Speaker 1: Fall Start Toyota presents Off the Bench with Jacob Hester
and Matt Flynn. Let's go, Let's go from a championship
backfield to your morning drive.
Speaker 2: Hen'sday, Hester and Hester got it far bt A.
Speaker 3: Far You're locked in to Off the Bench, Descrip Control
the Live from downtown Baton Rouge. Here's Jacob Hesser and
Matt Flynn.
Speaker 4: Yo. Welcome, Oh TB Monday, Monday, Monday, Florida, You suck
you sick three?
Speaker 2: And oh.
Speaker 5: What is going on? Jake Flynn, Elijah Taita all here
with you. LSU is three and no, as Matthew told
you there.
Speaker 4: Florida, Florida yet again can't figure out how to beat
the LSU Tigers. You know, before we get the pledget
trees and see how everybody did this weekend. Like Florida
is so fake tough and they always have been and
they'll continue to be so. And it is so funny
to me that they use all of their energy before
the game and in victory formation. That's when they like to, Hey,
how about you use some of that during the game.
Maybe you want to be better, Maybe you won't lose
seven of your last nine against LSU, like front runners. Hey, pregame,
we're gonna be real loud, we're gonna be real tough,
we're gonna run through your warm up, and we're gonna
try to fight you before the game. Then during the
game it's like you disappear and you tap out. And
then during victory formation, when we're like, okay, game's over,
we beat you, then you want to act tough again,
and then you want to have all that energy again.
Speaker 5: It's funny how that works. From Florida.
Speaker 4: Doesn't matter who the players are, doesn't really matter the year. Hell,
it doesn't really matter the coach either. That's just who
they are. Yeah, it's their culture, and their culture is awful.
And I think we can all agree on that Florida
is the worst college.
Speaker 5: In the whole world. And I'm glad we beat them.
Speaker 6: I don't care how it looked, Honestly, I have no
I don't care how the game looked, what your opinion
of the game was. We won the game, We beat them.
They got a loss, they got Add one to their
lost column, add one to our win column. And they
are front runners. They always have been. And that's why
we don't like them. That's why we want to play
them every single year. Yeah, and I hope it doesn't
go away, because it go away. It's so good. But
like it is, I love that their front runners because
it makes.
Speaker 5: It so good. Oh, it makes it even better. It's
like the play the villain perfectly.
Speaker 4: Like okay, like you want to have your little scuffle
over there by the side of the line your former play. Okay,
that's that's one thing. Like what in the hell did
you think was going to happen? When you run through
LSU's warm up, you're on their sideline, you go in
front of their student section, and then like the coaches.
Speaker 5: Are like, oh, what's going on? What are we doing?
I told one of them, I said, well, what do
you think was gonna happen? My guy? Yeah? Did you
think like this was gonna go well? Or do you
not think it out?
Speaker 4: Or were you trying to try to intimidate Now he's
air quotes, because you didn't intimidate anybody and try to
be a tough guy before the game.
Speaker 6: No, what you trying to do in a situation like
that is pick a fight for once. Like William Wallace
going out to his first fight in Brave Heart, He's
going to pick a fight. They you go out there
to pick a fight, and then maybe the best thing
that could happen is you do something so egregious, which
is the run in the middle of somebody's warm up.
Speaker 5: That's you see it all the time.
Speaker 6: You see that happening pre game people, little little gamesmanship,
little cat and mouse game. But the best thing that
could happen is you do something so agree just the
other team throws a punch at you and then they
get suspended for the game.
Speaker 5: Right, hey, kicked out? So that's maybe maybe that's nope.
Speaker 4: Now in college football, they wait until you tackle somebody
to kick you out.
Speaker 5: Of the game.
Speaker 6: Let's can we get that into that like later, I
don't want to start out like so mad. Let's celebrate.
Let's celebrate. Let's walk on their graves a little bit.
Print the new shirts out. Let's say three and.
Speaker 4: Oh, I think the message is still gonna stay like
one to no though, you know, yeah no, but we're
literally three and oh, literally yes for sure, you could
you could do that, uh and yeah, certainly think you're
laundra certainly throughout the day we look, we'll tell you
what we thought about the game and what we thought
about the offense and what we thought about the defense
continuing to just.
Speaker 5: Kick ass all day. Every day.
Speaker 4: We'll tell you about how many people stepped up because
your captain went out of the game after a couple
of plays on defense. All of that we will get
to like all of that, the good and the bad. Well,
I would even say bad again. You want an sec game,
the things that have to continue to get better, not
bad ugly.
Speaker 5: What's gonna say? Okay, exactly, bad.
