WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:57.920 The following is a presentation of play Fly Sports properties. Yeah, two of 2 00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:04.840 our players were uh assault that was Uh. We saw the c I s 3 00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:11.760 saw the one video. It's the ten on one pretty pretty pretty pretty bad. 4 00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:19.239 I'm gonna let uh our athletic director, Ward Manual uh address it uh 5 00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:23.560 with the authorities and uh tid to talk about the football game the rest of 6 00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:30.519 the way. Maybe may Ward would wanna come up and talk uh after I'll 7 00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:36.359 I'll love Ward address that and haven't come up with my perspective is I heard 8 00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:40.040 from the the two players when we got into the locker room and we started 9 00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:46.480 addressing it, and then uh then the video surfaced. Uh. What happened 10 00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:49.480 after the game, UH is completely unacceptable. Uh. I've talked to the 11 00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:55.719 commissioner. UH he is looking into it. Uh. We have the police 12 00:01:56.079 --> 00:02:00.519 uh also looking into it, and it's because they've seen the video and so 13 00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:06.200 they're addressing it. We will leave it in their hands, but this is 14 00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:13.360 not how we should interact after a game. This is not the way another 15 00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:19.280 team should grab a player and do what they did. It's completely and utterly 16 00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:25.400 unacceptable. We will let Big ten in law enforcement handle it, but this 17 00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:32.319 is not what a rivalry should be about, and it's not how it should 18 00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:38.319 be remembered. We want on the field. This man and his team and 19 00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:44.280 those players went out there and won, and for that to happen, it's 20 00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:46.919 unacceptable. And that's all I'm gonna say that. I'll leave it to Kevin 21 00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:53.800 in law enforcement to handle from here on. Thank you. I don't know. 22 00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:57.800 I know there was a headed game things with him. We're trying to 23 00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:00.439 get our guys in the locker room. We'll have to figure out why. 24 00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:09.280 Yeah, provide update right now. We have a ongoing police investigation. What 25 00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:15.919 happened in the tunnel was egregious. Uh sickening to watch the videos the ones 26 00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:23.599 that are that are on social media right now, and uh also the ABC 27 00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:31.120 tunnel camp that's in a in a higher elevation that shows shows much more of 28 00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:38.439 what took place. As I said, those are those are sickening to watch. 29 00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:44.719 There needs to be accountability. There needs to be a full, thorough, 30 00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:53.919 timely investigation. I can't imagine that these will not in Uh that they 31 00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:58.919 won't. I can't imagine that this will not resolve in criminal charges. The 32 00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:06.439 videos are our bat and it's clear what transpired. It seems very very open 33 00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:13.159 and shut, as they say, watch the tape. I'm coming from this 34 00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:19.959 from a perspective of of being a parent, and these young men are entrusted 35 00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:24.240 to me, by their families and to our program, and we have the 36 00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:30.839 responsibility to each player to treat them like our own and I take that responsibility 37 00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:36.720 very seriously. An apology will not get the job done in this instance. 38 00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:45.879 There should be serious consequences for the many individuals that are culpable, and I'll 39 00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:53.480 be haalf of the twenty two twenty twenty two Michigan football team, our players, 40 00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:57.600 our coaches, our staff, our university. This has been a very 41 00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:09.439 traumatic experience for everybody, especially for Jadon and Julian, and to support them, 42 00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:15.519 will support, support, support them and their families in every possible way. 43 00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:26.639 First and foremost, Michigan State football is about integrity, discipline and selfishness, 44 00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:39.000 toughness and accountability. The incidents involved a involving a small group of our 45 00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:47.079 players do not represent our culture. Second, I made a decision. I 46 00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:58.000 made a decision to suspend players based upon video evidence that was provided to me 47 00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:08.000 in our le director yesterday. The suspensions will allow the players to receive academic 48 00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:16.199 support and medical services, but they will not be able to attend any organized 49 00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:29.839 team activities, including meetings, practices, weight training, or games. Our 50 00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:36.720 entire team will be cooperating with law enforcement and the Big Ten Conference to further 51 00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:46.240 evaluate the events in ann Arbor. We are deeply sorry. We're deeply sorry 52 00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:54.680 to both universities, the conference, our fans, alumni, supporters, and 53 00:06:54.800 --> 00:07:03.319 of course all of our student athletes, past and out of the respect for 54 00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:10.959 out of respect for the integrity of the investigation, it would be irresponsible for 55 00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:17.199 me to comment further. We'll have more updates as we learn more. Wow, 56 00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:26.759 very very deep words from Michigan State head football coach Mel Tucker. Obviously, 57 00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:32.920 the events that happened after the football game on Saturday night have superseded what 58 00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:38.079 happened on the field. Uh, you know, I hope this is sparta. 59 00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:42.560 I mean, Jason Straehorn, along with my co hosts Otis Wiley and 60 00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:47.920 Jayu chu Chew Culcrick, guys a lot to unpack here, most of it 61 00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:53.040 off the field. Unfortunately, we're gonna get right into it. You know, 62 00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:56.279 this is what the talk is right now. I mean, you're seeing 63 00:07:56.319 --> 00:08:03.000 reports on social media all over the Place of Teams has now reported about criminal 64 00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:07.480 charges being filed against Michigan State football players. This thing has gotten way out 65 00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:16.199 of hand, absolutely, man. It's it's unfortunate that we're here talking about 66 00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:22.839 this incident knowing that, uh, you know, as former players, we've 67 00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:26.560 all played in this rivalry and you know, we all have a chance in 68 00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:33.000 four quarters to handle our business accordingly on the field. And so when we 69 00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:39.279 don't handle that business and we take the loss, you gotta you gotta learn 70 00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:45.360 how to and know how to win and lose accordingly properly as a man. 71 00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:48.440 And so you know, these are life lessons that these guys are gonna have 72 00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:50.720 to learn. But you know, let's let's let's let's figure out ways to 73 00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:58.240 like truly understand how this investigation, which we're not experts in doing that, 74 00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:00.600 we let them to, you know, let the ex first do this. 75 00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:07.000 But you know, it has to truly start with Michigan's operations on the field, 76 00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:11.759 and we'll talk and deep dive on that. But this has happened two 77 00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:16.639 games prior to this game, and you cannot be a worker or anybody on 78 