Oh, you beat the Michigan Wolverines by the score of 24 to 13.

OU really needed this considering the back-to-back years of six and seven.

I thought Michigan

played really well.

Look, they got a really young quarterback.

He just turned 18 years old, Ocho, two weeks ago.

I think in the years to come, he'll be good, but he looked like an 18-year-old guy starting in a very hostile environment, missed some throws, took his eyes from downfield.

And looking at their schedule,

If Oklahoma, Johnny, if they can go, if they can only lose two games with this schedule, they got Texas at South Carolina, they got Ole Miss at Tennessee, at Alabama, and they get LSU coming in.

If they can only lose one or two of those games, they're going to the college football playoff.

With that schedule, already beaten Michigan, and you still got number, you got number seven, Texas, number 10, South Carolina, number 20, Ole Miss, number 22, Tennessee, and number 21, Alabama, and number three, LSU.

Oh, Joe, they lose one or two of those games, guys.

I believe they're going to make the college football playoffs.

Yes.

What are you thinking, Johnny?

I mean, it's all right there in front of you.

You got to go through the golf.

You got to run it.

You got to run it.

Yeah.

You said it yourself.

Look, you said it yourself.

Ranked opponent, ranked opponent, ranked opponent, all coming up through your own college.

So

great test tonight.

You play a team that historically, traditionally, very, very good.

They did what they needed to do.

I wouldn't say it was anything too out of the box, over the top, great.

But in these types of situations, these type of games, you got to go out and find a way to win, win.

And then you're going to get into a run that starts in the SEC that's going to be like, your back's against the wall.

We got to come out and play.

But if you go with two losses throughout this whole schedule and the way it looks right now on paper,

get them in the playoffs.

Before you go, Ocho, think about this.

October 11th, they got Texas, the Red River rivalry.

The next week, they're at South Carolina.

The next week, they get Ole Miss.

The next week, they're at Tennessee.

The next week, they're at Alabama.

The next week, they get Missouri at home.

And the following week, they get LSU at home.

So you got Texas, South Carolina, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Alabama, and LSU.

So six of the seven opponents that they face are ranked, and they're all in consecutive weeks.

Yes.

looking at michigan like i said bryce underwood 9 of 24 142 yards he's 18 years of age he looked 18 years of age he looked like a guy that's just out of high school starting uh for a top-ranked team on the road in a hostile environment and brett venable has made

much uh much more accomplished quarterbacks juniors and seniors look bad.

So I'm not surprised that he did this to Bryce Underwood.

But Michigan has a very, very favorable schedule.

They get Central Michigan, at Nebraska, Wisconsin at home, at USC, Washington at home, Michigan State on the road, Purdue, Northwestern, Maryland, and then they get.

Ohio State at home.

So they have a very favorable schedule.

I thought Michigan had some opportunities in this game.

They got a phase mask.

They gave them a first down, late in the ball game, learn and burn more time off the clock.

But Ocho, looking at this game, looking at Michigan, do you like what you see with Michigan?

You think they can be a contending team

i i like what i saw from michigan obviously they've always been a running team i would have liked the coach to done something different even though you have a freshman quarterback if you see that the running game isn't working lean on your quarterback to be able to make some other plays maybe outside of the pocket rolling them out playing to his strengths a little bit more to get him a little more comfortable the oklahoma defense was very good

They were very good.

So you have to be able to counter that and make the necessary adjustments to give your team and quarterback the best chance offensively to get you in the game because what you were trying to do wasn't working especially the running game and they continue to stay with the same thing because i felt the coach felt listen we're handicapped in a sense where we can't really open the playbook as much as we want because of what you just said having a rookie quarterback and there's only so much we can do The thing that I didn't like about what I saw from Michigan, Johnny, and Ocho, let me know what you think, is that they're running them slow developing ass pulling plays and the backside in chasing it down.

I'm like, bro, you can't, you cannot run that against these teams because they're going to chase it, they're going to chase it down every time.

I mean, they will stop at the guy in the backfield for two to three-yard losses every time.

Yeah,

you got to hit some of those quicker, quicker hitting, quicker inside zone.

Just like get on the ball, get some movement, get going.

Anything when that starts to happen, you're dragging ass.

You play with no

sense of urgency at first.

No pace.

Sense of urgency.

No pace.

I agree.

I just think, Ocho, and you said you don't want to see more.

They were pretty balanced, Ocho.

24 passes, 32 rush attempts.

And the thing that you want to do, you want to try to protect the, Ocho, for a guy that's a dual threat quarterback, he was the number one recruit in the country.

Have you been noticing a lot of these dual threat quarterbacks don't throw well on the move?

Well, if you can't throw well on the move, it's going to be very difficult for you to beat these teams.

And we saw this today with Colorado, and we're going to probably talk about this a little later.

They ended up going to their third stream quarterback because Salter can't throw on the move.

I'm like, these throws are routine, bro.

You got to hit some of them.

I'm not saying you got to be 10 for 10, but damn, you can't be 0 for 10.

Right, right, right, right.

But no, I'm saying you said you wanted them to throw the ball more.

Ocho, the dude was nine or 24.

I can see Ocho if he was 15 or 24.

He was 16 or 24.

He died of 24.

Do you know how bad that is?

That's not even 50%.

What's down to 24?

45%?

42%?

Yeah.

I actually do know how bad it is.

That's why I was saying

make him a little bit more comfortable.

Do some of the things predicated to his skill set.

If you have a dual threat quarterback and he's not really that good, dropping back in the pocket and being able to see things and processing information from the traditional spot, roll his ass out so

he has a good eye line, so he can see what's in front of him, so he can make the necessary throws where he doesn't have to sit there and read a defense.

You do realize that when you roll a quarterback out, you take it until basically you removed half the field.

You remove half the field, you have to because he's not able to play, he's not able to play seeing the whole thing.

But in the process of doing that,

you just said he don't look very accurate on the move, so we're putting him on the move to do what,

yo.

