they can't see you.

27
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,239
Speaker 3: Well, I got my old Miss Rebel shirt on because

28
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:36,280
the lane train is back. Baby, We're going and I've

29
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,840
got I've got just some water to night. I'm hydrating,

30
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,599
just trying to get ready for the week. It's it's

31
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,079
a Halloween week and you know as a as a

32
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,200
fellow girl dad that we're going to be busy this week.

33
00:01:47,239 --> 00:01:48,799
So we got to make sure that we're ready. We

34
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,319
can't be slacking at all.

35
00:01:51,319 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: Well, it is fifty six degrees in windy in South Carolina,

36
00:01:55,159 --> 00:01:58,959
a bit chilly, so I whipped up some hot choking.

37
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 3: Look at you, my mother.

38
00:02:03,799 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: No, I didn't do I didn't do all that. It was.

39
00:02:06,439 --> 00:02:09,039
It was five minutes to kickoff, and by that I

40
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,680
mean time to get on with you. So I had to.

41
00:02:11,719 --> 00:02:13,800
I had to microwave the milk and toss in the

42
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:14,680
powder real quick.

43
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,479
Speaker 3: Are you doing nestleie quickpowder? Are we doing Swiss mess?

44
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:20,879
Or we do? We got this Hirsty syrup.

45
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: Would you used I'll be honest, I don't know because

46
00:02:24,319 --> 00:02:27,159
it's in a miniature jug that I was given as

47
00:02:27,199 --> 00:02:30,639
a gift, and so I'm not sure. I think it's

48
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:35,919
a homemade, homemade mix of some sort. There were marshmallows

49
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:37,840
at some point. I've used them all. I'm at the

50
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,000
bottom of the jug, so it still tastes great.

51
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 3: One went through there and dug out all of the marshmallows.

52
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,439
Speaker 1: No, I've got it. It's up there with the Maxwell

53
00:02:45,439 --> 00:02:47,120
House on the top shelf. You know what I mean.

54
00:02:47,159 --> 00:02:49,479
You gotta put the good stuff also if there at

55
00:02:49,479 --> 00:02:52,520
the top and Maxwell House is good to the last drop.

56
00:02:52,599 --> 00:02:55,840
We are not yet sponsored, but the quest is never ending. Hey,

57
00:02:56,159 --> 00:02:58,479
it was an incredible week in college football. The SEC

58
00:02:59,199 --> 00:03:03,360
looked fan fantastic. What were your overall thoughts Premier game

59
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,439
Texas A and m LSU. We're gonna have our buddy

60
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,280
Lewis Johnson from Last Round College Football at CFB lou

61
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,240
gonna be here in just a little bit to talk

62
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,120
about that game with us and break down what the

63
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:16,840
temperature check is and baton rouge.

64
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 2: But just overall really quick and we'll jump to other things.

65
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 1: What would your takeaway here?

66
00:03:22,479 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, big thing obviously Texas saying LSU was

67
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,400
a tail of two halves. But you know, like I

68
00:03:28,439 --> 00:03:32,919
take a look Old Miss Alabama, Texas. It wasn't pretty,

69
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,599
but most importantly, they came out on top and they

70
00:03:36,639 --> 00:03:40,719
won Old Miss Care of Businesses in the second half, shut.

71
00:03:40,439 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: Out after being down at halftime, gave everybody a little

72
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:45,080
bit of a scare.

73
00:03:46,159 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, and I think it's managing expectations there.

74
00:03:49,919 --> 00:03:52,879
And again total lane bias here. I don't care come

75
00:03:52,919 --> 00:03:54,400
to this sip all that good stuff.

76
00:03:54,719 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: Can we talk about that for just a second.

77
00:03:56,759 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's do it.

78
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 2: Is Oklahoma's defense better than we think, because.

79
00:04:04,639 --> 00:04:07,719
Speaker 1: That's what I'm But look at look at the offenses

80
00:04:07,759 --> 00:04:11,280
that they've held down. They don't, they don't just suck. Okay,

81
00:04:11,479 --> 00:04:13,960
can we stop that narrative that the whole team is

82
00:04:14,039 --> 00:04:15,919
just awful. I don't think the whole team is off

83
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:17,600
I think they don't have an offensive line and they

84
00:04:17,639 --> 00:04:20,439
don't have playmakers. I don't think Jackson Arnold is awful.

85
00:04:22,319 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 3: No, but he was under dress whole time. So your question,

86
00:04:26,199 --> 00:04:28,720
So to answer your question about the Stonor defense, I

87
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,800
just think they're overtaxed. They're a good defense, sure, but

88
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:37,040
but but it's constantly three and out. Arnold is putting

89
00:04:37,079 --> 00:04:40,480
them in bad situations with turnovers, so like they are

90
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,800
in high pressure situations where you start. I mean, this

91
00:04:43,879 --> 00:04:48,199
is what you saw basically on Saturday afternoon is Old

92
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,480
Miss just kind of wore their ass out in the

93
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,839
second half and just kind of took care of business

94
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,519
and really control control that second half where Arnold. So

95
00:04:56,879 --> 00:04:58,600
here's a stat for you. You want it, you want

96
00:04:58,639 --> 00:05:00,560
a bad ass stat where old this is still going

97
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:05,759
to be there. Ole Miss had ten sacks on Saturday

98
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,319
against that Sooner's horse.

99
00:05:08,439 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, they were stacking late into the game.

100
00:05:10,759 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 3: I think you and I could go South.

101
00:05:14,079 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: Well, South Carolina did the same thing. So back to

102
00:05:16,399 --> 00:05:20,160
back weeks where the records were set against the Oklahoma offense,

103
00:05:20,519 --> 00:05:23,480
number of sacks given up. Look, I mean the most

104
00:05:23,519 --> 00:05:26,480
points they've given up the entire season was the South

105
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,959
Carolina last week, which is thirty five, and fourteen of

106
00:05:28,959 --> 00:05:31,560
those were scored by the defense, So really it was

107
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,160
only a twenty one point scored by the offense. Other

108
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,079
than that, you have Texas at thirty four and nobody

109
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,600
else is even close. You got Tennessee at twenty five.

110
00:05:39,759 --> 00:05:45,519
Everybody else is twenty one or less, and then.

111
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,639
Speaker 3: For using the freeze posts to it. The defense is

112
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,759
financy offense screwing it up. That's why, that's what I've heard.

113
00:05:53,639 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: Right, absolutely, that's you know, I'm just I'm just trying

114
00:05:57,759 --> 00:05:59,800
to advocate a little bit. I think that the narrative,

115
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,800
at least what I'm doing, has just become Oklahoma's trash.

116
00:06:03,879 --> 00:06:05,240
I don't think it's that. I don't think it's I

117
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,199
don't think it's all that. I think that if they

118
00:06:07,639 --> 00:06:10,000
go to the portal this year and they get them

119
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,480
a couple of playmakers and they shore up the offensive line,

120
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,720
They're not in the toilet next year. I'm not talking

121
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,519
about contending for conference title. I'm just saying that they

122
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,480
are going to have a much stronger outfit next year.

123
00:06:21,519 --> 00:06:22,920
I trust ventibles when it comes to the.

124
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 3: Defense, and real quick, when they were the Big twelve,

125
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,160
weren't they always in the conference championship and then all

126
00:06:29,199 --> 00:06:30,720
of a sudden, now we're in the SEC. That's no

127
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:31,920
longer the standards of.

128
00:06:31,879 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: Course, yeah, because nobody. Yes, I think if they were

129
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,879
in the Big twelve now their offensill look a lot better.

130
00:06:38,079 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 2: But that's neither here nor there. Don't tell Andrew mcleary.

131
00:06:40,199 --> 00:06:46,319
Speaker 3: All right, So, uh, let's Obama, Bama.

132
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 2: Absolutely dominant and I expected that.

133
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 3: You gotta go, you gotta look at you gotta pants out.

134
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,319
What did you think when it was fine? Nothing? Did

135
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,279
you think dominant? That was not what I was thinking.

136
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 2: No, No, And I don't think that five nothing looks.

137
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,879
Speaker 1: I think that the defense has been the biggest question

138
00:07:07,959 --> 00:07:11,399
mark for me. Jaylen Milroe has been inconsistent. But I

139
00:07:11,439 --> 00:07:14,040
don't doubt Jalen Milroe. You know what I mean.

140
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:14,439
Speaker 4: I don't.

