Here come the Spartans down the sideline. The episode Jalen Watts Jackson touchdown.

33
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:38.120
Ms Hu fucks no flags these flags, my god, piling on each other

34
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:44.360
in the end zone. It's over. The Spartans win again. The Spartans

35
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:51.319
win again. George, what a
call? My god, My god,

36
00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:57.360
how did that happen? I wish
we didn't see that, because that's what

37
00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:03.680
we broke down. Oh yeah,
a lot, just the sheer pandemonium in

38
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:08.439
the booth, and there's a lot
of things. Let's let's clear something like

39
00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:13.080
all that screaming. That's not straight. I know I thought it was.

40
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:15.879
But they start here. I was
like, was that who is that?

41
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:23.240
That was Larry Sernic? That was
Larry Absolutely, you know, I can't

42
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:31.000
even get that high. I was
like, no, yeah, people do

43
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:34.720
think that was that was me screaming
off Mike. But Larry Cernic a long

44
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:41.040
time statistician who now lives out in
Minnesota, so we might see him next

45
00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:44.079
week when we go out there to
see the Golden Gophers. But yeah,

46
00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:46.959
that was him. A lot of
screaming. And I mean, I like

47
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:49.120
those the two guys the Spartans that
they're trying to get the papers ready so

48
00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:53.839
they can show it. They were
called under pressure, man. I like

49
00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:57.360
those guys but yeah, I like
the other ones where you're like, you

50
00:04:57.439 --> 00:05:04.279
know, they start talking age stuff, they're looking at Mischian. Oh could

51
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:09.839
you Like I almost wish I was
in the stadium like around the fans at

52
00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:13.319
that time. That could have been
a that would have been fun. Whoever

53
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:16.120
was still there, because I know
there were some who had left the stadium,

54
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:20.079
but everybody kind of remembers where they
were at that moment when they heard

55
00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:26.759
that. Here's here's here's here's the
question. Where's that rank on the best

56
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:29.920
endings of a college football game?
You know, we got like, you

57
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:34.240
know, the UC Berkeley like that, that one Stanford band you got,

58
00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:39.240
But that one right there is like, I mean, is number one.

59
00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:43.519
Because my man fumbled with too much
mother popcorn sideline. He thought they had

60
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:46.399
a closed deal, right, I
mean, good lord, I remember where

61
00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:50.480
I was at. I was in
Dallas bar the Misis State Spartans Alumni chapter,

62
00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:57.759
and I yelled, Kevin Garnet,
anything is possible before oh yeah,

63
00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:03.519
and I was like I called,
I mean, I would like to take

64
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:06.360
credit for it, but I did
say that like anything is possible. It

65
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:11.439
truly is like we can block this
thing, but like to be no time

66
00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:15.519
expired and you run in and he
almost got caught, but man, like

67
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:17.279
I would have somebody to pick him
up, carry him in there. That's

68
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:21.480
the best. I'm glad it was
us versus the other side because I feel

69
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:26.079
like, oh, it's happens to
us, right like, but that was

70
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:35.399
an epic like back in what that
what year was a four when yeah,

71
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:38.959
yeah, man he went, he
went hand on us. But to kind

72
00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:42.199
of flip side of it, now
we do that at the Big House like

73
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:46.240
epic epic. Yeah, yeah,
what do you think too? Like for

74
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:49.240
me, I think that that rings
at the top below the kick six and

75
00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:56.800
the Iron Bowl Alabama Auburn, and
then that that Cal Berkeley versus Stanford with

76
00:06:56.839 --> 00:06:59.160
the band. It used to be
the top one, but you know,

77
00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:02.920
more my in football, this is
this is hard to beat. Yeah,

78
00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:06.120
I think, without a doubt,
I think this is the number one.

79
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:13.040
And then for me the second one
would probably be that Colorado Michigan, that

80
00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:17.240
the hell Cordell Stewart, that hell
Mary there and then the kick six.

81
00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:20.879
For me, that's my those are
my orders there. But yeah, that

82
00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:26.439
definitely is that all time you know, number one call because at that point,

83
00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:29.560
you I know, I was sitting. I'm not like, oh,

84
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:32.199
otis call. He's like, anything's
possible. He still had faith. I

85
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:35.879
was texting. I was texting,
We had a group chat. We're like,

86
00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:40.519
man, we're gonna have to walk
to Alley's. You know, year

87
00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:47.279
you're conceded. I was waiting though, and then that happened and I just

88
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:55.040
lose it. Yeah, on the
air, you know, full disposure.

89
00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:58.160
You know, George and I are
trying to figure out because you know,

90
00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:01.680
at that point you got ten seconds
ago. As a player, in my

91
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:03.199
mindset is like, Okay, how
are we gonna get in position to try

92
00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:07.800
to get in precision to throw hail
Mary. I think we're down by four

93
00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:11.279
at that point in the game.
So like, you know, even if

94
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:16.560
even if you fumble and recovered that, like just strategically we would we wouldn't

95
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:18.720
have time. We didn't. I
mean, we wouldn't have time if you

96
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:20.839
just ran a little bit. But
you watch that and we didn't, then

97
00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:24.519
you get the fumble recovery, Like
there's no else to play, Like you

98
00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:30.680
can't talk about no saving points,
no cover over under like that was football

99
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:37.000
Gods, Like I mean, the
whole reason behind like the whoa because I'm

100
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:39.559
hoping like, is he gonna go
out of bounds? Is he gonna If

101
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:43.039
he's going to go out of bounds, you want time left. You don't

102
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:45.480
want to run out of bounds.
You know, clock strike zero, you

103
00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:50.440
run out of bounds because you're dead
right, And so yeah, I'm like

104
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:54.600
holding my breath and at the same
time trying to keep my emotions in check

105
00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:56.639
because you know, you don't want
to lose to them. And even being

106
00:08:56.679 --> 00:09:01.399
on broadcast, it doesn't matter,
like you still have you still bleed green

107
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:05.600
and white. You still feel like
emotional if you're about to lose the game,

108
00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:09.080
and I can't just break down on
the air, you know what I

109
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:13.960
mean. So I'm like, all
right, you know we got a chance

110
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:16.360
here, you know, like like
them five star generals, you know,

111
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:20.919
everybody look in your eyes and see
you know, you set the tone of

112
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:24.600
what the team's gonna do, but
not the team in this case. More

113
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:30.080
might more like people listening on on
the air. He stays in and somehow

114
00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:31.759
got all the way across that line. Man, you know, Jake but

115
00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:37.279
tackles him and then who chased him
down from Michigan It was Jake but and

116
00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:39.720
tackled him, fell on his on
his hip, and he broke his hip

117
00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:45.120
there. But you know after that, Jalen watched Jackson. Jalen watch Jackson

118
00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:48.399
will never have to pay for a
drink, and he says his entire life

119
00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:56.519
ever, he was talking about that
when he did it. But to your

120
00:09:56.559 --> 00:10:01.039
point, his name is stamped in
history for time in time forever, Like

121
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:05.799
there's no way, no way anybody
else is gonna take that shine. I

122
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:09.720
don't care, like even Canin like
you did some work, but that whole

123
00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:15.480
there's no way that someone takes and
replaces his name in the books, exactly,

124
00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:18.600
no, not in one single play. Canine had a herculean effort for

125
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:22.720
one player over the course of the
game in this rivalry, but no greater

126
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:26.480
play than that play right there by
Jalen wats Jackson. Look, guys,

127
00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:31.960
you know there was a lot going
on outside of football this time of the

128
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:35.960
year otis and you know right now, let's get to the Spartan athletics update

129
00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:45.919
by our own Brendan Durivage. Lots
of actually to get into this week Spartan

130
00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:48.799
Athletics up. There were last night
MSU volleyball took down that school down the

131
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:52.879
road three sets, to one to
sweep the season series against the Wolverines Taylor.

132
00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:56.240
You got to no one to hold
them, no one to fold them

133
00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:00.960
again. Shine for the Spartans with
seventeen kills. Men's soccer unbeaten on the

134
00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:05.159
season after a two to two draw
against Maryland on Sunday, MSU is down

135
00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:07.799
two to nil at halftime, but
battled back to force the draw, remaining

136
00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:11.799
the only undefeated team into Big Ten
and rising to twentieth of the United Soccer

137
00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:16.159
Coaching Point. Hockey's Joey Larson found
the back of the net three times at

138
00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:20.039
MSU's five to three victory over air
Force last week. The hat trick earned

139
00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:24.919
Larson Big Ten Second Star of the
Week honors, and women's soccer got their

140
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:28.720
first ever road winning the Scataway on
Sunday, defeating Rogiz to to nil to

141
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:33.480
finish the regular season road schedule undefeated
for the second year in a row.

142
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:37.240
The Spartans wrapped their season with back
to back home games against Illinois and Iole.

143
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:39.159
Make sure to come out and support
your Spartans all year long and as

at, so come in and gauge and

152
00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:33.039
enjoy those festivities. We've never really
had a tailgate or something like that from

153
00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:35.519
a fandom standpoint for hockey. So
it's kind of your trial and error there.

154
00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:43.559
But time time is a six six, six o'clock, seven o'clock I'm

155
00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:50.600
sorry, correction, game is at
second five thirty, five thirty, come

156
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:54.919
all the way up to they call
it face off? Is it face off?

157
00:12:54.399 --> 00:13:01.559
Yeah? Drop there you go,
So five thirty to seven o'clock and

158
00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:07.039
until once the puck drops. Uh, they'll be out there engaging with Spartan

159
00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:09.519
fans. But this is where you
got to get your calendar right. You

160
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:15.720
got to have your your full out
schedule, your staff situated because you got

161
00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:18.559
too many sports going at once,
and so you don't want to drop anything

162
00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:24.480
from a standpoint of corporate partners activations. But this is where the busiest time

163
00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:28.639
fall fall is in the air.
But a lot of sporting events are going

164
00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:31.799
at the same time. So come
on, support everybody that you can and

165
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:35.039
then be be care. That's you
know, for the Spartans obviously, but

166
00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:39.600
coming in this Canisius Golden Griffin,
the school from Buffalo coming in for the

167
00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:50.200
hockey game. So of course New
York, I know, coming in hot

168
00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:54.559
late on Friday night. So yeah, tomorrow we'll figure that one out,

169
00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:56.279
man, maybe the after party or
third period or something like that. I

170
00:13:56.279 --> 00:14:00.000
can catch it. She's gonna be
there. I'm sure it's gonna be.

