It's impossible, 90 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,959 I think, especially because we do a show that talks 91 00:04:41,959 --> 00:04:46,319 about Brian Kelly and l shoeconstly right, how do we feel. 92 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 4: Watching Notre Dame. 93 00:04:49,759 --> 00:04:52,959 Speaker 2: Do what they did did Georgia last night on that 94 00:04:53,079 --> 00:04:59,360 stage to go to the Final four. With the context 95 00:04:59,639 --> 00:05:02,759 of that first Brian Kelly press conference right, and why 96 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,519 Brian Kelly left Notre Dame to begin with, He thought 97 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,879 he had maxed out, he had a dominant program there, 98 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,800 but he thought he could not take the next step. 99 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:15,160 He makes the switch basically citing a ceiling and Notre 100 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,120 Dame and seeing lsu ceiling can be as high as 101 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:19,920 any in the entire country, comes down here to try 102 00:05:19,959 --> 00:05:25,079 to find his fortune. Only now three years later in 103 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,079 year number three, Brian Kelly's okay, step back from a 104 00:05:28,079 --> 00:05:30,439 win loss perspective, going from ten and three to ninety 105 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:35,279 four and Notre Dame has their best season yet ever, 106 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,360 first major bowlwin, And what thirty one years like for 107 00:05:38,399 --> 00:05:40,000 even if it is how good they were in the 108 00:05:40,079 --> 00:05:45,519 Kelly era, how good they were in like six Jake 109 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,399 with Brady Quinn and then I mean y'all held them 110 00:05:47,399 --> 00:05:48,519 back from winning that Sugar Bowl. 111 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 4: Otherwise that wouldn't that streak wand it be so. 112 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 2: Long like Marcus Freeman has led them to the territory 113 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:57,279 that they have not been in three decades, to beat Georgia, 114 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,839 the SEC champion, to really just control the game kick 115 00:06:00,879 --> 00:06:07,000 George's ass, and now they're a one lost team in 116 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:11,680 the final four, potentially favorites in their final four matchup, 117 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,360 could go to a national championship. 118 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 4: How does that make you feel? 119 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,079 Speaker 2: As an LSU fan who took Brian who took Brian 120 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:20,040 Kelly from them? 121 00:06:21,519 --> 00:06:23,079 Speaker 4: I guess I don't really look. 122 00:06:22,959 --> 00:06:26,399 Speaker 3: At it in that same way. I don't. 123 00:06:26,519 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, I know a lot of LSU fans do, and 124 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:29,959 I understand you know why they would. A lot of 125 00:06:29,959 --> 00:06:32,079 Notre Dame fans do. I guess, just covering the team 126 00:06:32,079 --> 00:06:33,920 maybe have a different feel, Like I picked them to 127 00:06:33,959 --> 00:06:35,759 win that game, just like you did. Yeah, Like I 128 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:37,800 wasn't surprised that they went out there and did exactly 129 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:39,319 what they did against Georgia or. 130 00:06:39,879 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 4: That's never gonna be able to do anything. 131 00:06:41,519 --> 00:06:44,759 Speaker 5: And Gunner had some plays to his credit, certainly more 132 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,560 offense than Notre Dame did. But you know, Notre Dame's 133 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,040 defense is legit. Yeah, it has as many Jimmy's and 134 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,240 Joe's as any defense in the country. So it didn't 135 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,279 surprise me. And look it is it's a new age too. 136 00:06:57,319 --> 00:07:00,160 It's it's a twelve team playoff. If this was a 137 00:07:00,319 --> 00:07:03,279 four team playoff. Does Notre Dame get in I don't know. 138 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,399 I mean they're right there on the edge, right, So 139 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:07,759 there's a lot of different factors that come into this. 140 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,279 But look, you got to give credit to Marcus Freeman. Yeah, 141 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,920 I think Marcus Freeman's a really good football coach. I think, 142 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,959 you know, they get Mike Denbrock, who was here last 143 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,040 year for the number one offense in the country, like 144 00:07:20,079 --> 00:07:22,759 he was their offensive coordinator. They've got Al Golden as 145 00:07:22,759 --> 00:07:26,319 their defensive coordinator. Somebody's been a head coach in multiple places, 146 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,279 and so I mean it's a really well put together 147 00:07:29,399 --> 00:07:31,240 roster with a really good coaching staff. 148 00:07:31,279 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 3: And it's not surprising to me. 149 00:07:33,439 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean last night results not surprising. It is 150 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,040 surprising I would think to see the rise of Notre 151 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,079 Dame under Marcus Freeman given what some of the early 152 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,040 returns were. And that's why I thought last night was 153 00:07:45,079 --> 00:07:48,480 such a victory lap for Freeman. I mean, you think 154 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,600 about year number one, what was it losing to maybe 155 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,560 was it Marshall Marshall at home, right, that wasn't you know? 156 00:07:55,079 --> 00:07:56,399 Speaker 4: Yeah, losing to Marshall at. 157 00:07:56,279 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 2: Home last year, having a high State beat, but making 158 00:08:02,519 --> 00:08:06,279 the incredible gaff of only putting ten players on the 159 00:08:06,279 --> 00:08:09,000 field in the game winning play and still nearly doing 160 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,920 it but getting beat because the player that was missing 161 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,839 they went right at that spot to go from that 162 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:20,199 to then the ultra big brain eleven players substitution. 163 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,079 Speaker 4: Last night to force. 164 00:08:21,839 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 2: The the the fault, the off sides, and to get 165 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,439 a five additional minutes off the clock. 166 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,079 Speaker 4: Like what a great moment, even. 167 00:08:29,879 --> 00:08:32,679 Speaker 2: Losing in Northern Illinois earlier this year and not allowing 168 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,240 that to break your team, but allowing that to be 169 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,279 the catalyst to make you better than you ever were, 170 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,840 Like what a job by Marcus Freeman with this Notre 171 00:08:42,919 --> 00:08:47,519 Dame team. And so yesterday when we did the show, 172 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,759 you know, I was espousing a lot of praise, a 173 00:08:50,759 --> 00:08:54,240 lot of excitement for the future of LSU football, and 174 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,919 I remember a couple of comments basically being like, you know, 175 00:08:57,039 --> 00:08:57,639 what are you like? 176 00:08:58,159 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 4: What are you talking about here? Notre Dame is good. 177 00:09:00,279 --> 00:09:03,240 They're doing You're your nine and four or this that. 178 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:03,879 Speaker 7: And. 179 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 4: I would say that. 180 00:09:09,799 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 2: My expectations for this team are My excitement for this 181 00:09:12,519 --> 00:09:15,799 team comes with meeting this team where it is currently 182 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:21,840 at right, And did I think they would have been 183 00:09:21,919 --> 00:09:27,440 more championship relevant in the three years under Brian Kelly. 