1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:00,560 Speaker 1: Let's go. 2 00:00:01,439 --> 00:00:04,280 Speaker 2: I'll start to you to present off the Bench with 3 00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:08,759 Jacob Hester and T Bob Abert. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, 4 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,919 Off the Bench with Jacob Hester and T Bob Abert. 5 00:00:12,519 --> 00:00:13,560 Speaker 3: I got to come off the pitch. 6 00:00:13,759 --> 00:00:16,920 Speaker 2: Now here's Jacob Hester and T Bob Abert. 7 00:00:28,399 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 1: Welcome. 8 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,399 Speaker 4: In our number two Monday edition of Off the Bench, 9 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,240 Taylor Sharp here with the filling in for Jacob Hester 10 00:00:34,439 --> 00:00:36,600 and T Bob a bear. We got a Landra Villarrial, 11 00:00:36,679 --> 00:00:38,920 we got Cassie Spizzelli, and we were rocking and rolling 12 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:44,960 here on this Monday morning. A lot of negative news 13 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,799 and our number one we're gonna try to be a 14 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,200 little bit more positive here in the hour number two. 15 00:00:51,679 --> 00:00:54,240 Want to start this hour by Riekevn. That l s 16 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,359 U Spring Scrimmage, if you want to call it that. 17 00:00:56,479 --> 00:00:59,079 It was essentially just an open practice where fans could 18 00:00:59,119 --> 00:01:00,679 go and then they had of a meet and greed 19 00:01:00,679 --> 00:01:02,200 where players signed autographs after. 20 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,959 Speaker 1: But well we'll go ahead and call it the Spring Scrimmage. 21 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,400 Speaker 4: If you're looking for like a full play by play breakdown, 22 00:01:08,439 --> 00:01:11,640 Matt Moscona has a really good ride up on louisianasports 23 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,599 dot Net. Haunt Palmer put out one a little bit 24 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,319 later kind of given his overall thoughts on maybe what 25 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,599 this offense is going to be centered around based on 26 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,280 what they have seen during spring. You know, it sucks, 27 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,680 like normally I go out there a lot during fall 28 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,640 practice because I got to do like post practice interviews 29 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,560 and all that. They practiced at like eight am and 30 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,879 they're done at nine to forty five, so it's really 31 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:33,200 hard for all of us to get out there. But 32 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,159 Matt and Hunt they have done a great job all 33 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,239 spring long of covering that. So kind of how the 34 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,640 scrimmage worked. They did a full scrimmage. You know, the 35 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,879 first offense started at their own thirty five yard line. 36 00:01:43,879 --> 00:01:46,599 It was a full tackle, and then they did a 37 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:51,239 two minute offense punt team, goal line, field goal unit 38 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,319 seven on seven red zone offense. That's kind of how 39 00:01:54,319 --> 00:01:56,799 the scrimmage broke down. And again Matt has like a 40 00:01:56,799 --> 00:02:00,319 play by play breakdown of what occurred in that. I 41 00:02:00,359 --> 00:02:05,480 just have a few overarching thoughts. Shocker, Lsu is loaded 42 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,800 at the wide receiver position. If you were at the scrimmage, 43 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,400 you saw that. You go back and look, Barrion Brown 44 00:02:12,479 --> 00:02:15,280 made a lot of nice plays, whether it was from 45 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,719 Nussmeyer or Michael van Buren. Kyle Parker stood out. He 46 00:02:18,759 --> 00:02:21,199 caught a touchdown pass from Van Buren. That was Van 47 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,199 Buren's best pass of the day. It was during red 48 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,680 zone period. He split the corner in the safety, fired 49 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,639 one in there to Kyle Parker, parked at a nice 50 00:02:28,719 --> 00:02:31,520 job holding on to it. Nick Anderson ran some really 51 00:02:31,599 --> 00:02:34,080 nice routes. He's a guy that's six foot five. He's 52 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,319 a guy that I've been high on since he got 53 00:02:36,319 --> 00:02:39,319 the campus, mainly because you don't have anybody else like 54 00:02:39,479 --> 00:02:41,680 a Nick Anderson. He is a guy who six four 55 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,680 six five. I mean, you have traded as green, but 56 00:02:43,719 --> 00:02:47,199 I'm talking pure wide receiver, gonna line up out wide 57 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,800 every single play. You don't have a guy like that 58 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,439 outside of Nick Anderson. Van Buren missed him on a 59 00:02:53,439 --> 00:02:55,680 few throws. There was one deep one down the sidelines 60 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,520 where if Nick Anderson catches that ball, it's likely a touchdown. 61 00:02:58,599 --> 00:03:00,759 Van Buren just sailed on him a little. We'll get 62 00:03:00,759 --> 00:03:05,000 to him a little bit later on. But Xavion Thomas 63 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:06,960 was really good. He is going to be used in 64 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,319 a variety of ways. You saw this a little bit 65 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:14,240 last year. If you remember last year. Sometimes through some 66 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,080 of the games, even the opening game of the year 67 00:03:16,599 --> 00:03:19,919 against USC the line save on Thomas up in the 68 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,280 backfield and they'll they'll hand it off to him. Savion 69 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,360 Thomas scored on an end to round in that scrimmage 70 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,000 guy in the red zone period on Saturday. He caught 71 00:03:29,039 --> 00:03:30,800 some nice balls as well. He is going to be 72 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,479 a part of this offense. Now, is he going to 73 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,439 be in every down wide receiver? No, and I think 74 00:03:35,439 --> 00:03:38,759 he's going to be more of your gadget guy. Of course, 75 00:03:38,759 --> 00:03:41,080 we know about Aaron Anderson. I mean Aaron Anderson is 76 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,840 your leading returning receiver from a year ago in terms 77 00:03:43,879 --> 00:03:46,800 of yards. I mean we talked about Kyraen Lacy earlier. 78 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,520 He had about eight ninety five. Aaron Anderson was a 79 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,319 little under one thousand yards. I mean he had a 80 00:03:52,319 --> 00:03:54,840 lot better season than a lot of people realize because 81 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,800 when he caught on like game four, game five of 82 00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,319 the season, I mean, he was the go to guy 83 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,080 then on out. I don't think much of that is 84 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:06,159 going to change. But look, we know the offense is good, right, 85 00:04:06,159 --> 00:04:10,000 I mean we know this offense. Tebuf talks about it 86 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,400 all the time. The combination of the first offense and 87 00:04:14,479 --> 00:04:19,040 the second offense, O line quarterbacks skill positions is as 88 00:04:19,079 --> 00:04:20,040 good as any in the country. 89 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:21,519 Speaker 1: Because let's look at it, like, let's. 90 00:04:21,319 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 4: Say your starters, the starters in spring right now have 91 00:04:24,399 --> 00:04:28,240 been your returning guys. So let's say Chris Hilton, Aaron 92 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,000 Anderson Xavion Thomas are your three starting receivers. Just for 93 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,199 arguments it, do I think it's going to necessarily shake 94 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,160 out like that, No, because I think all these guys 95 00:04:36,199 --> 00:04:37,800 are going to mix and match depending on the game. 96 00:04:38,319 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 1: Okay, so those are your first three. 