 Boomo Bugg on 93.9 The Score.

2
00:00:05,780 --> 00:00:12,140
 You know my brother, by as well as I do, being a TV star in Janxville, is that beginning to go to his head?

3
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:19,460
 Well, it is, and you know what he told me? He said, Bill, I'll buy you lunch tomorrow. I said, you cheat, skate, and stuff for me anyway.

4
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,440
 Same place he bought the last lunch for you, right?

5
00:00:23,460 --> 00:00:24,560
 That's exactly right.

6
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:28,280
 Yeah, I mean, if that don't sound like a television diva, I don't know what is.

7
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,060
 Oh, Lois, a TV diva now.

8
00:00:31,180 --> 00:00:33,120
 Kiss my ring, Bill, kiss my ring.

 Now, your host, Harold Bugg on 93.9 The Score.

15
00:01:08,700 --> 00:01:11,900
 Good afternoon and welcome here to the Boomo Bugg Show.

16
00:01:12,020 --> 00:01:13,680
 I'm Harold Bugg alongside Brett Beaird.

17
00:01:13,780 --> 00:01:16,900
 Thank you so much for giving us free ride around the Tennessee Valley.

18
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:21,720
 Brett Beaird, welcome in to the good, the bad, and the ugly.

19
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:26,300
 Where do we break huddle with a Monday afternoon quarterback?

20
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,960
 Happy Monday to you and the listeners.

21
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,180
 Alabama's defense smothers LSU.

22
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,220
 Auburn finds an offense but loses in overtime to Bandy.

23
00:01:36,860 --> 00:01:40,780
 And unfortunately, UNA loses another close game to West Virginia.

24
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:46,060
 13 Shoals teams and area teams advanced at the second round of the playoffs.

25
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:51,600
 And BenThomasAveille.com will tell us who might get to the quarterfinals.

26
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:57,500
 But Adam is here right now to update his latest SEC hour rankings.

27
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,420
 Adam is Adam Spencer.

28
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:00,300
 He's busy there.

29
00:02:00,380 --> 00:02:01,600
 It's Saturday down south.

30
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,700
 Adam, welcome in to the Monday after.

31
00:02:03,820 --> 00:02:04,440
 How are you?

32
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:06,000
 Hey, guys.

33
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:06,560
 I'm doing good.

34
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:06,960
 How are you?

35
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:07,500
 Hey, bud.

36
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:09,480
 Man, we're in a zip code here.

37
00:02:09,640 --> 00:02:11,340
 Correct us if we're wrong on this, Adam.

38
00:02:11,620 --> 00:02:16,500
 Have you ever been in one of those twilight zone feelings where a team wins, but the fans

39
00:02:16,500 --> 00:02:17,660
 feel like they lose?

40
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,500
 A team loses, but the fans feel like they win.

41
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,920
 In other words, Alabama fans are walking away.

42
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,660
 I know they beat LSU, but Auburn fans are saying, I told you so, Hugh Freeze.

43
00:02:27,660 --> 00:02:28,520
 That was a quarterback.

44
00:02:28,860 --> 00:02:31,840
 Adam, where do you start indulging our zip code today?

45
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:37,400
 Yeah, I mean, I think you just really have to question what Hugh Freeze was doing with

46
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:42,180
 that Auburn offense, because, I mean, like, you and I could figure out, throw the ball

47
00:02:42,180 --> 00:02:42,860
 to Cam Coleman.

48
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:43,260
 Yeah.

49
00:02:43,500 --> 00:02:48,960
 I mean, credit to the Auburn interim staff for actually doing that.

50
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:50,320
 I mean, you know, you see what happens.

51
00:02:50,660 --> 00:02:55,220
 He had that left-handed touchdown grab, and then he followed it up with a right-handed two-point

52
00:02:55,220 --> 00:02:56,060
 conversion grab.

53
00:02:56,060 --> 00:03:01,520
 So, I mean, I don't know what Hugh Freeze was doing, but get the ball to Cam Coleman, and,

54
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:06,280
 you know, you'll put touchdowns on the board, and, you know, it's just such a difference

55
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:12,880
 from the embarrassment against Kentucky to, yeah, they lost, and, yeah, there's, you know,

56
00:03:12,920 --> 00:03:17,660
 there's, they deserve questions will be asked about the defensive performance, but, yeah,

57
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,140
 Ash and Daniels looked good and got the ball to the playmakers.

58
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:30,720
 Adam, Alabama's defense does a very good job of smothering LSU, holding them to three field goals.

59
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,900
 The Alabama offense seems to have actually regressed.

60
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,580
 Ty Simpson misses some deep throws.

61
00:03:37,340 --> 00:03:40,480
 The Tide still struggles to run the football.

62
00:03:41,340 --> 00:03:45,700
 We will find out against Oklahoma and Tuscaloosa on Saturday.

63
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,980
 No question Alabama was in control of the game.

64
00:03:48,980 --> 00:03:53,500
 Texas A&M should have been much more dominant if they hit three or four more plays.

65
00:03:54,020 --> 00:03:57,820
 I know you moved Texas A&M, and right now I can't argue with that.

66
00:03:57,900 --> 00:04:05,300
 You've got Texas A&M in your SEC rankings, number one, after their win over Missouri, and then

67
00:04:05,300 --> 00:04:07,280
 Alabama, you moved down to number two.

68
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,400
 Both still good teams, but right now I would agree with you.

69
00:04:10,620 --> 00:04:14,940
 Texas A&M probably is the most complete team in the SEC.

70
00:04:16,260 --> 00:04:20,020
 Yeah, Texas A&M looked really good, you know, backup quarterback from Mizzou.

71
00:04:20,300 --> 00:04:24,400
 You know, that was a tough assignment for Matt Zollers, but, yeah, they looked really good.

72
00:04:24,460 --> 00:04:26,900
 They took control of that game in the second half with their running game.

73
00:04:27,980 --> 00:04:30,820
 Yeah, I mean, Alabama, it all starts with the running game.

74
00:04:31,060 --> 00:04:35,960
 You know, they just can't get going on the ground, and that, you know, puts undue pressure

75
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,940
 on Ty Simpson in the passing attack.

76
00:04:39,140 --> 00:04:42,880
 And, you know, yeah, they deserve credit for doing a lot to win, because, you know, that

77
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:48,800
 credit, or that LSU defense, you know, the strength is the secondary, you know, with Mansoor,

78
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:54,220
 Delane, and some of those, you know, Delane's going to be a first-round pick, maybe top-ten pick.

79
00:04:54,340 --> 00:04:55,320
 Like, he's that good.

80
00:04:55,660 --> 00:04:58,300
 So, you know, he just takes away whoever he's on.

81
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,880
 You know, they don't even really target the guys that he covers anymore.

82
00:05:01,700 --> 00:05:05,080
 So, you know, that was going to be a challenge, trying to, you know, be one-dimensional against

83
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,300
 the team as good as LSU.

84
00:05:07,740 --> 00:05:12,860
 So that was, you know, but, you know, credit to them for making enough plays to win, and

85
00:05:12,860 --> 00:05:17,560
 credit to the defense for just, you know, standing tall and, you know, really bending, but not

86
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:23,560
 breaking, and forcing some of those field goals instead of touchdowns, even if LSU did

87
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:28,060
 give them a gift there with, like, two delay-of-game penalties, and then Garrett Nussmaier spinning

88
00:05:28,060 --> 00:05:30,000
 right to the hands of a defensive lineman.

89
00:05:31,700 --> 00:05:34,160
 Adam Spencer in the huddle with us, Saturday down south.

90
00:05:34,420 --> 00:05:38,360
 Bama with a whopping 56 yards, total rushing the ball.

91
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:39,360
 This is Alabama.

92
00:05:39,580 --> 00:05:40,940
 This is not McNeese State.

93
00:05:42,180 --> 00:05:44,680
 Your thoughts coming into this ballgame this weekend.

94
00:05:44,940 --> 00:05:49,880
 Oklahoma, they got good stats, but they've shown that you're a Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde on

95
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,800
 defense, too, against opponents like Illinois State and others.

96
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:57,540
 Yes, they dominate up against Ole Miss, and maybe some of the others, not so much.

97
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:58,980
 We're going to find out this weekend.

98
00:05:59,580 --> 00:06:02,680
 Your thoughts about how much pressure is on Ty Simpson.

99
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:07,740
 To me, I see him pressing because of that, Adam, because right now there's nothing there

100
00:06:07,740 --> 00:06:10,920
 to rely on when it comes to running games, so it looks like he's putting everything on

101
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:15,820
 his shoulders to make sure that he passes and is as perfect, and he's hard on himself

102
00:06:15,820 --> 00:06:17,440
 anyway, as possible.

103
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,640
 Your thoughts, where do you break it down, and how that affects this ballgame coming in?

104
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,080
 I don't care who they got their defense stats against.

105
00:06:24,180 --> 00:06:25,240
 They're pretty darn good.

106
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,220
 Adam, where do you start breaking down this weekend's showdown?

107
00:06:29,220 --> 00:06:32,580
 Yeah, I do think that Ty Simpson puts a little bit too much pressure on himself, and it leads

108
00:06:32,580 --> 00:06:33,260
 to some pressing.

109
00:06:33,500 --> 00:06:39,540
 You know, I was watching the Bills-Dolphins game yesterday, and they had a good note about

110
00:06:39,540 --> 00:06:46,780
 Tua, and Tua was saying that he has to sometimes watch his highlights to remind himself that he

111
00:06:46,780 --> 00:06:52,440
 can be a really, really good NFL quarterback, and I think that that's something that maybe

112
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:59,020
 Kaitlin DeBoer and Ryan Grubb should do with Ty Simpson.

113
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,440
 Show them some of those early season highlights and just be like, look, this is you.

114
00:07:02,620 --> 00:07:06,960
 This is what we know you can be, and you just need to play the game the way that you were

115
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,340
 earlier in the season without...

116
00:07:09,340 --> 00:07:11,220
 Show them highlights of the Georgia game.

117
00:07:11,220 --> 00:07:17,100
 That was a really good performance against an elite team, and I think that that's a good

118
00:07:17,100 --> 00:07:22,200
 game to maybe look at as a game plan, because, yeah, Oklahoma has a really good defense, but

119
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:23,320
 they don't really...

120
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,460
 They've done more lately, but it was like the first half of the season they didn't force

121
00:07:26,460 --> 00:07:31,820
 the turnover, so as long as Simpson can play clean, which he has done all year, even when

122
00:07:31,820 --> 00:07:36,140
 he's not making plays, he's not really putting the ball in too much danger, so I think that

123
00:07:36,140 --> 00:07:40,860
 he'll do enough to win again, but he's just got to start playing some...

124
00:07:40,860 --> 00:07:44,700
 Looking like he's having fun out there a little bit more like he was earlier in the year.

125
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:52,540
 Tom, the marquee game, Adam, Texas and Georgia between the hedges, you've got Texas ranked

126
00:07:52,540 --> 00:07:55,960
 number five in your power ranking, Georgia number three.

127
00:07:56,460 --> 00:08:02,320
 I thought Georgia may have had their most complete game, ran for over 300 yards against the Mississippi

128
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:03,000
 State team.

129
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,920
 I wonder how much they've got left in the tank right now.

130
00:08:06,420 --> 00:08:08,260
 Still got Ole Miss at the end of the year.

131
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,520
 You know, everybody talking about the battle of the cornerbacks with Arch and Gunnar Stockton,

132
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,240
 who has really been playing well the last couple of weeks.

133
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,560
 Very interesting game with COPE implications.

134
00:08:21,300 --> 00:08:24,280
 Texas and Georgia Saturday night on ABC.

135
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:30,540
 Yeah, I mean, that's one of two games that involves these top five SEC teams that still have

136
00:08:30,540 --> 00:08:31,960
 a chance at Atlanta.

137
00:08:32,580 --> 00:08:35,640
 You know, Ole Miss doesn't play any of the other top five teams.

138
00:08:36,140 --> 00:08:36,540
 Alabama doesn't.

139
00:08:37,580 --> 00:08:41,660
 But, you know, Texas plays Georgia and then ends the season with Texas A&M.

140
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:46,240
 So those are the two really elimination games, kind of.

141
00:08:46,300 --> 00:08:52,060
 I mean, it might not matter because A&M and Alabama might just, you know, run the table.

142
00:08:52,540 --> 00:08:53,820
 But, you know, we'll see.

143
00:08:53,820 --> 00:08:55,560
 But, yeah, this is a good one.

144
00:08:55,780 --> 00:08:59,380
 And, you know, Georgia, I think, really made that statement by not struggling.

145
00:08:59,620 --> 00:09:04,260
 I think that that was probably something that Kirby Smart was aware of all week long, just

146
00:09:04,260 --> 00:09:05,620
 saying, you know, we've struggled.

147
00:09:05,860 --> 00:09:09,080
 But, like, everybody's saying that this is a trap game and we're looking ahead to Texas.

148
00:09:09,260 --> 00:09:10,760
 Let's go out and show them that we're not.

149
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:15,860
 And I think that that was probably a pretty darn good coaching job from a pretty darn good

150
00:09:15,860 --> 00:09:16,720
 coach this week.

151
00:09:17,860 --> 00:09:18,660
 Adam, you're right.

152
00:09:18,740 --> 00:09:23,260
 If Alabama and Texas A&M hold serve, we know it's going to be in the SEC championship game.

153
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:28,680
 But if Alabama stumbles, or for that matter, Texas A&M stumbles, boy, it would be interesting

154
00:09:28,680 --> 00:09:33,520
 if you've got one unbeaten team say Texas A&M wins out, but everybody else has one loss.

155
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:37,900
 Are you going to be the one who determines who plays Texas A&M in the championship game?

156
00:09:39,260 --> 00:09:42,800
 Yeah, I mean, that would be, you know, we'll have to go deep into the tiebreakers.

157
00:09:42,980 --> 00:09:44,520
 We have four one-loss teams, I guess.

158
00:09:44,620 --> 00:09:46,300
 So we'll see what happens there.

159
00:09:46,540 --> 00:09:51,460
 But, you know, I think even, you know, three one-loss teams might even make it even tougher

160
00:09:51,460 --> 00:09:56,160
 with, you know, some of the head-to-heads and, you know, lack of head-to-heads with some

161
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:56,820
 of these top teams.

162
00:09:56,820 --> 00:10:01,580
 So, you know, I don't envy whoever has to, you know, break down the numbers there if that's

163
00:10:01,580 --> 00:10:02,620
 what ends up happening.

164
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:07,080
 But, I mean, I do expect Alabama to probably win out here.

165
00:10:07,180 --> 00:10:10,380
 I mean, I think, you know, we were talking about the Oklahoma game, but I think it's going

166
00:10:10,380 --> 00:10:11,620
 to be another ugly win.

167
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,620
 But, you know, Alabama has shown that it can win ugly this year.

168
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,400
 Adam, can we take one name off of the coaching hot seat?

169
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,760
 And that would be Mr. Mark Stoops at Lexington.

170
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,000
 They just embarrassed Florida.

171
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:28,460
 38-7.

172
00:10:29,140 --> 00:10:32,700
 Now, they play Tennessee Tech, and everybody's thinking, well, what's the big deal?

173
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:33,380
 About that.

174
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,460
 Tennessee Tech's 10-0.

175
00:10:36,680 --> 00:10:39,540
 They're one of the best FCS teams in the country.

176
00:10:40,260 --> 00:10:43,360
 But, Adam, I'll give Mark Stoops a lot of credit.

177
00:10:43,620 --> 00:10:47,340
 I mean, he was dead man walking about three or four weeks ago.

178
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:49,000
 Kind of revitalized.

179
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,960
 Cutter Boley is beginning to come into his own.

180
00:10:53,380 --> 00:10:58,340
 And, quite frankly, unless something else happens, he may be back for 20-26.

181
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,060
 But, right now, they beat Tennessee Tech.

182
00:11:01,140 --> 00:11:03,120
 That'd be a three-game win-to-winning streak.

183
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,160
 Yeah, he deserves, Stoops deserves a lot of credit for that.

184
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:12,560
 I mean, he also deserves a bit of criticism for, you know, not starting Boley earlier in the year.

185
00:11:12,620 --> 00:11:14,060
 Like, what are we doing with Zach Calzada?

186
00:11:14,260 --> 00:11:15,000
 I mean, come on.

187
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:15,740
 Like, we know.

188
00:11:16,380 --> 00:11:18,880
 Nobody thought that that was going to work.

189
00:11:19,420 --> 00:11:19,820
 No.

190
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,500
 So, you know, I think that, yeah, Kentucky's playing really well.

191
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,020
 And you've got to, you know, they haven't quit on Mark Stoops.

192
00:11:26,180 --> 00:11:31,060
 You know, with Florida, you've got to wonder, like, can they fire the interim coach?

193
00:11:31,420 --> 00:11:31,660
 Exactly.

194
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:38,760
 Can we get an interim to the interim?

195
00:11:39,140 --> 00:11:41,600
 Like, what do we got to do there to see what they can do?

196
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,420
 So, yeah, I mean, credit to Kentucky, though, because they have not quit.

197
00:11:45,620 --> 00:11:47,160
 And that's, it's awesome to see.

198
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:52,720
 And, you know, yeah, like you said, I think Tennessee Tech's winning streak, they're 10-0 this year.

199
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,540
 And I think they're on a 15-game overall winning streak or something like that.

200
00:11:56,680 --> 00:11:59,520
 So, I mean, like, what a team that is.

201
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,520
 And, yeah, they, you know, everybody's going to say, oh, it's a cupcake.

202
00:12:02,780 --> 00:12:03,700
 No, far from it.

203
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:04,240
 No.

204
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,080
 Fortunately, Kentucky comes into this game with a lot of confidence.

205
00:12:09,260 --> 00:12:10,600
 Adam, talk to us about that.

206
00:12:10,660 --> 00:12:11,620
 You get that bump.

