Speaker 1: All Star 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: Ham'sday. Hester and Hester got it far out a PA.
Speaker 1: You're locked in to Off the Bench control the live
from the Mercedes Benz of Matton Rouge Studio. Here's Jacob
Hester and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 3: No welcome in oh t b here on this Monday,
Monday Monday.
Speaker 2: The streak is now over. You won an opener, and
not only did you win it, you did it in fashion.
You did it imposing your will on your opponent. You
were the alpha. You said, no, I'm grown, You're just
starting to crawl. You went into their trap and took
their trap. My god, I can't wait to break it
all down. It was beautiful, it was aggressive. There was
meatheads all over the place. And LSU is back the
LSU that you know, the LSU that you love, certainly
on the defensive side of the football. And we are
going to wax poetic about it all day long. Jake Flynn,
Elandra Tatay here with you. How are we doing?
Speaker 4: Do not let LSU have a defense this year? Because
we know what we have on offense, and my god,
was it fun watching those boys run around and play
with an absolute reckless abandon on defense and absolutely bringing
the thud to Clemson. Clemson, you stink we did it.
I'm excited. I'm doing great. My energy levels are super high.
Not not a lot of sleep, Just like everybody else,
I think, not a lot of sleep this weekend.
Speaker 5: You're dead, doesn't matter, It's labor day. We can take
nap later.
Speaker 2: Was there anybody on the road when y'all drove into
work this morning?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 2: Who cares? Because we're here?
Speaker 5: Can we can we have that every morning?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I'm good?
Speaker 5: No one?
Speaker 2: No one piss.
Speaker 5: Uh huh I did.
Speaker 4: I came in about six minutes early today, so I
just thought that that was like I beat the traffic
a little bit more. Nope, but I loved it. Six
minutes early. I wanted to catch a little extra game
film when.
Speaker 5: I got here.
Speaker 2: How'd that go?
Speaker 4: That was enough enough to watch one extra play? Okay,
you know, quarterbacks rewind a lot. Oh my god, y'all,
do do you know the buttons yet? I only got
I only got three buttons down. Okay, well, I don't
know the slow mo though, I gotta figure that part out.
Speaker 2: We'll work on it. I'll show you daring the break.
It's not that hard. But yes, we're all excited. How
could you not be the game that LSU played And look,
the only thing, honestly that was close was the final score, Like, hey, wait,
what do you mean? They had the ball, they had
a chance to go tie it up. I understand that,
but y'all have been watching football long enough to understand
how dominant that was. You had twenty five first downs
to their thirteen. Okay, you had three hundred and fifty
four total yards to their two sixty one. You rushed
the ball for over one hundred yards one oh eight
in multiple ways. We will certainly get there. You held
them to thirty one yards rushing all right on third down,
a very good third down team. You held them to
three of thirteen. You even turned the ball over twice
and still were able to dominate that game. You had
the football for thirty seven minutes and change thirty seven
minutes in somebody else's stadium. It was domination. Like I
can't stress that enough. Go back and watch the tape.
There was an aggressor, and there was somebody that continued
to take blows. There was an aggressor, and there was
somebody that never counterpunched because they couldn't pick their arms up.
It was bad intentions all night long, and the offense
made enough plays. The offense did what they had to
do in that game in the second half when they
got going, because remember Tom Allen's coming over from Penn State,
so they had to watch a lot of Penn State tape. Right,
you don't have those players in that scheme, so you
were going to have to figure some things out. You're
gonna have to jab jab jab. Okay, let's see what
we can do. And then when you came out in
the second half. I think about offensively, the success you had.
Even when you score a touchdown and they say it's
not a touchdown, you didn't allow that to affect who
you are, like you continue to have offensive success. Man.
It was if you could like a script on how
you wanted to see this version of LSU, it went
about as well as you possibly could put on paper.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I think one of the big things you said right
there was time of possession thirty seven minutes ten seconds
for Relshue twenty two minutes fifty seconds for Clemson. That
right there tells the story of the ass kick and
mentality that our defense came out with and the efficiency
that our offense worked in. Now, it didn't lead to
offensive points that we need, and a lot of things
need to clean up, and we will kind of go
over those things, but.
Speaker 5: The execution that we had for.
