Thursday morning, Jake, Flynn, Elandra and Tata all here with you.
How we doing? How are we living now? You had
your hood up when I first walked in today. There
it was.
Speaker 5: I feel like it was blow fifty degrees in here
before you stepped in.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I don't know why they ever turned off, but I'm
feeling good. It has been exceptionally cold in studio this week,
which I will not complain too much about. It's better
than being hot. Don't look at me like that, you
know It's true.
Speaker 3: Way in the pros and content.
Speaker 5: Excited, excited to be back in the foxhole on a
Thursday morning. A lot of home games in a row.
We had lots of home game little little good little
stretch there. Yeah, of course we're gonna miss pro Dreams today,
but we're excited to be back at studio. Play little golf. Yesterday,
I did play a little golf. I hadn't played golf
in a hot minute.
Speaker 3: How'd it go? You got the Ryder cup bug? I
got the Ryder cup bug?
Speaker 5: Like which, like, I almost feel unpatriotic that I haven't
even brought it up all week?
Speaker 4: Been so locked in? Am I more patriotic because I
brought it up first?
Speaker 5: So I'm saying I've just been so locked into these
hot football takes at that time.
Speaker 3: We need a fourth hour. No, we don't too much
of a good thing.
Speaker 5: You do enough radio, Yeah we do. We need need
to kind of start waxing them.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't think me elandra a take can give
you much. You know, the first segment is not the time.
It's one of those conversations you got to build.
Speaker 5: Up the anticipation mm hmm, because all eyes, all ears
will be on that segment. We talked about the rider
cap without question, but y'all know it's true. Tomorrow it
starts America today. Normally a golf tournament start on Thursdays.
Not today, nope, Okay, but America us A about to
beat the brakes off Europe.
Speaker 4: Yeah, how do they get all of Europe and we
just get the US? Can we get like no, we're
that badass? Okay, we get North America.
Speaker 3: You want to America versus the world.
Speaker 4: So like the Canadians don't get to play, No, wow,
they don't.
Speaker 5: The Aussies they don't get to play. But there's other
there's other tournaments in this style. I think it's the
President's got there. There's a couple other tournaments in the
style that they do, take like, you know, different parts
of the world and play against America. So we're always
just us. It's just us, okay, US first? Then US first.
The world as a ways should.
Speaker 4: Be like Coach Bombay said, we're Team USA and we're
gonna go all the way and Mighty Ducks two.
Speaker 3: If you believe it, you can achieve it.
Speaker 4: Yeah all right, we'll let you talk about Ryder Cup
a little bit later on uh Tite did mention we
got Patrick Willis NFL Hall of Famer set to join
us at eight point thirty. Of course old miss Legend
as well. Well, he's out there on the West coast.
So he's waking up early with us this morning, so
looking forward to that conversation early.
Speaker 3: Is he waking up just for this or you think
he's an early riser in general? Probably an early riser.
Speaker 4: I would assume just kind of knowing him and playing
against him a bunch, I would assume he gets his day.
Speaker 3: He started pretty early.
Speaker 5: If when we have that interview, if you hear a
tremble in my voice, it's because he's a very terrifying
human being, very very nice, incredibly nice. I've never had
a conversation with him. All I know is the terror.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's probably got a club on his hand currently
right now.
Speaker 3: Dude, he broke his hand on purpose playing with the club.
Speaker 4: I don't know that I played against him where he
didn't have a club. We played him every year. They
were our preseason, all regular season.
Speaker 5: First questions like how many what percentage of games did
you play with?
Speaker 4: You thought about asking that lub on your hand. Yeah,
he's probably gonna say seventy seventy percent of games.
Speaker 3: Always had a club, even in college.
Speaker 5: He ever make sure they like left the hole for
his middle fingers so he could throw the bird or
number one.
Speaker 3: Hey, you number one, Bud.
Speaker 4: Yeah, when they had him into Keio' spikes for the
forty nine ers.
Speaker 3: That was fun.
Speaker 5: Offensive lineman when the defensive lineman have a club, because
they just use it as an absolute short.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I think my I think I got a sore thumb
this week and when you club me up.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we played against them, those two linebackers either on
a Sunday or a Monday night where they both had
the club. There's a picture out there. I'll get at
some point to pull it up.