171
00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:05.399
Do they have beverages going on in
mon Is that happening? Nothing yet after

172
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:09.600
January one? So okay, yeah, okay, they've been walking, they've

173
00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:13.159
been walking it getting set up for
success and uh but January one, any

174
00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:20.519
any games after that, you will
see beverages or libations being partaked. What's

175
00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:26.000
what's the new words? Straight?
What's the that's the word of the day

176
00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:31.799
of Jordan. But yeah, hockey
just goes a lot better with beer.

177
00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:37.039
It just seems you know, cold
ice hockey beer. That's that's one of

178
00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:41.600
those things. Guys look good news
and Spartan world like, you know,

179
00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:46.559
there's been some bad news recently about
de commitments, but Michigan State lands three

180
00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:52.840
star defensive back Keith Shawan Williams.
Yeah, that's a big pickup for the

181
00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:56.000
Spartans, you know dB there.
And the guy that really had an integral

182
00:14:56.039 --> 00:15:00.080
part in bringing to Key Shaan in
is UH coach Harlan Barnett. And so

183
00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:03.440
you know, it shows that coach
Bartnett really loves the university. He's still

184
00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:07.799
going out recruiting, actively recruiting,
bringing guys in, and it shows that

185
00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:11.120
Key Sean is you know, committing
to the school. You know, we

186
00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:13.360
talk about that, you know,
figuring out a way to you know,

187
00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:18.879
figure why you're going to a school. And obviously he likes what Michigan State

188
00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:22.039
has to offer as a school wise
there. So you know, right now,

189
00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:24.320
it's still early. You know,
he still can change his mind depending

190
00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:28.279
on who the next coach is coming
in, but from right now, he

191
00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:31.080
believes in Michigan State and so that's
why he made the decision come you know,

192
00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:35.200
that's great. You see people leaving
or decommitting. It's really cool to

193
00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:39.679
see someone you know stick and make
that commitment. Yeah, and I think

194
00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:43.120
Coach b you know, good good, you know, correct or to add

195
00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:48.200
on to what you just said,
because Burnette is not stagnant right like he

196
00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:52.559
is thinking for thinking, and you
know, the business doesn't stop, you

197
00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:56.159
know, regardless of what's happening record
or even the program where it's at.

198
00:15:56.519 --> 00:16:00.480
Uh, it does help the Jalen
Thompson who's already in that this class is

199
00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:07.279
playing like right next to with Keishawan. But you know, it's an element

200
00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:11.759
that in the article that came out
is that he's he's a top talent out

201
00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:15.840
of Tennessee, like yeah, three
stars. But this guy is having expected

202
00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:19.919
to have a great season senior season
with the with the best right now.

203
00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:26.039
So I think this is a good
testament to Coach bu being a guy who

204
00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:30.559
goes after the character guys and that's
gonna fit the model of a defensive back.

205
00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:33.600
And uh, you know when you
see six, you know this guy

206
00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:37.679
can potentially put on pounds and be
like two five, right, so you

207
00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:41.200
know, you know, thank you
for Tony l like he did tear his

208
00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:45.480
a cl so in his junior year, So schools obviously kind of like not

209
00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:48.279
drop, but like kind of take
the take him off the radar, like

210
00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:53.080
he's he's already got a major injury. But to the true testament to coach

211
00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:56.600
b and then obviously our coaching staff, So Gatto, we're not just we're

212
00:16:56.639 --> 00:17:00.879
not sitting and you know, being
staffed and being complacent here, We're going

213
00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:06.000
out still getting guys and recruiting guys
for the future of Michigan State football.

214
00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:11.079
Question. One other guy we've had
on the show a few times that talked

215
00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:14.440
about having an injury his junior year
and a lot of teams laid off of

216
00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:18.519
him came back in was Javon Ringer, Right, I know that you know

217
00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:21.839
about that too. Yeah. Absolutely, rings as a guy that you know

218
00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:23.920
had that knee injury in high school
and a lot of teams shied away from

219
00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:27.279
him. But he, you know, Michigan State stuck with him. He's

220
00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:30.680
stuck with Michigan State and he definitely
produced that Michigan State Now he's in the

221
00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:34.799
Hall of Fame without question. We'll
take that. Hey, you know,

222
00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:38.640
lofty goals for Keishawan Williams not trying
to put anything on you, my man,

223
00:17:38.680 --> 00:17:41.640
but thank you for making the commitment, the right choice come to Michigan

224
00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:45.759
State University. You know, listen, all this stuff what's going on now

225
00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:51.160
will blow over and the sun will
come up tomorrow and hopefully comes up on

226
00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:56.640
Saturday against Michigan in the rivalry game. Guys, we talked about it.

227
00:17:56.680 --> 00:17:59.799
We touched on in a little bit
last show. But oh, as I

228
00:17:59.880 --> 00:18:03.440
know you know about this. The
Green and White game, the basketball scrimmage

229
00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:07.319
is happening on Saturdays, same day. That's the big game. Hey man,

230
00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:12.000
you want to add another event to
the to the schedule, but this

231
00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:17.359
is an opportunity to you know,
I feel like somebody whoever made the decision,

232
00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:22.079
I feel like father Tom Coach Zzo
and the staff there, you know,

233
00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:26.279
say, taking it into consideration.
The weather, uh, you know,

234
00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:29.119
it may be raining, it may
be gloomy, whatever the case may

235
00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:34.599
be. But Spartan fans can get
inside of Breslin and take kind of another

236
00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:40.240
purview of what they may have saw
at Michigan State. Madness. But those

237
00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:42.680
Green and White scrimmagers, man like
they are they are intense, but they

238
00:18:42.680 --> 00:18:48.240
are one of the best competitive back
and forth with the inner squad that it

239
00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:52.160
gives you a little purview or preview
of what's gonna happen when we start exhibition

240
00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:57.400
next next week. So all good
to have an event that happens that morning

241
00:18:57.480 --> 00:19:02.240
to get people here, you know, come early tailgate, but be able

242
00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:04.680
to walk in there and see a
scrimmage and then go back out and partake

243
00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:10.160
in the festivities of football fandom.
It's a great, great environment to add

244
00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:15.400
to what's happening Saturday already, man, and doors open at two o'clock.

245
00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:19.799
Scrimmage starts at two thirty, and
it's the right price to otis free none

246
00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:29.000
to nine price best rice. I
mean that Presidents better be rocket, you

247
00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:32.359
know, with all the people that
are in town for that particular game,

248
00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:36.599
obviously two thirty. I mean,
that'll be great to cheer the boys on

249
00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:41.079
in on the hard court and then
come over to Spartan Stadium obviously to cheer

250
00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:47.440
the football team on the victory over
those guys from the school down the road

251
00:19:47.839 --> 00:19:52.680
to you know, when you're talking
about the rivalry game, what is your

252
00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:56.720
fondest memory as a player, Man, there's so many different memories there,

253
00:19:57.119 --> 00:20:02.559
you know. Obviously I had a
you know, really good relationship with you

254
00:20:02.599 --> 00:20:04.559
know, Michigan running back at the
time. Now they're running backs coach Mike

255
00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:07.599
cart. You know, we played
against each other in high school, went

256
00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:11.599
several recruiting trips together. Uh,
you know, playing against him, you

257
00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:15.279
know, unfortunately, you know,
we were one of those teams and we

258
00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:19.680
my class we were zero and four
against Michigan and a lot of close ones

259
00:20:19.759 --> 00:20:23.279
that uh you know, my red
shirt freshman year at Michigan, the triple

260
00:20:23.359 --> 00:20:29.680
overtime game when uh mister Edwards went
off on us there. You know,

261
00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:33.720
that's that's something that sticks out there, you know, having the opportunity to

262
00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:37.200
win it and you know, had
kickers you know, didn't come through.

263
00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:41.839
Uh So a lot of different things
on the sidelines there, but you know

264
00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:45.039
a lot of good, hard fought
games, and it just really instilled the

265
00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:48.359
hatred for you know, that school
down the road in me and instilled you

266
00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:52.640
know, like I will continue to
be you know, very very petty.

267
00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:56.599
You know, whatever chance I can
get to take, you know, knock

268
00:20:56.640 --> 00:21:00.759
them off, I will take that. And that's why Hi, you know,

269
00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:03.519
I'll be the you know, we
talked a little bit about it,

270
00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:07.279
Taylor Luuan. He's sending these messages
out and doing all these things. I'm

271
00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:08.640
like, yeah, he should.
He has pride in his school. You

272
00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:11.640
know, we can, we can
sit and get on him and say,

273
00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:15.759
hey, you know you're one and
one and three against you know, Michigan

274
00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:18.359
State. Yeah, but he still
went there. He played in the game

275
00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:22.480
that the hatred's real, So he's
gonna do that. I was zero and

276
00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:25.759
four and I would still do that
after we win. I'm still gonna do

277
00:21:25.839 --> 00:21:27.640
something like that. And I didn't
win against them, but I played it,

278
00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:33.960
you know everything. So definitely the
hatred still there. The rivalry still

279
00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:37.359
runs very, very deep. You
know, we talked about it on Tuesday.

280
00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:40.400
I'm not a kid that was born
and raised in Michigan, but once

281
00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:42.759
I came here, I really learned
that rivalry and really took to it,

282
00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:45.559
you know, at a you know, a young age of a freshman,

283
00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:51.880
and you ran with it. You're
bringing up Taylor to wine and we gotta

284
00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:55.920
we want to play that. We
can. I know it's not it may

285
00:21:55.960 --> 00:22:00.559
not be a family friendly or post
that he made. Well, we got

286
00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:04.039
to talk about that in a minute. The Taylor won comments from him.

287
00:22:04.079 --> 00:22:08.440
He likes making a lot of comments. He loves talking Chew said, he's

288
00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:11.200
all for the talking, but we
gotta let everybody hear what he's sad to

289
00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:17.319
say. I need to stop off
and my daughter's watching a Laddin real quick,

290
00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:19.440
long day at the bus, and
I get to my mentions. I

291
00:22:19.480 --> 00:22:23.039
made a little comment today Michigan State
basketball school. Is that a true statement?