Just get him on those plays with a little handoff and come out where you just come out is so wide open, you just can hand it to the motherfucker.

Just hand it.

That's what it is.

Put a bow on it, some whipped cream.

With Johnny, something.

Just get a little bit of like,

you got to give him something.

When you get into an offense like that, I don't care if you're, you know, a high school guy that's just coming in.

When you open that playbook up and you see it for the first time, you're like, yo, I like stick.

I like slants.

Whatever you like, there's something where the ball gets snapped to you in your hands and you catch it and you immediately, based off instinct, based off everything you've done playing football, you're going to whiz that thing out there and you know you can get a completion.

So, in that situation with a guy starting like that in this type of game, you have to put him in situations and play calls that allow him to do that to where it's no thought, no read, just

bang.

Instant.

And the funny thing about it, too, when you get it, when you get a quarterback that's that young, freshman, 18, 17, however old he might be, playing against a team like Oklahoma that's ranked with players that are very, very good defensively in all three phases, whether it be the front, second line, or the back line,

you want to get him in rhythm.

You want to get him in rhythm early.

You want to build his confidence early.

I'm not going to let him get in the rhythm.

I'm not going to let him get in the rhythm.

He's 18.

So what am I going to do?

I'm going to heat his ass up.

I'm going to put him on the stove and I'm going to start.

I'm going to start.

From the moment he's on the stove, I'm boiling.

I'm not going to let him get in the rhythm because I know that's what.

Look, they want to establish the run.

We are going to stop the run.

We are going to make this 18-year-old beat us on the road.

There haven't been very many 18-year-old college freshman quarterbacks that's ever been able to go on the road in a hostile environment like in an SEC game and win on the road.

I'm not going to let you get him comfortable with Joe because I'm not going to let you run the ball because now if you run the ball, you can play action pass off of it.

I am going to heat his ass up.

You got to.

And Johnny, you know that.

Even you saw what they tried to do to you.

What you did is that you punished Alabama.

Every time they brought the blitz, you made them pay for it because you was coming out the back side.

Hey, you make that first guy miss and you're like, okay, you done missed now.

So I got at least 15 yards before everybody, the crowd start yelling and screaming and people get their heads back around to see me.

I'm chasing the wide receiver.

I ain't going to throw him the ball.

So when you got an 18, when you got an 18 year old true freshman playing at Oklahoma and the way Brent Venables can get after you, you know he's a pressure DC.

That's what he's always been.

That's what he's always going to be.

He ain't letting no 18 year old get comfortable.

The thing about that is like when the kitchen gets hot and the pans are flaming and bursting around and there's fireworks going off and shit in the kitchen and you're you're in the pocket.

I love that.

Like, that's where my like best, that's where my best football decided to come out and be played off of natural instance.

Yes, so of course, Vennables being a guy who played against him, they did it to us when we were at Texas AM.

Didn't work for them.

Nevertheless, you get a kid like this.

I had a red shirt year under my belt.

This is a guy coming straight, fresh out, a lot of hype, a lot of now.

We're in the era, a lot of money,

a lot of, a lot of like there's heavy, heavy weight behind what this kid's coming into.

So all in all, as a program for Michigan, I still think they're going to be set up for

the future.

But for a night like tonight, like, listen, you're playing the OU team.

This is legacy history, a good program and one that didn't have the year they wanted to have last year.

They're coming for some, they're coming to play some ball.

They are.

And Brent Venable knows his job is on the table.

He gave a little money back that says, okay, look, I'm bought in.

He understands it.

Six and seven is not good enough at OU.

It's not.

That's a very proud, historic program.

They've won national championships.

They have as many Heisman Trophy winners as anybody in the country.

And that's a proud university.

And six and seven ain't going to cut it.

Not at that university, not in the SEC, not in the Big Eight, not in the Big 12, not in any conference they've ever been in.

Oklahoma wants to be at the top of that pyramid.

When you look up there and you see the Alabamas, you see the Ohio states and you see all those great universities, Oklahoma pride themselves on being that.

They played for national championship.

They've been in that game.

They won that.

They have great coaches.

You look at the coaches that they've had.

Bud Wilkinson, rest his soul, 57-game winning streak, three national championships.

You got Barry Switzerland who started the wishbone.

And you got Bob Stoops.

They ain't accepting anything less than that, Johnny.

Hey, Norman's not an easy place to walk into and play, too.

We went there my red shirt year and I was on the bench.

Their benches are really close to the sideline.

People in the front row.

I don't know if you've been down to Oklahoma, but

no, I haven't, I haven't been.

They'll tell you some shit over there.

They'll say some shit over there on your sideline.

So I know

being a redshirt freshman that first year, you're kind of seeing all these games and all these places.

You know, Norman was a place where if you ain't really walked into a lot of stadiums before and you're sitting there and that they're really close to you they're on your

head all night so i know he felt it tonight for sure and and the thing is look they weren't always in the sec but the one thing we know about sec football those fans are ravenous and it fits i mean oklahoma and texas it fits because their fan base is ravenous what else are you going to do in norman oklahoma besides go watch a college football game what else are you going to do in austin texas besides go watch a college football town Those are college football towns.

So is Tuscaloosa in Birmingham, Alabama.

So is Knoxville, Tennessee, so is Starkville and all those other.

You go back and look at it in the SEC.

Every team that plays in the SEC,

where their school is situated, the only thing they have is college football.

Now, you can drive down if you're at the University of Athens is, you know, 90, is like an hour, hour, and 15-minute drive to watch, but that is a college town.

So is Columbia, South Carolina.

So when you look at all these schools, those fan bases, that's the South.

Football rules the South.

I don't give a damn what you bring down there.

You could bring, hey, you could bring the Yankees.

They're not going to outdraw a college football team.

It's just the way it is.

And to ask him to go into this environment,

I do think, Johnny, next year, this time, he'll be better equipped.

He'll be all right.

Different story.

Yeah.

Totally.

Totally agree.