97 00:04:40,079 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 4: In the second group, you got Barryon Brown, Nick Anderson, 98 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,480 Kyle Parker, and that's six really good receivers. You got 99 00:04:47,519 --> 00:04:50,720 Bower Sharp and trade Has Green at tight end. Nuss 100 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,399 is one of the best quarterbacks, maybe the best quarterback 101 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,439 in all of college football, returning for this season. We 102 00:04:57,519 --> 00:04:59,319 know what Cayden Durham can do. I'll get to him 103 00:04:59,319 --> 00:05:02,439 in a minute. He actually did not practice. But then 104 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,439 behind him you got to Caleb Jackson. You got a 105 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,439 Harlan Berry, Michael van Buren. I know he was thrown 106 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,439 in there because of injury and there were some mixed 107 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,319 reviews on him, but this is a guy that was 108 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:16,920 still a starter in the SEC last season. He is 109 00:05:16,959 --> 00:05:21,519 your backup quarterback now. And then we know about the 110 00:05:21,519 --> 00:05:24,439 O line rotations. Whether it's a DJ Chester, Braylan Moore 111 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,680 at center, you got Josh Thompson. Is he going to 112 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,120 be in the starting lineup? Is he going to be 113 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,480 that swing player coming off the bench. I mean, you're 114 00:05:31,519 --> 00:05:35,079 not proven on the offensive line as far as returning production, 115 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,399 but I think there's a lot of talent there. I 116 00:05:37,399 --> 00:05:40,839 think you're actually deeper maybe talent wise than a lot 117 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,800 of people realize. So we know this offense is going 118 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,240 to be good. I want to focus on the defense 119 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,959 a little bit because I think this cornerback room in 120 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,040 particular is going to be a lot better than it 121 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,120 was last season. PJ Woodland had an incredible diving interception 122 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,319 on a pass from Knolt Smyer, and. 123 00:05:59,319 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 1: I get it. 124 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 4: Peop are gonna say, oh, well, that's typical dawsm are 125 00:06:01,959 --> 00:06:03,839 trying to fit the ball somewhere where he can't fit it. 126 00:06:03,879 --> 00:06:06,199 Speaker 1: No, I mean this ball looked like it was in 127 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:07,079 a safe spot. PJ. 128 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,319 Speaker 4: Woodland dives out for it, makes a grab, really nice play. 129 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,079 That was the play off the day on defense in 130 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:16,199 my opinion DJ Pickett. Look, he got beat a few times, 131 00:06:16,399 --> 00:06:18,680 but he showed some flashes. He looked like a freshman 132 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,480 out there at times, but at times you saw Okay. 133 00:06:21,519 --> 00:06:23,240 I get why he was a five star. I get 134 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,680 why he was the number one dB in high school 135 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:26,480 football last year. 136 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 1: I get it. 137 00:06:28,399 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 4: You can see the hype that's going to come with reps. 138 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,000 DJ Pickett is as talented as anybody on this team. 139 00:06:34,439 --> 00:06:38,519 Mansord Delane, whether it's been in spring practices, the spring 140 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,439 scrimmage everyone was allowed to go to on Saturday, Mansord 141 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,600 Delane is all over the field. There is a spot 142 00:06:43,639 --> 00:06:45,399 for him on this team. I think he's going to 143 00:06:45,399 --> 00:06:49,079 be a starter on this team somewhere. Look, Perkins is 144 00:06:49,079 --> 00:06:52,480 supposed to play nickel. Can you move Mansword Delaye to safety? 145 00:06:52,519 --> 00:06:54,519 Is he going to grab one of those outside corner spots. 146 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,439 I don't think it matters. Mansword de Lane has been 147 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,600 really good on this team so far. In the sprint 148 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,160 and then Stamps kind of the forgotten guy, the guy 149 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,959 that's started pretty much every game for you a year ago, 150 00:07:07,079 --> 00:07:09,079 and I get it. All the hype was around Zie 151 00:07:09,079 --> 00:07:11,759 Alexander because he was that dominant shutdown corner. I thought 152 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,639 Stamps did some nice things last year. At times he struggled, 153 00:07:14,639 --> 00:07:16,160 but at times, I mean he came up with plays 154 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,319 for you. It's a guy that at least starting an 155 00:07:18,319 --> 00:07:21,560 experience at Lshue wise, he is by far your most 156 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,680 experienced player. He made some plays. I thought he looked 157 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,839 really good. So, I mean the DB's as a whole 158 00:07:29,319 --> 00:07:30,480 safeties were okay safeties. 159 00:07:30,519 --> 00:07:31,279 Speaker 1: It was like it was one of. 160 00:07:31,199 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 4: Those situations where they didn't flash, but they didn't look 161 00:07:36,079 --> 00:07:40,399 disastrous either. And in a spring scrimmage when you're breaking 162 00:07:40,439 --> 00:07:42,480 in a lot of new guys, I'm okay with that. 163 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,399 If the safeties don't stand out negatively, I'm good with it. 164 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,680 They don't necessarily have to flash and make a huge 165 00:07:48,759 --> 00:07:50,680 play because I think the corners are going to do 166 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,839 that for you. If you can just not get beat 167 00:07:54,879 --> 00:07:56,519 deep as a safety, come up, make the play when 168 00:07:56,519 --> 00:07:58,639 you're supposed to do, I'm good with because that's better 169 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:04,079 than what we've seen the last two to three. A 170 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,040 player I want to highlight though, is is Caleb Jackson. 171 00:08:07,839 --> 00:08:11,040 He got a heavy workload and he performed well. Now 172 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,480 the heavy workload, Caden Durham did not practice in that scrimmage. 173 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,759 There are reports that some saw him on the sidelines. 174 00:08:16,759 --> 00:08:19,480 It doesn't appear to be anything serious. I mean, it 175 00:08:19,519 --> 00:08:22,160 could just be one of those precautionary thing. We know 176 00:08:22,199 --> 00:08:24,079 what Caden Durham can do, right, I mean, he's going 177 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,439 to be your starter coming into this season. I think 178 00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:28,079 he's one of the best backs in the SEC. I 179 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,439 think he showed that last year. But Caleb Jackson got 180 00:08:31,439 --> 00:08:33,279 a lot of run. I mean, just look, so Matt 181 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,399 has that that Playboy play breakdown I told you about 182 00:08:35,399 --> 00:08:38,799 on louisianasports dot Net. When you go into the full 183 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,000 scrimmage period, Caleb Jackson got the start over Harlem Berry. 