Speaker 1: All Star Toyota presents Off the Bench with Jacob Hester
and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 2: Okay, here we go where.
Speaker 1: The plays get broken down and science gets denied to
come off the bench.
Speaker 2: Hour two of Off the.
Speaker 1: Bench Live from the Raisin Kine Studio.
Speaker 3: All right, and welcome back in It is o t
B here live from Pro Dreams and Ben Rouge.
Speaker 2: Pro Dash Dreams dot Com is the website you'll come
to see us.
Speaker 4: This place is awesome right here in the Shadows Tiger Stadium.
Also go to web so I can go buy anything
anything you want. Also, if you have an event and
you want to do like a silent auction type situation,
that's kind of what they specialize in.
Speaker 2: Trey in the Gang. They'll bring all this stuff.
Speaker 4: They'll bring autographed helmets, jerseys, they'll do not even not
just sports stuff, just regular entertainment stuff, stuff from movies,
from musicians, all this cool stuff that you can have
like spice up like a charity event something like that
with a nice silent auction and they will come in
and they will actually give part of the proceeds back
to whatever charity you're raising money for. So a really good,
really good deal they make it really easy. That's the thing.
You just call and they do all the work. They come,
set it up and there's really no skin off your
back and adds a little spice to your event. Sorry
you keep talking, I'm watching Heisman Jayden right now we're back, Yeah,
we're back to having a good offense. Yeah, well a
good player, an elite player. Let's just say that that
could have been caught holding. Yeah, it probably should have been.
But m there's multiple elite players. Yes, but lets you
know what they say though. It's kind of like a picture.
Like if you're a good pitcher and you're consistent, you
usually get the benefit of the doubt. You get a
lot more strikes called than if you're a bad picture
and less accurate. So when you're a good offense, you
get away with a few more holding calls. So I
just saw Jaden Scramble right there, definitely holding. Milik Neighbors
just dropped to pass sure.
Speaker 2: It's okay.
Speaker 4: I think he makes a couple more casts, a couple more,
a couple more catches.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 4: It's a lot of action in the the chat.
Speaker 2: Here on YouTube.
Speaker 4: If you're if you're at your office, you're sitting around,
if you're not driving.
Speaker 2: Check us out on YouTube.
Speaker 4: There's a lot of action based on this whole football
weather discussion we were having. I don't think anybody came
to any agreeance, but I basically told the chat that
if you're arguing that I'm wrong, then you're definitely wrong,
and that's a true fact.
Speaker 2: You can't argue with that. Fair.
Speaker 3: It's not that I don't, you know, enjoy a nice
fall day, but it's just like our fall doesn't get
started until like basically right now, where it started a
lot earlier for other people.
Speaker 2: So when I think of.
Speaker 4: My favorite football memories, when showing you that they're all
in the heat, your favorite ones are the ones that
you look back on it you're like, yeah, that made
me the person I am today. Glad I went through that. Yeah,
but it wasn't your favorite, Like you didn't love it.
I mean it's all really, you know, Florida game, all
run game, Virginia Tech game.
Speaker 2: Yep, all hot. I hate the heat. I hate the heat.
That's why you started hydration hydration company. I hate it.
Speaker 4: I don't do yard work when it gets starts getting hot,
I don't do it. Like this is prime yardwork season
for me, I don't go outside.
Speaker 2: I run to my car.
Speaker 4: I hate it, all right, Sure you know I chose
to be in it for a long time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I still chose you from tech. Yep. Yeah, it's
soft up there in Green Bay. M but but oh,
let me, let me.
Speaker 4: I will give people credit though, just like we say,
people out west don't really know what true heat is,
even though it's like in Vegas it's one hundred and five,
it's hot, blah blah blah. But like when you throw
in the humidity of South Louisiana, like that's when you
start getting like true heat, Like that gives us a
little bit more grit than those people out west.
Speaker 2: When it comes to heat.
Speaker 4: The same thing can be said for cold weather now,
like yeah, thirty degrees here is different than thirty thirty
degrees in Green Bay because it's not as humid there. Okay,
here we go, all right, right, So I will say
it does. Yeah, it's science feels like we got that
whole feels like weather situation and happening. So I will say,
like it's true, like it hits a little harder. Maybe
maybe it's just a mental thing. I don't know, but
I do feel like the humid air also, so it
makes a big difference in the cold weather. I'm not
a weather person meteorologist, a meteorologist. I dabble, but you
know I'm not trained. Well, I don't think we need
you to dabble. Well, they use to the slippery slope. Well,
I got that weather app. So that's how I dabble.