Speaker 3: So they weren't a threat to intercept it or anything.
I think.
Speaker 5: Actually somebody in the NFL did make like a one
handed club interception one time.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: No, they weren't real worried about interception, Like they didn't
care about intercepting the football interceptions weren't like, No, they
just worried about terror.
Speaker 3: Terror. Yeah, that's what they did.
Speaker 4: So he's coming on our show to terrorize us. Yeah,
well we can talk trash case through the phone.
Speaker 3: That's true.
Speaker 4: The fake muscles, fake tough guy, don't do the tiger.
Speaker 3: Look at that. That's against us.
Speaker 4: In San Diego fifty two and fifty one both clubbed up.
Speaker 3: Look at like Yeah, they're terrifying. That's fun.
Speaker 2: Captain captain's patches on both of them.
Speaker 3: Fifty one and fifty two. Yeah, got the black.
Speaker 5: We did well, We did well. We did beat him
that day. But did you though how many how many
bruises did your brain? Did your brain have after this game? Uh?
Speaker 3: I added eleven to the tally.
Speaker 4: I think probably eleven.
Speaker 3: That is a great picture.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's such a Hey the guy behind Hardwick, you
see right there is number twenty two thinking. Uh we
went are on ISO again?
Speaker 3: Okay, genetically we are not the same or not we
played the same sport.
Speaker 4: Okay, cool, all right, the big bud, Let's go again
them Elandra, How you doing today?
Speaker 6: Doing well?
Speaker 7: It is finally Thursday the best week. It's better than
Friday because you're anticipating the Friday on Thursday.
Speaker 3: I agree, Yeah, I think Thursday is the best.
Speaker 5: Is It's kind of like Christmas. Eve is the best
is better than Christmas?
Speaker 7: Right, So I'm excited. We got a good slate of
college football coming up.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they've got games tomorrow, right. I think Florida State
UVA is tomorrow.
Speaker 6: I think it is.
Speaker 3: Let me see, so we're starting to.
Speaker 4: Have those days of the week where it's like, oh,
there's a college football game on, let me sit down
and watch.
Speaker 7: I We're lik in the thick of it now and
I'm here for it. It's a NonStop football all the time.
Speaker 3: This is great.
Speaker 4: Would you agree with this, Landra, This is like a
tier listing week as far as teams and if they're
in Tier one, Tier two, tier three, like, because we've
got like probably a handful of teams that are under
Tier one and we're waiting place them.
Speaker 7: I would say yes, because I think that this is
a lot of teams like first true challenge, Like, I
know we had Florida, but I mean, how how good
really is Florida? We thought we had too, we had too, Yeah,
so I think and also like all the other teams
around the SEC and around the country are getting into
like conference play and uh better teams that they're facing
off again. So yeah, I think that this weekend is
gonna show us a lot in terms of like which
team is actually good and which team is actually maybe
not as good as.
Speaker 6: We thought they were. But yeah, we got Florida, right posers,
but yeah we got Florida.
Speaker 7: State UVA, and then also TCU and Arizona State. Also
Houston and Oregon State play tomorrow as well.
Speaker 2: That's Arizona State game. That that's the one right there,
TCUs three.
Speaker 3: And you said that's today or tomorrow.
Speaker 6: That's tomorrow. Today's Army East Carolina.
Speaker 3: We got the Seahawks card today.
Speaker 4: In the NFL, I'm gonna be honest, the NFC West
does nothing for me.
Speaker 2: How we're both of those teams two and one. Well,
I mean.
Speaker 3: One two games and one was against the same fair enough.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you to your point on like l s
U and like playing Florida and Clebs like does in
the SEC?
Speaker 3: Can we look at it? Does the l s U
have to.
Speaker 5: Date the weakest strength of schedule, the live running strength
to schedule?
Speaker 3: But also and.
Speaker 6: We can look at it.
Speaker 4: You can tell me I'm wrong if you don't agree
with this, But like when you play a team like that,
that also matters, and like you played Clemson, Okay, well
you beating Clemson, what did that do to their season?
Speaker 3: Like what did that do to their mentality? Broke? When
you played Florida? Like, same situation.
Speaker 4: So I'm not saying that it's you know, still held
up there as a top five win Clemson's not remotely
the top five team in the country.
Speaker 3: But when you beat a team like you're adding two
then being broken.