207
00:12:11,700 --> 00:12:13,340
 We saw it Saturday night with LSU.

208
00:12:13,420 --> 00:12:16,380
 They came out fired up, got off to a decent start.

209
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,940
 And then, of course, the cream seems to always rise to the top.

210
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:20,560
 But back to Auburn.

211
00:12:20,660 --> 00:12:22,720
 Obviously, they came out with a hair on fire.

212
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,620
 Who would have thought about a month ago that Auburn would have scored that many points

213
00:12:26,620 --> 00:12:30,180
 against a ranked team under Hugh Freeze?

214
00:12:30,380 --> 00:12:35,160
 Your thoughts about the balance of the season now that it's pretty much set in stone, the

215
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,940
 way things are going to be on the balance of the schedule for Auburn.

216
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:43,440
 Yeah, I mean, I think that it was, you know, that it was just like kind of a different story.

217
00:12:43,540 --> 00:12:47,440
 You know, earlier in the year, they were, you know, in these low-scoring games, just finding

218
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:48,340
 ways to lose.

219
00:12:48,380 --> 00:12:50,640
 But now they're in a high-scoring game and find a way to lose.

220
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,640
 So, I mean, yeah, credit to them for, you know, not rolling over like they did in that

221
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,060
 disaster against Kentucky that got Hugh Freeze fired.

222
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,440
 But, I mean, yeah, you know, you've still got to win some of these games.

223
00:13:00,540 --> 00:13:01,180
 So, I mean, we'll see.

224
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:06,640
 I think that, you know, DJ Durkin says all the right things, but I just don't know that

225
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,700
 Auburn fans would be happy if he was the full-time hire.

226
00:13:09,820 --> 00:13:12,400
 But, you know, we'll see how that coaching search plays out.

227
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:17,740
 And, you know, I just think that, you know, you can do a lot worse and you can be a dangerous

228
00:13:17,740 --> 00:13:22,540
 team for Alabama if you just, you know, stick to the plan that you showed of getting Vanderbilt

229
00:13:22,540 --> 00:13:26,340
 to throw the ball to the receivers, Cam Coleman and Eric Sigleton.

230
00:13:26,580 --> 00:13:28,420
 Just get those guys the ball and watch them work.

231
00:13:29,740 --> 00:13:35,940
 Adam, speaking of Auburn and their opponent, Vanderbilt, once again, Auburn comes out with

232
00:13:35,940 --> 00:13:42,140
 a hair on fire, gets hit 17-3, and then Pavia does Pavia things.

233
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:47,360
 They rallied to eventually win the game, 45-38.

234
00:13:47,560 --> 00:13:53,700
 He has a combined, I believe, 480 yards, whatever it was.

235
00:13:54,180 --> 00:13:56,240
 Just another remarkable performance.

236
00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:02,940
 Adam, again, when you look at the classic NFL profile of a quarterback, he's nowhere near it.

237
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,980
 But he just wills that team to win.

238
00:14:06,260 --> 00:14:07,460
 He is so tough.

239
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,720
 He's in the perfect offense.

240
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,800
 Bandy, again, with an outside chance, maybe, to make the playoffs.

241
00:14:14,020 --> 00:14:16,020
 But congratulations again.

242
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,060
 Pavia finished his career 3-0 against Auburn.

243
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:25,640
 And 4-0, or 5-0, again, I guess it was still just, you know, he didn't get a chance

244
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,880
 to make it, win against Hugh Freeze again.

245
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,680
 But, you know, he had a couple wins over Hugh Freeze.

246
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:31,080
 That's right.

247
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,680
 He went during his time at New Mexico State, too, and when Hugh Freeze was at Liberty.

248
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:42,160
 So, I'm sure he's bummed that Hugh Freeze wasn't able to stick around for one more loss to Vanderbilt.

249
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,360
 But, yeah, he'll have to settle for that.

250
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:50,080
 So, Adam, before we get away, Missouri, obviously, it was close.

251
00:14:50,260 --> 00:14:53,620
 But your thoughts now about the balance of the season for you, Tigers.

252
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,180
 And will Drinkwitz be the head coach of Missouri next season?

253
00:14:58,120 --> 00:14:59,120
 Oh, man, I don't know.

254
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:04,340
 I mean, I think if he's interested in one of these other jobs, we'll probably find out in the next couple of weeks.

255
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,600
 You know, I don't think, you know, if he's going to take the Florida job, which, I mean,

256
00:15:08,620 --> 00:15:13,960
 it seems like the one that has the most buzz about it, then I think we'll find out in the next couple of weeks.

257
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:20,380
 Because, yeah, now it's, you know, the losses, the three losses pretty much preclude Mizzou

258
00:15:20,380 --> 00:15:22,880
 from any sort of playoff consideration here.

259
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:29,960
 So, yeah, it's a bummer that the team wasn't able to take advantage of a relatively easy schedule by SEC standards.

260
00:15:30,660 --> 00:15:36,260
 But, I mean, when you have the quarterback injury luck that they had, it's just tough to overcome.

261
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:38,680
 Adam, great stuff.

262
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:43,860
 We always enjoy beginning Monday with you to recount the SEC weekend.

263
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,320
 But where can we get your good stuff?

264
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,540
 I know Joe Cox is on with us tomorrow.

265
00:15:48,860 --> 00:15:50,260
 You've got such a good team.

266
00:15:50,260 --> 00:15:52,040
 Where can we get on line to get everything?

267
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,580
 Yeah, SaturdayDownSouth.com.

268
00:15:54,660 --> 00:15:56,940
 We've got some new power rankings up today.

269
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:58,480
 We've got a newsletter coming out tomorrow.

270
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:00,140
 So, yeah, check it all out.

271
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:02,260
 Sounds great, Adam.

272
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,320
 Listen, man, stay as warm as you can.

273
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,120
 Off to a bitter start this week.

274
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,280
 So, stay warm, and thanks so much for your time today.

275
00:16:09,060 --> 00:16:10,020
 Yeah, thanks a lot, guys.

276
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:10,640
 Always enjoy it.

277
00:16:11,820 --> 00:16:12,380
 Same here.

278
00:16:12,460 --> 00:16:15,680
 Adam Smith, we're going to be there at Saturday Down South.

279
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:19,260
 Coming up, he's the vet when it comes to Sports Talk to Max next.

280
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:20,020
 Stay with us.

281
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:30,240
 It doesn't matter if you're running grills at the park, playing pickup on a Saturday, or sinking the final putt.

 Next level.

285
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:38,860
 And the stakes?

286
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:40,860
 Oh, those are crystal clear.

00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:45,280
 With only 95 calories and superior smooth taste, it's the ultimate trophy.

288
00:16:45,700 --> 00:16:47,280
 Superior is worth playing for.

 Making it to the game with a clean jersey.

295
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,080
 Why are simple things sometimes so complicated?

296
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,340
 Thankfully, with auto owners, insurance doesn't have to be one of them.

297
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,660
 Auto owners works with independent agents who answer when you call.

298
00:17:10,660 --> 00:17:12,700
 So you can worry about more important things.

299
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,840
 Like whether your kid is going to run toward first or third base.

300
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:17,700

 he knows keeping the line up and running is a top priority.

307
00:17:33,780 --> 00:17:35,420
 That's why he chooses Grainger.

308
00:17:35,420 --> 00:17:37,620
 Because when a drive belt gets damaged,

309
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,980
 Grainger makes it easy to find the exact specs for the replacement product he needs.

310
00:17:42,340 --> 00:17:46,800
 And next day delivery helps ensure he'll have everything in place and running like clockwork.

313
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:56,880

 This is Emmett Smith on behalf of Depend.

315

 And I've got the perfect plan.

316
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,360
 Run straight to your doctor's office for a life-changing catch.

317
00:18:03,660 --> 00:18:07,680
 Because when prostate cancer is caught early, it's up to 99% treatable.

318
00:18:07,900 --> 00:18:09,800
 And one blood test might be all it takes.

319
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:14,620
 And now through November, Depend is donating to the Prostate Cancer Foundation for select purchases.

320
00:18:15,100 --> 00:18:16,520
 Talk about a great play.

 From September 1st to November 30th, Depend is donating 25 cents to the Prostate Cancer Foundation

 He's got an entire room strictly for bobbleheads.

331
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:39,980
 Does he need them?

332
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:40,460
 No.

333
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:41,800
 Is his wife mad about it?

334
00:18:41,900 --> 00:18:42,580
 A little.

335
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,420
 But Tim works with Empower, and he got good at money.

336
00:18:45,700 --> 00:18:47,040
 So he can be a little bad.

337
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:48,840
 Ooh, horse bobblehead.

 Tonight, widespread overnight frost.

359

391
00:21:22,140 --> 00:21:23,760
 The score.

392
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:28,960
 Now, back with Boomo Bugg on 93.9 The Score.

393
00:21:29,460 --> 00:21:30,120
 Welcome back in.

394
00:21:30,180 --> 00:21:31,060
 The Max on deck.

395
00:21:31,140 --> 00:21:32,580
 Quickly, some breaking news.

396
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:33,680
 What a big win.

397
00:21:33,780 --> 00:21:39,300
 The Big Apple for Alabama basketball and cashing out moments ago, BB, in the latest AP poll.

398
00:21:39,780 --> 00:21:41,400
 Yeah, they're up to number eight.

399
00:21:41,500 --> 00:21:45,000
 And I tell you, Harold, I know a lot of people were watching college football.

400
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:50,460
 I went back and forth, but that was quite a performance by Nate Oates in Alabama.

401
00:21:50,460 --> 00:21:53,440
 They actually had two or three runs.

402
00:21:53,740 --> 00:21:56,360
 And once again, you knew Patino would come back.

403
00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:01,640
 But they jumped ahead where they actually had the double digits with a minute to play.

404
00:22:01,820 --> 00:22:03,960
 But my goodness, Alabama showed.

405
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:05,140
 But I'll tell you one thing.

406
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:09,140
 They're facing the number one team in the nation Thursday night.

407
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,280
 You can hear that game on 93.9.

408
00:22:11,360 --> 00:22:11,900
 The score.

409
00:22:12,420 --> 00:22:14,140
 Purdue is awfully good.

410
00:22:14,220 --> 00:22:16,380
 But what a win by Alabama and New York.

411
00:22:16,700 --> 00:22:20,060
 Yeah, in fact, just a moment ago, the poll came out.

412
00:22:20,060 --> 00:22:22,860
 Alabama knocking off number five, St. John's the time.

413
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,380
 Alabama eight, as you mentioned.

414
00:22:24,500 --> 00:22:26,880
 Actually, Purdue, how good is Houston?

415
00:22:26,980 --> 00:22:28,180
 They just leapfrog Purdue.

416
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:29,980
 So, Houston is now number one.

417
00:22:30,100 --> 00:22:33,380
 So, Alabama and number two, Purdue Thursday night.

418
00:22:33,460 --> 00:22:35,320
 Where else are you on 93.9 to score?

419
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,160
 He is always number one.

420
00:22:37,220 --> 00:22:37,960
 No, the polls.

421
00:22:38,100 --> 00:22:38,880
 He is the maxer.

422
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,560
 Max Howell, former assistant coach at Ole Miss and Florida State.

423
00:22:41,700 --> 00:22:45,260
 And knows all about a thing called sports talk in the Southeast.

424
00:22:45,580 --> 00:22:46,760
 Max Howell, welcome in.

425
00:22:46,820 --> 00:22:47,300
 How are you?

426
00:22:47,340 --> 00:22:50,560
 Well, it's a little chilly down here in Mississippi today.

427
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:52,720
 It was 25 when I got up.

428
00:22:52,940 --> 00:22:54,620
 And the high today is 37.

429
00:22:55,220 --> 00:22:57,880
 And it's reached that today already.

430
00:22:58,720 --> 00:22:59,020
 Yeah.

431
00:22:59,360 --> 00:23:00,140
 Max, hang on.

432
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:01,680
 It'll be 75 by Friday.

433
00:23:01,820 --> 00:23:02,760
 You live in Mississippi.

434
00:23:02,940 --> 00:23:03,720
 We live in Alabama.

435
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,780
 True story, I remember the year that the tornado came through Huntsville.

436
00:23:09,700 --> 00:23:11,940
 It was about 70, 80 degrees.

437
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:13,760
 And by that night, I had a friend.

438
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:14,980
 She worked over at CNN.

439
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,160
 She said, can I come and do a live shot there?

440
00:23:17,220 --> 00:23:20,600
 And I talked to the boss and said, okay, there's snow flurries.

441
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:24,040
 So, it went from in the 70s or so to snow flurries.

442
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:25,800
 So, it's the south, Max.

443
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:28,760
 Let's talk about this.

444
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:29,320
 Wouldn't we have it any other way?

445
00:23:29,980 --> 00:23:32,000
 Let's talk about this thing called college football.

446
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:36,940
 Max, anything surprise you over the weekend when it came to college football?

447
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:38,600
 Well, let's see.

448
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,420
 Auburn scored 38 and lost.

449
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,380
 Kentucky scored 38 and would.

450
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,980
 So, that was a surprise to start with.

451
00:23:46,360 --> 00:23:47,580
 Well, I'll tell you what I did.

452
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,140
 I took the three major openings.

453
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,500
 I did run back over to Oxford to visit a little bit.

454
00:23:52,620 --> 00:23:58,560
 I think he stopped shopping himself, and he's going to stay at Auburn.

455
00:23:58,900 --> 00:23:59,340
 Really?

456
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:02,240
 Rightly so.

457
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:03,380
 He's got a program.

458
00:24:03,700 --> 00:24:06,460
 He don't want to have to go somewhere else and re-educate the people

459
00:24:06,460 --> 00:24:08,340
 about how to run a football program.

460
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,620
 And how to fit in.

461
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,300
 Lane is a perfect fit for Oxford.

462
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:12,960
 I know that.

463
00:24:13,340 --> 00:24:13,920
 He is.

464
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,180
 And he's got it just like he likes it.

465
00:24:16,940 --> 00:24:21,140
 He's going to probably end up with somewhere between 11 and 13 million a year

466
00:24:21,140 --> 00:24:22,920
 for the next four years.

467
00:24:23,580 --> 00:24:26,260
 And he's got – he don't have to answer to the athletic director.

468
00:24:26,260 --> 00:24:28,100
 He's just got one guy he answers to.

469
00:24:28,380 --> 00:24:29,500
 He runs his program.

470
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:35,300
 And he had two doctors send the university $30 million last week

471
00:24:35,300 --> 00:24:36,740
 just to take care of Lane Kiffin.

472
00:24:37,300 --> 00:24:40,120
 So he's got it all going in the right direction.

473
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,760
 Now, let's talk about the other two, the jobs that are open.

474
00:24:44,860 --> 00:24:51,720
 You know, Auburn, I heard what John Cooley said.

475
00:24:51,860 --> 00:24:54,160
 John said, you know, basically he's the athletic director.

476
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:55,840
 He's going to hire the football coach.

477
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,360
 Well, you know, where's Bobby Loudon?

478
00:24:58,420 --> 00:24:59,020
 Will we need him?

479
00:24:59,180 --> 00:24:59,740
 I don't know.

480
00:24:59,740 --> 00:25:02,360
 You know, we hadn't gotten to that point yet.

481
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:03,400
 Or Pat Dye.

482
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,120
 Well, Pat Dye, you know, to tell him what to do.

483
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,060
 But did you go to Florida?

484
00:25:12,120 --> 00:25:14,000
 They don't know who's in charge down there.

485
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:18,580
 They've already told Scott Strickland he's not going to hire the football coach.

486
00:25:18,980 --> 00:25:20,140
 And so they're going to have a committee.

487
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,020
 Who wants to get into that thing?

488
00:25:22,100 --> 00:25:25,820
 The worst one, let's go to Matt Brugge and the governor is going to hire the coach.

489
00:25:26,740 --> 00:25:33,120
 I mean, it's almost a no-win situation for these guys because they don't know the lay of the land, what they got.

490
00:25:33,300 --> 00:25:38,700
 And I will say, I certainly watched LSU ballgame Saturday night.

491
00:25:38,900 --> 00:25:40,860
 I thought they played better, more enthusiasm.

492
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,380
 But he's an interim coach.

493
00:25:44,120 --> 00:25:48,100
 They have an interim athletic director and an interim president on top of that.

494
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:53,880
 So, I mean, it's really a mess in this part of the country with the job openings,

495
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,520
 in particular with Kiffin taking his name out of them, you know, out of the mix.

496
00:25:58,100 --> 00:25:59,440
 I don't know where they're going to go.

497
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:10,860
 And, of course, I know it looked like from Friday night that John's Auburn was going to probably end up being the Auburn coach.

498
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:12,160
 That was the word I was getting.

499
00:26:12,540 --> 00:26:16,200
 But I don't know where you watch that ballgame between Tulane and Vince or not.

500
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:21,060
 But John looked like he was distanced himself from the program.

501
00:26:21,180 --> 00:26:25,780
 If you notice, he never talked to one player, never talked to the team or the coaches.

502
00:26:25,900 --> 00:26:30,160
 He just walked up and down the sideline, goes into the fourth quarter 30 points up,

503
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,660
 and he almost loses the ballgame before it's over.

504
00:26:32,900 --> 00:26:36,440
 And he's supposed to be the defensive guy that can save a program somewhere.

505
00:26:36,820 --> 00:26:38,000
 And I know John well.

506
00:26:38,100 --> 00:26:39,600
 I mean, I knew him well when he was at Troy.

507
00:26:40,100 --> 00:26:42,660
 He had great success there.

508
00:26:43,060 --> 00:26:45,760
 And I'm sure he's a good football coach.

509
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:51,520
 But either he's distracted or Memphis is a lot better than we all thought.

510
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:52,040
 I don't know.

511
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,700
 I couldn't figure out exactly what the problem was.

512
00:26:55,980 --> 00:26:59,420
 But I don't know whether he's still the lead candidate going to Auburn or not.