You probably just gotta like the stock weather app too,
the one that comes with the iPhone. Basically, No, I
got the upgrade to the Weather Channel app. I don't
think I really like it though. I don't think I
really like it because sometimes it'll be raining and I
will see the rain and I'll feel the rain on
my person and I'll look at the radar and there's
no clouds there. Yeah, so I don't think it's always accurate.
All right, there you go. That's your uh's your weather report.
It's your weather report from OTB pretty much.
Speaker 2: What it's going to be. Yep, ain't no guess. All right.
Speaker 4: I want to remind you about a friends over at
Gordon McKernon Injury Attorneys.
Speaker 2: Get Gordon and get it done.
Speaker 4: Your area code in Louisiana Fall eight eight eight eighty
eight eighty eight.
Speaker 3: Always online at gid Gordon as well. See what they're
doing on social media. It's always going to be the
handle there. Gid gordon dot com is going to be
the website again throughout the state of Louisiana. They can
help you with whatever issue you've got going on your
area code, followed by eight eight eight eighty eight eighty
eight gid Gordon and get it done all right. Something
we haven't looked at yet here is the college football
playoff rankings, and one through ten goes like this, no
change in the top five Ohio State, Indiana, A and M, Alabama, Georgia.
Then you've got Texas Tech moving up two spots to six,
Ole Miss going down to seven, Oregon coming up to eight,
Notre Dame, Matt's favorite team coming up to number nine
in Texas rounding out the top ten. So that's what
it looks like one through ten. An you's surprised that
maybe A and M didn't jump.
Speaker 2: Indiana, No, I don't think so.
Speaker 4: I mean, if you especially those top couple right now,
I know it didn't look great.
Speaker 2: You won the game, you found a way, it went on.
Speaker 4: The road, a big game, and you could tell us
more in that team's ever won in Beaver Stadium. Yeah,
that's a pretty big deal. So no, I'm not surprised.
I mean you could also tell a BYuT watching the game.
Penn State was an inspired football team for whatever reason, whatever,
lightning struck perfectly for them and whatever.
Speaker 2: You know, it's a great comeback. It wasn't.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it really was a great comeback, great last drive
and incredible, Like you know, you win from probably the
catch of the year in college football, especially with the
moment and how everything played out there. But but for
whatever reason, they you you fired your coach multiple weeks ago,
You've laid a bunch of stinkers, and for whatever reason,
you come out that one game Penn State and play awesome,
played great, play inspired, Your fan base was inspired. I
mean it looked like a sold out crowd and that's
a lot of people in that stadium too, So anyway,
they came out played inspired. So yeah, I don't I
don't see that I'm surprised or shocked. Now's pretty damn good. Yeah,
I hate to say that, And we'll see, we will
see what ends up happening. Butt sec holding what the
third three.
Speaker 2: Four five some three four or five seven ten.
Speaker 4: Seven, ten, pretty good, pretty good, pretty good, and the
Oklahoma's at eleven.
Speaker 2: So yeah, Oklahoma's eleven. They're fools gold.
Speaker 4: So basically, you don't get them any shot against Alabama
this weekend on the road.
Speaker 2: Oklahoma's on the road.
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, Alabama would better figure out how to run
the football. Look like, I'm not saying that Alabama is
the end all be all they're gonna win it all,
but they're good and they're solid everywhere except for running
really running the football.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 4: I do think Oklahoma's a little bit of fools gold myself.
Speaker 2: That's just my opinion watching it. If Matier doesn't get
hurt where they have been that.
Speaker 4: Way, yeah, you think regardless, you's at this point, all right,
there'd be eleven.
Speaker 2: Still, you don't think so, I don't. I don't know.
He was going at such a high pace, was he,
I mean he was, Yeah, I don't like, I don't.
I don't remember him ever, he was the leader in
the Heisman conversation.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's from a lot of the pre that well,
that was those a couple of things.
Speaker 2: That was a lot of the.
Speaker 4: Preseason hype of him and the curiosity them winning curious cat,
curious like a cat. And then all of the other
preseason Heisman hopeful was laying stinkers the first couple of weeks.
Everybody that was talked about in the Heisman before the
season is out of the Heisman race.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Fair.
Speaker 4: So it was the fact like, Okay, everybody else stinks,
but this other guy that we were really curious about
is there is playing pretty good in their winning but
I don't remember off the top of my head unless
they were playing like terrible teams like his stats, like
him taking over and dominating the game.
Speaker 2: And that's that's kind.