Speaker 5: And for Florida, you can't take that victory versus Long
Island away, you can't take you really, yeah, back and
change history.
Speaker 4: Will Clemson beat Troy, I will say.
Speaker 2: I will say I'm good Troy again. Guys, Yeah, me too,
I'm good on that super I was explaining the.
Speaker 4: Two thousand and four was tough, two thousand and eight
was tough, and then we lost in twenty seventeen.
Speaker 2: So I was explaining that game to Marler the other
day because he was like, because somebody mentioned Troy, They're like, oh,
giant killers. She said, what's the deal there? I was like,
we lost in seventeen, and then I pulled up the
box score for two thousand and eight. I forgot that
Troy was up thirty one to three in the end.
Speaker 3: I was getting hammered at Snack and LS. She won.
What in the world our team? LS? Remember that I.
Speaker 2: Was losing thirty one to three to Troy came back
and won. I think it was forty one thirty four.
I just looked at this the other day, but yeah,
we were down thirty one three.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we had a receiver from Troy that year with
the same draft class as me. Shout out Gary Banks.
And we're sitting there and I'm just getting hammered by everybody,
Like y'all list de Troy thirty one to three.
Speaker 3: So I can't. I don't remember this game. I'm can
I assume we came back to win. Yeah, we did
forty victorious.
Speaker 2: Here you go.
Speaker 3: We scored thirty seven.
Speaker 2: Midway through the third quarter. Troy was up thirty one
to three in the third third quarter, came back. That's
a fireball offense for that head coach. Basically, I don't know.
I don't know what happened. Troy had punt punt, turnover
on down, interception punt. I mean, I let's shose the
defense stepped up.
Speaker 4: I guess who's the like big offensive star for LSU
then like that.
Speaker 2: That year would have been probably LaFell? Right, Yeah, look
here you go, twelve twenty six years LaFell and Charles Scott.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I know I knew the names. I'm like,
who had a big day that day? I'm assuming jay
Lee was playing.
Speaker 2: Jay Lee was a quarterback. He actually didn't have a
bad game.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, he scored forty unanswered and a half.
Speaker 2: But that was a year he had all the turnovers.
I was thinking, oh, he had a bunch of he
had one interception. He actually didn't play bad.
Speaker 3: Jay Lee. Uh, jay Lee was really talented man. He
kind of got.
Speaker 5: Uh unfortunately unfortunate turn of events. He wasn't name any names.
He shouldn't have been playing for that year. He wasn't
supposed to be there. And if he wouldn't have had
to play that year, I think he would have gone
on a heck of a run and I think we
would have won another nat If.
Speaker 3: He didn't have to play that year, we would have
won another Natty.
Speaker 4: He was an undrafted free agent with US in San
Diego and they really liked him.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I remember he was playing well in Preson. He was
just we had so many quarterbacks. He just he just
had he got thrown to the Wolves too early. M man,
what could have been? What could have been?
Speaker 3: Mm hmm. Shouldn't happen.
Speaker 5: I shouldn't happen, and the coach shouldn't let it happen,
so I can do the right things.
Speaker 2: You look at ELI get quarter by quarter unless you
outscored Troy thirty to nothing in the fourth quarter. Yeah,
that's how you won the game.
Speaker 3: You're down thirty one. All right, good for good for you, Troy.
Speaker 4: Hey, dig Dixon, Gauls, let us know what happened that game.
I'd love to get the breakdown.
Speaker 5: What were you doing quarters one through three and a half?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Did you have the under? And then you decided
we got to hit the over here.
Speaker 4: It feels like that's what it feels like. People are
asking dig Dixon, not that you would do that. You're
a good man, Nay, a great man.
Speaker 7: Just accusing this man and then you're like, no, you
wouldn't do that, You're a good man.
Speaker 3: He won a raateen. I'm not gonna act like he
would do that.
Speaker 2: I hate to keep going back to it. With their
quarterback through seventy two passes.
Speaker 4: And seventy two fast who was their quarterback?
Speaker 2: Levi Brown?
Speaker 3: Right, wasn't something that name sounds familiar? He was thirty
four of seventy two. Oh is that a record? Oh?
I don't think Graham Harroll even sniffed that at Texas
tax seventy two? My god, all right, that's good.
