1
00:00:44,700 --> 00:00:50,000
Welcome back to the boundary
Corner podcast, Ron, Siegel it

2
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,900
is late on a Saturday night.
My friend.

3
00:00:51,900 --> 00:00:55,100
How are you sir?
I'm good, buddy, watching,

4
00:00:55,100 --> 00:00:57,000
Michigan.
Close this one out against the

5
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,600
dub.
Yeah, that a little bit of good

6
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,600
day for college football.
Been a few few upsets a few

7
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:07,100
close calls.
It has Ohio State goes down to

8
00:01:07,100 --> 00:01:09,300
Oregon without cave on
Thibodeau.

9
00:01:09,900 --> 00:01:14,300
That was a little bit shocking.
The old BC quarterback, Anthony

10
00:01:14,300 --> 00:01:20,200
Brown leads them to Victory.
Brian is Texas back.

11
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:26,600
No sir.
No, they are not an isolated.

12
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,500
In Fayetteville that Arkansas,
we get that one wrong.

13
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,200
Yeah, well you're wrong.
That's okay.

14
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,500
It's okay.
Arkansas is defense.

15
00:01:39,500 --> 00:01:42,200
Show the hell up?
They did you know who else

16
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,000
showed the hell up and almost
pulled out a massive upset, kind

17
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,700
of driver.
Oh yeah, Colorado abstain as

18
00:01:50,700 --> 00:01:53,000
well.
AB state was on the door.

19
00:01:53,700 --> 00:02:02,700
I took the nine.
You know, the hurricanes and

20
00:02:02,700 --> 00:02:09,199
their wonderful home stadium
with 26,000 people not much of a

21
00:02:09,199 --> 00:02:14,600
place to play.
So it was a really good day for

22
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:23,900
college football and even better
when the Hokies BL w.

23
00:02:23,900 --> 00:02:27,100
We stay.
We have we gotta get to W.

24
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,100
Naught may be the prettiest.
We we are not enthusiastic about

25
00:02:32,100 --> 00:02:35,300
this W but we will take it.
We will take it.

26
00:02:36,100 --> 00:02:39,400
I was a hot garbage time
touchdown from nailing the

27
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:44,600
spread on the money at 28 and
then you know we decide to put

28
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,500
every young player in and they
almost held but they did.

29
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,400
I was in close.
I almost I pretty much nailed.

30
00:02:51,500 --> 00:02:53,700
And what Tennessee state was
going to do.

31
00:02:55,300 --> 00:02:57,800
I was a undersold Us by a field
goal.

32
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,300
So I was pretty damn close.
If it was if it was Price, is

33
00:03:01,300 --> 00:03:02,600
Right?
I hit that shit on the money.

34
00:03:02,900 --> 00:03:05,200
You did, you did hit the prizes
to Bronson.

35
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,000
Let's first before we do
anything else, let's toast the

36
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,800
W.
Yes, sir.

37
00:03:11,700 --> 00:03:14,600
Hey guys, you know, I'm repping
fighting Hoagies here with this

38
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,100
is actually Sierra Nevada.
So you're writing fighting

39
00:03:18,100 --> 00:03:20,400
hokey, pull stand up a little
bit, show the Sheraton.

40
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,700
You get to find Hoagies long if
shirt.

41
00:03:25,700 --> 00:03:28,900
I got the number Clear,
Mountain, Air John laser shirt.

42
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,400
We are truly 2021 spokespeople
for the Hokies out there.

43
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:40,700
So, but again, we got the W.
I think, if I think if this run,

44
00:03:41,700 --> 00:03:45,400
if I tell you the game in the
3514 but it was 21, nothing in

45
00:03:45,408 --> 00:03:47,800
the first half.
I think everyone is doing this

46
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,400
game different but it didn't
happen that way.

47
00:03:50,900 --> 00:03:54,400
No, not the flow of the game is
the problem and kind of the

48
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,100
overall We're all feeling of
way.

49
00:03:57,100 --> 00:04:01,300
The first half kind of went down
was the problem, not necessarily

50
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:06,800
what the end result is.
I think we're pretty much fine

51
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:11,300
with with the end result cover.
The spread Captain, it orange

52
00:04:11,300 --> 00:04:13,500
length, especially the entire
second half.

53
00:04:13,500 --> 00:04:16,600
But that first half just, it
didn't sit.

54
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,899
Well it didn't feel right and it
kind of got everybody in a

55
00:04:19,907 --> 00:04:22,100
little bit of a funk, right?
You're right.

56
00:04:22,100 --> 00:04:24,000
You're up.
So let's jump into it.

57
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,800
So before A jump into it though.
Shout out, Matt Neal.

58
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,800
What are you drinking tonight?
Stan.

59
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,000
Hello and listening in.
I bet.

60
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,900
It's bourbon.
I bet it's Tito's.

61
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:43,100
Hey, I bet it's Tito's Tito's,
and he does and some some

62
00:04:43,100 --> 00:04:46,600
Lacroix out there.
All right, so Brian is

63
00:04:46,700 --> 00:04:52,100
effectively labeled the Middle,
Tennessee State, the tale of two

64
00:04:52,100 --> 00:04:54,400
halves.
So let's start with the first

65
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,600
half and let's start the first
play of the game Run.

66
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,500
Keshawn King kind of in the
doghouse little bit for the

67
00:05:02,500 --> 00:05:05,300
fumble.
Last week comes out.

68
00:05:05,300 --> 00:05:08,700
Gets it right at the goal line.
He takes it.

69
00:05:08,900 --> 00:05:11,900
He sees a crease left, he cuts
and he goes.

70
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,500
Yep.
And you saw the leverage, he was

71
00:05:16,500 --> 00:05:18,900
going to get caught but not
before he got just about to

72
00:05:18,900 --> 00:05:24,900
Midfield.
I mean when that happened to me

73
00:05:24,900 --> 00:05:27,700
the first thoughts in your mind
like it's like okay this is

74
00:05:27,700 --> 00:05:30,500
going to be a route.
Yeah, I was like okay we're

75
00:05:30,500 --> 00:05:33,900
coming out the gate hot again,
you know this this is kind of

76
00:05:33,900 --> 00:05:37,800
the energy that we brought to
the start of the UNC game.

77
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,600
We're going to kind of keep that
going and then the offense took

78
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:45,300
the field and it just felt
different Seem like they just

79
00:05:45,300 --> 00:05:46,300
couldn't get out of their own
way.

80
00:05:46,300 --> 00:05:51,200
A little bit did really, like
the way the offensive line was

81
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,300
playing in the first half, but
those first couple drives a

82
00:05:54,308 --> 00:05:56,900
particular look, like, they just
weren't quite getting the calls

83
00:05:56,900 --> 00:06:00,100
where they needed to be weren't
quite where they wanted to be

84
00:06:00,100 --> 00:06:04,600
getting to the second level.
Blankenship was making plays.

85
00:06:04,900 --> 00:06:07,200
Did a good job of kind of
running sideline, to sideline,

86
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,500
to stretch some of those lateral
runs out.

87
00:06:10,300 --> 00:06:12,000
And it was just just wasn't a
good start for us.

88
00:06:12,300 --> 00:06:16,100
Yeah, it was yucky it.
As yucky it looked super plane.

89
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,400
Unlike you and see we did not
attack the edges.

90
00:06:19,500 --> 00:06:23,200
Any and in the passing game?
No.

91
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,400
Well, in Braun, something mean,
you talked about was they were

92
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,700
small undersized quick defense,
would you have with the first

93
00:06:30,700 --> 00:06:32,500
play you have read would have
been outside zone or if you

94
00:06:32,500 --> 00:06:34,000
around a little, something
different.

95
00:06:34,500 --> 00:06:38,000
I mean, it's our bread and
butter but at the same time it

96
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,300
does kind of play into the
string.

97
00:06:39,300 --> 00:06:41,500
So what they like to do and how
they like to attack the

98
00:06:41,500 --> 00:06:44,500
offensive lines.
So Have been nice to see

99
00:06:44,500 --> 00:06:47,200
something different.
Something similar to kind of how

100
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,000
we came out against UNC with
that.

101
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,100
Little swing pass to get
Blackshear up open, get them

102
00:06:53,100 --> 00:06:57,500
kind of on their heels a little
bit, you know, but it seemed

103
00:06:57,500 --> 00:07:02,400
like the the plan from the
get-go was kind of to keep

104
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,200
things vanilla on both sides of
the ball.

105
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,000
That's kind of how we came out
on the offense, the call the

106
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,500
calls, were kind of vanilla kind
of straightforward and

107
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,100
unfortunately, the way we
executed them reflected, That.

108
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,000
Yeah, the way we executed
reflected the way we executed it

109
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,400
also looked like again why did
not want to be right?

110
00:07:24,700 --> 00:07:30,100
Is because you know, like any
time we get a ranking this early

111
00:07:30,100 --> 00:07:32,800
in the season it's like I don't
necessarily say goes to the guys

112
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,200
heads, but it's like it.
We lose the chip.

113
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,900
We had a chip last Friday night
we played angry.

114
00:07:41,100 --> 00:07:43,300
What's up tally?
Thanks for checking in with us

115
00:07:43,300 --> 00:07:47,200
tonight.
Man in tally we got a we got

116
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,300
Billy on here.
Billy everybody will Bill

117
00:07:51,300 --> 00:07:53,700
appreciate you guys jumping in
hanging out with us.

118
00:07:53,900 --> 00:07:55,500
Exactly.
For Billy though.

119
00:07:55,700 --> 00:07:57,200
Billy you're in the west coast
man.

120
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:01,600
It's the night has just begun
for you sir, but it's the whole

121
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:07,600
piece of We get it, we lose the
chip and then it takes us having

122
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,300
a bad have to get the chip back,
you know?

123
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,900
So the first two drives not
good.

124
00:08:14,100 --> 00:08:16,600
It started the game off slow.
But you know what?

125
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:22,500
Brian, what we saw last week
with UNC defense came to play

126
00:08:22,500 --> 00:08:26,400
again.
Yep, defense came to play, had a

127
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,700
couple couple plays where they
had some positive.

128
00:08:29,700 --> 00:08:32,700
Then we would just we would put
it back in the - there and then

129
00:08:32,700 --> 00:08:35,900
we got two quick three and out.
It's to start the game for them.

130
00:08:36,799 --> 00:08:39,500
I like the energy that the
defense brought out the gate,

131
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,299
which the offense would have
batch that.

132
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,900
But overall, first two drives
ended up debt.

133
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,400
What for total, three announce
for both sides.

134
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:52,800
They're so kind of a slow start
on both sides all offensively

135
00:08:53,700 --> 00:08:56,000
and then we kind of woke up.
It was kind of a weird way that

136
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,200
we woke up man because we woke
up after a Braxton Burmeister

137
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,800
scramble that resulted in a big
shot on his shoulder that end

138
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,400
up.
Taking Braxton back to the

139
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,400
locker room for a little bit.
Yeah, unfortunately, that had a

140
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,400
happening.
And when that happened, Brian, I

141
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,200
just in the words of Leslie
board and I just sat there.

142
00:09:14,900 --> 00:09:16,200
I went.
Well, shit.

143
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:23,000
That's the season.
Usually wait, you went full in

144
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:23,900
the other ear.
Like alright.

145
00:09:23,900 --> 00:09:25,300
We're done.
It's over.

146
00:09:25,300 --> 00:09:27,100
Yeah.
Stick a fork in this.

147
00:09:27,100 --> 00:09:28,900
I was like no.
Well now we gotta we gotta wait

148
00:09:28,900 --> 00:09:32,100
on this man.
Well, this is still I mean no

149
00:09:32,100 --> 00:09:34,300
disrespect to Middle Tennessee
but this is still Middleton.

150
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,600
Ceci, hold on there.
But yeah, we'll just be thinking

151
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,700
long-term whole season, not just
one.