513
00:26:59,900 --> 00:27:05,560
 So, I think that's my summation for what I'm looking at for the SEC right now.

514
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,080
 Two big games coming up this week.

515
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:08,180
 We know Texas and Oklahoma.

516
00:27:09,020 --> 00:27:11,100
 They're going to have to play and play well.

517
00:27:11,360 --> 00:27:17,980
 I had a huge argument this morning about if Alabama loses the SEC championship game

518
00:27:17,980 --> 00:27:29,400
 to probably Georgia or Texas A&M, then are they not qualified for basically for the playoff

519
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,540
 for three losses, even if it was in the championship game?

520
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:37,320
 And I did hear another national pundit this morning say,

521
00:27:37,740 --> 00:27:41,060
 hey, if you're in a conference and you're playing for the championship,

522
00:27:41,660 --> 00:27:43,700
 both teams are probably going to get the invitation.

523
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,720
 Well, that's just an opinion right there.

524
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,800
 Now, I think they're going to stick to two wins, two losses.

525
00:27:50,460 --> 00:27:55,180
 And no matter what the streak of schedule is, if a team has got three,

526
00:27:55,360 --> 00:27:57,680
 I think this first year, I think they're going to get left out.

527
00:27:57,860 --> 00:27:58,920
 I really do believe that.

528
00:28:00,100 --> 00:28:01,840
 Max, let me ask you about Alabama.

529
00:28:02,220 --> 00:28:06,100
 They controlled the game to LSU, the offense.

530
00:28:07,100 --> 00:28:12,500
 Again, Ty Simpson with some solid numbers, 21-35 for 277.

531
00:28:13,140 --> 00:28:14,700
 And a touchdown, but he missed.

532
00:28:14,700 --> 00:28:17,020
 But quite frankly, two deep passes.

533
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:21,940
 One of them was basically a layup to Jeremy Bernard, overthrew him,

534
00:28:22,020 --> 00:28:24,500
 either overthrew or underthrew.

535
00:28:26,060 --> 00:28:27,640
 That's a timing pattern.

536
00:28:28,380 --> 00:28:30,360
 But 56 yards rushing.

537
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:36,760
 This team, again, we knew was going to be pass heavy during the course of the year.

538
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:41,880
 And I know LSU's defense is a very good to solid defense.

539
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,820
 Banks, your thoughts, again, on Alabama not being able to run the ball,

540
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,660
 and Ty Simpson missing on some real opportunities.

541
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:54,420
 I think what's happened to them right now, they've realized that it's a c*** shoot

542
00:28:54,420 --> 00:28:57,960
 where they try to run the football based on what the expectations are.

543
00:28:58,420 --> 00:29:03,900
 And they know Simpson's had really good success by him running the ball if he gets caught in the pocket.

544
00:29:03,900 --> 00:29:06,520
 He didn't give up too many sacks.

545
00:29:07,020 --> 00:29:09,060
 So I think they've kind of relaxed to that point.

546
00:29:09,300 --> 00:29:12,600
 But you can't get – they're going to beat some teams in the playoff,

547
00:29:12,660 --> 00:29:17,560
 and you're not going to be able to play that game because they're going to be able to put a spy on you.

548
00:29:17,820 --> 00:29:18,320
 That's right.

549
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:19,380
 And they're going to put a quarterback in their pocket.

550
00:29:19,860 --> 00:29:23,040
 So I think they're going to definitely have to work on that.

551
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:29,960
 And, of course, none of us know, you know, other than the fact that Ty Simpson's an outstanding athlete,

552
00:29:30,500 --> 00:29:32,300
 and, you know, he's done very well this year.

553
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,840
 I mean, what, he's only thrown one pick or something like that.

554
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:35,360
 That's right.

555
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:39,640
 For the last 27 passes or 27, two or three touchdowns.

556
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,760
 So that's a big number, you know, particularly for this time of the year.

557
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:50,020
 So I don't know whether he can correct it right now, but I just – I think that they've got a system there.

558
00:29:50,100 --> 00:29:54,820
 They win it, win it, and they're going to just kind of hang on until they get to the – you know,

559
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:58,940
 get maybe to the SEC championship game that they have to do a few things.

560
00:29:58,940 --> 00:30:01,320
 But, you know, it depends on who they're going to play.

561
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,320
 They're probably going to play Georgia if that be the case.

562
00:30:04,500 --> 00:30:07,380
 And, of course, we've got Texas A&M in here in the Bigsville,

563
00:30:07,820 --> 00:30:11,420
 and I don't think we discard them right now from making it to Atlanta.

564
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:13,960
 So, but, you know, who is it?

565
00:30:14,180 --> 00:30:16,740
 Is it going to be Alabama or is it going to be Georgia?

566
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:22,160
 You know, to me, that looks like the only possibilities right now.

567
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:29,600
 And I was talking to some other guys earlier this morning where they actually think that if you're playing

568
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:34,700
 at the SEC championship game and you've got two losses, the loser will end up with three.

569
00:30:34,780 --> 00:30:36,180
 They may get a chance to go, too.

570
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:42,980
 You know, I've heard that argument all around, but if they use the street to schedule, without a doubt,

571
00:30:43,060 --> 00:30:44,060
 I think that would work.

572
00:30:44,580 --> 00:30:50,960
 But they've lip-serviced street to schedule guys for 15 years in those different committees they've had

573
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:52,320
 due to the different processes.

574
00:30:52,780 --> 00:30:53,840
 And rarely do they ever go.

575
00:30:53,920 --> 00:31:00,060
 They'll drop down and take, you know, take a power five or a power four or whatever some of those smaller schools are

576
00:31:00,060 --> 00:31:03,120
 just to distribute the wealth more than anything else.

577
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:07,880
 So, I think we've got, you know, a couple or three weeks coming up.

578
00:31:07,980 --> 00:31:08,860
 It's going to be really good.

579
00:31:08,860 --> 00:31:11,820
 I love the matchup we've got this weekend coming up.

580
00:31:12,100 --> 00:31:13,680
 I think it's going to be really outstanding.

581
00:31:14,580 --> 00:31:17,460
 Quickly, Max, who do you like in the Bama-Oklahoma game?

582
00:31:18,260 --> 00:31:24,660
 I think Alabama will win it, but I think the line is, what, at six, five or six or something like that.

583
00:31:24,660 --> 00:31:25,400
 It started there.

584
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:27,260
 It was 14 in the summer, went to seven.

585
00:31:27,340 --> 00:31:28,000
 It opened at seven.

586
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:29,240
 It's now six and a half, Bama.

587
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:30,240
 Right.

588
00:31:30,380 --> 00:31:32,420
 I thought it would come down.

589
00:31:32,940 --> 00:31:39,520
 And, you know, I think a lot to do is going to have to do with Oklahoma's quarterback situation.

590
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:46,660
 You know, I know if I was coaching defense, my hat would be on that hand every snap he took.

591
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:51,740
 I'd have somebody assigned to put my hat right on that hand so he couldn't throw it very well.

592
00:31:51,820 --> 00:31:52,980
 But he's a good runner.

593
00:31:53,420 --> 00:31:59,320
 But you spy him, you know, you take one of those linebackers, you just put him in his face, and that's the way you slow it down.

594
00:31:59,500 --> 00:32:00,500
 So, I don't know.

595
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:02,320
 I think it's going to be a really good football game.

596
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,060
 Alabama should win the football game.

597
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:05,420
 It's in Tuscaloosa.

598
00:32:05,780 --> 00:32:08,260
 So, I like that opportunity for them.

599
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,840
 Then you've got Texas going to Athens.

600
00:32:13,340 --> 00:32:15,120
 I think that will be an outstanding ball game.

601
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:16,260
 Texas just has not.

602
00:32:17,980 --> 00:32:21,560
 Georgia played a very vanilla ball game against Mississippi State this weekend.

603
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:26,200
 They did that on purpose because they didn't want to tape, you know, that next tape to go to Texas.

604
00:32:26,460 --> 00:32:27,180
 They didn't think that you.

605
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,680
 Look for some new recalls.

606
00:32:29,740 --> 00:32:33,200
 Kerber will have some new recalls, particularly on the defensive side for Texas.

607
00:32:33,860 --> 00:32:39,500
 And I look forward to come after Arch Bennett and Arch after Rudd for his life most of the afternoon.

608
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:45,800
 Max, is there any way in the world you could look at this Auburn-Vandy game?

609
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,280
 Auburn jumps out 17-3.

610
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,980
 And once again, I give Pavia and Vanderbilt credit.

611
00:32:53,180 --> 00:32:57,120
 They come back, get it into overtime, and then win it in overtime.

612
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:03,380
 But Ashton Daniels throws for 353 yards, 89 yards rushing.

613
00:33:03,700 --> 00:33:15,660
 And, of course, all of the Sunday postgame was, Hugh Freeze, what in the world were you thinking here, not being able to open up this offense, which I give Auburn credit for that.

614
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,820
 They certainly looked a lot better when Daniels at quarterback.

615
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,540
 But, Max, what an indictment on Hugh Freeze.

616
00:33:22,140 --> 00:33:27,580
 You turn around literally the next game, they score 38 points and gain 500 yards.

617
00:33:28,460 --> 00:33:28,700
 Yep.

618
00:33:29,020 --> 00:33:33,100
 Well, you know, I think there was some flaws in there when they hired him.

619
00:33:33,380 --> 00:33:38,260
 I don't know why I've said that on y'all's show or not, but I just questioned.

620
00:33:38,780 --> 00:33:40,760
 I've tracked his record since he left Ole Miss.

621
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,460
 I've tracked it while he was at Ole Miss.

622
00:33:43,860 --> 00:33:43,960
 Yep.

623
00:33:44,340 --> 00:33:54,300
 You know, the W-0's starting to line up over there with all kinds of, not only over the field problems he had with some players, but also he had some off the field problems in his own life.

624
00:33:54,760 --> 00:34:02,380
 So, if you go back and remember when he went to Liberty, I hate to say it, he didn't have a word player that was a quarterback that transferred to Auburn.

625
00:34:02,860 --> 00:34:04,700
 That's what worded the games up there.

626
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:05,920
 So, I don't know.

627
00:34:06,060 --> 00:34:11,720
 I think the depth, I think the depth of the SEC may be overwhelmed.

628
00:34:12,060 --> 00:34:19,640
 I don't, that's hard to say, but his one-loss record warranted in the eyes of the people that hired him at Auburn.

629
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,300
 They certainly expected more out of it than that.

630
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:26,780
 But then I look at this ballgame in light of what you just said, Brittany.

631
00:34:27,220 --> 00:34:36,160
 The fact is, is you remember that was a defensive, that was a defensive coordinator at Auburn calling, you know, calling the plays.

632
00:34:36,340 --> 00:34:36,940
 That's right.

633
00:34:37,060 --> 00:34:40,320
 You know, he pulled something out of the hat to get that done.

634
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:41,340
 But you know what?

635
00:34:41,580 --> 00:34:42,600
 They didn't win the ballgame.

636
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:52,240
 You know, it's just another thing that I heard Coach Freese say in one of his press conferences that Auburn, it appears,

637
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,460
 they've got to learn how to win more than they can.

638
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,620
 And I don't disagree with that at all.

639
00:34:59,060 --> 00:35:08,460
 But sometimes, you know, they make some mistakes internally with their problem over there that I think they have to practice on it every day.

640
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:13,380
 I don't know what to do with it, but they've got the role of guys making the decisions that they had.

641
00:35:13,380 --> 00:35:17,100
 And I thought they could have corrected that with Coach Saban step down.

642
00:35:17,100 --> 00:35:26,200
 They had a great chance to, you know, elevate their win-loss record at Bethany, by hiring somebody.

643
00:35:26,300 --> 00:35:27,100
 But they had done that.

644
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:27,580
 I don't know.

645
00:35:27,780 --> 00:35:30,360
 I don't have a clue who they're going to get down, to be honest with you.

646
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:39,560
 That's what I was going to ask you, Matt, because I won't put you on the spot with that, because back to what Lane and what you're hearing about Lane, that affects everything else.

647
00:35:39,660 --> 00:35:43,000
 Because let's face it, this kind of ends up being a domino effect.

648
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,300
 This guy does this, this affects this, this affects this, and so forth.

649
00:35:47,580 --> 00:35:52,680
 In a perfect world, who, because let's face it, Auburn is a rare-sized shoe.

650
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:57,180
 You've got to have the perfect foot to go in there and win in that environment.

651
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:08,460
 If you were sitting here and took out the old Sears robot catalog for Christmas and said, ah, this is the guy, and especially back to your comments there about Summer Hall, I mean, you can't be distracted.

652
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:10,360
 You've got to have laser beam focus.

653
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,780
 I don't care if you let your agents deal with all the other stuff.

654
00:36:13,780 --> 00:36:19,520
 You talk chalk, but in a perfect world, two things on that, where does Arma go from here?

655
00:36:19,820 --> 00:36:20,740
 Actually, three things.

656
00:36:20,820 --> 00:36:22,340
 Where does LSU go from here?

657
00:36:22,420 --> 00:36:27,000
 And we're just looking at three of the premier programs, and right now, they're nothing but a cluster.

658
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:27,680
 You know what?

659
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:29,020
 That is true.

660
00:36:29,380 --> 00:36:36,220
 Well, you know, you start with the Auburn situation, and I think it's all three that have almost the same identity.

661
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:46,540
 It's not that guy that sits in the FA director's job that his job description describes what he should do in hiring a football coach.

662
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:51,180
 I think it's the outside forces in each one of those universities that have a say-so.

663
00:36:51,700 --> 00:36:59,460
 And I think what's so weird about it, guys, is other than FSU with the governor involved, nobody knows who's making the call.

664
00:36:59,980 --> 00:37:03,980
 I mean, it doesn't matter what John Cohen says.

665
00:37:04,240 --> 00:37:09,700
 Guys, we've looked at, I promise you, you remember John was raised in Tuscaloosa.

666
00:37:09,860 --> 00:37:11,580
 John's dad was a professor at Alabama.

667
00:37:12,220 --> 00:37:19,660
 So, I mean, he got a scholarship to Mississippi State, did well, was a player, did well in baseball, did okay at Mississippi State.

668
00:37:19,660 --> 00:37:26,300
 And he gets the Auburn job, but I guarantee you, the internal work at Auburn is different than it was at Mississippi State.

669
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:27,900
 I guarantee you.

670
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:35,840
 And I wouldn't be surprised if he's sitting at his desk, somebody sticks their head in the door and makes some statement that John don't even know who he is,

671
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,320
 and that's the guy that writes one of the biggest checks that he's going to check.

672
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:38,640
 Oh, yeah.

673
00:37:39,420 --> 00:37:42,140
 And they just don't know, is my point is.

674
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:47,060
 So, answer your question, I'd go, you know, I'd make that last shot.

675
00:37:47,060 --> 00:37:57,200
 I don't think Lee's giving from everything I've heard over the weekend, he hasn't actually signed the contract, but he's on his desk with all the bells and whistles and all the money he wants to make.

676
00:37:57,740 --> 00:38:03,580
 And, of course, you know, in Mississippi, his contract can only be four years because the state law says, you know,

677
00:38:03,660 --> 00:38:06,720
 no employee of the state can have a contract longer than the governor.

678
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:11,400
 So, but they didn't tell the Louisiana people that.

679
00:38:12,060 --> 00:38:16,880
 So, anyway, you know, Kiffin is the hottest thing out there.

680
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:21,180
 If he's taken out of the, you know, out of the equation, I don't know where they go.

681
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:22,880
 I'll just be honest with you.

682
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:29,980
 You know, the other big names are out there, but those other guys were fired for a reason.

683
00:38:30,660 --> 00:38:40,360
 You know, to me, if Auburn's got to kind of step back and take maybe a second tier, go find a coordinator somewhere on a very successful program.

684
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:49,760
 And, see if you can encourage him to come and give him, you know, a three-year contract with a possibility of going to five, but has to be evaluated every year.

685
00:38:50,180 --> 00:38:59,760
 Don't get stuck with some big payoff and payout that you've got to do like they have the last three or four coaches that Auburn's made mistakes on.

686
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:11,660
 So, you know, that decision can be made, but I don't know right now that the people at Auburn that make those decisions are able to make that kind of decision.

687
00:39:11,780 --> 00:39:14,840
 Maybe that's why John Cohen stepped up and said, hey, I'm going to make the decision.

688
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,760
 Because there was so much confusion going on inside.

689
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:19,840
 That was the only way I could read that.

690
00:39:20,500 --> 00:39:23,360
 So, you know, we've got a season to finish up.

691
00:39:23,980 --> 00:39:28,000
 And I guess by Christmas we'll all know where the coaches will be.

692
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:31,140
 Max, you're right about that.

693
00:39:31,140 --> 00:39:37,080
 I do keep hearing Drink With in play for the Florida job.

694
00:39:37,260 --> 00:39:37,640
 We'll see.

695
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:44,520
 Max, has anybody done a better job in the last two weeks of saving his job than Mark Stoops at Kentucky?

696
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,360
 He beats Auburn and gets Hugh Freeze fired.

697
00:39:47,980 --> 00:39:53,340
 They embarrass Florida, and we know that obviously it's not a very good team right now.

698
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:55,120
 They play Tennessee Tech.

699
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:56,780
 People laughing about that, Max.

700
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:58,320
 Tennessee Tech's 10-0.

701
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,040
 They won 15 consecutive games.

702
00:40:01,240 --> 00:40:04,040
 Then they've got Vandy in Louisville.

703
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:08,540
 But, Max, has Mark Stoops saved his job this week?

704
00:40:09,300 --> 00:40:11,460
 Yes, see, he could very well have.

705
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:12,500
 He could very well have.

706
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:17,080
 I think if Mark Stoops want to retire, I mean, I think that's what he'll push him.

707
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:18,760
 I don't think it's going to be his with-loss record.

708
00:40:19,180 --> 00:40:19,720
 I really don't.

