1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,880
 Now, get ready to roll, Shoals, Decatur, Athens and all of Northwest Alabama and Southern Tennessee. It's time for the Valley's exclusive FM Sports Voice.

2
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:29,980
 The Boomo Bugg Show. Your exclusive inside track to the tie, Tigers, Tennessee and the rest of the SEC. Now your host, Harold Bugg on 93.9 The Score.

3
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:41,060
 Good afternoon and welcome in to the Boomo Bugg Show. I'm Harold Bugg alongside Brett Beaird. Thank you so much for giving us free ride around the Tennessee Valley. Brett Beaird, welcome in where?

4
00:00:41,740 --> 00:00:56,820
 Something that hasn't happened since wannabe by the Spice Girls from the SEC. And speaking of the SEC, the message to LSU, here come the judge again. Good afternoon, welcome in and how are you?

5
00:00:56,820 --> 00:01:07,200
 And the listeners, I think you were alluding to the first weekend, Harold Bugg of the SEC. They go 16-0.

6
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:07,980
 Uh-huh.

7
00:01:07,980 --> 00:01:12,520
 The opening weekend of college football, and we'll recap a lot of the highlights.

8
00:01:13,260 --> 00:01:22,340
 Las Vegas insider Bruce Marshall recalms the one-second debacle at Michigan and previews the top games for week two.

9
00:01:22,340 --> 00:01:31,040
 But Roger is here right now to talk about an impressive opening win by the Alabama Crimson Tide.

10
00:01:31,540 --> 00:01:37,180
 Absolutely. I wonder if Roger says when you enter the state of Michigan, you can add one second to your watches and your clocks.

11
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:45,400
 Roger Hoover is the man of the Alabama Crimson Tide network. It doesn't matter what kind of ball you have in football, baseball, basketball, you name it.

12
00:01:45,620 --> 00:01:50,660
 Roger's got game, and he's also with us today to help kick things off. Roger, welcome in. How are you?

13
00:01:51,380 --> 00:01:53,560
 Doing no bug. I'm doing really well. Hope you guys are.

14
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:53,980
 Hey, buddy.

15
00:01:54,160 --> 00:02:01,020
 Man, we're doing all right. Roger, obviously much anticipated. Alabama doing their part to make a little history.

16
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,620
 I'm sure you got your Spice Girls music collection there.

17
00:02:03,740 --> 00:02:08,400
 Wannabe, 1997, the last time the league went 16-0 in the opening weekend.

18
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:14,420
 Alabama doing their part. Roger, much anticipated, brand-new era for a quarterback.

19
00:02:14,700 --> 00:02:17,140
 Where do you start in breaking it down, Professor?

20
00:02:18,300 --> 00:02:21,680
 Yeah, a really good performance. I think two words come to mind.

21
00:02:21,820 --> 00:02:25,920
 First of all, explosive. We saw some big plays from the Alabama offense.

22
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:31,880
 We saw running backs all have kind of double-digit yard runs, when that was really hard to come by for Alabama last year.

23
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:36,600
 Ryan Coleman-Williams, 58-yard catch, and just so dangerous when he gets the ball in space.

24
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,500
 First of all, makes the catch, and then he's able to move downfield.

25
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:41,680
 And Keelan Russell looks explosive.

26
00:02:42,100 --> 00:02:44,000
 Then the other word that comes to mind, sloppy.

27
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,020
 Alabama was sloppy at times.

28
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,060
 You get a penalty on the very first play of the season.

29
00:02:49,540 --> 00:02:51,280
 You only get a field goal that first drive.

30
00:02:51,460 --> 00:02:56,520
 And then coming out of the locker room, didn't have much juice offensively in the third quarter.

31
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:02,620
 So, a few procedural things, you know, a holding penalty takes away what would have been a great touchdown run for Treshaun Brown.

32
00:03:03,100 --> 00:03:07,360
 You know, Ryan Coleman-Williams on a jet sweep, just not seeing the snap properly.

33
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:08,700
 So, that led to a fumble.

34
00:03:08,860 --> 00:03:10,280
 Just little things like that.

35
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,760
 I think this coaching staff kind of enjoys the opportunity to clean up.

36
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:13,980
 Thank you.

37
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:18,420
 Leading into week two, because all coaches kind of love for things to kind of harp on.

38
00:03:18,500 --> 00:03:20,100
 It's nice when you have a comfortable win.

39
00:03:20,220 --> 00:03:22,120
 There are clearly things to clean up.

40
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:26,880
 And you really felt that with Kane Lomack, Ryan Grubb, Kalen DeBoer at the podium yesterday.

41
00:03:27,620 --> 00:03:32,940
 It's almost like they were coming off a five-point win as opposed to, you know, 38 points like it actually was.

42
00:03:33,100 --> 00:03:37,360
 So, I think explosive and sloppy were kind of the two things that take away from it.

43
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:42,320
 And I'm pretty – if I'm an Alabama fan, I'm pretty encouraged that the first word is explosive

44
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:46,340
 and this offense really looked like what we hoped it would look like at times on Saturday.

45
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:47,820
 Roger, careful.

46
00:03:47,900 --> 00:03:48,700
 You're reading my mind.

47
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,380
 That's exactly how it summed it up, too.

48
00:03:50,380 --> 00:03:54,600
 And to your point, I was going to add, too, that I think the coaches were absolutely pleased

49
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:59,220
 to have something – to have a win, convincing win, but also have something to chew on.

50
00:03:59,260 --> 00:04:03,600
 The question is, are these things that can be corrected or is it just first game roughness,

51
00:04:03,660 --> 00:04:06,540
 take the sandpaper and polishing, or is it deeper than that?

52
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:07,880
 To me, that's the question.

53
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,680
 Drop balls, we know that that's one thing Alabama fans said, oh, no, here we go again.

54
00:04:12,740 --> 00:04:13,360
 But then you look.

55
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,700
 He is an enigma in many ways.

56
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,840
 Obviously, he turns around, goes triple digits with a total, makes some hard catches.

57
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:21,120
 In traffic.

58
00:04:21,380 --> 00:04:24,420
 But then that's something Alabama fans are going to be focusing on.

59
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,800
 But your thoughts about just that, are they correctable mistakes is the question.

60
00:04:29,620 --> 00:04:30,620
 Yeah, I believe so.

61
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,880
 Especially everything with Keelan Russell, kind of getting the team organized.

62
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:35,360
 He talked about that postgame.

63
00:04:35,580 --> 00:04:37,260
 He didn't feel like he did a great enough job.

64
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:43,340
 Kind of getting everything organized pre-snap and then getting Alabama into successful winning plays.

65
00:04:43,460 --> 00:04:47,240
 You know, a couple times that he had that one pro where he was over the line of scrimmage.

66
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:48,820
 Just kind of little things like that.

67
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,120
 But I think he knows he can clean up.

68
00:04:51,260 --> 00:04:55,780
 But anything pre-snap, I do feel pretty good will be able to be cleaned up by this team.

69
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:56,800
 I've still got to execute.

70
00:04:56,980 --> 00:04:59,820
 You know, Ryan Colton Williams can't have the drops, can't have a fumble.

71
00:05:00,260 --> 00:05:02,260
 You've got to be careful about things like that.

72
00:05:02,300 --> 00:05:06,240
 But I would say I'm pretty confident Alabama can clean things up.

73
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:12,780
 Because for Keelan, until he got in that environment with 100,000 people in the stands and an actual opponent on the field,

74
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:14,160
 he had never done this before.

75
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:19,240
 So, now he's got four quarters worth of experience leading into this game against Kentucky.

76
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,060
 I think things are only going to get better from here in that regard.

77
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,960
 I like your description of the offense.

78
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:27,180
 Explosive and sloppy.

79
00:05:27,820 --> 00:05:31,080
 I would use kind of clean for the defense.

80
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:40,340
 Three sacks, five tackles for loss, a peak six, forced ECU to go three and out, four drives,

81
00:05:40,860 --> 00:05:45,320
 forced eight punts, held ECU to 162 yards.

82
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,720
 That included that 68-yard bust in the secondary.

83
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,340
 Again, encouraging for the defense, Roger.

84
00:05:54,300 --> 00:05:58,960
 Yeah, and really just one explosive play for the Pirates in the game on some busted coverage

85
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,640
 by an Alabama young guy in Carmelo O'Neal.

86
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:06,060
 He was rotating in, spelling D. John Lee as well as Xavier Brown.

87
00:06:06,300 --> 00:06:10,060
 So, you know, otherwise, Alabama likely wouldn't have given up a field goal in that ball

88
00:06:10,060 --> 00:06:13,140
 or a touchdown at all and just limited the Pirates to three points.

89
00:06:13,260 --> 00:06:16,220
 But they looked physical, especially against the run.

90
00:06:16,220 --> 00:06:18,060
 That was really encouraging to see.

91
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,980
 Petrick Bingley-Jones, Terrence Green, as well as Devin Tompkins.

92
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,320
 Living up to their billing and even players that rotated in later in the game.

93
00:06:25,460 --> 00:06:26,780
 I thought Edrick Hill looked the best.

94
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:31,280
 We've seen him throughout his entire Alabama career, and he's played some meaningful football here.

95
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,760
 So, getting to see him rotate in and make some key stops.

96
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:39,900
 Janze, like you mentioned, getting in the backfield like we want, getting interceptions like we want,

97
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:41,780
 really encouraging signs.

98
00:06:41,980 --> 00:06:44,220
 So, I think this defense is in really good shape.

99
00:06:44,220 --> 00:06:46,720
 And I know we didn't call the name Caleb Woodson.

100
00:06:46,860 --> 00:06:49,420
 Luke met the lot, the inside linebackers on Saturday.

101
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:54,300
 But that is also a sign that they're doing their job getting everybody else positioned the right way

102
00:06:54,300 --> 00:06:56,540
 in the secondary or in the B line to make plays.

103
00:06:57,740 --> 00:07:00,060
 Roger Hoover, check him out, Crimson Tide Network.

104
00:07:00,260 --> 00:07:06,100
 Obviously, Roger, the opening game is in the house, and Alabama feeling much better after the opening game this year

105
00:07:06,100 --> 00:07:07,300
 compared to last year.

106
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,860
 But now you go on the road to Kentucky, and who knows?

107
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,700
 It's the Forrest Gump special who's like a box of chocolates, brand-new coach.

108
00:07:14,780 --> 00:07:17,260
 We know he's cocky going back to the media days.

109
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,780
 A new playbook from where Kentucky's been over the past few years.

110
00:07:21,300 --> 00:07:22,560
 And you're coming in with a quarterback.

111
00:07:22,780 --> 00:07:26,360
 This is his first true road trip, and it's against an SEC opponent.

112
00:07:27,260 --> 00:07:32,180
 Your thoughts, Alabama said, according to Vegas, they should win by double digits, 10-and-a-half.

113
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:33,780
 That's what Vegas say.

114
00:07:33,900 --> 00:07:35,080
 What does Roger Hoover say?

115
00:07:36,180 --> 00:07:37,960
 I think it's going to be a tight ballgame.

116
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:42,180
 I think Kentucky is going to throw absolutely everything they have at Alabama.

117
00:07:42,180 --> 00:07:46,600
 And, you know, they were explosive in their own right the last week against Youngstown State.

118
00:07:46,860 --> 00:07:51,420
 Granted, that's the F school, but a program that has been near the top of that level.

119
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,540
 But kind of all over the place, throwing the football with Kenny Minchie, running the football,

120
00:07:55,700 --> 00:07:58,260
 and a lot of different options, they looked really good.

121
00:07:58,300 --> 00:08:01,980
 And they also used a tight end in a really explosive way downfield.

122
00:08:02,260 --> 00:08:05,300
 So, I mean, Alabama defensively is going to have a team full.

123
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,100
 And then for the offense, for the Crimson Tide, it's going to really, to me,

124
00:08:09,140 --> 00:08:11,260
 come down to execution by this offense.

125
00:08:11,260 --> 00:08:12,920
 Can they play some clean football?

126
00:08:13,140 --> 00:08:15,680
 Keelan Russell is going to make three great plays.

127
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:20,180
 Don't have one play that's going to take away from the greatness that he just did on a drive.

128
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:25,320
 And I felt like Alabama did a really good job running with the football and just extending drives.

129
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:31,060
 You know, if you have a six-yard gain on second and four, just hand the ball off to E.J. Crowell, Daniel Hill.

130
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:32,920
 Get those five yards to move the chance.

131
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:34,500
 You know, it doesn't have to be.

132
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:39,460
 You know, Alabama just seemed like last year in third down and long constantly throughout August.

133
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:41,680
 I didn't see that as much this past week.

134
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,100
 And we know with the competition, it's going to get tougher in the next few weeks.

135
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,280
 So, that would be something to keep an eye on.

136
00:08:47,340 --> 00:08:52,600
 Can Alabama still be getting into second and manageable downs and just avoiding those dreaded third and long?

137
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:53,920
 Because that's what kills drive.

138
00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:56,980
 So, that's what I'm really looking for on the opposite side of the ball.

139
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:02,180
 And then just it's a loud place to play when Kentucky fans are bought in.

140
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,660
 And right now, the Kentucky fans are bought in.

141
00:09:05,060 --> 00:09:05,240
 Yep.

142
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,460
 Yeah, because, you know, he's a son of a former player there.

143
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:10,220
 There's going to be a lot of enthusiasm.

144
00:09:10,660 --> 00:09:15,140
 And Kentucky fans really care about football in September and October.

145
00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:18,260
 Not as much in November once basketball starts a rough arena.

146
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,920
 They start running to the arena as fast as they can from football games.

147
00:09:22,060 --> 00:09:25,680
 So, this is the time that Kentucky football is kind of alive and well.

148
00:09:25,780 --> 00:09:31,160
 And Alabama's got to bring its own energy to make sure they're able to match what will be a great atmosphere on Saturday.

149
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,660
 Roger, let me add special teams.

150
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,800
 I thought they had a very solid day.

151
00:09:37,020 --> 00:09:41,480
 Connor Talti, two field goals from 41 and 21.

152
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,580
 Two punts for 51 yards per punt.

153
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,880
 Coleman Williams, 23-yard return.

154
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,260
 Quinn kicked three.

155
00:09:51,380 --> 00:09:53,480
 I know three went out of the end zone.

156
00:09:53,660 --> 00:09:54,820
 One of them went out of the end zone.

157
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:56,740
 The other two were deep in the end zone.

158
00:09:57,060 --> 00:09:58,820
 Pretty good day for special teams.

159
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:00,280
 I think so.

160
00:10:00,420 --> 00:10:04,640
 You know, there was kind of that only one moment that John Lee, Rico Scott, weren't sure who were going to take it.

161
00:10:04,780 --> 00:10:06,640
 And then Rico kind of took it away from John.

162
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,440
 You don't like that miscommunication.

163
00:10:08,740 --> 00:10:10,320
 But otherwise, very solid.

164
00:10:10,500 --> 00:10:14,920
 Especially Ryan was calling for fair catches on punts pretty much all the second half.

165
00:10:15,020 --> 00:10:17,380
 So, he wouldn't lose a football or get injured.

166
00:10:17,500 --> 00:10:18,200
 So, that was good.

167
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,600
 But, yeah, looking very impressed by Lorcan Quinn on the kickoff.

168
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,500
 Connor Talti on the field goals.

169
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:28,300
 And, man, it's great to see what competition can do for a spot like that.

170
00:10:28,300 --> 00:10:31,620
 And you have to feel good if there's an injury at either one of those spots.

171
00:10:32,060 --> 00:10:33,640
 Alabama's got somebody good to come in.

172
00:10:33,860 --> 00:10:36,500
 And, you know, Alex Burujov just finished off the unit.

173
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:38,120
 He only had two punts.

174
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:39,740
 But one of them is for 54 yards.

175
00:10:39,820 --> 00:10:41,160
 The average is 52 on the day.

176
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,940
 So, that's a solid start to the season from that group.

177
00:10:45,020 --> 00:10:47,580
 Obviously, all offseason, a couple of questions.

178
00:10:47,680 --> 00:10:49,340
 We kind of touched on it at this point.

179
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,240
 That is, what about the running back room?

180
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:55,580
 I thought E.J. Crowell had flashes of his billing coming out of high school.

181
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:57,560
 And then the offensive line.

182
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:03,800
 If we focus a little bit more on that, your thoughts as far as grading the line in game one?

183
00:11:04,780 --> 00:11:07,840
 I'm probably getting a B-minus, B-plus kind of in that area.

