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.
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, the last one, 45 yards to put them ahead with a minute and seven seconds left in the ball game.
And they go on the road and they defeat the Buffaloes 27-20. The first game without Shadura Sanders and
the receiver, Travis Connor. So Colorado is on a new era now.
Hey,
Kalen Saunton, 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,
I was disgusted watching this game. I say, what about gap integrity? What about contain?
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.
It's like if you play the Naval Academy or Army, you know they're going to run the football. Oh, Joe.
I'm like, Livingston, are you going to make any adjustment? Guys, what is your responsibility? What about your gap integrity?
What about your contained responsibility? I'm like, this is utterly ridiculous. And quarterback Salter,
bro, you missed entirely too many throws. He missed entirely too many throws, Ocho.
And number 20 got a nice set of hands on him, the running back. Bro, he wide open.
And I hate when quarterbacks do this, Ocho.
When you miss a throw, you go to the running back or you go to the wide receiver, talking about, I want you. No, bro, I was right there.
Put it on me. All you had to do is hit me right here.
Don't talk about turn. 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.
You can't let somebody come into your building and run the ball 47 times for 320 20 yards. Hold on, let me see.
Before, Ocho, let me see what it is.
Yes, sir.
Play by play.
See if I want to see.
No, I want to go back.
Box score.
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 in the first quarter and you want to score seven points, you telling that team, beat me, beat me, kick our ass.
You're supposed to have a barrel. They didn't, and they got what they deserved.
Go ahead, Ocho. I'll fight it in a second.
Go ahead.
I say, listen, what I was going to say is, obviously, we all wanted to see what
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.
You want to see what areas you need to improve in. Obviously, we see defensively, 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? We run. That was the issue last year, the OJO.
Damn.
That was the issue last year. Obviously, Georgia Tech showed that.
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.
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.
And then it was two more turnovers 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.
Three turnovers in the first quarter
from Georgia Tech. Oh, look, in the first quarter, and you only do something with it one time.
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.
They're not doing enough offensively to put me at ease 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 go down and score. But the other two, it seemed like you really couldn't move the ball.
You didn't.
You really couldn't move the ball.
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
yeah but it obviously unknit wasn't enough it wasn't enough you want you wanted you want a happy balance of both you know 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 are they going to throw it but they weren't good enough in the air either huh
that's the quarterback ocho
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.
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 gonna we're gonna be nice ocho because these are college kids these are professionals although some are making it week one
it's week one too it's week ocho throw it on the move that should be able to week one week no one week anything you should be able to throw he ocho the throws that he's missing because that's third down you're off the field right you want to stay on the field i want another crack give me four more cracks at you
And we saw him miss numerous throws. The second time he had an opportunity, Ocho, why would it? He could have ran the the ball to the end zone instead of throwing it?
Yeah. Bro,
we understand that you have a nice arm. I mean, we saw him launch it 60, 65 yards.
But, bro,
sometimes you got to understand, okay, this is an opportunity for me to,
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.
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.
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.
You throw 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?
On the scramble.
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 some type of range to throw a Hail Mary pass. I'm not sure what the issue was there.
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.
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.
I'm going to start with just the running game, being able to stop the run game, having to having the hey, listen, having the meat and potatoes to be able to compete up there in the trenches and stop people from running down your goddamn throat.
320?
That's where it's 320.
Yeah, that's a lot. That's a lot too, boy.
Oh, that's that's a whole lot. Running the football and stopping the run is about will.
It's about want to. Because schematically, I can't do anything.
Ocho, they weren't doing anything.
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 a running back. That's all they were doing.
They wasn'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.
That's what we did. And that's why football is, for me, mentally the toughest work, because you know why, Ojo? You're asking one man to move another man against his will.
Now, I know Colorado, they want to leave that patch of grass,
that A 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.
You getting up out of here.
Yeah.
And I'm like, bro, what?
Livingston?
I know, A, and look, you go back and you watch the film. There's a lot.
you didn't really do a whole lot good other than the fact you know when they got the lead i mean you you came down they got when got 20 you matched them but then they go right back down the field right back down the field and they ran the football on you
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
Yeah,
on the ground at that. On the ground at that.
Hey, listen,
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.