Speaker 5: What a what a dropped memory lane. That's not even
a flashback for me. That's the first time I've ever
heard it. Did you just like not watch LSU when
you were playing.
Speaker 3: I didn't watch a lot of college football when I
was playing, didn't like dive in and I would watch it.
Speaker 5: I mean, we had We were in the team facility
a lot, like for a majority of Saturday.
Speaker 3: I was football too.
Speaker 4: We were West Coast, so we were practicing early, and
like when we finished up is right.
Speaker 3: When like the noon games were Eastern Time or STUF.
Speaker 5: So we were probably most of our Saturday routine we
were in the facility, like at seven thirty eight, we
were there to probably noon, yeah, and then we were
at the hotel at like four four or.
Speaker 3: Five something like that.
Speaker 5: So I mean I wasn't racing home to again like
when I was playing in the league. Like, I just
didn't watch a lot of college football. I cheered for real.
Thisishue obviously doesn't.
Speaker 3: Sound like it.

dreaming and cartoons and such. Sure, but like I used
to think, the song is about the Dallas Cowboys and
they used to make me max who would want to
play for them?
Speaker 3: Swear to God?
Speaker 2: Fair point.
Speaker 3: I thought this was about the Dallas Cowbys. I was
like six.
Speaker 2: Jerry would have been in it. Who was? Actually that's required?
Speaker 5: It is kind of It is wild to me that
people from Shreetport wouldn't be Cowboys fans.
Speaker 3: There's something for sure.
Speaker 4: Yeah, But for me, regardless of how many jokes y'all
want to pop off, I'm from Louisiana, and Louisiana I
was going to be a Saints fan. So don't matter
which part of the state you're from. If you're from Louisiana,
I always felt like you should be a Saints fan first.
Speaker 3: Okay, I I never.
Speaker 4: I never understood anybody being a fan of anybody else.
Speaker 3: You're from Louisiana.
Speaker 4: It's like, you know, my got Bunkie Perkins and I
got Ben mince Good. Guys love to chop it up
with bunk He's from Shreveport. He went to Old Miss
So you've betrayed Louisiana.
Speaker 3: So you're they're dead to you this week? This week
for sure. Well, I'm from Texas. I went to l
s U. Yeah, but that's different because you had like
Texas is not. Like so you're saying I'm a trader,
but I'm your trader.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 4: So for Louisiana, like it's l s U, it's the Saints.
Like for you, you got Baylor, you got A and
m Autis, we got Tech, you got Texas. You know
Steve Austin, you got eight and four, so like you
got a lot. So it's not like one thing. He
could be a team. You can be a Cowboys fan,
Boilers for you.
Speaker 3: What's the commerce one?
Speaker 6: That's what it was.
Speaker 3: That was what it was.
Speaker 6: It used to be TEXTA, A and M Commerce.
Speaker 4: And the Saints were my team until I got drafted
in the Chargers gave me a couple of dollars I've
never had before.
Speaker 3: And we're back. Changed my life and we're back now.
We're back in. For Spencer Ratler in St. Saints money
line this week, didn't say that it's hard to make
that money.
Speaker 6: I take it.
Speaker 5: I just wanted I want you to know I was
watching I was watching ESPN yesterday the National Show. Somebody
had it as their lock of the week, taking the
Saints plus sixteen and a half.
Speaker 3: Who I don't remember. I wasn't that locked.
Speaker 2: In Oh yeah, my lock of the week. I'm taking
the Bills minus sixteen and a half.
Speaker 3: Uh, how do our NFL plays? Dude?
Speaker 6: It was didn't we miss one.
Speaker 3: Or we missed one in college?
Speaker 4: I think we're two and two in NFL because I
think you and I went to and oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Flynn went one in one and Tay.
Speaker 6: Was I went to, I don't want to acknowledge it,
but I am, okay, you have to.
Speaker 3: Now you have to kind of on.
Speaker 6: A heater.
Speaker 3: Hat big time.
Speaker 2: Uh You're You're Houston Texans and Taylor's on the opposite.
You got to get their first win this week, right,
Who are they playing? Titans? They better get their first win.
Do you think if they get their first win?
Speaker 3: Do you think J. Stroud is going to a big
brother cam Ord? He he did it.
Speaker 7: To kill in the graphic the other day where it
was like since that moment or.
