1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,740
 Now, get ready to roll Shoals, Decatur, Athens and all of Northwest Alabama and Southern Tennessee.

2
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,760
 It's time for the Valley's Exclusive FM Sports Voice.

3
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,280
 The Boomo Bugg Show.

4
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:23,820
 Your exclusive inside track to the Tigers, Tennessee and the rest of the SEC.

5
00:00:24,620 --> 00:00:29,980
 Now, your host, Harold Bugg on 93.9 The Score.

6
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,120
 Good afternoon and welcome here to the Boomo Bugg Show.

7
00:00:34,220 --> 00:00:36,020
 I'm Harold Bugg alongside Brett Beaird.

8
00:00:36,140 --> 00:00:39,340
 Thank you so much for giving us free ride around the Tennessee Valley.

9
00:00:39,480 --> 00:00:42,380
 Brett Beaird, welcome in where the question today is very simple.

10
00:00:43,160 --> 00:00:50,380
 Does Christmas come three months from today under the tree or this weekend on the college gridirons?

11
00:00:50,460 --> 00:00:52,280
 Good afternoon, welcome in and how are you?

12
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,060
 Happy Football Friday to you.

13
00:00:54,140 --> 00:00:59,280
 I think if you're a big football fan, it happens tomorrow with all these incredible SEC games.

14
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:07,100
 Harold, just to begin on a little bit of a somber note, Belgrine High School has canceled their football game tonight

15
00:01:07,100 --> 00:01:13,400
 and replaced it with a community-wide prayer vigil for student Carter Rainey,

16
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,800
 who was seriously injured in a car accident earlier this week.

17
00:01:16,860 --> 00:01:18,460
 It will be healed tonight at 6.

18
00:01:18,980 --> 00:01:24,000
 Our prayers and good wishes are certainly with the Rainey family and with Belgrine.

19
00:01:24,220 --> 00:01:29,280
 We'll preview Alabama, Tennessee, and Auburn's big game tomorrow.

20
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:35,860
 But Jimmy is here right now to give us his keys to an Alabama win over South Carolina.

21
00:01:36,260 --> 00:01:40,740
 You know, when you say the name Jimmy, that's another way of saying two things.

22
00:01:41,380 --> 00:01:42,440
 TGI Health.

23
00:01:42,540 --> 00:01:47,320
 It's Friday, which means it's time for some big boy college football this weekend.

24
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:48,700
 Jimmy is Jimmy Stein.

25
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:54,360
 He's a co-host of Locked On, Belmont, part of the Locked On Network with Luke Robinson.

26
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,040
 Cover Crimson is the podcast with a fellow by the name of Travis Reier on YouTube.

27
00:01:59,580 --> 00:02:00,500
 Jimmy, welcome in.

28
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:01,960
 Happy TGI up to you.

29
00:02:01,980 --> 00:02:02,420
 How are you?

30
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:03,960
 Oh, doing great.

31
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:05,780
 Just glad another football weekend's here.

32
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:06,220
 Amen.

33
00:02:06,740 --> 00:02:09,340
 A quarter in the house, Jimmy.

34
00:02:09,740 --> 00:02:16,100
 The question is, will there be thunder and lightning or maybe even jackets this weekend?

35
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,480
 And will Alabama finally play a four-quarter game?

36
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:29,100
 Well, you know, if the pattern all season long is falling behind, then roaring back to win

37
00:02:29,100 --> 00:02:30,440
 with an offensive explosion.

38
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:30,940
 Do it!

39
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:35,540
 Maybe Alabama fans will take it and get that every single week.

40
00:02:35,540 --> 00:02:38,860
 But you're playing with fire as the schedule gets tougher.

41
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,800
 You fall behind in the next couple of weeks.

42
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,920
 It's going to be a steeper hill to climb in terms of getting back in it.

43
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:51,480
 So Alabama does need to learn to get off to a better start than they have.

44
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,880
 It's a real vexing as to how or why this is happening.

45
00:02:56,540 --> 00:03:01,900
 Weirdly, you know, last week, South Carolina got off to a good start against Mississippi State,

46
00:03:01,900 --> 00:03:05,440
 and then it was Mississippi State roaring back, scoring 41 points.

47
00:03:05,640 --> 00:03:13,160
 And really about 36 minutes of action scored 41 points because South Carolina had shut them out

48
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:14,540
 to halfway through the second quarter.

49
00:03:14,740 --> 00:03:21,040
 So South Carolina has played in a game that looked kind of similar to Alabama,

50
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,020
 games against Kentucky and Florida State.

51
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:32,020
 So I don't think it's crazy to project it could happen for a third time in a row that South Carolina gets off to a good start,

52
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,600
 and then Alabama comes back.

53
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,940
 It's going to be a great home environment.

54
00:03:37,100 --> 00:03:41,540
 The first two home games for Alabama, maybe not what the fans had in mind.

55
00:03:41,540 --> 00:03:44,620
 The first one, it was 125 degrees.

56
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:52,240
 And the second one, you had the lightning delays, you know, in the last one.

57
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:59,380
 So it'll be nice to have a very comfortable temperature and no rain at all in the forecast as of now.

58
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:00,740
 Though I may have just jinxed that.

59
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:08,140
 But I think the fans are going to enjoy it, but maybe that will help Alabama get off to a better start.

60
00:04:08,140 --> 00:04:11,200
 But I won't be surprised to see South Carolina get out to a lead.

61
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,860
 Jimmy, let me ask you about some of your keys.

62
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:20,420
 I know getting South Carolina off the field on third down, which Alabama did not,

63
00:04:20,980 --> 00:04:24,300
 against Florida State when they went 8-4-15,

64
00:04:24,940 --> 00:04:31,040
 try to keep pressure off of Keelan Russell, South Carolina, eight sacks in their first three games.

65
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,540
 But the first two games, the competition a little dim.

66
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,380
 And keep Sellers in the pocket.

67
00:04:37,380 --> 00:04:39,620
 He can run, as we all know.

68
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:44,300
 Jim, what's Jimmy Stein's keys to Alabama beating South Carolina?

69
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,620
 Well, forcing turnovers.

70
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:48,760
 Forcing turnovers.

71
00:04:49,020 --> 00:04:53,060
 Lenore Sellers has been turnover prone in his time.

72
00:04:53,280 --> 00:04:55,580
 It's a new offense that puts a lot on him.

73
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,100
 Alabama forced a turnover on Sellers last year.

74
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,400
 It was a fumble that was caused by Deontay Lawson very late in the game.

75
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:11,120
 But it was a turnover that directly led to Alabama being able to pull it out in the final minute against South Carolina and Columbia a year ago.

76
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,840
 Kane Womack's defense feasts on turnovers.

77
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,320
 He emphasizes it.

78
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:24,320
 The DBs, I'm sure, are as fired up as ever to make up for a subpar performance, you know, last week.

79
00:05:25,100 --> 00:05:29,680
 I think for Alabama to win the game, they need to force turnovers.

80
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,720
 South Carolina can be helpful in that way.

81
00:05:31,780 --> 00:05:38,420
 To me, it's the number one key of the game for Alabama to force turnovers and not give South Carolina any cheap ones.

82
00:05:38,500 --> 00:05:44,560
 Let's remember the Kentucky onslaught started when they were gifted seven points by the Alabama offense.

83
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,320
 You know, I was looking at some of the personality on this offense for South Carolina.

84
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:54,360
 It seems the knock so far, and that doesn't mean it's going to happen tomorrow.

85
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:55,800
 They can drive the ball.

86
00:05:55,900 --> 00:05:58,880
 They can get it down to the red zone, but they have trouble hitting a big jackpot.

87
00:05:58,940 --> 00:06:00,380
 In other words, they settle for field goals.

88
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:01,840
 We'll see how that goes.

89
00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:09,500
 Your thoughts just breaking it down because, to me, last week, Florida State lulled Alabama into buying all the hype coming in.

90
00:06:09,580 --> 00:06:10,840
 They can't pass the ball.

91
00:06:11,340 --> 00:06:14,160
 Alabama's got a great secondary, so they're going to try to run the ball.

92
00:06:14,300 --> 00:06:16,380
 And finally, they got a cup of coffee and said, wait a minute.

93
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:18,220
 Maybe they tricked us here.

94
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:19,760
 Your thoughts about the strategy.

95
00:06:19,900 --> 00:06:27,720
 What did the secondary and the coaching staff learn last week to maybe come into it and have a more full, if you will, game plan?

96
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,080
 I think increasing confidence in Keelan Russell.

97
00:06:31,380 --> 00:06:34,300
 I think they were confident in him minute one, game one.

98
00:06:34,780 --> 00:06:37,400
 But until you see it in the games, you don't really know.

99
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,140
 You don't really know in the games how he's going to react to certain situations.

100
00:06:41,140 --> 00:06:46,820
 But I think leading Alabama back twice has just increased some confidence.

101
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:54,360
 So maybe I wouldn't say a more wide-open plan, but I don't think there's too much that they're not going to allow Keelan to do.

102
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,920
 I think they'll just keep handing him more as long as he shows he can handle it.

103
00:06:59,020 --> 00:07:03,740
 Now, one thing that's really aiding him in his development is the Alabama run game.

104
00:07:04,420 --> 00:07:10,220
 It seemed like when they needed to come back against Florida State and really put up a lot of points on the board,

105
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:15,100
 they ran the ball and it didn't slow down their scoring.

106
00:07:15,100 --> 00:07:23,780
 But I think in general what you might see when coaches like Kalen DeBoer and Ryan Grubb, who have a pass at ground,

107
00:07:24,580 --> 00:07:28,940
 and then they're coaching an offense where they have a lot of confidence in the run game.

108
00:07:29,740 --> 00:07:38,740
 An old football axiom that I like and that could really benefit Alabama is throw to the lead, run to the wind.

109
00:07:38,740 --> 00:07:46,940
 And I think this Alabama team could actually be pretty good at that, where Keelan's explosiveness, Keelan's arm,

110
00:07:47,580 --> 00:07:54,280
 the playmakers outside and Ryan Coleman Williams, Lottie Brooks, they have playmakers.

111
00:07:54,680 --> 00:08:00,580
 You can throw to the lead, then once you get the lead, you can not only work the clock, the run game is so good,

112
00:08:00,660 --> 00:08:07,920
 you can add to the lead as you're sort of fixated on, hey, we have a comfortable lead now, let's run the ball and shorten the game.

113
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:12,660
 As good as Alabama's run game has been, you're actually adding to the lead when you do that.

114
00:08:12,660 --> 00:08:17,480
 So I think the run game and the run game development is huge for Keelan,

115
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:23,260
 and it just helps them be more comfortable with letting Keelan lose early.

116
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,200
 Jimmy, let me ask you about special teams.

117
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:33,040
 Anytime you talk about a Beamer, you've got to talk about Beamer Ball, which is special teams.

118
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:38,420
 His dad was a guru with this, and Alabama's been pretty good.

119
00:08:38,580 --> 00:08:42,460
 Talty has been a revelation, made his last 13 kicks.

120
00:08:42,620 --> 00:08:45,520
 Quinn kicking off, kick coverage has been good.

121
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:56,800
 They had a roughing the punter, but South Carolina's got Vakori Swain, who's got 152 yards and six returns and two touchdowns.

122
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,260
 Jimmy, your thoughts on special teams?

123
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,840
 Yeah, it could be that your most valuable special teams performer is Alex Asper-Ruhoff.

124
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:04,200
 Yes.

125
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:15,520
 On Saturday, because with directional punting or long punts or even taking a bit off the distance to get it higher to give his coverage units a better chance.

126
00:09:15,700 --> 00:09:19,060
 South Carolina has an extremely dangerous returner.

127
00:09:19,740 --> 00:09:25,780
 You know this is being accounted for as part of Alabama's game plan, but Asper-Ruhoff has been a weapon.

128
00:09:25,980 --> 00:09:30,880
 I believe he's around six or seventh in the nation, you know, with his punting average.

129
00:09:31,020 --> 00:09:34,280
 I think his shortest punt so far is 40 yards.

130
00:09:34,860 --> 00:09:35,020
 Wow.

131
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,340
 So he's been booming it.

132
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,140
 He's been very impressive, but he'll have his hands full.

133
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:49,700
 A lot of times, punters with big legs, as you know, that phrase we sometimes use to describe a whole lot of things, outkick your coverage.

134
00:09:49,700 --> 00:09:53,020
 I mean, Asper-Ruhoff has the leg to outkick his coverage.

135
00:09:53,500 --> 00:09:56,940
 So he has to be careful with that dangerous return guy.

136
00:09:57,020 --> 00:10:00,080
 But how about flipping the tables on South Carolina?

137
00:10:00,560 --> 00:10:04,960
 I think it's only a matter of time before Ryan Coleman-Williams gets loose on a punt return, too.

138
00:10:05,420 --> 00:10:10,240
 He hasn't returned one yet, but you have to know that's coming.

139
00:10:11,260 --> 00:10:12,700
 Jimmy Stein with us.

140
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:13,440
 Locked on, Bama.

141
00:10:13,560 --> 00:10:15,460
 Jimmy, talk to us about the MASH report.

142
00:10:15,860 --> 00:10:21,860
 From everything we're able to gather some good news on offense, maybe not so good news on defense.

143
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,680
 A couple of guys, and from a depth standpoint, maybe MIA this week.

144
00:10:25,780 --> 00:10:29,560
 Talk to us about the pluses and minuses as far as the health of the team coming in.

145
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:35,820
 Yeah, you're probably going to see A.K. Deer running back and Noah Rogers at wide receiver making this season debuts.

146
00:10:36,420 --> 00:10:37,680
 Nothing but good news there.

147
00:10:37,900 --> 00:10:43,400
 Prior to the injury in the spring, Noah Rogers was clearly Alabama's third best receiver.

148
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,520
 It'll be interesting to see where he lands on the pecking order in his first game back.

149
00:10:48,180 --> 00:10:52,560
 A.K. Deer was the best running back Alabama had in fall camp prior to his injury.

150
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:58,240
 I doubt after missing all this time that he's going to look like Alabama's best back on Saturday.

151
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,560
 But you certainly want to give him a chance to prove that he might be.

152
00:11:02,140 --> 00:11:03,500
 So we'll see both of them.

153
00:11:03,580 --> 00:11:04,200
 That's good news.

154
00:11:04,300 --> 00:11:06,580
 But defensively, the news isn't good at all.

155
00:11:06,660 --> 00:11:15,620
 They've lost two first-team rotational pieces in Justin Hill at outside linebacker, Desmond Umazulu at that bandit position.

156
00:11:16,100 --> 00:11:19,680
 Both will be out for at least a couple of weeks, if not longer.

157
00:11:20,260 --> 00:11:26,640
 It's a big loss because these are two quality players playing in a crucial position, and you lost two.

158
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:30,540
 They don't play the same spot, but they're both outside pass rushers.

159
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:38,960
 I think the way to cure this is by seeing even more snaps from the starters in those two spots, which are Yonsei Pierre and Devin Tompkins.

160
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:45,580
 So the news isn't all bad if it means more snaps for Yonsei Pierre and Tompkins because they've been outstanding.

161
00:11:46,140 --> 00:11:46,580
 Absolutely.

162
00:11:47,260 --> 00:11:48,700
 Jimmy, two things.

163
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:58,180
 Give us your prediction for the game, and tell us where can we get on line and get you and Luke Robinson six days a week at least,

164
00:11:58,180 --> 00:12:05,600
 probably seven during the season, locked on Bama, and then you and Travis Reier with Cover Crimson.

165
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:06,760
 Yeah.

166
00:12:07,140 --> 00:12:11,080
 Travis and I are on twice a week, Mondays and Wednesdays, on Cover Crimson.

167
00:12:11,220 --> 00:12:15,120
 Luke and I are on seven days a week on Locked on Bama.

168
00:12:15,260 --> 00:12:20,160
 You can find both shows on YouTube or wherever you get your audio podcasts.

169
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,700
 I like Alabama to win 34-24.

170
00:12:24,500 --> 00:12:26,460
 I think it's going to be tight.