141
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: I'm not one of these guys who looks at Alabama's

142
00:07:16,839 --> 00:07:18,959
offense and says, oh, they just don't have the elite

143
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,319
star power that they've had in the past. I've heard

144
00:07:22,319 --> 00:07:24,519
that take. I've heard that, hey, Ryan Williams is it

145
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,439
and everybody else is good but not great. I still

146
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,680
feel like they have some guys who could be total

147
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,879
game breakers. I like both of those running backs. Still,

148
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:33,759
they have not been as productive as we would like

149
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,759
for them to be this year. But I'm not just

150
00:07:35,839 --> 00:07:38,120
totally throwing the baby out with the bathwater. You're in

151
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,279
a first year in a new offense, under Kaitlyn de Boor.

152
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,360
We have no reason to think he doesn't get the

153
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,360
offense going. And maybe it's not this year that they

154
00:07:46,439 --> 00:07:49,399
become the dominant offense that we would expect them to

155
00:07:49,439 --> 00:07:54,199
eventually be, but the potential is still there. On the

156
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:58,319
defensive side of the ball, you lose Saban, that's where

157
00:07:58,319 --> 00:08:01,079
it hurts the most. You lose culture, you lose leader,

158
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,120
you lose yes, but you lose the whole defensive staff.

159
00:08:05,519 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 2: And that's what his name is built on.

160
00:08:07,439 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: Before there was Jalen Hurts and and Tua and Matt

161
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,959
Jones and Bryce Young, there was run the ball and

162
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,959
play defense at Alabama and that's where that's where, that's

163
00:08:18,959 --> 00:08:20,639
the bread of butter, that's where they made their money.

164
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:25,120
So this year it's been a little questionable. And so yes,

165
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,399
when it's five to nothing, you look at it and

166
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,839
you asked the question, is it dominant or is it not?

167
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:31,879
I'm not I'm not looking at the five. I'm looking

168
00:08:31,879 --> 00:08:32,399
at the zero.

169
00:08:34,759 --> 00:08:39,279
Speaker 3: Okay, Well I looked at the five five. The five

170
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,039
was not impressive, and I was like, oh, that looks ugly.

171
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,000
But here here's the deal. At the end of the day,

172
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,080
thirty four, nothing can we stop ranking Massoo. Sorry Brett,

173
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,519
I love your bourbon, love your pizza, love what love

174
00:08:51,519 --> 00:08:54,120
what drink's doing down there. Hopefully Gainsville doesn't take them,

175
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,840
but Missoo is not a serious person. They're done. But

176
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,519
Alabama does exactly what we have talked about for the

177
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,559
last three weeks. They came in, they got their minds right.

178
00:09:05,039 --> 00:09:08,120
Apparently they're tucking their shirts now Haalin's getting angry at

179
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,320
players on the sidelines. Whatever that is. But here's the deal.

180
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,120
It all comes down to two weeks from now against LSU.

181
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,279
So you know what, hats off to the Tide. They

182
00:09:16,279 --> 00:09:20,799
did it last one. I want to get to Texas.

183
00:09:21,279 --> 00:09:23,519
Oh my gosh. They only won by three. But guess what,

184
00:09:24,759 --> 00:09:27,240
this was a twenty four This was a twenty seven

185
00:09:27,279 --> 00:09:29,960
to seventeen game up until forty five seconds left in

186
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:35,600
the game. So stop. Vandy is not you know last

187
00:09:35,639 --> 00:09:40,519
year's Vandy. They are scary. They do some things. Georgia.

188
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,559
You know, Texas is coming off an emotional loss to Georgia.

189
00:09:43,879 --> 00:09:46,679
They were knocked off for their high horse when yours.

190
00:09:46,759 --> 00:09:48,360
You know, Stu Mandel, I think they're a really good

191
00:09:48,399 --> 00:09:50,240
job pointing out looks like he's holding the ball a

192
00:09:50,279 --> 00:09:51,960
little tight, maybe still has a case in the case

193
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,799
of the Yips a little bit. Maybe that's what's going on.

194
00:09:55,159 --> 00:09:57,720
But here's the deal. They got out with a win.

195
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,440
It doesn't have to be pretty now. And i October,

196
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,759
we are a month left in the season. I think

197
00:10:03,759 --> 00:10:06,879
what we got six seven teams buying for probably four

198
00:10:06,879 --> 00:10:08,480
spots in the Collage Football Playoff.

199
00:10:09,279 --> 00:10:09,519
Speaker 1: Yep.

200
00:10:09,639 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 3: The simple truth is just when baby Texas Alabama, old

201
00:10:15,639 --> 00:10:18,960
mess did all that. It wasn't always pretty, but it

202
00:10:19,039 --> 00:10:20,159
took care of business.

203
00:10:20,639 --> 00:10:23,559
Speaker 1: Hey, let's talk about Quinn yours, who was my preseason

204
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,480
heisman pick. I don't know that, you know, maybe it's

205
00:10:27,519 --> 00:10:30,320
maybe it's still sort of within reach. I don't think

206
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:36,159
it's really within reach. But regardless, I think if we

207
00:10:36,279 --> 00:10:38,639
want to go back to the word dominant, Quinn vers

208
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,799
was dominant. He carved them up.

209
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 2: And you look at the stop, the stat line, you

210
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:44,960
get the two picks. They're bad of balls. It is

211
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:45,399
what it is.

212
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,799
Speaker 1: We can say what we want to say, like, hey,

213
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,399
you know, I hear the argument that a bad ball

214
00:10:50,519 --> 00:10:54,559
is a is a bad or you know whatever.

215
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 2: But that's not a it's not a bad read, it's

216
00:10:59,399 --> 00:10:59,799
not a bad.

217
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: It's you know, somebody gets their hand up and makes

218
00:11:03,039 --> 00:11:04,279
it and a lot of times you look down the

219
00:11:04,279 --> 00:11:04,919
field and there.

220
00:11:04,759 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 2: It is right he after you threw the first one,

221
00:11:06,879 --> 00:11:08,720
he ripped off what like eighteen.

222
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,919
Speaker 1: In a row and showed what can happen if you

223
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,360
put Texas athletes against the Eranderbilt roster. And that's still

224
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,039
you know, there's still a big talent gap. So kudos

225
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:25,919
to Quinn. I think that we can put the quarterback

226
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:31,279
controversy every drive should we or should we not shake it?

227
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,480
We can put that to rest for the time being.

228
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,159
You make your note over there, you arch lover you.

229
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,480
I see you taking receipts so you can come back

230
00:11:43,519 --> 00:11:43,799
for me.

231
00:11:43,879 --> 00:11:48,039
Speaker 3: And you know what, Saturday November thirtieth, if the Aggies

232
00:11:48,039 --> 00:11:51,799
are out ten nothing in the first quarter and Quinn

233
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:57,120
is three of eight or forty yards, you're telling me

234
00:11:57,279 --> 00:11:58,759
archesn't getting back in the game.

235
00:11:59,039 --> 00:11:59,799
Speaker 1: I'm not putting them in.

236
00:12:01,919 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 3: I'm not You're not Sork three of eight for forty yards.

237
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: I'm not putting them in. I'm riding with my question quarter.

238
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:14,120
I'm riding with my quarterback and half. This is team.

239
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:19,919
Speaker 3: You're down seventeen to three at halftime and Quinn is

240
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,240
three of twelve for fifty eight yards.

241
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: All right, I might go then, I might go, say

242
00:12:24,799 --> 00:12:26,519
if you're down fourteen and a half, I might go then,

243
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,720
but I don't to be honest with you, I'll see happening.

244
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:30,919
You will get there. We get there.

245
00:12:31,519 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 3: Hey, did you see for freezing cold takes? Had your

246
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:35,960
nuts for Hyson pick?

247
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,639
Speaker 1: I saw that you. I saw that. I saw that

248
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,039
you alerted them.

249
00:12:41,279 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 2: I saw that you looked at them with my takes

250
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:44,840
I did.

251
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,519
Speaker 3: I gotta keep you on us. You keep me in check.

252
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,799
I gotta just check, bro, I gotta, I gotta.

253
00:12:50,879 --> 00:12:53,759
Speaker 5: I gotta make sure moving on, because if we keep

254
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,840
talking about our futures and we keep talking about future

255
00:12:56,879 --> 00:12:59,480
future games, we're gonna we're gonna neglect some things that

256
00:12:59,519 --> 00:13:01,200
were we still needed to hit this week.

257
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,639
Speaker 1: Okay, So we talked on this, We talked Texas, we

258
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,960
talked to Bama. We have a great conversation coming up

259
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,840
with with Lou about l s U and Texas A.

260
00:13:09,879 --> 00:13:13,159
And yeah, briefly, let me just say Arkansas's win is

261
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:17,279
fraudulent to me. I just think they outmatched Mississippi State.

262
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,399
Speaker 2: Kudos to the Hogs.

