Speaker 3: That was a very abrupt.
Speaker 2: Ending to the music.
Speaker 4: But it's okay, it's okay. We are here at SEC
Media Day. You know, the energy level went down pretty quick.
I'm sure in studio or maybe even on the airwaves
you're still, you know, rocking to the music there.
Speaker 3: It's okay, Yeah, we are to you know, we like
to headbang for at least for seconds.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then it just we were in it. We
were there, we were banging and it stocked.

We have made it. You have kind of seen a
little bit of the light of the land. I mean,
we got a nice setup. River set us up. We're
here in front of where everybody is going to be
giving like the great word the speech.
Speaker 3: Right behind us here center too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we are a little bit now.
Speaker 4: There's some very large trophy cases that are filled with
some incredible trophies that they could be squirrels for us,
and we're trying not to pay attention to said trophies
all week long.
Speaker 2: But what a great setup here in the College Football
Hall of Fame.
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is fantastic actually, so obviously you know, I
didn't get invited my senior year beforehand to SEC media Day,
So first time are here walking around seeing radio row.
Speaker 3: We got a chance to come over here.
Speaker 5: We are really right smack dab in the middle of
the College Football Hall of Fame. So we got a
chance to walk around see all the cool helmets.
Speaker 3: What a cool display.
Speaker 5: And we literally are right in front of let's see
national championships, PCs championships, all the trophies we got Orange
Bowl rose Bult.
Speaker 3: We got all the trophies right in front of us.
Speaker 5: So yeah, for like a self proclaimed diagnosed squirrel seer,
this is challenging.
Speaker 3: Hey, look we're right in front center.
Speaker 5: Coaches are gonna be talking, giving press conferences, sanky everything.
They're gonna be literally right over our shoulders, say mate, cool, setup,
happy to be here, and man, it's gonna we're kicking
off a really fun week.
Speaker 3: So we're excited about.
Speaker 4: It today day number one, and I'm using Matt Flynn's
cheat sheet his homework. He done, well done there, Matt Flynn.
It's laminated and everything be still my beating heart. Day
one LSU ole miss South Carolina and Vanderbilt.
Speaker 2: So certainly we'll talk a lot of LSU.
Speaker 4: I know Brian Kelly's going to talk to the local
media here coming up in a couple of minutes. He'll
obviously be on the podium here today and hopefully we
can catch you up with either coach Kelly or Garynusmeyer.
Speaker 2: Looking forward to that group. It's a good group of.
Speaker 4: LSU players, Witweeks, Garrett Nessmeyer, Chris Hilton Junior, and it's
very cool. And that's the second year in the road
to see Garrett here. But it's always cool to see
somebody who you know had your path and waited their
turn and wanted to play for LSU, didn't want to
go anywhere else, and then when they get a reward
like coming to media days and hanging out.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's it's one of the things. I
feel like, whatever your quarterback situation is, I feel like
you should be required to bring the quarterback because like
it or not, the quarterback is going to be the leader.
So even if you have a competition, whatever you should,
I feel like you should be required to bring a
quarterback because of all the storylines that come with the quarterback,
whether he's transferred no no times or two, three, four times,
whatever that is. It's it's something people want to hear about.
But certainly a reward for Garrett to be able to
come here to years in a row and all the
all the accolades that are coming with him carrying around
a little bit more pressure I guess this year just
because of the success that he's had on the field. Yeah,
how can he replicate it? How can he duplicate it
and improve on it?
Speaker 3: So well?
Speaker 4: Could be because he had a pretty it feels like
maybe unfair expectation a year ago because we were all
so excited because we had seen him in flashes, we
had seen him certainly whenever he got in have moments.
But it's like, okay, well, the last couple of quarterbacks
here have been pretty good, Bud, Yeah, and we expect
you to be the same. And that's probably a little unfair.
But he threw for four thousand yards and lived up
to everything we kind of built him to be. But
now to your point, it's like, okay, well, I was
just doing SEC this morning before he hopped on here
and they were like, all right, give us give us
your your your favorite quarterback of the best quarterback in
the SEC this year.
Speaker 2: And Peter said, outside of gret Nesmier, Yeah, right.
Speaker 3: Who else outside of that?
Speaker 5: And of course that is a question directed at the
LSU folks for sure, because of course we're going to
think he's the best.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 5: But it's a pretty deep class in the entire SEC.