Speaker 4: The most part on most of our play we pretty
good on third down. A running game that is much much, much,
much improved. Rushing yards one hundred and ten for LSU,
thirty two rushing yards for Clemson. And we talked, and
you just talked about the intentions that the defense came
into this game with is highlighted on the very first
play the game where they run the ball, and you
saw something in that play that you didn't see last year,
which is eleven guys with bad intentions wanting to send
a message with the way they hit and make sure
that the other team is going backwards at the point
of contact and not our guys. So last week's hit
him in the hole. Safety comes down flying, just hitting
the pile, like we're just hitting. I don't care who
I'm hitting, We're just hitting. And it was like that
all night, and yes, just like you said, like the
score to me doesn't paint the entire picture. LSU fans
should be so excited because do not let this team
this year have a good defense, And by god, we do.
And it starts at the top with Blake Baker. That
dude is an absolute killer bringing pressures. I don't even
know where they're coming from right now. Yeah, they first
third down the game, they bring a corner blitz in
the B gap from the boundary. Are you kidding me?
Guy scraping over the top defensive line. Didn't have the
stats out there, but they made a huge impact of
the game because of the technique that they played with.
About the scheme they played with, we talked about they
played east to west instead of north and south, freeing
up our linebackers and DB's to blitz to get home.
Speaker 2: It was. It was selfless defense because of what you're
talking about, like in your right, like Patrick Payton and
Jack Pivern, they're not going to show up on the statue.
But the job they did to crash down the offense
or to make sure that they were doing their job
to make sure somebody couldn't peel off on whoever was
blitzing Wes Weeks right understood the assignment that he was
going to be a part of a blitz package, that
somebody was going to be looping around, and so it
was him versus the guard, right, and he's like, I'm
going to run through the guard's face.
Speaker 5: Yep. It basically becomes a wedge buster.
Speaker 2: He does.
Speaker 4: I know I'm not the guy that's gonna make this play,
but by god, there's gonna be two guys oftentimes gonna
make the block.
Speaker 2: You tried like you'll initially, but then you're like, I'm
gonna make the play.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: No. He ran through the guard's face and knocked him
back like four yards two or three different times into
the backfield. So whoever was looping around in the game
that they had on could get home free. Like it
was complimentary, like I said, I mean, just selfless. It
was like, Okay, this is to set up my guy,
this is to set up everybody involved. And there's a
lot of atta boys that we can throw around and
we're gonna I mean, yeah, we are certainly gonna get there.
But the one I wanted here in our number one segment,
number one, Jardan Gilbert, because we talked aj Hawsey and
AJ came in and played good, but him being out
in the first half, We're like, oh, this is a
safety game. Like Flynn told us all lead up in
like months, this is a safety safety safety and he's right,
and I'm like, oh, man, all right, what's this gonna
look like. I'll tell you what before the game, I
was telling you a little bit of this. I had
a conversation with Jimbo Fisher before the game. He called me.
He was covering the game and he had Jordan Gilbert
at Texas A and M recruited him out of you
High and it was one I said, coach, I said,
rip the band aid off. I said, what do you
think about this? He said, Look, he said, do you
know how fortunate this situation is the fact that AJ
Halsey's out for the first half and you've got a
guy that has started games in Kyle Field and Tiger
Stadium to line up back there? He said. There might
be some limitations, he said, but you got a guy
that's going to know exactly where to be, and not
many times when you lose somebody like AJ Hassey, all
conference players you bring in, can you throw back there
a senior that has started games at Kyle Field and
Tiger Stadium. He said, he's going to be in the
right spot, he's gonna make some plays and you'll be fine.
I was like, all right, all right, all right, that
makes me feel better about the situation, right, And so
he stepped up and that play that we're talking about
right where Wes Weeks right hits the running back kind
of knocks him off his feet a little bit. Who
cleans him up? It's Jordan Gilbert, right, Clemson hard play
action passed a couple times. They're trying to get that
safety to come running up and so they can hit
the post behind him. Who doesn't bite on it? Who
goes and doubles the post? Jordan Gilbert, Like, there was
a lot of times in that game where he flashed
for me. And thank goodness, LSU had a veteran guy
like that to step up to go into that building,
because imagine, Matt if you had a red shirt freshman
who hadn't really played before. Talented guy, but that's the
first experience that he has. It's a completely different situation
than when you have somebody started at multiple SEC schools.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a man.