152
00:09:39,700 --> 00:09:41,800
Sure, sure.
But it's also the fact that he

153
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,600
got hit and he just laid there.
Yeah.

154
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,700
Laying there and we can we know
his history with his shoulder

155
00:09:47,700 --> 00:09:51,700
and we haven't know that.
One of the key things we want to

156
00:09:51,700 --> 00:09:54,400
do is try to try to limit that
those big hits.

157
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:58,500
You know, his game, he's going
to take some shots but you don't

158
00:09:58,500 --> 00:10:03,400
want him taking shots like that
you know, somebody that's on the

159
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,300
the baseball team.
Team, teach this kid to slide,

160
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,100
please.
Let's do that first.

161
00:10:09,900 --> 00:10:12,500
If you don't teach him to slide
at least teach him to leave his

162
00:10:12,500 --> 00:10:14,800
left shoulder, not his right
shoulder.

163
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:21,200
I mean he's a full-on gamer
though because you know, we had

164
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:25,600
a couple good plays from Knox.
Kadem came in there, we got one

165
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,400
another about 20 yards.
Yeah.

166
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,200
Or so on that drive after knocks
came in.

167
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,400
Then you know, Braxton comes
back out, throws a nice little

168
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,900
Fade to a v on Robinson and the
left corner of the end zone.

169
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,000
Good guys are up 7-nothing.
Exactly, good guys up 7-nothing,

170
00:10:42,900 --> 00:10:45,600
they ran that route a little bit
shorter than they did.

171
00:10:46,300 --> 00:10:50,000
Last week against UNC and nailed
it perfect, something else.

172
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,900
And it might have saved for
Braxton on that drive was there

173
00:10:53,900 --> 00:10:59,300
was a review for targeting dip
because Braxton went out, he

174
00:10:59,300 --> 00:11:02,400
went to the tent.
Then they took him back and I'm

175
00:11:02,408 --> 00:11:04,800
sure that it will just make sure
he wasn't concussed.

176
00:11:05,300 --> 00:11:08,000
But I'm Ted was quick to so
maybe he was back.

177
00:11:08,100 --> 00:11:11,700
He was back in the locker room.
Probably shoulder pads off

178
00:11:11,700 --> 00:11:14,300
before they ever even got back
from the review.

179
00:11:14,700 --> 00:11:17,200
So this is what I think.
And with that, I think they went

180
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,900
under the tent because test
pool, you know you can get up in

181
00:11:20,900 --> 00:11:24,500
there, Brian feel, anything,
feel broken know and probably

182
00:11:24,500 --> 00:11:27,500
the next thought was well you've
bleeped up this shoulder before.

183
00:11:28,100 --> 00:11:30,800
Let's get these pads off us.
Check your ranges of motion.

184
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,000
Get him back here.
Pull the shoulder pads off.

185
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,200
Check the range of motion.
Everything looks good.

186
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:35,800
Feel good.
Yep.

187
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:37,500
Let's go.
He's on the sidelines.

188
00:11:37,500 --> 00:11:41,700
Throwing That targeting the
review that took like four and a

189
00:11:41,700 --> 00:11:46,400
half to five minutes.
I think that was big because it

190
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:50,800
got him, they got him back out,
make that touchdown pass and get

191
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,700
the confidence up.
Yep.

192
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,800
Because I mean, at that point,
throwing the ball that had been

193
00:11:56,900 --> 00:12:00,900
definitely Struggle Bus for most
of the entire first quarter

194
00:12:00,900 --> 00:12:03,600
there.
So getting him in a with a throw

195
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,700
that he's comfortable with
getting that touchdown that

196
00:12:06,700 --> 00:12:08,500
definitely got a little
confidence, going back in the

197
00:12:08,500 --> 00:12:09,800
offense.
Oh absolutely.

198
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:14,000
And by the way what needs to be
said is some of his passes you

199
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:18,300
know the downfield stuff isn't
where it needs to be, but the

200
00:12:18,300 --> 00:12:21,700
fade routes especially short
yardage compared to what they

201
00:12:21,700 --> 00:12:24,200
were last year.
When we Psalm they've gotten

202
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,400
significantly better more touch
more accurate.

203
00:12:27,700 --> 00:12:29,600
Yeah.
In that thing for both of those

204
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,500
things are.
So the touch gives the receiver

205
00:12:32,500 --> 00:12:35,000
a chance to be where he needs to
be the accuracy.

206
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,400
Obviously means that when it's
thrown, it's not going to be a

207
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,100
pic and it gives the receiver a
chance to come down with it in

208
00:12:41,100 --> 00:12:44,000
bounds every time.
So that is really big, in my

209
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:49,500
opinion, and it's great to see.
All right, so defense does its

210
00:12:49,500 --> 00:12:55,900
job again and then Tavian
Robinson, absolutely wonderful

211
00:12:55,900 --> 00:13:00,100
punt.
Return flips, the field and

212
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,300
Brian, let me just say this
between Keshawn King and Tavian

213
00:13:03,300 --> 00:13:08,100
Robinson.
Any Royals in the booth today at

214
00:13:08,100 --> 00:13:09,500
Ian's?
Bill here in.

215
00:13:09,500 --> 00:13:15,300
Touchdown, tech gave me chills,
but I think we have two Elite

216
00:13:15,300 --> 00:13:19,000
return men.
In the country, not just in the

217
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,600
ACC in the country, they both
have good Vision, they both have

218
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:26,000
good speed what we saw today,
numerous times.

219
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,200
You know, with a couple good
kick returns and good punt.

220
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:34,700
Return was we flip the field
without having to do too much

221
00:13:34,700 --> 00:13:37,300
just those guys being good.
Yep.

222
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,400
And that's going to be key
because I think that was

223
00:13:40,500 --> 00:13:42,200
definitely something that was
lacking.

224
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:47,300
Especially on the punt side last
year is that they never got

225
00:13:47,300 --> 00:13:50,800
fully comfortable back there.
Had a couple muffs.

226
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,400
We ended up kind of having a
rotating cast of characters as

227
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,300
we close out the year last year
punt.

228
00:13:56,300 --> 00:14:03,100
Return That, that was more of a
mitigating disaster position

229
00:14:03,100 --> 00:14:07,200
than it was about having any
sort of positive impact on our

230
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,700
team.
And I feel like that's

231
00:14:09,700 --> 00:14:12,500
definitely turned into an asset
at least in the early going of

232
00:14:12,508 --> 00:14:14,900
the year so far.
Absolutely, he seemed very

233
00:14:14,900 --> 00:14:17,100
comfortable back there.
He's getting the opportunities

234
00:14:17,100 --> 00:14:22,000
to run, which is really big.
All right?

235
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,400
So that sets up the really good
drive.

236
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,200
BB has that as a really good
scramble.

237
00:14:27,500 --> 00:14:29,800
Which, you know, I'll have to
ask you.

238
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:34,900
Brian, you know.
Yay, or nay.

239
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,400
Did you like him still
scrambling after taking that

240
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,400
pop?
Yeah, because he's got to play

241
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,700
his game.
I don't want to see him change

242
00:14:41,700 --> 00:14:46,500
how he's approaching the playing
the quarterback position, just

243
00:14:46,500 --> 00:14:49,900
because of one big pop now, I do
want to see him, not take

244
00:14:49,900 --> 00:14:52,500
unnecessary hits at the end of
plays.

245
00:14:52,700 --> 00:14:54,800
Okay, so there's a difference
there, right?

246
00:14:55,100 --> 00:14:57,100
Yeah, one is how you're
approaching.

247
00:14:57,300 --> 00:15:00,300
Your mindset in terms of what
you do with the ball, the other

248
00:15:00,300 --> 00:15:02,800
is how you finish the play and
keep yourself safe.

249
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,800
So you can still make those
plays.

250
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,800
And as its closing out, you get
out of bounds when you need to

251
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,200
you slide ahead of the contact.
When you need to, you make a

252
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,000
good slide in that lead with
your head and shoulder, right?

253
00:15:16,300 --> 00:15:18,100
Okay.
Truth of that you may live

254
00:15:18,100 --> 00:15:19,500
slides.
Yeah.

255
00:15:19,500 --> 00:15:21,200
Don't, don't put yourself out
there.

256
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,700
Like you did the first time and
get yourself absolutely killed.

257
00:15:23,700 --> 00:15:26,300
Yeah and I mean it wasn't a
fighting for yardage getting the

258
00:15:26,308 --> 00:15:28,600
first down In.
You had the first day on you

259
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,700
just need to get down safely,
right?

260
00:15:30,700 --> 00:15:32,900
Exactly.
This isn't a John Elway sticking

261
00:15:32,900 --> 00:15:35,500
his neck out there to get the
get the first down.

262
00:15:35,900 --> 00:15:41,500
It's not the Super Bowl, and you
have to continue to drive to go

263
00:15:41,500 --> 00:15:43,900
take the lead or to extend the
lead.

264
00:15:44,100 --> 00:15:47,900
Yep, it's early in the game.
All right, so he gets a good

265
00:15:47,900 --> 00:15:51,900
scramble and we get down inside
the 10 yard line and they bring

266
00:15:51,900 --> 00:15:57,300
in kind of Limerick.
We get ten yards, Bloomberg up

267
00:15:57,300 --> 00:16:02,400
the middle, little little sweet
to Big Stone Gap.

268
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,900
Yep.
He Dives forward, he just misses

269
00:16:04,900 --> 00:16:08,100
it and then we take Connor
blumrich up the middle one more

270
00:16:08,100 --> 00:16:11,700
time pounds it in its
14-nothing.

271
00:16:12,100 --> 00:16:14,400
The return of the wild turkey.
We had a little diamond

272
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,000
formation running on that one.
It was it was a pretty sweet

273
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:21,000
thing to see.
Well simply shows that the the

274
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,000
gears are turning a little bit
there, in terms of at least

275
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,700
getting Connor active in the The
offense because I feel like that

276
00:16:25,700 --> 00:16:27,600
was something that we didn't
really see a whole lot last

277
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,800
week, that's an element.
That's a wrinkle that we showed

278
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:32,400
this week.
We didn't show a lot of wrinkles

279
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,000
on offense.
This week getting Connor,

280
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,300
blumrich involved in the
offense, was one of the few

281
00:16:37,300 --> 00:16:40,200
wrinkles that we did present
this week from.

282
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,600
And we'll talk, we'll talk more
about that in the second half

283
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,000
and I kind of like what we did
in the second half even more

284
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:51,000
than what we did in the first so
that his teacher asked exactly.

285
00:16:51,900 --> 00:16:55,700
But let's, let's, let's just let
me Dress for a second if you

286
00:16:55,700 --> 00:17:00,100
don't mind.
Yeah, go for you had a similar

287
00:17:00,100 --> 00:17:08,000
guy, the last who years on this
team, that you did not do these

288
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:13,500
things with coaching staff and
now he's out at North Dakota

289
00:17:13,500 --> 00:17:19,300
State so if anything I get more
irritated because me and you

290
00:17:19,300 --> 00:17:23,800
call we were calling for like
get Quincy, some packages like

291
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:24,500
this.
This.

292
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:30,200
Yep, some packages like this
because if nothing else it takes

293
00:17:30,500 --> 00:17:33,500
it makes them see something
different on goal-line situation

294
00:17:33,500 --> 00:17:37,800
and you know, eventually with
especially when you throw in

295
00:17:37,808 --> 00:17:40,600
those phases, like actually gets
into State visually, they're

296
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,500
going to sell out and there's
going to be just an easy slant

297
00:17:43,500 --> 00:17:47,500
or easy fade route.
So I'm done digressing about

298
00:17:47,500 --> 00:17:51,100
that because we have a similar
guy that could do the same

299
00:17:51,100 --> 00:17:52,600
things and you chose not to do
it.