709
00:40:19,720 --> 00:40:25,200
 He's been there so long, and he's really tied to the Kroger group.

710
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:32,240
 If you go, you know, if you ride around that campus, there's not many things that have Kroger written on it, and I'm sure you know.

711
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,280
 You know, he makes about $11 billion a year now.

712
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:38,240
 So, he's right at the top, you know, as far as coaches being paid.

713
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:39,960
 I think it'll be his decision.

714
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:43,680
 And then, you know, what, what, 60 maybe?

715
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:48,020
 He'd probably get ready to set it aside anyway.

716
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:56,760
 So, I think the rumor early on for this early part of the season was just that, that, you know, they were going to definitely make a change.

717
00:40:57,240 --> 00:41:03,400
 I think it's going to be up to him to do it, though, particularly if he can win one or two of these games at the end.

718
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:07,980
 You know, I think his record will justify him staying there.

719
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:13,980
 He's had his worst record today, I think, in other years that nobody ever thought about firing him.

720
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,420
 So, I think this will be the same thing.

721
00:41:17,260 --> 00:41:17,660
 Absolutely.

722
00:41:18,020 --> 00:41:20,560
 Max, we appreciate you staying on with us a little longer.

723
00:41:20,940 --> 00:41:28,380
 Our 2035 guests had council at the last minute, but I can't think of a better way to begin Monday than talking to you.

724
00:41:28,380 --> 00:41:31,700
 We appreciate the coaching updates.

725
00:41:32,340 --> 00:41:36,320
 Boy, that is going to be hot and heavy even more in the next couple weeks.

726
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:37,780
 But have a great week.

727
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:40,100
 It was snowing in most of the shows earlier, Max.

728
00:41:40,340 --> 00:41:44,540
 And as Harold said, it'll be 70 degrees here by Friday.

729
00:41:44,720 --> 00:41:46,460
 Listen, have a great day and a great week.

730
00:41:46,580 --> 00:41:48,000
 Let's do this again next Monday.

731
00:41:48,460 --> 00:41:50,000
 I'll be glad to be with you guys.

732
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:50,760
 Thank you so much.

733
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:51,620
 Y'all have a good week.

734
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:53,380
 Hey, Max, you do the same.

735
00:41:53,460 --> 00:41:53,900
 There you have it.

736
00:41:53,900 --> 00:41:56,160
 The one, the only, Max Al.

737
00:41:56,300 --> 00:42:00,300
 Coming up, bad news for a former Alabama assistant.

738
00:42:00,940 --> 00:42:01,720
 Details on deck.

739
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:02,300

 Some people just know you can save money on car insurance by checking Allstate first.

779
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:14,940
 Like you know to check the weather first.

780
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:17,220
 Before wearing face paint to the game.

781
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:19,960
 Bro, your gold cats is dripping into your nachos.

782
00:44:20,060 --> 00:44:21,640
 Oh, and now paint is in my eyes.

783
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:22,920
 Interception!

784
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:23,860
 Did you see that?

785
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:24,800
 No!

786
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:26,820
 Yeah, checking first is smart.

787
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:29,260
 So check Allstate first and see what you can save.

788
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:30,620

00:45:13,580 --> 00:45:16,520
 Like losing the house or not affording college.

806
00:45:16,720 --> 00:45:18,560
 Yeah, that used to keep me up at night too.

807
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:21,000
 It's why I finally got life insurance from Ethos.

818
00:45:43,300 --> 00:45:47,620
 Tyler Algier scored with less than two minutes remaining to give the Falcons the lead,

819
00:45:47,620 --> 00:45:52,100
 but the Indianapolis Colts drove down, kicking a field goal to force overtime.

820
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:57,560
 And it was Jonathan Taylor who ran into the end zone for the Colts in overtime in Berlin

821

 Welcome back again.

847
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:38,320
 Tis the season for coaches to be shown the door.

848
00:47:38,460 --> 00:47:40,500
 Remember Brian Dable, BB?

849
00:47:40,500 --> 00:47:41,360
 Yes, I do.

850
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:46,440
 He's a former assistant with a guy named Nick Saban in Alabama, offensive coordinator there,

851
00:47:46,500 --> 00:47:49,540
 one of the NFL, Buffalo, developed Josh Allen.

852
00:47:49,700 --> 00:47:51,440
 New York Giants says he's our man.

853
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:54,940
 They bring him down to be the top giant in New York.

854
00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:58,620
 And moments ago, he was shown the door, the pink slip.

855
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:00,400
 My, oh, my, how things have changed.

856
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:04,420
 He was the 2022 NFL Coach of the Year.

857
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:06,900
 In the world of sports, it ain't what you've done.

858
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:08,020
 It's what you've done lately, BB.

859
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:14,900
 Harold, he went 9-7 in 2022 and seemed to be one of the hottest young coaches in the game.

860
00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:18,980
 And since then, he's gone 20, 40, and 1.

861
00:48:19,140 --> 00:48:20,780
 Yes, there was a tie.

862
00:48:21,660 --> 00:48:28,740
 The Giants currently this year are 2-8, 0-4 on the road when leading by 10 or more points.

863
00:48:28,820 --> 00:48:31,440
 And the Giants just finally lost patience with him.

864
00:48:31,500 --> 00:48:36,660
 Yeah, they just came up short in the fourth quarter yesterday in a kind of flurry, if you will,

865
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:38,900
 Flurryville there in Chicago against the Bears.

866
00:48:39,140 --> 00:48:42,320
 So, Ryan Dable out as the top giant there in New York.

867
00:48:42,820 --> 00:48:44,180
 BB, it's the Monday after.

868
00:48:44,940 --> 00:48:45,920
 Your thoughts?

869
00:48:46,300 --> 00:48:49,360
 I mean, you've got to feel for a guy like Ty Stempsson.

870
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:51,540
 To me, he's a very sensitive guy.

871
00:48:51,660 --> 00:48:53,840
 If I'm a coach, that's a good thing.

872
00:48:53,900 --> 00:48:58,120
 It's a bad thing because in this day and time, we see so many of these kids feeling privileged.

873
00:48:58,220 --> 00:48:59,420
 If I have a good game, okay.

874
00:48:59,580 --> 00:49:01,040
 If I have a bad game, that's okay.

875
00:49:01,500 --> 00:49:02,500
 I still get paid.

876
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:04,820
 I think Ty Stempsson's out of the old school.

877
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:08,300
 He wants to go out regardless of what he's being paid with NIL money.

878
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:10,220
 He sets the bar high.

879
00:49:10,900 --> 00:49:15,940
 And right now, we don't know the kid, but it appears that he is really pressing

880
00:49:15,940 --> 00:49:20,280
 because Alabama just cannot give him any help with a running game.

881
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:22,800
 Well, I think there are two issues there.

882
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:28,720
 And I've listened to this Saturday night after the game from quite a few people.

883
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:33,400
 Alabama has solid running backs.

884
00:49:33,540 --> 00:49:35,640
 They don't have elite running backs.

885
00:49:35,860 --> 00:49:39,000
 Jim Miller is a better receiver than he is a runner.

886
00:49:39,140 --> 00:49:46,560
 And several people told me after the game, and again, I'm not trying to criticize the young man.

887
00:49:46,660 --> 00:49:52,600
 He doesn't have the elite vision to find the holes that a lot of running backs do.

888
00:49:52,600 --> 00:50:00,360
 Now, Alabama is bringing one in with Crowell next year from Jackson.

889
00:50:01,100 --> 00:50:06,020
 And then you've still got Deer, who is not playing for the simple reason.

890
00:50:06,140 --> 00:50:09,620
 He's not picking up the blitz in practice.

891
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:12,060
 And he's still learning the game.

892
00:50:13,180 --> 00:50:17,720
 Daniel Hill is a good bank between tackles, and I think he will get better.

893
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:21,660
 The offensive line, he's got some deficiencies, too.

894
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:22,940
 We've talked about that.

895
00:50:23,100 --> 00:50:25,860
 But once again, Adam Spencer mentioned it.

896
00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:40,160
 When Alabama gets in the postseason, and they will, they can be facing a lot of teams that if you can make a team one-dimensional and Ty Simpson get pressure on him, Alabama's got to be able to run.

897
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:44,720
 I don't expect this team, Harold, to run for 150 yards.

898
00:50:44,860 --> 00:50:46,980
 Their offense is not set up to do that.

899
00:50:47,300 --> 00:50:51,160
 But if they could run for 120, it would help Ty Simpson immensely.

900
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:52,980
 Well, here's the bottom line.

901
00:50:53,140 --> 00:50:54,080
 I mean, B.B., let's face it.

902
00:50:54,140 --> 00:50:57,100
 You're coming up with just a handful of games to go.

903
00:50:58,180 --> 00:50:59,540
 Life is all about this.

904
00:50:59,580 --> 00:51:06,760
 If this door is closed, is it too much to ask, how am I going to sit here and either open this door or go to another door?

905
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:11,000
 Because if I keep knocking the same way, I'm going to rub the skin off my knuckles.

906
00:51:11,220 --> 00:51:15,920
 What I'm trying to say is, if you know that, and the coach has got to know it better than we do.

907
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:17,260
 They're there every day.

908
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:20,500
 So what I'm trying to get at is, what's the B plan?

909
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:31,440
 Obviously, running off tackle and getting one or two yards and putting Ty Simpson in second and long situations because the opposing defense is just going to fold their ears and put pressure on him.

910
00:51:32,420 --> 00:51:37,640
 Again, back to the original point, if this is not working, what do you do here realistically?

911
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:39,040
 Can you do just sweeps?

912
00:51:39,260 --> 00:51:43,680
 I mean, sure to the goodness, there's more than one page in the playbook when it comes to that part of the game.

913
00:51:44,240 --> 00:51:46,220
 Well, and they've utilized screen passes.

914
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:52,460
 One of the things as far as running the ball is getting hit with more of a tight end.

915
00:51:52,540 --> 00:52:01,420
 What was really frustrating to fans was, on one of the early drives, Alabama had third and one, got stuffed.

916
00:52:01,720 --> 00:52:01,820
 Yeah.

917
00:52:01,980 --> 00:52:05,040
 In fact, I think Ty Simpson had a quarterback sneak.

918
00:52:05,240 --> 00:52:08,280
 Then they went for it on fourth and one and got stuffed again.

919
00:52:08,460 --> 00:52:08,900
 A yard.

920
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:16,300
 If you can't make a frigging yard, as I heard Saturday night, you've got an issue there.

921
00:52:16,300 --> 00:52:23,980
 Now, they've got what they call extended handoffs with passes behind the line of scrimmage, screens.

922
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:27,700
 But, Harold, they need to do, to me, more stretch runs to the outside.

923
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:30,820
 They seem to have more success with that.

924
00:52:31,240 --> 00:52:39,380
 Danny Lewis, who did not play again Saturday night or played Barry DeLewis, seems to really help them in the blocking scheme.

925
00:52:39,900 --> 00:52:47,040
 Josh Cuavers, who I think is one of the most underrated players on the entire team, who had a tremendous catch and run.

926
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:52,760
 That may have been Ty Simpson's best pass to the game when he hit him on the sidelines.

927
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:56,820
 But, again, Ryan Grubb is going to have to scheme for this.

928
00:52:56,980 --> 00:53:01,320
 But, there's no question that Alabama's got to improve the run game to some degree.

929
00:53:01,780 --> 00:53:03,140
 More on the tide.

930
00:53:03,300 --> 00:53:07,560
 Also, the Auburn Tigers, the rest of the SEC, and UNA straight ahead.

931
00:53:07,700 --> 00:53:10,080
 Along, we're checking in with the man who's been there and done that.

932
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:13,480
 Who knows the answer better than the man who's been in the trenches at Bama.

933
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:17,680
 William Redfish and Bards are going to be on board for the next hour, along with the V-Man from Tennessee.

934
00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:19,820
 Got that more straight ahead of the Bumult Buck Show.

 Hey, I'm Mike Slater.

978
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:31,820
 My dad passed away at the age of 63.

979
00:55:31,980 --> 00:55:32,540
 He's out of nowhere.

980
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:33,300
 Had a stroke.

981
00:55:33,500 --> 00:55:35,500
 Super hard, obviously, for the whole family.

982
00:55:35,580 --> 00:55:37,520
 But my dad had life insurance.

983
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:41,800

 Oh, okay.

995
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:08,840
 So, like, everybody deals with losing, right?

996
00:56:08,900 --> 00:56:10,760
 To a rival on a last-second field goal.

997
00:56:11,020 --> 00:56:11,280
 Whatever.

998
00:56:11,420 --> 00:56:11,680
 It's fine.

999
00:56:11,720 --> 00:56:12,320
 I'm totally fine.

1000
00:56:12,500 --> 00:56:16,120
 But I cope with losing with an ice-cold Dr. Pepper.

1001
00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:20,740
 Mmm, those 23 flavors are, like, so delicious.

1002
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:25,400
 They totally wash away the pain of your college football team taking a big, fat L.

1003
00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:27,400
 College football.

1004
00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:28,480
 It's a pepper thing.

1005
00:56:29,120 --> 00:56:29,600
 Okay.

1006
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:30,760
 All signed up.

1007
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:31,240
 Easy.

1008
00:56:31,660 --> 00:56:33,100
 Now let's run payroll.

1009
00:56:33,900 --> 00:56:34,500
 What the?

1010
00:56:35,060 --> 00:56:35,560

 New social media manager.

 1819 News.

1023
00:57:02,120 --> 00:57:06,520
 U.S. Senator Katie Britt is expressing hope that the U.S. Senate is well on its way to ending

1024
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:07,440
 the government shutdown.

1025
00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:12,000
 Britt did take part in a late-night voting session on Sunday night in the Senate, where

1026
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:17,260
 eight Senate Democrats joined the Republicans in passing a continuing resolution which approves

1027
00:57:17,260 --> 00:57:20,820
 current government spending levels so as to keep the government operating.

1028
00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:25,440
 The CR must now go back to the U.S. House for a vote there, then on to the president's desk

1029
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:28,400
 for approval before the government will be officially reopened.

1030
00:57:28,700 --> 00:57:32,180
 The approved deal only goes until January 30th of 2026.

1031
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:37,420
 That is the next deadline for Congress to work and pass the nine out of 12 remaining spending

1032
00:57:37,420 --> 00:57:37,780
 bills.

1033
00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:41,700
 Britt says that she's working to get this latest CR over the finish line.

1034
00:57:41,700 --> 00:57:45,980
 However, Democrat Congresswoman Terry Sewell from Alabama, who is over in the U.S. House,

1035
00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:50,580
 is vowing to vote against the CR when it gets there because she says there's no deal reached

1036
00:57:50,580 --> 00:57:53,220
 in the Senate to continue subsidies for Obamacare.

1037
00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:55,700
 I'll be back with more Alabama stories after this.

00:58:25,180 --> 00:58:28,340
 A woman was arrested in Huntsville for putting her child in a dumpster.

1047
00:58:28,620 --> 00:58:31,040
 Shanae Spencer is facing multiple child abuse charges.

1048
00:58:31,180 --> 00:58:35,440
 The father of the child saw the events unfold and retrieved the child from that dumpster.

1049
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:37,640
 Spencer is currently in the Madison County Jail.

1050
00:58:38,220 --> 00:58:40,840
 An inmate was found dead inside the Jefferson County Jail.

1051
00:58:40,940 --> 00:58:45,620
 24-year-old DeColeman Harris was located on Sunday morning inside a two-person cell.

1052
00:58:45,620 --> 00:58:48,180
 An autopsy is underway to determine cause of death.

 Hey, Scholes.

1057
00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:05,000
 I know you do anything for a win on game day and for an ice cold Bud Light.

1058
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:08,760
 Because whether you're tailgating in the parking lot or parked on the couch,

1059
00:59:08,980 --> 00:59:13,220
 sitting on your lucky stool at the bar, or standing in the fan section all game long,

1060
00:59:13,220 --> 00:59:16,820
 a win isn't a win without the clean, crisp taste of Bud Light.

1061
00:59:17,060 --> 00:59:19,340
 And there's nothing easier to enjoy than that.

1062
00:59:19,860 --> 00:59:20,400
 Bud Light.

1063
00:59:20,860 --> 00:59:21,660
 Easy to drink.

1064
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:22,900
 Easy to enjoy.

1065
00:59:23,540 --> 00:59:24,240

 Because he listens in Florence.

 Our show's, Charlie, our show's on down there.

1084
01:00:15,260 --> 01:00:17,240
 But there's no way you drove an hour.

1085
01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:20,220
 I know it's a little further than an hour to see Alabama basketball.

1086
01:00:20,500 --> 01:00:21,040
 There's no way.

1087
01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:24,480

 High around 40.

1096
01:00:37,180 --> 01:00:39,360
 Tonight, widespread overnight frost.

1097
01:00:39,500 --> 01:00:40,260
 Low near 25.

1098
01:00:40,660 --> 01:00:41,780
 Tomorrow, sunny.

1099
01:00:41,940 --> 01:00:42,880

 Welcome back to the Boomo Bugg Show.

1112
01:01:25,260 --> 01:01:26,880
 I'm Harold Bugg, alongside Brett Beaird.

1113
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:29,820
 Thank you so much for giving us free ride around the Tennessee Valley.

1114
01:01:29,940 --> 01:01:32,700
 BB, obviously a huge weekend coming off of it.

1115
01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:33,540
 It's hard to believe.

1116
01:01:33,980 --> 01:01:34,880
 We're going to be talking to you.

1117
01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:37,460
 We're getting down to the nitty-gritty with the regular season.

1118
01:01:37,460 --> 01:01:40,560
 We're going to be talking more about our friends and the SEC.

1119
01:01:41,260 --> 01:01:42,540
 But first, I'll tell you what.

1120
01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:49,440
 If they gave out an award for Heartbreak City, to me, the clear-cut winner would be the UNA Lions this season, BB.

1121
01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:50,660
 Yeah, yeah.