184
00:11:08,020 --> 00:11:14,500
 Obviously, the penalties were tough, either Brayson Delgatti or the one that was obviously called back.

185
00:11:15,140 --> 00:11:20,520
 I can't remember, I'll stop my head, who had that penalty, the holding call that took away the Trashon Brown touchdown.

186
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,460
 But, you know, little things like that can certainly hurt this team.

187
00:11:24,700 --> 00:11:25,960
 But otherwise, that's awesome.

188
00:11:26,060 --> 00:11:30,680
 Good push and physical play against some really good dives for East Carolina.

189
00:11:30,680 --> 00:11:34,980
 Maybe their talent isn't quite there to turn to the SEC, but their size is.

190
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:36,920
 And we looked at those guys on paper.

191
00:11:37,140 --> 00:11:41,540
 So, I thought Alabama's line moved the ball really well all throughout that ball game.

192
00:11:41,680 --> 00:11:46,860
 It's just cleaning up some of the little mistakes, kind of part of the larger issue for Alabama this past Saturday.

193
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:48,100
 And I'm encouraged.

194
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,420
 After one game, now we just got to see it against an SEC defensive line.

195
00:11:52,120 --> 00:12:00,540
 Rayson Delgatti was the offensive lineman that got called on a very questionable holding penalty, Roger.

196
00:12:00,540 --> 00:12:06,680
 Again, even the broadcaster said, Matt Austin said, that's not a penalty.

197
00:12:07,140 --> 00:12:09,100
 Oh, my goodness gracious.

198
00:12:09,680 --> 00:12:17,520
 Crimson Drive, Levi Wallace, the great Bama and NFL great guest on your show, Jackson Lloyd.

199
00:12:18,060 --> 00:12:23,020
 Last night was Crimson Tide Rewind with you and Tyler Watts.

200
00:12:23,500 --> 00:12:25,520
 Hey, coach, coming up tomorrow night.

201
00:12:26,060 --> 00:12:29,040
 Then a trip to Bluegrass Country on Saturday.

202
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:30,540
 Tell us about your week.

203
00:12:31,180 --> 00:12:33,520
 Yeah, we've got all those shows coming up.

204
00:12:33,580 --> 00:12:36,660
 Just follow us at UA underscore TPSN for the latest.

205
00:12:36,860 --> 00:12:39,120
 It's going to be a really busy week of content that you mentioned.

206
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,740
 From the Crimson Tide football team, I've talked with Jackson Boyd.

207
00:12:42,820 --> 00:12:45,320
 And then Justin Hill is from the Cincinnati area.

208
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,040
 He'll be joining me on Thursday.

209
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:51,700
 So, really good conversations with those guys that are learning more about preseason camp

210
00:12:51,700 --> 00:12:53,820
 and the start to the season for Alabama.

211
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,360
 But, otherwise, yeah, looking forward to making the trip to Kentucky.

212
00:12:57,540 --> 00:13:01,860
 Again, nice to go up there when it's not, you know, 15 degrees it always feels like.

213
00:13:01,860 --> 00:13:02,160
 Yes.

214
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,800
 When Alabama's got a game at Kentucky in football, it's going to be nice.

215
00:13:06,020 --> 00:13:07,880
 But this is a huge game for Alabama.

216
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:13,860
 This is something where I think everybody's a little hesitant based on how that first road trip went last year

217
00:13:13,860 --> 00:13:15,200
 against Florida State.

218
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,000
 You know, Alabama's got the talent advantage.

219
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:18,280
 He's got to go out and execute.

220
00:13:18,700 --> 00:13:22,380
 I think this is a really good challenge and something this team needs early in the season.

221
00:13:22,560 --> 00:13:24,680
 So, can't wait to see how it shakes out on Saturday.

222
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:25,880
 Hey, man.

223
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:26,820
 Roger, you're tough.

224
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,700
 You survived record heat in Tuscaloosa.

225
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,640
 Anything will be cooler on your road show in Kentucky.

226
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:33,900
 Safe travels to and from, buddy.

227
00:13:33,940 --> 00:13:35,020
 And thanks for your time today.

228
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:36,520
 You guys are the best.

229
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:36,980
 Thanks for having me on.

230
00:13:36,980 --> 00:13:37,440
 Thank you, Boone.

231
00:13:37,860 --> 00:13:41,060
 The Roger, Roger Hoover of Crimson Tide Sports Network.

232
00:13:41,260 --> 00:13:42,160
 What about Auburn?

233
00:13:43,460 --> 00:13:45,320
 Do tiger fans have any fingernails left?

234
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:46,380
 Cold pinks on that and more.

235
00:13:46,460 --> 00:13:46,820
 Straight ahead.

236
00:13:46,860 --> 00:13:47,380
 Stay with us.

237
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:55,400
 It's summertime in the Shoals, which means sunshine, hot weather, and a lot more bugs.

238
00:13:55,920 --> 00:14:00,000
 Ants, mosquitoes, termites, they love this time of year just as much as we do.

 Our famous dogs and smash burgers are here to stay, and you must try the new Mug's Fried

 Chicken Sandwich or the Caesar's Lemon Blackout Wrap.

256
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:08,580
 It wouldn't be game day without loaded nachos with jalapenos and buckets of cold beer.

257
00:15:09,100 --> 00:15:13,520
 Also, every Saturday, enjoy $3.00 Mimosas and $5.00 Bloody Marys from 11 to 3.

 And remember, Mugshot's is the U&A on the Road watch party place.

259
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:21,100
 Happy hour is Monday through Friday, 2 to 6 at Mugshot's Grill & Bar.

260
00:15:21,420 --> 00:15:25,680
 Great food, cold drinks, and your game day headquarters in historic downtown Florence.

261
00:15:26,500 --> 00:15:28,420
 All right, grab some buds and listen up.

262
00:15:29,140 --> 00:15:30,360
 Grilling season's here.

263
00:15:30,860 --> 00:15:32,980
 Now we find out what we're made of.

264
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,800
 Are we going to fold under pressure and overcook the burgers?

265
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:40,540
 Or are we going to nail the carne asada and the brisket and pack the coolers with ice-cold

266
00:15:40,540 --> 00:15:41,780
 Budweiser and Bud Light?

267
00:15:41,980 --> 00:15:43,540
 Because that's the difference.

268
00:15:43,820 --> 00:15:48,480
 Between winning and losing, between flipping burgers, and grilling like a pro.

269
00:15:49,420 --> 00:15:52,080
 This summer, grill like a pro with Bud and Bud Light.

270
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:53,000

 Please make me a doctor's appointment.

323
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,380
 Okay, are you suffering from diarrhea,

324
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,220
 bloating, gas, or oily stools?

325
00:18:06,220 --> 00:18:10,080
 If so, you may want to ask your doctor if it could actually be a problem with your pancreas,

326
00:18:10,180 --> 00:18:13,080
 called exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, or EPI.

327
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:13,900
 My pancreas?

328
00:18:14,100 --> 00:18:14,960
 How is EPI treated?

329
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,500
 A prescription medicine like Creon, pancrelipase,

330
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,620
 is used to treat people who can't digest food normally

331
00:18:19,620 --> 00:18:21,620
 because their pancreas doesn't make enough enzymes.

332
00:18:21,940 --> 00:18:24,180
 Creon is the number one prescribed treatment for EPI.

333
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,540
 Creon may increase your chance of fibrosing colonopathy, a rare bowel disorder.

334
00:18:27,740 --> 00:18:31,380
 Tell your doctor if you have a history of intestinal blockage or scarring or thickening of your bowel wall,

335
00:18:31,460 --> 00:18:35,520
 if you are allergic to pork, or if you have gout, kidney problems, or worsening of painful swollen joints.

336
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:39,760
 Call your doctor if you have any unusual or severe gastrointestinal symptoms or allergic reactions.

337
00:18:40,060 --> 00:18:42,460
 Take Creon as directed by your doctor and always with food.

338
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,780
 Do not chew capsules, as this may cause mouth irritation.

339
00:18:44,780 --> 00:18:49,080
 Other side effects may include blood sugar changes, gas, dizziness, sore throat, and cough.

340
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:50,700
 These are not all the side effects of Creon.

350
00:19:17,420 --> 00:19:18,140
 Welcome back in.

351
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:23,500
 Cole Pinkson says, what's all this talk about a game in hot temperatures, the first week of playing the SEC?

352
00:19:23,900 --> 00:19:27,240
 He says it was about 72 in perfect conditions where he was.

353
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:32,400
 Cole Pinkson all over the Auburn Tigers there at AuburnSports.com, part of the Yon3.com family.

354
00:19:32,540 --> 00:19:33,580
 Cole, welcome in.

355
00:19:33,660 --> 00:19:34,280
 How are you?

356
00:19:35,300 --> 00:19:35,920
 Yes, sir.

357
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:36,460
 Doing good.

358
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,960
 Man, I'm just happy to cover an Auburn win.

359
00:19:39,420 --> 00:19:40,180
 Tell you what.

360
00:19:40,460 --> 00:19:40,880
 Yes.

361
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:41,720
 Oh, man.

362
00:19:41,900 --> 00:19:46,440
 The question is, Cole, do you or any Auburn fans have any fingernails left after that game?

363
00:19:48,120 --> 00:19:51,200
 Yeah, no, it was a nail-biter, wasn't it?

364
00:19:51,260 --> 00:19:52,780
 I mean, it came down to the last play.

365
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,860
 Honestly, it really did.

366
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:57,320
 There were so many back and forth.

367
00:19:57,420 --> 00:20:04,140
 I thought both teams, you really don't know where they both stand as far as how good they'll be this year based off of that game.

368
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:05,740
 But you do know that Auburn.

369
00:20:05,740 --> 00:20:10,300
 But you do know that Auburn found a way to win where they have it so many, many times in the last couple years.

370
00:20:10,300 --> 00:20:18,840
 And that's, I think, if you're, you know, irritated by the game or whatever as an Auburn fan, you should probably take that away first and then work from there.

371
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:29,040
 Yeah, Cole, talk to us because everybody, every fan base across the country has a certain level of expectations and thoughts and, if you will, questions about a team before the season.

372
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:30,860
 Some are high, some are low, some are in between.

373
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:40,360
 Now that we have game one in the books, how does what we have seen with live bullets, if you will, flying over the heads, meet what you expected from this team coming into game one?

374
00:20:42,180 --> 00:20:46,580
 Honestly, I feel as though I had a lot of things pegged.

375
00:20:47,700 --> 00:20:48,260
 I do.

376
00:20:48,260 --> 00:20:54,780
 I think that I was right about the offensive line and the struggles that they might have, especially running the football.

377
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,880
 I felt like they would do that a little better against the Stadler defensive line.

378
00:20:58,020 --> 00:21:01,620
 And I'm telling you, the defensive lines only get better from here.

379
00:21:02,100 --> 00:21:03,640
 So that's a concern.

380
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,240
 You know, pass rush was my other big concern.

381
00:21:06,360 --> 00:21:08,620
 I think we talked about on this show when y'all had me.

382
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,020
 And it wasn't terrible.

383
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:15,100
 They didn't get, they only got to the quarterback once, but the ball was coming out fast on purpose.

384
00:21:15,940 --> 00:21:21,660
 And they, you know, mixed up the blitz and zone looks and dropped into max zones and did that.

385
00:21:21,660 --> 00:21:26,880
 But just, you know, they got to get home a little bit better on the pass rush.

386
00:21:27,020 --> 00:21:28,240
 They need to find the guy.

387
00:21:28,500 --> 00:21:33,620
 They need to get Jared Smith more pinning his ears back and less dropping in coverage all the time

388
00:21:33,620 --> 00:21:37,420
 and get out of a game like that where you're playing against this air raid offense.

389
00:21:38,220 --> 00:21:41,160
 So at the end of the day, you get out, you escape a game like that with a win.

390
00:21:41,220 --> 00:21:46,260
 It's such a big deal for me because of what it is when you really look at the game within the game.

391
00:21:46,260 --> 00:21:54,300
 But the run blocking by the offensive line and the pass rush on defense, those are the two things I had big concerns about.

392
00:21:54,540 --> 00:21:56,560
 And they showed up a little bit in this game.

393
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,260
 Five sacks, 11 tackles, four loss.

394
00:22:00,580 --> 00:22:06,320
 The Auburn running game average, 3.2 yards rush, three interceptions.

395
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:11,560
 You can't sugarcoat that, but nobody knows offensive line performance better than you.

396
00:22:11,660 --> 00:22:12,400
 You played it.

397
00:22:12,500 --> 00:22:13,420
 You've coached it.

398
00:22:13,900 --> 00:22:16,120
 And we've talked about this throughout the summer.

399
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,620
 There are going to be some bumps in the road and they will continue to be.

400
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:25,800
 I'll say this, the Baylor defensive line to me is much improved over what it was last year.

401
00:22:25,860 --> 00:22:27,200
 And they caused some havoc.

402
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:29,680
 Jacob Strand did not play well.

403
00:22:29,780 --> 00:22:33,180
 Cole Skinner, but they only had 16 career starts.

404
00:22:34,120 --> 00:22:36,540
 Ellis Jack Lyre came in.

405
00:22:36,540 --> 00:22:41,040
 Lyre, particularly on Byron Brown's game-winning touchdown, had a very good block.

406
00:22:41,620 --> 00:22:45,080
 Will there be any changes going into Southern Miss?

407
00:22:46,120 --> 00:22:47,420
 I don't think so.

408
00:22:47,500 --> 00:22:50,260
 I think they're going to continue to put Strand out there first.

409
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:52,580
 Now, we might see Lyre more.

410
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,480
 I think if you do see another guard, it's probably Lyre.

411
00:22:55,700 --> 00:22:57,460
 Jack Lyre from Stanford.

412
00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:58,680
 Trenton first there.

413
00:22:59,740 --> 00:23:02,520
 He did have a very nice block on that last play.

414
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:03,980
 So did Jake Johnson.

415
00:23:04,140 --> 00:23:05,260
 So did Jeremiah Cobb.

416
00:23:05,580 --> 00:23:07,020
 I mean, it was a well-blocked play.

417
00:23:07,300 --> 00:23:07,920
 That's the thing.

418
00:23:08,500 --> 00:23:10,800
 I thought that they got stronger as the game went on.

419
00:23:10,820 --> 00:23:12,260
 They started executing much better.

420
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:13,800
 The offensive line did.

421
00:23:14,140 --> 00:23:15,320
 Yes, there were five sacks.

422
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:23,540
 I think at least one or two of those was maybe on your quarterback or potentially the play call and having one or two reads where you don't have much of an outlet.

423
00:23:24,740 --> 00:23:31,920
 I thought pass protection was a little better than I expected, even though those numbers say maybe it wasn't, but they gave him time.

424
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:42,000
 I felt like Bob and Brown had time to deliberate more than a few times, which I couldn't say that for the last year's group, which had two NFL draft picks on it, by the way.

425
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,460
 I'm not so sure this one does, but as a unit, they're playing better together.

426
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,520
 Cole Payson got the Auburn Tigers covered there at auburnsports.com.

427
00:23:51,640 --> 00:24:00,740
 Cole, we talked earlier about breaking it down with some of our friends from Alabama's coaches dream you win the game, but there's plenty to chew on after game one, and you know that's the case here with Auburn.

428
00:24:01,120 --> 00:24:02,300
 What will they learn this week?

429
00:24:02,380 --> 00:24:05,600
 Because, I mean, there's no way of putting it, except just telling it like it is.

430
00:24:05,660 --> 00:24:07,720
 This is not a formidable opponent in Southern Miss.

431
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:08,960
 They lost their team to Memphis.

432
00:24:09,700 --> 00:24:12,540
 Everything is brand new coming in from Hattiesburg.

433
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:14,920
 I think Auburn's favored by 30-plus.

434
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:16,080
 That's on paper.

435
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:23,200
 So, after last week's performance and a chance to sit here and break out the polishing rag, it's a great game for Auburn to do that.

436
00:24:23,260 --> 00:24:25,800
 But your thoughts as far as heading into this game with the Golden Eagles?

437
00:24:27,340 --> 00:24:34,860
 Yeah, it's a game that I think should look on the scoreboard probably like Alabama's did against East Carolina.

438
00:24:35,340 --> 00:24:37,500
 You want it to look like that, lopsided.

439
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:46,940
 You know, clean up the run game, get to where you're averaging a lot more than 3.2 a carry in a game like this.

440
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:48,840
 Lean on that a little bit.

441
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:55,320
 I'd say you work on some of these progressions that Auburn Brown was maybe a little late on, give him some more game reps than that.

442
00:24:55,860 --> 00:24:57,320
 But, you know, score early and often.