263
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 1: I think you texted me and said, Sam Pittman has

264
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:29,159
has earned himself an extension. Fair, completely, completely fair. They

265
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:33,639
just dominated them all around. But just watching it, you know,

266
00:13:34,799 --> 00:13:37,960
just watching it, it just looks they just look like

267
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,879
they just overmatched them. From a talent standpoint, it still

268
00:13:40,879 --> 00:13:45,960
looks clunky to me. Arkansas, does they look clunky?

269
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 3: Mississippi State?

270
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no no no.

271
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 3: Despite your high praise of Mississippi State.

272
00:13:51,799 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 4: I think Mississippi State, Missisispi State does have a quality

273
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,759
running back in Booth and he shows up on the

274
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,679
high real every week for them, and that's about it.

275
00:14:03,639 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: So I think maybe in time Van Buren can do something.

276
00:14:08,519 --> 00:14:11,080
But we're gonna need some time for that as well.

277
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 3: Okay, that analysis looks he's gonna do something.

278
00:14:14,799 --> 00:14:18,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, well you can tell him, Hedge to my bench,

279
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:22,200
right all right. Game of the week, Craig, Game of

280
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,399
the week. We haven't talked about it. I'm going we're

281
00:14:25,559 --> 00:14:28,960
so excited, you are so excited to hear this. Auburn

282
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,399
at Kentucky also known as Club kroger Man.

283
00:14:33,799 --> 00:14:36,799
Speaker 2: Come on, what game?

284
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,279
Speaker 3: Ten nothing? Ten noth in Kentucky? And then Auburn was

285
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:41,320
off twenty fourth straight.

286
00:14:42,879 --> 00:14:45,639
Speaker 1: It was ten to nothing going into the second quarter,

287
00:14:45,799 --> 00:14:50,279
and Kentucky did not score again. Peyton Thorne listened to it.

288
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,639
Craig twenty of twenty six for a one seventy two,

289
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,320
a touchdown and a pick. And here it is here

290
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,879
it is the stat that wins the game. Our man

291
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,279
Jarquez Hunter for Auburn didn't forget how to run the football.

292
00:15:04,399 --> 00:15:06,639
Despite Hugh Free starting the rest of the team under

293
00:15:06,639 --> 00:15:09,399
the bus, he escaped with his legs intact. And he

294
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:14,440
goes twenty three carries for two seventy eight and two touchdowns.

295
00:15:14,519 --> 00:15:15,440
Are you kidding me?

296
00:15:15,919 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 2: To seventy eight?

297
00:15:18,039 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 3: So here's my question for Hugh why is he not

298
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:23,679
running the balls twenty times a game?

299
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: He's like, well, well I saw that.

300
00:15:29,879 --> 00:15:32,159
Speaker 3: Right, No, but and it worked, look at the score.

301
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:33,320
But here's the deal.

302
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: They ran the forty seven times as a team for

303
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:43,519
three twenty eight every seven yards of carry. Peyton Thorn

304
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,039
ran it twelve times.

305
00:15:46,519 --> 00:15:49,919
Speaker 3: Peyton's like stinky quick. Peyton's got some move, He's got

306
00:15:49,919 --> 00:15:50,200
some move.

307
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: He is he is. You know, I think I think

308
00:15:53,039 --> 00:15:55,639
I would have thought as a as a Michigan State guy,

309
00:15:56,559 --> 00:15:59,279
you know, low key, that you are up there the

310
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:03,279
suburbs of the Troy that you may that you may

311
00:16:03,279 --> 00:16:05,360
have love for Peyton Thorn.

312
00:16:06,279 --> 00:16:10,279
Speaker 3: He ain't thrown Coleman. Okay, So so here's the deal.

313
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,320
What the hell you want me to do with that win?

314
00:16:14,679 --> 00:16:16,159
Auburn is still not great?

315
00:16:16,279 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: Oh, it has nothing to do with the wind, Craig,

316
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,080
this was This was a train wreck meets dumpster fire.

317
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,559
Speaker 2: This has everything to do with the loss.

318
00:16:25,399 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 3: I feel bad for. I got Kevin like Kroger and

319
00:16:30,639 --> 00:16:34,159
true like Kevin does a phenomenal job. He does our

320
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:38,279
bold projections, Kevin mc guffy on the last word, and

321
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,240
he does some great he does a great job. He's

322
00:16:40,279 --> 00:16:42,240
got a good little twitter, He's got some good, good

323
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:46,200
little quips every now and again. But like, damn Stoops

324
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,159
is like hurting. Like so I asked the question to

325
00:16:49,399 --> 00:16:54,279
our good buddy Memphis Spence last night. So is Kentucky

326
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:58,440
done with Stoops? And let me let me tell you

327
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,559
what what Memphis said? You know, Memphis, I always got the

328
00:17:00,559 --> 00:17:02,879
college credit I where it does a great job. But

329
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,640
he laid on some business. He's like, listen, they beat

330
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:10,720
Old miss they were one point away from Georgia. They

331
00:17:10,799 --> 00:17:14,319
become now a football school they're not just a basketball school.

332
00:17:15,519 --> 00:17:18,799
So he thinks he's safe, he's got another couple of years,

333
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:20,920
and it's just like, what are they?

334
00:17:21,319 --> 00:17:23,559
Speaker 2: There are three and five, they're three and five.

335
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 1: They have they have Tennessee next week, who knows what's

336
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:29,160
going to happen there?

337
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,279
Speaker 3: Doctor and Jack mister hi there.

338
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: Then they have Mercy Date, who, again, i'll remind you,

339
00:17:34,599 --> 00:17:37,039
is in the in the first year revenue head coach.

340
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:42,519
So they're down. So that's typical scheduling for steeps. Then

341
00:17:42,559 --> 00:17:47,079
they have Texas and then they finished with Louisville, who

342
00:17:47,319 --> 00:17:51,440
they tend to beat even when Louisville's good. So maybe

343
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,480
you go to and two down the stretch and they're

344
00:17:54,519 --> 00:17:56,640
currently sitting on three and five and that's.

345
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,759
Speaker 2: Five and seven, which, oh, by the way, is what

346
00:17:58,920 --> 00:17:59,720
I picked them to the.

347
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 3: In right like, what what are they doing right right now?

348
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 2: But but what do we what are we doing?

349
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:12,839
Speaker 1: What are we doing with stoops? I don't think they

350
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:14,359
go five and seven just for what it's worth. I

351
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,440
think they're gonna drop more than that. I think they're

352
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:22,880
gonna go fourn eight. I'll have I'll be wrong, I'll

353
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:23,279
be wrong.

354
00:18:25,279 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 3: I don't know. So I think okay, like BBN like

355
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:34,640
Kevins are gonna be like Kevin's gonna throw something at

356
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,000
you on the chat, I think like verbally or something

357
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:37,440
like that.

358
00:18:37,519 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: It's okay.

359
00:18:39,759 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 3: Yeah but anyway, that so okay. So that was a weekend.

360
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:43,319
Speaker 1: All right.

361
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 3: So AI picture now big picture more important.

362
00:18:47,599 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 2: Now, who's left?

363
00:18:50,279 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 3: So we've got I went through. I've got six teams.

364
00:18:55,079 --> 00:18:57,480
Now that we've got left.

365
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:57,759
Speaker 1: Okay, hit me.

366
00:18:57,799 --> 00:19:01,039
Speaker 3: We've got the Aggies. We've got the Aggies obviously, I'm defeated,

367
00:19:01,319 --> 00:19:04,480
got the inside track for the SEC Championship. We've got

368
00:19:04,599 --> 00:19:10,960
l s U, Georgia, Bama, Tennessee, and Old Miss. So

369
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,519
I've got sixteen fort one.

370
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 1: You forgot one?

371
00:19:15,039 --> 00:19:18,400
Speaker 3: No I didn't. Who did I forget? Oh crap, I

372
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:24,559
did forget Texas Hook'm the Minister of Culture. Is gonna

373
00:19:24,599 --> 00:19:28,559
take away at my hook the card we had seventeen.

374
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,519
Speaker 2: You didn't read it all you've sent it in. Go ahead, yeah.

375
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: Yeah.

376
00:19:32,279 --> 00:19:39,759
Speaker 3: So we've got seven teams. Four I'm gonna I'm gonna,

377
00:19:39,759 --> 00:19:42,000
I'm gonna argue and this is gonna be interesting.

378
00:19:42,079 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 1: So we're gonna what's there.

379
00:19:46,519 --> 00:19:48,559
Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell you. The path to get five comes

380
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,440
up November fifth. You know, we're gonna have our good

381
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:54,279
buddy Tony Sarah Goosa, our boss boss Man coming in

382
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,440
to share some knowledge. We're gonna do that instant reaction show.