Speaker 4: Of the theme this year, right for the Heisman race,
like it's going to be a tricky vote for you. Uh,
it's gonna be a tricky vote for everybody. There's you
can't look at this year and say, man, there is
a dominant dude out there that's gonna win the Heisman,
Like it's gonna be one of those like if any of.
Speaker 2: A lot of shared votes, I don't, yeah, a lot
of shared votes.
Speaker 4: I don't think anybody that's going to be in New
York this year would have been in New York. You know,
the past couple of years with the same type season, right,
It's just that you don't have that guy, that dominant
person where it's a no brainer, this guy's definitely going.
Speaker 2: To be up there. Yeah. So I've told you this before.
Speaker 3: Like my my process of my heisman, I have a
notebook and I have a power ranking one through ten,
and I try to do it every single week, and
I try to go, you know, all right, every week,
let's kind of hit reset and let's see where we're
at right now.
Speaker 2: And a lot of times.
Speaker 3: Well this is the third or fourth year, a lot
of times like there's not a lot of movement from
week one to where we finish up. There's some, for sure,
but like this week, ton of movement this year, I
should say this, like just a ton, because there's been
guys that have laid their way in, play their way out, Guys.
Speaker 4: That we thought were gonna be there playing their way out. Yes,
for more out than in Cade club. Nick done, You're fired,
Norse Sellers fired, not Smyer fired?
Speaker 2: Who else? DJ Lagway DJ a cat from what Penn State?
Speaker 4: Drew Aller yeah injured right, yeah, well he was he
was out too, yeah yeah, yeah, everybody fired. All the
first round picks for sure, oh, arch arc was gonna
win to a lot of people. He was also gonna
be the first round, first overall pick. I think this
year he's gonna come out early. I don't think he
should come out early.
Speaker 2: You don't think so.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but for whatever reason, they're ten in the country, she.
Speaker 2: Should probably come back. H yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean none of the none of the time, guys.
I'm sitting here looking at the stats. I mean, gosh,
none of the guys in the preseason, I mean, have
we ever seen this before? And it wasn't like fluky
like we think, like, okay, kay Clubnick's forty third in
passing yards, arch Manning's forty six and passing yards. And
it's wild though, because like, none of these guys besides Arc,
none of them were fluky, like I think this guy's
gonna be pretty good. These are all guys that had
done it. Yeah, every single one of them.
Speaker 2: All guys.
Speaker 4: We were like, man, the SEC is so healthy at quarterback.
This year we got the best quarterback because they had
done it. Yeah, and the best guy's ty Sempson except
arch Maning.
Speaker 2: The best guy. We didn't even know who's he was
going to be the quarterback.
Speaker 4: So the best quarterback as far as like yards Joey
Aguilar from Tennessee, it was for UCLA and May.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's true.
Speaker 4: And of course, like Diego Pabia might be the only
one that had preseason hype that's actually lived up to it. Yeah,
nobody else has really lived up to it because, like
you said, like we didn't even know if ty Simpson
was going to be a starting quarterback, right, mm hmm?
Is he and ty SIPs would probably be the Is
he going to be the only trying to think sec
guy in New York? Papias still has an outside chance, Yeah,
to get there.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 4: He's completing seventy percent of his passes, twenty four hundred yards,
twenty one touchdowns, five interceptions, and then you add in
the rushing yard. Yes, the problem is his Heisman moment
kind of came against the four loss LSU team.
Speaker 2: It still is not I mean, he still has other opportunities.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he does, because they only have two losses, so
they're still technically they are in it, and and they
have like on their schedule, they still have some some
moments and you like you went out and you're you know,
you're a ten and two team in the sec. How
do you keep him on the playoffs? So they got
what can you know? They got Kentucky left on their schedule?
Speaker 2: What are they ranks right now on the playoffs? Fourteen fourteen?
Speaker 4: So they have on their schedule they've got Kentucky and Tennessee.
Speaker 2: Kentucky at home. I'd love to see Papa get up there.
Speaker 3: So have a bye week. Kentucky at home at Tennessee.
They very easily could win those two games. It'd be
ten and two, right, and then.
Speaker 4: The college football playoffs, So diego.
Speaker 2: Pabi is not out of this equation either.