So looking forward this week to you know, hopefully getting
speak with a lot of these quarterbacks, but at least
hearing them talk, seeing their mindset, I know it's going
to be hard to like drag a lot of information
out of these college kids because they went through training
this past week probably leading up to this, on on
what not to say, how to say things, how to
how to format the answers to their questions, and what's
the biggest thing you remember about like your training? The
biggest thing that I remember when they when they said
when they train you for media, it's like, it doesn't
matter what the question is, what do you want to
talk about?
Speaker 3: How do you want to get it? Answer the question
you're comfortable with.
Speaker 5: So even if they asked you about Apple's give them
a given an answer about oranges if you're more comfortable
talking about oranges. And we're not going to say a
whole lot, but we're going to talk about the team.
Speaker 3: We're going to talk about being confident.
Speaker 5: So it's, uh, can we break down those layers on
some of these on some of these on some of
these interviews that we got, so hopefully we get to
talk to us. And I just really want to hear
from him. Is because you've done so many things really well. Yeah,
like what is the successful next step for you? Like
what what would make you say after the season look
back on and say, man, I made a big stride here,
this has been a successful season, Like what are the
things that you're gonna pinpoint where you can improve on?
And of course, as fans and its people's analyze the
game and people that cheer for it, of course we
want him to be better, not have any down moments.
We talked about the second half of the Texas A
and M game, the offense kind of stalled out, was
going so great for a half, but how do we
avoid those down moments? Is it, you know, was it
just a game plan thing?
Speaker 3: Did A and M? Do we give him a lot
of credit for how they played? Or is it?
Speaker 5: Is it on us? Was it on us? Can we
make those changes? So I'm going to see That's what
I'm most excited about. How does Nussmeyer say I need
improve on this this year?
Speaker 3: And what are those things? You know?
Speaker 4: That second half of the text A and M game,
You know, that makes me feel.
Speaker 5: Ladies and gentlemen, they gave us buttons. They gave these
two idiots.
Speaker 4: But the best part is I'm sitting down and I'm like, oh, yeah,
t Bob's hitting all these buttons.
Speaker 2: But they're kind of fun, They're amazing, and I've kind
of got them. I think.
Speaker 4: I think for the most part, like if if if
says something that's funny, if Flann gets another good question,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: What if something spooky? Oh, I think on that one.
Speaker 2: What if you tell what are your dad jokes?
Speaker 3: Yes, I'm excited about that.
Speaker 5: This is the most That's the thing I'm most excited
about about this entire week.
Speaker 4: Eight buttons, and so we'll see if my CTE brain
can keep focus on which ones are which, because t
Bob would just start hitting buttons.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's gonna be tricky. I think we got this though.
I feel like if you just keep you hone it
into four buttons, yeah, I think we'll be fine. I
think you already forgot all right. But look at us though,
Like I'm proud of both of us. We both have
collar shirts on. I know we dressed for success. You
got your skinny jeans, proud of you. You got your
skinny shorts, proud of you.
Speaker 3: Shorts Yeah, a little high, a little high. I'm trying
to get right there.
Speaker 2: Those things we got.
Speaker 3: Some brought my socks.
Speaker 2: That a lot of wind getting onto your thigh there, Bud.
Speaker 3: I know, well, if you got it, fl on it
you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've always said it, so I wear skinny jeans.
Speaker 5: But look at us with your shirts, A couple of
button ups, couple of collared shirts.
Speaker 3: This is a trip.
Speaker 2: This is as dressed up as you're going to get
TMO t B. I can promise you that.
Speaker 4: Like I went down there with PB and CD and
Peb's got this pseudo or whatever, and they're all they
got their makeup on them right now, guys normally like
last year, I even fixed my hair for him.
Speaker 2: I was like, what are we doing here? Know thyself?
Speaker 3: Thyself? I mean, that's the difference when I happened to
be on TV and doing some.
Speaker 2: Local radio, regional regional radio.
Speaker 3: That's what I meant.
Speaker 2: Regional local to Baton Rouge or regional.
Speaker 3: Regional for the whole. We're coast to coast.
Speaker 2: I mean, you can hear eleven thirty am the Tiger
all the way to Tyler, Texas.
Speaker 3: No big deal.
Speaker 4: Your people can hear you every single day.
Speaker 5: People listening all over the world. We can We used
to do remember, we used to do this, get those
stats on YouTube.
Speaker 2: Oh I did forget it.
Speaker 3: I forgot about that.
Speaker 4: When we first started hanging with Hester, we would ask
who was our producer? Tony Lightfoot hadn't said.
