Speaker 18 College football is officially back. We had some games last week, but now the real games start to come.
And tonight's game, Georgia Tech, go on the road. And in Folsom Field at CU, they win 27-20.

Speaker 18 Hayes King, 13 of 20, 143. He threw an interception, but it was his legs that was the difference.
19 rushes, a buck 56, three rushing touchdowns.

Speaker 18 The last one, 45 yards to put them ahead with a minute and seven seconds left in the ballgame. And they go on the road and they defeat the Buffaloes 27-20.
The first game without Shadur Sanders and

Speaker 18 the receiver. Travis Connor.
So Colorado is on a new era now. Hey,

Speaker 18 Kaylin Salt, I think that's his name. 17 to 28, 159, one touchdown.
They ran the ball really well. 31 for a buck 46, but it was Georgia Tech.
47 rushes, 327 yards. Ocho,

Speaker 18 I was disgusted watching this game. I say, what about gap integrity? What about contained?

Speaker 18 Georgia Tech has run the football since I was a kid. Even when they had Megatron, they ran the damn football.
When they had Demarius Thomas, they ran the football. Georgia Tech runs the football.

Speaker 18 It's like if you play the Naval Academy or Army, you know, they're going to run the football, Ocho.

Speaker 18 I'm like, Livingston, are you going to make any adjustment? Guys, what is your responsibility? What about your gap of integrity?

Speaker 18 What about your contained responsibility? I'm like, this is utterly ridiculous. And quarterback, Salter,

Speaker 18 bro, you missed entirely too many throws. He missed entirely too many throws, Ocho.

Speaker 18 And number 20 got a nice set of hands on him, the running back. Bro, he's wide open.
And I hate when quarterbacks do this, Ocho.

Speaker 18 When you miss a throw, you go to the running back or you go to the wide receiver. Tell me about, I want you.
No, bro, I was right there. Put it on me.
All you had to do is hit me right here.

Speaker 18 Don't talk about that's it. Don't do that.
Don't do that. You effed it up.
And he had the guy on 3010. He missed entirely too many throws, but their defense let him down tonight.

Speaker 18 You can't let somebody come into your building and run the ball 47 times for 320 yards. Hold on, let me see.

Speaker 18 Before you, let me see what.

Speaker 19 Yes, sir.

Speaker 19 Play by play.

Speaker 18 See if I want to see.

Speaker 18 No, I want to go back.

Speaker 18 Box score.

Speaker 18 Man, Ocho, this was, I'm like, but I knew, I was on the phone with my brother early in the game. I say, Spank, a team give you three turnovers at home.

Speaker 18 in the first quarter oh and you want to score seven points you telling that team beat me beat me kick our ass yeah You're supposed to have a barrel. They didn't, and they got what they deserved.

Speaker 18 Go ahead, Ocho. I'll fight it in a second.
Go ahead.

Speaker 19 I say, listen, what I was going to say is, obviously, we all want to see what

Speaker 19 Colorado would look like without Shador Sanders, without Travis Hunter. And they didn't look that bad.
First game of the season, you want to get the Kinks out.

Speaker 19 You want to see what areas you need to improve in. Obviously, we see defensively.

Speaker 19 Defensively, Colorado has to be able to stop the run because now it's out there on tape. What do we do when we play against the Colorado Buffaloes to have success?

Speaker 18 We run that was the issue last year, the OJ. Damn.

Speaker 19 That was the issue last year. Obviously, Georgia Tech showed that.

Speaker 19 That's an area that hasn't been filled. So that needs to be addressed.
Boom. For me, for me, the beginning of the game, Georgia Tech tried to hand the game to Colorado.

Speaker 19 They tried to hand the game to him. I'm saying, well, God damn.
In my mind, I'm looking, boom, after the first turnover, oh, them boys went down and scored.

Speaker 19 And then it was two more turnovers after after that. I'm like, well, all right, I don't like the way this is looking because if you got the ball back two more times.

Speaker 18 Three turnovers in the first quarter

Speaker 18 from Georgia Tech. Oh, look.

Speaker 19 In the first quarter, and you only do something with it one time.

Speaker 19 I say, you know what? It's going to come down. It's going to come down to the end.
It's going to come down to the end because offensively, they're not doing enough.

Speaker 19 They're not doing enough offensively to put me at ease.

Speaker 19 and to put you know to make me calm because for one the first turnover it was all the way in your territory so of course it was easy to to go down and score but the other two it seemed like you really couldn't move the ball you didn't um

Speaker 18 you really couldn't move the ball

Speaker 19 you you you tried you tried you tried everything you could to establish the run the the run was it was they ran for oh joe they ran i mean they they ran for 146 yards

Speaker 19 yeah but it obviously unknit wasn't no it wasn't enough you want you wanted you want a happy balance of both you know to to to kind of keep the keep the defense you know on on their heels on not knowing what's going to come are they going to run it?

Speaker 19 Are they going to throw it? But they weren't good enough in the air either.

Speaker 18 That's the quarterback, Ocho.

Speaker 18 Hey, look, I think he has tremendous arm talent. But, bro, you don't have to impress us with every throw of your arm.
You're missing routine throws.

Speaker 18 He's going to have to learn how to throw better on the move because on the move, he's not very good. And, you know, we're going to be nice, Ocho, because these are college kids.

Speaker 18 These aren't professionals. Although some are making it.
It's week one.

Speaker 19 It's week one, too. It's week one.

Speaker 18 Ocho, throw it on the move. That should be able to week one, week no one, weak anything.
You should be able to throw. Ocho, the throws that he's missing, because that's third down.

Speaker 18 You're off the field.

Speaker 18 You want to stay on the field. I want another crack.
Give me four more cracks at you.

Speaker 18 Right. And we saw him miss numerous throws.
The second time he had an opportunity, Ocho, why would it? He could have ran the ball to the end zone instead of throwing it.

Speaker 18 Yeah. Bro,

Speaker 18 we understand that you have a nice arm. I mean, we saw him launch it 60, 65 yards.
But, bro,

Speaker 18 sometimes you got to understand, okay, this is an opportunity for me.

Speaker 18 That was not the time for you to try to dazzle, try to impress us with your arm. Pick up the first down.
And another thing, Ocho, then I'm going to turn it back over to you.

Speaker 18 I don't know what Coach Primer was thinking. They got the ball back with a minute and seven seconds in the ball game.
You got two timeouts, and you don't use any.

Speaker 18 You took those same two timeouts you had to start that drive and you go into the locker room with them. So you throw one pass behind the line of scrimmage, you get tackled, you don't call timeout.

Speaker 18 You complete another pass on second down, you don't call timeout. And then the quarterback picks up a third down, but he burns eight, nine, ten seconds on the clock.
What the hell are y'all doing

Speaker 19 on the scramble?

Speaker 19 I'm not sure what was going on in that situation. Obviously, you want to use those timeouts to give yourself as much time as possible.
Continue running play to try to get down in

Speaker 19 some type of range to throw a Hail Mary pass. I'm not sure what the what the issue was there.