Speaker 6: Execution, a little bit here and there, it's okay, guess what,
there's game three, a lot of games left. We're not
gonna sit here and make excuses for some of that stuff.
And I think it's Tiger fans like we want perfection
because we've seen perfection from a lot of the same
guys on offense. The good lord, let's celebrate what a
performance our defense had from a guy that a quarterback
on the other side that is, you know, has the
potential to kind of go off and have big games
he did last year against us.
Speaker 5: Well, we righted that wrong a little bit.
Speaker 6: And defense flies around, creates confusion, creates excitement, creates energy,
and even with your best player, your leader, your vocal leader,
your energy leader out of the entire game because of
a BS.
Speaker 5: I really want to say it, but it's before eight.
Speaker 4: Hey, hey, Lars, hold on real quick, Hey Lars, in
the chat. What does a clown take your punishment like
a man? Lars, You've never been in a battle. You've
never been in a fight. You've never been in a
game like that. My guy, you work your ass off
all week long to get into the game like that.
You have a seal on your chest, so you're ready
to go. You're ready to lead the other ten guys
out onto the field. And because you're tackling somebody and
because his helmet moves down, look to the letter of
the law. We can have that conversation all we want.
I don't care what the letter or the law says.
Have give no, you know what's what it says.
Speaker 5: I don't.
Speaker 4: It's football, all right. I know how I played football.
I know how the guys sitting next to me played football.
And so yeah, it's emotional because you give a damn
because you put in your heart and soul into the
game plan to go out there and do all the
things it takes to be victorious and to lead your teammates,
and so he can act however he wants to, because
I'd been pissed too. I'd have been mad kicking me
out of that game? Are you kidding me? So you've
never been in that situation, Lars, And that's okay, And
I appreciate you tuning in and listening and doing all
that stuff. You can call me a clown. Two, that's fine.
I don't care. I don't care because you've never been
in that position. As far as like what the emotion,
I know I'm not talking about. You didn't play coss football,
high school football. If I got kid to have a
high school.
Speaker 5: Game that meant a lot for that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'd be mad too. So you cannot like it,
and you can cost whatever that part. I don't care,
But I can understand why somebody would be very upset
for getting kicked out of that game. Yeah, what is soft? Yeah, Lars? Yeah,
everybody says that about Whitweeks. You're right, You're right. Everybody
says that. Come on, what are you talking about? You
get as a college athlete every single year.
Speaker 6: You work three hundred and sixty five days in the
entire year, focusing on twelve games potentially more, and then
your last year at LSU. You're an unspoken leader on
the defense, you're an All American, preseason All American, you
are one of the best linebackers in the country. And
you get five six opportunities a year to play in
front of your home crowd, even less than that against
a big time rival, a big time SEC opponent, and
you get kicked out early like that because of a
an effort play that had no malicious intent. Yeah, letter
of the law, whatever it is, I saw, But if
we go through the letter of the law, I saw
probably fifty people that game that should have been kicked
out for targeting. You could call it almost every play,
almost every tackle. You can call holding, every time, you
can call it legal content, you can call interference. It
is the intention of all these penalties that gets called
the intent to hurt somebody, not the intent to hustle
and get a man to the ground and try to
be legal that you get to he gets there and
he makes a tackle, his head hits his face mask.
If the intent is there, that is what is damaged
about this rule. That is what is damaged about how
they ref this and to take that away, to strip
that away from somebody one of the few opportunities that
you have as a senior, one of the few opportunities
that you have in a big game, a night game
in Tiger Stadium.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you'll get so many of those in your entire career. Yeah,
are the ones that like we saw Saturday night.
Speaker 6: Yep, And thank god the rule has changed to where
they don't have to go into the locker room because
he was still able to be a leader. You saw
Brian Kelly go up to him too and say, we
need you, we need you. You can still help. But man,
I can't imagine the emotions that I would be feeling
if that had happened to me. It was a clown
show of a call. I believe it's a clown show
of a rule.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like I don't even know, Like again, like
this isn't Oh, that wasn't targeting.
Speaker 4: It was targeting. I'm not Hell, I don't even know anymore.
So I'm not even here to have that argument. So
I'm here to have with the intent of of what happened,
and for that to disqualify you from that entire football game.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's stupid. That's stupidity. Now, I didn't even want
to get pissed this early.
Speaker 4: After Witt did get kicked out, he kind of, you know,
went to his brother.
Speaker 5: Obviously.