You ain't got to, you ain't listen.
If you ain't got enough meat and potatoes up there in your front, in your front yard, and you got them boys, ain't got enough rocks in their back pocket, you can get you gonna get moved around, you can get pushed around.
You know, you understand that, and that's what you saw tonight, week one.
The same issues you had last year, 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.
People that got this,
that want to come downhill.
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 going to, 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. Corners.
Ocho, whatever happened to,
I'm not going to let my outside arm get pinned.
You never give up that leverage. Where is the hell leverage? Where's contained? Don't know.
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.
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 off defensive linemen. I'm like, bro, that is your gap.
How you letting that man get you up out of there? That is your gap.
And the funny thing about it is
coaches can coach it and repeat it over and over and over and over as many times as they want.
But when the bullets are flying on, you have one responsibility to take what you're taught and execute the X's and O's.
That all comes down to want to.
That all comes down to want-to at the end of the day. Oh, Joe.
the here's here's the thing when you walking through something it's easy yeah
but if you want to find out what a man can do put him to the test
the test is when the
hut when that ball moves that's the test see i know what you i know what you're doing when you're walking through
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 because I've seen so many guys, and you have too.
In practice, yeah,
they look like Odell Beck catching the ball, they're running the ball.
I'm like, Well, damn, look at how you break on the ball, Deion Sanders,
and then get in the game, and he playing like Colonel Sanders. I'm like, Oh no, hell no,
man, please.
So,
but I'm Chad, I'm sorry, Chad, I'm on one tonight because yeah,
if you guys can tell
that Colorado colorado game they got me pissed off i don't know i'm to the highest
i'm pissed is that a word
yeah hey who you who they who they playing like colonel who 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
man
and and i'm looking and i understand oh yo i understand some of these guys i mean i mean starting for the first time the bright lights
But
that's what
makes us who we are. To be able to perform
under duress, under adversity,
and not forget that I can't get my outside arm pin.
I got to hold contain. I got to maintain my leverage.
I got to have sound gap responsibility.
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
chat I'm not look
maybe
I'm using turn but you watched the game you saw what I saw
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
damn hey what up y'all it's DJ Envy from the breakfast club now picture this you open the car car door, you step inside, and there's no driver in the front seat.

What's up? It's Big Lone from It's Up Dead Podcast.
On this episode, episode, we're unpacking the difference between toxic love and a real bond, how so many of us were taught to survive love instead of experiencing it.
A lot of men think being solid means being silent. I'm good.
I got it. That's the script we memorize before we even know ourselves.
Because somewhere along the line, expression got labeled weakness.
So now we perform. composure while we're falling apart.
You'll share your body, but not a conversation, and that's not intimacy.
but what if being a man really means you care enough to communicate real love isn't loud it's consistent it's the small things the small check-ins the shared accountability the honesty that feels awkward but keeps everyone safe stop confusing numbness with dependability we got to break the cycle and break the pattern
This special episode of It's Up Dead Podcast with Long brought to you by Healthy Sexual from Gilead Sciences on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcast.

Granger for the ones who get it done.
They've got, look, it's the first game ocho.
And for me, I've always felt that I wanted at home, especially the first game ocho.
I gotta, I gotta win that. I gotta hold serve at home.
Gotta win that. Got to.
And listen, they had plenty of opportunity.
They had opportunity. When they got those two, those that second and that third turnover and do and didn't do anything with the ball, I said, it's going to be a long fight.
I told Spake, I said, Colorado
because that should have set the tone for the game right here. Should have put him down.
At worst case scenario, you'll put him down 13-0, 17-0.
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.
And
it puts all the pressure back on Georgia Tech.
Go ahead. Go ahead, Ocho.
No, I'm 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. I won't.
All second half, all second half lost.
Because guess what, Ocho? I still got, 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 seven, nothing.
Now, maybe if it's 17, nothing, maybe if it's 21, nothing, I force you to throw the
thank you. But now,
even with these turnovers, you allow me to still stay in my comfort zone. Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
Hey, 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, you, 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 in week three, a month four, month five, month six.
So they squatting, they squatting basically. I've got them, okay.
Guess what? You come home, it's locked, it padlocked,
or the locks changed.
