00:00:01.399 --> 00:00:13.960
The following is a presentation of play
Fly sports properties, my guys and trying

2
00:00:13.960 --> 00:00:34.280
to curdle the goal line. What
is the good you know, Pat Shappo,

3
00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:58.600
up here comes this button. How
the side guy shown that we're gonna

4
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:03.359
come in with the work mindset,
that worked mentality, that blue collar mentality,

5
00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:04.920
and we're gonna take care of business. We're not gonna worry about you

6
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:07.200
know who they're, what they are, and we're gonna hang a forty piece

7
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:11.959
on them. Crispy too, crispy
spicy, I say spicy. They throw

8
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:19.000
a little spice on that. We
clairvoyant take there from a week ago by

9
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:26.120
our co host Jayu Nos for Dominus
Culprit. I'm Jason stray Horn, and

10
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:30.719
we are the host here for this
is Sparta on top of the Graduate Hotel,

11
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:36.239
the rooftop bar here in east Land
scene and Jay you talking about the

12
00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:42.359
performance from Michigan State against the akron
Zips fifty two to zip. That was

13
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:45.359
a stellar performance. It was a
stellar performance. And I see I like

14
00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:49.439
that play on words that you did
there to Zip there. Great performance by

15
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:53.799
Michigan State, excellent job by the
defense corral into the football being down on

16
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:59.400
the sideline for that game. You
could hear the physicality that Michigan State was

17
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:04.239
approaching this game defensively with they're guys
flying down. There were eleven hats swarm

18
00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:08.000
into the football every single time.
So it was absolutely a well played game

19
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:12.080
by the Spartan defensively. Wow.
I mean, you know, you looked

20
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:15.479
at how things were gonna get going
in the early pregame warm ups, and

21
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:21.199
we're gonna cut to a shot of
the MSU Hall of Fame inductee Draymond Green,

22
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:24.800
who was on hand in Spartan Stadium
when he started giving a little bit

23
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:29.879
to the Akron zips in pregame.
He's going after him a little bit there.

24
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:32.680
Yeah, yeah, you know that. That just goes to show that

25
00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:38.599
Spartys we're one. You come at
one of us, you're gonna get all

26
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:42.719
of us. It was really cool
to see, you know, obviously he

27
00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:46.400
was in the moment celebrating and enjoying
himself, and you know it's good for

28
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:49.199
those Acron boys. You know,
they had a little ten to fifteen seconds

29
00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:53.360
of who who ah rah you know
before the game. Nothing wrong with that

30
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:57.560
and that was a sign of things
to come. And as we're talking we're

31
00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:01.120
gonna go now into the MSU game

36
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:24.800
Hey, two for two, you
can't beat that, well, you

37
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:29.560
can't beat it. Can't beat that
with a whiffle bat, with a whiffle

38
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:34.120
ball bat. So breaking it down, it was the largest margin of victory

39
00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:38.840
from MSU since twenty fourteen. That
was like a little bit after your playing

40
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:42.080
days, right, Yeah, it
was a little bit after my playing days.

41
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:45.759
And I'll top he was one more
over there. That's the largest shutout

42
00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:52.439
win since nineteen fifty seven when the
Spartans put a to the Hoosiers of Indiana

43
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:54.639
fifty four to nothing. That was
a long time ago, man. Yeah,

44
00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:58.240
definitely, definitely was. And you
know, like I said, it

45
00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:00.840
was all around good game for the
Spartan and offensively, you know, I

46
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:04.159
don't think it's as sharp as they
wanted it to be, but you know,

47
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:08.240
we had production from the offensive line. We have production from the running

48
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:12.120
backs. You know, they total
nearly five hundred yards of total offense.

49
00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:15.120
You know, that's never a bad
day at the office, Never have that.