383
00:19:58,279 --> 00:19:59,720
And this is the biggest thing. I'm gonna look at

384
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,839
the colleg football Playoff right now.

385
00:20:01,839 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 1: We need a good distraction on a number fifth so

386
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,079
that we can really do something. Something else we.

387
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 3: Do we do maybe maybe maybe we'll do like a

388
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,480
live Twitter fore you. We'll take something off MBG or

389
00:20:11,519 --> 00:20:12,119
something like that.

390
00:20:12,759 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 1: But like.

391
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 3: To me, the path to five is going to be

392
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,519
what this college football Playoff comes out, because right now

393
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,200
the Big ten is over inflated. I think when you

394
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:27,039
look at the AP ratings, you've got you've got Ohio

395
00:20:27,039 --> 00:20:31,039
stated four, you've got Penn State at three, or or

396
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,960
you know your your ducks, your beloved ducks. I get

397
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:38,039
they're one, They're okay, they've done it. But I see

398
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:43,440
fraud city from Ohio State. I see from Penn State.

399
00:20:43,759 --> 00:20:49,039
I see fraud City from from Miami. So I believe.

400
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,720
And again this is probably me being also an sec homer,

401
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,319
but I but I at least can admit it. I'm

402
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,279
like some folks. I can admit it. I think we

403
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:01,400
get at least four. And many folks in the media

404
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,839
are talking about three losses may knock you out of

405
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,119
the playoffs. I think they. I see there's gonna be

406
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:12,079
an sec bump, very real because I think the ACC

407
00:21:12,279 --> 00:21:14,400
is only going to get one bid. I think Clemson

408
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,680
is knocking off Miami in the championship. The Big twelve

409
00:21:17,759 --> 00:21:19,920
is only going to get one bid. We're gonna get

410
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,559
b YU coming in from that.

411
00:21:23,599 --> 00:21:24,640
Speaker 1: Can get Big ten.

412
00:21:25,599 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think the Big ten you've got Oregon.

413
00:21:30,839 --> 00:21:33,559
Indiana's probably gonna get something. I think Iowa's going to

414
00:21:33,599 --> 00:21:37,480
get something, and I think Ohio State is going to

415
00:21:37,519 --> 00:21:40,079
be got the odd man looking out. I think they're

416
00:21:40,079 --> 00:21:42,839
going to drop one here. And I think Penn State,

417
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,039
I just I just don't believe in them. So I

418
00:21:47,839 --> 00:21:52,039
I think I think there's probably four teams. So in

419
00:21:52,079 --> 00:21:55,440
that spirit, who's a trick, Who's a treat? Let's go

420
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:59,000
through that list real quick. Texas A and m Maggie's

421
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,880
had a big win trick? Are they in the college

422
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,920
football playoffs? Yeah?

423
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:11,279
Speaker 1: This is this is tough. This is tough because I'm

424
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:15,039
conflicted when we start to look at next week with them.

425
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:20,680
This just feels Let me try to be as unbiased

426
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,559
a trap. This is a trap coming to Williams Brice

427
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:31,119
at nighttime the week after that win over Elisu. I'm

428
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:35,160
there with you, and and then they are headed into

429
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:42,440
a bye week after that, then New Mexico State, then

430
00:22:42,559 --> 00:22:49,079
they have Auburn, and then they have Texas to close

431
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:50,119
it out. It is.

432
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,519
Speaker 3: See that's so here. So here's the deal I.

433
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 1: Think is can you look ahead already? Can we sell

434
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,319
that as a look ahead already? South Carolina? Yeah, bye week,

435
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:08,680
New Mexico State, Auburn, then Texas. This is your best.

436
00:23:09,559 --> 00:23:13,759
Speaker 3: Yeah. Before Here's the thing, even with all the Auburn slander,

437
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,119
Auburn Jordan here is probably gonna be a seven thirty game,

438
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,599
which shot out to ESPN P these flexiames. I love

439
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:24,799
what they're doing. Tiger State Night. Yeah, Tiger State Knight's

440
00:23:24,799 --> 00:23:28,039
gonna be tough South Carolina and the defense they are

441
00:23:28,079 --> 00:23:31,880
playing confident. So I think I think there's some couple

442
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,200
of traps are because everyone's looking ahead to when the

443
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,079
Longhorns come on the thirtieth. But that that that to me,

444
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:39,839
is gonna be tough right there. I think that's gonna

445
00:23:39,839 --> 00:23:40,880
be real tough.

446
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,079
Speaker 1: So if we're asking the question trick or treat, I

447
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:44,640
say track.

448
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 3: I'm there with you.

449
00:23:47,839 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 1: I don't believe they are saying track, because the thing is,

450
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,559
even if they even if they win up until the

451
00:23:53,559 --> 00:24:00,039
Texas game, I'm gonna go Longhorns in that game, and

452
00:24:00,039 --> 00:24:06,119
then I'm gonna go with even if you get a rematch,

453
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,000
I think that they're gonna lose somewhere in there, and

454
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,799
you're gonna up with two to three losses. So I

455
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:12,720
just I think so.

456
00:24:12,799 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 3: I think Alburn, South Carolina one of the two give them.

457
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:20,480
Can we both agree? Georgia then I'm most so. I'm

458
00:24:20,519 --> 00:24:22,839
most curious to see how Georgia is this week. We

459
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,680
got the cocktail party, but I think Georgia they're gonna

460
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:26,039
kill him.

461
00:24:26,839 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 1: They're going to kill them. It opened at sixteen and

462
00:24:29,279 --> 00:24:31,880
a half. This is Georgia Florida. Just in case you

463
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,400
didn't catch that. Georgia and Florida opens. Georgia opens a

464
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,880
sixteen and a half point favorite. I'm going over. I

465
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,799
don't even think it's close. I've been a noted Florida

466
00:24:40,799 --> 00:24:45,640
hater all year. Yep, this is not Kentucky. I know

467
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:49,039
they just won forty eight to twenty. This is not Kentucky.

468
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 3: No, it's not Kirby Florida Kurby.

469
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 1: It's not I know, it's not happening that people have

470
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,720
the defense ready to go. You got two freshmen leading

471
00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,960
Florida at the quarterback in the running back position. It's not.

472
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 2: Oh anyway, sorry, So no, no, let's go George.

473
00:25:04,799 --> 00:25:08,319
Speaker 1: I'm Georgia.

474
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:14,559
Speaker 3: So Bama. I'm being honest. It comes down to two

475
00:25:14,559 --> 00:25:16,400
weeks from now. We're going to talk to Lewis here

476
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:22,119
in just a minute. I believe in Alabama and that's

477
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:26,319
probably me being a scared Georgia fan. I believe in them,

478
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,319
and I think they're going to take care of business.

479
00:25:29,599 --> 00:25:30,759
So I think they're in.

480
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 1: I'm conflicted because I would have I've picked LSU to

481
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,640
beat them already.

482
00:25:41,759 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 3: You can be wrong. It's okay, I can be but

483
00:25:45,759 --> 00:25:48,039
I'm wrong in Kentucky. You can be wrong. You can

484
00:25:48,079 --> 00:25:48,960
be wrong on Bama.

485
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:55,839
Speaker 1: I don't know that I'm I don't know that I'm

486
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,799
ready to say that I'm that I disagree with that

487
00:25:58,839 --> 00:26:03,359
pick that I still think it's a good matchup in

488
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,799
terms of giving us a good game, you know what

489
00:26:05,839 --> 00:26:09,359
I mean? Like with nuss Meyer and those weapons, and

490
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,920
Florida's secondary, I mean Alabama secondary. Looking the way they have,

491
00:26:13,759 --> 00:26:16,000
I think they else. You can put up points.

492
00:26:18,559 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 3: I think forty one, seeh forty four. I think it's

493
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:27,240
I think it's see what I mean.

494
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:28,799
Speaker 1: See what I mean by that's a one score game.

495
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,000
I can see that. I can see that easily. I

496
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,079
can see that easily. But I'm not just willing to say, like,

497
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,640
stomp my foot down, this is what's gonna happen.

498
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 2: So Bama, I'll.

499
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:40,559
Speaker 1: Go against you. I'm gonna say this a trick. They're out.

500
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 3: Okay, Well about the Missouri culture.

501
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: There, they're in there, in there too much, they have

502
00:26:50,039 --> 00:26:51,880
too much, they have too much talent. Where are they

503
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,160
gonna lose? Maybe Aim.

504
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,799
Speaker 3: So we have locks for sure, we have U G

505
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,519
A Tech. You're out, Obama. I'm in on Bama.

506
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:03,640
Speaker 1: All right.