Speaker 19 But listen, they got some stuff they need to work on. They have some stuff they need to work on.
I'm sure Prime is glad that college football is back.

Speaker 19 We're out there playing against opponents and not just ourselves. So we can see what areas we need to get better at.
Obviously, some areas, some of the same stuff that we had issues with last year.

Speaker 19 I'm going to start with just the running game. Being able to stop the run game,

Speaker 19 having the meat and potatoes to be able to compete up there in the trenches and stop people from running down your goddamn throat.

Speaker 18 320?

Speaker 18 That's where it's. 320.

Speaker 19 Yeah, that's a lot. That's a lot too, boy.
Oh, that's, that's a whole lot.

Speaker 18 Running the football and stopping the run is about will.

Speaker 18 It's about want to. Because schematically, I can't do anything.
Ocho, they weren't doing anything.

Speaker 18 He faked the toss and then they pull a guard or they pull a double guard or tackle or they'll pull a guard and they'll pull the running back. That's all they were doing.

Speaker 18 They weren't doing anything. The past game, schematically, Ocho, I can scheme people.
When I run the football, it wasn't nothing fancy. It was nothing.
It was our guys kicked your guys's ass.

Speaker 18 That's what we did. And that's why football is, for me, mentally the toughest work because you know why, Ocho? You're asking one man to move another man against his will.

Speaker 18 Now, I know Colorado, they want to leave that patch of grass,

Speaker 18 that A gap, gap, that B gap, that C, or contain. I know they didn't want to leave it.
But Georgia Tech said, you getting your ass up out of here.

Speaker 18 You getting up out of here.

Speaker 18 Yeah.

Speaker 18 And I'm like, bro, what?

Speaker 18 Livingston, I know, A, and look, you go back and you watch the film. There's a lot.

Speaker 18 You didn't really do a whole lot good other than the fact, you know, when they got the lead, I mean, you came down, they got when got 20, you matched them. But then they go right back down the field.

Speaker 18 Right back down the field. And they ran the football, Ocho.

Speaker 18 Do you know what it takes to take the goal 75, 65, 70 yards, and I just run it? I think they threw one pass. I think they threw one pass.
Yeah.

Speaker 19 Yeah. On the ground at that.
On the ground at that. Hey, listen,

Speaker 19 you know the difference. You know the difference and what matters when it comes to wins and losses.
What you got up there in your front. What you got up there in the trenches.

Speaker 19 You ain't got to, you ain't, listen. If you ain't got enough meat and potatoes up there in

Speaker 19 your front yard, and you got them boys ain't got enough rocks in their back pocket,

Speaker 19 you're going to get moved around. You're going to get pushed around.
You know, you understand that. And that's what you saw tonight.
Week one.

Speaker 19 The same issues you had last year.

Speaker 19 And it's only one way to fix it. You got to get them big hogs up there.
You got to. That's the only way to stop it.
And then if you don't have the size, you got to have people that want it.

Speaker 19 People that got this,

Speaker 19 that want to come downhill.

Speaker 19 Well, you know what? You want to move me against my will, but let me show you. I'm not one of those that you just gonna,

Speaker 19 hey, I ain't going nowhere. I ain't going.
I'm coming to the party. It don't matter what time I get there, but I'm going to be there.

Speaker 18 Corners.

Speaker 18 Ocho, whatever happened to,

Speaker 18 I'm not going to let my outside arm get pinned.

Speaker 18 You never give up that leverage. Where's the hell leverage? Where's contained? Don't know.

Speaker 18 I mean, I'm sure it's hard for me to believe with the personnel that time has on that staff, they don't teach leverage. They don't teach contain.
They don't teach gap responsibility, gap integrity.

Speaker 18 I refuse to believe that. And constantly, I see DBs giving up the outside arm and the guy running down the sideline.
Constantly, I see defensive linemen. I'm like, bro, that is your gap.

Speaker 18 How you letting that man get you up out of there? That is your gap.

Speaker 19 And the funny thing about it is coaches can coach it and repeat it over and over and over and over as many times they want but when the bullets is flying on you have one responsibility to take what you're taught and execute the x's and o's

Speaker 19 that all comes down to want to

Speaker 19 that all comes down to want to at the end of the day oh joe

Speaker 18 the here's here's the thing when you walking through something It's easy.

Speaker 18 But if you want to find out what a man can do, put him to the test.

Speaker 18 The test is when the

Speaker 18 hut, when that ball moves. That's the test.
See,

Speaker 18 I know what you're doing when you're walking through.

Speaker 18 I know what you're doing. But if you want to know what a man can really do, put him to the test.
Put his ass under the gun. And let's see what he does.

Speaker 18 Because I've seen so many guys, and you have too, in practice,

Speaker 18 they look like Odell Becker catching the ball. They running the ball.

Speaker 18 I'm like, well, damn, look at how you break on the ball. Deion Sanders.

Speaker 18 And then get in the game, and he's playing like Colonel Sanders. I'm like, oh, no, hell no.

Speaker 18 Bab please.

Speaker 18 So,

Speaker 18 Chad, I'm sorry. Chad, I'm on one tonight.

Speaker 18 If you guys can tell,

Speaker 18 that Colorado game, they got me pissed off. I don't know.
I'm to the highest.

Speaker 18 I'm pissed.

Speaker 18 Is that a word?

Speaker 19 Yeah.

Speaker 19 Who they playing like, Colonel Who?

Speaker 18 Yeah. I mean, in practice, they looking like Deion Sanders breaking on the ball.
Now they get in the game. They're looking like Colonel Sanders.
Fried chicken.

Speaker 18 Man, that's the new guy. And I'm looking, and I understand.
Oh, yo, I understand.

Speaker 18 Some of these guys, I mean, I mean, starting for the first time, the bright lights. Yeah.

Speaker 18 But that's, but

Speaker 18 that's what

Speaker 18 makes us who we are. To being able to perform

Speaker 18 under duress, under adversity

Speaker 18 and and not forget that i can't get my outside arm pin i got to i got to

Speaker 18 i got to hold contain i got to maintain my leverage i've got to i got to have sound gap responsibility

Speaker 18 and you can't throw that out the window because now all of a sudden they firing off the ball that's the thing you got to be able to hold that and ched i'm not look

Speaker 18 maybe

Speaker 18 i'm using turn but you watched the game you saw what i saw

Speaker 18 hell my old ass could have ran through some of them holes now i wouldn't have got no 45 yards but i'd have got a first down

Speaker 18 damn

Speaker 21 what a batch of we got y'all this is that classic hbcu vibe non-stop action the band is rocking and the crowd lick chance echoing drumbeat everybody showing that school pride game like this yeah, it calls for an ice-cold Coca-Cola.

Speaker 18 it's they've got cut look it's the first game ojo and for me i've always felt that i wanted at home especially the first game ojo

Speaker 19 i gotta i gotta win that i gotta hold serve at home gotta win that got to and listen listen, they had plenty of opportunity.

