1
00:00:45,100 --> 00:00:48,800
Welcome back to be boundary
Corner podcast.

2
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,500
I'm Curtis Wilson.
I'm Brian Sigler, buddy.

3
00:00:53,500 --> 00:00:57,900
Wednesday night.
We back pump, we back is hump

4
00:00:57,900 --> 00:01:00,900
day.
It doesn't feel like fall

5
00:01:00,900 --> 00:01:04,599
outside.
We value, you know, we're

6
00:01:04,599 --> 00:01:07,500
clipping the 90s this week for
whatever reason we went from

7
00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:10,800
like it's that, what is this?
This is false fall, right?

8
00:01:11,100 --> 00:01:14,400
If the eight seasons of Virginia
whether oh yeah, we're currently

9
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,300
in false fall.
We got like the week of the

10
00:01:16,300 --> 00:01:22,000
North Carolina game was fall.
Perfect, like 79 degrees during

11
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,900
the day.
What low 70s?

12
00:01:24,900 --> 00:01:27,900
Mid 60's during the game?
Cool.

13
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,600
Nah.
Nah, he's hot brutal, weather.

14
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,500
Not some ribs as one last Roar
here, before it goes quietly

15
00:01:35,500 --> 00:01:38,800
into the night.
There needs to go.

16
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,900
I'm I'm I'm done with Summer the
pools.

17
00:01:41,900 --> 00:01:46,500
Pretty much closed.
The kids are in school.

18
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,800
I ain't asking what once I get
back from vacation kind of like

19
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,300
Late July after.
After my anniversary, I'm kind

20
00:01:52,300 --> 00:01:53,300
of like, all right.
Right?

21
00:01:53,900 --> 00:01:55,300
Y'all can keep the rest of the
summer.

22
00:01:55,300 --> 00:01:58,400
Let's bring on Fall.
Yeah, I mean, thankfully,

23
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,900
thankfully, we have a podcast
and we follow football.

24
00:02:00,900 --> 00:02:05,100
So August kind of goes by pretty
quick for us, August flies by

25
00:02:05,100 --> 00:02:09,900
when you're on a podcast.
And once August hits in every

26
00:02:09,900 --> 00:02:12,700
facet, it's it flies by the next
thing.

27
00:02:12,700 --> 00:02:15,700
You know, we are going to Blink
and maybe seven to ten days.

28
00:02:15,700 --> 00:02:20,300
It is going to be 80 degrees for
a high note humidity, the nights

29
00:02:20,300 --> 00:02:22,700
are going to be perfect at the
fire pit out.

30
00:02:23,300 --> 00:02:26,400
But as of right now, for the
rest of this week here in the

31
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,300
r-va and I believe throughout
most greater Virginia.

32
00:02:30,100 --> 00:02:31,900
Yeah, we're sticking in the
mid-80s.

33
00:02:31,900 --> 00:02:34,200
Looks like we get some low 80s
starting next week.

34
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,000
So, fingers crossed.
Fingers crossed.

35
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,800
She chose up.
I'm definitely ready for fire

36
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:44,300
pit and outdoor movie nights and
we're still about 10 or 15

37
00:02:44,300 --> 00:02:49,500
degrees away from that.
We are definitely that so folks,

38
00:02:49,900 --> 00:02:57,800
before we get into deep topic,
welcome to hate week 1.0 the

39
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,200
battle for the Black Diamond
trophy is upon us.

40
00:03:02,300 --> 00:03:05,400
It has been four years since we
played the West Virginia

41
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,700
Mountaineers back in 2017 up at
FedEx.

42
00:03:10,100 --> 00:03:13,900
Yep, I think it's bull that they
got the first home game.

43
00:03:15,500 --> 00:03:18,700
In this series, they'll be
coming to the Lane next year

44
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,500
before we get deep diving into
that.

45
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,200
We do have a few things.
We want to take a look at first

46
00:03:24,700 --> 00:03:30,700
and let's start kind of around
the ACC brined earlier this week

47
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,900
announced filled your kovich,
the quarterback up out of BC is

48
00:03:34,900 --> 00:03:38,400
now done for the year.
I'm going to go ahead and say it

49
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:43,700
this pretty much flips my
prediction of that from a win or

50
00:03:43,700 --> 00:03:48,100
a loss to a win.
In just not knowing who the

51
00:03:48,100 --> 00:03:53,500
backup is as of yet.
And you know he was that guy if

52
00:03:53,500 --> 00:03:56,800
he took the step he was going to
get them to be the you know 2nd

53
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,500
to 4th best team and now he's
gone.

54
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,800
Well that's you I'm kind of
right there with you.

55
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:07,600
I think that this was a game
that playing in hostile

56
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,400
environment and just the skill
level.

57
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,500
That BC was showing they were
starting to kind of climb that

58
00:04:14,500 --> 00:04:18,200
mountain a little It huh?
Not having that quarterback is

59
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,300
going to be a big deal.
I feel like this goes from a

60
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,300
kind of a lien BC to at least a
toss-up for us, right?

61
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:31,300
Um, I think it's now lean Tech.
I mean because if you go there,

62
00:04:31,300 --> 00:04:34,000
I can definitely go there.
But uh, I'm trying to be a

63
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,000
little conservative here.
I don't want to Discount would

64
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,000
be seized doing here.
But, you know, I think in terms

65
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,500
of getting the ball down the
field, they're going to struggle

66
00:04:43,700 --> 00:04:46,000
a little bit.
The It is going to be, can they

67
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,500
replace that with what seems to
be a little bit of an improved

68
00:04:49,500 --> 00:04:53,100
defense and somewhat improved
running game?

69
00:04:53,100 --> 00:04:57,100
So yeah, we shall see.
Yeah, the backup is Dennis

70
00:04:57,100 --> 00:05:00,900
Grassle.
He did play some last year for

71
00:05:00,900 --> 00:05:06,400
BC, let me see if I can get his
testicle numbers up here.

72
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:13,600
He played last year to the tune
of 54 attempts. 37 completion,

73
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:18,200
68% 568.
So six touchdowns three

74
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:22,600
interceptions.
So not terrible for last year.

75
00:05:22,700 --> 00:05:27,200
He obviously played in some in
last week's game against UMass

76
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:34,000
as I feel went down, you know
again time, we'll see but to me,

77
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,400
you don't go from a guy like
your kovich to the back up it's

78
00:05:39,100 --> 00:05:40,300
half.
He's going to have his work.

79
00:05:40,300 --> 00:05:45,000
Cut out for him and maybe the
way you can say it's a toss-up

80
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:50,200
for you now is now they have six
weeks to get prepared for us or

81
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,000
to find the groove of what we're
going to do.

82
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:57,700
While we don't, you know, While
we don't know what beholds for

83
00:05:57,700 --> 00:06:01,800
us yet, true, although the same
time we've got tape on their

84
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,000
backup quarterback, which if
this happened the week before,

85
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,700
we don't exactly know, what type
of game plan they're going to

86
00:06:07,707 --> 00:06:10,600
have for me this point.
By the time we see them will

87
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,900
know what they like to do with
rasul and can prepare for it on

88
00:06:14,900 --> 00:06:17,200
defense.
Very, very, very true.

89
00:06:17,500 --> 00:06:20,200
All right.
Next is look at Georgia Tech,

90
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,300
Jeff Sims went out against
Northern Illinois.

91
00:06:23,300 --> 00:06:26,500
Did not play against Kenneth
Allstate Yates, the backup took

92
00:06:26,500 --> 00:06:31,600
over and for me.
That's what's your thoughts on

93
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,400
this so far?
Brian with Sims out.

94
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,000
Haven't heard much if he's going
to play this week against

95
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:44,100
Clemson.
I mean, that's that's a, that's

96
00:06:44,100 --> 00:06:46,900
a struggling situation.
That's, you're adding insult to

97
00:06:46,900 --> 00:06:49,300
injury there, right?
You?

98
00:06:49,300 --> 00:06:53,900
Jeff says, it's probably the
most consistent element of team

99
00:06:53,900 --> 00:06:58,400
last year.
And losing him week one, not

100
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,900
having a week to haven't heard a
whole lot about his availability

101
00:07:00,900 --> 00:07:04,800
this week that definitely
definitely limits their ceiling.

102
00:07:05,500 --> 00:07:10,600
And it was a ceiling that was
bouncing around already, right?

103
00:07:11,300 --> 00:07:16,000
So you know it's going to depend
on how long he's out in terms of

104
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,200
what Georgia Tech's able to do
over the coming weeks.

105
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,600
Is he out another three to four
weeks there?

106
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,200
Is he out just another one or
two?

107
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,000
Well, regardless, if he's out
just one or two or if he's back

108
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,500
this week against Clemson for
them, those first two games

109
00:07:31,500 --> 00:07:33,400
against Northern Illinois and
Kennesaw State, we're going to

110
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,400
be his in game development
games.

111
00:07:36,700 --> 00:07:39,700
Where he can get on the field,
they can try plays, they can see

112
00:07:39,700 --> 00:07:43,000
what he's seen because now this
is the way their schedule looks

113
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,900
up until Virginia Tech, okay?
You're a headache, Clemson,

114
00:07:47,700 --> 00:07:55,400
North Carolina it, they then
have Duke then UVA then, uh, so

115
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:59,200
you John, you see you John.
So, it's like, they're not

116
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:04,700
coming into playing lesser
opponents to give him time to

117
00:08:04,700 --> 00:08:06,400
again.
Get that in game development.

118
00:08:06,500 --> 00:08:09,200
Comment, give us feedback from
owners, like go play, Clemson,

119
00:08:09,300 --> 00:08:12,600
then go play North Carolina,
then play pit, you're playing

120
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,300
one elite.
Team one good team, one solid

121
00:08:17,300 --> 00:08:19,400
team.
You finally get Duke and then

122
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,800
you get UVA before you get text.
So those first two games, as we

123
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:28,200
used to see it in the past
building confidence, finding

124
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,700
plays, you know, work with the
guy and that's gone.

125
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,900
So it's going to be interesting
if he does come back as he

126
00:08:35,900 --> 00:08:38,000
automatically back or is Yates
the guy.

127
00:08:39,299 --> 00:08:42,400
Yeah.
And I mean, it seems like like

128
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,800
we said in terms of where that
ceiling is, you feel like Jeff

129
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:50,100
Sims, probably gets them higher
but much, how they may be able

130
00:08:50,100 --> 00:08:53,700
to work worked back up in there
for the last couple weeks is

131
00:08:53,700 --> 00:08:55,500
probably going to have them
again this week.

132
00:08:56,300 --> 00:09:00,000
Maybe just a but there's no
riding the hot hand, right?

133
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,500
No, there's no no.
It's because there's not a hot

134
00:09:03,500 --> 00:09:08,900
hand there is, and it's also the
level Sims is a look.

135
00:09:09,300 --> 00:09:12,600
He's an elite athlete.
That to me with the way Georgia

136
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,400
Tech is right now.
He has to be out there.

137
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,700
He's gonna give him the best
chance to win, so it's just

138
00:09:16,700 --> 00:09:20,400
going to be interesting if he
does come back against Clemson a

139
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,700
against that defense with really
kind of going to be your first

140
00:09:24,100 --> 00:09:25,700
true game.
I mean, that's going to get

141
00:09:25,700 --> 00:09:30,100
ugly, I mean, and we'll talk
about that line a little bit

142
00:09:30,100 --> 00:09:34,900
later and what I'd be willing to
lay, all right, Brian, even

143
00:09:34,900 --> 00:09:38,100
though this is an ACC news, it's
college football news.

144
00:09:38,700 --> 00:09:42,900
To me, it has a potential big
trickle down for Virginia Tech

145
00:09:43,100 --> 00:09:46,500
and for the east coast in
general clay Helton gets fired

146
00:09:46,500 --> 00:09:51,500
Monday after losing to Stanford
by essentially getting blown out

147
00:09:51,500 --> 00:09:53,600
by a Stanford team that did not
look like.

148
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:59,200
It could play the previous week
against Kansas State and every

149
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:03,100
name under your mother's popping
up, Urban Meyer, Jack Del Rio

150
00:10:03,100 --> 00:10:07,500
Eric, be on the knee.
Tonio.

151
00:10:07,500 --> 00:10:11,800
You sing got thrown out there
but the one that got said again

152
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,600
and we've heard it in the past
James Franklin.

153
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:20,400
Yeah, I mean, I know Dan Patrick
made the announcement this

154
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,300
morning that there is mutual
interest between the two

155
00:10:23,300 --> 00:10:25,500
parties.
I don't know what, what degree

156
00:10:25,500 --> 00:10:29,200
that means.
That, you know, Franklin is the

157
00:10:29,700 --> 00:10:33,500
leader in the clubhouse terms of
what they want at at Southern

158
00:10:33,500 --> 00:10:36,200
Cal, but it's going to be
interested in.

159
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:40,200
I see from the trickle-down
because you in the last, you

160
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,200
know, Max been been coming
across the border into into the

161
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:47,600
757 the last two to three years,
but James Franklin has been

162
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,600
dipping his toes down in
Virginia for the last eight or

163
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,700
nine.
Yeah, and it's been, you know,

164
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,800
especially as the skill
positions you seen running backs

165
00:10:59,500 --> 00:11:03,500
in particular taking their
talents up to Penn State, so it

166
00:11:03,500 --> 00:11:08,100
will be nice to see him go.
So if for no other reason, that

167
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:12,000
more than likely, the next guy
in probably at least is going to

168
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,700
take a year or two to get get
his legs under him for the

169
00:11:15,700 --> 00:11:17,400
recruiting starts to uptake
again.

170
00:11:18,100 --> 00:11:20,300
Well, the question is, can pin
State grab another Elite.

171
00:11:20,300 --> 00:11:24,400
Recruiter, like James Franklin,
they had Bill O'Brien before

172
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,500
that you had Joe Papp for all
the years before that Franklin

173
00:11:27,500 --> 00:11:30,700
was an elite recruiter.
He is a good coach and of his

174
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,800
in-game decisions can be
questioned here and there but he

175
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:39,200
would Vanderbilt in the top 25.
And your rights who will happen

176
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,800
when seasons of Penn State's of.
Well, I don't know, I mean, a

177
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:46,100
Big Ten title Rose Bowl.
I mean, a bunch of different

178
00:11:46,100 --> 00:11:48,600
stuff.
He has been coming down and he's

179
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:53,000
not just been coming down to 75.
It's been all over, Virginia

180
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,900
grabbing the talent, the biggest
differential between him and Mac

181
00:11:56,900 --> 00:11:59,800
is Max going particular to one
area?

182
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,500
Yes, he did get the yes he did
get Jennings out of here in the

183
00:12:02,500 --> 00:12:08,000
RV.
A Max also 68 years old And the

184
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,800
thing with Mac right now, they
have a big game this weekend.

185
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,100
They've already lost, Virginia
Tech.

186
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:20,500
And now it's, you know, you
already saw the didn't Jenny's

187
00:12:20,500 --> 00:12:24,800
tweet something after the game,
like what like, yeah, dude, like

188
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:29,300
UNC doesn't hold a candle when
it comes to Tech Penn State.

189
00:12:29,300 --> 00:12:32,200
It's just been tough because
it's almost like when Franklin

190
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,900
got his hands, and his claws
into a recruit.

191
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,400
We could get it back, we'd be on
track with somebody.

192
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:39,900
You here.
Oh good, we this is great.

193
00:12:39,900 --> 00:12:42,400
We're probably going to land in,
he comes in makes a visit, gets

194
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,000
the claws, take some back.
Now, I'm going to say this this

195
00:12:46,100 --> 00:12:48,800
and this is me being a college
football fan.

196
00:12:49,500 --> 00:12:53,100
If you are James Franklin and
you want to win a National

197
00:12:53,100 --> 00:12:58,000
Title, your best bet is to go to
USC Penn State.

198
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,900
He has been stacking
essentially, top 12 classes.

199
00:13:00,900 --> 00:13:03,800
I know they have the number to
class right now in the country,

200
00:13:03,900 --> 00:13:07,700
I believe or number one.
I think that'll change as, you

201
00:13:07,700 --> 00:13:12,100
know, the biggest dogs get the
highest in Tallinn over the next

202
00:13:12,100 --> 00:13:13,600
five months.
Yep.