171
00:12:26,460 --> 00:12:36,800
 I think South Carolina is going to give Alabama all they want, and Alabama will make enough plays in the fourth quarter to be undefeated, headed to Starkville,

172
00:12:36,940 --> 00:12:39,920
 probably playing an undefeated Mississippi State team.

173
00:12:40,020 --> 00:12:44,480
 Who would have thought that might be your national game of the week back in June?

174
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:45,560
 Yeah.

175
00:12:45,700 --> 00:12:50,600
 Well, before then, enjoy the Moonshade game this weekend, Jimmy, and stay safe, okay?

176
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:52,120
 Hey, I appreciate it, guys.

177
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:52,700
 Thank you, Jimmy.

 It's UT versus UT, and the latest with RC next on the Boomo Bugg Show.

180
00:13:08,660 --> 00:13:09,540
 Get comfortable.

181
00:13:09,780 --> 00:13:11,460
 Football season is back at the carriage.

182
00:13:12,020 --> 00:13:17,120
 There are a few things we love more than a good Saturday in the South, and football season is officially back at the carriage.

183
00:13:17,380 --> 00:13:25,320
 All season long, we'll have the games rolling with plenty of cold drinks, good food, and a comfortable spot to settle in for a quarter, a game, or the better part of the day.

184
00:13:25,780 --> 00:13:32,620
 Game day Saturdays get $5 craft rafts, $2 off wine slushies, harafs of mimosas, and game day bites from the kitchen.

185
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:39,760
 Stock up in our markets before kickoff with plenty of snacks, dips, cheeses, something sweet, and all the good stuff for your game day spread.

186
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:44,780
 Football season looks pretty good from the carriage on East Mobile Street in historic downtown Florence.

187
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,980

 When you compete with your friends with Michelob Ultra on the line, competition isn't that friendly.

205
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,540

 We all hear the radio ads about the IRS.

215
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,280
 They tell you to be afraid, to be scared, and they try to frighten you into calling.

216
00:15:27,620 --> 00:15:28,540
 I'm not here to do that.

217
00:15:28,820 --> 00:15:30,640

233
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:28,140
 Texans in the cold square dance in Indy with desperation oozing out both teams' pores.

234
00:16:28,540 --> 00:16:31,800
 The big issue for Indy is the injury to number one receiver Alec Pierce.

235
00:16:31,980 --> 00:16:35,860
 Without him, they don't have anybody that can stretch the field and keep Houston's defense honest.

236
00:16:36,260 --> 00:16:41,340
 Expect D'Amico Ryans to stack the box to limit Jonathan Taylor, and then it's good luck to Daniel Jones.

237
00:16:41,740 --> 00:16:43,420
 Texans' defense will reign supreme.

238
00:16:43,420 --> 00:16:45,900
 I'm taking Houston on the money line as a slight favorite.

 Game day prep means packing the cooler, washing your jersey, and finding the perfect tailgate spot.

255
00:17:25,380 --> 00:17:26,680
 But there's one more step.

256
00:17:27,060 --> 00:17:27,620
 Grooming.

257
00:17:28,120 --> 00:17:34,480
 Walmart has the manscaped lawnmower lineup, including the streamlined Lawn Mower Go and the Lawn Mower Ultra.

258
00:17:34,740 --> 00:17:37,500

 Both feature skin-safe technology and waterproof design for easy cleanup.

260
00:17:42,120 --> 00:17:46,420
 So next time you're at Walmart loading up for the tailgate, swing by and grab a lawnmower, too.

261
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:48,820
 One last thing to think about before kickoff.

262
00:17:50,260 --> 00:17:53,200

 Welcome back in.

277
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:43,620
 According to sources, there is a pretty big football game this weekend up in Knoxville, Tennessee.

278
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,320
 It's UT versus UT, Texas, Tennessee.

279
00:18:46,620 --> 00:18:48,300
 And the latest comes from RC.

280
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:50,800
 Ryan Kellyanne is there at Go Vols 24-7.

281
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:51,920
 Ryan, welcome in.

282
00:18:51,980 --> 00:18:52,500
 How are you?

283
00:18:53,460 --> 00:18:53,900
 Hey, guys.

284
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:54,320
 Doing well.

285
00:18:54,360 --> 00:18:54,620
 How are you?

286
00:18:54,700 --> 00:18:54,940
 Hey, bud.

287
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,240
 Well, we're more enlightened, Ryan.

288
00:18:57,340 --> 00:19:01,140
 And we know this is a big weekend because this morning I had to go have some blood drawn.

289
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:02,280
 Got a checkup coming up.

290
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:08,700
 And the young lady who came in, I looked down and on her shoes was the Tennessee logo.

291
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:10,300
 We got to talking about it.

292
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,140
 She asked me who I was for this weekend.

293
00:19:12,140 --> 00:19:16,600
 And I said, anybody but Texas because she had a needle in her hand.

294
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,520
 And that got me a pain-free experience.

295
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:25,160
 So, Ryan, we know it's big because they're already breaking out the threads down here.

296
00:19:25,700 --> 00:19:30,040
 The question is, what color blood does the Peyton family run this weekend?

297
00:19:31,060 --> 00:19:33,280
 Yeah, that's a good question this weekend.

298
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:39,360
 He's already gotten – Peyton Manning has already gotten that question a week, I think, a couple months ago.

299
00:19:40,020 --> 00:19:47,040
 And when he was asked that question, he said he would be pulling for, of course, his nephew, is how he said.

300
00:19:47,140 --> 00:19:48,280
 You know, family is family.

301
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,120
 And so, we'll see.

302
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:54,040
 A lot of people I've talked to are interested in what he wears to this game,

303
00:19:54,180 --> 00:19:58,260
 thinking he still might wear a Power B logo, knowing his orange blood there.

304
00:19:58,360 --> 00:19:59,420
 But I don't know.

305
00:19:59,540 --> 00:20:01,680
 I think family trumps all.

306
00:20:01,780 --> 00:20:04,540
 So, I think he'll be conflicted at best in this game.

307
00:20:04,620 --> 00:20:09,100
 But I think he might be rooting a little more for Texas, just knowing he's got his nephew on that side.

308
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:13,800
 I wanted to look at the availability report for the injuries.

309
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,460
 And I was looking for one name, Deshaun Bishop.

310
00:20:17,460 --> 00:20:19,400
 And his name is not on that.

311
00:20:19,500 --> 00:20:20,900
 And I think he went out.

312
00:20:21,460 --> 00:20:23,120
 Vince Farrar told us Monday.

313
00:20:23,360 --> 00:20:25,220
 He's had a little bit of a hip issue.

314
00:20:25,780 --> 00:20:29,820
 But Tennessee fans may have breathed a sigh of relief when he wasn't on it.

315
00:20:29,900 --> 00:20:35,720
 Now, Gordon, the running back, and Nathan Robinson, the defensive linemen, are, quote, questionable.

316
00:20:36,020 --> 00:20:38,660
 How healthy is Tennessee going into this game?

317
00:20:39,500 --> 00:20:42,720
 You know, a little banged up, as a lot of teams are a few weeks into the season.

318
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:48,360
 You know, like you said, no serious concerns about Deshaun Bishop's availability for this game.

319
00:20:48,580 --> 00:20:49,560
 That's good news.

320
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,960
 You know, how much below 100% will he be?

321
00:20:52,100 --> 00:20:59,380
 You know, I don't think you'll notice anything as he's running on the field unless he re-aggravates something.

322
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,940
 But that was obviously not ideal for him to get.

323
00:21:07,460 --> 00:21:08,460
 Ryan Callahan again.

324
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:09,380
 Goal is 24.

325
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,180
 Ryan, a little bit of a hiccup there.

326
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:12,240
 If you can hear us.

327
00:21:12,420 --> 00:21:13,100
 Yeah, there you go.

328
00:21:13,360 --> 00:21:14,120
 There we go, Ryan.

329
00:21:14,140 --> 00:21:15,160
 We apologize for the hiccup.

330
00:21:15,220 --> 00:21:15,800
 Go ahead, please.

331
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:20,720
 Oh, yeah, I was just saying, there's not really any serious concerns going into this game.

332
00:21:20,820 --> 00:21:24,060
 A couple guys have been listed as questionable, but nothing major.

333
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:29,040
 And it looks like everyone that has a chance to go in this game should be available to play,

334
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:30,700
 based on everything we've heard so far.

335
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,160
 So, all things considered, three games in, not bad.

336
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,940
 Ryan, let's talk about the obvious elephant in the room, and that is the quarterback.

337
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:44,800
 You've got the man walking on water in Arch Manning, and then you've got the upstart with Faison for Tennessee.

338
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,620
 Your thoughts about just, we know what the national media is going to be doing,

339
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,080
 because Arch can do no wrong.

340
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,760
 A lot of pressure on that young man, but let's face it,

341
00:21:54,780 --> 00:21:58,060
 where do you start breaking down the competition at the respective QB spots?

342
00:21:58,820 --> 00:22:00,880
 Yeah, this is a fascinating part of this matchup.

343
00:22:01,120 --> 00:22:04,620
 You don't really know what to expect from Faison Brandon.

344
00:22:05,020 --> 00:22:07,340
 He's played three games, and he's played pretty well,

345
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,260
 and mostly taken good care of the ball in those games.

346
00:22:10,380 --> 00:22:12,160
 That's probably the best thing he's done to this point.

347
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,380
 But he's made some nice plays with his legs.

348
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:19,160
 He's made some nice throws, hasn't put the ball in harm's way very much at all.

349
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,360
 So, there are reasons to be optimistic if you're a Tennessee fan going into this one.

350
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:28,660
 At the same time, he hasn't faced anybody close to as difficult as the defense he's going to face tomorrow.

351
00:22:28,860 --> 00:22:30,900
 Texas has a really good defense, obviously,

352
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:35,620
 and Georgia Tech is the closest to anything like that that he's faced so far.

353
00:22:35,700 --> 00:22:42,880
 So, we'll learn a lot more about sort of how ready he is to really carry a team into SEC competition tomorrow,

354
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,600
 and he gets thrown in the deep end right away against a team like this.

355
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,840
 And Arch Manning, you know, you mentioned he can do no wrong.

356
00:22:50,060 --> 00:22:56,380
 He gets a lot of attention, but a lot of that on the Texas end seems to be of the more negative variety.

357
00:22:56,380 --> 00:23:07,620
 Yeah, I mean, it's unfair expectations in a lot of ways that have been put on him from the start

358
00:23:07,620 --> 00:23:10,360
 because of the last name and the bloodlines there.

359
00:23:10,500 --> 00:23:15,560
 But he has some issues each week, it seems like, where he's just, you know,

360
00:23:15,580 --> 00:23:18,200
 if you want to pick him apart, there's plenty of work on there.

361
00:23:18,340 --> 00:23:21,200
 So, he's a bit of a question mark in this game.

362
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,680
 It seems like he makes some mistakes each game, and you hear A.J. McCarron

363
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:28,180
 and other people that break down quarterbacks say he's not going through his progressions well

364
00:23:28,180 --> 00:23:29,000
 and things like that.

365
00:23:29,100 --> 00:23:32,040
 So, I think quarterback play is a big wild card in this game,

366
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,880
 and which one of those guys plays the best is going to go a long way toward deciding who wins.

367
00:23:36,580 --> 00:23:43,680
 You actually predicted Texas 31, Tennessee 27 in your predictions for the game.

368
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:48,460
 And you had a good point, and it's something I've noticed with Sark for years.

369
00:23:48,980 --> 00:23:50,240
 They struggle on the road.

370
00:23:50,580 --> 00:23:55,100
 They've only won two of the five away games, at least recently.

371
00:23:55,720 --> 00:24:00,740
 Are we going to get the Texas that struggled the first three quarters against Ohio State

372
00:24:00,740 --> 00:24:05,840
 or the metamorphosis they had in the fourth quarter against the Buckeyes?

373
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:10,180
 Yeah, and I don't know how much you can knock them for what they did last year.

374
00:24:10,260 --> 00:24:13,960
 It's obviously a different team, but it's certainly worth noting that they played five road games,

375
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:18,340
 lost three of them, and the two they won were against Kentucky and Mississippi State,

376
00:24:18,620 --> 00:24:19,420
 and they went to overtime.

377
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:19,800
 That's right.

378
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,120
 So, they've really not been a great road team in the past.

379
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:27,640
 He got asked about that, sort of downplayed it, and pointed to their SEC record,

380
00:24:27,700 --> 00:24:29,540
 which is very good in their defense.

381
00:24:29,700 --> 00:24:32,340
 But I think it's still a fair question how this team is going to play,

382
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,620
 especially in what should be a pretty charged-up environment tomorrow at Neyland Stadium.

383
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,300
 The president of the United States in town, college game day in town,

384
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:46,420
 has lots of attention on this game, and it's going to feel like a circus for a regular season game in a lot of ways.

385
00:24:46,420 --> 00:24:51,640
 So, he's got to be aware of his team.

386
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,780
 First of all, they're going to get everybody's best shot because they're the number one team in the country,

387
00:24:55,980 --> 00:25:00,060
 and ask Nick Saban and his Alabama teams how tough that is to handle that week after week.

388
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:04,600
 And then on top of that, you've got to deal with playing on the road where you've not been at your best.

389
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,400
 So, yeah, I think this is a very dangerous game for Texas,

390
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,300
 and even more so probably because they won that Ohio State game.

391
00:25:10,360 --> 00:25:12,360
 They don't feel like their back's against the wall.

392
00:25:13,260 --> 00:25:16,540
 You know, if they lost that game, I think they'd feel like they were playing for their season tomorrow.

393
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:21,080
 Since they got that win, obviously you've got a little more margin for error in the playoff era.

394
00:25:21,300 --> 00:25:25,080
 I think this is a game set up to give Tennessee a shot,

395
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:30,100
 especially if Texas plays kind of the not-so-mistake-free football that they tend to play on the road.

396
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,220
 Ryan Callahan again, Go Vols 24-7.

397
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,940
 Ryan, anyone who's ever been to a game like you just mentioned with the president,

398
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:38,240
 some of us have been there.

399
00:25:38,860 --> 00:25:44,340
 Trump has been to Alabama for at least two games way back against LSU and then Georgia,

400
00:25:44,340 --> 00:25:50,720
 and I remember it's an army of Secret Service people trying to go and get into the press room,

401
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,540
 and they said, sir, you've got to step aside here.

402
00:25:52,740 --> 00:25:53,840
 We've got a problem with you.

403
00:25:53,860 --> 00:25:54,980
 This is Secret Service now.

404
00:25:55,300 --> 00:25:56,280
 I said, what's the problem?

405
00:25:56,380 --> 00:25:58,640
 I had one of these little Swiss Army knives on my keychain.

406
00:25:59,120 --> 00:26:03,020
 They made me go and give it away before I could get in.

407
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,820
 It is, so I've been stopping the Secret Service.

408
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,100
 It is a jungle.

409
00:26:07,620 --> 00:26:10,600
 Not only that, the game is, what, 11 o'clock?

410
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:14,940
 I mean, who came up with that starting time for a game of this size?

411
00:26:15,700 --> 00:26:19,340
 Well, that's the thing Tennessee fans have been lamenting for weeks,

412
00:26:19,460 --> 00:26:22,240
 even before this game had College Game Day coming to town.

413
00:26:22,420 --> 00:26:24,420
 They chose that before the season started.

414
00:26:25,120 --> 00:26:27,880
 It looked like Texas A&M LSU was the game of the week,

415
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,880
 and that didn't seem unreasonable either, so that game got more of a prime slot.

416
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,520
 Florida Ole Miss, another good game this week.

417
00:26:34,620 --> 00:26:37,400
 I mean, it's just one of those loaded schedules where something was going to have to go early.

418
00:26:37,980 --> 00:26:39,480
 But, yeah, tough break for Tennessee.

419
00:26:39,660 --> 00:26:44,240
 They're not used to having their annual checker-nealand game be a noon game, so that's less ideal.

420
00:26:44,420 --> 00:26:48,580
 And then, yeah, you throw in all the logistical complications that come with the president being there.