443
00:24:57,420 --> 00:24:58,400
 I think you run your game.

444
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,960
 You don't pull back on the reins just because it's a lesser opponent.

445
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,740
 I'd like to see them start a lot faster in this game.

446
00:25:06,220 --> 00:25:08,480
 Let me ask you, who called you, Ryan?

447
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:14,480
 We could ask you about 20 players, but you have targeted a lot of these guys.

448
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,160
 We talked about it during the summer.

449
00:25:16,360 --> 00:25:20,600
 Who actually, as far as very positive performances, called your eye?

450
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:26,800
 I would start, just to start on the offensive side, I think Keyshawn Singleton really impressed me.

451
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,160
 He's physically well put together.

452
00:25:30,540 --> 00:25:32,040
 They had a hard time tackling him.

453
00:25:32,120 --> 00:25:32,760
 He got open.

454
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:34,520
 He caught the football well.

455
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:42,140
 He had a really important catch going down on the ground that was low and made a very impressive catch on there to keep the chains moving.

456
00:25:42,980 --> 00:25:43,780
 Start with him.

457
00:25:44,180 --> 00:25:46,160
 I thought Jake Johnson did some good things.

458
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:51,020
 The tight end, he blocked well and caught the ball and thrown to all of that's good.

459
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:57,240
 Really, Omar Mabson, I thought, was a spark on offense when he got a few carries.

460
00:25:57,580 --> 00:26:00,980
 I'd love to see more Bryce from Washington, but Mabson stood out to me.

461
00:26:01,100 --> 00:26:03,660
 And Cobb, you kind of know what to expect from him at this point.

462
00:26:04,740 --> 00:26:08,520
 And Stanton Ramil on offense, I thought, had a great game.

463
00:26:08,900 --> 00:26:11,420
 I didn't see much wrong with his game when watching it back.

464
00:26:12,340 --> 00:26:14,040
 Defensively, I'd go Chris Murray first.

465
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:17,000
 Chris Murray had a great game against the run.

466
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:18,560
 I think he was Auburn's best run defender.

467
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,780
 By what I saw, I really liked Elijah Melendez.

468
00:26:22,860 --> 00:26:23,960
 I really liked Eric Winters.

469
00:26:25,540 --> 00:26:28,740
 So, Cole, obviously you listen to a lot of Auburn fans.

470
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:35,140
 What are they saying about this team now as far as getting a feel for a win-loss total for the season?

471
00:26:35,140 --> 00:26:43,500
 We know maybe outside of a few fan bases, most fans are going to say, well, they didn't live up to my expectations, regardless of the score, unless you're maybe LSU.

472
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,620
 What are, in general, Auburn fans saying about this team now?

473
00:26:48,940 --> 00:26:52,040
 Well, it's not a unanimous either way.

474
00:26:52,120 --> 00:26:57,520
 I wouldn't say it's unanimous, hey, this was terrible, and I wouldn't say it was a unanimous, wow, it was really good.

475
00:26:57,860 --> 00:26:58,420
 Wait and see.

476
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:00,340
 Right, right.

477
00:27:00,380 --> 00:27:01,640
 I think it's somewhere down the middle.

478
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,040
 You have some optimism from a lot of things that you saw.

479
00:27:05,700 --> 00:27:12,820
 And then you have, you know, you're worried about moving forward and playing better opponents, because there are better opponents on Auburn's schedule than Baylor.

480
00:27:13,780 --> 00:27:15,840
 And I think that's the biggest takeaway.

481
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:20,480
 What is this team going to look like against an LSU, against a Florida, against an Alabama, Georgia?

482
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:21,900
 And they've got to play them all.

483
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,660
 And do they have enough talent to make it through those games is the question.

484
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:26,520
 Absolutely.

485
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:32,360

 Do you have any specials on Auburn sports?

489
00:27:42,420 --> 00:27:46,340

 Yeah, our actual 75% special just ran up, so you missed that one.

 and who exceeded your expectations after the opening, first big, anyway, opening act?

646
00:36:44,460 --> 00:36:51,740
 Yeah, to the last part first, a little rant I'll go in here, but LSU and Miami were the two teams that really stuck out to me,

647
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,640
 that really impressed me last week, especially LSU.

648
00:36:55,340 --> 00:37:02,420
 The rant part of it, back to that Michigan thing, you know, the Big Ten, the optics of that are so bad,

649
00:37:02,900 --> 00:37:08,120
 and they didn't even realize they contradicted themselves when they came out with that eventual statement

650
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:12,620
 and that other supposed video they had that showed one second left when they're talking about

651
00:37:12,620 --> 00:37:18,860
 how all the clocks in the stadium are synced, the TV clock, the stadium clock, the play clock,

652
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,720
 the Big Ten clock, they're all supposed to be saying the same thing.

653
00:37:22,260 --> 00:37:30,540
 So then how come there's one clock out there that supposedly has, you know, still a second left on the clock?

654
00:37:30,620 --> 00:37:32,900
 If everything's supposed to be synced, well, obviously they weren't.

655
00:37:33,940 --> 00:37:36,540
 So, I mean, the optic is bad now.

656
00:37:36,700 --> 00:37:40,040
 Western Michigan, blame itself for letting that Hail Mary get completed.

657
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,400
 There's no reason a Hail Mary should ever be completed in college football.

658
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:48,040
 You can, if you think it's going to be caught, interference will cost you 15 yards.

659
00:37:48,500 --> 00:37:50,040
 Then Michigan's bottoming from the 30.

660
00:37:50,140 --> 00:37:51,520
 I mean, it's still very remote.

661
00:37:52,020 --> 00:37:53,540
 But they should not have had that.

662
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:57,640
 And I'm a little disappointed that Western Michigan and the MAAC just sort of rolled over here

663
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,120
 and said, okay, that's okay, Big Ten.

664
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:02,580
 You know, it's just the optics of that are very bad.

665
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:06,460
 Watching these games, though, I thought, you know, last night,

666
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:10,960
 it was very refreshing almost watching SMU and Florida State.

667
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:11,520
 Yes.

668
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,300
 Even though they didn't have all the lights working there, but there was no replay.

669
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:16,480
 And you think about it.

670
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:26,040
 Now, how much time that is wasting now with the referees, what these challenges and the referees have to go over.

671
00:38:26,140 --> 00:38:31,080
 Maybe I'm spoiled watching Major League Baseball get these strike calls within like 10 seconds.

672
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:36,720
 But it's worse than what FIFA has with its VAR, the way college football is doing it,

673
00:38:36,740 --> 00:38:38,280
 with the refs always having to go over.

674
00:38:38,340 --> 00:38:40,540
 They've got to get set up to look at the play over again.

675
00:38:41,660 --> 00:38:45,600
 College football made a decision several years ago to speed up the games,

676
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:49,060
 and this is what they've done with the play clock and all that, all for the TV window.

677
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:51,960
 But this stuff with the referees goes back.

678
00:38:52,020 --> 00:38:53,720
 You are adding so much extra time.

679
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:58,040
 They have defeated the whole purpose of getting into that TV window by all these challenges.

680
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:00,380
 A couple other thoughts.

681
00:39:00,700 --> 00:39:03,080
 The analytics stuff is driving me nuts now.

682
00:39:03,260 --> 00:39:05,820
 It's always ESPN analytics, fourth and three, you go.

683
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:12,040
 I mean, in what lifetime if you're in your own half of the field in the first half

684
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:18,460
 and it's fourth and three and you're going for it, you know, the whole analytics model, I think,

685
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:21,160
 is just based on a faulty set.

686
00:39:21,240 --> 00:39:22,620
 This is my interpretation of it.

687
00:39:23,140 --> 00:39:29,660
 And it's got to be more than, is there better than a 50% chance you will succeed on the play?

688
00:39:29,740 --> 00:39:32,240
 That seems to be the whole analytic rationale.

689
00:39:32,500 --> 00:39:37,540
 But what happens if you, the outcome of the game, how it changes if you miss?

690
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:41,200
 You're turning the ball over in your own half of the field.

691
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:44,300
 And it's also on these two-point conversion things.

692
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:48,220
 I mean, now when you're down 15, you score late to get within nine.

693
00:39:48,340 --> 00:39:49,900
 In the fourth quarter, you go for two.

694
00:39:50,540 --> 00:39:52,780
 Well, if you miss it, it's still a two-score game.

695
00:39:53,660 --> 00:39:56,420
 You know, it's like that doesn't figure into the equation.

696
00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:04,900
 And lastly, the short yardage offenses, I watched an SMU last night, you know, for several times.

697
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,780
 And Florida State, I mean, third and one, third and two feet.

698
00:40:08,940 --> 00:40:13,040
 You're doing a seven-foot snap, a seven-yard snap.

699
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:13,440
 Yes.

700
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:15,020
 Back to your quarterback.

701
00:40:15,420 --> 00:40:15,840
 Thank you.

702
00:40:16,060 --> 00:40:17,360
 With one back in the backfield.

703
00:40:17,580 --> 00:40:17,820
 Yep.

704
00:40:17,980 --> 00:40:23,180
 I wanted to show these guys, let's go back, let's watch Ohio State when Woody Hayes was there,

705
00:40:23,720 --> 00:40:26,040
 running the full house backfield in short yardage.

706
00:40:26,180 --> 00:40:29,960
 You know, Jim Otis, his great fullback, never lost a yard.

707
00:40:30,580 --> 00:40:33,220
 Never lost a yard in a college football carry.

708
00:40:34,100 --> 00:40:36,040
 Because they blocked for him.

709
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,240
 And they put guys in the backfield to block.

710
00:40:38,240 --> 00:40:41,620
 It is so maddening to watch some of this stuff.

711
00:40:43,060 --> 00:40:47,120
 And that, you know, maybe because I'm so old now, I remember the way I used to be,

712
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:48,420
 but a lot of the stuff I don't like.

713
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:51,920
 Here's the thing, I mean, Bruce, if they're going to go by analytics,

714
00:40:52,060 --> 00:40:53,140
 why don't I pay a coach $10 million?

715
00:40:53,620 --> 00:40:57,740
 Just have a GA over there with a laptop say that, well, guys,

716
00:40:57,840 --> 00:40:59,560
 here's what the computer says, do it.

717
00:40:59,700 --> 00:41:00,960
 Save the money for head coach.

718
00:41:02,140 --> 00:41:03,020
 Yeah, that's right.

719
00:41:03,460 --> 00:41:04,120
 That's right.

720
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:05,840
 I mean, that's all he's doing, is parenting.

721
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:08,960
 Yeah, I mean, he's just looking at the analytics chart.

722
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,200
 I mean, it's all so skewed there.

723
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:17,060
 One other thought, I mean, I saw more egregious penalties this weekend.

724
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:18,920
 I mean, in clutch spots.

725
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:22,440
 I mean, changes of possession, fourth downs.

726
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:25,720
 They're asking you at an offside in a field goal try last night.

727
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:29,340
 And the way the refs are throwing some of these flags now, I mean,

728
00:41:29,380 --> 00:41:32,040
 all the quarterbacks have to do, run to the sidelines, stand there,

729
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:35,920
 one little touch by a defensive back, and they're going to call a penalty.

730
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:41,500
 I saw more just, you know, maybe the refs would get into it, too,

731
00:41:41,580 --> 00:41:46,740
 but just too much, the inanity of the refereeing is starting to bother me now, too.

732
00:41:47,340 --> 00:41:53,880
 The SEC goes 16-0, first time the league's gone undefeated since 1997.

733
00:41:54,460 --> 00:41:56,500
 Of course, they've got more teams in there now.

734
00:41:56,880 --> 00:42:02,860
 Pretty much the other 14 games were routes, which we had guessed that.

735
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:06,760
 Ole Miss kicks a field goal against Louisville to win the game.

736
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:12,680
 Auburn stops Baylor literally on the goal line with a two-point conversion.

737
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:16,340
 I thought Baylor, their defensive line was much better.

738
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:18,680
 Alabama looks impressive.

739
00:42:18,900 --> 00:42:21,780
 Certainly looks sloppy at times, but explosive.

740
00:42:23,020 --> 00:42:27,440
 The freshman quarterbacks, quite impressive at Alabama and Tennessee.

741
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:31,220
 Your thoughts on the weekend for the SEC?

742
00:42:32,180 --> 00:42:36,640
 Yeah, a lot of positives there, and they ended up winning all these games,

743
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,580
 and Ole Miss, that was sure a thriller on a Sunday night.

744
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:44,260
 But, yeah, some of these, the freshman quarterbacks really, you know,

745
00:42:44,260 --> 00:42:46,520
 I think we have to make a note on the new quarterbacks there,

746
00:42:46,620 --> 00:42:50,880
 and we talked about Keelan Russell, but I'll tell you what,

747
00:42:50,940 --> 00:42:55,180
 I'll give Josh Heupel credit, too, because for much of the summer,

748
00:42:55,300 --> 00:42:59,620
 nobody was really talking about Faison Brandon being the guy,

749
00:43:00,060 --> 00:43:02,060
 but he certainly is.

750
00:43:02,620 --> 00:43:05,440
 And, you know, McIntyre got a few snaps late,

751
00:43:05,940 --> 00:43:09,240
 but this is Brandon's team, and that was a bold move by Heupel,

752
00:43:09,240 --> 00:43:11,840
 and this kid looks absolutely dynamite.

753
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:16,440
 So they're going to be in the mix, I think, too.

754
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:21,100
 Oklahoma, you know, sometimes they get shuffled to the back,

755
00:43:21,260 --> 00:43:24,680
 and here they go out, and they look at 51-0.

756
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:26,620
 McIntyre looks really good.

757
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:29,580
 Even, you know, teams that we sort of forgot about last year,

758
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:31,880
 like Shane Beamer at South Carolina.

759
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:34,160
 This time last year, everybody was talking about South Carolina,

760
00:43:34,300 --> 00:43:36,060
 and it became sort of an afterthought.

761
00:43:36,700 --> 00:43:39,380
 But they opened up their season really impressively, too,

762
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:42,320
 and not the beating Kent State is that much,

763
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:44,580
 but the way they did it was very impressive.

764
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:47,080
 Lenora Sellers had a great game.

765
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:52,340
 So, I mean, there's a lot of things positive coming out of the league this week.

766
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:54,800
 Bruce Marshall again.

767
00:43:54,940 --> 00:43:55,480
 Check him out.

768
00:43:55,540 --> 00:43:57,980
 Goals cheat out in a place called Las Vegas.

769
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:00,240
 Bruce, the SEC says,

770
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:02,580
 Lane, here's the deal, man.

771
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,880
 Here comes the judge again threatening to throw him out of the league,

772
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:07,120
 divorce LSU.

773
00:44:07,620 --> 00:44:09,400
 How much of this is just posturing?

774
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:11,100
 How much of this is a real deal?

775
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:14,740
 The powers that be supposed to get together Thursday with a judge

776
00:44:14,740 --> 00:44:16,200
 and find out the latest round.

777
00:44:16,580 --> 00:44:19,900
 Your thoughts about that, and has Lane just basically said,

778
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:21,240
 you know what, screw it.

779
00:44:21,260 --> 00:44:24,060
 I'm just going to go out there and just, I'm going to shut down if I can,

780
00:44:24,100 --> 00:44:26,420
 the air conditioning in the busy room, make life miserable.

781
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:28,820
 I'm going to go on, flash my dimples,

782
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:31,860
 get people to feel sorry for me, and win at all costs.

783
00:44:31,940 --> 00:44:34,740
 Your thoughts, where do you start breaking down on the field

784
00:44:34,740 --> 00:44:36,280
 and off the field with a Lane game?

785
00:44:37,100 --> 00:44:39,600
 Yeah, you know, the interesting thing is,

786
00:44:39,820 --> 00:44:42,900
 and I said to the show and Baton Rouge guys last week a couple of things,

787
00:44:42,940 --> 00:44:44,920
 this is not a hill for LSU to die on.

788
00:44:45,140 --> 00:44:46,360
 It's not that impactful.

789
00:44:46,980 --> 00:44:48,500
 And we saw, you know, Saturday night,

790
00:44:48,580 --> 00:44:50,360
 they don't need any of those couple of guys from the NFL.

791
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:51,980
 And they're good enough to win it all the way up.

792
00:44:51,980 --> 00:44:52,620
 My gosh, no.

793
00:44:53,340 --> 00:44:57,900
 Yeah, and I think this whole situation there cried out the whole way

794
00:44:57,900 --> 00:45:01,560
 for somebody down there to grab the wheel,

795
00:45:02,020 --> 00:45:04,600
 whether it be the AD who's been very quiet,

796
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,040
 Jim Dalton, the chancellor, he's been very quiet.