50
00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:17.720
Never. When the offense is clicking
like that, five hundred plus yards,

51
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:20.680
you know it's gonna be a good
day. And we're gonna talk about

52
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:26.040
the rushing totals as you just touched
on there, the killer bees, Brossard

53
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:30.959
and Berger totaling for nearly two hundred
and sixty yards. Yeah, it's a

54
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:35.839
really unique take the way that Michigan
State's approaching their handling of the running backs

55
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:40.519
by committee. In the past,
if you have running backs by committee,

56
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:43.600
you usually played the hot hand and
the other guy goes in. But this

57
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:49.240
time it seems like they're alternating series. So for an offensive coordinator, then

58
00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:53.560
you have to change your game plan
a little bit. For Okay, this

59
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:57.480
guy's strengths are this, this,
and this. Maybe is he a better

60
00:04:57.519 --> 00:05:00.000
pass protector than this? Can we
throw the ball so many times? You

61
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:04.639
know, with Berger in or Broussard, which one is it? So that

62
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:09.480
a lot goes into play with that, and it's a unique approach for a

63
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:12.600
running back by committee. Yeah,
it looks like they've really done a good

64
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:15.040
job of giving a balanced amount of
carries, if you will, thirty two

65
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:19.759
carries between the two one hundred and
eighty eight total yards. Berger with seventeen

66
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:26.319
for one oh seven. Broussard fifteen
carries for eighty one of those yards.

67
00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:30.319
Yeah, and those are all hard
yards, you know for those guys.

68
00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:34.000
I thought Berger he showed his explosiveness
a little bit there, you know,

69
00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:36.839
broke out on a couple of them, and the same thing with Brichard.

70
00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:41.759
He showed his toughness, you know, running between the tackles. You could

71
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:46.439
see a lot of good flashes from
those guys. And I think as they

72
00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:48.839
as the season goes on, the
more and more they get comfortable with the

73
00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:53.160
offensive line, they get in that
rhythm of the offense, you're gonna see

74
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:57.519
those flashes a lot more. But
I saw some really good jump cuts at

75
00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:00.079
the second level to spring them,
you know through those big runs. We

76
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:02.720
love jump cuts in the offensive line. I know that much, and so

77
00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:06.519
to the fans. But also let's
talk a little bit about Elijah Collins,

78
00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:10.560
who had an emergence, a guy
that we haven't seen in a while.

79
00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:13.639
Eight carries fifty seven yards. Yeah, you know, fifty seven that's his

80
00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:15.879
uh, you know, most yards
he's had in a game since a Pinstripe

81
00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:19.319
Bowl. And you know he came
out there. You know, is he

82
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:25.240
emerging as this third back, this
guy that's gonna be out there and you

83
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:28.920
know, spell those two guys or
maybe get a bit of a change of

84
00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:32.680
pace guy. The thing I really
like of Elijah Collins, I think he's

85
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:38.399
that bruising back that Michigan's He's the
one, he's the thumper out of the

86
00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:43.000
group, and if he can play
himself into a bigger role, Michigan State

87
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:46.079
will be very dangerous offensively. He
looked like he's a guy that can really

88
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:49.639
move that pile, especially in red
zones, and that's something that shoots.

89
00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:53.360
You used to do. I remember
when your playing days, being able to

90
00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:56.720
get the ball into the end zone, punching in for those scores that you

91
00:06:56.839 --> 00:07:01.800
need deep into big ten play receive
on the receiving end, Eleven different receivers

92
00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:06.560
catch the ball. Ju Jayden Reids
six catches for seventy six yards. Neon

93
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:12.560
Keon two catches for thirty six yards. But then your guy Trey Moseley two

94
00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:15.720
catches twenty six yards in a tuddy
Yeah, Trey Mosley. You know,

95
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:17.720
he's a He's a sneaky guy,
That's what I'm saying. He's this guy.

96
00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:21.240
He's a very unsung guy. You
know, he's not gonna give you

97
00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:26.959
the splash plays that Coleman and Reid
will give you. He's gonna get those

98
00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:30.439
hard, dirty yards. He's gonna
be that one that sneaks in there,

99
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:32.879
and it's kind of like, you
know, one of those big tight ends

100
00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:36.800
that a program has that just somehow
finds a way to get open. That's

101
00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:42.160
how Mosley reminds me off. But
he's in a receiver's body, and if

102
00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:46.360
defenses were gonna have to are gonna
have to start paying more attention to him

103
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:48.480
and game plan for him, especially
when they get into the red zone.