421
00:26:49,020 --> 00:26:55,280
 There are a lot of fans that are not looking forward as much to everything that's going to happen before the game tomorrow.

422
00:26:55,500 --> 00:26:58,820
 Fans already being encouraged to arrive at the stadium much earlier than usual.

423
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,940
 They're opening the gates three hours before kickoff.

424
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:08,800
 And then you've got College Game Day going on on the hill overlooking Tennessee's stadium and all the hoopla around there.

425
00:27:09,140 --> 00:27:14,900
 And those fans, when that set wraps up at 11 Eastern time to go inside the stadium for the final hour of the show,

426
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,260
 those fans will be trying to make their way into the stadium.

427
00:27:17,780 --> 00:27:20,420
 It's going to be kind of chaotic for those going to the game.

428
00:27:20,420 --> 00:27:27,140
 So, yeah, there's a lot of logistical things that aren't perfect for one of those noon kickoff fans.

429
00:27:27,260 --> 00:27:29,540
 Not thrilled with that, given the magnitude of it.

430
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:39,720
 Ryan, when Tennessee beat Kennesaw State last week, they ran for over 200 yards for the 38th time in Josh Heupel's career.

431
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:44,940
 Now, I don't expect them to run for 200 yards against Texas.

432
00:27:44,940 --> 00:27:55,080
 As you mentioned, they've got a very good defense, but can they run for about 125-130 and get key first downs when they need it?

433
00:27:55,940 --> 00:27:59,260
 So, I think they can get some production on the ground.

434
00:27:59,460 --> 00:28:02,520
 The question is where and how can they get it?

435
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:08,920
 I don't know, to your point, if they can for sure count the ability to convert third and two on the ground.

436
00:28:09,260 --> 00:28:11,260
 That's a big question in this game.

437
00:28:11,260 --> 00:28:14,780
 I think a lot of that's going to come down, frankly, to Faison Brandon.

438
00:28:14,940 --> 00:28:19,080
 I don't know that Tennessee's going to have just a ton of success running it between the tackles.

439
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,880
 Their interior line is a big question mark going into this game.

440
00:28:22,980 --> 00:28:26,180
 They've not played extremely well at the center and guard position so far.

441
00:28:26,820 --> 00:28:31,480
 Sham Umarov at right guard has been the starter and has had some struggles there.

442
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:35,380
 They've mixed in Donovan Haslam, the West Virginia transfer, off the bench.

443
00:28:35,460 --> 00:28:37,220
 And he's a bigger-bodied guy.

444
00:28:37,220 --> 00:28:41,560
 You would think he makes some sense to play more in this game against a defensive line like Texas.

445
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:46,560
 So, we'll see how they sort of mix and match there and how effective they are.

446
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:51,020
 But based on what we've seen so far, I think Texas has the advantage at the line of scrimmage.

447
00:28:51,100 --> 00:28:52,780
 And that makes it a much bigger challenge.

448
00:28:52,940 --> 00:28:57,900
 Tennessee spreads the field and does some different things to provide more favorable matchups in the run game.

449
00:28:57,900 --> 00:29:04,440
 But the teams that give Tennessee the biggest fits under Josh Heupel are the ones that can control the line of scrimmage.

450
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:05,180
 And that's no mystery.

451
00:29:05,420 --> 00:29:09,660
 But Georgia has done that a couple times to Tennessee back when they had some of their tougher defenses.

452
00:29:10,180 --> 00:29:13,140
 Ohio State did it in the playoffs a couple years ago when they went to Columbus.

453
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,520
 So, if it's a game like that, Tennessee might be in for a long day.

454
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,780
 They've got to be somewhat effective in the run game, to your point,

455
00:29:19,820 --> 00:29:22,300
 and definitely have to win at the line of scrimmage more often than not.

456
00:29:22,700 --> 00:29:23,060
 Absolutely.

457
00:29:23,340 --> 00:29:27,320
 Well, listen, we appreciate you coming on Friday instead of Thursday.

458
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,780
 I know you've got a lot of things to do, too.

459
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:40,740
 I'm guessing this is also a big recruiting day with National TV, Texas, game day, and everything else.

460
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:46,920
 I know you're going to have the absolute wrap-up latest on that later this weekend, pre-game, post-game.

461
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,840
 Ryan, where can we get online to get all the good stuff?

462
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,320
 Yeah, GoVols247.com.

463
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:55,200
 Full preview of that recruiting weekend actually coming up very shortly.

464
00:29:55,340 --> 00:30:00,660
 But a five-star headline in that list, DJ Jacobs, the number one player in the 2027 class,

465
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:05,420
 committed to Ohio State, and his brother, Dawson Jacobs, both expected to be in for that one.

466
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:10,060
 So, a pretty star-studded list coming in, even though it's a noon kickoff, which is not ideal.

467
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,000
 So, yeah, lots of recruiting going on this weekend,

468
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,800
 and obviously full coverage of what will be a pretty crazy day on Rocky Top.

469
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:17,660
 We'll have it all at GoVols247.com.

470
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,140

 How are you?

594
00:36:58,480 --> 00:36:59,200
 I'm doing good.

595
00:36:59,260 --> 00:36:59,640
 How are y'all?

596
00:36:59,680 --> 00:36:59,920
 Hey, Billy.

597
00:37:00,140 --> 00:37:01,780
 Man, what a difference a year, Mason.

598
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:09,100
 As we come up on the final weekend of the regular season, my goodness, Bill, where do you start breaking down a special?

599
00:37:09,100 --> 00:37:13,020
 They won't make the 100 mark in the regular season, but who needs it?

600
00:37:13,100 --> 00:37:16,660
 You're still secure heading into the postseason for these Braves.

601
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,180
 Well, they overcame a lot.

602
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:24,980
 You know, it's still a lot to deal with, with another pitcher going down yesterday with Mark.

603
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:26,200
 Yeah, amazing.

604
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:27,280
 Having a back issue.

605
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:31,100
 So, you know, the West vacation of America continues in the sports.

606
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:39,320
 But, nonetheless, it's unfortunate that they've got to deal with that, for sure, because they've got three starting pitchers for the whole playoff series.

607
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:47,960
 So, good luck, and they did a good job to overcome a lot, and to get back on the winning side and win another division.

608
00:37:48,180 --> 00:37:49,440
 It was a very good year for them.

609
00:37:50,060 --> 00:37:51,960
 What do we know about the playoffs?

610
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:55,040
 We know the Braves are the third seed.

611
00:37:55,480 --> 00:38:02,140
 They're going to be playing in Atlanta starting Tuesday or all three games in Atlanta.

612
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:04,860
 Will it be the Phillies?

613
00:38:05,140 --> 00:38:12,140
 I know the, I think the, let's see, the Phillies are ahead of the Padres.

614
00:38:12,860 --> 00:38:16,400
 What do you know about next week as far as the wild card series?

615
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:19,960
 Also, it's on NBC, which is interesting.

616
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:20,700
 Yeah.

617
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:24,460
 You won't know about the opponent probably until Sunday night.

618
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:28,740
 Right now, the Padres are the number one wild card team.

619
00:38:28,740 --> 00:38:31,000
 They have a two-game lead on the Phillies.

620
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,840
 The Cubs are the number two wild card team.

621
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,460
 They're a game behind the Padres, a game in front of the Phillies.

622
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:43,900
 So, right now, it would be Philadelphia at Atlanta and Chicago at San Diego.

623
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:52,200
 However, the Diamondbacks are only two games back of the Phillies.

624
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:58,360
 So, I mean, they've got to win and get a little luck here this weekend.

625
00:38:58,620 --> 00:39:00,480
 But the Phillies haven't clinched it either.

626
00:39:00,860 --> 00:39:03,880
 The Phillies, they're playing Tampa Bay.

627
00:39:04,240 --> 00:39:09,420
 So, if they throw it out against West and Tampa Bay and Arizona took two.

628
00:39:11,300 --> 00:39:12,700
 Bill Shanks in the huddle with us.

629
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:16,220
 Bill, I'm assuming we won't know, obviously, the opponent nor the starting time.

630
00:39:16,300 --> 00:39:20,980
 You would assume it would be the early game because they want to start the eastern time zone

631
00:39:20,980 --> 00:39:22,500
 and work the ways across – I'm sorry?

632
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:27,720
 All three games are in Atlanta, and it should be, you know, an interesting –

633
00:39:27,720 --> 00:39:30,140
 but right now, it would be the Phillies playing Atlanta.

634
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:32,340
 Who would be the best matchup?

635
00:39:32,420 --> 00:39:36,600
 If you could reach into the hat and say this is the best matchup for the Braves going forward.

636
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:41,500
 Of the teams that's on the wheel of fortune, which one would be the best matchup for the Braves to move on?

637
00:39:41,540 --> 00:39:45,680
 Well, I think of the three wild card teams, it would be easier to play Chicago.

638
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:49,320
 Chicago's bullpen's a problem.

639
00:39:49,700 --> 00:39:51,820
 They just lost to Alex.

640
00:39:54,340 --> 00:40:01,240
 And we might have had a little bit of a hiccup there with Bill.

641
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:02,560
 Bill Shanks hooking up with us.

642
00:40:03,260 --> 00:40:05,260
 TheSuperstations.com in case you missed it.

643
00:40:05,720 --> 00:40:06,840
 This is going to be a weekend.

644
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:08,880
 The final piece is still out there.

645
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:10,340
 This weekend will determine it.

646
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:12,200
 And, B.B., I agree.

647
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:25,800
 Well, I mean, they got a problem with their starting pitching now because of Perez being out, and it's a big problem.

648
00:40:26,060 --> 00:40:34,640
 They got Chris Sale, Tyler Malley, and Grant Holmes, and they did not get another starting pitch deadline, and now they're screwed.

649
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:39,200
 Because you literally have three starting pitchers.

650
00:40:39,700 --> 00:40:42,560
 I don't think you want to use A.J. Smith-Schalver as a starting pitcher.

651
00:40:42,660 --> 00:40:46,460
 I don't think you want to use J.R. Ritchie as a starting pitcher if you don't have to.

652
00:40:46,940 --> 00:40:48,120
 So they're kind of a mess.

653
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:52,060
 I mean, it really is going to be interesting to see how they kind of go through it.

654
00:40:52,220 --> 00:40:55,680
 They're going to go with that, you know, well, we've got to get 27 outs.

655
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:56,860
 We may do it differently.

656
00:40:56,860 --> 00:41:02,380
 We may have, you know, piggybacks and pitchers going three innings at a time and all this stuff.

657
00:41:02,460 --> 00:41:06,200
 But it's going to be hard to get through the playoffs with only three starting pitchers.

658
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:09,440
 Well, let me ask about the other elephant in the room.

659
00:41:09,540 --> 00:41:11,340
 We talked about this the other night.

660
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:14,320
 Is the hitting or the lack thereof.

661
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:15,520
 They just struggle.

662
00:41:15,820 --> 00:41:19,260
 If they're not hitting home runs, we've talked about this forever.

663
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:21,780
 And, look, I know this goes back to Bobby.

664
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:25,940
 You hit three two-run homers or two three-run homers.

665
00:41:26,240 --> 00:41:31,280
 But manufacturing runs, you have got to do that in the postseason.

666
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,520
 Can they hit with runners in scoring position?

667
00:41:35,240 --> 00:41:36,760
 And can they hit, period?

668
00:41:38,420 --> 00:41:39,560
 I don't know.

669
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:44,900
 I'm worried because if you are in a situation where you've got to rely on three-run home runs,

670
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:48,500
 I mean, it's just a crapshoot.

671
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:54,220
 I mean, hey, look, if they get good starting pitching and hit three-run a lot of home runs,

672
00:41:54,220 --> 00:41:56,080
 they're going to be successful in October.

673
00:41:56,240 --> 00:41:59,740
 If they don't, by the time we talk next week, they'll be done.

674
00:41:59,980 --> 00:42:01,220
 It's that simple, you know.

675
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:02,840
 I mean, it really is that simple.

676
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:06,500
 And so they've got to be successful with the play.

677
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:09,540
 They've got to manufacture some runs and get some very good pitching.

678
00:42:09,820 --> 00:42:13,340
 That's why I didn't want to play the Phillies and rather play the Cubs because the Phillies,

679
00:42:13,420 --> 00:42:16,980
 I mean, they're going to go with Sanchez, Wheeler, and Noah.

680
00:42:17,240 --> 00:42:19,220
 And that's rough now.

681
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:21,700
 That's a rough trio to kind of hit and win against.

682
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:25,220
 So even though the Braves haven't been successful against the Phillies this year,

683
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:27,780
 against the Dodgers this year, October's different.

684
00:42:27,900 --> 00:42:30,280
 Everything starts over in October, so you never know.

685
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:34,560
 So says Bill Shanks, again, thesesuperstations.com.

686
00:42:34,620 --> 00:42:35,860
 Bill, you've got a full plate.

687
00:42:35,980 --> 00:42:39,060
 You've got the Bravos pulling the curtain on the regular season.

688
00:42:39,260 --> 00:42:41,200
 The postseason gets started Tuesday.

689
00:42:41,420 --> 00:42:44,020
 Stay tuned for that Sunday night for the pieces to fall into place.

690
00:42:44,180 --> 00:42:50,520
 But in the meantime, will Georgia finally get the coffee and play a game this weekend?

691
00:42:50,900 --> 00:42:53,740
 What was Kirby doing last week even with his line?

692
00:42:54,660 --> 00:42:57,720
 And this team is basically, they're waiting on an opponent, are they not?

693
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,340
 Well, they may not have one tomorrow if Oklahoma can't run the football.

694
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:02,860
 Yep.

695
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:04,360
 Again.

696
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:08,300
 If you can't run the football against Georgia, I don't know how you think you're going to win,

697
00:43:08,380 --> 00:43:09,180
 to be honest with you.

698
00:43:09,260 --> 00:43:12,560
 I mean, I just don't know how you think you're going to win.

699
00:43:12,700 --> 00:43:15,840
 I mean, like last night, the Falcons ran the football with the Green Bay.

700
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:16,280
 Sure did.

701
00:43:16,340 --> 00:43:17,000
 Yes, who won.

702
00:43:17,220 --> 00:43:17,420
 Yep.

703
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:18,280
 You know what I mean?

704
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:19,480
 It's that simple.

705
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:24,400
 You win the, I mean, run the football and stop the run.

706
00:43:24,460 --> 00:43:27,820
 If you do that successfully, and if Oklahoma cannot do that,

707
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:29,760
 they're not going to win tomorrow in Athens, Georgia.

708
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:30,800
 That's not going to happen.

709
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:36,020
 So, I think it's, Georgia's got to, I mean, they're ranked third,

710
00:43:36,140 --> 00:43:38,380
 I mean, they're favored by 13 and a half for a reason.

711
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:40,900
 I think the main reason is Oklahoma can't run the football.

712
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:44,840
 And listen, Oklahoma is really good defensively.

713
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:48,200
 They lead the SEC in five categories,

714
00:43:48,380 --> 00:43:52,060
 and they're in the top ten nationally in each one of them.

715
00:43:52,140 --> 00:43:54,640
 But what difference does it make if you can't score?

716
00:43:55,140 --> 00:43:56,600
 They should have beat Michigan.

717
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:00,080
 Mater had a terrible fourth quarter.

718
00:44:00,740 --> 00:44:02,740
 I know that he's got some better receivers.

719
00:44:02,940 --> 00:44:04,880
 Centega is one of the better ones.

720
00:44:04,980 --> 00:44:06,900
 But it's the same thing as in baseball.

721
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:10,260
 If you can't score, you're not going to win games.

722
00:44:10,820 --> 00:44:12,680
 Nope, and they don't have a running game.

723
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:14,640
 And, I mean, their tight ends are good.

724
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:17,860
 Georgia's got to be careful about Centega and their tight ends.

725
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:19,580
 Mater, you know.

726
00:44:20,460 --> 00:44:25,380
 But their defense that is good, David Stone probably not going to play.

727
00:44:25,380 --> 00:44:27,340
 That's a big, big loss for them.