292
00:22:23.119 --> 00:22:26.119
Yeah, it absolutely is. And
people, I see the comments,

293
00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:30.359
and first off, I'll give you
guys a little bit of flowers. Shout

294
00:22:30.359 --> 00:22:34.000
out to State fans coming out my
neck, bro coming and get me ah

295
00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:38.759
negative forty three rushing yards one in
three versus Michigan or Michigan State. Your

296
00:22:38.839 --> 00:22:44.160
garbage, Your garbage. Brother.
You're right. When I was at Michigan,

297
00:22:44.240 --> 00:22:48.359
we sucked. We were terrible.
We didn't stand a chance every single

298
00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:52.759
year. But guess what you State
fans keep looking at the past, brother,

299
00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:56.079
Go ahead, look right in front
of you, because staring at you

300
00:22:56.119 --> 00:23:00.720
on Saturday afternoon is a great train
coming. Yeah. I'm not on the

301
00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:03.720
team, God willing. I wish
to god. I played on one of

302
00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:07.039
Jim Harball's teams at University of Michigan. They are locked and loaded. They

303
00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:11.079
have a locker room that is about
the vibe. That is about the boys,

304
00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:15.039
and they're about to put fifty at
least on you mother. I can't

305
00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:22.119
wait. I cannot wait for Saturday
when you guys somehow delusionally talk yourself into

306
00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:23.640
well, we got a shot.
You think about it. Their defense isn't

307
00:23:23.640 --> 00:23:26.480
that good, and they can't run
the ball that well, blah blah blah,

308
00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:30.000
We're gonna get after them. I
can't wait for that moment, because

309
00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:33.160
when you do, that's when you
have hope. And I love I love

310
00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:37.160
the fact I can't do it.
I'm just an alumni. But I love

311
00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:42.759
the fact that my boys and ann
Arbor are gonna come and pluck away every

312
00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:48.160
bit of hope you guys have.
God bless and go blue. As a

313
00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:52.200
guy growing up in the state of
Michigan, you know, born in Texas,

314
00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:59.200
right, but tell boy Texas boy, but lived in Michigan Flint to

315
00:23:59.240 --> 00:24:03.799
be exact, how was this rivalry
for you as a player at Michigan State.

316
00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:08.480
Oh, I mean it meant uh. I've always came from the mantra

317
00:24:08.599 --> 00:24:12.880
or even the angle perspective of like, I don't care about any other game.

318
00:24:14.200 --> 00:24:17.359
Like, yes, I would like
to win a Big Ten championship.

319
00:24:17.359 --> 00:24:19.599
I would like to have did that, like to like win one of the

320
00:24:19.599 --> 00:24:25.319
bowl games postseason, but you beat
the team down the road, man,

321
00:24:25.359 --> 00:24:29.839
like I'm good not saying that,
you know, I'm complacent of after that,

322
00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:33.559
but you this is when you you
mark on your calendar of like you

323
00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:37.039
got to ball out because you know
typically they are they are right when they

324
00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:42.519
come in, and so it's an
element of this is nice little draft preview

325
00:24:42.640 --> 00:24:45.480
for you know what you're playing against
their top receivers. They always had a

326
00:24:45.519 --> 00:24:51.079
good core receivers, always had a
running back and had a stud quarterback.

327
00:24:51.160 --> 00:24:53.440
So if you're able to do that
and play well, it was kind of

328
00:24:53.480 --> 00:24:57.240
a good thing for for for your
career. But you know, my my,

329
00:24:57.240 --> 00:25:02.279
my aunt played basketball Michigan, so
it's very deep rooted in the family

330
00:25:02.319 --> 00:25:04.720
that you know, we went full
a full divide. Now, I loved

331
00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:08.319
I feel like every defensive back or
every young kid growing up loved Charles Woodson.

332
00:25:08.359 --> 00:25:11.559
I don't care who or what you
mat from. Like the way he

333
00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:15.680
played the game, the way you
wanted to obviously emulate him, punt returning

334
00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:19.720
and playing on offense and defense like
you wanted It's Deion Sanders. But then

335
00:25:19.799 --> 00:25:23.039
like in our era, for me
was Charles Woodson falling out, you know,

336
00:25:23.160 --> 00:25:26.559
especially when he had the rolls in
his mouth, like you wanted to

337
00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:30.680
have that moment like he did,
like punt return closed the deal with the

338
00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:34.519
hypchend right, And for me this
was this is coming all the way from

339
00:25:34.559 --> 00:25:38.000
like grade school, all the way
up to where you know, kids are

340
00:25:38.039 --> 00:25:41.200
playing, they're picking a side,
are already depending on where their parents went

341
00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:45.559
to school. A lot of house
divided here. For me, my best

342
00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:49.000
fondest memory is, you know,
obviously the win at the Big House,

343
00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:55.400
because it was it was a pressure
responsibility of guys that went came before us,

344
00:25:55.400 --> 00:25:59.160
but also that's going to come after
us and to win in the fashion

345
00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:02.640
of in two thousand eight. Now
mind you, I didn't I didn't play

346
00:26:02.680 --> 00:26:04.279
because I was I was injured.
I was like a game time decision,

347
00:26:04.799 --> 00:26:07.400
but you know I prepped all the
way into it, you know, just

348
00:26:07.480 --> 00:26:11.079
the need and the like just was
banged up. But the guys that went

349
00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:15.599
out there, like you know,
Danny Fortner's of the world and Jeremy where

350
00:26:15.720 --> 00:26:21.039
is like Ross Sweever and those guys
ashing like collectively that team win like I

351
00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:23.119
mean, I hold near and dear, cause like you know they were down

352
00:26:23.160 --> 00:26:26.960
offensively, but we didn't care,
like I don't care who they got,

353
00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:30.720
like we gotta go get it.
And so my junior year though, is

354
00:26:30.720 --> 00:26:34.319
when Tad Henney, uh you know
through that interception to myself as you say,

355
00:26:34.480 --> 00:26:40.240
through that interception. Yeah, you
know, it was right before half,

356
00:26:40.440 --> 00:26:42.559
and like you were, we had
that game so controlled, like it

357
00:26:42.599 --> 00:26:47.640
was in our cots man like.
And so for that little brother comment like

358
00:26:47.720 --> 00:26:49.000
when you're out on the field,
you know, you gave your all and

359
00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:52.119
you let it slip. You know, that kind of gave me that memory

360
00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:56.119
when we played in Maryland, like
how it just unfolded, like everything's controlled

361
00:26:56.200 --> 00:26:59.640
until the end, like you got
to play to the end of the game.

362
00:26:59.720 --> 00:27:03.039
And so so my findest memories making
those plays man uh you know personally

363
00:27:03.400 --> 00:27:07.680
but just to help the team.
That was my biggest biggest memory is that

364
00:27:08.200 --> 00:27:12.519
man, you know, in that
game, wasn't the there another quarterback that

365
00:27:12.599 --> 00:27:17.039
played as well, you know,
on top of chat Henny, Ryan Malley.

366
00:27:17.279 --> 00:27:19.839
That's that's what Ryan Malley came in, because we I mean, that's

367
00:27:19.839 --> 00:27:26.480
what sack Master came like. We
were coming out of boy thing deep.

368
00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:32.960
But then like if only you excout
the ball. We talk about this in

369
00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:36.759
the city. You're in the city
or are you in the country. Clearly

370
00:27:36.799 --> 00:27:38.440
there's traffic, so you're in the
city. You need to fall on it

371
00:27:38.839 --> 00:27:44.400
and cover that thing like it's it's
your baby, right, But but people

372
00:27:44.400 --> 00:27:47.519
thought you're in the country, you
got time and just I can hear the

373
00:27:47.680 --> 00:27:51.799
gas of just silence when the ball
got popped out and then all of a

374
00:27:51.839 --> 00:27:56.000
sudden, you see number twenty picked
that thing up and just like me and

375
00:27:56.240 --> 00:27:59.880
me and him, this is open
field tackle that you can kind attest.

376
00:28:00.039 --> 00:28:03.559
It's me and him open field.
If I don't get that, you know,

377
00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:07.240
he might have been gone. So
like I get him open field boom

378
00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:11.599
tackle him. And then I'm just
personally, I'm like, we need to

379
00:28:11.599 --> 00:28:15.400
be sitting right there on the sideline
because Chad and he was throwing those comebacks

380
00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:18.680
every time he could. I'm like, just sit on the sideline and just

381
00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:21.920
wait for it. Just wait for
it. Tackle them in bounds because at

382
00:28:21.920 --> 00:28:25.319
this point time otter gone. You
know, they're going down and driving and

383
00:28:25.519 --> 00:28:29.359
just legendary, like kudos to them, man, like they played the hand

384
00:28:29.400 --> 00:28:33.039
that we gave him. But it
still hurt. It still hurts. I

385
00:28:33.079 --> 00:28:34.200
ain't a lie to you. You
know, I don't care. I don't

386
00:28:34.200 --> 00:28:37.480
care to say get over it.
You know, as you grow older as

387
00:28:37.480 --> 00:28:41.200
a man, it still hurts because
like you know one is Spartan stadium easily

388
00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:45.400
with that and year one in Coach
D two. But I do love coach

389
00:28:45.440 --> 00:28:51.640
these responses, you already know,
like him his response all it all.

