15
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:13,940
 But Jimmy is here right now to talk about the keys for Alabama to get a win in Red Stick.

16
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:15,380
 Keys are playing.

17
00:01:15,500 --> 00:01:16,200
 Well, it's playing.

18
00:01:16,340 --> 00:01:19,760
 Jimmy Stein, co-host of Locked On Bama, part of the Locked On Network.

19
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:26,220
 And with Luke Robison and over on the podcast, cover crimson with the rascal name, Travis Ryder on YouTube.

20
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:27,640
 Jimmy, welcome in.

21
00:01:27,740 --> 00:01:28,320
 How are you?

22
00:01:29,100 --> 00:01:30,060
 Oh, doing great, guys.

23
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:30,660
 Thanks for having me back.

24
00:01:30,660 --> 00:01:31,060
 Good, Jimmy.

25
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:32,160
 I appreciate it.

26
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:33,960
 We're just listening to some of the folks this morning.

27
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:40,120
 And the question, I guess, Jimmy, a lot of folks are asking, is it too late, based on all the news you're hearing out of Vegas and other places,

28
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,360
 is it too late for Bama to cancel their flight to Baton Rouge this weekend?

29
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,560
 There is a lot of pessimism out there.

30
00:01:47,700 --> 00:01:54,440
 It's not just with the national folks, although the national folks tend to be flocking to the LSU pick,

31
00:01:54,440 --> 00:02:01,460
 as we know that the line earlier, really before this week, kind of started in that two-and-a-half to three-and-a-half point range,

32
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,140
 going all the way up to six-and-a-half, band-duel in some places.

33
00:02:05,460 --> 00:02:07,920
 So, the betting public is going LSU.

34
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:09,920
 The national analysts are going LSU.

35
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:16,440
 Even three of my five compadres that cover Crimson have picked LSU to win.

36
00:02:16,660 --> 00:02:19,640
 My podcast partner, Luke Robinson, picked LSU to win.

37
00:02:19,740 --> 00:02:20,460
 Oh, my goodness.

38
00:02:21,460 --> 00:02:22,420
 I'm picking Alabama.

39
00:02:22,660 --> 00:02:24,260
 But I'm picking Alabama.

40
00:02:25,060 --> 00:02:25,560
 All right.

41
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:34,400
 I think the pessimism stems, guys, I think, well, from a couple of things.

42
00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:39,700
 But here's the primary, actual, objective reason to be pessimistic.

43
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:45,960
 Alabama has not been great at protecting the passer.

44
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,060
 That's been a problem for them.

45
00:02:48,180 --> 00:02:51,920
 They rank in the 100s in terms of allowing pressures and sacks.

46
00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:58,280
 LSU, conversely, is extremely good at getting after the quarterback and pressuring the quarterback.

47
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:06,180
 I think Alabama fans recently saw in Knoxville what happens on the road when the quarterback gets extreme pressure

48
00:03:06,180 --> 00:03:07,660
 and you're not able to run the ball.

49
00:03:07,660 --> 00:03:09,480
 Alabama only mustered ten points.

50
00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:11,460
 That happens again in Baton Rouge.

51
00:03:12,020 --> 00:03:13,820
 You're going to lose the football game.

52
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:22,720
 So how Alabama has improved since the Knoxville game in terms of protecting the quarterback

53
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:28,440
 and running the football is what will give Alabama a chance to win the game.

54
00:03:28,820 --> 00:03:32,900
 But the pessimism is understandable when you look at it from that angle.

55
00:03:33,580 --> 00:03:40,240
 Jimmy, let's start with the health of this team is the most important factor going into LSU.

56
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:44,220
 And you're right about LSU's very good defensive front seven.

57
00:03:44,380 --> 00:03:48,640
 They're second in the league with 34 sacks to Tennessee's 35.

58
00:03:49,140 --> 00:03:58,840
 But if Alabama can get Ryan Coleman-Williams, Rayson Delgado, Terrence Green, Zabian Brown, maybe E.J. Crowell,

59
00:03:59,540 --> 00:04:04,660
 and if some of the other guys who have been beat up, quite frankly, for a month,

60
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:12,340
 were rejuvenated a little bit during the bye week, I think this team does have a good chance to win this football game.

61
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:20,160
 But, Jimmy, what are you hearing with your sources as far as the top five or six starters possibly coming back for LSU?

62
00:04:20,980 --> 00:04:23,820
 Yeah, very optimistic, actually, very optimistic.

63
00:04:24,020 --> 00:04:30,400
 Now, understand that, you know, based on what I hear, based on what I believe is going to be the case,

64
00:04:30,820 --> 00:04:32,780
 that you're going to really see all of those guys.

65
00:04:32,860 --> 00:04:35,260
 I'm not as optimistic on Will Sanders.

66
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,780
 I know he's listed as questionable, but I'm not as optimistic there.

67
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:44,080
 I'm not quite as optimistic on E.J. Crowell, although I do think that's very possible.

68
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:49,600
 But what happens when you've got guys practicing throughout the week and you're seeing how they're going to hold up,

69
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,240
 sometimes you really don't know until game day.

70
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,020
 There's this extra shot of adrenaline.

71
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:55,120
 There's this excitement.

72
00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:00,360
 There's more physicality than some people might realize in pregame warm-ups,

73
00:05:00,580 --> 00:05:01,560
 especially at some spots.

74
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:08,040
 I remember having Caden Proctor going through a season-long injury that he suffered in warm-ups before the first game.

75
00:05:09,100 --> 00:05:15,200
 I think some of these guys, it might not be called a game-time decision, but it really is.

76
00:05:15,700 --> 00:05:18,700
 But that said, I'm optimistic about them returning.

77
00:05:18,940 --> 00:05:22,300
 What I'm a little less optimistic about is, sure, Zabian's back.

78
00:05:22,460 --> 00:05:23,720
 Sure, Terrence Green's back.

79
00:05:23,820 --> 00:05:24,640
 Sure, Ryan's back.

80
00:05:25,020 --> 00:05:27,820
 Are they the same players they were before the injuries?

81
00:05:28,340 --> 00:05:36,840
 And that's a fair question to ask and is also reason, you know, to be a little concerned.

82
00:05:36,840 --> 00:05:43,340
 But that said, I do think with all those guys back, so many people are pointing to what happened in Knoxville

83
00:05:43,340 --> 00:05:45,740
 as evidence of what will happen in Baton Rouge.

84
00:05:46,220 --> 00:05:47,920
 That may prove to be the case.

85
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,360
 But I want to remind people, I think the Alabama team you're going to see in Baton Rouge is going to resemble

86
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,000
 a lot more like the team that won its first five games.

87
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:01,000
 Some of those games now, in retrospect, look like pretty impressive wins.

88
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:07,960
 I don't think Alabama fans knew at the time that they had just beaten the No. 6 team in the country on the road

89
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:13,940
 by three touchdowns like they did with Kentucky, or that they beat a ranked South Carolina team

90
00:06:13,940 --> 00:06:15,660
 now with two-thirds of the season over.

91
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:16,320
 They're ranked.

92
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,560
 That was a ranked win by several touchdowns.

93
00:06:19,860 --> 00:06:22,320
 You beat Mississippi State by four touchdowns.

94
00:06:22,500 --> 00:06:27,660
 I don't think we know Camario wasn't Camario when they played Alabama, but he was still on the field

95
00:06:27,660 --> 00:06:31,020
 and they were coming off some big wins.

96
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:36,160
 I think the Alabama team we see in Baton Rouge will look more like the September Alabama team

97
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:42,240
 and even the Alabama team that battled Georgia in a game that literally could have gone either way.

98
00:06:42,340 --> 00:06:43,460
 It went Georgia's way.

99
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:44,720
 Credit Georgia for that.

100
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:51,480
 But, gosh, if just one of those four fumbles that Georgia recovered ended up in Alabama's hands,

101
00:06:51,820 --> 00:06:57,680
 if just one of those four disputed, controversial calls had gone Alabama's way,

102
00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:59,340
 maybe that game turns.

103
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:04,560
 Alabama, I would say it's fair to say that that Alabama-Georgia game was sort of a draw.

104
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,420
 I mean, in terms of, you know, how easily it could have gone the other way.

105
00:07:08,420 --> 00:07:14,020
 So, if that team that we saw in September and the team that played Georgia that night in Tuscaloosa,

106
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:18,560
 if that's the team LSU's got to beat, it's going to be an interesting 60-minute game.

107
00:07:19,460 --> 00:07:20,900
 Jimmy Stein locked on Bema.

108
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:25,000
 Jimmy, that takes care of the Jimmys and Joes, but there's two other names we need to know,

109
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:26,180
 and that's Grubb and Womack.

110
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:32,680
 What have they learned to sit here and help this kid out as far as a short game?

111
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,520
 I mean, it seems like it's a rinse and repeat every game.

112
00:07:36,580 --> 00:07:40,260
 They keep waiting for Grubb to come up and scheme something, take some of the pressure off for us.

113
00:07:40,300 --> 00:07:41,560
 So, we know the line's been suspect.

114
00:07:41,700 --> 00:07:42,960
 We know the running game's been suspect.

115
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,880
 So, at this point in the season, what's it going to take to get through his head and say,

116
00:07:46,980 --> 00:07:49,480
 maybe we need to go to plan B, C, or down to Z?

117
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:56,020
 I think DeBoer's record after bye weeks, I believe it's 8-0 after bye weeks.

118
00:07:56,660 --> 00:08:01,900
 And I think, I know that I didn't use the words Grubb or Womack there, but they worked for him.

119
00:08:02,340 --> 00:08:09,000
 I think what DeBoer has managed to find on bye weeks has been helpful to his coordinators.

120
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,240
 You are now eight games in.

121
00:08:11,500 --> 00:08:14,300
 You know your team a lot better than you did before.

122
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,520
 You've seen them now in multiple hostile environments.

123
00:08:18,260 --> 00:08:19,400
 And you're an underdog.

124
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,080
 I mean, this is as big as Alabama's been an underdog in the DeBoer era.

125
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:24,880
 I think you call the game differently.

126
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,380
 We're in 20 years for the program.

127
00:08:27,300 --> 00:08:27,700
 Sure.

128
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:29,280
 I mean, you call the game differently.

129
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:36,060
 I mean, when you're Thompson High School and you're facing, I don't know, Gordo High School,

130
00:08:36,580 --> 00:08:41,380
 I think both of those coordinators in trying to win the game are going to call it much differently.

131
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:49,340
 So I think what I'm saying is I can see Alabama taking more chances because you're the underdog.

132
00:08:49,500 --> 00:08:56,800
 But at the same time, I think both Grubb and Womack have a little more confidence in their guys than maybe some of the fans do.

133
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:05,420
 And I think now that they're getting their guys back, what I'm hoping to see is a great balance of, hey, we got to take some chances here.

134
00:09:05,500 --> 00:09:06,380
 We're an underdog.

135
00:09:06,380 --> 00:09:09,300
 But at the same time, I believe in my guys.

136
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,860
 And I'm not asking my guys to be superheroes.

137
00:09:12,340 --> 00:09:19,860
 I'm just asking them to play their game and play, you know, play mistake-free, but play fast and play hard.

138
00:09:20,180 --> 00:09:26,380
 I think coming up with a balance of aggressive play calling because you're an underdog and trusting your guys.

139
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,400
 That's what you need to see from both Ryan Grubb and Kane Womack tomorrow.

140
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,160
 Jimmy, these games are always won in the line of scrimmage.

141
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,860
 Can Alabama match the physicality?

142
00:09:36,940 --> 00:09:40,700
 And we talked about the 34 sacks by LSU.

143
00:09:40,700 --> 00:09:47,700
 One of the biggest matchups, obviously, is going to be Jackson Lloyd against Prince Will U, Jordan Ross.

144
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,300
 Prince Will U's got eight and a half sacks.

145
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,140
 Jordan Ross has got five.

146
00:09:52,660 --> 00:09:55,260
 Now, certainly running the ball is going to help.

147
00:09:55,660 --> 00:09:58,980
 Putting a tight end to chip some of these guys would help.

148
00:09:59,340 --> 00:10:05,860
 Jimmy, your thoughts on what Alabama can do to help that offensive line with a very good defensive front?

149
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,480
 It will literally decide the game, Brett.

150
00:10:08,700 --> 00:10:10,900
 I mean, it will literally decide the game.

151
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:18,620
 This is why the Alabama score and why the 60 minutes in Knoxville was uncomfortable.

152
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,620
 Tennessee's really good at getting after the quarterback.

153
00:10:21,620 --> 00:10:26,280
 A banged-up offensive line just couldn't get it done.

154
00:10:26,700 --> 00:10:31,200
 But you have to also remember, fans, that it's not just on the offensive line.

155
00:10:31,340 --> 00:10:34,200
 A lot of it is pre-snap work done by Keelan.

156
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:39,440
 Keelan has to understand pre-snap where the pressure's coming from, where he's likely to have problems.