184 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 4: Yes, I think I did. 185 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,519 Speaker 2: But if you look at this season, if you look 186 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,000 at the guys that you lost, it again, it continues 187 00:09:38,039 --> 00:09:41,480 to blow my mind how good guys like Jaden Daniel's 188 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:45,159 elite neighbors Brian Thomas are, uh, we'd we don't engage 189 00:09:45,159 --> 00:09:47,519 with the fact that, I mean, you you lost multiple 190 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,720 NFL defensive lineman last year. So when I look at 191 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,360 a season that was already be at this pointing last 192 00:09:52,399 --> 00:09:53,799 year and the guys that you lost, and then I 193 00:09:53,799 --> 00:09:57,600 look at how you finished nine to four, I see 194 00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,159 a team that, Okay, yeah, it's maybe not where I 195 00:09:59,159 --> 00:10:01,080 thought it was gonna be, but it's also not that bad. 196 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:06,279 And you're hovering right around making a move. And that's 197 00:10:06,279 --> 00:10:08,960 how LSU always kind of has been, right. It's never 198 00:10:09,039 --> 00:10:13,080 been year in and year out dominance. It's can you 199 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,600 be pretty good good enough ten game winners consist, and 200 00:10:16,639 --> 00:10:20,279 then every now and then the stars align and you 201 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:21,480 go on to championship run. 202 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 4: And when I look right now, the stars. 203 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 2: Could be potentially coming into focus here, Jake, I mean, 204 00:10:33,279 --> 00:10:34,919 you played a ton of Like we talk of the 205 00:10:34,919 --> 00:10:37,159 guys you lost, you played a ton of young guys 206 00:10:37,159 --> 00:10:37,679 this season. 207 00:10:37,799 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 4: You played a first time starter quarterback. 208 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:45,919 Speaker 2: You have now adjusted and your strategy an approach to 209 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,360 the transfer portal, and with it you have put together 210 00:10:48,399 --> 00:10:49,200 the number one. 211 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 4: Transfer portal class. You will return a quarterback. 212 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,519 Speaker 2: You're adding weapons, like you have the coaching staff that 213 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,600 you now believe in because you did the very expensive 214 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,159 changes that needed to be made after blowing the Jade 215 00:11:04,159 --> 00:11:05,519 and Daniels talent. 216 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 4: Situation that you had. 217 00:11:07,399 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean, look, I understand that right now 218 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,879 Notre Dame Margustrom they are absolutely winning that battle. And 219 00:11:13,879 --> 00:11:15,879 credit to them, and it was awesome, man, like I said, like, 220 00:11:16,039 --> 00:11:18,840 I mean, they're they're a great team. But I'm just 221 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,399 talking purely from the LSU perspective here. I think there 222 00:11:22,519 --> 00:11:28,759 is real potential that this team could make a move 223 00:11:29,639 --> 00:11:32,480 next year. And even look at Notre Dame, what they 224 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,320 go nine and four, ten and three, and now this 225 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,240 in that same way LSU granted going ten and three 226 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,200 to nine and four, but still finishing winning the last 227 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,879 three games in the manner that you did, I think 228 00:11:44,879 --> 00:11:48,159 there's real potential to make a move. 229 00:11:48,639 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, and look, it has to happen. There's no shining 230 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,440 away from that. You know, now is the time and 231 00:11:54,759 --> 00:11:57,799 BK talked about year three at media day and it 232 00:11:58,159 --> 00:12:00,919 didn't turn out like you wanted it too. And you know, 233 00:12:01,279 --> 00:12:03,919 losing the opener again going back, we all know five 234 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,120 straight years now. VK's not been here for all of those. 235 00:12:06,879 --> 00:12:09,799 But you got another strong opener again. You're gonna be 236 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:11,720 on the road little Death Valley. You're gonna be playing 237 00:12:11,759 --> 00:12:15,159 against Clemson, Kate Club, Nick's coming back, and so you're 238 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,399 going to I mean, you're going to have a very 239 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,799 tough game yet again in game number one. And I 240 00:12:20,799 --> 00:12:22,919 think that is the most important thing is just starting 241 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:24,879 fast for that team. And I know we'll get there. 242 00:12:24,919 --> 00:12:26,559 We'll break it down a thousand different ways by the 243 00:12:26,639 --> 00:12:28,960 time that we get there. But like that, when you 244 00:12:29,039 --> 00:12:31,279 lose the first game like that, that handcuffs you. Then 245 00:12:31,279 --> 00:12:32,720 you got to try to be perfect the rest of 246 00:12:32,759 --> 00:12:35,600 the year. Just imagine how much better it would feel 247 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,120 in the confidence that you would get if you go 248 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:38,360 out there and you win the opener. 249 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 3: And so they've done what they could do to this point. 250 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:46,559 Speaker 5: Top ten recruiting, class number one portal class quarterbacks coming back. 251 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,440 You've developed young players like this is you gotta go. 252 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,799 You gotta go, like you got to go have one 253 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,440 of those years that we're talking about. And I think 254 00:12:55,519 --> 00:12:58,480 winning the last three games of this season is going 255 00:12:58,519 --> 00:13:01,120 to be key in your all season and training. Like 256 00:13:01,639 --> 00:13:03,120 you know, we've all kind of been a part of 257 00:13:03,159 --> 00:13:05,399 disappointing ends the seasons and we've had to come back 258 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,600 to next year and try to change everything that went 259 00:13:08,639 --> 00:13:11,840 wrong in the final whatever game, two games, three game stretch. 260 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,240 So them winning the last three games is going to 261 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,039 be key. They got a chance to play a lot 262 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,200 of young players, not only throughout the season, but certainly 263 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,039 at the end of the season and in the ball game. 264 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:21,039 Speaker 3: I mean the ball game. 265 00:13:21,039 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 5: You're getting your flip card out, like wait a minute, 266 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,399 who's this Yeah, where's. 267 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:25,679 Speaker 3: This guy been? 268 00:13:25,799 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 5: So you've got everything in place right now. 269 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:31,879 Speaker 3: I just got to go do it. Yeah, you gotta do. 270 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,039 Speaker 5: It from the very beginning of the season. It ain't 271 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,279 going to be easy. But nobody's gonna feel sorry for you. 272 00:13:38,639 --> 00:13:41,639 Nobody's going to give you an excuse. The schedule is 273 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,960 the schedule. You've got Clemson, a college football playoff team, 274 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:46,440 in the first game at their place. 275 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 3: But you gotta win well. 276 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 2: And one thing that Notre Dame's done is They've maintained 277 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:57,799 a good roster foundation, but they have gone key impact transfers. 