Speaker 4: I didn't even think about it that way until you're
talking about the Jimbo conversation here, But like, the guy
played really well, the guy played downhill, and.
Speaker 5: We just talked.
Speaker 4: We keep talking about that first play, like how insignificant
it seems, but it shows the mentality that this defense
is coming into the season with the confidence they're coming
in with and the leadership they have everywhere from Blake
Baker all the way down to what we talked about
like West Weeks being the heart of that defense, and
like they just feed off of each other, like, well
where was that? Where was that play last year? Why
didn't do that last year? Well, it's a different year
like that what we saw now, it's going to be
a challenge to keep that that mojo, that energy up
every single week for an entire season, right because they
brought it and they emptied the tank and they did
it from the jump. And that is what a good team,
good leadership, confidence can do. Is one year you don't
look great, the next year, the same guy can look
a lot better just because just because of an absolute mindset,
absolutely the scheme being absolutely perfect, and yeah, shout out
to him, tip of the cap to him. It was
uh and we're gonna Like you said, we were going
to talk about a lot of different people because there
was a lot of exceptional individual performances. We'll break down
also not the great there were some things. That's first game, Yeah,
first game of the season. There is things to work on.
There's a lot of tape out there to get better
from everywhere, from from Nuts Smyer to the defense to
the coach that to everything.
Speaker 5: There's there's some things that you'd like to add back.
Speaker 4: But look, that's the first game and that was about
as clean up a first game as you can have,
especially from the defensive side of the ball.
Speaker 5: A lot to be excited about. We're fired up.
Speaker 4: I've already started, I've started watching back the tape already
hadn't gotten through the whole thing of the All eleven,
but excited to keep breaking down this film.
Speaker 5: That's all right.
Speaker 2: You're you were off location.
Speaker 5: I was off location. We were you know, family trip,
family vacate, being a glue guy for the fam.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of people take vacation. The first week
of college football it was Labor Day. Yeah, but in
this business, we labor on Labor Day.
Speaker 4: Well yeah, sure, Well, like Labor Day doesn't mean anything
to me because the first like thirty something years of
my life, you know, playing football, didn't really have a
labor day off, so it really it's not like I've
always labored.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: True, but I also have children that have a day
off at school, so you know, they still got to
do something.
Speaker 4: So yeah, we drove in. We left last night, drove in,
got to the house about ten thirty. They tried to
watch a little bit. I watched the TV copy a
lot of the TV copy. Again, hadn't much all of
the All eleven though, so I don't think if I
don't blanked out like during the show watching.
Speaker 5: Yeah, look, I dealt with you during the Twitter fronts.
Speaker 2: It's fun.
Speaker 5: That's a good point.
Speaker 2: I don't think the TV copy does it justice as much.
Now there's some stuff you can take from it, but
just like that what you're talking about, like the end
zone copy of the second player where they try to
run just an inside zone, and that's when that's the
one I put on social media because I was like,
people need to see this, they need to see all
the players doing all the things that they did in
this game, and so excited to continue to break it down.
As we said, we got to give some added boys.
But I do want to hear from the other members
of our show, a Landra and Tate. How we doing,
how are we feeling?
Speaker 6: I mean, cannot be better walking into a Monday one
and oh, for the first time in five.
Speaker 2: Years, first time, first time I've ever known you, and
we've been want to know exactly same thing, first time
I've ever known you that we've been want to know
you know what, I've known you for a long time.
Speaker 6: Some are saying Matt Flynn joined the show. Baseball wins
the National Championship. LSU goes one to oh when's the opener?
Speaker 2: So true and people are talking, people are talking, did
pick Clemson? Ooh, he is rooting hard. Obviously he was.
Speaker 7: Pon Parlay hit that.
Speaker 5: There's a lot of rich listeners out there right now.
Speaker 6: I was sweating the Alabama FSU game. It ended up
being forty eight, so like fairly they.
Speaker 7: Went to victory formation and I was.
Speaker 2: Like, thank you. There's nothing better than when you have
the under and they decide not to score.
Speaker 6: They could have went for the field goal and then
they just took the knee, and.
Speaker 8: I was like, oh, for a while, I'm sitting there
thinking we're gonna have a bad beat because of me.
Speaker 5: I could not get past.