300
00:17:52,900 --> 00:17:54,800
Shout out qp4 tearing it up
today.

301
00:17:55,300 --> 00:17:57,900
Oh, did he good day?
Yeah, good day.

302
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,200
Good day for him.
Nice.

303
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,900
Alright, let's jump back.
Look at the defense again.

304
00:18:04,900 --> 00:18:10,000
You know.
After kind of what happens,

305
00:18:10,100 --> 00:18:13,700
really great start.
We start to see some old Ryan.

306
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,100
What did you specifically see
that kind of, you know, when

307
00:18:17,100 --> 00:18:20,900
they gave up the touchdown on
that long drive?

308
00:18:22,500 --> 00:18:28,200
I saw a lot of off coverage
Corners play in about eight

309
00:18:28,500 --> 00:18:33,000
eight to ten off the receivers.
They were mixing in some covers

310
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,800
six and looks like Middle.
Tennessee was consistently

311
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:41,600
attacking the half-filled side
of that coverage behind the

312
00:18:41,608 --> 00:18:44,100
corner in front of the safety
Corner.

313
00:18:44,100 --> 00:18:49,000
Routes little kind of will
sluggos things like that where

314
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,700
the can get the wall then behind
the corner back.

315
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,600
Back and linebacker didn't have
enough time to get over to make

316
00:18:55,600 --> 00:19:00,000
the coverage there.
And it happened on key downs.

317
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,800
And I think that was what it was
more frustrating.

318
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,400
Is that, you know, we have, we
have good to you first down

319
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:09,800
second down, they'd be either
third and five or more.

320
00:19:10,500 --> 00:19:11,900
And then they would just keep
running.

321
00:19:11,900 --> 00:19:16,200
Kind of the same route Concepts
that kept kind of working in the

322
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,800
same areas of the defense.
And There was a moment where it

323
00:19:19,808 --> 00:19:22,100
looked like Armani.
Chapman was a little frustrated

324
00:19:22,100 --> 00:19:24,000
with, with kind of those
Concepts.

325
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,000
Had a little, little little back
and forth.

326
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,900
There with J Hamm or someone on
the sidelines.

327
00:19:30,500 --> 00:19:33,400
And, you know, we kind of wrote
out the rest of that drive like

328
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,000
that.
They ended up getting a

329
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:36,600
touchdown.
It was a close play.

330
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:40,700
We're about an inch and a half
from that being kind of a yeah,

331
00:19:40,700 --> 00:19:43,300
Linda incomplete pass.
It was called incomplete on the

332
00:19:43,300 --> 00:19:45,000
field.
He got that right foot down,

333
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,500
just as he kind of secured the
ball and then, you know, the

334
00:19:48,700 --> 00:19:53,500
Left foot came down out and
little bit of wind out of the

335
00:19:53,500 --> 00:19:56,100
sails there.
Just because you know when when

336
00:19:56,100 --> 00:19:59,800
we got the ball back, didn't do
anything with it.

337
00:20:00,100 --> 00:20:01,900
Yeah, I think that was the more
frustrating thing.

338
00:20:02,300 --> 00:20:05,800
Well, that three-and-out drive
was frustrating in a lot of ways

339
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:12,100
because it was the first time we
kind of purposely took shots.

340
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:14,400
Down the field.
Right?

341
00:20:14,500 --> 00:20:17,100
Purposely took shots.
Yeah, and I know there was

342
00:20:17,100 --> 00:20:19,900
actually a sense of urgency.
It was a one score game.

343
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,000
We were getting late in the Hat,
the first half.

344
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,100
So they're actually feels like,
okay, we're it's not just early

345
00:20:25,100 --> 00:20:28,400
going anymore.
We're almost in the end of the

346
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,800
first half and they're still in
this thing, right?

347
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,600
Exactly.
And I think you mentioned

348
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:39,000
something to me.
Um, when we talked about 5:00

349
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:44,500
today you've said, that is the
first place you should have

350
00:20:44,500 --> 00:20:45,800
seen.
Like, this is how we should have

351
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:51,100
came out immediately roll MVP,
get a few yards and then attack

352
00:20:51,100 --> 00:20:54,800
them because they're clearly
they're clearly song sinking in.

353
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,700
Here's why?
Yeah, I would like to see, you

354
00:20:57,700 --> 00:20:59,600
know, shots down the field like
that because I mean, there were

355
00:20:59,608 --> 00:21:02,900
a couple plays where we were
running verticals across the

356
00:21:02,900 --> 00:21:05,000
board.
We didn't see a whole lot of

357
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:09,800
Those Outlet routes with
Blackshear where he was kind of

358
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,900
the guy underneath that if it
wasn't there.

359
00:21:13,500 --> 00:21:14,900
There was someone to drop it off
to.

360
00:21:14,900 --> 00:21:19,100
We saw one time where they rob
was targeted, but it was clearly

361
00:21:19,100 --> 00:21:21,700
Braxton was just getting rid of
the ball out of nice to seem,

362
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,300
you know, some sort of Outlet
route to, you know, get it into

363
00:21:25,300 --> 00:21:27,300
Blackshear.
Maybe get five or six yards.

364
00:21:27,300 --> 00:21:29,500
See if he can break a tackle and
get a first down.

365
00:21:29,900 --> 00:21:32,600
Yeah.
And I'd like to see more levels

366
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,700
to the concepts here.
We're here.

367
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:39,300
We're not necessarily running
for guys deep and there's

368
00:21:39,300 --> 00:21:42,900
there's no Outlet.
You know, run Too Deep.

369
00:21:42,900 --> 00:21:46,900
Run Run something whipped up the
seam run one guy on the outside

370
00:21:46,900 --> 00:21:51,900
deep and then you know maybe
work in a dig or or a some sort

371
00:21:51,900 --> 00:21:56,300
of like play in the flats just
to get get the ball out of

372
00:21:56,300 --> 00:22:01,000
nothing's working for you.
I don't like these Concepts

373
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,100
where we're just running for
deep and there's, there's no

374
00:22:03,100 --> 00:22:05,900
really other option than either
thrown it Deeper throwing it out

375
00:22:05,900 --> 00:22:07,600
of bounds.
Exactly.

376
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,800
And I think the big piece on you
do that sort of concept is, we

377
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,100
know how risk-adverse that
they're teaching the

378
00:22:13,100 --> 00:22:15,500
quarterbacks to be about not
turning the ball over.

379
00:22:15,900 --> 00:22:17,500
Yep.
Well, you're running these

380
00:22:17,500 --> 00:22:23,100
Concepts that essentially, that
essentially, you're teaching

381
00:22:23,100 --> 00:22:25,700
them to be risk adverse and
you're giving very high-risk

382
00:22:25,700 --> 00:22:31,300
Concepts versus, and we have
guys that can do it, right?

383
00:22:31,300 --> 00:22:33,200
I think this is probably what
frustrates us more than

384
00:22:33,208 --> 00:22:38,800
anything. versus running
Blackshear or Holston, or Big

385
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,200
Stone Gap, or any of those guys
putting them out just in the

386
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:48,800
flats or having them hook up 325
yards downfield, because if

387
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,000
someone blows coverage and
forgets about those guys and

388
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:56,900
you're able to make that dump
down, You're running guys. 20 30

389
00:22:56,900 --> 00:23:00,600
yards off.
Yeah there's going to be a if

390
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:05,300
the guy doesn't make the initial
tackle there is going to be that

391
00:23:05,300 --> 00:23:07,200
right there in front of those
guys.

392
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:13,400
Yeah so did I mean like I said
we're looking at Kind of what we

393
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,500
did.
I'm a I'm definitely looking at

394
00:23:15,500 --> 00:23:18,700
it and say, okay, well, they
went full vanilla in this game

395
00:23:19,300 --> 00:23:22,100
that was that was by Design By
Design.

396
00:23:22,100 --> 00:23:24,100
They weren't going to do
anything.

397
00:23:24,100 --> 00:23:27,900
Yeah well I mean look at look at
the UNC taping and look at this

398
00:23:27,900 --> 00:23:31,200
tape.
The concepts are significantly

399
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:38,700
less unique less inventive.
There was not the only zero

400
00:23:38,700 --> 00:23:42,500
Throwbacks.
I mean there was yet another

401
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,100
There was none of that.
So keep that in mind.

402
00:23:48,100 --> 00:23:52,900
When you're evaluating, what
this offense did today by no

403
00:23:52,900 --> 00:23:55,000
means, am I happy with the
outcome?

404
00:23:55,000 --> 00:24:00,300
But at the same time, I
recognize that by Design, this

405
00:24:00,300 --> 00:24:02,700
was supposed to be vanilla.
The only difference is Middle

406
00:24:02,700 --> 00:24:04,600
Tennessee.
Did a fairly decent job of

407
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,900
stopping vanilla?
Exactly, by the way, folks, if

408
00:24:07,900 --> 00:24:12,300
you see me and Brian's head or
eyes move, We're watching Pac-12

409
00:24:12,300 --> 00:24:15,900
after dark.
We made some things on these

410
00:24:15,900 --> 00:24:20,500
games.
So and that's why we just run

411
00:24:20,500 --> 00:24:23,100
this live right now, we're going
to be up anyway, watching the

412
00:24:23,100 --> 00:24:26,100
late night games and, you know,
showing our love for college

413
00:24:26,100 --> 00:24:28,900
football.
So you'll see our eyes move

414
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,700
pivot on slovis, just slid
perfectly and then he did a

415
00:24:32,700 --> 00:24:36,400
Braxton slide across straight
anymore.

416
00:24:37,100 --> 00:24:40,300
If Braxton did that, like
perfectly slide and then the

417
00:24:40,300 --> 00:24:43,800
next one, Look like an awkward
draft going down.

418
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,500
All right, so burn.
One more thing before we hit a

419
00:24:47,508 --> 00:24:52,100
break here under 90 seconds,
left the balls at like the 4

420
00:24:52,100 --> 00:24:54,300
yard line.
We finally, get aggressive.

421
00:24:55,700 --> 00:24:58,000
Tell me your frustration would
happen.

422
00:24:59,900 --> 00:25:02,300
So I'm not frustrating that we
did it in this game.

423
00:25:02,300 --> 00:25:08,000
I'm frustrated that we did it in
this game, with 116 left inside,

424
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:13,100
our own 10-yard line, starting
the Artie, the drive when we

425
00:25:13,100 --> 00:25:16,300
didn't do that against UNC with
more time and better field

426
00:25:16,300 --> 00:25:21,000
position.
Can you explain that?

427
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:25,900
That's in that that's that's
that's my beef, you know, I get

428
00:25:25,900 --> 00:25:31,200
that I'll say this.
We needed to show after the the

429
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,100
couple drives we had before that
that we could still move the

430
00:25:34,100 --> 00:25:38,500
ball consistently against that
defense just to just to mental.

431
00:25:39,500 --> 00:25:42,700
So I think some of that played a
role, okay?

432
00:25:42,700 --> 00:25:45,800
But at the same time just I mean
if you're going to be

433
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:50,800
conservative or aggressive,
situationally I would prefer it

434
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:56,600
to be a little more predictable
and I'm not saying predictable

435
00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:00,600
from a, you know, the It says
it's coming to but you know.

436
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,100
If you're going to be aggressive
in those situations, be

437
00:26:04,100 --> 00:26:08,800
aggressive or, no, but it's kind
of, it was kind of weird that,

438
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:10,600
you know, you get different
treatment here.

439
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:15,300
I get there's less Stakes here.
So, yeah, it's 14-7.