390
00:28:52.359 --> 00:28:56.279
And I think I think, you
know, losing that game took our program

391
00:28:56.440 --> 00:29:00.480
further than winning that game would have
been. You know, I honestly feel

392
00:29:00.519 --> 00:29:04.359
that, you know, from that
that comment, the tone was set,

393
00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:08.680
you know, the little Brothers comment
then leads up to the pride comes before

394
00:29:08.759 --> 00:29:17.039
the fall comment. I think losing
it's never over. He's that bottom lip

395
00:29:17.119 --> 00:29:21.799
was like yeah, but I think
you know, losing that game really set

396
00:29:21.799 --> 00:29:26.839
our program up for the next ten
twelve years under Coach D. In that

397
00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:30.920
game there, so that's you know, so that's that's It was tough,

398
00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:36.039
but I think it really set us
up for success. It was a great

399
00:29:36.079 --> 00:29:37.960
time, you know, seeing you
know, Coach D come in and really

400
00:29:37.960 --> 00:29:44.960
flip that that rivalry to the good
guys for us. I can remember my

401
00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:48.319
fondest memory, it was nineteen ninety
five. You guys are probably I don't

402
00:29:48.319 --> 00:29:52.200
know, in elementary school or something
like that, maybe middle school for But

403
00:29:52.880 --> 00:29:59.480
so this is sabans first year,
Nick Saban's first year on campus. It

404
00:29:59.599 --> 00:30:03.160
was reason I think it was like
maybe two degrees in that game, super

405
00:30:03.160 --> 00:30:07.680
cold, and you had Brian Greasey
doing his thing. But you know,

406
00:30:07.759 --> 00:30:12.480
Derek Mason had a seventy yard kickoff
return or punt return touchdown if I can

407
00:30:12.519 --> 00:30:17.319
remember. We led that game early
in the ball game in the half.

408
00:30:17.319 --> 00:30:19.400
I think it was like fourteen to
three at the half. But Brian Greasey

409
00:30:19.480 --> 00:30:22.119
comes back and he does this thing. Man. I mean, now it's

410
00:30:22.119 --> 00:30:26.440
twenty five, twenty one at the
end of the ball game, and Tony

411
00:30:26.519 --> 00:30:30.880
Banks is leading to drive right,
He's marching down the field and it's like

412
00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:36.400
third and forever. And I'm on
the sideline at this point because I'm Richert

413
00:30:36.599 --> 00:30:38.720
right, So I'm on the sideline
and I see this guy they talking about,

414
00:30:38.720 --> 00:30:42.640
this kid that was all world coming
out of Ohio playing at Michigan,

415
00:30:44.240 --> 00:30:48.079
and he's gassed as Charles Woodson.
I seen the you know, the smoke,

416
00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:52.279
and he's breathing. You usually don't
see defensive backs lumbering like that.

417
00:30:52.680 --> 00:30:55.559
But I saw that, and you
know, Derek Mason, being the player

418
00:30:55.559 --> 00:31:00.480
that we know he is in that
beautiful NFL career, he made to move

419
00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:04.160
on him. And when Woodson went
for the ball, and everybody talks about

420
00:31:04.160 --> 00:31:07.440
that Heisman year where he did get
the interception on the sideline, I was

421
00:31:07.480 --> 00:31:11.240
like ten feet away from that son
of he was in bounds. But this

422
00:31:11.279 --> 00:31:15.119
one early in his career, he
did not make it. He tipped the

423
00:31:15.160 --> 00:31:19.240
ball, but as he tipped it, it flew behind his back. Derek

424
00:31:19.279 --> 00:31:25.440
Mason catches it on the ground to
keep the drive alive. Tony Bank subsequently

425
00:31:25.440 --> 00:31:30.319
throws a twenty five yard touchdown to
Nigea Carter. That same northeast corner where

426
00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:36.200
little Giants went off where Big hell
Man and that corner has had a lot

427
00:31:36.240 --> 00:31:40.079
of phenomenal plays and this is one
of them. Michigan State beats Michigan and

428
00:31:40.160 --> 00:31:44.759
Nick Zagan's first year on campus at
home, that was a big one.

429
00:31:44.880 --> 00:31:48.680
That's huge. As for us being
on the field, that's just us,

430
00:31:48.680 --> 00:31:51.559
not our favorite. I'm sure there's
a lot of them. We can't forget

431
00:31:51.559 --> 00:31:55.880
the duck it play right, the
smoker. There's been some great plays out

432
00:31:55.920 --> 00:31:59.759
there. But those are I A. I'm not because I'm involved in it,

433
00:31:59.799 --> 00:32:04.759
but that TAKEO from a recovery Running
it in was awesome. Oh man,

434
00:32:04.839 --> 00:32:07.240
he was like my first real five. I was like, oh,

435
00:32:07.119 --> 00:32:10.400
I've ever heard of the stadium.
I was like, I was like this.

436
00:32:13.039 --> 00:32:17.400
I was like, this is like
all I did was block Mike Hart

437
00:32:17.440 --> 00:32:20.720
and then like lead it in.
But like I was like, this is

438
00:32:20.759 --> 00:32:23.000
why, bro, Like this is
it? Oh God? I get still

439
00:32:23.039 --> 00:32:27.799
thinking about that. Man. It's
lovely, love it. Oh man,

440
00:32:28.200 --> 00:32:30.720
great great stuff. Guys. You
know, look, we gotta break down

460
00:34:01.960 --> 00:34:07.440
get into the Michigan preview. Their
number two Michigan comes into Michigan State.

461
00:34:07.799 --> 00:34:09.880
Let's can State right now is sitting
around a twenty four and a half twenty

462
00:34:09.880 --> 00:34:14.920
five point underdog. You know,
and we want to know what is gonna

463
00:34:14.960 --> 00:34:19.320
take So right now we're gonna go
right into some film breakdown and looking at

464
00:34:19.719 --> 00:34:23.679
the offense for Michigan. So this
is the perspective of Michigan State's defense.

465
00:34:25.440 --> 00:34:30.800
We've got to play here, Michigan
against Indiana. This is just last week

466
00:34:30.519 --> 00:34:36.679
and you have JJ McCarthy in an
empty backfield. Let's run the let's before

467
00:34:36.679 --> 00:34:39.119
you even play this, like before
you even play it, like we already

468
00:34:39.159 --> 00:34:45.360
know who the stud guys and the
playmakers right start out, like, we

469
00:34:45.440 --> 00:34:49.079
need to know where number two is
at all times on the field. Now

470
00:34:49.119 --> 00:34:52.480
for me, if I'm looking at
here as a defensive back, safety wise,

471
00:34:52.960 --> 00:34:54.679
you got this guy trips right,
you know, with our defense,

472
00:34:55.000 --> 00:34:58.679
you got to be able to point
all right, number two is right over

473
00:34:58.719 --> 00:35:01.280
there, acting him to kind of
just be decoy in it, right,

474
00:35:01.639 --> 00:35:06.239
But from a standpoint, you got
to really determine this man's speed on the

475
00:35:06.360 --> 00:35:08.960
on the on the jet motion.
So motion wise, if he's kind of

476
00:35:09.000 --> 00:35:14.320
you know, jagged, straggling along
jogging a little bit to get replaced back

477
00:35:14.400 --> 00:35:17.360
on the gun right or gun left, then there's an element of like a

478
00:35:17.400 --> 00:35:22.159
read option past play action. But
with his speed, he's trying to time

479
00:35:22.280 --> 00:35:25.639
up this snap. So you also
got to look at JJ McCarthy's pre snap

480
00:35:25.719 --> 00:35:30.199
tendencies, you know, if it's
a clap or if it's you know,

481
00:35:30.360 --> 00:35:37.320
looking here so you can play it
now, little little jog here. Look

482
00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:42.239
you see that just from a standpoint, you know it was a direct snap,

483
00:35:42.559 --> 00:35:46.519
right, So you're looking at how
are we gonna bump right? Bump,

484
00:35:46.559 --> 00:35:52.320
bump bump. Somebody should be already
established in the outside edge. Clearly

485
00:35:52.360 --> 00:35:55.679
this corner wants no part of what's
happening. But if you're looking as a

486
00:35:55.719 --> 00:36:00.480
de coordinator with with you know,
with Hazel, and somebody's gotta be setting

487
00:36:00.480 --> 00:36:06.079
his edge. If that's the d
N coming straight up the field gap control

488
00:36:06.519 --> 00:36:08.599
or you got the corner coming straight
up and making him turn into the other

489
00:36:08.920 --> 00:36:14.199
pursuit of the defense, those are
the elements. Is that communication is key,

490
00:36:14.559 --> 00:36:17.480
and it's like jet motions, automatic
should be bumped right, it should

491
00:36:17.480 --> 00:36:22.920
be automatic carrying over this readjust but
somebody need to come and set the edge.

492
00:36:22.960 --> 00:36:27.599
Now. With Chuck Brandley being out, that was a guy who really

493
00:36:27.639 --> 00:36:30.800
set the edge. As small as
he may be in stature, he had

494
00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:35.199
a heart of like I'm going to
set the edge or make the play,

495
00:36:35.360 --> 00:36:37.800
like make the play first, but
at the very least you set the edge

496
00:36:37.800 --> 00:36:42.480
so that he's able to turn it
back in to the other pursuit. I

497
00:36:42.519 --> 00:36:46.760
think the communication is gonna be key
on obviously the offensive guys knowing who is

498
00:36:46.800 --> 00:36:52.119
going to get the ball, but
also formation standpoint. Great breakdown there,

499
00:36:52.119 --> 00:36:57.239
because you can see that the offense
had the plus side, they had numbers

500
00:36:57.519 --> 00:37:01.559
in that jet motion. It was
easy to basically hook everybody on that defense

501
00:37:01.599 --> 00:37:06.760
and set it and have an easy
first down pick up by Blake Horn.