Speaker 2: Forever. And then not only that, not only could they
could they do that? But then the line went all
the way down. You pointed out like it went down
three points. I'm like, man, if we would have waited,
like you could wait, but I'm saying, like we gave
nine and a half and six and a half now
they would have covered this, like, Oh, it's gonna be
the worst.
Speaker 5: What about that?
Speaker 2: We did we ever hit one last year?
Speaker 8: No, we did hitting.
Speaker 5: We had a lot of like three and one weeks.
Speaker 7: Yeah, there's a lot where we probably like the most
in the state of Louisiana.
Speaker 2: I would say, I dare the Southeast region. Let's go
dare you.
Speaker 5: You know what I really want to know.
Speaker 4: So when we come back from break, I want to
hear your just point of view. You were boots on
the ground in the tiny, fake ass death Valley. I
want to hear like how it was, what the energy was, like,
does it deserve the name?
Speaker 5: I want to hear all.
Speaker 7: This that's stupid bus and that's stupid.
Speaker 5: Little we'll talk.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 5: The helmets off on the bus.
Speaker 2: There's a lot. There's a lot to get.
Speaker 8: To before before we break a longer, shouted out Flynn
for his good luck charm. Certainly, I'd also want to
give a huge thank you to mel Kiper and Paul
Fine Baumber.
Speaker 5: You guys are never right.
Speaker 8: And you both picked Clemson, so I do appreciate that.
Speaker 2: Mel Haul Greenie, my boy Stanford, Steve, our coach Staban.
Speaker 5: There was one back of fee somebody on the station.
Speaker 2: Somebody on this station that does the show from three
to six t. I'm pretty sure t Bob pick Clemson.
I know, I don't know if he was trying to
like do the b rapid thing where he's like talking
so nice about that because that's kind of what he loves. Yeah, yeah,
yeah for sure. Yeah either way, you.
Speaker 5: Know you Melody.
Speaker 8: When I saw a pregame mel Kiper and Paul Fine
bomb pick Clemson, I knew it was gonna be okay.
Speaker 5: Thank you for your service, gentlemen.
Speaker 6: January twentieth, twenty twenty five. Somebody in this room was
doubting that LSU was going to beat cleansing, and I
was like, no, LSU will beat cleansing, and everybody was like,
clip it.
Speaker 7: I didn't clip it.
Speaker 2: I thought you were about to drop it. I was like, oh,
she about to drop it. She about to do stoe
cold breaking glass kicking ass.
Speaker 7: She was gonna Like I said it, I believe it.
This whole room knew it except for one person.
Speaker 4: You know, he didn't pick Lsu as well? What you
know did pick Lsu? Who the man? The myth? Mister
Lee Court?
Speaker 5: That's right? He went.
Speaker 2: Was he the only little game day.
Speaker 5: Watch on Game Day?
Speaker 8: Yes, he was perfect in his pick Florida State. Only
one that picked Florida State. Every team he played for
and coach for was one on Saturday as.
Speaker 4: Well, and they also picked lu to win the Natty.
He did, Derek that he did walk off. All right,
we got a lot to get to it. We'll take
a break more OTV on the other side, off the bench.

Speaker 5: What we got? I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know the song, but I do the theme.
Speaker 5: I do pick the theme.
Speaker 2: Want you tell the people what the theme is.
Speaker 5: God, I was just trying to figure the name of
the song.
Speaker 7: It's all the Stars, all right.
Speaker 5: Our theme is today.
Speaker 4: Tell them we're gonna be playing songs all with the
name star and or star part of the chorus, because,
by God, Harold Perkins, you're a beautiful star.
Speaker 5: Yeah he is.
Speaker 4: I know there's been a lot of a lot of conversation,
a lot of debate about the star position.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 4: And I still don't think it's a real position. I
still just think it's a linebacker. But by God, you're
the the greatest star I've ever seen in my life.
Speaker 5: Here you go.
Speaker 4: You did it, and I'm almost almost a believer. And
I think that maybe star isn't a real position. It's
more of a mindset. You're gonna play linebacker. And I
think that really what they're just saying is star. It
just is a nice way of saying you are a
B m F. IT'SES stand for you can figure it out.
It stands for star. Yeah, so today we're gonna listen
to a lot of Star music. I don't stand corrected,
and I'm not wrong because it's not a real position.