203
00:13:13,900 --> 00:13:18,900
But USC has the Introduced at
top five classes on top of each

204
00:13:18,900 --> 00:13:23,300
other.
And it is a national brand, so

205
00:13:23,300 --> 00:13:27,200
he still could come to Virginia
in attempt to get Talent.

206
00:13:27,300 --> 00:13:29,800
You could go anywhere in attempt
to get Talent.

207
00:13:30,100 --> 00:13:32,600
So he also doesn't have to leave
his State.

208
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:38,800
You also doesn't have to really
his City recruit in California

209
00:13:39,100 --> 00:13:42,800
is very true.
I mean, the the amount of talent

210
00:13:42,900 --> 00:13:48,200
just in, you know, hour and a
half of the campus is

211
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:49,900
incredible.
It's true.

212
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,600
It's a crazy amount.
That's true.

213
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,900
John he can't get over the Ohio
State.

214
00:13:56,700 --> 00:13:58,700
He can't get over the Ohio
State, huh?

215
00:13:58,700 --> 00:14:01,800
And the reason he can't get Ohio
State hump, how state is

216
00:14:01,900 --> 00:14:04,000
stacking top five classes on
each other?

217
00:14:04,500 --> 00:14:08,100
Yep you know he's got the one
win he's competed with them.

218
00:14:08,500 --> 00:14:14,400
So you know I think it's the
move after the season unless he

219
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,800
you know does something crazy
and wins a national title.

220
00:14:18,300 --> 00:14:20,200
That's the only way I can't see
him leaving.

221
00:14:20,700 --> 00:14:22,400
Yeah, I don't think they're
quite there yet.

222
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,800
There are good team this year,
although he they are catching

223
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,400
Ohio state is probably as weak
as they've been in a while.

224
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,400
True, but you also now have a
wounded, Ohio State, and

225
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,800
usually, when Ohio state gets
wounded as when they play their

226
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:42,500
best, all that they put to a put
you know somewhat of a duck out

227
00:14:42,500 --> 00:14:47,600
there and then kind of played
1/2 down to an opponent before

228
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,300
putting them away.
So yeah.

229
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:54,000
It's true, man.
All right, next we are going to

230
00:14:54,008 --> 00:14:57,900
turn to Hokies news and notes
and on Saturday night we maybe

231
00:14:57,900 --> 00:15:00,900
we shouldn't have said it Brian,
but it was said, looks like

232
00:15:00,900 --> 00:15:04,300
James Mitchell's, okay?
The news comes down earlier this

233
00:15:04,300 --> 00:15:06,700
week.
James out with a knee injury

234
00:15:06,700 --> 00:15:12,200
rest of the season.
Will have surgery is an absolute

235
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:16,200
gutshot.
Big-time big-time got shot.

236
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,100
And let's talk about the
announcement first because I'm

237
00:15:19,100 --> 00:15:22,700
not sure what went down with
that weather was a

238
00:15:22,700 --> 00:15:25,300
miscommunication or what was
going on.

239
00:15:25,300 --> 00:15:28,900
Whether, you know, in terms of
his his well-being and whether

240
00:15:28,900 --> 00:15:31,700
he was going to be good to go to
the sounded like postgame, they

241
00:15:31,700 --> 00:15:34,700
thought he was going to be good
to go to, at least, get some

242
00:15:34,700 --> 00:15:38,400
practice in and then play
against West Virginia, and then

243
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,300
we got, you know, not just
different news, but in the

244
00:15:42,308 --> 00:15:43,900
communities that direction,
right?

245
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:46,800
So that's a little
disappointing.

246
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,300
I'm not sure where the
disconnect in the information

247
00:15:49,300 --> 00:15:53,600
channel was there but let's
let's not focus on that.

248
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:58,100
Let's focus on the player and
you know, we talked about him

249
00:15:58,100 --> 00:15:59,700
being a talent him being
versatile.

250
00:15:59,700 --> 00:16:02,600
But the one thing I think we're
going to miss the most is the

251
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,500
on-field leadership.
Yep.

252
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:08,200
That he brought to the table.
He was kind of a calming effect

253
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,700
but also that leader that, you
know, when He barked people,

254
00:16:10,700 --> 00:16:11,800
listen.
Yep.

255
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,300
It's very true.
And now, the question is, who

256
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:20,300
amongst the offensive skill
players steps up into that role?

257
00:16:21,500 --> 00:16:24,400
Because on the line, you've
obviously got Brock and lettuce

258
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:30,300
who they bark everybody listens.
So who is among that skill set

259
00:16:30,300 --> 00:16:32,600
does Burmeister step up into the
type role.

260
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,600
Is it trade Turner?
Is it someone else?

261
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,500
We don't quite know yet, but
that's got to happen.

262
00:16:38,500 --> 00:16:42,000
It's got to have the calming
effect because you know, we joke

263
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,600
about The governor.
That's what he was.

264
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:47,300
It was one of those.
Everybody listen to him, we're

265
00:16:47,300 --> 00:16:50,500
going to miss so much that
leadership, the versatility, I

266
00:16:50,500 --> 00:16:54,200
mean, his run blocking, which
looked even better than it did

267
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:59,100
last year and you know?
So now what we've got to turn

268
00:16:59,100 --> 00:17:03,500
the page, you know, we got to
turn the page and we've got to

269
00:17:03,500 --> 00:17:09,500
look in, I don't hate saying
this, this was one position that

270
00:17:09,500 --> 00:17:15,500
if the top guy went down, Would
probably going to be okay.

271
00:17:16,700 --> 00:17:19,700
Your ceiling Falls, but the
floor is still pretty high,

272
00:17:19,700 --> 00:17:20,500
right?
Yes.

273
00:17:21,500 --> 00:17:24,200
So I think that's a good thing
for that position because

274
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:28,000
there's other positions that,
you know, when the ceiling goes

275
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,400
down, the floor goes out, we all
we all must go to the floor to

276
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:35,400
so, right?
But having Nick Gallo in trade

277
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:41,000
to Louis as, as kind of the back
up there, that's going to be big

278
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:45,800
because they not only had some A
lot of game game reps at this

279
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:49,200
point if they have.
But, you know, you also have a

280
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:54,400
little bit of a kind of two guys
that can together.

281
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,400
Do some of the things that James
Mitchell did is one person,

282
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,100
right?
So we talked about it until he

283
00:17:59,100 --> 00:18:03,500
but you know Nick better little
bit better in the blocking game

284
00:18:03,500 --> 00:18:06,600
and Red Zone touches where his
drinks a little bit better in

285
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,700
the open field, on some of those
throwback screens and things

286
00:18:09,700 --> 00:18:12,600
like that.
So the more athletic little bit

287
00:18:13,100 --> 00:18:18,000
more fluid And I'm interested to
see Gallo though, because I

288
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,100
think Gallows going to get more
snaps.

289
00:18:20,100 --> 00:18:26,900
I think if Gallo has any, if he
has 70% of what James Mitchell

290
00:18:26,900 --> 00:18:31,100
path, if it shows it needs to
show quick, because he's

291
00:18:31,100 --> 00:18:33,500
essentially, because James is so
good at what he does.

292
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,900
Gallo in a way has been sort of
Pigeon-holed into that role and

293
00:18:37,900 --> 00:18:41,300
you say like you're out, you're
out, you're blocking tight in,

294
00:18:41,300 --> 00:18:43,700
you're not going to go out on
routes when I will send you up

295
00:18:43,700 --> 00:18:47,200
to seem not all the time as he
called some balls.

296
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:51,200
Yes.
But now it's going to be your

297
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,800
one egg.
What can you do?

298
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,100
Yeah.
I mean if you've got that that

299
00:18:57,100 --> 00:18:59,800
tight in one route set you're
giving that to Mitchell every

300
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:01,700
time, right?
So absolutely, yeah.

301
00:19:01,700 --> 00:19:05,200
Well we'll see if Gallo can step
into that role and do and do a

302
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:09,200
little bit with that.
But what we talked about third

303
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:15,100
tight end, we actually have John
here talking about third side

304
00:19:15,100 --> 00:19:19,900
in.
Well, you know, we're going

305
00:19:19,900 --> 00:19:22,400
Connor blumrich here, actually
are cute.

306
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,600
Cute qb3 becomes tight.
Ten 33.

307
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,500
Yes.
And Chris Coleman said it and I

308
00:19:28,508 --> 00:19:32,200
think a lot of people were
thinking it but Cohen from TS L

309
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,100
said it.
Me and you had bounced it off

310
00:19:34,100 --> 00:19:39,500
each other via text.
It's some point.

311
00:19:39,500 --> 00:19:42,800
I'm on the James Mitchell news
was announced but luckily,

312
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,500
Connor got in and got some live
touches.

313
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,500
I don't know how good his hands
are, you know, there were

314
00:19:49,500 --> 00:19:53,000
reports that he had some sort of
similar role to an HVAC.

315
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:59,500
Type role at am sure some games.
But yeah, I mean he's 65, he's

316
00:19:59,500 --> 00:20:02,200
220 pounds, he's definitely not
going to you're not going to

317
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,700
look at in line blocking, but
he's definitely could be a joker

318
00:20:04,700 --> 00:20:07,200
tight end or run H back out of
the backfield.

319
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:15,100
I think if there is a creative,
Heart of our offensive mind.

320
00:20:15,700 --> 00:20:18,600
It has to come alive now.
Yeah.

321
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,300
Well, because this is jeans is
versatility.

322
00:20:22,300 --> 00:20:25,100
It was really hard to replace
that but I feel like you can buy

323
00:20:25,100 --> 00:20:30,600
committee do all the things that
you were doing before you just

324
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,600
have to do with different
Personnel, right?

325
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,300
Yeah.
And I think Connor helps add to

326
00:20:35,300 --> 00:20:38,300
that.
Just because of his, his overall

327
00:20:38,300 --> 00:20:41,300
athleticism and his top end
speed there.

328
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,600
Good.
You know, again, we haven't seen

329
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,200
his hands.
What that looks like yet.

330
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,900
We've seen him with the ball in
his hand running, looks good

331
00:20:49,900 --> 00:20:54,400
doing that, very good and let's
let's talk about what I mean.

332
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,300
When I say we don't notice hands
look like like if he's got you

333
00:20:57,300 --> 00:20:59,900
guys a step or two on somebody
and you throw him the ball, I

334
00:20:59,900 --> 00:21:02,700
think he's going to catch the
ball for throwing a throwback

335
00:21:02,700 --> 00:21:05,600
screen, you know, when he's open
it and, you know, traffic or

336
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,900
anything like that, he's on
catch those.

337
00:21:08,700 --> 00:21:11,900
What I'm working certain about,
is he going to catch, you know,

338
00:21:11,900 --> 00:21:14,900
that That seemed with a guy on
his back shoulder, is he going

339
00:21:14,900 --> 00:21:18,300
to catch that ball?
That's kind of thrown high in

340
00:21:18,300 --> 00:21:20,600
the end zone where he has to go
up and get it and win that

341
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,500
battle.
Those are those are the catches

342
00:21:23,500 --> 00:21:25,600
that I'm concerned about because
we don't know what that looks

343
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,800
like yet.
But you know if you get this guy

344
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,500
the ball in space I have no
question that he can do some

345
00:21:30,500 --> 00:21:31,900
damage.
Oh no.

346
00:21:31,900 --> 00:21:34,200
Not at all.
I mean just look at him in the

347
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:38,700
way he ran especially on that
30-yard run when he gets the

348
00:21:38,700 --> 00:21:42,000
ball and he has a crease he can
get going.

349
00:21:43,100 --> 00:21:46,100
Obviously we saw even I think,
even what made you feel even

350
00:21:46,100 --> 00:21:50,200
better was running that gold on
package that he ran?

351
00:21:50,500 --> 00:21:52,800
He took some contact.
He took the pit.

352
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,800
So you almost feel like, okay,
he's not going to shy away from

353
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,100
contact.
That's kind of his role now.

354
00:21:59,100 --> 00:22:02,700
It's like go in there and, you
know, bust it open.

355
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:07,800
But other than him I mean really
he's the option.

356
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,900
Yeah, he's the option.
I think we're going to, I mean,

357
00:22:10,900 --> 00:22:12,200
potentially we're gonna see
more.

358
00:22:12,300 --> 00:22:16,500
Three-wide sets.
Hopefully in bronze eyes, we see

359
00:22:16,500 --> 00:22:21,800
more duel running back sets to
change the pace up a little bit

360
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,500
but that and like we said, we've
talked about was getting one

361
00:22:24,500 --> 00:22:26,200
mark on the field.
I mean, that creates the

362
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,200
mismatches there as well.
So we'll create the same

363
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,800
creative, go ahead, that was
some creative things.

364
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:37,200
We can do Personnel was to to
really keep defenses on their

365
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:38,700
toes.
Despite not having James

366
00:22:38,700 --> 00:22:41,900
Mitchell in there, it's just
going to use is our coordinator

367
00:22:41,900 --> 00:22:45,000
is Our offensive coaching staff
going to take advantage of that.

368
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,300
Yeah, the other thing about you
talk about mismatches, also the

369
00:22:48,500 --> 00:22:51,700
possibility of a trick play.
We know the guy has been a

370
00:22:51,700 --> 00:22:55,700
quarterback.
So I hate to say this, I'm not

371
00:22:55,700 --> 00:22:58,600
hate to say this, but I like
saying this, you get down inside

372
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:03,400
the 10 and you decide to run a
little sweet with him, and you

373
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:08,100
do that behind the quarterback.
If everybody syncs up, there's

374
00:23:08,100 --> 00:23:10,900
going to be somebody open and
can he get the ball there?

375
00:23:10,900 --> 00:23:13,900
And then the next thing, you
know, no, the lanes are opening

376
00:23:13,900 --> 00:23:18,500
up because now, someone a stay
with the guy Paul stood over

377
00:23:18,500 --> 00:23:19,800
there, one time he might feel
it.

378
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:21,600
Thinking a little jet sweet
pass.

379
00:23:21,700 --> 00:23:24,000
We'll just sweet pass.
That'd be something interesting

380
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,400
to see.
Let me think about this.

381
00:23:25,700 --> 00:23:28,600
All right, let's go and Brawn.
We did this last week.

382
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,300
We looked at some snap counts,
we're going to look at them

383
00:23:30,300 --> 00:23:32,500
again.
Shout out Evan Watkins over at

384
00:23:33,300 --> 00:23:36,600
24/7 for putting this up but
we're gonna start the

385
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:40,100
linebacking corps because I
think Brian that is where we are

386
00:23:40,100 --> 00:23:44,100
feeling really good.
Seeing how many guys got snaps?

387
00:23:44,100 --> 00:23:50,100
So Tisdale High field obviously
5246 now it's respectively but

388
00:23:50,100 --> 00:23:52,500
we go down a little bit and
both.

389
00:23:53,700 --> 00:23:57,800
Ferguson and Keyshawn artists,
both with 25 snaps.

390
00:23:58,500 --> 00:24:02,900
That's a lot.
That's a big number and I will

391
00:24:02,900 --> 00:24:05,000
say, looking at the tape and
looking at everything.

392
00:24:05,100 --> 00:24:08,200
Keyshawn artist played a really
good game those stamps.

393
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,300
Do you got in there?
Almost had to pick one time.

394
00:24:11,300 --> 00:24:14,700
Stuck his nose, in there.
Got a couple of tackles just

395
00:24:14,900 --> 00:24:19,200
really overall, good game for
him showed that really him and

396
00:24:19,300 --> 00:24:22,300
Dean Ferguson in there.
There wasn't a ton of drop off

397
00:24:22,300 --> 00:24:25,300
from the first line to the
second line because those guys

398
00:24:25,300 --> 00:24:28,300
got in there.
When Middle Tennessee still had

399
00:24:28,300 --> 00:24:30,600
their starters in the game, so
yeah.

400
00:24:30,700 --> 00:24:33,000
A good job for both of them and
good job.

401
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,000
Overall, from the linebacking
corps, I feel like everybody had

402
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,800
a really good game overall,
nothing splashy but I don't

403
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,500
really need splashy from from
the linebackers, the way this

404
00:24:42,500 --> 00:24:44,300
defense is design.
I just need them to be where

405
00:24:44,300 --> 00:24:47,200
they need to be and make the
tackle exactly.

406
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,400
It's the way the defensive
design, do your job.