1122
01:01:50,760 --> 01:01:55,260
 Harold, unfortunately, the Hee Haw theme song comes into play here again.

1123
01:01:55,360 --> 01:01:58,020
 If it wasn't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all.

1124
01:01:58,640 --> 01:02:02,040
 UNA loses to West Georgia 24-17.

1125
01:02:02,340 --> 01:02:04,120
 It was kind of a tell to two halves.

1126
01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:06,620
 UNA played well in the first half.

1127
01:02:06,620 --> 01:02:12,520
 One of the reasons for that is Destin Wade played very well for the time that he was in.

1128
01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:16,680
 5-7, 137, added 31 yards rushing.

1129
01:02:16,820 --> 01:02:20,320
 But he got hurt late in the second quarter.

1130
01:02:20,760 --> 01:02:26,600
 True freshman John Austin Wood came in and went 4 of 11 passing.

1131
01:02:26,740 --> 01:02:29,340
 Obviously, not a lot of experience there.

1132
01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:33,860
 Fletcher called a 75-yard touchdown pass for UNA.

1133
01:02:34,600 --> 01:02:36,080
 The defense played well.

1134
01:02:36,260 --> 01:02:41,760
 Tango McCauley, h***, is that again a name for a defensive player?

1135
01:02:42,320 --> 01:02:46,820
 Southampton, Marcus Robinson combined for 25 tackles.

1136
01:02:46,820 --> 01:02:50,200
 In fact, Tango had a career-high 10.

1137
01:02:50,760 --> 01:02:51,780
 UNA played well.

1138
01:02:51,980 --> 01:02:55,000
 Ian Bashan had a 43-yard field goal.

1139
01:02:55,300 --> 01:03:01,400
 And Adam Wartford, the punter, punted nine times for 49 yards.

1140
01:03:01,520 --> 01:03:03,540
 Any college coach would like that.

1141
01:03:04,200 --> 01:03:05,760
 UNA kept the penalties down.

1142
01:03:05,880 --> 01:03:10,240
 But unfortunately, Harold, West Georgia made more plays in the second half.

1143
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:16,980
 The Lions hit the road again to play number six, Tarlington State, on Saturday.

1144
01:03:17,480 --> 01:03:19,960
 But again, UNA is improving.

1145
01:03:20,760 --> 01:03:24,900
 And if Destin Wade would have played the entire game, I think they would have won the game.

1146
01:03:24,960 --> 01:03:26,940
 But he got hurt late in the second quarter.

1147
01:03:27,620 --> 01:03:31,480
 The UNA offense struggled in the second half.

1148
01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:34,580
 And West Georgia now seven and three on the season.

1149
01:03:34,820 --> 01:03:38,660
 The thing is, UNA, and I know, obviously, we have Coach Jeremy on all the time.

1150
01:03:38,700 --> 01:03:39,960
 He's not going to make any excuses.

1151
01:03:40,260 --> 01:03:42,380
 So you take the cards you're dealt and deal with them.

1152
01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:43,980
 But here's what's interesting about it, B.B.

1153
01:03:45,660 --> 01:03:52,340
 Earlier this year, the opponent in Alabama is going to be facing this weekend is Oklahoma.

1154
01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:55,580
 Oklahoma kicked off a season against Illinois State.

1155
01:03:56,060 --> 01:03:59,760
 Illinois State played UNA about two or three weeks after that game.

1156
01:04:00,340 --> 01:04:03,880
 Oklahoma scored 35 points on Illinois State.

1157
01:04:04,560 --> 01:04:06,120
 UNA scored 36 points.

1158
01:04:06,180 --> 01:04:06,900
 They lost.

1159
01:04:07,380 --> 01:04:12,380
 But UNA scored more points against a common opponent than did Oklahoma.

1160
01:04:12,520 --> 01:04:13,380
 Now, what does that mean?

1161
01:04:13,480 --> 01:04:15,040
 You can read into that what you want.

1162
01:04:15,420 --> 01:04:19,600
 But what it does, it illustrates just how tough this schedule has been for UNA.

1163
01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:22,720
 Now, you combine that with injuries, and it has been, as we said,

1164
01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:24,740
 heartbreak city for this team this season.

1165
01:04:25,180 --> 01:04:32,280
 Well, and, Harold, three or four narrow losses, losing in overtime a couple weeks ago.

1166
01:04:32,620 --> 01:04:34,160
 And, again, it was there.

1167
01:04:34,320 --> 01:04:36,720
 But it just – it's very unfortunate.

1168
01:04:39,320 --> 01:04:43,200
 UNA's record right now, Harold, instead of two and eight, one and five,

1169
01:04:43,580 --> 01:04:45,480
 they win two or three of those games.

1170
01:04:45,560 --> 01:04:46,600
 It looks a lot better.

1171
01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:48,400
 Yeah, and something to build on, too.

1172
01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:49,080
 So we'll see.

1173
01:04:49,600 --> 01:04:54,360
 Mimi, we want to talk more about – speaking of Oklahoma, that, and Alabama in a second.

1174
01:04:54,420 --> 01:04:55,600
 But your thoughts about Auburn.

1175
01:04:55,740 --> 01:04:58,060
 Did DJ Durkin change hats?

1176
01:04:58,120 --> 01:05:01,860
 Did he go from the defensive coordinator to the offensive coordinator?

1177
01:05:01,940 --> 01:05:07,480
 And if he did, you're talking about a very interesting game and scenario for Durkin.

1178
01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:14,820
 Obviously, you would think coming into that game that the defense would be able to check Vanderbilt.

1179
01:05:14,820 --> 01:05:19,420
 But you think the offense may be struggling because of where they've been so far this season.

1180
01:05:19,420 --> 01:05:23,520
 And, to me, that was one of the more intriguing games of the season.

1181
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:30,920
 Harold, I give DJ Durkin and his staff, and particularly Derek Nix, a lot of credit.

1182
01:05:31,140 --> 01:05:33,780
 They literally put this together on the fly.

1183
01:05:34,160 --> 01:05:34,320
 Yeah.

1184
01:05:34,560 --> 01:05:46,060
 As far as Hugh Freeze being fired after losing 10-3 to Kentucky, Auburn gained 563 yards against a very respectable Vanderbilt team.

1185
01:05:46,060 --> 01:05:46,480
 I ranked him.

1186
01:05:47,140 --> 01:05:56,260
 Ashton Daniels, and I know Auburn fans are shrugging their shoulders and say, why in the world was this kid not playing earlier in the year?

1187
01:05:56,900 --> 01:05:59,740
 Ashton Daniels threw for 353.

1188
01:05:59,860 --> 01:06:07,240
 And, oh, by the way, Harold, you know, I guess you scratch your hand why Cam Coleman was not being thrown to more.

1189
01:06:07,240 --> 01:06:14,480
 And, Eric Singleton, Cam Coleman, if you throw it within five yards of him, he's going to catch the ball with one hand.

1190
01:06:14,960 --> 01:06:23,860
 But Ashton Daniels not only passed for 353 and two touchdowns, but I thought Cam Vanderbilt off balance running the ball.

1191
01:06:23,940 --> 01:06:31,960
 A lot of times he would drop back to pass, and then he would just climb up in the pocket and keep running and get a first down.

1192
01:06:32,080 --> 01:06:34,440
 Ran for 89 yards.

1193
01:06:34,980 --> 01:06:37,260
 Auburn ran the ball very well, too.

1194
01:06:37,860 --> 01:06:44,860
 Now, they had 12 penalties for 91 yards, and in close games, that's going to bite you in the bud at some point.

1195
01:06:44,860 --> 01:06:47,860
 But, my goodness, what a difference offensively.

1196
01:06:48,560 --> 01:06:57,120
 And, again, Harold, Pavia, when we talked about this earlier, Pavia's not 6'5 and 250 and ready to play in the NFL.

1197
01:06:57,860 --> 01:07:00,500
 That kid has so much monster.

1198
01:07:01,240 --> 01:07:03,120
 He's just absolutely incredible.

1199
01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:05,220
 And I've talked about him for years.

1200
01:07:06,020 --> 01:07:08,580
 Auburn's ahead 17-3.

1201
01:07:09,180 --> 01:07:14,460
 He brings them back to go ahead, I believe, 20-17 in the game seesaw from there.

1202
01:07:14,460 --> 01:07:19,680
 But, once again, you knew if Vandy had the ball last, he was going to win.

1203
01:07:20,100 --> 01:07:20,360
 Yeah.

1204
01:07:21,020 --> 01:07:22,780
 I shook hands with John Stallworth.

1205
01:07:22,920 --> 01:07:24,560
 I always thought I had big hands.

1206
01:07:24,640 --> 01:07:26,160
 I shook hands with Stallworth.

1207
01:07:26,240 --> 01:07:29,300
 Now, of course, got four Super Bowl rings with the Steelers.

1208
01:07:29,300 --> 01:07:30,580
 Now, the NFL Hall of Fame.

1209
01:07:31,220 --> 01:07:33,540
 Like a peanut in a palm patch.

1210
01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:34,720
 He had huge hands.

1211
01:07:34,780 --> 01:07:36,140
 I think that's the deal with Cam Coleman.

1212
01:07:36,800 --> 01:07:38,840
 BB, to me, he's one of the best receivers.

1213
01:07:39,020 --> 01:07:42,860
 You wouldn't know it by the stats because of the scheme so far, but he is an outstanding receiver.

1214
01:07:42,860 --> 01:07:48,560
 The question I'm asking is, and I thought Dirk, and even he verbalized it over the weekend.

1215
01:07:48,780 --> 01:07:56,820
 You know that when you are in this situation, it's almost like, remember the old show, Wild Kingdom with the wolves, the circle, the prey?

1216
01:07:57,080 --> 01:08:02,120
 How many of those coaches are out there circling the prey right now looking at a guy like Coleman and saying,

1217
01:08:02,240 --> 01:08:05,120
 come on down here and we'll make you a star and pay you well, son?

1218
01:08:06,380 --> 01:08:10,740
 Well, Kevin Scarbinsky had an interesting article on annual.com.

1219
01:08:10,820 --> 01:08:14,180
 Our buddy that we've talked to for years said, don't get excited.

1220
01:08:14,340 --> 01:08:18,060
 Yes, it was a great performance, but don't hire D.J. Durkin tomorrow.

1221
01:08:18,680 --> 01:08:20,220
 Let's see how this plays out.

1222
01:08:20,340 --> 01:08:24,300
 Auburn's got a bye week, and then they play an 8-1 Mercer.

1223
01:08:25,080 --> 01:08:27,760
 It's like I was talking about Tennessee Tech earlier.

1224
01:08:27,900 --> 01:08:29,760
 They're 10-0 about to face Kentucky.

1225
01:08:30,500 --> 01:08:34,640
 Mercer's had a good – listen, you can't overlook teams like that.

1226
01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:41,820
 I know it's FCFs, but if you get caught looking ahead to the next opponent, but we'll see.

1227
01:08:42,200 --> 01:08:48,040
 Certainly, if he upsets Alabama, he would get a serious look.

1228
01:08:48,380 --> 01:08:48,960
 We'll see.

1229
01:08:49,240 --> 01:08:56,460
 Again, Max Howell telling us, according to his sources, that Lane Kiffin may be staying in Oxford,

1230
01:08:56,460 --> 01:09:02,740
 and if that does, that is really going to change the postseason as far as coaching hires.

1231
01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:08,560
 And the Auburn defense did not play one of their better games in the year,

1232
01:09:08,620 --> 01:09:13,740
 but don't give a lot of credit to Paul B.O., Stowers, Alexander, and that Vandy offense.

1233
01:09:14,680 --> 01:09:17,300
 Back to Lane, are you surprised by that news?

1234
01:09:17,360 --> 01:09:23,660
 I'm not terribly surprised because everybody – I think most people say it's all about money.

1235
01:09:23,660 --> 01:09:25,920
 People make decisions all about money.

1236
01:09:26,080 --> 01:09:30,760
 Personally, to me, that's the craziest decision to make in your life.

1237
01:09:31,220 --> 01:09:34,520
 What is more important, money or happiness and peace of mind?

1238
01:09:34,900 --> 01:09:37,480
 If money's that important, then to me it's no-brainer.

1239
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:41,120
 You go to a Florida or some of these reported contracts, it's a no-brainer.

1240
01:09:41,360 --> 01:09:45,880
 But if you're making a good living in Oxford, Mississippi, and you've got what you want,

1241
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:48,260
 which Lane's got total control of that program.

1242
01:09:48,380 --> 01:09:49,840
 You saw his stand over the weekend.

1243
01:09:50,440 --> 01:09:51,700
 There's a young couple over there.

1244
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:56,600
 The dude did the thing with the TikTok stuff they got going on, got down on the knee and all that stuff.

1245
01:09:56,680 --> 01:09:57,500
 And who crashed it?

1246
01:09:57,900 --> 01:10:00,300
 Lane came over there right before the game and crashed it.

1247
01:10:00,800 --> 01:10:02,660
 He can get away with anything he wants.

1248
01:10:02,920 --> 01:10:06,580
 Lane can be Lane as far as he is in Oxford.

1249
01:10:06,580 --> 01:10:07,940
 He goes somewhere else.

1250
01:10:07,980 --> 01:10:10,000
 He's going to sit here and be politically correct.

1251
01:10:10,160 --> 01:10:12,480
 And Lane, that shoe doesn't fit his foot.

1252
01:10:12,800 --> 01:10:14,140
 He can't sit here and be a yes man.

1253
01:10:14,220 --> 01:10:15,560
 That's just not who Lane Kiffin is.

1254
01:10:15,600 --> 01:10:16,800
 He's shown it over the years.

1255
01:10:17,220 --> 01:10:20,040
 You've got to let Lane be Lane, and he'll get the job done for you.

1256
01:10:20,080 --> 01:10:21,040
 Some people are that way.

1257
01:10:22,380 --> 01:10:27,440
 Your thoughts, are you surprised, and how does that impact all these openings?

1258
01:10:27,700 --> 01:10:31,040
 Because let's face it, it's a domino world out there when it comes to replacing these guys.

1259
01:10:31,040 --> 01:10:43,500
 Well, John Ferrari was on our bud out of Jacksonville, Florida, and he has told me repeatedly that Lane Kiffin was the number one prospect for the Gators.

1260
01:10:43,700 --> 01:10:51,960
 In fact, there is reportedly a $13.5 million for six years with $81 million guaranteed.

1261
01:10:53,800 --> 01:11:02,160
 It's on Jimmy Saxton's desk, who is Lane Kiffin's agent, and we'll see where this goes.

1262
01:11:02,300 --> 01:11:07,200
 But, Harold, the one thing about Kiffin I've heard in the last couple of years, he's matured.

1263
01:11:07,200 --> 01:11:12,360
 And someone told me for the first time in his life, he's actually happy somewhere.

1264
01:11:12,680 --> 01:11:16,520
 Now, I think he's been satisfied, but he's never been truly happy.

1265
01:11:16,680 --> 01:11:19,400
 His family's there now, all around him.

1266
01:11:19,440 --> 01:11:21,340
 He seems to really be enjoying himself.

1267
01:11:21,520 --> 01:11:22,900
 And Max made a great point.

1268
01:11:23,460 --> 01:11:26,660
 He is now, he knows who he's working with.

1269
01:11:27,080 --> 01:11:29,800
 He's satisfied with the Ole Miss administration.

1270
01:11:30,040 --> 01:11:31,540
 They're going to pay him a lot of money.

1271
01:11:34,280 --> 01:11:38,260
 If this was two years ago, I'd have told you he was going to Florida.

1272
01:11:38,520 --> 01:11:44,460
 But now, right now, I know Max is not the only one I've heard that from this weekend.

1273
01:11:44,900 --> 01:11:47,660
 No, it would not surprise me if he stays in Oxford.

1274
01:11:48,200 --> 01:11:49,500
 We'll see how that plays out.

1275
01:11:49,560 --> 01:11:50,280
 VB, your thoughts.

1276
01:11:50,360 --> 01:11:52,740
 Let's talk a little bit about this Oklahoma-Alabama game.

1277
01:11:52,740 --> 01:11:54,820
 Because everybody's talking about Oklahoma's defense.

1278
01:11:54,940 --> 01:11:56,320
 And let's face it, it's pretty doggone good.

1279
01:11:56,400 --> 01:11:58,420
 Venables has a reputation.

1280
01:11:58,600 --> 01:12:01,200
 It's going to be interesting to see this Alabama line.

1281
01:12:01,280 --> 01:12:05,640
 If they have the problems they've had to date, and they take on Venables front,

1282
01:12:05,740 --> 01:12:08,640
 to me, and we're going to get into this with Redfish Barger here in a second,

1283
01:12:09,040 --> 01:12:09,780
 you can give us more.

1284
01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:12,080
 That, to me, is going to be a very interesting matchup.

1285
01:12:12,140 --> 01:12:14,940
 But here's Oklahoma, how they built some of these numbers.

1286
01:12:15,060 --> 01:12:16,520
 They faced Illinois State.

1287
01:12:16,640 --> 01:12:17,600
 They scored three on them.

1288
01:12:17,760 --> 01:12:19,240
 Michigan scored 13.

1289
01:12:19,840 --> 01:12:21,140
 Now, they won both those games.

1290
01:12:21,640 --> 01:12:23,340
 Temple scored three.

1291
01:12:23,960 --> 01:12:26,980
 Auburn, when Hugh Freeze was calling a shot, scored 17.

1292
01:12:27,500 --> 01:12:31,560
 Kent State, hello, Kent State, that's Nick Saban's old school there.

1293
01:12:32,060 --> 01:12:33,140
 Three dead in Ohio.

1294
01:12:33,520 --> 01:12:35,420
 They shut Kent State out.

1295
01:12:35,900 --> 01:12:37,320
 Texas beat Oklahoma.

1296
01:12:37,480 --> 01:12:38,640
 Texas scored 23.

1297
01:12:39,280 --> 01:12:40,660
 South Carolina, they're down.