184 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,440 First and ten, Caleb Jackson for nine yards, Second and one, 185 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,960 Caleb Jackson for six yards. Nos throws an incompletion. What 186 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,639 do they do on second and ten? They go back 187 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,639 to Jackson for a short game, Then you throw some 188 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:58,000 balls around and then the second series your two's come in. 189 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,879 But then in the two at offense, you throw a 190 00:09:02,919 --> 00:09:05,759 screen pass to Caleb Jackson, something we didn't see last year. 191 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:07,639 Not a lot of passes to the running backs out 192 00:09:07,639 --> 00:09:09,159 of the backfield. And when you had it, it was 193 00:09:09,279 --> 00:09:12,159 likely Cayden Durham, Caleb Jackson really didn't get a lot 194 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,399 of run this past season, and a lot of that 195 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,200 was because people said, Okay, well he can't catch the 196 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,200 ball out of the backfield. He's not a great pass blocker. 197 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:20,919 He caught the ball out of the backfield. 198 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 2: Well. 199 00:09:21,159 --> 00:09:23,919 Speaker 4: On Saturday, he caught a few passes out of the backfield. 200 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,360 And I'm glad to see that because you know, I 201 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,679 set up here a few weeks back. I don't remember 202 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:29,759 if it was on this show or when I was 203 00:09:29,799 --> 00:09:32,919 filling in for Hunt Palmer, and I said, as talented 204 00:09:32,919 --> 00:09:35,120 as Caleb Jackson is, I think he could potentially be 205 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:41,279 a transfer risk. And it made sense at the time because, look, 206 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,440 you have Cayden Durham. He passed up Caleb Jackson last season. 207 00:09:44,519 --> 00:09:46,039 Kaden Durham is gonna be your number one. There's no 208 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:50,159 question about Harlan Berry's coming in. He looked explosive on Saturday. 209 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,279 He had a good game. But you have Harlan Berry 210 00:09:53,279 --> 00:09:55,120 coming in. He was a number one running back in 211 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:56,039 high school football. 212 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:57,559 Speaker 1: If JT. 213 00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 4: Lindsay coming in, he's not here yet, but he's coming 214 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:03,559 in the fall. I just looked at it as if 215 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,960 Harlem Barry can pass up Caleb Jackson in the spring. 216 00:10:07,159 --> 00:10:11,799 Jackson's already behind Caden Durham. He knows JT. Lindsey's coming 217 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,799 in in the fall. Would he consider other options and 218 00:10:15,919 --> 00:10:18,480 he may still do that. I'm not saying he will 219 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,440 or he won't. That was just a thought that was 220 00:10:20,519 --> 00:10:23,440 going through my head. If the scrimmage is any indication 221 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,399 they're gonna use Caleb Jackson a lot. Now, again, I 222 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,559 get it, Kaden Durham wasn't there, but I mean Caleb 223 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,720 Jackson got a heavy workload. That scrimmage was a time 224 00:10:33,759 --> 00:10:36,120 where they could have thrown Harlan Berry in there and 225 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,000 given him reps, but they didn't. They went with Caleb Jackson. 226 00:10:39,799 --> 00:10:43,279 That's any indication Cayden Durham, No, Caden Durham. Caleb Jackson 227 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:44,960 is going to have a role on this football team, 228 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,039 which is good. You're going to need a guy like that, 229 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,200 Barry Lindsey. They're on the smaller side. I mean, Cayden 230 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,559 Durham's not huge either. Caleb Jackson's that one guy who's 231 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,480 that big body back if you need short yardage. Maybe 232 00:10:57,519 --> 00:10:59,240 that's a role he can carve out in the fall. 233 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,559 I hope he sticks around. I think there's a chance 234 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:10,799 he does now. Overall takeaways of this scrimmage, though, the 235 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,960 playmakers on offense top to bottom are as good as 236 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,200 anyone in this conference. Again, they don't have a lot 237 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,679 of returning production outside of an Aaron Anderson and a 238 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:26,200 Caden Durham. But top to bottom, talent wise ones and twos, 239 00:11:26,799 --> 00:11:29,519 I think this team's as good as anybody in the SEC. 240 00:11:29,639 --> 00:11:34,039 As for ast offensive playmakers and the dB room, I'll 241 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:35,840 keep going back to it. They should be a lot better. 242 00:11:35,879 --> 00:11:39,080 Safety is still as slight concern. However, they didn't look 243 00:11:39,159 --> 00:11:42,320 disastrous on Saturday, but that dB room made a lot 244 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,679 of plays. And again, you're going against Garrett nol Smeier, 245 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,840 You're going against Michael van Buren, You're going against guys 246 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,679 that have started games in the SEZ. He's still performed 247 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,200 well because I get it, man Sword delaying. He's new 248 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,039 to this team. He started a bunch of games at 249 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:59,320 Virginia Tech. DJ Pickett comes in, has no experience, but 250 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,320 you know how talent he is. And then Ashton's stamps. 251 00:12:02,399 --> 00:12:04,320 Some people may feel a certain type of way about him, 252 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:05,799 but the fact of the matter is he's played a 253 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:07,440 lot of games. His first two years here. He's your 254 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,759 most experienced guy, at least under Brian Kelly. You have 255 00:12:10,799 --> 00:12:12,360 a lot of different guys that can do a lot 256 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:16,639 of different things offensively and defensive. Though the pass rusher 257 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,799 looked good, Jack Pibern got back there a few times. 258 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,960 That's good to see because Pyburn came here to rush 259 00:12:22,039 --> 00:12:24,960 the pass. I mean he mentioned, Look, I didn't get 260 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:26,679 to quite do that at Florida as much as I 261 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:32,399 wanted to. I came here to do that. And Jack Piburn, 262 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:35,759 he was a third and ten play. It was the 263 00:12:35,759 --> 00:12:40,879 second series during the full scrimmage. He got a sack 264 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,159 on third and ten to end that drive for the 265 00:12:43,159 --> 00:12:47,399 second offense. Pyburn can be a third down pass rusher. 266 00:12:47,399 --> 00:12:49,799 We talk about it all the time. You have Gabrieliford, 267 00:12:50,039 --> 00:12:53,080 Patrick Payton, Jamari Butler, Jack Piper. There's a kind of 268 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,279 the four big names to watch as far as that 269 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,759 d n edg rusher spot who can take over and 270 00:12:57,799 --> 00:13:00,399 be that third down pass rush. Pyburn came because he 271 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:01,919 wanted to prove he can do that, and he did 272 00:13:01,919 --> 00:13:04,480 it on Saturday. He's not gonna be the only guy. 273 00:13:04,519 --> 00:13:08,039 Patrick Payton can rush the passer. Gabriel Ralliford showed promise. 274 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,639 Usher Jamari Butler has been a productive player in college. 275 00:13:12,159 --> 00:13:14,080 But the fact that Piburn was able to get in 276 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,600 there and make some plays pass rushing wise is a 277 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,000 good sign because you can't ever have too many pass rushes. 278 00:13:19,759 --> 00:13:23,399 All right, Look, that's kind of just the broad breakdown 279 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,799 of what we saw on Saturday here in that spring scrimmage. 