407
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,800
It's going to be fine with them
getting that much.

408
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,500
I think, now, again, it was
Middle Tennessee, State.

409
00:24:55,500 --> 00:24:59,500
It was a G5 school, but I think
now, maybe in the back of

410
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:04,800
Justin, Hamilton's, my And if I
want to give that accent is a

411
00:25:04,900 --> 00:25:12,600
full were either 4325 plays.
I think what happens is he's not

412
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,300
afraid now.
I put these out there, I put the

413
00:25:15,300 --> 00:25:17,400
right coverage in.
They're going to do their jobs.

414
00:25:17,700 --> 00:25:19,800
I'm not worried about
liabilities.

415
00:25:20,100 --> 00:25:24,100
Yeah, because it's showing that
they can do it a couple other

416
00:25:24,100 --> 00:25:26,000
ones before.
Look at wide receiver, Brian

417
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:35,400
Cole Nelson, 12 reps, Oops,
snaps Wilfred Panay 14, Jalen

418
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,100
Griffin 17.
Keeping up with his normal CJ,

419
00:25:38,100 --> 00:25:42,300
McRae with 20.
I like that.

420
00:25:42,300 --> 00:25:45,800
We had talked about him possibly
getting some extra reps this

421
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:47,300
week and then it came to
fruition.

422
00:25:48,500 --> 00:25:53,600
And the number says that he's
kind of that almost working into

423
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,500
that, that that same number with
that second line, right?

424
00:25:56,700 --> 00:25:58,200
Yeah, I'm he got more than
Griffin.

425
00:25:58,500 --> 00:26:03,300
Yeah, you know and he definitely
got let me see if I can find it

426
00:26:03,300 --> 00:26:05,900
here and he got more than he
liked our atoms.

427
00:26:07,300 --> 00:26:09,800
By the way.
Miss stretch Carol 14.

428
00:26:09,900 --> 00:26:13,400
They Got some play, but the
McRae thing does Stand Out Ron

429
00:26:13,500 --> 00:26:17,700
2020 is a big number when you
know you're looking at the top

430
00:26:17,700 --> 00:26:20,000
guys bar.
No.

431
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,700
And Garbutt with 4437
respectively.

432
00:26:23,300 --> 00:26:27,800
Yep.
So they probably overall played

433
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,300
a little bit more than we
probably wanted them to.

434
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,500
Yes.
But I like that we were able to

435
00:26:33,500 --> 00:26:37,800
get a true 33 deep line,
rotating a defensive end.

436
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,000
Yeah.
That's a good sign.

437
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,600
Another good sign is getting
some of the freshmen that we

438
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,800
need.
Probably going to need more in

439
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,900
late October and November.
Then we need them right now, but

440
00:26:49,900 --> 00:26:53,300
getting them reps now is going
to pay off once that time comes.

441
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,600
So again, the key is going to be
keep guys healthy, keep them as

442
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,400
fresh as possible and hopefully,
get some of the younger guys

443
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,000
enough reps, where they can give
us meaningful snaps and

444
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,400
meaningful games.
Absolutely.

445
00:27:05,700 --> 00:27:08,400
All right, next we want to look
at the wide receiver, see how

446
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:12,200
that's starting to shake out.
No shot Tavian Robinson Leading

447
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:16,600
The Way with 50 snaps Trey,
Turner, 45.

448
00:27:16,700 --> 00:27:21,100
Caleb Smith with 44 and then
Jaden pay.

449
00:27:21,100 --> 00:27:26,200
You got 17 snaps so quite a few
for him Lofton with nine, Jalen

450
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:31,100
Jones with sixth.
I'm going to start here and I

451
00:27:31,100 --> 00:27:33,200
said it's Saturday night and
I'll say it again on Wednesday

452
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,800
night.
If Lofton and Jones are showing

453
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:41,200
that much have to get on them on
the field more than essentially

454
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,000
one series.
Yep.

455
00:27:43,500 --> 00:27:46,100
You have it.
It's starting to get

456
00:27:46,100 --> 00:27:48,600
infuriating.
Like, if they're showing if

457
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,600
you're talking them up and
you're not giving them a playing

458
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:55,700
time, then don't talk them up
because clearly you don't have

459
00:27:55,700 --> 00:27:57,500
any meaning to get them on the
field.

460
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,900
Yeah and it's disappointing
seeing them essentially.

461
00:28:00,900 --> 00:28:06,200
I think if I'm not mistaken
Lofton, was you Used one series

462
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:10,700
before kind of garbage time you
pay you got a little bit more

463
00:28:10,700 --> 00:28:13,500
run but I still would have liked
to see him get more snaps.

464
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:18,800
And unfortunately from it just a
Target standpoint we're still

465
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:23,600
not getting the Targets in the
passing game that we need to do

466
00:28:23,900 --> 00:28:29,000
a lot of even a lot of our calls
are ending up either throws out

467
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:33,800
of bounds or scrambles.
We're not getting actually.

468
00:28:33,900 --> 00:28:37,500
A whole lot of passes that are
actually getting to the point.

469
00:28:37,500 --> 00:28:42,400
They need to get to and that's
disappointing at this point, you

470
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,200
know, we talked about it a
little bit on on Saturday night

471
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:46,700
and I'm just going to reiterate
it here.

472
00:28:46,700 --> 00:28:49,700
We've got to get more consistent
in our passing game.

473
00:28:49,700 --> 00:28:53,300
Got to get better separation at
the wide receiver position and

474
00:28:53,300 --> 00:28:57,700
Braxton needs to take a little
bit more risk with the football

475
00:28:57,700 --> 00:29:00,900
than he is right now, I don't
want turnovers, I don't want to

476
00:29:00,900 --> 00:29:04,800
go back to Ryan Willis, but I
need you to To push the ball a

477
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,700
little bit more right now
because we're not good enough to

478
00:29:08,700 --> 00:29:12,200
wait for that wide open man.
Sometimes you got to you got to

479
00:29:12,208 --> 00:29:15,100
put the ball and take a
calculated risk crew and we're

480
00:29:15,100 --> 00:29:18,200
going to discuss that a little
more and we get into the banquet

481
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:22,400
Alley.
We're going to get a little bit

482
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,300
more into that with the gamma
version of what we're looking

483
00:29:25,300 --> 00:29:28,600
for in the Hokies a little later
on in the program run.

484
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,800
So now guys, before we get into
Know The Enemy working at

485
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,100
Virginia tonight, Battlefield
Black Diamond trophy.

486
00:29:37,100 --> 00:29:41,200
We are going to take a quick
pause for a message from our

487
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,400
digital partners.
All right, Brian.

488
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,900
So we're going to get in here,
and we're going to start with

489
00:29:47,900 --> 00:29:51,200
the West Virginia Mountaineers
offense and knowing the enemy

490
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:52,900
and Brawn.
I want to start tonight by

491
00:29:52,900 --> 00:29:56,800
looking at West, Virginia's,
running backs and the offensive

492
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:58,900
line, and we look at the running
backs.

493
00:29:58,900 --> 00:30:02,900
We've got to look at Levi Brown
5 11 to 16.

494
00:30:02,900 --> 00:30:07,600
He was a three-star coming out
of high school, but a three-star

495
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:12,100
with offers from Bama and
University of Florida, so he

496
00:30:12,108 --> 00:30:16,500
obviously had It caught the eye
of some pretty high-end Elite

497
00:30:16,500 --> 00:30:19,200
teams when you see offers like
that.

498
00:30:19,300 --> 00:30:20,000
Okay.
Was it real?

499
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,500
Was it not real?
It's reported they at least had

500
00:30:23,500 --> 00:30:26,400
enough interest to wear it
gained it on 24/7.

501
00:30:26,900 --> 00:30:33,300
Now last year hell of a season,
1010 rushing yards about five

502
00:30:33,300 --> 00:30:39,000
point one to carry another 202,
with 31 receptions, 11

503
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:44,500
touchdowns last year, you know,
as far as the receiving goes

504
00:30:45,900 --> 00:30:48,100
kind of on the same pace for it
this year.

505
00:30:48,700 --> 00:30:50,000
What are you seeing out of Lady
Browne?

506
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:56,100
The tape he's above average.
Runner really is good.

507
00:30:56,100 --> 00:30:58,400
Between the tackles, they run a
lot of inside Zone.

508
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,600
They run that very well.
So he's going to, he's going to

509
00:31:01,608 --> 00:31:04,900
do a good job in that, making
kind of get into the second

510
00:31:04,900 --> 00:31:08,000
level making we got Miss and
stretching, you know, 5-yard

511
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:12,500
gain into a 12 or 13, yard gain.
But to me, he's a bigger threat

512
00:31:12,500 --> 00:31:17,100
in the passing game just because
they use him really extensively.

513
00:31:17,100 --> 00:31:19,700
Both in the screen game, they
swing him out, they'll put him

514
00:31:19,700 --> 00:31:21,700
in motion and get the ball to
him and space.

515
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:23,900
They do a lot of good things
with him.

516
00:31:24,500 --> 00:31:28,100
I don't see him break a ton of
big plays in the passing game,

517
00:31:28,100 --> 00:31:30,000
but he is the guy that can kind
of move.

518
00:31:30,100 --> 00:31:34,400
The sticks for them with kind of
you know that little Dash here

519
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:38,400
Dash there eight or ten yards,
scoot to the first down.

520
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,600
So that's what they really bring
to the table but their offensive

521
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:44,800
line is kind of what what keeps
that going?

522
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,000
They do a good job on the inside
Zone.

523
00:31:48,300 --> 00:31:52,800
Do a good job with the combos
inside getting to the next

524
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:56,000
level.
Giving lady Browne, some room to

525
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,000
kind of operate and make us miss
and space.

526
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,000
There.
We obviously know.

527
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:06,900
That one of our own Doug Nestor
is now playing guard for the

528
00:32:06,900 --> 00:32:10,400
Mountaineers.
Yes he is handsome made some

529
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:15,500
good classes at the offensive
line position over the last kind

530
00:32:15,500 --> 00:32:19,600
of two or three Cycles.
They're adding in Doug, just

531
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,800
kind of helps that.
So they're they're pretty good

532
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,400
unit, they're not as great in
passed through, as they are

533
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,300
running the ball, they'll allow
sex.

534
00:32:28,300 --> 00:32:32,500
And that's, you know, Pounded a
little bit by their quarterback

535
00:32:32,500 --> 00:32:38,100
and how he kind of operates.
But overall, it's going to be a

536
00:32:38,100 --> 00:32:40,600
little bit of a struggle for us,
but I think our defense and wind

537
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:46,100
is up to the task for it has an
ester actually looked, I mean do

538
00:32:46,100 --> 00:32:50,100
this, it would Doug, Nestor, be
absolutely starting somewhere on

539
00:32:50,100 --> 00:32:52,500
our line or would it be
rotational?

540
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,800
I mean, he definitely be
starting for us this year, okay?

541
00:32:56,900 --> 00:33:00,200
But at the same time I don't
necessarily see a different dog.

542
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:05,100
Mister it, West Virginia than I
saw in 2013 for the Hokies, he's

543
00:33:05,100 --> 00:33:09,200
a guy that will go out there and
get a good pancake, good

544
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:12,700
pulling, good to get into the
next level but has some lapses

545
00:33:12,700 --> 00:33:18,500
here and there and sometimes
that can you have the have the

546
00:33:18,500 --> 00:33:21,300
quarterback on his bag?
Sometimes that's just you.

547
00:33:21,300 --> 00:33:23,900
Miscommunications line of
scrimmage and that blows Running

548
00:33:23,900 --> 00:33:26,500
plays.
So, still up and down sometimes

549
00:33:26,500 --> 00:33:32,400
in terms of consistency.
But he, when he, when he plays

550
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:37,800
well, he's he's a handful, I've
got it, the offensive line, you

551
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:39,900
know.
Statistically, you know, they're

552
00:33:39,900 --> 00:33:41,400
putting up some points and
everything.

553
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,000
They have given up, five sacks,
and two games.

554
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:48,100
That's against Maryland and
that's obviously against Long

555
00:33:48,100 --> 00:33:52,400
Island University a FCS upon who
two years ago, didn't want to

556
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,700
game.
And they've given up about nine

557
00:33:55,700 --> 00:33:58,300
tackles for loss against both of
those teams.

558
00:33:58,700 --> 00:34:01,700
So one of those things to keep
an eye on them, to drop a stat

559
00:34:01,700 --> 00:34:04,300
on you a little bit later, when
we wrap up everything Braun that

560
00:34:04,300 --> 00:34:09,699
I think is going to shock you a
little bit about about that

561
00:34:09,699 --> 00:34:12,600
enough.
But let's move on Braun and

562
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:15,100
let's take a look at the wide
receiver rooms and Brawn.

563
00:34:15,100 --> 00:34:17,699
You talked about twins when we
were talking a little bit

564
00:34:17,699 --> 00:34:20,100
earlier today.
And let's talk about these

565
00:34:20,100 --> 00:34:26,100
twins, Sam james511 183.
Real three-star offers went to

566
00:34:26,100 --> 00:34:28,800
what offers from Mississippi
State and Georgia Tech.

567
00:34:29,900 --> 00:34:32,400
Really?
Not really a productive year.

568
00:34:34,500 --> 00:34:37,400
You know very productive in
2019, not really productive.

569
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:42,500
Last year, only 31 receptions
for 300 yards, 9.7 catch two

570
00:34:42,500 --> 00:34:46,699
touchdowns, the other guy, Sean
Ryan, the bigger body guy 63.

571
00:34:46,699 --> 00:34:52,000
198, 3 star also actually came
as a portal transfer over from

572
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:56,300
Temple.
Again not great stats in 2020,

573
00:34:56,699 --> 00:35:01,900
25 4269, no touchdowns.
So from these two guys I know

574
00:35:01,900 --> 00:35:03,500
you wanted to talk about them
together.

575
00:35:03,500 --> 00:35:07,200
What are you seeing on the tape?
When we see these guys lined up

576
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:12,700
near each other, So a lot of
what we're seeing is, they'll

577
00:35:12,700 --> 00:35:15,200
run, they'll put them.
Both on the same side of the

578
00:35:15,207 --> 00:35:18,700
formation, they run a lot of
knife route Concepts.

579
00:35:18,700 --> 00:35:23,900
So they're running one of them
either on a slant or some sort

580
00:35:23,900 --> 00:35:26,700
of inside play, Within the other
ones running a corner.

581
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:30,200
They're trying to get you the
outside guy on the inside guy to

582
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,400
get rubbed.
So they can get kind of a free

583
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:36,200
release, they've had a lot of
success against Maryland doing

584
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:38,900
that especially in the first
half.

585
00:35:39,900 --> 00:35:42,600
Barely kind of adjusted to it in
the second half when a lot more

586
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:46,100
Zone Concepts in that took away
a little bit of that, they were

587
00:35:46,100 --> 00:35:47,900
still able to get some
completions but they weren't

588
00:35:47,900 --> 00:35:51,100
able to kind of bust them for
big plays over to middleware,

589
00:35:51,100 --> 00:35:55,200
big plays down the sideline.
But Sam James is a little bit

590
00:35:55,200 --> 00:36:00,000
more of the athlete but Shawn
Ryan is is the guy that he

591
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,000
doesn't get a ton of ton of
caches but when he does, they

592
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:04,800
usually go for pretty big
yardage.

593
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:09,000
He said to plays over 30 yards
in two games so far.

594
00:36:09,500 --> 00:36:12,400
Not a ton of catches but he's
doing something with it.

595
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,900
Every time he gets his hand on
the ball, James is definitely

596
00:36:15,900 --> 00:36:19,300
more of the kind of the steady,
Eddie the consistent guy, but he

597
00:36:19,300 --> 00:36:22,600
is a big play threat as well
because of his speed.

598
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:26,600
So, both of those are guys to
watch the other person, I will

599
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:31,600
mention in this wide.
Receiver core is Winston right

600
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:32,900
jr.
And I know you've seen the

601
00:36:32,900 --> 00:36:35,700
highlights.
A lot of those are going to be,

602
00:36:36,100 --> 00:36:38,600
he's going to do some good
things in the passing game for

603
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,300
them.
But but primarily he is a weapon

604
00:36:41,300 --> 00:36:45,200
in the Special Teams.
Absolutely punt returner and

605
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:49,900
kick returner had two big kick
returns against.