Uh-huh. And then I don't know why.
I don't know what happened. I know what happened.
You $13,000, you're $15,000 in arrears on rent.
And I've got responsibility.
I got banks that want their mortgage
on this building. And you talk about,
man, that bank don't want to hear nothing about you lost your job.
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.
so in this situation right here all colorado did was yell across the field hey appreciate them three turnovers now kick our ass
yep yeah that's it three turnovers in the first one ocho
yeah you got you got to do something with that
after the second one i say okay if they get another one
we got we got to we got to we got to 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 near three and out. They did.
Damn near.
Might as well have been. I say, you know, it's going to be a long time.
No, I knew they wouldn't win in 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. I don't want you to be able to run the football.
I want to, what is you, what do you do?
What is the second best thing that you do?
I want you to play to that i don't want you to play to your strength on joe 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 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
right but like i said
i know uh 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, 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.
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.
Now, one thing I will say, Ocho, they look better in pass protection.
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.
he's gonna go play he's gonna yeah he's gonna go play he's gonna he's gonna 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
because they're just i mean think about it they still have five more minutes of possession with three turnovers
and a lot of turnovers are like two plays one play turnover three plays turnover
you're giving you giving the ball back too fast you're not doing nothing with it not doing you're not Not doing nothing with it. Man,
I was,
man, I was so frustrated because I'm like, bro.
Hold on. You think you're frustrated tonight?
Wait till you see tomorrow's game. You might be frustrated again.
Who? Who played tomorrow? Oh, Clemson. Well, Texas and Ohio State.
What do you mean? Who played tomorrow?
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,
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.
But you know, when you know time, you kind of vest it, you know, you and I both have gone to see you, watched them play.
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.
They went on the road. They outplayed him.
And Coach says, look,
we give their defense credit because the defense bowls their back because they got the three. They only gave up seven points on those three turnovers.
Yeah.
So that could have, they could have gotten, they could have gotten out of hand. Colorado took care of the football.
They didn't turn it over not one time. They had less penalties.
But
when you let a team go run for 320,
320, I mean, first of all, 200 yards a lot. Would you start letting teams get 300, 400 yards running on you?
Man, please.
Please. Yeah.
But
I'm sure Coach Prime, I don't know how they do it in in college, Ocho. I mean,
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.
I was thinking about that, Ocho. Ocho, do you know?
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 your pads on. We go into practice on a Monday.
I don't know about that.
Hey, listen, hey, Gray, 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.
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 feeling after game day.
I absolutely know.
You know how long it takes to get out of bed after a game? I do. Man,
put on some pads. Pads who?
Shoot.
Now
ain't happening. But they'll probably have tomorrow off.
Come in Monday, wash the tape, and get ready because it's a fast turnaround, Ocho.
You can't let this linger. That stench is there.
It's just something about
look at it. It's been damn near 40 years since I was in college, Ocho.
But there's something about, and I was never a big, a big guy that went out after the game.
But I can assure you, if we lost, you were going to see Shannon Shaw face on campus. Oh, hell no.
First of all, you barely saw me after a win.
Barely. I'm talking about maybe, I think I went to maybe one party in four years of college.
I know, no, no. And we lose?
Yeah.
I'm looking at the guys filing out, man. They hurrying back old show to show, especially if we're home.
They hurry up and shower and go to the party.
I'm like, you sorry, mofos? Y'all want people to see y'all? Y'all just lost.
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, we had what, maybe one, maybe two winter seasons.
My entire
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 out,
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, uh, all them boys down there in Cincinnati as a group of five.
Uncle, 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 of this day. Dude, we used to go to Annie's after every game.
We play at one o'clock. The game in at three.
We at Jail Xander's at six o'clock. And then when 10 or whatever it calls roll around, oh, I'm going out.
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 in the hood that be out off a short vine and
wherever they from, you know, just talk football. I like that.
I was more of of a people person, you know, during that time and love to talk to gamers,
whether we were losing or winning. And I would always show my face, whether we were losing or winning.
I mean,
I mean, one of the worst times I had, Ocho,
I was in Baltimore and we had made reservations. I had already made reservations at Ruth Chris.
I had brought everybody in and we lost the game.