278 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,120 Speaker 4: Look at last night's games. The guy who's made plays. 279 00:14:00,039 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 2: Is Leonard, their quarterback defense, n R j Obin, the 280 00:14:02,799 --> 00:14:04,639 kick return Jayden Harrison. 281 00:14:05,399 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 4: The mis jeter from South Carolinas. 282 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 2: What I'm saying so like so LSU kind of shied 283 00:14:11,159 --> 00:14:13,080 away from that first, they have learned that. Now they 284 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:17,399 are trying to do the same, and only time will 285 00:14:17,399 --> 00:14:20,159 tell they can be able to be cescil. I just 286 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:21,919 see a lot of people Victor l having and I 287 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:26,240 understand completely why and the pressure is on for year 288 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:30,639 number four. But I actually see a lot of similar 289 00:14:30,679 --> 00:14:33,559 elements between Notre Dame and the jump that it took 290 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,200 and what else you could potentially take. The biggest difference 291 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,480 would be just raw talent on defense, right, LSU's raw talent, 292 00:14:39,519 --> 00:14:40,879 it's gonna be more on the offensive side of the 293 00:14:40,879 --> 00:14:43,200 ball in the weapons department than his Notre Dames, whereas 294 00:14:43,279 --> 00:14:47,159 Notre Dame is just an overwhelmingly good defense even with 295 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:48,759 all the injuries that they've suffered. 296 00:14:49,039 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 5: And so so I actually was talking with Matt at 297 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,039 the game yesterday, was going down and was chatting with 298 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:55,399 him and Gordy was there and we were kind of 299 00:14:55,399 --> 00:14:58,919 talking about Notre Dame having some, you know, some different 300 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,080 type of players and they had in the past, and 301 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,159 the ability to have a different type of a player 302 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,559 because it is a school that is a little bit 303 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,120 more difficult to get into than most and you know 304 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,399 where you got to be coming out of high school 305 00:15:10,399 --> 00:15:12,639 to be able to get accepted. That's even you know, 306 00:15:12,759 --> 00:15:15,080 in the athletic side of things. But when the portal 307 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,000 opens up, here's what you can do. Well, you can 308 00:15:18,039 --> 00:15:20,519 go take a player that's proven himself to be a 309 00:15:20,519 --> 00:15:23,840 great student in college, who's you know, an older guy 310 00:15:23,879 --> 00:15:26,480 like Jordan Clark, Like Jordan's a perfect example, like he 311 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,480 graduated at Arizona State. Notre Dame can identify that player, 312 00:15:30,559 --> 00:15:33,519 good player, smart player, and they can bring that type 313 00:15:33,519 --> 00:15:35,759 of player into Notre Dame and so like they never 314 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,799 really had that opportunity before, but now you know, they 315 00:15:39,799 --> 00:15:41,960 can go get a more mature guy. They can bring 316 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,279 that player in where Notre Dame's just never really been. 317 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,879 And we all know Indiana high school football, like I've 318 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,159 I've been to an Indiana high school state championship game. 319 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:51,759 Speaker 3: I'll just say it ain't Louisiana. 320 00:15:52,039 --> 00:15:54,399 Speaker 4: It ain't test Louisiana on the field in East. 321 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,679 Speaker 5: Florida, right exact, So that they've done a nice job 322 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,919 of not only going into the portal, but getting you know, 323 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:02,879 the right player out of the portal. 324 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,039 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's it's a masterful job. By by. 325 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,639 Speaker 2: Now I want to talk about the actual game itself, 326 00:16:09,559 --> 00:16:12,279 your little Sugar Bowl recap coming up next here on 327 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,240 Off the bench, Off. 328 00:16:14,039 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 1: The bench, Welcome back to the best morning sports show 329 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,519 around sort of. It's Off the Bench with Hester and 330 00:16:34,639 --> 00:16:35,080 T bop. 331 00:16:36,159 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 4: Yo, what's happening y'all. 332 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,159 Speaker 2: Welcome back to O T b uh talking a little 333 00:16:40,159 --> 00:16:40,960 sugar belt. 334 00:16:42,879 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 4: As we got some. 335 00:16:46,879 --> 00:16:48,639 Speaker 2: Well it was like it was it was it was 336 00:16:48,679 --> 00:16:50,360 a great game, or it was it was a great 337 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,919 performance last fight and last name Biden name pretty much 338 00:16:54,039 --> 00:16:59,360 played out, uh exactly as we said it would you 339 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:08,359 add to elite defenses going against offenses that are a 340 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,079 bit limited, I guess is how you would say Notre 341 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,599 Dame an elite rushing offense based off of a lot 342 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,640 of QB run with Ryan Leonard and well, as we said, 343 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:22,160 that ended up being the difference offensively last night. So 344 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:27,920 I would say this Riley Leonard and Gunner Stockton. Ry 345 00:17:28,039 --> 00:17:32,119 Leonard is not why Notre Dame one. Gunner Stockton is 346 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:36,119 not why Georgia loss. But I did think that you 347 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:41,000 could feel the difference between the two players in terms 348 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,920 of taking advantage of opportunities and in terms of I 349 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:46,680 mean to me, it felt like for a lot of 350 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,920 the night, George's playbook was a bit limited, a bit 351 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,640 more narrow in scope than it would have been otherwise. 352 00:17:52,799 --> 00:17:54,119 Speaker 4: And it just goes back to what we say. 353 00:17:54,279 --> 00:17:56,880 Speaker 2: I think there was a misconception with a lot of 354 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,200 SEC fans who maybe didn't watch Dame play this year, 355 00:18:00,839 --> 00:18:03,079 that this was the same Notre Dame of the past, 356 00:18:03,319 --> 00:18:05,640 of the Brian Kelly Hares, and that this wasn't a 357 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,799 defense just full of the NFL guys. And so there 358 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:10,960 was this idea that, well, yeah, I mean, it's a 359 00:18:11,039 --> 00:18:13,319 quarterback starting for the first time, but George is gonna 360 00:18:13,319 --> 00:18:14,759 have way more talent, which again, if you just look 361 00:18:14,759 --> 00:18:16,799 at the starting twenty two is actually not that true. 362 00:18:17,079 --> 00:18:20,839 Speaker 4: It's very close. Uh, but but George's gonna have way 363 00:18:20,839 --> 00:18:22,039 more talent. It's not gonna matter in the end. 364 00:18:22,039 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 2: There now to the push him around and Gunner's dock 365 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,480 to overc like you're asking a guy in Gunners and 366 00:18:27,519 --> 00:18:31,440 again it's not his fault, right, but it is a 367 00:18:31,559 --> 00:18:33,640 huge helem in the game. You're asking a guy making 368 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,599 his first ever start, a guy with a few dozen 369 00:18:36,839 --> 00:18:41,799 plays to his name, to go against that defense. And 370 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,759 Ry Leonard, who has forty four starts up to this point, 371 00:18:45,319 --> 00:18:47,400 and credit to him, gunners talk, did have quit himself 372 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,680 pretty well. But you could feel the difference. Look at 373 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,599 the sacks, look at the TFLs, the turnovers. Not all 374 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,279 his fault, but it was a it was just an 375 00:18:55,279 --> 00:18:57,480 impossible situation that he was put into. 376 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 5: And also you couldn't run the football exactly. So Gunner 377 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:04,359 Stockton look being there and seeing it happen like he 378 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,359 actually there's a couple times he got the ball out quick. 