606
00:36:49,900 --> 00:36:55,100
Maryland did muff a punt though
so that that resulted in a

607
00:36:55,107 --> 00:36:56,700
turnover.
So that's something to watch as

608
00:36:56,700 --> 00:37:00,000
well but if he gets his hands on
the ball, he can be a threat.

609
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,400
So we got to make sure that
we're doing well in our coverage

610
00:37:03,700 --> 00:37:08,600
on both kick return or kickoff
and on a punt.

611
00:37:08,700 --> 00:37:10,300
Yeah.
Hello, needs to get it to the

612
00:37:10,300 --> 00:37:13,500
back of the end zone Brown
because it's not a, this isn't a

613
00:37:13,500 --> 00:37:18,300
one trick pony with Winston.
Right the 59 180 three-star, his

614
00:37:18,300 --> 00:37:23,900
career, he's returned 33
kickoffs for 925 yards.

615
00:37:23,900 --> 00:37:28,100
He's almost averaging 30 yards
every time he takes one out of

616
00:37:28,100 --> 00:37:31,900
the end zone, which is that's a,
that's an obscene number, in my

617
00:37:31,900 --> 00:37:35,200
opinion, in today's age, he's
ran to back to the house.

618
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:39,900
We obviously saw one already
this year, one, that was Close.

619
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,400
We haven't seen him as much in
the, we hadn't didn't see him a

620
00:37:44,408 --> 00:37:48,200
lot in the Maryland game but
last year I mean he can he can

621
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:51,800
definitely hold his own as far
as you know, being a receiver

622
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:56,400
being a threat, forty seven
receptions last year for 553

623
00:37:56,400 --> 00:38:00,700
yards, One Touch.
So I'm kind of seeing maybe with

624
00:38:00,700 --> 00:38:06,200
that may be little more gadgety
with his size and his speed and

625
00:38:06,300 --> 00:38:08,700
you know, but Romeo's got to
send it.

626
00:38:09,300 --> 00:38:13,700
Let that mean.
Touch the ball any, as far as

627
00:38:13,700 --> 00:38:17,700
our punter goes, Peter more
Peter more, keep doing what

628
00:38:17,700 --> 00:38:21,600
you're doing, because if you
have not been booming on letting

629
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,500
the covers team get there, you
have been putting good angles on

630
00:38:24,500 --> 00:38:27,100
them, I think, Peter more.
This is going to put more in the

631
00:38:27,107 --> 00:38:31,100
Hokies talk as a freshman.
He is a true five star punter

632
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:34,300
because he's coming in and do it
exactly what you expect.

633
00:38:34,300 --> 00:38:36,300
Somebody that's done the job for
three years.

634
00:38:36,300 --> 00:38:38,400
Like, Bradburn it done.
Yeah.

635
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:39,100
Yeah.
He's done a good job.

636
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,200
Job so far.
I mean, the only thing you got

637
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,400
to worry about with the
punished, you know, make sure

638
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,900
that there's enough air time if
you do.

639
00:38:45,900 --> 00:38:48,200
Boom it so you're not out
kicking the coverage there.

640
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,300
Exactly.
All right, let's turn it.

641
00:38:51,300 --> 00:38:55,300
Let's look at the quarterback.
Jared Dodge was a 3-star

642
00:38:55,300 --> 00:39:07,600
transferred from Delhi.
Diggy Dives 2010 D-Day geeky guy

643
00:39:08,100 --> 00:39:11,700
from Bowl.
Green back in 2018.

644
00:39:11,700 --> 00:39:15,000
Had a really good season with
Bowling Green, 27 touchdowns 14

645
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:19,500
interceptions in last year solid
season with West Virginia, you

646
00:39:19,500 --> 00:39:26,000
know, 63% 63 percent completion
percentage 2,500 plus yards, 14

647
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:31,000
touchdowns for interceptions,
obviously his brother played

648
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:37,600
Seth played down at Texas Tech.
So Brian, what are you seeing

649
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:39,000
from sip?
Not Seth.

650
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:42,800
With Jared wrong Duty.
What are you seeing from him?

651
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:48,200
On tape, he's not a great
athlete, but he is good.

652
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,500
Enough to scrambling.
Get a first down here there.

653
00:39:50,500 --> 00:39:55,300
So we're not preparing for any
sort of mobile quarterback, but

654
00:39:55,300 --> 00:39:58,700
he does have a little bit of at,
which he does have a good feel

655
00:39:58,700 --> 00:40:00,600
of went to take off and get the
first down.

656
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:04,400
If he needs to, he does really
well with the clean pocket,

657
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:10,500
delivers an accurate Ball.
But when the Gets a little bit

658
00:40:10,500 --> 00:40:13,000
muddled, that's when he
struggles.

659
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,900
He's thrown a couple pics that
I've seen early in this year

660
00:40:16,900 --> 00:40:19,300
already.
When, when the pocket gets

661
00:40:19,300 --> 00:40:23,500
crowded there he gets contacted.
So it's going to be interesting

662
00:40:23,500 --> 00:40:27,200
to see what we do.
We really need to get pressure

663
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:30,600
on him, the sum of their, some
of their skiing.

664
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,900
With that power power rate is,
is what is kind of call.

665
00:40:33,900 --> 00:40:38,000
They're combining the power run
with the air raid.

666
00:40:39,900 --> 00:40:43,000
He does a good job running that
and they mix in some RPO

667
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:46,000
elements a lot of inside Zone
and counter.

668
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:49,700
And then, you know, they throw
the ball off, play action with

669
00:40:49,700 --> 00:40:51,200
it.
And I think the play action is

670
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:52,900
where we play action.
In.

671
00:40:52,900 --> 00:40:55,000
Our PO is where we could
potentially get burned.

672
00:40:55,200 --> 00:41:00,300
I think if we just line up,
we're going to hold the whole,

673
00:41:00,300 --> 00:41:02,700
The Zone and check.
And I think we'll hold just the

674
00:41:02,700 --> 00:41:06,500
the five-step drop in check, but
we need to make sure that we're

675
00:41:06,500 --> 00:41:09,000
not out of position.
When you can, we get some runs.

676
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:14,400
Action or that are po going.
I hear that something else I'll

677
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,600
make a point on Brian because
you pulled up a couple clips and

678
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:21,700
showed me a couple days ago in
not necessarily a clean pocket

679
00:41:21,700 --> 00:41:25,700
but he doesn't really have his
pocket Mobility is bad.

680
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,500
Like I remember there was one
playing you we showed him like

681
00:41:29,500 --> 00:41:32,600
Brian why doesn't he just like
all he had to do was kind of a

682
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:36,800
couple steps left.
We could have reset his feet and

683
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:38,700
fired instead like the guys
coming.

684
00:41:38,700 --> 00:41:43,100
It's like oh God throat.
And he did that numerous times.

685
00:41:43,100 --> 00:41:47,900
So I think for us it's it's not
only keeping the pocket clean

686
00:41:47,900 --> 00:41:51,900
but just making the noise of
being there because he clearly

687
00:41:51,900 --> 00:41:57,100
does not have the capability to
just didn't see him step up, you

688
00:41:57,100 --> 00:42:01,300
didn't see him slide left or
slide right as much as we want

689
00:42:01,300 --> 00:42:05,300
to knock Braxton, we've seen him
slide left slide right, we slim

690
00:42:05,300 --> 00:42:07,800
slide up in the pocket and then
take off and run.

691
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:12,500
Jared doesn't do that in.
You know, the one thing that

692
00:42:12,500 --> 00:42:16,200
I've been looking at Braun is
this, alright.

693
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:19,400
So we're not even going to look
at Liu right?

694
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:24,800
The laura-leigh ER it's given up
14 either Sachs or tackles for

695
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:26,800
loss plays in the backfield.
Yep.

696
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:31,400
Maryland in two games, has a
combined 15.

697
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,300
What are those games against
Howard?

698
00:42:35,300 --> 00:42:36,700
And they blew the doors off of
them.

699
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:40,200
You care to guess how many
Virginia Tech has between sacks

700
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:46,400
and tackles for loss in two
games. 22:27.

701
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:52,500
Okay.
Non-sex 18 tackles for loss?

702
00:42:53,300 --> 00:42:56,600
So, when I'm starting to look at
this, in just like its

703
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:58,900
comparative.
Analysis is saying, well, the

704
00:42:58,900 --> 00:43:03,700
one team that they play with
division, one Talent only has 15

705
00:43:03,700 --> 00:43:05,700
for the year, they're not doing
a whole lot.

706
00:43:06,300 --> 00:43:10,000
You're about to bring
essentially a much better

707
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:13,500
defensive line who is getting
into the back.

708
00:43:13,700 --> 00:43:19,100
Field and bringing people down.
Not even counting quarterback

709
00:43:19,100 --> 00:43:22,700
hits or pressures.
So, when I'm thinking about

710
00:43:22,700 --> 00:43:27,000
Jared and his a kind of has a
Mobility unless he absolutely

711
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:30,300
has to, or his bad pocket,
awareness.

712
00:43:31,700 --> 00:43:35,700
I have a feeling that that lines
going to get ate all day.

713
00:43:38,300 --> 00:43:41,400
Or ate a lot of the day order.
He's going to be taking some

714
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:43,800
absolute hits as he's letting go
of the ball.

715
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:46,900
Yeah, I think that's the thing.
We definitely have to do.

716
00:43:46,900 --> 00:43:49,000
We've got to be able to get
pressure with for like we did

717
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:53,100
against you and see you know,
they're going to run that RPO a

718
00:43:53,100 --> 00:43:55,800
little bit.
So we I think we can bring a

719
00:43:55,800 --> 00:44:01,000
similar type type game plan to
the table to try to slow these

720
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:04,100
guys down.
The question is going to be?

721
00:44:04,100 --> 00:44:08,900
Can we consistently get home
with the with the defense with

722
00:44:08,900 --> 00:44:11,100
the defense of wine?
Especially just bringing for,

723
00:44:11,900 --> 00:44:15,900
I'd like us to be less familiar.
Nila this week obviously

724
00:44:15,900 --> 00:44:20,800
compared to what we did last
week, making better be make some

725
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,100
more stunts.
Some of the The Zone Blitz, some

726
00:44:23,100 --> 00:44:27,700
of the delay Blitz but I don't
think we need to Blitz a lot.

727
00:44:27,700 --> 00:44:30,400
I want to completely get
pressure with for and make sure

728
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:32,900
that we're we got the coverage
going in the back.

729
00:44:32,900 --> 00:44:36,600
And we keep the run and check
because we can keep the run in

730
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:40,400
check.
Then again like we did against

731
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:43,200
UNC, we make that offense
one-dimensional, it's a whole

732
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:46,100
lot easier to stop.
Abso-freakin'-lutely.

733
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:49,500
All right, now that we closed
down the offense and give you

734
00:44:49,500 --> 00:44:51,100
some names and things to look
for it.

735
00:44:51,100 --> 00:44:56,200
Let's flip it over to the
defense bar on the wonderful 335

736
00:44:56,200 --> 00:45:02,200
stack, and let's start taking a
look.

737
00:45:02,700 --> 00:45:07,800
I want to give the guys name and
the position, but I want you to

738
00:45:07,808 --> 00:45:11,800
explain what it is before you
get into too deep so actually.

739
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:18,400
So let's do this first.
The Darius Calhoun 64 245, he

740
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:22,300
plays the Bandit position.
He's a star transfer from

741
00:45:22,300 --> 00:45:26,000
Alabama, the sky was a top
hundred pledges few years ago in

742
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:29,500
the country.
He only had about eight games

743
00:45:29,500 --> 00:45:32,800
prior to this season between
Alabama and West.

744
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:36,900
Virginia 14, tackles
five-and-a-half tackles for

745
00:45:36,900 --> 00:45:38,600
loss, three sacks, one, fourth
Rumble.

746
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:42,700
So not a lot of production and
just a few games there.

747
00:45:43,500 --> 00:45:45,600
But before you get into what
you're seeing, On him.

748
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:48,900
What exactly does that Bandit
position do for West Virginia?

749
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,800
So let's start with with the
actual defense and I can kind of

750
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:54,300
break down with the band it
does.

751
00:45:54,300 --> 00:46:02,400
So the defense is really a
multiple front 34 base so they

752
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:05,300
run, they'll run the 34
alignment.

753
00:46:05,300 --> 00:46:07,100
They'll have a 33 stack
alignment.

754
00:46:07,100 --> 00:46:12,400
They'll have a 42 alignment so
you're going to see various

755
00:46:12,700 --> 00:46:16,600
fronts but their base is kind of
a Hybrid 34.

756
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:21,300
And what Bend areas kaolians
position is, is the Bandit,

757
00:46:21,700 --> 00:46:26,300
which is a hybrid, 34 edge,
meaning that, you know, if

758
00:46:26,300 --> 00:46:30,500
they're, if they're front is the
42, he's either a stand-up or

759
00:46:30,500 --> 00:46:35,800
hand in the dirt defensive end.
If it is the 34 base, he's more

760
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:39,400
of a traditional Edge rusher
outside linebacker.

761
00:46:40,300 --> 00:46:47,100
He will be kind of the backer.
If We're translating it to hokey

762
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:50,200
speak here, he'd be the backer
in the 42 alignment.

763
00:46:50,500 --> 00:46:52,400
So there's a lot of things that
he can do.

764
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:58,800
In this in this alignment, but
he's really the hybrid player up

765
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:01,300
front.
That enables them to kind of

766
00:47:01,300 --> 00:47:06,700
have that multiple front and not
really skip a beat All right.

767
00:47:07,500 --> 00:47:09,000
What have you seen from him on
tape?

768
00:47:09,300 --> 00:47:12,600
I mean is he is he disruptive as
he better in coverage as you

769
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:16,500
better play more the true backer
and position the for to these

770
00:47:16,500 --> 00:47:19,100
versatile buddies that he's much
better when he's attacking

771
00:47:19,100 --> 00:47:24,500
forward then he is in coverage.
Okay so even if he is at that

772
00:47:24,500 --> 00:47:27,600
linebacker in the three threes
at the linebacker, if he's in

773
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:33,700
the for to weave on the edge, He
likes to attack at the line of

774
00:47:33,700 --> 00:47:37,100
scrimmage and get tackles for
loss.

775
00:47:37,100 --> 00:47:40,500
That's that's his bread and
butter, but he does pretty good,

776
00:47:40,900 --> 00:47:43,400
especially when he's, he has to
do limited things in coverage,

777
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:46,900
like, cover the flat, he does
that very well.

778
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,800
He's got enough athleticism to
stick with a tight end in that

779
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:53,800
space and stick with a running
back in that space gets a

780
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:58,600
little, not, not 100% great when
it's not Zone.

781
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:01,700
When it's, when he's locked up
deeper down the The field in a

782
00:48:01,700 --> 00:48:05,100
man situation but he doesn't
have to do that a ton with the

783
00:48:05,100 --> 00:48:08,300
way they kind of scheme for him.
Got it.

784
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:11,700
Alright.
Now let's take a look at Scotty

785
00:48:11,700 --> 00:48:17,700
young who plays the spear
position 510 207 pounds 3 star.

786
00:48:17,700 --> 00:48:22,700
He was an Arizona Wildcat
transfer so West Coast to East

787
00:48:22,700 --> 00:48:25,600
Coast.
Very good 2019 because he had to

788
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:28,400
sit out 2020 with the trains for
twenty nineteen, sixty six,

789
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:34,100
tackles two and a half tackles
for loss and then Shin I guess

790
00:48:34,100 --> 00:48:36,700
it's Wayne spear first and then
what you think from Scotty on

791
00:48:36,700 --> 00:48:43,200
tape spear the best way to think
of it is very similar to the

792
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:44,800
Whip and what the whip used to
be.

793
00:48:45,900 --> 00:48:50,000
You're talking about a hybrid
safety linebacker that likes to

794
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,600
play in the box.
So it depending on what what

795
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:56,700
front they're going is going to
vary whether he's playing more

796
00:48:56,700 --> 00:49:01,000
of a nickel type role of safety
type role or a true in the Box.