104
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:53.079
The twenty and n specifically, it
reminds me of Josiah Price back in the

105
00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:58.680
day during the rolls exactly exactly getting
those cheeky yards and those cheeky, cheeky

106
00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:03.879
scores. It will spread around with
eleven receivers on the receiving end as a

107
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:09.040
passer. Peyton Thorn eighteen to twenty
eight two hundred and twelve yards, no

108
00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:13.439
touchdowns this time two picks. Yeah, you know Thorn. The big thing

109
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:15.600
with him is, you know,
and you heard him say at the end,

110
00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:20.560
you know, in the postgame press
conference that he's upset with himself for

111
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:24.279
you know, the timing's off and
he's the bass is coming out and it's

112
00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:26.160
sailing on him a little bit.
The big thing you have to worry about

113
00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:30.800
that Jason, especially with the quarterback, is he can't get in his head.

114
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:33.240
Yeah, he has to have that
memory of a fish. A fish

115
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:37.039
hats memory for five seconds. That's
why they swim around in a circle.

116
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:39.559
Doo doo doo doo up looks,
you know, and they love it.

117
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:43.960
But so that's what a quarter he
needs to do. Great movie, but

118
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:46.759
that's what a quarterback has to do. And he can't get in his head.

119
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:50.440
And I think right now, I
don't want to say doubt, maybe

120
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:56.120
slowly creeping in, but he you
know, he's thinking about it and that's

121
00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:58.240
not a good thing. But at
the end of the day, he is

122
00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:01.080
our guy. Yeah, yeah,
he's got to turn it loose. You

123
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:03.480
know. He had a little bit
of that in the Peach Bowls. We

124
00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:07.360
talked about before a week ago against
Western Michigan facing his father. This time,

125
00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:11.360
you know, he's there's really no
excuse, if you will, for

126
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:16.759
a guy with his technique and caliber
of play and his ability. So hopefully

127
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:18.679
he can get this together because right
now he got a guy and Noah Kim,

128
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:24.799
Noah him, Noah Kim two for
two, twenty two yards and a

129
00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:28.679
touchdown. Yeah, Noah Kim really
impressed me. You know, last week

130
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:31.519
he came in for the Western game
and the first play, you know,

131
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:35.440
he released it, let it go
deep, and it was almost a diamam

132
00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:39.759
right. This week he comes in, you know, he's throwing the ball,

133
00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:43.519
and one thing that really impressed me
was that touchdown pass to Moseley here

134
00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:46.960
as you can see, you know, on this he you know, it's

135
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:50.440
a play action going to the right
and it's really tough for a right handed

136
00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:56.279
quarterback to now turn around and roll
out to the left hand side, turn

137
00:09:56.360 --> 00:09:58.840
your shoulders and get your hips in
there to deliver the ball that he did

138
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:03.200
for mostly in the end zone.
That that was a very good play and

139
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:07.039
it really really impressed me. So
if I'm Michigan State, I'm happy with

140
00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:09.919
the backup quarterback that we have.
In Noah Kim. You know, we

141
00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:13.039
just need to see a bigger body
of work from him. But I you

142
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:18.720
know, if something happens to Thorn, I think we can relax, Spartanation

143
00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:22.159
can relax, and the ball will
be in pretty good hands with Kim.

144
00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:24.000
Yeah, Spartan nation right now.
And if you look at social media,

145
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:28.200
if you're into that type of thing, there's a lot of people talking about,

146
00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:31.159
Hey, what about Noah Kim.
He's been pretty accurate. Waiting has

147
00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:35.440
turned quietly though, and we will
see Peyton Thorn get back into the player

148
00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:39.080
that we know he could be.
But kayten Hauser also a youngster, true

149
00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:43.519
freshman, getting some tick out of
California Saint John Bosco, the number one

150
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:46.039
program in the United States right now. In high school. He gets send

151
00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:48.519
for you know, one or two, you know, two yards, But

152
00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:52.679
he had a nice thirteen yard run. Yeah, I saw him total nak

153
00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:54.759
a little bit there. You know, I was really happy, and you

154
00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:56.679
know what made me excited. You
know, that's why you play these games

155
00:10:56.720 --> 00:11:01.919
early in the year, to see
what you have offensively, defensively. A

156
00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:05.320
lot of running backs. I think
four different running backs played in the game.