00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:22.200 that field. That's delegating to say that you didn't expect this to happen when 79 00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:28.159 this truly you know, the player goes in there by himself while we are 80 00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:33.480 walking to the tunnel into our locker room, and so you know, as 81 00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:37.960 he's skipping, you know, I get it, you know, it's understandable, 82 00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:41.320 but like this is this, you know, one of those things that 83 00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:43.039 man like, I know, these guys, you know, in the heat 84 00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:48.279 of the moment, you know, it's I'm sure they would like to take 85 00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:52.799 that decision back. But look at all the people around there that could have 86 00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:58.120 truly avoided that or could have helped alleviate that situation. This guy, for 87 00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:01.360 example, there's a lot of professional that aren't playing in this game. Look 88 00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:05.240 at all these people around here that should have pulled him aside and said no 89 00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:09.600 wait, you know, you think about it as far as stadium. There 90 00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:16.000 is a rope that we have extended out to let the Wave team run into 91 00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:22.240 the tunnel into the locker room, like this is just irresponsible that starts there, 92 00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:26.120 and now we're putting this all the weight on these young men and their 93 00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:30.519 decision and then you know, obviously this is transpiring. But you know, 94 00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:33.320 Jay, you I mean, we've been part of these types of moments where 95 00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:37.159 you know, we could have been these guys easy quickly, could be these 96 00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:39.799 guys. But it starts with these professionals. Man like that say you should 97 00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:43.919 have been stopped right there and not enter in. But Jay, you I 98 00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:48.279 mean, what's your thoughts on it? Man? Yeah, you know you 99 00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:52.440 said a lot of a lot of the things there otis you know, some 100 00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:54.200 of the biggest things that we have to look at. It's some of the 101 00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:58.919 biggest questions that have to be answered, you know from this one. You 102 00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:01.279 know, going into this game, this game is built up. It's a 103 00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:05.279 rivalry game. And this there's another nickname for this game is you know, 104 00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:09.200 at the start of it, it's called hate week, all right, So 105 00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:13.279 you have that that uh you know mantra with you as a player. You 106 00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:16.399 hate these guys the media from the outside, you know, they talk it 107 00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:20.759 up a house divided, Spartans versus Wolverines. You know, they hate each 108 00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:24.480 other. The clash it's been this, has been that, and then you 109 00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:28.960 pair that up, you take it into a hostile environment where you know, 110 00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:33.399 as you know, you talked about the tunnel. Our tunnels are a little 111 00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:39.639 are a little smaller than Michigan's tunnel is and there hasn't been any issues really 112 00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:45.799 in Spartan stadium, but yet all all longers issues here. Another question that 113 00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:48.840 I have is, you know, going into this game, you know I've 114 00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:50.919 been part of, you know, several rivalry games, you know, Indiana, 115 00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:56.279 Penn State, Notre Dame, all those things, and I've won a 116 00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:58.799 lot of in those games. And what happened after we win those games? 117 00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:03.039 You know, Norda, we take the megaphone, we run to our student 118 00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:07.639 section, to our family section. We celebrate with our family. There's not 119 00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:11.879 a case, there's nothing in the locker room for you to celebrate with them. 120 00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:16.919 You know, they have to usually come out and and get you off 121 00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:20.279 the field because you're celebrating and enjoying so much. So when that Michigan player 122 00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:26.000 decided to take the opportunity to skip around and go into you know, the 123 00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:31.080 Spartan players as he's walking there at the beginning, you know, the Spartan 124 00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:35.559 players are just doing anything. Something must have been said for them to act 125 00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:39.600 to this way. He couldn't have just been going right to the locker room 126 00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:45.000 and and you know he got attacked and assaulted and jumped. You know, 127 00:12:45.080 --> 00:12:46.799 like they're like they're saying it out there to be yes, at the end 128 00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:50.480 of the day, this is a black guy on the university, Yes, 129 00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:54.200 that is. And I'll talk to to the Spartan nation for a minute, 130 00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:58.159 like you know, like let me let me be very clear, like we 131 00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:05.879 understand like that there's no way to condone violence in any way whatsoever, especially 132 00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:09.480 when the game is over outside of the lines to play. But have you 133 00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:15.759 ever had a bad day at work? Has anybody out there ever felt like, 134 00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:20.200 hey, you know what, give me a minute, something just something 135 00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:24.480 happened to me just now that I don't like that. I've got a process 136 00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:30.799 for a moment, and you just don't need anybody needling you at that moment 137 00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:35.559 right there now, most of the people that are probably thinking about a bad 138 00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:39.480 day at work and you're coming home and the husband or your wife is nag 139 00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:41.279 on the kids or whatever whatever's going on. You know, I don't build 140 00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:46.879 collectorc calling. I don't know. These are eighteen Let me remind you, 141 00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:52.159 these are eighteen to twenty two year old young people, very young people. 142 00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:56.960 If we take a camera and follow you around when you're eighteen to twenty two 143 00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:01.279 years old, would you be proud out of everything that you've ever done, 144 00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:07.879 you know. So in my opinion, yes, I think that mistakes were 145 00:14:07.879 --> 00:14:11.919 made. I think that at that age it's more difficult for some to deal 146 00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:16.679 with. Okay, the emotions of a letdown. You've won two of these 147 00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:18.519 games. There's a lot of hype around this game. You're on the road. 148 00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:22.759 There's a lot of players that have never played in this environment before, 149 00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:26.919 and it's pretty hostile. It's hostile. It's it's more hostile in the big 150 00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:30.320 house when you lose, because that's when they really give it to you. 151 00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:35.759 I've seen players waving at the at the team from from the Michigan side, 152 00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:39.679 waving, which is very tongue in cheek. It's very flippid, you know, 153 00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:43.240 and there's nothing you can do about it because the game is now over 154 00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:48.559 and you're walking in the tunnel. You're trying to decompress and breathe. They 155 00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:52.120 haven't been able to take a shower yet, they haven't even heard from their 156 00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:58.960 head coach yet. And now you got this guy needling you in in your 157 00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:03.919 area. But look at the number one your walk. Why there's no day 158 00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:07.080 they say it that he's trying to go to the restroom or get treatment. 