440
00:26:15,500 --> 00:26:20,100
It's, you know, we have seen,
you have the same roughly, the

441
00:26:20,100 --> 00:26:23,400
same lead, right?
But you're playing a lesser what

442
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,800
you consider a lesser opponents.
So you feel like the stakes are

443
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:29,300
lower right Stakes, a little you
feel like if you make a mistake

444
00:26:29,300 --> 00:26:31,400
they're not going to take
advantage of it especially way

445
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:35,800
that Consider played the 85
percent of the first quarter so

446
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,600
get it completely.
All right guys before we do get

447
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:44,700
into the second half, we are
going to take a quick pause for

448
00:26:44,700 --> 00:26:46,300
a message from our digital
Partners.

449
00:26:46,500 --> 00:26:49,700
All right, Brian.
Let's start second half and

450
00:26:49,700 --> 00:26:52,700
Middle.
Tennessee, State comes out and

451
00:26:52,700 --> 00:26:56,800
probably has their second best
Drive of the game to open it up,

452
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:03,000
you know, and what they showed.
And I hope that JC price and

453
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:10,200
Bill Care on it.
Sorry to be the throw you off

454
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,000
there so that's all two
questions.

455
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:14,700
Come up they want to write real
quick.

456
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:19,000
Yeah, so so meals asking that,
you know, if our passing game is

457
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,500
based on smoking mirrors and
misdirection, you know, why do

458
00:27:22,500 --> 00:27:24,700
we side decide to go vanilla
against anyone?

459
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,600
I think I mean, you got West
Virginia, your, you got a big

460
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,700
game coming up.
Maybe they don't want to put

461
00:27:30,700 --> 00:27:33,700
some of the stuff on tape, but
my beef, but that is that, you

462
00:27:33,700 --> 00:27:35,600
already put some of it on tape
against you and see.

463
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:39,600
I'd rather you throw the kitchen
sink out There and make West

464
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,800
Virginia have to pick and choose
how they're going to prepare

465
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,500
against you.
Then go full vanilla, but you

466
00:27:44,500 --> 00:27:47,700
still got some tape from you and
see that they can fall back on.

467
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,900
That's a good point.
I'll let you continue into the

468
00:27:51,900 --> 00:27:54,200
second half, sir.
Well, I'm gonna I'm gonna just

469
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,500
follow up on that and makes it
makes perfect sense, right?

470
00:27:57,300 --> 00:27:59,400
Like it makes perfect sense.
You've already shown it.

471
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:03,100
Why not continue to let the guys
execute the plays on the field

472
00:28:03,100 --> 00:28:07,600
against live competition again.
I think you said it before,

473
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:13,100
sometimes this coaching staff
outsmarts themselves and it gets

474
00:28:13,100 --> 00:28:17,200
us in trouble.
I think the game today throwback

475
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,800
to everybody, 2019, the game
today could have been firming

476
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:25,100
back in 2019.
It could have yet, but I think

477
00:28:25,100 --> 00:28:31,300
we are have a much much better
leadership group.

478
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:39,500
Between guys like Brock lettuce,
Shamari Connor Dax Jordan

479
00:28:39,500 --> 00:28:42,600
Williams.
And some in Jermaine Waller, you

480
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:46,900
have more guys who can hold
everybody together, where things

481
00:28:46,900 --> 00:28:49,000
like that, things weren't going,
right.

482
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,100
It was just like, what do we do?
What do we do?

483
00:28:51,100 --> 00:28:54,400
What do we do?
And it wasn't good.

484
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:59,500
Yeah, leadership wise, this is
closer to the the 2016 and 17

485
00:28:59,500 --> 00:29:03,100
edition of the Hokies and
hopefully Carries forward and

486
00:29:03,100 --> 00:29:06,700
games like this where we aren't
quite fired on all cylinders.

487
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,300
We've got that leadership to
fall back on where we don't let

488
00:29:10,900 --> 00:29:14,700
you know, a couple of - plays
whether offense or defense turn

489
00:29:14,700 --> 00:29:18,800
into two or three touchdowns
that end up costing us the game.

490
00:29:19,300 --> 00:29:21,500
Exactly.
All right.

491
00:29:21,500 --> 00:29:25,200
So now let's go to Middle
Tennessee State out of the half,

492
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:30,200
as I've said, a couple minutes
ago, had a really good drive to

493
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,100
come out of the half and kind of
show something.

494
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:37,200
I hope built to your neck and
that I hope JC price are showing

495
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:40,300
the defensive line.
The big play on that drive.

496
00:29:40,300 --> 00:29:43,300
Was a little throwback screen
essentially, taking a girl,

497
00:29:44,500 --> 00:29:47,300
taking advantage of their
aggressiveness on the of on the

498
00:29:47,300 --> 00:29:50,300
defensive line Brian.
I know it was Middle Tennessee,

499
00:29:50,300 --> 00:29:51,600
State.
But I know.

500
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:53,700
Please like that or things as an
offensive.

501
00:29:53,700 --> 00:29:55,600
Lineman you love and offensive
guy.

502
00:29:55,600 --> 00:30:00,200
You love ya.
And I mean the concept was

503
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,100
great.
I saw it coming before it.

504
00:30:02,300 --> 00:30:07,500
Then I was like they gave a
completely free rush to Bar

505
00:30:07,500 --> 00:30:12,200
know, something's coming, that's
not by Design and then it all of

506
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:13,500
a sudden you see the guy come
out.

507
00:30:13,500 --> 00:30:19,700
The other side of the, the
formation you see the the

508
00:30:19,700 --> 00:30:23,800
throwback from Hockman over
there to him and ended up being

509
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:28,000
what about 35, yard gain?
I think on that play huge game,

510
00:30:28,100 --> 00:30:32,000
I mean really huge gain.
And, you know, luckily, we they

511
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:36,600
Get down to about the 30.
And, you know, instead of going

512
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:42,100
for it, regardless of down and
distance, they chose to punt and

513
00:30:42,100 --> 00:30:47,600
they pinned us deep and, and I'm
not saying, I mean, it's 14-7 so

514
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:51,800
you get it.
But I also, why is it not in the

515
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:55,400
back of their mind?
We scored one time on them.

516
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,500
We had to go out of our normal
pattern, to score a touchdown.

517
00:30:59,700 --> 00:31:01,100
Every other time, we touch the
ball.

518
00:31:01,100 --> 00:31:06,100
We did a little To nothing.
Why aren't we taking advantage

519
00:31:06,700 --> 00:31:09,400
of this?
But you essentially think they

520
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,400
might be an empty the clip mode,
right?

521
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,800
Exactly.
I would be you would think you

522
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,800
would think given the scenario
you're in how close the score

523
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:20,600
is, you empty the clip but they
did and they did and they

524
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:24,600
decided to play it conservative.
They thought their defense could

525
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:29,300
could keep them around and our
offense came out a little bit

526
00:31:29,300 --> 00:31:31,900
more Mojo in the second half.
Yes they did.

527
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:36,900
Typically it started with, I
know we talked we broke it down

528
00:31:36,900 --> 00:31:38,900
a little bit, they broke it
down, really good.

529
00:31:38,900 --> 00:31:44,300
Actually in the the broadcast,
the trade, the big ball to trade

530
00:31:44,300 --> 00:31:49,600
that kind of set up everything
there looks like, Blankenship

531
00:31:50,100 --> 00:31:52,900
decided he was going to kind of
free wheel a little bit.

532
00:31:52,900 --> 00:31:56,100
He wanted to jump under the
route, gave a signal to the

533
00:31:56,100 --> 00:31:58,000
safety safety.
Didn't quite get it.

534
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:02,100
Thought he had inside leverage
inside held here.

535
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:06,400
If not Trey had a free release
up, the seam ball was a little

536
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:10,800
under thrown a little.
If it was a perfect ball tree,

537
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:15,000
probably walks in it wasn't but
I will take an under throw over

538
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:20,500
and over, throw anybody that saw
the Tennessee first half can

539
00:32:20,500 --> 00:32:24,600
definitely understand exactly
what I'm talking about.

540
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,700
And it wasn't just the one wide
open one, but it was several

541
00:32:28,700 --> 00:32:32,100
others that were overthrown.
There were five.

542
00:32:32,300 --> 00:32:36,400
I've over throws.
We're like, What was completely

543
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,700
wide open, which was terrible.
Two of the other three.

544
00:32:39,700 --> 00:32:43,800
If he'd, even under thrown a
little bit, they have a chance

545
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:48,100
to catch the ball, if at worse,
it's a pi.

546
00:32:48,700 --> 00:32:51,900
Yeah, at least in this
situation, the way I think.

547
00:32:51,900 --> 00:32:54,500
The way we talked about it felt
about bronze this, okay?

548
00:32:56,100 --> 00:32:58,400
If there's tight coverage, you
must overthrow.

549
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,600
You must you just have to.
It's the safest place.

550
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:03,500
The guy gets there and catches
it wonderful.

551
00:33:04,300 --> 00:33:08,400
In this case would be be.
Looked there was no one there.

552
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,200
Okay to under throw that.
Yep.

553
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,600
Okay, what I'll do?
I want to see you hit in stride?

554
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:15,800
Absolutely.
Yes.

555
00:33:16,300 --> 00:33:18,400
Absolutely.
Because you hit him in-stride.

556
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,300
It makes every single defender
on that side of the ball

557
00:33:22,300 --> 00:33:23,800
especially in the secondary
safety.

558
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:27,300
We've got to stay further back
which What we do opens it up

559
00:33:27,300 --> 00:33:32,100
more as beautiful as that was
the play that scored the

560
00:33:32,108 --> 00:33:37,100
touchdown on this drive.
Brian had Jalen Holston looking

561
00:33:37,100 --> 00:33:41,000
like Khalid, oh Herbert with
that cut because that cut was

562
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,500
nasty, that was the best cut of
Jalen holsten's career.

563
00:33:44,500 --> 00:33:50,200
That I've seen foot in the dirt
and kind of weaved between two

564
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:54,500
Defenders that were engaged in a
block and then boom up the

565
00:33:54,508 --> 00:33:57,700
field.
Early 90s as your shirt says.

566
00:33:57,700 --> 00:33:59,800
They're nothing but clean
Mountain Air.

567
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,800
Oh yeah, number clean Mountain,
Air touchdown.

568
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,800
And in right there it's 28 the
game's over.

569
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:12,300
Effectively, right there.
The game is over.

570
00:34:12,699 --> 00:34:17,000
We put enough distance from you
want me to be 17, the games, get

571
00:34:17,100 --> 00:34:20,400
it 21-7, the game's over because
they're already plane surrender

572
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,900
COBRA.
They can't hit their deep shots

573
00:34:22,900 --> 00:34:25,500
to get touchdowns.
They're getting deep shots just

574
00:34:25,500 --> 00:34:33,300
to move the ball and The defense
after that initial open drive

575
00:34:33,699 --> 00:34:37,000
timed up a little bit.
Brian defense started playing a

576
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,500
little bit closer to the line of
scrimmage at the cornerback

577
00:34:39,500 --> 00:34:43,800
position.
And there was less room for

578
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:47,500
those guys to kind of get to
their spot in their routes in

579
00:34:47,500 --> 00:34:50,800
the slower, they get to their
spot, the more the defense can

580
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,900
react in that zone coverage.
Right.

581
00:34:53,300 --> 00:34:55,400
True.
But do you like it that we're

582
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:59,300
playing that we were essentially
giving them some easier?

583
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:00,200
Rose.
Do you like that?

584
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:04,400
We're playing that cover six
that soft quarters in a 21-7

585
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,000
game because games it's not over
quite yet.

586
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:08,600
But you feel like we have
control.

587
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,800
Well, that means the reason I
like it is because what happens

588
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:15,600
next?
What we sow Waller in a good

589
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:19,700
position, laughter cuts the
route, he knows he's got help

590
00:35:19,700 --> 00:35:24,000
behind him and all of a sudden,
you know, gets the pick runs it

591
00:35:24,008 --> 00:35:28,300
back for about 25 yards.
We're sitting pretty again,

592
00:35:28,300 --> 00:35:30,200
right?
We're ready to punch it in one

593
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:31,700
more time.
We are.