Speaker 2: That name in a long time.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 4: He would find like where's some where, like whoever the
farthest away was watching the show, and.
Speaker 2: We would give him a shout out.
Speaker 4: I don't know how he did that or even if
he was making it up, but maybe we need to
bring that back, Taylor, because we're worldwide, Yes, wide wide.
Speaker 2: People get that. Now you have to also turn it off.
Speaker 3: Got it does repeat.
Speaker 2: I don't really like Loup it does. I don't really
like that.
Speaker 4: You're already leaning over into my lap to touch the
buttons here.
Speaker 3: We're already ten minutes into the week.
Speaker 4: It is look we are. It is going to be fun.
We're excited to be here. Everybody's starting to kind of
set their shows up right now. And one of the
cool parts about being here on Monday the last couple
of years and the last three four years, LS she's
been like the first team four years, so it like
it gives us that initial like rush of energy. Everybody's
excited to talk Lsu. Like I said, I was down
there with Doring and he's picking Lsu to go eleven.
He picked him to beat Florida TV let us sellout?
Speaker 3: Would you ever do that? No, I don't care if
we were terrible, But every.
Speaker 4: Game, even when we were bad and we were a
three touchdown dog, we went to the swamp and beat him.
Who did he pick us to lose to Oklahoma? I
think he's a big So he is a big He's
a big fan of Oklahoma this year. And that's one thing,
Matt you'll see this week. Everybody is going to have
their sleeper team and like the team that they like.
I'll do it too. Their team that you know, nobody's
giving this team respect and and this team is a
team that can kind of come out of nowhere. So
you're gonna you were going to get that question, is yours?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 4: I think I know yours actually, So they asked me
that down there, and on the spot, I was like,
I think I'm gonna change it. I think I'm gonna
go with this team, and I don't. I don't know
that you'll get it. Okay, So you were Missouri. You
were on the Missouri Okay, it is Missouri.
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, Well you talked about them for like three
hours the other day.
Speaker 4: Did I somebody supposed to say, ze ou like anybody
z nobody know a lot of people here, nobody.
Speaker 3: Nobody threw it back to me. You were trying to
do Mickey Mouse close.
Speaker 2: That's what I bet.
Speaker 4: I bet if my guy Blake Baker's listening in the car.
He he was a coach in Missouri one time. My
betty finished it for me.
Speaker 5: Do you think they know that Missouri's not spelled disease?
I'm gonna ask him. I'm gonna ask the coach. It's
a fair question, like it's not spelled wrong on their jerseys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fair. That's very fair.
Speaker 3: Is a two rs?
Speaker 4: Not?
Speaker 2: Is the insight? It's right in front of you. Look,
I wrote it down. He wrote it down, asking you
what you have a sheet? You know?
Speaker 4: So this morning after we brought everything up and setting up,
I went and got to work out. And you know
who was in there grinding a man over there, Paul
flying Bomb? That treadmill was that treadmill was at a
zero point three pace. I mean, I'm over there and
like I kind of had to hurry because the time
constraints and had to and I'm over there and I'm.
Speaker 2: Like, good for you, good for you for being here.
Speaker 4: It was six something in the morning. Good for you,
But my guy.
Speaker 2: Let's not up. Let's hit it up.
Speaker 4: Maybe let's go point five. All right, we'll meet you
in the middle. Maybe it was this warm up he
was done. Maybe he got some sprint set afterwards, not.
Speaker 2: In front of me.
Speaker 4: He came in like right after me, point through on
the treadmill for about fifteen minutes.
Speaker 2: And then Paul said, you know what, I'm back to
the room.
Speaker 5: So what does Jacob Hester do during a six am
workout in a hotel?
Speaker 3: Right? How is this setup today? Like it's hit or mess?
Speaker 2: It's a good note. It was a good setup. It
was a good set up.
Speaker 4: So I've got a seven minute workout app right, So
it's seven minutes and you do a bunch of different
stuff and then two miles on the treadmill, two miles
on the treble, two miles on the treadmill, like and
then later today when I go with dooring, it will
be probably some some bar bells.
Speaker 5: Yep, the weight portion of it. Yeah, okay, yeah, I'm
gonna be in for that. One thought about it getting
up and working out this morning. But the only achilles
were talking to.
Speaker 3: Me when I got out of bed today. What were
they saying? Hey, he was saying, don't go work out
pretty much all right, but we're gonna get it in later.