159 00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:13.720 That's bs. Okay, and no one ever skips to get treatments straight. 160 00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:18.559 I'm sorry, never never. I don't care how hurt you are if you 161 00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:22.080 win in a game. And this guy is a sophomore, he's never won 162 00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:24.960 this game before, all right, and to win it for the first time 163 00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:28.320 at home, I'm running and celebrating with the trophy. I'm not even thinking 164 00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:31.039 about treatment or anything right now. No way. I mean, stay on 165 00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:35.960 the field. Celebrate with your fans. That's who deserves to see you, 166 00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:41.159 not the players he just beat. He just kicked their ass. Stay on 167 00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:45.360 the field with your teammates. Okay, stay on the field and celebrate with 168 00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:48.240 your fan base. That's where you beloved. You Gotta go to the restroom, 169 00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:52.840 man, I give thirty seconds. I promise you that that tunnel will 170 00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:56.720 clear out. You got plenty of time to do your business and then go 171 00:15:56.799 --> 00:16:00.840 back on the field and celebrate. It's a big win. They dominated that 172 00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:04.840 game on the especially on the defensive side of the all they did, Michigan 173 00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:07.799 State had no answer for him offensively. Couldn't do it, couldn't move the 174 00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:12.080 ball. Okay, Drake Moody should been carried around the field because it was 175 00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:17.960 going seventeen of the twenty nine points itself. That guy's he all star him 176 00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:22.519 and Korum together. Those guys celebrate with them. Don't go messing with the 177 00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:26.759 team's ass. You just kick Why what's the point you did everything you needed 178 00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:30.360 to do. Now to make matters worse, We're gonna press charges on the 179 00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:33.840 kids. We're gonna we're gonna make this a bigger deal. We're gonna fan 180 00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:38.639 the flame. Look here we go right here. You know, Jami Green, 181 00:16:40.759 --> 00:16:45.000 he's pressing charges. Okay, you know he's going full full blown. 182 00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:48.159 You know, we're going cop with this. Now, We're bringing in all 183 00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:52.639 the authorities, and hey, Mount Tucker's gotta do what he's gotta do. 184 00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:56.120 Mount Tucker like, look, there's no Look. He he issues a statement 185 00:16:56.159 --> 00:17:03.519 here and you know he had to. He suspends four players, and I'll 186 00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:11.039 read first paragraph from it. Michigan State University football core values include integrity, 187 00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:18.799 discipline, unselfishness, toughness, and accountability. After reviewing the disturbing electronic evidence 188 00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:25.759 collected to date of the altercations between Michigan State and the University of Michigan student 189 00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:30.000 athletes, on October twenty ninth, twenty twenty two, we are suspending Tank 190 00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:38.880 Brown, Kyrie Crump, Angelo Gross and Zion Young effective immediately guys, you 191 00:17:38.920 --> 00:17:44.000 know, you tell me how you feel about it. From my personal look, 192 00:17:44.039 --> 00:17:47.799 he has to do this. There's video evidence. They know, some 193 00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:49.720 of the people that I know got the video there and some of the beat 194 00:17:49.720 --> 00:17:55.799 writers that they were in perfect position for this, almost like they anticipated something 195 00:17:55.880 --> 00:17:59.480 going on there. As you said a little too earlier, otis, what 196 00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:03.119 are your thoughts on the charge of being pressed against the young players? Man? 197 00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:10.279 I mean, obviously you broke the law when it comes to assaulting. 198 00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:15.359 It's it's really I'm conflicted because we play this game because this game allows you 199 00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:22.319 to relinquish punishment or you know, not harm. But you're able to play 200 00:18:22.359 --> 00:18:29.920 a violent game legally for four course. And so I've always questioned, you 201 00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:33.279 know, we've been a part of fights in practice with our own teammates, 202 00:18:33.279 --> 00:18:37.359 and you know, and and been heated moments where you've you know, had 203 00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:42.279 an altercation maybe in the game or a personal foul. But you're you're supposed 204 00:18:42.359 --> 00:18:48.240 to obviously, like I said, act like you've been there before. We 205 00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:52.599 all would take losses in our lives and in as we are playing, and 206 00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:56.960 we're in the green and white. You know, it just stings more when 207 00:18:57.200 --> 00:19:03.160 you know as we bring down this game that we were very capable of winning 208 00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:11.720 that game and we showed glimpses of great football, and you definitely when you 209 00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:18.799 lose by field goals majority and you know, a major special team turnover, 210 00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:26.519 it is it's mind blowing that where that whole game gets overshadowed with this incident. 211 00:19:26.599 --> 00:19:29.160 Man, And we lived, like you said, we live in a 212 00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:36.519 day and age that you everything's documented and so you know it's one I feel 213 00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:40.119 like this should have been already, like I told you when we first started, 214 00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:45.799 a proper plan in place on exiting the field regardless of who wins that 215 00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:48.039 game. Like if we would have won that game, we would have been 216 00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:53.440 celebrating, keeping Paul Bunyan dancing around with the fans, going to the parents 217 00:19:53.519 --> 00:19:57.920 section, singing the fight song. That takes a lot a lot of time 218 00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:03.079 for the opposing team to get to the locker room. And I just didn't 219 00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:10.400 see that. I didn't see a gap between Michigan celebrating with Paul Buyen on 220 00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:14.160 the field and it should have been saying that we're going to have a shoe, 221 00:20:14.200 --> 00:20:17.079 we'll have a ceremony or something like. It should have been a huge 222 00:20:17.400 --> 00:20:22.319 ten to fifteen minute gap in between to get everybody off the field accordingly and 223 00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:26.880 safely. And it gives you some truth with coach Franklin and Penn state on 224 00:20:27.200 --> 00:20:33.359 him issuing what they should happen, because this was the same encounter, not 225 00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:37.839 as violent, but same encounter that happened the last game two weeks ago. 226 00:20:38.279 --> 00:20:44.480 So there's some truth in it. But clearly we are another I sore, 227 00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:51.839 another issue that has another target on us because clearly we took the L and 228 00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:53.759 we're supposed to take the L like the man. Like a man's supposed to 229 00:20:53.839 --> 00:20:56.599 do is take the loss, learn from it, move to next weekend. 