594
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,200
So, I think what you're trying
to, what you're kind of saying

595
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,600
here is two score lead, you're
doing this.

596
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,000
Eventually, they're going to get
to a point when we're sending

597
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,400
these zones, there's going to be
no free run because there's

598
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:46,900
going to be no where to go.
And essentially, and I mean, I

599
00:35:46,900 --> 00:35:49,900
think we do need to do a better
job of mixing up coverages and

600
00:35:50,100 --> 00:35:52,100
key Downs.
Like, third, and five, third,

601
00:35:52,100 --> 00:35:54,600
and six.
I mean, we can't be playing 89

602
00:35:54,600 --> 00:36:00,300
yards off the ball.
You know, we're inviting first

603
00:36:00,300 --> 00:36:02,800
downs.
You're in blindly saying, you've

604
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:07,900
got to react exactly right to
stop the first down, right.

605
00:36:07,900 --> 00:36:09,100
All right.
Okay.

606
00:36:09,100 --> 00:36:11,500
So we meet, we need to.
I think we need to mix it up

607
00:36:11,500 --> 00:36:16,800
again, but I think Even looking
at the defense, the calls were

608
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:20,000
vanilla tonight.
There was a couple Zone Blitz is

609
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:25,100
here and there, but there was
nothing that was put on tape.

610
00:36:25,100 --> 00:36:28,800
That said, okay, I mean we
didn't see the stunts that we

611
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,300
saw against you and see we
didn't see any of that stuff.

612
00:36:31,500 --> 00:36:37,100
Now, we saw big very basic in,
you know, I'll go later on into

613
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,100
how they ran the ball which
wasn't very well.

614
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:44,000
So your main intercepts ball.
We're on the right side of the

615
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:48,500
field after his interception.
And then, you know what?

616
00:36:48,500 --> 00:36:56,100
We have next goes on.
It was b.

617
00:36:56,100 --> 00:36:57,300
B's.
Big scramble.

618
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:00,500
And then like you did a good
job.

619
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,300
So he stepped up.
He saw that, it wasn't their

620
00:37:03,700 --> 00:37:07,900
took off up, the feel made, a
couple guys miss and that was a

621
00:37:07,908 --> 00:37:10,200
big run.
And then, you know, Blackshear

622
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:14,100
kind of took over the back half
of that, that drive had a good

623
00:37:14,100 --> 00:37:17,400
run that said set us up in the
the Red Zone, then closed it

624
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:21,100
out.
So it was it was really probably

625
00:37:21,100 --> 00:37:24,200
the in terms of fluidity kind of
the most fluid drive.

626
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:28,200
We had it was it was one of
those quick quick.

627
00:37:28,300 --> 00:37:30,700
Punches there.
And at that point, you kind of

628
00:37:30,707 --> 00:37:35,200
felt like, all right, this this
this game has been put in hand.

629
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,100
We're comfortable again.
We're doing what we want to do

630
00:37:38,100 --> 00:37:42,800
on offense for shutting them
down on defense a little bit you

631
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:44,300
kind of felt good about where it
was heading.

632
00:37:44,300 --> 00:37:48,800
There still would like to see
the offense be a little more

633
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:52,400
consistent with some of their
plays because we kind of got got

634
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:56,100
back into some of that later in
the game.

635
00:37:56,100 --> 00:38:00,400
But overall I'm happy With, with
the way the second half went off

636
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:04,300
fensively.
Well, let me ask you this Raheem

637
00:38:04,300 --> 00:38:09,000
Blackshear, you know, ten
Russia's. 53-yard didn't see

638
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,700
much in the past game tonight.
How did you feel about his day

639
00:38:12,700 --> 00:38:15,800
in general day in general?
Really good anytime.

640
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:19,200
He's over five yards, a carry is
a good good game for him.

641
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,300
I like that.
He had ten carries, I'd like to

642
00:38:23,300 --> 00:38:24,700
see him.
Get about ten carries every

643
00:38:24,700 --> 00:38:27,700
game.
I'd like to see him used a lot

644
00:38:27,700 --> 00:38:29,800
more than the One catch for five
yards.

645
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,600
He needs to at least get five
targets a game.

646
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:37,700
Minimum are you?
Are you still?

647
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,500
I guess now it is what it is.
Like we're not going to see him

648
00:38:42,500 --> 00:38:44,400
come out of diamond.
We're not going to see Colston

649
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,400
him on the field the same time
yet.

650
00:38:46,700 --> 00:38:50,400
Maybe maybe maybe that's in the
cards for the next game.

651
00:38:51,500 --> 00:38:55,100
That's something they've never
seen but it still feels like

652
00:38:55,100 --> 00:38:57,900
we're not last week.
It felt like we took advantage

653
00:38:57,900 --> 00:39:01,900
of his whole arsenal today.
Again with the vanilla game plan

654
00:39:02,500 --> 00:39:07,400
you don't and I don't like that
because of this, you're going to

655
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:12,200
play another team.
If you take away the actual live

656
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:15,300
situations where he's running
the wheels or the flats, or you

657
00:39:15,300 --> 00:39:18,900
run some screens to him or doing
some other things to him, all

658
00:39:18,900 --> 00:39:21,400
you have ever done, is put him
in the Situation's behind

659
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:26,000
practice, not live games and we
start up with that.

660
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,500
You let them do it in a live
game.

661
00:39:28,700 --> 00:39:34,500
You saw him get 60 plus
receiving guards against you and

662
00:39:35,300 --> 00:39:39,000
I'm with you, I would like to
see him get more opportunities

663
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:42,200
in any.
A game, because any game against

664
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:45,200
live competition, is better than
any simulation in practice,

665
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:46,300
right?
Woohoo.

666
00:39:46,900 --> 00:39:50,600
So that's what I would prefer to
see is, is a little bit more.

667
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:52,900
You don't have to, you don't
have to show anything you

668
00:39:52,900 --> 00:39:55,100
haven't already shown on tape,
but you need to, at least keep

669
00:39:55,100 --> 00:39:57,200
that those elements in your
offense, right?

670
00:39:57,500 --> 00:39:59,800
Yes.
But you've already shown against

671
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:01,300
you and see.
It's already on tape against a

672
00:40:01,308 --> 00:40:03,700
quality opponent one, similar
plays.

673
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,200
Yeah.
We run the same thing.

674
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:12,200
But but again it's I think this
is why the why we always are

675
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:17,600
critical of the offensive staff,
is because some of these designs

676
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:20,400
are just like, you can show this
30 times.

677
00:40:20,900 --> 00:40:24,000
Yeah.
And, and you can even say it

678
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:25,900
again.
Look how he was schemed open

679
00:40:25,900 --> 00:40:30,300
last week.
Screaming somebody open is going

680
00:40:30,300 --> 00:40:33,500
to consistently happen because
the second that they decide to

681
00:40:33,508 --> 00:40:35,800
move that linebacker to the
flats, what you're doing is,

682
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:37,900
you're opening up a slant route.
Yeah.

683
00:40:38,300 --> 00:40:40,400
And you're open up the slant
route, where if that Defender

684
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,200
doesn't play perfectly and he
puts it on the mate, on the

685
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:47,600
money to tray or Tay and that
other linebacker, you know, the

686
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:49,500
weak side linebacker is out of
place.

687
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,500
It's gonna be the strong safety
or the free safety style to come

688
00:40:52,500 --> 00:40:54,700
down and take him out.
And if they don't take him out,

689
00:40:54,700 --> 00:40:57,100
it's are.
So it's like why are you

690
00:40:57,100 --> 00:41:01,900
outsmarting yourself?
Yeah, like I said and you know,

691
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:05,000
they made a point there with
when Neal brought it in there.

692
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,600
A lot of what we do is
misdirection a lot of what we do

693
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:11,800
is getting our Playmakers in
space so they can make guys

694
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:13,400
miss.
When you take away those

695
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:17,100
elements, our offense is very
pedestrian because we don't

696
00:41:17,300 --> 00:41:21,300
we're not a especially this year
coming off of last year.

697
00:41:21,300 --> 00:41:25,400
We're not a just line up and run
it down your throat offense this

698
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:27,800
year.
That's not that's not our game.

699
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:33,400
And when you go vanilla and you
don't have that, it shows real

700
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,500
quick and I think that's what we
saw in this game.

701
00:41:35,700 --> 00:41:39,400
True we have a more diverse
offense than we did last year we

702
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:42,200
don't have quite maybe the Home
Run potential because of the way

703
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:46,100
Khalil Herbert could run yep we
have a more diverse offense to

704
00:41:46,100 --> 00:41:48,400
get the ball down.
The field in numerous ways which

705
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:50,100
we need to take full advantage
of.

706
00:41:50,100 --> 00:41:51,900
We need to be better at
matriculating.

707
00:41:52,100 --> 00:41:54,700
Like I like big plays as much as
anybody else.

708
00:41:54,700 --> 00:41:56,500
I like the excitement of a big
play.

709
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:59,600
I don't think this offense is
going to be an Exciting offense

710
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:02,700
to watch but I think it could be
a very efficient offense.

711
00:42:03,300 --> 00:42:07,100
If we do the things that we're
talking about nature, all right?

712
00:42:07,100 --> 00:42:13,300
Brian, let's go last Drive Unit.
A Robinson to get some big 26.

713
00:42:13,300 --> 00:42:21,900
Yard haul sets up Connor.
Blumrich coming in 30-yard run.

714
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:27,600
I think kind of Boomer might be
officially part of this offense

715
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:30,200
in packages.
Now, after we see him multiple

716
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:34,300
times today not seeing him last
week and then black sheer caps

717
00:42:34,300 --> 00:42:38,600
it in with the second touchdown
of the day, you know?

718
00:42:41,100 --> 00:42:45,200
It's 28-7, the game's over.
It's just another good drive to

719
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:50,200
get people feeling good.
That baby's actually 35 35 7.

720
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:53,400
At that point.
Yep 30,000 that made it 35 7.

721
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:56,600
Yep.
So long I'm looking up here.

722
00:42:57,700 --> 00:43:01,200
Stanford just should request to
open with USC every year.

723
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:13,000
Ha ha ha.
I mean we definitely on the

724
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:16,800
wrong side of that one stand up
for USC.

725
00:43:17,700 --> 00:43:20,200
All right, let's move on Braun
Soca.

726
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:24,100
So let's talk about Connor there
because Connor got in their HVAC

727
00:43:24,100 --> 00:43:26,000
sweet.
Took it to the one yard line.

728
00:43:26,500 --> 00:43:28,700
Things like that or what we
talked about, we thought Connor

729
00:43:28,700 --> 00:43:33,000
might end up doing in this
offense outside of, you know,

730
00:43:33,500 --> 00:43:37,200
the short Yardage heavy, backset
like the wild turkey that that

731
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:41,300
type of formation.
And that's what you that what we

732
00:43:41,300 --> 00:43:43,000
want to see.
I mean he is an athletic player,

733
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:47,500
he is a little bit more of a
athlete than kind of the other

734
00:43:47,500 --> 00:43:50,600
guys on the, on the line there,
except me and Mitchell.

735
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:54,100
Maybe the one exception that has
that degree of athleticism.

736
00:43:54,100 --> 00:43:57,400
I don't think she quite has the
top end that when we're at, can

737
00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:02,900
get to and he's designed to be a
little bit more Shifty because

738
00:44:02,900 --> 00:44:07,200
he has played that quarter.
Position has played HVAC for am

739
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:10,700
before.
So getting him involved is going

740
00:44:10,700 --> 00:44:11,800
to be good.
I like that.