It is a mindset and you did it. There are
one of one. There's one star out there and you
are at Harold. That is that god. He played good
and he's strong and he's good. I mean, it's got
good football like Q and instincts.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's no I'm gonna say this and we're
gonna move on, and let's dost. Let's don't harp on it. Okay,
there we go. Please if this if Blake was here
two years ago, No, no, don't.
Speaker 7: I can't do this.
Speaker 2: Can just imagine.
Speaker 5: I don't want to do this.
Speaker 7: I know it was like I think about it on
the regular.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're having just say it too, I know it.
Speaker 4: But yes, this is one of those things you say
when we only have like like a thirty second segment
at the second hour, you don't say it.
Speaker 2: All right, all right, all right, all right, I'll get
back to your question. Uh, but let's go ahead and
get this show started.

which you should don't.
Speaker 5: Apologize ever for it.
Speaker 4: If you watch the game and you were running around
doing stress push ups in your hotel room like I was,
and maybe you sweated, a little bit, well go figure
it out. Go get hydrated, get vitamins right there, go
flow IV.
Speaker 2: All right, so you were asking me boots on the
ground give a little report there.
Speaker 5: How amazing it was, what the energy levels wrong?
Speaker 2: So we stayed in Greenville, Greenville. I don't know they
go Ville or Ville.
Speaker 7: You know South Carolina.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's where I was born. Okay, is it Ville Orville?
I mean you don't know, because like at Startville, Greenville, Greenville,
I'm a redneck. I say Greenville. Either way, that's where
we stayed. It's like over an hour away from Clemson.
I think there's you know, a lot of places to stay.
I was talking with someone former NFL or sorry, former
Tigers now in the NFL, and he's like, man, I
pay nine hundred dollars for this Holiday Inn and Clemson
per night. You know it's one of those places. They
didn't have a lot of express right. He didn't say express,
he said holiday Inn. I'm like, nine hundred dollars. I
think you got money, uh for Holiday Inn. So it's tiny, right,
A very very I mean the drive from Greenville down
to Clemson, I mean you're going through just back roads
and a lot of woods. So I didn't get to
like experience like I had plans, like I was going
to go meet some people for dinner and Clemson I'm like,
what we're saying in Greenville like, and they're like, that's
that's a that's a that's a track, Like you you
don't just like drive back and forth and oh really
So I didn't get to experience that like Friday the
night before, but I did get there early because you know,
so obviously covered. You know, the SEC played in the SEC.
And then for serious exem they usually send me like
I'm usually Big ten or Big twelve. It's kind of
like mostly Big ten, some Big twelve. No a CC
because it's it's a complete blind spot for me. Uh
so first time there. If you're an LSU fan that's
been to a couple of road games, you're trying to
get me to compare it to a stadium. It's very
much like Old Miss, like the way the end zone
was and they're one closed in end zone and it's
a little bit bigger. But it had some Old Miss vibes.
Speaker 5: I feel like Clemson has some Old Miss vibes.
Speaker 2: Anyway, Yeah it did.
Speaker 5: It is not just a stadium.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it did for sure. Uh pre game it
was okay. They looked they brought like every former NFL
guy that they possibly could back to the game. I
had a bunch they had like fifteen deep.
Speaker 5: Was Deshaun Watson there, uh.
Speaker 2: No, ye hot though it was a guest captain him
and Shack Austin Busy. I didn't see Charlie Whitehurst. I
would have been have been kind of cool seeing. But
I'm looking at im Jesus, yeah, my guy, which I
gotta talk to trash to. I'm not trying to like
just hate on because we won the game or whatever, y'all.
Don't y'all just don't ever need to compare the two
again and again. Like I'm not saying that like lsu guy,
Like it was good. It was good.
Speaker 5: It's good.
Speaker 2: At the pregame atmosphere, I'm like, ok yeah, okay, all right,
But like it was an open air booth. That's probably
why I sound awful today. Just went just continuing into
the booth. But like we had a group like literally
right in front of us, and I could hear their
conversation during the game, you know what I mean. So
like at times it was okay, but like there was
no like they were playing music that nobody knew the
words too. There was no in between play like juice
being had. There was no time out, juice being had
its acc game. I don't know, I don't have any
really thing to compare that to, Like it's not it's
not as good as like Willie b for South Carolina.