230 00:20:56.680 --> 00:21:03.519 Now, we have four guys who I'm sure that they are very very you 231 00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:08.400 know down right now and in the moment of that decision, we need them. 232 00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:12.119 We need to support them, right, We need to support them emotionally, 233 00:21:12.200 --> 00:21:17.759 but understand that yes, they made a mistake. But I keep harping 234 00:21:17.799 --> 00:21:22.440 on it, man, Opera races gotta be in place like its yeah, 235 00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:26.359 otis. I will jump in there and uh, you know, I think 236 00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:27.480 Coach Tucker, you know, he did the he did the thing, he 237 00:21:27.480 --> 00:21:30.960 did the out upstanding thing about you know, going in and holding our guys 238 00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:34.240 accountable. They should be held accountable. He did that, he suspended them. 239 00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:38.680 Yes, but also to the fact that Michigan would like sitting there and 240 00:21:38.720 --> 00:21:44.000 trying to play the victim in all of this when it's in their house, 241 00:21:44.119 --> 00:21:47.359 they're building, they have, they control the narrative, they control everything that 242 00:21:47.440 --> 00:21:49.920 happens there. So and I don't want to hear the excuse of you know, 243 00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:53.720 some players might have been going over to get the trophy. The game 244 00:21:53.799 --> 00:21:57.920 was out of hand by that point. Paul Bunyan's trophy was shown on the 245 00:21:57.920 --> 00:22:03.359 big screen with the Michigan pants on on their sidelines. That's where it was, 246 00:22:03.400 --> 00:22:07.240 That's where they needed to go. Those guys had no reason running to 247 00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:11.799 the Michigan State side. Absolutely no reason to do that, you know. 248 00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:17.000 And then also to the culture that University of Michigan allows for their fans, 249 00:22:17.079 --> 00:22:18.880 to the way they allow their fans to act, the things that they allow 250 00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:22.519 them to do. You know, we have a clip of coach Tucker going 251 00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:25.839 in and he's being assaulted. If that's the way we want to go about 252 00:22:25.839 --> 00:22:34.200 it, yeah, I mean that it was a young kid, that's definitely, 253 00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:41.480 that's an old man. That's an old man. That man. I 254 00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:45.279 mean, there's a lot of connotation that goes back in history. You know, 255 00:22:45.319 --> 00:22:48.319 we're talking about touching the top of the head of somebody. It's almost 256 00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:52.359 a way of belittling them, like you're my son, you know, you're 257 00:22:52.400 --> 00:22:56.880 you're my boy, Like you just don't do that. And this again is 258 00:22:56.920 --> 00:23:03.079 a situation where obviously this is a grown man here who needs to decompress. 259 00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:06.640 I know he spent a lot of money, but he's a human being. 260 00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:11.119 But where we're talking, we're not talking about this guy being also targeted, 261 00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:15.039 you know what I mean, Like they all they need to find that season 262 00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:21.839 ticket holder and he needs to be suspended in this Yeah, like let's let's 263 00:23:21.920 --> 00:23:26.279 let's go even tat for tap, Like this is something that you don't touch. 264 00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:30.319 I mean, we've been seeing this in all sports man with the NBA 265 00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:34.359 and having fans feeling like they can do whatever to people that are playing on 266 00:23:34.400 --> 00:23:38.799 the field and being competitive. Russell Westbrook, you got I mean, I 267 00:23:38.839 --> 00:23:42.680 remember back in the day when you had Smart, Marcus Smart, when he 268 00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:48.400 was at Oklahoma State, like on college campus, on the on the court, 269 00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:52.680 having to fight a fan like there's putting these guys in situations like that. 270 00:23:53.720 --> 00:23:59.079 It's just to my point, it starts with operations, and I keep 271 00:23:59.240 --> 00:24:03.680 I'm gonna say about a hundred times that let's go back to the nitt degree 272 00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:07.559 of what this happened, would happen. I feel like also everyone did the 273 00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:11.640 job, Like President Stanley came out with his that's saying, you know, 274 00:24:12.359 --> 00:24:18.200 I know Coach Tucker and Alan Hallerd would do the best their best to work 275 00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:22.880 with the investigators in the conference and the commissioner. And so that has happened. 276 00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:27.039 And now we're on sitting here Monday, and we're still talking about it, 277 00:24:27.079 --> 00:24:32.799 which I know we want to move from it, but we're here and 278 00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:37.359 it's praying that we can we can bounce back from this. But it's truly 279 00:24:38.359 --> 00:24:47.440 showing like this is a rival and we are truly now hated folks, true 280 00:24:47.480 --> 00:24:53.079 and true. Look, you know, when you when you look at situations 281 00:24:53.119 --> 00:24:56.279 like this, you have to look at what is the is there been a 282 00:24:56.319 --> 00:25:03.640 president of this happening elsewhere? Obviously we just talked about Michigan the stadium, 283 00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:07.720 having problems with Penn State and having problems with Ohio State in the past, 284 00:25:07.839 --> 00:25:11.240 and Michigan doing the same thing while they're on the road to other teams, 285 00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:15.720 like the common denominator typically is them with starting things. But then you look, 286 00:25:15.880 --> 00:25:21.079 Okay, has there been any situations where people are swinging helmets? And 287 00:25:21.319 --> 00:25:25.400 I think of two situations coming to mind. Miles Garrett is one from the 288 00:25:25.400 --> 00:25:30.240 Cleveland Browns. Miles Garrett, he swung a helmet at Rudolph, a backup 289 00:25:30.319 --> 00:25:36.640 quarterback for the Steelers. Suspend him and let's move on. Okay. Now, 290 00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:41.240 just recently this past summer in the NFL camp, there's a guy that 291 00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:47.279 plays with the Rams. I think, oh yeah, Aaron Donald, number 292 00:25:47.319 --> 00:25:52.559 ninety nine. We can pull a video from him. But he made very 293 00:25:52.599 --> 00:25:59.519 good contact with opposing players during a practice session. It wasn't during a game. 294 00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:07.640 So what did the NFL do there? Nothing? Nothing did the opposing 295 00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:14.880 player, the opposing team press charges against the reigning you know MVP of Super 296 00:26:14.880 --> 00:26:18.400 Bowl, you know, three time defensive MVP of the league, one of 297 00:26:18.440 --> 00:26:22.640 the highest paid players. No, no emotions run high. We understand that. 298 00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:26.599 We don't. We're not saying that what happened was the right thing, 299 00:26:26.079 --> 00:26:32.319 but this thing is not something that we've never seen before. We've seen this 300 00:26:32.480 --> 00:26:34.880 in camp practices. We've seen this, you know, we can go back 301 00:26:34.920 --> 00:26:38.200 in time. I've seen it in my era. You guys are seeing it 302 00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:44.839 in yours. You'll see it in Little league. They players fight other players. 303 00:26:45.519 --> 00:26:48.519 Players need to be able to decompress after games. And as you say, 304 00:26:49.359 --> 00:26:53.640 otis, let the operations handle things and separate guys and let them simmer 305 00:26:53.799 --> 00:27:00.799 down before allowing them to come back together again so that cooler heads ultimately prevail. 306 00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:04.440 And that's what we hope will happen here. You know, over time, 307 00:27:04.680 --> 00:27:10.119 as this gets further down the road, hopefully the emotion of the game 308 00:27:10.160 --> 00:27:14.039 will kind of wear down a little bit and they'll be happy with the result. 309 00:27:14.160 --> 00:27:18.640 They got the win, they've got, Paul Bunyon, leave the kids 310 00:27:18.640 --> 00:27:22.880 alone. They're gonna be suspended. And one thing that we can see out 311 00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:30.240 of all four of those suspension they're all four defensive players, and the defense 312 00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:34.960 played their asses off. Okay, think about that. That brings us to 313 00:27:37.480 --> 00:27:44.920 this is smarta game day stats summary presented to you by I hop The two 314 00:27:44.960 --> 00:27:49.000 by two by two breakfast combo equals one delicious meal.

You see, Kean 322 00:28:23.119 --> 00:28:30.240 Coleman was pretty much unguardable. Now human highlight real this game. Calm King 323 00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:36.359 Kong ain't got nothing on Kean Koman. What a great what that was a 324 00:28:36.400 --> 00:28:40.720 great throw and great even better adjustment, you know, coming back and towarding 325 00:28:40.799 --> 00:28:47.599 his body back to plucket out of the air.