741
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:15,100
We at least saw what he could do
even though we didn't see him

742
00:44:15,100 --> 00:44:20,200
throw the ball and I like that
knocks got a couple drives there

743
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,900
at the end.
I know we kind of we've wrapped

744
00:44:22,900 --> 00:44:26,400
up the scoring here, but but not
just got out there again after

745
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:29,200
having that, you know, half a
drive.

746
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:33,900
When Braxton went down, he got
two more drives late, yashoda,

747
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:37,300
Again that he's capable of
getting the ball down the field,

748
00:44:37,300 --> 00:44:39,800
a little bit, showed a little
bit of his laugh.

749
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:43,700
Lettuce is, mm.
Yeah, yeah, I'm thinking he

750
00:44:43,700 --> 00:44:45,800
doesn't have, you know, he
doesn't have Braxton level

751
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:49,100
athleticism but he can, you
know, make a guy Miss and get a

752
00:44:49,100 --> 00:44:52,200
first down when he needs to.
Yeah, he's one of those own

753
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:55,000
schedule, guys.
You know you think about where

754
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:57,300
he played down in Georgia, that
was the Trevor Lawrence

755
00:44:57,300 --> 00:44:59,500
Division.
And he was like right on the

756
00:44:59,500 --> 00:45:01,600
heels and then they won the
State title the year after

757
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:04,500
trailer went.
So obviously he Was from a

758
00:45:04,508 --> 00:45:10,100
really good football background,
but I think just the the kind of

759
00:45:10,100 --> 00:45:13,800
the end of the fourth quarter.
You had some younger offensive

760
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:16,600
guys, get out there.
You had younger defensive guys,

761
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:18,800
get out there.
We talked about needing to look

762
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:23,200
at the depth that happened.
I wish it would have happened.

763
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:27,300
More myth third, not worn to the
fourth but that is what it is

764
00:45:27,300 --> 00:45:29,600
because of our digressions in
the first half.

765
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:33,100
So yep.
Brian you let them hang around

766
00:45:33,100 --> 00:45:36,200
for too long to Ali.
Get any substituent snaps out

767
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:40,400
there but it was nice to get
something there at the end.

768
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:43,200
Even though it was the garbage
time was a lot more protracted

769
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:48,200
than we wanted it to be.
Yeah, 100% run.

770
00:45:49,300 --> 00:45:53,300
Now Brian before you know we
close what that final thoughts

771
00:45:53,300 --> 00:45:58,400
here.
Yesterday because it is nine 12

772
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:04,700
mil yesterday was 9/11 in the
20th anniversary and it's it's

773
00:46:04,700 --> 00:46:08,400
probably the honest truth Brian
in our lifetimes.

774
00:46:09,300 --> 00:46:14,200
It is probably the most
earth-changing life-changing

775
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:17,800
event that's happened to us.
I was 18, you were seven.

776
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:21,200
Yep.
And I mean, a lot of things, you

777
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:24,100
know, it changed a lot in real
time and it changed a lot of

778
00:46:24,100 --> 00:46:29,600
how, you know, the next Decade
or two how our day-to-day

779
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:32,000
change.
So there's definitely been

780
00:46:32,700 --> 00:46:35,000
serious ramifications from that
moment.

781
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:39,100
And you know, I think that's one
thing that we kind of we kind of

782
00:46:39,100 --> 00:46:43,200
miss a little bit is that you
know, regardless of how we're

783
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:47,400
feeling you know, politically or
socially or all that stuff.

784
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:51,600
There was a moment in time there
where we were kind of felt we

785
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:54,200
felt United, We felt like we
were on the same ground

786
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:57,300
everybody everybody.
She had come together in

787
00:46:57,300 --> 00:47:01,600
response to that and it'd be
nice to get a little bit of that

788
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:06,500
back.
So but it was it was a sad day.

789
00:47:07,300 --> 00:47:10,900
It was, it was sad to feel
attacked and attacked in a way

790
00:47:10,900 --> 00:47:15,100
that targeted civilians and not
military assets.

791
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:18,300
And I think that was that was
the big thing for us.

792
00:47:19,500 --> 00:47:22,800
It's absolutely right.
So for, you know, thinking about

793
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:27,400
it for everyone that lost their
lives that day weather in New

794
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:31,700
York at the towers at the
Pentagon, or on flight 93 that

795
00:47:31,700 --> 00:47:36,500
went down in Pennsylvania and
then for all the military in the

796
00:47:36,500 --> 00:47:41,500
subsequent years, but
essentially lost their lives.

797
00:47:41,500 --> 00:47:46,600
You know, a tip of the hat and a
big thank you.

798
00:47:47,700 --> 00:47:52,500
Because it was the changing
event of our lifetimes and it's

799
00:47:52,500 --> 00:47:57,000
been 20 years in.
For some of y'all who are

800
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,000
listening tonight, y'all are
kids.

801
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:00,900
We weren't we were on the
present.

802
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:03,900
We were, we were adults, we
essentially, we're adults.

803
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:08,200
I have football practice after
after this happened that day and

804
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:14,100
that was a different type of
experience, you know, a lot of a

805
00:48:14,107 --> 00:48:17,600
lot of talking about things that
were happening and those those

806
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:20,500
ramifications and kind of what
the what the future was going to

807
00:48:20,500 --> 00:48:24,900
show for us and how the next few
weeks were GoGo and again we

808
00:48:24,900 --> 00:48:30,700
were I was in Halifax County.
I was more or less removed from

809
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:34,500
the actual events themselves and
they still had that let that

810
00:48:34,500 --> 00:48:36,800
degree of impact on the
day-to-day life and I can only

811
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:43,300
imagine what the folks that live
through that in real time in New

812
00:48:43,300 --> 00:48:49,000
York in in DC and on The on
flight 93.

813
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:51,200
I can only imagine what that was
like for them.

814
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:56,200
So you still sad day day of
remembrance and and something

815
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:59,000
that will never forget In Our
Lifetime, not at all.

816
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:01,300
All right.
So folks, we're going to go back

817
00:49:01,300 --> 00:49:03,700
to the football now and kind of
hit our closing thoughts from

818
00:49:03,700 --> 00:49:07,600
today's game, the beta version,
and I'm going to hit you with

819
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:09,400
some stats crying.
And then, I want your some of

820
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:10,800
your philosophical thoughts
here.

821
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:15,800
All right, things I like for the
day, Braun, who are over 50

822
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:18,800
percent, converting third Downs,
On this team that must be

823
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:22,100
consistent.
We were right at 50% last week.

824
00:49:22,500 --> 00:49:28,000
5.7 / rush if we rush 5.7 / Rush
every game this year, we are

825
00:49:28,008 --> 00:49:31,300
going to win a lot of games.
I don't give a damn what anybody

826
00:49:31,300 --> 00:49:33,800
says, because if we're going to
run the ball, anywhere between

827
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:36,700
30 and 40 times a game like we
did today, we're going to get

828
00:49:36,700 --> 00:49:40,400
200 plus yards.
All right, the things that

829
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:44,700
didn't like or one more thing I
did like zero turnovers.

830
00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:47,300
You play Queen games, were going
to beat.

831
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:50,500
In every games or against lesser
opponents like this, we are

832
00:49:50,500 --> 00:49:52,500
going to essentially run away
from them.

833
00:49:52,900 --> 00:49:57,300
Yeah, well then like we have to
clean up the first half, we have

834
00:49:57,300 --> 00:50:00,400
to clean up and every time we
get the ball we must take

835
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:02,900
advantage there.
Cannot be three and outs.

836
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:07,900
There can be non scoring drives
but there cannot be three and

837
00:50:07,900 --> 00:50:10,900
outs.
We're like in Keyshawn, Kings

838
00:50:10,900 --> 00:50:13,300
case when we get a three and out
we're at Midfield.

839
00:50:14,100 --> 00:50:17,300
You are roughly 25 yards from
putting points on the board.

840
00:50:17,500 --> 00:50:20,400
We cannot let that happen.
And then the other thing is the

841
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:24,600
passing game, we've got to kind
of look at what Braxton does

842
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:28,100
best and take advantage of it.
So sir, I'm going to turn it

843
00:50:28,100 --> 00:50:30,800
over to you.
What are your thoughts on some

844
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:35,800
of this stuff?
So my first thing is this, you

845
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:39,800
talked about yards per carry.
I'm okay with with what we did

846
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:42,900
in the running game.
I think we need to be more

847
00:50:42,900 --> 00:50:47,700
consistent with how we rush the
ball and get to the next level.

848
00:50:47,700 --> 00:50:50,300
So I'm going to go a little bit
of criticism here on the

849
00:50:50,300 --> 00:50:52,400
offensive line.
The offensive line is what I had

850
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:59,000
the biggest problem with in the
first half and it was poor pass.

851
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:05,200
Pro-poor Blitz pickup and A poor
job on combo blocks in the zone

852
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:07,200
game of getting to the second
level.

853
00:51:08,300 --> 00:51:11,200
We would more or less manage
their defensive line, but then

854
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:14,500
their linebackers would come up
and make the play to yard

855
00:51:14,500 --> 00:51:17,900
three-yard gain.
We can't make our entire game go

856
00:51:17,900 --> 00:51:22,300
off at two or three yard gain.
So you got to be more consistent

857
00:51:22,300 --> 00:51:25,800
by getting to the second level.
When we did get past that second

858
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:29,600
level we hit some pretty good
plays both in the scramble drill

859
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:33,700
and a couple of those line up.
Running plays, and especially

860
00:51:33,700 --> 00:51:36,800
some of the jet sweeps.
So we did a pretty good job,

861
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:40,100
total of getting yardage in
those, you know, those big,

862
00:51:40,100 --> 00:51:42,300
gains offset, the negative
plays.

863
00:51:42,900 --> 00:51:45,800
I want us to be more consistent,
especially in the first half,

864
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:50,000
right?
Yeah, second thing we need the

865
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:55,200
need need to get something going
in the passing game consistently

866
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:58,100
because we did a really good job
of peppering in the short

867
00:51:58,100 --> 00:52:02,100
passing game against UNC,
especially in the first half.

868
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:04,700
And I didn't see hardly any of
that in this game.

869
00:52:04,700 --> 00:52:09,200
And I know again, I know they
were going vanilla here, but

870
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:11,600
that doesn't mean you go away
from what's working for you,

871
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:13,100
right?
It's true.

872
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:16,000
It's true.
So that was frustrating.

873
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:19,000
And on defense, I want to see a
j Hamm.

874
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:23,400
Get be a little bit quicker with
the trigger on adjusting those,

875
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:25,500
those coverages.
When he sees that they're

876
00:52:25,500 --> 00:52:29,200
clearly taking advantage of The
Off, Man.

877
00:52:29,500 --> 00:52:32,300
And some of the, the cover six
philosophies.

878
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:34,900
He was going with for an
extended period of time there

879
00:52:35,100 --> 00:52:37,100
because they were, they were
just working it behind the

880
00:52:37,107 --> 00:52:40,200
corner in front of the safety.
Every time there was a key down

881
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:44,300
and we couldn't stop it.
In on defense.

882
00:52:44,300 --> 00:52:47,900
Brian, you know, we get we gave
up some big plays tonight.

883
00:52:48,900 --> 00:52:50,800
I think we can live with that.
I think are pass.

884
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:54,000
Rush is good enough.
I do I think the password is

885
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:55,900
good enough.
Listen, you guys want to take

886
00:52:55,900 --> 00:52:58,600
five and seven?
Step drops against Powell on

887
00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:00,900
garbage.
Jordan Williams, Pollard

888
00:53:00,900 --> 00:53:05,800
Kendricks fuga bar no Griffin go
for it.

889
00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:11,700
You're going to pay whether you
actually get sacked or there

890
00:53:11,700 --> 00:53:14,600
right there and bearing down on
you, so that's fine.