797
00:49:01,100 --> 00:49:04,700
Linebacker type role.
But those two positions, the

798
00:49:04,700 --> 00:49:08,300
Bandit in the spear combined is
kind of what what allows them to

799
00:49:08,300 --> 00:49:10,400
to go.
Those multiple fronts because

800
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:12,800
they can kind of switch the
alignments up and really not

801
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:15,200
miss a beat.
So you got to have versatile

802
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:18,200
players at those two positions
and Scotty young is a versatile

803
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:20,800
player.
Definitely a guy that likes to

804
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:26,700
hit makes good plays in the
running game, probably a little

805
00:49:26,700 --> 00:49:29,200
stronger in the running game
than he is in coverage.

806
00:49:29,500 --> 00:49:33,500
Similar to cow and But he's not
a liability in coverage, but he

807
00:49:33,500 --> 00:49:39,300
will get beat on occasion, but
definitely in the Run game, he's

808
00:49:39,300 --> 00:49:42,200
kind of the spill guy.
He's the guy that, you know,

809
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:44,700
when they wash it outside, he
comes in and cleans it up.

810
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:52,500
Alright, tape.
You know, you know, is the tape.

811
00:49:53,900 --> 00:49:58,000
Average, above average.
Would you want to be above

812
00:49:58,000 --> 00:49:59,300
average player?
Okay.

813
00:49:59,700 --> 00:50:01,900
Yeah he's definitely above
average player.

814
00:50:02,300 --> 00:50:05,200
More Mega said he will.
He will he will occasionally get

815
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:08,800
beaten coverage but not anymore
than, you know.

816
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:11,700
Shamari Connor does but he's
kind of not quite the hitter

817
00:50:11,700 --> 00:50:15,300
that Shamari is but definitely
is good in terms of tackling and

818
00:50:15,300 --> 00:50:16,900
coming up and making the play,
like he is.

819
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:19,000
Alright?
So we've kind of looked at a

820
00:50:19,008 --> 00:50:23,700
defensive lineman, / linebacker,
we kind of looked at a T. /

821
00:50:23,700 --> 00:50:26,000
linebacker.
Let's look at the two safeties

822
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:30,700
because me, and you took some
time and looked on tape with

823
00:50:30,700 --> 00:50:33,500
these two guys.
And if there's anywhere, I think

824
00:50:33,500 --> 00:50:35,400
we can attack its with these two
Gentlemen.

825
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:39,400
Let's start with the free
safety, Sean my home. 511 200

826
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:45,100
pounds 3 star had offers from UK
and Cincinnati, when he came out

827
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:48,200
his 2020.
Season 53, tackles two tackles

828
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:51,100
for loss in an interception.
But Brown, we looked at the

829
00:50:51,100 --> 00:50:58,700
tape, it was Either good and
solid or yeah, yeah, very feast

830
00:50:58,700 --> 00:51:03,300
or famine.
He had a couple good plays where

831
00:51:03,300 --> 00:51:04,600
he was, right?
Where you need to be in

832
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:05,800
coverage.
Wouldn't made the play?

833
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:09,700
And then there was there was one
play where he was in a cover to

834
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:14,500
Lost leverage just had a had a
big clean run for a touchdown

835
00:51:14,500 --> 00:51:18,000
for one of the Maryland
receivers on a corner route that

836
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:22,000
probably should have been only
been a 25-yard gain.

837
00:51:22,100 --> 00:51:25,300
Not a 50-yard touchdown.
Yeah.

838
00:51:25,300 --> 00:51:30,700
So It's really very much.
Both of these safeties are kind

839
00:51:30,700 --> 00:51:34,100
of feast or famine.
They make solid plays, they come

840
00:51:34,100 --> 00:51:38,100
up, make big plays, good fits in
the running game and then you

841
00:51:38,100 --> 00:51:41,000
know they'll have a handful of
plays a game where you're just

842
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:43,300
scratching your head like how
did you let that happen?

843
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:48,200
Yeah, you know with with the way
we're going to talk about the

844
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:50,700
other Alonso die in just a
second but with the play that

845
00:51:50,700 --> 00:51:53,800
you show with Mahone and a
couple other plays, it's he's

846
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:57,700
essentially It's not
significantly out of position,

847
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:02,500
but if a, the right play is
called and he's where he is on

848
00:52:02,500 --> 00:52:06,600
some of those, it's a massive
game, it was a it was a

849
00:52:06,607 --> 00:52:10,000
situational thing.
It was very much a, he misread

850
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:13,500
the situation, didn't get enough
depth wasn't where he needed to

851
00:52:13,508 --> 00:52:18,300
be in relationship to the hash
and that gave too much of a, of

852
00:52:18,300 --> 00:52:20,600
a window to throw the ball
towards the sideline.

853
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:23,100
Yeah.
All right, let's talk about

854
00:52:23,100 --> 00:52:27,300
Alonzo with that 510.
In 1986 2020.

855
00:52:27,300 --> 00:52:32,000
Really good season. 66 tackles
two interceptions in a forced.

856
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:36,300
Fumble.
I don't I feel like you looked

857
00:52:36,300 --> 00:52:39,200
at his place more than me.
I remember the Mahone plays?

858
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:42,400
What do we see out of a die in
the good and the bad?

859
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:47,800
So the good is that he is a very
willing tackle tackle, he will

860
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:51,800
get up in there in the box and
make plays in the running game.

861
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:55,900
The problem I saw was some
inconsistency with his run fits

862
00:52:56,600 --> 00:53:00,600
a couple times kind of getting
kind of approaching the box but

863
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:04,800
then kind of getting caught in
the wash and not getting to the

864
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:07,600
fit to make the play.
Was he was that that running

865
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:08,600
play.
We looked at where he

866
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:10,900
essentially followed the
linebacker versus going to the

867
00:53:10,900 --> 00:53:13,300
correct Gap, that's correct.
Yeah.

868
00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:16,900
There was a, there was a couple
other plays that were similar to

869
00:53:16,900 --> 00:53:19,500
that but that that one
definitely stood out.

870
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:23,200
Well, when we looked, if he was
a little bit more patient with

871
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:27,000
we're especially considering
where the gaps were opening in

872
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:29,100
the blocking scheme, if he was a
little bit more patient, he

873
00:53:29,107 --> 00:53:31,200
would have been able to make the
play there and make the tackle,

874
00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:34,100
even if it was only for, you
know, five to eight yard gain,

875
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:37,800
turned out to be about a 25 or
30 yard gain on that running

876
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:39,000
play.
If I'm not mistaken.

877
00:53:39,500 --> 00:53:41,200
All right.
Just, you know, the difference

878
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:43,100
between doing the fundamental
things, right?

879
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:47,200
Yeah, and when you we saw that
play, Brian, I had the

880
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:50,600
flashbacks to you and see
because it looked like how do we

881
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:55,600
looked against you and see in
2020 where guys were just in the

882
00:53:55,600 --> 00:54:00,100
wrong spots?
Massive gaps opening and again

883
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:04,400
you kind of pointed out it's
like he's got a hesitate and I

884
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:06,900
think it goes back to what you
said he's willing to look for

885
00:54:06,900 --> 00:54:10,800
contact and sometimes with guys
like that you see it.

886
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:14,100
They're looking for the contact
versus the hesitation and fine.

887
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:18,500
Adding where to go and that case
it look like he trusted his

888
00:54:18,500 --> 00:54:21,300
instincts and not his eyes and
his eyes told him something

889
00:54:21,300 --> 00:54:25,900
completely different than his
instincts told him and sometimes

890
00:54:25,900 --> 00:54:29,500
instincts are big, but some guys
play with instincts and that's

891
00:54:29,500 --> 00:54:30,800
good.
If they're if their instincts

892
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:34,100
are consistent but sometimes
when they're not you're going to

893
00:54:34,300 --> 00:54:37,100
have yourself out of position on
these plays and that can that

894
00:54:37,100 --> 00:54:41,000
can create some big gains if
things aren't flush across the

895
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:43,900
front six or seven there, Very
true.

896
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:46,600
Alright, so that's going to
close no.

897
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:51,200
The enemy on the defensive side
of the ball, as we did last

898
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:55,200
week, we have a hokey version.
This is the Hokey gamma version

899
00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:57,400
we've seen Alpha.
We've seen beta.

900
00:54:57,500 --> 00:55:00,500
We are at Gamma and Brian.
We're going to start with the

901
00:55:00,500 --> 00:55:04,100
offense.
Watching the Maryland tape.

902
00:55:05,100 --> 00:55:09,700
Yep.
A it made you happy because I

903
00:55:09,700 --> 00:55:14,000
think you know, these are in our
Arsenal, what do we need to run

904
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:19,100
the damn screens run?
The damn screens multiple, we

905
00:55:19,100 --> 00:55:22,500
should be able to scream and
short pass, this team all day.

906
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:27,100
I know we're talking about we
want to get more things involved

907
00:55:27,100 --> 00:55:30,300
in the in the passing game.
The best way to get things

908
00:55:30,300 --> 00:55:35,200
involved in the passing game is
give Braxton some easy reads

909
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:38,400
early in the game just like you
did against you NC and get his

910
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:40,100
ass comfortable.
Yep.

911
00:55:40,100 --> 00:55:43,100
And get them two guys who can
make things happen.

912
00:55:43,700 --> 00:55:47,800
Blackshear trait, a don't be
afraid to give Caleb Smith a

913
00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:52,200
chance, don't be afraid to give
potentially Keshawn King, one of

914
00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:54,500
the screens that were set up in
the Maryland game.

915
00:55:54,900 --> 00:55:59,500
I mean, it the way their
defense, their defense looks so

916
00:55:59,500 --> 00:56:02,500
unprepared for it.
Yeah, they ran a tunnel that

917
00:56:02,500 --> 00:56:04,800
went for big yards.
They ran a tight end throwback

918
00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:07,400
that went for big yards.
They ran a running back.

919
00:56:07,500 --> 00:56:08,900
Bringing that went for pretty
good.

920
00:56:08,900 --> 00:56:13,000
Yardage couple flares that went
the win for pretty decent

921
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:15,800
yardage so we'll be able to do
some short passing game.

922
00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:19,800
Things against this defense, we
need to be consistent with it

923
00:56:19,900 --> 00:56:23,300
and we need to Pepper it in
early to get Braxton comfortable

924
00:56:23,300 --> 00:56:25,700
with the game plan.
Absolutely.

925
00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:31,000
Now, the second part of this
puzzle is something.

926
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:33,600
We saw one time versus Middle,
Tennessee, State.

927
00:56:33,700 --> 00:56:39,900
It was the jet Suite game.
City with Brian Tuesday after

928
00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:44,600
afternoon and Tuesday afternoon.
Yeah, and he's showing me some

929
00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:51,500
of the plays and, The Motions
completely screwed.

930
00:56:51,500 --> 00:56:54,000
They're essentially, their
second level up.

931
00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:57,500
We saw it, we already talked
about a die making mistakes.

932
00:56:57,700 --> 00:57:00,400
When you give them the window
dressing and removing players,

933
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:02,600
they are going to the wrong
gaps.

934
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:07,400
If for nothing else, even if we
only hand the ball off, three

935
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:10,900
times on a Jet Sweep, giving
that motion is going to give

936
00:57:10,900 --> 00:57:14,000
space.
To our running game on the

937
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:15,200
inside, right?
Ron.

938
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:18,700
Yeah, yeah.
We talked about the Jet Sweep

939
00:57:18,700 --> 00:57:22,000
All the Time.
Loved it or hated we've seen.

940
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:24,600
We've seen that.
It's an efficient play.

941
00:57:24,700 --> 00:57:28,100
I know that James Mitchell got
hurt on the Jet Sweep, so we're

942
00:57:28,100 --> 00:57:32,000
not going to talk about that,
but we need to talk about is

943
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:34,100
that consistently.
We've done good things with the

944
00:57:34,100 --> 00:57:39,100
jet Suite, it helps open up
Avenues and alleys to run in our

945
00:57:39,100 --> 00:57:43,300
offense, it does a good job of
kind of Getting outside of the

946
00:57:43,300 --> 00:57:48,500
box with the ball quickly.
As long as we can get that Ali

947
00:57:48,500 --> 00:57:50,500
block properly.
It's a pretty good play.

948
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:53,200
We've had a lot of success in
the Red Zone.

949
00:57:53,700 --> 00:57:58,700
I think this these linebackers
and the the spear in particular

950
00:57:58,700 --> 00:58:02,000
can be influenced by the window
dressing that we like to use.

951
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:04,100
So I'm hoping that we take
advantage of that with the Jet

952
00:58:04,100 --> 00:58:05,700
Sweep and some other motion that
we run.

953
00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:12,700
But Brian, what what has to
happen with our quarterback?

954
00:58:14,300 --> 00:58:16,500
He's gonna have to pull the damn
trigger on some mid-level

955
00:58:16,500 --> 00:58:19,400
passes, you know, I don't know
if we necessarily need to take

956
00:58:19,400 --> 00:58:23,700
the ball, deep down the field, a
lot against this team and

957
00:58:23,700 --> 00:58:25,600
especially without James
Mitchell, I don't see us

958
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:28,900
attacking deep down the middle
of the field against this team

959
00:58:28,900 --> 00:58:31,900
consistently.
But I what I would like to see

960
00:58:31,900 --> 00:58:35,900
is us working.
The mid-level passing game

961
00:58:36,100 --> 00:58:40,900
inside the numbers, and inside
the hash, Is to keep them

962
00:58:40,900 --> 00:58:43,500
honest.
So we can still have that short

963
00:58:43,500 --> 00:58:47,500
passing game to get outside the
hashes in the numbers, to take

964
00:58:47,500 --> 00:58:49,600
advantage of their weakness.
Yep.

965
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:53,400
In, we've always known how risk
adverse they want our

966
00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:58,000
quarterbacks to be.
And, and luckily, for what they

967
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:01,800
said, he talked about, you know,
we value protecting the ball,

968
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:03,800
but sometimes you've got to
throw the ball.

969
00:59:04,500 --> 00:59:08,900
I enjoyed hearing him say that
because we think it as fans.

970
00:59:08,900 --> 00:59:10,000
Yeah.
It's cool to protect the ball

971
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:12,300
but sometimes you got to throw
it and when your head coach is

972
00:59:12,300 --> 00:59:14,400
saying that it's almost like a
trigger, right?

973
00:59:14,700 --> 00:59:17,300
I should be a trigger for
Braxton Burmeister protected,

974
00:59:17,300 --> 00:59:19,500
don't throw anything stupid by
all means.

975
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:23,100
Yeah, as you said a little
earlier Braun, you can't wait

976
00:59:23,100 --> 00:59:27,000
for it to come completely open.
You have to anticipate that when

977
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:31,700
Trey runs a 10-yard in, he's
going to get the ten yard in.

978
00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:34,600
He's going to be this guy.
Put it where he can run with it.

979
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:39,000
That's your job.
Yeah, I would much rather brag.

980
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:41,800
Burmeister take a calculated
risk with the ball.

981
00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:46,400
While the pocket is still clean.
Then go on the run and try to

982
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:50,900
get rid of it as someone's
bearing down on him in a

983
00:59:50,900 --> 00:59:55,200
scramble drill, right?
Yeah, I would much rather a

984
00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:58,000
clean pocket where you can step
into the throw and it's a

985
00:59:58,008 --> 01:00:01,200
calculated risk, where more than
likely, it's either a catcher.

986
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:04,600
An incompletion right, true?
And we, and we've had a

987
01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:07,200
relatively clean pocket.
We've only given up two sacks

988
01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:08,800
and two games.
Yeah.

989
01:00:09,100 --> 01:00:11,800
And there's because if some of
that is Braxton being Elusive

990
01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:15,100
and getting out, but some mean
some of it is just we hold the

991
01:00:15,100 --> 01:00:18,900
pocket for long enough for him
to at least get rid of the ball

992
01:00:18,900 --> 01:00:20,500
or get the ball down, feel
right?

993
01:00:20,700 --> 01:00:23,800
And and it's not going.
Alright.

994
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:26,900
Brandade we've got actually get
the ball down field to the

995
01:00:26,900 --> 01:00:31,600
receiver on time, within the
framework of the play call.

996
01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:35,800
Yep.
We can't just be top top, top of

997
01:00:35,808 --> 01:00:39,000
the drop, it's not there.
Alright, so now I'm going

998
01:00:39,700 --> 01:00:42,500
Scramble a little bit roll
outside, and try to get rid of

999
01:00:42,500 --> 01:00:45,200
it.
Downfield to Caleb Smith, trying

1000
01:00:45,200 --> 01:00:47,700
to get open or James Mitchell,
trying to get up.