157
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:07.919
Three different quarterbacks played in the game. We had some different receivers go

158
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:13.200
in there and defensively, same thing. So that is the purpose of having

159
00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:16.960
these games. College football, there
is no preseason. You know, some

160
00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:18.720
might say a little bit, you
know, this is your preseason, but

161
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:22.559
college this isn't. Look you asked
jimbo at Texas A and m Well,

162
00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:28.120
ask Scott Frost Nebraska, Georgia Southern. Yeah, exactly counted. So,

163
00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:31.960
but if you're a championship caliber team, you have your team with the mindset

164
00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:35.200
of I believe you know, coach
Tucker probably said this, Hey, we're

165
00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:39.279
going in there and we want to
play a lot of guys and it's up

166
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:41.840
to the starters to get these second
string, these third string guys in there.

167
00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:46.080
These guys bust their butts in practice
for you to get ready for the

168
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:48.320
game. Now you give him opportunity
to shine under the lights in the woodshed.

169
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:52.080
That's right. He did that,
and we could go having a really

170
00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:56.759
tough, spirited week of practice.
As we heard, everyone was very on

171
00:11:56.039 --> 00:12:00.960
edge. If you will, we
could go in practice and they responded with

172
00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:05.679
a very very nice performance by the
offense. Offensive line came out with a

173
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:09.360
very strong outing two hundred and sixty
yards on the ground only allowing us sack

174
00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:13.720
ju And you know, we know
the Duplaine, Saint Mac and Carrick in

175
00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:18.799
the middle have been doing a very
nice job of getting pushed and protecting Peyton

176
00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:22.480
Thorn and Noah Kim, But it
was the tackles this week. Jared Horse,

177
00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:26.519
who got his first start after not
starting a week ago, granted out

178
00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:33.440
of the ninety point one and Pro
Football Focus number two O line offensive lineman

179
00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:37.120
in the Power five. Spencer Brown
right behind him at eighty percent point five

180
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:41.159
good fore sixteenth in the Power five. Yeah, that offensive unit, that

181
00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:46.399
offensive line unit there, you would
know at the end of the day the

182
00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:50.600
score is fifty two nothing. But
you don't see the praises in the paper

183
00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:54.840
about the offensive line. But these
guys are the jail, you know,

184
00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:58.000
as far as Michigan State's gonna go, it's how far these guys take them.

185
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:03.000
Was really refreshing and really good to
see Horse start and see him have

186
00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:07.240
a good game. I hope,
you know, whatever he has going on

187
00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:09.120
or had going on, is worked
out and he's good to go. Now

188
00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:13.679
he's out of his head a little
bit. You know, like last year

189
00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:16.559
you saw some things from him,
But I think this year he's focused,

190
00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:18.600
yeah, and ready to go.
Really worked hard to change his body in

191
00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:22.240
the offseason. Yeah, definitely.
And great job with the you know,

192
00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:24.679
strength strength coaches here in Michigan State. They really you know, get these

193
00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:28.919
guys ready to go. It's a
it's a little it's different. It's totally

194
00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:31.120
different. I was down, like
I said, on the sideline there,

195
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:35.039
offensive lineman body are not what it
used to be. No, not even

196
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:37.320
clothes, you know. Yeah,
take it from those who know. Yeah,

197
00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:41.600
it's not what it used to be. These guys are lean, they're

198
00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:45.639
thick, and they're quick. Yeah, lean, bick and quick. Yeah.

199
00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:48.840
So and that's where football's going these
days, you know. And that's

200
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:52.200
how you can have these fifty two
to nothing scores as opposed to these seventeen

201
00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:58.919
fourteen games. Yeah. Jason Novak
MSU strength and conditioning coach, guy who's

202
00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:01.919
been been around, been in the
pros for a long time, and img

203
00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:07.559
as a strength conditioning guy and gets
these players stronger through the season. I

204
00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:11.440
remember back in our era, maintaining
strength was a focus, just trying to

205
00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:16.039
maintain Now they're actually getting personal records
prs through the season. Towards the end

206
00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:18.919
of the year, which is phenomenal
if you think about it. Now we

207
00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:22.679
go on to the defensive side of
the ball and they pitch a shutout.

208
00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:26.720
On the defensive side of the ball, pass rush yields five sacks. It's

209
00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:31.120
Jacobe Winwick once again. Number four, three solos, two assists, five

210
00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:35.639
total tackles, two and a half
tackles for loss, one and a half

211
00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:39.159
sacks, and force fumbles all over
the place. You know, as a

212
00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:46.120
defense, it's almost like a pitcher
throwing a no hitter. At what point

213
00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:50.240
do you look up and be like, oh, wow, we have a

214
00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:54.399
goose egg up there right now.
You know, how do we keep it

215
00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:58.519
up? And you want to as
a defensive coordinator, you want to go

216
00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:01.399
into the next week's saying, great
job, we shut him out. We

217
00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:05.120
did what we were supposed to do. As players. Oh yeah, that

218
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:09.320
pressure starts mounting, especially when the
game's out of hand in the fourth quarter.