797
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:10,100
 The governor's been a little bit more outspoken.

798
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:13,420
 But, you know, to grab the wheel and just stop this thing.

799
00:45:13,500 --> 00:45:16,520
 You know, the guys in Baton Rouge, when I did on the radio with them last week,

800
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:17,900
 you know, took umbrage.

801
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:19,640
 They thought, no, no, we have grabbed the wheel.

802
00:45:19,740 --> 00:45:20,360
 This is what we're doing.

803
00:45:20,780 --> 00:45:22,620
 And I said, no, we're talking about a different grabbed wheel.

804
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:27,140
 I'm saying, grab the wheel away from Lane and say, no, they're not doing it.

805
00:45:27,180 --> 00:45:28,720
 So they're still treating him like a child.

806
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:30,180
 They're letting him like a spoiled child.

807
00:45:30,720 --> 00:45:32,660
 Lane cannot make policy.

808
00:45:33,340 --> 00:45:37,820
 That's like my daughter letting my grandson go shopping,

809
00:45:37,980 --> 00:45:40,020
 and it would be all cookies and ice cream, you know.

810
00:45:40,820 --> 00:45:43,480
 You just can't let him make decisions like that.

811
00:45:44,020 --> 00:45:50,000
 LSU eventually will relent on this and just drop it, the whole thing, I believe,

812
00:45:50,140 --> 00:45:53,920
 because the rest of the league, they've become such a pariah for the rest of the league,

813
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:57,100
 and maybe Lane sort of wants to create this siege mentality.

814
00:45:57,820 --> 00:46:02,020
 You're getting to the point now where it's, when you get, you know,

815
00:46:02,180 --> 00:46:03,900
 expelling LSU in the league and stuff.

816
00:46:03,980 --> 00:46:06,840
 I hardly believe that is happening, but it's going to happen.

817
00:46:07,100 --> 00:46:09,680
 But, you know, LSU, you've crossed the line here.

818
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:10,780
 Just pull it back.

819
00:46:10,940 --> 00:46:15,640
 Lane, just somebody at LSU down there, somebody told Lane, no, you can't do this,

820
00:46:15,720 --> 00:46:16,640
 and this is what we're doing.

821
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,500
 Somebody's got to be a bigger voice down there than him.

822
00:46:19,820 --> 00:46:21,840
 You can't let him make policy on this stuff.

823
00:46:22,020 --> 00:46:24,460
 Well, wouldn't that be the first time someone's told Lane no,

824
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:27,120
 maybe outside of when he was with the Raiders?

825
00:46:27,340 --> 00:46:28,400
 I mean, let's face it.

826
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:31,700
 He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and people put up with him

827
00:46:31,700 --> 00:46:32,720
 because he's good.

828
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:36,260
 But Lane knows he's good, and he takes full ombrage with that

829
00:46:36,260 --> 00:46:37,160
 and takes full advantage.

830
00:46:37,260 --> 00:46:38,600
 So it seems that's his track record.

831
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:39,540
 Look what he did at Tennessee.

832
00:46:39,740 --> 00:46:40,140
 See you.

833
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:42,760
 Alabama, see you in the national championship.

834
00:46:43,180 --> 00:46:43,940
 I mean, Ole Miss.

835
00:46:44,340 --> 00:46:46,700
 Golly gee, you've been good for me, but I'm going to leave you

836
00:46:46,700 --> 00:46:48,680
 and make up stories about people coming after me.

837
00:46:48,780 --> 00:46:51,460
 I mean, this is, well, nothing's really new about Lane, is it?

838
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:56,500
 No, I mean, the series of burned bridges in the background.

839
00:46:56,720 --> 00:46:57,520
 Yeah, we didn't care.

840
00:46:57,520 --> 00:46:58,240
 I can't relate to that, too.

841
00:46:58,480 --> 00:46:59,820
 This is like European soccer.

842
00:46:59,940 --> 00:47:02,120
 This is like Jose Mourinho at Real Madrid now.

843
00:47:02,180 --> 00:47:05,160
 If you look at his career, it's sort of like Kiffin's.

844
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:06,660
 He's only placed for a couple years.

845
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:07,540
 It's about me.

846
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:11,740
 But he always gets another job, and there's always another job waiting for Lane.

847
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:15,920
 Let me ask you about the two premier games this weekend.

848
00:47:16,220 --> 00:47:22,820
 Ohio State-Texas, Longhorns a one-and-a-half-point favorite Saturday at 6.30 on ABC,

849
00:47:23,740 --> 00:47:28,200
 showcasing Arch and Julian Sange, Jeremiah Smith, Kim Coleman.

850
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:32,120
 Real opportunity for Texas to make a statement.

851
00:47:32,780 --> 00:47:36,680
 Can Oklahoma put Michigan out of its misery for a while?

852
00:47:37,100 --> 00:47:42,040
 They are a five-and-a-half-point favorite, which tells you what people think about Michigan.

853
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:45,120
 I have never been a Bryce Underwood fan.

854
00:47:45,740 --> 00:47:48,460
 Last year in this game, he went nine for 24.

855
00:47:49,500 --> 00:47:52,660
 Ohio State-Texas, Oklahoma-Michigan.

856
00:47:52,780 --> 00:47:55,060
 Does the SEC win both games?

857
00:47:56,740 --> 00:47:57,260
 Maybe.

858
00:47:57,820 --> 00:47:59,760
 They won't win Michigan-Oklahoma.

859
00:48:00,380 --> 00:48:01,520
 I highly doubt.

860
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:05,260
 I mean, Michigan did not look good at all last week.

861
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:11,320
 And Underwood, I mean, he's a very tepid endorsement from Kyle Whittingham.

862
00:48:11,380 --> 00:48:13,420
 It's almost like he's considering switching quarterbacks.

863
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:16,980
 I mean, the pressure on this kid, I mean, he would have been better off going somewhere else,

864
00:48:17,380 --> 00:48:22,800
 you know, not with all this enormous pressure, I think, on him, which he hasn't really lived up to.

865
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:24,620
 Oklahoma looks really good.

866
00:48:24,700 --> 00:48:25,440
 Mateo is back.

867
00:48:25,500 --> 00:48:25,900
 He's healthy.

868
00:48:25,900 --> 00:48:27,020
 We talked about this before.

869
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:32,220
 He really wasn't after the first couple weeks last year after he had the hand surgery.

870
00:48:33,020 --> 00:48:35,900
 They could have scored 80 points on UTEP if they wanted last week.

871
00:48:35,980 --> 00:48:39,940
 And that defense, Brent Venables is just licking his chops to go after Michigan.

872
00:48:40,580 --> 00:48:44,120
 And that stodgy Wolverine offense and get after Underwood.

873
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:45,260
 Oklahoma wins that one.

874
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:47,540
 Not so sure about Texas and Ohio State.

875
00:48:48,500 --> 00:48:54,680
 Although I wonder, you know, how good Julian Sand has had such an advantage in his career.

876
00:48:55,020 --> 00:48:56,240
 He's had time to throw.

877
00:48:56,820 --> 00:48:58,820
 He's had the best receivers in the country.

878
00:48:58,940 --> 00:48:59,620
 They're all open.

879
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:02,460
 I mean, it's easy to play quarterback like that.

880
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:08,840
 One team that really messed up with Oklahoma, Ohio State last year was Miami in the playoff.

881
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:12,780
 And the first game, I mean, Ohio State played very conservative against Texas.

882
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:14,520
 They didn't do much, but they still won.

883
00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:16,660
 I think this is a big game for Sark.

884
00:49:16,660 --> 00:49:22,660
 Now, he did win that game at Alabama a few years ago before the Horns joined the SEC.

885
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:28,340
 But big games, Georgia in particular, the last couple years, the big SEC games,

886
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:30,060
 he has not been winning the last couple years.

887
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:31,700
 This is intersectional.

888
00:49:32,500 --> 00:49:34,980
 But I think there's more pressure on Sark.

889
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:38,720
 And watching Texas last year in some of these spots,

890
00:49:39,180 --> 00:49:41,760
 I am not convinced they're going to get over the hump here.

891
00:49:41,860 --> 00:49:43,880
 Something tells me Ohio State might have their number.

892
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:47,340
 And I back the Buckeyes here.

893
00:49:48,780 --> 00:49:49,920
 Check out Bruce again.

894
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:50,820
 There's the gold sheet.

895
00:49:50,980 --> 00:49:54,220
 Bruce, Alabama, first road game with a brand-new quarterback.

896
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:55,300
 They're at Kentucky.

897
00:49:55,500 --> 00:49:58,060
 If you've ever been to a game there, don't mistake it.

898
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:02,440
 As someone said earlier in September, there's a lot of football fans in Lexington

899
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:04,700
 and they've got a brand-new coach.

900
00:50:04,780 --> 00:50:05,420
 He's cocky.

901
00:50:05,540 --> 00:50:07,440
 You don't know what he's going to throw at this team.

902
00:50:07,660 --> 00:50:08,620
 Ten-and-a-half, I'm looking.

903
00:50:08,740 --> 00:50:09,700
 Maybe you've got a different line.

904
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:13,080
 But, Alabama, at the last look I had, anyway, favored by ten-and-a-half.

905
00:50:13,140 --> 00:50:13,800
 How do you see it?

906
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:19,560
 Yeah, and I have been to Kentucky game last year.

907
00:50:19,620 --> 00:50:20,440
 The Ole Miss game.

908
00:50:20,540 --> 00:50:22,140
 It was a pretty good game.

909
00:50:23,620 --> 00:50:24,380
 And we'll see.

910
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:25,040
 But we'll die.

911
00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:29,260
 I mean, they opened up, as they expected last week, against Youngstown.

912
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:30,860
 Not too much trouble.

913
00:50:31,700 --> 00:50:34,380
 Get a better test for Kenny Minchie this week.

914
00:50:34,380 --> 00:50:37,060
 But he threw four TD passes in the opener.

915
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:39,600
 The offense, over 500 yards.

916
00:50:39,700 --> 00:50:40,860
 It was only an FCS team.

917
00:50:41,060 --> 00:50:43,300
 But I think they're kind of an X factor here.

918
00:50:44,580 --> 00:50:50,640
 And in the case of Kentucky, before I jump on board, I need a little bit more evidence.

919
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:53,520
 Alabama looks like it hasn't skipped a beat.

920
00:50:53,700 --> 00:50:55,520
 And Russell looks like he could be very good.

921
00:50:55,980 --> 00:51:01,220
 And that was awfully, awfully impressive against East Carolina, which might not be all that bad.

922
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:04,900
 So, I would probably only look at Alabama here.

923
00:51:05,020 --> 00:51:08,360
 That doesn't look – if the price gets up around two touchdowns, I might back off.

924
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:10,600
 But lean a little bit to Alabama.

925
00:51:10,860 --> 00:51:15,380
 But Kentucky's one of these teams, I think we need to get a little bit more info on them

926
00:51:15,380 --> 00:51:20,280
 and how Minchie performs against a quality team before jumping on the Kentucky bandwagon.

927
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:21,400
 Not ready to do it quite yet.

928
00:51:21,900 --> 00:51:24,800
 We always want to ask you about your under-the-radar game.

929
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:28,040
 But let me ask you about two SEC games.

930
00:51:29,240 --> 00:51:32,260
 There are some fascinating SEC games this week.

931
00:51:32,380 --> 00:51:34,260
 Arizona State at Texas A&M.

932
00:51:34,380 --> 00:51:36,320
 The Aggies are 14-and-a-point favorite.

933
00:51:36,460 --> 00:51:37,820
 This is the morning game.

934
00:51:38,540 --> 00:51:41,260
 Aggies look really good routing Missouri State.

935
00:51:41,420 --> 00:51:47,960
 Cutter Boley, of all people, a Kentucky transfer went wild against Morgan State,

936
00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:50,780
 throwing for nearly 400 yards.

937
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:53,620
 And then Tennessee at Georgia Tech.

938
00:51:53,620 --> 00:52:00,500
 You mentioned Brandon, very impressive in his freshman debut, five touchdowns, 300 total yards.

939
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:06,400
 Georgia Tech kind of collapsed against Colorado to lose that game.

940
00:52:06,860 --> 00:52:12,320
 Both A&M and Tennessee double-digit favorites, do they win and cover?

941
00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:14,600
 I think they both will.

942
00:52:14,700 --> 00:52:15,920
 We'll talk about Tennessee first.

943
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:18,980
 We talked about Brandon and the difference that he seems to be making for them.

944
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:22,200
 I was completely unimpressed with Georgia Tech the other night.

945
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:22,320
 Yeah.

946
00:52:22,540 --> 00:52:28,340
 And the new coordinator came in, George Godsey, I don't care if he's got NFL background, just way too timid.

947
00:52:28,580 --> 00:52:34,100
 I mean, you've got a chance to put that game away four minutes or so to go score a touchdown there.

948
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:36,580
 They played so timid and they left the door open.

949
00:52:36,700 --> 00:52:40,320
 And then Colorado, which I didn't think looked that good at all, was a bad game.

950
00:52:40,420 --> 00:52:41,880
 Mendoza, very disappointing at quarterback.

951
00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:45,200
 I think Georgia Tech's got some problems.

952
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:48,860
 And Tennessee, my gut feels a lot better than Colorado.

953
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:51,940
 And if Brandon's a real deal, I will lay the points.

954
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:53,420
 You're right, Cutter Bowley.

955
00:52:54,220 --> 00:52:57,600
 And, yeah, he ain't going to play in Oregon State here.

956
00:52:58,000 --> 00:52:59,260
 That's the deal.

957
00:52:59,860 --> 00:53:03,300
 And he might feel like he's back at Kentucky this week against A&M.

958
00:53:04,900 --> 00:53:08,180
 Mike Elko wins the Nice Guy of the Year award last week.

959
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:13,360
 The last couple minutes of the game kicks a long field goal to get to 50 points against Missouri State.

960
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:14,540
 Nice guy.

961
00:53:14,540 --> 00:53:19,660
 What was impressive about A&M was that, you know, all that talk last week,

962
00:53:19,720 --> 00:53:22,060
 Marcel Reed talking about how much he hates Texas and all.

963
00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:25,880
 You thought they might be distracted by the Texas stuff.

964
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:30,480
 Well, they kept their minds on business last week, very workmanlike.

965
00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:35,560
 And it's such a big step up here for Arizona State to play this Elko defense.

966
00:53:36,340 --> 00:53:38,120
 And Marcel Reed looks in the top form.

967
00:53:38,260 --> 00:53:40,540
 I think, you know, A&M probably gets there.

968
00:53:40,900 --> 00:53:43,800
 I'm inclined to look at the SEC in most of these spots this week,

969
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:45,300
 save perhaps the Texas game.

970
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:48,300
 But these two, definitely I'll look at A&M and definitely look at Tennessee.

971
00:53:49,100 --> 00:53:51,960
 Bruce, again, can't let you go without that under-the-radar game.

972
00:53:52,020 --> 00:53:53,300
 And where can we get the latest with you?

973
00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:55,340
 Yeah, one quick one.

974
00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:57,300
 I mean, out on the West Coast, watch this UCLA.

975
00:53:57,620 --> 00:53:58,300
 Watch what's going on.

976
00:53:58,360 --> 00:53:59,400
 I think Bob Chesney's a winner.

977
00:53:59,620 --> 00:54:00,700
 That was very impressive in the 40s.

978
00:54:00,700 --> 00:54:01,100
 It was.

979
00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:05,660
 They had had six touchdowns rushing since Pepper Rogers was running the wishbone there

980
00:54:05,660 --> 00:54:06,940
 in the early 70s.

981
00:54:07,180 --> 00:54:08,440
 So they got something going.

982
00:54:08,540 --> 00:54:12,120
 San Diego State Saturday night, lay the points with the Bruins at the Rose Bowl.

983
00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:16,980
 For me, we call it $5 Tuesday, up at Wager Talk.

984

995
00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:41,840

996
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:42,020
 Thank you, buddy.

997
00:54:42,260 --> 00:54:42,760

 It doesn't matter if you're running grills at the park, playing pickup on a Saturday, or sinking the final putt.

1017
00:56:14,420 --> 00:56:19,140
 When you compete with your friends with Michelob Ultra on the line, competition isn't that friendly.

1018
00:56:19,720 --> 00:56:24,880
 The trash talk, next level, and the stakes, oh, those are crystal clear.

 With only 95 calories and superior smooth taste, it's the ultimate trophy.