Speaker 4: So my thing for the Heisman, like if you're gonna
win the Heisman, to me, like especially this day and age,
like to me, it's like the Heisman winner should be
must watch TV. Like if he's on television, I got
to tune in because I got to watch this guy
because he's going to probably do something that's incredible. It's
gonna make my jaw drop. And you just don't really
have that this year, like Pavia, it might be, you know,
the closest thing I know, Marcell's kind of doing the
thing and A and M. But like unless you're a quarterback,
an ex quarterback or like you just love watching good
solid quarterback play like I do. Like I like watching
Tyz Simpson because he does some things from a quarterback
perspective mechanically, and he does some stuff that you coach
that is incredible. Right for Nana Mendoza, I love watching him.
His mechanics are great. He's got great arm talent, he
spends the ball really well, spin rate, his his elbow's great,
all these different things that I like to watch.
Speaker 2: But I've always said it a great elbow.
Speaker 4: But it's not like exciting like must watch television. Right
that catch at the end of the Indiana game was
but that you don't have that you don't have anybody
in college football. I don't think right now that is
just that traditional like must watch TV, make your jall drop.
Everybody's tuning in just to watch one dude. I mean,
like Diego Pavia was at must watched last week.
Speaker 2: I didn't watch it.
Speaker 4: Diego Paba last week against a good Auburn defense.
Speaker 2: I get it.
Speaker 4: Twenty five of thirty three, three hundred and seventy seven
yards through the air, eleven point four per attempt, three
touchdowns and no interceptions on the ground. Diego Pavia eighteen
carries one hundred and twelve yards six point two yards
per carry and another on the ground.
Speaker 2: I said he was the closest thing to it.
Speaker 4: That's pretty much watch though, and he's probably gonna say
something that's going to get him fined by the FCC
as well after he scores. Right, but it's not must
watch because he doesn't do that every week. I mean,
I don't like I'm talking at generalities here. It was awesome,
Like I'm not. I think he's the closest to it.
But it's just you gotta admit though, it feels a
little different this year.
Speaker 2: It's certainly not. It's certainly not what we thought it
was going to be.
Speaker 4: To your point, right, we thought there was gonna be
like eight sec quarterbacks that we're going to be fighting
it out for.
Speaker 2: The dice for sure.
Speaker 4: Now we're trying I think right now, we're trying to
find a winner instead of the winner just presenting itself.
That's fair, that's fair. Nobody is separating or said brought
up Jeremiah Love. Yeah, Jeremy Love's gonna be He's He's
in my top ten power rankings for sure. As I
try to figure out who in the world I'm going
to vote for? Yeah, he is. He's taking over games. Yep,
for sure, he got it. He's got who He's got
a challenge this week that pit defense. It was pretty salty. Yeah,
And I think that's probably a good way to explain
like the whole season as in general, the Heisman thing
is like we're trying to find somebody to win it.
Voters are trying to figure out who they're going to vote,
find somebody to vote and make a case for somebody,
right instead of somebody just playing their own case. We're
watching Jayden Daniels in his Heisman season here at Pro
Dreams watching the Arkansas game.
Speaker 3: Jayden found you. You didn't have to go find him.

were flying the mallards were flying. We actually went where
they dying though, actually just flying. So they're you know,
they're very you know they've been. The Elms has been
in Stuttgart a long time ago. I know a lot
of people shout out Trey and Brett, famous Hulls brothers,
you know, famous uh Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has a

actually did Yeah, Okay, it's actually teammates with Jimmy Johnson.
Speaker 3: I forgot you do know random Texas Rangers slash Dallas
Cowboy facts.
Speaker 4: Yes, it's like the one thing you came into this
job knowing in the sports world. Now, don't ask been
the name of three people on the twenty twenty one
LSU football team.
Speaker 2: We were watching the twenty twenty two game and I'll.
Speaker 4: Say names and you go, yep, yeah, totally for sure
he played the football.
Speaker 2: Sorry you didn't. You didn't need to know them at
that point.
Speaker 4: No, No, I come pretty simple, guy. Let me just
watch some quarterback play.
Speaker 2: You know more. I think you know this.
Speaker 4: I especially when I was playing, I didn't watch any
college football, right. It took me a while to get
back into college football because of the I mean, it's
kind of like when you go and play in college
you don't really watch high school football a lot, and
that the quality is a lot different than what you're
used to. You just don't do it. It was kind
of the same when the NFL. I couldn't go watch
it because of getting mad. Watch and I'd be like, man,
that's dumb, that was terrible play, that's awful. But now
I've learned to and you would go back and watch yourself,
and you would say the same thing.
Speaker 2: One hundred percent.
Speaker 4: I like to like, we we've been doing film breakdowns
and things like that. We're going to get more into that,
and that's one of the things I want to do.
