30:58,280
away from the field is Sheldon.
Are you driving back Saturday
1661
01:30:58,280 --> 01:31:02,130
night or you staying up?
I got drive back, Okay.
1662
01:31:02,130 --> 01:31:04,210
You gotta drive back as well.
So we're all gonna have that.
1663
01:31:04,210 --> 01:31:05,450
We're gonna catch dinner
together.
1664
01:31:05,730 --> 01:31:10,250
All right.
Miami, Texas A and M, Miami four
1665
01:31:10,250 --> 01:31:14,890
point home dog to the Aggies.
I go back to the game last year
1666
01:31:15,130 --> 01:31:18,170
where Miami probably should have
won down Texas A and M and they
1667
01:31:18,170 --> 01:31:19,990
didn't.
And I don't know.
1668
01:31:19,990 --> 01:31:21,430
I just don't believe in Jim Beau
Fisher.
1669
01:31:21,470 --> 01:31:23,790
I think he's one of the biggest
Vegas coaches out there.
1670
01:31:24,230 --> 01:31:27,190
Yes, I know what I'm just being
for real.
1671
01:31:27,190 --> 01:31:29,150
The guy's one of the fakeest
coaches out there.
1672
01:31:29,510 --> 01:31:33,390
I don't know if Miami will win,
but I think 4 is too much delay
1673
01:31:33,390 --> 01:31:36,750
to give to Miami.
Give me Miami with the points.
1674
01:31:36,750 --> 01:31:38,790
I haven't know whose clue is
going to actually win the game
1675
01:31:38,790 --> 01:31:42,910
out right, though.
All right.
1676
01:31:43,030 --> 01:31:45,110
All right.
So we got Miami up there on the
1677
01:31:45,110 --> 01:31:48,190
board.
You know what I will shock Y'all
1678
01:31:48,190 --> 01:31:51,530
a little bit.
I'm going to A and M here.
1679
01:31:56,130 --> 01:31:59,450
Yeah.
I think they getting getting
1680
01:31:59,450 --> 01:32:04,330
Connor Weidman in there.
Good first game, 18 to 23236,
1681
01:32:04,330 --> 01:32:07,530
five touchdowns.
I know it was the Lobos, but it
1682
01:32:07,530 --> 01:32:10,370
looks like the biggest thing
that they had problems with last
1683
01:32:10,370 --> 01:32:13,290
year was quarterback play.
If they figured that out then
1684
01:32:13,290 --> 01:32:15,210
that could be a somewhat
dangerous team.
1685
01:32:15,210 --> 01:32:18,490
So give me, give me, give me A
and M here.
1686
01:32:19,230 --> 01:32:22,390
All righty, Tally.
I got to go Miami, man.
1687
01:32:22,510 --> 01:32:25,670
I got to go Miami.
I just think that, you know, the
1688
01:32:25,670 --> 01:32:27,910
ACC, we have to prove something
this year.
1689
01:32:28,350 --> 01:32:30,590
SEC.
You see what Mack Brown did to
1690
01:32:30,590 --> 01:32:34,230
Shane Beamer's face.
That's what we're doing all SEC
1691
01:32:34,710 --> 01:32:37,830
opponents all year, just letting
y'all know.
1692
01:32:38,470 --> 01:32:40,630
Squeeze, grab, heard round the
world.
1693
01:32:40,990 --> 01:32:43,390
Face squeezing, mushing your
face.
1694
01:32:43,910 --> 01:32:46,640
Miami.
Now that's just what an old man
1695
01:32:46,640 --> 01:32:48,800
does to younger kids.
I mean, turn you away.
1696
01:32:48,840 --> 01:32:50,960
Yeah, she'll do you guys.
Yeah.
1697
01:32:51,840 --> 01:32:53,400
I know people are gonna say I'm
crazy.
1698
01:32:53,400 --> 01:32:57,960
I think that you was back.
They totally took Ohio to the
1699
01:32:57,960 --> 01:33:02,080
woodshed last Saturday.
I know it's a it's a Mac team.
1700
01:33:02,080 --> 01:33:03,320
But look, that was a time to
win.
1701
01:33:03,320 --> 01:33:05,320
So I'm taking Miami.