Speaker 19 They had opportunity. When they got

Speaker 19 that second and that third turnover and

Speaker 19 didn't do anything with the ball, I said it's gonna be a long fight.

Speaker 18 I told Spake, I said, Colorado.

Speaker 19 That should have set the tone for the game right here. Should have put them down.

Speaker 18 At worst case scenario, you'll put him down 13-0, 17-0.

Speaker 18 At worst case, but with three turnovers and that team's on the road, you're in your home. It can't be 7-0 going into the second quarter.
It cannot be. It cannot be.

Speaker 19 And

Speaker 19 it puts all the pressure back on Georgia Tech.

Speaker 18 Go ahead. Go ahead, Ocho.

Speaker 19 No, I was going to say it puts all the pressure back on Georgia Tech where you won't have that comfortability of being able to run the ball.

Speaker 19 All

Speaker 19 second half lost.

Speaker 18 Because guess what, Ocho? I still got to, I still, hey, you didn't take me out. You didn't take me out of what I want to do because it's only 7-0.

Speaker 18 Now, maybe if it's 17-0, maybe if it's 21-0, nothing, I force you to throw the chain of game. Thank you, but now I gotta change even with these turnovers.

Speaker 18 You allow me to still stay in my comfort zone.

Speaker 19 Yes, sir.

Speaker 18 Yes, sir. Hey,

Speaker 18 I don't know how to do it, Ocho, but most of the time, if somebody, if you don't make somebody get up out of the, if you got, if you rent an apartment, if you use somebody landlord and they go and they go a month or two and they ain't paid you your money, there's a good chance they're not gonna pay you every week three, a month four, month five, month six.

Speaker 18 So so they squatting they squatting basically i've got them okay guess what you come home you're locked it padlock

Speaker 18 or the locks changed

Speaker 18 uh-huh and then i don't know why i i don't know what happened i know what happened you 13 000 you're 15 000 in arrears on rent

Speaker 18 and i've got responsibility i got i got banks that want their mortgage on this on this building. And you talk about,

Speaker 18 man, that bank don't want to hear nothing about you lost your job.

Speaker 18 Right. Because I can't, you know what? I'm going to bring your money next month because, you know, a couple of my tenants lost their job.
They're not trying to hear that, Ocho.

Speaker 18 So in this situation right here, all Colorado did was yell across the field, hey, appreciate them three turnovers. Now kick our ass.

Speaker 18 Yep. Yeah, that's it.
Three turnovers in the first one, Ocho.

Speaker 19 Yeah, you got to do something with that.

Speaker 18 Take advantage of it.

Speaker 19 After the second one, I say, okay, if they get another one

Speaker 18 we gotta we gotta we gotta we gotta find a way to get the game out of their hands you gotta make it a little easy on the back end but once they after that second one and they went damn damn near damn near three and out they did damn near might might might as well have been i say you know it's gonna be a long no i knew i knew they wouldn't win this game once they got them three turnovers in the first quarter and they only came away with seven points and you allow georgia tech to stay within the scheme of what they want to do The first thing I want to do, if you are a running team, I want to get you out of that.

Speaker 18 I don't want you to be able to run the football. I want to, what is what do you do? What is the second best thing that you do? I want you to play to that.

Speaker 18 I don't want you to play to your strength, Ojo. I want you to play to your weakness.
And if you beat me with your weakness, Ojo, I come to the center of the field. Congratulations.
Good job.

Speaker 18 Hey, stay healthy. I'll see you down the road, coach.
But I'm not going to let you beat me when I know that's what you want to do.

Speaker 18 Right. But like I said,

Speaker 18 the D coordinator, I understand y'all put a lot of time in because you know what Georgia Tech does. Georgia Tech wants to run the football.

Speaker 18 But your gap integrity, your leverage, your contain was piss poor. And that'll cause you to lose a lot of games.
That'll cause you to lose a lot of games.

Speaker 18 We had this conversation last year when they played Kansas. We've had these conversations over the years when we're discussing Colorado about being able to stop the run.

Speaker 18 Now, one thing I will say, Ocho, they look better in pass protection.

Speaker 18 That left tackle is going to go play at the next level. That left tackle, number 77, he's going to go play at the next level.

Speaker 18 He's going to go play. He's going to be playing on Sundays.
But they got to do a better job. I don't care how good you are offensively.
If you cannot stop the run,

Speaker 18 because they're just possessing, I mean, think about it. They still have five more minutes of possession with three turnovers.

Speaker 18 And a lot of turnovers are like two plays. One play turnover.
Three plays turnover.

Speaker 19 You're giving the ball back too fast. You're not doing nothing with it.

Speaker 19 You're not doing nothing with it.

Speaker 18 Man, I jumped, man. I was,

Speaker 18 man, I was so frustrated because I'm like, bro.

Speaker 19 Hold on. You think you're frustrated tonight?

Speaker 19 Wait till you see tomorrow's game. You might be frustrated again.

Speaker 18 Who? Who played tomorrow?

Speaker 19 Oh, Plempson. Well, Texas and Ohio State.
What do you mean?

Speaker 18 Who played tomorrow?

Speaker 18 I think the thing is, Ocho, when games, if you know somebody, I'm going to be watching because I like Sark. I know Sark.
He and I, we communicate. So, yes,

Speaker 18 I'm going to be pulling for Sark. I'm sorry, chat.
Yeah, I'm going to be pulling for Sark because I like him.

Speaker 18 But you know, when you know time, you kind of vest it. You know, you and I both have gone to see you, watch them play.

Speaker 18 It's a great atmosphere. And this was a winnable game for Colorado.
But they did everything they possibly could to help Georgia Tech steal it from them. But Georgia Tech didn't steal it.

Speaker 18 They went on the road. They outplayed him.
And Coach says, look, we got, we give their defense credit because the defense bowls their back because they got the three.

Speaker 18 They only gave up seven points on those three turnovers. So that could have, they could have gotten, they could have gotten out of hand.
Colorado took care of the football.

Speaker 18 They didn't turn it over not one time. They had less penalties.
But when you when you let a team go run for 320,

Speaker 18 320.

Speaker 18 I mean, first of all, 200 yards a lot. Would you start letting teams get 300, 400 yards running on you?

Speaker 18 Man, please.

Speaker 18 Please. Yeah.
But

Speaker 18 I'm sure Coach Prime, I don't know how they do it in college, Ocho. I mean,

Speaker 18 we played Saturday. We was off Sunday, unless we played like horse and coach would make us put our uniforms on and go practice.
Go practice.

Speaker 18 I was thinking about that, Ocho. Ocho, do you know?

Speaker 18 I mean, think about it, Ocho, if you played a game on Monday, I mean Sunday, and Coach, and you was in Cincinnati. They said, Ocho, put put your pads on.
We're going to practice on a Monday.

Speaker 18 I don't know about that.

Speaker 19 Hey, listen, hey, Gray, uh, grown folk. Now, grown folk, that ain't going to work.
We are not putting no pads on after playing a three-hour game on a Sunday. That's not happening.