379 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:07,720 There's a couple of times that I feel like he 380 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:12,880 manipulated the pocket pretty well. Here's thirty thirty two passes completed, 381 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,880 twenty of them to thirty four to Riley Lanyer's ninety yards. 382 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 3: He threw it. 383 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,079 Speaker 5: You couldn't run the football though, and then once the 384 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:23,359 Notre Dame realized that, it's like, okay, no disrespect to 385 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,039 Gunner Stockton. There's not a lot of quarterbacks in the 386 00:19:25,079 --> 00:19:27,400 country could go win their game by the self again 387 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:28,519 against that Notre Dame. 388 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:29,880 Speaker 4: Well, so that's the thing. 389 00:19:30,079 --> 00:19:31,759 Speaker 2: And this is kind of an argument I was getting 390 00:19:31,799 --> 00:19:34,920 with some friends in this morning. Is a lot of 391 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:39,279 people want to point to the raw numbers, but I 392 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,720 think they're a bit misrepresentative of the game. Like it's 393 00:19:42,839 --> 00:19:45,440 obvious that Notre Dame sold out to stop the run 394 00:19:45,519 --> 00:19:48,480 and said, we will man up these Georgia weapons, and 395 00:19:48,599 --> 00:19:51,160 you might beat us a couple of time drops too. Now, yeah, 396 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,440 I know they always do. It's been George all year long. 397 00:19:53,759 --> 00:19:56,839 Speaker 5: For sure, touchdown dropped about a sixty five seventy yarder. 398 00:19:57,079 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 4: It's been Georgia all years long. 399 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 5: Just Gunner's play. I thought Unner read the coverage pretty 400 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:03,960 well for not being in there a lot. I mean, 401 00:20:04,039 --> 00:20:06,039 he had a couple of intermediate passes over the middle 402 00:20:06,079 --> 00:20:08,640 of the field. He certainly had moments where he held 403 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:12,240 onto the football a little too long. But Georgia fans 404 00:20:12,599 --> 00:20:14,559 they can't go back and be like, well, if Carson 405 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,000 Beck would have played, I don't think that's the case. 406 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,519 I mean, I think Gunner made enough plays. You got 407 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,079 to look at the receivers and the drops. I mean 408 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,200 they were egregious drops. You couldn't run the football. And 409 00:20:25,319 --> 00:20:28,000 then you got to blame Kirby for trying to throw 410 00:20:28,079 --> 00:20:30,920 the football with thirty something seconds left, backed up with 411 00:20:31,039 --> 00:20:32,000 the backup quarterback. 412 00:20:32,039 --> 00:20:34,559 Speaker 4: Same way you got Carson hurt last game. 413 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:36,799 Speaker 3: That is on you that. 414 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 5: That can't happen. I was about to say I talked 415 00:20:40,519 --> 00:20:42,359 to someone that was pretty I'll tell you did in 416 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:43,599 the break. I don't want to put it out there, 417 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,680 but like that can't happen. You can't go out there. 418 00:20:46,759 --> 00:20:49,359 You have to realize the situation. The game at that 419 00:20:49,559 --> 00:20:52,839 point is six to three. Yeah, Now if the game 420 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:58,039 would have been twenty three to six, twenty four to ten, something, Okay, 421 00:20:58,599 --> 00:21:00,960 maybe the games right there. 422 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 4: And look they're gonna get the ball. 423 00:21:02,559 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 3: I get that. 424 00:21:03,839 --> 00:21:07,599 Speaker 5: You can't you can't put gunnerstocked in in that situation. 425 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:13,279 Junior came off the edge, stripsack, touchdown, Notre Dame like that. 426 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,319 You went from being down six to three going into halftime. 427 00:21:17,799 --> 00:21:19,920 It all of a sudden, Now you're looking up and 428 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,720 it's what thirteen to three, and it's a completely different ballgame. 429 00:21:23,799 --> 00:21:26,559 Speaker 3: The juice in that stadium. 430 00:21:27,599 --> 00:21:30,519 Speaker 5: You got people barking at you uga uga and then 431 00:21:30,599 --> 00:21:33,759 literally barking at you to the Notre Dame fans just 432 00:21:33,839 --> 00:21:35,480 take it over and they never gave it back. 433 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:37,920 Speaker 2: Well yeah, I mean we talked about the middle eight 434 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:42,400 all the time, the final four minutes of the first 435 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,359 half and the first four minutes of the second half. 436 00:21:44,839 --> 00:21:47,599 How do you manage those middle eight And for Notre Dame, 437 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,279 they didn't even middle eight. They got a middle one 438 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,559 seventeen points and fifty four seconds. And the tweeted at 439 00:21:53,599 --> 00:21:55,799 the time right after kick return, that is too much 440 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,480 of a haymaker on this stage. It gets that quality 441 00:21:58,519 --> 00:22:02,200 of a team to overcome. That was the game what 442 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:06,240 I don't love, though I do feel like there's people 443 00:22:06,279 --> 00:22:09,359 are still trying to paint sometimes this Irish victory is 444 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,480 somehow fluky, Like you say, oh, it was a kick return, okay, 445 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:13,880 but it was a perfectly. 446 00:22:15,279 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 4: Return like winning teams make winning plays and I. 447 00:22:20,519 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 2: Think, but yeah, like with Gunner Stockton again, yes, play 448 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,440 played well like played well considered in the circumstances. Again, 449 00:22:27,519 --> 00:22:31,880 he's putting an impossible situation. But Notre Dame news, look, 450 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,279 we are going to shut down the run first and foremost, 451 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,119 we're gonna take our chances going man up, might lose, some, 452 00:22:38,519 --> 00:22:40,920 might get some penalties. I mean they had ten penalties, 453 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,279 so I think George is like four in this game. 454 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,160 But in the end, we're gonna make you do it 455 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:49,119 again and again and again, and you're not gonna be 456 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:50,839 able to hold up. And I thought that was a 457 00:22:51,039 --> 00:22:53,920 perfect game plan from Marcus Freeman. They end up with 458 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:59,599 nine TFLs, four sacks, two massive force fumbles, U j 459 00:22:59,759 --> 00:23:02,920 go's zero of three on fourth down. And everybody wants 460 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,119 say Ryland nine yeards passive right Lanard nine years pressing. 