219
00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:13.000
They put the second string in,
the third string in. These starters

220
00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:18.039
are up chair, these guys on
because they want that shutout. So it's,

221
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:20.279
you know, something really impressive when
you get a shutout in Division one

222
00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:26.440
football. Kudos to the defensive staff
to the players and winmen. How what

223
00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:30.559
more can he say about this guy? I mean, this was all over

224
00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:33.559
the field, and we're gonna show
some highlights of winmen with forced rumbles down

225
00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:39.039
the field, I mean, fumble
recoveries. He's just just an incredible athlete.

226
00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:43.240
The guy who was named Defensive Player
of the Week by the Big Ten

227
00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:46.080
two weeks in the row, the
first time ever in Michigan state history.

228
00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:50.399
Yeah. You know, great player, great body of work that he displays

229
00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:52.799
every time he steps onto the field. He has that go to work mentality,

230
00:15:54.399 --> 00:16:00.360
great technical moves. Shout out to
coach Jordan, you know, because

231
00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:03.799
I think that's what's helping him.
Uh. He's great with his hands,

232
00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:07.559
using his hands, his swim moves, his rips, his dips, everything

233
00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:11.600
and that having those things in your
tool belt. Oh man, a tackle

234
00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:17.159
sees you. It's a long week
for a tackle. You would know that.

235
00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:18.919
Oh, I'm telling you if you're
watching film and you see this guy,

236
00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:22.279
because usually some guys have one or
two moves, and you have to

237
00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:26.600
prepare for all Big Ten. If
you have two moves, right too,

238
00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:30.960
this guy has got unlimited Seriously,
looks like von Miller out there. A

239
00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:37.679
guy who has five excellent moves in
his tool belt. Spin cycles, you

240
00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:40.399
know, double dips, retraced ribs, the ghosts move. I mean,

241
00:16:40.559 --> 00:16:45.279
this guy has all the tools that
most college athletes aren't face. So if

242
00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:48.720
you're if you're a tackle and college
are you're watching that film and this is

243
00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:52.000
the guy you have to block,
you're looking at your scouting report, You're

244
00:16:52.039 --> 00:16:56.960
looking at his profile, his bio. What are you thinking throughout the week?

245
00:16:56.120 --> 00:17:00.519
I'm thinking about getting Limited Fournette from
the Tampa Bay Buccaneer come up and

246
00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:03.920
help me chip blocking like he did. You know my man from the Cowboys.

247
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:11.480
Yeah, person eleven from Heaven a
cordon to skip. That's what I'm

248
00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:15.359
looking for. You need to chip
a nasty chip block to set the tone

249
00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:17.920
a little bit, because that's that's
all you really have against a player of

250
00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:19.400
this gal. Yeah, and he
said it in the post game show,

251
00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:22.920
and you're gonna start seeing team game
playing for him. They're gonna start sending

252
00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:26.680
two guys, you know, three
guys, two guys on him. I'm

253
00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:30.759
running back, coming out of the
backfield chipping him. And what that's gonna

254
00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:33.960
do? Freeze up everybody everyone else. Let these other dogs hunt Yeah,

255
00:17:34.039 --> 00:17:37.359
that's what's gonna happen. Yeah,
I mean we think about that young guns

256
00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:42.880
we're talking about. You know,
obviously for Jacoby Women, Pro Football Focus

257
00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:49.640
grades ninety one. In his first
two weeks, six tackles, six assists

258
00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:56.400
for twelve totals six and a half
tackles for loss, four force fumbles,

259
00:17:56.440 --> 00:18:00.359
one recovery, and the sex just
continue to pile up up for Jacoby Women.

260
00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:04.000
Now, sitting at I believe it's
five and a half sacks total for

261
00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:07.839
Jacoby winmen. But then you know, as you said, young guns are

262
00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:12.400
getting involved. Freshman, true freshman
out of Georgia Zion Young gets his first

263
00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:17.000
career sack. Yeah, you know
that. You can't script it better.