Speaker 19 I'm not sure who the team captains would be, but I can guarantee you they will not be in no pads after game day. Uncle, you already know how we're feeling after

Speaker 18 game day. I absolutely know.

Speaker 19 Hold on, you know how long it takes to get out of bed after a game? I do, man.

Speaker 19 put on some pads. Pads who? Shoot.

Speaker 18 Now.

Speaker 18 Ain't happening. But they'll probably have tomorrow off.
Come in Monday, watch the tape, and get ready because it's a fast turnaround, Ocho.

Speaker 18 You can't let this linger. That stench is there.

Speaker 18 It's just something about Luke. Look, it's been damn near 40 years since I was in college, Ocho.
But there's something about, and I was never a big guy that went out after the game.

Speaker 18 But I can assure you, if we lost, you were going to see Shannon Shawface on campus oh hell no you bet first of all you barely saw me after win barely i'm talking about maybe i think i went to maybe one party in four years of college right i know no no if we lose

Speaker 18 yeah

Speaker 18 i i'm like i'm i'm looking at the guys filing out man they they they hurrying back oh cho the show especially if we home right they they they hurry up the shower and go to the party

Speaker 18 I'm like, you sorry, Mofos? Y'all want people to see y'all? Y'all just lost.

Speaker 19 But but I tell you what, though, this is how I look at it. And I'm going to be honest.
You have to think, my time during my tenure in Cincinnati,

Speaker 19 we had what, maybe one, maybe two winning seasons. My entire

Speaker 19 when I was there. So I had no choice but to handle my business week in and week out, whether we're winning or losing, because I'm stepping outside.

Speaker 19 I'm stepping outside. And I can tell you, I know exactly where I was at because I had friends of mine that I met, Maine, Rico, Los,

Speaker 19 all them boys down there in Cincinnati as a group of five.

Speaker 19 We've been friends since 2001. I have no other outside friends outside of those I met on the first day I got lost in Cincinnati.
First day, still friends to this day.

Speaker 19 Dude, we go to Annie's after every game.

Speaker 19 We play at one o'clock. The game in at three.
We at Jail Examiners at six o'clock. And then when 10 or whatever it calls roll around, oh, I'm going out.

Speaker 19 I'm going out because I'm trying to enjoy myself, get some of the soreness out, walk around, you know, have a little fun, talk to some of the fans, you know, the dudes out, you know, out in the hood that be out off a short vine and

Speaker 19 wherever they from, you know, just talk football. I like that.

Speaker 19 I was more of a people person, you know, during that time and love to talk to gamers,

Speaker 19 whether we were losing or winning. And I would always show my face, whether we were losing or winning.

Speaker 18 I mean,

Speaker 18 I mean, one of the worst times I had, Ocho,

Speaker 18 I was in Baltimore and we had made, I had already made reservations at Ruth Chris. I had brought everybody in and we lost the game.

Speaker 18 If I didn't have my mom and my sister and all them kids, I'd cancel that.

Speaker 18 I would get takeout. I would get takeout.
We lost the game.

Speaker 18 Hey, Sean, we going about such and such. No, I'm going on home.

Speaker 18 I'm going home.

Speaker 18 I'm a sore loser. I'm a worse winner.
But

Speaker 18 I don't want to be around nobody. I know how I am.
I'm moody. I'm irritable.
Because guess what? That's why y'all lost. Y'all out here party.
You need to be home in your playbook.

Speaker 18 You need to be studying your play. You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 18 I ain't trying to hear that.

Speaker 18 So

Speaker 18 we take my black ass home, sulk, moat, and think about, man, what could I have done differently?

Speaker 18 Right.

Speaker 2 Hey.

Speaker 19 Hey, oh,

Speaker 19 I was hanging with us.

Speaker 19 I was hanging with us. We have a game.

Speaker 19 We have a game.

Speaker 19 Obviously, we played one o'clock.

Speaker 19 I swear before God, you would think I wasn't even a football player, but one, not just a football player, but a star football player at that.

Speaker 19 Because if you want to catch me at the football game before me and the fellas go eat dinner, you can just catch me on short vine.

Speaker 19 You can catch me down the way. I go see my little young bulls that enjoy the game of football.
I sit there with them, talk about the game for a little bit, you know, chit-chat.

Speaker 19 We on the corner, Uncle. We on the corner in Cincinnati, just chilling.

Speaker 18 Ain't nothing. I'm going home.

Speaker 19 Talking football for about an hour or two. I sit there with them, smoke a cigar after the game.
Boom, I go down to Jay Alexander's. My routine was the exact same for a decade straight.

Speaker 19 It never changed.

Speaker 18 Well, I don't know if they still in existence, but I would go, I would call, I would get black eyed peas with the name of the restaurant. I would get the grilled chicken or the country-friend steak.

Speaker 18 I would get colonel, I would get rice, I would get colonel corn, and I would get black eyed peas.

Speaker 18 Get something, I'd get a combination of like

Speaker 18 lemon, lemon tea, lemon, raspberry tea or something, and I'm going home. Yeah, that's it.
I'm going home. I want to, I, I want to be, I want to be miserable by myself.
I don't want to see nobody.

Speaker 18 I don't want to talk about it. I don't want nobody to tell me you played a good game because I played like dog.
I don't care if I have 150, right? I played terrible.

Speaker 18 I didn't play good enough to win, and I don't, I don't want nobody to try to pat me on the back. You guys are gonna get no, not.

Speaker 18 No,

Speaker 18 I don't know what's gonna happen after this. I'm talking about this game.
So,

Speaker 18 I know how I am.

Speaker 18 I've always been like this. Uh, we lost the game in high school.
Hey, y'all, we got, man, i'm going home coach take me home

Speaker 18 if we win your boy hey your boy hey i'm gonna walk the streets with y'all right but if we lose right right

Speaker 19 yeah you you you ain't finna see me can you say you're taking it

Speaker 18 no because i know because oh y'all i've always been one of these guys that worked so hard for it i i know what i put in and the more you put into something the more it hurt when it doesn't work out in your favor

Speaker 19 You see, I like what you just said. You know what you put in.

Speaker 19 I understand what I put in. I understand the work I put in to make sure I, it's a team game, right? It's a team game

Speaker 19 when it comes time to get paid, you get paid individually.

Speaker 18 You do. You definitely do.

Speaker 19 So I made sure I did my part. I made sure I did my part.
If things don't now, if the other 10 don't do what they supposed to do, that ain't your fault.

Speaker 18 Now,

Speaker 19 I'm not finna punish myself. Why am I punishing myself? Why am I not going nowhere? Because y'all start.

Speaker 19 I'm going to get out here. I'm gonna go get my Jay Alexander's.
I'm gonna talk to my homeboys, you know, and I'm gonna go out. I'm gonna go to Annie's, and I'm gonna enjoy myself.