Did you see the Colts pretzel?

That was my other big takeaway from that game.

What was that?

Looks like something that should not be sold.

Oh, my.

So that was my other big Colts takeaway.

They sold sold that?

Yes.

I might want to go back to that.

At the Colts Stadium.

Yeah, I might want to go back to the drawing board on that.

Yeah.

I thought the shape we had with pretzels was working pretty well.

Smart for generations.

We're just here trying to enjoy it.

We hope you all will join us throughout the year and let's go.

I hope I'm as youthful as Pete Carroll is at his age.

He's a young 73.

He is a young 73.

He is spry.

I wouldn't fight him.

I would.

When Colorado's offense stalled, Coach Brime skipped over his backup, Julian Lewis, turned to third string, Ryan Stobb, instead, Stobb went 7-10, 157, two touchdowns after take it over for starter Caden Salter.

Coach Prime's explanation after the game, I wanted it to tell its own story.

Instead of me telling the story, I wanted it to tell its own story.

The plan was going to be each quarterback gets two series apiece.

They did, and somebody was going to come out of the pack.

Johnny,

it's not normal that we see something like this, but are you surprised that Coach Prime did this?

And can he continue?

Or has he found this starting quarterback?

Listen, I think the one thing that you, we, us collectively obviously know about prime is he's going to get a guy in that position that can do what needs to be done for the overall collective of the team whether it's x y or z somebody's going to get on that field and do what we need to do to move the ball down the field and get this offense going and he's going to oversee the whole thing that's the one thing about it so hey you're not getting it done it's early in the season we're in week one two three you're early you gotta get your reps because how much can you really tell from training camp how much can you really tell from springball when they blow the whistle and the sacks and the rah-rah bullshit that goes on in practice what can you really tell so get out there live bullets are fired that's that's you come out you play what we said last week

That's what I think that's what Coach Prime.

Look, the cream is going to rise to the top.

And so I wanted to see.

And like I said,

Caden Salter, Coach Prime say he's a dual threat and really a dual threat.

He can move.

But, bro, he misses entirely too many throws, Ocho.

I'm talking about guys wide open.

And I'm not talking about, look, I'm not talking about no difficult throws.

These are throws a guy of his caliber should be able to make routinely.

Yes, go ahead, Ocho.

No, I was going to say, obviously, with Prime, especially in this situation, I don't care who you playing.

I don't care if you're playing the Sisters of the North.

I don't care if you're playing the Holy Spirits.

There are certain throws that he has to make being in starting, being the starting quarterback.

For one, you're playing for Coach Prime.

Two, you're playing for Colorado.

Three, you have to understand that everything you do, being the face of that team now, especially being a quarterback, you have to do everything the right way to give yourself and your team the best chance to win.

What we saw today was not it, Uncle.

Unk.

That was not it.

I have a question for you, too.

And you two, who were they playing?

Who was Colorado playing?

Delaware.

There should be no reason.

No disrespect to Delaware.

There should be no reason that the coach has to go to another player.

You can't go to the third street quarterback.

At the most important position on the field.

I agree.

There's no reason.

I agree.

Hey, we're going to find somebody.

We're going to find somebody if you ain't going to come out of stands.

Come on.

You can throw the

picks in.

Come on.

Johnny, again, Delaware, come on now.

This is the game where you're supposed to be your confidence.

This is the game where you're supposed to put up big numbers, big yards to be your confidence going up into week three.

Yeah, it's supposed to be a game.

Utah beat Cal Polly 63-9.

Texas Tech beat Kent State, 62-14.

Indiana beat Kennesaw State, 56-9.

Tennessee beat East Tennessee State, 72-17.

Alabama beat

Louisiana Monroe, 73-0.

That's what's supposed to happen with CU today versus Delaware.

Yeah.

That's why you schedule those games.

We've had those games before when you come out.

Sometimes when you play opponents like that, though, at times, and you know what you're supposed to do, and it's pre-planned and pre-rolled for you to go out and do it,

sometimes there's something in the air, something makes it a little bit different where

you overlook it or you're just not on your P's and Q's to the best of your ability and you can let it slip a little bit.

And that's what happens today because you know, you look at the score and what it is, they're still

in the water, feeling around, trying to get your footing a little bit for sure, is where that team is at right now.

Even, even if we, first of all, the third string quarterback plays because we're up 50 to nothing.

That's why he plays.

We don't bring the third string quarterback in, Johnny, to give us a spark.

I can honestly say this: I've never seen this before.

And I think, if I'm not mistaken, I think, isn't Delaware an FCS or are they

Division I?

I think they're FCS now.

Subdivision, whatever they call it.

I'm not trying to be disrespectful, but I think

that's what Delaware is.

Hey, they got a check, Shannon.

They got a check from that school.

Oh, yeah,

you got to, they probably played them a meal,

mill, a meal, too.

Hey, does that, hey, I have a question, too.

When it comes to the schools like this, where it's the Power Five play in the smaller schools, and the smaller schools get that check, does it go strictly to the athletic department only?

Yeah.

Okay.

I'm just curious.

Look, there's some schools that, look, I just, I would, you know what, Ocho, I want to win the Powerball for the simple reason.

In 2026 and 2027, no HBCU will pay a Power Five school.

I'm not, you're not going to get beat embarrassed.

To get $500,000 or a million dollars.

I'm going to give you a million, I'm going to give you $2 million.

I'm going to give each of you guys $2 million not to schedule these.

Because what it's doing, Ocho, it's not helping the club.

I understand it's helping your athletic budget, but you're getting your kids embarrassed.

They have

no business being on the school, being on the field with those guys to go out there and get beat 77-0, to get beat 70-3.

What is that doing, Ocho?

Wait, who?

That was Florida State today, right?

Florida State beat somebody 77 to 30?

Yes.

And that's, ah, man.

Okay, this is Delaware's first year.

Delaware's FBS now, guys.

FBS?

Okay.

Yeah, you shouldn't.