1298
01:12:40,740 --> 01:12:41,620
 They scored seven.

1299
01:12:41,740 --> 01:12:43,600
 Ole Miss, a whopping 34.

1300
01:12:44,260 --> 01:12:45,980
 And Tennessee, 27.

1301
01:12:46,400 --> 01:12:48,320
 You see what I'm trying to say here.

1302
01:12:48,460 --> 01:12:50,320
 Yes, Oklahoma has good stats.

1303
01:12:50,640 --> 01:12:53,000
 But to me, you've got to do an apples-to-apples thing.

1304
01:12:53,160 --> 01:12:55,840
 When you face some of these stats, you're going to be against Kent State.

1305
01:12:56,160 --> 01:12:57,600
 South Carolina's down.

1306
01:12:58,280 --> 01:12:59,600
 Auburn, they were down.

1307
01:12:59,900 --> 01:13:01,340
 Temple, they was Temple.

1308
01:13:01,940 --> 01:13:03,600
 Illinois State's Illinois State.

1309
01:13:04,100 --> 01:13:08,140
 BB, objectively, what do you see this weekend when Alabama's got the ball

1310
01:13:08,140 --> 01:13:12,440
 and trying to keep this Venables front from hurting Ty Simpson?

1311
01:13:12,820 --> 01:13:16,080
 Well, and remember, they're coming off a bye week, Harold.

1312
01:13:16,080 --> 01:13:18,640
 So they've had a lot of time to scout Alabama.

1313
01:13:18,640 --> 01:13:23,320
 They have 33 sacks, which ranks fourth in the country.

1314
01:13:24,380 --> 01:13:27,620
 They don't force a lot of turnovers.

1315
01:13:27,820 --> 01:13:29,740
 In fact, they're 117th.

1316
01:13:30,240 --> 01:13:32,680
 Alabama's 18th in the country.

1317
01:13:32,800 --> 01:13:34,560
 They've done a very good job with that.

1318
01:13:35,020 --> 01:13:38,040
 Mason Thomas is one of the best defensive linemen.

1319
01:13:38,260 --> 01:13:42,720
 Now, he tweaked his hamstring when he had a scoop and score against Tennessee.

1320
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:44,620
 He's one of the best players.

1321
01:13:45,420 --> 01:13:47,700
 But in fact, he's got six and a half sacks.

1322
01:13:48,280 --> 01:13:50,280
 Oklahoma really is a good team.

1323
01:13:50,800 --> 01:13:54,100
 Harold, I think John Mateer, the bye week, has allowed Mateer

1324
01:13:54,100 --> 01:13:57,780
 to probably get completely healthy with his hand.

1325
01:13:57,880 --> 01:14:00,080
 And they're not going to blow you away offensively,

1326
01:14:00,160 --> 01:14:04,340
 but he can hurt you when he drops back and the pocket collapses

1327
01:14:04,340 --> 01:14:08,720
 and he runs for a first down, which has been an issue for Alabama,

1328
01:14:08,720 --> 01:14:10,720
 even going back to the Nick Saban days.

1329
01:14:10,880 --> 01:14:16,140
 But there's no question that this is going to be a very tough game for Alabama.

1330
01:14:16,800 --> 01:14:21,340
 Everybody remembers, I'm sure the revenge thing is going to play a part of this too.

1331
01:14:21,480 --> 01:14:25,780
 But, and you're right, the schedule has been a little sketchy,

1332
01:14:26,100 --> 01:14:27,820
 but their defense is elite.

1333
01:14:28,820 --> 01:14:32,160
 More on that in a moment from now with Redfish Barger.

1334
01:14:32,280 --> 01:14:35,000
 Quickly, in case you missed, it's staying with Bama, but basketball.

1335
01:14:35,340 --> 01:14:36,560
 BB, the latest pullout.

1336
01:14:36,680 --> 01:14:38,500
 AP says, we're going to reward you.

1337
01:14:38,560 --> 01:14:41,160
 We're going to jump your seven spots from 15 to eight

1338
01:14:41,160 --> 01:14:45,000
 because you knocked off at the time number five, St. John's.

1339
01:14:45,140 --> 01:14:48,260
 Basically, a St. John's home game there at the Madison Square Garden.

1340
01:14:48,960 --> 01:14:54,060
 And doing it convincingly, not only did they win, BB, they faced adversity.

1341
01:14:54,880 --> 01:14:58,840
 They had a big lead, lost it, regained it down the stretch.

1342
01:14:59,260 --> 01:15:02,920
 And now they're going to be quickly taking on number two, Purdue.

1343
01:15:03,260 --> 01:15:04,560
 Purdue was number one.

1344
01:15:04,800 --> 01:15:07,240
 And Houston leapfrogged them in their day's poll.

1345
01:15:07,440 --> 01:15:09,100
 The Boilermakers now number two.

1346
01:15:09,180 --> 01:15:10,600
 But, BB, first things first.

1347
01:15:11,800 --> 01:15:14,520
 If you watch a lot of Bama basketball over the years,

1348
01:15:15,040 --> 01:15:17,880
 these starting guards for Alabama, I don't know.

1349
01:15:18,220 --> 01:15:22,780
 We don't have much of a sample, but based on the sample so far, so good.

1350
01:15:23,180 --> 01:15:24,040
 I'll tell you one thing.

1351
01:15:24,120 --> 01:15:26,360
 If they can keep these guards healthy, Harold.

1352
01:15:27,420 --> 01:15:30,040
 Reitzel came back and hit some big shots.

1353
01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:33,560
 Aiden Holloway hit some big shots.

1354
01:15:35,020 --> 01:15:39,820
 And the guards, in my opinion, are the best in the SEC.

1355
01:15:40,220 --> 01:15:42,480
 They've got a lot more depth.

1356
01:15:42,700 --> 01:15:43,600
 We'll see.

1357
01:15:43,820 --> 01:15:47,840
 The kid from Miami is not even going to play until the SEC.

1358
01:15:48,200 --> 01:15:49,600
 He's another guard forward.

1359
01:15:50,320 --> 01:15:52,380
 I was impressed with the rebounding.

1360
01:15:52,520 --> 01:15:54,900
 Bo Bowen got a lot of rebounds.

1361
01:15:55,360 --> 01:15:57,760
 In fact, Nate Oates called him out earlier in the week.

1362
01:15:58,280 --> 01:15:59,880
 Very deep Alabama team.

1363
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:02,760
 If he can keep this team healthy and they can shoot the ball,

1364
01:16:03,340 --> 01:16:04,780
 there's no question.

1365
01:16:04,980 --> 01:16:06,360
 Let's don't get ahead of ourselves.

1366
01:16:06,360 --> 01:16:10,200
 But this is potentially another lead eight Final Four team.

1367
01:16:10,760 --> 01:16:14,740
 And the thing is, you mentioned now, it looks like if one thing they've improved on,

1368
01:16:14,820 --> 01:16:18,600
 it is with the tall Giants trying to clean up the board.

1369
01:16:18,780 --> 01:16:21,020
 Alabama under Nate Oates, you're always going to get the threes.

1370
01:16:21,140 --> 01:16:24,600
 The problem has been, can you sit here and get more than one shot?

1371
01:16:24,700 --> 01:16:26,580
 And so far, so good in that front as well.

1372
01:16:26,960 --> 01:16:28,700
 Coming up, as we mentioned a little bit later on,

1373
01:16:28,720 --> 01:16:31,580
 I'm going to be going more in depth with Alabama football with the Redfish Barger.

1374
01:16:31,640 --> 01:16:35,040
 But first, Big Orange Talk with the V-Man, Vince Roaroff, 99-1.

1375
01:16:35,460 --> 01:16:35,960
 I'm back.

1376
01:16:42,240 --> 01:16:46,080
 On the basketball court, the soccer pitch, or even the golf course,

1377
01:16:46,460 --> 01:16:50,840
 your crew brings their best not just for the win, but for that post-game celebration.

1378
01:16:51,840 --> 01:16:55,740
 When victory tastes like Michelob Ultra, it's worth every drop of sweat.

1379
01:16:56,240 --> 01:16:58,700
 And if you don't win, you'll still get the beer.

1380
01:16:59,140 --> 01:17:00,180
 It's just on you.

1381
01:17:00,880 --> 01:17:02,520
 Superior is worth playing for.

1382
01:17:03,100 --> 01:17:05,940
 Michelob Ultra, 2.6 carbs, 95 calories.

1383
01:17:06,300 --> 01:17:07,480
 Superior, light beer.

1384
01:17:07,980 --> 01:17:08,720
 Enjoy responsibly.

1385
01:17:08,780 --> 01:17:14,600

 Again, 1-800-217-4380.

1396
01:17:42,300 --> 01:17:47,040
 Now that I'm a dad, I can't stop thinking about what would happen to my kids if something happened to me.

1397
01:17:47,240 --> 01:17:50,160
 Like losing the house or not affording college.

1398
01:17:50,380 --> 01:17:52,200
 Yeah, that used to keep me up at night too.

1399
01:17:52,580 --> 01:17:54,660
 It's why I finally got life insurance from Ethos.

 I got $2 million in coverage for around $2 a day.

1409
01:18:13,440 --> 01:18:15,200
 More fiber and laxatives, eh?

1410
01:18:15,600 --> 01:18:16,540
 Who are you?

1411
01:18:16,820 --> 01:18:17,920
 I'm future you.

1412
01:18:18,240 --> 01:18:19,020
 Future me?

1413
01:18:19,520 --> 01:18:21,500
 Constipation with belly pain still coming back?

1414
01:18:21,680 --> 01:18:22,920
 Our doctor figured it out.

1415
01:18:23,120 --> 01:18:26,620
 It's irritable bowel syndrome with constipation or IBSC.

1416
01:18:26,840 --> 01:18:28,740
 And Linzess could help you get ahead of it.

1417
01:18:29,600 --> 01:18:32,540
 Linzesslinacletide is a prescription medicine that treats IBSC in adults.

1418
01:18:32,540 --> 01:18:33,700
 It's not a laxative.

1419
01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:36,260
 It's a once-daily pill that helps you get ahead of your symptoms.

1420
01:18:36,700 --> 01:18:43,280
 It's proven to help you have more frequent and complete bowel movements and helps relieve overall abdominal symptoms, belly pain, discomfort, and bloating.

1421
01:18:43,560 --> 01:18:46,000
 These symptoms were studied in combination, not individually.

1422
01:18:46,360 --> 01:18:48,140
 Do not give Linzess to children less than two.

1423
01:18:48,260 --> 01:18:49,020
 It may harm them.

1424
01:18:49,220 --> 01:18:51,100
 Do not take Linzess if you have a bowel blockage.

1425
01:18:51,280 --> 01:18:55,520
 Get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain, especially with bloody or black stools.

1426
01:18:55,740 --> 01:18:58,100
 The most common side effect is diarrhea, sometimes severe.

1427
01:18:58,340 --> 01:19:00,900
 If it's severe, stop taking Linzess and call your doctor right away.

1428
01:19:01,160 --> 01:19:03,840
 Other side effects include gas, stomach area pain, and swelling.

1429
01:19:04,180 --> 01:19:06,300
 Talk to your doctor and say yes to Linzess.

 How doers get more done.

1437
01:19:32,840 --> 01:19:35,540
 Number one claim based on total household installations as of December 2023.

1438
01:19:35,840 --> 01:19:42,140
 29% faster average smoke detection based on internal testing of smoldering wood fires for KIDA 9th edition versus leading competitor 8th edition product.

 As you all know, I care deeply about pediatric cancer research and awareness.

1441
01:19:47,320 --> 01:19:49,880
 That's why I'm proud to talk about Hyundai Hope on Wheels.

1442
01:19:50,160 --> 01:19:55,260
 For over 27 years, every Hyundai sold has helped fund life-saving pediatric cancer research.

1443
01:19:55,480 --> 01:20:00,800
 Together with over 850 dealers nationwide, they've raised more than $277 million,

1444
01:20:01,360 --> 01:20:04,980
 supporting over 25,000 kids in their fight against cancer.

1445
01:20:05,240 --> 01:20:06,820
 At Hyundai, hope isn't optional.

1446
01:20:07,080 --> 01:20:07,820
 It comes standard.

 I'm Roger Hoover.

1454
01:20:38,600 --> 01:20:44,080
 After Alabama's 20-9 win on LSU on Saturday, head coach Kalen DeBoer met with the media.

1455
01:20:44,540 --> 01:20:45,960
 It's always good to get a W.

1456
01:20:46,280 --> 01:20:48,460
 Definitely not satisfied with the way we played at times.

1457
01:20:48,980 --> 01:20:50,220
 Made enough plays to win.

1458
01:20:50,920 --> 01:20:53,580
 But certainly got to continue to prove, got to get back to work tomorrow.

1459
01:20:53,660 --> 01:20:54,400
 Our guys know that.

1460
01:20:54,900 --> 01:21:00,080
 Proud of the defense, holding them to field goals for red zone attempts and walking away with nine points.

1461
01:21:00,120 --> 01:21:01,760
 It's a great job by those guys.

1462
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:05,600
 You know, penalties, like what I see there.

1463
01:21:06,180 --> 01:21:08,620
 And then, you know, turnover won the turnover battle.

1464
01:21:08,720 --> 01:21:10,820
 So, obviously, a big play there at the end.

1465
01:21:11,180 --> 01:21:14,100
 And, you know, just there's plays out there we got to make.

1466
01:21:14,440 --> 01:21:17,380
 And that will help a lot of our offense.

1467
01:21:18,080 --> 01:21:22,040
 And defensively, you know, I thought we fought for four quarters.

1468
01:21:22,160 --> 01:21:26,720
 And so, quietly just going out there, taking care of business and really locked in on anything.

1469
01:21:27,280 --> 01:21:28,200
 I'll have more in a moment.

1470
01:21:29,560 --> 01:21:32,220
 This year, we honor the most important anniversary ever.

1471
01:21:32,700 --> 01:21:35,140
 An event that reshapes civilization as we know it.

1472
01:21:35,140 --> 01:21:39,120
 A day that would lead to something so flawless that nothing could ever really compare.

1473
01:21:39,780 --> 01:21:41,960
 People have tried to match it, but have failed.

1474
01:21:42,640 --> 01:21:45,720
 This year, we celebrate the 60th anniversary of Guthrie's.

1475
01:21:46,020 --> 01:21:47,840
 The home of the original chicken finger.

1476
01:21:48,400 --> 01:21:50,580
 Just talking about it gets me all choked up.

1477
01:21:51,220 --> 01:21:52,700
 And hungry for a chicken finger.

1478
01:21:53,820 --> 01:21:54,340
 Guthrie's.

1479
01:21:54,620 --> 01:21:56,500
 An original obsession for 60 years.

1480
01:21:58,400 --> 01:22:00,560
 Join us tonight for Crimson Tide Rewind.

1481
01:22:00,660 --> 01:22:04,440
 Live from Baumhauer's Victory Grill in Bestavia Hills at 6 p.m. Central.

1482
01:22:04,440 --> 01:22:08,980
 You can listen to Crimson Tide Rewind across the radio network, the Varsity Network app,

1483
01:22:09,220 --> 01:22:15,460
 as well as catch a video replay on all CTSN social media platforms at UA underscore CTSN.

1484
01:22:15,900 --> 01:22:18,360
 Crimson Tide Today is brought to you by Guthrie's.

1485
01:22:18,580 --> 01:22:22,600
 Crimson Tide Today is a production of the Crimson Tide Sports Network from Learfield.

1486
01:22:23,440 --> 01:22:24,440
 The Score.

1487
01:22:24,860 --> 01:22:29,640
 Now, back with Boomo Bugg on 93.9 The Score.

1488
01:22:30,160 --> 01:22:31,400
 Welcome back in.

1489
01:22:31,480 --> 01:22:35,240
 And the words of the king, Richard Petty, it's good to have a pit stop in life.

1490
01:22:35,340 --> 01:22:36,940
 I think Vince Roth would agree with that.

1491
01:22:37,060 --> 01:22:41,380
 Busy there at 99.1, the Sports Animal in Knoxville and the Vol Radio Network.

1492
01:22:42,300 --> 01:22:47,200
 B-Man, we know that you had an off week, and we know the lady in your life loves you for that.

1493
01:22:47,280 --> 01:22:48,400
 Her name is Daphne.

1494
01:22:48,540 --> 01:22:49,160
 Welcome in.

1495
01:22:49,240 --> 01:22:50,000
 How are you?

1496
01:22:50,820 --> 01:22:51,340
 Good, gentlemen.

1497
01:22:51,420 --> 01:22:51,820
 How are we doing?

1498
01:22:52,400 --> 01:22:52,680
 Hey, buddy.

1499
01:22:52,920 --> 01:22:54,500
 The question is, how are you doing?

1500
01:22:54,620 --> 01:22:55,940
 It feels weird.

1501
01:22:56,280 --> 01:22:59,280
 After you get going 90 miles an hour, then you have an off week.

1502
01:22:59,480 --> 01:23:03,080
 It kind of feels weird sometimes, but you appreciate it, I'm sure, at the same time, B-Man.

1503
01:23:03,840 --> 01:23:04,160
 Yeah.

1504
01:23:04,420 --> 01:23:08,860
 You know, as we get older, we plan surgeries during open weeks.

1505
01:23:10,100 --> 01:23:10,980
 And when it is.

1506
01:23:11,080 --> 01:23:11,560
 Is that right?

1507
01:23:13,520 --> 01:23:16,600
 And it's not a lot of difference, according to some people, between the two, right?

1508
01:23:17,720 --> 01:23:18,120
 Exactly.

1509
01:23:18,700 --> 01:23:20,560
 Hopefully, I'm done with all that.

1510
01:23:20,660 --> 01:23:25,320
 I had my second hip replacement surgery, so it went incredibly smoothly.

1511
01:23:26,940 --> 01:23:32,060
 You know, I can say this now that it's over, but it was pretty amazing.