If I didn't have my mom and my sister and all them kids, I'd cancel that.
I would get takeout. I would get takeout.
We lost the game.
Hey, Sean, we going about such and such. Say, nah, I'm going on home.
I'm going home.
I'm a sore loser. I'm a worse winner.
But
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.
You need to be studying your play. You know what I'm saying?
I ain't trying to hear that.
So
we take my black ass home, sulk, mope, and think about, about, man, what could I have done differently?
Right.
Hey, oh,
I was hanging with us.
I was hanging with us. We have a game.
We have a game.
Obviously, we played one o'clock.
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.
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.
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. We on the corner, huh?
We on the corner in Cincinnati, just chilling. Ain't nothing.
I'm going home.
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 it never changed well i don't know if they still in existence but i would go i would call i would get black i peas with the name of the restaurant.
I would get the grilled chicken or the country-friend steak. I would get kernel, I would get rice, I would get kernel corn, and I would get black eyed peas.
I'd get a combination of like
lemon, lemon tea,
raspberry tea or something, and I'm going home. Yeah, that's it.
I'm going home.
I want to be miserable by myself. I don't want to see nobody.
I don't want to talk about, I don't want nobody to tell me you played a good game because I played like dog. I don't care if I had 150.
I played terrible. I didn't play good enough to win.
And I don't want nobody to try to pat me on the back. You guys are going to get.
No, I'm not.
No,
I don't know what's going to happen after this. I'm talking about this game.
So
I know how I am.
I've always been like this.
We lost a game in high school. Hey, y'all, we got, man, I'm going home.
Coach, take me home.
If we win, your boy, your boy, hey, I'm going to walk the streets with y'all. Right.
But if we lose, right, right.
Yeah, you, you, you're infinitely me. Can you say you're taking it out? No, no, because I know, because Ocho, I've always been one of these guys that worked so hard for it.
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.
You see, I like what you just said. You know what you put in.
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 game when it comes when it, when it, when it comes time to get paid, you get paid individually. You do.
You definitely do.
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. Now,
I'm not going to punish myself. Why am I punishing myself? Why? Am I not going nowhere? Because y'all start.
I'm going to get out here. I'm going to go get my Jay Alexander's.
I'm going to talk to my homeboys, you know, and I'm going to go out. I'm going to go to Annie's and I'm going to enjoy myself.
Now, I don't drink no alcohol, but I got my fellas with me. i got my fellas with me i'm gonna make sure they have a good time

Coach Prime, who was recently diagnosed with bladder cancer and needs frequently use of the restroom, no longer has to travel far.
He has a portable toilet next to Colorado's bench to accommodate him following bladder reconstruction surgery and is sponsored.
Man, time by this by.
Hey,
that depends. But I know they're paying well for that.
Oh, yeah, for sure.
Because a lot of people are embarrassed by that, Ocho.
Who?
I wish I would. Why? You know how many zeros probably? Yeah, but I'm coming behind that right now.
A lot of people don't want people to know know that they have to wear an adult undergarment. You know what I'm saying? Like that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.
Listen, you got to understand who Prime is. You got to Prime is.
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.
People wear them, but they don't want to advertise it. But like you said,
you know what I'm saying? Hey,
hold on. They make them for a reason.
Anytime they make something, somebody is purchasing it.
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 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 she said libby i want my dignity so my grandmother wouldn't work my my grandmother wouldn't wear them and you know she obviously uh she passed i think rainy was 88.

What's up, it's Big Lone from Miss Up Dead Podcast.
On this episode, we're unpacking the difference between toxic love and a real bond. How so many of us were taught to survive love instead of experiencing it.
A lot of men think being solid means being silent. I'm good.
I got it. That's the script we memorize before we even know ourselves.
Because somewhere along the line, expression got labeled weakness.
So now we perform. composure while we're falling apart.
You'll share your body, but not a conversation, and that's not intimacy. But what if being a man really means you care enough to communicate?
Real love isn't loud, it's consistent. It's the small things, the small check-ins, the shared accountability, the honesty that feels awkward, but keeps everyone safe.
Stop confusing numbness with dependability. We got to break the cycle and break the pattern.

Florida State pulls the upset, unranked Florida State, takes down the number 18 in the country.