Speaker 4: I said this on the broadcast, like, hey, I'm gonna
need you to step up. I'm gonna need you to
go out there and hit a lot of people. And
west Weeks did say whose car are we taking? Yep,
that man stepped up and until he got hurt. And
then when he got hurt, here comes another Week's brother,
Like we ain't another one another one.
Speaker 5: I like what Brian Kelly said up to the game
too in the interview.
Speaker 6: He's like, yeah, I don't know if the third Weeks,
I don't know if he uh if he really knew
what he was doing out there, but he did it hard.
Speaker 5: He played hard. Elandra points it out inside the chattoo.
Speaker 4: De vine Keys did go off man, he's a he's
a great player a year ago like this is just
a really talented linebacker room. And you know, thankfully so
because you can miss a wit Weeks in a game
like this and still be highly productive. West Weeks devine
Key's both had double digit tackles. They went out there
and they played incredible, They played really well, They played tough,
They played physical, so uh that was good to see
as well. Uh, before we get too angry down the road, here, Elandra,
how we.
Speaker 7: Doing doing great? I had a good weekend. I mean
we're three and zero. I know people have complaints and
stuff like that, and sure there's some stuff that could
maybe be improved on, but we're three and oh, so
I feel great. And then the schedule we have Southeastern
next week and then at Ole Miss, so it's looking
pretty favorable to be undefeated in the middle of the season.
Speaker 5: And it does.
Speaker 4: That's so like it feels it's been a while.
Speaker 5: It has been a long time. You can feel that energy.
Like I'm still thinking about the fact that we finally
want to open. It's a big deal. It's a big
step for us. I was emotionally damage for like years.
Speaker 6: Sure, yeah, and yes, you should celebrate the fact that
we're three.
Speaker 5: No, because winning in the SEC is hard.
Speaker 8: It is hard.
Speaker 6: I don't care how and I don't care how a
team looked the week before. Yeah, I don't care, Like what, Like,
there's still SEC football players. They're still an SEC team,
and like, look, both teams are college football teams. They're
not NFL teams out there, So like, well, I think
I think as LSU fans, like we have these expectations
that it's going to be twenty nineteen every single year, right,
really great on both sides of the ball. We got
NFL players all over the play. This is college football.
It's not it's it's Jake said it last week. It's
the perfect imperfections about it. Like it's not going to
look great every single week. There's things that these guys,
these kids are still learning how to play big time
football here and there. Like, you get the win, you celebrate.
Life's too short not to celebrate the victories. You only
get so many opportunities every single season to go out there.
You only get one against Florida and you beat.
Speaker 5: Them, and we don't know what that series is going
to look like.
Speaker 7: Now.
Speaker 5: I hope they do too.
Speaker 4: I Mean, I'm sitting there and there was a league
official Wandre Knows I'm talking about that was at the game,
and I'm like, hey, you see this, y'all want to
get rid of this, right, ain't no way.
Speaker 7: He's well, Okay, what I was gonna say is, I
don't know if you ended up going mat but it
was electric inside Tiger State on Saturday. Like it was
the loudest I've heard it be in a while.
Speaker 5: I don't know if what was the chance they were
doing it? Sucks to be a Florida Gator.
Speaker 7: Yeah it was awesome. So this was electric?
Speaker 5: Can I tell you something? Oh? No?
Speaker 7: Oh? Also, they understood the Gold Game assignment.
Speaker 5: They did. I didn't, but they did.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I did it either.
Speaker 5: Well, so did I know?
Speaker 4: I told everybody for all, like the whole week case
the Gold Game at wore purple because I forgot.
Speaker 5: I forgot, I forgot not a fox old guy. Well
you know, luckily I was in the boot, so you
wouldn't have seen me anyway.
Speaker 6: Sure, okay, so our situation happened my youngest, no, my
oldest who I was taking to the game. I wouldn't
take them all because I didn't have that many tickets. Yeah,
I was just gonna take so my second she was
gonna come with me. But the night before they had
gone to the Zombies movie concert in New Orleans. I
don't know if anybody's ever seen or heard of the
zom Bombies.
Speaker 5: Movie the Smoothie King.
Speaker 6: It was at the Smoothe King Center. It's like a
musical type movie because we were at the Supernome for
Jackson's game. Okay, yeah, so she was she was up
late on Friday, so she didn't want to go, so
she wasn't going to go. So it was just me
and my oldest and he got a fever Saturday morning.
No yeah, now of course, like and so lives out
of town, so we had like a babysitter lined up
for she come over, we go to the game. So
of course he gets feeling better before the games, like
I want to go, And I was like, it doesn't
really work that way, but I've already canceled the babysitter.
You can't really like uncancel it at this point. So
we watched it at the house. We watched the house.