1512
01:23:32,360 --> 01:23:37,780
 I had a 7 a.m. surgery, and I was out of the hospital at 12.15.

1513
01:23:38,540 --> 01:23:38,980
 Wow.

1514
01:23:40,500 --> 01:23:42,840
 So, that's how smooth it went.

1515
01:23:43,300 --> 01:23:44,940
 So, thankful for that.

1516
01:23:45,140 --> 01:23:50,820
 You know, rehab, obviously, is its own challenge, but going well so far.

1517
01:23:50,880 --> 01:23:52,480
 I'm thankful I'm on the other side of it.

1518
01:23:52,960 --> 01:23:55,320
 So, your surgeon must be a Tennessee fan, right, B-Man?

1519
01:23:55,320 --> 01:23:56,840
 Is that the question you always ask?

1520
01:23:56,920 --> 01:24:01,200
 Are you a Tennessee fan before you go into that type thing, before you take that knife out?

1521
01:24:01,980 --> 01:24:04,740
 Well, most importantly, he listens to our show.

1522
01:24:05,040 --> 01:24:05,780
 There you go!

1523
01:24:05,960 --> 01:24:06,840
 There you go!

1524
01:24:09,900 --> 01:24:10,880
 It never hurts.

1525
01:24:11,360 --> 01:24:12,860
 I mean, let's talk about this team.

1526
01:24:12,980 --> 01:24:15,860
 Obviously, Tennessee, what did they learn?

1527
01:24:15,960 --> 01:24:20,760
 What did they try to fix as they come back and get ready for the balance of their season?

1528
01:24:21,920 --> 01:24:25,120
 Well, you know, there's always the health aspect of it, right?

1529
01:24:25,260 --> 01:24:32,620
 You know, you want to get guys that have been banged up and bruised and all that feeling better and closer to 100%.

1530
01:24:32,620 --> 01:24:35,600
 I don't know that you're going to get that, you know, in late in the season.

1531
01:24:35,600 --> 01:24:36,400
 That's one.

1532
01:24:36,980 --> 01:24:39,600
 I don't know who it opens up in terms of availability.

1533
01:24:39,900 --> 01:24:43,980
 I mean, there's still hopes that Jermon McCoy might be able to play.

1534
01:24:44,720 --> 01:24:45,640
 It's hard.

1535
01:24:45,800 --> 01:24:51,700
 I mean, supposedly, he really wants to play and get back.

1536
01:24:51,900 --> 01:25:03,640
 I think, you know, for me, I would be stunned if his draft stock isn't impacted by him not playing this year.

1537
01:25:03,640 --> 01:25:05,520
 He's a projected first-round pick.

1538
01:25:06,040 --> 01:25:11,400
 Now, you look at some mock drafts, and for some, it hasn't changed anything.

1539
01:25:11,880 --> 01:25:14,920
 But I find that hard to believe.

1540
01:25:15,120 --> 01:25:24,700
 I think he's going to need to show that he can play, show that he's explosive, or else, you know, organizations are going to be wondering about him.

1541
01:25:24,700 --> 01:25:31,000
 And you're not going to be able to have those answers just through the off-season workouts, workout circuit.

1542
01:25:31,000 --> 01:25:36,440
 So, you know, if they get Jermon McCoy back, that won't be a lot to be accomplished.

1543
01:25:37,340 --> 01:25:43,240
 You know, the tackling, obviously, is another thing that they'll need to get better at.

1544
01:25:43,700 --> 01:25:53,180
 They're better in the first half against Oklahoma, but then the run game, especially the QB run game, gave them some issues last week in the second half.

1545
01:25:53,840 --> 01:26:08,500
 And the other thing, and they won't, they're not going to find this out, you know, against New Mexico State, is are they going to, you know, to protect the quarterback better?

1546
01:26:09,000 --> 01:26:15,540
 Because they have protected Joey Aguilar for a good part of the year, but then the sacks have really been up the last couple of games.

1547
01:26:15,540 --> 01:26:23,260
 I know one thing, they can't end up doing anything other than blowing New Mexico State out early.

1548
01:26:23,760 --> 01:26:27,160
 So they can play a lot of people in the game.

1549
01:26:27,160 --> 01:26:36,240
 So you're not adding more unnecessary snaps to a team that has some players that have, you know, north of 500 snaps already on the year.

1550
01:26:36,540 --> 01:26:43,880
 And you're going to need them to be as fresh as possible for your, for two of your biggest rivals in Florida and Vanderbilt to close out the regular season.

1551
01:26:45,080 --> 01:26:53,680
 The Tennessee's a 39 and a half point favorite over New Mexico State, who has allowed 270.

1552
01:26:53,680 --> 01:26:58,840
 27 yards passing and 10 touchdowns in the last three games.

1553
01:26:59,080 --> 01:27:04,200
 I listen to Tennessee fans on the radio in this six and three season.

1554
01:27:04,560 --> 01:27:08,300
 I believe me, I certainly understand why they're disappointed.

1555
01:27:08,700 --> 01:27:17,380
 They've lost to number four, Alabama and Tuscaloosa, number five, Georgia in overtime, and number 11, Oklahoma.

1556
01:27:18,080 --> 01:27:21,820
 V, I would not exactly call that a disaster of season.

1557
01:27:23,180 --> 01:27:36,600
 No, you know, and you, you know, how, how it goes as you go along, then the expectations get adjusted and are maybe different than what they were realistically going into the season.

1558
01:27:36,600 --> 01:27:47,840
 And so, um, because there were so many question marks about the quarterback position and, and the passing game, I think it was tempered.

1559
01:27:47,960 --> 01:27:58,340
 And then you start throwing the ball all over the place and throwing it on everybody and you miss out on an opportunity to beat Georgia at home, a team you've been chasing and haven't been able to beat.

1560
01:27:58,920 --> 01:28:03,660
 Um, you know, then, then you're like, all right, why did that get away from us?

1561
01:28:03,660 --> 01:28:08,700
 We were right there and now you've seen some other things break down since then.

1562
01:28:08,700 --> 01:28:21,440
 So it gets elevated and then you end up, you know, about where you kind of were supposed to be, but the, the journey took you to the disappointment stage, uh, during the, that ride.

1563
01:28:21,440 --> 01:28:44,880
 So that, that's why, uh, and, and, you know, you guys know this, having covered the, uh, the sport and athletics in this conference, as long as you have, um, you know, fans are, um, when, when they, you start looking at, uh, at a team or looking at your team, it's how you get to that point.

1564
01:28:44,880 --> 01:28:47,720
 It's not just being at that point.

1565
01:28:47,720 --> 01:29:13,960
 And, uh, and then the, the vocal, uh, percentage that's out there doesn't always represent the entire fan base just because some people call in the sports shows or posts on social media that they're, they're done with Josh Heupel does not mean that most of the fan base believes that, uh, that's just the, the vocal minority that, that has a loud voice when they have opportunities to express themselves.

1566
01:29:13,960 --> 01:29:15,800
 So, so that, that's what's happening.

1567
01:29:15,920 --> 01:29:20,780
 Most people are fully appreciative of what he's done and where he's taken the program from.

1568
01:29:20,880 --> 01:29:21,020
 Yeah.

1569
01:29:21,060 --> 01:29:23,900
 The grass, as they say, is not always greener on the other side.

1570
01:29:23,900 --> 01:29:28,720
 Uh, V-Man, 99-1, the sports animal in Knoxville, switching gears, latest poll out.

1571
01:29:29,380 --> 01:29:38,160
 Tennessee, uh, if I'm looking at it right, number 20, put another way, fourth in the, from the SEC, fourth team from the SEC to make the top 20.

1572
01:29:38,220 --> 01:29:40,480
 Your thoughts about this big orange basketball team?

1573
01:29:41,760 --> 01:29:42,240
 Yeah.

1574
01:29:42,240 --> 01:29:47,940
 Um, I think they were a little bit better against Northern Kentucky than they were in the opener against Mercer.

1575
01:29:47,940 --> 01:30:00,560
 Um, I, I think it's clear that their two best players are five-star true freshman, Nate Ament, who, you know, could be, you know, a top three pick in next year's NBA draft.

1576
01:30:00,720 --> 01:30:01,680
 He's that talented.

1577
01:30:01,680 --> 01:30:08,480
 He's just so different than anything Tennessee has ever had, um, especially under Rick Barnes.

1578
01:30:08,480 --> 01:30:13,580
 And then Jacoby Gillespie, the East Tennessee kid transfer from Maryland.

1579
01:30:13,580 --> 01:30:16,900
 And he was more efficient in, in game two.

1580
01:30:16,900 --> 01:30:27,540
 Um, you know, he, he, teams are, are game planning for him because they know how dynamic and dangerous he can be under, you know, Rick Barnes' system in offense.

1581
01:30:27,540 --> 01:30:34,100
 So, um, you know, both of them still have growing and improving to do, but in just feeling comfortable.

1582
01:30:34,100 --> 01:30:47,260
 But the, the fact that Nate Ament has already become assertive and aggressive and, and now, you know, in game two, we saw him pass the ball a little bit more, not just put his head down and determine he's going to shoot.

1583
01:30:47,440 --> 01:31:08,040
 I mean, he can do absolutely everything on the basketball court and, and the Duke game, it was a high volume shooting and you could tell he, you know, uh, just was a little bit off, but man, when he is relaxed and getting everyone around him involved, he's going to be, both of them, I think are going to look like, uh, two of the better players in the SEC.

1584
01:31:08,040 --> 01:31:11,260
 They're that good at the top and they're pretty deep in the front court as well.

1585
01:31:12,140 --> 01:31:16,460
 Vee, but, uh, in a couple of minutes, what does Alabama need to do?

1586
01:31:16,460 --> 01:31:18,080
 You've seen them up close.

1587
01:31:18,660 --> 01:31:20,940
 What does Alabama need to do to beat Oklahoma?

1588
01:31:21,960 --> 01:31:23,220
 Protect the quarterback.

1589
01:31:24,140 --> 01:31:24,300
 Yep.

1590
01:31:24,560 --> 01:31:25,080
 That's it.

1591
01:31:25,680 --> 01:31:27,900
 Oklahoma gets after the QB.

1592
01:31:28,100 --> 01:31:29,820
 They got to Joey Aguilar.

1593
01:31:30,260 --> 01:31:33,080
 And even when they don't get there, they're putting pressure on you.

1594
01:31:33,520 --> 01:31:39,440
 Brent Venables has different looks every game, uh, from what you've seen on tape.

1595
01:31:39,760 --> 01:31:43,920
 Uh, Tennessee's wide receivers also weren't open as regularly as before.

1596
01:31:43,920 --> 01:31:48,700
 So Ty Simpson isn't going to see those wide open guys.

1597
01:31:48,700 --> 01:31:52,600
 I don't think, uh, as frequently as he's used to seeing.

1598
01:31:52,740 --> 01:31:53,420
 So what does he do?

1599
01:31:53,480 --> 01:31:55,240
 Does that mean he's going to tuck it and run?

1600
01:31:55,300 --> 01:31:59,320
 Does that mean he's going to throw it up and let his receivers go get it?

1601
01:31:59,460 --> 01:32:03,500
 Is he going to be able to execute those, uh, tight window throws?

1602
01:32:03,920 --> 01:32:06,660
 Um, and it's tough to beat them if you're not balanced.

1603
01:32:06,660 --> 01:32:11,920
 So I'm guessing they're probably going to have to do a little bit of something with the run game as well.

1604
01:32:11,980 --> 01:32:13,660
 But I would start with those two things.

1605
01:32:15,700 --> 01:32:16,180
 Absolutely.

1606
01:32:16,500 --> 01:32:23,400
 Listen, we are, we are delighted to hear that the recovery for the second hip surgery has gone very, very well.

1607
01:32:23,600 --> 01:32:26,280
 Um, wish you all the luck in the world with that.

1608
01:32:26,360 --> 01:32:27,340
 God bless you, brother.

1609
01:32:27,600 --> 01:32:30,360
 Where can we get online and get these good stuff?

1610
01:32:30,760 --> 01:32:31,200
 Yeah.

1611
01:32:31,260 --> 01:32:31,940
 Appreciate it.

 Uh, on, uh, all the socials, same handle, Vince sports, V I N C E sports.

 Hey Doc, nice office.

1689
01:36:15,340 --> 01:36:16,240
 Quick question.

1690
01:36:16,480 --> 01:36:20,460
 If you had to choose, would you give yourself a root canal or run payroll?

1691
01:36:20,800 --> 01:36:22,280
 Run payroll, no question.

1692
01:36:22,600 --> 01:36:23,060
 Seriously?

1693
01:36:23,460 --> 01:36:24,780
 Have you run payroll before?

1694
01:36:25,080 --> 01:36:26,920
 Paying my team with Gusto couldn't be easier.

 Welcome back in.

1739
01:38:55,020 --> 01:38:58,980
 It is always a pleasure for us to say hello to William Redfish Barger,

1740
01:38:59,080 --> 01:39:03,400
 former University of Alabama offensive lineman and now co-host of BAMS Radio.

1741
01:39:03,640 --> 01:39:04,500
 William, welcome in.

1742
01:39:04,560 --> 01:39:05,220
 How are you?

1743
01:39:06,000 --> 01:39:06,720
 Doing good, guys.

1744
01:39:06,780 --> 01:39:09,580
 Hope y'all are staying out of the snow up there in North Alabama.

1745
01:39:10,700 --> 01:39:11,100
 Yep.

1746
01:39:11,380 --> 01:39:13,340
 Well, we're in line to get milk and bread.

1747
01:39:13,460 --> 01:39:18,820
 My joke on that, William, is I don't eat milk and or drink milk and eat bread when it's not snowing.

1748
01:39:18,820 --> 01:39:21,200
 So I guess you're supposed to if it is.

1749
01:39:21,240 --> 01:39:22,420
 But let me ask you this, William.

1750
01:39:22,900 --> 01:39:26,780
 Obviously, as a fan, it's always fun if you're an Alabama fan to knock off LSU.

1751
01:39:27,080 --> 01:39:32,520
 But what's it like to be a fan now and a player then to knock off LSU this weekend?

1752
01:39:34,740 --> 01:39:40,300
 Well, you know, when I was at Alabama, LSU was kind of going through a down cycle.

1753
01:39:42,140 --> 01:39:49,820
 You know, Mike Archer had inherited a bunch of good players and, you know, a couple good teams from Bill Arnsbarger.

1754
01:39:49,820 --> 01:39:54,500
 And, you know, once those players ran out, he just fell off a cliff.

1755
01:39:55,000 --> 01:40:03,500
 So, you know, I don't think – I think maybe my senior year we lost to him and we had to play David Palmer

1756
01:40:03,500 --> 01:40:09,840
 and maybe one of the student managers, a quarterback, all of our quarterbacks, disappeared on us with injuries.

1757
01:40:10,660 --> 01:40:13,980
 But I know that was the only game we lost to him.

1758
01:40:13,980 --> 01:40:22,720
 And actually, when the SEC realigned in 92 and brought South Carolina and Arkansas into the league,

1759
01:40:22,780 --> 01:40:25,940
 we had to play down in Baton Rouge two years in a row.

1760
01:40:26,360 --> 01:40:34,500
 So, well, you know, they were day games and not the same atmosphere as what you see today

1761
01:40:34,500 --> 01:40:37,660
 when the lights go down in the swamp down there.

1762
01:40:38,900 --> 01:40:47,740
 William, you mentioned to us last week about how much respect you have for Brent Venables in his defense.

1763
01:40:48,800 --> 01:40:51,880
 Mason Thomas, one of the best defensive ends in the country.

1764
01:40:52,020 --> 01:40:53,940
 I think he's got six and a half sacks.

1765
01:40:55,380 --> 01:40:57,280
 William, what does he do?

1766
01:40:57,680 --> 01:41:02,060
 But we talked to Vince Ferrara, who Tennessee – fall of Tennessee.

1767
01:41:02,300 --> 01:41:03,820
 And, of course, he watched Oklahoma.

1768
01:41:04,000 --> 01:41:06,280
 He said Alabama's got to be more balanced.

1769
01:41:07,040 --> 01:41:10,080
 Ty Simpson's got to throw in two tight windows.

1770
01:41:10,780 --> 01:41:13,700
 And they throw the receivers off the routes.

1771
01:41:15,320 --> 01:41:19,640
 What does Brent Venables do defensively that you like?

1772
01:41:20,720 --> 01:41:25,680
 Well, I mean, I think the biggest thing that he does is he puts a priority on the line of scrimmage.

1773
01:41:25,680 --> 01:41:35,840
 You know, you're always going to see, you know, them do some exotic stuff with their D-line

1774
01:41:35,840 --> 01:41:37,600
 and their inside linebackers.

1775
01:41:37,880 --> 01:41:41,100
 And, you know, they got the edge rusher that you mentioned.

1776
01:41:41,420 --> 01:41:44,060
 Actually, both edge rushers are pretty salty.

1777
01:41:44,540 --> 01:41:50,640
 And, you know, they got one defensive tackle that's got more in his toolbox than just a bull rush, too.

1778
01:41:50,780 --> 01:41:53,280
 But, you know, they do a lot of stunning.

1779
01:41:54,020 --> 01:41:55,540
 They do a lot of twists.

1780
01:41:56,960 --> 01:42:01,920
 They do a lot of double, you know, A-gap blitzes with the inside linebackers.

1781
01:42:01,920 --> 01:42:06,860
 And so you just – it's almost like you never get to catch your breath.

1782
01:42:07,060 --> 01:42:08,600
 They stun a lot.

1783
01:42:08,780 --> 01:42:10,980
 They shift before the snap.

1784
01:42:12,340 --> 01:42:19,620
 And it's just been, you know, a hallmark of what he's done as a defensive coordinator, you know,

1785
01:42:19,620 --> 01:42:24,480
 going back to when he started, you know, at Oklahoma under Bob Stoops back in the 90s.