157
00:10:39,940 --> 00:10:41,940
 The tight end group and the running backs.

158
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:48,580
 I think even though Alabama could use some explosiveness from Treshaun Brown and E.J. Crowell,

159
00:10:48,580 --> 00:10:54,740
 I think it's a big Daniel Hill game down there in Baton Rouge because he's the guy that can best protect Keelan Russell.

160
00:10:55,340 --> 00:11:02,660
 And if you want some explosive pass plays, it takes a hot second for those explosive pass plays to develop.

161
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:10,660
 And I think Daniel Hill can be the difference in giving Keelan the half second he needs to wait on his receiver to break open down the field.

162
00:11:10,660 --> 00:11:20,000
 So I think protecting Keelan is how the game will be decided because I wouldn't say that LSU has really any big-time talent weaknesses.

163
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:25,140
 But what LSU has, guys, is that pass rush.

164
00:11:25,620 --> 00:11:33,540
 If Keelan can have some level of protection and get balls off down the field, I do think the LSU secondary can be had.

165
00:11:33,780 --> 00:11:35,700
 They've given up some pass plays.

166
00:11:36,260 --> 00:11:46,740
 Their secondary personnel is good, but it's not as good as that front with Princewell, Umami Allen, and Jordan Ross, and Deuce Gerald,

167
00:11:46,980 --> 00:11:52,700
 who's probably the second-best interior tackle Alabama's faced all year, and he's a true freshman.

168
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:54,160
 That kid's great.

169
00:11:56,140 --> 00:11:58,540
 That front's going to cause Alabama some problems.

170
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:06,460
 If they could just give Keelan a little bit of time, I do think Rico Scott, Lottie Brooks, and Ryan Coleman-Williams can all make big plays.

171
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:11,440
 And all it takes is one huge play apiece from those three guys.

172
00:12:12,220 --> 00:12:16,340
 And you've scored in the 20s, and that's going to give you a chance.

173
00:12:16,620 --> 00:12:18,700
 So Alabama needs explosive plays.

174
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:25,280
 That's only going to come from protecting Keelan, and that's why I think Daniel Hill probably plays a lot of snaps tomorrow at running back.

175
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:27,300
 Amen, Jimmy Stein.

176
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:36,300
 Jimmy, let's talk about the things that don't get talked enough about, and that could be the intangibles, officiating, turnovers, and the kicking game.

177
00:12:36,380 --> 00:12:40,500
 Everything was rocking and rolling until the last game as far as some of the special teams.

178
00:12:40,980 --> 00:12:45,460
 Your thoughts about some things we don't talk a whole lot about on Friday, but we do on Monday.

179
00:12:46,300 --> 00:12:49,100
 Well, I think breaks even out.

180
00:12:49,340 --> 00:12:52,680
 I really believe that there's no anointed teams.

181
00:12:53,500 --> 00:12:54,640
 Breaks just even out.

182
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,220
 You get breaks in some games.

183
00:12:56,560 --> 00:12:57,900
 Breaks go against you and others.

184
00:12:58,140 --> 00:13:01,020
 Against Georgia, there were four balls on the ground.

185
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:02,740
 Georgia recovered all four.

186
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,560
 There were four controversial officiating calls.

187
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,820
 They all went Georgia's way.

188
00:13:07,860 --> 00:13:11,740
 You could argue Alabama was 0 for 8 in breaks against Georgia.

189
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:18,560
 One of the reasons that I'm one of the few predicting an Alabama win is Alabama's due to get some breaks.

190
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:19,860
 Maybe that's the bounce.

191
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:21,600
 Maybe that's the bounce of a ball.

192
00:13:22,020 --> 00:13:27,080
 Maybe it's the officials screwing it up again, and this time LSU's on the short end of the stick.

193
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,620
 Those things could happen, but you can also make some of your breaks.

194
00:13:31,620 --> 00:13:38,780
 And as much as Alabama's got a mismatch in terms of dealing with the LSU pass rush, here's where LSU's at a bit of a disadvantage.

195
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,300
 Alabama leads the league in takeaways.

196
00:13:42,020 --> 00:13:51,580
 And while Sam Levitt has performed better recently, how often do we see close games decided by takeaways being plus in the giveaway takeaway?

197
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:56,340
 I think that's where Alabama's got an advantage over LSU, and that could decide the game.

198
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:58,700
 I agree with you entirely.

199
00:13:58,980 --> 00:14:02,240
 Alabama's tied for 11th nationally with plus 7.

200
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,100
 LSU's tied for 88th with minus 2.

201
00:14:06,300 --> 00:14:15,260
 And something else, Jimmy, as far as an intangible, Lane Kiffin has a problem of outsmarting himself, sometimes against Alabama.

202
00:14:15,260 --> 00:14:17,360
 That's one of the reasons why he's 0-5.

203
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,640
 And I know a lot of that was against Nick Saban.

204
00:14:22,020 --> 00:14:31,640
 Jimmy, your prediction for the game, and where can we get on line to get you and Luke and Travis with the best podcast on the planet?

205
00:14:32,660 --> 00:14:34,880
 I think 27-24 Alabama.

206
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:39,500
 That sounds like Connor Taltese the hero, and maybe he will literally be a hero at the end.

207
00:14:39,500 --> 00:14:52,060
 But I really think Alabama 27-24 to me is because Alabama makes more explosive plays on offense and makes more plays on defense down the field with the takeaways.

208
00:14:52,260 --> 00:15:02,280
 Alabama's takeaways on the part of their secondary and their explosive plays from Keelan to those three wide receivers are the difference that Alabama wins 27-24.

209
00:15:02,940 --> 00:15:15,900
 And if and when I'm wrong, you can tune in to Locked on Bama on YouTube all next week and leave nasty comments for me and everyone's hopes up.

210
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:20,380
 Locked on Bama on YouTube or wherever you get your audio podcasts.

211
00:15:20,740 --> 00:15:26,700
 And I'm on twice a week with Travis Reier on Covered Crimson on YouTube or wherever you get your audio podcasts.

212
00:15:27,100 --> 00:15:28,840
 Speaking of which, I know you can't wait.

213
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,600
 Hopefully, it'll serve up some crow pie to Mr. Travis and Mr. Luke on Monday.

214
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:33,760
 Maybe even Saturday night.

215
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,480
 Jimmy, enjoy the game, and thanks so much for your time today.

216
00:15:37,220 --> 00:15:38,000
 Hey, appreciate it, guys.

217
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:38,700
 Thank you, Jimmy.

218
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,260

219
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,180

 Justin Ferguson on deck.

221
00:15:44,500 --> 00:15:44,980
 Stay with us.

222
00:15:49,260 --> 00:15:53,480
 I've always felt that sports imitate life, and in both arenas, everyone loves a good comeback story.

223
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:57,580
 I sold my dynasty almost three years ago and have missed coming to the ballpark every day since.

224
00:15:58,020 --> 00:16:02,380
 Once my old team dispersed and our fan base hinted about wanting to come back, we built a new stadium.

225
00:16:02,500 --> 00:16:06,320
 Made some calls to our old players and signed some new ones off of waivers and trades.

226
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:12,220
 Midtown Meat House now has the finest team of butchers, caterers, and sandwich makers in the league, and we're playing to win.

227
00:16:12,660 --> 00:16:19,840
 Our new location is 123 Magnolia Street in Florence, but our lineup with the very best steaks, chops, burgers, and sandwiches has remained the same.

228
00:16:20,260 --> 00:16:21,200
 Don't call it a comeback.

229
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:22,560
 We'll be here for years.

230
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:23,920

 Against the craptastic Colts, Dallas's Ryan Flournoy could flourish.

233
00:16:32,460 --> 00:16:39,160
 India's a lousy number 21 in drop-back EBAD this year, giving up 324 yards to slot receivers.

234
00:16:39,660 --> 00:16:46,200
 Give me Flournoy 40-plus yards at plus 111, which he's reached in three of his last four games.

 I'm Roger Hoover.

 On Thursday's Crimson Drive, we were joined by Alabama football tight end, Josh Ford.

279
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,120
 Just how much is your group enjoying being a huge part of this offense?

280
00:19:58,400 --> 00:19:58,940
 Yeah, man.

281
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:00,420
 Just so talented.

282
00:20:00,420 --> 00:20:07,960
 The guys are, I feel like we're such a huge part of this offense, you know, and like, I feel like we're a huge part of the motor.

283
00:20:08,380 --> 00:20:11,400
 I feel like we're one of the biggest cylinders, you know, in the team.

284
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:19,420
 You know, once we're playing good, the whole offense is playing good, you know, and so that's a lot of pressure on us to execute our plays.

285
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:29,640
 And that's what we're really, we're in our bye weekend right now, so we need to take advantage of, you know, and just get back to our standard of working on our details and technique.

286
00:20:30,360 --> 00:20:30,720
 Yeah.

287
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:32,120

00:21:59,360 --> 00:22:00,640
 Man, we're doing all right, Justin.

313
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:08,180
 November, first curtain on the month of November, but before we take a sneak peek ahead of the first game this month,

314
00:22:08,580 --> 00:22:13,000
 let's take a little peek in the rearview mirror at the October slate of dates for the Auburn Tigers.

315
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:20,960
 When's the last time that this team and this fan base has been that high and that low within a two- or three-week span, Justin?

316
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:31,360
 It's been a while, you know, you just went through, I think, the toughest, you know, month of the season that anybody's had in college football this year.

317
00:22:31,740 --> 00:22:46,640
 It's kind of funny, if you look, if all four of the teams Auburn just played, Tennessee, Georgia, LSU, and Ole Miss, if they all finish ranked, this will be the first time Auburn has faced four straight ranked teams in a season since 1999.

318
00:22:47,300 --> 00:22:52,760
 So, it's like you had gone through a pretty big gauntlet, and so you got that big win against Georgia.

319
00:22:52,980 --> 00:22:58,500
 You were able to do with a lot of the things that you felt like you needed to do moving forward when you are the underdog.

320
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,360
 I think in both of these games against Ole Miss and LSU, you just let it get away from you.

321
00:23:02,620 --> 00:23:10,140
 If you don't hit your opportunities as an underdog, if you let them go by the wayside, it can kind of unravel on you pretty quickly, and that's definitely what happened these last two weeks.

322
00:23:10,300 --> 00:23:14,920
 So, took some of the shine off of that Georgia win, but the good news for Auburn is you got an opportunity.

323
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:22,620
 You're going to be favored tomorrow against Arkansas, and you'll have a good chance to do the same thing next week against Mississippi State if you take care of business tomorrow.

324
00:23:22,780 --> 00:23:25,660
 So, an opportunity to turn things around pretty quickly here in November.

325
00:23:25,940 --> 00:23:28,240
 I agree with you, and I said this all summer.

326
00:23:28,340 --> 00:23:35,760
 I thought Auburn had the toughest schedule in the country in October, and they were able to steal one game from Georgia.

327
00:23:36,620 --> 00:23:42,020
 Arkansas, obviously, is not to the level of the four teams that Auburn played in October.

328
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:46,820
 They can still make some – K.J. Jackson, their quarterback, can make some plays.

329
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:53,320
 I saw the replay of the Missouri game, a little bit of it earlier in the week, and he did make some plays.

330
00:23:54,140 --> 00:23:56,300
 Their rush defense is bad.

331
00:23:56,420 --> 00:23:57,920
 They don't run the ball very well.

332
00:23:58,040 --> 00:23:59,320
 They don't get to the quarterback.

333
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:03,900
 They don't do a lot of things well, but this is a get-right game for Auburn.

334
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,060
 I've asked you about the offensive line.

335
00:24:06,220 --> 00:24:09,160
 I think every week this season, there were mass changes.

336
00:24:09,340 --> 00:24:12,660
 Jacoby Ward started his first career game.

337
00:24:12,820 --> 00:24:14,940
 Rameel moved from right to left.

338
00:24:15,460 --> 00:24:16,940
 Zaire from left guard to right.

339
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,640
 Talcom McManus from right guard to left guard.

340
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:28,020
 Will they start that same unit and just hope to build some continuity and rhythm?

341
00:24:29,340 --> 00:24:32,040
 Yeah, I think that's probably going to be the plan on Saturday.

342
00:24:32,300 --> 00:24:37,980
 I think against Ole Miss, you had some struggles on the offensive line, but it wasn't anything kind of crazy.

343
00:24:38,180 --> 00:24:40,260
 It wasn't like they got a lot worse there.

344
00:24:40,860 --> 00:24:47,100
 Those four guys that you just mentioned there, four of the five guys on the offensive line, they all could come back next season.

345
00:24:47,620 --> 00:24:54,720
 I think it's really big for Auburn here in the month of November to figure out, okay, how many of these guys can we trust?

346
00:24:54,820 --> 00:24:57,420
 How many of these guys need to be part of our plan next year?

347
00:24:57,500 --> 00:25:04,880
 How many of these guys do we think that we need to keep around and see if they can win starting jobs in 2027?