891
00:53:15,300 --> 00:53:18,400
But we have to be careful with
it as we get into games against

892
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:22,200
better defense has become, plays
are going to kill us.

893
00:53:22,500 --> 00:53:24,300
What I will.
What I will compliment.

894
00:53:24,300 --> 00:53:28,300
I'm gonna compliment real quick.
We did a good job of when there

895
00:53:28,300 --> 00:53:33,800
was that big play of as Ted last
and likes to say be like a

896
00:53:33,808 --> 00:53:37,500
goldfish, we forgot about it.
We moved on, we play the next

897
00:53:37,500 --> 00:53:40,300
play, right?
So That's what you like to see.

898
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:44,400
We didn't let one bad play.
Turn into five that turned into

899
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:50,500
scores consistently.
Yep, the other thing, I noticed,

900
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:54,400
9 of 19 on third and fourth, and
almost 50% cannot do.

901
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:58,500
That cannot do that, especially
how bad they were against

902
00:53:58,500 --> 00:54:02,700
Monmouth on third down.
Like, yes, this is, I will

903
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:07,100
caveat here caveat.
So I was just talking about the

904
00:54:07,100 --> 00:54:10,800
one scoring Drive, they had.
In the second quarter almost

905
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:13,600
half of those third down,
conversions occurred on that one

906
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:16,600
drive.
All right, so we take that drive

907
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:23,000
out there.
It's more like 40%, 40%

908
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:26,300
conversion versus you know, 65%
question.

909
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:29,500
Right at 50 productivity.
Right in 50 percent conversion.

910
00:54:29,500 --> 00:54:30,400
Okay.
Hi.

911
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:34,300
The good 12 - plays.
Three sacks nine.

912
00:54:34,300 --> 00:54:39,100
Tackles for loss, I thought we'd
have more but clearly they were

913
00:54:39,100 --> 00:54:41,300
playing the underneath game.
They were trying to hit him

914
00:54:41,300 --> 00:54:47,000
quick, but anytime we last week
we're at 95%, I'd love to see

915
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:51,200
the rush ratio, the quarterback
hit ratio as well, but if you're

916
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:57,100
twenty percent of getting a play
in the backfield, That's one out

917
00:54:57,100 --> 00:55:00,100
of one every five plays, that is
a good thing.

918
00:55:00,100 --> 00:55:03,500
As long as we stay between that
20, I'm going to hope there's a

919
00:55:03,508 --> 00:55:06,500
game where worth 30%, maybe it's
next week and I get to be wrong

920
00:55:06,500 --> 00:55:12,400
about something that Brian you
were not happy about the number

921
00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:15,400
of yards.
They got your up, haha, I'm

922
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:19,300
wanted less than 50 Prime there
at one point eight per carry.

923
00:55:19,500 --> 00:55:22,600
We had 66 total yards.
Rushing I want to under fifty

924
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:25,400
eight, I'll allow it.
I'll allow it.

925
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:28,900
So I mean, good job overall by
the defensive line linebacker

926
00:55:28,900 --> 00:55:31,400
played.
Well, Tisdale had a really good

927
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:34,300
game again.
I only feel had a solid game

928
00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:37,100
again.
Consistently on third down, went

929
00:55:37,100 --> 00:55:39,200
through nickel, though.
Love it.

930
00:55:39,500 --> 00:55:41,800
That's it.
I mean, that's was running off

931
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:45,900
more often than not on third
down, unless it was third and

932
00:55:45,900 --> 00:55:47,200
short.
He was coming off.

933
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:50,700
If we could sub, we've got that
sub package going in with three

934
00:55:50,700 --> 00:55:53,400
really good defensive backs.
Now Brian, the one last thing,

935
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:57,200
they're going to be people
looking And saying, we gave over

936
00:55:57,200 --> 00:56:03,600
300 yards to this offense.
Do not count the last 86 yards.

937
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:08,100
That was literally all of our
freshmen and this.

938
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:11,600
That wasn't even to deeper on.
That was like three and forty

939
00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:13,700
out there.
You can count those yards, but

940
00:56:13,700 --> 00:56:16,900
you need it in context and
understand that, you know, this

941
00:56:16,900 --> 00:56:18,500
was this was garbage time,
right?

942
00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:24,000
So, if you take that out, 260
yards of total offense.

943
00:56:24,300 --> 00:56:30,000
Yeah, I'd like to see under 250
but you know, all right.

944
00:56:30,100 --> 00:56:32,700
Brian if I Spect a shins.
All right, Brian.

945
00:56:33,300 --> 00:56:37,100
Here's the deal, man.
Yep, I'm looking at pics.

946
00:56:37,100 --> 00:56:39,200
We actually had a good week.
Okay.

947
00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:41,100
A good week.
We had only about it.

948
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:45,900
You can go no worse than 500.
Okay, I'll take that.

949
00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:47,800
No worse.
That means you're not making

950
00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:51,100
much much ground on me.
I'm not actually.

951
00:56:51,100 --> 00:56:55,600
I want seven and three it.
I can go seven and Korea you, so

952
00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:59,600
you're so you might catch me.
Let's see, or B?

953
00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:01,700
0 b, 1 game back.
No no no no.

954
00:57:01,700 --> 00:57:05,000
I'm not gonna be one game back
because I started off so bad.

955
00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:07,200
That's going to take a little
while.

956
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:11,000
But here's what we got folks,
Illinois's UVA Brian.

957
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:16,500
Got that right?
I still don't think UVA is a

958
00:57:16,500 --> 00:57:20,600
good team actually went back and
looked at pick six previews and

959
00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:23,900
read some more stuff on Illinois
that damn Nebraska game was a

960
00:57:23,900 --> 00:57:28,300
fucking anomaly but never really
bad.

961
00:57:28,300 --> 00:57:32,000
They were that was the outlier.
I want some of that game early.

962
00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:36,200
Own.
And there was just like, no one

963
00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:40,700
near UVA players and it's like,
Look at some of Brenda Donald

964
00:57:40,700 --> 00:57:44,600
Sterling's passes their Ducks.
If he goes and throws those next

965
00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:47,900
week against crimes and stormed
up, they're going to have 4 plus

966
00:57:47,900 --> 00:57:53,200
turnovers easy easy.
So Brian got that one right?

967
00:57:53,300 --> 00:57:55,800
I missed on that one.
Tennessee pit.

968
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:58,400
I got that one right?
Brian?

969
00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:00,200
I took pick came close.
Man.

970
00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:03,500
I called the hooker coming in
and almost getting the come

971
00:58:03,500 --> 00:58:05,000
back.
I didn't quite finish it though.

972
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:06,300
Hookers.
Now the quarterback at

973
00:58:06,300 --> 00:58:07,700
Tennessee?
Yep.

974
00:58:07,700 --> 00:58:08,900
Occasional quarterback.
Tennessee.

975
00:58:08,900 --> 00:58:10,600
There's There's not even a
question about.

976
00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:12,800
It looked more fluid in that
offense.

977
00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:16,000
He was more consistent with
throwing the ball again.

978
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:18,500
I know I talked about it
earlier, but Milton trying to

979
00:58:18,508 --> 00:58:24,600
throw anything further than 15
yards over shot every time every

980
00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:28,200
time like you would think, I
mean it is, this would be one

981
00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:30,400
thing if there was tight
coverage every time and all

982
00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:35,200
this, but he had three of those.
His guys are either wide open or

983
00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:38,700
had two steps on the corner.
Zack.

984
00:58:38,700 --> 00:58:40,400
You can't.
This really miss those.

985
00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:42,400
Exactly.
All right.

986
00:58:42,500 --> 00:58:44,800
Rutger Syracuse, we both cook.
Rockers laying the two and a

987
00:58:44,808 --> 00:58:47,000
half.
That was an ugly game.

988
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:52,100
Syracuse was really in it to the
end barriers has them fighting.

989
00:58:52,100 --> 00:58:54,200
I just don't think there's the
talent there and it showed

990
00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:58,400
today, that the way Rutgers has
recruited last couple years with

991
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:06,600
its Keanu, who has a nasty bird
as that or Papa John's.

992
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:13,400
But the way, when they start
playing The Talented teams even

993
00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:16,700
if they have the perfect game
plan, they execute great.

994
00:59:16,900 --> 00:59:20,100
Eventually the fourth quarter of
the gas is going to run out

995
00:59:20,900 --> 00:59:23,700
Milton is pathetic t.
Oo SM.

996
00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:28,600
Yes very pathetic.
We both got that one right NC

997
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:35,900
State we both missed on.
Yeah, it's not so much the

998
00:59:35,900 --> 00:59:38,400
defense.
I think we expected Mike Leach

999
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:42,500
to get some points on them but
they couldn't run the ball

1000
00:59:42,500 --> 00:59:45,200
against that defense.
Yeah, that was shocking.

1001
00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:47,400
That it took them.
I mean they never really got the

1002
00:59:47,408 --> 00:59:50,600
running game going.
Leary was having to carry that

1003
00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:55,200
offense and he you know, didn't
do a bad job but he just didn't

1004
00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:58,600
have a whole lot of help and you
know that that was problematic.

1005
00:59:59,100 --> 01:00:01,500
They really kind of got behind
and you can't really fall behind

1006
01:00:01,500 --> 01:00:07,500
against a team that Can do
things offensively and then the

1007
01:00:07,500 --> 01:00:11,700
defense for Mississippi State
showed that they can, they can

1008
01:00:11,700 --> 01:00:14,300
run with with a pretty decent
offense.

1009
01:00:14,300 --> 01:00:19,400
So NC State going down is
definitely kind of my well, I

1010
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:22,000
don't call it an upset of the
week, okay.

1011
01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:23,100
All you've got to say some of
us.

1012
01:00:23,100 --> 01:00:25,900
Don't say what you said to me.
I'll Fair we're not saying that

1013
01:00:25,900 --> 01:00:28,600
yet.
No, we're not saying that at

1014
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:31,700
all.
Hey, but NC State going down

1015
01:00:31,700 --> 01:00:34,200
definitely was kind of the, the
Sha Shocker for me of the

1016
01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:38,300
weekend in terms of teams, I
thought we're going to kind of

1017
01:00:38,300 --> 01:00:41,100
handle their business that
didn't ya.

1018
01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:46,200
So it's sort of shocking to see
that but you know, kind of is

1019
01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:49,800
what it is, right?
So we both missed on that one.

1020
01:00:50,100 --> 01:00:53,900
AB State, Miami.
Told you Brian hangover game?

1021
01:00:54,300 --> 01:01:00,200
Hangover Miami is officially not
my pick to win the coastal.

1022
01:01:00,500 --> 01:01:05,200
Oh sour.
Word on the canes and it only

1023
01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:09,000
took two weeks only to couple
weeks but I got that one right

1024
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:10,000
Brian.
Swing on it.

1025
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:13,600
We nailed the game of the day we
nail game of the day.

1026
01:01:14,300 --> 01:01:18,300
Iowa's goes into Iowa, State
goes into Ames and handles

1027
01:01:18,300 --> 01:01:22,700
business, such as clean water,
but they also took a nail today.

1028
01:01:22,900 --> 01:01:25,800
It took a big Elder day.
You know what?

1029
01:01:25,800 --> 01:01:27,500
I think.
Matt camels probably found his

1030
01:01:27,500 --> 01:01:31,000
home for the next 15 years.
Okay.

1031
01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:34,100
Now, I'll say that in two weeks,
he's going to beat Oklahoma by

1032
01:01:34,100 --> 01:01:36,800
like 20.
He's the best coach in the

1033
01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:42,300
country, Texas, not back.
Not that that we both swung and

1034
01:01:42,300 --> 01:01:45,700
missed on that one in Miss.
Big-time terribly on that one,

1035
01:01:46,800 --> 01:01:49,700
but we got Michigan, Right?
Michigan will yield Michigan.