I'm more of a lifting guy. We're not hitting two
miles up.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I didn't have Paul fine by him being more griddy
than you on my bingo car.
Speaker 2: But it turns out he is.
Speaker 5: That's a good point. I mean, mad respect for Paul.
Point three. Let's go, but we're gonna bump that up
to point four?
Speaker 2: Is it okay? Look who cares? Full disclosure.
Speaker 4: I almost like wanted to take a picture of it,
of the zero point three and send it to all
my friends.
Speaker 2: I didn't. I did not. That picture does not exist,
even though I just kind of outed him on air.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 2: Again like I'm proud, like he was there working.
Speaker 5: Out, yep, Like we can be proud, but a little
uh what's the word for it, skeptical of workout at
the same time, true proud that he's doing it, but
we think he should do more.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think we should just go up just
a little bit.
Speaker 5: Like the intentions are there, the execution, we can go
half a mile an hour.
Speaker 4: It was not the six minute apps, although that didn't
you used to slide back in the day. So a
seven minute workout, it's an app on your phone and
you go like a minute.
Speaker 2: I think it's a minute.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like a minute, like straight without rest like
in a seven workouts. So you got lunges, you got
step ups, you got planks and push ups and sit
ups and air squads. It's like a warm up. You
run and then you go back later and you do
the barbells.
Speaker 3: Okay, love that. You think that's what Paul should do.
Speaker 4: Hmm, I don't know the Paul needs to do that
for seven minutes. Okay, I think the three and a
half minute workout. Let's just start with half a mile
an hour, yes, okay.
Speaker 2: And we'll get that done.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 4: We will step away for the first time and when
we come back, we'll dive into lsu Ole Miss South Carolina,
and three of the four have returning quarterbacks that are
going to be some of the league favorites. And then
you've got Austin Simmons coming for Old Miss. He is
a sophomore who has already graduated college.
Speaker 2: Whoa he is? Yeah, he is like graduated college. I
think he's nineteen years old.
Speaker 4: So certainly somebody that Lane Kiffin I'm sure has enjoyed
working with. We all remember the Georgia game he came
in last year, did not look out of place, did
not look like it was his first time to step
onto a football field. So we'll break down the quarterbacks
when we come back. It is otb.

Speaker 3: Guys.
Speaker 2: All right, welcome back in OTB. Here live from the.
Speaker 4: College Football Hall of Fame SEC Media Days. LSU, oh,
Miss South Carolina and Vanderbilt going to be rolling through
here today. LSU is the first team up and so
BK probably talking to local media right now. They'll start
the car wash coming up here pretty soon. But we
have got our focus on getting your guy Garinusmeyer onto
the show today. Yeah, because look, my guy Witweeks has
already joined us. Look he if you can't get on,
I mean I know you hadn't played in a long time.
Speaker 3: Garrett's going to be in some serious trouble.
Speaker 5: If he doesn't stop by this table, what do you
get him in trouble?
Speaker 4: Well, to be fair to Garrett, call his parents whenever
we started this show. So when we started, you win
a week and then you went out of town?
Speaker 3: Right yep?
Speaker 4: Okay, no what two weeks? I thought, I don't know.
Whenever your first week to not be here was. He
wrote both of us and said, hey, Wednesday, I can
come on.
Speaker 2: What was the day that Flynn missed? Wednesday?
Speaker 3: Had stuff to do?
Speaker 4: So and you know, I could have look, I could
have been very non foxhole and just said, you know what,
let's just do this anyways, but I said, no, our
guy r QB one needs to be here for this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, people didn't want that. Got to give the people
what they want.
Speaker 2: Well, we hadn't get him maybe anything yet.
Speaker 3: Well, he's got no excuses. He will show up today.
Speaker 5: I got a good feeling we're gonna have ask him
all the tough questions too.
Speaker 2: Well, we got one question he better know the answer to.
Speaker 3: What's that?
Speaker 2: Who's Jonathan Moxon? And who did he play for?
Speaker 5: No doubt, no doubt, that's gonna be our question when
we get players. We are going to ask them a
varsity Blues question to see if anybody knows that we're
gonna keep it count, we're gonna keep track of this,
and I'm we are guessing that not we're guessing that.
Speaker 3: Ten percent. I if we were.
Speaker 5: Able to talk to everybody and ask everybody, would you
over under at fifteen?
Speaker 4: There is only of this group, there's three players. I
think there's three players that would know who Jonathan Moxon is.