264
00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:19.359
You know, last week we had
a newcomer and against Western, you know,

265
00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:22.640
first play it's a touchdown. And
then this week, you know,

266
00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:27.200
a true freshman coming in and that's
the buzz and that's what that's the type

267
00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:30.480
of team Coach Tucker's trying to form. Here. If you're a recruit sitting

268
00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:34.759
at home and you watch a Michigan
State game, you out the window.

269
00:18:34.799 --> 00:18:37.119
I don't care if I'm a freshman, I'm going in. I have the

270
00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:41.279
opportunity to play. If I work
my butt off, I can go and

271
00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:44.920
I can play. And so that's
what's happening right now. And I'm so

272
00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:51.319
happy for those guys. But the
defense was swarming. I gotta give Derek

273
00:18:51.319 --> 00:18:52.960
Harmon, another big fellow in the
middle got his first sack too, and

274
00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:56.880
the fumble recovery on that hit that
Cal Holliday put in there. Man,

275
00:18:57.000 --> 00:19:00.720
cal Holliday, what a day he
had. Yeah, you know, didn't

276
00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:04.640
have the huge tackle numbers performance out
of the second level they're talking about the

277
00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:11.000
linebackers, the Cal Halliday Brule and
company Van Sumerin they had pedestriate numbers,

278
00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:15.319
but they were very effective in that
big hit by cal Halliday on acron Zips

279
00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:19.960
which caused a fumble and recovered by
Jacoby Winman exactly. So you know,

280
00:19:21.200 --> 00:19:23.880
the defense is playing well. They're
swarming to the football. You can't ask

281
00:19:23.880 --> 00:19:29.119
her anything better. And that's what
they're gonna have to do going into the

282
00:19:29.240 --> 00:19:32.359
Washington game. Yeah, Washington game
is gonna be a big one coming up.

283
00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:36.720
A mere speed leads the team in
tackles from the corner position. Now

284
00:19:36.759 --> 00:19:40.599
this is not a normal looking cornerback. He's one of the first guys off

285
00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:42.240
the bus type of cornerback. He
out of Georgia. He's the one that

286
00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:45.759
you go out, you pull up
to the stadium. Hey, speed,

287
00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:49.279
you go out first, you go
off, you're going for the coin toss.

288
00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:52.440
Speed, you go out there.
You know he has the one long

289
00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:56.279
sleeve on the leg, one short
sleeve. If you're gonna have that swag

290
00:19:56.319 --> 00:19:59.920
and dress and be like that,
you gotta be a guy. Yeah,

291
00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:03.640
you gotta be a guy. You
can't just come in and be a you

292
00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:07.079
know, look at you know,
look good and stand on the sideline.

293
00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:08.599
You got to be on the field
and being a guy. And right now

294
00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:11.440
he's doing that. And it is
to say, you know, what does

295
00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:15.920
it say about the scheme on your
corner is your leading tackle? Hey,

296
00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:18.799
you know it's a little bit.
It's a little different. It's a little

297
00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:22.759
different. But you got a guy
who's big. He's six'y four on

298
00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:25.160
the low side. He's got a
lot of range. You can cover.

299
00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:30.079
But nine tackles, five solo,
four assists a tackle for a loss.

300
00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:33.039
I mean a guy who's just all
over the field as a cornerback, and

301
00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:36.799
that's just another linebacker if you will, that can also cover down the field

302
00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:41.200
right exactly. So I'm excited for
this defense. It's you know, you

303
00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:45.960
can't just help. But if you're
in the defensive room at Michigan State and

304
00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:48.519
you know, it's not a matter
of if, it's a matter of when

305
00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:51.480
you're gonna get your shot to eat. Yeah, it's true. I mean

306
00:20:51.559 --> 00:20:55.480
it gets speaking of eating with pass
breakups, you gotta talk about Charles Brantley,

307
00:20:55.480 --> 00:20:59.960
who had a phenomenal game with three
pass breakup Charles Brantley, This guy

308
00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:03.279
I impressed me down on the sideline. I tell you, I promise you

309
00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:10.519
mind leg is bigger than he is, but my leg is bigger than Brantley.

310
00:21:10.920 --> 00:21:15.559
But this guy is a dog through
and through. He had so many

311
00:21:17.400 --> 00:21:22.640
good tackles coming up. Better hitter
in the big ten, not at all.