502
00:37:07.000 --> 00:37:12.480
I like, that's number two.
Where to now because they showed that,

503
00:37:12.639 --> 00:37:16.559
right, they showed that we got
to have we got to be disciplined from

504
00:37:16.559 --> 00:37:22.159
an I standpoint, because this also
can be just a fake, you know,

505
00:37:22.360 --> 00:37:25.320
just to be a decoy and can
be a run from JJ to the

506
00:37:25.320 --> 00:37:30.360
opposite side where that jet motion came. Or these guys got to be able

507
00:37:30.360 --> 00:37:32.800
to determine speed of the routes because
if guys are coming off the line,

508
00:37:34.119 --> 00:37:37.280
you know, jogging and then blocking, or they're coming off like jogging stock

509
00:37:37.320 --> 00:37:40.679
block and then go, this can
be a double move or this could be

510
00:37:40.719 --> 00:37:45.559
a trick play. So you've got
to be signed because clearly we're looking at

511
00:37:45.559 --> 00:37:49.519
it and we're game planning for that
play and for those tendencies. But that

512
00:37:49.639 --> 00:37:52.519
additional piece of it, like there's
other options within that play formation. So

513
00:37:52.559 --> 00:37:55.519
you got to be able to be
disciplined to make sure like no one's going

514
00:37:55.679 --> 00:38:00.519
doing the most. Do your job, stay in your area, control your

515
00:38:00.559 --> 00:38:04.960
gap, control your zone. Because
the element of if it's a pass backside,

516
00:38:05.280 --> 00:38:07.840
like we're gonna be set there ready
for it. So I think that's

517
00:38:07.840 --> 00:38:14.559
an element too. So what you're
referring to is offensive coordinator is setting up

518
00:38:15.280 --> 00:38:21.519
plays for the future based on formations
from the week before, so that you

519
00:38:21.559 --> 00:38:24.559
guys, you know, you guys, is that how that works. I'm

520
00:38:24.559 --> 00:38:30.199
just because you know, there's always
asking for a friend. Yeah, there's

521
00:38:30.239 --> 00:38:36.679
always there's always playing z's within the
formation, right, so you got to

522
00:38:36.719 --> 00:38:38.760
be prepared for that then that you
should be Just this ain't high school where

523
00:38:38.960 --> 00:38:42.320
you want to mention them. You
know what I'm saying, Like, you

524
00:38:42.440 --> 00:38:45.719
gotta be you know, I'm just
saying I know what it is. I'm

525
00:38:45.760 --> 00:38:52.039
just saying, yeah, we like
that creativity, so you gotta be ready

526
00:38:52.039 --> 00:38:55.280
for it. On defense, here's
another play for Michigan's offense. Let's see

527
00:38:55.760 --> 00:39:01.639
the master defense the boss holders.
Well, the break this one that we

528
00:39:01.719 --> 00:39:07.079
talk about another element like listen,
tight ends are very vital in this offense,

529
00:39:07.239 --> 00:39:12.079
like very athletic tight end. So
you already see a switch information and

530
00:39:12.159 --> 00:39:15.559
adjustments on this right now. So
coming from you know eighty nine is that

531
00:39:15.559 --> 00:39:21.119
that's yeah, eighty nine coming in
you know, motioning or just adjusting to

532
00:39:21.159 --> 00:39:25.719
the right side. Uh, this
is an element of Hey, this is

533
00:39:25.760 --> 00:39:30.400
another thing. Standpoint, like you
got just an extra blocker, right,

534
00:39:30.599 --> 00:39:34.519
extra blocker looking at where where Blake
is. You know, set up,

535
00:39:34.840 --> 00:39:37.000
you got Kyle Holliday, you got
Jordan Hall. You typically see Jordan Hall

536
00:39:37.079 --> 00:39:42.880
coming in on these these these goal
line stands because this guy is a communicator

537
00:39:42.880 --> 00:39:45.599
but also a gap filler and he
sees ball eat ball. So you know

538
00:39:45.639 --> 00:39:49.639
you're looking at the tennessees. You
know you can snap this ball. But

539
00:39:50.000 --> 00:39:52.119
let's go. Let's go to the
offensive line tennessees first. You know,

540
00:39:52.239 --> 00:39:59.719
offensive line boom pass a quick immediately
you know it's passed already if you look

541
00:39:59.719 --> 00:40:02.800
at the far side, Uh,
that corner has already beat like he's already

542
00:40:02.800 --> 00:40:07.079
holding right now. So that means
his eyes his eyes were not locked in.

543
00:40:07.360 --> 00:40:10.119
I need to do my job.
I got lost in the sauce on

544
00:40:10.159 --> 00:40:15.960
this play action all of them.
But now this right nearer side on the

545
00:40:15.000 --> 00:40:19.639
hash near the boundary, this corner
is playing his gap, is playing his

546
00:40:19.760 --> 00:40:22.719
role, his responsibility. He has
that receiver locked up. But just like

547
00:40:22.760 --> 00:40:28.159
I told you, this extra blocker
is a tight end to give JJ more

548
00:40:28.159 --> 00:40:34.119
of a halo from a pass protection. But keep playing the play. You

549
00:40:34.280 --> 00:40:38.159
have to linebackers got lost to right, So you've got to be able to

550
00:40:38.199 --> 00:40:45.719
say, hey, immediately take guys, you've got to get back and do

551
00:40:45.760 --> 00:40:49.199
your hook curl or if we're a
man, you've got to stay on your

552
00:40:49.199 --> 00:40:52.159
man like I don't let the front
do their job. You gotta do your

553
00:40:52.239 --> 00:40:55.079
job because when all of us do
that job, look, I like,

554
00:40:55.119 --> 00:40:58.800
how look I didn't even see this
play, to be honest with you before

555
00:40:58.960 --> 00:41:04.199
before you see there's two arrows that
Fox MiG Noon did like they lost control

556
00:41:04.400 --> 00:41:07.079
of their man, like got lost, Like you can't make these plays.

557
00:41:07.079 --> 00:41:10.239
You got everybody else. But if
they lock on these guys, it's a

558
00:41:10.280 --> 00:41:15.519
different story, right, a different
story that it could be a pass breakup

559
00:41:15.000 --> 00:41:19.280
or you can be a cover sack. But you can't lose your responsibility and

560
00:41:19.320 --> 00:41:22.360
what you're supposed to do in the
call. All right, let's go to

561
00:41:22.400 --> 00:41:27.679
the next play. You know,
this is again Michigan State defense. Looking

562
00:41:27.719 --> 00:41:32.599
at what Michigan's offense has done before. This is them against Indiana again,

563
00:41:32.719 --> 00:41:37.119
up twenty one to seven in the
third quarter. Trips left, trips left.

564
00:41:37.119 --> 00:41:40.119
Look, I'm going back to the
time like communication now is a difference

565
00:41:40.159 --> 00:41:45.920
defense. But from a standpoint of
the formation. Yeah, so standpoint here

566
00:41:45.960 --> 00:41:49.360
you got. You got a guy
already locked in on that front front guy

567
00:41:49.440 --> 00:41:52.599
right now, right now. So
let's see if IU can respond if you

568
00:41:52.599 --> 00:41:58.920
snap this ball from a standpoint immediately
looking at offensive standpoint, office alignment,

569
00:42:00.159 --> 00:42:06.119
Boa rollout. Now, here's what
we can't happen where JJ. Look,

570
00:42:06.159 --> 00:42:08.480
this is where I'm stampinging. We
got to keep JJ within the pocket.

571
00:42:08.880 --> 00:42:14.920
Like he's now became more developed,
he's grown as a quarterback. You got

572
00:42:14.920 --> 00:42:17.199
to keep him locked in the tackle
box. You can't allow him to go

573
00:42:17.320 --> 00:42:21.360
here. So this d end goes
too far in. You got to be

574
00:42:21.360 --> 00:42:23.480
able to set the edge. U. Now, if you set the edge,

575
00:42:23.800 --> 00:42:28.360
then honestly, this could be a
sack or he steps up into the

576
00:42:28.400 --> 00:42:30.960
pocket and does another scramble. But
you got to be able to lock this

577
00:42:31.079 --> 00:42:36.280
in from a rush standpoint, and
then you already see the gap or you

578
00:42:36.320 --> 00:42:39.519
know the gaps standpoint. There's these
these dbs and the receivers are out of

579
00:42:39.559 --> 00:42:45.000
phase already, like look at my
man's linebacker in the middle, like on

580
00:42:45.039 --> 00:42:49.840
the block in Look at this receivers
long receivers long gone. Like that's like

581
00:42:49.880 --> 00:42:53.679
a three or four yard gap right
there. But keep playing it. Look

582
00:42:53.719 --> 00:43:00.599
at McCarthy, Look, corner,
never come out of cuts, man,

583
00:43:00.679 --> 00:43:02.960
like I don't care, Never come
out of coverage, and it comes to

584
00:43:04.199 --> 00:43:07.880
become a big play in touchdown.
Is that the plan there? He wants

585
00:43:07.880 --> 00:43:09.239
to put him in conflict and make
him think that, hey, you got

586
00:43:09.280 --> 00:43:14.800
to come tackle me as a quarterback. That's absolutely McCartney threatens a line of

587
00:43:14.800 --> 00:43:17.639
scrimmage and points right over his head, telling them the tight end keep going,

588
00:43:17.920 --> 00:43:22.760
I got you, and throws it
right over the corner's head. Absolutely,

589
00:43:22.159 --> 00:43:24.159
Why do you do that? Why
does a corner do that? Though?

590
00:43:25.360 --> 00:43:29.000
Look, trying to be a hero
man. You try to be a

591
00:43:29.039 --> 00:43:35.199
hero, right, You want to
make instead right like you are never talking.

592
00:43:35.760 --> 00:43:37.639
If we can go back to that
play real quick, just the beginning

593
00:43:38.000 --> 00:43:42.320
of that play. You don't have
to play it, just the formation there,

594
00:43:42.599 --> 00:43:45.480
ohis, Like do you if you're
that, if you're that in that

595
00:43:45.559 --> 00:43:51.039
bunch formation there you guys call it
diamond, call it bunch that dB,

596
00:43:51.280 --> 00:43:54.760
how important is it to put hands
on that on that guy you know at

597
00:43:54.800 --> 00:44:01.440
the point of that bunch Sorry and
say that again, how important is it

598
00:44:01.480 --> 00:44:07.199
for that dB to put hands and
try to at least reroute the point guy

599
00:44:07.239 --> 00:44:10.000
in the bunch formation? Oh?
Yeah, you can mess up the entirety.