It's Garrett neus Meyer quarterback LSU obviously, it is arch
Manning quarterback Texas. And then I'm going Blake Shaping quarterback
Missippi State.
Speaker 2: Okay, see, only three that I think are going to know.
Speaker 3: So not what weeks?
Speaker 2: Oh well, I'll just going quarterback, Okay, got it? What week?
For sure? What Weeks knows? You don't have an accent
like that and not know who Jonathan Boxon is. There's
no no.
Speaker 5: So that's like, of all the questions we could ask,
that's probably the one that we're going to hone in
the most right there is They're challenge these guys. It's
what they're really their movie knowledge is, so stay tuned
for that.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 4: So one of the things that I've already been asked
like seventeen times, because that's what we do here at
media days, is the pressure on LSU football and what
do they have to do this year?
Speaker 2: What's acceptable?
Speaker 4: Because you know, they haven't made it into the college
football playoffs since BK's been the head coach. They haven't
won an opener. Now that goes back before Brian Kelly
as well. It has been since twenty nineteen, twenty nineteen,
so in the twenty twenties, you have not won an
opening game. It's like, okay, if they don't make the playoffs, like,
what is the conversation? And it should be the conversation,
shouldn't it, Like for a place like LSU, you expand
the playoff right twelve teams. I think that the expectation
every single year. Now, you're not gonna get there every
single year, but I think it should be all right.
Are we going to say this was a success or
are we going to say this was disappointing? Are we
going to say this was a failure? I think success
college football playoff disappointing being on the verge of a
college football playoff right, like one game like think Alabama,
South Carolina, Old Miss, last year like that, that should
be disappointing to you. And then a failure is if
you're not in a conversation. So I think there's three
different ways.
Speaker 2: To look at it.
Speaker 4: But this year, with what you did, who you bring, like,
there's not like there's not a quarterback on this little
sheet right here that I would take over Garrett Nussmyer.
Speaker 2: That's not being biased.
Speaker 4: That's just looking at who's coming back, knowing what he
did a year ago, knowing how much I think you
jumped from year one to year two.
Speaker 2: The conversation we always have.
Speaker 4: There's not a meathead on this list that I'd rather
have than Wit Weeks at linebacker.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 4: So you have gotten the pieces, You've added pieces as well,
you have added coaches, You have done a lot this
off season, another great recruiting class. It should be highly
disappointing if you don't make the college football Playoff.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why this year the conversation around the country
is a lot different for LSU going in because we
are returning. We do have all those pieces.
Speaker 5: Last year there was a little bit of unknown of course,
there was from a personnel standpoint unknowns on defense, but
a lot of unknowns about Garrett Nesmier. People had seen
him do good things, but they had also seen him
come in and back up blowout situations where it didn't
look so high, right, come in with the bomb scoolne
And we've talked at like nausea about like the mentality
of those types of situations. But we do have all
those pieces, and this is like the first year I
think that Brian Kelly is taking his team into a
season absolutely zero excuses.
Speaker 3: Right, you got it.
Speaker 5: You have the personnel, you did a great job in
the transfer portal. It's like solidifying pieces over on the defense.
And of course you're bringing in one of the top
quarterbacks in the country that has proven to be that
NFL caliber guy. You got the pieces around him. You
got to shore up some stuff on the offensive line.
You got some unproven commodities there, but we have no
doubt that those things are gonna so of course, like
especially this year, every year with LSU. That's the beauty
of this program and being one of the blue bloods
in the country is that you do have those expectations
if you're not in the conversation, to win a title,
whether it's an SEC title, national title, and of course
with twelve teams in the playoffs, being part of the
playoff picture, it is a disappointment. It's a big disappointment,
but I feel like it's kind of been sheltered. That
expectation and disappointment's been a little sheltered the last couple
of years because there have been some personnel issues that
we were building and building and building. But this is
the year that those excuses are out the window. LSU
does have to show up and if we are not,
at least in the conversation, I expect them to contend
for an SEC championship. I expect them to contend for
a national championship. Of course, there has to be good
fortune with that. You have to have some good fortune
with injuries, you have to have things go your way
in big situations and big time games. But I fully
expect that and if they're not in it is going
to be a disappointment. And that's just not I'll say,
each one of these three guys in coach Kelly that
are here this week, we'll.
Speaker 3: Tell you the exact same thing.
Speaker 5: If they're sitting they watch for sure say if we're
not part of that conversation, this is a big letdown.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you're exactly rights.
Speaker 4: One of the things I actually really appreciated about it
is like, there's not backing down from that.