It was fun, still great. I enjoy That's how I
enjoyed taking the game in. But I would have liked
to fill that electricity for this game.
Speaker 7: It was electric.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I know, I saw, I saw and can a
shout out to the student section? Can they make a
chant out of any song?
Speaker 5: Right? Yeah? They can? Yeah? They I mean they were great.
They stayed. You might as well. They were there early
in the stadium too. You might as well bring neck
back like.
Speaker 6: That. Point they're gonna do it, was right.
Speaker 4: That's all right, my guy. Look, this is first time.
He just assumed, probably because they were chanting. He's like, no, no, no, actually,
they're going to do that no matter what songs.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it doesn't matter what song it is.
Speaker 5: At this point, I'm surprised they don't do it during
the next.
Speaker 4: You can play, you can play fly Me to the Moon,
and they're going to fight away.
Speaker 6: They're gonna stick in there and it's gonna fill organic
and they're all gonna be ready for it. Yes, that's
the thing. Do they practice this in I don't know,
in the quad? Were they practicing this? I don't know,
but they do, and they're all ready for it. It
does probably lead to a lot of uncomfortable conversations between
parents and child.
Speaker 7: Probably.
Speaker 5: I remember.
Speaker 6: My kids were asking about it, but I like distracted
them the keys or something. I don't remember, but hey,
you want Hey, here's I don't even know what they're saying.
Speaker 5: Kids.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I got older kids. They're like, oh, that's what
they're saying. Keys don't work on them. Old divs work
for that always. There's no question about that. Uh okay,
So we do have obviously a ton to get to
break down the game stats from the game compared to
last year's game. Uh, but overall theme, the LSU Tigers
are three. And oh of course we'll talk New Orleans
Saints as well today as they look, they put up
another fight and they fall just short yet again. So
we have a ton to get to here on this
Monday morning edition of OTB Off the Bench. All right,
go to get Gordon dot com Gordon mcernan Injury Attorneys.

Speaker 1: From Players to Legends, Hester and Flynn breakdown LSU football
like only champions can.
Speaker 4: All right, welcome back here in OTV one O four
five ESPN, Ben Ruth. Take a look at this team
stats for this twenty to ten victory for LSU. It
kind of mirrors what last year's game was a little
bit right. Florida's got twenty three first downs, you have ten.
You look back on third down efficiency, now they were
six to seventeen, you were four or fourteen. But they
had more total yards. Remember we told you the tale
of the tape from last year's game, where you had
more first downs, you had more total yards, You had
more yards through the year, like you were better on
third down than they were a year ago. Well, now
you kind of flip it there, and so the tail
of tape maybe doesn't tell the story of the game.
Now they held the football for thirty seven minutes in
this contest as well. Now you both had seven penalties,
But it's going to be the turnovers, obviously, that are
the story of the game. Just like last year it
was the sacks that Florida had that was the story
of the game. And so these I mean, look, the
box scores kind of mirror each other. Last year you
had a lot of success, you outgained them, ye held
the ball longer, but you couldn't protect the quarterback. Well
this year, I mean right, they kind of do the
same to you, but they couldn't protect the football. And
so this defense creates five turnovers, it's the story of
the game. It's the theme of the game. You took
one back to the house for a pick six. And
this defense, it continues to be highly impressive. It continues
to fly around, it continues to trick quarterbacks and like
some of those, you're gonna watch it and look, we
could into the last one. Djigway kind of throws it
up there, but lsu knew exactly what they were doing
in some of those coverage situations, and they baited DJ
Lagway into some of those throws.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll tell you who didn't know what he was
doing with DJ Lagway.
Speaker 6: I mean, good lord, like as a quarterback and as
much hate as I have for Florida, I was like, dude,
what is he doing like this? This is can you
not see the safeties? Don't I don't know what he
was looking at a lot? And I know LSU did
a really good job at Baden baiting him, disguising coverages,
creating confusion.
Speaker 5: And we've done that all season.
Speaker 6: We did at Week one against Kate Clubby, We've done
at Week three now against Dj Lagway, two of the
top pre season ranked quarterbacks going in. We have created confusion.
We've created chaos, and maybe not so much. It was
a different type of chaos this week than it was
against Clemson. Clemson was you know, all gas, no breaks
of pressures. We're bringing so many different types of pressures.
Now you lose wit early in the game, so it
kind of changes a lot of some of the things
that you can do or you're comfortable doing, because with
you know, he just he's been there the starters can
make up for when you when you create pressure.
Speaker 5: We talked about this last week.