Tyson put pressure on Ty Simpson
pretty much all day. He was pressured on 16 of 51 drop backs, one of 10 for 30 yards with three sacks when pressured.
Simpson was not on the same page as Ryan Williams, who left the game late with a concussion. Simpson was just 5 of 11 when targeting him, 0-3 on passes thrown more than five yards down the field.
Kalen,
I was thinking to myself, Johnny, and Ocho, I was like, man, look here. I understand
there's not a college coach that's going to be Coach Saban, but you can't, you can't, he's lost to four unranked teams in 14 games.
Coach Saban 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.
He has a $70 million buyout.
They ain't got them deep pockets like y'all got Johnny down at 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.
You watched Alabama. Oh, yeah.
Coach Sabin's not walking through that door anytime soon.
Okay. Coach Saban's not walking through that door ever.
Yeah.
When you look at Alabama, they don't even look the same. They don't have the same swagger.
They don't even take the feel the same. Well, Uncle, understand, of course, they don't look the same.
This is, this is what we're seeing now when Saban was there. This was pre-NIL.
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.
Money talks.
Which is one of the reasons why Nick Sabin left? Because
the playing field has even where the level of talent is scattered across everywhere. Well, now, most of the part, coaching comes into play and coaching is that much more important.
It's that much more important now because
Florida State today,
I'm not going to say they embarrass Aleppo, they embarrass Alabama, but
I guarantee you a lot of people, a lot of people, especially if you gamble, I guarantee you had Alabama to win. I guarantee you had Alabama to win.
Johnny, what you think?
What didn't you like about what you saw from Alabama and what did you love about what you saw from the Seminoles?
I mean, I think Castellanos for Florida State jumped off the page in in every aspect of everything. You know, you look at what they did.
He only threw the ball nine times.
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
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.
That fear aspect of what Alabama is is completely gone.
and nobody's scared of them boys not Vandi not Kentucky not nobody 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 years you say that buyout's deep but like they're not gonna sit here and let this stand for sure they'll go find it in the woods somewhere
They absolutely will because I was thinking the same thing with that said about Jimbo because prior to Jimbo, the biggest college buyout was Gus Mozan when he got 21 million to leave Auburn.
And basically, you tripled, damn near quadrupled that with this buyout for Jimbo. But you're absolutely right.
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.
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.
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. It's fear.
That's one of your biggest strengths is another man's fear. 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.
When you look at the running backs, it was Mark Ingram and Trent Richardson and this one and that one. And you look at Derrick Henry and Jameer Gibbs and this one and that one.
You go look at the wide receivers. You went to Julio and Ridley and Cooper and this one and that one and Judy and back to back.
And 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, when have you watched the game, Johnny, and you played against them?
When can you honestly say you watched an Alabama team and ain't nobody jump off the page at you?
Ain't nobody like, damn, ain't nobody going to find Alabama. Not since the Georgia game, not since the Georgia game last year where Ryan Williams did his thing and absolutely went crazy.
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.
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.
And the funny thing too, Unc, 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.
And me saying, like, nobody popped out to me on film today and people and people in the chat saying it's only week one. Yeah, week one.
Yes, it's week one. That's the whole point.
You allowed to pop out.
Just because it's week one, that don't mean you can't play. That doesn't mean you can't show up.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. What do we talk about? It's only week one.
Yes, that's when you actually pop out 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 you playing against them boys so i'm expecting i was expecting i was expecting maybe maybe coaches want to call conservative games maybe they want to feature the players that we've all been been been noticing on commercials and seeing over and over and over so maybe
maybe next week
Maybe the week after. I don't know.
At some point, the game for today
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.
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.
When I think about Alabama, the one thing Alabama could do was stop the run. You know, Coach Saban, Johnny, you had to throw.
The thing that gave Coach Saban problem has always given Coach Sabin problems, the dual threat quarterback and the guy that could pass the football.
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.
Now, the things that gave him the most problem is a dual threat quarterback, a guy that could throw the ball and run.
You look at Johnny Manziel. 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.