1001
01:00:47,700 --> 01:00:54,000
Like it's, we can get some big
plays that way at some point,

1002
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:56,000
but we've got to be consistent
with the passing game because

1003
01:00:56,000 --> 01:00:59,300
they're just they're just
looking for for those things

1004
01:00:59,300 --> 01:01:01,600
that we're being inconsistent
with because they're taking it

1005
01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:05,500
away in the first couple seconds
and then bracks is just going

1006
01:01:05,500 --> 01:01:07,700
away from it.
Yep, very true.

1007
01:01:08,300 --> 01:01:09,800
All right.
One One last piece.

1008
01:01:09,800 --> 01:01:16,500
We're looking for this week.
Is someone Whether it be Trey

1009
01:01:16,500 --> 01:01:22,100
Turner, Savion Robinson, Raheem
Blackshear, somebody has to get

1010
01:01:22,100 --> 01:01:25,100
in all 100 yards, all purposed,
yep.

1011
01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:28,300
Against this defense.
And what we have seen on the

1012
01:01:28,300 --> 01:01:34,000
tape and how they reacted
against Maryland, I'd like one.

1013
01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:38,900
I think there's a potential for
to, if we execute our game plan,

1014
01:01:38,900 --> 01:01:44,700
at the highest level and I, and
we have the guys who can do it.

1015
01:01:44,700 --> 01:01:49,100
It's just Get them the ball.
Yeah, I think I think probably

1016
01:01:49,100 --> 01:01:51,900
Blackshear and Taylor Robinson
are probably the most likely

1017
01:01:51,900 --> 01:01:55,900
candidates for this, although
the the wild-card being tray

1018
01:01:55,900 --> 01:01:59,600
with with any sort of Jet Sweep,
that he takes her big yardage

1019
01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:01,800
that he can actually do.
Yep.

1020
01:02:02,300 --> 01:02:05,600
I'd like to see one of those
three go over 100.

1021
01:02:05,600 --> 01:02:10,900
Hopefully, two of them.
Two of them would mean big, big

1022
01:02:10,900 --> 01:02:13,800
things.
All right, Ron, let's look at

1023
01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:18,900
the defense real quick and let's
talk about that.

1024
01:02:18,900 --> 01:02:21,500
Secondary you already talked
about the way they like to run

1025
01:02:21,500 --> 01:02:24,700
the pick plays.
What what do we have to do this

1026
01:02:24,700 --> 01:02:27,900
week against them greed?
React.

1027
01:02:27,900 --> 01:02:31,000
Make sure that we're passing off
our our men properly.

1028
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:34,300
So we don't have any big gaps
for them to throw a big windows.

1029
01:02:34,300 --> 01:02:39,000
I should say for them to throw
the ball into We probably won't

1030
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:43,000
go man a lot especially when
they send those two wide

1031
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:46,800
receivers to the same side just
because of the way they like to

1032
01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:51,400
run those knife routes to that
side.

1033
01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:56,300
But again the sound keep
everything in front of you, make

1034
01:02:56,300 --> 01:03:01,400
the tackle All right, and
something.

1035
01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:04,500
We've alluded to earlier already
another big piece of the gamma

1036
01:03:04,500 --> 01:03:10,300
version for the defense is going
to be get Gyarados off the spot.

1037
01:03:10,700 --> 01:03:13,000
We've already talked about how
he's not a runner.

1038
01:03:13,700 --> 01:03:17,200
And we've also discussed looking
at the tape that he's not gray

1039
01:03:17,200 --> 01:03:19,600
good at moving around in the
pocket.

1040
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:23,800
So if you move him and get him
without setting his feet, It's

1041
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:26,400
the, it's what you do in
college.

1042
01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:29,000
You make some bad decisions.
Yeah.

1043
01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:31,800
And we're gonna have to do a
better job than we did against

1044
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:34,000
Bailey Hockman.
Last week of doing that.

1045
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:35,900
I think we can definitely pull
that off.

1046
01:03:36,600 --> 01:03:41,500
We saw that Middle Tennessee was
running a lot of a lot of help

1047
01:03:41,500 --> 01:03:44,100
to kind of keep some of that in
check there.

1048
01:03:44,900 --> 01:03:48,300
I don't think that West Virginia
will keep his many in to kind of

1049
01:03:48,300 --> 01:03:51,700
keep that protection.
There, we need to get consistent

1050
01:03:51,700 --> 01:03:54,300
pressure with.
For though to kind of keep

1051
01:03:54,300 --> 01:03:57,200
everything in check and if we
can do that and we can get Diggy

1052
01:03:57,600 --> 01:04:01,400
throwing either before he's
ready or making an ill-advised

1053
01:04:01,400 --> 01:04:03,900
throw in traffic.
That's going to bode well for

1054
01:04:03,900 --> 01:04:06,500
us.
It absolutely is Prime.

1055
01:04:07,500 --> 01:04:12,300
And again when you see when we
saw a couple of his pics they

1056
01:04:12,300 --> 01:04:14,700
were ugly picks.
It wasn't like it was a

1057
01:04:14,700 --> 01:04:21,700
beautiful Beautiful thing cam
cop in this up tonight, Thinkin

1058
01:04:21,700 --> 01:04:25,900
similar to US versus UNC.
We cannot let them score early

1059
01:04:27,300 --> 01:04:28,900
right now.
The way the offense is playing,

1060
01:04:28,900 --> 01:04:30,800
I absolutely 100% agree with
that.

1061
01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:36,300
If we get down, we have not seen
our offense hitting a year where

1062
01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:40,800
he can pop off 14 or 21 points
in the in the course of one

1063
01:04:40,800 --> 01:04:44,000
quarter.
Brian let's go to the last piece

1064
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:47,200
here.
And I want you to say it for the

1065
01:04:47,200 --> 01:04:49,200
people in the back.
Brian.

1066
01:04:49,200 --> 01:04:51,700
You have said, we have to be Gap
sound.

1067
01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:54,400
So what do you want to sound
Gap?

1068
01:04:54,400 --> 01:04:59,000
Sound.
We also need good safety run.

1069
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:03,700
Fits.
Always good safety run fits and

1070
01:05:03,700 --> 01:05:06,500
we've seen it pretty
consistently the first two

1071
01:05:06,500 --> 01:05:09,000
games, right?
We can play has been really

1072
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:11,900
good, especially in the Run game
and the short pass game.

1073
01:05:11,900 --> 01:05:14,400
We need more of that because
they will test us.

1074
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:17,900
Yep.
And the good news about that

1075
01:05:17,900 --> 01:05:21,800
even more.
So looks like he on to Jenkins,

1076
01:05:21,900 --> 01:05:26,400
probably going to be a full go
on, if not a daily, did a very

1077
01:05:26,400 --> 01:05:29,600
good job in his absence last
week.

1078
01:05:29,900 --> 01:05:33,100
Yeah.
So, you know, Know what we got

1079
01:05:33,100 --> 01:05:36,900
to do that, we've got to make
sure they can't run the ball

1080
01:05:36,900 --> 01:05:41,600
because if they can't run the
ball, it bodes better for us.

1081
01:05:42,700 --> 01:05:45,000
All right, Braun.
We've got some thoughts from the

1082
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:46,800
tear down.
Some listener predictions.

1083
01:05:46,800 --> 01:05:48,200
We got a couple out here
tonight.

1084
01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:52,900
So before we give our
predictions, let's hear theirs.

1085
01:05:56,000 --> 01:06:00,200
34:24, Virginia Tech.
We need to Arch.

1086
01:06:01,500 --> 01:06:06,300
JJ, Singleton scores going to be
31:17 Hokies, and we're going to

1087
01:06:06,308 --> 01:06:09,200
have to passing touchdowns
YouTube.

1088
01:06:11,500 --> 01:06:13,400
All right.
Jay Jay's, got his throwing for

1089
01:06:13,400 --> 01:06:15,600
to passing touchdowns, that's
going to be.

1090
01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:19,000
That sounds like that'll be a
pretty good game for for Braxton

1091
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:20,800
there.
If you can pull that off, get to

1092
01:06:20,800 --> 01:06:25,100
passing touchdowns hopefully get
over 250 yards through the air,

1093
01:06:25,100 --> 01:06:30,300
that would be nice to see and
tally, always wants the orange.

1094
01:06:30,300 --> 01:06:36,700
So Fact that all the orange
bring all the arms, all the

1095
01:06:36,700 --> 01:06:40,200
orange also predicting a win.
They already say 3817.

1096
01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:44,100
Yeah.
Big blowout, big blowout.

1097
01:06:44,300 --> 01:06:46,200
I Braun.
Well it's our turn now man.

1098
01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:50,900
You want me to do the honors?
Yeah, good.

1099
01:06:51,500 --> 01:06:54,200
All right.
I think that we're going to go

1100
01:06:54,200 --> 01:06:57,500
into Morgantown with a little
bit of fire under our ass.

1101
01:06:57,500 --> 01:06:59,600
We're going to come out.
We're going to score first.

1102
01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:03,300
We're going to lean on our
defense.

1103
01:07:04,300 --> 01:07:06,600
We're going to be opportunistic
with putting points on the

1104
01:07:06,600 --> 01:07:09,200
board.
We're going to be balanced,

1105
01:07:09,300 --> 01:07:13,000
despite not really putting the
ball down the field very much.

1106
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:15,200
We're going to work them in the
short passing game working with

1107
01:07:15,200 --> 01:07:18,700
the screen game.
I think it's a good game on both

1108
01:07:18,700 --> 01:07:22,700
sides of the ball, even if it's
not standing out on the offense,

1109
01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:32,800
I think we end up 2724, Virginia
Tech, and Brian goes to 7:24 V T

1110
01:07:34,900 --> 01:07:39,400
and now it's my turn just a few
weeks ago.

1111
01:07:40,700 --> 01:07:45,200
I predicted this game as a loss
in our season preview predicted

1112
01:07:45,200 --> 01:07:49,200
Carolina is a win.
And as of right now, I'm not

1113
01:07:49,200 --> 01:07:53,700
coming off of it, we have not
shown them passing game to go

1114
01:07:53,700 --> 01:07:58,500
into a hostile environment.
And beat a team that does have

1115
01:07:58,500 --> 01:08:01,700
some weapons that can score some
touchdowns.

1116
01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:04,400
They lost a Maryland by six
points.

1117
01:08:04,400 --> 01:08:07,300
They turn the ball over over 4
plus X.

1118
01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:10,700
I don't think they're going to
turn it over 4 plus X against

1119
01:08:10,700 --> 01:08:11,900
us.
I think they're going to be a

1120
01:08:11,908 --> 01:08:13,400
little more conservative with
it.

1121
01:08:13,800 --> 01:08:17,899
I think us going there with some
holes in our offense.

1122
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:23,600
And they loud crowd that it's
been 15 years.

1123
01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:26,300
Since we played there, it is a
nasty place to play.

1124
01:08:27,800 --> 01:08:31,000
We Know It is Brian friends with
their things happen.

1125
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:34,899
They'll throw liquor at you.
They'll burn couches all sorts

1126
01:08:34,899 --> 01:08:38,000
of crap so I think her liquor
bottles that don't have liquor

1127
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:39,500
in them.
Sometimes they have urine and

1128
01:08:39,500 --> 01:08:41,200
I'm shout out.
Dwight Vic.

1129
01:08:41,700 --> 01:08:48,300
Yep, battery he's full beer cans
but I think it's going to be a

1130
01:08:48,300 --> 01:08:51,200
closely contested game and I'm
going to go unfortunately I'm

1131
01:08:51,200 --> 01:08:58,399
going to say 2827 West Virginia.
oh, You know, that's a tough

1132
01:08:58,399 --> 01:09:01,000
one.
It's gonna be a heartbreaker.

1133
01:09:02,500 --> 01:09:05,200
So you predicted us having
having one last possession, and

1134
01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:06,800
just can't get it.
In field goal range.

1135
01:09:06,800 --> 01:09:10,600
Is that kind of what you're,
what you're seeing or or is it

1136
01:09:10,600 --> 01:09:13,700
or is it a late?
A late touchdown to make it make

1137
01:09:13,700 --> 01:09:17,100
it close.
I don't think it'll be, I think

1138
01:09:17,100 --> 01:09:19,300
it's going to be one of those.
We get the ball later in the

1139
01:09:19,300 --> 01:09:22,399
game.
We can't convert anything, they

1140
01:09:22,399 --> 01:09:24,899
get the ball and eventually the
Deep.

1141
01:09:24,899 --> 01:09:29,399
It's going to be the old hokey.
He's from our youth, we're going

1142
01:09:29,399 --> 01:09:33,100
to do, we're going to have
opportunities to do big things

1143
01:09:33,100 --> 01:09:34,600
on offense.
We're going to screw it up.

1144
01:09:34,600 --> 01:09:36,600
We're going to wear out our
defense and eventually in the

1145
01:09:36,600 --> 01:09:39,800
fourth quarter, they're going to
get the lead and we're not going

1146
01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:44,500
to call back.
Now, if you ask me what, I put

1147
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:48,600
my mortgage payment on this know
because I do think we have the

1148
01:09:48,600 --> 01:09:53,200
talent and if you want to know
how how we do it is, we it's

1149
01:09:53,200 --> 01:09:57,100
going to be similar to UNC is
Cam said we jump early. if you

1150
01:09:57,100 --> 01:10:03,500
tell me, we are up 14 after the
first 20 minutes, Then I think

1151
01:10:03,500 --> 01:10:07,000
we're going to win the game.
Yeah, but I don't foresee us

1152
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:09,000
getting into some sort of
shootout with this team?

1153
01:10:09,300 --> 01:10:12,800
No, I if it's a shootout, I
don't we to me, we have no

1154
01:10:12,800 --> 01:10:17,000
chance, but if we get up early
and can do exactly what we did

1155
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:21,300
against UNC and start leaning
slowing down their run and

1156
01:10:21,300 --> 01:10:26,900
forced into g into bad throws.
Then we have a chance But this

1157
01:10:26,900 --> 01:10:29,100
is also going to be a hostile
environment.

1158
01:10:29,700 --> 01:10:32,100
They're going to be screaming
their freaking lungs out at us

1159
01:10:32,400 --> 01:10:36,000
the second we touch the field so
you're not going to have that

1160
01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:38,200
sense of calm to get down the
field.

1161
01:10:38,800 --> 01:10:41,900
You know.
Listen I'm hoping I'm sitting

1162
01:10:41,900 --> 01:10:45,100
here and about how many hours is
it?

1163
01:10:45,100 --> 01:10:50,100
72 hours braund.
Listen.

1164
01:10:50,100 --> 01:10:52,600
You've got to be a realist.
I'm a realist.

1165
01:10:53,000 --> 01:10:55,800
If you if you if you think we're
going to win every single game.

1166
01:10:56,000 --> 01:10:59,000
Go to Vegas, put it put put all
of your savings that we're going

1167
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:03,100
to go 12 and oh yeah well he
predicted 9 & 3.

1168
01:11:03,800 --> 01:11:05,500
Yeah.
We as we definitely bring the

1169
01:11:05,500 --> 01:11:08,900
realness here, we're not we're
not going to sugarcoat it right.

1170
01:11:08,900 --> 01:11:12,600
Run first game with you said
we're gonna lose to UNC, he does

1171
01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:16,400
help your inhale to come on here
Friday night when I love being

1172
01:11:16,400 --> 01:11:18,000
wrong.
When I when I pick a girl's

1173
01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:22,000
boobs, that's my favorite time.
I love being wrong too and I

1174
01:11:22,008 --> 01:11:24,600
hope I'm wrong on this one.
I really hope.

1175
01:11:25,100 --> 01:11:29,900
That by about 130.
I can sit back and just put my

1176
01:11:29,900 --> 01:11:33,300
feet up because we blow the
doors off on the slight.

1177
01:11:33,300 --> 01:11:35,900
Well, this ain't a game anymore.
I'm really glad I'm wrong.

1178
01:11:35,900 --> 01:11:38,300
So I'm hoping about 72 hours
from now.

1179
01:11:38,900 --> 01:11:42,700
I get to sit here and say I was
wrong and it's the happiest I am

1180
01:11:42,700 --> 01:11:46,300
when I'm wrong.
All right, Brian.