It's not Jerdan Hare for sure, it's not displaced, it's
not Kyle Field, it's not the swamp. It was it
was good. It was like good it.
Speaker 4: Would you say if it's even like a middle of
the road sec.
Speaker 2: That's kind of what I'm getting.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, a little bit above old because the scenes
were really good on television, like before the game, Like
even though I know we're the bust, thing is really
dumb and they're like having been all dressed out in
the bus, but like the overhead like drone scenes from
above the crowd. I mean, it's just a really good
time at night. It was beautiful, Like it looked really good.
The bus is actually pulling up to the stadium was
a cool shot. Was like watching it from television. It
was a cool to me, cool shot and it looked good.
But I know that not all things are reality like
that that you see on television. So that's why I
kind of want to know, like did they live up
to it? Is it truly baby Death Valley or do
they just need to get rid of the name totally.
Speaker 2: I had a sign Clemson welcomed you to Death Valley,
and even that felt well, it's like we would like
that's like, oh no, like the way the wording was,
I don't know, it sounds polite. It was very polite,
like their fans weren't. Their fans were actually kind of great.
They're very nice, nice person.
Speaker 5: You still barking someone's face.
Speaker 2: It was a lot of like vile actions there, but
l SU handled that crowd.
Speaker 4: So they don't care nothing vile, not passionate enough.
Speaker 2: So the old like the only the only pre snap
stuff that LSU had, Like there was never like you
couldn't communicate. They had the situation where you had a
receiver just forgot completely forgot that when he was on
the ball to step back, put the other guy on
the line and go in motion. That was one and
then there was you know, two receivers that were trying
to decide who was going to get on the ball
off the ball, and thus matter called a time out.
But that was just the receivers like in that situation.
That wasn't all week one. Yeah, that wasn't because of
the volume of the crowd.
Speaker 4: No, because you could almost hear the volume of Brian
Kelly's voice from the sideline, So you know that the
crowd noise wasn't that bad.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I could.
Speaker 4: Like watching the game, I saw no communication. I saw
not a lot of situations where he was having a
run and talk to each individual person on the line
to like re emphasize a check that he was making
or something like that. And they did a lot of checking,
which to me like signifies like we kind of know
what Clemson stadium like, we like we were not that
nervous about the crowd.
Speaker 5: Noise because they did do a lot of checks. Yeah,
Like there was a.
Speaker 2: Some coaches on that staff that have certainly been there
for big games. I mean Brian Kelly's been there. Twenty
fifteen was a big game between Clem's in a Notre Dame.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they have been there for a lot of times.
Speaker 4: Like if you're going into a situation where there is
an extreme amount of crowd noise and you think the
communication is going to be an issue, like you don't
do like you still have a lot of check with
me and a lot of flips and alerts but there
was multiple times where Nuts was checking it twice before
the line of scrimmage. So he would go up to
the line of scrimmage and he would make an adjustment.
Then the defense would throw their hands up and do
a hands adjustment, whatever their hands is, and then that's
would make another adjustment. Yeah, like that doesn't happen. That's
not even in the game plan, not even an option,
right if a team's coming into the real death out right,
you know what I mean? So like I think that
they knew going into the game based on kind of
the amount of pre snap adjustments that they were doing.
That's why I had no issue hearing this noise right here.
Speaker 2: It's a good point, how about I mean, gosh, we're
thirty four minutes in, just real quick. Okay, I'll go
over my biggest takeaways from film. But let's go ahead.
Let's try to have some clock integrity. I know it
doesn't happen very often. Here we'll get the biggest takeaways
because a unit that you just mentioned hasn't gotten mentioned yet,

Speaker 5: That's star out there.
Speaker 2: All right, Welcome back O TV one, O four five. Yes,
Ben baton Rouge after rewatching LU and Clemson. My biggest
takeaways for the game, I got a quick list here.
Aaron Anderson is a dog. There's a meathead mentality on defense.
There's way more diversity in the run game. We mentioned
Jordan Gilbert certainly stepped up. Montsory Delaine could be the
difference in your playoff hopes. Harrold Perkins Junior is back.