280 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,240 Coming up next, We're actually gonna have Mike Scarborough from 281 00:13:29,279 --> 00:13:30,879 Tiger Bay dot Com. He's gonna give us a little 282 00:13:30,879 --> 00:13:33,519 bit more of a detailed breakdown, and I'll ask him, like, 283 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,720 here are there any spots LSU may need to fill 284 00:13:36,039 --> 00:13:37,320 in this spring portal window. 285 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 1: We'll talk to him next. Coming up on Off the Bench. 286 00:13:40,639 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 2: Off the Bench, back to sports Talk, maybe off the Bench. 287 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 4: Welcome back in Monday edition of Off the Bench, Taylor 288 00:13:52,039 --> 00:13:54,279 Sharpier with you filling in for Jacob Pastor and t 289 00:13:54,399 --> 00:13:56,600 Bob Abay right now, want to go out to the 290 00:13:56,639 --> 00:14:00,240 phone lines, talk a little LSU spring football. Bring in 291 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,759 Mike Scarborough from Tiger Bay dot Com. Mike, how are 292 00:14:02,799 --> 00:14:03,360 you this morning? 293 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 5: Hey? I'm doing good to it good be with me, man. 294 00:14:06,399 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, thanks so much for making Tom Mike Okay, Look, 295 00:14:09,039 --> 00:14:11,840 the LSU spring scrimmage, if you want to call it 296 00:14:11,879 --> 00:14:16,600 the open practice to the fans, occurred on Saturday. Kind 297 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,759 of give you a broader question to start, whether it's 298 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,000 the game as a whole, orange of spring practice in general. 299 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,399 What's kind of been your biggest takeaway? Like anything surprised you, 300 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:26,879 either positively or negatively. 301 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,919 Speaker 5: Look, a lot of spring games are going, although I 302 00:14:32,919 --> 00:14:38,240 think the previous two were decent as far as spring games, 303 00:14:38,639 --> 00:14:41,919 you know, it's always a thing we say, the best 304 00:14:41,919 --> 00:14:43,879 thing that comes out is that if you can get 305 00:14:43,879 --> 00:14:47,399 at it without an injury, and of course you host 306 00:14:47,399 --> 00:14:50,759 a lot of recruits on that day. But uh, Saturday 307 00:14:50,879 --> 00:14:54,080 was really totally uneventful. And if you were trying to 308 00:14:54,679 --> 00:14:56,879 look for something on Saturday to hang your hat on 309 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,919 to justify you get whether you had have LSU going 310 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,759 eleven and one or ten and two, I don't. I 311 00:15:02,759 --> 00:15:05,799 don't think you saw it on Saturday. 312 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,039 Speaker 4: Any concern about the offensive line, I mean, I know, 313 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,240 like everyone talks about how talented this LSU offense can be. 314 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,360 Be like, oh, line probably the biggest question mark right now. 315 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 5: Right it absolutely is Uh. I'd say O line and 316 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:26,360 safety Uh one for offense one for defense. I mean, look, 317 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,480 you can sit there and say, you know, at this 318 00:15:28,559 --> 00:15:32,559 point the defense should be ahead of the offense. But look, man, 319 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,480 you've got a lot of new faces on defense. You 320 00:15:34,559 --> 00:15:37,559 got a new defensive line coach, a lot of transfer 321 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,639 portal guys coming off the edge. Those were the guys 322 00:15:40,639 --> 00:15:47,879 that impressed most during during the spring scrimmage. You know, look, 323 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,399 we know you can look at the resumes of everybody 324 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,440 they signed in the portal, top portal class in the country. 325 00:15:55,279 --> 00:15:58,519 I've been out of every practice. I mean, there's a 326 00:15:58,519 --> 00:16:02,279 lot to be excited about. But for the minutes that 327 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,000 we've been out at practice, I don't know. There's a 328 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,960 whole lot that where you see where coaches will say 329 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:13,759 so and so flash today or this and that. Sure 330 00:16:13,919 --> 00:16:19,480 like Pyeburn, I sure like all the edge rushers, Robert 331 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:23,639 sceiver corps loaded. Despite Durham not being out there on Saturday, 332 00:16:23,679 --> 00:16:26,320 I think that group's gonna be strong. But the offensive 333 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,639 line is a big worry and a lot of talent. 334 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,799 There a lot of size. I mean, when you look 335 00:16:31,799 --> 00:16:33,440 at the old line and the D line and you 336 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,720 look at them coming at you on the practice field, 337 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:40,039 you're like, man, this is an impressive looking group. But 338 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,320 is this is this offensive line gonna be able to 339 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:48,679 produce a running game? And uh, you know, is Brad 340 00:16:48,759 --> 00:16:51,240 Davis gonna get some scrutiny or is the end of 341 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,000 the microscope this upcoming football season? I say he is. 342 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 4: Mike switching to the defensive side here real quick. You 343 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,240 were talking about how impressed you were with all the 344 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,519 edge rushers. What has been, in your opinion, the biggest 345 00:17:03,519 --> 00:17:05,759 improvement defensively you've seen during the spring, Like, is it 346 00:17:05,799 --> 00:17:06,279 a drusher? 347 00:17:06,279 --> 00:17:07,559 Speaker 1: It could be maybe the dB group. 348 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:14,359 Speaker 5: Uh, I'm gonna say the ed rushers. Uh, I keep 349 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:18,880 saying in our practice reports. Uh, I know, man Steward 350 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:25,319 Delaine is a very good cornerback. But has there been 351 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,759 a multiple days where we've been out there and there's 352 00:17:28,799 --> 00:17:32,559 this fifty to fifty balls and he's, uh, you know, 353 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,559 one more more often than not against the Chris Hilton. 354 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,759 We just haven't seen those type of things. It's not 355 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,599 it's not to say it's not happening during the minutes 356 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,480 that we're not out there. I still think safety is 357 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,720 the concern, though, you know, whether it's mean Tolviano by 358 00:17:48,759 --> 00:17:56,079 our tuble had seven tackles on Saturday, and the Spears 359 00:17:56,279 --> 00:18:03,519 of course had a couple in. But yeah, I like 360 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,799 that they've got safety in numbers at corner and safety. 361 00:18:06,839 --> 00:18:10,039 But I don't think we're gonna know what they've got 362 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,200 until they we see him against Clemson. Uh, we get 363 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,039 two more practices, we get a little bit more time 364 00:18:15,079 --> 00:18:18,559 out there tomorrow, we get Brian Kelly after that, and 365 00:18:18,599 --> 00:18:20,680 then again on Thursday, and then players and that'll be 366 00:18:20,799 --> 00:18:21,759 the end of spring. 367 00:18:23,039 --> 00:18:25,400 Speaker 4: As far as the secondary goes. Mike Mike Scarborough and 368 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,240 Tagerbay dot Com joining us. Now, you know, you got 369 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:32,160 a lot of bodies there at corner safety, not necessarily 370 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:33,680 the case, like is that somewhere you can see Brian 371 00:18:33,759 --> 00:18:35,680 Kelly maybe dipping into the spring portal window. 372 00:18:38,279 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 5: He could if there's one that he thinks he could 373 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,680 help him. You know, I think if there's a defensive 374 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:48,200 tackle there that if they think could be of help, 375 00:18:50,599 --> 00:18:53,279 and and and the price tag's not high, uh, that 376 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:58,839 they'll go for somebody there to be realistic. I was, 377 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:03,200 you know, talking to some guys about the LSU roster. 