Look, that's 327 00:28:52.480 --> 00:28:56.000 what we learned this summer, man jay where coach Johnson they want they want 328 00:28:56.000 --> 00:29:00.319 to catch the defense on the heels. Now I'm still trying to do why 329 00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:04.079 he grabbed his heming was that part of the celebration. That's that's that's what 330 00:29:04.119 --> 00:29:10.319 the kids do these days. And then those are all the Sellies. That's 331 00:29:10.519 --> 00:29:19.000 yeah, that's like the modified stanky legged kind of thing. I think had 332 00:29:19.440 --> 00:29:26.960 no hamstring issues. There another another great throw in a position that you know 333 00:29:26.039 --> 00:29:29.720 only he can come down with it, and the great job of him going 334 00:29:29.799 --> 00:29:33.839 up there contorting his body and uh and you know, making a play when 335 00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:36.119 it was needed, and you know, that's that's great. You know, 336 00:29:36.480 --> 00:29:38.599 going into this game, you know, the big thing that people talked about 337 00:29:38.720 --> 00:29:44.079 is, you know, can Michigan State stopped to run At the beginning of 338 00:29:44.079 --> 00:29:47.559 the game. Michigan State had you know, they were firing on all cylinders 339 00:29:47.559 --> 00:29:51.839 offensively. They came out with the reverse to read, got some yards and 340 00:29:51.880 --> 00:29:55.200 then and then another tunnel screen to him. Unfortunately that was hindered by a 341 00:29:55.240 --> 00:30:00.000 penalty. Their first drive of this game was hindered by penalties. Horse had 342 00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:04.240 I had an unsportsman like conduct penalty, you know, like I said in 343 00:30:04.279 --> 00:30:07.880 the postgame show, I was down on the sideline at the time, and 344 00:30:08.039 --> 00:30:12.680 you could hear Coach Tucker talking about we coach our guys to play through the 345 00:30:12.720 --> 00:30:18.759 whistle, not to the whistle. And I think horse reputation preceded him on 346 00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:21.759 that one, because he's he has a rep for you know, being a 347 00:30:21.759 --> 00:30:25.640 guy for coming in and having a late hit here and there. So officials 348 00:30:25.759 --> 00:30:30.119 know these these are all in their game notes and everything, right, you 349 00:30:30.160 --> 00:30:33.759 know, Horse, you know that was a drive killer you're talking about in 350 00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:37.559 the first drive of the ball game, which put them out of position to 351 00:30:37.160 --> 00:30:41.839 score. But outside of that, I mean, you know, they came 352 00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:45.559 back and it was a Neon Keon show. But then break down the fourth 353 00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:51.960 and one call deep inside Michigan territory looks like on the five yard nine here. 354 00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:53.839 Yeah, you know, I love the call of going for it on 355 00:30:53.920 --> 00:30:57.240 fourth and one, but I hate the play call of running a slow developing 356 00:30:57.319 --> 00:31:02.359 run play and look and the running back counteraction the other way that pulled the 357 00:31:03.119 --> 00:31:06.519 line, the tight end going the you know, the oppotsive way with along 358 00:31:06.559 --> 00:31:08.279 with a jet sweep. It seemed like they were getting everything to the right. 359 00:31:10.039 --> 00:31:11.799 I don't know if they were hoping they'll get a shift from Michigan's defense, 360 00:31:11.960 --> 00:31:15.799 but I just hate this play call fourth and one. You put your 361 00:31:15.839 --> 00:31:18.759 head down, you put Elijah Collins in the game, you put your head 362 00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:19.799 down, You line a full back in front of it, and you go 363 00:31:19.839 --> 00:31:22.599 and get it. Our guys better than your guys, and we're gonna get 364 00:31:22.599 --> 00:31:26.319 this one yard. No need to be cute on fourth and one. That's 365 00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:30.240 time to get dirty, time to get after it. And they did not 366 00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:33.759 do that. Look at that. You have five blue shirts three yards deep 367 00:31:33.759 --> 00:31:37.039 in the backfield on that. That's gut wrenching, that's demoralizing, and that's 368 00:31:37.200 --> 00:31:41.839 not the drive that you want to have when you're actually driving the ball and 369 00:31:41.920 --> 00:31:45.519 having success. And looks like Michigan knew the play. Look at how they 370 00:31:45.519 --> 00:31:52.160 were overloaded. There's nobody to block three four defenders like they're completely unblocked. 371 00:31:52.400 --> 00:31:56.079 When you look at this right here, like, okay, we know it's 372 00:31:56.079 --> 00:31:59.079 going over left guard. We're gonna try to act like it's going to go 373 00:31:59.200 --> 00:32:05.720 to the right with this counteraction. But Michigan totally wasn't fooled here, and 374 00:32:06.400 --> 00:32:09.960 there is no chance that play had no chance from the start. You've heard 375 00:32:10.079 --> 00:32:15.440 a lot about Peyton Thorn coming up to the line and seeing this and being 376 00:32:15.480 --> 00:32:17.720 able to check out of a play. I think this is the time right 377 00:32:17.720 --> 00:32:22.359 here, you check to a slide protection to the left and you have Keon 378 00:32:22.480 --> 00:32:24.599 go out and make a corner route to the right side because nobody can guard 379 00:32:24.680 --> 00:32:30.079 it anyway and you go go for it all. Right here, Berger, 380 00:32:30.680 --> 00:32:35.799 as we all know, has not proven to be that short yardage back that 381 00:32:35.839 --> 00:32:39.440 we hoped for him to be this thus far this season. And right here 382 00:32:39.480 --> 00:32:43.799 again, I don't think chu, chu, you could have gotten out of 383 00:32:43.799 --> 00:32:46.680 that one with three or four. Yeah, I don't think anybody could get 384 00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:50.160 out of that one. And I'm telling you like I love like I said, 385 00:32:50.160 --> 00:32:52.920 I'll say it over again. I love the fact about being gutsy going 386 00:32:52.960 --> 00:32:57.279 out there on the road and going forward on fourth and one. You will 387 00:32:57.319 --> 00:32:59.720 know with the way that your offense was playing at that time. But I 388 00:33:00.400 --> 00:33:02.480 you know, hate the play call. That's a very that's a slow developing 389 00:33:02.559 --> 00:33:07.039 play. You're gonna need, you know, I don't know. You got 390 00:33:07.039 --> 00:33:08.240 to put your head down, you gotta go. You have a fast action 391 00:33:08.359 --> 00:33:12.400 play. As a lineman, you know that you want to, you know, 392 00:33:12.519 --> 00:33:16.200 get down, get dirty and get after it. Well you think about 393 00:33:16.200 --> 00:33:19.599 what do you think about kicking for the three? Though? No, no, 394 00:33:19.759 --> 00:33:22.519 let's go back, let's keep let's keep on this. Do you see 395 00:33:22.599 --> 00:33:28.279 Kean Coleman on the line and it looks like he needs to come down with 396 00:33:28.319 --> 00:33:30.119 the right he needs to come on crack back, but you can't do they 397 00:33:30.119 --> 00:33:34.680 wore but like, look he comes down and like what is going on? 398 00:33:35.599 --> 00:33:40.680 I mean you penetrating, Like even if he cracked with know what I'm saying 399 00:33:40.720 --> 00:33:45.119 like that, Now look now look at this where like could this been an 400 00:33:45.160 --> 00:33:49.839 easy right, like a sweet sweet right? Could this been a quick jet 401 00:33:49.880 --> 00:33:52.319 motion? Give it to Jayan Reen? Like give it to your best two 402 00:33:52.440 --> 00:33:59.440 players on the field is who read Coleman? And on the third you gotta 403 00:33:59.480 --> 00:34:02.960 tight end. I can get you some extra yards to Like I'm confused on 404 00:34:04.319 --> 00:34:07.240 the call. You can almost look like when they line up, there's no 405 00:34:07.279 --> 00:34:12.639 confidence, no confidence that we're gonna get this one yard game of inches. 406 00:34:12.800 --> 00:34:15.760 Go down and mino mono, I get it. But think about this, 407 00:34:15.760 --> 00:34:21.159 This could have been a ten ten tie if you just kick this field goal. 408 00:34:21.320 --> 00:34:24.440 No, no, I'm not for kicking the field goal. I'm you're 409 00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:31.320 not. I know you're running back. Of course, you're not even on 410 00:34:31.480 --> 00:34:37.679 the roll. You are on the roads, blown every outre you want to 411 00:34:37.719 --> 00:34:45.400 steal momentum, get there, but you do have run run play. You 412 00:34:46.199 --> 00:34:53.199 don't want to flow development run play on fourth and one we know is terrible. 413 00:34:53.519 --> 00:35:00.360 Elijah Collins ticket Elijah Collins two four. There's a first who was in 414 00:35:00.400 --> 00:35:05.039 the game, and we gotta be able to say that if we're gonna call 415 00:35:05.079 --> 00:35:07.599 a run call, put the man in the game. I agree with that. 416 00:35:07.599 --> 00:35:10.000 That's from me, Like, if we don't call that call, put 417 00:35:10.039 --> 00:35:13.840 someone who's gonna get the inch. Come on, health, if you're gonna 418 00:35:13.880 --> 00:35:16.360 call that call, if you're gonna do that line up like that Coleman. 419 00:35:16.400 --> 00:35:21.360 You see all that that field back. I don't want to post route, 420 00:35:21.400 --> 00:35:23.679 have him on a corner route, toss it to the back pylon and say, 421 00:35:23.760 --> 00:35:28.639 hey, there's a jump ball, you go get it. Is there 422 00:35:28.719 --> 00:35:31.519 something? Is there something to rule books that I'm missing missing that says that 423 00:35:31.599 --> 00:35:36.840 you can't spread them out when you're inside the ten, Like you can't go 424 00:35:36.960 --> 00:35:39.480 spread Why can't we spread them out of tight? We know they loan the 425 00:35:39.519 --> 00:35:45.039 box. Oh my gosh, man, look look at fers in the box. 426 00:35:45.119 --> 00:35:50.880 Guys, you don't even a slant because everybody came through blitzing. It 427 00:35:50.960 --> 00:35:54.480 was white up there. Check that boy, man, I'm telling you jump 428 00:35:54.519 --> 00:36:04.519 ball, yeah, anything anything, Michigan. They have no safety help nothing. 429 00:36:04.679 --> 00:36:07.000 Oh my god, man, if you got to play action call there, 430 00:36:07.039 --> 00:36:12.440 I mean it's wide ass open. You understand that. All right, 431 00:36:12.519 --> 00:36:15.800 let's let's go straight in the huddle. It's time out. First of all, 432 00:36:15.840 --> 00:36:19.559 we took a time out just to do this play. But Jayu, 433 00:36:20.440 --> 00:36:22.400 you in, you're in that huddle on the sideline, and I know you 434 00:36:22.440 --> 00:36:27.400 want to give to the ball. Let's eat But what is the what is 435 00:36:27.440 --> 00:36:30.599 that call that you want to run that? You know you would have got 436 00:36:30.599 --> 00:36:36.639 that one first down, first and goal. Simple our run power, you 437 00:36:36.719 --> 00:36:38.960 know, have the the guard pull to the side and you just go right. 