Speaker 6: When you create pressure and chaos from one side, you
have to have people that are smart enough and comfortable
enough and experience enough to like cover ground because where
you create strengths on one side of the ball, you
create a weakness somewhere else. So you have to have
those kind of experienced guys to fill in those voids
and make those weaknesses. Last week, I guess if you will,
But they created chaos just flying around. Our dbs are
can play, can play their role in a coverage by
making it look like a different coverage. So if if
you're a safety or a corner and you have like
a cloud coverage is a corner and you have the
and the have safety over the top, safety playing over
the top of a cloud corner like, they can make
it look like quarters and then at the last second
go play their responsibility. Yeah, and it creates confusion. It's
just it's fun to see. But at the end of
the day, we did benefit from some very poor quarterback decisions.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean the one did DJ pick it? He
just he's throwing it up for sure, Like the AJ Halsey.
He was shot out of a cannon before half when
he picked that one off. I mean that was like
he was like waiting, like I bet you want throw it.
Speaker 5: I bet you all know it. That guy's fun to watch.
He is fun to watch. He throw the whole, the whole,
like the whole, secondary, the whole. Like let's just.
Speaker 4: Turn you know, some of this into just a waxing
poetic about the defense. I mean, Alandra pointed out, like
Devine Keys comes in there, he has fourteen tackles, didn't
start the game, but he comes in, he has fourteen tackles,
has half a sack in a TfL West Weeks he
started the game, but obviously he had to step up.
Speaker 5: He goes to the green dot.
Speaker 4: Now when his brother gets kicked out and he has
twelve tackles in a TfL to Marcus Cooley. Right, he
not the biggest guy in the world, but I'd be
damned if every time in the open field he doesn't
get the guy down. Doesn't matter if it's a tight end,
a receiver or a back. Aj Hawsey playing at a
different speed. Right, make sure that he you know, his
presence is felt every time he hits you.
Speaker 5: As well.
Speaker 4: Perkins did another great job of spying the quarterback. Anytime
that DJ Lagway thought that he had the edge, here
comes number seven, monsour de Layne. What Matt's talking about,
Like you can do all these creative things because it's like, okay,
well four is gonna have his guy. We're good there,
and you don't worry about it, and you call the
blitz and you call the pressure and we could just
PJ Woodland's playing incredible.
Speaker 5: We could go on and on.
Speaker 4: We could go down the list of defensive guys, but
the main point is everybody's not only doing their job,
they're doing the job that helps everybody else out the
other ten guys. So like if somebody goes down, you
step up. If somebody's pressuring, I've got you, Like I'm
gonna handle the back end back here.
Speaker 5: Like it is total complete team defense. Yeah, and.
Speaker 6: It shows up in the stats when you can play
team defense like that, and we can. It's hard when
we're not watching film to kind of tell you about
like how good that secondary is playing and how what
kind of chemistry they're playing with. But when you see
a safety come out of nowhere, hey, it's step in
front of a pass. That means they are dissecting what
the offense is doing. They are understanding the route concept.
They are understanding he didn't just come from nowhere. He
had a responsibility on one part of the field, but
he understood, based on the route concept that his responsibility
he wasn't needed her if like on the you're looking
at the ball, Okay, left side is taken care of,
so I can go and help poach the right side
of the ball. And they just understood the route concepts.
You could tell they were ultimately ready. They had watched
a lot of film. They knew what Florida would try
to do to them, and when you get opportunities, they
made the play. I mean, how many times do you
go into games and you have opportunities to intercept the
ball and it's dropped or two defenders run into each
other and you just don't get it. They took advantage
of every single opportunity, and it was the difference in
the game because you know, it wasn't the most explosive
offensive performance we've had, but the defense stepped up, so
it was a complete team win in that aspect.
Speaker 5: It was a lot of fun to watch.
Speaker 4: I mean, just multiple defensive performances that stood out I
think to everybody. I mean, no matter who you are,
where you're watching, you certainly can appreciate what the linebackers
did stepping up when you lose your captain, what the
defensive backs can take need to do.
Speaker 5: I thought you had great pressure on TJ. Lagway as well.
Speaker 4: So a lot of great things when it comes to
this LSU defense. Now, when we come back, let's talk
about the LSU offense. Obviously, there's things that you want
to see. There's things that LSU wants to get cleaned up, and.
Speaker 5: They're gonna have to. They're gonna have to.
Speaker 4: There's also a thing that he did to close out
the football game that I would love to see more of,
and not just because of who I am and.
Speaker 5: What position I play, but oh my god, can we
see more of that?