378 00:19:03,279 --> 00:19:04,759 What will be the over and under on how many 379 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,359 LSU guys get in the portal? And I don't know 380 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,640 what you think, but kind of think of three or four? 381 00:19:12,519 --> 00:19:13,640 Is that probably a high end? 382 00:19:15,319 --> 00:19:21,400 Speaker 4: I don't know, Mike, as far as you know, whether 383 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,920 it's the portal or anything like that, Like what do 384 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,400 you you know? You mentioned defensive tackle like dipping into 385 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,799 in the portal. But as far as on the field goes, 386 00:19:30,839 --> 00:19:33,680 obviously they lose Bo Davis, they bring in Kyle Williams. 387 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,720 What have you seen from Kyle Williams out there practice? 388 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 5: Yeah? I just I like how it gazed he is 389 00:19:39,799 --> 00:19:42,480 and it looks like the players have responded to him. 390 00:19:44,799 --> 00:19:47,279 I'm hearing a lot of positive things. I mean, certainly 391 00:19:47,279 --> 00:19:49,599 a guy like sadeor Mitchell who came in was recruited 392 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:55,200 by Bo Davis, transferred in LSU. You know, heard things 393 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:59,960 that he was exactly happy when he got the word today, 394 00:20:00,039 --> 00:20:04,279 which was leaving. But I think when you bringing a 395 00:20:04,279 --> 00:20:09,279 guy like Kyle Williams, who's highly revered up in Buffalo 396 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:13,400 and his NFL career ended not too long ago, Uh, 397 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,039 that had to have been an eye opener. Despite not 398 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:20,240 having much experience coaching defensive lineman other than at the 399 00:20:20,279 --> 00:20:24,039 high school level, seen some new drills out there that 400 00:20:24,039 --> 00:20:27,160 we haven't seen before. So he brought some of that, 401 00:20:29,079 --> 00:20:33,000 but there's no denying the fact that, uh, he knows, 402 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:37,400 he knows the position, and I think he's. 403 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,319 Speaker 6: Uh, I don't know. 404 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,599 Speaker 5: I like what I see. I just like the way 405 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,079 the interaction that I see out of him with with 406 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:45,319 his players, with his group. 407 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 4: Mike switching back to the offense, you're a little bit 408 00:20:50,079 --> 00:20:52,720 you know, the tight end position. You obviously lose Mason Taylor, 409 00:20:52,759 --> 00:20:55,279 who's like your most productive tight end you've ever had. Here, 410 00:20:55,519 --> 00:20:58,039 you bring in Bauer Sharp, you obviously have Trade's Green 411 00:20:58,279 --> 00:21:00,880 like bowershop is gonna be your more te additional tight end. 412 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:01,920 Speaker 1: Where do you see Trade as? 413 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:03,279 Speaker 4: I mean, I know like a lot of people like 414 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,519 him out wide, a lot of people like him. Is 415 00:21:05,559 --> 00:21:07,359 that traditional tight end role? I mean you think he'll 416 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:08,240 kind of be that hybrid. 417 00:21:10,519 --> 00:21:14,640 Speaker 5: I think he's gonna be. I mean, I would love 418 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,599 to know what their target weight for him is and 419 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,759 how many calories they're trying to put him these day. 420 00:21:20,839 --> 00:21:22,599 Is there a is there a way that they say 421 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,039 this is the maximum we want to go to him. Uh, 422 00:21:25,079 --> 00:21:27,039 if we go any heavier than that, he'll lose his 423 00:21:27,039 --> 00:21:29,839 effectiveness as a receiver. At the same time, you want 424 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,880 him to be able to run, block and and and 425 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:37,480 move move the move the uh move his guy down 426 00:21:37,559 --> 00:21:41,799 the red zone. You know, Bower Sharp is not exactly 427 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,400 a big guy either. That's what I was just kind 428 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,519 of like, you know, if you if you ever go power, 429 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:52,160 do you have the tight ends for power you? I 430 00:21:52,279 --> 00:21:55,720 love what I've seen how they have been utilized in 431 00:21:55,839 --> 00:22:00,200 Bower Sharp, Uh in practice, some of the plays we've 432 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:04,559 seen with him and quick flanks and so forth. If 433 00:22:04,559 --> 00:22:07,799 they utilize some of that stuff in games, He's he's 434 00:22:07,839 --> 00:22:13,680 an absolute weapon. And so yeah, I mean Lafloor obviously 435 00:22:14,039 --> 00:22:18,240 has gotten bigger already, but he's a true freshman. You know, 436 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,039 I've kind of wondered for months out loud that you know, 437 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,400 if there was another tide end there where they get one, 438 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,640 not just because you not that you need one, that 439 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,319 maybe just need one for just for safety purposes in 440 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,880 case of you have an injury or two at that position. 441 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,440 Speaker 4: Mike Scarborough with us right now, Mike, before I get 442 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,000 you out of here, just one more for you offense, 443 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,519 defense wherever you want to go, like going into the fall, 444 00:22:43,799 --> 00:22:45,279 leaving spring, what do you think Ellis use. 445 00:22:45,279 --> 00:22:46,279 Speaker 1: The deepest position is. 446 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,319 Speaker 5: Wide receiver you know that when you start talking about 447 00:22:52,319 --> 00:22:54,720 whos gonna get in the portal, I mean, they've got 448 00:22:54,759 --> 00:22:58,240 so many capable wide receivers. 449 00:22:58,799 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 4: You know. 450 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 5: Let me ask you this, if John Johnson wasn't needed 451 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:03,200 at quarterback, where would he. 452 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:03,799 Speaker 2: Be right now? 453 00:23:04,279 --> 00:23:05,039 Speaker 1: Yeah? You know, I was. 454 00:23:05,079 --> 00:23:06,880 Speaker 4: I was thinking about that the other day because, like 455 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,000 you know, with Colin Hurley coming back, I'm like, do 456 00:23:09,039 --> 00:23:11,160 you move into defense? Do you keep him at running back? 457 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,480 It's like you're not going to play him at a receiver? Yeah, No, 458 00:23:13,559 --> 00:23:15,039 I get it, Like that's such a deep group. 459 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,839 Speaker 5: Yeah, And so you look at uh, if you you know, 460 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,599 go one through whatever with your wide receivers, who's your 461 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,640 last wide receiver? And I guarantee you he's a very 462 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,200 good wide receiver. You know. Is there is there a 463 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,400 guy there or two that say, man, it's just too 464 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,279 deep here and I'm not going to get to play. 465 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:41,279 I think Juwan Johnson is a wide receiver, but he's 466 00:23:41,279 --> 00:23:43,880 not a wide receiver at LSU, and he's certainly not 467 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,000 a wide receiver at LSU. But he keeps getting moved 468 00:23:46,039 --> 00:23:47,960 around and doesn't get a chance to develop there. 469 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,319 Speaker 4: Mike, thanks for hopping on with us before we get 470 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,039 you out of here.