1036
01:01:49,700 --> 01:01:54,400
Michigan, definitely Michigan.
Without any expectations, is a

1037
01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:56,900
different team.
No, it's not Michigan.

1038
01:01:57,500 --> 01:02:02,000
It's Jim Harbaugh with no.
Tation Harbaugh with no

1039
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:04,800
expectations at Stanford.
Look what they did.

1040
01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:06,800
Yeah.
Great.

1041
01:02:06,800 --> 01:02:07,800
All right.
Unbelievable.

1042
01:02:07,900 --> 01:02:10,600
Even when they were doing okay
people still writing them off

1043
01:02:11,500 --> 01:02:13,500
Harbaugh when he went to San
Francisco.

1044
01:02:13,500 --> 01:02:15,100
After six.
And ten year, there were no

1045
01:02:15,100 --> 01:02:20,500
expectations, right.
None 13, and 3 to Kyle Williams

1046
01:02:20,500 --> 01:02:23,400
fumbles from punching a ticket
to the Super Bowl.

1047
01:02:24,500 --> 01:02:27,200
So, when there's no expectations
on Harbaugh, I think he just

1048
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:29,600
coaches looser.
All right, but we got that.

1049
01:02:29,700 --> 01:02:32,600
One, right?
And then the big game of the

1050
01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:36,500
day.
I thought Ohio state with them

1051
01:02:36,500 --> 01:02:39,900
without Kavon Thibodeau, but
Anthony Brown.

1052
01:02:39,900 --> 01:02:41,900
We talked about it earlier
handles business.

1053
01:02:41,900 --> 01:02:47,300
We nailed that one organ wins
out rights of our 14 and a half

1054
01:02:47,300 --> 01:02:51,800
easily lays there.
And I tell you what it's really

1055
01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:56,500
interesting to see Does the
playoff picture of the moment?

1056
01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:01,100
It's I mean for real.
It's really interesting because

1057
01:03:01,700 --> 01:03:06,400
you have, you know, you feel
like right now is a 2 SEC teams,

1058
01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:11,800
guaranteed with Georgian Bama,
don't know yet, we don't, it's

1059
01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:14,100
too early.
We don't list is too early.

1060
01:03:14,100 --> 01:03:18,600
But I mean if you're using the
sample size we have and

1061
01:03:18,600 --> 01:03:23,400
projecting that out over 12
games, then the answer is, yes.

1062
01:03:24,500 --> 01:03:30,800
True.
Because right now, The Big Ten

1063
01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:33,400
could be left out, the ACC could
be left out.

1064
01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:39,100
And you know, that would get
things super interesting.

1065
01:03:39,500 --> 01:03:44,000
Yeah, I also think honestly
other than Oregon that means you

1066
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:50,500
gotta see ya, I mean, they're
down 14 right now to Stanford.

1067
01:03:50,700 --> 01:03:53,600
So I was more saying like other
than Oregon.

1068
01:03:53,700 --> 01:04:00,300
I mean has any other non SEC
teams really looked impressive

1069
01:04:04,300 --> 01:04:09,700
How many teams teams that are in
position to make the play off

1070
01:04:09,700 --> 01:04:11,800
that you thought were in
position to make the play off?

1071
01:04:12,900 --> 01:04:15,700
Well, I'm glad you got Georgia
and Bam and you get Oregon has

1072
01:04:15,700 --> 01:04:18,100
anyone else looked interested in
two weeks?

1073
01:04:18,400 --> 01:04:21,600
Not really because Notre Dame
did not look in Brussels today.

1074
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:25,200
They mean they were borderline
about the most certainly do so

1075
01:04:26,600 --> 01:04:31,300
who knows and obviously so that
gets us Brian five and four I'm

1076
01:04:31,300 --> 01:04:35,800
six and Three at the moment.
If Stanford covers, we're both

1077
01:04:35,800 --> 01:04:41,000
going to finish about 500 and
but Stanford cover.

1078
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:44,000
And also, I think we got that in
the bag because I don't think I

1079
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:46,300
can see USC scoring 32
unanswered.

1080
01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:54,500
Now they have, I won't find it
in some way, so, you know, I'm

1081
01:04:54,500 --> 01:04:56,700
going to get a few games back
after starting absolutely

1082
01:04:56,700 --> 01:04:58,700
terribly this year.
Yeah.

1083
01:04:58,700 --> 01:05:01,200
My week to went a whole lot
better than my week one in my

1084
01:05:01,200 --> 01:05:01,600
week.
One.

1085
01:05:01,900 --> 01:05:06,200
Close to 500.
So, I think this should put me

1086
01:05:06,700 --> 01:05:11,300
above 500 altogether.
If Stanford ends up finishing,

1087
01:05:11,300 --> 01:05:15,300
how we think, or I'll bring a
movie, you will be at 500 and

1088
01:05:15,300 --> 01:05:18,400
500.
Okay, I'll take it.

1089
01:05:18,600 --> 01:05:22,100
We had 500 yet.
We're probably going to be up

1090
01:05:22,100 --> 01:05:25,300
another hour or so.
Yeah, ladies and gentlemen, if I

1091
01:05:25,300 --> 01:05:29,000
get to 500 and you guys can
officially say that, I'm just as

1092
01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:31,600
good as flipping a quarter when
it comes to betting.

1093
01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:35,800
All these cases.
We gotta we gotta go back and

1094
01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:39,900
look at our combined pics here,
Rutgers want to know, then 1 +

1095
01:05:39,900 --> 01:05:47,600
12, + 12 + 23 + 2.
We can go five and two combined

1096
01:05:47,600 --> 01:05:50,700
same pics.
Okay, might be finding

1097
01:05:50,700 --> 01:05:52,300
something.
We like the same game.

1098
01:05:52,300 --> 01:05:55,800
Bet on a guy's as anything else.
Popped up honking Nation.

1099
01:05:55,800 --> 01:06:00,300
I don't think, I think we got
this game unscathed, no injuries

1100
01:06:00,900 --> 01:06:02,600
that we had, we had a couple.
Of scares.

1101
01:06:03,200 --> 01:06:05,900
You know, we had Mitchell with a
Nick, we had obviously Braxton

1102
01:06:05,900 --> 01:06:10,700
went back and then we had what
was it Griffin had?

1103
01:06:10,700 --> 01:06:16,900
That had that scare coming off
of The Edge one time but I think

1104
01:06:16,900 --> 01:06:19,700
overall you know nothing ended
up being something that was

1105
01:06:19,700 --> 01:06:22,100
going to keep guys from from
significant time.

1106
01:06:22,100 --> 01:06:25,800
Hopefully he had to Jenkins gets
his foot, right?

1107
01:06:25,800 --> 01:06:28,800
He'll be ready for next week.
Yeah, I think it's got such a

1108
01:06:30,100 --> 01:06:33,200
good will take Brian.
There is one thing we missed

1109
01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:35,800
Florida, State loses to
Jacksonville State.

1110
01:06:36,100 --> 01:06:38,800
I was actually about to mention
that because I saw that pop up

1111
01:06:39,100 --> 01:06:43,600
in my feed here after closing
out of their minds against Notre

1112
01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:46,600
Dame on all those.
See what Notre Dame did today.

1113
01:06:46,600 --> 01:06:49,500
I'm not sure that this is
necessarily a Notre Dame team to

1114
01:06:49,500 --> 01:06:53,600
really talk about is is what
Notre Dame did to Florida state

1115
01:06:53,600 --> 01:06:58,700
is that they're going to kind of
be what happened to us. 2018,

1116
01:07:04,400 --> 01:07:06,300
learn some new things about the
next week.

1117
01:07:06,300 --> 01:07:08,700
I don't, I don't know if I don't
think the first two weeks.

1118
01:07:08,700 --> 01:07:10,100
We really know a whole lot about
that.

1119
01:07:10,100 --> 01:07:14,700
I think we know that Their
offensive line is is very much

1120
01:07:14,700 --> 01:07:18,800
average this year.
They record you next week, okay.

1121
01:07:19,900 --> 01:07:25,400
Who is 2 and 0, but they have
played Oregon, State, and

1122
01:07:25,400 --> 01:07:28,600
Connecticut for Duty.
Connecticut, today, 49 to

1123
01:07:28,600 --> 01:07:32,700
nothing.
That's can I give me a that's

1124
01:07:32,700 --> 01:07:34,800
not going to be any game vacant
Overlook.

1125
01:07:34,800 --> 01:07:38,200
I mean produce probably not the
greatest team out there but they

1126
01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:42,000
will show up and they will give
you hell for four quarters.

1127
01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:45,300
So we want one.
If they all come in there and

1128
01:07:45,300 --> 01:07:50,000
start like they have the last
couple weeks, they could take

1129
01:07:50,000 --> 01:07:54,800
the L there, you know, cone cone
showed some metal today and the

1130
01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:57,000
way he finished that game.
Yeah.

1131
01:07:57,000 --> 01:08:01,800
But their defense isn't what it
Was last year and their offense

1132
01:08:01,800 --> 01:08:04,800
because of the offensive line.
I mean, they had to find

1133
01:08:05,100 --> 01:08:09,200
inventive ways to get Tyree the
ball in space, where he can make

1134
01:08:09,200 --> 01:08:12,400
some plays, because they're not
a team that can just line up and

1135
01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:14,600
run it down your throat anymore.
Yeah.

1136
01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:19,600
I think, I think the defense and
they're, they're still good up

1137
01:08:19,600 --> 01:08:24,800
front on the line, but I think
not having a su su a Jeremiah.

1138
01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:27,800
I was going to say that that
second level is where they're

1139
01:08:27,800 --> 01:08:31,200
missing it because I don't those
guys have grown into the

1140
01:08:31,200 --> 01:08:34,200
position of what they need to be
in that defense, I think even

1141
01:08:34,200 --> 01:08:36,000
more.
So with a new defensive

1142
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:41,000
coordinator and Marcus Freeman,
you know, certain people out

1143
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:45,800
there love Marcus Freeman and he
is not doing great to begin with

1144
01:08:46,899 --> 01:08:50,300
anything else, breaking Brian
and I felt tomorrow.

1145
01:08:51,200 --> 01:08:53,200
Yeah, boys.
We kick it off tomorrow.

1146
01:08:54,300 --> 01:08:56,399
Looking forward to see what the
Colts can do against the

1147
01:08:56,399 --> 01:09:00,100
Seahawks.
I know Curtis wants us to get

1148
01:09:00,100 --> 01:09:02,899
the W so that's what matters the
dove please.

1149
01:09:03,200 --> 01:09:06,200
I'll be probably listening.
Yeah, a bunch of errands to do

1150
01:09:06,200 --> 01:09:07,100
tomorrow.
I'm going to probably be

1151
01:09:07,100 --> 01:09:12,200
listening to the Niners game and
the San Fran affiliate as I mow

1152
01:09:12,200 --> 01:09:18,100
my grass tomorrow afternoon.
So yeah, Brian if nothing else.

1153
01:09:18,100 --> 01:09:21,500
Let's let's sign off here, let's
watch the end of the holy word

1154
01:09:21,500 --> 01:09:24,399
word.
BYU just got like a nine-yard

1155
01:09:25,100 --> 01:09:27,800
tackle for loss on like an
inside hand.

1156
01:09:27,899 --> 01:09:28,800
Hoff.
Yep.

1157
01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:30,800
That was the most.
Unbelievable thing I've it was

1158
01:09:30,800 --> 01:09:33,899
the most slow developing handoff
I've ever seen and be white

1159
01:09:33,899 --> 01:09:36,200
things.
Blew it up that makes bronstein

1160
01:09:36,200 --> 01:09:38,200
Springs.
Little compressive, Arizona

1161
01:09:38,200 --> 01:09:44,100
State in a dogfight with UNLV
and USC having to make the

1162
01:09:44,108 --> 01:09:45,600