728
00:44:27,540 --> 00:44:27,800
 It is.

729
00:44:28,100 --> 00:44:29,980
 They cannot cover.

730
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:34,460
 We had on my other show here on our station, we had the Oklahoma announcer,

731
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:36,360
 and he said they can't cover tight ends.

732
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:38,240
 Well, you're playing the wrong team tomorrow, brother.

733
00:44:38,460 --> 00:44:38,680
 Yep.

734
00:44:39,260 --> 00:44:41,460
 Georgia's got some tight ends on their roster.

735
00:44:41,860 --> 00:44:44,860
 And so I just – I think Georgia's going to cover.

736
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:45,580
 They're going to win.

737
00:44:45,780 --> 00:44:48,540
 And then everybody will know they finally played somebody.

738
00:44:48,540 --> 00:44:51,080
 And then people will say, well, have they or not,

739
00:44:51,140 --> 00:44:52,340
 because Oklahoma's not that good.

740
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:55,860
 But, you know, in 15 days, they're going to prove they can play against somebody

741
00:44:55,860 --> 00:44:59,700
 when they come in and play against Alabama Crimson Tide, Brent Beard.

742
00:45:00,220 --> 00:45:02,860
 Can you say that again, Bill, because people were distracted.

743
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:03,620
 I heard it.

744
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:04,860
 I heard it.

745
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:07,800
 Let's talk about that schedule.

746
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:12,340
 Obviously, let's face it, it's pretty much gone as – for a coach and a fan base,

747
00:45:12,720 --> 00:45:16,340
 in some ways it's been miserable because you want to see just how good a team is.

748
00:45:16,340 --> 00:45:17,720
 You don't know until pushed back.

749
00:45:17,720 --> 00:45:20,540
 So far, that hasn't happened after Oklahoma.

750
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:22,580
 Who knows what you're getting in Vanderbilt.

751
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:25,740
 I would assume you're rooting for Vanderbilt this weekend against Auburn.

752
00:45:26,260 --> 00:45:29,940
 But then you've got Alabama, and then you're going to be rooting against Auburn

753
00:45:29,940 --> 00:45:35,520
 because after that you've got Bama back-to-back with Auburn after the Vandy game.

754
00:45:35,580 --> 00:45:37,700
 Your thoughts about this stretch of schedule overall, Bill?

755
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:45,340
 Well, our quarterback for Georgia is not going to screw up in the end zone next week

756
00:45:45,340 --> 00:45:46,340
 against Vanderbilt.

757
00:45:46,340 --> 00:45:52,420
 So, hey, that won't happen in Athens, Georgia for the Georgia Bulldogs.

758
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:56,800
 So, you know, look, they've got to play well these next two weeks,

759
00:45:56,840 --> 00:46:02,540
 and they do have Alabama and Tuscaloosa, and then they have Auburn and Athens.

760
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:08,480
 I mean, these next three weeks, these next 22 days, are going to perhaps define your season.

761
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:10,900
 And it's going to be interesting to see how they do.

762
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:15,460
 It's not easy, but none of the schedules in the SEC are easy.

763
00:46:15,620 --> 00:46:17,880
 You know, it's like Auburn griping about their schedule.

764
00:46:18,020 --> 00:46:18,820
 I mean, give me a break.

765
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:25,200
 I mean, every d*** schedule in the SEC is tough, where you go back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back.

766
00:46:25,500 --> 00:46:26,880
 I mean, it's just the way it is.

767
00:46:27,260 --> 00:46:28,240
 Especially like Georgia.

768
00:46:28,340 --> 00:46:31,120
 Georgia got their cash reclunkers out of the way right off the bat,

769
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:35,340
 and then they had a weak SEC opponent to lead off the conference schedule.

770
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:39,700
 So now, you know, they've got eight games left against some pretty tough teams.

771
00:46:40,140 --> 00:46:41,320
 And so that's fine.

772
00:46:41,380 --> 00:46:43,400
 That's what you want and so forth.

773
00:46:43,900 --> 00:46:51,260
 So, you know, look, I'm thinking Georgia is going to win in Tuscaloosa by, I'm thinking, 18 points.

774
00:46:51,860 --> 00:46:52,340
 18?

775
00:46:52,900 --> 00:46:53,620
 I'm sorry.

776
00:46:53,620 --> 00:46:55,520
 Did you say only 18 or 18, Bill?

777
00:46:55,900 --> 00:46:56,620
 Only 18?

778
00:46:57,520 --> 00:46:59,460
 I'm for whatever makes Brett's nervous.

779
00:46:59,660 --> 00:47:02,620
 I can tell he's just, he's getting concerned.

780
00:47:02,860 --> 00:47:05,240
 He knows that it's going to be a bloodbath.

781
00:47:05,500 --> 00:47:06,620
 And you know what?

782
00:47:06,700 --> 00:47:11,760
 You ain't going to be able to start off no bad starting against the Bulldogs in 15 days, big boy.

783
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:13,100
 I can tell you that right now.

784
00:47:13,220 --> 00:47:13,700
 Brett?

785
00:47:13,980 --> 00:47:17,220
 Three and 10 since 2007.

786
00:47:17,220 --> 00:47:21,840
 The last time Georgia beat Alabama and Tuscaloosa, 2007.

787
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:22,700
 Wow.

788
00:47:22,700 --> 00:47:26,340
 Matthew Stafford in the overtime game.

789
00:47:26,720 --> 00:47:27,460
 That was a long time ago.

790
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:29,940
 Tomorrow is a dream schedule.

791
00:47:30,140 --> 00:47:33,140
 We've been talking about this for two weeks, young man.

792
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:35,500
 Texas at Tennessee.

793
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:36,880
 Ole Miss at Florida.

794
00:47:37,140 --> 00:47:38,700
 Alabama, South Carolina.

795
00:47:38,900 --> 00:47:39,940
 Vandy at Auburn.

796
00:47:40,420 --> 00:47:42,140
 Missouri and Mississippi State.

797
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:44,040
 What a dream Saturday.

798
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:45,960
 Good, good week.

799
00:47:46,100 --> 00:47:47,260
 It was fun last week.

800
00:47:47,380 --> 00:47:49,480
 Tomorrow will be a lot of fun as well.

801
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:52,140
 I mean, these are the weeks we love the SEC for, right?

802
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:53,220
 I mean, we really do.

803
00:47:53,220 --> 00:47:59,960
 I think it's going to be a lot of fun to see how they kind of play out here.

804
00:48:00,100 --> 00:48:04,420
 I mean, South Carolina's desperate against Alabama, so your boys better be careful.

805
00:48:04,420 --> 00:48:10,780
 And, of course, you've got LSU and A&M who cannot have that second loss.

806
00:48:10,900 --> 00:48:13,000
 They've got to avoid that second loss.

807
00:48:13,860 --> 00:48:16,760
 And so, you know, you've got good games.

808
00:48:16,820 --> 00:48:17,540
 There's no question.

809
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:20,460
 And New Florida, they've got a favorite overall message.

810
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:23,240
 I don't understand, but it's happening.

811
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:25,620
 So, it's going to be an interesting day for sure.

812
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:26,640
 Absolutely.

813
00:48:27,300 --> 00:48:35,840
 Well, listen, where can our listeners, be it Jay, Tim from Athens, or our other horde of listeners,

814
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:42,280
 call in today and make predictions about Oklahoma upsetting, I'm not through yet,

815
00:48:42,420 --> 00:48:47,300
 Oklahoma upsetting Georgia, Alabama winning by many touchdowns.

816
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:48,480
 Where can they go?

817
00:48:49,260 --> 00:48:51,000
 You know, don't turn on me, Brett Pierce.

818
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:55,560
 I mean, I say this lousy show every Friday at 1.30.

819
00:48:55,980 --> 00:48:57,000
 You're turning on me.

820
00:48:57,060 --> 00:48:57,700
 I can tell you.

821
00:48:57,760 --> 00:48:58,760
 I don't like your tone there.

822
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:00,300
 You're turning on me now, Brett Pierce.

823
00:49:00,500 --> 00:49:01,060

 See if that works.

828

 Well, stay tuned.

829
00:49:13,060 --> 00:49:17,800
 Bill, listen, man, all the best and all the best at the shootout at the OK Corral this weekend, okay?

830
00:49:18,420 --> 00:49:19,100
 All right, guys.

831
00:49:19,100 --> 00:49:20,160
 It should be a fun weekend.

832
00:49:20,300 --> 00:49:20,680

843

 It's football time in Alabama.

844

847
00:50:01,660 --> 00:50:03,120
 This is Congressman Robert Adderholt.

848
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:07,440
 May God bless all of our students representing our high schools during this season.

849
00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:10,120

 President Trump will hold that midterm rally in Alabama this coming October 2nd.

 An Abbeville man has been sentenced to 23 years in federal prison for drug and firearm offenses.

929
00:54:43,720 --> 00:54:48,320
 42-year-old Casamedian Lingo was convicted of these offenses this past June.

930
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:55,020
 Lingo first fled to the country of Mexico after he was released on bond following the charges against him back in 2021.

931
00:54:55,500 --> 00:55:00,540
 U.S. Marshals and Mexican law enforcement tracked Lingo down to Guadalajara, Mexico in 2022.

932
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:07,520
 He was then extradited to the U.S. in 2025 to face prosecution by the U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Alabama.

935
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:18,780

936
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:21,640

 It's American Rewind.

941
00:55:35,180 --> 00:55:49,380
 Thirty-four-year-old Alexander Hamilton raised his right hand and took the oath of office in September of 1789 as the first Secretary of the Treasury of the United States of America.

942
00:55:49,980 --> 00:55:52,180
 The assignment looked nearly impossible.

943
00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:56,660
 Our brand-new republic was buried under Revolutionary War debt.

944
00:55:57,220 --> 00:55:59,000
 Its paper currency was worthless.

945
00:55:59,840 --> 00:56:02,760
 And foreign governments refused to extend credit to us.

946
00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:04,760
 Hamilton went straight to work.

947
00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:11,280
 He insisted that the federal government assume state war debts and pay every dollar back in full.

948
00:56:11,540 --> 00:56:14,200
 The claim of the debt was the price of liberty.

949
00:56:14,780 --> 00:56:18,340
 He established the Bank of the United States and stabilized the currency.

950
00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:22,220
 And created a revenue system that funded the government.

951

 On that note, I'm James A. Brown.

952

953
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:35,300
 This is an important notice to all U.S. taxpayers.

954
00:56:35,300 --> 00:56:43,680
 The IRS is giving away billions of dollars in tax savings through a federal program called the Fresh Start Initiative to aid delinquent taxpayers.

955
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:49,300
 This initiative was established for anyone facing financial hardship and unable to pay their back taxes.

956
00:56:49,620 --> 00:56:57,740
 Qualifying and enrolling in this program will stop all collections, settle your delinquent tax problem, and even reduce what you owe by thousands of dollars.

957
00:56:58,020 --> 00:57:06,080
 Call the hotline at People's Tax Relief to see if you qualify and get this free information by dialing 800-319-3687.

958
00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:14,240
 If you have unfiled tax returns or cannot afford to pay your personal or business-backed taxes, you can now get the help you need.

959
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:19,080
 One simple phone call can resolve your tax problem and save you thousands of dollars.

 Well, we're going to get Redfish here in a second.

970
00:58:05,940 --> 00:58:07,100
 He's low now, Harold.

971
00:58:07,380 --> 00:58:07,840
 Oh, okay.

972
00:58:07,980 --> 00:58:11,700
 Well, I'll just shut up and say hello to William Redfish Barger.

973
00:58:11,780 --> 00:58:12,600
 He's been there.

 How are you?

977
00:58:19,120 --> 00:58:20,120
 Well, I'll tell you what.

978
00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:28,780
 After the d*** Monday morning I've had so far, I think I might have been more willing to go through that first half struggle Saturday.

979
00:58:29,360 --> 00:58:30,380
 What's wrong, William?

980
00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:31,500
 How's your morning been, buddy?

981
00:58:31,620 --> 00:58:32,820
 I'm going to be bold and ask.

982
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:34,020
 How's your morning been, William?

983
00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:37,860
 Well, it might have been a simpler outcome for me.

984
00:58:39,780 --> 00:58:41,940
 Did Ryan Grubb call your Monday morning?

985
00:58:42,060 --> 00:58:42,880
 Oh, my goodness.

986
00:58:43,840 --> 00:58:48,320

01:00:14,840 --> 01:00:15,420
 How are you?

1010
01:00:16,220 --> 01:00:17,060
 Doing well.

1011
01:00:17,340 --> 01:00:21,500
 Getting ready for what should be one of the best weekends of the entire season.

1012
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:24,440
 Yeah, we were just talking about that at the top of the show, Mike.

1013
01:00:24,540 --> 01:00:27,020
 You know, for most of us, Christmas comes three months from today.

1014
01:00:27,100 --> 01:00:28,080
 It's hard to believe, is it not?

1015
01:00:28,520 --> 01:00:32,060
 Under the tree, but if you're a college football fan, it comes this weekend.

1016
01:00:32,580 --> 01:00:36,800
 Pretty safe to say the headliner may be the Battle of the Orange Teams

1017
01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:39,700
 called the Orange Bowl in UT country for UT.

1018
01:00:40,360 --> 01:00:42,100
 Mike, is that the biggest game for you?

1019
01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:43,640
 Or if not, what is?

1020
01:00:44,180 --> 01:00:48,760
 Yeah, I think that one, and I'm also extremely interested in USC, Oregon.

1021
01:00:48,860 --> 01:00:49,060
 Yeah.

1022
01:00:50,060 --> 01:00:54,000
 But both those are interesting on different levels.

1023
01:00:54,140 --> 01:00:56,680
 We don't know how good Tennessee is.

1024
01:00:56,820 --> 01:01:02,700
 This will be the first time Texas has ever played in Knoxville, which is sort of hard to believe.

1025
01:01:03,260 --> 01:01:03,380
 Yeah.

1026
01:01:04,340 --> 01:01:07,940
 The Tennessee rushing attack has been phenomenal.

1027
01:01:08,740 --> 01:01:12,340
 The opponents have been mediocre at best.

1028
01:01:13,140 --> 01:01:21,780
 Texas' run defense has been good, but I don't think Tennessee's running game is going to be emphasized.

1029
01:01:22,300 --> 01:01:25,120
 I think Deshaun Bishop is the key guy tomorrow.

1030
01:01:25,900 --> 01:01:28,380
 Tennessee runs for about 299 yards a game.

1031
01:01:30,080 --> 01:01:33,960
 We'll see if – I'm not a big fan of Texas' linebackers.

1032
01:01:34,040 --> 01:01:36,360
 Both of them transfer from ACC schools.

1033
01:01:36,840 --> 01:01:39,220
 Rasheem Biles from Pitt, who I think is not bad.

1034
01:01:40,180 --> 01:01:44,480
 Justin Cryer from Florida State, who I think is bad.

1035
01:01:45,080 --> 01:01:50,960
 So, I think that the Tennessee rushing attack is obviously vital tomorrow.

1036
01:01:51,120 --> 01:01:57,920
 You do not want this game in the hands of Faison Brandon, a true freshman, playing in his first big game,

1037
01:01:58,020 --> 01:01:59,700
 playing in his first SEC game.

1038
01:02:01,120 --> 01:02:08,540
 Arch Manning, he played really well in the last quarter of the game against Ohio State.

1039
01:02:09,160 --> 01:02:10,580
 And he was mediocre last week.

1040
01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:12,640
 I saw a stat this week.

1041
01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:22,220
 You compare Arch Manning's stats with John McKeer's stats, and they're incredibly similar this year.

1042
01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:25,680
 And McKeer, obviously, is, oh, that guy can't play.

1043
01:02:26,280 --> 01:02:30,420
 And still, it's, oh, yeah, Arch Manning, he's in the running to be a top-five pick.

1044
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:32,940
 And something is wrong here.

1045
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:38,480
 I'm not sure it's the play calling for Texas or Manning's operation of the offense.