461 00:23:05,279 --> 00:23:08,240 How about ry Leonard set over seven yards of carry 462 00:23:08,319 --> 00:23:12,119 and nearly one hundred rushing. When you take away the sackyard, 463 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,200 even have to keep it in sackyard, keep it in 464 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:20,240 animal uh so and and and and again, make and 465 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,559 like And this is what note names office is again 466 00:23:22,799 --> 00:23:24,599 not James office is not the reason why you won. 467 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:30,000 But what they were was very efficient with taking advantage 468 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:34,559 of their meager resources. Three scoring field goal drives that 469 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,799 you put together. And again, special teams, it's a three 470 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,480 phase win for Freeman and not Dame. That's a great 471 00:23:39,519 --> 00:23:42,920 teams do three field goal scoring drives the field, goals 472 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:44,079 over forty yards plus. 473 00:23:44,519 --> 00:23:45,279 Speaker 4: And then your. 474 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 2: Defense, which is why you won the game, set you 475 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,000 up and on the first play you got the touchdout 476 00:23:51,559 --> 00:23:55,279 perfectly executed rpo. Ry Leonard delivers a dot touchdown, So 477 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,119 you took it. So like, Yes, Note Name's offense was 478 00:23:58,240 --> 00:23:59,519 not dominant, but. 479 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:00,400 Speaker 4: They were. 480 00:24:01,839 --> 00:24:07,440 Speaker 2: Deadly efficient at maximizing the meager resources that they had 481 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:13,200 this game, and defense and special teams were overwhelmingly good 482 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,039 for Notre Dame, maybe except for when they tried to 483 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,759 jump in that punter who was punning for the first Like, 484 00:24:19,839 --> 00:24:22,480 I felt like I was watching like a prison video 485 00:24:22,519 --> 00:24:24,559 where the new guy shows up on the jail yard 486 00:24:24,839 --> 00:24:26,559 and they get a couple of shots in at him 487 00:24:26,599 --> 00:24:29,319 just because they know they can't. Yeah, because it's his 488 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,400 first time ever punting in a game, and he gets 489 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:32,880 lit up back to back plays. 490 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:34,759 Speaker 3: Yeah, that was certain. I mean, just sitting there, I 491 00:24:34,799 --> 00:24:36,119 was like, he did not do that again. 492 00:24:36,319 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 5: That same man did that same thing again, and Kirby 493 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:40,799 he's over there losing his mind. He went to the 494 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:45,240 fifteen yards. Uh, it is so like going back at 495 00:24:45,279 --> 00:24:48,200 you know, to the middle eight there. I talked to 496 00:24:48,279 --> 00:24:50,759 Al Golden after the game, He's like, I was shocked 497 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,960 that they decided to do that. He's like, I wasn't 498 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,640 bringing like a pressure play because I thought they were 499 00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,119 going to throw it. I was in a run defense. Yeah, Like, 500 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:04,240 I was surprised at the defense coordinator for name, and 501 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,319 then after that I talked with Mike den Brocken and Goes. 502 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,279 I was surprised, but I knew exactly what play I 503 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,559 wanted to run as soon as we got the ball. 504 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:14,160 Speaker 3: Do you know was that r PO? 505 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 4: Or was that straight play action? 506 00:25:15,519 --> 00:25:17,839 Speaker 2: Not that it really matters, but it's just a classical 507 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,160 skinny post behind so the way, the ways the linebacker 508 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:21,720 dive or not. 509 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,119 Speaker 5: So the way that that he made it sound to 510 00:25:24,279 --> 00:25:26,359 me it was a play action, Okay, like a heavy 511 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,920 play action with the thought process from Georgia that it 512 00:25:29,039 --> 00:25:29,640 was in r PO. 513 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 4: Yeah. 514 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,920 Speaker 2: Uh again, perfectly executed touchdown, then you come back with 515 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:39,279 a beautiful kick return touchdown, and it's over, and it's over. 516 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,240 It was too much of a hill for Riley Lennard 517 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,000 or excoose me for gunnerstocked into. 518 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:48,039 Speaker 5: Certainly, certainly the way that defense was playing Shuler and Watson, Kay's, 519 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,680 I mean, they're just they're everywhere that and that to 520 00:25:51,799 --> 00:25:55,279 me is the difference is the size and the physicality 521 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,240 of their defensive players compared to what it used to be. 522 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,839 Like I've played a great Notre Dame team in two 523 00:26:01,839 --> 00:26:04,640 thousand and six. They didn't have those guys in the field. 524 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,559 They had they'd have one like Tomas Debkowski was a 525 00:26:07,599 --> 00:26:10,000 great safety, big physical guy, but that was their one. 526 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 4: They got like seven or eight of those guys. 527 00:26:12,759 --> 00:26:16,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it was, it was, it was, it 528 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,279 was very it was very validated, very impressive performance for 529 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,960 the Irish last night, and so now they find themselves in. 530 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 4: The final four. 531 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:26,519 Speaker 1: Uh. 532 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:28,400 Speaker 2: The only thing that I'm be a bit worried about 533 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,960 if i was them, is they just keep getting injured. 534 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,279 Like I mean even last night, Howard Cross goes to 535 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,480 the tent David watch they go for a little bit 536 00:26:36,519 --> 00:26:39,319 as well. I mean, you haven't even had Benjamin Morrison 537 00:26:39,519 --> 00:26:42,799 since what the middle of the year. Yeah, maybe the 538 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,200 best cornerback in all of college Hall. Like that's the 539 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,319 craziest part is they keep getting hurt and this team, 540 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,359 this defense could be even better if they had more injury. 541 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:54,200 Speaker 4: Look, it'd be incredible. I mean what they they have, 542 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:59,200 their they they lost Riley Mills on uh in the 543 00:26:59,279 --> 00:26:59,880 first round. 544 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:04,440 Speaker 2: So we'll see if they can manage to if they 545 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,559 can manage to stay healthy enough. But what a win 546 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,880 for Notre Dame here to beat Georgia and move on 547 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,880 in a bad day for the SEC crowd. 548 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:17,599 Speaker 5: Oh man, you and look, Joel Klatt, Dandy Canell, they're 549 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,240 already all over it good. 550 00:27:19,279 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 4: I mean they should be. 551 00:27:20,799 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 2: The SEC fans are trying to piss on everybody's good 552 00:27:23,279 --> 00:27:25,440 time this entire time, and it blew up in their face. 553 00:27:26,319 --> 00:27:28,319 Used a couple of games in the first round to 554 00:27:28,799 --> 00:27:31,400 make a lot of broad declarative statements that. 555 00:27:31,559 --> 00:27:36,319 Speaker 5: They now rall to focused on the argument even after 556 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,440 the fact, after it was settled that you weren't going 557 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,519 to get in the playoff, it felt like that was 558 00:27:40,599 --> 00:27:44,559 the focus, that was the attention. Yeah, in South Carolina 559 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,920 goes and gets beat by Illinois, and Alabama gets manhandled 560 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:52,079 by a very down Michigan. Michigan didn't have any other dudes, no, 561 00:27:52,559 --> 00:27:56,240 and they still handled Alabama. You got a usc didn't 562 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:57,039 have any of their guys. 563 00:27:57,079 --> 00:27:59,160 Speaker 2: They beat A and M and it was up twenty 564 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,519 four to seven. It's a bad day to be an 565 00:28:01,599 --> 00:28:05,720 sec fanboy. If only Cam, only airs in a state 566 00:28:05,759 --> 00:28:12,160 could have finished it off, I mean final, it would 567 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:12,920 have been so good. 568 00:28:14,279 --> 00:28:14,640 Speaker 3: All right. 