I'd love to go break down film that we played
in it just like absolutely talk down to my old self. Yeah,
me too, Like what were you doing? Well, that's terrible mechanics.
Well that was terrible pocket movement pre snap reed, what
were you looking at You're supposed to look at the
backside read on this play?
Speaker 2: Well, you were more worried about fighting with hell on
who the mic was? Well? See speaking of hymns, I
know we did get a.
Speaker 4: Lot of fights, a lot of fights in practice, not
as many in the games, but we would get into
have some words. That's what happens when you know your
quarterback is a lot smarter and tougher than your center.
Speaker 2: That's you saying that, not me. Oh I say it
to his face, skinny face.
Speaker 4: Now about to say that's not saying a whole lot anymore, Bret.
It's like one hundred and ninety five, that's right now.
I mean talking tough over there now, Oh yeah, for
sure I talked tough then, Nay, did do you remember
throwing a ball at me in practice?
Speaker 2: Yes, yes I do. I would have thrown one at
you too. Why because I was right. Well, have you
ever been wrong? No, Well I told you I thought
I was wrong once, but I was mistaken. Yeah, he's
serious though, that's the issue. Oh my gosh. Uh.
Speaker 4: My opinions are never wrong because their mine. But then
some my facts are always right too. Now I will
say I mispronounced a lot of words wrong. It's true
and names, and you know what, I'm never gonna stop that.
It's not gonna ever be a thing I'm good at.
So you just I'm okay with it?
Speaker 2: Why not? Yeah? Why not? As long as people know
you're trying.
Speaker 4: You know, it's all that matters. Had a lot of
good tries out there. I will I will mess with.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't care.
Speaker 4: I'll mess with some people sometimes, like when I'm doing
the broadcast, if I'm if there's like somebody I know,
like I'll kind of mess with.
Speaker 2: Your name just a little bit because I know it's
like a little joke.
Speaker 4: Like there there was a guy from Ocean Springs, Mississippi
last week, and I was like, I'm gonna mess up
his name and see if Dick Dixon's listening.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that perfect. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I think it's like I think people get caught too,
caught up into having to pronounce everything correctly and perfectly.
I know that everybody's your name is the most important
name in the world to you.
Speaker 2: I get it. I've read that book too.
Speaker 4: I it's the most important name in the world, and
you want people to get it right. You don't want
to say Christina when her name is Christina.
Speaker 2: My wife's name in my house to get my nice
name right.
Speaker 4: But like you know, this day and age, people are
always spelling names differently. Okay, there's always people getting creative
on different ways. There's different names out there. There's different
like this is. We're we people from all over the world,
which is a wonderful thing come together and live together
and play together and all this stuff, right, But we
don't have to know exactly how to pronounce every little
thing and how every little word and syllable and vowel
goes with each other from a different country whatever. Like
I mean, it's give it a good effort. See even
getting you're trying to explain how you're not wrong. Oh,
I do like to mess with people about names, like
I've got I guess some good friends that you know,
so I have Jackson and.
Speaker 2: Jackson spelled j A c K s O.
Speaker 3: But I've got plenty of friends that have at Jackson's
that is j XO N And so like one day
like knowing that, and I know they listen, Like I
went on a thing. I was like, yeah, you know,
it's just the way you guys spell the name. It's
like the way the Lord intended. And I loved it
because I knew exactly what I was doing, and I
had like fourteen messages from the people that I knew
were listening, and we're going to say something. So we're
not always serious, you know, we're super serious all the time.
But I mean we're a serious sports show, though, serious
sports show, no question about it, serious about breaking news
as well.
Speaker 2: We could. We could break news, just not who we are.
Don't want to. All right, if you bleed purple and goal,
you are going to love this.

Speaker 1: Locked in on LSU Football twenty four to seven. You're
listening to Off the Bench.
Speaker 3: All right, welcome back in It is OTB here live
from Pro Dreams. Very excited to welcome on our friend,
the head soccer coach for your LSU Tigers coach, Sean
Hudson to the show.
Speaker 2: Coach, what's going on?
Speaker 7: How you doing good morning, good morning, thanks for having us.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know you got nothing going on, coach.
Speaker 4: I mean you're trying to get ready for the NCAA tournament.
You had signing day yesterday, I believe, just you know,
just a little slight work.
Speaker 2: Nothing too big going on right now, that's.
Speaker 7: Right, that's right. Just trying to get a reco crowds
Friday night and give these girls a huge sendoff for
this big tournament run.
Speaker 2: We're after this, that's right, coach.