Speaker 2: But to me winning the opener and it's it's become a.
Speaker 4: Joke because it's been you know, so bad in the
last five you've lost and it's like you almost just
expect it to go wrong now. But it's can you
imagine what it would be like to step out on
the right foot and not start the season oh to
one and be like, Okay, well we gotta go. We
gotta be perfect for the rest of the season, because
I'm sure that's what it feels like in that building
is you start oh and one, It's like, man, we
hadn't even got to the gauntlet of the SEC yet.
It's like we have to be perfect. And then when
you play perfect, you play tight. You don't play your
normal game and just a win to start one, and oh,
as you head into a Louisiana Tech game and hey,
guess what to and oh and like then you got like,
you know, Florida is on the horizon. It's like, can
you imagine the confidence of that compared to starting out
oh to one? And then you go play in Tiger
Stadium for your home opener, and there's like, you know,
there's eighty thousand people there because everybody's disappointed.
Speaker 2: All right, It's like, what are we really going to
learn from this game?
Speaker 4: It's like and then you limp into a Florida game
if you beat Clemson your full speed sprint.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's uh, let's not start with our back against
the wall this year having to play perfectly here on
that maybe all we need is a little challenge. Like
I think that going into the opening game the past
you know, whatever billion years that we've lost these games,
I think that the you know, LSU was expected to win.
They were the favorite usually and from our standpoint, as
you know, analyzing and former players were like, yes, LSU
should win all these games. This is the first year
that we're playing a true like road game against a
really top opponent, against the Heisman contender quarterback. So on paper,
this is probably the toughest opening game that LSU has
had in this stretch of losses. So, but this is
also probably one of the better teams top to boo.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I think it's the best one you faced
in the Florida State team that you lost to in Orlando.
Speaker 2: That was a good football team.
Speaker 4: I mean, they went undefeated in regular season, so I
don't want to disrespect them.
Speaker 2: But this Clinton team is the same or even more
than that team.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and this is a true road game, like this
is a home and home situation.
Speaker 3: And that's what I kind of loved.
Speaker 5: I love this setup going there playing at somebody's field.
They get to come to us at some point, so
this is going to be It's not one of these
neutral site home or these neutral site openers at an
NFL stadium. This is truly going on the road in
an extremely hostile atmosphere. And let's see if the Tigers
and the preparation and all the talk leading up, if
we can put it out on the field and get
it and start out one to know which I mean, good,
good lord? I mean you think LSU fans will just
breathe a huge sigh of relief.
Speaker 2: If you lose yet another opener?
Speaker 3: What happens if you win? Nope?
Speaker 5: Nope, there we go.
Speaker 2: Dang it, it's gonna go perfect this week.
Speaker 3: These buttons are made for you.
Speaker 4: It's okay, we'll get there, all right, we will, step boy,
continue talking from LSU. Old Miss South Carolina and Vanderbilt.
Certainly some quarterbacks here that I want to break down
with Flynn, not only Garrett Nessmeyer, Leonora Sellers, Diego Pavia.
Two quarterbacks, two different styles, two completely different players, but
their team is going to trust them the same and
lean on them the same. And we'll break it all
down when we come back here on o T beat.

Speaker 4: Speaking of pushing buttons, we're gonna be pushing buttons on

get somebody out as fast as possible. Do not let
your office go down for law.
Speaker 3: Work with them. You get the personal touch gcop net
dot com.
Speaker 2: All right, So obviously we've talked to LSU. We're gonna
continue talking LSU.
Speaker 4: But there's some other quarterbacks here, Matthew Lenora Sellers South Carolina,
Diego Pabia from Vanderbilt that I'm look, I'm pretty high on.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 4: They're different players, right, and look, this isn't disrespectful to
Diego Pavia, but look, he's not like an NFL guy.
It's gonna be drafted in the first round. Now, if
he makes it, that'd be great. I'd love to root
for that guy. But he's just a really good college
football player.
Speaker 2: He's just a gamer.