438 00:36:39.039 --> 00:36:42.639 You blast it right up the middle. Between tackle and tackle, you 439 00:36:42.719 --> 00:36:46.360 go in there and defense which side of the ball you're running on the right 440 00:36:46.400 --> 00:36:49.920 side. You're running up the right side right there. You have all your 441 00:36:50.000 --> 00:36:52.280 your meat that way and that at the end of the day, the reason 442 00:36:52.320 --> 00:36:58.400 for running a downhill play is because a running back is taught to always fall 443 00:36:58.480 --> 00:37:01.599 forward. All right. If you're a five to eleven running back, you're 444 00:37:01.599 --> 00:37:05.639 gonna fall forward for a yard, all right. It's fourth and one year. 445 00:37:05.760 --> 00:37:07.519 You are allowed to reach the ball. That's the only time you can 446 00:37:07.559 --> 00:37:10.960 reach the ball, you know, fourth and one, fourth and goal something 447 00:37:12.039 --> 00:37:14.679 like that. You can reach the ball if they knock it out. It's 448 00:37:14.800 --> 00:37:19.280 oh well, it's a wasted motion. Encountersould have been straight downhill. It 449 00:37:19.320 --> 00:37:22.679 should be straight straight down. Hell, get your momentum going forward, go 450 00:37:22.719 --> 00:37:28.760 down. You need one yard. You need one yard. That's all you 451 00:37:28.840 --> 00:37:30.920 need. There's no need to get cute, there's no need to try to 452 00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:35.559 trick them in some run play. You need one yard, put your head 453 00:37:35.559 --> 00:37:37.599 down, get your lineman talked up. You called that time out. You 454 00:37:37.679 --> 00:37:42.280 get your lineman talked up in their builder confidence and say, oh, line, 455 00:37:42.400 --> 00:37:45.719 it's on you, It's on you, and those guys will be salivating 456 00:37:45.760 --> 00:37:51.840 to get that one yard. Now. Could we have moved Lee Carr to 457 00:37:52.079 --> 00:37:57.239 an I formation full back to get that push or give him a full back 458 00:37:57.360 --> 00:38:02.840 nine? Like absolutely, League like this man, this could have been an 459 00:38:02.840 --> 00:38:08.079 easy uh, this could be easy win play for him too. Oh my 460 00:38:08.119 --> 00:38:12.840 goodness, I get sick of looking at it because that was actually were talked 461 00:38:12.840 --> 00:38:16.639 about game changing play, like that was a momentum shift that if we would 462 00:38:16.679 --> 00:38:21.000 have got that, we went up like we would have scored. We would 463 00:38:21.000 --> 00:38:22.000 have scored, if we got that first down, we would have scored. 464 00:38:22.679 --> 00:38:28.679 But you know, like, yeah, I'm done with this play too. 465 00:38:28.760 --> 00:38:30.480 Frustra it's frustrated. Yeah, kudos to the defense. You know, that's 466 00:38:30.480 --> 00:38:34.719 a sudden change right there. That's a momentum change right there. Defense has 467 00:38:34.719 --> 00:38:37.079 to jump back on there on the field and you know, kudles to how 468 00:38:37.159 --> 00:38:43.239 don't you just a field goal? Yeah they did. Yeah, I mean 469 00:38:43.239 --> 00:38:45.719 they drove J. J. McCarry drove all the way down the field. 470 00:38:45.760 --> 00:38:49.440 But we we end up getting that that that uh, that stopped getting the 471 00:38:49.440 --> 00:38:52.320 three, which is a win, right, that's a win. Look, 472 00:38:53.119 --> 00:38:57.960 Moody, Moody was the guy for this. That was it. I mean, 473 00:38:58.400 --> 00:39:01.400 you're talking about a team that's ever close to forty three points a game 474 00:39:01.599 --> 00:39:07.000 coming into that game. Talking about Michigan and misisters. State's dominate them if 475 00:39:07.039 --> 00:39:09.880 you want, if you will, Like corm didn't get his yards, but 476 00:39:10.280 --> 00:39:15.360 early on, i mean all the way through the fourth quarter, the defense 477 00:39:15.480 --> 00:39:17.400 was playing lights out. Let's switch over to that side of the ball and 478 00:39:17.480 --> 00:39:23.000 we look at how they performed early on. There's a swing pass that happens 479 00:39:23.119 --> 00:39:30.320 from JJ McCarthy to the left sideline and what happens, Big X comes up 480 00:39:31.159 --> 00:39:37.760 and makes a stick. Now you can differently, you can easily tell who 481 00:39:37.840 --> 00:39:43.000 was ready and who wasn't. And Xavier has played in this game time and 482 00:39:43.000 --> 00:39:46.920 time out and has came with that bang and balling out man like you could. 483 00:39:47.559 --> 00:39:51.119 He comes up, he got one leg band, it comes in, 484 00:39:51.440 --> 00:39:54.559 sticks the ricks boom. That's how you ball in this game, man. 485 00:39:54.639 --> 00:39:58.639 And look at the emotion that he showed. Look at the emotion that he 486 00:39:58.760 --> 00:40:01.880 showed after that play. That's what this game is about. That is that 487 00:40:01.880 --> 00:40:07.199 that emotion And you put all that work into this and you know you're gonna 488 00:40:07.199 --> 00:40:10.199 be disappointed at the end of it. But yes, that's what that's what 489 00:40:10.239 --> 00:40:15.039 we need. Man, Like that was I mean, I felt that like 490 00:40:15.119 --> 00:40:16.880 I felt like I have made that hit, Like that is one of those 491 00:40:16.960 --> 00:40:22.880 game changing Now we talked about how great we played and how the defense came 492 00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:25.800 with it, you know, and not having the momentum of the offense after 493 00:40:25.880 --> 00:40:29.920 you know, the couple that drives you know, that first touchdown with Kean 494 00:40:30.039 --> 00:40:34.239 Komen. But like this is what you look you see this excitement. But 495 00:40:34.320 --> 00:40:37.639 then we got to go in and figure out, like what was the work 496 00:40:37.960 --> 00:40:42.400 the weaknesses of this game and our point. You know, the same hero, 497 00:40:43.159 --> 00:40:46.480 same herald guy who has been killing it weekend, week out in Jacobi 498 00:40:46.559 --> 00:40:50.639 women. You know, I hate that we got to highlight this, but 499 00:40:50.719 --> 00:40:52.519 this was the weakness of the game. You know, you got one on 500 00:40:52.519 --> 00:40:57.119 one, man on one on your mine on and if you look at it, 501 00:40:57.519 --> 00:41:00.119 you look at this point of it could easily become cover if you have 502 00:41:00.400 --> 00:41:05.119 eye control, you know, you and man. But you get stuck in 503 00:41:05.239 --> 00:41:08.400 eyes on looking at j JJ McCarty and he's looking at him the whole time 504 00:41:08.440 --> 00:41:10.760 and just setting him up, baiting him, and all of a sudden, 505 00:41:12.280 --> 00:41:15.239 you lose sight of your man, You lose sight of boom. This is 506 00:41:15.280 --> 00:41:22.719 a past effective that could easily get a pass, breakup or even interception if 507 00:41:22.719 --> 00:41:25.840 you just embrace it, catch it, drive, plant and drive. But 508 00:41:25.920 --> 00:41:30.880 look look at that look at that trajectory, that angle like this was a 509 00:41:30.920 --> 00:41:34.679 couple of times when we've seen this happen through throughout the game, you know, 510 00:41:35.239 --> 00:41:42.920 and and Jacoby's defense here they Doman Edwards is the young man's little Alvin 511 00:41:42.960 --> 00:41:51.159 Kamara man. That is a talented running back that I get it this We've 512 00:41:51.159 --> 00:41:57.840 seen him cover just like this in previous games, and yeah, but look 513 00:41:58.000 --> 00:42:02.000 he got the talent, Like look, this is an opportunity you also exposed 514 00:42:02.039 --> 00:42:06.320 you exposed and putting a lot of pressure on this one man. And he 515 00:42:06.440 --> 00:42:09.800 is legitimately playing lights out wherever they tell him to play, he's playing. 516 00:42:10.199 --> 00:42:13.840 And I'm not want to pick on him, but like this is what Michigan 517 00:42:14.119 --> 00:42:17.400 did their studying and seeing we got to get him in one on one situation. 518 00:42:17.960 --> 00:42:21.400 Yeah, so what what they did that is this? This? This 519 00:42:21.519 --> 00:42:23.760 set him up our defense put him in the island there, And that's a 520 00:42:23.800 --> 00:42:28.079 simple route. That route is called an option route. The running back has 521 00:42:28.079 --> 00:42:30.400 the option to go in or to go out. He's gonna go in and 522 00:42:30.400 --> 00:42:32.320 he's gonna stick that foot, set him up inside with that headfake, and 523 00:42:32.320 --> 00:42:36.360 then take it to the outside. You have to have loose hips, you 524 00:42:36.400 --> 00:42:38.239 have to be an athletic guy to be able to cover that. I think 525 00:42:38.280 --> 00:42:43.599 women was in a bit of a disadvantage, but I think it could have 526 00:42:43.599 --> 00:42:46.559 went either way. He could have went to what you do? You know, 527 00:42:46.599 --> 00:42:49.960 you're the defensive guy orders, but correct me. If I'm if I'm 528 00:42:49.960 --> 00:42:52.599 winmen there and I see this guy coming, I'm gonna go try to bang 529 00:42:52.679 --> 00:42:59.679 him at the line and reroute him. Oh NFL level, NFL level, 530 00:42:59.679 --> 00:43:06.840 what my I'm backer to cover a guy like that. Matt Mlano Parsons Michael 531 00:43:06.880 --> 00:43:14.599 Parterson. Milano absolutely now look even said the fastest guy on the planet that 532 00:43:14.639 --> 00:43:19.199 plays off the place. Listen, man, I'm just saying, I said, 533 00:43:19.239 --> 00:43:22.719 Matt Milano. He's a nifty guy from BC. Best cover linebacker in 534 00:43:22.760 --> 00:43:28.320 the league. Right now for the Buffalo Bells. You just love them Buffalo 535 00:43:28.360 --> 00:43:35.800 Bills. Now listen the call on defense, like you should have some type 536 00:43:35.840 --> 00:43:38.239 of check knowing that, okay, they spreaded us out, which we did 537 00:43:38.239 --> 00:43:43.119 a spread and we got knowing that, oh this is man and man, 538 00:43:43.440 --> 00:43:45.920 we already know we're gonna get We're gonna get a we're gonna get an advantage. 