Speaker 4: So you have the big tournament starting Friday night. But
let's go back a little bit. Let's take a give
us a kind of a rundown of the SEC tournament.
Y'all had a great run during that tournament all the
way to the championship game, and you had three girls
named to the ali See tournament team. Just kind of
give us a breakdown and how did the girls feel?
How how was that whole experience during that tournament?
Speaker 7: Oh, it was unbelievable. You know, the girls, the chemistry,
the camaraderie within the team. Ten days at the beach.
You know, you've got to keep them. Yeah, I think
the most important thing was we were scoring goals. Confidence
was high, and there was just this feeling in the
group that we just weren't going to lose, we were
going to win it all and unfortunately the tenth p
K stopped.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was like, I mean, an incredible turnament. Anything
more exciting than the penalty kicks?
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, I think a the Gallaghan either Herman
stuffics Riah Bailey, you know they were on Morgan wit.
So our attacking unit was on fire and as you know,
when you're scoring goals you put the ball in the
back of the net. Confidence is hi. People are happy.
But I think overall, honestly, the solidarity and the defensive unit,
the work ethic on the defensive start of the ball
was immense. So all the makings were there for a
championship run.
Speaker 3: And that starts, as you mentioned, coach, on Friday. And
so you get a four seed, you get an opportunity
to host here in Baton Rouge. You're going to be
taken on Houston to Christian in the first round. That's
going to be Friday again at seven pm. Looking forward
to to that. What doesn't mean coach to host postseason
soccer though, I mean, look, we all know where the
program was when you came here and you continue to build,
you continue to develop, and it's been a lot of
fun to kind of watch it from Afar. And now
you're hosting postseason soccer in bann Rouge. You're, you know,
a mainstay in postseason soccer. It's it's something that you
know hasn't always been the case here. So like what
does it mean to host this game and have this
opportunity in Baton Rouge.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's amazing. I mean the team was at the
women's basketball game last night and got to stand innovation
on the court, tense the cola. I think they were
two thousand Tiger fans in tens of color on Sunday.
So we uh, you know, we want we want to
make soccer, you know, one of the top sports here
in Louisiana, and we want the community to come out
in force. But the work that we do in the community,
the girls are always out working with the kids, it's
just special. I think there's a there's a massive soccer
community here and we want to make we want to
make a really deep run and show the fans the
l s U soccer is going to the top.
Speaker 4: Coach, how do you how do you prepare your team
going into what is the end of the season going
into the big tournament. You have a you have a
great seating, you just came off a great run at
the SEC Tournament. How do you get them prepped mentally, physically,
emotionally ready for what could be and what hopefully will
be another great run.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm not gonna lie. Monday's plus right home from
Pensacola was difficult. There was a lot of sad faces.
But I think every time we've hit adversity this season,
this team has grown stronger from it. And you know,
I just just training yesterday. You just have this sense
and this feeling that Friday night, Houston Christian we are
going to absolutely bring it on every level. And I
think the little things that we learned from the game
against Vanderbilt. You know, some of the players were nervous
and afraid to step up and take a PK, and
immediately after it they told me that they want one
next time. So, you know, I think that's the special
thing about this team. They want it, They learn, and
they're growing. They're not afraid to be humble enough to
say mistakes for me, and you can just see the
togetherness in the chemistry and the group it's special.
Speaker 3: Coach obviously, Like when you're on a run like you are,
and I know, pks you want to go a little
bit different way, but still like even in that like
you felt like hell the entire time, but you have
a ten match unbeaten streak, Like when you say, you know,
you kind of see sad faces and I understand it
because they wanted to win the SECS but had a
heck of a run there. And when you're on such
a streak, do you remind them of that? Like, Hey, look,
I understand, but SECS are great, that's not the goal.
The goals go win the national championship. And we look,
we haven't lost here in a long time, right, We've
won eight, We've we've had two draws there. We are
still that team that we can be.
Speaker 4: Like do you remind them of that when you're on
that bus ride back to Ben Rouge.
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Absolutely. It's called the Big Damps for a reason. You know,
the SEC is immense and it's the best conference tournament
in the country, but winning the national championship is what
it's all about. And Jay Johnson came in and sold
the bills. On Monday after our press conference at the
National slut should show that he's never won an SEC championship,
but he's won soon Natties. And yeah, the girls were
really excited about that. You could just see the look
in their eyes. You know, it just clicks that here, Ls.
It really is about winning national championships, not just SEC.
Speaker 3: No question about it. And again that gets started this Friday.
It's going to be a home game.