I think they're good football
1702
01:33:05,320 --> 01:33:07,520
team this year.
Alrighty.
1703
01:33:08,240 --> 01:33:08,840
Yes.
I don't trust.
1704
01:33:08,840 --> 01:33:10,360
I don't trust Jimbo either.
There you go.
1705
01:33:10,360 --> 01:33:11,920
See, it's Jimbo.
Nobody trusts him.
1706
01:33:12,000 --> 01:33:14,720
All right, there are two more on
the screen here.
1707
01:33:15,080 --> 01:33:18,000
One is probably the biggest
matchup in the A/C with
1708
01:33:18,320 --> 01:33:23,440
effectively the ACC this week in
NC State and Notre Dame.
1709
01:33:24,680 --> 01:33:29,720
And so for this one, Notre Dame,
7 1/2 point home favorite, by
1710
01:33:29,720 --> 01:33:34,440
the way.
Ole Miss or or Tulane.
1711
01:33:34,720 --> 01:33:36,630
Home dog.
Cal.
1712
01:33:36,630 --> 01:33:37,990
Home dog.
Baylor.
1713
01:33:37,990 --> 01:33:40,150
Home dog.
We got nothing but home dogs
1714
01:33:40,150 --> 01:33:44,430
here so far.
So Sheldon, no.
1715
01:33:44,670 --> 01:33:46,350
NC State.
Notre Dame.
1716
01:33:46,790 --> 01:33:51,110
Who is your pick?
Yeah, I'm taking Notre Dame, but
1717
01:33:51,110 --> 01:33:52,710
not with the hydrogate of
confidence.
1718
01:33:52,710 --> 01:33:55,310
I just like Sam Hartman.
He's a stud man.
1719
01:33:55,350 --> 01:33:57,790
I mean, he's just lit up Navy.
I know Navy's got some issues,
1720
01:33:57,790 --> 01:33:59,830
but that was a dominant
performance.
1721
01:33:59,870 --> 01:34:02,020
NC State.
I feel like the other team that
1722
01:34:02,020 --> 01:34:04,620
just kind of, you know, always
falls flat in big games.
1723
01:34:04,820 --> 01:34:06,620
So I'll take.
I'll take Notre Dame.
1724
01:34:08,780 --> 01:34:10,740
You got Tally.
Yeah, I'm going to take Notre
1725
01:34:10,740 --> 01:34:12,860
Dame in this game as well, just
like Sheldon said.
1726
01:34:12,940 --> 01:34:15,860
I've been watching Sam Hartman
for a long time.
1727
01:34:16,620 --> 01:34:18,580
Kids are stubbed, man.
I just think that they'll.
1728
01:34:19,340 --> 01:34:22,100
I wasn't too impressed with a
North Carolina State last week.
1729
01:34:22,220 --> 01:34:24,780
I mean, every week is different,
but I'm going to take Notre Dame
1730
01:34:24,780 --> 01:34:27,510
in this one.
I'm with exactly what Tally said
1731
01:34:27,510 --> 01:34:30,590
right there.
Watching NC State play UConn up
1732
01:34:30,670 --> 01:34:35,470
in Hartford, they did not look
good, especially on the
1733
01:34:35,470 --> 01:34:38,110
offensive side of the ball.
I think the defense is going to
1734
01:34:38,110 --> 01:34:41,110
be solid, but y'all just
mentioned they have Sam Hartman,
1735
01:34:41,110 --> 01:34:43,390
they have weapons, they have a
better offensive line.
1736
01:34:43,790 --> 01:34:47,110
And I think 7 1/2 is just enough
points to take because I think
1737
01:34:47,110 --> 01:34:49,670
this is like a 10 point game.
Probably entertaining.
1738
01:34:49,670 --> 01:34:53,430
Ain't going on while the Hokies
are playing, but I can't see NC
1739
01:34:53,430 --> 01:34:58,130
State.
He's keeping quite up with Notre
1740
01:34:58,130 --> 01:35:01,650
Dame.
Yeah, I'll finish this one out
1741
01:35:01,650 --> 01:35:03,370
and say I'm right there with
everybody here.
1742
01:35:04,730 --> 01:35:07,930
Some of the same reasons.