1181
01:11:46,400 --> 01:11:50,300
There are a lot of other games
this weekend and our Saturday.

1182
01:11:50,300 --> 01:11:52,900
Pickens and Brian, believe it or
not.

1183
01:11:52,900 --> 01:11:57,800
We and you bald last weekend,
Brian, six and four got his

1184
01:11:57,800 --> 01:12:03,200
record to 511 and 11.
I went seven and three and went

1185
01:12:03,200 --> 01:12:08,300
from three and nine to ten and
twelve and one Fell Swoop

1186
01:12:08,300 --> 01:12:12,500
weekend.
So and I think the games we put

1187
01:12:12,500 --> 01:12:16,600
together, the only game we lost
was was we got Ohio State.

1188
01:12:16,600 --> 01:12:20,800
We got the Iowa game, right?
We picked four games.

1189
01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:22,900
Exactly the same.
We were three in one.

1190
01:12:23,300 --> 01:12:26,300
Yeah.
So when we agree, you might want

1191
01:12:26,300 --> 01:12:27,600
to take some of that to the
bank.

1192
01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:30,100
If we agree to take it, take it
to Vegas.

1193
01:12:30,800 --> 01:12:35,500
If you, you know, if you want to
go follow my pics, you might, as

1194
01:12:35,500 --> 01:12:37,800
well just flip a coin at this
point.

1195
01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:40,800
I'm 500 on the nose through two
weeks.

1196
01:12:40,800 --> 01:12:45,000
So we'll see how that builds
over the rest of the year, but

1197
01:12:45,600 --> 01:12:47,000
Going to get into this first
one, buddy.

1198
01:12:47,200 --> 01:12:50,000
Let's go to it, man.
Since you are leading, you have

1199
01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:52,300
the honor sir.
We look at Friday night,

1200
01:12:52,300 --> 01:12:56,900
Louisville vs.
UCF, UCF Lane seven points.

1201
01:12:58,500 --> 01:13:02,500
Yeah, I'm still not a believer
in this Louisville team.

1202
01:13:03,700 --> 01:13:06,900
I feel like the pieces that
they've lost just have not been

1203
01:13:06,900 --> 01:13:11,600
been replaced at this point.
I think UCF is kind of their

1204
01:13:11,600 --> 01:13:14,100
good team and I think they can,
they can probably get them that

1205
01:13:14,100 --> 01:13:17,900
I think that's going to be Be
UCF, probably by 10.

1206
01:13:17,900 --> 01:13:22,400
So I'll take UCF in this one.
Yeah, I'm actually with you on

1207
01:13:22,400 --> 01:13:25,500
this one.
After the Way, Louisville looked

1208
01:13:25,500 --> 01:13:29,200
against Ole Miss and then last
week, you know, they played

1209
01:13:29,900 --> 01:13:33,100
Eastern Kentucky.
You know, the kernels out there,

1210
01:13:33,100 --> 01:13:37,600
they only 1:30 to 3.
And it was a similar game to

1211
01:13:37,700 --> 01:13:40,100
what Virginia Tech look like.
They were only up 2:40 at

1212
01:13:40,100 --> 01:13:45,200
halftime, so not a like not a
overly dominant impressive.

1213
01:13:45,400 --> 01:13:48,100
I've gained against an even
lower level of competition in

1214
01:13:48,100 --> 01:13:53,500
the Hokies, so I'm with you give
me UCF lay the seven, I think it

1215
01:13:53,500 --> 01:13:56,600
might be uglier than the 10-year
talking about Brian.

1216
01:13:56,600 --> 01:14:00,100
I think Scott Satterfield
officially gets on the hot seat

1217
01:14:01,300 --> 01:14:03,400
in just a few days.
Put it in one of the sea, put

1218
01:14:03,400 --> 01:14:07,300
him on the scene, almost.
All right, let's go down.

1219
01:14:07,700 --> 01:14:09,200
Miami.
Michigan State.

1220
01:14:09,200 --> 01:14:11,700
Miami Lane, six and a half.
I'll start with this one.

1221
01:14:11,700 --> 01:14:16,700
Brian.
I think Miami gets back on track

1222
01:14:17,600 --> 01:14:21,400
this week, okay?
Thank you know, with what

1223
01:14:21,400 --> 01:14:23,900
Michigan State likes to do.
Michigan State, out of the gate.

1224
01:14:23,900 --> 01:14:26,900
Very good against Northwestern
Northwestern ever.

1225
01:14:26,900 --> 01:14:29,500
You don't know what they are
until about week six.

1226
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:32,100
Yep.
Because sometimes, they'll come,

1227
01:14:32,700 --> 01:14:34,900
you know, will couple years ago
they lost to Duke and they ended

1228
01:14:34,900 --> 01:14:39,100
up winning nine games and it was
just like houses the same team.

1229
01:14:39,500 --> 01:14:42,800
So I'm going to take Miami in
this game, I don't think six and

1230
01:14:42,800 --> 01:14:46,100
a half is enough for In state I
see this as a 10-point game.

1231
01:14:46,100 --> 01:14:49,800
Probably 3121.
Miami pulling away late.

1232
01:14:51,100 --> 01:14:52,800
Yeah, I'm actually right there
with you buddy.

1233
01:14:53,700 --> 01:14:57,700
I think this is this is the
perfect game for Miami to get,

1234
01:14:57,700 --> 01:14:59,100
right?
Because it's good of enough

1235
01:14:59,100 --> 01:15:04,100
competition that they are going
to get the focus going into it.

1236
01:15:05,000 --> 01:15:08,500
But at the same time,
talent-wise top to bottom, they

1237
01:15:08,500 --> 01:15:12,200
have more talent and I think he
finally play up to that level of

1238
01:15:12,208 --> 01:15:15,600
talent this week and It done
against Michigan State.

1239
01:15:17,200 --> 01:15:18,800
All right, Brown roll up into
the next one.

1240
01:15:18,800 --> 01:15:27,900
Here Temple, BC, BC, land 16.
Temple.

1241
01:15:31,100 --> 01:15:33,700
And it is solely because the
quarterback and it's solely

1242
01:15:33,700 --> 01:15:38,600
because Temple seems to play up
to better competition when they

1243
01:15:38,600 --> 01:15:42,500
get some of these matchups of
late in the last few years.

1244
01:15:42,500 --> 01:15:45,100
So I'm going to pick Temple
here.

1245
01:15:46,400 --> 01:15:52,000
Um I would say that but not in
this case temples got their

1246
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:57,200
doors blown off by Rutgers just
a couple weeks ago and last week

1247
01:15:57,200 --> 01:16:00,300
they played Akron and that game
was tied at halftime.

1248
01:16:00,300 --> 01:16:03,100
They pulled Away late.
So I'm gonna even with a

1249
01:16:03,100 --> 01:16:06,300
different quarterback.
I think BC is going to blow the

1250
01:16:06,300 --> 01:16:09,300
doors off Temple, not enough
tape yet to understand what

1251
01:16:09,300 --> 01:16:13,100
they're doing.
So give me BC lay the 16 on

1252
01:16:13,100 --> 01:16:17,200
that.
Temple is my upset Alert in the

1253
01:16:17,200 --> 01:16:22,300
ACC this week, true upset?
Yeah, yeah, I'm feeling good

1254
01:16:22,300 --> 01:16:26,000
about that.
All right, Brian, this is, I

1255
01:16:26,008 --> 01:16:28,300
don't know how we're going to
pick this game and I've got to

1256
01:16:28,300 --> 01:16:33,800
leave it really Florida.
State vs Wake Forest, weak

1257
01:16:33,800 --> 01:16:39,200
forces, Lane five and a half.
Part of my brain looks at Notre

1258
01:16:39,200 --> 01:16:42,700
Dame game versus Florida State
in thinking, even though it's

1259
01:16:42,700 --> 01:16:45,600
not as a good of Notre Dame team
as it's been the last few years,

1260
01:16:45,600 --> 01:16:49,100
there's still a good team.
If that team shows up, they're

1261
01:16:49,100 --> 01:16:51,000
going to be tweaked by 14
points.

1262
01:16:51,700 --> 01:16:54,200
The other part of my brain turns
on this is what it says.

1263
01:16:54,400 --> 01:16:56,100
Did you see the Jacksonville
State game?

1264
01:16:56,500 --> 01:16:58,100
Hey, Curtis.
Did you see the Jacksonville

1265
01:16:58,100 --> 01:17:03,300
State and especially they didn't
fire him.

1266
01:17:04,000 --> 01:17:07,200
But any defensive coordinator
who chooses to run like a cover

1267
01:17:07,200 --> 01:17:11,100
one, the last play of the game.
When the opponents near

1268
01:17:11,100 --> 01:17:14,800
Midfield, I don't know what
you're worth your weight in.

1269
01:17:15,300 --> 01:17:19,100
She's not even near Midfield who
really like the 32, or some

1270
01:17:19,100 --> 01:17:21,900
shit.
Know there were 44 years.

1271
01:17:22,700 --> 01:17:25,700
They were at the place where you
don't still play a cover one.

1272
01:17:26,700 --> 01:17:30,200
I don't give a shit if they were
at the 20 seriously.

1273
01:17:30,200 --> 01:17:32,500
You're not going to put at least
three to four guys.

1274
01:17:32,500 --> 01:17:34,300
Back at the 10-yard.
Deadline.

1275
01:17:35,500 --> 01:17:37,500
Well, you put all your deep guys
deep, but then you drop,

1276
01:17:37,500 --> 01:17:40,200
everybody else kind of at that
level where they can make the

1277
01:17:40,200 --> 01:17:44,200
play, if he gets past past the
past fifty, right?

1278
01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:46,700
They can make the play before
they get the field goal range.

1279
01:17:46,800 --> 01:17:49,700
I mean, it was six seconds.
That's going to be a quick ass

1280
01:17:49,700 --> 01:17:54,200
route to get 25 yards and six
seconds, right?

1281
01:17:55,100 --> 01:17:58,600
True, it couldn't have happened.
If you put four to five, guys,

1282
01:17:58,600 --> 01:18:01,300
back at the 10-yard line.
They win the game.

1283
01:18:02,100 --> 01:18:04,700
I'm going to go here.
I think Florida State's going to

1284
01:18:04,700 --> 01:18:11,300
win this game.
I think Florida state is going

1285
01:18:11,300 --> 01:18:14,600
to win this game, so give me the
points.

1286
01:18:18,200 --> 01:18:20,000
Give me the points in Florida
State.

1287
01:18:23,800 --> 01:18:29,200
Yeah, I'm going to take Week.
Jacksonville State broke me.

1288
01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:36,200
I'm not picking the Seminoles
until they prove me wrong in the

1289
01:18:36,200 --> 01:18:40,300
other direction.
Alright, alright.

1290
01:18:40,300 --> 01:18:45,400
Brown will Tennessee state?
I'm not, I don't think about

1291
01:18:45,400 --> 01:18:48,100
that.
I don't know about that one.

1292
01:18:48,100 --> 01:18:49,600
All right, Brian, Georgia Tech,
Clemson.

1293
01:18:50,100 --> 01:18:52,800
It would be closer than if they
showed up the way they showed up

1294
01:18:52,800 --> 01:18:54,800
last weekend.
Be closer than the experts would

1295
01:18:54,800 --> 01:18:56,400
say.
It wouldn't be close to the

1296
01:18:56,400 --> 01:18:57,800
expert.
They wouldn't cover the 20 and a

1297
01:18:57,808 --> 01:18:59,100
half.
I'll say that right now.

1298
01:18:59,200 --> 01:19:03,300
He'll know why Braun Georgia
Tech Clemson you ready for the

1299
01:19:03,300 --> 01:19:08,200
line?
Yeah, it is Elaine 28 and a half

1300
01:19:08,200 --> 01:19:13,100
point.
Yeah, that's telling me that

1301
01:19:14,500 --> 01:19:18,100
Jeff Sims is not playing this
game and I will trust it.

1302
01:19:18,200 --> 01:19:23,700
Give me Clemson, Clemson legal
limit, I think.

1303
01:19:24,200 --> 01:19:31,100
Well, remember the game last
year 73. 7.0 got to beat up on a

1304
01:19:31,100 --> 01:19:33,500
lesser opponent.
Last week, they are going to

1305
01:19:33,700 --> 01:19:35,300
beat the shit out of Georgia
Tech.

1306
01:19:35,700 --> 01:19:37,200
I mean, I think I'm seeing this
game.

1307
01:19:37,200 --> 01:19:40,000
Something like 5614.
Okay.

1308
01:19:40,200 --> 01:19:42,500
Like bye.
I beat the dog mean.

1309
01:19:42,500 --> 01:19:43,800
Georgia Tech.
That's about.

1310
01:19:43,800 --> 01:19:45,000
That's about where I see you,
too.

1311
01:19:45,000 --> 01:19:48,300
I think thinking they could
definitely take you to, you

1312
01:19:48,300 --> 01:19:53,900
know, 55 scores, 35, right point
with the next one.

1313
01:19:53,900 --> 01:19:57,400
We got here.
Brian is we've got Duke and

1314
01:19:57,400 --> 01:20:01,200
we've got Northwestern.
This is in Durham, do you

1315
01:20:01,200 --> 01:20:06,400
ghislaine Or Duke is getting
three points on North

1316
01:20:06,400 --> 01:20:11,600
Northwestern Lane points.
And this is just such a weird

1317
01:20:11,600 --> 01:20:17,200
game because we saw Northwestern
they lost to Michigan State.

1318
01:20:17,400 --> 01:20:20,000
You know, Michigan state county.
Kept him at arm's length.

1319
01:20:20,000 --> 01:20:22,200
They get Indiana State the next
week you expect, okay.

1320
01:20:22,200 --> 01:20:24,900
They're going to blow the doors
off 24-6.

1321
01:20:25,000 --> 01:20:28,900
It wasn't ugly.
Do you go on the other hand went

1322
01:20:28,900 --> 01:20:31,100
down the Charlotte and an
uprising.

1323
01:20:31,100 --> 01:20:33,000
Charlotte team basically had
that game.

1324
01:20:33,000 --> 01:20:36,900
One lost in the And barely, we
saw the way they start against

1325
01:20:36,900 --> 01:20:40,000
North Carolina A&T, and it looks
like they're gonna lose another

1326
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:42,700
one, and then they come back in
the second quarter Beyond and

1327
01:20:42,700 --> 01:20:47,500
just blow the doors, off, A&T
know, these two teams.

1328
01:20:47,500 --> 01:20:52,400
I have no clue what they are.
They had I have no clue and when

1329
01:20:52,400 --> 01:20:58,300
I have no clue I start going to,
you know, history the last few

1330
01:20:58,300 --> 01:21:03,200
years have been rough for Duke,
the last few years Northwestern

1331
01:21:03,200 --> 01:21:04,800
had a good year.
And then they had a bad year

1332
01:21:04,800 --> 01:21:06,300
than last year.
They had a really good year.

1333
01:21:06,700 --> 01:21:09,200
I think Northwestern wins this
game by touchdown.

1334
01:21:09,400 --> 01:21:12,400
So I will lay the three points
with Northwestern.

1335
01:21:15,300 --> 01:21:21,600
Give me Duke in the points and I
don't like it at all but I just

1336
01:21:21,600 --> 01:21:26,200
I don't know what to expect from
these two teams and I will go,

1337
01:21:26,900 --> 01:21:31,100
you know, ACC this way I'll say
hey, we need to finally get one

1338
01:21:32,800 --> 01:21:35,400
need to kind of time.
We have had a ton of luck in the

1339
01:21:35,400 --> 01:21:39,800
non-conference against Power 5
opponents, this year so far.

1340
01:21:39,800 --> 01:21:43,400
So let's try to go out there and
get one, very true, just had an

1341
01:21:43,400 --> 01:21:46,200
update a line.
And UVA UNC.

1342
01:21:46,200 --> 01:21:51,300
Was it nine a few hours ago.
It is now at eight so UNC Lane

1343
01:21:51,300 --> 01:21:55,900
eight points.
What do you got in the UVA UNC

1344
01:21:55,900 --> 01:22:00,200
game in Chapel Hill?
This is make or break for you

1345
01:22:00,200 --> 01:22:03,100
and sees hopes of winning the
coastal, right?