Speaker 4: This is I believe the fourth time in program history
that LSU has hosted, but the last being in twenty
twenty two.
Speaker 3: Got to win there against Lamar. Going to get another
win here coming up this weekend, Coach, is one last time,
just kind of give the Tiger fans, you know, the
opportunity to know exactly where it's going down, who the
opponent is, and what you.
Speaker 4: Expect on Friday night.
Speaker 7: Absolutely Houston Christian seven pm. I know the Tiger fans,
they love goals, they love entertainment. This is the top
goal scoring scene in the SEC. Come and support them.
Watch the bang in a Field.
Speaker 2: Certainly scored more goals than Everton this year.
Speaker 4: Coach, she said, that's not hard to do, buddy, I.
Speaker 3: Know, I know, coach, Coach knows. I'm an Evertonian. It's okay,
we won't bring up Man United right now. Their coach,
you're the best. We appreciate it. Look forward to seeing
an incredible crowd on Friday night.
Speaker 2: Best of luck, and I can't wait to watch.
Speaker 7: Thanks my friend, all right, there.
Speaker 4: She is l s U head coach Sean Hudson good
enough to join us here on OTB. Always look forward
to that conversation. A great, great run that they're on
five straight years now that coach Hudson has led LSU
to the postseason. And again they've had some moments in
program history without question, but I mean, this is a
heck of a run that they're on, very really nice.
So they made the run of the SEC and bring
it down. How they lost that last that last.
Speaker 2: Oh man hopefully coach and still listening again, it was look,
they went to PKS.
Speaker 3: With Vanderbilt, who who I believe was the number one seed,
and you know, they had opportunities and if they would
have made one of the kicks there I believe it
was the fourth and the fifth kick they would they
would have won, they would have won the SEC tournament.
But it was a great job by Vanderbilt saving those
pks and but it didn't stop there.
Speaker 4: I mean they went on for a while and they
fall just short there. But it's what a great point
to have, Like you know, Jay Johnson, like, hey, we've
won two Natties without winning the SEC tournament.
Speaker 2: It's okay, exactly, you can go do that. You can
still go win. So and I was.
Speaker 4: Learning a lot from a situation like that. You say,
a lot of girls were wanted to step up and
say next time, I'd like the ball.
Speaker 2: So I love that.
Speaker 4: So it's a nothing more exciting though than those when
when a soccer game goes up and I'm not going
to like sit here and lie and like say a
dabble like you do as much as you do in soccer.
But when we do and when it goes to the
penalty kicks, it's it's exciting. So good luck to the girls,
good luck to LSU Houston Christian Friday Night. Yeah, so
just to kind of tell you, like what kind of
heater they're on right now. So this marks the eleventh
appearance by LSU in the NCAA Tournament, so eleventh in
program history. It's the fifth in a row by Kirk
Shawn Hudson. So almost half of their appearances. So the
soccer program is very healthy, going in a great direction,
and they host postseason soccer against HUT Christian on Friday,
seven pm right there at LSU on campus.

Speaker 4: We got to get tray automatic pump over there, he's

the one that comes with the pee wee football you

Speaker 2: You know, the first football that came free.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they got electric one tray with batteries and everything.
I mean, unless that's your four arm workout for the day. Yeah,
so okay, they might not even charge for that on Amazon.
It just to get it out of the warehouse. Oh
what comes free with the beach ball? You need a
beach ball for your back. I do need a sum
for my back. We are sitting here for the second
year in a row of games that we've watched, twenty
twenty two and twenty twenty three, LSU Arkansas another barn Burner.
Six to three, six to three. I don't think it's
going to be six to three almost before halftime Saturday,
entire stadium. Yep, No, it's not. Well, actually it could be.
Speaker 2: It could be.
Speaker 4: Yeah, very easily could be L Sho's defense and then
L Shoe's offense, the combination of that, it could very
easily be six to three. I misspoke. Yeah, I wouldn't
real smart of you. Yeah, I don't want to be,
but it could be. Oh, you know what, I need
to look, but I need to see if L Shoes
run of Power?
Speaker 2: What do you think? No, no, they didn't run one
last game.
Speaker 4: Well, now there's some like again, I always question the
whole The PFFF has great tools, right, but you always
got a question like who's grade and did they get
it right?
Speaker 2: Did they get it wrong? Grading? Yes? Yes?
Speaker 4: But well even like Powers of Power, yeah kind of,
but I can make a counter for power.
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's kind of hard. I mean it's getting harder.