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 bamboo bamboo don't let you run they step you 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 and custom and customianos uh was doing whatever he wanted to do like you said john extremely efficient in the passing game only threw the ball 14 times but when you can and you know gus malzon you know what he wants to do he wants to run the football he wants to give you a lot of misdirection he's gonna run jet sweep he's gonna run your quarterback he's gonna run his quarterback that's what he does hey hey florida state almost lost not almost lost that game but almost letting them boys back in the game too after the after the second half that second half and third quarter every everything started being conservative everything started being conservative the three and outs giving giving alabama the ball back allowing them to have a chance to get back into the game 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 came back and won that game with as conservative as florida's play florida state played in that second half well old alabama wouldn't have been behind like that
too
go ahead johnny
no i think 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 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 an Alabama has been when
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.
Like, we're going to put our best corner against your best receiver and body 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 you got to be concerning.
Yeah, and plus. They can't run the ball like they used to.
You know, Alabama gets them hogs ups. And I'm looking at the offensive line.
They go 6'7, 340, 6'7, 320, 6'6.
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, oh, you got to move furniture, you that big, yeah, yeah.
I said, y'all that big and can't block the sun out your eyes. I was like, well, damn, ain't no sense of being
that big if you ain't gonna move something.
Yeah, I'm like, well, damn, I mean, 29 rushes for 87 yards. Oh, Joe, 27 rushes,
89 yards. Yeah, three yards of carry.
Yeah, Florida State looked good on Florida. I'm talking about all three levels, up front, second level, and the secondary.
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.?
Hey, he was all
you're talking about, the DB Earl Little, right? Yes, Earl Little went to North Miami down here in Miami.
I think that is his son. You think so? Man, he would ball that boy.
Nick Saban 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.
Since 2007, in games in which Alabama was favored by at least 14 points, Coach Sabin is 131 and 2. Kaylin DeBoer is 4-4.
They get you up out of there.
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.
So, I want to be the guy that came after the guy that followed Coach Saban. I don't want that pressure.
You don't want to follow Coach Bryant. You don't want to follow a Nick Sabin.
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.
Because now that's what I'm going up against, because I've got some separation between me and Coach Saban. I've got separation between me and one of these historic great coaches.
The question that I have for you, Johnny, is that do you believe the NIL would be the death of the SEC?
No, I don't think so. I think the South will only, the SEC and that conference will only find a way to
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.
to make it successful. I think we'll see some more, I think we'll see different programs, different teams,
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.
But, you know, for the most part, I think the SEC is aligned for whatever moves forward in the college football NIL 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.
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.
Oh, Joe, what you think? Because you look at Underwood.
I think we might touch on him. Yeah.
You get Larry Ellison, one of the top three richest men in the world. He underwrites it.
You get Dave Poitnoy from Barstool.
You get a Tom Brady says, hey, I'll personally help you out and mentor you and coach you. And you give a kid, an 18-year-old, $12.5 million.
Say, come on down here. This is what we got for you.
It's hard when you got these deep pocket donors. You get
a team like an Oregon and you got Nike and you got those that Phil Knight dollars. And you get all those uniforms.
So now it ain't no Dodge Chargers. It ain't no challengers.
These guys got Ferraris, Johnny. These guys got Lambos.
These guys driving Cullinans and McLaren's. Yeah.
18, 19-year-olds. Yeah.
Yeah. Listen, hey, the landscape has changed.
The landscape has changed. And it's like I said, I said it's even the playing field.
And I think it's good. I think it's good for the players.
I think it's good for the players because not only are you able to obviously get money for playing a sport you love, you're able to help your family out.
You're able to help your family early. Now, as long as you can stay focused and understanding that you got this money as just a jumpstart for your bigger dream.
for your biggest of making it to that next level where the real money is as long as 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.
You're right. Because
it sure seems that way now.
It does look like, I mean, look, Alabama still gets 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.
And they're, like you said, I mean, if they're 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,
the number one, the number two or three dual threat.
They don't, those guys don't look like the same caliber player that they normally once have, had, had.
And I think you guys are right. And you know, I have a question too.
Go ahead. Johnny, y'all could probably help me out.
When it comes to these stars and whoever is rating them. Yes.
From the people that are supposed to be these four and five stars, when the lights were bright tonight, when the lights were bright today
in general,
the stars didn't come out.