Both swept in the exact same weekend. Look, 538 00:27:01,759 --> 00:27:03,079 we mentioned it at the start of the show. 539 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 1: Guys. Not a great weekend for LSU athletics. 540 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 4: It was kind of a carbon copy of what we 541 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:13,640 saw from the baseball team. So on Friday, your starting pitcher, 542 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,599 Sydney Burzon, who has been your ace for multiple years now, 543 00:27:17,079 --> 00:27:19,599 got hit and got hit often. The Tigers lose game, 544 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,799 won twelve to seven to Texas A and M of 545 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,200 all teams, like it had to be Texas A and M. 546 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,799 Here's Burson stat line. I mean, we're used to Burson 547 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:32,039 going a full seven innings. No reliever comes in like 548 00:27:32,079 --> 00:27:35,240 she she's pretty much as she has as long a 549 00:27:35,319 --> 00:27:39,160 leash as you want to give her. Four innings, eight hits, 550 00:27:39,519 --> 00:27:41,640 nine runs, six of them earned. 551 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 1: Four walks, only one strikeout. 552 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 4: I don't think you'll ever see a Sydney Burson stat 553 00:27:47,279 --> 00:27:50,519 sheet like that ever. Again, especially the one strikeout. I mean, 554 00:27:50,519 --> 00:27:53,160 this is a pitcher who has been a dominant SEC 555 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:57,519 pitcher for multiple years now. So again, your starting pitcher 556 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,559 wasn't great. What happened on Saturday? A and M wins 557 00:28:01,599 --> 00:28:03,119 a close one, nine to seven. 558 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:03,839 Speaker 1: What happened. 559 00:28:04,279 --> 00:28:07,440 Speaker 4: LSU had a late rally, They got down by seven 560 00:28:07,559 --> 00:28:11,559 runs in this ball game, and they had to try. 561 00:28:11,319 --> 00:28:13,640 Speaker 1: To come back at the very end. Couldn't do it. 562 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,400 Speaker 4: Fell up a fell a couple runs short, not unlike 563 00:28:16,559 --> 00:28:21,799 LSU's four to two loss to Auburn on the baseball field. 564 00:28:22,599 --> 00:28:26,640 What happened in that game, Jaydon Heavener. She was charged 565 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:30,160 with the loss. Gives up seven runs, five hits, one walk, 566 00:28:30,279 --> 00:28:33,480 just one strikeout, went two thirds of an innings, and 567 00:28:33,519 --> 00:28:35,880 did not even make it out of the first inning. Now, 568 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,799 for what it's worth, maybe one of the only bride 569 00:28:38,799 --> 00:28:41,480 spots for the saltball team, Ashley Vallejo came in pitched 570 00:28:41,559 --> 00:28:44,240 the final five and a third. She only allowed two 571 00:28:44,319 --> 00:28:47,160 runs on three hits, struck out two. She actually came 572 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,160 in for Burzon on Friday as well, so she was 573 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,920 the first reliever out of the bullpen in both games. 574 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:54,559 Speaker 1: LSU. 575 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,359 Speaker 4: They fall behind by seven runs. They tried to battle back, 576 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:03,000 they fall just short. It's nine to seven on Saturday yesterday. 577 00:29:04,079 --> 00:29:06,200 You get through the first three innings, the game is tied. 578 00:29:06,319 --> 00:29:09,359 Nothing nothing, It's a low scoring ball game. And what 579 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,640 happens in the fourth inning. Texas A and M plates 580 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,400 four runs, a lot of it thanks to a three 581 00:29:14,519 --> 00:29:18,319 run homer hit by Texas A and M. Starting pitcher 582 00:29:18,319 --> 00:29:21,079 in that game, Tatum Clopton, maybe the only starting pitcher 583 00:29:21,119 --> 00:29:24,720 this weekend that actually performed well for LSU. She does 584 00:29:24,799 --> 00:29:28,039 five innings, gives up four hits, four earned runs, again 585 00:29:28,079 --> 00:29:30,720 one of them off that three run homer, only walk 586 00:29:30,759 --> 00:29:33,079 two did strike out too. But although she pitched fine, 587 00:29:33,119 --> 00:29:35,799 she's kind of been your midweek starter. Hasn't been that 588 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,000 a game three. Game three has kind of been some 589 00:29:38,039 --> 00:29:43,240 sort of combination of Emily Casanova and Ashley Valeo. Look 590 00:29:43,319 --> 00:29:47,759 a lot like the LSU baseball team you're starting pitching struck. Wait, look, 591 00:29:47,799 --> 00:29:53,000 your three starting pitchers were Burson, Heavener and Tatum Clopton. 592 00:29:53,079 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 1: They gave up a combined a lot of runs. 593 00:30:02,519 --> 00:30:06,720 Speaker 4: They gave up a combined fifteen runs this weekend. Fifteen 594 00:30:06,799 --> 00:30:08,519 runs by your three starting pitchers. 595 00:30:08,799 --> 00:30:10,759 Speaker 1: That's not winning. That's not winning softball. 596 00:30:10,759 --> 00:30:13,359 Speaker 4: I mean, we talked about it with Kate Anderson, with 597 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,079 Anthony Ions, and with Chase Shores. None of them went 598 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:19,759 further than five innings. That's exactly what you saw in softball, 599 00:30:19,799 --> 00:30:21,599 and a softball is obviously only seven innings, so that's 600 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,359 a lot further. But I mean, none of them, and 601 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,599 even Tatum Clfton wasn't that bad. She only gave up 602 00:30:26,599 --> 00:30:29,720 four runs with fifteen runs in three games. I mean, 603 00:30:29,799 --> 00:30:32,359 that's that's not going to get it done from your 604 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,240 starting pitchers. 605 00:30:34,759 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 1: What happened. 606 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:37,519 Speaker 4: The bats were cold at the beginning of the game. 607 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,839 They tried to come back. The comeback fell just a 608 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:45,200 little short. You picked a bad weekend for it to 609 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,359 happen because you were rolling. You were number five in 610 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:51,599 the country. This is your first sweep from A and 611 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,480 M since you're joining the conference. A and M has 612 00:30:54,519 --> 00:30:57,480 never swept you. Ay, you do it on the same 613 00:30:57,519 --> 00:31:00,720 weekend as LSU gets swept. Look, both were top five 614 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:02,680 in the country. Both are going to fall from there. Alanda, 615 00:31:02,799 --> 00:31:05,960 you said, U D one Baseball has LSU baseball where. 616 00:31:05,759 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 3: Now it was Baseball America D One's Yeah, they were eighth, 617 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:12,759 so we droped five spots. 618 00:31:12,759 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 4: That's probably about where the softball team is gonna be. 619 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,200 I mean, it's and look, it's not gonna get any easier. 620 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,000 We talk all the time about, oh well l Shue 621 00:31:20,039 --> 00:31:22,480 baseball has this gauntlet of a schedule. Guys, look at 622 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,319 the softball team that's coming up. You got Texas at 623 00:31:25,359 --> 00:31:29,240 Texas this coming weekend. It's a Thursday, Friday, Saturday, no 624 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,680 midweek for LSU softball for what it's worth, which is 625 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:35,079 probably a good thing. Then you play Florida, then you 626 00:31:35,119 --> 00:31:37,799 have Arkansas on the road, then you have the SEC Tournament. 