312
00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:25.559
And the way that and the thing
that impressed me is he's hitting the

313
00:21:25.640 --> 00:21:29.480
right way. He's coming in head
up, good form, good position,

314
00:21:29.559 --> 00:21:32.279
and uh, you know, happy
for him. You know, little guys,

315
00:21:32.640 --> 00:21:36.400
you have a chance. Little guys
have a chance to you know.

316
00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:40.799
Right now, misis State and on
the men they're getting practicing, getting ready

317
00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:44.759
for that University of Washington game.
They're going across the country and at the

318
00:21:44.839 --> 00:21:48.000
game. There were some festivities going
on down there in the game, and

319
00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:51.960
you know he had the chance to
run into the two thousand and two Final

320
00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:56.079

It was a festive atmosphere for Michigan State.

342
00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:26.440
We had a lot of people back
in town for the MSU a Hall

343
00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:30.119
of Fame induction ceremony. We saw
Draymond Green, who you got to spend

344
00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:32.559
some time with on the sideline,
and then Greg Jones, a guy,

345
00:23:32.799 --> 00:23:36.440
a former Spartan dog who was there
with you. You had a nice interview

346
00:23:36.440 --> 00:23:37.680
with him, but you got a
chance to catch up with Greg. Yeah,

347
00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:41.359
I really got to catch up with
Greg. I was a senior when

348
00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:44.519
Greg was a freshman. He came
in and played it and had immediate impact

349
00:23:44.599 --> 00:23:48.039
as a true freshman and you know
that goes to say why he's in the

350
00:23:48.119 --> 00:23:49.599
Hall of Fame right now? And
you know you looking for your call.

351
00:23:51.240 --> 00:23:53.000
I'm so waiting, you know,
I keep going to my phone services and

352
00:23:53.039 --> 00:23:56.079
you're like, hey, man,
hey, hey, is this thing on.

353
00:23:56.319 --> 00:24:00.559
But maybe we get it postulously like
herb Atteley, which something he shouldn't

354
00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:03.240
have got it possumously because he decided
to forego it himself while he was still

355
00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:07.000
here. But for us regular guys, maybe maybe yeah. You know,

356
00:24:07.079 --> 00:24:11.680
your grandkids can't accept exactly, you
know, I just I just want to

357
00:24:11.720 --> 00:24:17.359
go to dinner. I want a
free meal. That's awesome. And speaking

358
00:24:17.400 --> 00:24:21.000
of Spartan dogs, you know we're
gonna talk a little bit about our former

359
00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:26.400
running back compadre, not ju but
Le'vion. How about him this weekend getting

360
00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:30.920
in the boxing ring. You know, I'm like, way before this came

361
00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:34.440
about, I seen a follow Olivion
on Instagram. I see him in the

362
00:24:34.559 --> 00:24:38.200
gym and he's thrown hands, he's
doing boxing, and it's like, wow,

363
00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:41.640
Okay, this guy looks good.
He looks he looks legit. And

364
00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:48.480
then he takes on future Hall of
Famer and a former All Pro running back

365
00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:52.599
Adrian Peterson did to make you nervous. It made me nervous because apiece taller

366
00:24:52.759 --> 00:24:55.640
has to reach. Yeah, and
so that's why I was like, oh

367
00:24:55.680 --> 00:24:56.839
man, what's going on here?
But he gave He gave him with a

368
00:24:57.000 --> 00:25:00.599
smooth one and you could he it
in AP's hest when he got hit.

369
00:25:00.680 --> 00:25:04.160
It stunned him for a little bit
deer in the headlights and those knee buckled

370
00:25:04.519 --> 00:25:07.920
and went, oh, he's like, it's suck. He won two three,

371
00:25:08.680 --> 00:25:11.799
He was out of there. He
was trying when he got back up.

372
00:25:11.640 --> 00:25:15.240
Look at the tape here he gets
back up, he's trying to tell

373
00:25:15.240 --> 00:25:18.880
the ref. You know, I'm
good. He wasn't good. Good to

374
00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:26.319
go and that was a rat for
ap And it was just good to see

375
00:25:26.319 --> 00:25:29.880
Spartans winning all over on the field, off the field, you know,

376
00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:33.000
in the business world and everything that's