348
00:25:05,060 --> 00:25:07,500
 I think that's a big priority for Auburn.

349
00:25:07,660 --> 00:25:11,020
 So you get this late in the year, you've put in some younger guys into the fold.

350
00:25:11,360 --> 00:25:15,980
 I don't think you go away from that, and I think you stick with it, and you hope that, hey, you're about to play Arkansas,

351
00:25:16,220 --> 00:25:18,320
 a team that's not been very good at the line of scrimmage this season.

352
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,620
 Maybe you can go out there and get some confidence back for that group.

353
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:27,060
 Justin Ferguson, the Auburn Observer, Justin, it's always fun to see the MASH report.

354
00:25:27,180 --> 00:25:33,460
 How healthy is Auburn and, conversely, as far as Arkansas, do they have any key folks missing?

355
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:39,700
 I mean, Arkansas's got a few guys, but they're not terribly banged up.

356
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,380
 I will say, I think Auburn's the healthiest team in the SEC right now.

357
00:25:42,900 --> 00:25:43,800
 He may be right.

358
00:25:44,120 --> 00:25:51,980
 Yeah, they don't have really any big, okay, you know they're for sure out for an extended period of time guys right now.

359
00:25:51,980 --> 00:25:56,920
 They had some guys get banged up last week during the game, but they've been able to practice this week.

360
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,040
 Jeremiah Coger didn't play a wide receiver.

361
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,580
 He's expected to give it a go tomorrow.

362
00:26:01,820 --> 00:26:05,960
 Same thing for Sylvester Smith-Reed, defensive back, Andre Jordan Jr.

363
00:26:06,500 --> 00:26:11,380
 So Auburn had some guys get banged up, but it wasn't anything serious coming out of that Ole Miss game.

364
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:16,380
 Those guys were at practice this week, and feeling pretty good about them on the availability report.

365
00:26:16,380 --> 00:26:22,140
 Got some questionable and some probable designations, but nothing super serious heading into the game on Saturday.

366
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:28,960
 Ole Miss had a really incredible performance offensively, particularly when they got rolling in the second half.

367
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,500
 They converted 13 of 16 third downs.

368
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:34,420
 That's nearly unheard of.

369
00:26:34,820 --> 00:26:37,080
 They ran for 224 yards.

370
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,400
 Auburn only ran for 63.

371
00:26:39,900 --> 00:26:42,420
 I don't see that happening against Arkansas.

372
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,720
 Yeah, it better not happen against Arkansas, you know, for sure.

373
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:50,080
 Yeah, this Arkansas team, like you said earlier, doesn't run the ball very well.

374
00:26:50,140 --> 00:26:51,380
 I hadn't been able to stop and run well.

375
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,300
 I think that's going to be tilted a little bit more in their favor.

376
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:58,440
 Ole Miss had not been great against the run this season, but you've got to remember, like, a few weeks ago,

377
00:26:58,540 --> 00:27:00,340
 they shut down Missouri's running game.

378
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,220
 Missouri's got a really, really good running game.

379
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,320
 So, they had that kind of feeling about them.

380
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,340
 We haven't seen that from Arkansas this year.

381
00:27:06,940 --> 00:27:09,980
 You know, in every game they've played against the Power Conference opponents this year,

382
00:27:10,020 --> 00:27:12,220
 they've given up at least four yards per carry.

383
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,560
 Teams like Texas A&M, Missouri have been able to run really, really, Utah.

384
00:27:15,820 --> 00:27:17,380
 We're able to run really, really well on them.

385
00:27:18,120 --> 00:27:20,420
 So, yeah, for Auburn, it's got to be a bounce-back game here.

386
00:27:20,820 --> 00:27:22,380
 You know, KJ Jackson is a good playmaker.

387
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,060
 He's going to be excited to be playing, you know, right down the road.

388
00:27:25,100 --> 00:27:25,660
 He's from Montgomery.

389
00:27:26,360 --> 00:27:28,360
 You know, he's going to be excited to play in that game.

390
00:27:28,580 --> 00:27:30,680
 I think he's gotten better as the season's gone on.

391
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:31,800
 They've kind of grown up with him.

392
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,060
 But, you know, for Auburn's defense, it's just, hey,

393
00:27:35,660 --> 00:27:39,220
 this is going to be more like it was when they played Vanderbilt, you know,

394
00:27:39,220 --> 00:27:41,880
 the last time they were favored in a game where they just, you know,

395
00:27:42,120 --> 00:27:44,980
 wasn't perfect, but they made some stops and they got to, you know,

396
00:27:44,980 --> 00:27:48,280
 kind of strengthen some things together against a team that, you know,

397
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:49,300
 wasn't as great.

398
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:54,400
 You know, the last three weeks, Auburn played Georgia, LSU, and Ole Miss.

399
00:27:54,820 --> 00:27:59,080
 Right now, in SP Plus, they are three of the top six offenses in the country.

400
00:27:59,260 --> 00:28:03,180
 So, it's just like you had as big of a test as you could have possibly gotten

401
00:28:03,180 --> 00:28:05,820
 these last few weeks, and your defense went through it.

402
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,860
 Arkansas, towards the bottom of power conference teams and offense this season,

403
00:28:09,940 --> 00:28:11,560
 you need to go out there and take care of business.

404
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:17,000
 So, Justin, do you dare give us the final score for tomorrow's game?

405
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,140
 I don't know if I would give you a score for it.

406
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,260
 I will say that Auburn's favored by 10.

407
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:23,860
 I feel like that makes sense.

408
00:28:24,460 --> 00:28:26,420
 You know, I feel like that's at home.

409
00:28:26,540 --> 00:28:27,400
 That's kind of where they went.

410
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:29,800
 I like Auburn by two scores in this game.

411
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,940
 I don't know if they're going to go in there and just kind of rear back and blow them out.

412
00:28:34,060 --> 00:28:35,520
 I don't know if it's going to feel like one of those.

413
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,340
 You know, Gus Malzahn was always really good at just blowing the doors off of Arkansas

414
00:28:39,340 --> 00:28:41,260
 every time he had an opportunity.

415
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:43,680
 I don't know if that's the case, but I will say this.

416
00:28:44,260 --> 00:28:50,000
 So, a few years ago, Auburn was in kind of a similar situation in year one under Hugh Freeze.

417
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:54,140
 They went to Arkansas, an Arkansas team that was struggling, and blew them out.

418
00:28:55,140 --> 00:29:00,660
 You know, I think, you know, in this instance here, there is an opportunity at home for Auburn

419
00:29:00,660 --> 00:29:05,500
 to, if they can click on offense and they can get some momentum rolling, get off to a good start,

420
00:29:05,940 --> 00:29:07,960
 I'll be very interested to see how Arkansas handles that

421
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,260
 because it's kind of turning into a lost season for them.

422
00:29:10,660 --> 00:29:12,180
 Auburn's still got a lot to play for at this point.

423
00:29:12,380 --> 00:29:14,040
 You know, they win one of these next two games.

424
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,080
 They're probably going to make a bowl game because they still have to play Sanford.

425
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,820
 They win two out of their last three SEC games.

426
00:29:20,220 --> 00:29:23,180
 You're talking about a guaranteed winning season for the first time since 2020.

427
00:29:23,420 --> 00:29:25,860
 So, got a lot to play for at this point.

428
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,980
 So, I think if Auburn gets off to a good start and kind of cleans up some things on both sides of the ball,

429
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,880
 they could be in a really good position to, you know, go out there and get a good win tomorrow

430
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:37,580
 and kind of hopefully move past what October was for them

431
00:29:37,580 --> 00:29:40,640
 and set forth with some momentum in November.

432
00:29:41,020 --> 00:29:42,160
 I think that's what happens.

433
00:29:42,260 --> 00:29:46,680
 I think they could run the ball every play and win the game, quite frankly.

434
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:49,840
 But, you know, we'll see how that goes.

435
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,560
 Nothing going on this week, young man.

436
00:29:53,620 --> 00:29:54,620
 Basketball started.

437
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,180
 I think you've got baseball this afternoon.

438
00:29:58,060 --> 00:30:02,480
 What else is going on and where can we get online and get the 6 a.m. emails,

439
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:07,720
 the mailbag on Fridays, the podcast, and all the good stuff?

440
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:09,440
 Yeah, AuburnObserver.com.

441
00:30:09,500 --> 00:30:15,420
 We've got a ton of stuff going on right now covering Auburn football preview in this Arkansas game coming up.

442
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:20,400
 A lot of basketball as well from Auburn's pretty big first one against Southeastern Louisiana.

443
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:24,260
 We'll have coverage all this weekend from the game in Jordan-Hare.

444
00:30:24,460 --> 00:30:25,920
 We'll have a ton of stuff from that.

445
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:30,620
 And we'll roll right in because, like you said, it doesn't slow down.

446
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,780
 Monday night they play a pretty good App State team in basketball right after this.

447
00:30:35,020 --> 00:30:38,300
 So, you know, it's a lot of stuff going on at the Observer right now.

448
00:30:38,380 --> 00:30:40,500
 It's the busiest time of year, so it's a good time to jump on board

449
00:30:40,500 --> 00:30:43,160
 because we've got it all covered for Auburn football and men's basketball.

450
00:30:43,300 --> 00:30:44,760
 Go to AuburnObserver.com and sign up there.

451
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,560
 Football, basketball, and Jack Frost, it's that time of the year.

452
00:30:48,660 --> 00:30:51,200
 Justin, have a great weekend, and thanks so much for your time today.

453
00:30:51,820 --> 00:30:52,540
 Yeah, appreciate you all.

454
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:52,660
 Thank you.

455
00:30:52,660 --> 00:30:53,120
 Thank you, buddy.

456
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,300
 Justin Ferguson, the Auburn Observer here.

457
00:30:56,300 --> 00:31:00,320
 Speaking of Georgia, let's check in with the big dog, Mr. Bill, next.

458
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:00,860
 Stay with us.

459
00:31:05,020 --> 00:31:08,400
 Well, the days are getting cooler, and the smell of fall is in the air.

460
00:31:08,700 --> 00:31:11,040
 What a perfect time to go explore the great outdoors.

461
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,540
 And Longshore Cycle Center has what you need.

462
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:17,620
 Longshore Cycle also has great deals on new CF Moto Highlands

463
00:31:17,620 --> 00:31:20,040
 with their fully enclosed cabs with heat and air

464
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,140

 Mids basketball action last night.

524
00:34:50,220 --> 00:34:52,300

525
00:34:52,300 --> 00:34:59,440

528
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:05,460
 Saints looking for the first home victory.

529
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:06,600
 The Saints are 2-5.

530
00:35:06,940 --> 00:35:08,260
 Browns are 5-3.

531
00:35:08,740 --> 00:35:12,140

532
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,000

 Pregame at 6 o'clock, kickoff at 7.

536
00:35:22,420 --> 00:35:27,820
 I'm John Thayer with the Sports Flash presented by Progressive on 93.9 The Score.

537
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:33,680
 The dirt, the hassle, the hustles.

538
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:35,600
 It was all in a day's work.

539
00:35:35,900 --> 00:35:37,680
 And now it's all on your shirt.

540
00:35:38,220 --> 00:35:40,240
 Don't give your laundry a second thought.

541
00:35:40,620 --> 00:35:42,000
 Let Cintas handle it.

542
00:35:42,380 --> 00:35:45,820

547
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,440
 Amy Cox did something smart.

548
00:36:02,860 --> 00:36:05,660
 She saved hundreds on auto insurance switching to Progressive.

549
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:10,020
 And with that money, she decided to treat herself to an anti-aging red light mask.

550
00:36:10,240 --> 00:36:12,500
 Will she look like a horror movie villain every night?

551
00:36:12,940 --> 00:36:13,420
 Yes.

552
00:36:13,940 --> 00:36:16,120
 Will her boyfriend, Kevin, be scarred for life?

553
00:36:16,540 --> 00:36:17,960
 That's certainly a risk.

554
00:36:18,540 --> 00:36:19,620
 But it's Amy's savings.

555
00:36:19,820 --> 00:36:23,440
 And if she's willing to risk her relationship for smooth, wrinkle-free skin,

556
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:24,900
 well, bye-bye, Kevin.

557
00:36:25,300 --> 00:36:27,300
 Switch and see if you can save with Progressive.

558
00:36:27,420 --> 00:36:28,220
 And treat yourself.

559
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:30,140
 Progressive Casualty Insurance Company and affiliates.

560
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:34,180

564
00:36:42,820 --> 00:36:47,600

566
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:52,880
 He is the big dog in the Peachtree State, Bill Shanks,

00:37:02,720 --> 00:37:03,460
 Bill, welcome in.

571
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:04,020
 How are you?

572
00:37:04,540 --> 00:37:05,180
 I'm good.

573
00:37:05,380 --> 00:37:05,820
 How are y'all?

574
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:06,240
 Hey, Bill.