539 00:43:46.239 --> 00:43:50.800 So in this point is we need to check it on. We need 540 00:43:50.840 --> 00:43:52.639 to get up out of this man knowing that we got our guy one o 541 00:43:52.800 --> 00:43:55.840 one. But if you do also look at him, man, hell of 542 00:43:55.880 --> 00:44:01.880 a game by the tight ends right in play, same situation here, we're 543 00:44:01.880 --> 00:44:07.760 in a cover two man and you look at Jakobe. Where's his eyes? 544 00:44:07.239 --> 00:44:13.159 Oh man, you got reroute at least re robe them slow him down and 545 00:44:13.199 --> 00:44:16.280 then letting let him catch up where girls can kind of carry it. But 546 00:44:16.920 --> 00:44:24.719 this is another offensive defensive coaching strategy that offensive coordinator sold the holes and boom, 547 00:44:25.119 --> 00:44:30.440 second to team turns into a twenty twenty our game. Now if you 548 00:44:30.440 --> 00:44:36.199 look at the next clip, same situation. There's no re rut from my 549 00:44:36.280 --> 00:44:40.000 boy holiday, no rerout eyes in the backfield, you just covering space. 550 00:44:40.639 --> 00:44:45.639 I mean, this is just the situations of tension to detail. No reroute. 551 00:44:45.880 --> 00:44:49.320 You can run free. That is killing a secondary safety. You got 552 00:44:49.320 --> 00:44:52.199 it. You can't. You can't even recognize which Roddy's running because he gets 553 00:44:52.599 --> 00:44:58.880 coming Scott Free. We gotta we gotta get, we gotta get, we 554 00:44:58.960 --> 00:45:02.480 gotta get home. And so those are those big plays They don't look big, 555 00:45:02.719 --> 00:45:07.400 but they are big plays in a situation where defense we did a great 556 00:45:07.480 --> 00:45:13.079 job throughout the entire game. And these are those big play games, those 557 00:45:13.239 --> 00:45:17.960 big play games that just obviously start to pile up and then obviously they turned 558 00:45:17.960 --> 00:45:21.679 the tide and you know, won that game. But you know, those 559 00:45:21.679 --> 00:45:24.960 are those situations where you think about, Okay, they did their homework. 560 00:45:25.639 --> 00:45:29.679 They looked at what we do. We're aggressive, and we are aggressive. 561 00:45:30.000 --> 00:45:32.239 And when we started putting our guys on islands, you know, Mono I 562 00:45:32.320 --> 00:45:36.679 mono. Donovan Edwards, kudos to him, man, like hell of an 563 00:45:36.719 --> 00:45:38.280 athlete, right, I mean, you got to use your players to their 564 00:45:38.320 --> 00:45:42.639 advantage, and they did. They did the right thing, you think. 565 00:45:42.960 --> 00:45:45.079 You know, I didn't hear any reports of this, but looking at the 566 00:45:45.079 --> 00:45:46.960 way women was playing, it looked like he you know, it was banged 567 00:45:47.039 --> 00:45:50.519 up a little bit, wasn't playing. I don't know if it was a 568 00:45:50.519 --> 00:45:52.840 physical situation or the moment was a little big. I mean, this is 569 00:45:52.880 --> 00:45:59.800 the biggest game he's been in coming from UNLV, this environment here, I 570 00:45:59.840 --> 00:46:01.599 mean, ain't listen. I don't know if he looked banged up or more 571 00:46:01.679 --> 00:46:07.079 so like this is that this is that, This is that top game where 572 00:46:07.119 --> 00:46:09.719 you're supposed to get that stats, right, that's that money game, money 573 00:46:09.719 --> 00:46:14.639 game you're supposed to be locked in loaded and knowing that we've seen him make 574 00:46:14.679 --> 00:46:19.039 these players before, man, and you know, it is what it is. 575 00:46:19.079 --> 00:46:21.800 But he'll learn from it because he's a smart he's a smart player, 576 00:46:22.000 --> 00:46:25.280 heleven athlete. He'll learn from it. So my question to that that play 577 00:46:25.360 --> 00:46:30.920 there that we just saw there, what a help if we were in forty 578 00:46:30.960 --> 00:46:35.199 three you don't have another backer out there or something if you're gonna play that, 579 00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:39.480 because I mean there we gotta we are, we got a diye packaging. 580 00:46:39.519 --> 00:46:43.679 You got grossing. I mean he's kind of your high hybrid, right, 581 00:46:44.239 --> 00:46:49.440 so in a sense, holiday like look the d N, where's the 582 00:46:49.559 --> 00:46:53.960 chip? Where's the chip? Yeah, but gross isn't he I'm looking at 583 00:46:53.960 --> 00:46:58.639 the tight end play like JJ McCarthy knows where he's going. You see, 584 00:46:58.679 --> 00:47:00.639 he didn't check to know d ball. He didn't even throw a deep ball 585 00:47:00.679 --> 00:47:07.119 pass. Besides these crosses like chip the tight end so that you slow his 586 00:47:07.199 --> 00:47:08.639 route back. Well, if gross is gonna be the hybrid, he needed 587 00:47:08.679 --> 00:47:12.760 to stay in. You know what I'm saying, He's like think about it, 588 00:47:12.800 --> 00:47:15.360 like, I don't know if it could. It looks like cover two 589 00:47:15.440 --> 00:47:21.360 men, But it also looks like he can legitimately carry this slot receiver to 590 00:47:21.679 --> 00:47:24.880 KB and come off of it to this drag. Look, he could have 591 00:47:24.960 --> 00:47:30.599 carried and stuck it right here. But you got look at you see what 592 00:47:30.599 --> 00:47:34.000 I mean, Like there's a guy where you say N and N come off 593 00:47:34.039 --> 00:47:39.280 of it and that drag is could be interception or a nice hit. But 594 00:47:39.360 --> 00:47:49.400 look they're so locked and loaded. You know it's covered two men, it's 595 00:47:50.199 --> 00:47:54.280 straight. That's that's tackling you know, very poor for first quarter. You 596 00:47:54.320 --> 00:47:58.960 know, typically the rival game, you're gonna see a lot more fire with 597 00:47:59.079 --> 00:48:01.960 guys. But they did a good job overall stopping the major bleeding, especially 598 00:48:01.960 --> 00:48:07.199 when he got inside the red zone. They limited Michigan to field goals five 599 00:48:07.920 --> 00:48:13.840 times. To see Moody was five or five with Alma fifty four yard before 600 00:48:14.760 --> 00:48:20.320 fifty four and we just put them in in the first round draft. Yeah, 601 00:48:20.400 --> 00:48:23.320 yeah, the first kicker off the board. Yeah, you know, 602 00:48:23.360 --> 00:48:27.800 we're going into the game. We talked about it last week on the show, 603 00:48:27.840 --> 00:48:30.760 and even Rico, you know, mentioned how Moody's a great kicker. 604 00:48:30.079 --> 00:48:32.320 You know, he's a good kicker. We know that. But at the 605 00:48:32.400 --> 00:48:36.679 end of the day, that's fine. I would if they said you're going 606 00:48:36.760 --> 00:48:39.679 to go in there and Michigan's gonna have five field goals, I would say, 607 00:48:39.719 --> 00:48:44.239 okay, I'll take that absolutely, because, yeah, I think my 608 00:48:44.360 --> 00:48:50.000 offense can do something. But our offense came there, can't show up. 609 00:48:50.159 --> 00:48:52.360 Yeah, you know. So that's the thing. And you know, while 610 00:48:52.400 --> 00:48:57.119 we're talking about Moody here, let's talk about our special teams. It's coming 611 00:48:57.119 --> 00:49:02.639 back to hauntas are long snapping woes again. That game against Wisconsin. You 612 00:49:02.679 --> 00:49:06.800 know, we shook it off. We laughed it off because we won the 613 00:49:06.840 --> 00:49:12.239 game. And now in a game like this, two over the head snaps, 614 00:49:12.960 --> 00:49:15.679 So we need to figure it out. I don't know if you're in 615 00:49:15.760 --> 00:49:17.760 East if you're watching this, if you're a student in East Lanson, if 616 00:49:17.760 --> 00:49:22.920 you're a guy sitting at the bar and you have some eligibility left and you 617 00:49:22.960 --> 00:49:24.920 want to go win for a semester and you can long snap, I'm telling 618 00:49:24.960 --> 00:49:28.960 you go to the football building, knock on the door and say, hey, 619 00:49:29.159 --> 00:49:31.000 coach, I can long snap. Let me let me give it a 620 00:49:31.000 --> 00:49:35.800 shot, because at the end of the day it's gonna come back. You 621 00:49:35.840 --> 00:49:38.440 know, we got away with it against Wisconsin and where he hed and my 622 00:49:38.480 --> 00:49:42.920 Grandpapy always said same thing. Make you laugh, will make you cry, 623 00:49:43.840 --> 00:49:47.760 oh always. I mean that's that is. I think the long snapper situation 624 00:49:47.840 --> 00:49:52.559 is that the long snapper's hurt, Pepper's hurt. Correct. So I don't 625 00:49:52.639 --> 00:49:59.440 know, now you should have more backup long snapper right now from what I 626 00:49:59.519 --> 00:50:02.320 you know with the study that we've done. So this guy was a little 627 00:50:02.400 --> 00:50:07.840 high. He was high on one. You know, made a very athletic 628 00:50:07.920 --> 00:50:12.840 play to get in town and then the next one was just completely over the 629 00:50:12.840 --> 00:50:16.760 punter's head. I mean it was wasn't even close and which which causes uh 630 00:50:17.599 --> 00:50:21.920 problems. And you give the ball and point Blake Raine to Michigan's offense. 631 00:50:22.320 --> 00:50:23.920 I think it was on the eight yard line and there was really nothing that 632 00:50:23.920 --> 00:50:28.119 the defense could do to stop the scoring at that time. But to that 633 00:50:28.159 --> 00:50:30.199 point, I mean, korum and only had one touchdown. You look at 634 00:50:30.320 --> 00:50:37.199 Moody seventeen points on the day, Blake korm has the other twelve himself and 635 00:50:37.280 --> 00:50:43.360 one of six of those twelve pretty much give it because of the I have 636 00:50:43.440 --> 00:50:45.239 to. I have to take my hat off to Blake Corky. He total 637 00:50:45.280 --> 00:50:49.559 in the rock thirty three times. Look at this run right here, man, 638 00:50:49.639 --> 00:50:53.719 but positive like he was getting eight positive easy like it was crazy. 639 00:50:53.920 --> 00:50:59.400 I was getting I was in the standslink. Look at that's embarrassing right there 640 00:50:59.679 --> 00:51:05.159 from mister state side of the ball. Three spartans collide and he's spin moving, 641 00:51:06.199 --> 00:51:10.679 be smoke. Look ave that that's crazy. Remind me and ever remind 642 00:51:10.679 --> 00:51:19.239 me of that number twenty one similar like twins right, you know gravity? 643 00:51:19.760 --> 00:51:23.960 Just oh man, how is that the safety coming down on this or this? 644 00:51:24.079 --> 00:51:32.000 What's the thought process? You need to wrap up? But look, 645 00:51:32.119 --> 00:51:37.880 look, my man, listen, man, a mirror speed is bro. 646 00:51:38.119 --> 00:51:42.280 This is a if you go play in the league. This is an open 647 00:51:42.280 --> 00:51:45.719 field tackle that you take. You you are six four, bro, like 648 00:51:47.079 --> 00:51:51.400 the very least hold my man up and you don't you dive in. You 649 00:51:51.440 --> 00:51:53.519 already got two helpers. All you gotta do is go to the outside. 