627 00:31:37,839 --> 00:31:40,039 I mean, it's not gonna get any easier for the 628 00:31:40,119 --> 00:31:45,200 softball team as well. It's just it's it's one of 629 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,359 those weekends where everything that could have went wrong did 630 00:31:48,599 --> 00:31:51,920 because a lot like the baseball team you're starting, pitching 631 00:31:52,039 --> 00:31:54,000 was really good on the softball team. I mean we 632 00:31:54,039 --> 00:31:56,519 had talked about it, how big of an impact Jayden 633 00:31:56,559 --> 00:32:00,240 Heavener made on this team, because in years past they 634 00:32:00,279 --> 00:32:02,319 Barzon was dominant. Outside of that, you kind had to 635 00:32:02,319 --> 00:32:04,960 piece your other two games together. With Burzon and Heavener, 636 00:32:05,039 --> 00:32:06,960 you had two pitchers that could go the entire game, 637 00:32:07,079 --> 00:32:09,240 did not have to use any bullpen arms. That wasn't 638 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,240 the case this weekend. On Friday or Saturday. It wasn't 639 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,839 the case for Kate Anderson, Anthony Irons, and Chase Shores. 640 00:32:16,319 --> 00:32:18,319 I mean that's why you're like, oh, both teams got swept. 641 00:32:18,359 --> 00:32:20,519 You know, it was a carbon copy. Bats were cold, 642 00:32:20,839 --> 00:32:22,720 the pitching was awful at the beginning of the game. 643 00:32:23,119 --> 00:32:25,279 Your bullpen came in, settled it down a little bit. 644 00:32:25,359 --> 00:32:26,839 You tried to make a comeback at the end, but 645 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:30,119 you're playing top ten teams and you failed to make 646 00:32:30,119 --> 00:32:32,759 a comeback. I mean, that's that's kind of what it 647 00:32:32,799 --> 00:32:35,799 boils down to. And this is not I mean the 648 00:32:35,839 --> 00:32:38,839 loangra was talking about Jay, you know, changing the matchups 649 00:32:39,079 --> 00:32:42,559 or the lineup matchup based. Saltball didn't really do that. 650 00:32:42,599 --> 00:32:44,440 I mean it was just all of your hitters. I 651 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,400 mean Tory Edwards, who is like one of the best 652 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,960 softball players in the country. She had an off week 653 00:32:49,359 --> 00:32:52,000 Danica Coffee. She didn't get on base like she normally did. 654 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,359 In top to bottom one through nine on that saltball 655 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,960 roster is usually pretty good. They all picked the weekend 656 00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:59,960 to be bad because you could say, okay, well they 657 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,079 they scored seven rounds on Friday and still lost. They 658 00:33:02,079 --> 00:33:04,640 were in a seven to nothing hole. They had to 659 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:06,200 battle back. They were bad at the. 660 00:33:06,119 --> 00:33:06,960 Speaker 1: Beginning of that game. 661 00:33:07,759 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 4: I mean when I say it's a carbon copy of baseball, 662 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:11,920 it is a carbon copy of baseball because that's exactly 663 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,880 what happened to the Tigers this weekend. Both teams need 664 00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:18,240 to bounce back. We mentioned LSU will play McNeice at 665 00:33:18,279 --> 00:33:20,240 home in baseball. The softball team, for what it's worth, 666 00:33:20,519 --> 00:33:23,519 no midweek game. I wish that was the case from Lajhue. 667 00:33:23,519 --> 00:33:26,359 Because the Tigers looked really bad. They looked tired. I 668 00:33:26,359 --> 00:33:28,559 wish they didn't have a MIDWEK game, but softball no 669 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,880 midweek game. They got a chance to kind of maybe 670 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,480 regroup fine too, some things, maybe change up some stuff 671 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:37,400 before they take on the Texas Longhorns this coming weekend. 672 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,000 All right, we're going to take a quick time out 673 00:33:39,039 --> 00:33:42,000 and we get back. The Masters was this weekend. A 674 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,839 lot of people's favorite golfer took home that green jacket 675 00:33:44,839 --> 00:33:45,880 for the first time in his career. 676 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:47,759 Speaker 1: We'll get into that on the other side.

You can't not remember. 716 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,199 But uh yeah we uh we had the booth right 717 00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:36,679 next to him. 718 00:35:36,679 --> 00:35:37,280 Speaker 1: We used to sell. 719 00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,039 Speaker 4: Uh we used to do red beans, corn nuggets, rod pickles. 720 00:35:40,039 --> 00:35:40,840 That's what our booth did. 721 00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:44,159 Speaker 3: Oh man, I love corn nuggets, and y'all know, I 722 00:35:44,199 --> 00:35:46,320 made it part of my Master's meal. I love boodan 723 00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:50,159 egg rolls, and there's a softball team out there that 724 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,360 was selling bud and egg rolls, so I was like, let. 725 00:35:52,199 --> 00:35:55,400 Speaker 8: Me support this softball team. And also I. 726 00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,760 Speaker 1: Love support myself with no I get it. 727 00:35:59,199 --> 00:36:01,360 Speaker 8: So it was good. There's some crawfish out there. 728 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,000 Speaker 3: I didn't get any, though I should have because I 729 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:04,920 wanted some crawfish real bad this weekend. 730 00:36:05,119 --> 00:36:08,639 Speaker 4: Speaking of making a meal and what a Launder's Master's 731 00:36:08,639 --> 00:36:11,960 meal would be, We're gonna have a new Master's meal 732 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,880 next year. As Rory McElroy wins the Masters this season 733 00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,039 in about as dramatic a fashion as you possibly could, 734 00:36:19,119 --> 00:36:21,760 so if you were staying tuned throughout the week, Rory 735 00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,840 was kind of, you know, hovering around two three under 736 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:28,599 Friday and Thursday and Friday kind of hovering around that 737 00:36:28,639 --> 00:36:32,760 six or seven spot storms back on Saturday, hits a 738 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,679 sixty six after hitting a sixty six in round two 739 00:36:36,199 --> 00:36:39,079 that put him at twelve under, so he was at 740 00:36:39,079 --> 00:36:42,159 twelve under going into the final day. Bryson Deshambeau was 741 00:36:42,199 --> 00:36:44,280 at ten under, and then there was a gap of 742 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,000 about eight under seven under, and I was like that, 743 00:36:47,039 --> 00:36:50,639 if you remember, Justin Rose was the leader after the 744 00:36:50,679 --> 00:36:52,800 first two days. We'll get to Justin Rose in a second, 745 00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,480 but you know, Rory and Bryson de Shamba paired together 746 00:36:55,599 --> 00:36:57,639 on the last day. I was pulling for both of 747 00:36:57,679 --> 00:37:00,000 these guys. I think Bryson gets a lot of unnecessary 748 00:37:00,119 --> 00:37:02,880 he hate. I mean, you know, I'm not a huge 749 00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,719 golf watcher, but I watched that a little right along 750 00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:07,559 he did with Donald Trump, and he just seemed like 751 00:37:07,599 --> 00:37:09,400 a really fun guy. I mean, he was cracking jokes 752 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:09,840 the whole time. 753 00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:11,199 Speaker 1: Like I get it. 754 00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,360 Speaker 4: A lot of people are like, oh, well, Bryson de Shambau, 755 00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:14,760 this is this and this. They get mad at every 756 00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:16,800 single thing. Oh No, Bryson seems like, all right, guy. 757 00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,920 I don't mind Bryson to Shambaud. I mean, Rory Mcarel 758 00:37:20,039 --> 00:37:22,280 is a guy who's come so close in so many 759 00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,960 Masters and just was never able to break through. A 760 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:28,400 lot of people wondered if he ever would. So Rory 761 00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:31,679 comes in the final day twelve under. De Shambo comes 762 00:37:31,679 --> 00:37:34,840 in at ten under. Those are the top two. Justin Rose, 763 00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:37,559 who I mentioned, had to lead through the first two days. 764 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,039 Justin Rose came all the way back. He shot a 765 00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:42,440 sixty six. 766 00:37:42,679 --> 00:37:43,679 Speaker 1: In the final round. 