507
00:27:03,759 --> 00:27:05,759
Speaker 3: Let's lump them together because I think they're very similar.

508
00:27:06,519 --> 00:27:12,599
Tennessee and Old miss We think they're higher, but they

509
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,559
have a tendency sometimes to play down to their competition.

510
00:27:17,039 --> 00:27:22,559
The difference between the two is Jackson Dark. Jackson Dark

511
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:28,039
absolutely three twelve games with over three hurs passing. It

512
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:33,359
set a new old Miss record plus that defense again

513
00:27:33,599 --> 00:27:36,680
is elite. I think I think it is. It has

514
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:40,640
the ability to be an elite. And let's be honest,

515
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:45,000
here's the difference for Ole Miss this year. They lost

516
00:27:45,039 --> 00:27:49,119
to Kentucky a few weeks ago. Yep, they've been able

517
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,359
to bounce back Oklahoma. If you watch that game in

518
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,200
the first half, that's a game In most years, Old

519
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,880
Miss probably loses that game again and there then they're out.

520
00:27:59,039 --> 00:28:02,640
The ability for them to come back outscore Oklahoma seventeen

521
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:06,119
to nothing in the second half. Have the sacks take

522
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,039
care of business, dark takes care of business. Pre scoring

523
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:10,839
is a studded tight end.

524
00:28:12,319 --> 00:28:14,599
Speaker 2: The end of the they need to work with the

525
00:28:14,599 --> 00:28:14,960
tight end.

526
00:28:15,759 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 3: Yep. But at the end of the day, I think

527
00:28:18,759 --> 00:28:21,119
Ole Miss comes in at that eleven spot that we're

528
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,240
not gonna be home, so the city grocery, we're gonna

529
00:28:24,279 --> 00:28:26,519
have to take a rain check. We're not gonna be there.

530
00:28:26,559 --> 00:28:28,920
But that's gonna be that's gonna be an issue. But

531
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,799
I think almost gets it. They're gonna lose one more

532
00:28:31,799 --> 00:28:34,200
than Georgia. They're gonna get ten three.

533
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,559
Speaker 1: I think they're out because of that loss nine three.

534
00:28:38,559 --> 00:28:40,799
I think I think I think they don't let a

535
00:28:40,799 --> 00:28:42,599
three loss. I think there's never room for a three

536
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:47,000
loss in. They're gonna put another big change in my opinion.

537
00:28:47,319 --> 00:28:50,559
So you said the difference is Jackson Dark, I'm gonna

538
00:28:50,559 --> 00:28:53,839
say the difference is Kentucky. Tennessee beats Kentucky next week

539
00:28:54,279 --> 00:28:57,079
and ole Miss has already lost to them, So they

540
00:28:57,119 --> 00:29:00,559
both have Georgia left, and I think Georgia beats them both.

541
00:29:01,039 --> 00:29:05,680
But that's gonna lead Tennessee ball with two losses and

542
00:29:06,039 --> 00:29:08,440
Old Miss with three, and so one of them gets in.

543
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,920
I'm going to go Tennessee, all right. So I think

544
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,759
I think Ole Miss is a better team, just to

545
00:29:14,799 --> 00:29:16,400
be fair, and I think if you match them up,

546
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:17,640
Vegas favors Old Miss.

547
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 2: But I think that that's not what the committee is

548
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:19,960
gonna look at.

549
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,359
Speaker 3: Well, that's fair. That's fair. And if you look at

550
00:29:23,359 --> 00:29:25,319
my shirt, if you were watching at home, you got

551
00:29:25,319 --> 00:29:27,400
to see I got the Old Miss ReBs Rock then

552
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:33,359
today yep. So my treats, I've got u g a Bama,

553
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:39,480
Old Miss Texas, and I'm gonna say the Eggies get

554
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:40,000
in at five.

555
00:29:41,799 --> 00:29:48,839
Speaker 1: I don't believe in them, man, Yeah, So I'm going

556
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,480
Uja and Texas are in for sure. Like I said,

557
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:52,400
I think Bama's out.

558
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,319
Speaker 3: Don't forget hang on in. Let me tell you something.

559
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:02,079
Don't forget. The college football Playoff is about ratings. If

560
00:30:02,119 --> 00:30:05,440
you're reading your sense betting lines last week, people like

561
00:30:05,559 --> 00:30:06,440
to watch the SEC.

562
00:30:07,359 --> 00:30:10,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so I'm gonna actually, I'm gonna keep riding

563
00:30:10,599 --> 00:30:16,640
the wagon. I'm gonna go ASU because if they be Alabama,

564
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,640
and they are, they're too long.

565
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 3: Who's your fourteenths? You got Texas, George.

566
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: Texas, Georgia, LSU and this last one comes down to

567
00:30:27,519 --> 00:30:31,920
A and M or Tennessee. I'm gonna go Tennessee.

568
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,119
Speaker 3: Dialley is gonna come sing about playoff games.

569
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: I don't like it. I don't like it. I don't

570
00:30:40,759 --> 00:30:42,759
like it. I still don't even think they're good. I

571
00:30:42,759 --> 00:30:44,960
don't believe in them, but I just think the schedule.

572
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,079
We've said it from the beginning. This goes back to

573
00:30:48,119 --> 00:30:50,960
the Missouri argument. Who's still six and two and theoretically

574
00:30:51,039 --> 00:30:57,200
has a shot mathematically, mathematically, they have a shot on

575
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:01,200
the field, just shot. They don't have a shot on

576
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,599
the field, but they mathematically have a shot because they

577
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:04,319
could win out.

578
00:31:05,319 --> 00:31:07,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, Drew Pine is gonna make sure you're going to

579
00:31:07,079 --> 00:31:09,359
throw it to the other team and not not goot shot,

580
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:10,119
so don't worry about it.

581
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,039
Speaker 1: Well, if Brady Cook comes back and they get no

582
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:13,559
l back, it looks a little different.

583
00:31:13,599 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 2: But yeah, I still don't I still don't see it.

584
00:31:17,279 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 1: Okay, So in the immediacy of next week, in thirty seconds.

585
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:27,720
In thirty seconds, you have Old miss at Arkansas. That's

586
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:31,640
a sneaky good matchup. You have Vandy and Auburn. Can

587
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:35,839
bandy get Bowl eligible against against Hugh Freeze. At twelve

588
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:39,839
forty five on the SC network, you got Oklahoma against

589
00:31:40,359 --> 00:31:41,759
what your your your.

590
00:31:41,559 --> 00:31:45,079
Speaker 3: Guy, what banana bananaataty.

591
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:48,079
Speaker 1: Bananas te Bear, Uh the cocktail Party, which I think

592
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:52,720
is going to be completely uneventful. A second SEC team

593
00:31:52,759 --> 00:31:55,759
plays U Mass when Mississippi State looks for win number

594
00:31:55,799 --> 00:31:58,200
two on the season. It's the two and six minute

595
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,240
men Kentucky and Tennis give us a night cap. On

596
00:32:01,279 --> 00:32:04,640
a C network is seven forty five and oh yeah, ABC,

597
00:32:04,839 --> 00:32:08,240
the seven thirty game in Williams Bryce Aggie's come in

598
00:32:08,799 --> 00:32:11,039
and uh that I think it's gonna be a good matchup.

599
00:32:11,079 --> 00:32:13,880
It's a three and a half point line for taste

600
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:14,559
A and m right now.

601
00:32:14,599 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 3: So watch that old miss Arkansas game if there's one

602
00:32:18,839 --> 00:32:22,559
to watch. Yep, those ones always get weird. That one

603
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,400
always something weird happens. Ass al my Famiel, she'll tell

604
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:29,519
you all about it. Arkansas has a tendency to break

605
00:32:29,559 --> 00:32:34,119
old missus heart. They are feeling good. Watch the frost,

606
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:38,839
watch the cold. That that one that that that to me,

607
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:40,519
I've got my eye on. And then of course I

608
00:32:40,559 --> 00:32:43,680
got my my on your game. Cocks host in Texas.

609
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:43,759
Speaker 6: A and M.

610
00:32:44,519 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 1: For sure we'll be We'll be locked in this is

611
00:32:47,319 --> 00:32:49,440
it just means more football and coffee. We'll be back

612
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,759
in just second with a great conversation with our friend

613
00:32:51,839 --> 00:32:56,039
Lewis Johnson Last Word on College Football covering the LSU Tigers.

614
00:32:57,799 --> 00:33:00,880
Welcome back to it just means more football and coffee again.

615
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,839
I'm Rob Williams. He is Craig McMichael, and we are here.