650 00:51:53.559 --> 00:51:59.559 Outside. Balance is out, man like, put your helmet to the put 651 00:51:59.559 --> 00:52:04.480 your helmets the ball man. He closed his eyes. Man horn did his 652 00:52:04.519 --> 00:52:07.559 scoundary for he knew to run. Did you see that run from that back 653 00:52:07.599 --> 00:52:12.039 angle? If he put a foot and gone inside, he could have got 654 00:52:12.079 --> 00:52:15.119 some hay. But he knew where he run. Hey man, look we 655 00:52:15.239 --> 00:52:21.760 call that insight to the right here we called this. You blinking. You 656 00:52:21.920 --> 00:52:25.079 blinking while you're tackling. You ain't seeing your opponent. Man, eyes up, 657 00:52:25.400 --> 00:52:30.960 look at the ball man and just hit that man hit A did a 658 00:52:30.000 --> 00:52:37.440 great job tackling woman on that play. This could have been an a C 659 00:52:37.639 --> 00:52:42.320 on Gross, but thankfully Gross got back up. But this, if Gross 660 00:52:42.320 --> 00:52:46.840 doesn't get back up, this is a touchdown. This is a touchdown because 661 00:52:46.840 --> 00:52:52.480 they had everything blod oh man, Yeah, Xavier's got two O linemen on 662 00:52:52.559 --> 00:52:59.880 him. Man, right, I mean, look, we talked about this. 663 00:53:00.199 --> 00:53:04.440 You said that offensive line is some animals. Man, you said that 664 00:53:04.599 --> 00:53:07.840 coach there. Look at these boys running, man like, I mean, 665 00:53:07.880 --> 00:53:12.599 look, man, they wanted to Joe More Award last year. I think 666 00:53:12.639 --> 00:53:16.920 they graduated four of those linemen and they come back with basically they reloaded the 667 00:53:16.920 --> 00:53:21.480 whole offensive line and they're just a good That's good, if not better. 668 00:53:21.719 --> 00:53:28.840 Those boys are athletic. Look at this man downfield. Everybody got somebody and 669 00:53:28.920 --> 00:53:35.119 we just man double elbows. Everybody spatted that offensive line. I mean that's 670 00:53:35.119 --> 00:53:37.639 not by accident, guys, That's how they prepare them to come out. 671 00:53:37.679 --> 00:53:43.400 They look sweet. Everybody's running down the field, and we gotta get you 672 00:53:43.440 --> 00:53:46.639 gotta rise to that level. You gotta get like Jacoby again, look at 673 00:53:46.679 --> 00:53:51.440 it, like if once we get this back, Jacoby false steps. As 674 00:53:51.480 --> 00:53:55.480 a linebacker, you're going in when Blake Korn is going opposite ways. You 675 00:53:55.480 --> 00:54:00.000 know, as a linebacker, you're supposed to be in mirror with that running 676 00:54:00.119 --> 00:54:02.800 back. You pick it, you take on that that block. But like 677 00:54:02.880 --> 00:54:06.920 at the point you should have been gone already, that line man, shouldn't 678 00:54:06.840 --> 00:54:08.920 have been on you. I hate that I'm being so critical, but it's 679 00:54:08.920 --> 00:54:13.679 so frustrating that I know these guys could play better, and I know they 680 00:54:13.719 --> 00:54:20.519 want absolutely. I think the intricacies of the game from your viewpoint, your 681 00:54:20.559 --> 00:54:23.159 perspective is is great. I mean, O, it's your defensive that no 682 00:54:23.199 --> 00:54:27.719 one knows who had who in the secondary. Let you know the call, 683 00:54:28.079 --> 00:54:31.639 but you can see you can pick it up a lot quicker than most and 684 00:54:31.760 --> 00:54:35.719 uh, you know, Jay, he's got to train that, but he 685 00:54:35.840 --> 00:54:37.840 totally the rock. He didn't know how to defend it. Like get off 686 00:54:37.920 --> 00:54:42.800 blocks, man, like you're just letting one. One thing was if you 687 00:54:42.880 --> 00:54:46.440 let one man block you, like you you're losing your You're failing your other 688 00:54:46.519 --> 00:54:51.039 man on the team. On the on the defense, it's like be active, 689 00:54:51.159 --> 00:54:53.159 get off at the very least, pop in the mouth. But like 690 00:54:53.199 --> 00:54:58.280 you got d lineman can't get off one block. You got k KB is 691 00:54:59.039 --> 00:55:02.719 inside along arm man on the opposite side. It's just no, he didn't 692 00:55:02.960 --> 00:55:07.199 like no one wanted it. Just blood in the water and eat man on 693 00:55:07.320 --> 00:55:13.679 this one. This man like it's ridiculous. You know about draft picks, 694 00:55:13.679 --> 00:55:15.840 people are talking a lot about our horns. Not a K nine and the 695 00:55:15.960 --> 00:55:21.119 okay, he's not Kate nine. He may not be as it's explosive as 696 00:55:21.119 --> 00:55:24.039 a as a Kenneth Walker the third, but the kid definitely does go beyond 697 00:55:24.079 --> 00:55:28.480 the x's and os, as you can see right there, one hundred and 698 00:55:28.559 --> 00:55:34.960 seventy seven yards on the day. Man the way he was a talk one 699 00:55:35.800 --> 00:55:37.159 man. The way he was running too, like you could play like three 700 00:55:37.159 --> 00:55:42.760 more quarters because he was just going though like it was it almost like backyard 701 00:55:42.760 --> 00:55:47.079 football, man. Like we talked about imposing wheel against Will and they had 702 00:55:47.119 --> 00:55:51.440 the will more will to win the game and they wanted it, and we 703 00:55:51.639 --> 00:55:55.880 just they took it. They took it. And as a Spartan dog, 704 00:55:57.079 --> 00:56:02.400 it's frustrated because I know we could we could have beat that team. But 705 00:56:02.760 --> 00:56:06.679 we'll take it. We'll learn from it, and right, we got it 706 00:56:06.719 --> 00:56:10.840 next year, but it's we got another tough one next next week this weekend. 707 00:56:12.360 --> 00:56:16.199 Yeah. Well, to my closing on this game, here is the 708 00:56:16.280 --> 00:56:20.039 fact that what Michigan State needs to remember is they have to take this, 709 00:56:20.119 --> 00:56:22.880 they have to lock it and bottle it in and they have to accept it. 710 00:56:23.239 --> 00:56:28.000 We went to their place, we got beat. The next thing is 711 00:56:28.119 --> 00:56:31.159 remember the fact under four minutes left in the game and they're doing a double 712 00:56:31.199 --> 00:56:36.199 reverse and everything like that, a double verse pass and all that stuff. 713 00:56:36.360 --> 00:56:40.880 Remember that bottle that up. Have that same feeling you had when they stuck 714 00:56:40.920 --> 00:56:45.360 the steak in the ground that Spartan stadium. So fester on that for the 715 00:56:45.360 --> 00:56:50.360 next year. There's sixty three days now, you know, fifty three days 716 00:56:50.360 --> 00:56:53.159 now that's left. Faster on that and get ready for next year for that. 717 00:56:53.400 --> 00:56:55.760 But let's take care of business this week, and let's take care of 718 00:56:55.800 --> 00:56:59.079 business the rest of the season so we can play for a bowl game and 719 00:56:59.079 --> 00:57:04.199 get some more time to get other effort. Team final thoughts otus, Yeah, 720 00:57:04.239 --> 00:57:08.960 I we we saw. We always said this or I said this is 721 00:57:09.039 --> 00:57:13.280 there's victory in the feet. So well, either way you look at it, 722 00:57:13.679 --> 00:57:15.239 you know we will learn from it and will get better. That's the 723 00:57:15.239 --> 00:57:17.559 only way up. The only way up is to get better. And so 724 00:57:19.199 --> 00:57:24.239 this week, Illinois knows that we lost one and we're down, and so 725 00:57:24.280 --> 00:57:28.559 we're gonna come hungry. But like you know, it's one of those things 726 00:57:28.559 --> 00:57:32.320 of proper preparation. It's gonna you know, make us win this game, 727 00:57:32.440 --> 00:57:36.280 or we're gonna wield ourselves to this. But like, you can't just show 728 00:57:36.360 --> 00:57:39.960 up and I think we're learning you can't just show up and just hope to 729 00:57:40.039 --> 00:57:44.119 the Lord himself that we're gonna win this game. You got to bring it, 730 00:57:44.280 --> 00:57:46.159 and you got to bring that effort. And so back to the drawing 731 00:57:46.199 --> 00:57:51.199 board. We'll get this. All the noise around us got to cut it 732 00:57:51.239 --> 00:57:54.039 out, knowing that you know, that's not us. We'll transpire there. 733 00:57:54.079 --> 00:57:58.079 That's not our culture, that's not who we are. And we're gonna hear 734 00:57:58.199 --> 00:58:05.559 rumblings around around, but stay focused, stay strictly on the path and this 735 00:58:05.679 --> 00:58:10.639 weekend, as we know, preview the linnine matchup down there in Champagne. 736 00:58:12.519 --> 00:58:15.960 We'll use it as fuel and we'll get better. That's my end of it. 737 00:58:16.119 --> 00:58:21.039 Yeah, you know, it was a pretty disheartening performance, but there 738 00:58:21.119 --> 00:58:23.679 was some silver lining to it. There was a lot of good things done 739 00:58:24.239 --> 00:58:27.920 on the defense side of the ball, and obviously on the offense too. 740 00:58:27.960 --> 00:58:30.440 You saw Keon had a big time game. You know, you see more 741 00:58:30.480 --> 00:58:35.480 of that, more Keon call and more Jay reed to play to the strengths 742 00:58:35.519 --> 00:58:38.559 of the team. Peyton Thorn didn't have a bad game. Look okay, 743 00:58:38.679 --> 00:58:43.199 like offensive line got to do better, but you can do better. You 744 00:58:43.199 --> 00:58:45.920 know. That's the thing about this game that's so beautiful that you have a 745 00:58:45.079 --> 00:58:52.639 chance to be a different animal than you were yesterday today, And hopefully Michigan 746 00:58:52.679 --> 00:58:54.519 State will look at themselves in the mirror, look at what they did good, 747 00:58:55.159 --> 00:59:00.800 correct the things that they did poorly, and have their best sixty minutes 748 00:59:00.840 --> 00:59:07.639 as they go down the road to Brett Belamas Inlini. Who are they're rolling? 749 00:59:07.800 --> 00:59:10.800 They're top twenty team, So this is gonna be another great matchup from 750 00:59:10.880 --> 00:59:14.679 Michigan State. We look forward to seeing you guys there. We're gonna break 751 00:59:14.679 --> 00:59:17.800 this thing down and talk about the game coming up here in a couple of 752 00:59:17.880 --> 00:59:24.639 days and until next time. This is Sparta And for Jukulprik and Otis Wiley, 753 00:59:24.679 --> 00:59:30.639 I'm Jason Straehorn. Have good night, God bless and go Green, Go