575
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:07,280
 Man, we're doing all right.

576
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:10,040
 Bill, we've obviously been doing this a long time.

577
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:16,740
 But when's the last time you've seen a menu this juicy from one end of the country to the other?

578
00:37:16,820 --> 00:37:19,960
 Everywhere you look, it's big boy football this weekend.

579
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:21,200
 Pretty good.

580
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:21,700
 Pretty good.

581
00:37:21,780 --> 00:37:22,520
 Pretty good schedule.

582
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:27,040
 And my Bulldogs against your Rebels, Harold Buck.

583
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,420
 So you want me money like your co-host does.

584
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:32,440
 You know what?

585
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:34,160
 I've been away from there so long, Bill.

586
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,160
 It's one thing to see them where they are.

587
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,880
 Truly, it's amazing to see where they are, given how long it's taken to get there.

588
00:37:40,980 --> 00:37:42,740
 But let's start with that game.

589
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:44,960
 Ole Miss and Georgia.

590
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:48,080
 It is a top-ten matchup, one of several across the country.

591
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:49,540
 Where do you start breaking it down?

592
00:37:52,100 --> 00:37:54,760
 Georgia needs to contain Trinidad Chamlis.

593
00:37:54,980 --> 00:37:57,760
 They need to win the running game battle.

594
00:37:58,860 --> 00:38:09,200
 Every week when I do my notes, the most important stat right after the score is who outrushes whom.

595
00:38:09,740 --> 00:38:12,920
 That's key for me and always has been.

596
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:19,940
 And I think it is a very good part of a team's chance for a victory if they can outrush the opponent.

597
00:38:20,100 --> 00:38:22,800
 So that's what I'm hoping is that the key one, Lacey, out.

598
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:23,620
 And I'll take it.

599
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:26,320
 I think Georgia's got people out, too.

600
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:30,940
 So, you know, I think you have to take advantage of that.

601
00:38:30,980 --> 00:38:32,200
 Try to win the running game battle.

602
00:38:32,720 --> 00:38:36,140
 You need your quarterback, Hunter Stockton, to play better than their quarterback.

603
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:37,160
 You're going to have that Chamlis.

604
00:38:37,460 --> 00:38:39,020
 You're going to have pressure on Chamlis.

605
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:49,460
 One thing I think people need to realize, January 2nd, the day after the game on January 1st, all the Georgia fans are like, man, if Gabe Harris has been in there.

606
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,400
 Gabe Harris is a pass rusher outside.

607
00:38:54,020 --> 00:39:05,460
 And there's no question you have to wonder about, especially those two plays where Trinidad was just running all over the place, untouched, or touched, but not brought down, kind of like what happened in the Auburn game.

608
00:39:05,940 --> 00:39:07,100
 This was not running plays.

609
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:10,760
 This was scrambling and getting away from people and then making a completion.

610
00:39:11,540 --> 00:39:13,540
 We wondered if Gabe Harris would have made a difference.

611
00:39:13,660 --> 00:39:14,880
 Well, Gabe Harris is back.

612
00:39:16,260 --> 00:39:20,380
 Another player who was not in that game on January 1st, Jordan Hall, is back.

613
00:39:20,780 --> 00:39:23,500
 I think he's an upgrade over who they had there before.

614
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,660
 I think Chris Cole has gone to another level.

615
00:39:27,300 --> 00:39:36,460
 He's an All-American candidate and a first-round draft pick candidate, as are both Casey Bolton and Ellis Robinson in the secondary.

616
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,580
 They're different players than they were back on January 1st.

617
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:44,340
 So I think that's what gives me hope that they'll be able to keep Chamlis from getting out of control.

618
00:39:44,740 --> 00:39:46,140
 That's what I was going to ask you.

619
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:47,920
 We talked about this a little bit yesterday.

620
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:54,380
 Texas did a good job, or better than most, of keeping Chamlis in the pocket.

621
00:39:54,540 --> 00:39:58,360
 Now, he got out a couple of times, and he will against Georgia.

622
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:06,640
 But if he can bottle up, so to speak, Chamlis a little bit in that pocket and slow down the running game,

623
00:40:06,700 --> 00:40:09,180
 then Georgia's got a much better chance to win the game.

624
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:14,420
 Well, containing Trinidad is not easy.

625
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:16,320
 He's a very good player.

626
00:40:16,580 --> 00:40:18,460
 He's just a really good player.

627
00:40:18,540 --> 00:40:20,220
 I'm not convinced he's an NFL player.

628
00:40:20,460 --> 00:40:26,200
 I mean, my bar for NFL quarterbacks is pretty high, and h***, I don't know if there's one out there this year.

629
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:31,060
 I don't see enough of the best to make a kid, but I mean, definitely Arch isn't ready.

630
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,620
 Dante Moore's not ready before his injury.

631
00:40:33,620 --> 00:40:41,520
 I mean, the Mensa kid can prove a lot tomorrow without his number one wide receiver and does well.

632
00:40:41,740 --> 00:40:48,200
 But Trinidad's very good, and you have to do different things to try to stop him and contain him

633
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:49,880
 and just not let him get out of control.

634
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:52,200
 And so that's what Georgia's task is going to be.

635
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:56,080
 And look, Kirby had two games against him last year.

636
00:40:56,080 --> 00:41:02,620
 The running numbers for Trinidad last year were nine for 42 in the game in Athens in October,

637
00:41:02,820 --> 00:41:06,360
 and then four for 14 in New Orleans in the Sugar Bowl.

638
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:13,040
 Again, this wasn't like it was with Byron Brown where it was design run plays where he just scooted through.

639
00:41:13,420 --> 00:41:18,220
 This was scrambling and getting away from the defender and then being able to throw the ball.

640
00:41:18,300 --> 00:41:22,140
 There was a huge completion of Lacey that was a big, impactful thing.

641
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:24,600
 So they've got to not let that happen.

642
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:27,120
 And if they contain that, they're going to have a good chance of winning.

643
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,700
 I think they're going to win by double digits.

644
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:31,480
 I feel very good about this.

645
00:41:31,980 --> 00:41:33,360
 And I may be dead wrong.

646
00:41:33,540 --> 00:41:34,580
 I rarely am.

647
00:41:35,700 --> 00:41:40,660
 The only time that I was wrong was when I thought I was wrong, and that was incorrect.

648
00:41:40,980 --> 00:41:42,400
 So, I mean, I'm really wrong.

649
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,680
 And so, you know, I feel good about it.

650
00:41:45,720 --> 00:41:47,400
 I really feel good about Georgia's chances.

651
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:52,600
 I think they rebounded nicely after the loss to Auburn by beating Florida,

652
00:41:52,780 --> 00:41:54,520
 and the defense looks really good.

653
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:55,220
 And you know what?

654
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:56,600
 Defense wins championships.

655
00:41:56,840 --> 00:42:00,140
 And they may win in Oxford tomorrow at 3.30 or 7.30, rather.

656
00:42:00,720 --> 00:42:02,120
 I agree with you about Chambliss.

657
00:42:02,240 --> 00:42:06,600
 I think he is, to me, he's kind of like a Diego Pavia, fantastic college quarterback,

658
00:42:06,740 --> 00:42:09,140
 but a little too short to make it at the next level.

659
00:42:09,240 --> 00:42:10,620
 We'll let time take care of that.

660
00:42:10,700 --> 00:42:14,400
 But, Bill, your thoughts just about something that every team Dred is talking about,

661
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:15,740
 and that's the T.O., the turnovers.

662
00:42:16,340 --> 00:42:17,500
 Sometimes they work for you.

663
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:19,360
 Sometimes they work against you.

664
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:24,240
 Gunner, as he sat here and watched the film, says, that's what I was doing wrong,

665
00:42:24,620 --> 00:42:25,660
 and here's how I'm going to fix it.

666
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:31,560
 Well, he did fix it against Florida, and they caused turnovers to the Gators.

667
00:42:31,860 --> 00:42:37,700
 I mean, no matter where you are, I mean, half with Alabama, half with the other side with Georgia and Auburn,

668
00:42:38,260 --> 00:42:46,260
 the turnover battle is like, okay, what did I just say about who wins the rushing battle every game is important to me.

669
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:47,960
 Well, the turnover battle is right there, too.

670
00:42:48,140 --> 00:42:52,620
 I mean, how many teams are going to have four turnovers and the other team only has one and still wins?

671
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:53,280
 Well, not many.

672
00:42:53,980 --> 00:42:59,040
 I mean, that's hard to overcome because you're just giving the ball to people.

673
00:42:59,380 --> 00:43:01,600
 And, you know, it's kind of like an error in baseball.

674
00:43:01,940 --> 00:43:07,440
 I've always said that they need to have two stats when it comes to errors in baseball.

675
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:09,880
 They need error and almost earned error.

676
00:43:10,100 --> 00:43:16,460
 But if the error turns into a run, then that makes it even more of a problem, right?

677
00:43:16,980 --> 00:43:22,820
 And, of course, that's pitcher dependent because after the fielder gives up the error,

678
00:43:22,980 --> 00:43:25,120
 then the pitcher has to do his job to get out of the trouble.

679
00:43:25,380 --> 00:43:30,840
 But still, errors can lead to longer innings, can lead to longer pitch counts, et cetera.

680
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:35,520
 But sometimes errors aren't big of a problem if they don't lead to a run.

681
00:43:35,860 --> 00:43:40,800
 Well, if a turnover, you know, leads to them turning around and going three and out.

682
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:44,440
 Now, if the turnover happens on your opponent's four-yard line, you're in trouble, right?

683
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:49,080
 I mean, so there are different kind of turnovers, but still, you've got to take advantage of the turnovers.

684
00:43:49,240 --> 00:43:53,680
 Any good team does, and that's the mark of a great team to take advantage of the turnovers.

685
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:56,360
 Call them and then you can't just call them.

686
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:57,800
 You've got to take advantage of them.

687
00:43:57,900 --> 00:44:02,740
 You've got to – it's like I've said many occasions, and Albert did this.

688
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:09,480
 If you're going to beat a team like Georgia, like Alabama, like the teams that are at the top of the list,

689
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:13,360
 doing the turnovers is only part of it.

690
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:15,420
 You've got to take advantage.

691
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:19,860
 You get four turnovers, and if you score three points, one field goal out of the fourth possession,

692
00:44:20,020 --> 00:44:21,380
 you get it, it don't mean a d*** thing.

693
00:44:21,380 --> 00:44:27,920
 But if you get four turnovers and you score 17 points or two touchdowns, then you're talking.

694
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:31,360
 Harold alluded to it at the beginning of the segment.

695
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:34,520
 Incredible, incredible Saturday.

696
00:44:34,820 --> 00:44:42,200
 Obviously, we've talked a lot about Alabama and LSU, but Texas at Missouri, that's a tricky game for Texas.

697
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:45,640
 Kentucky at Tennessee, can they keep the chemistry?

698
00:44:45,860 --> 00:44:48,900
 They're plus 13 in turnovers.

699
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:52,180
 Can they slow down the Tennessee running game?

700
00:44:53,620 --> 00:44:56,340
 And then Texas A&M at South Carolina.

701
00:44:56,860 --> 00:44:58,300
 We talked about this yesterday.

702
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:00,780
 Beamers off the hot seat after winning three.

703
00:45:00,900 --> 00:45:02,260
 They should win four more.

704
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:07,200
 And then you alluded to the Miami-Notre Dame game, Oregon and Ohio State.

705
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:11,540
 Look, these two or three weekends come along for us.

706
00:45:11,540 --> 00:45:13,560
 We've been covering this for decades.

707
00:45:14,220 --> 00:45:23,620
 But you just salivate at a weekend like this because nearly every slot, early, afternoon, mid, you've got an intriguing game.

708
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:25,320
 Well, you do.

709
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:28,520
 And I think the Kentucky-Tennessee game is going to be very interesting.

710
00:45:28,900 --> 00:45:33,820
 I mean, I think that Tennessee's defense going up against Kentucky's offense is interesting.

711
00:45:34,060 --> 00:45:34,540
 It is.

712
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,400
 What's the quarterback situation at Tennessee like?

713
00:45:37,740 --> 00:45:40,880
 How big could that be, good or bad or ugly?

714
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:45,420
 Obviously, y'all's game with LSU is going to be interesting to see.

715
00:45:45,820 --> 00:45:51,520
 I think the biggest part of that game to me right now is the LSU quarterback.

716
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:54,100
 He's playing really, really good football right now.

717
00:45:54,960 --> 00:46:00,640
 And I think that's what you've got to worry about more than anything with LSU is how good he's playing.

718
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:02,940
 Yeah, there's some really good games.

719
00:46:03,020 --> 00:46:04,800
 There's no question it's going to be all day long.

720
00:46:04,940 --> 00:46:09,520
 I think South Carolina obviously has got to feel good about itself, and I understand that.

721
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:17,800
 But, you know, as I told you yesterday on our show, it's just good to see Shane so humble about everything with the way he's coaching and everything.