Speaker 3: Somebody somebody did it in the group.
Speaker 7: I don't remember, yeah, and it was like since that moment, yeah, Cayle.
Speaker 4: Actually, Anthony Richardson has better stats than c J.
Speaker 3: Stroud.
Speaker 5: So here's a handful of game. Like I like CJ two.
I think he said moments, but right now not playing
really good. If it was today, you think the Texans
are re signing him to.
Speaker 3: A long term time.
Speaker 4: Landra, give us those stats real quick before we make
up our mine on resigning him.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so since the moment that CJ.
Speaker 7: Stroud, if we don't remember, he little browed Caleb Williams.
Speaker 6: I don't think he meant to, but it came off
that way. He was like, you got this, bro.
Speaker 1: C J.
Speaker 7: Stroud has three thousand, eight hundred and thirty two yards,
nineteen touchdowns and fifteen interceptions. Caleb Williams has three thousand,
nine hundred and eighty nine yards, twenty seven touchdowns and
only five interceptions.
Speaker 4: Really, since that moment, CJ's playing bad bad. Anthony Richardson
has better stats than him, Like in last one.
Speaker 5: Those pretty good stats he just gave her. Caleb Williams,
who has gets poop pooed on a.
Speaker 2: Lot, geoo on a lot. Did you have completion?
Speaker 3: He also like, no, takes a lot of sacks and
other things.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I promaise you go good completion percentage. It's probably, oh,
I don't know, since that moment, but yeah, yeah, it's
not as great as you think. He didn't take the
ball over a lot right.
Speaker 3: Five in I mean, what was it twenty seven to five?
Twenty seven touchdowns.
Speaker 6: Of five and that's pretty verses nineteen to fifteen.
Speaker 2: But to answer your question, no, absolutely not. You can't.
Did you have a good defense again? You gave up
twenty to the Bucks two weeks ago. Yep, you've given
up twenty seventeen and fourteen, I think, and you're in three.
You can't resign him to a long term deal.
Speaker 3: And twelve months ago it was a foregone conclusion.
Speaker 2: Twelve months ago people were saying he was a top ten.
Speaker 5: Quarter four gone conclusion. It was guaranteed that he was.
All right, you're gonna make fifty to fifty.
Speaker 3: Five a year. Yeah, it's not overreacts three games. Yeah,
Well last year.
Speaker 6: Wasn't I wasn't say was it last year? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Last year?
Speaker 2: Last year was last year was worse than year one?
This year's worst.
Speaker 3: DJ. We got some nice cards of yours.
Speaker 2: Come on, look, Matt, they've scored nine nineteen Texans.
Speaker 3: H'm nineteen and ten.
Speaker 2: Let's a three game total. M Yeah, like that's really good.
Only one way to go, buddy, Yeah, true to the moon. Old.
Speaker 5: A lot of people had him as a little as
kind of a dark dark horse super Bowl contender this year.
This year, Yeah, and I say a lot. I heard
like two people talking about.
Speaker 4: It was your son, Huck, one of them Hucks and
loves the Texas.
Speaker 3: I'm hoping they turn it around for his sake.
Speaker 5: I can't see that disappointment in his eyes when the
Texans only score seven points a game. I don't think
he really cares as long as Derek Singley gets a pick,
to be honest, Big Derek Singley, guy who does have
a quarterback. Oh god, bush League Bolts, Baby, bush League Bolts.
I did not want to direct this combo to the chart. Yeah,
you're gonna be insufferable this year.
Speaker 4: Yep, all the times you hate it on me. We've
been doing this together for eight years and all those
jokes you popped off just been snatching them from banks.
Snatching them can't erase history, buddy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you can move forward to the future. You
can move forward to the future. And we didn't lose
to the Browns.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not a good look, not yet.
Speaker 3: I don't know if they played them.
Speaker 2: I mean, keep them above water.
Speaker 3: They got a pretty good defense and.
Speaker 4: Grand del but's playing out of his mind. By the way,
somebody we don't talk enough about former Tiger.
Speaker 3: Gift him at pick like gifted them. I wasn't even
really talking about the interception.
Speaker 4: I'm talking about just coming down here on the run game,
playing good cover bridge.
Speaker 3: But if you're gonna give me a free one, I'll
take it.