600
00:44:10.079 --> 00:44:14.639
Like when you're in a bunch somebody, there's gonna be some crossing routes,

601
00:44:14.679 --> 00:44:17.920
like immediately from the snap. So
if I hold up this one first

602
00:44:17.920 --> 00:44:22.360
on press coverage here, you know, you're punching them in the mouth,

603
00:44:22.800 --> 00:44:24.599
you know. If it all depends
on if it's man and man or his

604
00:44:24.719 --> 00:44:28.760
zone. But uh, this is
an opportunity to say, hey, so

605
00:44:28.840 --> 00:44:32.000
there's that bas snap, I'm rerouting
it, I'm jamming, I'm jaming where

606
00:44:32.039 --> 00:44:37.119
at least I'll eliminate one guy,
ride him into the traffic, or like

607
00:44:37.159 --> 00:44:40.440
you said, you can jam this
one guy into this other guy too,

608
00:44:40.519 --> 00:44:45.800
so you can take you can eliminate
or race two receivers, and you eliminate

609
00:44:45.840 --> 00:44:49.639
options for JJ McCarthy. But when
you snap the ball, you know this

610
00:44:49.679 --> 00:44:52.719
is all a ailment. I don't
know if he knew what he's supposed to

611
00:44:52.719 --> 00:44:55.840
do or you're not supposed to do, but clearly, look, he's no

612
00:44:57.039 --> 00:45:00.800
hands. You cannot play man the
man and not get one jam off off

613
00:45:00.800 --> 00:45:05.519
hand or listen, listen, you
gotta slow some guys down like it is

614
00:45:05.559 --> 00:45:07.920
what it is, monoi, mono, I don't I've never covered a man

615
00:45:08.000 --> 00:45:12.079
and man guy with no hands at
all, Like there's absolutely no way to

616
00:45:12.079 --> 00:45:21.199
do it. It's like hands if
your feet are if your feet are that

617
00:45:21.360 --> 00:45:24.519
sweet like I'm talking sweet man,
Yeah, you can do that, but

618
00:45:24.760 --> 00:45:29.159
you gotta bling off jam it to
slow it down and know like now I

619
00:45:29.159 --> 00:45:31.079
can recognize the speed, but I
also going to recognize the route. But

620
00:45:31.119 --> 00:45:35.599
then all those guys and man and
man like they didn't they didn't lock on

621
00:45:35.639 --> 00:45:37.480
their man, like you gotta lock
on that man. When the pre snap

622
00:45:37.519 --> 00:45:42.360
has happened, I don't care what
else is happening. I'm locked in on

623
00:45:42.480 --> 00:45:45.800
my guy. He runs to the
tunnel, I'm right there with like that's

624
00:45:45.840 --> 00:45:50.199
the monoi mono's mindset. So when
we're in defense and the cause called our

625
00:45:50.239 --> 00:45:52.320
secondary has got to just be locked
in, it's monoi mono. If I

626
00:45:52.360 --> 00:45:55.840
know I'm a man, I'm locking
my man down, I'm communicating bumping things.

627
00:45:57.119 --> 00:46:00.719
If it's zone, get your hook
curl, get your your third eyes

628
00:46:01.000 --> 00:46:04.800
on the quarterback. But make sure
you're covering the deepest of the deepest,

629
00:46:04.840 --> 00:46:09.039
because we can always come up always. Hey, otis the boss, Wiley.

630
00:46:09.519 --> 00:46:12.400
Listen, You've got a lot of
jobs. We wear a lot of

631
00:46:12.400 --> 00:46:15.519
hats on that campus, but none
more important than the one that you gotta

632
00:46:15.519 --> 00:46:16.599
wear it right now. You gotta
go take care of the babies. Man,

633
00:46:16.639 --> 00:46:21.400
I know you got some family situations
going on. Thanks for the expertise

634
00:46:21.800 --> 00:46:25.199
in breaking down Michigan say defensive opportunities
against the school down the road. Man,

635
00:46:25.199 --> 00:46:29.360
we will see you on Saturday.
Absolutely, Man, go green,

636
00:46:29.400 --> 00:46:34.079
Let's get it baby, Let's go
go white. All right, Man,

637
00:46:34.599 --> 00:46:37.440
Oldis Wiley, gotta go do some
important stuff. Man, but chew,

638
00:46:37.559 --> 00:46:40.280
Look, it's not lost. We're
gonna keep on breaking it down. Look,

639
00:46:40.480 --> 00:46:44.599
we're not defensive players. We've got
a couple more players if we could.

640
00:46:45.000 --> 00:46:50.719
Let's just look at what Michigan tends
to do. Here's a I think

641
00:46:50.760 --> 00:46:53.679
this is a fourth down situation,
the fourth and one, fourth and one,

642
00:46:53.679 --> 00:46:57.559
they're gonna they're gonna say, we're
gonna go big on big. Our

643
00:46:57.599 --> 00:47:00.119
guys are better than your guys,
and we're gonna hand the ball to our

644
00:47:00.199 --> 00:47:02.800
guy, who we feel is,
you know, the best running back in

645
00:47:02.800 --> 00:47:07.239
the country. So can you stop
them or can we move you? And

646
00:47:07.280 --> 00:47:09.719
it all is predicated on the offense. On that offensive line. Look at

647
00:47:10.039 --> 00:47:13.920
that blue line, that's the line
of scrimmage. Look at the feet.

648
00:47:14.480 --> 00:47:20.199
You know of which jersey is is
that? Is the white jerseys you know,

649
00:47:20.320 --> 00:47:22.320
past that blue line? Or is
the red jersey past the blue line.

650
00:47:22.360 --> 00:47:27.119
That's what it comes down to in
a fourth and one like this.

651
00:47:28.719 --> 00:47:37.320
All right, let's roll the tape
and you see every single blue jersey,

652
00:47:37.519 --> 00:47:40.239
white jersey is past that blue line
there. So that's what you have to

653
00:47:40.320 --> 00:47:44.599
defensively, you have to stay low, you have to create piles, and

654
00:47:44.639 --> 00:47:47.079
then your linebackers come in and clean
up. That's what you need to do.

655
00:47:47.159 --> 00:47:52.800
On that unbelievable good play thereby like
the center here, if you look

656
00:47:52.840 --> 00:47:57.280
at the center on that particular play
didn't fire off the ball if we can

657
00:47:57.320 --> 00:48:00.599
pull that back up. But he
comes off, double teams the left guard

658
00:48:00.679 --> 00:48:06.039
and comes off to the linebacker,
which causes that crease for Blake rm right

659
00:48:06.079 --> 00:48:10.920
there. Boom. Yeah. Yeah, that's textbook. Not a quarterback sneak

660
00:48:10.960 --> 00:48:15.880
team. Not really heavy in that
they don't push. They put JJ McCarthy

661
00:48:15.880 --> 00:48:17.800
out in space, and they like
to use the running backs, and none

662
00:48:17.840 --> 00:48:22.679
better than Blake korm coming downhill.
Haven't seen a lot of Downovan Edwards out

663
00:48:22.719 --> 00:48:27.519
of Michigan this year, as we've
seen in his freshman and sophomore seasons.

664
00:48:27.559 --> 00:48:30.079
This year as a junior, haven't
seen a ton. I think he just

665
00:48:30.079 --> 00:48:34.639
scored his first touchdown from Michigan as
a tailback. But one more play for

666
00:48:34.760 --> 00:48:42.039
Michigan offensively. This is them again
against Nebraska. This is early on in

667
00:48:42.199 --> 00:48:45.719
ballgame. You know, we talk
about the being able to get get up

668
00:48:45.719 --> 00:48:49.280
on him early. IU was able
to do that. I think they led

669
00:48:49.280 --> 00:48:52.840
the game seven and nothing in the
first quarter. But this is this is

670
00:48:52.880 --> 00:48:57.880
how not to do it. When
you're Michigan State playing against Michigan. They're

671
00:48:57.960 --> 00:49:06.480
rushing three here, snap it,
three guys rush, they drop eight.

672
00:49:07.000 --> 00:49:15.280
He's got all day and just an
amazing catch there, you know, just

673
00:49:15.320 --> 00:49:20.679
an amazing catch on the on the
head, literally on the head of that

674
00:49:20.960 --> 00:49:22.800
of that dB. And you got
to put pressure on this guy. You

675
00:49:22.840 --> 00:49:27.239
can give them all the time in
the world to throw to you know,

676
00:49:27.320 --> 00:49:30.519
set back there and throw and if
you only rush in three you should have

677
00:49:30.559 --> 00:49:32.440
the guys back that should be able
to tip this ball. You shouldn't get

678
00:49:32.480 --> 00:49:36.440
lost in the sauce, in the
in the in the back there. So

679
00:49:36.800 --> 00:49:39.119
you just have to play better.
You can't come with three guys and not

680
00:49:39.960 --> 00:49:44.880
you know, get and not be
able to stop the pass deep there.

681
00:49:45.119 --> 00:49:47.320
So put pressure on him, make
him make a decision. That's what you

682
00:49:47.360 --> 00:49:52.039
have to do. Yeah, all
right, moving on to the offensive side

683
00:49:52.079 --> 00:49:57.360
about Michigan State. This is looking
at the Michigan defense and opportunities for Michigan

684
00:49:57.360 --> 00:50:00.119
State offensively to attack the defense.
We've been doing this for a couple of

685
00:50:00.199 --> 00:50:05.039
weeks. You know, maybe one
day they'll, yeah, they'll do what

686
00:50:05.119 --> 00:50:07.239
you and I want to talk about
here. Let's see, let's run the

687
00:50:07.280 --> 00:50:14.079
table. I think what are we
starting off here with? Sneak quarterback sneak

688
00:50:14.119 --> 00:50:19.159
scenario? Push? Yeah, here, Now that the thing that happens is

689
00:50:19.159 --> 00:50:23.360
Traditionally quarterback things before you know,
the Philadelphias egos made this popular. You

690
00:50:23.360 --> 00:50:25.960
know, the quarterback will get to
the line and he will assess it to

691
00:50:27.000 --> 00:50:29.880
see where that bubble is. There's
a little bubble that you know, he

692
00:50:29.920 --> 00:50:32.280
could take it, pull and then
go to that spot. Now that the

693
00:50:32.320 --> 00:50:37.360
tush push eliminates those things, so
now it's really big on big. Let's

694
00:50:37.440 --> 00:50:40.039
let's see if we can push our
guy across. So let's let's run it

695
00:50:40.079 --> 00:50:46.159
here and see you see you you
they don't. I don't know if they

696
00:50:46.239 --> 00:50:51.920
got I think they the mark there
that they got it. But on this

697
00:50:51.960 --> 00:50:54.360
one, yeah, that bubble on
the over to the right hand side there,

698
00:50:54.360 --> 00:50:58.480
if a quarterback gets it, you
know, right the right hand side.