722
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:20,060
 But it's a great week.

723
00:46:20,140 --> 00:46:22,180
 It is what we love in college football.

724
00:46:22,940 --> 00:46:24,780
 And, you know, they go so quick, though.

725
00:46:24,860 --> 00:46:30,840
 You know, I was saying it's like, my gosh, you root for it to get here, and then when it gets here, you blame it.

726
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:32,760
 It's like, h***, we're two-thirds through the season.

727
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:39,960
 You know, you only have so many Saturdays like this in the whole year, and it's tough to see it go so fast.

728
00:46:40,100 --> 00:46:42,480
 But you've got to sit back, especially like me.

729
00:46:42,540 --> 00:46:43,580
 I'm not going to Ole Miss.

730
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:52,160
 I can just sit back and sit in a chair and watch the games from noon to midnight and enjoy the heck out of it, only if my team wins.

731
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:59,420
 Braves, I have had several people ask me, what are you hearing?

732
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:06,620
 Of course, free agency began this week, but, you know, this question is always here.

733
00:47:06,740 --> 00:47:10,160
 What are the Braves going to do about the starting pitching?

734
00:47:10,380 --> 00:47:17,500
 And I know we all want at least one veteran, durable starter, but you do have a lot of these guys coming back.

735
00:47:17,580 --> 00:47:19,480
 Are they going to stretch out Fuentes?

736
00:47:20,820 --> 00:47:23,440
 What's Bryce Elder, Grant Holmes?

737
00:47:24,060 --> 00:47:25,820
 Are they going to be huge parts of this?

738
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:29,520
 What are they going to do with Spencer Strider, put him in the bullpen?

739
00:47:30,100 --> 00:47:32,220
 Malley, of course, pitched really well.

740
00:47:32,300 --> 00:47:36,500
 And, again, of course, the strikes can be here next time we turn around.

741
00:47:36,900 --> 00:47:40,000
 Again, how do you feel about the starting pitching moving forward?

742
00:47:40,380 --> 00:47:41,560
 Well, I don't like it.

743
00:47:41,720 --> 00:47:42,840
 I mean, I never like it.

744
00:47:43,140 --> 00:47:46,400
 I was complaining in the 1990s they needed one more.

745
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:47,220
 So, what do I know?

746
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:50,380
 You know, I don't like it.

747
00:47:50,500 --> 00:47:52,100
 I mean, I think they need to bring back Malley.

748
00:47:52,240 --> 00:47:54,720
 I think they need to get another one or two.

749
00:47:56,220 --> 00:47:59,960
 I just think I'm still old school.

750
00:48:00,180 --> 00:48:03,120
 I still think starting pitching needs to be seven innings or more.

751
00:48:03,660 --> 00:48:09,860
 And I'm going to go to my grave, you know, in 40 years saying the same thing.

752
00:48:09,860 --> 00:48:13,340
 And they'll probably be, you know, two innings starters by then for Kyle.

753
00:48:13,620 --> 00:48:14,400
 It'll be ridiculous.

754
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:17,640
 But, I mean, they need help.

755
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:19,140
 I mean, they need help.

756
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:20,540
 They need to redo some things.

757
00:48:20,660 --> 00:48:21,640
 They need to trade Acuna.

758
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:28,340
 You know, they say that there's going to be a lot of activity between now and the lockout on December 1st at midnight.

759
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:32,500
 11.59 on December 1st is when the lockout will begin.

760
00:48:33,420 --> 00:48:34,760
 Nothing's happened so far.

761
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:38,520
 Monday at 5 o'clock, we've not seen one thing happen.

762
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:42,040
 So, not only with the Braves and baseball in general.

763
00:48:42,180 --> 00:48:46,100
 No trades, no free agents of somebody signing somebody else.

764
00:48:46,620 --> 00:48:47,800
 So, I don't know what's going to happen.

765
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:49,900
 I don't know if it's going to be slow or fast.

766
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:54,700
 I mean, they projected, the projection was that there will be a ton of back, but not yet.

767
00:48:55,440 --> 00:49:01,920
 I mean, the Braves can either run it back and try to go at it again, which I think is moronic and stupid.

768
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:02,800
 Yep, it is.

769
00:49:02,980 --> 00:49:05,700
 Or they can shake this up and get this team ready.

770
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:12,200
 Now, again, I always have a disclaimer that the form system for the Atlanta Braves right now is in the best shape it's been in in a long time.

771
00:49:13,260 --> 00:49:15,700
 Perhaps even going back to the mid-nights.

772
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:18,260
 I mean, even maybe better than a decade ago.

773
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:19,140
 It's that good.

774
00:49:19,140 --> 00:49:26,400
 Now, there's a lot of players that do need to get to double-A and prove even more, but I really like what I see in this farm system.

775
00:49:26,580 --> 00:49:31,580
 And I think this time, this next year, it's going to be a top-10 farm system.

776
00:49:31,700 --> 00:49:36,440
 It may be in the high teens right now, but I think it's a really good farm system.

777
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:40,080
 There's some really good talent on the way, and they've got to keep that in mind.

778
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:43,500
 And to be honest, I want to tell you what my approach would be.

779
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:52,980
 Not knowing what this 2027 season is going to be, if it's going to be a 100-game schedule or maybe it's 162, I don't know.

780
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:55,020
 I would punt in 2027.

781
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:56,180
 I would.

782
00:49:56,240 --> 00:49:59,660
 I would get everything ready to try to have a heck of a team in 2028.

783
00:50:00,660 --> 00:50:02,620
 I mean, they need pitching, don't get me wrong.

784
00:50:02,980 --> 00:50:05,680
 But I would not go just full bore.

785
00:50:05,940 --> 00:50:07,940
 I mean, first of all, you don't know what the rules are going to be.

786
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:13,440
 You don't want to get a lot of players and all of a sudden have to trade them because you've got too much money on the books because of the salary.

787
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:15,400
 Yeah, that's a good point.

788
00:50:15,940 --> 00:50:20,080
 I mean, I think you have to – I mean, I would just punt on 2027.

789
00:50:20,420 --> 00:50:20,920
 I would.

790
00:50:21,060 --> 00:50:23,800
 I mean, I know people are saying, you've got to be crazy.

791
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:28,980
 But I just – I don't know what this lockout is going to do to the sport and to the season.

792
00:50:29,780 --> 00:50:40,800
 And, you know, what people would say in response to that, though, is that, hey, right before the other lockout in 2021 and then in 95 after the lockout, after the strike,

793
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:45,500
 the Braves won the World Series both times, so maybe they go for it.

794
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:46,480
 But we'll see.

795
00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:51,500
 It's going to be an interesting month to see for the rest of November how much activity there will be.

796
00:50:51,900 --> 00:50:53,100
 No question about it.

797
00:50:53,140 --> 00:50:55,180
 We'll enjoy the heck out of tomorrow.

798
00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:59,220
 Hopefully the respective teams will do their thing.

799
00:50:59,420 --> 00:51:12,140
 Now, if any of our devoted listeners and Bill Shanks fans would like to call in this afternoon and predict Alabama, LSU, Georgia, Ole Miss, et cetera, where can they go?

800
00:51:12,720 --> 00:51:15,140
 We are actually taking phone calls this afternoon.

801
00:51:15,240 --> 00:51:18,240
 We don't do that very much on Fridays anymore because we have a roundtable.

802
00:51:18,420 --> 00:51:24,020
 But half of them are sick, not because of what happened on Tuesday, but they're just sick in general.

803
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:31,800
 But nonetheless, we'll be taking phone calls at 5 o'clock Eastern, thesuperstations.com.

804
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:34,660
 That is our website, thesuperstations.com.

805

809

 Grilling season's here.

820
00:52:14,820 --> 00:52:16,940
 Now we find out what we're made of.

821
00:52:17,340 --> 00:52:19,760
 Are we going to fold under pressure and overcook the burgers?

822
00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:25,700
 Or are we going to nail the carne asada and the brisket and pack the coolers with ice cold Budweiser and Bud Light?

823
00:52:25,860 --> 00:52:32,420
 Because that's the difference between winning and losing, between flipping burgers and grilling like a pro.

824
00:52:33,420 --> 00:52:36,040

 Good afternoon, I'm Carl Brady for Andrea Tice.

895
00:56:33,580 --> 00:56:39,340
 Alabama has executed a Gadsden man convicted of killing an elderly couple during a robbery in 1991.

896

 He was pronounced dead at 6.10 p.m.

898
00:56:48,180 --> 00:56:55,500
 Taylor was 19 when he beat to death 83-year-old Ivan Moore and his 79-year-old wife Lucille with a metal bar inside their Gadsden home.

900
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:08,120
 Taylor had requested execution by nitrogen gas, but the court ruling prevented the state from using that method.

901
00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:10,820

 It's time for the Valley's exclusive FM Sports Voice.

944
01:00:36,500 --> 01:00:41,120
 The Boomo Bugg Show.

945
01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:43,560
 Your exclusive inside track to the Tide.

946
01:00:43,700 --> 01:00:46,660
 Tigers, Tennessee, and the rest of the SEC.

947
01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:52,840
 Now, your host, Harold Bugg on 93.9, The Score.

948
01:00:53,460 --> 01:00:55,740
 Welcome back in our tour of the Boomo Bugg Show.

949
01:00:55,840 --> 01:00:57,500
 I'm Harold Bugg, alongside Brett Beaird.

950
01:00:57,600 --> 01:01:00,780
 Thank you so much for giving us a free ride around the Tennessee Valley.

951
01:01:00,880 --> 01:01:08,980
 And with that, we open the door and say hello to Mike Hugin, national college football slash basketball analyst down in town called Orlando, Florida.

952
01:01:09,240 --> 01:01:10,520
 Mike, welcome in.

953
01:01:10,620 --> 01:01:12,300
 First time we've been able to say that in November.

954
01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:13,420
 How are you?

955
01:01:14,040 --> 01:01:20,620
 Doing well and looking forward to what looks to be the best Saturday of the season.

956
01:01:20,820 --> 01:01:22,200
 Extremely important day tomorrow.

957
01:01:22,380 --> 01:01:22,820
 No question.

958
01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:27,960
 You know, last week it was kind of a taste of what happened with Ohio State.

959
01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:36,180
 But before we get into some of the specifics, your thoughts, just from afar, who's got the most to lose?

960
01:01:36,260 --> 01:01:37,300
 Who's got the most to gain?

961
01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:41,240
 And how will this deck shuffle out come Monday after this weekend?

962
01:01:41,980 --> 01:01:51,240
 Yeah, I think there's a couple of teams that are, if you lose tomorrow, you can kiss your playoff hopes goodbye.

963
01:01:51,820 --> 01:01:53,320
 I think Notre Dame is one.

964
01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:55,480
 I think Ohio State is one.

965
01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:57,420
 I think Ole Miss is one.

966
01:01:57,840 --> 01:02:01,400
 And I think BYU could be facing the same thing.

967
01:02:01,740 --> 01:02:03,180
 And Tennessee is another.

968
01:02:05,220 --> 01:02:14,020
 And if Alabama were to, I think the Alabama LSU loser is going to be gnashing their teeth the rest of the way.

969
01:02:14,520 --> 01:02:18,140
 But tomorrow, yeah, it's a shakeout Saturday or whatever.

970
01:02:18,340 --> 01:02:20,320
 I'm sure ESPN will have something tomorrow.

971
01:02:20,840 --> 01:02:23,680
 But it is a gigantic, gigantic day.

972
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:27,660
 A lot of teams will be seeing their playoff hopes go up in smoke.

973
01:02:27,820 --> 01:02:32,920
 Now, next year at this time, tomorrow would be, oh, well, they lost.

974
01:02:33,620 --> 01:02:34,780
 It's not going to matter.

975
01:02:34,920 --> 01:02:38,760
 And I think that's the idea of a 2014 playoff.

976
01:02:39,220 --> 01:02:41,660
 That's why partly it's bothersome to me.

977
01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:45,340
 The games tomorrow have real stakes involved.

978
01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:49,620
 If this were next year at this time, there would be very few stakes involved.

979
01:02:50,420 --> 01:02:51,680
 Well, Matt, let me ask you this.

980
01:02:51,760 --> 01:02:55,460
 Everybody says that first poll doesn't matter that much from the committee.

981
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:56,840
 Or does it?

982
01:02:56,860 --> 01:03:02,280
 Because you look at Alabama, everybody thought they'd be maybe nine or ten, somewhere in that range.

983
01:03:02,340 --> 01:03:03,120
 They get five.

984
01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:06,200
 So, obviously, if they get blown out at LSU, it's one thing.

985
01:03:06,260 --> 01:03:08,480
 But let's just say it's a one-two, a three-point game.

986
01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:17,200
 When you're at number five and you lose on that field to a ranked team like LSU, what does that do for Bama with three losses?

987
01:03:18,140 --> 01:03:21,560
 I think it makes them a little bit worried, but you're right.