1020
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:31,320

 The Score.

1027
00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:48,580
 I'm still going for it.

1028
00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:54,800
 Even with higher stroke risk from atrial fibrillation, an irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem.

1029
00:56:55,600 --> 00:57:01,980
 In a clinical study, Eliquis Apixaban reduces stroke risk and has less major bleeding than warfarin.

1030
00:57:02,620 --> 00:57:05,260
 Don't stop prescription Eliquis without asking your doctor.

1031
00:57:05,260 --> 00:57:06,760
 Stroke risk may increase.

1032
00:57:06,940 --> 00:57:09,440
 Eliquis can cause serious and potentially fatal bleeding.

1033
00:57:09,740 --> 00:57:14,080
 Don't take if you have an artificial heart valve, abnormal bleeding, or antiphospholipid syndrome.

1034
00:57:14,420 --> 00:57:16,920
 While taking, you may bruise more easily or bleed longer.

1035
00:57:17,100 --> 00:57:20,480
 A spinal injection increases blood clot risk, which may cause paralysis.

1036
00:57:20,860 --> 00:57:27,500
 Get medical help right away for unexpected bleeding or bruising, or back pain, tingling, numbness, muscle weakness, or incontinence.

1037
00:57:27,660 --> 00:57:32,780
 Aspirin products, NSAIDs, SSRIs, SNRIs, and blood thinners increase bleeding risk.

1038
00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:35,300
 Tell your doctor about planned medical or dental procedures.

1039
00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:39,340
 Learn more at Eliquis.com or call 1-855-Eliquis.

1053
00:58:48,940 --> 00:58:56,120
 U.S. Senator Katie Britt is supporting the Trump administration and its recent proposal of the Rate Payer Protection Pledge

1054
00:58:56,120 --> 00:59:00,060
 when it comes to new data centers being placed in cities and communities.

1055
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:07,220
 Companies who take this pledge would agree to protect the American consumer from price hikes on energy and infrastructure needs.

1056
00:59:07,620 --> 00:59:11,580
 Britt was recently on Semaphore where the topic of data centers was brought up.

1057
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:18,100
 Britt says that data centers are being used as a wedge issue that will put the U.S. behind in this technology race with China.

1058
00:59:18,260 --> 00:59:22,640
 Britt says the conversation must continue with how to best address this growing industry.

1059
00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:30,740
 Britt maintains that communities should assess thoroughly if this is right for them, with some places ultimately deciding that they want to bring in another type of development.

1060
00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:38,620
 Britt is opposed to any type of national moratorium on building data centers, but she also says that we do not need data centers on every corner in America.

1061
00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:41,440

 Authorities have caught up with the suspect behind a series of threats made through videos to schools in Alabama.

1070
01:00:17,300 --> 01:00:22,480
 A juvenile from Andalusia has now been arrested for the cat in the hat video threats made online.

1071
01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:26,620
 The video uses artificial intelligence and the character from the Dr. Seuss book.

1072
01:00:26,860 --> 01:00:31,640
 The investigators tracked down the Snapchat account used to make the video threat and then the IP address.

1073
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:34,180

 I mean, they're not messing around with this guy because what they're saying, in effect, LSU, you're letting him, basically, you're letting the tail wag the dog in Baton Rouge, and it's time to put a stop to this.

1126
01:04:06,540 --> 01:04:08,640
 Well, the SEC needed to make a statement.

1127
01:04:08,820 --> 01:04:11,720
 Harold, they're very serious about this.

1128
01:04:12,080 --> 01:04:20,260
 And I would imagine they could get 15 presidents and athletic directors to vote right now to kick LSU out of the league.

1129
01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:22,680
 We're not going to kick Ben Thomas off the show.

1130
01:04:22,840 --> 01:04:25,620
 He is the man at AL.com.

1131
01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:26,760
 BT, welcome in.

1132
01:04:26,840 --> 01:04:28,560
 You're not going to court anytime soon, are you?

1133
01:04:28,580 --> 01:04:29,060
 How are you?

1134
01:04:29,660 --> 01:04:31,100
 Oh, boy, I feel like I should.

1135
01:04:31,340 --> 01:04:41,580
 I mean, it seems like not just in college football, but on the high school scene, we've had three court cases or filings, whatever you want to say, last week.

1136
01:04:41,580 --> 01:04:44,740
 I feel like, you know, one time I wanted to go to school to be a lawyer.

1137
01:04:44,900 --> 01:04:46,620
 Maybe I should have done that.

1138
01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:50,040
 Maybe I could understand what was going on in these court things.

1139
01:04:50,240 --> 01:04:56,060
 But, yeah, I'd rather stay covering high school games on the field and not in the courtrooms, if possible, please.

1140
01:04:56,340 --> 01:04:57,060
 Ben, it's crazy.

1141
01:04:57,180 --> 01:04:58,460
 I have no idea.

1142
01:04:58,620 --> 01:05:06,380
 Maybe someone smarter than I am can figure out what's going on in the world because it just seems like H-A-T-E is King Kong these days, no matter where you go.

1143
01:05:06,380 --> 01:05:09,740
 But, Ben, be that as it may, who has more records?

1144
01:05:09,860 --> 01:05:12,300
 Elvis, the Beatles, or Trent Seaborn at Thompson?

1145
01:05:13,960 --> 01:05:22,700
 Yeah, I mean, you know, we talked about Trent last week, I think, and he's left to become the state's all-time leading passer, and he did do that.

1146
01:05:22,820 --> 01:05:26,200
 I mean, Thompson just, we may end up, you know, it's early.

1147
01:05:26,640 --> 01:05:35,020
 I don't want to get anybody, you know, fired up yet, but we may end up at some point talking about this Thompson team being one of the best in, you know, the history of high school.

1148
01:05:35,860 --> 01:05:36,260
 Wow.

1149
01:05:36,400 --> 01:05:41,320
 You know, the Viger of 1988 and Hoover, some of those great Hoover teams.

1150
01:05:42,060 --> 01:05:42,600
 We'll see.

1151
01:05:42,740 --> 01:05:53,980
 I mean, lots to be said about that, but Trent, 264 yards and another route of a good Vestavia Hills team last week, and now has 11,032 yards.

1152
01:05:53,980 --> 01:05:56,420
 He is the state's all-time leading passer.

1153
01:05:57,420 --> 01:06:04,100
 Passed several people, but the previous top holder was Jack Hayes, the former Piedmont quarterback.

1154
01:06:04,800 --> 01:06:07,260
 Here's what's kind of crazy to think about, guys.

1155
01:06:07,320 --> 01:06:13,520
 I obviously know Trent's been playing since the eighth grade, or at least in the playoff, you know, playing those playoff games as an eighth grader.

1156
01:06:14,060 --> 01:06:18,260
 He's got, what, 10, 11 games left to play as a senior?

1157
01:06:18,560 --> 01:06:21,240
 I mean, how much, what is he going to finish with?

1158
01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:24,740
 I mean, you know, he's got 11,032 already.

1159
01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:28,020
 I mean, 12,000, 13,000.

1160
01:06:28,160 --> 01:06:34,700
 I mean, he, you know, you've got to think this is a record that's probably not going to be broken again, at least not anytime soon.

1161
01:06:34,740 --> 01:06:46,500
 And kind of the, you know, a little bit disappointing is the fact that when we entered the season, it looked like he and Gunnar Rivers would kind of be chasing that record together, maybe going back and forth, seesawing in the lead.

1162
01:06:46,620 --> 01:06:50,020
 And because of Gunnar's injury, that's probably not going to happen.

1163
01:06:50,120 --> 01:06:56,860
 They think he's going to be back sometime this year, but it's probably going to be hard for him to catch up to Trent at this point.

1164
01:06:57,060 --> 01:07:05,720
 But congratulations to Trent, good guy, future Alabama quarterback, and might be a four-time state champion by the time he leaves.

1165
01:07:06,520 --> 01:07:14,380
 BT, somebody asked me a couple weeks ago, what's Wade Waltrip doing, the former Florence and James Clements coach?

1166
01:07:14,980 --> 01:07:16,460
 Well, he's doing pretty well.

1167
01:07:17,220 --> 01:07:22,040
 Orange Beach just stunned Biger, 21-19.

1168
01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:24,620
 They knocked down a two-point conversion.

1169
01:07:24,860 --> 01:07:27,780
 Biger, number two in Class 4A.

1170
01:07:28,440 --> 01:07:30,960
 I think Wade Waltrip is doing pretty well.

1171
01:07:31,660 --> 01:07:35,480
 I can tell you one thing he's not doing, Brett, and that's calling Ben Thomas back today.

1172
01:07:35,500 --> 01:07:36,520
 No, no, no!

1173
01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:39,220
 Yeah, I don't know, but...

1174
01:07:39,220 --> 01:07:39,640
 Wade?

1175
01:07:39,900 --> 01:07:40,160
 Yeah.

1176
01:07:41,760 --> 01:07:49,960
 Hopefully he will, but yeah, Orange Beach has only had a program since 2020, and Coach Waldrop's been down there since leaving Hoover,

1177
01:07:49,960 --> 01:07:52,420
 and they've been pretty good, but this looks like their best team.

1178
01:07:52,540 --> 01:07:54,100
 They've got some prospects on this team.

1179
01:07:54,780 --> 01:08:00,060
 Lee Steele, junior tight end and outside linebacker, he's also a basketball prospect.

1180
01:08:00,420 --> 01:08:05,480
 He may have to choose not only a college, but a sport when he gets around there.

1181
01:08:05,480 --> 01:08:11,640
 Amari Trammell is another big defensive line, outside linebacker type guy that they have on this team.

1182
01:08:11,760 --> 01:08:15,980
 So, they've got some players, Tucker Wade, the quarterback, and they did beat Viger.

1183
01:08:16,080 --> 01:08:18,860
 Now, Viger was a little bit down in manpower.

1184
01:08:18,980 --> 01:08:21,360
 I think they had a few guys sitting out for whatever reasons.

1185
01:08:21,480 --> 01:08:23,980
 I'm trying to check and see what that holds.

1186
01:08:24,360 --> 01:08:27,360
 But a great one, you know, best win in school history for them.

1187
01:08:27,660 --> 01:08:31,160
 And not just that, I mean, down here they call it ballin' at the beach, you know,

1188
01:08:31,160 --> 01:08:33,920
 those two schools down there, Orange Beach and Gold Shores.

1189
01:08:34,440 --> 01:08:39,900
 All Gold Shores did was go to 3-0 by ending Sarah Land's 41-game home winning streak.

1190
01:08:41,500 --> 01:08:45,420
 Carter Davis is a wide receiver, fastest guy in the state, a lot of people say,

1191
01:08:45,500 --> 01:08:46,800
 who's committed to West Virginia.

1192
01:08:47,540 --> 01:08:49,840
 Elijah Malone had an unbelievable game.

1193
01:08:49,920 --> 01:08:51,720
 He's right now committed to Jacksonville State.

1194
01:08:51,840 --> 01:08:56,960
 But I wonder if some other people might be knocking on his door before it's all said and done.

1195
01:08:56,960 --> 01:09:03,040
 So, yeah, Gulf Shores, Orange Beach having historically, of course, I was going to say historically good seasons.

1196
01:09:03,240 --> 01:09:05,340
 Of course, Gulf Shores won the state title a couple years ago.

1197
01:09:05,460 --> 01:09:07,420
 So, for them, not necessarily.

1198
01:09:07,660 --> 01:09:09,540
 But two big wins for sure on the beach.

1199
01:09:10,220 --> 01:09:13,080
 Speaking of going to 3-0 and streaking, how about Florence?

1200
01:09:13,160 --> 01:09:17,880
 They go to 3-0 by ending Muscle Shoals' 10-game winning streak against the Falcons.

1201
01:09:18,460 --> 01:09:19,680
 A defensive battle.

1202
01:09:19,940 --> 01:09:22,460
 Florence, again, off to a 3-0 start.

1203
01:09:23,340 --> 01:09:28,680
 Yeah, and, you know, Brett texted me and said we need to make sure we got Florence and Russell on.

1204
01:09:28,680 --> 01:09:29,340
 Yes, you do.

1205
01:09:29,900 --> 01:09:30,800
 There you go.

1206
01:09:30,940 --> 01:09:31,480
 That's a good one.

1207
01:09:31,480 --> 01:09:33,100
 And I think we do.

1208
01:09:33,320 --> 01:09:36,760
 But, yeah, undefeated, Lawrence 3-0 against Russell will 3-0.

1209
01:09:38,720 --> 01:09:41,880
 You know, I think the last time these two teams haven't played in a while.

1210
01:09:41,940 --> 01:09:42,580
 Yeah, correct.

1211
01:09:42,660 --> 01:09:45,500
 I think it's been since 2011 since they played.

1212
01:09:45,580 --> 01:09:45,820
 Right.

1213
01:09:46,740 --> 01:09:51,420
 If you look at what Florence has done, what, two shutouts in three games for them.

1214
01:09:51,500 --> 01:09:53,100
 So, their defense has been really good.

1215
01:09:53,200 --> 01:09:55,640
 Obviously, they played Jasper, which has a good tailback.

1216
01:09:56,160 --> 01:09:57,140
 Didn't shut them out.

1217
01:09:57,460 --> 01:09:59,860
 A pretty salty bunch, it looks like, to me.

1218
01:09:59,920 --> 01:10:07,280
 And then Russell will, I mean, are we surprised that Daryl Higgins is over there and has continued to win?

1219
01:10:07,400 --> 01:10:10,420
 I mean, a huge win for them against Hartzell, 35-21.

1220
01:10:11,500 --> 01:10:14,600
 I think four of their next five or something like that are on the road.

1221
01:10:14,660 --> 01:10:15,940
 They're about to get tested.

1222
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:21,660
 But with Daryl Higgins there, I mean, he just, you know, does what he does, which is win ballgames.

1223
01:10:21,660 --> 01:10:22,880
 So, that ought to be a good one.

1224
01:10:22,940 --> 01:10:24,240
 I haven't done my picks yet.

1225
01:10:24,320 --> 01:10:25,280
 You know, I did okay.

1226
01:10:25,980 --> 01:10:28,280
 I've not really hit my stride yet on the pitch.

1227
01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:33,400
 I've made a couple of 18-2 records, but so far, I haven't even been close to that.

1228
01:10:33,760 --> 01:10:39,720
 Yeah, Taurus Davis ran wild in that Hartzell win, ran for 269 yards.

1229
01:10:39,840 --> 01:10:46,520
 Tripp Cleveland, who may be a better baseball player than a quarterback, has had a tremendous year.

1230
01:10:46,520 --> 01:10:52,700
 The other one, BT, I suggested is Hamilton 2-0 at Dessler.

1231
01:10:53,140 --> 01:10:54,160
 Dessler lost.

1232
01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:59,560
 They could not convert a two-point conversion in the first game of the year at Russellville.

1233
01:10:59,680 --> 01:11:03,340
 And then they've scored 50-plus points the last two games.

1234
01:11:03,900 --> 01:11:08,220
 Hamilton is 2-0 after beating Artmore 49-8.

1235
01:11:08,280 --> 01:11:14,960
 They've got a Crankerjack quarterback by the name of Mason Holloway, who is 15-21 for 3-21.

1236
01:11:15,160 --> 01:11:20,380
 He's another one who's been playing quarterback for Hamilton for years.

1237
01:11:20,600 --> 01:11:28,280
 Yeah, Dessler beat Lawrence County 55-14, but two very good games in the shows on Friday.

1238
01:11:28,860 --> 01:11:30,400
 I think I put that one on there, too.

1239
01:11:30,520 --> 01:11:35,600
 Yeah, Dessler, 58 against Colbert County and 55 against Lawrence County, I believe.

1240
01:11:35,840 --> 01:11:38,660
 So they look like they're in high-octane form.

1241
01:11:39,120 --> 01:11:43,600
 You know, I think Hamilton's like 1-18 all-time against Dessler.

1242
01:11:43,720 --> 01:11:46,260
 They have not been very successful, but they haven't played a whole lot.

1243
01:11:46,260 --> 01:11:46,680
 I see it.

1244
01:11:46,860 --> 01:11:53,580
 I think they played last year, and Dessler won in overtime, and that's, I think, the first time they've played in quite a while.

1245
01:11:53,740 --> 01:11:55,200
 So that should be a good game.

1246
01:11:55,260 --> 01:11:57,680
 Who do you recommend I select on that one, Brad?

1247
01:11:57,680 --> 01:12:03,500
 Let me think about that, and I'll text you a little bit later today, B.T.