Speaker 4: And we'll show the play and what we're talking about
when we come back here on OTV. Off the bench,
all right, go to gcop net dot com. Gc op

Speaker 8: By Broil Brother zil Brass.
Speaker 5: All right, welcome back you and O TV here on
this Monday morning.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think we actually figured out how to show
tape and connect to Flint's computer.
Speaker 5: I think. Did I think it would ever happen?
Speaker 4: I didn't Week three. I had hope, I had dreams,
but I didn't have a belief. Now I got belief.
Uh So, Matthew, what are we going to show the people?
Speaker 5: Good question? At solid question? Kah, because we're trying to
get it loaded back up. Now, That's why I asked
a question. Well, we had talked about.
Speaker 6: Hold on a second here, all right, So we had
talked about some going to break there something that you
really enjoyed from the game.
Speaker 5: Yes, what was that?
Speaker 2: It was?
Speaker 6: It was like it was a it was like a
weird position out there. It's like I didn't even know
what to call this position. I don't know what he
really does, but it was like an offense. It was
like he was in between the quarterback and the running back. Yeah,
in the backfield, and the quarterback is underneath the center.
That was weird to see Garrett underneath the center taking
a football snap like Hey.
Speaker 4: Look, if you're having trouble trying to establish the run,
and if you want to close the game out, because
that's what that drive was, you got to go close
the game out, right, It's got to be the alpha mentality. Well,
if you want to be an alpha, what do you do?
You bring a fullback into the game. That's how you
become an alpha. And you go get a meathead. And
Jack Pibron, who played fullback at Florida a little bit
as well, you bring him in. Anybody wearing number forty
four can play fullback and Jack Pibrin showed us that.
Speaker 5: And that's how you close out the game, Matthew.
Speaker 4: You run heavyset under center, hat on a hat and
allow your running back to go finish the game.
Speaker 6: Yeah you do, Taylor, you got this clip or you
got the monitor. Yeah, so we're gonna show to you
right here. I almost I was trying to find this
play on the film and I almost get past this
play because it looked like victory formation.
Speaker 5: It basically is victory formation in the game. Yeah, so
check this out.
Speaker 6: We got everybody lined up right here, and I can
guarantee you one thing Florida did not work on this
look in practice this week. There's not a lot of
guarantees in life, but we're just going to show you
that how beautifully blocked this was. It looks so different
than lining up and four wide and running five man
zone concept that get you one yard.
Speaker 5: Watch this beauty well, I mean it truly is like
for our radio listeners.
Speaker 4: I mean it is a hat on a hat. It
is Jack Pybrin on a defensive back. Is Bower sharp
lined up? I mean he's a true fullback as well,
And it is just coming off the football with bad intentions,
being aggressive, right, and it is just following your lead
blockers and as a run like a somebody has done
both of these positions, right, Like you just get on
their hip and you play off their block and once
you get the edge, you hit the edge.
Speaker 6: And so and look at the confusion that they have.
They don't know really what to do. Fifteen down here
and has to set the edge. It doesn't they have
twelve people in the field, like they have no idea
what to do because you just did something that was
non traditional. You haven't shown this and I don't know
fifteen years.
Speaker 4: All right, I have been fifteen years, all right, Come on, Okay,
come on, and that's how you close out a game
and you end in victory formation.
Speaker 5: So it was something we haven't seen. I love seeing it.
Speaker 4: Appreciate a fullback being back inside of Tiger Stadium.
Speaker 5: Certainly that was your biggest.
Speaker 4: Run of the game, and you get Look, you got
to continue to find ways to run the football. We'll
continue to break it down it is. You know, it's
something where when you look up, all right, you're going
to have one hundred and twenty eight yards rushing. They
had one hundred and thirteen yards rushing, and look, you
can't take that fifty one yards away. And we are
gonna try to do it all day today. I understand that,
but it's still it's just got to be more consistent.
Like I'm not even looking at the total rushing yards.
It's got to be consistent first down runs, which early
in the game you were having some success. There was
a lot of second and five, second and four in
this game. But then on second and third down, like
that's where you didn't make Hay. There was a lot
of throws behind the line of scrimmage. There wasn't a
lot of pushing the ball down the field, and then
after starting out second and four, well, then it was
third and four, and then it was fourth and four.