1346
01:22:03,200 --> 01:22:07,300
It is you can't, you can't fall
behind UVA and Virginia Tech.

1347
01:22:07,300 --> 01:22:12,200
Bye-bye, half-game, a heads up
game in the, in the coastal.

1348
01:22:12,200 --> 01:22:15,800
This early, you can't have two
conference losses in your

1349
01:22:15,800 --> 01:22:18,500
schedule.
This early, I think UNC is

1350
01:22:18,500 --> 01:22:22,000
focused.
I think they come out quick, and

1351
01:22:22,000 --> 01:22:28,200
I think it's a tight game.
But I think I think UNC covers.

1352
01:22:28,200 --> 01:22:30,400
I think it's a 10-point 10 point
game.

1353
01:22:30,600 --> 01:22:33,900
I think I think UVA is just they
haven't been tested yet and I

1354
01:22:33,907 --> 01:22:38,500
think that unc's focus is going
to be where it needs to be

1355
01:22:38,900 --> 01:22:43,600
right.
I'm sure like me, you're around

1356
01:22:43,600 --> 01:22:46,200
Saturday morning, hanging around
the house, having a cup of

1357
01:22:46,200 --> 01:22:51,300
coffee, maybe eating some
Pop-Tarts for breakfast and that

1358
01:22:51,300 --> 01:22:53,500
game was played against
Illinois.

1359
01:22:54,000 --> 01:22:57,500
Yep.
The way Brandon Armstrong was

1360
01:22:57,500 --> 01:23:01,700
throwing those outside passes.
If they were Ducks, they were

1361
01:23:01,700 --> 01:23:03,800
Ducks.
I hope he is still throwing

1362
01:23:03,800 --> 01:23:07,400
those in Scott Stadium.
Come Thanksgiving weekend.

1363
01:23:08,800 --> 01:23:11,900
If he, if they do that game plan
and they try to attack the

1364
01:23:11,900 --> 01:23:16,100
outsides, I think he's throwing
it at least two, maybe three

1365
01:23:16,100 --> 01:23:17,900
interceptions?
Yeah.

1366
01:23:19,800 --> 01:23:21,700
We just haven't like you just
said it.

1367
01:23:21,700 --> 01:23:24,500
We haven't seen UVA play any
quality competition.

1368
01:23:25,500 --> 01:23:31,900
We saw right now, we saw UNC,
you know, big win last week, and

1369
01:23:31,900 --> 01:23:35,500
we saw him against us against
what we're seeing right now.

1370
01:23:35,500 --> 01:23:38,000
Is a very good Virginia Tech
defense.

1371
01:23:39,900 --> 01:23:42,300
Only boat Corrales is out.
So they're starting to get

1372
01:23:42,300 --> 01:23:46,100
healthier.
And I'm sort of teetering

1373
01:23:46,100 --> 01:23:48,000
between, is this going to be a
10-point game?

1374
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:50,100
We're just going to look a
little uglier on paper.

1375
01:23:50,800 --> 01:23:54,400
I think, either way I think, um,
c-can cover eight points in this

1376
01:23:54,400 --> 01:23:58,000
game and it's one of those
games.

1377
01:23:58,000 --> 01:24:01,800
It's a it's like a win-win
lose-lose.

1378
01:24:02,200 --> 01:24:05,700
You wish they both could lose
mean.

1379
01:24:05,700 --> 01:24:07,600
Would that be nice?
That'd be nice.

1380
01:24:07,600 --> 01:24:08,700
But either way, we're going to
hell.

1381
01:24:08,700 --> 01:24:11,600
If they all get enough covid
then it'll happen because the

1382
01:24:11,600 --> 01:24:15,500
ACC says, if you have to cancel
because of covid-19, We're gonna

1383
01:24:15,500 --> 01:24:19,400
go down the LabCorp tomorrow and
get my everybody has code.

1384
01:24:19,400 --> 01:24:23,700
They both have to lose now.
I think we all say it's the win

1385
01:24:23,700 --> 01:24:27,300
win is if if you and see when
they're effectively out of the

1386
01:24:27,308 --> 01:24:37,000
coastal picture, if you know, if
UVA loses you know, and in the

1387
01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:38,400
manner I think it's going to
happen.

1388
01:24:38,400 --> 01:24:40,500
I think effectively they get put
to bed is okay.

1389
01:24:40,500 --> 01:24:42,800
Those first two games were just
smoking mirrors.

1390
01:24:43,600 --> 01:24:47,900
So that's the field on that run.
All right, really, haven't been

1391
01:24:47,900 --> 01:24:52,200
tested by good offense yet.
Now think that's the thing is

1392
01:24:52,200 --> 01:24:54,200
that the defense hasn't been
stressed tested.

1393
01:24:54,200 --> 01:24:58,600
Yet the defense has entrusted to
put the pressure on the offense

1394
01:24:59,200 --> 01:25:04,300
to actually have to do something
exactly what not playing loose.

1395
01:25:04,900 --> 01:25:08,400
All right.
Brian going here to my pretty

1396
01:25:08,400 --> 01:25:10,500
big ranked games at the end
here.

1397
01:25:10,500 --> 01:25:13,000
We're going to start with auburn
Penn State.

1398
01:25:13,400 --> 01:25:16,900
In Happy Valley, it is going to
be a white out on Saturday night

1399
01:25:17,400 --> 01:25:22,500
Penn, State's Lane Six, Penn
State already battled tested,

1400
01:25:22,500 --> 01:25:24,000
with the Wisconsin game.
Where to me?

1401
01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:28,500
They still should have lost I do
think Auburn's got a good

1402
01:25:28,500 --> 01:25:32,000
defense, but I think Auburn's
going to get a shell shock

1403
01:25:32,700 --> 01:25:34,900
Auburn.
Has literally played no one this

1404
01:25:34,900 --> 01:25:36,900
year.
No one.

1405
01:25:37,500 --> 01:25:43,200
And unfortunately for them they
have to go on the road to a

1406
01:25:43,200 --> 01:25:47,200
super hostile environment and
it's to a place, they normally

1407
01:25:47,200 --> 01:25:50,100
don't go.
And this is where my peace

1408
01:25:50,100 --> 01:25:52,500
comes.
Why I don't like neutral site

1409
01:25:52,500 --> 01:25:57,400
games because when you have to
go to a Out of conference team.

1410
01:25:57,400 --> 01:26:00,100
You don't normally play.
Everything's different right

1411
01:26:00,100 --> 01:26:01,300
Ron?
Yep.

1412
01:26:02,100 --> 01:26:04,600
Oh well, they play in Alabama.
It's 100,000 people.

1413
01:26:04,600 --> 01:26:10,700
There, they allow those kids go
to Alabama with multiple times

1414
01:26:10,900 --> 01:26:12,900
in their careers.
They know where they're going to

1415
01:26:12,900 --> 01:26:14,700
stay.
They know the meals, they're

1416
01:26:14,700 --> 01:26:16,600
going to eat.
They know what the locker rooms

1417
01:26:16,600 --> 01:26:18,400
look like to know how the
fields, feel they know where the

1418
01:26:18,500 --> 01:26:20,700
noise comes from.
They know the fans are their

1419
01:26:20,700 --> 01:26:23,200
fans are, they are going into a
stadium.

1420
01:26:23,200 --> 01:26:26,200
They've never been in there
going further up north Me a

1421
01:26:26,200 --> 01:26:29,000
check on what State College
weather going to be on Saturday

1422
01:26:29,000 --> 01:26:33,000
night.
Temperature-wise, just just

1423
01:26:33,000 --> 01:26:43,200
interested.
What time is it?

1424
01:26:43,900 --> 01:26:48,100
7:30, it's not getting.
It's going to be.

1425
01:26:49,600 --> 01:26:54,600
About 75 and grizzly.
All right, so they're not

1426
01:26:54,600 --> 01:26:57,100
getting any sort of Chilly fall
weather early.

1427
01:26:57,600 --> 01:27:01,600
But either way, we look at it, I
think Penn State wins this game

1428
01:27:03,500 --> 01:27:06,300
because I think do you really
want to get tested an

1429
01:27:06,300 --> 01:27:08,500
environment like that for the
first time this year?

1430
01:27:10,500 --> 01:27:11,900
That's definitely not the
environment.

1431
01:27:11,900 --> 01:27:15,500
You want to go into with your
first big test.

1432
01:27:17,300 --> 01:27:19,200
It's going to definitely be
loud.

1433
01:27:19,300 --> 01:27:24,100
Whiteout is always loud about as
loud as Penn State gets in the

1434
01:27:24,100 --> 01:27:29,300
season.
I'm with you on this one.

1435
01:27:29,300 --> 01:27:33,600
I've got Penn State.
I don't think it's by a ton over

1436
01:27:34,600 --> 01:27:37,700
the spread their, I think it's,
I think it's another probably

1437
01:27:37,700 --> 01:27:41,700
about it by the 10-point game.
I think kind of in the end.

1438
01:27:43,000 --> 01:27:45,600
Penn State holds on, I think,
Auburn out of the gate is Shell

1439
01:27:45,600 --> 01:27:49,500
Shocked by the atmosphere and
the town of Penn State.

1440
01:27:49,500 --> 01:27:52,800
But they kind of their defense
settles in, and they kind of

1441
01:27:52,800 --> 01:27:55,000
make a little bit of a run late,
but it's too late.

1442
01:27:56,100 --> 01:27:58,600
Absolutely.
All right, Braun, where we're

1443
01:27:58,600 --> 01:28:02,900
going next going to be the
Pac-12 after dark game, but not

1444
01:28:02,900 --> 01:28:05,600
all Pac-12, future, big
12-member.

1445
01:28:05,600 --> 01:28:10,700
BYU versus Arizona State.
Arizona State lay in three and a

1446
01:28:10,700 --> 01:28:14,300
half.
We watch some BYU last week and

1447
01:28:14,300 --> 01:28:16,000
we hit a little bit of the
Arizona, State game.

1448
01:28:16,000 --> 01:28:17,400
Rhyme.
So, what are you thinking for

1449
01:28:17,400 --> 01:28:22,600
this one?
I think this is going to be kind

1450
01:28:22,600 --> 01:28:25,100
of a letdown game for BYU.
I think they're still going to

1451
01:28:25,100 --> 01:28:28,300
kind of be riding the high of
last week.

1452
01:28:29,200 --> 01:28:33,700
And I think zone is just going
to kind of wear them down over

1453
01:28:33,700 --> 01:28:38,100
time in that game.
So give me his own estate in the

1454
01:28:38,100 --> 01:28:41,200
points.
All right, bronze.

1455
01:28:41,200 --> 01:28:42,800
Going to take Zone.
Estate.

1456
01:28:43,400 --> 01:28:45,500
I'm going to go with the not so
fast here.

1457
01:28:45,800 --> 01:28:49,200
I think coming off that Victory
versus Utah course and they won

1458
01:28:49,200 --> 01:28:52,800
that game in nine years.
I think the Elation I think

1459
01:28:52,800 --> 01:28:54,700
they're going to stay in the
their heads are going to be in

1460
01:28:54,700 --> 01:28:56,100
the cloud.
Do they win?

1461
01:28:58,100 --> 01:29:00,000
I wouldn't pick this one on the
money line.

1462
01:29:00,200 --> 01:29:02,300
I think they're pretty evenly
matched teams.

1463
01:29:02,700 --> 01:29:05,100
You've got a really good
quarterback in Jane Daniels at

1464
01:29:05,100 --> 01:29:08,200
Arizona State but I think this
one is going to come down to the

1465
01:29:08,200 --> 01:29:10,900
wire.
So, what I think of a game being

1466
01:29:10,900 --> 01:29:17,200
like that, I've got to take the
points just to, you know, hope

1467
01:29:17,200 --> 01:29:19,200
the home field.
I think, gives Arizona that a

1468
01:29:19,208 --> 01:29:25,300
little bit in the end and it's
like a 3130 game is almost a

1469
01:29:25,308 --> 01:29:27,000
twins BYU.
Evers.

1470
01:29:28,600 --> 01:29:31,500
Okay.
All right bro, that's one buddy.

1471
01:29:31,600 --> 01:29:39,300
Last one, the big one.
No in the small re 38b or in CBS

1472
01:29:39,300 --> 01:29:43,800
on Saturday, I'm going to go
make sure this line has not

1473
01:29:43,800 --> 01:29:46,300
changed because it is a big line
already.

1474
01:29:46,500 --> 01:29:50,700
Make sure we can get points one
way or the other, but Alabama,

1475
01:29:51,600 --> 01:29:54,800
it did go down in the last
little while here Alabama, is a

1476
01:29:54,800 --> 01:29:58,200
14 and a half Point favorite
over.

1477
01:29:58,300 --> 01:30:02,100
Florida in the swamp.
The 3:30 afternoon.

1478
01:30:04,400 --> 01:30:11,600
Well you let the last one shit.
It's such a tough thing because

1479
01:30:12,300 --> 01:30:16,700
we know Alabama's talented.
And we know Nick Saban is

1480
01:30:16,700 --> 01:30:20,200
absolutely wonderful at creating
game plans with the month.

1481
01:30:20,700 --> 01:30:25,500
So I don't know if what we saw
against Miami is the true

1482
01:30:25,500 --> 01:30:30,100
Alabama because savings so good.
When you give him a month he's

1483
01:30:30,100 --> 01:30:32,000
gonna dissect you in every
single way.

1484
01:30:32,800 --> 01:30:35,100
If you give him time, he will
eat you alive.

1485
01:30:35,200 --> 01:30:38,900
You will.
It's why the playoffs, you know.

1486
01:30:39,000 --> 01:30:43,600
He's destroyed teams on that
first weekend but 14 and a half

1487
01:30:43,600 --> 01:30:50,600
is so So many points to lay
against a home team against the

1488
01:30:50,600 --> 01:30:53,400
raucous crowd against an
athletic quarterback.

1489
01:30:54,900 --> 01:30:58,300
Do I think Florida wins?
I don't think Florida wins but I

1490
01:30:58,300 --> 01:31:00,500
think it's going to be a more
competitive game than two

1491
01:31:00,500 --> 01:31:08,400
touchdowns, so I will take
Florida. and, Take the points.

1492
01:31:09,300 --> 01:31:14,500
Okay, I'm right there with you
buddy while we agree right there

1493
01:31:14,500 --> 01:31:18,200
with you.
Yeah, I like Bama to win this

1494
01:31:18,200 --> 01:31:20,800
but I don't like it. 14 and a
half points.

1495
01:31:22,000 --> 01:31:23,500
I think they're going into the
swamp.

1496
01:31:23,500 --> 01:31:26,100
It's going to be a rocking
atmosphere.

1497
01:31:27,100 --> 01:31:30,000
I think that's going to be.
I don't think that's going to

1498
01:31:30,000 --> 01:31:33,400
intimidate Alabama, but I think
Florida is going to be kind of

1499
01:31:33,400 --> 01:31:36,400
feed off that energy and really
play.

1500
01:31:36,600 --> 01:31:39,300
Above their ability against
Alabama, at least for three

1501
01:31:39,300 --> 01:31:42,800
quarters.
Yeah, I can see that being a

1502
01:31:42,800 --> 01:31:45,800
close game until till the fourth
quarter, but I don't think they

1503
01:31:45,800 --> 01:31:48,700
put three scores distance
between the think it's going to

1504
01:31:48,700 --> 01:31:52,100
be either somewhere between 1010
to the, the two touches.

1505
01:31:52,700 --> 01:31:54,900
Yeah.
I'm so probably probably just a

1506
01:31:54,900 --> 01:31:58,700
just enough to for Florida.
Hang onto the cover there.

1507
01:31:59,100 --> 01:32:01,400
Yeah, over unders, 59 and a half
on that game.

1508
01:32:01,400 --> 01:32:04,200
So Vegas is seen.
That game is almost like a

1509
01:32:07,200 --> 01:32:15,100
Almost like a 3531 3521.
Yeah, 30 3821 somewhere in that

1510
01:32:15,100 --> 01:32:16,800
neighborhood which is really
unusual.

1511
01:32:16,800 --> 01:32:21,500
So yep, Brian is anything broke.
Once we have been on here for

1512
01:32:21,500 --> 01:32:25,900

01:32:25,900 --> 01:32:28,800
timeline, buddy.
All right.