Speaker 19 Now, I don't drink no alcohol, but you know, I got my fellas with me. I got my fellas with me.
I'm gonna make sure they have a good time.

Speaker 18 Man.

Speaker 18 Oh, a transformer just

Speaker 18 hit Joe's house, and so he ain't got no power.

Speaker 18 Joe got buzzed up. Look, he needs to move.

Speaker 19 Hey,

Speaker 19 hey, Joe, hey, Joe over there on a hundred million dollar property.

Speaker 19 A hundred million dollar property,

Speaker 19 273,000 square feet and ain't got no power. With a goddamn generator, Joe.
Joe, with a generator, I know you got a generator out there, Joe.

Speaker 18 Everybody should have one in Atlanta because them pop-up storms are going to pop up and knock it out. Gonna knock your power out.

Speaker 19 Hold on. Can Joe see us right now? Hey, Joe, can you see us? He got a bunch of people.
He goes,

Speaker 18 Joe.

Speaker 19 Nah, he got a cell phone.

Speaker 19 You don't got... Oh, come on now.

Speaker 19 You don't, you don't, you need LTE or a G G5, what you call it, what you call the provider?

Speaker 18 A 5G.

Speaker 19 Yeah, I don't require nothing. Your phone should work.
Joe, FaceTime me, Joe, if you can see it.

Speaker 18 FaceTime you?

Speaker 19 Yes, you can.

Speaker 19 But the internet in the house has nothing to do with your cell phone working.

Speaker 18 Man, look here. Okay.

Speaker 19 Hey, he can FaceTime. I can just hold the phone up.
He can see if he's part of the show.

Speaker 18 Coach Prime, who was recently diagnosed with bladder cancer and needs frequently use of the restroom, no longer has to travel far.

Speaker 18 He has a portable toilet next to Colorado's bench to accommodate him following bladder reconstruction surgery and is sponsored.

Speaker 18 Time by this by.

Speaker 19 Hey,

Speaker 19 that depends.

Speaker 19 I know they're paying well.

Speaker 18 Oh, yeah, for sure.

Speaker 18 Because a lot of people are embarrassed by that, OJo.

Speaker 19 Who?

Speaker 19 I wish I would. Why? You know how many zeros probably?

Speaker 18 Yeah, but I'm coming behind that right now.

Speaker 18 A lot of people don't want people to know that they have to wear an adult undergarment. You know what I'm saying? Like that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.

Speaker 19 Listen, you got to understand who Prime is. You got to understand who Prime is.

Speaker 19 He's one that could wear any and everything on his shoulders. Don't give a damn.
with none of y'all on the outside thing.

Speaker 18 People wear them, but they don't want to advertise it. But like you said,

Speaker 18 you know what I'm saying? Hey, they're, yeah, hold on, they make them for a reason. Anytime they make something, somebody is purchasing it.

Speaker 18 So, it's a lot of, you know, sometimes women, after they have kids, it takes a while for them for those muscles to get back strong again.

Speaker 18 Sometimes, men, they have bladder cancer, they have prostate, they have issues. It's, it's, it's hard.
And some, you know, hey, uh, my grandmother, my grandmother wouldn't wear them.

Speaker 18 She said, Libby, I want my dignity. So, my grandmother wouldn't work.
My grandmother wouldn't wear them. And, you know, she obviously, she passed, I think Rainy was 88.

Speaker 18 In May, she was 88. So she passed in July.
Yeah. So,

Speaker 19 I tell you what, depends. If you see this, come on, holler at your boy.

Speaker 18 Ain't nothing wrong with you.

Speaker 18 Hey, but sometimes I do be thinking about getting me a goose. Man, I'd be tired of walking to the bathroom, man.
I just need to get me a goose and go right inside the bed. Hey.

Speaker 19 Hey,

Speaker 19 give me something where I can just roll over to the right or roll over to the left.

Speaker 18 That's what, hey, you okay, you good? Man, you know I'm good. Oh, you should have told me that.
You should have said, nah.

Speaker 18 Should have told me that.

Speaker 18 But I got to get you.

Speaker 18 Florida State pulls the upset, unranked Florida State, takes down the number 18 in the country.

Speaker 18 Put pressure on Ty Simpson

Speaker 18 pretty much all day. He was pressured on 16 of 51 drop backs, one of 10 for 30 yards with three sacks when pressured.

Speaker 18 Simpson was not on the same page as Ryan Williams, who left the game late with a concussion. Simpson was was just 5 of 11 when targeting him, 0-3 on passes thrown more than five yards down the field.

Speaker 18 Kaylin,

Speaker 18 I was thinking to myself, Johnny, and Ocho, I was like, man, look here, I understand

Speaker 18 there's not a college coach that's going to be Coach Sabin, but you can't, you can't, he's lost to four unranked teams in 14 games.

Speaker 18 Coach Sabin was there damn near two decades, and he might have lost four unranked teams in his whole tenure. And I was like, man, they might get rid of Kalen DeBoer.
But I looked at that buyout.

Speaker 18 He has a $70 million

Speaker 18 buyout.

Speaker 18 They ain't got them deep pockets like y'all got Johnny down in Texas AM where y'all got a Jimbo up out of there for 77 million. They ain't got pockets like that.
So, so Ocho, let me ask you this.

Speaker 18 You watched Alabama. Oh, yeah.
Coach Sabin's not walking through that door anytime soon.

Speaker 18 Okay. Coach Saban's not walking through that door.
ever. Yeah.

Speaker 18 When you look at Alabama, they don't even look the same.

Speaker 19 They don't have the same swagger they don't even take the feel the same well unc you got to understand of course they don't look the same this is this is what we're seeing now when saving was there this was pre-nil huh this was pre-nil nil came along and even the scoreboard all the way across so all the talent and the players that used to go to alabama where everybody would go and have to wait in line they got receiver after receiver after receiver quarterback after quarterback after quarterback running back after running back after running back everybody going all over the place because teams have money and players don't want to sit and wait behind anybody else they want to play right now

Speaker 19 money talks what is which is one of the reasons why nick saving left because the even the the playing field has even where the level of talent is scattered across everywhere where now most of the part coaching comes into play and coaching is that much more important is that much more important now because

Speaker 19 florida state today

Speaker 19 I'm not going to say they embarrass Alabama. They embarrass Alabama, but

Speaker 19 I guarantee you a lot of people, a lot of people, especially if you gamble, I guarantee you you had Alabama to win.

Speaker 19 I guarantee you had Alabama to win.

Speaker 18 Johnny, what you think? Uh, what didn't you like about what you saw from Alabama and what did you love about what you saw from the Seminoles?

Speaker 20 I mean, I think Castellanos for Florida State jumped off the page in every aspect of everything. You know, you look at what they did.
He only threw the ball nine times.

Speaker 20 That's super effective to be able to go put 31 points up and you only throw the ball. You're only nine of 14 for 152.
That's efficient. The one thing that I will say that I think

Speaker 20 in the past, you walk in face an Alabama team, you probably got a little fear. This is Bama, the team that's been a dynasty.
The team, you got a little fear.