And I understand, look, I mean, hey, Oklahoma State got a check, and Oregon put 69 on them.

But you know, Bethune Cookman, Savannah State, Grambling, when you go play Ohio State, Ocho, Bethune in Ohio State, really?

You really,

I mean, I don't even know.

They probably took it off because a lot of what they had started doing was taking them off the board.

We're not going to even bet this game.

Savannah State going a couple of years ago, playing Oklahoma State and getting beat 77, nothing.

They played Miami, get beat 84.

What is that?

And you get that.

And you get the, guess what?

Now they give you 500,000, 700,000.

And you got to bring your band because

your travel is pay.

You got to pay for your own travel.

out of the money that they oh hell no man because that's why i want to win the lottery i want to win the lottery because i want to give every historically black institution i said i'm giving y'all two million dollars not to take these damn games and get your players embarrassed because it does nothing for them but all it does is make these schools that's playing you it their alumni like oh we beat such and such come on man

Come on.

Yeah, but Bob, you know what?

You know, the funny thing about it, Tuong, is those games has to be scheduled.

Those games have to be scheduled for a reason because

there's no other place for that money to come to.

Revenue is not flowing through HBCU programs.

No, I know it's not.

Yeah, no, that's what they look forward to these games scheduled against Power Five Schools because of huge chunks that can help the program, whether it be academic or athletic.

Let me ask you a question: you want to sponsor, you want to be spot, you want to attach yourself to somebody that got beat 77-0, 84-0.

I'm just asking.

I mean, you got to think Famu always has to play University of Living.

I don't have to.

I mean,

we ain't won the power ball yet.

We ain't won the mega millions yet.

I think the thing is, look,

all right, don't put that in the air.

We won that bitch.

I think the thing is, Ocho, is that it's the same thing that Prime ran into at Jackson State.

60,000 people in the stands, and everybody bought tickets, and all of a sudden,

we only raised 20,000.

That's your issue.

Right.

Like I said, we're going to win the powerball, and I'm going to fix this one.

I can't fix it forever, but I'm going to fix it for two years, Ocho.

Yeah, you're right.

You're right.

I'm going to fix it for two years.

You got who?

A fam you.

Don't even worry about it.

You were taking Miami off the schedule.

Here's 2 million.

Stay home.

Right.

Schedule somebody.

Go play Savannah State.

Go play Edward Warden.

Go play Marjorie.

Get your girlfriend something.

Yeah.

For sure.

Hey, you know what I'm saying, Ocho?

We're going to start our own bowl.

We're going to have a Nightcap bowl.

We're going to have a Nightcap bowl, OJo.

Hold on, hold on.

You just, come on, you got my brain thinking that.

We be talking about Savannah State versus Savannah.

We have us a nightcap bowl.

We have a nightcap bowl and a club Shay Shay bowl.

So that's two games right now.

Hey, get a big, I'll pay y'all guys a million dollars to come play the cup to play the club Shay Shea Bowl and the Nightcap Bowl.

but i like that

for real but going back to this game

i i i mean you need your third stringer to give you a spark against delaware at home

yeah now to me salt uh uh uh uh star should

look better he looked better today

than than than than Salter did at any point in time the pre the first game or today.

He looked better in the little bit that I,

the, the, the Tim reps.

I mean, he came in, look,

he was great.

Ain't nowhere around it.

He was great.

And I was surprised that Coach put Salter back in the game.

Go ahead, Ocho.

Well,

you know why he put him back in the game,

his confidence.

He put him back in the game simply for his confidence because he feels he is quarterback number one.

There's a reason he had to put him back in the game.

Okay, you know what, son?

You didn't play well in the beginning of the game.

I had to go to quarterback two and three so we can get a little spark.

So we get a little bit, a little bit of momentum and consistency.

But this is your job.

I'm going to allow you to go back in so you can prove yourself.

So you can get a better understanding on what I need out of you.

This is what I need out of you.

With other, well, not two, what number three was able to come in and do.

That's what I need.

That's why he put him back in the game because he still feels he's a quarterback to continue to lead them down next week, week three, week four, and so on.

And if he plays bad again and not able to do the routine things,

the routine things that quarterbacks should be able to do with their goddamn eyes closed, you're coming out the game.

And the next time you take him out, he ain't going back in.

No, I'm just being honest.

From a coaching standpoint and from a player who's played the game, if he take you out twice, you're not going back in the game.

Because, you know.

If you do what you're supposed to, I ain't even looking at this.

I ain't even look at this star.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, absolutely.

I ain't even looking to put nobody else in there.

Hey, go and hell with that.

I know you got this taken care of.

So, what you think?

Tell me, Johnny, what you think?

And in a situation like that, let's just say, for the sake of argument, this is you, Johnny.

This is before, obviously, if you, Johnny football, that ain't gonna happen.

But just say before you became Johnny football, you, Johnny, you, the starter, and then coach pulls you out, and you see either the backup or the third stringer comes in there and he drives them down there.

And he, those two guys, that one of those guys look better leading the team than you did.

What's going through your mind?

Yeah, I think the one thing about college athletics is when you get in, you come in together and you get in that quarterback room, there was no,

at least in my situation, there was no animosity between the one, the two, the three, the four, and the walker.

We were tight-knit.

We were really close.

So

I got hurt against Auburn.

I had to go down below the stadium, get a shot to try and come back.

Matt Jokal came on the field, let us on a couple drives.

Like, I think for our morale and our situation, like,

and in this one currently, you want to have a great QB room, not one that's pins and needles and really kind of going at each other.

Oh, man, you're not thinking in your head, oh, am I going to get a play?

Is this my chance?

This, this, you have so much stuff that could be going through your mind.

You want to have great camaraderie, great.

you know, cohesiveness between your quarterback room where, hey, listen, we are the guys, four, five, six guys, whatever it may be in this quarterback room that makes this whole ship run.

We have to be together.

So if it's Salter, we need you to go.