616
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,960
We are honored to be joined by our guests here,

617
00:33:09,079 --> 00:33:14,160
Lewis Johnson covering LSU for Last Word on College Football.

618
00:33:15,079 --> 00:33:18,880
So listen, lou tell us just right off the bat,

619
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,119
we're twenty four hours removed. How are you?

620
00:33:22,799 --> 00:33:24,599
Speaker 2: How's Louisiana as a state?

621
00:33:25,039 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 1: Look, we understand, there's there's nothing else there right in

622
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,960
terms of college, In terms of colleges, you can miss

623
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,519
me with the two lane stuff like, this is an

624
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:38,319
LSU dominated dominated state. So how's everything going? Are people?

625
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,559
Are we closing down bridges? What's what's happening down there?

626
00:33:41,599 --> 00:33:44,119
Is everybody ready to keep pushing forward? Or are we

627
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:45,119
closing the season now?

628
00:33:46,279 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 6: So I'm fine, personally, I'm good, but the state is

629
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:53,079
still pretty fist. It's the end of the world for

630
00:33:53,119 --> 00:33:57,160
probably eighty percent of the fan base. But if you

631
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,440
got some people that kind of understand, you know that

632
00:34:00,039 --> 00:34:02,759
in a season like this, it's ups and downs. Nobody's

633
00:34:02,759 --> 00:34:06,519
perfect and it's not the end of the world. It

634
00:34:06,599 --> 00:34:11,239
looked terrible, So everybody's a little little bear, a little surprised.

635
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,199
Speaker 3: But yeah, for the most.

636
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,639
Speaker 1: Part, it was weird. Man.

637
00:34:16,679 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 3: It was like it was like a Tale of two

638
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,719
half shoester that wasn't it was? It was it was

639
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,199
twenty one seven. I was going to send you a note,

640
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:25,840
I was going to get you all hyped up. But

641
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,280
then you know, my buddy over here was saying, oh, Craig,

642
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:32,199
you're being the jinx. And then the second half was like,

643
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:34,840
what the hell, have we ever started to read out?

644
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:36,840
You did a great job I think in your analysis

645
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:41,320
day last word, you know, really talking about how Texas

646
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:44,119
A and M was just able to do that. You

647
00:34:44,159 --> 00:34:47,440
know that read option and you know Blake Baker is

648
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,159
a great defensive coordinated a lot of really good stuff

649
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,239
at Missouri last last year, but just did not have

650
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:57,719
any answers at all. Were you impressed with like what

651
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,039
Kelly said? You know, like how do you know what

652
00:35:00,199 --> 00:35:02,679
was Kelly's reaction after the game with that? And like,

653
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:04,920
you know, was he throwing Baker under the bus? Was

654
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,440
he was he pulling a hught freezer? You know he did?

655
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:08,760
Did he take some accountability for that?

656
00:35:10,679 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 6: He took accountability in his own way.

657
00:35:13,199 --> 00:35:13,320
Speaker 1: Uh.

658
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 6: The way Kelly kind of goes about that type of

659
00:35:18,039 --> 00:35:20,880
deal is you throw a few people under the bus

660
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:22,400
and then he says something.

661
00:35:22,199 --> 00:35:24,679
Speaker 3: To the effect, but ultimately it's my job and it's

662
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:25,159
my fault.

663
00:35:25,159 --> 00:35:26,119
Speaker 1: I've got to coach better.

664
00:35:26,519 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 6: So it took responsibility to an extent when it comes

665
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:35,039
to Baker. Look our purposely with this. I have a

666
00:35:35,079 --> 00:35:38,840
lot of confidence in Baker the DC. But one of

667
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,920
the comments from inside line back of Greg Ken was

668
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:45,639
pretty telling. When he says that we did not prepare

669
00:35:46,039 --> 00:35:49,800
for Marcel Reid, and it's kind of shocking. It's not

670
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,920
like a guy that's come out of nowhere. He started

671
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:57,000
a few games, We've seen the skill set. He's honestly

672
00:35:57,079 --> 00:35:59,880
been more consistent than Wegman has been all year. So

673
00:36:00,079 --> 00:36:01,440
how do you not prepare it for him? How do

674
00:36:01,519 --> 00:36:04,800
you not see a scenario where this guy could come in?

675
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,000
And I was I was pretty surprised by how we

676
00:36:08,199 --> 00:36:11,760
reacted as a defense to Reed's presence.

677
00:36:12,559 --> 00:36:14,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a big deal. Think I think that when

678
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,159
you saw Reed come in earlier in the season and

679
00:36:17,199 --> 00:36:19,960
then they they just went back to Wegman without question.

680
00:36:20,639 --> 00:36:22,800
Speaker 2: I feel like, not to make an excuse for Baker, but.

681
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:27,599
Speaker 1: Just from an onlooker standpoint, you get the idea that

682
00:36:27,639 --> 00:36:29,719
maybe Marshall Reed is just going to be the backup

683
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:31,360
this year, and they kind of have their minds made

684
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,559
up on that, because it did appear to me that

685
00:36:33,599 --> 00:36:36,320
when he had to start for Weigman due to the injury,

686
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,880
that he played really well and I kind of expected

687
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:40,880
them to maybe try to stick it out with him.

688
00:36:41,559 --> 00:36:44,679
That's not what happened, So I feel like it was

689
00:36:44,679 --> 00:36:46,400
a shock to me to see him come in to

690
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:48,599
say the least. In your opinion, though we talked about Baker,

691
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,280
who's more to blame for the loss? Baker and us Myer.

692
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:58,159
Speaker 6: Lord to blame out. I'll say that's my because even

693
00:36:58,159 --> 00:37:03,000
though they didn't prepare specific lee core Reid, from what

694
00:37:03,079 --> 00:37:06,000
I saw, he had the correct calls on some of

695
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:09,199
these plays. The execution, Weather's there, and I think the

696
00:37:09,199 --> 00:37:12,079
the shift of momentum after the interception, then you get

697
00:37:12,119 --> 00:37:15,480
Read comes in and immediately runs for a touchdown. I

698
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:17,280
think they were a little shell shocks by that on

699
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:21,400
both sides of the ball. So I think Baker didn't

700
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:25,480
necessarily have bad calls. You had guys they were playing

701
00:37:25,519 --> 00:37:28,639
with bad eye discipline, You had defensive ends biting down

702
00:37:28,639 --> 00:37:33,880
the line. Assignment sound football kind of went out the window. Uh,

703
00:37:34,119 --> 00:37:36,559
And that's my you know, we tend to forget that

704
00:37:36,679 --> 00:37:39,280
even though he's an older guy, he hasn't played a

705
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:42,199
lot the first year starting. But some of these throws

706
00:37:42,199 --> 00:37:46,280
are just inexcusable, you know, and you know you're going

707
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:49,079
to get a couple of them every game, but uh,

708
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,480
when you're you're trying to keep the momentum or you're

709
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:54,239
trying to build some momentum and you roll them out,

710
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:57,199
you're thrown across your body and uh the checkdown at

711
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,639
the end, like you don't really have anything to gain

712
00:37:59,679 --> 00:38:01,880
from throw it to this guy anyway, You throw a

713
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,960
pit out in front of him, like come on, So

714
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,960
I like Nuts, I'll still one hundred percent behind him.

715
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,360
But if I had to put more blame on one

716
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,519
of those guys, I put more Onnas thing I do.

717
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:16,199
Speaker 3: My Baker and you and you did a good job,

718
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:19,000
I think pointing that out in your article uh today,

719
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,320
you know you talked about you know, Nuts really has

720
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,400
to kind of do it because there's not really a

721
00:38:25,519 --> 00:38:28,519
running game to really speak up with LSU right now.

722
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:32,840
Basically they're going to thrive on you know how well

723
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:36,639
lust fire does from that. With that kind of being said,

724
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:40,960
let's look, I had the two weeks obviously, the Tigers

725
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:45,039
come back home. Then we've got that familiar opponent Alabama

726
00:38:45,079 --> 00:38:47,239
coming in, and it's gonna set up to be some

727
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,400
fireworks because that is going to be one of our

728
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:54,039
playoff game matchups where you know, the loser of that

729
00:38:54,079 --> 00:38:58,119
one has you know, three losses more than likely on

730
00:38:58,159 --> 00:39:00,840
the outside outside going out, But if you take a

731
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,559
look at it, it's gonna come down to does not

732
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:06,559
Smier take care of the ball. But I think more

733
00:39:06,599 --> 00:39:11,920
importantly in that second half, how does LSU contain you know,

734
00:39:12,119 --> 00:39:14,400
and I can say this as a Georgia writer, how

735
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,199
do they contain Jalen Miller and keep them in the pocket?