Sam Hartman I think is going to
1743
01:35:07,930 --> 01:35:11,450
be one of the Heisman finalists
this year.
1744
01:35:12,250 --> 01:35:16,010
I think he's got that level of
play with with the with the
1745
01:35:16,010 --> 01:35:18,570
offensive line play that Notre
Dame has, with the weapons that
1746
01:35:18,570 --> 01:35:20,170
they have.
I think he's going to really be
1747
01:35:20,170 --> 01:35:25,130
in play for that that trip.
So give me Notre Dame.
1748
01:35:25,170 --> 01:35:28,610
I I think it's going to be about
a 10 point victory for Notre
1749
01:35:28,610 --> 01:35:31,970
Dame.
Alrighty and well, the big one
1750
01:35:31,970 --> 01:35:36,970
is Saturday night down in
Tuscaloosa, AL, Texas.
1751
01:35:37,010 --> 01:35:39,330
Game day's obviously going to be
there and it is a big game.
1752
01:35:39,490 --> 01:35:41,570
I mean, we are college football
fans.
1753
01:35:41,570 --> 01:35:44,530
We we're not just sitting here
and going to crap on things
1754
01:35:44,530 --> 01:35:46,730
because that is a big game.
It was a big game last year,
1755
01:35:46,970 --> 01:35:51,180
high noon down to Texas, where
that turned into a game that
1756
01:35:51,180 --> 01:35:55,100
Texas just about got Alabama.
Now in this case, Tuscaloosa.
1757
01:35:55,620 --> 01:36:00,860
Only a 7 point favorite is
Alabama, who's coming off a I
1758
01:36:00,860 --> 01:36:03,580
mean it's it's technically a
thrashing, but it took a while
1759
01:36:03,580 --> 01:36:05,940
to get them going versus Middle
Tennessee State.
1760
01:36:06,500 --> 01:36:10,860
Brian Who are you taking in this
game with the points?
1761
01:36:12,900 --> 01:36:14,820
Yeah, I think this is kind of a
nobrainer.
1762
01:36:14,820 --> 01:36:17,820
I think Texas, you know, we saw
that slow start.
1763
01:36:17,820 --> 01:36:20,620
They don't have a dynamic player
like B John Robinson in anymore.
1764
01:36:21,840 --> 01:36:24,920
I really think that Alabama's
going to take this one over.
1765
01:36:24,920 --> 01:36:31,640
Start to finish.
Give me Bama Texas Horns down
1766
01:36:33,320 --> 01:36:37,680
penalty sportsman like conduct
on Siegler. 15 yards.
1767
01:36:38,480 --> 01:36:40,080
I'm actually right there with
you, Brian.
1768
01:36:42,720 --> 01:36:45,520
I just don't trust Texas.
I don't.
1769
01:36:45,520 --> 01:36:47,080
And it's not so much their
offense.
1770
01:36:47,120 --> 01:36:48,840
I just think they're going to be
sort of.
1771
01:36:49,240 --> 01:36:52,860
I just feel like you talk about
Bijan being there last year and
1772
01:36:52,860 --> 01:36:57,940
remember they still it was still
more of a 2320 type game down in
1773
01:36:57,940 --> 01:37:00,780
Austin last year.
I just don't trust their
1774
01:37:00,780 --> 01:37:03,860
defense.
I don't and I know yes, they won
1775
01:37:03,860 --> 01:37:07,260
like 37 to 10 last week, but who
are they playing?
1776
01:37:07,260 --> 01:37:09,260
We were trying pieces of that
game.
1777
01:37:09,260 --> 01:37:13,420
Rice.
It was Rice 18, Daniels 60 year
1778
01:37:13,740 --> 01:37:15,860
who was supposed to be a great
quarterback coming out as it
1779
01:37:15,860 --> 01:37:19,380
Rice right now.
And they got throttled by Texas.
1780
01:37:19,930 --> 01:37:23,410
Not a big start, but give me
Bama, give me the 7th.
1781
01:37:23,410 --> 01:37:26,090
I think it'll probably be an
entertaining game, but I I can't
1782
01:37:26,090 --> 01:37:28,050
see Texas winning this one we're
covering.