If you're going and you're taking us down, you're driving us, amazing.

We need that.

And eventually

this will play itself out in a way to where everybody on the team, the O-lineman, the left tackle, whatever it may be, rallies behind the guy because they see that little spark.

And they will rally behind him and it will present itself.

And they will, it's just like a horse.

you got to tie up with somebody so they'll find somebody and in this little early season moment you'll look back at it and be like okay

trying to find our footing

now we latch on we go yeah

next week what do we see salters so is it still it's still it stays still the same one two and three stays the same

Yeah, absolutely.

Salter's starting next week.

Matter of fact,

this is going to tell you the whole story.

I think they play Houston.

They do.

They play Houston on Friday night.

Houston not that bad, huh?

That's going to be a test.

It's Houston not that bad.

So

now you get to see.

If he goes out there and he plays bad and he puts the team in uncomfortable positions

where they don't have a chance to win or things aren't going right offensively, Prime is going to make that change.

He's going to make that

change again, and he's going to make it a lot sooner.

He's going to make it a lot sooner this time.

It starts on Monday, right?

It starts on that first week of practice, setting the tone, getting ready, getting right.

Like, you got to, you know, what it is.

You saw it play itself out.

You, you're sitting there on the sideline as you're not playing.

You're watching the team go down.

You that gives you a sense of urgency.

That's a kick in the ass that you need.

So when Monday comes around and they run out the ones for the team period, you're up.

You better fucking latch on to that.

Take that practice week really, really, really serious yeah and get ready to go because houston's not just gonna roll

and i think the thing is that i love about that that that that prime did is that like he's like bro i understand how this look and how this might upset you and your feelings but right now i'm trying to win a football game

feelings gonna win football games huh they don't

no

they don't And Prime understands that

playing at the level, coaching at that level, he understands.

He's been a coach.

He's coached high school football, Jackson State, now CU.

He understands.

And a lot of times, sometimes coaches are afraid to hurt the starters' feelings.

And sometimes they stay longer with that guy than maybe they should.

I want to give a coach some credit for going to make this decision because I promise you, it wasn't an easy decision.

Well, I know one thing that when the Colorado Buffalos lose,

you know who gets the bulk of the bulk of the bulk of the hate

the head coach

they're not gonna be they're not gonna be talking about the quarterback coach prime for it to be in the news coach prime and gonna be in the media so making that that decision at the quarterback position and and making a move to one that can give us a better chance to win it's easy because of the bull drive he got to deal with if they do lose

So it's going to be it's going to be a very interesting situation moving forward.

We'll see how they how the how this thing plays out.

But Johnny, like you said, hey, they'll still

this Monday leading into the week, things could change.

But I agree with both of you guys.

I think Salter stays the starter, but I don't think this thing, I think this thing is written in pencil.

It's not written

in Sharpie.

It's not written in permanent ink.

They don't race a thing.

Florida inexplicably loses to University of Southern Florida 1816.

This is the second week.

They went on the road.

I think they went on the road last week and they beat Boise State, number 25, Boise State.

They come home and they in state.

They go down to Gainesville and they beat Florida.

Man, Billy Napier.

Johnny, what happened?

Go ahead, Ocho.

Go ahead.

Go ahead.

I was just going to ask you, Johnny, Johnny, what happened to the Florida that I love?

What happened to the Florida that I love?

He ain't open it that wide, Johnny.

No, Johnny, he do, he opened it like this here.

I know you, hey, hey, you you either gay to gay to bait now people eating gay to tail they're eating gator now

I don't understand what happened when I think about the Florida teams especially collegiate

of the 90s and the 2000s the early 2000s where Florida Miami and Florida State were the schools to be

and be at

especially from a competitive level, no matter who you're playing every week, you got some dogs coming out of every week.

Regardless of what the...

Where is Jeremiah Smith?

Where is he from?

Oh, he's from the...

Okay, the Williams kid that's at Alabama.

Where is he from?

Florida, right?

Florida, yeah.

Where is he at?

He's at Alabama, right?

You see what happens when you keep letting your in-state, your best in-state players leave?

Now, you got to think about it.

It's Miami, it's Florida, it's Florida State.

If you could just recruit the state of Florida, you'll be fine.

But you can't keep them now because you got Ohio State, you got Alabama, you got Tennessee,

you got other big teams that's willing to pay to get those kids.

So where they got Tim Tebows and they got the Percy Harvins and they got the Channing Cross,

hey, they got the Joe Haydens.

Those guys, bye-bye.

Because guess what?

Because like you said, Ocho, they're no longer competing for national titles.

I'm going to Alabama.

I'm going to Georgia.

I'm going to Ohio State.

I'm going to Michigan.

I'm going to where they

compete for titles.

They're not competing for titles.

They're not close in Florida now.

Listen to how we just started this segment.

20 years ago, 10 May, 10 years ago, you wouldn't believe it.

University of South Florida beats Florida.

I wouldn't have believed it.

No, nobody believe.

Ain't nobody believing that.

Nobody believe in that.

My, how the times have changed.

But congratulations to University of South Florida.

What are you thinking, Johnny?

Man, I'm thinking,

you know, a lot of

hype around DJ Lagway, around this team, around this.

Like, Florida will always be Florida because of what they have done in the past.

You know, watching AM football over the years, seeing, we had a slip up a couple years ago.

Appalachian State came in early in the season and beat us.

I'm sitting there on on Twitter.

I'm egg on my face.

Every corner of the world.

Like,

so it happens.

You can be walking down the street, somebody come up and slap you on the backside of the head, catch you slipping a little bit.

But this mentality and this

way the program is being run right now, as far as as a whole, I think anybody that wears the Florida colors, my boys, Jokeem Noah, Chandler Parsons, Joe Hayden, all these die-hard Gator boys.

Yeah.

You did.

Because this is a tough pill to swallow tonight.

That's not, Ocho.

That's not the U.

That's not FSU.

That's not Florida.

That's not LSU.

That's not Tennis.