1046
01:02:38,480 --> 01:02:40,860
 There are incredible weapons at Texas.

1047
01:02:41,780 --> 01:02:43,680
 They haven't really shown that.

1048
01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:49,440
 They did play well in the fourth quarter against Ohio State, but they're going to have to play, I think,

1049
01:02:50,040 --> 01:03:00,360
 a lot better tomorrow on the road in an extremely loud play against a team that's going to basically say,

1050
01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:03,080
 we're going to line up and run the ball right at you.

1051
01:03:03,780 --> 01:03:04,960
 You know what's coming.

1052
01:03:05,300 --> 01:03:06,540
 Let's see if you can stop it.

1053
01:03:06,600 --> 01:03:08,080
 And if Texas stops it, they're going to win.

1054
01:03:08,160 --> 01:03:13,960
 Because, again, I don't think Faison Brandon is equipped at this point in his career to win a game of this magnitude.

1055
01:03:14,380 --> 01:03:18,480
 So, this, to me, comes down to Deshaun Bishop and the Tennessee rushing it back.

1056
01:03:19,100 --> 01:03:19,980
 I think you're right.

1057
01:03:19,980 --> 01:03:24,280
 Mike, the other game I'm excited for, Ole Miss at Florida.

1058
01:03:24,580 --> 01:03:30,200
 Trinidad-Chamberlis, two 300-yard games against Louisville and LSU.

1059
01:03:30,340 --> 01:03:32,900
 Kiwan Lacey, though, with an arm injury.

1060
01:03:33,080 --> 01:03:34,520
 We'll see how that goes.

1061
01:03:35,380 --> 01:03:36,960
 Billy Napier couldn't figure out.

1062
01:03:37,060 --> 01:03:39,180
 Jane Ball was one of the best running backs.

1063
01:03:39,700 --> 01:03:47,180
 When he had him in the backfield, he's only run for 458 yards so far, second in FBS.

1064
01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:53,760
 Ole Miss' defense, not ranked 98th in terms of yards per play.

1065
01:03:54,520 --> 01:03:58,280
 But Florida whilped Auburn at the line of scrimmage.

1066
01:03:58,320 --> 01:03:59,640
 They've got a lot of weapons.

1067
01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:02,940
 Billy didn't utilize a lot of those either.

1068
01:04:03,160 --> 01:04:05,200
 But, Mike, a fascinating game.

1069
01:04:05,200 --> 01:04:09,460
 Ole Miss at Florida and the Gators are a three-and-a-half-point favorite.

1070
01:04:09,700 --> 01:04:13,980
 Yeah, you've got Ole Miss coming off an incredibly emotional game.

1071
01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:22,760
 They beat Lane Kiffin at home with Kiwan and Lacey not doing anything really.

1072
01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:26,940
 And, okay, now they've got one on the road to a Florida team that, yeah,

1073
01:04:27,160 --> 01:04:29,580
 Florida beat Auburn by five.

1074
01:04:30,360 --> 01:04:32,100
 That was not a five-point game.

1075
01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:34,980
 Ball did what he wanted.

1076
01:04:35,180 --> 01:04:36,360
 Filo did what he wanted.

1077
01:04:36,360 --> 01:04:42,880
 The Florida defensive front got an inordinate amount of pressure on Byron Brown last week.

1078
01:04:43,120 --> 01:04:46,140
 Seven sacks, 11 tackles for loss.

1079
01:04:46,220 --> 01:04:49,920
 And I think it was something like 41 quarterback pressures or something.

1080
01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:51,500
 I mean, it was an incredible number.

1081
01:04:52,780 --> 01:04:55,800
 Chambliss, it will be the best player on the field.

1082
01:04:56,120 --> 01:04:58,420
 I think Florida has the second best in ball.

1083
01:04:59,860 --> 01:05:04,960
 Both secondaries, extremely susceptible, I think.

1084
01:05:05,620 --> 01:05:10,880
 One of Ole Miss' key players is Jalen Denson, who was a Florida starting safety last year.

1085
01:05:11,480 --> 01:05:13,620
 Florida was not all that displeased that he left.

1086
01:05:14,040 --> 01:05:18,240
 And I think they'll be trying to pick on him tomorrow, especially in coverage.

1087
01:05:19,080 --> 01:05:21,720
 But I think this is going to be a high-scoring game.

1088
01:05:22,800 --> 01:05:26,320
 Every turnover, every punt is going to make a difference, I think.

1089
01:05:27,300 --> 01:05:32,280
 And as well as Florida played last week, they are coming in on a high.

1090
01:05:32,480 --> 01:05:35,800
 But I don't think Florida can stop Trinidad-Chambliss.

1091
01:05:35,860 --> 01:05:37,280
 So I think Ole Miss is going to win.

1092
01:05:38,060 --> 01:05:42,040
 In the huddle with Mike Hugen and Mike, another instant matchup.

1093
01:05:42,340 --> 01:05:44,060
 You talked about Ole Miss' game last week.

1094
01:05:44,100 --> 01:05:46,920
 Let's talk about their opponent, LSU, taking on Texas A&M.

1095
01:05:47,020 --> 01:05:49,740
 How about that game last week at College Station?

1096
01:05:50,860 --> 01:05:55,820
 Both teams battling the same bugaboo here do not lose that second conference game.

1097
01:05:55,880 --> 01:05:56,900
 Who wins that one tomorrow?

1098
01:05:57,600 --> 01:06:00,140
 Yeah, the losers, they're not going to.

1099
01:06:00,140 --> 01:06:04,020
 The loser of this game is not going to the playoffs, given what they have left.

1100
01:06:04,800 --> 01:06:08,640
 Texas A&M getting beaten that badly at home by Kentucky.

1101
01:06:10,260 --> 01:06:15,560
 It's one thing to go on the road and lose at Ole Miss with a team quarterback by Trinidad-Chambliss.

1102
01:06:15,920 --> 01:06:20,760
 It's another team to lose at home to a Kentucky team quarterback by Kenny Minchie,

1103
01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:26,200
 who had never played in a big game before the last weekend, the big road game.

1104
01:06:26,200 --> 01:06:30,480
 So I don't know what's wrong with Texas A&M.

1105
01:06:31,420 --> 01:06:33,220
 They have a highly paid roster.

1106
01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:36,140
 They have a team that started last year 11-0.

1107
01:06:36,940 --> 01:06:42,840
 I think Marcel Reid bumped into his ceiling last year and has sort of settled back.

1108
01:06:43,280 --> 01:06:46,040
 He is not an elite quarterback, not close.

1109
01:06:46,540 --> 01:06:51,740
 I don't think Leavitt is either, though, but I think the game being in Baton Rouge at night,

1110
01:06:52,160 --> 01:06:57,660
 those folks out there, and there are a lot of them who think LSU is treated favorably

1111
01:06:57,660 --> 01:07:08,200
 in terms of TV start times when they play at home, have more ammunition now because is this really – this is not the best game in the SEC.

1112
01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:08,680
 No.

1113
01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:10,620
 Yet, it's the best SEC time slot.

1114
01:07:11,300 --> 01:07:13,660
 Heck, I don't even think it's the best game at 730.

1115
01:07:14,700 --> 01:07:17,860
 But I think that Texas A&M is going to lose.

1116
01:07:18,420 --> 01:07:25,460
 I will say, though, from an entertainment factor, if Texas A&M wins in Baton Rouge,

1117
01:07:26,180 --> 01:07:39,200
 I will be extremely interested in hearing Kiffin's press conference and going on the message board to read the well-thought-out responses of LSU.

1118
01:07:40,720 --> 01:07:50,680
 Mike, Mississippi State and Missouri, Mississippi State, Camario Taylor, is the household word in the SEC.

1119
01:07:50,960 --> 01:07:55,000
 Austin Simmons has got eight touchdowns and known receptions for Missouri.

1120
01:07:55,760 --> 01:07:58,000
 Jamal Roberts has ran for 300 yards.

1121
01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:02,100
 I'm wondering when Ahmaud Hardy is going to come back.

1122
01:08:02,480 --> 01:08:06,560
 Very intriguing game and start Missouri at Mississippi State.

1123
01:08:07,080 --> 01:08:12,700
 Yeah, you look at the SEC quarterbacks, you can make a strong case of the two best play for the Mississippi school.

1124
01:08:12,820 --> 01:08:12,980
 Yeah.

1125
01:08:13,660 --> 01:08:15,160
 Camario Taylor is a great story.

1126
01:08:15,820 --> 01:08:21,720
 He's playing so well, he's making Jeff Levy look like a really good head coach, which is – I didn't think it could be done.

1127
01:08:23,160 --> 01:08:28,140
 Austin Simmons, last year before the season, was the Ole Miss starter.

1128
01:08:29,240 --> 01:08:30,360
 Extremely highly hyped.

1129
01:08:30,520 --> 01:08:31,060
 He gets hurt.

1130
01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:34,040
 And then Trinidad Chandler takes the job and runs with it.

1131
01:08:34,320 --> 01:08:37,260
 And Austin Simmons is now playing in Columbia, Missouri.

1132
01:08:37,460 --> 01:08:39,760
 You mentioned his eight TDs and zero picks.

1133
01:08:40,080 --> 01:08:43,440
 He did not play well at all last week against Troy.

1134
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:45,760
 They struggled to beat Troy.

1135
01:08:46,820 --> 01:08:50,640
 This will be the best defense that Mississippi State has seen.

1136
01:08:51,300 --> 01:08:58,340
 But it's – you know, how does Ole Miss – I'm sorry, how does Mizzou rather try to slow Camario Taylor?

1137
01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:02,260
 I think Missouri's got the better roster top to bottom.

1138
01:09:02,260 --> 01:09:04,160
 I think their defense is more talented.

1139
01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:09,820
 But Taylor gives Mississippi State something that, yeah, very few teams have.

1140
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:15,560
 I think there's a great belief that he can do whatever he wants in some respects on the field.

1141
01:09:15,800 --> 01:09:17,980
 So, a very intriguing game.

1142
01:09:18,100 --> 01:09:24,120
 You know, last week Mississippi State goes to South Carolina, falls behind big, and then blows the Gamecocks' doors in.

1143
01:09:24,580 --> 01:09:30,880
 And you looked at the other side of the field, and there was Lenore Sellers who was – oh, my goodness, that guy's going to be awesome.

1144
01:09:31,040 --> 01:09:37,980
 Well, Lenore Sellers now is – if he's been in the top half of SEC quarterbacks, something has happened to that guy.

1145
01:09:38,840 --> 01:09:40,540
 Taylor is flying high.

1146
01:09:42,140 --> 01:09:47,280
 Missouri's defense, though, I think will do enough to get Missouri the win.

1147
01:09:47,280 --> 01:09:55,320
 And I think Austin Simmons, in his return to the state of Mississippi, will play well, and I think Mizzou wins.

1148
01:09:55,900 --> 01:09:58,160
 I think that will be a high-scoring game as well.

1149
01:09:58,920 --> 01:10:01,520
 Mike, you mentioned South Carolina and Sellers.

1150
01:10:01,600 --> 01:10:03,360
 We know where they're coming tomorrow.

1151
01:10:03,700 --> 01:10:10,580
 Your thoughts, number one, about the game, and are we smart enough to figure out this Alabama team today?

1152
01:10:12,180 --> 01:10:21,540
 Yeah, that's – the idea that they fell behind Florida State by that large a margin is alarming because Florida State is not good.

1153
01:10:21,680 --> 01:10:26,560
 The defense will be there horrendous as – once Alabama woke up and proved that.

1154
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:30,720
 Keelan Russell still sort of finding his way.

1155
01:10:31,160 --> 01:10:34,400
 I don't think he will have any problems with the South Carolina defense.

1156
01:10:34,600 --> 01:10:35,840
 That is not a good defense.

1157
01:10:36,020 --> 01:10:37,840
 That is not a well-coached team.

1158
01:10:38,180 --> 01:10:47,740
 I think now the question – South Carolina is – they're like there.

1159
01:10:48,340 --> 01:10:51,380
 Oh, look, South Carolina is one of the teams in the SEC.

1160
01:10:51,620 --> 01:10:56,520
 No one takes them seriously right now in any sport in the league except women's basketball.

1161
01:10:57,180 --> 01:11:00,920
 And I don't know if they have the money to get rid of Shane Beamer.

1162
01:11:01,480 --> 01:11:05,340
 I think Shane Beamer has proven that he is not the right guy for the job.

1163
01:11:06,240 --> 01:11:08,800
 And Lenore Sellers has backslid enormously.

1164
01:11:09,500 --> 01:11:11,320
 They don't have many good running backs.

1165
01:11:11,800 --> 01:11:14,440
 Dylan Stewart is banged up.

1166
01:11:14,900 --> 01:11:20,080
 Nick Harbour, I've heard about this guy for three years, has yet to make a real impact on the field.

1167
01:11:20,220 --> 01:11:22,480
 Yeah, he's really fast and he's really big.

1168
01:11:23,220 --> 01:11:23,900
 So what?

1169
01:11:24,500 --> 01:11:29,000
 It's like, you didn't know – if he's that talented an athlete, get him the ball.

1170
01:11:29,080 --> 01:11:30,360
 But they don't seem to make an effort.

1171
01:11:30,740 --> 01:11:32,600
 Again, I don't think it's a very well-coached team.

1172
01:11:33,760 --> 01:11:36,040
 Alabama can mess around and still win.

1173
01:11:36,700 --> 01:11:43,940
 But I think if you're an Alabama fan and an Alabama coach, you don't want to see any messing around early.

1174
01:11:44,560 --> 01:11:46,660
 The last two weeks they've done that.

1175
01:11:46,820 --> 01:11:53,640
 I think if they come out and immediately put their foot on the gas, this game will be ugly.

1176
01:11:54,320 --> 01:11:57,500
 And I think Alabama is going to win.

1177
01:11:57,800 --> 01:12:05,400
 To me, the question is do they win by 10 or 11 or do they win by what they should win by 24 or so?

1178
01:12:05,740 --> 01:12:07,760
 But I think there's no way South Carolina will win.

1179
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:12,820
 I ask you this summer, would Gary Patterson make a big difference at USC?

1180
01:12:13,060 --> 01:12:20,340
 And his defense gave up five 70-plus-yard drives to Rutgers last week.

1181
01:12:20,880 --> 01:12:27,080
 They've got their hosting Oregon, who should have lost their first two games, to Boise State.

1182
01:12:27,440 --> 01:12:30,080
 And then, of course, they did to Oklahoma State.

1183
01:12:30,580 --> 01:12:35,260
 Lincoln-Riley 5-14 against ranked opponents at USC.

1184
01:12:36,180 --> 01:12:38,140
 Oregon's got their own issues.

1185
01:12:38,500 --> 01:12:40,520
 Mike, what happens in the Coliseum?

1186
01:12:40,880 --> 01:12:42,340
 Yeah, I think this game is fascinating.

1187
01:12:42,600 --> 01:12:43,320
 Oregon loses.

1188
01:12:44,100 --> 01:12:46,240
 They're done, given who they have left.

1189
01:12:46,960 --> 01:12:48,780
 An extremely highly paid roster.

1190
01:12:49,480 --> 01:12:56,520
 I think the fact that they lost both their coordinators was a much bigger deal than people thought it would be.

1191
01:12:56,940 --> 01:13:01,920
 I think partly that's because he may not have hired the right guys, Dan Lanning.

1192
01:13:02,240 --> 01:13:03,380
 He promoted from within.

1193
01:13:03,500 --> 01:13:05,100
 That's not always the best thing to do.

1194
01:13:05,720 --> 01:13:07,520
 But USC's defense, you're right.

1195
01:13:07,660 --> 01:13:11,480
 I mean, USC's offense last week basically did what it wanted,

1196
01:13:11,700 --> 01:13:15,100
 and the game was close in the fourth quarter against Rutgers.

1197
01:13:15,480 --> 01:13:17,820
 I think part of that is travel.

1198
01:13:18,680 --> 01:13:26,320
 If you're a team in L.A., and you have to fly literally across the country to play a team in New Jersey,

1199
01:13:27,200 --> 01:13:28,480
 that's tough.