And then the offensive line gave up one sack all
game two All American defensive linemen that we heard about
for six months that we were told we're gonna have
seventeen sacks apiece in this game. Also, you bring in
like literally like your only transfer you've ever brought in
as an edge rusher. One of the highest rate of
guys in the transfer portal, and you don't bring transfers
in and you went and got an edge rusher and
this makeshift LSU offensive line that everybody's like, I don't know,
I'm going to camp. I don't know going to camp
and they're not blocking them. Great because I'm going to camp.
Turns out they found the five guys pretty damn good together.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 2: It was a perfect. No, it wasn't perfect. Did Nusmeyer
help them out a couple of times? Yes, what a
great quarterback does. A great quarterback realizes where you know
he's going to be pressured, and he finds a window
and sure he's rolling to his right, throws across his
body and puts it right on Kyle Parker's chest.
Speaker 4: And he also helped out the line last year, who
the best in the past protection.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like I'm.
Speaker 2: Going to camp there, just that'll look great. It's like
they found five guys actually found.
Speaker 5: Right, Oh my god, so I haint the one on one.
Speaker 2: I mean the communication that they had was great. I
think their individual effort was great. I thought they played
well off each other. And again it wasn't.
Speaker 4: Perfect, but even the sact that that was giving up.
It was more of a coverage situation where he got
out of the pocket, and it.
Speaker 2: Was a game too that the tackle left just a
little too soon. He thought, He's like, Okay, that guy's
gonna keep washing down and he left and then the
game kind of got him a little bit.
Speaker 5: And you know He'sio's not that fast, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he did. He did pull his own he did.
He got a first down. He was nervous about it too. Yeah,
I'll tell you why. We're pretty fast though.
Speaker 4: So yeah, I know we kind of were we see squirrels.
But yes, he did pull his own read when Yeah,
just people talked about it at nauseum last year about
and he pulled his own read. Well, yeah he can
pull it. He can also check to it so he
can pull it. And I was I told, I told
Lacy after it happened, I was like, he's nervous. He
was nervous before he pulled that. You know how I
can tell because they zoomed in on his face after
he made the check and he had his mouthpiece in
his in his face mask. He forgot to he forgot
to put the mouthpiece in, and I was like, you know,
what the first when we were playing. I remember there
was one drive, like the first drive of the National Championship.
I had a mouthpiece in my my face masks the
entire drive because I was nervous, right, I was like, yeah,
he was nervous before that. For sure, he's that he's
going to put all these critics to bags. He's about
to pull it.
Speaker 5: He did.
Speaker 2: I burst down. It was a great, great play. I
mean that throw that he had when he's rolling to
his right and throws it across his body. I saw
the broadcast. I was like, I don't know, there's anybody
else that can do that.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't, I don't, I said Steven Milom. Maybe as
he's filled in the ground ball going to his right
and throwing it across the dom.
Speaker 4: Not in college button, there's no there's nobody that has
in college football that has the arm talent from like No,
there's a lot of people, don't get me wrong. There's
a lot of people that can make all the throws
in are good, but from any angle, Yeah, no matter
what his lower body's doing, he's he's a great We're
talking when we're talking about like people that are really
good arm talent and play the quarterback position well from
anywhere on the talent too, a little bit, yes, arm talent,
hand talent, it's kind of all the same thing a
little bit. But like he can make any throw and
it doesn't matter what his lower body is doing. But
he has really great separation of the upper body, so
the torso in the upper body, so like it doesn't
matter where his feet are, he can he has the
ability to close his left shoulder down, get his right
to right hip to the target, and get his elbow
in this position where it's it looks the same no
matter where his lower body is. He can make all
the throws that way. So a lot of guys, a
lot of guys can't. Like to me, club Nick's a
guy that everything's got to kind of be lined up
perfectly right now. Really good player, but like everything's got
he doesn't have that innate ability to make any throw
no matter where, like which angle, which where his uh?
Speaker 2: And I don't really like, I don't I don't know
the position even close to you, dude, I can't throw
a football grace. Why never, Let me throw a half back,
which still be a big old hands. But on that play,
specifically and maybe we can Gosh, I wish i'd brought
an ipower, I could have screen record, but to have
no base he really didn't. He didn't have any bass,
like he didn't really have like his foot really in
the ground, and just to never really slow down and
just throw. And then the placement because you had so
you had a safety in the end zone, right, and
then you had a trailer. So you can't throw it
at Kyle Parker. You gotta throw it before park You
gotta lead him, but you can't lead him enough because
if you do, there's that safety. It's gonna come either
you know, make Cal Parker eat out of a straw
or he's going to intercept the football and so that
that might not be noticed watching it in real time,
but that's safety right there. And then having that trailer
that makes a throw even more impressive to me because
he understood I can't lead him too much. I've got
to lead him though, because if I don't, it's gonna
be on his back shoulder, balls up in the air.