767 00:37:44,119 --> 00:37:46,559 Speaker 4: Rory, on the other hand, shot seventy three, so he 768 00:37:46,599 --> 00:37:49,800 actually lost the stroke. So Rory finishes at eleven under. 769 00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,960 But so does Justin Rose. Bryce said to Shambeau, he 770 00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:56,119 fell apart. He shot seventy five. He lost three strokes. 771 00:37:56,159 --> 00:38:00,119 Yesterday he finished tied for fifth with seven under. What 772 00:38:00,159 --> 00:38:02,559 it's where Scotty Shaffer, everybody follow us. He finished fourth 773 00:38:02,559 --> 00:38:04,400 and eight under him. That's kind of where he hovered 774 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:08,480 the entire tournament. I mean Friday. Friday did not have 775 00:38:08,519 --> 00:38:10,320 a good day, but he still managed to finish like 776 00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,000 six or seven unders. He kind of hovered it seven 777 00:38:13,079 --> 00:38:19,280 or eight under the entire weekend. But Rory McElroy, Justin Rose, 778 00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:23,480 they finish eighteen tied. They have to go into a playoff. 779 00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:26,679 Justin Rose hits a bad shot, he sings it. It's 780 00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:28,320 up to Roy McElroy if he can make it in 781 00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:30,639 one less shot than justin Rose, he'll. 782 00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,480 Speaker 1: Take it home. He has a pretty easy. 783 00:38:33,159 --> 00:38:37,199 Speaker 4: Putt, he knocks it in and then ultimately wins the Masters. 784 00:38:37,199 --> 00:38:39,079 But if you watch that video, like you saw the 785 00:38:39,079 --> 00:38:42,840 emotion of Roy McElroy, I mean a lot of those golfers, 786 00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:44,920 you know, they'll throw their hands up, they'll throw their club. 787 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,639 He did that, but he immediately fell to the ground. 788 00:38:47,679 --> 00:38:49,599 He put his hands on his face and he just 789 00:38:49,639 --> 00:38:52,400 started crying. I mean, Rory just started crying there in 790 00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:54,719 front of everybody. You know, we know how big of 791 00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:58,840 an obstacle this was for a guy like that. It 792 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:03,840 was exciting to see. So big congratulations to Rory McRoy. 793 00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:08,800 Will obviously get to him uh in weekend winners. But okay, 794 00:39:09,679 --> 00:39:15,920 what do we think Rory McElroy's Master's dinner will. 795 00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:16,360 Speaker 1: Be next year? 796 00:39:19,039 --> 00:39:22,519 Speaker 3: I gotta do some Google.

But like Hunt's ole point was, well, 855 00:41:35,519 --> 00:41:37,519 I make the game of golf worst, Taylor. He's like, 856 00:41:37,599 --> 00:41:39,719 take half of the best players in the NFL and 857 00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:41,639 half the best players in the NBA, Like take them 858 00:41:41,639 --> 00:41:43,760 out of the league. The league's worse because they're all 859 00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:46,519 going to live.

Cassie, I broke 884 00:42:40,599 --> 00:42:42,480 a microwave cooking Easy Mac one time. 885 00:42:43,199 --> 00:42:44,119 Speaker 8: How do you do that? 886 00:42:44,559 --> 00:42:48,599 Speaker 4: Well, it's amazing what an extra zero does time wise. 887 00:42:49,119 --> 00:42:51,159 I mean, you wouldn't think a zero would make that 888 00:42:51,199 --> 00:42:51,960 big of a difference. 889 00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:53,440 Speaker 8: So well, that's kind of. 890 00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:55,800 Speaker 3: On you for not being like, huh oh no, no, no, 891 00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:57,800 why would this take ten minutes in the microwa. 892 00:42:58,039 --> 00:43:00,280 Speaker 4: That's about when I realized it was about ten minutes later. 893 00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:02,719 So if you look at the easy mag it's the craft, 894 00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:04,719 the Easy mag, everybody's had it. You look on the back, 895 00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:09,519 it says add water to fill line, cook for three 896 00:43:09,559 --> 00:43:11,760 minutes and thirty seconds. So I just punched the number 897 00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:14,400 trying to tie three to thirty. I must have typed 898 00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:16,239 like thirty three minutes. Keep in mind, I'm in like 899 00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:19,239 seventh grade at this point. I'm sitting there watching TV, 900 00:43:20,159 --> 00:43:22,960 and I'm like, I feel like it's been a long time. 901 00:43:24,119 --> 00:43:26,239 Like I feel like it's been like at least ten minutes. 902 00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:28,559 Now I stand up. I got to the kitchen. Kitchen 903 00:43:28,639 --> 00:43:32,400 absolutely filled with smoke. I'm like, my mother is going 904 00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:35,760 to kill me when she sees this. So I opened 905 00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:39,320 the microwave. It's sparking in there and everything. I have 906 00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,239 to take it out. Like the bowl in the mac 907 00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:43,159 and cheese just looks like a big pile of like 908 00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:46,320 black ash. At this point, that's pretty much what this 909 00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:49,599 mac and cheese looked like. And the microwave was sparking. 910 00:43:49,679 --> 00:43:51,719 We tried doing it like we tried cooking something else 911 00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:53,480 and it sparked. Immediately, had to get rid of it. 912 00:43:53,599 --> 00:43:55,599 I had to get another microwave. Luckily, I was only 913 00:43:55,599 --> 00:43:57,000 in seventh grade and didn't have a job, so I 914 00:43:57,039 --> 00:44:00,440 actually did not have to buy the next microwave, even 915 00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:04,119 though I probably should have. But anyways, long story short, 916 00:44:04,119 --> 00:44:07,440 shout out Rory McElroy for winning the Masters completes the 917 00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:09,639 career Grand Slam. He has now won each of the 918 00:44:09,679 --> 00:44:13,519 four major tournaments that professional golf has to offer. The 919 00:44:13,559 --> 00:44:15,599 Masters was obviously the hurdle he never thought he could 920 00:44:15,639 --> 00:44:18,760 get over, but he ultimately does. All right, look, that's 921 00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:20,559 going to do it. For hour number two, we got 922 00:44:20,639 --> 00:44:24,719 one more hour left. We have been jam packed with 923 00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:27,599 LSHU news, the New Orleans Saints. We just tuck the 924 00:44:27,599 --> 00:44:29,679 little Masters there. Coming up an hour number three, we're 925 00:44:29,679 --> 00:44:31,760 gonna have some fun. We got weekend winners coming up 926 00:44:32,079 --> 00:44:34,360 at nine am. Devin Snow is going to hop on 927 00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:36,639 with us at nine p fifteen. We'll see where that 928 00:44:36,679 --> 00:44:39,400 conversation goes. Devin's a guy that likes to hit a 929 00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:41,719 bunch of different topics. And then I do want to 930 00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:46,880 mention Nico Iamaliava news that well just tickled me to 931 00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:50,360 death on Saturday. Happened to Nico i'am aliava and the 932 00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:53,480 Tennessee Volunteers football program. We'll get into all of that, 933 00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:55,559 so stay tuned. That's all coming up. We'll close it 934 00:44:55,559 --> 00:44:57,079 out with us the bench as we do every did 935 00:44:57,840 --> 00:44:58,559 after Bench