Speaker 2: Blacker actually won that.
Speaker 3: Great, come on, it's great. Great, I didn't score until
the fourth quarter.
Speaker 2: Well, okay, listen, one hundred and forty two yards and
no touchdowns at a pick like.
Speaker 5: Well, how does his stats against that Packer defense compared
to like Jared goffstats against the Packers right is completely elite?
I would say probably top defense in the in the
league right now.
Speaker 2: It might be the Browns.
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, very good. Mhm, that's a Reggless uniform.
I think I've ever seen which.
Speaker 2: One is the Browns. They're also black. That's not brown.
When those are dark.
Speaker 3: Dark, that's a fact. Black is not brown.
Speaker 2: No, I'm saying like they're beautiful. It's like they were
not brown.
Speaker 4: They're bad and you lost to a team and those
uniforms with Joe Flecco as their quarterback.
Speaker 3: And on that note, we'll take a break or OTV.
Speaker 4: When do we come back off the bench? All right,
go to trash rangers dot com. Once you go to
the website, remember you can sign up for residential commercial
service right there at the bottom of the website. You
can also check out information on those rolloff dumpsters. The
brand new websites got great tabs for everything that we're
talking about. Also, Flinn's gonna tell you about the sanitation

Speaker 6: I know it all will be perfect, but I.
Speaker 3: Can't he ever wonder what it might be if I
had you and get change.
Speaker 4: All right, Welcome back in Oh t b on this
Thursday morning.
Speaker 3: I'll say it.
Speaker 4: Probably my favorite country song, like nineties country.
Speaker 2: Sir, bubble shout that you bought.
Speaker 4: Like a question you will definitely hear quick, you will
definitely you'll you'll hear both of them today. Remember, like, oh,
I don't know, that's a tough question.
Speaker 3: I'll get back to.
Speaker 5: You back in college, maybe like into high school, but
definitely in college where it's super cool to download an
MP three as your ring tone. Oh yeah, oh yeah,
I wish that was still a trend. But what song
did you have?
Speaker 3: Probably some justin Timberlake. Actually, if I'm being honest with myself.
Speaker 5: You had to you had to go jump to a
few hoops and sometimes you had to pay like ninety
cents or nine cents or whatever.
Speaker 3: Time. Yeah, I had a Nickelback song. Hell yeah that tracks?
Mm hm which one?
Speaker 5: Uh what is it?
Speaker 3: Sounds like you really like star Yeah yeah, rock Yeah, Yeah,
it was that one. I thought it was funny. Hmmm.
All right, TA gonna throw it to you.
Speaker 4: We now know who the starting quarterback for the Old
Miss Rebels is going to be. After having a long
discussion about a two quarterback situation and which one else she.
Speaker 3: Was going to prepare for.
Speaker 4: We don't have to worry about that at least at
the beginning of the game.
Speaker 2: Shocker of the Century, guys, it's going to be Trinidad shambless. Look,
we were playing interviews on Tuesday, and I don't remember
if it was Patrick Payton or mansword, but I asked
about the two quarterback system. He goes, well, I mean
the guy we're pretty sure starting like he's he's the
runner and everything. They've been preparing for this guy all
week long. Like I kind of feel like we all
saw this coming.
Speaker 4: Ready, This is the right move by Old Miss. It
is like Simmons hasn't been bad, but he certainly hasn't
been great. He already had four interceptions on the season
when we saw him coming a couple of games ago.
They threw a pass, but he could barely walk out there.
I mean, he was spat at as heavy as you
possibly could be. The last thing that you would want
is your quarterback is a sitting duck against this LSU defense,
it makes all the sense in the world. And Chambers
has been playing great as well, like you know, relative
to who the opponent has been, He's taken advantage of
what they've given him. Arkansas defense isn't great. Haven't done
a deep dive into two lanes defense really to be
able to tell how good they are. Ye, But to
his credit, he's come in and he's made a ton
of plays. He's made him with his arm, he's made
him with his legs. And I would want somebody that
could create on their own if I'm having to go
against this LSU defense.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I'm watching. I'm watching him play, and a
great name.