699
00:50:58.519 --> 00:51:00.840
If we could go back to the
beginning, just stop it there,

700
00:51:00.719 --> 00:51:06.440
go back at the beginning of the
play. Where's it set right right there?

701
00:51:06.679 --> 00:51:08.280
Yeah, so you see this,
there's a little gap, you know,

702
00:51:08.480 --> 00:51:14.559
right between the center and the guard
there. Traditionally, the quarterback will

703
00:51:14.599 --> 00:51:16.079
take that, pull it and then
go to that side. He will have

704
00:51:16.119 --> 00:51:21.400
an easier time of finding a bubble. But now with the tush push,

705
00:51:21.840 --> 00:51:23.719
you don't you don't really get that
anymore. They just take it and go

706
00:51:23.840 --> 00:51:29.039
behind there. But that's that's a
play that you know, it's there for

707
00:51:29.119 --> 00:51:31.199
us. So let's go to the
next play. Yeah, the bubble is

708
00:51:31.280 --> 00:51:37.000
usually the one technique or the shade, so inside the guard has whichever guard

709
00:51:37.119 --> 00:51:42.159
has an inside technique is usually where
they want to run those snakes. Let's

710
00:51:42.199 --> 00:51:47.760
go to the next one. Like
you said, well another trips right as

711
00:51:47.760 --> 00:51:51.960
far as Otis is concerned. But
trips left for the offense. Yes,

712
00:51:52.039 --> 00:51:54.639
trips left for the offense. Now
they're gonna you know, Indiana's you know,

713
00:51:54.760 --> 00:51:59.719
feeling themselves a little bit here.
They're going to see how discipline this

714
00:52:00.079 --> 00:52:04.239
Chigan defenses are they gonna be able
to have then, you know, have

715
00:52:04.320 --> 00:52:08.719
their assignments and contain and are they
gonna be able to stick to what they

716
00:52:08.880 --> 00:52:13.400
called or are they gonna be caught
sleeping. So there's a little trick play

717
00:52:13.599 --> 00:52:22.119
that Indiana draws up here, a
double puples. You gotta make sure it's

718
00:52:22.159 --> 00:52:30.960
behind the line of scrimmage. Wow, blown coverage because there there was the

719
00:52:31.559 --> 00:52:37.280
fear of it being a screen.
So those safeties come screaming down down though,

720
00:52:37.679 --> 00:52:42.159
at the defenders, at the receivers, and uh, you see that

721
00:52:42.199 --> 00:52:45.880
safety right there, he sees that
pass. Now his break is coming down,

722
00:52:45.000 --> 00:52:50.280
and that that Indiana receiver is doing
a really good job to make to

723
00:52:50.480 --> 00:52:52.679
selling them like he's gonna go up
there and block him, and he's just

724
00:52:52.719 --> 00:53:01.239
gonna bluff him and continue to go
over for that. Oh No. Number

725
00:53:01.320 --> 00:53:05.559
three. Yeah, he got caught
up right there. And that was a

726
00:53:05.599 --> 00:53:09.320
bad pass. Lateral backwards, lateral
pass it round it looked like, but

727
00:53:09.400 --> 00:53:15.400
it's a live ball when it's backwards. Remember that good play by Indiana to

728
00:53:15.440 --> 00:53:16.519
get on the board early. As
we said, they were seven up,

729
00:53:16.519 --> 00:53:21.480
seven to nothing on Michigan in the
first quarter of that ball game. All

730
00:53:21.599 --> 00:53:29.039
right, let's go to the next
play. It's against nebra Okay, Nebraska.

731
00:53:29.320 --> 00:53:30.760
Let's see. This is what not
to do. You got empty backfield.

732
00:53:32.280 --> 00:53:37.039
See what the quarterback does. This
is kateen Housard. You gotta watch

733
00:53:37.079 --> 00:53:47.159
this big hands up. If you're
a if you're an offensive player and the

734
00:53:47.199 --> 00:53:52.519
boss tipped up like that, the
biggest thing that you can do is bat

735
00:53:52.599 --> 00:53:55.480
it down like you're playing volleyball.
Don't try to be a hero and catch

736
00:53:55.519 --> 00:54:00.880
it live to play another down.
But the big thing is you got back

737
00:54:00.000 --> 00:54:06.239
that ball. Down and live to
play another down. Get a little game

738
00:54:06.320 --> 00:54:10.079
there by the tackling defensive end.
Great job of them picking up that game.

739
00:54:10.719 --> 00:54:15.440
Yeah, man, just quarterback just
getting the balls tips you got it.

740
00:54:15.519 --> 00:54:20.239
Gotta watch that as a quarterback,
No know what's gonna happen there.

741
00:54:20.239 --> 00:54:23.239
And you have good vision so we
can see those lanes. I know what

742
00:54:23.320 --> 00:54:29.440
drives offensive coordinators crazy is when those
quarterbacks get the balls tipped. Got you

743
00:54:29.480 --> 00:54:32.840
know, but Howser's got the He's
a decent sized guy, six foot three.

744
00:54:34.679 --> 00:54:37.079
He's gonna get this start once again. So we gotta see if he

745
00:54:37.159 --> 00:54:40.400
can pay attention to these types of
things and have a good game. There's

746
00:54:40.400 --> 00:54:43.719
gonna be a lot of opportunities out
there if we move on to the next

747
00:54:43.760 --> 00:54:51.280
play. Right here talking about Kayden
Hauser and company, he's got a good

748
00:54:51.320 --> 00:54:57.480
pocket Michigan. They're playing the zone
defense on that. You see the backers

749
00:54:57.480 --> 00:55:00.400
buzzing to the flats there, so
you just out of the receivers have to

750
00:55:00.440 --> 00:55:05.599
find a nice hole in the zone
and find that soft spot in there and

751
00:55:05.679 --> 00:55:08.800
sit in there and quarterback finds it. You see the linebackers number twenty three

752
00:55:08.800 --> 00:55:13.280
and twenty five reading and reading it
then the buzz to the flats. You

753
00:55:13.320 --> 00:55:16.159
know, they're not coming up or
anything. It's a zone that they're playing

754
00:55:16.599 --> 00:55:21.199
and Nebraska is able to find a
soft spot in that zone. That's what

755
00:55:21.199 --> 00:55:23.840
we're gonna have to do. Offensively. We're gonna have to be able to

756
00:55:24.159 --> 00:55:30.599
win. Our receivers have to win
their battles, win the routes. Love

757
00:55:30.599 --> 00:55:34.159
it, gotta do that. Let's
the same. We got one more play

758
00:55:34.960 --> 00:55:39.440
I think for Michigan State's offense again, looking at the Michigan defense, some

759
00:55:39.519 --> 00:55:45.800
opportunities here for your boy, Nate
Carter Jalen Berger. Just get the ball.

760
00:55:45.880 --> 00:55:47.840
I love the way Berger ran last
game. He had a really good

761
00:55:47.920 --> 00:55:52.159
job running the ball, sticking his
foot and going north and south. That's

762
00:55:52.159 --> 00:55:53.480
what you're gonna have to do if
you want to win this type of game.

763
00:55:53.519 --> 00:55:57.559
You're gonna have to establish that run
game. You're gonna have to be

764
00:55:57.599 --> 00:56:00.000
able to put your foot down.
Good job by the then pulling over,

765
00:56:00.159 --> 00:56:05.119
good block there, and good job
of exploding through the hole by the running

766
00:56:05.119 --> 00:56:08.400
back on that play. That's how
you draw it up right there. You

767
00:56:08.400 --> 00:56:14.159
know, we look at breaking down
the offensive defenses side of the ball against

768
00:56:14.280 --> 00:56:16.639
Michigan School down the road, and
these are the things that in our mind

769
00:56:16.679 --> 00:56:20.159
that you need to do in order
to be able to execute. Look,

770
00:56:20.159 --> 00:56:22.320
this is a good team, you
know, this is a very good team

771
00:56:22.320 --> 00:56:24.760
that's coming in here. They're well
coached to this is a team when you

772
00:56:24.760 --> 00:56:30.440
look at there's statistics. I mean
they're like number they're top five in a

773
00:56:30.519 --> 00:56:34.440
lot of national categories on the defensive
side of a number one defense by the

774
00:56:34.480 --> 00:56:37.679
way, scoring defense in the country. Total defense are number two. But

775
00:56:37.800 --> 00:56:43.159
one of the things that really stands
out fewest penalty yards number one in the

776
00:56:43.280 --> 00:56:47.519
nation seventeen zero point six yards a
game on penalties Michigan State one hundred and

777
00:56:47.559 --> 00:56:52.920
thirteenth sixty six yards per game.
So there's going to be a factor.

778
00:56:53.320 --> 00:56:57.239
Yeah, those are those those penalties, Those are those hidden yards you know

779
00:56:57.360 --> 00:57:00.719
you're given, you're giving away,
you know, sixty six yards a game,

780
00:57:00.960 --> 00:57:05.239
you know to sixteen yards a game. So that's absolutely that's big.

781
00:57:05.320 --> 00:57:07.719
So you have to be disciplined,
you have to be assignment focused, and

782
00:57:08.079 --> 00:57:13.440
you can't give anything cheap, you
can't give anything free in a game like

783
00:57:13.480 --> 00:57:15.119
this. You have to stay the
course. You have to stay ahead of

784
00:57:15.159 --> 00:57:21.400
the chains offensively and defensively, you
have to make the Michigan's offense feel uncomfortable.

785
00:57:21.519 --> 00:57:24.159
You have to make their quarterback feel
uncomfortable, their running backs feel uncomfortable.