1248
01:12:04,140 --> 01:12:05,100
 All right, I got you.

1249
01:12:05,420 --> 01:12:05,960
 I got you.

1250
01:12:06,340 --> 01:12:07,700
 Brett comes from a logger family.

1251
01:12:07,760 --> 01:12:08,600
 Yes, he does.

1252
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:11,920
 You have been more in there, B.T., BenThomasAL.com.

1253
01:12:11,960 --> 01:12:12,880
 How about Lexington?

1254
01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:14,280
 That community's on fire.

1255
01:12:14,440 --> 01:12:17,860
 They're going to be beating 3-0 after knocking off Phil Campbell 2018.

1256
01:12:17,860 --> 01:12:21,320
 If I saw it right, Lexington is sitting atop the regional standings right now.

1257
01:12:21,740 --> 01:12:22,160
 That's right.

1258
01:12:22,800 --> 01:12:24,980
 Is that our buddy, Brett Matt?

1259
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:25,700
 Yes, it is.

1260
01:12:25,860 --> 01:12:26,440
 Yeah, yeah.

1261
01:12:26,760 --> 01:12:28,460
 Yeah, he's got good coaching genes.

1262
01:12:28,660 --> 01:12:32,600
 I'm sure Steve Mask is proud of that, but I talked to Brett last week.

1263
01:12:32,640 --> 01:12:40,300
 I didn't talk to him this past week when they had a big win, and one of his guys made my Ben's 10 list of top 10 impact performers.

1264
01:12:40,660 --> 01:12:41,720
 So glad for him.

1265
01:12:41,820 --> 01:12:42,680
 I like Coach Mask.

1266
01:12:42,740 --> 01:12:48,160
 Obviously, I don't know him quite as well as I know his dad, but love the family, and I think he's a good football coach.

1267
01:12:48,160 --> 01:12:50,120
 He's obviously doing a good job there at Lexington.

1268
01:12:50,500 --> 01:12:52,580
 Yeah, they've got another Cracker Jack quarterback.

1269
01:12:52,840 --> 01:12:54,580
 I mentioned him, Zane Kilburn.

1270
01:12:55,840 --> 01:13:03,080
 That killed Byrne, I'm sorry, and they beat Phil Campbell, came back from a 12-point deficit to win 20-18.

1271
01:13:03,340 --> 01:13:10,620
 Tell us about, and I like the title, Ben's 10, the 10 best performances in the state of Alabama.

1272
01:13:10,620 --> 01:13:19,380
 Demar, you've got the five questions, I believe, from Huntsville, Birmingham, Montgomery, Mobile, in that area.

1273
01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:25,060
 What else have you got on tell this week, and where can we get online to get all the great stuff?

1274
01:13:25,840 --> 01:13:27,880
 Yeah, we're not slowing down this week.

1275
01:13:27,940 --> 01:13:29,900
 One of the coaches asked me, what do you do on Labor Day?

1276
01:13:30,040 --> 01:13:31,740
 You work, Labor.

1277
01:13:31,900 --> 01:13:33,420
 It's just another Monday for me.

1278
01:13:34,760 --> 01:13:37,340
 Yeah, Ben's 10 comes out every Monday morning.

1279
01:13:37,460 --> 01:13:40,420
 It's my top 10 impact performers of the previous week.

1280
01:13:41,060 --> 01:13:46,720
 And a lot of times it's big stats, but sometimes it's a special teams play or something like that,

1281
01:13:46,780 --> 01:13:49,080
 just something that attracts my attention.

1282
01:13:49,380 --> 01:13:51,440
 And that seems to have gone over pretty well.

1283
01:13:51,500 --> 01:13:53,160
 You can get that on Monday mornings.

1284
01:13:53,960 --> 01:13:58,620
 We even send a little certificate out to each of the 10 players with my shining face on it.

1285
01:13:58,740 --> 01:13:59,440
 There you go.

1286
01:13:59,880 --> 01:14:00,920
 So they can do that.

1287
01:14:00,960 --> 01:14:03,680
 Or they can hang it on their dartboard if they don't like it when they pick against them,

1288
01:14:03,700 --> 01:14:04,900
 they can throw at it, I guess.

1289
01:14:04,900 --> 01:14:09,240
 But, yeah, we have the five things to know in each market tomorrow.

1290
01:14:09,440 --> 01:14:10,420
 The rankings will be out.

1291
01:14:10,500 --> 01:14:12,240
 Sports Riders rankings early in the morning.

1292
01:14:12,940 --> 01:14:14,940
 Power 25 is already out.

1293
01:14:15,140 --> 01:14:17,420
 Randy Kennedy's best in Bama Thursday.

1294
01:14:17,700 --> 01:14:20,400
 The two ranking all the best prospects in the state,

1295
01:14:20,480 --> 01:14:22,540
 regardless of grade.

1296
01:14:23,200 --> 01:14:25,240
 It's funny, we get some response on that.

1297
01:14:25,760 --> 01:14:27,340
 People are irate saying,

1298
01:14:27,440 --> 01:14:30,980
 well, how can you rank this guy ahead of that guy when he hasn't even played much yet?

1299
01:14:31,060 --> 01:14:32,420
 Well, that's kind of the point of all.

1300
01:14:32,660 --> 01:14:33,620
 Kind of the point of all that.

1301
01:14:33,620 --> 01:14:34,120
 Yes, there is.

1302
01:14:34,960 --> 01:14:38,760
 We got plenty on AL.com for you to love football.

1303
01:14:38,880 --> 01:14:42,160
 High Live, obviously, on Friday nights is one of our most popular things.

1304
01:14:42,400 --> 01:14:43,740
 I just got to tell you guys,

1305
01:14:44,200 --> 01:14:46,580
 a lot of people are worried about public and private schools.

1306
01:14:46,680 --> 01:14:48,680
 I'm worried about our education in general.

1307
01:14:48,960 --> 01:14:50,440
 This is why I say that.

1308
01:14:50,540 --> 01:14:55,700
 I went to a store yesterday and I purchased something that was 1401 and I gave the young

1309
01:14:55,700 --> 01:14:56,440
 man a 20.

1310
01:14:56,880 --> 01:14:57,700
 You know what?

1311
01:14:57,760 --> 01:14:58,980
 You want to guess what happened next?

1312
01:15:00,440 --> 01:15:01,940
 The wrong change.

1313
01:15:02,400 --> 01:15:07,100
 He pulled out his phone to subtract 20.

1314
01:15:07,240 --> 01:15:13,260
 And I just thought, oh my gosh, this is where we are.

1315
01:15:13,380 --> 01:15:13,920
 Oh, man.

1316
01:15:13,920 --> 01:15:14,480
 That's okay.

1317
01:15:14,720 --> 01:15:15,280
 That's okay.

1318
01:15:15,420 --> 01:15:17,220
 You better pray the internet doesn't go down.

1319
01:15:17,280 --> 01:15:18,360
 You're going to be stuck, Ben.

1320
01:15:21,400 --> 01:15:22,820
 Why am I not surprised?

1321
01:15:22,980 --> 01:15:26,200
 Let's say as cool as you can and thanks so much for your time today, okay?

1322
01:15:26,580 --> 01:15:26,980
 All right.

1323

1324

 Well, I'm just impressed.

1327
01:15:30,460 --> 01:15:31,480
 He had a 20 to spend.

1328
01:15:31,680 --> 01:15:32,680

1440
01:21:39,920 --> 01:21:44,700
 Now, back with Boomo Bugg on 93.9 The Score.

1441
01:21:45,240 --> 01:21:46,100
 Welcome back again.

1442
01:21:46,180 --> 01:21:51,340
 Just when reporters in Florida thought they'd seen everything along came last night in Tallahassee.

1443
01:21:51,340 --> 01:21:54,000
 Matt Rochelle is a college insider with the Orlando Center.

1444
01:21:54,100 --> 01:21:57,320
 His podcast is Gridiron 365.

1445
01:21:57,720 --> 01:21:59,720
 Matt, Florida State, did they figure this thing out?

1446
01:21:59,760 --> 01:22:00,620
 There's a switch in the wall.

1447
01:22:00,720 --> 01:22:01,520
 One is on.

1448
01:22:01,620 --> 01:22:02,580
 One is off.

1449
01:22:03,160 --> 01:22:05,400
 Do they know the difference between on and off?

1450
01:22:05,480 --> 01:22:07,100
 Or did they just not pay their electric bill?

1451
01:22:07,160 --> 01:22:07,660
 How are you?

1452
01:22:07,940 --> 01:22:09,560
 I'm doing well.

1453
01:22:09,760 --> 01:22:15,580
 Listen, I figured after watching last night that most people would probably end up blaming Mike Norvell for the power out.

1454
01:22:15,580 --> 01:22:15,900
 Oh, yeah.

1455
01:22:16,560 --> 01:22:17,040
 Absolutely.

1456
01:22:18,160 --> 01:22:21,820
 But, you know, I mean, listen, we thought we saw everything this weekend.

1457
01:22:22,100 --> 01:22:23,220
 Michigan, Western Michigan.

1458
01:22:23,220 --> 01:22:23,500
 Really?

1459
01:22:23,700 --> 01:22:25,140
 All the things going on.

1460
01:22:25,460 --> 01:22:25,940
 No, no.

1461
01:22:26,140 --> 01:22:28,040
 Florida State said, play, hold my beer, Michigan.

1462
01:22:28,440 --> 01:22:30,060
 I'm going to go ahead and show you something different.

1463
01:22:30,440 --> 01:22:32,100
 And we had a power outage last night.

1464
01:22:32,300 --> 01:22:33,540
 So, it was crazy.

1465
01:22:33,700 --> 01:22:36,440
 I don't think I've ever seen a situation like that.

1466
01:22:36,600 --> 01:22:42,300
 And I think, you know, honestly, it just kind of demonstrated what week one was like.

1467
01:22:42,680 --> 01:22:48,460
 And I think the worst part about all of that, obviously, was the fact that Florida State isn't losing that game.

1468
01:22:48,920 --> 01:22:52,240
 So, for Florida State fans, you know, yeah, they could take a little bit of solace.

1469
01:22:52,340 --> 01:22:53,160
 It was a close game.

1470
01:22:53,260 --> 01:22:56,200
 They lost on a last, pretty much a last-minute field goal.

1471
01:22:56,640 --> 01:22:57,940
 But still, it's a loss.

1472
01:22:58,360 --> 01:23:01,040
 And that's not got to be still really good for the people in Tallahassee.

1473
01:23:01,320 --> 01:23:02,740
 Especially not being embarrassed like that.

1474
01:23:02,820 --> 01:23:03,540
 We're on national television.

1475
01:23:03,960 --> 01:23:04,600
 Yeah, I'm sorry, man.

1476
01:23:04,620 --> 01:23:05,220
 Here's the deal.

1477
01:23:05,320 --> 01:23:07,100
 I mean, they did without replay and all that stuff.

1478
01:23:07,140 --> 01:23:09,000
 Let's go to Michigan's game.

1479
01:23:09,320 --> 01:23:11,300
 Now, let's say the same situation happened there.

1480
01:23:11,300 --> 01:23:12,640
 They didn't have replay.

1481
01:23:13,300 --> 01:23:17,000
 Now, think about how that could not only affect that game, but the college football season.

1482
01:23:17,000 --> 01:23:21,180
 That shows you what happens when you have it, and sometimes what happens when you don't have it.

1483
01:23:21,900 --> 01:23:22,320
 Well, yeah.

1484
01:23:22,420 --> 01:23:27,160
 And what's incredible about the Michigan situation is, you know, everyone believes the game is over.

1485
01:23:27,460 --> 01:23:30,140
 And then all of a sudden, Big Ten says, well, there's another clock.

1486
01:23:30,340 --> 01:23:31,100
 Right, right.

1487
01:23:31,100 --> 01:23:32,840
 Not in the stadium, that's a clock that we look at.

1488
01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:34,500
 And then this is what's going to happen.

1489
01:23:34,500 --> 01:23:39,540
 And now, I just read just a few seconds ago, the Mid-American Conference came out and said,

1490
01:23:39,620 --> 01:23:45,960
 basically, they were wrong that Michigan, the replay officials were wrong, which, by the way, were Big Ten officials.

1491
01:23:46,240 --> 01:23:47,160
 They were wrong.

1492
01:23:47,320 --> 01:23:47,560
 Of course.

1493
01:23:47,660 --> 01:23:56,400
 And basically, they're going out and trying to ask the, you know, ask the college football playoff and all these other organizations to recognize them as winning that game.

1494
01:23:56,400 --> 01:24:00,380
 So, we have seen just about every craziness we've seen.

1495
01:24:00,680 --> 01:24:02,460
 And we're only in week one right now.

1496
01:24:02,540 --> 01:24:07,040
 I mean, we're talking about, you know, and I mean, listen, I'm a Mid-American Conference guy.

1497
01:24:07,140 --> 01:24:10,920
 I went to Ball State, covered the league for a couple of years while I was at school.

1498
01:24:11,560 --> 01:24:13,500
 I have an affinity for that.

1499
01:24:14,280 --> 01:24:16,220
 I thought it was going to be a great win for them.

1500
01:24:16,720 --> 01:24:17,840
 Michigan played horribly.

1501
01:24:18,460 --> 01:24:19,720
 Somehow, they ended up getting a win.

1502
01:24:19,880 --> 01:24:23,720
 And I got to say right now, I asked Michigan fans, how comfortable are you with that win?

1503
01:24:23,880 --> 01:24:25,420
 I mean, because it did not look good.

1504
01:24:25,880 --> 01:24:28,440
 Even though you got that last-second touchdown, it didn't look good.

1505
01:24:28,720 --> 01:24:34,900
 And I'm not sure, with Oklahoma coming up to town this week, how Michigan can feel very confident about going up against the state.

1506
01:24:35,220 --> 01:24:36,700
 I agree with you, Matt.

1507
01:24:36,700 --> 01:24:44,960
 Matt, just to add to that, the SEC basically giving the commissioner power to kick LSU out of the league to expel them.

1508
01:24:45,560 --> 01:24:47,400
 We'll see where that goes.

1509
01:24:48,140 --> 01:24:56,780
 Matt, the Florida Gators, under John Summerall, pretty impressive performance, beating Florida Atlantic 66-21.

1510
01:24:57,420 --> 01:25:03,240
 Jane Ball, I've been saying this for two years, just turn around and hand the ball to Jane Ball and let him do his thing.

1511
01:25:03,860 --> 01:25:06,660
 14 carries, 160 yards.

1512
01:25:07,220 --> 01:25:08,680
 Philo looked pretty good.

1513
01:25:08,880 --> 01:25:12,360
 Impressive opening debut for the Gators.

1514
01:25:13,140 --> 01:25:16,000
 Yeah, I think it's everything that Gator fans have been looking for.

1515
01:25:16,120 --> 01:25:18,120
 But I've seen this story before, guys.

1516
01:25:18,240 --> 01:25:25,780
 I've seen the week one, past the cup game, where Florida puts up a bunch of points, and then everyone thinks the offense is going to look good, and they don't.

1517
01:25:26,080 --> 01:25:34,900
 It's a good step in the right direction for John Summerall, because he needs to show the fan base that, yes, we're going to score points, we're going to look good, we're going to be efficient at doing it.

1518
01:25:35,100 --> 01:25:38,920
 I think the concern has to be the fact that they give over 20 points to FAU.

1519
01:25:38,920 --> 01:25:42,260
 They have to find a way to get a little bit tighter on defense.

1520
01:25:42,680 --> 01:25:44,920
 They're not going to have much of a challenge this week against Campbell.

1521
01:25:45,360 --> 01:25:47,680
 But again, down the road, they're going to start playing tougher opponents.

1522
01:25:48,140 --> 01:25:49,440
 They've got to get better on defense.

1523
01:25:49,660 --> 01:25:51,920
 They've got to take away the turnovers.

1524
01:25:52,380 --> 01:25:55,140
 But it was good to see the offense, which you can expect to see out of them.

1525
01:25:55,360 --> 01:25:56,280
 And I'm with you.

1526
01:25:56,380 --> 01:25:58,960
 Jane Ball is probably one of the top players in the SEC.

1527
01:25:59,440 --> 01:26:01,700
 He deserves to get the ball as much as he possibly can.

1528
01:26:02,080 --> 01:26:05,000
 If he can do that, I think Florida's going to have fun when it comes to their offense.

1529
01:26:05,640 --> 01:26:07,360
 Matt Murcia of the Orlando Sentinel.

1530
01:26:07,460 --> 01:26:08,540
 Matt, we love having you here.