736
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,880
You know, give us a little a little preview of

737
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,039
your thoughts of kind of where that is. You know,

738
00:39:23,039 --> 00:39:25,079
I'm on the right track. They're thinking about smart, thinking

739
00:39:25,119 --> 00:39:27,880
about that that that run defense. You know, are we

740
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:29,519
missing something now?

741
00:39:29,559 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 6: You're absolutely on the right track, especially after what we

742
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:36,000
saw yesterday. So the tough thing to figure out about

743
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:39,559
this team is we've seen improvement throughout the year and

744
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:42,760
that doesn't all go away just because of yesterday. You know,

745
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:47,039
it takes a pretty good quarterback. And I think Green

746
00:39:47,199 --> 00:39:51,079
from markansall the week before containing them, we've seen what

747
00:39:51,159 --> 00:39:54,519
Green can do. He's like, uh, kind of reminds me

748
00:39:54,599 --> 00:39:58,679
of Sailors from South Carolina, but he's more accurate. They

749
00:39:58,679 --> 00:40:03,599
didn't the Sailors that will, particularly running the ball. So

750
00:40:03,679 --> 00:40:06,599
do we get to South Carolina LSU defense or do

751
00:40:06,679 --> 00:40:10,440
we get the Arkansas NSU defense? And I think Baker

752
00:40:10,559 --> 00:40:14,039
with that's you time to prepare, should have something in place.

753
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:18,519
But I think a lot of it is preparation and

754
00:40:18,559 --> 00:40:22,800
getting these guys to the right mentality. You look at Red.

755
00:40:24,199 --> 00:40:28,639
We played against some Arkansas a couple of weeks back. Yeah,

756
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:34,559
thirteen yards rushing yead sixty two in one half, not

757
00:40:34,639 --> 00:40:36,760
even a whole half against US, So I think the

758
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,679
majority of it comes down to preparation. But we know

759
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:41,960
what mil Roe can do, and he's hide and cold.

760
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:45,800
But if we can contain him, we should be looking

761
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:46,800
good at home.

762
00:40:48,079 --> 00:40:51,079
Speaker 1: I think that Milro has really tried to establish himself

763
00:40:51,119 --> 00:40:53,519
as a passer this year, more so than a runner,

764
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:55,679
and that maybe has come back to bite them a

765
00:40:55,679 --> 00:40:57,480
little bit. In a couple of situations, I would look

766
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:58,880
for him to maybe run the ball a little bit,

767
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,639
especially looking at the two of what just happened with Lsu,

768
00:41:01,639 --> 00:41:03,199
I would look for him to take off a little bit.

769
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:05,400
Crazy thing to me is that Marshall Reith throws two

770
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:08,400
passes and the whole time that he's in there, so

771
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:11,239
it's really just zone read that he's going for lewis

772
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:13,679
one thing I wanted to mention before we before I

773
00:41:14,119 --> 00:41:17,360
kind of asked something about coaching. Is the element that

774
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:19,840
I expected to be successful for LSU in this game

775
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:23,039
has been the emergence of the running game, and it

776
00:41:23,079 --> 00:41:25,360
was virtually you pointed this out in your article virtually

777
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:28,400
non existent last night. I think that that hurts us

778
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:31,480
as well, right Like, if if any defense knows that

779
00:41:31,519 --> 00:41:34,360
you've become one dimensional, they're going to tee off. What

780
00:41:35,119 --> 00:41:38,679
in your estimation was the cause of none of those

781
00:41:38,679 --> 00:41:41,239
backs being able to get going. We've talked about this

782
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:45,519
highly touted offensive line throughout the season, and even if

783
00:41:45,559 --> 00:41:47,199
you add back the sack yardage, I think it was

784
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:51,199
like thirty eight total yards Russian for the Tigers yesterday.

785
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:55,159
So what were your thoughts? It just seems strange to me.

786
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:57,440
That's the one it's going under the radar, but it's

787
00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,320
a completely unexpected element of the game.

788
00:42:00,639 --> 00:42:04,599
Speaker 6: My thoughts on that was the interior of LSU offensive

789
00:42:04,679 --> 00:42:08,760
line really got it sposed. You saw some improvement and

790
00:42:09,159 --> 00:42:11,880
after Arkansaw you're thinking that, okayl if you've got something

791
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:16,440
going right now. I got to give Tensis there on

792
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:20,840
them credit first and foremost. They have an incredible defensive line,

793
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:24,000
and you saw miss give us give LSU some of

794
00:42:24,039 --> 00:42:27,480
the same issue running the ball and putting the game

795
00:42:27,519 --> 00:42:29,400
completely and less his hands.

796
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:30,119
Speaker 3: So I think.

797
00:42:31,599 --> 00:42:34,599
Speaker 6: From an offensive standpoint, if you Joe Sloan, you have

798
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:36,920
to be more creative. And if you ask Brian Kelly,

799
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:39,559
here's you understand. We're doing everything we can do. But

800
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:43,519
from what I'm saying, lsu isn't uh. You know, you

801
00:42:43,519 --> 00:42:46,840
gotta throw some my candy, some misdirection. If you're getting

802
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:49,840
whipped up front, then you got to do something to

803
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:54,079
make the defense hesitate. So let's put Zavion Thomas in motion.

804
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:56,440
Let him take some handoffs from the backfield. That's been

805
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:57,880
a faith of all year, but they kind of go

806
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:01,840
away from it. I'm even know up into wildcat formation.

807
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,960
You got athletes, let's make the most of them. Don't

808
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:08,639
don't be so married to what you want to do

809
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:12,280
the way you're just giving up plays. So many plays

810
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:16,519
last night never stood a chance. Your center and you

811
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,159
had one backup guard in there that came in after

812
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:22,400
the elergy got hurt and left guard. They were getting

813
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:25,039
pushed three four yards in the backfield. So that's going

814
00:43:25,119 --> 00:43:26,800
to kill anything you want to do. So you got

815
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:30,119
to change it up a little bit in order to

816
00:43:30,119 --> 00:43:34,400
get something going if you can't run the ball. Let's

817
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:37,480
use an example of the play where A and them

818
00:43:37,519 --> 00:43:41,280
showed man and pre snap and they switched to his own. Well,

819
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,199
you can't do that if you have to worry about

820
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:46,000
the run game, like it just opens up so much

821
00:43:46,559 --> 00:43:50,239
for a defense when you don't have any run game whatsoever.

822
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that. You know, Kate Durham's been just

823
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:59,840
a great surprise for me from the LGY perspective all year,

824
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:01,559
and I would look for him to maybe get it going.

825
00:44:02,119 --> 00:44:04,119
Just looking at Alabama over the course of the season,

826
00:44:04,519 --> 00:44:07,000
we've seen some holes in their secondary, but you know,

827
00:44:07,079 --> 00:44:11,119
teams have been successful on them from an offensive standpoint,

828
00:44:11,519 --> 00:44:13,320
both both passing and running the ball.

829
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:15,280
Speaker 2: So I would look for maybe to get a little

830
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:17,239
more balanced. After two weeks.

831
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 1: You talk about Baker having two weeks of prep, you

832
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:21,320
know the offense is gonna have two weeks of prep

833
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:23,079
as well to go into this game. So you know

834
00:44:23,159 --> 00:44:26,119
you're looking at what's gonna be a de facto kind

835
00:44:26,119 --> 00:44:30,440
of elimination game. We kind of said that about this

836
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:32,960
week's game, but now we really have a situation going

837
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:34,519
into a couple of weeks from now where you're gonna

838
00:44:34,519 --> 00:44:37,719
have BAM LSU both with two losses and looking at

839
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,599
having a an outside shot at the playoff as we

840
00:44:41,639 --> 00:44:43,960
stand today. But if you lose that game, you can

841
00:44:44,039 --> 00:44:46,800
just about guarantee that you're out. So a lot of

842
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:49,199
height leading up to it, a lot of thoughts, Craig,

843
00:44:49,199 --> 00:44:50,679
do you have anything? I have one more? Do you

844
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:53,320
have anything before we before before I throw you under

845
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:54,119
the bus and wrap.

846
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:57,239
Speaker 3: It up, You're gonna throw me under the bus.

847
00:44:57,519 --> 00:44:58,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, how could you ever?

848
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:01,519
Speaker 3: How could you have ever throw me out of Uh?

849
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:03,920
Just kind of I think Lewis just kind of get

850
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:09,199
a temperature check. Let's say L s U makes a playoff.

851
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:12,400
I think I think that's the expectation this year. If

852
00:45:12,559 --> 00:45:16,039
L s U falls short of that, is Brian Kelly

853
00:45:16,039 --> 00:45:18,639
in trouble? I mean, so we're gonna have year three

854
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:24,920
made an SEC championship but has not won an SEC championship.