Speaker 4: Well, if you're if you're a website that's supposed to
be you know, what I'm saying, right, if you're supposed
to be on it, because I mean, there's different pollers,
there's different ways to get like counter and power, different plays,
there's different aiming point for the running back. It's it's
a B gap compared to an A gap. It's two pullers.
It's you know, even the one like a lot of people.
Speaker 3: Like thought was the power, It's like, well, actually, the
way they kind of blocked that backside.
Speaker 4: It wasn't really there was a quarterback power. We gave
them credit for. You know, really it was kind of
blocked like a counter.
Speaker 2: But zero.
Speaker 4: LSU two hundred and sixty six run plays on the
year outside zone twenty nine percent of the time, inside
zone thirty three percent of the time, duo nineteen percent
of the time, counter nine percent of the time, two percent, draws,
three percent, trick plays zero percent counter.
Speaker 2: So now zero are zero powers. Just try it, Just
try it. We are Let's see.
Speaker 4: Let's look at this November the thirteenth, You're about to
play Arkansas, which we know is late during the year,
and LSU football hasn't run a power. We didn't go
a drive without running power. If it was a three
and out one of them is going to be power
because you at least gotta try just run one, just
for s and g's.
Speaker 2: Almost almost just like said it, Like why didn't say it? Yeah,
because you're smart. Yeah, just.
Speaker 4: Here's here's it might not worry it probably won't. It
probably won't. But here's the thing. Here's the thing that's
frustrating to me. You can't run the ball from a
large portion of the year.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 4: Harlan Barry is incredible, He's going to be awesome, incredible patience.
Speaker 3: You've run better the last two weeks. But if you
are struggling, if you're trying to create new why wouldn't
you try it. It's not like we're talking about trying. Uh,
you know, go back to hornbass like we run. I
think it's a great play. I'm not saying that it
doesn't have to be a pin and pool. Okay, everybody
runs those.
Speaker 4: But if you don't want to, Okay, every level of
football that has a helmet and shoulder pads runs power.
Every level, even the most air raid spread team in
America is going to run some variation of power every
now and again.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think if you don't, they're not doing it.
Speaker 4: Well, try something different and something that they every player
did in high school.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I don't think you can't really fact check us on this,
but I don't think there's ever been a football team
assembol that hasn't run power can't be and if you're
not doing things Curly Lambeau's power, Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean, if you were crushing it with your counters
and your d thos, you're inside zones.
Speaker 2: If you're crushing it, great, if you're not.
Speaker 4: I feel like it was one of those things that
like it was a spring training situation and they're like,
let's run all these plays, and like they just couldn't
get power off the ground. They were like, all right,
we're not doing it. Let's just throw it out. That
was a bad decision. Just Yeah, it's just I think
the best run games in America all have great diversity
in them, and you got to do multiple things. And
when you just don't do a basic play, that's shocking
to me. Right, It's like eliminating a slant route. It's like,
we're not running smash anymore. Everybody in America runs smash.
A smash concept, Yeah, a hitch in a corner. Everybody,
We're not doing no, No, that's not any good. Yeah,
are you no two steps slants in this playbook?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: No two steps, No, no slant flats, no curl flats.
It's like eliminate one of the most like some of
the most basic plays. And like I always envisioned, like
when we're talking about that, I always always envision myself,
like what if the coach is listening to like what
we're saying right now, like we're talking on there, like, well,
they're not in the they're not in the facility every day,
they don't see the practice film and the No. I
get that, but we're talking about like the most basic
of football x's and o's right here. Oh yeah, we're
not talking about something we're not talking about like, yeah,
we get it. We don't know it, Like every time,
even when we break down found we don't know technically
the rules of every single play.
Speaker 2: Now we can we can pinpoint things.
Speaker 4: We can come to a reasonable conclusion about what the
rules and the reads of a quarterback would.
Speaker 2: Have been on a play.
Speaker 4: But like we're talking about power here, run a damn power.
Yeah again, you're gonna run it. Of course they're gonna
run it. And it's not gonna work. Oka, just run it,
just see if it works.
Speaker 2: You don't know because you hadn't done it.
Speaker 4: It's like the most basic play all those four downs
against Florida Power. Even the fake field goal was Power.
The fake field I was the puller. You're talking about
the Special names coordinator got it installed before offensive coordinator.
Speaker 2: Power three coming back off the bench.
Speaker 3: Okay, I just I really thought about the fact that
we ran a variation of Power on a fake field
goal that year Special Teams Court.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna mess with it. Bradleydale Pivoto put it in.