Speaker 4: He is just somebody that everything that the Good Lord
gave him, he uses it every game.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 4: He talks a little trash minus the little part I
love that about him. Uh. He doesn't shy away from
Alabama or Texas or any of the big boys. And
he's the Vanderbilt quarterback. And so there's a lot to
like if you're a competitor. There's just a lot to
love about Diego Papa.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's like he's the perfect quarterback for Vanderbilt, for
Vanderbilt to become like relevant in the SEC because they're
not this team with Clark Lee as a head coach,
being a new newer coach there, Like you're not automatically
just gonna have wide receiver talent, offensive line talent where
a traditional passer pocket quarterback is gonna go there and
be able to have success. So this is the perfect quarterback,
A little competitive guy who can go out there and
just like you said, get every ounce out of his ability,
be competitive, be a dual threat guy, a hard nose,
a gritty player. We've all seen. We all know the
type of player is. We all saw that guy playing
high school. He just was better than he should have been. Right,
this is that type of guy at the next level.
So the perfect guy for Vanderbilt in this kind of
rebuild that they're trying to do right now, who could
make them successful fast, the perfect type of quarterback, Like
I said, if there was a six' five guy that
lays a rocket arm that could throw it all over the.
Place not having the success At vanderbilt That pavia is
having because of the style play and because of just
the talent around, him but hopefully this for, THEM i
think they hope that his success makes them relevant enough
to start recruiting everybody else all those other. Positions so he's,
extremely extremely important to their. Program really fun to. Watch
now we've questioned in the past couple of, weeks with
a whole year to prepare for, him now he.
Speaker 3: Was a change up last.
Speaker 5: Year, yeah he was a change, up hard to prepare,
for a hard to coach. Against but with a year of,
preparation does his production go down because they now know
a little bit?
Speaker 2: Better can you prepare for chaotic energy like he? Has?
YEAH i got to, like what can you do because
he plays off schedule a.
Speaker 4: Lot now you, know maybe you shore up your rushing,
lanes or maybe you contain him.
Speaker 3: A little bit.
Speaker 4: Better but it just feels LIKE i don't know that
we can prepare BECAUSE i don't know.
Speaker 2: That he knows what he's, doing but mostly like in
a good.
Speaker 5: Way AND i have not reviewed the tape on every
single one of his, games But i'm just assuming that
there is games that he didn't do as. Good i'm
assuming there are games that he. Struggled and that's WHY
i say that that year of preparation for coaches to
study a, player study new, offenses to the different offensive.
Scheme what the reason why that is important is because
you go back and look at the times they. Struggled
look at when an offense, struggles when a quarterback. Struggles you,
say all, right this, game their production was. Down why
was it. Down let's go study with that defense did against.
Them let's study the plays that, worked that contained his chaotic,
energy that contained what they're trying to, do which which
just stymied all their game. Plan and then you replicate.
That so the more and more you see, something it's
not like these coaches are just drawing something out of thin.
Air there's brilliant coaches out, there but they're not creating
plays out of thin. Air they're not creating defenses out
of thin. Air that's gonna stop. Them they, go it's
a copycat. League football is a copycat. League so you
go and you see what worked against, them and then
you install that in your. Defense you install those type
of techniques and you figure out how to coach. It
and the good defensive coaches will do. That now it's
up to diego to. Improve and they also have the same.
Film they know what worked against them as. Well so
that's why football is just a beautiful sport is because
you got all these. Guys you know what works against,
you you know you you you self game, plan you,
watch you watch your own, film you watch your opponent's,
film and you take what works against you and you
try to improve on.
Speaker 4: IT i, mean to your, point like some of the
stat lines that when you look at, it it's it's
a little bit of a mixed. Batch sure you look
at let's, go let's just go randomly here Against, alabama
he was sixteen of twenty for two fifty two two
tutters eighty percent completion, percentage also ran for fifty six.
Speaker 2: Yards, Right but he also has.
Speaker 4: A game Against, auburn where he was nine of twenty
two for one hundred and forty three, yards completed forty
percent of his, passes had two, touchdowns but had twelve
carries for twenty six.
Speaker 2: Yards, Now vandonbilt won the.
Speaker 4: Game you can go to a game Like kentucky he
was fifteen of, eighteen completed eighty three percent of his,
passes two, touchdowns had another fifty three on the. Ground
but then you look AT, lsu he only threw four
one hundred and eighty six, yards fifty four percent completion,
percentage and forty three yards on the. GROUND i, mean
it's a mixed, bag but.
Speaker 5: You're gonna get. It with his, style you're gonna get
a mixed.
Speaker 4: Back you're also going to get like the stat line
Against Georgia. Tech he was thirteen of twenty one through the,
air but he threw for three. Touchdowns he also added
eighty five on.
Speaker 2: The ground for two.
Speaker 4: Touchdowns so like thirteen of twenty one is never going
to be something you write home. About but he ended,
up you, know throwing three touchdowns in one hundred and sixty,
Yards and that's kind of what you are going to
get With.