569 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 4: When we are back here on OTV, I want to go. 570 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,680 Speaker 2: We have a wit week's injury update, and I don't 571 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,559 even think we really touched on it too much. Maybe 572 00:28:22,599 --> 00:28:25,279 did on Monday, but Harold Perkins returning to the Tigers, 573 00:28:25,319 --> 00:28:26,920 so let's let's let's get to it next. If you 574 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:28,720 don't involved, you tube of accomplash one of four five 575 00:28:28,799 --> 00:28:31,240 VSP and heard the Lockbut guys more to be coming up. 576 00:28:31,839 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 1: Off the bench. Welcome back to more sports talk. What's 577 00:28:48,319 --> 00:28:51,519 some other stuff mixed in off the bench with Hester Antiva. 578 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 2: What's up y'all? Welcome back to OTV. You're just talking 579 00:28:56,319 --> 00:28:59,759 during the breaks. It's a bad day to be a Parker, 580 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,319 that's for sure. I feel like he kind of ended 581 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:10,119 up escaping a bit of some of maybe the hate 582 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,799 that he would have gotten had this game ended a 583 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:13,519 bit closer. 584 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,559 Speaker 4: Maybe from the outside, Yeah, definitely not in that locker room. 585 00:29:16,559 --> 00:29:17,240 Definitely not from Kirby. 586 00:29:17,279 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 5: You're up on the inside. We were saying he's a 587 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:21,680 walk on. Now he's got a walk off. 588 00:29:21,839 --> 00:29:22,039 Speaker 4: Yeah. 589 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,799 Speaker 2: Last night on snaps. I was asking who is that guy? 590 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,079 I was like, well, I mean, who was that guy? 591 00:29:28,559 --> 00:29:31,440 Is maybe the more appropriate way of framing it. Yeah, 592 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,960 for those who don't know what we're referencing, last night, 593 00:29:34,079 --> 00:29:36,200 George has a massive play that set them up for 594 00:29:36,319 --> 00:29:39,400 first and goal. As the ref is running after the 595 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:45,400 play a walk on, not even in pads, getting very excited, 596 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,079 you feel for the gig getting very excited, runs onto 597 00:29:48,119 --> 00:29:51,599 the white and hits the referee, which you can wind 598 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:52,119 a complain it. 599 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,599 Speaker 4: You can't do that. You cannot do that. The ref 600 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,880 has to have that area with which run. Also, like 601 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,000 these refs are not young athletes, these are old men. 602 00:30:01,039 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 2: You hit them out of nowhere, like in a hit 603 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,680 full sprint Like. That's like not a good situation. So 604 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,640 ends up being a flag. I don't know that they 605 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,920 would have scored a touchdown anyway, but it definitely killed 606 00:30:12,039 --> 00:30:13,960 any who of a touchdown. 607 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 4: And Kirby is I can't imagine what Kirby I do 608 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,640 not like I just like I said, it's a bad 609 00:30:21,759 --> 00:30:25,000 day to be a Parker Jones, that's for damn sure. 610 00:30:25,279 --> 00:30:26,599 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean there's. 611 00:30:27,359 --> 00:30:29,119 Speaker 4: Sucks to because he probably works his butt off. 612 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, probably so you know, or maybe he doesn't. Maybe 613 00:30:32,319 --> 00:30:35,920 his dad's you know, a donor. I don't know either way. 614 00:30:36,279 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 4: We had a couple of those guys, but that was always. 615 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 3: We had tea. 616 00:30:42,359 --> 00:30:43,599 Speaker 4: I don't want to call out position. 617 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 3: I felt. 618 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,279 Speaker 4: I felt that was more the exception than the rule. 619 00:30:46,319 --> 00:30:49,759 When he came to walk off, we had like a kicker. Yes, yeah, 620 00:30:50,039 --> 00:30:50,480 for sure. 621 00:30:50,759 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 7: No, I remember, like, wait a minute, who's this guy? 622 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:58,079 There was his father's Oh there's so that happened. Maybe 623 00:30:58,119 --> 00:31:00,640 that I mean, to be fair, the name Arker Jones 624 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:05,839 would speak to his father owning a dealership or something. Yeah, 625 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:07,720 maybe he owns a hellcat dealership. 626 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 6: He needs to go to rush week now, like he's 627 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:10,680 going to be like. 628 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 4: In a frat now. Yeah. Yeah, he had life changed. 629 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:17,039 Speaker 6: And Dave Portnoyd tweeted the video and they're like, oh, 630 00:31:17,079 --> 00:31:18,440 he's gonna work out barstool now. 631 00:31:18,559 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 3: Huh So. 632 00:31:22,799 --> 00:31:25,359 Speaker 4: The other great or not the other? Because that was 633 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:25,839 just wild. 634 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 2: But one of the great parts about last night's game 635 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,559 was into the game, Notre Dame entering a four minute 636 00:31:32,599 --> 00:31:36,640 offense situation. They have fourth and very short, and they 637 00:31:36,759 --> 00:31:39,359 pull one of the most big brain moves I've ever seen. 638 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,440 They have the punt team out there, they sub all 639 00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:44,519 eleven from punt to offense. 640 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 4: Georgia matches. 641 00:31:46,519 --> 00:31:49,799 Speaker 2: Their subs actually pretty composed by Georgia up to this point. 