1200
01:13:29,520 --> 01:13:32,700
 I don't care if you have a gigantic talent advantage, which they do.

1201
01:13:32,700 --> 01:13:35,540
 I think they'll be playing at home this morning.

1202
01:13:35,980 --> 01:13:37,920
 The crowd will be there.

1203
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:41,820
 I think Oregon's in desperation mode.

1204
01:13:42,400 --> 01:13:48,580
 And while USC is missing an important player, the Moseley kid at wide receiver not supposed to play,

1205
01:13:48,680 --> 01:13:50,040
 they have a lot of weapons.

1206
01:13:50,040 --> 01:13:55,040
 And I think most important, Lincoln Riley, when he has a quarterback he's comfortable with,

1207
01:13:55,660 --> 01:13:59,140
 and he certainly has a quarterback he's comfortable with in Jaden Mayava,

1208
01:13:59,660 --> 01:14:03,500
 I think USC is going to put a boatload of points on the board.

1209
01:14:04,060 --> 01:14:08,000
 I think Oregon will score a lot too, but I think USC wins.

1210
01:14:08,420 --> 01:14:11,600
 I think this is a good USC team.

1211
01:14:13,340 --> 01:14:19,880
 It is sort of unbelievable that a Gary Patterson coach defense looked that bad last week.

1212
01:14:20,140 --> 01:14:24,160
 But the Oregon offensive line has not blocked well.

1213
01:14:25,620 --> 01:14:31,360
 USC's got a kid, Luke Waffle, who is an incredibly gifted freshman, Ed Rusher,

1214
01:14:31,760 --> 01:14:33,260
 and I think he's going to wreak havoc.

1215
01:14:33,500 --> 01:14:40,040
 And I think Dante Moore, against Oklahoma State, he played poorly and was here in footsteps.

1216
01:14:40,700 --> 01:14:43,560
 I think he'll be here in footsteps tomorrow, and I think USC wins.

1217
01:14:43,740 --> 01:14:44,180
 Absolutely.

1218
01:14:44,520 --> 01:14:48,980
 Well, listen, it is a college football junkies' dream day tomorrow.

1219
01:14:49,680 --> 01:14:51,060
 Listen, have a great weekend.

1220
01:14:51,180 --> 01:14:52,640
 Let's do this again next Friday.

1221
01:14:53,100 --> 01:14:53,400
 Excellent.

1222
01:14:53,520 --> 01:14:53,960
 Always enjoy.

1223
01:14:54,080 --> 01:14:54,180
 Thanks, guys.

1224
01:14:54,180 --> 01:14:54,520
 Bye, buddy.

1225
01:14:55,180 --> 01:14:55,700
 There you have it.

1226
01:14:55,720 --> 01:15:00,080

1227
01:15:00,420 --> 01:15:02,600
 What's going on in our neck of the woods tonight?

1228
01:15:02,860 --> 01:15:04,500
 Zach Pounder is at the stage next.

1229
01:15:04,560 --> 01:15:05,000
 Stay with us.

1230
01:15:09,200 --> 01:15:10,180
 Get comfortable.

1231
01:15:10,440 --> 01:15:12,100
 Football season is back at the carriage.

1232
01:15:12,640 --> 01:15:15,160
 There are a few things we love more than a good Saturday in the South,

1233
01:15:15,320 --> 01:15:17,760
 and football season is officially back at the carriage.

1234
01:15:18,020 --> 01:15:21,000
 All season long, we'll have the games rolling with plenty of cold drinks,

1235
01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:24,720
 good food, and a comfortable spot to settle in for a quarter, a game,

1236
01:15:24,820 --> 01:15:25,960
 or the better part of the day.

1237
01:15:26,440 --> 01:15:30,300
 Game day Saturdays get $5 craft drafts, $2 off wine slushies,

1238
01:15:30,600 --> 01:15:33,280
 drafts of mimosas, and game day bites from the kitchen.

1239
01:15:33,500 --> 01:15:37,400
 Stock up in our markets before kickoff with plenty of snacks, dips, cheeses,

1240
01:15:37,840 --> 01:15:40,420
 something sweet, and all the good stuff for your game day spread.

1241
01:15:40,820 --> 01:15:42,760
 Football season looks pretty good from the carriage

1242
01:15:42,760 --> 01:15:45,440

 I'm still going for it, even with higher stroke risk from atrial fibrillation

1252
01:16:18,980 --> 01:16:22,160
 and irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem.

1253
01:16:23,120 --> 01:16:27,300
 In a clinical study, Eliquis apixaban reduces stroke risk

1254
01:16:27,300 --> 01:16:29,320
 and has less major bleeding than warfarin.

1255
01:16:29,760 --> 01:16:32,620
 Don't stop prescription Eliquis without asking your doctor.

1256
01:16:32,860 --> 01:16:34,120
 Stroke risk may increase.

1257
01:16:34,300 --> 01:16:36,780
 Eliquis can cause serious and potentially fatal bleeding.

1258
01:16:37,100 --> 01:16:41,440
 Don't take if you have an artificial heart valve, abnormal bleeding, or antiphospholipid syndrome.

1259
01:16:41,780 --> 01:16:44,280
 While taking, you may bruise more easily or bleed longer.

1260
01:16:44,480 --> 01:16:47,820
 A spinal injection increases blood clot risk, which may cause paralysis.

1261

 Get medical help right away for unexpected bleeding or bruising,

1262
01:16:51,380 --> 01:16:54,840
 or back pain, tingling, numbness, muscle weakness, or incontinence.

1263
01:16:55,020 --> 01:17:00,140
 Aspirin products, NSAIDs, SSRIs, SNRIs, and blood thinners increase bleeding risk.

1264
01:17:00,140 --> 01:17:02,660
 Tell your doctor about planned medical or dental procedures.

1265
01:17:03,020 --> 01:17:06,840
 Learn more at Eliquis.com or call 1-855-ELIQUIS.

1266

 Shohei Otani's interpreter was fired today.

1279
01:17:53,980 --> 01:17:59,000
 Ipe Mitsuhara ran up gambling debts to a Southern California bookmaking operation.

1280
01:17:59,560 --> 01:18:03,840
 The inside story of the biggest scandal in modern baseball.

1281
01:18:03,840 --> 01:18:06,660
 He was absolutely bananas, the amount of bets he was making.

1282
01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:08,280
 I've never seen anything like it.

1283
01:18:08,580 --> 01:18:13,560
 From 30 for 30 Podcasts, this is The Betrayal of Shohei Otani.

1284
01:18:14,020 --> 01:18:15,220

01:18:40,320 --> 01:18:41,060
 Hello again, everybody.

1292
01:18:41,300 --> 01:18:42,060
 I'm Roger Hoover.

1293
01:18:42,420 --> 01:18:47,460
 As we get ready for Alabama against South Carolina, here are thoughts from the head coach of the Crimson Tide,

1294
01:18:47,800 --> 01:18:48,460
 Kalen DeBoer.

1295
01:18:48,600 --> 01:18:51,040
 How can we get them locked back in and get them going?

1296
01:18:52,000 --> 01:18:53,500
 Yeah, they're definitely locked in.

1297
01:18:53,640 --> 01:18:54,460
 I can promise you that.

1298
01:18:54,520 --> 01:18:57,800
 These guys, we have a great combination.

1299
01:18:58,140 --> 01:19:02,280
 We have more veterans on the defense, and the guys that have played a lot of snaps here

1300
01:19:02,280 --> 01:19:03,420
 and care a lot about the program.

1301
01:19:03,580 --> 01:19:06,040
 And so they didn't forget how to play football.

1302
01:19:06,280 --> 01:19:10,920
 It's a lot of times, again, just a matchup.

1303
01:19:11,060 --> 01:19:14,380
 It's just being on top of our game.

1304
01:19:15,080 --> 01:19:21,760
 And these guys, they've had a really good week of practice, and they care a lot.

1305
01:19:21,920 --> 01:19:23,760
 There's not a doubt in my mind how they'll respond.

1306
01:19:24,240 --> 01:19:25,160
 I'll have more in a moment.

1307
01:19:25,600 --> 01:19:27,540

1319
01:20:16,640 --> 01:20:19,980
 Crimson Tide Today is brought to you by Vector Security Champions Lane.

1320
01:20:20,420 --> 01:20:24,240
 Crimson Tide Today is a production of the Crimson Tide Sports Network from Learfield.

1321
01:20:24,300 --> 01:20:26,480
 Let me tell you something, legend.

1322
01:20:26,700 --> 01:20:31,340
 When A&M goes to Oklahoma, I'm going to tell you who I'm rooting for, the Meteor.

1323
01:20:31,540 --> 01:20:31,920
 Hook them.

1324
01:20:33,600 --> 01:20:39,560
 Paul Fungon, weekdays at 3 Eastern on the ESPN app and the SEC Network.

1325
01:20:40,260 --> 01:20:41,200
 The Score.

1326
01:20:41,680 --> 01:20:46,400
 Now, back with Boomo Bugg on 93.9 The Score.

1327
01:20:46,960 --> 01:20:47,660
 Welcome back in.

1328
01:20:47,720 --> 01:20:51,980
 The rest of the story with Paul coming up right after the Boomo Bugg show at the next top of the hour.

1329
01:20:52,060 --> 01:20:57,700
 But in the meantime, a pleasure for us to welcome the man, Zach Pounders, founder and editor of the Shoals Sports Report.

1330
01:20:57,860 --> 01:20:59,340
 Zach, welcome in.

1331
01:20:59,420 --> 01:21:04,640
 Normally, we sit here, we talk about high school football and all this in the positive vein.

1332
01:21:04,840 --> 01:21:09,440
 But, well, we've got, unfortunately, got to start off with some sad news out of Belgrade today, do we not?

1333
01:21:10,580 --> 01:21:12,880
 Yes, Belgrade had to postpone their game tonight.

1334
01:21:13,140 --> 01:21:16,740
 Usually, the heart for them is just a week with one of the players involved.

1335
01:21:17,960 --> 01:21:19,940
 Talk to the family and the team.

1336
01:21:20,080 --> 01:21:22,420
 Hopefully, they can come back and bounce back next week with a win.

1337
01:21:23,480 --> 01:21:23,880
 Absolutely.

1338
01:21:24,600 --> 01:21:26,820
 Zach, obviously, it's a light night overall.

1339
01:21:26,820 --> 01:21:31,160
 Talk to us just about maybe the thinking here, because we're basically at the halfway mark.

1340
01:21:31,300 --> 01:21:32,920
 That has a lot to do with it.

1341
01:21:32,980 --> 01:21:34,880
 Your thoughts about getting to this point.

1342
01:21:35,400 --> 01:21:41,280
 And let's face it, in terms of NASCAR, a lot of teams taking a pit stop before they get into the second half, their regular season schedule.

1343
01:21:42,040 --> 01:21:43,820
 Yes, a lot of it comes down to the scheduling.

1344
01:21:46,320 --> 01:21:50,100
 Pretty sure they have the schedule and post that to be over in January.

1345
01:21:50,800 --> 01:21:54,680
 But a lot of it comes down to your rivalry games or when you get a game on the schedule.

1346
01:21:55,120 --> 01:22:00,020
 And really, a foul game at the end is really a good point to stop and just heal up from injuries, if you have any,

1347
01:22:00,200 --> 01:22:07,300
 and get guys back on their feet from injuries, or just take some time off in the middle of the season before they're pushed for the playoffs.

1348
01:22:07,860 --> 01:22:08,300
 Absolutely.

1349
01:22:08,600 --> 01:22:15,940
 And you have got a fantastic mid-season report on all of the show's teams on Facebook.

1350
01:22:16,400 --> 01:22:20,080
 Record, upcoming schedule, where they are in the standings.

1351
01:22:20,940 --> 01:22:23,160
 We'll get into a little bit more of that in a minute.

1352
01:22:23,460 --> 01:22:24,780
 Game of the week.

1353
01:22:25,340 --> 01:22:28,600
 And I guess this is where you are going to be about Monday.

1354
01:22:29,220 --> 01:22:30,200
 Brooks at Central.

1355
01:22:30,560 --> 01:22:33,580
 Brooks 2-3 Central at 4-0.

1356
01:22:35,020 --> 01:22:39,140
 Lucas Price has been running wild for Central all year.

1357
01:22:39,240 --> 01:22:41,700
 They beat Elkmont last week 60-13.

1358
01:22:41,900 --> 01:22:45,160
 Malik Ball had an 80-yard touchdown return.

1359
01:22:45,380 --> 01:22:49,160
 Speedy Coffey, what a great name for a running back at Brooks.

1360
01:22:49,600 --> 01:22:52,280
 Already ran for nearly 600 yards.

1361
01:22:52,780 --> 01:22:53,980
 The game of the night.

1362
01:22:55,400 --> 01:22:56,580
 Brooks at Central.

1363
01:22:57,380 --> 01:22:58,560
 Yeah, it's kind of a slim pick.

1364
01:22:58,560 --> 01:23:02,980
 It's not only a six-game schedule, but with this game, it's one of those in-county games.

1365
01:23:03,580 --> 01:23:05,560
 And really an odd rivalry game also.

1366
01:23:06,420 --> 01:23:07,440
 You hear the numbers on this.

1367
01:23:07,640 --> 01:23:12,540
 The women of this game in the last nine years have scored 27 points at least.

1368
01:23:13,460 --> 01:23:19,580
 And Central's not beating Brooks at home three straight times since 84, 86, 89, 91, 93.

1369
01:23:20,860 --> 01:23:22,560
 Brooks has won at Central since 2020.

1370
01:23:23,880 --> 01:23:26,700
 So, a lot of, like, streaks and history on the line, just to tell you.

1371
01:23:27,160 --> 01:23:31,920
 But for Brooks, it's really a checkpoint game as far as how your season is going to go.

1372
01:23:32,420 --> 01:23:33,100
 You're 2-3.

1373
01:23:33,640 --> 01:23:37,160
 If you go to 2-4, you've still got to play Deschler and Proffs on your schedule.

1374
01:23:38,200 --> 01:23:41,860
 If you get to 2-4, you could go to a sub-500 season.

1375
01:23:42,240 --> 01:23:44,600
 But if you're Central, you can get to 5-0.

1376
01:23:45,240 --> 01:23:47,320
 You have to look in that 8-2, 9-1 range.

1377
01:23:49,100 --> 01:23:52,680
 Another matchup tonight, Rodgers hosting Whitesburg Christian.

1378
01:23:52,920 --> 01:23:56,120
 C.J. Davis, good game for the Pirates last week at quarterback.

1379
01:23:56,860 --> 01:24:02,100
 Whitesburg Christian comes in with basically, in essence, the Hall of Fame coaching staff.

1380
01:24:02,180 --> 01:24:06,700
 Head coach Jerry Adcock, yep, that's the one that you Decatur High fans remember all those years.

1381
01:24:06,840 --> 01:24:10,780
 And Kevin Rose, now the offensive coordinator coming down from Bob Jones.

1382
01:24:11,140 --> 01:24:17,480
 It's 4-1, or 3-1, Whitesburg Christian taking on the 4-0 Pirates of Rodgers tonight.

1383
01:24:18,360 --> 01:24:21,200
 Yeah, for Whitesburg Christian, they're going to get very familiar with the Scholes area.

1384
01:24:21,380 --> 01:24:24,560
 They get to play Rodgers, Mars Hill, and Scholes Christian back-to-back-to-back.

1385
01:24:25,480 --> 01:24:29,680
 And for this game, for Rodgers, it's really a checkpoint game.

1386
01:24:29,840 --> 01:24:33,180
 Can you save the feed to get a great coaching staff in Whitesburg Christian?

1387
01:24:34,100 --> 01:24:39,200
 And if you can, then you've got a three-week stretch in October coming up with West Limestone,

1388
01:24:39,460 --> 01:24:44,180
 Lardow County, Wilson, and Central, and Laksin over 5 weeks in October,

1389
01:24:44,780 --> 01:24:49,080
 where every team is at one loss or undefeated, except for Lardow County.