That's the Bulls, baby.

Whoa, whoa, wait.

Wait a minute.

Hold on, huh?

Hold on.

What you mean?

It's not the U.S.

That's not the team that beat you.

That's South Florida.

Oh, God.

That's what I'm saying.

All right, I got you.

I got you.

I got you.

I got you.

But

I'm expecting Florida.

Have you seen Florida State the past two weeks?

Have you seen the University of Miami the past two weeks?

Well, what the hell is going on down right down the street in Gainesville?

At some point, you should be improving too, just like everyone else.

Or your two other sister schools that aren't too far away from you.

How are you regressing as a program

and losing to University of South Florida?

That's no disrespect to them, but it's just not supposed to happen.

I want to stand correct that Ryan Williams is from Alabama.

He's an in-state kid that stayed in state.

He and Jeremiah Smith was thinking about going to Ohio State together.

And

he wanted

Jeremiah Smith to come to Alabama.

Jeremiah Smith wanted him to come to Ohio State.

He stayed in state, Jeremiah Smith.

But you go back and look at, you look at, at they let uh

the guy that just retired from the raiders

up

south florida kid

calvin ridley south florida kid jerry judy south florida kid you they all from the bottom yeah you see all they let all

that's you know florida used to have receivers now the one thing they did have they had receivers yeah yeah back to back

Anthony

Caldwell, they had receivers.

Ike Hilliard, they used to have receivers out of the yin-yee.

They had running backs out the yinye.

Another one.

Yo,

speaking on this game still, too.

Byron Brown, USF, 23-36, 263 and a tutty.

And a little 66 on the ground.

We're going to go for over 300 going into Florida's place.

Man,

mad props, mad respect.

Go in and have a game like that.

Played really well against the

team in the country.

You're right.

Yeah, you got to give them some love, man.

That's a hell of a game.

Good props to the young man.

You're absolutely right.

Oh, Harry is right here.

The US, U.S.

USF in Florida.

I mean,

you paid them.

They probably got a good, they got a cool million.

That'd be like, hey, Ocho, that'd be like paying somebody $500 to slap hell out you.

Nah, hell, nah.

You paid this team a million dollars to come down there and put foots in you.

These are the type of teams that Florida scheduled for homecoming.

I'll tell you 500.

Let me smack the top of that head, baby.

I'm like, man, come on.

Hey, hey, Johnny, oh Joe, man, y'all know, hey, at a big school, hey, we are, when you put something, when you schedule, obviously it's not a homecoming game, but when you schedule somebody for homecoming, you're supposed to win.

You got all this alumni coming back.

The students that don't even normally go to games, they're going to come to the game.

They want to see a dove.

I guarantee you, when they put USF on the schedule, they're like, Oh, yeah, this is a dove for us.

This is dove, they probably checked it off as soon as they saw the schedule.

As soon as they saw the schedule, there's certain teams that you look at.

Oh, we got this.

This ain't nothing.

But

what?

No turnover.

South Florida didn't turn it over.

So,

and they took the ball away from Langway once.

31 for 143.

Langway was 23 of 33, 222.

So he didn't play bad,

but they had to, South Florida had 263 passing, another 128 on the ground.

Two things that jumped off to me.

You lose the turnover battle, even though it's plus one or minus one, whatever you want to call it, and penalties.

I mean, 103 yards and penalties, too.

So

two things in a game like that that comes down to be, you know, three scores for each team-ish.

You know, turnovers and penalties come down to be a lot of the nitty-gritty of what it comes down to.

Neither team was really great on third down.

South Florida was six of 16.

The Gators were four of 12.

Nothing right home about.

The Gators possessed the ball almost nine more minutes.

But like you said, Johnny,

the great equalizer are penalties.

So when you have what 28 more yards, two more and 28 more yards and penalties, you bring a team that maybe you're better than, you bring them up to your level or you creep down to their level.

And South Florida goes in there and that's great for their program.

So guys looking like, hey,

we play Floridas Florida's, and guess what?

We beat them.

So, just because you go to

go down there, that don't mean you're going to win.

You can stay right here with the Bulls, and we got that.

But from this game,

Florida's defensive tackle, Brendan Bett, was ejected for spinning in the face of an opponent in the final drive of the upset loss to USF.

Battle spinning the face of South Florida offensive lineman Cole Skinner.

Ocho,

Is this a new thing?

Maybe they were doing it, Ocho, and we didn't have the cameras around to be able to see it.

But what is, we just saw this Thursday night, and I'm sure he saw it.

It's been everywhere, so everybody's seen it by now.

He turns around.

It's been in the guy's face.

I don't understand.

Listen, knowing that cameras are out there, coaches can see you.

There's a camera at every angle.

There's a camera in the sky.

There's a camera on the saddle and there's a camera in the north and south end zone.

You can't get away with nothing.

You can't get away with anything.

The referees out there.

So I'm not sure how angry, how angry are you getting?

Listen,

South Florida whooped them up and down the field all night long.

So there's the frustration.

There's the frustration where it boils over to that point.

Man, I got a good story.

My first start, SEC, we played Arkansas.

We played them at home.

It was one of these raining, torrential downpour games.

We're kicking the shit out of them at halftime.

We come out in the second half, run the ball.

I get tackled, big pile, mash up, bottom of the pile.

This dude, I hear him too.

Oh, come on, Johnny.

Spit it, spit through my face mask all over my face.

For the rest of my life, we'll never forget that ever.

I got up and just looked at old boy like,

you're mad.

You're a big man.

Oh, Johnny.

It happens.

But to see it in the NFL game, no, it's plastered all over social media, everywhere.

You're going to come out and do it again.

Like,

some people.

I'm going to say this, oh, John.

I'm going to let you go.

If you spit on somebody,

whatever they do to you after that, I'm cool with.

Right.

Wait, even on the field of play?

If you spit on someone on the football field or in the mall, walking down the street, whatever they do to you after you spit on them, I'm cool with.