Speaker 5: Diego, yeah and It's it's one of those things when
you're when you're a defense and you're a defensive coordinator
playing against, him you just got to, say, man he's
going to get his every now and, then because like
it's chaotic, energy it's it's playing off, schedule doing things
that aren't supposed to be traditional. Football and then oh,
yeah he's also a competitive. Sob he's also a. Grinder
he's going to hit you in the mouth as a
quarterback when you're not expecting. It so you have to
be on your. Toes you got to be ready for
anything as a defense Against. Vanderbilt and it's crazy they
were saying that right Against. Vanderbilt, yeah and they it's
just somebody that it's a team that is exciting to watch.
Offense AND i hope that continues AND i hope he
improves because having a guy like that in your conference
makes the conference, better makes it more, exciting and having
every team from top to bottom is having them to
be a threat makes the whole conference, better, right it
makes we we want good, games we want good, competition
and Having vanderbilt up, there which we can't say that very.
Often we haven't been able. To BUT i know you're
a big fan Of Clark Lee Step, Clark, clerk come over,
Here fox And. Pavia but, No I'm I'M i, Like
i'm a big, Fan LIKE i think watching a player
like that is just fun to. Do like he's not of,
course he's not a traditional. QUARTERBACK i don't expect him
to go to the next league and play the. Position
but you never, know you never.
Speaker 3: Know All, right we'll step, away we'll talk a Little South.
Speaker 4: Carolina Lenora sellers is certainly a quarterback high on everybody's.
Speaker 2: List he is a red shirt, sophomore big year for.
Speaker 4: Him if he does the things that we think he can,
do he will be A nfl quarterback in The New york,
future even if he has multiple years. Left because last
year what he was able to, do can he replicate
it again this? Year we'll break it all down when
we come back here ON otb off the. BENCH i

we're gonna break Down South carolina here in this. Segment
it is a team that has very high. Expectations it
was a team that went nine and three in the
regular season last, year and there was some losses certainly
that Stung South. Carolina The yelsu game and how they
had that game and they're up seventeen to. Nothing then
Nor sellers gets heard and there was a little controversy
on one of the calls where.
Speaker 2: They had a pick.
Speaker 4: Six, right that's a game that they felt like they
should have, won but they, did you, know Loser bowl
game To. Illinois but it hasn't stopped the hype train
in The. North sellers is the main reason for said hype,
train because like if you went to a CASUAL sec
football fan, like, hey give me one weapon For South.
Carolina i'm talking about even in this, Room like uh,
well and you get that kind of, answer let.
Speaker 2: Me think about.
Speaker 4: It and they Say Nick harbor because they've seen him
on The Freaks list every. Year it's, like, well you,
KNOW i know he gave up, track But Nick harbor
hasn't really done anything for us to say, yes he
can be counted on in THE.
Speaker 2: Sec so it is Truly flynn like it Is Leonora.
Sellers he is the.
Speaker 4: Offense they lost a lot on defense in THE Nfl,
Draft BUT i think everybody's just putting their stock in
him being such a good player that they're going to
be in the.
Speaker 5: Conversation, yeah he's one of those players that makes you
relevant every single. Week we saw it with during THE lsu.
Speaker 3: Game of.
Speaker 5: COURSE i mean it was for the result of that,
game so beneficial that he got hurt and got out
and know, what nobody wishes for, That but when he
went out of the, game the whole game. Changed, yeah,
Right AND i Know South Caro South carolina, fans that's
the probably the one game when they look back on,
it like that's the game we got screwed out Of
that's the game we should have. Won of, course worked
out In elishu's, favor so we love. It But Lenora's,
SELLERS i, mean he's a he's a top one of
the Top heisman hopefuls this year for for good. REASON i,
mean he makes this team exponentially better because he is
so dangerous and he can he can do it, all
and that's what makes him he's he's you, know we
just talked About pavi a last. Segment he's that type
of type of player can open up all those types
of players That pavia, can but with a little bit
more just, uh you, know not to put in of,
course this is not meant to put anybody. Down they're
both great, players But Leonora sellers just has that little
bit extra go juice and so got a couple of,
in got a couple of, inches maybe a couple of
maybe a couple of tenths on the forty. TIMES i don't, know,
uh but UH i Bet pavey maybe it could out bench,
him though no doubt there's no Out pavia during there
during their workouts summer workouts that he's got at least
half the team around his.