988
01:03:21,720 --> 01:03:24,780
 I mean, they're not going to – I think they'd still be in the top 12.

989
01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:30,620
 So, as long as you're in the top 12, you're – and obviously, you have to win out.

990
01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:36,060
 But there's still – you know, even after tomorrow, there's three weeks left.

991
01:03:36,900 --> 01:03:45,880
 So, it would not – I think I'd be angst-ridden if I'm a Tide fan, if they lose tomorrow.

992
01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:48,780
 But I would not be like, oh, our season's over.

993
01:03:49,140 --> 01:03:50,400
 We have no chance.

994
01:03:50,860 --> 01:03:54,980
 As long as it's a close – if it's a close loss, given where they're ranked.

995
01:03:56,620 --> 01:03:57,460
 And you're right.

996
01:03:57,480 --> 01:04:02,060
 The first poll, it's sort of – it's like, you know, NASCAR race.

997
01:04:02,120 --> 01:04:05,560
 If you start near the front, you have a good chance to finish near the front.

998
01:04:05,860 --> 01:04:06,820
 You're what you're supposed to do.

999
01:04:07,020 --> 01:04:13,920
 So, I think where Alabama is ranked is a gigantic positive if they were to lose a close game to them all.

1000
01:04:14,660 --> 01:04:17,980
 Let's talk about some of the national games in swing back to the SEC.

1001
01:04:17,980 --> 01:04:20,340
 You mentioned Miami and Notre Dame.

1002
01:04:20,960 --> 01:04:23,380
 Fighting Irish, a five-and-a-half-point favorite.

1003
01:04:24,340 --> 01:04:28,680
 Miami lost Malachi Tony, of course, their dynamic receiver.

1004
01:04:30,040 --> 01:04:33,240
 Mike, my biggest concern about Miami has been their defense.

1005
01:04:33,740 --> 01:04:38,020
 The first five games of the year, they were only giving up 10 points a game.

1006
01:04:38,120 --> 01:04:45,440
 The last three, they've allowed 93 points in three games to Florida State, Pittsburgh, and North Carolina.

1007
01:04:45,620 --> 01:04:51,160
 Now, their offense is still incredible, obviously, with Mensah and some of the other players.

1008
01:04:51,320 --> 01:04:53,680
 Notre Dame's got a veteran offensive line.

1009
01:04:54,180 --> 01:04:55,640
 They're running the ball better.

1010
01:04:56,260 --> 01:04:58,400
 Notre Dame's five-and-a-half-point favorite.

1011
01:04:58,500 --> 01:04:59,900
 Mike, do they win in cover?

1012
01:05:00,300 --> 01:05:01,280
 Yeah, I think they win.

1013
01:05:01,340 --> 01:05:02,540
 I'm not sure about the cover aspect.

1014
01:05:02,860 --> 01:05:05,460
 And you're right about Miami's defense has been pitiful.

1015
01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:09,000
 And you mentioned Pitt, backup quarterback.

1016
01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:11,540
 Florida State, extremely bad team.

1017
01:05:11,620 --> 01:05:12,500
 They fired their coach.

1018
01:05:12,940 --> 01:05:17,700
 North Carolina, they had their best offensive game of the year, frankly, against Miami.

1019
01:05:18,220 --> 01:05:25,500
 So, the issue for Miami tomorrow, yes, Malachi Tony is a difference maker.

1020
01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:29,940
 There's nobody else on the Miami roster that can take a five-yard pass and go 70 yards.

1021
01:05:30,420 --> 01:05:34,600
 He has three times as many catches as any other Miami receiver.

1022
01:05:35,340 --> 01:05:41,160
 I think if you add up the total receptions for the second, third, and fourth receivers on Miami's roster,

1023
01:05:41,640 --> 01:05:45,180
 they only have two or three more combined than Tony does by himself.

1024
01:05:45,580 --> 01:05:49,020
 So, that is a big loss, but Miami's still going to move the ball.

1025
01:05:49,500 --> 01:05:53,020
 I think Notre Dame is going to move the ball also.

1026
01:05:53,480 --> 01:05:55,480
 You mentioned the Notre Dame offensive line.

1027
01:05:55,620 --> 01:05:58,180
 Miami's defensive line has been problematic.

1028
01:05:58,460 --> 01:06:00,840
 Miami's secondary is bad.

1029
01:06:01,260 --> 01:06:02,900
 It's a bad secondary.

1030
01:06:03,900 --> 01:06:07,840
 CJ Carr should be able to pick them apart.

1031
01:06:08,280 --> 01:06:11,980
 Notre Dame's best receiver, the face-on kid, is from Fort Lauderdale.

1032
01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:15,260
 He'll be playing against guys he's known for his entire life.

1033
01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:17,320
 He'll have a chip on his shoulder.

1034
01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:22,700
 I think Notre Dame wins because I think Notre Dame can take advantage of Miami's secondary.

1035
01:06:23,580 --> 01:06:26,080
 But I think it will be a close game.

1036
01:06:26,260 --> 01:06:32,260
 But, again, if Notre Dame loses, they should not be mentioned for the playoff again

1037
01:06:32,260 --> 01:06:34,600
 because they have a two-game schedule.

1038
01:06:34,680 --> 01:06:35,020
 That's it.

1039
01:06:35,480 --> 01:06:39,900
 And if they lose both those games, you know, quit talking about them.

1040
01:06:41,160 --> 01:06:43,360
 You're going to get a lot of amens in this neck of the woods.

1041
01:06:43,460 --> 01:06:44,220
 I promise you, Mike.

1042
01:06:44,220 --> 01:06:47,580
 Mike, you're going to ask your college football slash basketball analyst.

1043
01:06:47,920 --> 01:06:52,000
 The number 12 team in the country is a three-and-a-half point dog.

1044
01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:53,280
 That's Ole Miss.

1045
01:06:53,340 --> 01:06:56,420
 That's because they're taking on the number two Bulldogs from Georgia.

1046
01:06:56,620 --> 01:07:01,220
 Let's face it, Ole Miss has no wiggle room here to keep rocking in the postseason.

1047
01:07:02,040 --> 01:07:02,260
 No.

1048
01:07:02,420 --> 01:07:05,680
 And I think, you know, Gunner Stockton, to me, is the key.

1049
01:07:06,680 --> 01:07:09,020
 Ole Miss, Georgia defense is really good.

1050
01:07:09,540 --> 01:07:10,780
 Ole Miss is going to move the ball.

1051
01:07:11,660 --> 01:07:17,480
 I think Smart is a little bit irritated by how well Ole Miss moved the ball

1052
01:07:17,480 --> 01:07:19,620
 in last year's football playoff.

1053
01:07:20,160 --> 01:07:23,120
 But Lacey, from what I understand, is not going to play.

1054
01:07:23,260 --> 01:07:25,020
 That's a gigantic loss for Ole Miss.

1055
01:07:26,480 --> 01:07:28,500
 The key to me is Gunner Stockton.

1056
01:07:28,580 --> 01:07:31,520
 No, he's not going to out-duel Trinidad Chambers.

1057
01:07:32,080 --> 01:07:34,940
 But Stockton had a horrible game against Auburn.

1058
01:07:35,100 --> 01:07:36,800
 He's the reason Georgia lost.

1059
01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:40,160
 Last week against Florida, he didn't have to do anything

1060
01:07:40,160 --> 01:07:42,660
 because Florida self-destructed.

1061
01:07:42,900 --> 01:07:44,560
 He threw up for 111 yards.

1062
01:07:45,100 --> 01:07:47,880
 If Gunner Stockton has an average game,

1063
01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:51,860
 George is going to be fine because an average game for Stockton

1064
01:07:51,860 --> 01:07:56,020
 is throwing for 230, two touchdowns, a run for 40 yards,

1065
01:07:56,200 --> 01:07:57,560
 and Georgia will be fine.

1066
01:07:58,040 --> 01:08:01,500
 If Stockton plays like he did against Auburn, Georgia's in trouble.

1067
01:08:01,840 --> 01:08:03,640
 I don't think he'll play that way.

1068
01:08:03,940 --> 01:08:06,920
 I don't think the Ole Miss front is going to be able to stop

1069
01:08:06,920 --> 01:08:08,220
 the Georgia rushing attack.

1070
01:08:08,660 --> 01:08:10,460
 Georgia is going to give up points.

1071
01:08:10,700 --> 01:08:14,820
 But I think Georgia, I think they're simply going to outscore Ole Miss.

1072
01:08:14,900 --> 01:08:17,520
 I think it'll be high 20s, low 30s.

1073
01:08:17,600 --> 01:08:22,520
 But I don't think Ole Miss can stop Georgia enough times to win the game.

1074
01:08:22,880 --> 01:08:24,960
 Mike, let me ask you about the Holy War.

1075
01:08:25,240 --> 01:08:30,500
 That game is literally their local time in Utah, 10 a.m., which is ridiculous.

1076
01:08:31,220 --> 01:08:35,360
 One of the big keys, L.J. Martin may come back.

1077
01:08:36,260 --> 01:08:37,620
 Tremendous running back.

1078
01:08:37,760 --> 01:08:39,280
 He has been out for a while.

1079
01:08:39,400 --> 01:08:41,580
 But this is a showcase for the quarterbacks.

1080
01:08:41,880 --> 01:08:44,380
 Dampier, Bayer, Bachemeier.

1081
01:08:44,580 --> 01:08:48,920
 Utah has won 14 consecutive games, longest in the country.

1082
01:08:49,500 --> 01:08:51,340
 They're a five-and-a-half-point favorite.

1083
01:08:51,500 --> 01:08:54,300
 This is a top-seven matchup on ABC.

1084
01:08:55,160 --> 01:08:55,780
 Your thoughts?

1085
01:08:56,260 --> 01:08:57,640
 Yeah, this is a great game.

1086
01:08:58,240 --> 01:09:02,220
 The idea, you're right, that ridiculous is too nice to word.

1087
01:09:03,580 --> 01:09:05,860
 You know, I don't know why this couldn't have been an afternoon game.

1088
01:09:05,860 --> 01:09:06,300
 Absolutely.

1089
01:09:08,400 --> 01:09:14,400
 Utah's defense, especially for the Big 12, exceedingly physical.

1090
01:09:16,240 --> 01:09:17,800
 This is a great quarterback.

1091
01:09:18,320 --> 01:09:22,660
 Matt Bachemeier was awesome against Notre Dame with Al Hayes and Ray Martin.

1092
01:09:23,300 --> 01:09:26,980
 Devin Dampier, you look at him, you're like, come on.

1093
01:09:27,120 --> 01:09:30,700
 And then you watch him play, you're like, oh, my God, this guy's fun to watch.

1094
01:09:31,020 --> 01:09:32,640
 He's a short guy, but he runs well.

1095
01:09:32,700 --> 01:09:33,480
 He's got a nice arm.

1096
01:09:34,020 --> 01:09:35,360
 Moves around the pocket well.

1097
01:09:35,360 --> 01:09:37,980
 Sort of a poor man's trinity at Chambles, in a way.

1098
01:09:38,400 --> 01:09:42,640
 And, you know, I grew up in the South.

1099
01:09:43,320 --> 01:09:44,880
 I'm a huge SEC guy.

1100
01:09:45,300 --> 01:09:50,200
 There are phenomenal rivalries in the SEC, phenomenally nasty rivalries.

1101
01:09:50,640 --> 01:09:55,460
 I am not sure that there is a nastier rivalry than you are.

1102
01:09:55,460 --> 01:09:56,200
 But you're right.

1103
01:09:56,400 --> 01:09:57,100
 I mean, think about it.

1104
01:09:57,120 --> 01:10:01,080
 It's called the Holy War because there's religion involved.

1105
01:10:01,660 --> 01:10:04,860
 And as everybody knows, no matter what part of the country you live in,

1106
01:10:04,860 --> 01:10:07,000
 religion is a hot topic.

1107
01:10:07,220 --> 01:10:12,580
 And there are Utah fans who do not like the LDS, the Church of the Latter-day Saints.

1108
01:10:13,060 --> 01:10:15,060
 So, this is a nasty game.

1109
01:10:15,160 --> 01:10:16,300
 It will be a nasty game.

1110
01:10:16,420 --> 01:10:19,080
 There will be a lot of cheap shots.

1111
01:10:19,300 --> 01:10:22,640
 There will be playing to the echo of the whistle, that kind of stuff.

1112
01:10:23,180 --> 01:10:26,540
 I think Utah's defense gets this done.

1113
01:10:27,700 --> 01:10:30,000
 Bachmeier is a better passer than Dampier.

1114
01:10:30,400 --> 01:10:31,560
 Dampier's a better runner.

1115
01:10:32,160 --> 01:10:34,360
 Should be a phenomenal quarterback matchup.

1116
01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:36,620
 I think Utah's defense gets the job done.

1117
01:10:37,240 --> 01:10:42,440
 And Utah has a great chance to go unbeaten, which is sort of amazing,

1118
01:10:42,580 --> 01:10:44,440
 considering that Kyle Whittingham left.