1531
01:26:08,620 --> 01:26:09,720
 You've got the national voice.

1532
01:26:09,860 --> 01:26:13,820
 What is your takeaway from Alabama and Auburn over the weekend?

1533
01:26:14,860 --> 01:26:16,960
 Well, you know, Alabama, I thought, did what they had to do.

1534
01:26:17,200 --> 01:26:17,420
 You know what I mean?

1535
01:26:17,440 --> 01:26:23,960
 Auburn, you go out, you play the game, you get your players out there, you get a chance to take a look at the quarterback position.

1536
01:26:24,900 --> 01:26:26,040
 They did what they had to do.

1537
01:26:26,140 --> 01:26:31,400
 I think for Auburn, I think Auburn, to me, they got away with the wind.

1538
01:26:31,480 --> 01:26:32,360
 They did, man.

1539
01:26:32,360 --> 01:26:40,300
 I mean, listen, if DJ Lagwa, the Baylor quarterback, is hurt, and he was basically a couch most of that game.

1540
01:26:40,400 --> 01:26:43,800
 I mean, he was sitting in the backfield like a couch, and his leg was hurt.

1541
01:26:43,880 --> 01:26:44,140
 He couldn't.

1542
01:26:44,220 --> 01:26:45,040
 We had no mobility.

1543
01:26:45,500 --> 01:26:52,780
 If he can roll out a little bit on that last two-point play, you know, I think there's a good possibility they get that two-pointer and win the game.

1544
01:26:53,120 --> 01:26:55,480
 So I think Auburn got very lucky with that.

1545
01:26:55,480 --> 01:27:03,560
 You know, I mean, I thought kudos to Dave Aranda for going for two at the end of the game and trying to win it over time.

1546
01:27:03,980 --> 01:27:08,460
 Listen, more coaches need to be aggressive when it comes to that kind of thing, but it didn't work out in his favor.

1547
01:27:08,600 --> 01:27:13,220
 So my guess is Dave Aranda's on the hot seat even more so than he was when he started because of it.

1548
01:27:13,300 --> 01:27:15,920
 But I think Auburn, obviously, they've got some issues.

1549
01:27:16,080 --> 01:27:17,360
 They've got to do better offensively.

1550
01:27:17,680 --> 01:27:21,120
 I thought Alabama looked a lot better than, you know, what you expect them to do.

1551
01:27:21,260 --> 01:27:26,620
 And, you know, they've got – they can start to move forward and start adding more to their offense.

1552
01:27:26,980 --> 01:27:32,460
 I mean, I mean, it was a little bit of a limited offensive scheme, but you want to make sure you don't showcase the whole playbook.

1553
01:27:32,660 --> 01:27:34,300
 So I was impressed by both of those.

1554
01:27:34,960 --> 01:27:35,360
 Absolutely.

1555
01:27:36,080 --> 01:27:40,720
 Congratulations to Central Florida, the team you cover, 73-6.

1556
01:27:40,720 --> 01:27:41,160
 Woo!

1557
01:27:42,080 --> 01:27:47,660
 Pulled out a can of whoop you-know-what on Bethune-Cookman, but a very good debut.

1558
01:27:48,320 --> 01:27:49,820
 For UCL.

1559
01:27:50,280 --> 01:27:54,520
 Matt, we've got to run to a tennis update, buddy.

1560
01:27:55,260 --> 01:27:57,080
 But, listen, great job as always.

1561
01:27:57,220 --> 01:28:01,060
 Where can we get online and get your coverage of UCL and everything else?

1562
01:28:01,800 --> 01:28:05,580
 Yeah, you can go to OrlandoSentinel.com to check out the latest or follow me on social media.

1563
01:28:05,940 --> 01:28:06,720
 Oh, that's Matt Merchel.

1564
01:28:07,420 --> 01:28:10,800
 Matt, listen, man, thanks so much for your time, Dave, and have a great week, okay?

1565
01:28:11,560 --> 01:28:12,460
 All right, take care, guys.

1566
01:28:12,520 --> 01:28:13,000
 Thank you, buddy.

1567
01:28:13,060 --> 01:28:16,500
 Matt Merchel, the Orlando Sentinel Gridiron 365 is a podcast.

1568
01:28:16,740 --> 01:28:20,680
 Coming up, the latest on the Tide with the Redfish after the latest from the U.S. Open.

1569
01:28:28,380 --> 01:28:32,200
 Westwood One Sports presents this special tennis update sponsored by Prevagen.

1570
01:28:32,340 --> 01:28:33,860
 Prevagen, made for your brain.

1571
01:28:34,380 --> 01:28:44,300
 The U.S. Open three-peat still alive for No. 1 Arena Sabalenka as she outlasts Wimbledon champ Lyndon Noskova in a third-set super tiebreaker to get to the semifinals.

1572
01:28:44,780 --> 01:28:48,700
 Right now at Arthur Ashe Stadium, the All-American men's quarterfinal just started.

1573
01:28:49,060 --> 01:28:53,280
 Francis Tiafoe, the name you know, against the name you might not, Alex Mickelson.

1574
01:28:53,680 --> 01:28:54,640
 I love being under the radar.

1575
01:28:54,740 --> 01:28:55,060
 It's great.

1576
01:28:55,160 --> 01:28:56,200
 I would definitely agree with you.

1577
01:28:56,260 --> 01:29:02,840
 I think I've been pretty under the radar, but at the same time, you know, there's a lot of guys that are younger than me that have been playing super, super well.

1578
01:29:03,000 --> 01:29:07,440
 So, you know, we could say I haven't, you know, deserved the attention, and I'm all good with it.

1579
01:29:07,500 --> 01:29:11,720
 You know, you get what you earn, and yeah, you know, here we are.

1580
01:29:12,520 --> 01:29:15,320
 Mickelson has not lost a set so far through four matches.

1581
01:29:15,760 --> 01:29:16,820
 Great schedule tonight.

1582
01:29:16,920 --> 01:29:22,780
 Americans Jessica Pagula and Emma Navarro up first, and defending champ Carlos Alcaraz against Ben Shelton.

1583
01:29:23,200 --> 01:29:25,820
 With this tennis update, Brad Heller, Westwood One Sports.

 Drivers who switched to Progressive could save hundreds just by bundling home on auto insurance.

1625
01:32:00,420 --> 01:32:01,940
 Because you can't go wrong saving money.

1626
01:32:02,300 --> 01:32:05,280
 Unless you spend it on a guitar and never learn to play it but lie and say that you did.

1627
01:32:05,380 --> 01:32:09,280
 Then someone hands you a guitar at a party and asks you to play, so you decide to improvise this.

1628
01:32:09,560 --> 01:32:11,580
 Well, don't you know that dream...

1629
01:32:11,580 --> 01:32:12,220
 Sorry, no.

1630
01:32:12,540 --> 01:32:12,900
 Dream.

1631
01:32:13,280 --> 01:32:14,200
 But that's not it.

1632
01:32:14,540 --> 01:32:15,180
 Uh...

1633
01:32:15,180 --> 01:32:18,140
 Dreams are fun and also good.

1634
01:32:18,160 --> 01:32:19,120

1635
01:32:19,260 --> 01:32:20,880
 Bundling and saving money with Progressive.

1636
01:32:21,080 --> 01:32:22,640
 Well, depends on how you spend it.

1637
01:32:22,940 --> 01:32:24,980

1638
01:32:25,120 --> 01:32:26,360

 Sports Radio 93.9.

1641
01:32:31,920 --> 01:32:32,900
 The score.

1642
01:32:33,360 --> 01:32:35,120
 Onyx, I keep having stomach issues.

1643
01:32:35,340 --> 01:32:36,360
 Please make me a doctor's appointment.

1644
01:32:36,580 --> 01:32:36,840
 Okay.

1645
01:32:37,060 --> 01:32:40,080
 Are you suffering from diarrhea, bloating, gas, or oily stools?

1646
01:32:40,280 --> 01:32:43,920
 If so, you may want to ask your doctor if it could actually be a problem with your pancreas,

1647
01:32:44,020 --> 01:32:46,920
 called exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, or EPI.

1648
01:32:47,020 --> 01:32:47,740
 My pancreas?

1649
01:32:47,960 --> 01:32:48,820
 How is EPI treated?

1650
01:32:48,820 --> 01:32:53,140
 A prescription medicine like Creon, pancrealipase, is used to treat people who can't digest food

1651
01:32:53,140 --> 01:32:55,540
 normally because their pancreas doesn't make enough enzymes.

1652
01:32:55,800 --> 01:32:58,040
 Creon is the number one prescribed treatment for EPI.

1653
01:32:58,120 --> 01:33:01,400
 Creon may increase your chance of fibrosing colonopathy, a rare bowel disorder.

1654
01:33:01,600 --> 01:33:04,700
 Tell your doctor if you have a history of intestinal blockage or scarring or thickening of your

1655
01:33:04,700 --> 01:33:08,380
 bowel wall, if you are allergic to pork, or if you have gout, kidney problems, or worsening of

1656
01:33:08,380 --> 01:33:09,360
 painful swollen joints.

1657
01:33:09,520 --> 01:33:13,620
 Call your doctor if you have any unusual or severe gastrointestinal symptoms or allergic reactions.

1658
01:33:13,940 --> 01:33:16,320
 Take Creon as directed by your doctor, and always with food.

1659
01:33:16,420 --> 01:33:18,640
 Do not chew capsules, as this may cause mouth irritation.

1660
01:33:18,920 --> 01:33:22,920
 Other side effects may include blood sugar changes, gas, dizziness, sore throat, and cough.

1661
01:33:23,040 --> 01:33:24,560
 These are not all the side effects of Creon.

 Welcome back in.

1736
01:36:57,960 --> 01:37:03,180
 So, what are those in the nose saying about Alabama's opening act for 2026?

1737
01:37:03,520 --> 01:37:06,520
 Nobody does a better job than answering that question than the redfish.

1738
01:37:06,600 --> 01:37:11,780
 William Barger, former University of Alabama offensive lineman, and now a co-host of Baum's Radio.

1739
01:37:11,980 --> 01:37:12,820
 William, welcome in.

1740
01:37:12,880 --> 01:37:13,440
 How are you?

1741
01:37:14,380 --> 01:37:15,180
 Doing good, fellas.

1742
01:37:15,280 --> 01:37:17,300
 Hope y'all are having a good Tuesday as well.

1743
01:37:17,360 --> 01:37:17,680
 Hey, bud.

1744
01:37:17,840 --> 01:37:22,480
 Well, I got a feeling you're having a better week after Game 1 this year than last year.

1745
01:37:22,600 --> 01:37:24,540
 William, we've talked about it.

1746
01:37:24,580 --> 01:37:27,460
 Now you've seen Act 1 in the books.

1747
01:37:27,680 --> 01:37:28,440
 Where do you start?

1748
01:37:28,520 --> 01:37:33,220
 And you do a good job breaking down the five critical observations about this team.

1749
01:37:33,320 --> 01:37:35,520
 William, where do you start with those critical observations?

1750
01:37:36,980 --> 01:37:50,540
 Well, I mean, I think if you look at, you know, the biggest concern, you know, heading into the 2026 season for Alabama, I think it starts and stops with the offensive line.

1751
01:37:50,540 --> 01:38:07,440
 And, you know, my biggest concern, which proved to be a waste of time, was, you know, with right tackle Jarvin James, who I thought probably had a really consistent performance Saturday.

1752
01:38:07,880 --> 01:38:10,540
 It looked like he was, you know, ready for the moment.

1753
01:38:11,700 --> 01:38:18,220
 So, and, you know, the overall performance of the offensive line, look, it was a long way from perfect.

1754
01:38:18,500 --> 01:38:20,940
 There's a lot of things that need to be cleaned up.

1755
01:38:21,460 --> 01:38:32,260
 But, you know, I think I saw a stat where they were like 11 of 12 in third and short, short yardage goal line situations.

1756
01:38:33,740 --> 01:38:38,000
 And, you know, they couldn't have produced a stat like that against Samford last year.

1757
01:38:38,000 --> 01:38:41,920
 So, you know, there's progress has been made.

1758
01:38:42,020 --> 01:38:45,540
 I think there's been, you know, baby step level improvement.

1759
01:38:46,660 --> 01:38:56,800
 And, you know, I think when you factor in, you know, first time starter at cornerback, you know, four new offensive line starters.

1760
01:38:58,200 --> 01:39:08,420
 You know, I thought the new running backs and an old one, I thought, you know, Daniel Hill, Treshawn Brown, you know, Crowell, even Kevin Riley.

1761
01:39:09,620 --> 01:39:11,580
 You know, they looked really good.

1762
01:39:12,520 --> 01:39:24,060
 And, you know, for an offensive lineman standpoint, you know, you saw at times when somebody got beat on that offensive line, as opposed to last year with the play being dead, the backfield.

1763
01:39:24,940 --> 01:39:32,800
 You know, those backs had the ability to make one guy miss and allow for a positive play to develop.

1764
01:39:33,200 --> 01:39:41,600
 And, you know, that's how, you know, a running play is drawn up is, you know, the running backs got to make one guy miss during the course of the play.

1765
01:39:41,660 --> 01:39:43,420
 There's going to be one guy unaccounted for.

1766
01:39:43,900 --> 01:39:46,320
 So, you know, I was very pleased with that.

1767
01:39:46,460 --> 01:39:55,300
 I mean, I would say overall, offensively, you know, I'm going to take points away from the wide receiver group for the drops.

1768
01:39:56,380 --> 01:39:59,140
 There was a lack of separation at times.

1769
01:39:59,340 --> 01:40:04,460
 But, you know, there was a lot of times that East Carolina was dropping seven and eight guys into coverage, too.

1770
01:40:04,640 --> 01:40:07,420
 So, but I was very pleased.

1771
01:40:07,640 --> 01:40:10,420
 You know, I gave the defense an A minus.

1772
01:40:10,540 --> 01:40:12,420
 I gave the offense a solid B.

1773
01:40:13,980 --> 01:40:16,260
 Your thoughts, you mentioned 11 and 12.

1774
01:40:16,580 --> 01:40:22,180
 And let's face it, the Lions' best friend there is having a quarterback who can take nothing and make something out of it.

1775
01:40:22,620 --> 01:40:23,380
 That's good.

1776
01:40:23,500 --> 01:40:30,460
 But how concerned are you going forward when the competition steps up, maybe the physicality of the obvious there with Russell?

1777
01:40:30,460 --> 01:40:37,220
 I mean, this kid, I think he personally exceeded expectations because, let's face it, they were off the charts coming in.

1778
01:40:37,420 --> 01:40:39,220
 And I didn't see anything to make me feel otherwise.

1779
01:40:39,440 --> 01:40:43,300
 But your thoughts just about his mobility and maybe what did they learn?

1780
01:40:43,340 --> 01:40:46,700
 Because, let's face it, they say the biggest jump, and I'm not telling you anything, you don't know.

1781
01:40:46,740 --> 01:40:49,500
 You've been there and done it, is from game one to game two.

1782
01:40:49,620 --> 01:40:51,060
 Can you correct the mistakes?

1783
01:40:51,200 --> 01:40:53,640
 Your thoughts overall from that standpoint about Russell?

1784
01:40:54,180 --> 01:40:57,680
 And maybe, here's a thought, slide instead of going in like a halfback.

1785
01:40:59,120 --> 01:41:03,160
 Well, you know, I'll say this.

1786
01:41:03,160 --> 01:41:17,700
 I mean, you know, I think the good news is, you know, in regards to his game, you know, yeah, there's pre-snap reads, you know, communication, you know, operational stuff that he certainly can get better at.

1787
01:41:18,020 --> 01:41:27,780
 And, you know, before anybody gets too excited, despite, you know, that East Carolina team being the oldest roster this team's going to see all year,

1788
01:41:27,780 --> 01:41:32,920
 where they were even older and more experienced than the Indiana team last year was.

1789
01:41:33,040 --> 01:41:33,260
 Right.

1790
01:41:33,420 --> 01:41:33,680
 Right.

1791
01:41:33,680 --> 01:41:36,260
 You know, it's still going to be a step up in competition.

1792
01:41:36,720 --> 01:41:46,460
 And just like the East Carolina game, with it being a new head coach, a lot of transfers, they do have one game of tape to look at.

1793
01:41:46,700 --> 01:41:49,880
 So, you know, it's going to be a step up in competition.

1794
01:41:50,960 --> 01:41:54,500
 You know, it's a road game, so that there's another thing.

1795
01:41:54,980 --> 01:41:58,140
 Not that, you know, that's a tough place to play up there.