Speaker 6: RPOs are a tool, right, They're not an it's not
an offensive philosophy. It's an offensive tool. It's a tool
to use during the game that you sparadically use. What
I takeaways from like the game plan that I saw,
I didn't love. Now of course that they execute it though,
it's a whole different ballgame. But it's too many behind
the line of scrimmage RPOs. I'm gonna call them RPOs usually,
you know screens wide receiver wide receiver now routes with
the blocker out on the edge, and I get it,
Like a lot of times I watched the film yesterday,
I'm like, all right, well, this play was unsuccessful. Why
was it unsuccessful? What was the rules that the quarterback
was probably being taught? I don't know what exactly is
being taught in the building. But it's a numbers game,
you know, whereas we have wide receivers out, so there's
five people blocking for one running back. If six people
drop into the box, that is a numbers advantage to
the defense versus the versus the run. Right, you got
five people blocking for six guys. That's that's the numbers advantage.
So at that point you would look to throw the
behind the line of scrimmage screen if that's what it's
called like, that would be the point where you would
either check to a pass play or you would throw
the pass part of the run pass option. Right Florida
played defenses. They pressed the corners a lot, so it
makes it hard to throw RPOs behind the line of
scrimmage when they press corners. So that was their philosophy.
Create a numbers advantage in the box when the LSU
spreads it out, press the corners and it makes it
difficult to do those RPOs, So you have to have
another answer. Once you see that, you kind of have
to make the adjustment. Running game wise, what I saw
was when we are running our zones, like there was
some pretty decent things, decently blocked schemes throughout the game
except for like one guy here and there. But from
the majority of what I see is that there's a
hesitancy on the offensive line to get to the second
level when they're blocking.
Speaker 5: They want to be there.
Speaker 6: They're trying to be so perfect in helping the guy
next to them, and their assignment in Okay, if I'm
the center and I got my right guard, he's got
a three technique which is like a which is a
defensive tackle lined up on him, either head up or
on the guards outside shoulder.
Speaker 5: He wants to go.
Speaker 6: The center knows that he's got to help give leverage
to the guard before he works up to the mic
linebacker or the will linebacker. They're spending so much time
making sure that they're doing the help helping part, providing
like an extra arm, like they're they're spending so much
time that they're not getting to the second level fast enough,
which creates just a bunch of muck, which creates somewhere
that the running back cannot read. And it's just like
and then they never get to them. By the time
they get to them, the running backs already been hit.
So I see that too much where what I would
like to be taught. And when you go over the
film study is like, all right, I get it. You're
trying to get there. You're trying to be the perfect technique,
the perfect footwork, exactly what the playbook says, But in reality,
I just need you to get to the second level.
Like at some point that guard he doesn't need two
and a half seconds of help. Give him a little
presence and get up to the second level and be
aggressive with it.
Speaker 5: It's just not happening.
Speaker 6: They're all trying to be perfect in the run game,
which is creating ann perfect read for the running back.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the running game.
Speaker 4: When you're talking about it like there's gonna be some
dirtiness to it, it doesn't. It doesn't ever just show
up like you draw it up on the card and
what I saw. You sent it to me last night.
Your bull was already asleep, so this morning you're right.
I mean, they're trying to make sure they give good
hand presence and they get up to the second level,
and like you can appreciate, like if you're their coach,
you're trying to do that, but you also understand it's
hand presence. It's not I've got this guy too right.
Hand presence is let me help my guy till he
takes him over as I'm still working on my track
to my guy, yep, to my second level. And then
if the guy where I'm giving the hand presence is
showing a little bit, then that's on me as a
running back to run through that arm tackle exactly and
then get to the second level and make it cut.
Speaker 5: Off of it.
Speaker 6: I think what's being lost a little bit is the
running back would rather an offensive line declare exactly with
his body language who you're blocking and miss then not
declare who you're blocking and then actually get them. Yeah,
if you if you throw at a front shoulder of
a linebacker, if a lineman runs and throws at the
front shoulder and he misses them, the guy has to
go back door, so he has to go around the
offense on at least you know where you're running at
that point and you can hit at full speed. But
if you sit there and you just kind of like
patter your feet and you don't and you don't engage
the linebacker, then you're like the running backs like hesitant,
like where do I go? Which way am I going here?
So I'd like to see them. And when we say
second level, the first level is a defensive line. Second
levels the linebacker right past them. Then of course the
third level would be defensive backs. But like we want,
what they're trying to do is they're trying to help
too long on that first level and they're not getting
to the second level, which is creating a lot of chaos.
Speaker 5: But I'll tell you if you.
Speaker 6: Do want to fix it, I want to have everybody
needs to have a dog mentality of the number zero
there wide receiver, Heayley, can we pull this clip up?
I want to show you this clip that is uh
our guys Avian who absolutely I'll showed this to you all.
I the commercial break. I've never seen a wide receiver
do this right, Okay, watch this block down here by
number zero.
Speaker 5: You're watching.