1119
01:10:44,640 --> 01:10:44,880
 Yes.

1120
01:10:45,140 --> 01:10:45,280
 Yeah.

1121
01:10:45,720 --> 01:10:51,720
 So, this is, in BYU loss, they got destroyed by UCF.

1122
01:10:51,720 --> 01:10:55,660
 I'm sorry, they lost to UCF, which just didn't turn around and got destroyed by Baylor.

1123
01:10:55,940 --> 01:10:57,580
 So, that loss looks really bad.

1124
01:10:58,280 --> 01:11:08,280
 And if Notre Dame were to lose to Miami, BYU beating Miami sort of becomes a, I mean, BYU beating Notre Dame, rather, becomes a big deal.

1125
01:11:08,800 --> 01:11:11,900
 So, this is a highly, highly important day for BYU to win.

1126
01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:15,880
 Mike Hegan, a National College football slash basketball analyst.

1127
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:21,560
 A lot of folks have been saying, Stark and Arch, show me that you are worthy of your payroll.

1128
01:11:21,560 --> 01:11:25,580
 Will Texas be able to do it in the show-me state tomorrow of Missouri?

1129
01:11:26,380 --> 01:11:29,460
 Yeah, I think that, yeah, it's weird.

1130
01:11:29,560 --> 01:11:32,940
 I trust Austin Simmons more than I trust Arch Manning.

1131
01:11:33,280 --> 01:11:37,480
 And I don't think Austin Simmons is a top-five quarterback in the SEC this year.

1132
01:11:38,020 --> 01:11:40,260
 That's how little I think Arch Manning is.

1133
01:11:40,460 --> 01:11:51,000
 I think the Texas defense, though, that front six is talented, it's aggressive, and it makes plays even without Colin Simmons.

1134
01:11:51,220 --> 01:11:55,080
 I was highly, highly dubious of the Texas linebackers.

1135
01:11:55,200 --> 01:11:59,280
 One came in from Pitt, one from FSU, Biles and Cryer.

1136
01:11:59,280 --> 01:12:01,440
 Those dudes are playing high-level football.

1137
01:12:02,740 --> 01:12:07,900
 And Austin Simmons, when Missouri runs the ball, is really, really good.

1138
01:12:08,520 --> 01:12:12,560
 Games that Missouri has not been able to run, it has lost.

1139
01:12:13,180 --> 01:12:16,780
 And Austin Simmons has been not even ordinary.

1140
01:12:17,560 --> 01:12:22,720
 So, I think this all comes down to the old, the Texas defensive front.

1141
01:12:22,900 --> 01:12:24,620
 I think they will get the job done.

1142
01:12:24,780 --> 01:12:27,140
 I think Texas wins an ugly game, close.

1143
01:12:28,320 --> 01:12:31,380
 And this is sort of an elimination game, too.

1144
01:12:31,460 --> 01:12:34,740
 If Texas loses this, I don't see how it's going to play off.

1145
01:12:35,220 --> 01:12:40,460
 Even with the win over Ohio State, and if Missouri loses, they have no chance to make the playoff.

1146
01:12:40,580 --> 01:12:43,620
 So, a gigantic game tomorrow in Columbia.

1147
01:12:43,720 --> 01:12:44,720
 But I think Texas wins.

1148
01:12:45,420 --> 01:12:51,420
 This is another show I wish we had an hour with you to break down all these incredible games.

1149
01:12:51,420 --> 01:12:53,740
 Listen, enjoy the heck out of it tomorrow.

1150
01:12:53,900 --> 01:12:58,600
 Get the refreshments ready from 10 a.m. to midnight.

1151
01:12:58,900 --> 01:13:00,000
 It's going to be fun.

1152
01:13:00,500 --> 01:13:01,560
 Have a great weekend.

1153
01:13:01,700 --> 01:13:03,140
 Let's do this again next Friday.

1154
01:13:03,740 --> 01:13:04,140
 Excellent.

1155
01:13:04,280 --> 01:13:04,680
 Thanks, guys.

1156
01:13:05,400 --> 01:13:05,880
 There you have it.

1157
01:13:05,900 --> 01:13:10,380
 The one, the only, Mike Kugin, a national college football slash basketball analyst.

1158
01:13:10,620 --> 01:13:14,340
 Coming up, time to break out the playoff parties throughout the entire show.

1159
01:13:14,460 --> 01:13:15,440
 There is Zach Pounders.

1160
01:13:15,520 --> 01:13:16,120
 It tells next.

1161
01:13:16,200 --> 01:13:16,580
 Stay with us.

1162
01:13:20,080 --> 01:13:29,460
 Do you have three ex-wives and your current trophy wife wants a life insurance policy three times the size of the policies you had to purchase for your previous mistakes?

1163
01:13:29,880 --> 01:13:35,700
 If so, you need to call Big Lou at Term Provider, 800-444-2013.

1165
01:13:42,060 --> 01:13:47,400

1166
01:13:47,400 --> 01:13:50,720
 Big Lou may have a solution for your previous policies as well.

1167

01:13:56,440 --> 01:13:58,240
 Remember, call Big Lou.

1169
01:13:58,500 --> 01:14:01,620

1175
01:14:20,800 --> 01:14:24,040
 Progressive knows that for business owners, vacations hit different.

1176
01:14:24,420 --> 01:14:26,440
 But hey, at least you finally took a vacation.

1177
01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:27,720
 And look at that.

1178
01:14:27,940 --> 01:14:31,280
 You only answered 53 calls, 84 emails, onboarding one new hire,

1179
01:14:31,400 --> 01:14:33,000
 and covered for Chris while he's out on paternity leave,

1180
01:14:33,080 --> 01:14:34,640
 and you did it all from a kayak.

1181
01:14:35,000 --> 01:14:37,300
 Because you, my friend, know how to relax.

1182
01:14:38,860 --> 01:14:40,480
 All right, you may not know how to take a day off,

1183
01:14:40,560 --> 01:14:43,120
 but you do know both your personal and business auto insurance needs

1184
01:14:43,120 --> 01:14:44,760
 can be covered in one place with Progressive.

1185
01:14:45,060 --> 01:14:47,220

 Hiring for a small business is hard.

1220
01:15:57,560 --> 01:15:59,900

 That's the North Court Street Tree Lighting, November 22nd at 5 p.m.

1269
01:18:19,180 --> 01:18:25,180
 For board information or project details, visit the Beautification Board at the City of Florence page at FlorenceAL.org.

1270
01:18:25,740 --> 01:18:27,000
 Tis the season.

1271
01:18:27,220 --> 01:18:28,360
 We hope to see you there.

1272
01:18:30,140 --> 01:18:33,760
 So if I could speed this a little, what is your point in all this?

1273
01:18:34,560 --> 01:18:36,540
 Well, I don't know.

1274
01:18:36,640 --> 01:18:38,040
 Didn't mean to throw your curveball there.

1275
01:18:38,160 --> 01:18:39,140
 All fun gone.

1276
01:18:39,400 --> 01:18:44,040
 Weekdays at 3 Eastern on the ESPN app and the SEC network.

1277
01:18:44,800 --> 01:18:45,760
 The score.

1278
01:18:46,280 --> 01:18:50,980
 Now, back with Boomo Bugg on 93.9 The Score.

1279
01:18:51,320 --> 01:18:51,960
 Welcome back again.

1280
01:18:52,320 --> 01:18:57,300
 Quickly, in case you missed it, Mike Hogan, the previous guest, always makes his picks.

1281
01:18:57,420 --> 01:19:05,140
 And if you missed it, he has LSU knocking off Alabama 31-23, covering the spread, which right now is 6, BB.

1282
01:19:05,400 --> 01:19:10,060
 Well, we'll give our predictions, Harold Bugg, at the end of the show.

1283
01:19:10,420 --> 01:19:13,500
 Why don't we just go ahead and say hello in the meantime to Zach Pounders.

1284
01:19:13,600 --> 01:19:17,740
 He's got a plate full of action tonight when it comes to high school playoff action.

1285
01:19:17,880 --> 01:19:21,020
 Zach Pounders is busy there with the Shoals Sports Report.

1286
01:19:21,160 --> 01:19:22,040
 Zach, welcome in.

1287
01:19:22,160 --> 01:19:25,000
 I would imagine you're gearing up for a busy night.

1288
01:19:25,160 --> 01:19:25,700
 How are you?

1289
01:19:26,380 --> 01:19:27,220
 Yes, doing good.

1290
01:19:27,280 --> 01:19:27,620
 How are y'all?

1291
01:19:27,680 --> 01:19:28,000
 Hey, bud.

1292
01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:31,860
 Well, probably not as busy as you are right now tonight.

1293
01:19:32,140 --> 01:19:38,120
 Where do you start to get the party started for Zach Pounders with all this playoff action getting underway tonight in our neck of the woods?

1294
01:19:38,920 --> 01:19:40,960
 Let's start with the story of the night, basically, I think.

1295
01:19:41,520 --> 01:19:44,240
 Or what will be the story of the night when it comes to the end, hopefully.

1296
01:19:45,040 --> 01:19:46,380
 Dershler, Central Lake County.

1297
01:19:46,520 --> 01:19:46,740
 Yep.

1298
01:19:47,360 --> 01:19:54,840
 Central Lake County, coached by Danny Horn, 380 career wins, 8 state championships at three different schools.

1299
01:19:56,040 --> 01:20:03,580
 He's won so much, and the whole thing is coaches win games, coaches players in positions to win games.

1300
01:20:05,020 --> 01:20:08,060
 And Dershler, I said, it's going to be the first round, might be tough in the second round.

1301
01:20:08,980 --> 01:20:11,440
 And he's retired in the season, regardless.

1302
01:20:11,660 --> 01:20:12,520
 He announced that preseason.

1303
01:20:13,560 --> 01:20:19,020
 There's so many numbers there on a preview that we've put off load, but so much on the line at Dershler.

1304
01:20:19,220 --> 01:20:20,340
 I've coached him all the time.

1305
01:20:21,340 --> 01:20:23,820
 The ball bounce was a little different on Friday night at Howard Troubles.

1306
01:20:24,780 --> 01:20:26,420
 Yeah, you're exactly right.

1307
01:20:26,420 --> 01:20:29,420
 Dershler, 28-3 all-time in first-round games.

1308
01:20:30,240 --> 01:20:34,840
 Now, Kendrick Gunn, Armani Jones, Harold Grant, our great running backs.

1309
01:20:35,460 --> 01:20:39,960
 Bryson Williams, I'm curious about whether or not he'll be playing tonight.

1310
01:20:40,080 --> 01:20:40,800
 But you're right.

1311
01:20:41,160 --> 01:20:47,300
 The amazing thing about it is, we talked about this a little bit yesterday, Dershler and Central Clay.

1312
01:20:48,480 --> 01:20:51,560
 Well, I mean, Danny Horn has never played Dershler.

1313
01:20:51,720 --> 01:20:56,720
 You would think in all the years he's been a coach, but he's never played against Dershler.

1314
01:20:57,420 --> 01:20:57,540
 Wow.

1315
01:20:58,540 --> 01:21:02,920
 And one more thing about Ross, and he just played the night from Lopperd.

1316
01:21:03,240 --> 01:21:04,240
 He could have played last week.

1317
01:21:04,400 --> 01:21:06,840
 Now, they held him out a little more way just to get him healthier for the playoffs.

1318
01:21:07,060 --> 01:21:07,260
 Okay.

1319
01:21:08,220 --> 01:21:09,220
 Stay tuned for that.

1320
01:21:09,300 --> 01:21:10,600
 Let's talk about road shows.

1321
01:21:10,940 --> 01:21:16,080
 This time of the year, you want that home cooking because you know if you don't, you go on the road.

1322
01:21:16,180 --> 01:21:17,000
 It is a trip.

1323
01:21:17,140 --> 01:21:23,160
 Just ask Muscle Shoals, a team that started out one way, and Dr. Jekyll is turning to Mr. Hyde.

1324
01:21:23,220 --> 01:21:25,040
 They got the long ride down to Oxford.

1325
01:21:25,240 --> 01:21:28,640
 Six and three, Muscle Shoals taking on seven and two, Oxford.

1326
01:21:29,940 --> 01:21:37,060
 Yeah, another odd stat here, Muscle Shoals was the last Oxford playoff loss at home, I think in the first round, maybe.

1327
01:21:37,520 --> 01:21:37,960
 Wow.

1328
01:21:37,960 --> 01:21:42,060
 In 2017 or 2016, and then Oxford even is between 17, and that's the second round.

1329
01:21:42,700 --> 01:21:48,780
 But another game where the historical stat puts out hypothetical lines each week of how close the game might be,

1330
01:21:49,360 --> 01:21:51,800
 and then Muscle Shoals was at one point a favorite on this game.

1331
01:21:52,820 --> 01:21:53,680
 I don't think that's accurate.