642 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,119 Bit of a strategic error in that they could have 643 00:31:53,279 --> 00:31:55,319 walked on the field and forced to delay a game 644 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:57,960 right kind of you like they didn't have to hurry 645 00:31:58,039 --> 00:32:01,559 up and get set uga because like when you sub offensively, 646 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:03,519 the defense is allowed to match. You saw the rest 647 00:32:03,559 --> 00:32:06,000 stand of the ball to Georgia. Everybody got on there like, uh, 648 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,240 that's what the Beamer Belima thing was the issue that 649 00:32:09,319 --> 00:32:11,839 because they got a delay a game because they subbed 650 00:32:11,839 --> 00:32:13,839 and Beilama took his time shubbing and they got the 651 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,480 delay a game exactly. So you could have handled it 652 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:20,279 better there. But here was Kirby after the game on 653 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,039 what he thought of the eleven man sub. 654 00:32:27,359 --> 00:32:29,319 Speaker 8: Because they were they were gonna as they want. They 655 00:32:29,359 --> 00:32:31,039 wanted us to burn the time out there and try 656 00:32:31,119 --> 00:32:33,799 to do it, and then we sucked. So it's really 657 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,359 unfortunate because I've been told our head. 658 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 4: Of officials in the SEC that you can't do that. 659 00:32:38,039 --> 00:32:39,720 Speaker 8: You can't run eleven on eleven off We did it 660 00:32:39,759 --> 00:32:43,680 in twenty seventeen against Tennessee. We've carried that, we've practiced 661 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:45,880 that and wrapped that because teams try to do it 662 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,759 and we were told by officials you could not do that, 663 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,119 and so we were trying to say you. 664 00:32:51,119 --> 00:32:52,559 Speaker 4: Couldn't do it. We got our defense out there, we 665 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:53,039 were fine. 666 00:32:53,079 --> 00:32:54,759 Speaker 8: I mean, I would have gone for it if I 667 00:32:54,839 --> 00:32:56,480 was them, So I don't think they were planning on 668 00:32:56,599 --> 00:32:58,039 going for it. They were going to hard count us, 669 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,559 and we prepare for that. We do it every week, 670 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,599 and we jumped all sides, you know, but we also 671 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:05,319 are told you you couldn't do that in earleague. 672 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,480 Speaker 2: So a ton to break down here. I love whatever 673 00:33:08,519 --> 00:33:09,759 they're like. I would have gone for it if I was. 674 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:11,759 I don't think they were going like, what are you like? 675 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 4: What's what of that? Anyway? 676 00:33:13,559 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 5: Uh? 677 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:19,359 Speaker 2: First off, flawless execution by Notre Dame all the way 678 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,839 through to getting them off sides, snapping the ball so 679 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,680 they have the free play, taking the free play, damn 680 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:31,000 near catching it. Flawless, really funny, look for Kirby to 681 00:33:31,079 --> 00:33:31,319 be there. 682 00:33:31,359 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 4: You can't do that. 683 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:37,039 Speaker 2: You can't do that because look Twitter community notes to 684 00:33:37,119 --> 00:33:41,759 the rescue here, the NCAA rulebook states you can't substitute 685 00:33:41,839 --> 00:33:46,400 more than eleven players quote while the ball is in play. However, 686 00:33:47,079 --> 00:33:50,640 replay shows the long snapper had not gotten set or 687 00:33:50,839 --> 00:33:55,279 touched the ball before the mass substitution, making it a 688 00:33:55,599 --> 00:33:56,319 dead ball. 689 00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,319 Speaker 4: And a legal play. Do you know how hard it 690 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,000 is to get one over on Kirby? Smart? 691 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,039 Speaker 2: I mean, did you see how smoothly Georgia did match 692 00:34:04,119 --> 00:34:06,839 their substitutions and whatnot, Like it is obvious that they 693 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:10,280 practice these kind of wild scenarios. So for Marcus Freeman 694 00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:14,559 to understand, or especially teams coach whoever, to understand the 695 00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,639 intricacies of the rule and how to execute it on 696 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:22,400 that moment with all that on the line, really flawless, 697 00:34:22,679 --> 00:34:26,360 flawless stuff from the Irish there and a nice Twitter 698 00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:31,519 community notes when there as it was legal, maybe just 699 00:34:32,559 --> 00:34:35,000 a little bit of a technically legal. 700 00:34:37,519 --> 00:34:42,000 Speaker 3: Kirby looks so mad in that video right there, But me. 701 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:48,039 Speaker 5: So, I would actually like to see the full replay 702 00:34:48,039 --> 00:34:49,920 of this because I was on the I was on 703 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,280 field level, and it was kind of hard to see 704 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:56,079 exactly how it was executed, but it was definitely something 705 00:34:56,159 --> 00:34:59,519 Notre Dame was ready for. Like, if that moment presents itself, 706 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,719 you're going to do this. And look, there was a 707 00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,480 couple of times that you've got to give credit to 708 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,920 the Notre Dame coaching staff and their special teams. Coach especially, 709 00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,719 I thought he had a really really nice day. I 710 00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,800 don't know if your face was, but you know, sometimes 711 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:15,679 being in the press box or on the field, it's 712 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,400 kind of Notre Dame got a delay of game on defense. 713 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:19,559 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know. 714 00:35:19,639 --> 00:35:22,840 Speaker 5: Did they call disconcerting signals? They didn't call the ref 715 00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:24,719 they had refed in, but that's what I assumed. It 716 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:26,559 was disconcerting signals because he's kind of barkie. 717 00:35:26,639 --> 00:35:27,599 Speaker 4: I kind of assumed the same. 718 00:35:27,679 --> 00:35:28,800 Speaker 3: But he said delay of game. 719 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:32,199 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm sitting there like, but isn't disconcerting signals 720 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:33,599 a delay of game penalty? 721 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:38,559 Speaker 5: Yeah, but referees loves saying disconcerting signals so much that look, 722 00:35:38,639 --> 00:35:40,559 I agree, hold on. 723 00:35:40,639 --> 00:35:43,679 Speaker 4: Back it up, to back it up to the beginning. Uh, 724 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:45,079 you don't have to take it off the screen. You 725 00:35:45,119 --> 00:35:48,239 can just raw dog the feed and just pack it up. 726 00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:51,320 There is that look at the putter, baby, get out 727 00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:52,599 of there, Get out of there, buddy. 728 00:35:53,199 --> 00:35:55,400 Speaker 2: So nobody had touched the ball, so still technically dead 729 00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,400 ball and see here the ref is stopping the play. 730 00:35:57,639 --> 00:36:00,519 So Georgia could walk here, yea, and they could force 731 00:36:00,599 --> 00:36:03,840 Notre Dame to take a time out. But they're reacting. 732 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:09,559 They shades of shades of the lesh Miles Tennessee. Only Georgia. 733 00:36:09,639 --> 00:36:12,199 Credit to him eleven players on the field, not thirteen 734 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,159 players there. And look at that, like that's a big 735 00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,079 balls moment by the center to snap that when he 736 00:36:19,159 --> 00:36:21,960 crosses the line and trust that he's across that line. Yeah, 737 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:25,880 because if he's not, you might just you throw Georgia 738 00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:26,719 back into the game. 739 00:36:27,599 --> 00:36:28,119 Speaker 3: But he didn't. 740 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:32,079 Speaker 4: Flawless. That's what championships do, man, That's what championship teams do. 741 00:36:33,119 --> 00:36:40,079 Speaker 2: Special teams executing creative, massive game winning plays and then 742 00:36:40,199 --> 00:36:44,440 winning in the margins like this. That's why Notre Dame 743 00:36:44,519 --> 00:36:46,639 is as championship relevant as they have ever been in 744 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:48,559 my lifetime this year. 745 00:36:49,199 --> 00:36:50,960 Speaker 4: All right, when we get back, let's close that hour 746 00:36:51,039 --> 00:36:51,880 one of OTV. 747 00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:54,360 Speaker 1: Off the bench, go. 748 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:55,079 Speaker 4: To main event. 749 00:36:55,159 --> 00:36:56,719 Speaker 2: Guys, if you're looking for something fun to do with 750 00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,679 the family or look, if you are a business owner, 751 00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:03,400 a team leader and you need. 752 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:08,760 Speaker 4: You well, you're looking for some fun to do, right, you. 753 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,400 Speaker 2: Want to treat your team to a big milestone, celebrate 754 00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:14,239 a big sales goal, just do some team bonding.