Speaker 4: If you're watching on YouTube, you're watching on the bottom
of the screen. If you're listening on radio, you've got
trips to the left. You got a single receiver to
the short side of the field, which is AVI on Thomas.
Speaker 6: And we have grown to absolutely love the dog that
is AVI on Thomas. Watch this dude come off the ball.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'd never seen that. I mean, you're you're faking
a stutter route. The dB gets on his heels and
you just straight flat back him and and I know
we gotta take a break, but let me tell you,
when you watch this tape, you've got three LSU receivers
that got some dog in them. Like they're out there
and they're trying to do their part, like in the
run game, and like when they don't have the football,
which is very cool to see, but one in zero
they got all of it. They got all Those are
two players that I would not get too far away
from in any game plan. And if I need a play,
by god, where's number one? Where's he at? He's gonna
get open? It's fourth and one. Maybe bring them out
line that make a block. I promise you those days
are going to make a block in the trenches.
Speaker 5: No doubt about it.
Speaker 4: All right, we'll take a great more Lsu Florida when
we come back here on OTV. Off the bench, I
go to Boujoeselectrical dot com and it's not too late,
even though we've already had activity there in the Gulf
to get your whole whole home generator installed and ready
to go. We told you have over eighty right now
in stock at the warehouse. And so it's the process
of have them come out. See where you want this
generator right, like where the best place to put it is.
They slab it, They install it, and you are ready
to go, and you're ready for storms to as well.
Like the last thing that you want is to be
without power for any time period. It could be a day,
two days, whatever, and you don't have to worry about that.
You get the ultimate peace of mind with Boudro. Yeah,
why would you even take a chance. We live in
South Louisiana.
Speaker 6: We know it's hurricane season now, but we also know
that there could be like eight inches of snow randomly
on a random winter So why would you even take
a rest?
Speaker 5: It's Monday morning. I know that every Monday morning at
eight am, my.
Speaker 6: Generator is going to kick off for about five minutes
of its little weekly maintenance, and my wife, my family
is going to have that peace of mind.
Speaker 5: Go see them, get your whole home generator. Budroxelectrical dot Com.
Speaker 1: From the locker room to the airwaves. Gets off the
bench with Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 9: All right, we are back here on OTB LSU twenty
Florida ten, continuing to break it down.
Speaker 5: Final stat line for some of the top Tigers.
Speaker 4: Garret Nusmeyer fifteen to twenty seven two hundred and twenty
yards eight point one yards per attempt, one touchdown, one interception,
certainly an interception that he would like back. Cayden Durham
fifteen for ninety three six point two yards per carry,
of course, had a long of fifty one. Juwan Johnson
your second as far as Carrie's leading rusher, he had
four for zero. He had one where he lost a
lot of yards there, did have a run of eight yards.
Nobody else had more than one carry. Aaron Anderson your
leading receiver yet again, four for seventy five, Bower sharp
three for seventy one's Avion Thomas four four thirty five.
And you had Juwan Johnson lose a fumble there as well,
that didn't end up as a turnover because LSU was
able to get back on it. So you had the
one interception there that was the one turnover, So you
certainly won the turnover.
Speaker 5: Ratio game there.
Speaker 4: But still, if you're an LSU fan, Matty, do you
think that this offense can continue to develop and be
something that we in the preseason thought numbers wise that
we would see.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I guess leading up to the season, we're all like,
we think the defense is going to be better.
Speaker 5: We're pretty sure it is. Yeah, we got some pieces, yeah, and.
Speaker 4: We felt good about probably the passing game. Yeah, No,
you know, the rushing attack obviously still Yeah, and.
Speaker 6: I think like the biggest shock for LSU fans right now,
and that's why, like people are being judgmental after a
big SEC win. We hear the noise so right, wrong, different,
whatever your opinion is on that on how to judge.
I think it's just a little bit shocking that you're
not having the success offensively that you did a year
ago with a lot of most of the same pieces.
Speaker 5: Yeah right, so why is that? What can you fix?
Speaker 6: But I get the silver line is they can absolutely
be fixed because you've seen these people do it. You've
seen them go out and do it, so I would
expect that to be because the offense wasn't even a
question to us before the season, Like we knew it
was going to be explosive. We had this confidence because
we had literally seen it with our own eyes in
a year that the defense wasn't good. So the pieces
are there. We just have to use the pieces the
right way. And you just got to catch shrid. You
got to get confidence in that group. You got to
get confidence in that whole unit right there, so they'll
get it. They're shown it, all.
Speaker 4: Right, our number two v TV coming back your way
off the bench, all right, every Friday during the football season,