I got you.

I got you.

I got you.

And you know what I don't like too?

For a player, any player that does spit, not the person that's receiving it, but the one who...

is responsible for doing the spitting that stays with you forever yeah

i'll definitely forever rest of my life, I'll be my 85 years old.

I ain't never

what that felt like, what it smelled, all of it.

That's it, and you know, you know, it's gonna affect affect everything, especially if he's a prospect, too, going to the draft, huh?

But they can remember that.

And this is, uh, I guess there's another defensive lineman from the University of Florida, uh, uh, Jamari Lyons.

He was ejected for spinning on an opponent in 2023 during the game against Florida State.

I, I, I, this is,

You're perplexed.

I am right now.

I just can't fathom.

And look, we've all been really, really mad.

We've all been really, really upset.

But

the thing that's going through my mind is not to spit on somebody because I'm saying, whatever somebody does, look,

I might not be able to control

your actions,

but I can control the consequences from your actions.

So you get to control one or the other.

You get to control the actions.

Someone else gets to control the consequences.

If you spit on somebody on the football field, you spit on somebody again, outside of the football field.

Whatever that person does to you, I'm cool with.

Good with it?

Yeah.

No, big one, one takeaway huge for this week.

I thought my favorite game of the day that I watched all day.

You guys tap into the Baylor SMU game?

I saw that.

I saw.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, Johnny and Unc, my nephew, my nephew

played for SMU, Romello Brunson.

Okay.

That was a

unbelievable two-minute drive by Baylor.

Shout out to Jake Spavitzol, my guy, my old OC at Texas AM.

Unbelievable two-minute drive through a nice little seam route, a little beater to take it into OT.

OT, Baylor goes down and scores.

First play from SMU, dot on a fade ball right out of the gate.

Couldn't get it in on their second possession, but man, shout out to Baylor.

That was a really, really good game.

Me and KD were sitting out here in Paris, locked into that game,

watching how it unfolded.

So I think that was my favorite game of the weekend for sure.

Well, if you like points, if you like getting up and down the field,

which

most of us do because we're on the offensive side of the football, football,

it's hard not to like that for the simple fact, like you said, 48, 45.

So that's what people come to the ball game to see.

They don't want to see all that, oh, 13, 10, and 21, 20.

Nah, I want to see some points.

And the more overtimes, the better.

If you want to see some funny shit, watch Iowa State try and score a touchdown with a minute and a half left on the clock in a football game.

They don't know what the hell's going on when they have to throw that thing.

Man, I was like, man,

this this was uh uh i tried to pull the uh

i know we got more

the uh baylor smu it was just up but i hit it and something else came on

sawyer robertson 30 uh 34.50 for 440 and 4.

see

okay

Back-to-back weeks, balling.

But you know what?

The Baylor, the thing, first of all, SMU is going to put points on the board.

Baylor is going to put points on the board.

He keeps doing that.

That's what I did.

No, he did the same thing.

You hit Baylor, and

that's what came up.

It's going to be, it's, like I said, I love,

if you love points, watch a Baylor game because they're going to score and it's going to be hard for you to prevent someone from scoring.

So

you're going to get probably a game that's going to go late into the fourth quarter, and it's probably going to be a field goal or touchdown game one way or the or the other syracuse head coach fran brown made his team run sprints after winning 27-20 versus yukon ocho johnny have you ever seen anything like this have you ever been a part of something like this

i i've seen something like that at the high school level I see something like that when I played Pee Wee, when I played for Literacy Optimus, or I played for Miami Lakes Optimus, you know, when things aren't going well.

And I've never seen it happen after a game.

It's always something that you do during practice or after practice.

Or maybe, you know what, huh?

Your teacher calls and tells your mama, your grades ain't up the park.

You've been getting in trouble in class.

You're disturbing.

Your coach puts you through gassers as punishment.

Suicides, whatever you want to call it.

But after a game, at the collegiate level, nah, huh?

Nah.

No,

I've never seen anything like that.

I wouldn't want my teacher to call my grandma and tell her nothing about my grade because my grandma is going to come up to school and tell your ass up.

So

that'll be worse.

I'd rather run gasses.

Then have my teacher tell me to run gassers because I already know what happened if Mary Porter was going to come up there.

Ocho, I remember I told you the story, Johnny, I told Ocho the story.

We lost the game on a Saturday and Coach told us after the game, he said, since y'all didn't hit nobody with these uniforms, y'all didn't get them dirty, we're going to get them dirty tomorrow.

We're going to practice tomorrow.

So we got, so that same uniform, he said, don't wash them because ain't nothing wrong with these.

They're not dirty.

They're not musty.

They're not stink.

So have them have these jerseys hanged up, hung up in their locker, and we're going to practice.

And so we practiced that, man, you talking about, I'm like, damn,

even being 20 years old, I was still, I think I was like, no, I was 19.

I was still sore because I just played a game.

I just played 60, 70 plays.

And to come right back out there and put the, and put the,

put the pads on.

We play bad in the rain.

Coach wet the whole field.

We go out there and practice

in the rain.

You know what it is, though?

I'm sitting here.

I'm telling you guys from spring ball into summer into training camp.

I keep saying the same things.

Y'all keep doing it.

Keep doing something wrong.

I keep preaching.

I'm preaching.

I'm letting you know as I stand up in front of this team meeting in front of you.

This is how we're going to do things.

Oh, you boys don't want to listen?

This is the game.

Jas on the line.

I know where he's coming from.

I get it.

I mean, do you want to do it?

But I guarantee you what, when they get on that bus and you can hear a pin drop on the bus on the way back to the plane or wherever they're going, they were home.

That message, that message is going to be received.

Yeah, Syracuse was at home.

You call.

Okay, home.

You're going to be

taking your car back to the crib.

Your girlfriend ain't talking to you.

Man, fuck him, bro.

That sucked.

That's it, man.

I mean, it's embarrassing.

It's just like anything.