1390
01:24:49,440 --> 01:24:49,960
 Wow.

1391
01:24:50,680 --> 01:24:53,600
 Russellville, 4-1 at Coosa Christian.

1392
01:24:53,940 --> 01:25:00,120
 Yeah, that Coosa Christian, who was a state champion last year, they're 0-5.

1393
01:25:00,440 --> 01:25:02,380
 They've fallen off the mount this year.

1394
01:25:02,380 --> 01:25:06,340
 In fact, they've been outscored 253-42.

1395
01:25:06,540 --> 01:25:09,640
 Tripp, Cleveland's had a great year of quarterback for Russellville.

1396
01:25:10,260 --> 01:25:13,420
 Taurus Davis, in fact, Florence slowed him down a little bit.

1397
01:25:13,760 --> 01:25:18,220
 Zach, I don't think Russellville is going to be upset tonight at Coosa Christian.

1398
01:25:19,180 --> 01:25:19,860
 I don't either.

1399
01:25:20,060 --> 01:25:22,800
 I know Coach Higgins made the schedule for Russell this year, I'm pretty sure,

1400
01:25:23,360 --> 01:25:24,520
 due to this game in on schedule.

1401
01:25:25,300 --> 01:25:30,640
 And Russell waited a little bit to release their schedule for this reason.

1402
01:25:30,640 --> 01:25:35,260
 But, Coosa Christian, though, the reclassification, they went and played Pierce County, Georgia,

1403
01:25:35,340 --> 01:25:40,680
 which is a 6-8 in Georgia, Alexandria, which is a 4-8 Alabama top 4-8 team,

1404
01:25:41,580 --> 01:25:44,720
 and then White Square, Westbrook, Martith Hill, back-to-back-to-back out of the gate.

1405
01:25:45,320 --> 01:25:46,980
 So, really, 5-12 games to open up.

1406
01:25:47,060 --> 01:25:51,480
 It could be one of those, like, Calvert Heights, where you get 5-12 games or 5-8 games to start,

1407
01:25:51,980 --> 01:25:55,380
 and your season goes one way, and you flip it on its head next week.

1408
01:25:56,380 --> 01:25:59,140
 That's a road trip in itself right there, again, Tia.

1409
01:25:59,640 --> 01:26:03,860
 Zach, your thoughts, obviously, the team not playing tonight, amongst others, Florence High,

1410
01:26:04,100 --> 01:26:05,800
 couldn't get off to a better start.

1411
01:26:05,940 --> 01:26:10,120
 Your thoughts about what to expect from this Falcon team as they flip the page,

1412
01:26:10,200 --> 01:26:12,860
 turn the page, if will, getting ready tonight with a rest,

1413
01:26:13,240 --> 01:26:15,980
 but then getting back into action next week with the second half?

1414
01:26:16,980 --> 01:26:20,140
 Austin's done in the Adonis last week to shake up that region,

1415
01:26:21,020 --> 01:26:23,860
 and if Adonis gets to beat Austin, I don't see how they beat Florence.

1416
01:26:24,340 --> 01:26:25,720
 I don't think you find something to beat Florence.

1417
01:26:26,840 --> 01:26:28,620
 Austin might have a chance to beat Florence,

1418
01:26:28,840 --> 01:26:32,560
 but after that, I don't know if they beat Florence outside of Austin and Hartstall this year,

1419
01:26:33,220 --> 01:26:36,380
 and Florence could be up to the first 10-0 season in the school history for Florence High School.

1420
01:26:36,740 --> 01:26:37,180
 Wow.

1421
01:26:37,700 --> 01:26:41,520
 By the way, I asked you during the summer about one of your surprise teams.

1422
01:26:41,680 --> 01:26:42,600
 You said Wilson.

1423
01:26:42,600 --> 01:26:45,980
 Well, they beat Clemens last week 63-6,

1424
01:26:46,460 --> 01:26:47,600
 and they're 3-1.

1425
01:26:47,960 --> 01:26:51,720
 Rich Corm had two rushing touchdowns,

1426
01:26:51,820 --> 01:26:56,380
 and I know we're going to be talking about this next week in Class 4A Region 7.

1427
01:26:56,560 --> 01:27:02,200
 Again, your mid-season reports is excellent about every team in the shows.

1428
01:27:03,020 --> 01:27:06,240
 West Morgan and Dessler, I'm going to guess,

1429
01:27:06,300 --> 01:27:10,720
 is going to be one of the top games we're going to be talking about this time next Friday.

1430
01:27:11,280 --> 01:27:13,800
 Yeah, it's a tough tournament next week with West Morgan, Dessler,

1431
01:27:13,940 --> 01:27:14,860
 and Lexington and Carver County.

1432
01:27:14,880 --> 01:27:15,380
 It is.

1433
01:27:15,940 --> 01:27:16,140
 Okay.

1434
01:27:16,140 --> 01:27:21,020
 Both of them are staying booked with Regents' title line on playoff game on line,

1435
01:27:21,160 --> 01:27:25,540
 but that Dessler West Morgan game, just a heads up for anybody going to it next week.

1436
01:27:25,940 --> 01:27:27,780
 Rock the South is next week in Decatur.

1437
01:27:27,900 --> 01:27:28,320
 Oh, man.

1438
01:27:28,400 --> 01:27:31,360
 And the new ground for Rock the South, like new location,

1439
01:27:32,040 --> 01:27:34,120
 is across Highway 24 from West Morgan.

1440
01:27:34,360 --> 01:27:40,200
 So, West Morgan is going to do an unversible school on Thursday and Friday for safety concerns.

1441
01:27:41,240 --> 01:27:47,280
 I know there were rumors of trying to move the end of Tuesday of next week to get together without the traffic,

1442
01:27:47,900 --> 01:27:49,460
 but I think that's a dead rumor now.

1443
01:27:50,160 --> 01:27:56,120
 However, for West Morgan, you couldn't ask for more distractions, more who knows what.

1444
01:27:56,120 --> 01:28:00,280
 And as a coach, you just got to think, do not be stupid to my players.

1445
01:28:00,940 --> 01:28:02,140
 Like, don't let them be stupid.

1446
01:28:02,840 --> 01:28:03,080
 Right.

1447
01:28:03,200 --> 01:28:07,940
 And go to Rock the South Thursday night, be stupid, and sleep until 10 a.m. Friday or whatever.

1448
01:28:08,880 --> 01:28:09,860
 I don't know how you handle that.

1449
01:28:10,180 --> 01:28:14,100
 I don't know how you can handle fall break and get down for a storm or whatever,

1450
01:28:14,580 --> 01:28:16,260
 but for this, it's a whole different animal.

1451
01:28:17,260 --> 01:28:23,020
 And it's literally, West Morgan's on one side, 24-hour highway, Rock the South on the other side, 24-hour.

1452
01:28:23,200 --> 01:28:23,340
 Wow.

1453
01:28:24,140 --> 01:28:29,960
 So, if you go into that game next week, leave at like 3 or 4 o'clock if you can.

1454
01:28:30,040 --> 01:28:30,340
 Literally.

1455
01:28:30,340 --> 01:28:34,200
 If you get there early, great.

1456
01:28:34,620 --> 01:28:35,060
 Sit around.

1457
01:28:35,200 --> 01:28:37,540
 If you don't, who knows if you'll be able to get in.

1458
01:28:39,940 --> 01:28:40,780
 That's amazing.

1459
01:28:41,780 --> 01:28:42,180
 Absolutely.

1460
01:28:42,180 --> 01:28:45,320
 Well, listen, I always enjoy the conversation.

1461
01:28:45,920 --> 01:28:49,600
 We'll be talking about some big games, obviously, next week.

1462
01:28:49,700 --> 01:28:53,360
 And you're right about that, Lexington going to Colbert County game.

1463
01:28:53,820 --> 01:28:56,480
 Again, you have got every Shoals team.

1464
01:28:56,600 --> 01:29:01,000
 You've got their record, the upcoming schedule, where they are in the standings.

1465
01:29:01,480 --> 01:29:05,860
 Where can we get online and get the great mid-season report?

1466
01:29:06,820 --> 01:29:08,560
 Facebook, Shoals Sports Report.

1467
01:29:08,980 --> 01:29:14,340
 And then on Twitter, at lowercase, S-H-O-A-L-S-B-O-R-T-S.

1468
01:29:14,960 --> 01:29:19,260

1471
01:29:26,720 --> 01:29:27,780
 Sounds great, Zach.

1472
01:29:27,840 --> 01:29:29,580
 The weather should be better for you tonight.

1473
01:29:29,700 --> 01:29:31,340

1477
01:29:36,820 --> 01:29:39,340
 Coming up, another game on the Plains.

1478
01:29:39,440 --> 01:29:42,640
 The lady says the doors come down with Justin Ferguson next.

1479
01:29:42,720 --> 01:29:43,180
 Stay with us.

1480
01:29:43,820 --> 01:29:59,060
 Getting the kids to practice on time.

1481
01:29:59,500 --> 01:30:01,300
 Remembering if it's your day to bring snacks.

1482
01:30:01,780 --> 01:30:03,560
 Making it to the game with a clean jersey.

1483
01:30:04,060 --> 01:30:06,420
 Why are simple things sometimes so complicated?

1484
01:30:06,900 --> 01:30:09,700
 Thankfully, with Auto Owners, insurance doesn't have to be one of them.

1485
01:30:10,060 --> 01:30:15,020
 Auto Owners works with independent agents who answer when you call, so you can worry about more important things,

1486
01:30:15,420 --> 01:30:18,180
 like whether your kid is going to run toward first or third base.

1487
01:30:18,740 --> 01:30:20,020
 That's simple human sense.

1488
01:30:20,020 --> 01:30:24,920

 The pests come looking for a place to stay.

1493
01:30:35,140 --> 01:30:36,400

 We all hear the radio ads about the IRS.

1515
01:31:45,520 --> 01:31:49,100
 They tell you to be afraid, to be scared, and they try to frighten you into calling.

1516
01:31:49,440 --> 01:31:50,360
 I'm not here to do that.

 In this time of year, with the kids back in school surrounded by hundreds of others,

1535
01:32:48,620 --> 01:32:54,140
 yours may bring home a whole new world of viruses and bacteria your family may have no immunity to.

1536
01:32:54,480 --> 01:32:56,300
 No kids, viruses are still everywhere.

 Urgent care?

 Get dressed and wait in a room full of sick people.

1542
01:33:06,540 --> 01:33:07,100
 Your doctor?

1543
01:33:07,300 --> 01:33:07,780
 Good luck.

1544
01:33:08,180 --> 01:33:13,960

01:35:25,340 --> 01:35:26,980
 Um, I got a cute hiking backpack.

1596
01:35:27,560 --> 01:35:28,460
 It's an outdoor era.

1597
01:35:28,660 --> 01:35:30,340
 Well, you only bought one thing.

1598
01:35:30,380 --> 01:35:31,440
 I don't think it's an era.

1599
01:35:31,640 --> 01:35:33,900
 Well, I think we're in a agree to disagree era.

1600
01:35:34,040 --> 01:35:34,460
 Yeah, sure.

1601
01:35:34,540 --> 01:35:35,120
 You're probably right.

1602
01:35:35,220 --> 01:35:37,700
 Anyway, with the money you could save by switching to Progressive,

1603
01:35:37,720 --> 01:35:39,420
 you can afford to switch to other things in life.

1604
01:35:39,660 --> 01:35:40,480
 It's my savings era.

1605
01:35:40,740 --> 01:35:42,340
 Also, everything you do is not an error.

1606
01:35:42,340 --> 01:35:44,420
 Progressive Casualty Insurance Company and affiliates.

1607
01:35:45,420 --> 01:35:48,020
 This is Roger Huber with the Crimson Tide Sports Network.

1608
01:35:48,420 --> 01:35:52,880
 Join me and Tyler Walk this fall on Monday nights at 6 p.m. for Crimson Tide Rewind.

1609
01:35:53,140 --> 01:35:57,380
 Live from Baumhauer's Victory Grill in Vestavia Hills and on this great station.

1610
01:35:57,780 --> 01:35:59,100
 Tune in and roll tide.

1611
01:36:00,440 --> 01:36:01,560
 The Score.

1612
01:36:02,100 --> 01:36:06,620
 Now, back with Boomo Bugg on 93.9 The Score.

1613
01:36:07,260 --> 01:36:07,880
 Welcome back in.

1614
01:36:07,900 --> 01:36:10,800
 It is a pleasure for us to open the door and say hello to Justin Ferguson.

1615
01:36:10,920 --> 01:36:13,960
 Got the Auburn Tigers covered at the Auburn Observer.

1616
01:36:14,140 --> 01:36:15,120
 Justin, welcome in.

1617
01:36:15,200 --> 01:36:15,740
 How are you?

1618
01:36:17,100 --> 01:36:17,920
 I'm doing all right.

1619
01:36:17,980 --> 01:36:18,220
 How are you all?

1620
01:36:18,260 --> 01:36:18,520
 Hey, Boone.

1621
01:36:18,720 --> 01:36:19,480
 Man, we're doing all right.

1622
01:36:19,520 --> 01:36:20,380
 It's hard to believe.

1623
01:36:20,580 --> 01:36:24,140
 We're coming up on the fourth game, all home games for Auburn.

1624
01:36:24,740 --> 01:36:28,620
 Justin, looking in the rearview mirror, what we're going to remember about this September

1625
01:36:28,620 --> 01:36:30,360
 for the new era of Tiger football.

1626
01:36:31,700 --> 01:36:32,580
 I think a lot.

1627
01:36:32,680 --> 01:36:36,360
 It's going to depend on what happens tomorrow with this Vanderbilt game.

1628
01:36:36,480 --> 01:36:41,400
 It's become a pretty must-win game, as much of a must-win game as you can get for game

1629
01:36:41,400 --> 01:36:42,860
 four of a coaching tenure.

1630
01:36:43,460 --> 01:36:47,060
 You know, I don't think it's a big surprise that Auburn lost to Florida.

1631
01:36:47,220 --> 01:36:50,500
 Florida was the favorite coming into it, but I think it was how they lost, especially

1632
01:36:50,500 --> 01:36:56,400
 on the defensive end, that really was discouraging, and Auburn's got to bounce back tomorrow

1633
01:36:56,400 --> 01:36:57,340
 against Vanderbilt.

1634
01:36:57,340 --> 01:36:58,440
 They've got an opportunity.

1635
01:36:59,080 --> 01:37:03,260
 The schedule gods gave them a favor by letting them play a game against Vanderbilt right after

1636
01:37:03,260 --> 01:37:07,580
 that Florida game, so they need to take advantage of it before they hit October, which is going

1637
01:37:07,580 --> 01:37:08,460
 to be a pretty tough stretch.

1638
01:37:09,620 --> 01:37:10,100
 Absolutely.

1639
01:37:11,300 --> 01:37:15,460
 Auburn running backs had 12 total carries.

1640
01:37:16,580 --> 01:37:21,700
 Jeremiah Cobb should have had more than 12 carries, but I understand when you get behind,

1641
01:37:21,820 --> 01:37:25,240
 sometimes the game plan is thrown out the window.

1642
01:37:25,740 --> 01:37:30,860
 You've got to put the offensive line in there and then also the quarterback, but your thoughts,

1643
01:37:31,500 --> 01:37:33,440
 Auburn needs to run the ball against Vandy.

1644
01:37:34,660 --> 01:37:39,200
 Yeah, they do, and I think that's one of the better matchup advantages they have in this game

1645
01:37:39,200 --> 01:37:43,940
 is that Vanderbilt's kind of been a little prone to the big play, even on the ground through the first few

1646
01:37:43,940 --> 01:37:47,520
 weeks of the season, so they've got to be able to go out there and get it done.

1647
01:37:47,800 --> 01:37:51,880
 Yeah, I mean, I think it's just, you know, you had nothing going in that first, you know,

1648
01:37:51,880 --> 01:37:54,420
 you think about first quarter, Auburn goes three and out, three and out, three and out.