1786
01:42:24,780 --> 01:42:28,120
 So, I mean, he's had a long time to hone his craft.

1787
01:42:28,420 --> 01:42:36,380
 And, you know, one of the things, though, is if you can survive the firework up front is, you know,

1788
01:42:36,380 --> 01:42:39,320
 he tends to have a back end.

1789
01:42:39,520 --> 01:42:41,860
 Now, this wasn't the case when he was at Clemson.

1790
01:42:42,140 --> 01:42:49,100
 But, you know, currently, I mean, I think his secondary can be had if you can survive what he does to you up front.

1791
01:42:49,680 --> 01:42:52,300
 So, you know, there's going to be some opportunities there.

1792
01:42:52,360 --> 01:42:58,600
 I'm not saying Ryan Grubb doesn't need to have a plan in his back pocket for some screens and some draws

1793
01:42:58,600 --> 01:43:01,700
 and some stuff to slow them down with those games up front.

1794
01:43:02,040 --> 01:43:07,960
 But there'll be some opportunities to make plays, you know, down the field in the passing game.

1795
01:43:08,180 --> 01:43:14,660
 And, you know, based on what I've seen, h***, I don't know if Alabama's best, you know, line of attack going forward

1796
01:43:14,660 --> 01:43:17,500
 isn't to throw the ball, you know, first, second, and third down.

1797
01:43:17,660 --> 01:43:22,320
 Just go ahead and call a spade a spade and just give it up, you know.

1798
01:43:23,600 --> 01:43:24,000
 Amen.

1799
01:43:24,300 --> 01:43:29,960
 Things like this offense does best with, you know, 12 to 15-yard balls down the middle of the field.

1800
01:43:29,960 --> 01:43:36,040
 So, you know, I'm a big fan of, you know, if you're good at it, do it until somebody makes you do something different.

1801
01:43:37,220 --> 01:43:39,340
 William Redfish, Marge, let me ask you about that.

1802
01:43:39,880 --> 01:43:40,940
 Alabama knows what to do.

1803
01:43:41,000 --> 01:43:42,420
 The question is, can they do it?

1804
01:43:42,480 --> 01:43:50,600
 And your thoughts about the – let's face it, Ryan Grubb is a whiz in the red zone, two-point conversions, fourth down plays.

1805
01:43:51,080 --> 01:43:55,560
 But on first down, I'm sure a lot of folks, and most of all you because you've been there and done that,

1806
01:43:56,180 --> 01:44:02,840
 what would it be like if you kind of changed things up than trying to run inside on first down?

1807
01:44:02,900 --> 01:44:10,160
 Because let's face it, history has shown Ty Simpson's been tasked with basically second and loan just about every possession.

1808
01:44:10,420 --> 01:44:12,960
 What would you do differently on first down, William?

1809
01:44:13,960 --> 01:44:17,180
 Well, I'd try and probably not be as predictable as he's become.

1810
01:44:17,600 --> 01:44:17,960
 Thank you.

1811
01:44:19,140 --> 01:44:23,260
 You know, nobody's paying me $2 million a year to make that call.

1812
01:44:23,500 --> 01:44:27,160
 But if they were, I would want to do something different.

1813
01:44:28,160 --> 01:44:35,760
 But, yeah, I mean, you know, maybe do a – you know, and I think that's something that you're – hopefully you'll see Saturday is, you know,

1814
01:44:35,800 --> 01:44:41,180
 kind of like what you saw Alex Atkins do with Nussmeyer there in the first quarter.

1815
01:44:41,360 --> 01:44:45,960
 You know, I think they need to roll the pocket, move it, you know, give Ty the option.

1816
01:44:46,080 --> 01:44:48,500
 H***, Ty was Alabama's best running back Saturday.

1817
01:44:49,100 --> 01:44:49,460
 Again.

1818
01:44:49,900 --> 01:44:52,800
 So give him – you know, give him a run pass option.

1819
01:44:52,980 --> 01:44:56,120
 You know, it's a real easy route tree when you do that.

1820
01:44:56,260 --> 01:44:58,760
 You know, it's one or two quick reads.

1821
01:44:58,880 --> 01:45:01,300
 And if they're both covered, tuck it and get what you can.

1822
01:45:02,740 --> 01:45:07,860
 But, you know, they've got to do something to keep Oklahoma off their pitch count.

1823
01:45:08,360 --> 01:45:13,060
 And, you know, whether that's getting them in a situation where you change the snap count

1824
01:45:13,060 --> 01:45:17,760
 and you catch them, you know, with the, you know, offsides penalties.

1825
01:45:18,880 --> 01:45:23,400
 You know, they're going to, you know, try everything in their playbook.

1826
01:45:23,400 --> 01:45:26,240
 And, you know, they've had two weeks to prepare for it.

1827
01:45:27,100 --> 01:45:31,100
 But, yeah, I mean, I just think, you know, it might help the consistency

1828
01:45:31,100 --> 01:45:37,480
 or maybe the beginning of a consistent running game, you know, if you weren't predictable about it.

1829
01:45:37,880 --> 01:45:42,700
 And, you know, and look, I know everybody, when they see this stuff happens,

1830
01:45:42,900 --> 01:45:45,940
 they immediately want to point to the fat guys up front.

1831
01:45:46,180 --> 01:45:50,140
 And that's just not the case, you know, all the time.

1832
01:45:50,140 --> 01:45:56,000
 I've seen a lot of instances where the offensive line has done their job and, you know,

1833
01:45:56,000 --> 01:46:00,340
 our running backs have turned into Trent Richardson when he was with the Cleveland Browns and went blind.

1834
01:46:01,520 --> 01:46:03,460
 So, you know, they've got to have some vision.

1835
01:46:03,600 --> 01:46:09,240
 They've got to have some instincts to either be patient, wait on some creases or some cutback lanes

1836
01:46:09,240 --> 01:46:12,340
 or hit the gap that is available to them.

1837
01:46:12,500 --> 01:46:18,240
 And, you know, obviously the offensive line and the play caller in this instance, you know,

1838
01:46:18,240 --> 01:46:22,320
 they all share some culpability in the lack of a running game at this stage in the game.

1839
01:46:22,360 --> 01:46:23,980
 Let me ask you this about the running game.

1840
01:46:24,080 --> 01:46:27,720
 Obviously, I think it's safe to say Dears is right off the farm.

1841
01:46:27,820 --> 01:46:30,380
 He's still learning the system how to block high school in Mississippi.

1842
01:46:30,980 --> 01:46:34,600
 You've got so much talent, you don't have to worry about that part of the game at this level you do.

1843
01:46:34,700 --> 01:46:36,040
 But where is Richard Young?

1844
01:46:36,120 --> 01:46:40,700
 This is a five-star coming out of high school, and you can't even find him on a milk carton.

1845
01:46:41,780 --> 01:46:48,020
 Yeah, you know, there was a lot of conversation after his injury last year that he lost a step.

1846
01:46:48,020 --> 01:46:55,560
 And, you know, it had kind of, you know, gone into being kind of a one-cut running back.

1847
01:46:55,880 --> 01:46:58,920
 And, you know, that was kind of what made him special coming out of high school

1848
01:46:58,920 --> 01:47:00,440
 is he did have that extra gear.

1849
01:47:01,320 --> 01:47:07,060
 And, you know, I just think that, you know, they've got a guy that's got a little different gear there

1850
01:47:07,060 --> 01:47:12,000
 than Kevin Riley, and I don't know, you know, really what he's done to fall out of favor.

1851
01:47:12,000 --> 01:47:17,600
 You know, in September he was, you know, getting four-five targets either on the ground or in the air.

1852
01:47:18,020 --> 01:47:19,700
 You know, in games.

1853
01:47:19,880 --> 01:47:23,840
 So, you know, maybe they can, you know, recycle him back up to the top.

1854
01:47:23,980 --> 01:47:28,040
 But, you know, I just think they've got to do something.

1855
01:47:28,860 --> 01:47:36,020
 You know, this is not really the front seven or the defensive mastermind, I don't think,

1856
01:47:36,080 --> 01:47:40,440
 to really expect to see it because they are so disruptive.

1857
01:47:40,440 --> 01:47:46,620
 And, you know, that's going to be a, you know, a premium is trying to eliminate the negative plays,

1858
01:47:46,760 --> 01:47:53,200
 the tackles for losses that Oklahoma's defensive line and front seven are going to try and create Saturday.

1859
01:47:53,300 --> 01:47:56,520
 They do try and play a lot of their ball on your side of the line of scrimmage.

1860
01:47:57,480 --> 01:48:02,120
 William, this defense obviously has improved over the course of the season.

1861
01:48:02,120 --> 01:48:08,840
 I was reading two articles to where, quote, they only missed one tackle on defense by Red Morgan.

1862
01:48:09,540 --> 01:48:12,100
 Three forced fumbles, recovered two.

1863
01:48:12,280 --> 01:48:15,140
 Hill Green, who seems to be playing better every game.

1864
01:48:15,760 --> 01:48:18,020
 Bray Hubbard, Yonse Pierre, of course.

1865
01:48:18,600 --> 01:48:24,120
 Seven pressures from the guys Hubbard and Dajon Lee credited with pass breakups.

1866
01:48:24,120 --> 01:48:29,800
 And I know they had another run-fit bus, which seems to happen every game.

1867
01:48:29,960 --> 01:48:34,200
 But this defense, again, that they're playing a lot of players.

1868
01:48:34,200 --> 01:48:35,840
 They're getting pressure on the quarterback.

1869
01:48:36,100 --> 01:48:40,400
 They've been turning the ball over, forcing turnovers the entire season.

1870
01:48:41,340 --> 01:48:45,200
 William, your thoughts on the development and improvement of this defense?

1871
01:48:45,960 --> 01:48:47,660
 Well, I think it's been incredible.

1872
01:48:48,600 --> 01:48:59,100
 And, you know, we've been talking about Bray Hubbard and, you know, some of these, you know, guys, you know, early in the season.

1873
01:48:59,100 --> 01:49:06,680
 I think what's really been impressive is, you know, Saturday, three out of your top four tacklers were your three inside linebackers.

1874
01:49:06,880 --> 01:49:07,260
 That's right.

1875
01:49:08,200 --> 01:49:10,520
 Jefferson and Lawson.

1876
01:49:10,520 --> 01:49:17,740
 And I think the one name that you did mention that's been a big improvement that's led to a lot of this stuff.

1877
01:49:17,880 --> 01:49:28,600
 You know, since Red Morgan was inserted early in the Tennessee game to kind of slow their slot-wide receiver success down, you know, he's become a mainstay.

1878
01:49:28,900 --> 01:49:30,860
 And he's good in coverage.

1879
01:49:31,140 --> 01:49:33,080
 He's aggressive against the run.

1880
01:49:33,660 --> 01:49:42,340
 You know, obviously we're seeing, you know, probably a top-15 draft pick in the making emerging with the true freshman, Dajon Lee.

1881
01:49:42,340 --> 01:49:46,120
 I mean, you just can't coach that length and that speed.

1882
01:49:46,440 --> 01:49:50,160
 And he's an aggressive tackler for, you know, a corner.

1883
01:49:50,900 --> 01:50:05,620
 So, you know, but to me, I think the four guys that have really kind of flown up from being just, you know, lost or, you know, maybe just things were moving too fast.

1884
01:50:05,700 --> 01:50:07,880
 Maybe one of them was still recovering from an injury.

1885
01:50:07,880 --> 01:50:16,520
 But Lawson, Jefferson, Hill Green, and Red Morgan, I think, is really what's made this defense kind of take it to the next level.

1886
01:50:17,300 --> 01:50:22,420
 And, you know, they're up to, you know, 13th in the country and points allowed per game now.

1887
01:50:22,640 --> 01:50:32,760
 And, you know, you saw that translate, you know, into three field goals with some really, you know, tough, tough circumstances to, you know, turn those things into field goals.

1888
01:50:32,900 --> 01:50:37,860
 You know, Pierre obviously created one himself with that 30-yard sack or whatever it was he had.

1889
01:50:37,860 --> 01:50:47,320
 But, you know, I looked out there one time in a critical situation that y'all touched on with playing a lot of players.

1890
01:50:47,460 --> 01:50:54,760
 And the whole second-team defensive line was on the field for a series of three or four downs, you know, inside the red zone.

1891
01:50:55,400 --> 01:51:00,700
 And so when you get that type of production from backup players, you know, you're doing something right.

1892
01:51:00,820 --> 01:51:10,040
 And I think especially after the early season criticism, you know, I think Kane Womack deserves all the credit in the world.

1893
01:51:10,040 --> 01:51:14,260
 And certainly the players do as well for getting to where they're at today.

1894
01:51:15,040 --> 01:51:21,660
 To your point about Lee, one of the key breakups, the back of the end zone there, and that's a lot of pressure on a man with that kind of experience.

1895
01:51:21,740 --> 01:51:23,380
 So that kind of illustrates your point right there.

1896
01:51:23,460 --> 01:51:25,320
 The future is so bright, he's got to wear shades.

1897
01:51:25,660 --> 01:51:29,200
 So, Redfish, this game opened with Bama back in the summer.

1898
01:51:29,320 --> 01:51:31,520
 The two touchdown 14-point favorites.

1899
01:51:31,780 --> 01:51:33,340
 It opened over the weekend at seven.

1900
01:51:33,440 --> 01:51:35,060
 It's down to six and a half.

1901
01:51:35,960 --> 01:51:38,920
 Redfish, what's going to happen Saturday night in Tuscaloosa?

1902
01:51:39,960 --> 01:51:47,020
 Well, you know, I think it's going to be an interesting matchup because both teams are kind of still fighting for where they want to go.

1903
01:51:47,280 --> 01:51:49,880
 You know, Oklahoma still has a chance to make the playoffs.

1904
01:51:50,940 --> 01:51:58,940
 You know, Alabama, you know, is fighting for a, you know, a berth in the SEC championship game and an SEC championship.

1905
01:51:59,280 --> 01:52:03,420
 So, you know, there's a lot of stuff on the line here.

1906
01:52:03,920 --> 01:52:11,940
 You know, it's going to be, you know, an offensive guru and Kalen DeVore versus a defensive guru and Brent Venerables.

1907
01:52:12,260 --> 01:52:22,660
 And so, you know, you don't really like to see the offensive inefficiency that you've seen over the last two games, you know, going into this thing.

1908
01:52:23,420 --> 01:52:29,180
 But, you know, I've got all the confidence in the world and Kalen DeVore, but make no mistake about it.

1909
01:52:29,200 --> 01:52:33,120
 I'm a lot more concerned about this game Saturday than I was the LSU game.

1910
01:52:33,880 --> 01:52:36,200
 Yeah, you mentioned that to us.

1911
01:52:36,320 --> 01:52:42,400
 By the way, tell us, where can we listen to BAM's radio with you and Thomas Watts and Drew DeArmond?

1912
01:52:43,680 --> 01:52:46,460
 I'm guessing you taped it yesterday or either today.

1913
01:52:46,860 --> 01:52:48,720
 Where can we get on radio and hear that?

1914
01:52:49,680 --> 01:52:51,780
 To be honest with you, I really don't know.

1915
01:52:52,880 --> 01:52:58,920
 I think there's a link on Twitter or something like that.

1916
01:52:59,640 --> 01:53:01,380
 You know, Thomas handles all that stuff.

1917
01:53:01,460 --> 01:53:04,740
 I just show up and do the recording on Sunday afternoon.

1918
01:53:04,740 --> 01:53:05,240
 There you go.

1919
01:53:06,120 --> 01:53:09,740
 I really don't know on the back end of it, to be honest with you.

1920
01:53:10,900 --> 01:53:13,800
 Well, that's good because I listen to it quite often.

1921
01:53:13,800 --> 01:53:19,420
 Listen, we always enjoy the Monday visit with you, breaking it down and then previewing the next game.

1922
01:53:19,860 --> 01:53:23,840
 Have a great day and a great week, and hopefully we can do this again with you next Monday.

1923
01:53:24,540 --> 01:53:25,540
 Hey, sounds good, guys.

1924
01:53:25,580 --> 01:53:26,500
 I appreciate it.

1925
01:53:26,760 --> 01:53:27,160
 Absolutely.

1926
01:53:27,440 --> 01:53:30,240
 I hope we're all thawed out by Saturday night as well.

1927
01:53:30,900 --> 01:53:33,100
 B.B., that's going to take care of biz for today.

1928
01:53:33,520 --> 01:53:36,440
 Coming up, it's going to be a very interesting week, a lot to get to,

1929
01:53:36,520 --> 01:53:40,740
 and hopefully you're ready to buckle up and survive this snowstorm tonight.

1930
01:53:40,820 --> 01:53:41,660
 We are ready.

1931
01:53:41,660 --> 01:53:46,480
 By the way, Brian Matthews with Auburn will be with us later in the week.

1932
01:53:46,540 --> 01:53:50,040
 He had a last-minute obligation, and also Ben Thomas.

1933
01:53:50,220 --> 01:53:54,120
 We're going to be talking high school not once but twice tomorrow,

1934
01:53:54,320 --> 01:53:57,060
 so we can get everybody updated about the second round,

1935
01:53:57,480 --> 01:54:01,900
 all of the shows in North Alabama teams who have advanced.

1936
01:54:02,140 --> 01:54:02,780
 Sounds great.

1937
01:54:02,840 --> 01:54:04,220
 That's going to take care of biz for now.

1938
01:54:04,300 --> 01:54:06,740
 On behalf of B.B., Greg, James Blair, the entire crew here.

1939
01:54:06,820 --> 01:54:08,780
 Parole Buck, thank you so much for your time today.

1940
01:54:09,080 --> 01:54:11,460
 Let's do it again tomorrow at noon to two for the Boom on Buck Show.

1941
01:54:11,560 --> 01:54:13,700
 Back here on Sports Radio, 93.9 The Score.

1942
01:54:13,700 --> 01:54:14,700
 We'll see you next time.