855
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:28,760
We'll miss one this year. Do you see him in

856
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:33,159
trouble or is he? Is he stable? And I'm gonna

857
00:45:33,199 --> 00:45:36,400
be honest, that's the only angst I have is my

858
00:45:36,519 --> 00:45:39,079
an is more against Brian Kelly than against anybody else.

859
00:45:39,079 --> 00:45:39,840
Well enjoyed there.

860
00:45:40,599 --> 00:45:42,559
Speaker 1: He just threw himself and he just threw himself into

861
00:45:42,559 --> 00:45:44,840
traffic because that's what I was gonna say. While I

862
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:49,800
have been high the bad bingles throughout the year, Craig

863
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:52,159
has some bone to pick with Brian Kelly, and I'm

864
00:45:52,199 --> 00:45:53,280
not really sure what it's about.

865
00:45:56,159 --> 00:45:57,800
Speaker 3: Swear to that? Is it?

866
00:45:57,960 --> 00:45:58,079
Speaker 1: That?

867
00:45:58,199 --> 00:45:59,199
Speaker 3: Is it? That?

868
00:45:59,199 --> 00:46:02,800
Speaker 1: That whatever? So he's been anti LSU. He's been very

869
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:05,760
anti LSU when I've been pointing the finger at hey,

870
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:07,719
watch out, they're going to be good. I picked him

871
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:13,159
at ten and two back in the spring, so we'll see. Yeah, yeah,

872
00:46:13,199 --> 00:46:15,599
what do you think is he in trouble if they

873
00:46:15,599 --> 00:46:17,199
lose the game and they end up with an eight

874
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:17,920
or nine season.

875
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:22,039
Speaker 6: Well, let's be honest. First off, you know Kelly contends

876
00:46:22,039 --> 00:46:24,639
to rub people the wrong way, So no home, no

877
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:28,719
foul Craig. But uh no, he's not in trouble this year.

878
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:31,800
It puts extra pressure on him for next year. If

879
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,920
you look at him, he came into a pretty tough situation.

880
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:38,480
You go, you take a six and seventeen, you go

881
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:41,880
nine and four, you go ten and three. So let's

882
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:45,639
say you lose three games again, Well it's not ideal,

883
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:49,039
but it could be a lot worse. And you're heading

884
00:46:49,039 --> 00:46:52,000
into a season where you got the best recruiting players

885
00:46:52,039 --> 00:46:54,440
that you've had since you've been here. You've got the

886
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:57,440
top quarterback in the country, top running back, and top

887
00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:02,960
cornerback in some areas up concerned for LSU, so before

888
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:06,679
they would be willing to run them off and pay them.

889
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:11,840
Uh but best load of cash. You'd give him another side,

890
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:14,599
but he'd have more pressure on going into twenty five

891
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:20,239
if this, if LSU had the disappointed finish.

892
00:47:19,159 --> 00:47:21,159
Speaker 3: That makes sense, all right, And real quick, we're hanging

893
00:47:21,159 --> 00:47:24,440
real quick. Underwood is like an hour from my house,

894
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:26,760
and there's a good chance I want to go see

895
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:28,719
him play. I'm gonna go see him sling the ball

896
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:30,079
around before he gets on the batter.

897
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:33,400
Speaker 1: So look forward to sneak, sneak a video, sneak a video,

898
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:35,000
and send the film down to Loo and make sure

899
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:38,000
we get it on the last football Hey, hey, hey,

900
00:47:38,199 --> 00:47:42,039
one thing, one quick thing, one quick thing, lou before

901
00:47:42,039 --> 00:47:43,920
we get you out of here. We're two weeks out

902
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:47,239
from a clash of Titans in the history of college football,

903
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:48,639
and then we have the current version of them in

904
00:47:48,679 --> 00:47:50,960
twenty twenty four. What are your thoughts? I'm not asking

905
00:47:51,039 --> 00:47:52,719
nasty for a game pick or a couple of weeks out.

906
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:54,679
Speaker 2: But how are you leaning if you had if you

907
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:55,320
have to lean one.

908
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 1: Way or the other, L s U, Alabama, which way

909
00:47:57,440 --> 00:47:59,679
are you gonna fall? Right now? Man?

910
00:48:00,079 --> 00:48:02,559
Speaker 6: I try my best to be objective, but when I

911
00:48:02,599 --> 00:48:07,000
look at Alabama last time, I watched him closely against Tennessee,

912
00:48:07,039 --> 00:48:10,239
and I'm watching guys run free in the secondary, and

913
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:14,960
Nico missed a lot of them. Not to say that

914
00:48:15,079 --> 00:48:18,719
unless it's gonna hit every pass, but you keep letting

915
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:21,679
guys run free like that, and you get Chris Hilton

916
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:25,119
back yesterday, which is the best d threat, which opens

917
00:48:25,199 --> 00:48:27,719
up a lot of things for our other receivers. We

918
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,920
got some possession guys and some big guys, but uh,

919
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:34,199
Chris Hilton can really take the top of the defense.

920
00:48:35,159 --> 00:48:37,119
Speaker 3: And even if he even if.

921
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:39,159
Speaker 6: You don't target him, then you got more space for

922
00:48:39,199 --> 00:48:41,840
an Aaron Anderson who took one seventy five yards yesterday.

923
00:48:42,599 --> 00:48:46,639
So at home, I gotta lean LSU. But I will

924
00:48:46,679 --> 00:48:50,480
say this, if their run game doesn't get going, it's

925
00:48:50,519 --> 00:48:52,840
gonna be a lot of the same that you saw yesterday.

926
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:57,519
Speaker 1: Yep. Absolutely, thank you so much for being with us. Lewis.

927
00:48:57,519 --> 00:49:01,079
You can check him out on X at CFB lou

928

and we're excited to see what else you does for

929
00:49:03,679 --> 00:49:05,679

00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:08,039
but it was great talking to you and getting some

931
00:49:08,159 --> 00:49:11,039

00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:46,800
I actually set up at the end of the driveway

959
00:50:47,119 --> 00:50:49,280
and the neighbors came over. We had some wine. It

960
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:52,360
was fantastic. We're giving out wine. We were drinking. We're

961
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:55,400
drinking wine, We're passing out candy. We were not passing

962
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:57,039
out wine. We were not doing any of that stuff.

963
00:50:57,039 --> 00:50:59,480
There's none of that going on. But uh, you know,

964
00:50:59,599 --> 00:51:02,119
I I love the holiday. I think I think it's fantastic.

965
00:51:02,559 --> 00:51:04,199
You get to go dress up, you get to go

966
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:06,760
have a little bit of fun. In my younger days,

967
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:08,760
I've been known to be we had a party or two.

968
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:11,880
Now I'm a little older, a little wiser, I'm not

969
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:13,760
doing that as much. What about you, my friend?

970
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:16,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I'm looking forward to. Our neighborhood is

971
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:19,599
really set up well for trigger treating, and so we

972
00:51:19,639 --> 00:51:23,119
have one of the top decorated yards in the area

973
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:27,320
per the kids websites around here, the rankings if you're

974
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:29,639
into that. If you're not ranking college football, you're ranking

975
00:51:30,159 --> 00:51:32,039
you know, who's got the best at decor for the

976
00:51:32,079 --> 00:51:34,719
holidays on the kids websites. So we do have one

977
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:36,320
of the top rated guys in our neighborhood.

978
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:39,639
Speaker 2: He's back up to our property. So it's really cool.

979
00:51:39,519 --> 00:51:41,840
Speaker 1: Just to get out and just just see the people

980
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:44,239
coming through because it kind of as an attraction on

981
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:48,000
Halloween for other people. But our neighborhoods really small, and

982
00:51:48,039 --> 00:51:50,920
there's it's kind of split fifty to fifty with empty

983
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:54,400
nesters and young, young couples with young kids, and so

984
00:51:55,199 --> 00:51:57,719
it's cool. You can kind of hit half the neighborhood

985
00:51:57,760 --> 00:51:59,679
with the other half of the neighborhood walking around with you.

986
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:03,320

987
00:52:03,639 --> 00:52:05,679
all the kids and march the way down the street.

988

So it'll be fun. It'll be fun. You know. I

989
00:52:09,159 --> 00:52:12,119
think I may be coordinating just a tad this year

00:52:12,159 --> 00:52:14,480
as well, So we'll see if I'm able to pull

991
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:18,800
it off with my daughter too and kind of kind

992
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:24,440
of sort of keep my casual, cool, comfortable look and

993
00:52:24,519 --> 00:52:26,719
also coordinate with her a little bit. We'll see what happens.