1783
01:37:29,930 --> 01:37:32,450
Yeah, I got Texas covering.
Actually, man, I don't know if
1784
01:37:32,450 --> 01:37:35,890
they will actually win.
Fuck it.
1785
01:37:35,890 --> 01:37:37,450
I'm gonna say Texas wins a close
one.
1786
01:37:39,130 --> 01:37:41,490
Alabama is a little bit, you
know, they're a little different
1787
01:37:41,490 --> 01:37:43,130
this year.
I know they've got some.
1788
01:37:43,570 --> 01:37:45,970
They've got some injuries on the
back end that some of the fans
1789
01:37:45,970 --> 01:37:47,450
have been talking about.
I'm not sure.
1790
01:37:47,930 --> 01:37:50,130
Of the names, if you go look
them up, I'm sure you can find
1791
01:37:50,130 --> 01:37:51,050
it.
They got a couple of injuries
1792
01:37:51,050 --> 01:37:52,810
there.
They got a wire to see what it's
1793
01:37:52,810 --> 01:37:54,250
been out that they're waiting
on.
1794
01:37:54,250 --> 01:37:57,570
I think he's got a hip something
going on with his hip and
1795
01:37:57,570 --> 01:38:00,330
Alabama just they're always
going to be a good team.
1796
01:38:00,330 --> 01:38:02,490
But I don't think they have a
star power that they they
1797
01:38:02,530 --> 01:38:04,450
usually have.
You know they're breaking in a
1798
01:38:04,450 --> 01:38:07,170
new quarterback and he didn't
have to do shit for real last
1799
01:38:07,170 --> 01:38:09,370
week because they were
fundamentally Middle Tennessee
1800
01:38:09,370 --> 01:38:12,890
state.
I think just what Texas have in
1801
01:38:13,930 --> 01:38:16,370
athletes that can be on the
field against them.
1802
01:38:16,770 --> 01:38:18,290
It's gonna be a little bit of a
different look.
1803
01:38:18,290 --> 01:38:21,970
So I'm gonna give it to Texas.
I'm gonna say Texas wins a close
1804
01:38:21,970 --> 01:38:24,810
one.
Texas wins a close one.
1805
01:38:25,090 --> 01:38:28,690
Sheldon closes out with our big
Screener here.
1806
01:38:29,730 --> 01:38:33,970
Brian put tallies up.
Yeah, yeah.
1807
01:38:34,250 --> 01:38:37,490
Hard to bet against Nick Saban.
I mean, I actually think Texas
1808
01:38:37,490 --> 01:38:40,050
was a good team last year that
got really unlucky.
1809
01:38:40,630 --> 01:38:42,470
You know, the Alabama game was a
perfect example.
1810
01:38:42,470 --> 01:38:43,670
Like they had a feeling like it
breaks.
1811
01:38:43,670 --> 01:38:45,510
They were at home though.
They had to win at their back
1812
01:38:45,510 --> 01:38:48,990
and lost a close game.
I just can't go against Nick
1813
01:38:48,990 --> 01:38:50,510
Saban at home.
I feel like this is type of the
1814
01:38:50,510 --> 01:38:53,190
game where, you know, Alabama's
up by 7:00 late in the third
1815
01:38:53,190 --> 01:38:54,870
quarter and then they end up
winning by 24.
1816
01:38:55,470 --> 01:38:56,990
That's just, that's just how I
look at it.
1817
01:38:56,990 --> 01:38:59,430
So I'll take, I'll take them And
the points.
1818
01:39:00,150 --> 01:39:05,650
Taking them and the points.
So Brian says the graphic he was
1819
01:39:05,650 --> 01:39:08,250
working with froze up there.
Still good.
1820
01:39:08,410 --> 01:39:10,170
We're agreeing on a lot of
things.
1821
01:39:10,170 --> 01:39:16,570
Boys, has anything broken since
we fired Twitter or since we've
1822
01:39:16,570 --> 01:39:19,250
been on here?
Well, for me, for me and Brian,
1823
01:39:19,650 --> 01:39:21,890
Christian Wood is a Laker for
two years.
1824
01:39:22,210 --> 01:39:23,370
Who's Christian Wood?