I mean, you know, because a lot of times we didn't go into the locker room, Ocho.

We would go down in the corner of the end zone, especially if we weren't winning.

Now, if we were winning, coach would take us in the end zone.

But if we weren't winning and coach is doing this,

you know, if somebody doing that, you getting ringed out.

He mow forward us, and they're so being us.

I'm like, Lord, have mercy.

All the thing I'm going through my mind, he ain't talking to me because I got nine for a buck 20 and a two touchdown.

So he ain't talking to me.

That's the only way I can get through it, Ocho.

We only got one heartbeat.

But see, I have to tell myself that because my grandmother never spoke to me like that.

And I feel some type of way if people, somebody call me out of my name.

So I'm just telling myself, Shell, he's not talking to you.

So it's okay.

He might be looking at you, but he's not talking to you.

So that's what I'm telling myself, Ocho.

I understand.

He has to do it for the betterment of the team.

That's why I always did the right thing because I didn't want someone to think that I could do wrong, but they had to do right.

No, I'm going to do right.

So everybody, and so now, well, hell, if Sharp does it, we got to do it.

But if Sharp says, no, we're not going to do that, well, we're going to rally behind him.

And so I understood, I understood coaches, you know, frame of reference, Johnny, because I told Ocho also that we used to jump outside and coach would make everybody run, even the people that wasn't even on the plate.

Ocho say, yeah, you'd be jumping out.

Hold on, we even did the ones, no, it doesn't matter.

You on the sideline, if you're on offense and you jump offside,

give me a lap.

Give me a lap.

But yeah, look, I bet he got their attention.

Yeah.

Because the last thing you want to do.

is after you've played in most college probably most colleges you're going to probably play 60 80 plays i'm looking at this beta game uh johnny they had 94 recorded plays

they had two receivers oh cho go over buck go over buck 40 buck 45.

one had nine for 151 the other had 10 for 145

and 115 yard rush

you would have liked that baylor yeah um they throw like crazy they throw like crazy was it what's the receiver what's the receiver went to baylor and it really didn't pan out nfl

it went really early

very early coleman corey coleman with the first round draft pick he didn't he go to he went to what you call him though though?

Didn't he go to Tennessee first?

I don't know.

He went to that team.

I don't really talk about it.

He went to Cleveland.

What you call him went to Cleveland, too.

Led the league and receiving.

Who?

Josh Gore.

Oh, Josh Gore.

Josh Gore.

Hey, he was the real deal.

He can't tell me nothing.

Hey, Josh was the real deal.

Yeah.

Who was, there was another Baylor receiver to play for the Cowboys, my dog.

What the fuck's his name?

It was cold.

Fuck.

terrence uh terrence williams

yeah gee good player yeah good route runner they got some dogs that came through there for sure

uh

johnny we're gonna get you out of here on this one uh an alabama fan says she know what she would do if she won the powerball let's take a listen to what she said

What would you do if you won the big Powerball draft cut?

I'll tell you exactly what I'd do with the first $70 million.

I'd pay off Kalen DeBoer and and get him the heck out of the University of Alabama.

And then I'd take whatever else it took to get rid of the AD, O'Byrne.

I don't like him either.

So they're ruining our football program.

I'd give my church money.

I don't know how much of what I'd have, you know, after I paid my taxes.

But I'm sure I'd have plenty with this kind of deal.

But I know I'm not going to win.

I just hope I win some scratch-offs.

I just do it for the fun of it.

Hey, she says she knows what she do with the first 70 million.

She go get old DeBoer out of there.

She's going to get him up out of there.

She go pay the whole 70 million.

Hey, will you, Alabama, OJ?

Hey.

Hey,

the standard is a standard, and it's been set for a very long time.

That's why you don't want to be the man coming after the man.

You don't.

It's the same thing with Coach Bryant.

Who would want to follow Coach Bryant?

You think I want to follow that?

Heck no.

Who wants to follow Coach Sabin?

Who wants to follow Coach Tom Osborne?

Who wanted to follow Barry Schwitzer or Bud Wilkinson?

Who wanted Frank Leahy?

I don't want to follow those mythical coaches.

Yeah.

Now, every once in a while, you'll get a guy that follows Jimmy Johnson, Erickson.

And guess what?

He kept it going.

And then he goes to the NFL.

But I,

and even though Jimmy was good, Jimmy wasn't on the level.

He could have been had he stayed.

But I'm saying, Coach Saban has been there for 20 years.

He's never lost what, more than probably after his first year, more than four games in a season.

Johnny, you win that 1.5, 1.6 billion.

What Johnny gonna do?

I might break her off a little piece of that because I don't keep her vibes a lot, to be honest.

She's cool as hell.

She's a vibing to my family Thanksgiving this year for sure.

Man, to be honest,

you probably ain't never going to see me again.

Damn, Johnny.

We just two weeks

I'm gonna drop off a duffel bag at your forehead.

Okay, okay, okay, that's what we're doing.

That's what

I'm gonna make sure I take care of my people and then

I'm outside.

Hey, can we get, I'll tell you what, Johnny, drop the duffel bag off and then when the college football playoffs at the national championship game, just come back after the national championship game, break it down, and that'll be it.

We appreciate it.

Peace out.

What is it?

1.5 billion?

1.7 billion?

1.7.

Oh, yeah.

Hey,

Ocho, you win 1.7 billion.

You're going to stop being so damn cheap?

No, no, no.

I'm going to still be cheap.

I'm going to still be cheap.

Listen, I'm going to teach you how to spend some fucking money.

I'm going to be the only person.

I'm going to be the only billionaire still flying spirit.

Seat X and Row 13A.

Well,

you might have to bail Spirit out because I don't know how much longer.

But anyway, they close.

But Ocho, you're not going to be quite a billionaire yet.

I'll be 1.7.

You probably be about 600 million, but you'll be close.

No, they don't.

No,

1.7 in taxes.

Okay.

No doubt.

Oh, yeah, I'm definitely taking a lump sum.