Speaker 20 That fear aspect of what Alabama is is completely gone. And nobody's scared of them boys, not Vandi, not Kentucky, not nobody.

Speaker 20 Nobody's walking in and seeing Alabama on the schedule and having any kind of shake, any kind of fear, nothing. They've been getting wiped the last couple of years.

Speaker 20 You say that buyout's deep, but like, they're not going to sit here and let this stand for sure. They'll go find it in the woods somewhere.

Speaker 18 They absolutely will because I was thinking the same thing when they said about Jimbo, because prior to Jimbo, the biggest college buyout was Gus Mozan when he got 21 million to leave Auburn.

Speaker 18 And basically you tripled, damn near quadrupled that with this buyout for Jimbo. But you're absolutely right.

Speaker 18 When you're Alabama and you've had to expect and you've done what you've done, six national championships, you lost another two times in the championship game.

Speaker 18 You're damn near, they called it the Alabama Invitational because Alabama was in it every year and people had them with a chance to win it every year. You can't count Alabama out.

Speaker 18 You can't count Alabama out. But like you said, Johnny, nobody fears Alabama anymore.
And when you don't, when half, that's half the battle is fear.

Speaker 18 That's one of your biggest strengths is another man's fear. Well, Well, they don't have that anymore.
And I'm looking at Alabama, Ojo. They ain't got the same level of talent.
You're absolutely right.

Speaker 18 When you look at the running backs, it was Mark Ingram and Trit Richardson and this one and that one. And you look at Derrick Henry and Jameer Gibbs and this one and that one.

Speaker 18 You go look at the wide receivers. You went to Julio and Ridley and Cooper and this one and that one and Judy and

Speaker 18 you look at the quarterbacks. You look at those big D linemen they used to have.
You look at the DBs. They don't have that no more.
They just have guys now. Ain't nobody just.

Speaker 18 When have you watched the game, Johnny, and you played against them?

Speaker 18 When can you honestly say you watched an Alabama team and ain't nobody jump off the page at you?

Speaker 18 Ain't nobody like, damn. Ain't nobody gonna find that.

Speaker 20 Not since the Georgia game, not since the Georgia game last year, where Ryan Williams did his thing and absolutely went crazy.

Speaker 20 You've seen one player stand out where you're like, okay, this guy is a level of talent of Alabama that we're accustomed to seeing.

Speaker 20 Everything else, you may see a splash or a dash here or there, but you're not seeing it consistently week in and week out like you're accustomed to.

Speaker 19 And the funny thing, too, Uncle, is I said something about for me, obviously being a receiver and thinking about college football and thinking about all the players that have been promoted and advertised as opposed to be, you know, them boys.

Speaker 19 And me saying, like, nobody popped out to me on films day and people and people in the chat saying it's only week one. Yeah, week one.

Speaker 19 Yes, it's week one. That's the whole point.

Speaker 19 You allowed to pop out you say just because it's week one that don't mean you can't flash that doesn't mean you can't show yes what i'm saying what do we talk about it's only week one yes that's when you actually pop out and and you show off when you're playing against the top talent you're playing against the good teams these are the games you're supposed to pop out because you're trying when you get to the next level every week it's the same thing Every week you play in NFL, it's them boys.

Speaker 19 You playing against them boys. So I'm expecting, I was expecting, I was expecting maybe, maybe coaches wanted to call conservative games.
Maybe they want to feature the players that we've all been

Speaker 19 noticing on commercials and seeing over and over and over. So maybe

Speaker 19 next week,

Speaker 19 maybe the week after. I don't know.
At some point, the games of the day

Speaker 19 were okay. The Alabama, Alabama and Florida State game to me was probably the best and the most exciting.
with the Clemson, the Clemson game following after that.

Speaker 19 But there's one more game we haven't talked about yet. That was the absolute snooze fest.
I'll wait till we get there.

Speaker 18 When I look, think about Alabama. The one thing Alabama could do was stop the run.
You know, Coach Saban, Johnny, you had to throw.

Speaker 18 The thing that gave Coach Sabin problem has always given Coach Sabin problems, the dual threat quarterback and the guy that could pass the football.

Speaker 18 You go back and look when they lost to Oklahoma, Trevor Knight, I think that was his name. You look at what he did to them in the Sugar Bowl.
He stood back there and he threw the ball.

Speaker 18 Now, the thing that gave him the most problem is a dual threat quarterback, a guy that could could throw the ball and run.

Speaker 18 You look at Johnny Manzale. You look at Deshaun Watson.
You look at guys that Cam Newton. You look, damn, it just so happens.
You're talking about two guys won the Heisman Trophy.

Speaker 18 One guy was one of the better quarterbacks in the NFL before the injuries and things off the field took place. You see, but they got ran on 49 times for 230.
Coach, you don't run on Bama.

Speaker 18 Bama don't let you run.

Speaker 18 They stop your run, and then they go hunt your quarterback. They can't really hunt the quarterback.
They really can't consistently stop the run.

Speaker 18 And Costelianos was doing whatever he wanted to do. Like you said, John, extremely efficient in the passing game.
Only threw the ball 14 times.

Speaker 18 But when you can't, and you know Gus Mozan, you know what he wants to do. He wants to run the football.
He wants to give you a lot of misdirection. He's going to run jet sweep.

Speaker 18 He's going to run his quarterback. That's what he does.

Speaker 19 Hey, hey, Florida State almost lost, not almost lost that game, but almost letting them boys back in the game, too.

Speaker 19 After the second half, that second half and third quarter, everything started being conservative. Everything started to be conservative.
The three and outs,

Speaker 19 giving Alabama the ball back, allowing them to have a chance to get back into the game.

Speaker 19 Now, if it was the old Alabama or a team that was a little bit more competent and efficient with the ball, hell, Alabama could have come back and won that game with as conservative as

Speaker 19 Florida State played in that second half.

Speaker 18 Well, old Alabama wouldn't have been behind like that.

Speaker 19 That too.

Speaker 18 Go ahead, Johnny.

Speaker 20 No, I think you look at what Alabama wants to do in the past. They would always say, listen, we're going to go man on man.

Speaker 20 We're going to take our best versus your best, and we're going to lock you down. Times, like we've said in the past, where they've had success against in Alabama has been when

Speaker 20 they're running man coverage, running down the field, and the quarterback's able to escape the contain and be able to get out. But this is a team that just doesn't even resemble that.

Speaker 20 Like, we're going to put our best corner against your best receiver and body him and throw him out of bounds and bully him up or you know we're going to take our best edge rusher and just absolutely mop you all day long you don't you're not used to seeing an alabama team get pushed around especially in the trenches no and gotta be concerned

Speaker 18 yeah and plus they can't run the ball like they're used to you know alabama get them hogs up and i'm looking at the offensive line they go 6'7 340 6'7 320 6'6.