Speaker 5: By the way, he doesn't do a lot of creating
in the passing game, so I haven't seen him drop
back to throw and create that way. What they're doing
is they are purposefully running him on a lot of
quarterback quarterback sweeps, a lot of read options, a lot
of jet sweep like jet sweep read option. So most
of the yard that he's getting with his legs is
on purpose. There's not a whole lot of creating he's
doing with his legs. Now, let me tell you, there's
a lot of big cat He's had a lot of
yards and he's doing there's a big caveat for me
watching this kid play. Yes, he is fast, Yes he
is dangerous. You have to be disciplined on defense or
he can gash you. Yeah, but if you are disciplined,
this guy cannot beat you. He's playing well. But Arkansas's
defense is bad, bad, like bad bad. I don't know
what their stats is. I've watched this game Ole Miss
versus Arkansas. They are not a good defensive football team.
Speaker 4: And he when you say two bads, it's like when
we say fast fast.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're bad. Like people run a wide open all
over the place. They can't cover one on one. And
so what Lane Kivin did in this game was he
he barely threw the.
Speaker 3: Ball in the first half.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think I think the kid ends up with
over three of ours passing, But they barely threw the
ball in the first half.
Speaker 3: And so what does that make you do?
Speaker 5: It makes you load the box, create one on one matchups,
and they took advantage of that because they just couldn't
cover right.
Speaker 3: But I don't.
Speaker 5: See a lot of dynamic plays that he's making with
his feet in the passing game. From a passing standpoint, yes,
he's he's he's made some reads and but Lane Kiven
has called some really good set up, some really good plays,
and they've taken advantage of it.
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna say he's the greatest passer in the world.
Speaker 5: Even a lot of the passes he hits, a lot
of its back shoulder, a lot of it's underthrown. But
they're just so wide open. Like there's some plays out there.
But if LSU plays the defense disciplined, if they stay
in their gaps and don't allow them to kind of
trick you. From a zone read standpoint, that you don't
allow them to get that extra blocker in there on
a quarterback sweep. If you knock that out, you knock
that option out. This kid cannot be you.
Speaker 4: Arkansas is twelfth in the SEC and passing yards per game.
They are fourteenth in total yards per game, and they're
fourteenth in total points per game giving up and they
are fifteenth in rushing yards per game, giving up to
your point about Old Missus offensive success against Arkansas. Now
Ole Missus success does lead to that obviously, Yeah, that helps.
But Ole Miss though is dead last in the SEC
and rushing yards giving up per game Right now, they
are in last place in the SEC. By thirty three yards,
Arkansas gives up one fifty seven and a half on
the ground per game at fifteenth, Ole miss gives up
one hundred and ninety and a half yards per game
on the ground.
Speaker 3: Now we all know.
Speaker 4: LSU at times has struggled to run the football. Can
they take advantage of that? You're gonna be like Cade
Durham sounds like he's a game time decision. I don't
really know where his health is. It's an ankle on
a running back. I don't have any inside information, but
it feels like it's going to be I don't want
to say a long shot, but it would be maybe
a surprise if he is able to go. Can you
take advantage of them being the worst rushing defense in
the SEC by thirty three yards?
Speaker 3: All right? Forty three yards? I keep saying thirty three
So is that the average? No? Thirty three yeah, the
average yard is given up in a game one hundred
and ninety and a half. Yeah, okay, well yeah you better.
Speaker 5: I mean, you have to get if you want to
get where you want to go this year as an
LSU football team, you have to get the running game right.
Speaker 3: There's just there.
Speaker 5: There's no other way around it, Like there's no other
clear way to state it. If you want to win
a national championship, you have to have a running game.
So if you're not gonna have a running game versus
statistically the worst running defense in the SEC, how do
you think you're gonna fare against not the worst running defense.
So you have to get it going. And it does
hurt that you're starting. You're starting running back is probably
going to be out, But you got guys.
Speaker 4: Even if he's even if he's not out, he's still
gonna be limited.
Speaker 3: You think.
Speaker 5: Nothing is ever perfect in the beginning of a season.
You're start, you're figuring out who you are. You have
a good idea preseason, you have a good idea leading
up to the season start, but there's always things to
work on that nothing is going to be perfect, and
things you think are perfect sometimes at the beginning of
the year. Really aren't. You just made a couple of
plays and it just it really wasn't. Shut up, you
got lucky a couple of times. There's things you have
to get better on, and there's things you will get
better on. There's things you must get better on if
you want to accomplish the goals that you have set
for your team. The running game must be fixed if
you want to win a national championship. And that's the
goal right now, that is the goal. The goal is
not to be a great team. The goal is not
to be a good team, have a successful year and
have a winning record, and I only have two losses
on the year. The goal is to win a national championship.