Taylor's still trying 809 00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:09,400 to find the screw. Eventually you will stick with it, dude, 810 00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:12,880 this morning, I don't know. I mean that was now, 811 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:14,840 to be fair, that was a very elaborate setup. I 812 00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:16,719 just tried to pull off there like there was a lot. 813 00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:17,639 Speaker 4: I enjoy it. 814 00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:18,280 Speaker 3: I did. 815 00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,840 Speaker 4: I had to get there a little like a four 816 00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:23,400 out of ten. Yeah, I mean it was okay. 817 00:40:24,199 --> 00:40:26,159 Speaker 2: So I was already committed once I started down the road, 818 00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:29,280 so I had to But no, I lost the screw, but. 819 00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,079 Speaker 4: It was that was a cool experience. The point of 820 00:40:31,119 --> 00:40:33,840 all this is like, again, this was by far the 821 00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:35,800 easiest surgery I ever had to recover from. 822 00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:40,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, not very physically therapy intended awful pain, got awful pain, 823 00:40:41,159 --> 00:40:45,159 dirt when it got hurt, but not very intensive physical therapy. 824 00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:49,400 Speaker 4: Like the bone just kind of heals really no lingering issues. 825 00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,320 Speaker 5: So he looked like he was obviously in pain initially, 826 00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:55,280 but then he was just smiling and it was the 827 00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:56,119 same old wit Weeks. 828 00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:58,039 Speaker 4: Was that because he's just a good old country boy. 829 00:40:58,199 --> 00:40:59,800 Well he had a little bit. I mean, no, you 830 00:40:59,880 --> 00:41:01,559 have hit it. Well, I think a couple of things. 831 00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:05,119 Speaker 2: So he had the game adrenaline, which hel Mine was 832 00:41:05,159 --> 00:41:07,480 in a freaking goal line spring practice. 833 00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:13,639 Speaker 4: So the initial injury was like just god, awful. It hurt. 834 00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:16,239 Speaker 2: But then you know, whenever you catch a major injury 835 00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:18,360 like that, I don't know if it's adrenaline or shock 836 00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:22,159 that rushes your system, but like immediately afterwards you're kind 837 00:41:22,199 --> 00:41:23,440 of okay. 838 00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:23,920 Speaker 4: Yeah. 839 00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:25,960 Speaker 2: I would say one of the worst pains I ever 840 00:41:26,039 --> 00:41:27,760 had was after I did mine. I had to let 841 00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:29,119 the swelling go down for a couple of days, so 842 00:41:29,119 --> 00:41:30,519 I couldn't get it operated off for a couple of days. 843 00:41:30,519 --> 00:41:32,599 Speaker 4: I'm just walking around. I'm just crutching around with a 844 00:41:32,639 --> 00:41:33,840 broken leg. Can't But he waited on it. 845 00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,000 Speaker 2: I was crouching through the hot tub room and I 846 00:41:36,119 --> 00:41:39,280 missed the carpet and the crutch slipped and I caught 847 00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:42,199 myself and it was a spiral fractures. This thing's like 848 00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:45,079 not connected. And I caught myself on that leg and 849 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:50,199 true when I tell you that, Oh my god, that hurt. 850 00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,440 But whatever, it was super easy to cover from, so 851 00:41:53,519 --> 00:41:57,000 that this is good news. Also wit Weeks with this quote, 852 00:41:57,039 --> 00:41:59,400 proving to be a man wise beyond his ears quote. 853 00:42:00,039 --> 00:42:04,079 Speaker 4: Read it my Week's voices, do hold let me find it? 854 00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:05,920 Oh man. I just love football. Okay. 855 00:42:06,679 --> 00:42:09,079 Speaker 2: Football is without a doubt, the greatest sport in the world. 856 00:42:09,599 --> 00:42:12,559 It has the highest highs and lowest lows. God has 857 00:42:12,599 --> 00:42:14,480 a plan for us all and everything happens for a 858 00:42:14,519 --> 00:42:17,920 reason those highs. Would it be so sweet if it 859 00:42:18,039 --> 00:42:19,519 wasn't for lows hurting so bad? 860 00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:22,239 Speaker 4: That's life. But you know, I mean, if you've listened 861 00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:22,599 to do this. 862 00:42:22,639 --> 00:42:24,400 Speaker 2: Job all enough, you know that that is something that 863 00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:26,920 I so firmly believe in the whole idea. You can't 864 00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:31,440 appreciate the light without the darkness. What a view for 865 00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:35,519 a young man to be taking in a time of adversity. 866 00:42:35,679 --> 00:42:37,400 Absolutely love it. Shout out with Week. 867 00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:39,639 Speaker 4: That's big. That's truly bad. It's very big. It's big. 868 00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:41,519 Speaker 5: You know obviously it to have him on the field, 869 00:42:41,639 --> 00:42:44,639 But it's gonna be big to have him, you know, around, 870 00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,360 He'll be able to go out to spring practice. He's 871 00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:50,440 not gonna have this crazy rehab during the summer workout, 872 00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:53,000 you know phase where you really come together as a team. 873 00:42:53,039 --> 00:42:54,760 He's not gonna have to kind of ease into fall 874 00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:58,480 camp if he'd had what we feared, maybe initially like 875 00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:01,440 achilles or something like. It's like, oh man, you might 876 00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:02,960 be back next year, but it ain't gonna be at 877 00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,599 the beginning. So all of that, not only him on 878 00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:07,559 the field, but him off the field, because he is 879 00:43:07,679 --> 00:43:09,400 and we saw the whole team go over there. 880 00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:11,880 Speaker 4: He is your leader next year on that soude of football. 881 00:43:12,079 --> 00:43:12,599 Speaker 3: Yeah, dude. 882 00:43:12,639 --> 00:43:14,159 Speaker 2: Now, one thing I will say, man, you saw how 883 00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:16,400 red his face got immediately after it happened. 884 00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:20,840 Speaker 4: I do remember that that just fiery, fiery pain when 885 00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:21,719 that bone snaps. 886 00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:29,880 Speaker 2: Shut out with weeks again. I think Rivers tweet nails it. 887 00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:33,159 How did he manage to look so charismatic being carved 888 00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:35,679 off after getting his leg snapped and still just looking 889 00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:37,760 so cool and so chill. 890 00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:41,920 Speaker 9: He just out there playing. Now, I an that hurt, boy, 891 00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:45,679 I'm telling you what bull that and he that hurt 892 00:43:46,159 --> 00:43:50,960 that urn pretty bad. Made me all good, better, all right, 893 00:43:51,639 --> 00:43:53,440 our two coming up next. 894 00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:55,760 Speaker 4: Keep locking in.