The stars didn't come out
at all.
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.
doesn't matter if you if you are who you say you are first game second game third game first quarter second quarter third quarter it does not matter yeah
and i'm gonna chop it
you're like a pit bull on a leash when this first game comes up you're we're
thank you
you know you 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 you're fake blowing stuff up you have the sacks whistler blown that you'd be like, boy, if that was in a game, we'd have tore your ass up.
Like, that's what you're doing all spring and all training camp. So now you're off the leash.
This is your time to run free. First time on a field, maybe in front of the lights.
Yeah, it can hit you a little weird in a couple spots, but when it comes down to it, a dog is a dog, and it's time to be off the leash.
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
first time in a long time, you've had two Death Valleys. That's what Clemson called their home, Death Valley.
That's what LSU calls their home, Death Valley.
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.
Nussmeyer, Garrett Nussmeyer, played extremely well, John. I thought he played really well in the second half.
He calmed down.
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 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 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. What did you like about what you saw from LSU?
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.
It's 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.
They have the turnover in the first half that really killed a lot of momentum.
But one of these kind of slugfest games that when you go on the road, you never really know how you're going to win these and get these done.
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.
Nothing too like overwhelming, overpowering or anything like that, but just a solid, you know, one touchdown win.
Ojo, what'd you like about what you saw from LSU, considering these are 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?
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,
if it's 4-3, you won.
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.
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 react.
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, Unc, 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. And I didn't see that for for Clemson either.
They're another university that produces some good wide receivers. I haven't seen anybody emerge.
Actually, honestly,
we talk about not just this game, the entirety of the day throughout college football, those that I thought are supposed to step up, those that have always been on my radar as really, really good receivers.
Nobody really.
What's the word I'm looking for? Nobody really.
Stepped up to the front of the impression. Yeah, nobody, nobody at all.
Especially in this game tonight, I was really looking forward to seeing somebody for LSU 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, and the points that were scored, they were earned.
Every point was earned tonight.
I think LSU will look back on this game, and if they see they go and have the type of season that I think guys they want to have, they'll definitely look back at this game.
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, and he happens to be a quarterback uh clint kubnick kubnick klubnick uh 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 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
look this is a playoff team clinton's in from last year same quarterback coming back a lot of the same pieces 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 they were 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 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 i i think they need to continue to have klubnik run the ball as he did a couple times there to extend some drives and do some certain things but listen everything's going to go through that guy number two for Clemson.
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. Yeah, LSU had to play well.
They showed up with t-shirts with 1-0 on it.
When you on the road,
Johnny and Ocho, when you show up
on the road against the number four team in the country and you're wearing t-shirts and you already got 1-0, boy, you better come out there, boy, you better come on out there and play. And
they played that second half. They really dominated.
They really dominated this game. Nuss, like I said, Nuss,
Johnny, Ur, 28 of 30, 8, 230, one touchdown. Not overpowering.
He didn't have a 300-yard day. He wasn't 70-plus percent completion percentage, but he was solid.
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.
And I think Brian Kelly has to be impressed with his team. Defensively, they started getting out the clubnick.
And once they started to put that pressure on, they brought a blitz.
The guy, a linebacker looped around on fourth and four and uh they turned them over on downs but lsu this was an impressive win now you go look at it texas is in the sec uh georgia is in the sec there are no look there are no e there are not going to be any cakewalks
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 air johnny uh First game of the season was homecoming.
Vanderbilt on the schedule. Vanderbilt was like 10 homecomings a season.
Even when they played FC
coming out party that day
hey everybody's thinking hey I'm gonna pad my stats 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 agree with you Johnny the ACC that look they're not ain't a whole lot to write home now
The team that we're about to talk about in a little bit, Florida State, they showed us something.
That Costa Lianos,
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.
Not only offensively, which has really been stagnant for a very long time, but defensively.
They came to play. Earl, hey, hey, Unc Little Jr.
Is that Earl Little's son? I think so. It is? I think so.
Hey, boy, he nice. Hey, he is nice.
Yeah. He nice.
He was playing some good goddamn ball that day, boy. Everybody knows Shaq, but off camera, he's just a regular guy.
People never believe me when I say I'm just like them.