Hey.
1825
01:39:23,730 --> 01:39:27,130
Christian Wood is a is a big man
that played for The Mavericks
1826
01:39:27,130 --> 01:39:30,490
and he's going to be a good
backup to bring in.
1827
01:39:31,130 --> 01:39:33,690
When we need a D to have a
little rest.
1828
01:39:33,850 --> 01:39:38,570
So all my Laker fans are pretty
excited about getting getting
1829
01:39:38,570 --> 01:39:41,410
him over there with the Lakers.
We needed some youth.
1830
01:39:41,410 --> 01:39:44,730
All right, real quick, this is
not on the rundown, but I just
1831
01:39:44,730 --> 01:39:46,370
want to get y'all.
Just gut opinion.
1832
01:39:47,730 --> 01:39:50,770
Most telling story of the
college football weekend.
1833
01:39:50,770 --> 01:39:54,450
Sheldon you.
Tell me this upcoming weekend.
1834
01:39:54,490 --> 01:39:55,530
No, no, no.
Last weekend.
1835
01:39:56,170 --> 01:40:00,570
Last weekend?
Just a lot of craziness, I mean.
1836
01:40:00,990 --> 01:40:03,190
I don't.
I think one thing I'd I'd be
1837
01:40:03,190 --> 01:40:06,430
interested to see is like do we
have a truly elite team this
1838
01:40:06,430 --> 01:40:09,630
year because Georgia they didn't
always upgrade against UT
1839
01:40:09,630 --> 01:40:12,990
Martin.
You know Bama had Bama had some
1840
01:40:12,990 --> 01:40:16,630
struggles.
I just don't know if there's
1841
01:40:16,630 --> 01:40:19,830
like a like a you know,
Megatron, Death Slayer, you
1842
01:40:19,870 --> 01:40:22,710
know, 3000 like we had like
Georgia last year, Alabama in
1843
01:40:22,710 --> 01:40:26,310
2020 or Clemson 2018.
I just, I don't think you have
1844
01:40:26,310 --> 01:40:29,630
that truly elite, you know,
championship level team.
1845
01:40:29,980 --> 01:40:32,260
We're going to find out soon,
but I I think this could be a
1846
01:40:32,260 --> 01:40:34,860
situation where there might be a
little bit more parity at the
1847
01:40:34,860 --> 01:40:38,260
top in 2023.
But we'll see.
1848
01:40:39,340 --> 01:40:44,660
So I'm on, I'm on, I'm on, I'm
on, hit on a couple of things,
1849
01:40:44,660 --> 01:40:45,780
but I'm going to try to make it
quick.
1850
01:40:46,220 --> 01:40:51,660
Number one, and I think we've
seen the end of Clemson's
1851
01:40:51,660 --> 01:40:53,860
dynasty or whatever they had
going on.
1852
01:40:54,260 --> 01:40:57,380
I don't think that they will be
as elite as they have been in
1853
01:40:57,380 --> 01:40:59,500
the past, partly because their
coach.
1854
01:41:01,090 --> 01:41:05,690
Doesn't like to use the
transport portal And then also I
1855
01:41:05,690 --> 01:41:11,530
just think that with the
transport portal and how college
1856
01:41:11,530 --> 01:41:15,090
football NIL is today, there's
stuff more spread out.
1857
01:41:15,090 --> 01:41:19,450
You're seeing some some elite
talent at other places.
1858
01:41:19,930 --> 01:41:22,490
Case in point, I'm going to
bring up Colorado.
1859
01:41:22,970 --> 01:41:26,770
I mean, Jesus Christ,
everybody's eyes was glued to
1860
01:41:26,770 --> 01:41:29,050
that game.
I think some people will put a
1861
01:41:29,050 --> 01:41:31,370
little bit more stock into it
than they probably should.
1862
01:41:31,730 --> 01:41:34,850
But for Dion to go out there and
do what he did, I think they
1863
01:41:34,850 --> 01:41:38,410
made one last one game last year
to have that much height.
1864
01:41:38,410 --> 01:41:43,050
He's on every commercial that
I've seen, his boys was playing
1865
01:41:43,050 --> 01:41:44,530
super hard.