Speaker 18 i'm like bro y'all big for no reason why the hell you that big if you can't block if you ain't moving no oh joe you got to move furniture you that big yeah yeah

Speaker 18 i said y'all that big and can't block the sun out your eyes i said well damn it ain't no paying no sense to be ain't no sense of being that big if if you ain't gonna move something

Speaker 18 yeah i'm like well damn i mean 29 rushes for 87 yards oh joe 27 rushes

Speaker 18 89 yards yeah three yards of carry Yeah, Florida State look good.

Speaker 19 I'm talking about all three levels, up front, second level, and the secondary.

Speaker 19 I really want to know, Chad, I don't know if you guys know, if you remember Earl Little that played for the Cleveland Browns. Is that his son, Little Jr.?

Speaker 19 Hey, he was all.

Speaker 18 You're talking about the DB Earl Little, right?

Speaker 19 Yes, Earl Little went to North Miami down here in Miami.

Speaker 18 I think that is his son.

Speaker 19 You think so? Man, he would ball that boy.

Speaker 18 Nick Sabin coached 230 games at Alabama. He had four losses to unranked teams during his stretch.
Kalen DeBoer has coached 14 games, and he just lost his fourth game to an unranked team.

Speaker 18 Since 2007, in games in which Alabama was favored by at least 14 points, Coach Sabin is 131 and 2. Kalen DeBoer is 4-4.

Speaker 18 They get you up out of there.

Speaker 18 You don't want to be the man. You don't want to be the man to follow the man.
You want to be the man that followed the man that followed the man.

Speaker 18 So I want to be the guy that came after the guy that followed Coach Sabin. I don't want that pressure.
You don't want to follow Coach Bryant. You don't want to follow Nick Saban.

Speaker 18 You don't want to follow one of those Barrett Schwitzers or those air procedures, one of those mythical coaches. You want to be the guy that followed the guy that followed him.

Speaker 18 Because now that's what I'm going up again, because I've got some separation between me and Coach Saban. I've got separation between me and one of these historic great coaches.

Speaker 18 The question that I have for you, Johnny, is that do you believe the NIL would be the death of the SEC?

Speaker 20 No, I don't think so. I think the South will only, the SEC and that conference will only find a way to

Speaker 20 work around it and do what they need to do. There's too much money there.
There's too much in these collectives to be able to make it

Speaker 20 to make it successful. I think we'll see some more, I think we'll see different programs, different teams.

Speaker 20 Same Georgia, Alabama, LA, the same couple little pockets of teams that have been winning from the SEC. So I think it'll give some disparity in that regard.

Speaker 20 But, you know, for the most part, I think the SEC is aligned for whatever moves forward in the college football NIO landscape, whether it's getting to bigger conferences where we only have three big conferences throughout the country or four or whatever it may be.

Speaker 20 I think the SEC can keep accumulating teams, more teams, and end up being, you know, the biggest conference, 16, 20 teams. You know, when it's all said and done, this stuff kind of plays itself out.

Speaker 18 Oh, Joe, what you thinking? Because you look at Underwood, and we might, I think we might touch on him. Yeah, uh, you get Larry Ellison, one of the top three richest men in the world.

Speaker 18 He underwrites it. You get Dave Poitnor from Barstool.
You get a Tom Brady, says, Hey, I'll personally help you out and mentor you and coach you.

Speaker 18 And you give a kid, an 18-year-old, 12 and a half million dollars. Say, come on down here.
This is what we got for you.

Speaker 18 It's it's it's hard when you got these deep pocket donors. You get a

Speaker 18 team like an Oregon and you got Nike and you got those that feel night dollars and you get all those uniforms and you so now it ain't no no dodge charges it ain't no challengers these guys got ferraris johnny these guys got lambos these drives these guys driving cullinans and mclarens yeah 18 19 year olds yeah

Speaker 19 yeah listen hey the landscape has changed the landscape

Speaker 19 the landscape has changed and it's like i said i said it's it even the playing field and i think it's good i think it's good for the players i think it's it's good for the player because not only are you able to obviously get money for for playing a sport you love you're able to help your family out

Speaker 19 you're able to help your family early now long as you can stay focused and understanding that you got this money as just a jumpstart for you for your bigger dream for your biggest of making it to that next level where the real money is as long you can lock in stay focused and do what you need to do i think i like it because like johnny said it adds some disparity obviously to college football in general and even the playing field where everybody gets the talent instead of one or two or three or just three teams getting everybody

Speaker 18 you're right because it sure it sure seems that way now um

Speaker 18 it does look like i mean now look alabama still get five star recruits but they don't look like the five stars they normally get. It's seemingly Ohio State are getting those guys now.

Speaker 18 And they're like you said, I mean, if there's 25, 35 star, Alabama's getting one or two where they normally have two running backs, two wide receivers, three D linemen, two O linemen, a corner,

Speaker 18 the number one, the number two or three dual threat.

Speaker 18 They don't, those guys don't look like the same caliber player that they normally once have had.

Speaker 18 And I think you guys are right.

Speaker 19 And you know, I have one question too. Go ahead.
Johnny, y'all could probably help me out. When it comes to these stars

Speaker 19 and whoever is rating them.

Speaker 18 Yes.

Speaker 19 From the people that are supposed to be these four and five stars, when when the lights were bright tonight, when the lights were bright today, in general,

Speaker 19 the stars didn't come out.

Speaker 19 The stars didn't come out

Speaker 19 at all.

Speaker 18 And that's the thing, what you alluded to. You say when people, you tweeted what you tweeted and people say, well, Shanna, they said, oh, Joe, well, it's just the first game.
It doesn't matter.

Speaker 18 If you are who you say you are, first game, second game, third game, first quarter, second quarter, third quarter. It does not matter.

Speaker 19 I'm going to chomp it in the pit.

Speaker 20 You're like a pit bull on a leash when this first game comes up. You're

Speaker 18 going to get let off the leash. Thank you.

Speaker 20 You know, you've got bang bang plays going across the middle and you can't touch each other and you're running by and you're barking. This is what you're doing all training camp.

Speaker 20 You're blowing stuff up.

Speaker 18 You have the sack whistler blown that you'd be like, boy, if that was in a game, we'd have tore your ass up.

Speaker 19 Like that's what you're doing all spring and all training camp.

Speaker 20 So now you're off the leash this is a time to run free first time on a field maybe in front of the lights yeah it can hit you a little weird a couple spots but when it comes down to it a dog is a dog and it's time to be off the leash

Speaker 18 oh

Speaker 18 all right let's get into it right now the game that just went off lsu the number tigers number nine number time number nine excuse me lsu tigers go on the road into

Speaker 18 first time in a long time you've had two death valleys that's what clemson called their home death Death Valley. That's what LSU calls their home, Death Valley.

Speaker 18 So one Death Valley went into the other Death Valley. So number nine, LSU go on the road, take down the number four Clemson Tigers by the score of 17 to 10.

Speaker 18 Nussmeyer, Garrett Nussmeyer, played extremely well, John. I thought he played really well in the second half.
He calmed down.