786
00:57:24.320 --> 00:57:27.800
So you have to be able to
do those things because this is a

787
00:57:27.920 --> 00:57:30.400
very good team. But at the
end of the day, you still have

788
00:57:30.519 --> 00:57:36.360
to play the game. You've got
to play the game, and you look

789
00:57:36.360 --> 00:57:39.679
at third down is going to be
a huge deal in this game. Third

790
00:57:39.719 --> 00:57:45.360
down defensively, third down offensively.
You look at Michigan's offense, they're fourth

791
00:57:45.360 --> 00:57:49.440
in the country in third down conversion. Michigan State's at one hundred, but

792
00:57:49.440 --> 00:57:54.320
the Michigan State on the defensive side
top three, a third ranked, top

793
00:57:54.360 --> 00:58:00.679
three defense in third down conversions.
That's I know that we talked about this

794
00:58:00.760 --> 00:58:02.719
a few weeks ago that Michigan State
hasn't gotten into third down, but they

795
00:58:02.760 --> 00:58:07.880
have as up recently against schools like
Iowa and Rutgers. Yeah, because the

796
00:58:07.920 --> 00:58:12.039
reason that they were able to have
success on third down is because they put

797
00:58:12.079 --> 00:58:15.920
those offenses in third and long situations. You know, third and medium,

798
00:58:15.960 --> 00:58:19.639
third and long. It hasn't been
the third and twos, third and ones,

799
00:58:19.679 --> 00:58:22.880
third and threes. Those who are
a lot easier to convert than those

800
00:58:23.000 --> 00:58:28.440
third and long opportunities. So that's
why we talked about that Michigan State defense

801
00:58:28.519 --> 00:58:31.760
have to make this offense uncomfortable.
Put them in positions that they're not familiar

802
00:58:31.800 --> 00:58:36.840
with. Put them in positions that
they haven't been into too many times,

803
00:58:36.920 --> 00:58:39.039
a lot of third and sevens,
third and eights. Put them in those

804
00:58:39.079 --> 00:58:43.599
positions, and then they'll have that
success that they're you know, top three

805
00:58:43.599 --> 00:58:47.280
in the country on third down defense. They will have that success. Another

806
00:58:47.320 --> 00:58:50.880
thing Michigan State has got to do, and I know you know all about

807
00:58:50.880 --> 00:58:53.519
this, is being able to capitalize
in the red zone. Michigan comes in

808
00:58:53.639 --> 00:58:58.840
number one rank red zone defense.
Michigan State's got to capitalize and get points.

809
00:58:58.840 --> 00:59:00.119
Come away with points, no matter
how you do it, Yes,

810
00:59:00.199 --> 00:59:04.119
you have to do that. The
important thing. You said it right there.

811
00:59:04.119 --> 00:59:07.840
Come over with points. Field goals
or good touchdowns are better. But

812
00:59:07.920 --> 00:59:10.400
when you're in that red zone,
you have to become more creative. As

813
00:59:10.400 --> 00:59:15.760
a red zone a play caller.
You have to do different things to get

814
00:59:15.800 --> 00:59:21.000
that defense to be confused in that
red zone. The red zone efficiency has

815
00:59:21.119 --> 00:59:24.760
to be you know, on point. It can't be a predictable you know,

816
00:59:25.000 --> 00:59:28.960
red zone call. You can't run
on first down and run on second

817
00:59:28.960 --> 00:59:32.440
down and then want to throw the
ball do things. What do you have

818
00:59:32.519 --> 00:59:36.719
to lose? You have nothing to
lose, right, you know, just

819
00:59:36.800 --> 00:59:39.760
let it all hang out there and
go after it. Got to let it

820
00:59:39.800 --> 00:59:44.760
all hang out. And you talk
about the guy who got his first start

821
00:59:44.800 --> 00:59:49.119
a week ago in kyden Houser.
Is he up to the challenge. He's

822
00:59:49.119 --> 00:59:52.840
gonna have to be. He has
no choice. Coach Barnett said it in

823
00:59:52.880 --> 00:59:58.239
his in his Oppressor that he that's
why he can't chose to come to Michigan

824
00:59:58.280 --> 01:00:00.920
State. He has to be up
to the challenge. Any quarterback that's in

825
01:00:00.960 --> 01:00:05.039
there has to be. Anybody that
wears the green and white that steps on

826
01:00:05.079 --> 01:00:08.400
the field has to be up to
the challenge. And as a quarterback,

827
01:00:08.440 --> 01:00:12.679
you have to protect the football first
and foremost, and then the second thing,

828
01:00:12.679 --> 01:00:15.880
you have to make good decisions.
Protect the football, make good decisions,

829
01:00:16.440 --> 01:00:21.480
you know, and your offensive line
has to protect the quarterback and be

830
01:00:21.519 --> 01:00:24.320
able to run the football. That's
going to keep that Michigan high powered offense

831
01:00:24.599 --> 01:00:30.119
off the field and it'll shorten the
game for the Spartans. You gotta do

832
01:00:30.199 --> 01:00:31.519
bad time possession is going to be
huge in this one. You know,

833
01:00:31.639 --> 01:00:37.800
here are words from head coach Arlan
Barnett on kateen Houser before we go.

834
01:00:37.960 --> 01:00:39.320
Let's get hyped up a little bit
about that. This is what he talked

835
01:00:39.320 --> 01:00:45.280
about with Kate. Well, he's
a college football player. He understands what

836
01:00:45.360 --> 01:00:49.960
he was signing up for when he
signed the scholarship, and this is one

837
01:00:50.000 --> 01:00:52.000
of the reasons why he chose to
come to Michigan State is to play in

838
01:00:52.119 --> 01:00:57.119
games like this. He came from
a big time high school program out there

839
01:00:57.159 --> 01:01:00.559
in California at Bosco, and so
he's I mean, not that Bosco is

840
01:01:00.599 --> 01:01:06.480
playing this type of game, but
he's used the big time atmospheres and high

841
01:01:06.559 --> 01:01:10.239
expectations. So expecting him to do
and have a great game, won't you?

842
01:01:10.480 --> 01:01:14.079
Hey listen, nuff said, There's
been a lot of talking. I'm

843
01:01:14.079 --> 01:01:17.480
gonna keep breaking this thing down as
we continue through pregame show and ultimately for

844
01:01:17.599 --> 01:01:22.679
the game on Saturday. I know
you're fired up. I'm fired up.

845
01:01:22.719 --> 01:01:25.039
I mean, what else is there
to say about this? Any time of

846
01:01:25.159 --> 01:01:29.760
just play. It's time to play
the game. But now the players,

847
01:01:29.920 --> 01:01:31.480
you know, they got to take
care of business on the field, all

848
01:01:31.559 --> 01:01:37.159
right, But at the end of
the day too, Michigan State fans,

849
01:01:37.480 --> 01:01:39.840
if you go, if you're coming
to this game thinking you're gonna go watch

850
01:01:39.840 --> 01:01:44.519
your grandmother get beat with the baseball
bat, don't even come. All right,

851
01:01:44.559 --> 01:01:46.320
if that's your thought process. If
you got to come in there with

852
01:01:46.400 --> 01:01:50.840
faith he come in there to cheer
these guys on. Don't be selling your

853
01:01:50.840 --> 01:01:53.159
tickets. Don't let this be a
takeover. You know the Lions. You

854
01:01:53.400 --> 01:01:58.599
guys are Detroit Lions fan. You
see them go to different stadiums now and

855
01:01:58.639 --> 01:02:02.480
they take over this state. Don't
let this stadium be covered in Mazon blue.

856
01:02:02.679 --> 01:02:06.480
That's what you can do. Come
out there, support these guys.

857
01:02:06.639 --> 01:02:09.039
This a rival again. We have
to be in it through the good or

858
01:02:09.079 --> 01:02:14.280
the bad. We all got that
messed up family member, but we always

859
01:02:14.320 --> 01:02:17.360
stick by their side as well,
through the good and the bad. Right

860
01:02:17.400 --> 01:02:22.320
now, we are that messed up
family member. Let's stick with each other.

861
01:02:22.440 --> 01:02:24.880
Let's cheer these boys on. Let's
have fun out there. Messed up

862
01:02:24.920 --> 01:02:28.599
family member that has an opportunity to
win a big game. That's what they

863
01:02:28.639 --> 01:02:31.199
have and they absolutely have the talent
to do it. Let's not forget that

864
01:02:31.280 --> 01:02:36.639
the talent is on that team.
You know, there's been ups and downs

865
01:02:36.679 --> 01:02:39.039
obviously throughout the course of the last
few weeks. Mister State just needs to

866
01:02:39.039 --> 01:02:43.159
put the game together to be able
to execute all the way. The matra

867
01:02:43.559 --> 01:02:47.280
of this week has been finished,
and I fully expecting to be able to

868
01:02:47.320 --> 01:02:52.440
finish in this game against Michigan.
You have a pulse. They're gonna be

869
01:02:52.519 --> 01:02:57.079
hyped up for this game. It's
gonna be a night game full of libations,

870
01:02:57.119 --> 01:03:02.119
full of electricity from both sides.
But I expect that student section to

871
01:03:02.199 --> 01:03:07.239
be deafening and the rest of the
fans in Michigan State to just make it

872
01:03:07.480 --> 01:03:13.079
hell put make it hard on JJ
McCarthy and those guys to communicate. They

873
01:03:13.119 --> 01:03:17.880
shouldn't be able to communicate out there. That makes a difference in the outcome

874
01:03:17.880 --> 01:03:22.840
of games. And I don't care
if things go their way against us.

875
01:03:22.239 --> 01:03:25.880
You still have to be in the
game. It ain't over until the damn

876
01:03:25.920 --> 01:03:30.800
thing's over. Don't forget that,
guys. Look for Otis Wiley, Jay,

877
01:03:30.840 --> 01:03:32.920
you Tutu culture stressing things out there
for Taylor to wine because I think

878
01:03:34.280 --> 01:03:37.159
the fellows are gonna listen to you. Taylor on that one. You know,

879
01:03:37.239 --> 01:03:39.719
I'm Jason Straighthorn. You know this
is part of the MSU. You

880
01:03:39.719 --> 01:03:46.360
guys have a good night. God
bless you go Brea go White. This

881
01:03:46.480 --> 01:03:50.400
game is an important game. So
they want to mac us all they want

882
01:03:50.400 --> 01:03:52.960
to Marcus. I'm telling them it's
not over. So they can print all

883
01:03:53.000 --> 01:03:57.840
that crap all they want all over
their locker room. It's not over.

884
01:03:57.880 --> 01:04:04.960
It'll never be overa It's just started. I find a lot of attemps to

885
01:04:04.960 --> 01:04:12.400
Taylor. You'd us they check yourself
Sometimes. I just remember, pride comes

886
01:04:12.400 --> 01:04:19.239
before pride comes before them. This