They set it themselves before the season started. That is
the goal. They are not apologized for that goal, and
they shouldn't. But if you want to do it, you
better figure it out, and you better figure it out quickly,
cause the schedule is a ramping up right now. And
we know LSU's talented, we know they're good. But to
our point earlier in the show, with the record that
the opponents that you've eaten have to date, we really
don't know how good this team is. We think they're
really good. We think they have the potential to win
that national championship. Well, now it's time to prove it.
Speaker 4: Now there's some chat going on in our yue four chat,
and this team is different from the less Miles teams
that had incredible defenses, and you just hope the offense
can make a play like kind of what we're talking
about here. This is just an offense that has made
some plays. They can certainly make more. They certainly have
not hit their stride yet. But it is a different
feeling than when you would watch those teams under last
They were gonna play smothering defense, but it looked like
it was either illegal or very painful to throw a
forward pass, Like this isn't that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, this isn't that at all. I mean,
this is an offense that has maybe not this year's
but the same players last year have proven to be
explosive and to be able to make those plays. And
you know, those talent oozing everywhere so and coaches with
the mindset of throwing it. So how much did the
you know, we don't even talk about the torset thing,
but how much did that play a role? Well it
doesn't matter, but again things at the beginning of the year.
There's always stuff to work on to get better, to fix,
and you always improve, so it's time to start hitting
that stride. But that running game has to improve. And
what a good week it would be against the Old
Miss Rebels.
Speaker 4: If you're wondering where LSU ranks as far as giving
up yards on the ground, they're third in the SEC,
sixty four yards on the ground per game, points per
game l She's also third in the SEC, only behind
Texas at seven point eight Oklahoma at nine, and you're
giving up nine point three yards per game. As far
as passing yards, I believe last time I checked, you
were seventh in the SEC, and you're giving up only
one hundred and eighty two yards through the air, but
certainly being very stingy on the ground total yards. You
were fourth in the SEC, only giving up two hundred
and forty six point three total yards per game.
Speaker 3: So LA shoot defense certainly has been dominant.
Speaker 4: Certainly, it's been incredibly dominant when it comes to stopping
the rushing attack, and that's what Ole Miss wants to
do first and foremost, and so we'll see which one
of those is going to win out in Oxford.
Speaker 3: All right, we will take a break.
Speaker 4: Just a reminder, we do have Patrick Willis joining us,
former Ole Miss linebacker National Football League Hall of Famer.

Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 4: Theing bad part is that I kind of just want
to like let it ride like a radio station, like
we're turning into the tiger over here.
Speaker 3: I guess we didn't need to talk sports here.
Speaker 5: Sure, I actually have been looking at the film so
when we come back next hour, I want to get
into some film watching.
Speaker 3: How's that sound? I am down for that.
Speaker 4: And You've pointed out a couple of things for Old
Miss and their defense that are highly intriguing to me.
So I'm looking forward to seeing what this offensive performance
for Lshue is.
Speaker 3: How do they attack this Old Miss defense?
Speaker 4: Because the chess match that everybody's watching is on the
other side. I understand that me too. Blake Baker versus
Lane Kiffin. But in a game like that where you
know both of those those sides of the football, respectively,
are going to make their plays. Oftentimes it's the undercard
Old Missus defense versus lshu's offense that could be the
deciding factor in the game.
Speaker 5: And it is time for the LSU offense to pick
up where it left off last year. It's time for
them to hit their stride, be explosive, get their running
game going. Because Old Missus defense where they're you know,
they're they're pretty good, they can make some plays. They
got a little talent here and there. They're not as
close to being as talented as LSU's offense. So LSU,
if they take their if they can hit their stride,
which they need to, it needs to start becoming an
offensive show a little bit.
Speaker 3: This is a good week to do it, because I don't.
Speaker 5: Think that Old Missus defense has the talent or the
skill set to keep up with LSU's offense or compete
with them. If we can execute in the running game
and the passing game.
Speaker 3: All right, watching a little tape when we come back
here on.