They're ranked now.
1866
01:41:44,530 --> 01:41:49,730
So just the the first week of
college football to see Clemson
1867
01:41:49,730 --> 01:41:53,730
go down and Colorado to win in
the fashion that did.
1868
01:41:53,730 --> 01:41:56,610
Man, college football was back.
Segal.
1869
01:41:57,970 --> 01:42:02,330
The death of the new spring
church mafia, that's what.
1870
01:42:02,330 --> 01:42:03,770
That's what's happening this
year.
1871
01:42:05,090 --> 01:42:06,770
That's what's happening this
year.
1872
01:42:07,410 --> 01:42:10,930
We are seeing the the return of
Clemsoning.
1873
01:42:11,610 --> 01:42:15,010
We are.
We are seeing the return of a
1874
01:42:15,370 --> 01:42:22,130
team that did not adapt with the
times by pure, pure hubris.
1875
01:42:22,670 --> 01:42:25,510
By Dabo Swinney.
I think we're seeing that the
1876
01:42:25,510 --> 01:42:27,350
chickens are coming home to
roost a little bit.
1877
01:42:27,350 --> 01:42:30,990
This is going to be a rough year
for the Clemson Tigers overall.
1878
01:42:31,390 --> 01:42:34,350
I'm not saying they're going to
win like five or six games, but
1879
01:42:34,350 --> 01:42:37,950
I mean they could easily take
three or four losses this year
1880
01:42:38,030 --> 01:42:39,630
easily.
Please, I hope they do all
1881
01:42:39,710 --> 01:42:41,190
right.
Y'all had all your fun with
1882
01:42:41,190 --> 01:42:42,310
Clemson.
I'm I'm going to look on a
1883
01:42:42,310 --> 01:42:45,230
little bit different.
Florida State is for real.
1884
01:42:45,590 --> 01:42:50,150
They may not be a wrote it down
here Megatron Death Slayer 3000.
1885
01:42:50,390 --> 01:42:54,850
Yes, that's the first.
That is the phrase anytime the
1886
01:42:54,850 --> 01:42:56,250
team we're going to refer to is
that.
1887
01:42:56,530 --> 01:42:59,650
But I think what they did in the
second-half to LSU says a lot.
1888
01:42:59,650 --> 01:43:03,170
LSU is a good team and I this is
where you know Tally you
1889
01:43:03,170 --> 01:43:06,850
mentioned the SEC.
I swear to God, I I I turn on
1890
01:43:06,970 --> 01:43:09,490
Monday morning.
Well they didn't have their
1891
01:43:09,490 --> 01:43:12,370
starting defensive tackle.
You lost by 24.1.
1892
01:43:12,370 --> 01:43:14,690
Starting defensive tackle ain't
making up 24 points.
1893
01:43:14,770 --> 01:43:17,610
It might be a 2 score game.
It ain't going to make up 24
1894
01:43:17,610 --> 01:43:19,370
points.
So shut you stinking mouths
1895
01:43:19,370 --> 01:43:21,610
about that.
I think FSU is bad.
1896
01:43:21,690 --> 01:43:25,050
Back I hope, man.
We are rolling going into there
1897
01:43:25,370 --> 01:43:27,370
in week six.
I really do.
1898
01:43:27,610 --> 01:43:29,050
Just because you know you always
want to.
1899
01:43:29,050 --> 01:43:30,730
Stack make it look respectable,
man.
1900
01:43:31,210 --> 01:43:32,850
Just, yeah.
Again, I don't have any.
1901
01:43:32,890 --> 01:43:33,970
I already said that's going to
be a.
1902
01:43:34,010 --> 01:43:38,690
If it's only 24 points, then
this make it look we played as
1903
01:43:38,690 --> 01:43:41,250
good as the number five team in
the country.
1904
01:43:41,950 --> 01:43:43,590
Man, I want to win, don't get me
wrong.
1905
01:43:43,990 --> 01:43:45,190
Stop, stop.
Don't get him going.
1906
01:43:45,310 --> 01:43:47,630
Preseason rankings.
We'll be here 30 minutes.
1907
01:43:47,790 --> 01:43:49,350

morning meeting.