1649
01:37:54,880 --> 01:37:59,800
 They got three and out to start the second half as well, and so, you know, it's just there wasn't

1650
01:37:59,800 --> 01:38:03,320
 a whole lot of time to run the ball, and then they had to play catch-up most of the way,

1651
01:38:03,700 --> 01:38:05,820
 but they probably, you know, they do need to run the ball more.

1652
01:38:06,020 --> 01:38:09,320
 It needs to be something where they need to kind of be maybe a little bit more stubborn

1653
01:38:09,320 --> 01:38:11,840
 with it early on in games and just try to stick with it.

1654
01:38:12,460 --> 01:38:14,460
 You know, the offensive line's got to do their job.

1655
01:38:14,560 --> 01:38:18,440
 I think Auburn could probably also benefit from maybe running Byron Brown a little more

1656
01:38:18,440 --> 01:38:21,600
 on just some design runs or some options to kind of loosen things up,

1657
01:38:22,060 --> 01:38:25,600
 but, yeah, I mean, this is an Auburn team that has been able to show they can throw the ball

1658
01:38:25,600 --> 01:38:29,420
 downfield, but you don't want to, you know, build the whole thing out of that.

1659
01:38:29,840 --> 01:38:32,480
 I do think Auburn's gotten better through the air this season,

1660
01:38:33,280 --> 01:38:35,320
 even with some of the issues that Byron Brown's had.

1661
01:38:36,060 --> 01:38:37,680
 They've got to be able to run the ball, though.

1662
01:38:37,720 --> 01:38:38,860
 They've got to find some consistency.

1663
01:38:39,200 --> 01:38:41,600
 They've got to find a line that can do it on a consistent basis

1664
01:38:41,600 --> 01:38:43,360
 and then just kind of stick to it.

1665
01:38:43,660 --> 01:38:46,180
 I think this Vanderbilt matchup could provide that to them, you know,

1666
01:38:46,200 --> 01:38:49,120
 provided they don't dig themselves in a hole early like they did against Florida.

1667
01:38:49,780 --> 01:38:51,800
 Justin Ferguson, the Auburn Observer.

1668
01:38:51,800 --> 01:38:54,480
 Justin, obviously fans are going to love you when you win.

1669
01:38:54,580 --> 01:38:55,900
 They're going to critique you when you lose.

1670
01:38:55,980 --> 01:38:56,840
 That's across the board.

1671
01:38:56,940 --> 01:38:58,980
 Doesn't matter what jersey you're wearing or what emblem.

1672
01:38:59,620 --> 01:39:02,640
 Your thoughts just about what fans are saying about the speed of the game.

1673
01:39:02,720 --> 01:39:06,200
 We know coming in that Goldish loves to speed things up.

1674
01:39:06,260 --> 01:39:09,160
 We're the second fastest team last year, second to West Virginia.

1675
01:39:09,840 --> 01:39:12,380
 That's great when it works, but if you don't,

1676
01:39:12,460 --> 01:39:14,800
 sometimes you can wear your defense out in a hurry

1677
01:39:14,800 --> 01:39:18,180
 and you can give up a lot of points, a.k.a. last weekend.

1678
01:39:18,460 --> 01:39:21,080
 Where do you start in breaking down some of the critiques,

1679
01:39:21,240 --> 01:39:23,360
 saying basically that's good when it works,

1680
01:39:23,440 --> 01:39:25,240
 but you better have a B plan when it doesn't.

1681
01:39:25,380 --> 01:39:26,780
 Don't wear your defense out.

1682
01:39:27,960 --> 01:39:30,780
 Yeah, I mean, I think Auburn's defense wore itself out in that game.

1683
01:39:30,880 --> 01:39:33,680
 I think they had opportunities to get off the field on third down and didn't.

1684
01:39:34,080 --> 01:39:36,240
 And, you know, that contributed to some of those long drives.

1685
01:39:36,300 --> 01:39:36,620
 You're right.

1686
01:39:36,700 --> 01:39:39,040
 I mean, I think going three and out when you go, you know,

1687
01:39:39,080 --> 01:39:42,540
 going three and out in 45 seconds is nobody's idea of a good plan.

1688
01:39:42,660 --> 01:39:45,360
 For Auburn, it's just you've got to find a way to get that first first down.

1689
01:39:45,520 --> 01:39:49,280
 And I think being able to play fast and move the chains that way

1690
01:39:49,280 --> 01:39:50,560
 is the way you want to go.

1691
01:39:50,760 --> 01:39:54,300
 But the issue is, yes, when you go three and out as quickly as they do.

1692
01:39:54,360 --> 01:39:56,980
 And I thought Auburn tried to stretch the field a little too much,

1693
01:39:57,320 --> 01:40:00,780
 passing the ball and got into those situations and got to hurt themselves.

1694
01:40:00,780 --> 01:40:04,700
 And, yeah, you know, in the second half when you're trying to play catch-up,

1695
01:40:04,780 --> 01:40:07,560
 but you're also knowing your defense has been on the field a lot.

1696
01:40:07,640 --> 01:40:09,760
 I think Auburn's defense has got to do a better job just getting off the field.

1697
01:40:09,840 --> 01:40:11,160
 They've had opportunities to do so.

1698
01:40:11,880 --> 01:40:13,600
 You know, I think I put that more on them.

1699
01:40:13,640 --> 01:40:16,300
 But, yes, especially with the way that first quarter went,

1700
01:40:16,380 --> 01:40:19,660
 Auburn could have helped itself out a little bit more by running it, you know,

1701
01:40:19,720 --> 01:40:21,960
 not sticking to it to start the second half.

1702
01:40:22,080 --> 01:40:25,040
 And then that game kind of getting away from kind of went out of, you know,

1703
01:40:25,080 --> 01:40:26,460
 kind of got everything out of control there.

1704
01:40:26,700 --> 01:40:30,660
 You know, when you miss 24 tackles, it's glaring.

1705
01:40:30,780 --> 01:40:35,140
 But there are a lot of reasons for that, taking poor angles.

1706
01:40:35,920 --> 01:40:38,140
 Let's give Florida a little bit of credit, too.

1707
01:40:38,220 --> 01:40:43,960
 They've got probably the best running back in the SEC, Philo, Buster Faulkner,

1708
01:40:44,180 --> 01:40:47,720
 or a great pair.

1709
01:40:48,320 --> 01:40:49,840
 Now, this is a good defense.

1710
01:40:50,000 --> 01:40:52,440
 D.J. Durkin is a good coordinator.

1711
01:40:53,000 --> 01:40:55,560
 I think they clean up a lot of this against Vandy.

1712
01:40:56,740 --> 01:40:57,700
 Yeah, they have to.

1713
01:40:57,780 --> 01:41:00,500
 And I think they came into this week saying a lot of the stuff that hurt them

1714
01:41:00,500 --> 01:41:02,000
 against Florida was correctable.

1715
01:41:02,100 --> 01:41:03,380
 It's guys not being in the right position.

1716
01:41:03,520 --> 01:41:06,120
 It's guys making, you know, not being able to finish tackles.

1717
01:41:06,360 --> 01:41:09,520
 It's stuff that they did wrong more than what Florida did right.

1718
01:41:09,620 --> 01:41:13,220
 And I think you go back and look, Florida won that game because of big plays.

1719
01:41:13,360 --> 01:41:16,280
 If you take out the big plays, they don't have a whole lot of success.

1720
01:41:16,280 --> 01:41:18,120
 But the big plays were all touchdowns, basically.

1721
01:41:18,180 --> 01:41:20,480
 And that's what really kind of changed the game there.

1722
01:41:20,960 --> 01:41:22,860
 So, yeah, I mean, they've got to be more consistent.

1723
01:41:23,320 --> 01:41:25,500
 They've got to find a way to get off the field on third and long.

1724
01:41:25,580 --> 01:41:26,640
 They've been really bad at it.

1725
01:41:26,640 --> 01:41:28,900
 That was an issue they had sometime last year as well.

1726
01:41:29,300 --> 01:41:30,500
 They've got to clean that up.

1727
01:41:30,960 --> 01:41:34,260
 And the tackling, like the last thing you want to do is give a team like Vanderbilt

1728
01:41:34,260 --> 01:41:36,940
 coming in here extra opportunities to move the chains.

1729
01:41:37,820 --> 01:41:41,800
 You know, Vanderbilt's a team that, you know, talent-wise is not what they, you know,

1730
01:41:41,960 --> 01:41:43,320
 even were last year.

1731
01:41:44,000 --> 01:41:47,340
 But it's a team that plays clean football, and they're not going to make a ton of mistakes.

1732
01:41:47,340 --> 01:41:50,880
 And so if Auburn comes out and plays the same kind of mistake-filled football

1733
01:41:50,880 --> 01:41:55,500
 they played on defense against Florida, Vanderbilt's got the talent, you know,

1734
01:41:55,500 --> 01:42:00,400
 or I guess the players and the style of play, I should say, to make it happen.

1735
01:42:00,600 --> 01:42:03,860
 So I think for Auburn, I think you've got to come out there and say, hey,

1736
01:42:04,200 --> 01:42:07,460
 what we did last week, hey, that was an off night for our defense.

1737
01:42:07,760 --> 01:42:08,820
 That's not who we are.

1738
01:42:09,100 --> 01:42:12,940
 You know, we got outplayed, outschemed, outcoached, you know, all of the above.

1739
01:42:13,480 --> 01:42:15,280
 Those are going to happen from time to time.

1740
01:42:15,400 --> 01:42:20,040
 But Auburn's got to come out there tomorrow and show that this defense is better than that.

1741
01:42:20,260 --> 01:42:24,380
 If they do, you have a chance to kind of, hey, get right back on track, you know,

1742
01:42:24,380 --> 01:42:27,780
 and just say, hey, you know, that loss to Florida was an off night.

1743
01:42:27,980 --> 01:42:33,500
 If you don't, that's a real bad sign because this is a side of the ball that retained its coordinator,

1744
01:42:33,640 --> 01:42:36,140
 retained some experience, retained some talent.

1745
01:42:36,500 --> 01:42:40,780
 And you don't want to be going backwards in that area, especially with the October Auburn's got coming up.

1746
01:42:40,920 --> 01:42:41,860
 That's what I was going to say.

1747
01:42:41,960 --> 01:42:45,400
 You don't want to go backwards, especially when you look forward to that schedule and the road games.

1748
01:42:45,460 --> 01:42:49,080
 You've got to pay for the other side of the schedule when you have that many home games at the front end.

1749
01:42:49,620 --> 01:42:51,600
 Justin Ferguson, the Auburn Observer.

1750
01:42:51,840 --> 01:42:57,280
 Justin, one thing that there's obviously right now a lot of things that Auburn fans are saying, help, help, help.

1751
01:42:57,700 --> 01:43:05,400
 But another reality is, in an amazing college football, one crazy play can develop a personality for a team.

1752
01:43:05,540 --> 01:43:13,100
 Vanderbilt's got the numbers, but they've also got some of the, how can we put this mildly, put it out of certain anatomical parts or some of those wins.

1753
01:43:14,320 --> 01:43:16,460
 All things are balanced at the end.

1754
01:43:16,540 --> 01:43:21,640
 But coming in, they're going to have a young quarterback on the road playing at Auburn.

1755
01:43:21,720 --> 01:43:23,920
 Your thoughts on how that plays to Auburn's advantage.

1756
01:43:24,120 --> 01:43:32,280
 Who knows, this kid may have ice water for blood, but it's going to be a challenge for a kid coming in his first true road test coming into that environment.

1757
01:43:33,320 --> 01:43:35,440
 Yeah, Jared Curtis is a really talented quarterback.

1758
01:43:35,740 --> 01:43:39,080
 I mean, number one player in his class coming out of high school by some metric.

1759
01:43:39,200 --> 01:43:42,020
 So you look at him against NC State last week.

1760
01:43:42,060 --> 01:43:44,140
 He made some awesome plays and some awesome throws.

1761
01:43:44,300 --> 01:43:46,860
 And I don't doubt he's going to be able to do some of that tomorrow.

1762
01:43:47,400 --> 01:43:51,520
 The talent there with him, he's got a wide receiver, Junior Sherrill, that's really good as well.

1763
01:43:52,080 --> 01:43:54,020
 So, I mean, I think he's a great player.

1764
01:43:54,280 --> 01:43:55,440
 He is going to make some mistakes.

1765
01:43:55,560 --> 01:43:57,020
 He has some really bad throws.

1766
01:43:57,220 --> 01:44:00,140
 He has some really bad turnovers, some bad decision making.

1767
01:44:00,660 --> 01:44:02,220
 You got some freshman mistakes there.

1768
01:44:02,220 --> 01:44:08,180
 And I think for Auburn, the key in this game is you've got to put him in those tough situations and then take advantage.

1769
01:44:09,140 --> 01:44:12,300
 Vanderbilt, 102nd in the country coming into this game in third down defense.

1770
01:44:12,900 --> 01:44:14,620
 Curtis is as good as he's been.

1771
01:44:14,820 --> 01:44:17,480
 He hasn't been great on third down so far this year.

1772
01:44:17,560 --> 01:44:19,260
 I mean, nothing about Vanderbilt's offense has.

1773
01:44:19,480 --> 01:44:23,480
 So, for Auburn, can you win enough on early downs, make him have to throw the ball downfield?

1774
01:44:23,580 --> 01:44:24,740
 He's got the arm to do it.

1775
01:44:25,100 --> 01:44:27,720
 You know, he's got a receiver or two that can go out there and do it.

1776
01:44:27,740 --> 01:44:30,580
 But Auburn's got to be able to take advantage of that.

1777
01:44:30,580 --> 01:44:37,880
 One of the interesting stats coming into this game is, you know, freshman quarterbacks, true freshman quarterbacks starting in Jordan-Hare Stadium.

1778
01:44:38,340 --> 01:44:43,600
 The last one to do it was Michael Hawkins a couple years ago for Oklahoma in a close win.

1779
01:44:43,700 --> 01:44:47,300
 Obviously, that was the pick-six game for Peyton Thorne.

1780
01:44:47,860 --> 01:44:53,600
 Before that, Auburn had won eight straight games at home against freshmen making starts in Jordan-Hare Stadium.

1781
01:44:53,820 --> 01:44:56,620
 So, the track record says it's a pretty good spot to play.

1782
01:44:57,420 --> 01:45:03,820
 He might end up being Matthew Stafford, but it could also end up being a lot like some of these other guys who have struggled in Jordan-Hare.

1783
01:45:03,940 --> 01:45:08,500
 Auburn's defense has got to get back to that kind of form tomorrow against a guy like Jared Curtis.

1784
01:45:08,600 --> 01:45:10,360
 So, again, I think he's going to make some great plays tomorrow.

1785
01:45:10,560 --> 01:45:11,680
 I think he's going to make some mistakes.

1786
01:45:11,800 --> 01:45:13,240
 Auburn's got to capitalize on those mistakes.

1787
01:45:13,240 --> 01:45:22,660
 Well, one thing we do know is the Auburn Observer has got some of the best pre-game coverage of Auburn and Vanderbilt.

01:46:04,880 --> 01:46:05,240
 Wow.

1804
01:46:05,240 --> 01:46:06,540
 They're going to be here before you know it.

1805
01:46:06,540 --> 01:46:07,260
 No way.

1806
01:46:07,260 --> 01:46:08,940

 Grilling season's here.

1820
01:46:38,740 --> 01:46:40,860
 Now we find out what we're made of.

1821
01:46:41,260 --> 01:46:43,680
 Are we going to fold under pressure and overcook the burgers?

1822
01:46:44,020 --> 01:46:49,620
 Or are we going to nail the carne asada and the brisket and pack the coolers with ice-cold Budweiser and Bud Light?

1823
01:46:49,800 --> 01:46:56,340
 Because that's the difference between winning and losing, between flipping burgers and grilling like a pro.

1824
01:46:57,180 --> 01:46:59,960
 This summer, grill like a pro with Bud and Bud Light.

1825

 and auburn and vandy this is going to be an interesting ball game vandy's been playing

1911
01:53:57,160 --> 01:54:02,120