Speaker 18 He showed a lot of poise, a battle back, and they got the win, a very tough fault victory. Normally early on in the season, these are the type of games LSU normally loses.

Speaker 18 And you see opening, they lost to Florida State, they got blown out. And then they lost the year before that, they got beat.
Now, LSU showed me a little something.

Speaker 18 Going on the road in an extremely hostile environment, the number four team in the country and getting a win, that was very, very impressive. Johnny, let me ask you this.

Speaker 18 What did you like about what you saw from LSU?

Speaker 20 I mean, I think you look at a lot through the game. You see it was kind of stagnant there for a while where nothing was really happening.

Speaker 20 Just kind of just kicking it back and forth, waiting for something to happen. But they stayed patient.
Nussmeyer finally got things going a lot better in the second half.

Speaker 20 They have the turnover in the first half that really killed a lot of momentum.

Speaker 20 But one of these kind of slug-fest games that when you go on the road, you never really know how you're going to win these and get these done.

Speaker 20 But when you look at the end of the day, you want to have this win. And I think they just found a way to get it done in the second half.

Speaker 20 Nothing too like overwhelming, overpowering, or anything like that, but just a solid, you know, one touchdown win.

Speaker 18 Ocho, what'd you like about what you saw from LSU, considering these are the the type of games we talked about that Brian Kelly has seemingly lost early in the season and finding a way to win a game like this?

Speaker 18 You know, when you go on the road and you beat the number four team in the country, it doesn't matter if it's 17-10, if it's 17-16, if it's 11,

Speaker 18 if it's 4-3, you won.

Speaker 19 As long as you get the win. Listen, LSU played extremely well.
I think the beginning of the game, it was very stagnant. It's a very defensive game.

Speaker 19 Obviously, most of the time when it comes to college football, even NFL, the defense is always ahead of the offense because all they have to do is read and and react.

Speaker 19 And it takes time for offenses to get rolling. And what I did see from LSU, and I didn't see enough of, let me tell you what I didn't see enough of,

Speaker 19 of LSU is being wide receiver university. LSU to me is now wide receiver university.
I don't see that dog. I don't see that one player out there that can make a difference for LSU.

Speaker 19 And I didn't see that for Clemson either. They're another university that produces some good wide receivers.
I haven't seen anybody emerge.

Speaker 19 Actually, honestly, we talk about, we talk about not just this game, the entirety of the day throughout, you know, college football, those that I thought are supposed to step up, those that have always been on my radar as really, really good receivers.

Speaker 19 Nobody really,

Speaker 19 what's the word I'm looking for?

Speaker 18 Nobody really stepped up to the front and pressed it.

Speaker 19 Yeah, nobody, nobody at all, especially in this game tonight. I was really looking forward to seeing somebody for LSU.

Speaker 19 to make a difference in the game, somebody for Clemson to make a difference in the game, but that didn't happen. It was more of a defensive slug fest.

Speaker 19 And the points that were scored, they were earned.

Speaker 19 Every point was earned tonight.

Speaker 18 I think LSU will look back on this game. And if they go and have the type of season that I think guys, they want to have, they'll definitely look back at this game.

Speaker 18 Anytime you can go on the road in a hostile environment, and this is not Clemson's number four team in the country, they have the number three rated overall prospect.

Speaker 18 And he happens to be a quarterback, Clint Kubnik, Kubnik Klubnick.

Speaker 18 And to go in there and to get that win, I think that tells you. I think Brian Kelly learned something about his team tonight, Johnny.

Speaker 18 I think he really has, I really think he has a team now that he believes that he can take it anywhere in any environment and get a victory. Yeah.

Speaker 20 Look, this is a playoff team, Clemson, from last year. Same quarterback coming back, a lot of the same pieces.

Speaker 20 So you got to feel like early in the season, you know, this game has been scheduled on their, you know, bulletin board for the whole offseason.

Speaker 20 They knew what they were coming into to play. And like we said earlier, this is a game LSU normally doesn't come out and win.
So for them to do that has to make them feel really good about themselves.

Speaker 20 I don't see anything in Clemson's game that they should feel too down on. You know, you obviously want to win this game, but going through the ACC and the schedule that they have, they'll be fine.

Speaker 20 I think they need to continue to have Klubnick run the ball as he did a couple times there to extend some drives and do some certain things.

Speaker 20 But listen, everything's going to go through that guy, number two, for Clemson.

Speaker 20 And if he doesn't put a touchdown on the board, you know, they're usually not going to come out with a win in that situation.

Speaker 18 Yeah, LSU had to play well. They showed up with t-shirts with one and oh on it.
When When you on the road,

Speaker 18 Johnny and Ocho, when you show up on

Speaker 18 the road against the number four team in the country and you're wearing t-shirts and you already got one and oh, boy, you better come out there, but you better come on out there and play.

Speaker 18 And they played, they played that second half, they really dominated it. They really dominated this game.
Nuss, like I said, Nussby, like Johnny, you were 28 to 30, 8, 230, one touchdown.

Speaker 18 Not overpowering. He didn't have a 300-yard day.
He wasn't 70-plus% completion percentage, but he was solid.

Speaker 18 He made big-time throws when he absolutely had to have them to get a drive, tie the ball game up, and then he goes down and get the go-ahead touchdown. He was very, very impressive.

Speaker 18 And I think Brian Kelly has to be impressed with his team. Defensively, they started getting out the clubnick.

Speaker 18 And once they started to put that pressure on there, brought a blitz, the guy, a linebacker looped around on fourth and four, and they turned him over on downs. But LSU, this was an impressive win.

Speaker 18 Now, you go look at it. Texas is in the SEC.
uh uh georgia is in the sec there are no look there are no e there are not going to be any cakewalks

Speaker 18 i mean even vanderbilt saying hold on hold on we're not we're not your homecoming now and you know vanderbilt used to be every johnny uh first game of the season was homecoming vanderbilt on the schedule vanderbilt was like 10 homecomings a season yeah even when they played

Speaker 20 the coming out party that day

Speaker 18 Hey, everybody's thinking about, hey, I'm going to pad my stats.

Speaker 18 You know, hey, hey, the party tonight i need to i need to shine but the s s uh the sec is going to be very very tough uh clemson um i i agree with you johnny the acc that look they're not ain't a whole lot to write home now

Speaker 18 the team that we're about to talk about in a little bit florida state they showed us something

Speaker 19 that constant leanos uh he he showed he showed us something today hey florida state unc hey johnny I don't know what Florida State team we saw today, but they look really good.

Speaker 19 Not only offensively, which has really been stagnant for a very long time, but defensively.

Speaker 19 They came to play. Earl, hey, hey, Little Jr., is that Earl Little's son?

Speaker 18 I think so.

Speaker 19 It is?

Speaker 18 I think so.

Speaker 19 Hey, boy, he's nice. Hey, he is nice.

Speaker 18 Yeah.

Speaker 19 He's nice.

Speaker 19 He was playing some good goddamn ball that day, boy.