Who knows what's gonna literally let him and put the
ball right on the one and two.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And it's also one of those as a quarterback
as a if you're a coach out there, you understand this,
if you ever coached football at all. It's like one
of those no, no, no way to go type throws.
Speaker 5: As well.
Speaker 4: One of the cardinal rules of quarterbacks always is never
throw late over the middle. That certainly was late over
the middle, and if you do it, you better be right. Yeah,
and he certainly was right. And it's one of the
things that's impressed me about him ever since he got
to LSU was the ability to see the field like
he can. He's got great vision, he always has. He
doesn't like quarterbacks when they get a lot of quarterbacks
in college and young quarterbacks that get real tunnel vision
because they're thinking about so much. They're thinking, so they
see one one quarter of the field, or one half
of the field, or one eighth of the field, whatever
it is, depending on how good you are and how
much you can see. But he's always been able to
see with his peripherals really well and diagnose body language
of defenders really well. Now there's mistakes that come with that,
and you get better at it, but he's always been
able to read the leverage and the body language of
defenders and where they can cover and how fast the
angles and the speed of which DB's are closing in.
Speaker 5: And what you can't.
Speaker 4: Coach is the ability to process that really fast and
put that signal to the old right shoulder and get
the ball out quick enough to do it instead of
thinking about it for one split second. More So, if
he doesn't see ball, hit ball, like right there, he
doesn't get completed. So it's a really impressive throw. But
certainly if you've coached football, it was like no, no, no, no, no, no, okay,
way to go, way to go. Good job, good throw,
good play.
Speaker 2: Because he had so he had Nick Anderson in front
of Hey, we can't this little this is not gonna
connect if I connected to my surface.
Speaker 5: Is it might?
Speaker 6: It might?
Speaker 5: We'll see it might. Well, maybe we'll try Friday.
Speaker 2: We'll see lee. I mean, if you if you have
the like, if you have it, why does it Okay,
we'll try it. We'll try it, because like I think
we want to show you that he had Nick Anderson
in front of him, but he also had one of
the linebackers who was like closing down on him, and
so if you watch the end zone copy, you might
be like, why didn't he try to force it maybe
a little bit too, because one there was a defender
behind Nick Anderson that could have tit the ball. But also,
and you know this, like the linebacker who's pressuring you
right now, if you try to find an angle, he
might tip it because he's right in your face.
Speaker 4: And then he's got a very quick delivery too, So
it's hard for a defender closing in at full speed
at the quarterback. If you have a quick delivery, you
could tell their hands go up late, like if he
has more of an elongated like dropping the ball down
and he has to get his body and his shoulder
perfectly aligned like that. All is like a tell that
you're about to throw it. He runs and he's just
ball up, ball out. Yeah, And it's hard, like if
you're running full speed, like they react to it, they
just react late to it.
Speaker 2: All right, we will take a break. Maybe we'll try
this and see if it actually works today, and we'll
have that for you when we come back here on
Oh t be off the bench, all right. It is
always a great time to go for dose. I am
sure there was a lot of you listening that went
for dose a couple of times watching LSU and Clemson,
and well, I mean think about the weather starting to
change a little bit. Think about this weekend, right, you
got Louisiana Tech coming to town, got an in state school,
you got your first game in Tiger Stadium coming up
this weekend after a massive road wind. When you're packing
the tailgate, when you're putting the tent and a t
and the generator in the car, make sure you put
that ice chest full of ice cold those sekis in
because there is no better beard tailgate with than nose sekis.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: After the game, I think all of us felt like
maybe just grabbing a couple of do secis, shaking them
up and just popping them and let them spray everywhere
because we wanted to celebrate. And what better way to
celebrate than with the dose skies, the cold delicious Mexican lagger. Oh,
how about the Amber especial, whatever it is. Make sure
when it's that time to delete a few pops, make
sure those seconds go for those drink responsible Iben.