1796
01:41:59,240 --> 01:42:16,740
 But, you know, I think that before you apply it to an opponent, I think you have to apply it, you know, inward as an individual player, you know, as an individual in a group setting like the offensive line, the wide receivers, whatever.

1797
01:42:17,500 --> 01:42:21,380
 You know, that they have to fix the stuff up that wasn't so good Saturday.

1798
01:42:21,760 --> 01:42:23,960
 And there really wasn't a lot to complain about.

1799
01:42:24,100 --> 01:42:28,080
 I mean, you know, illegal procedures, two men in motion.

1800
01:42:28,960 --> 01:42:35,560
 You know, you didn't see outside of that ridiculous holding call that they had on Joe Gotti.

1801
01:42:35,660 --> 01:42:35,880
 Yep.

1802
01:42:36,800 --> 01:42:43,200
 You know, I've got pictures in my office of myself making that same block.

1803
01:42:44,460 --> 01:42:46,940
 You know, and no flags were thrown.

1804
01:42:47,260 --> 01:42:56,760
 So, you know, and the fact that the flag came out after they saw that it was going to be an obvious, you know, not get touched by anybody touchdown was even more suspicious.

1805
01:42:56,760 --> 01:42:59,260
 But, you know, it is what it is.

1806
01:42:59,360 --> 01:43:10,840
 I think the fan base at least got to see just how electric Treshawn Brown really is and, you know, where the urban legend has come from that we've been talking about on your show for several months.

1807
01:43:11,120 --> 01:43:25,060
 But, you know, I think the things, you know, the next step is the windows are probably going to be a little bit smaller and a little tighter and they can close quicker at Lexington this weekend for Keylong Russell.

1808
01:43:25,760 --> 01:43:30,940
 You know, it's a lot of the good things that I saw from the new center, Del Gotti.

1809
01:43:31,360 --> 01:43:38,860
 I did see him get, you know, overwhelmed at times at the point of attack by a 300-plus pound defensive tackle.

1810
01:43:40,180 --> 01:43:46,460
 You know, and again, he's got plenty of people on that team on the other side of the line of scrimmage he can work on that with this week.

1811
01:43:47,080 --> 01:44:02,000
 So, you know, I think that, but now that this game is on tape for Kentucky to look at, you know, it's going to be interesting to see how their defensive coordinator goes about trying to slow the Keelan Russell train down.

1812
01:44:02,120 --> 01:44:17,320
 I mean, do you go the East Carolina route and just, you know, flood the box and get, you know, there's only, you know, three or four people left in the box and you drop everybody into coverage to maybe try and keep a wide receiver from beating you deep.

1813
01:44:17,320 --> 01:44:23,860
 And you just give him a free 10-yard quarterback, you know, scamper when he wants it.

1814
01:44:23,960 --> 01:44:28,200
 Or are they going to be more honest and, you know, have a spy on Russell?

1815
01:44:28,200 --> 01:44:36,780
 Are they going to be more men in the box and play more honest on the back end, which, you know, leads to more wide receivers getting open and finding soft spots.

1816
01:44:37,040 --> 01:44:52,720
 So, you know, I would rather be, you know, on the Alabama side of the stick going into this Kentucky matchup this weekend than trying to figure out which poison do I want to kill myself with trying to slow this offense down.

1817
01:44:53,120 --> 01:45:03,760
 William, as far as some tweaks, I nearly fell out there that there were some quarterbacks under center, which was interesting.

1818
01:45:03,760 --> 01:45:13,700
 But the one that I think I've heard 20 people tell me this in the last 10 years, even some with Nick Saban, and he did it much better.

1819
01:45:14,300 --> 01:45:23,360
 When Alabama got inside the five-yard line, heaven forbid, they put a fullback who was Lindsey in front of the tailback.

1820
01:45:23,780 --> 01:45:29,760
 I thought that I had been transported back to 1995, William.

1821
01:45:30,180 --> 01:45:37,260
 Your opinion of putting a, heaven forbid, fullback in front of the tailback down on the goal line?

1822
01:45:38,020 --> 01:45:43,720
 Well, I mean, I hate to have to one-up you, but I'm going to tell you what got me more excited than even that.

1823
01:45:44,300 --> 01:45:51,140
 What was out of the same personnel grouping when they brought the big children of the corn looking tight end in motion.

1824
01:45:51,140 --> 01:45:52,300
 Yep, exactly.

1825
01:45:52,300 --> 01:46:00,800
 As an H-back, and you had a fullback and an H-back leading their way through the hall, which goes back to the point that I made earlier.

1826
01:46:00,960 --> 01:46:05,020
 That's why they were so successful in the short yardage and goal line situation.

1827
01:46:06,080 --> 01:46:08,600
 And they were intentional about it.

1828
01:46:08,660 --> 01:46:12,860
 They didn't just do that one or two times to put it on tape.

1829
01:46:12,860 --> 01:46:23,740
 You could tell Ryan Grubb, which the fan base is guilty of jumping on his case for not being intentional and sticking with something that's working.

1830
01:46:24,340 --> 01:46:34,200
 Well, he did it Saturday, and I think everybody should be pretty pleased with the result because those are two of the most physical blockers.

1831
01:46:35,400 --> 01:46:44,440
 You know, Jay Lindsey was a quiet star of the summer scrimmages, more so as a receiver because he had multiple touchdown catches.

1832
01:46:44,440 --> 01:46:53,740
 But those are two of the most physical and strongest, what I call power athletic, you know, players.

1833
01:46:53,880 --> 01:47:02,360
 They're basically extra offensive linemen, but they're athletic enough, you know, not to get that c***** 50, 60, or 70-numbered jersey put on their backs.

1834
01:47:02,680 --> 01:47:05,300
 So, I was excited to see it.

1835
01:47:05,460 --> 01:47:08,980
 I think it's something certainly that Alabama can build on.

1836
01:47:10,260 --> 01:47:23,160
 And so, to me, that was the best takeaway of Saturday offensively was there wasn't just like a test market for, you know, being physical.

1837
01:47:23,620 --> 01:47:28,020
 It was intentional, and they showed it over and over and over and over again.

1838
01:47:28,140 --> 01:47:29,780
 And, man, let me tell you something.

1839
01:47:30,200 --> 01:47:37,820
 You know, going back to my high school days playing, you know, a stand-up defensive end, outside linebacker position, whatever you want to call it.

1840
01:47:38,100 --> 01:47:48,280
 You know, seeing that kind of action coming at you, it's not a fun place to be when, you know, both guys are 250, 260 pounds.

1841
01:47:48,440 --> 01:47:50,680
 You know, they've got a five-yard run and had a start.

1842
01:47:51,200 --> 01:47:59,980
 So, you know, there again, man, I thought that Ryan Grubb was very savvy in what he showed.

1843
01:48:00,100 --> 01:48:01,880
 I've got a very sneaky suspicion.

1844
01:48:02,060 --> 01:48:05,320
 He showed a lot more in the run game than he did in the route tree.

1845
01:48:05,560 --> 01:48:05,720
 Yeah.

1846
01:48:05,720 --> 01:48:05,820
 Yeah.

1847
01:48:05,820 --> 01:48:09,560
 But I liked what he did.

1848
01:48:10,140 --> 01:48:15,700
 You know, it was almost like, hey, y'all b****** and complained about this, and, you know, rightfully so.

1849
01:48:15,960 --> 01:48:18,140
 But, you know, we're going to shut you up in week one.

1850
01:48:19,120 --> 01:48:20,940
 William Redfish, bars are coming from you.

1851
01:48:21,000 --> 01:48:21,780
 That means a lot.

1852
01:48:21,860 --> 01:48:23,360
 You've been there and done it in the trenches.

1853
01:48:23,780 --> 01:48:29,220
 William, speaking of Ryan, how concerned are you with the other Ryan and the drops on the offensive side of the ball?

1854
01:48:30,560 --> 01:48:35,940
 You know, more than anything, man, I really hate that it happened.

1855
01:48:37,260 --> 01:48:45,400
 You know, if he doesn't have those two drops to go along with a really nice job that he did in the punt return game,

1856
01:48:45,640 --> 01:48:53,660
 we'd probably be sitting here talking about him with 250-plus all-purpose yards and probably the SEC player of the week.

1857
01:48:54,040 --> 01:48:59,800
 So there'll be plenty of more opportunities, you know, for Ryan Williams to improve on that.

1858
01:49:00,280 --> 01:49:12,620
 But, you know, I personally don't see it in the same lens that I saw it last year because there were a lot of explosive plays, you know,

1859
01:49:12,620 --> 01:49:14,400
 mixed between the two drops.

1860
01:49:14,400 --> 01:49:21,040
 You know, kind of like last year, there'd be a drop or two, and it was like he went into a shell inside himself and just, you know,

1861
01:49:21,080 --> 01:49:23,660
 was a Casper the Ghost the rest of the day.

1862
01:49:23,840 --> 01:49:26,520
 So I don't think it's the same thing.

1863
01:49:26,660 --> 01:49:34,500
 Certainly it's a concern, but I've got a feeling Derek Nix and Ryan Williams are going to work on that a lot this week in practice.

1864
01:49:35,360 --> 01:49:43,900
 William, we've been talking about how much bigger and physical, speaking of that, the defensive line going into the season.

1865
01:49:43,900 --> 01:49:47,140
 You could begin to see some of this stuff in some runs.

1866
01:49:47,300 --> 01:49:53,320
 Three sacks, five tackles, four loss, three and out on four drives, eight punts.

1867
01:49:53,880 --> 01:49:56,120
 They only gained 162 yards.

1868
01:49:56,220 --> 01:50:00,680
 Sixty of that was on that phantom holding call that you talked about.

1869
01:50:01,040 --> 01:50:04,300
 William, your assessment of the Alabama front seven on defense?

1870
01:50:05,120 --> 01:50:07,060
 Man, I really liked it.

1871
01:50:07,060 --> 01:50:23,300
 And, you know, if people enjoy, you know, line of scrimmage play the way that I do, I would go back and watch the replay and, you know, watch how, you know, that defensive line stood those offensive linemen up and held their ground.

1872
01:50:23,800 --> 01:50:32,520
 You know, you saw Tompkins do it over and over again, but to me, you know, I was kind of expecting that a little bit.

1873
01:50:32,520 --> 01:50:44,080
 What really kind of hit me in the face was how well and how fast both Woodson and Mets closed on the ball.

1874
01:50:44,300 --> 01:50:55,320
 And, you know, they don't show up a lot with, you know, tackles on the stat sheets because the big fellas in front of them were, you know, wrapping people up and putting them down so well.

1875
01:50:55,320 --> 01:51:04,720
 But, man, you could just see a different click up in athleticism out of those two and just, I really liked it.

1876
01:51:05,120 --> 01:51:11,780
 You know, like I said, I got to ding them a tad for the busted coverage, but I expected that.

1877
01:51:11,980 --> 01:51:15,960
 It's always a concern in, you know, early games.

1878
01:51:15,960 --> 01:51:30,680
 But, man, besides that, any time the defense knocks the quarterback out of the game and gets a turnover for a pick six, I'm willing to, you know, wipe away other mistakes and there weren't any other ones to wipe out.

1879
01:51:30,780 --> 01:51:37,620
 But that's, to me, you know, and if this sounds sadistic, you know, send the cops to give me.

1880
01:51:37,680 --> 01:51:38,140
 I don't care.

1881
01:51:38,320 --> 01:51:42,040
 But that, to me, should be the goal of the front seven in every game.

1882
01:51:42,040 --> 01:51:48,060
 I'm not saying kill the guy, but, you know, put him in the injury tent, make the backup quarterback come in.

1883
01:51:49,180 --> 01:51:55,600
 And, you know, I was never a fan of Nick Saban's philosophy of affecting the quarterback.

1884
01:51:55,820 --> 01:51:56,780
 I don't want him affected.

1885
01:51:56,920 --> 01:52:01,420
 I want him standing over there scared to death with the coach on the sideline.

1886
01:52:01,640 --> 01:52:08,140
 Kind of like you saw Chris Vizina of Clemson do it by the start of the second quarter in Baton Rouge Saturday night.

1887
01:52:11,640 --> 01:52:13,020
 Oh, you're exactly right.

1888
01:52:13,020 --> 01:52:15,260
 Oh, you're impeccable sources.

1889
01:52:17,360 --> 01:52:19,720
 Kellen DeBoer kind of hinted at this.

1890
01:52:20,040 --> 01:52:26,700
 A.K. Deer, Jaira Edwards may be back sooner than later, and Noah Rogers behind him.

1891
01:52:26,880 --> 01:52:32,400
 Will all three of these guys be playing by Florida State or South Carolina?

1892
01:52:34,200 --> 01:52:41,800
 I think the safe bet, maybe you see Jaira and A.K. get a little sprinkle.

1893
01:52:42,660 --> 01:52:49,760
 But I would say the goal probably is to have all three of those guys, including Noah Rogers, back by Georgia.

1894
01:52:49,900 --> 01:52:50,020
 Yeah.

1895
01:52:50,860 --> 01:52:59,520
 And, you know, I sure would like to know, you know, did they ship our buddy Crowell off to Cuba for stem cell therapy?

1896
01:52:59,760 --> 01:53:08,860
 I mean, I, you know, a 225-pound kid doing a pirouette in midair, landing on that ankle and changing direction.

1897
01:53:09,480 --> 01:53:16,740
 It doesn't add up to an ankle injury to me, but I, you know, Kellen, you just keep doing what you're doing.

1898
01:53:16,940 --> 01:53:17,820
 Sandbag him, William.

1899
01:53:18,120 --> 01:53:18,940
 Sandbag him.

1900
01:53:19,080 --> 01:53:23,120
 I mean, I'm enjoying the poker that you're playing with these injury reports in the media.

1901
01:53:23,120 --> 01:53:23,960
 Oh, Crowell.

1902
01:53:24,920 --> 01:53:25,400
 Absolutely.

1903
01:53:25,740 --> 01:53:29,560
 Especially if they get, especially if they get plays like we saw from Crowell on Saturday.

1904
01:53:29,760 --> 01:53:31,260
 Oh, that was amazing.

1905
01:53:31,540 --> 01:53:33,940
 Turned a three-yard loss into a touchdown.

1906
01:53:34,220 --> 01:53:35,300
 You're exactly right.

1907
01:53:35,780 --> 01:53:38,160
 Listen, great synopsis of the game.

1908
01:53:38,680 --> 01:53:43,520
 Going to be interesting going to Lexington because, again, it's a little bit of a different animal.

1909
01:53:44,040 --> 01:53:47,440
 Listen, always enjoy the conversation beginning of the week with you.

1910
01:53:47,800 --> 01:53:48,640
 Have a great week.

1911
01:53:48,640 --> 01:53:50,120
 Listen to this again next week.

1912
01:53:50,940 --> 01:53:51,480
 All right, guys.

1913
01:53:51,560 --> 01:53:52,180
 Talk to you later.

1914
01:53:52,780 --> 01:53:54,640
 The Redfish, William Barger.

1915
01:53:54,700 --> 01:53:57,820
 BB, obviously, a historic weekend for UNA.

1916
01:53:58,520 --> 01:54:02,100
 Showing up in Arkansas against an SEC opponent coming up tomorrow.

1917
01:54:02,160 --> 01:54:04,200
 We're going to delve a whole lot deeper into it.

1918
01:54:04,240 --> 01:54:06,600
 Coach Brent Jermott is going to be on board with a whole lot more.

1919
01:54:06,680 --> 01:54:08,160
 That's coming up for you tomorrow.

1920
01:54:08,260 --> 01:54:13,180
 In the meantime, the Braves tonight trying to keep on track here down the stretch with the regular season.

1921
01:54:13,260 --> 01:54:15,300
 Trying to get in there without any problems.

1922
01:54:15,300 --> 01:54:18,200
 So check out that game later on tonight here on

1923
01:54:18,200 --> 01:54:19,280
 on 93.9 The Score.

1924
01:54:19,360 --> 01:54:20,480
 It's going to take care of us for now.

1925
01:54:20,900 --> 01:54:23,460
 On behalf of BB, Greg, James Blair, the entire crew here.

1926
01:54:23,880 --> 01:54:25,800
 Harold Buck, thank you so much for your time today.

1927
01:54:26,120 --> 01:54:26,700
 Let's do it again tomorrow.

1928
01:54:26,840 --> 01:54:28,200
 Noon to two for the Boomer Buck Show.

1929
01:54:28,260 --> 01:54:29,220
 Back here on Sports Radio.

1930
01:54:29,420 --> 01:54:30,440