1332
01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:54,960
 I think it could go either way.

1333
01:21:55,140 --> 01:21:56,580
 Oxford plays in that place, a lot more region.

1334
01:21:57,200 --> 01:22:00,100
 They've had closer games over the season than they should have possibly.

1335
01:22:00,820 --> 01:22:03,860
 But Muscle Shoals, it's not road on fifth.

1336
01:22:03,860 --> 01:22:08,580
 It's what Coach Jardins said preseason, and they're rolling again, lost to Russell, Florence, and Hoover.

1337
01:22:09,220 --> 01:22:11,560
 I don't think you find a better three-loss team in the state than that.

1338
01:22:11,860 --> 01:22:12,040
 Yep.

1339
01:22:12,700 --> 01:22:15,080
 But for Oxford, Muscle Shoals, it's a long bus ride.

1340
01:22:15,320 --> 01:22:19,920
 However, I trust Muscle Shoals and their experience in the last several years in the playoffs to get this win.

1341
01:22:20,180 --> 01:22:21,200
 I agree with you.

1342
01:22:21,240 --> 01:22:28,160
 By the way, this game is televised by Alabama Public TV, which is tremendous for a lot of people.

1343
01:22:28,400 --> 01:22:38,380
 Alabama got a commitment from the offensive lineman, Xavier Endicott from Oxford, and his teammates also interested in that, too.

1344
01:22:38,880 --> 01:22:41,980
 Pell City at Russellville, Russellville 91.

1345
01:22:42,260 --> 01:22:44,560
 What a coaching job Daryl Higgins did.

1346
01:22:45,100 --> 01:22:48,020
 Taurus Davis has been running wild the entire season.

1347
01:22:48,220 --> 01:22:51,860
 Trip Cleveland keeps it all together at quarterback.

1348
01:22:52,100 --> 01:22:54,880
 Pell City is one of 23 losing teams.

1349
01:22:55,340 --> 01:22:57,120
 They've lost to a lot of good teams.

1350
01:22:57,260 --> 01:23:00,520
 In fact, their losses were the teams combined 39-9.

1351
01:23:01,100 --> 01:23:04,000
 But I think Russellville wins tonight in advances.

1352
01:23:04,720 --> 01:23:06,080
 Yeah, you look at Pell City.

1353
01:23:06,540 --> 01:23:12,280
 It could have been one of those better coaching matchups also tonight across the state if they had not got a lot of trouble back in the offseason.

1354
01:23:12,660 --> 01:23:12,820
 Yeah.

1355
01:23:13,100 --> 01:23:19,860
 But for Pell City, you've lost to a significant city, Oxford, Sarah Land, played shot for three losses.

1356
01:23:20,320 --> 01:23:20,720
 Mm-hmm.

1357
01:23:21,280 --> 01:23:23,840
 That might be better than Russellville's three losses on paper.

1358
01:23:23,960 --> 01:23:24,280
 I know.

1359
01:23:24,720 --> 01:23:26,600
 When you look at it in the comments of the mail.

1360
01:23:27,180 --> 01:23:32,200
 But for Russellville, if that win tee, I don't know how many schools will see it in 5-8.

1361
01:23:32,760 --> 01:23:36,060
 And until you can see it multiple times, it is hard to stop.

1362
01:23:36,620 --> 01:23:40,820
 And I don't know how many teams have 5-8 to stop it and be committed to stopping it the whole night.

1363
01:23:41,340 --> 01:23:44,000
 However, the win tee, if you stop it, he can also throw it.

1364
01:23:44,680 --> 01:23:48,020
 Trip Cleveland, I think it's quarterback's name, can enter that down the field.

1365
01:23:48,400 --> 01:23:52,040
 And Taurus Davis can run wherever on the field, however he wants to.

1366
01:23:52,760 --> 01:23:57,340
 If they can play from my head tonight at Russellville, he should be able to win that game.

1367
01:23:58,300 --> 01:24:00,200
 And plus, Coach, he does not lose in the playoffs.

1368
01:24:00,900 --> 01:24:04,560
 He's not lost the playoff game since 2024, I think.

1369
01:24:05,200 --> 01:24:10,020
 And he's only lost one first-round playoff game at Mars Hill with Sandrock,

1370
01:24:10,200 --> 01:24:12,000
 and I think the first playoff print for Mars Hill.

1371
01:24:12,820 --> 01:24:13,900
 So he doesn't lose the playoffs.

1372
01:24:14,460 --> 01:24:18,840
 It's one of those games that's like, if you can beat Russellville, good luck.

1373
01:24:18,960 --> 01:24:19,260
 Yes.

1374
01:24:19,560 --> 01:24:20,120
 That's right.

1375
01:24:20,540 --> 01:24:23,320
 Only one loss on the year for Russell.

1376
01:24:23,480 --> 01:24:24,440
 That was to Florence.

1377
01:24:24,600 --> 01:24:28,800
 Speaking of which, they're cashing in his sort numbers for the Falcons.

1378
01:24:29,440 --> 01:24:35,000
 They are at home opening up 91 Florence, taking on 5-5 St. Clair County tonight.

1379
01:24:35,780 --> 01:24:37,920
 Yeah, 5-5 is a C-1, just say my thing.

1380
01:24:38,080 --> 01:24:39,680
 They have a 5-5 record.

1381
01:24:40,120 --> 01:24:43,760
 However, they have played, if I can find my numbers here,

1382
01:24:44,320 --> 01:24:46,840
 they have played Oxford within possession.

1383
01:24:47,520 --> 01:24:49,300
 Tennessee lost by one double overtime.

1384
01:24:49,880 --> 01:24:50,060
 Wow.

1385
01:24:51,060 --> 01:24:52,740
 And Sichuan played Kennedy by 3 last week.

1386
01:24:52,880 --> 01:24:53,260
 Wow.

1387
01:24:54,220 --> 01:24:56,260
 The common aspect comes in here also.

1388
01:24:56,680 --> 01:24:59,320
 They have been pitching the Valley 43-26.

1389
01:25:00,140 --> 01:25:02,280
 Florida beat Penns in 45 minutes in their week one.

1390
01:25:02,540 --> 01:25:02,660
 Yeah.

1391
01:25:02,880 --> 01:25:06,540
 But Texas County is not 5-5, as most 5-5 teams will look.

1392
01:25:06,600 --> 01:25:11,080
 I think they're a 5-5 team disguised as a 7-3 team, really.

1393
01:25:11,380 --> 01:25:11,760
 Mm-hmm.

1394
01:25:12,360 --> 01:25:14,120
 Because a few of those balls went up a different way.

1395
01:25:14,320 --> 01:25:17,040
 And those, I tell you, I think it was a double overtime game.

1396
01:25:17,540 --> 01:25:19,340
 They about went for two and missed at the end.

1397
01:25:19,860 --> 01:25:20,640
 And that goes different.

1398
01:25:20,740 --> 01:25:21,240
 They're 6-4.

1399
01:25:21,660 --> 01:25:22,960
 Moody, they could have won that one.

1400
01:25:23,140 --> 01:25:24,260
 They're 7-3.

1401
01:25:25,540 --> 01:25:27,320
 Central Clay, they're 8-2.

1402
01:25:27,780 --> 01:25:28,680
 Also, they're 9-1.

1403
01:25:29,680 --> 01:25:29,920
 Hmm.

1404
01:25:31,280 --> 01:25:35,180
 Ohanshee, 6-4 at Lexington, 9-1.

1405
01:25:35,300 --> 01:25:39,900
 And, again, I saw that loss to Colbert County with 18 seconds remaining.

1406
01:25:40,020 --> 01:25:45,260
 I've talked about Zane Kilburn and Sawyer Howard the entire year.

1407
01:25:46,140 --> 01:25:53,580
 Ohanshee is, their four losses are the teams with a combined 32-8 record.

1408
01:25:54,340 --> 01:25:56,200
 So, again, that's a little bit deceiving.

1409
01:25:56,320 --> 01:25:57,780
 Very intriguing game tonight.

1410
01:25:58,000 --> 01:26:01,040
 What, Lexington's one of six, I believe, shows teams at home.

1411
01:26:01,820 --> 01:26:03,140
 Ohanshee and Lexington.

1412
01:26:04,020 --> 01:26:06,520
 Yeah, Ohanshee scored 3-3, who went to the game.

1413
01:26:07,100 --> 01:26:10,000
 And they might have scored 40 a game tonight to get to stay in this game.

1414
01:26:10,560 --> 01:26:11,780
 Lexington's going to score on you.

1415
01:26:11,900 --> 01:26:13,680
 They're going to score 40, 50 a game.

1416
01:26:14,220 --> 01:26:17,680
 They have scored, I want to say 40 or 50 in the last several games.

1417
01:26:18,420 --> 01:26:21,560
 Yeah, since Colbert County, they've scored 47 or more each game.

1418
01:26:21,920 --> 01:26:28,000
 And, really, since the Phil Campbell game, it's been 47 plus a game outside the Carpenter County game.

1419
01:26:28,880 --> 01:26:32,380
 But, Ohanshee, though, another tough four seed coming in.

1420
01:26:33,220 --> 01:26:35,460
 I think this is a better matchup for Lexington, though, on paper.

1421
01:26:36,600 --> 01:26:43,160
 But, this playoff draw this year locally is tougher than what we had last year on the first round.

1422
01:26:43,680 --> 01:26:50,140
 This is at Oxford, I-20 East, Gagston, and it's in the far of the state where it's going to get the ball.

1423
01:26:50,400 --> 01:26:54,380
 Well, I actually went to the Sand Mountain region first, and that Sand Mountain region is usually a hit or a miss.

1424
01:26:54,520 --> 01:26:59,420
 You're going to get a great team, or a team that's down, and it's going to be better than any other part of the state.

1425
01:27:00,460 --> 01:27:04,620
 Zach, back to the show of Sports Reports, you're talking about a team with a huge challenge in front of them.

1426
01:27:04,660 --> 01:27:06,200
 Brooks on the road to Leeds.

1427
01:27:06,300 --> 01:27:11,320
 What makes that amazing, they've won 21 straight first-round playoff games.

1428
01:27:11,440 --> 01:27:16,320
 The last time they lost in the first round was to midfield in 1981.

1429
01:27:16,480 --> 01:27:22,440
 Barrett Bryant was still coaching in Alabama the last time these boys lost in the first round, 1981, if I've got that right.

1430
01:27:22,920 --> 01:27:23,640
 But, you know what?

1431
01:27:23,740 --> 01:27:27,080
 The reason they play these games is they don't play it on paper, they play it on the field.

1432
01:27:27,600 --> 01:27:30,200
 What's going to happen tonight when Brooks invades Leeds?

1433
01:27:31,060 --> 01:27:36,860
 Exactly, and Brooks has won a road foul game, I think, in three of the last four playoff appearances for Brooks.

1434
01:27:37,380 --> 01:27:40,880
 Beat Arnie on the first round three years ago, beat Dora two years ago.

1435
01:27:42,180 --> 01:27:49,420
 So, I mean, for Leeds, if you don't want to play, however, you never know with road trips like this.

1436
01:27:49,800 --> 01:27:55,920
 The good part is for Brooks fan base, Buckees right down the road, so before and after you can go to the Buckees, and then either way.

1437
01:27:56,500 --> 01:27:57,800
 That's right, you can't lose.

1438
01:28:00,120 --> 01:28:01,180
 That's pretty good.

1439
01:28:02,160 --> 01:28:05,560
 Wilson, we had Trey Lane on the show earlier this week.

1440
01:28:05,560 --> 01:28:15,140
 In fact, you were there with a remarkable comeback that Wilson had against Calvert County, went for two, converted it, won 34 to 33.

1441
01:28:15,880 --> 01:28:17,680
 They were traveling to Etowah.

1442
01:28:17,780 --> 01:28:19,280
 Etowah, six and four.

1443
01:28:19,800 --> 01:28:24,300
 The Warriors, as you indicated, their first playoff in 2017.

1444
01:28:24,740 --> 01:28:25,680
 They've had a great year.

1445
01:28:25,760 --> 01:28:28,980
 Reese Young, Lucas Rich, Bryant Clemens.

1446
01:28:29,520 --> 01:28:31,620
 Wilson at Etowah tonight.

1447
01:28:32,700 --> 01:28:33,980
 Yeah, this game's also interesting.

1448
01:28:34,640 --> 01:28:40,600
 You'd be hard for us to find a head coach and defense coordinator with more experience than Coach Lane and Coach Willis at Wilson right now.

1449
01:28:41,360 --> 01:28:45,940
 Coach Willis was at UNA for five-plus years as a head coach, 20-plus years total.

1450
01:28:46,900 --> 01:28:50,720
 And Coach Lane has been at Bruits and James Clemens, Lawrence.

1451
01:28:50,980 --> 01:28:54,880
 He's been around the eyes of this with the NFL, FBS, Bama, Michigan State.

1452
01:28:55,860 --> 01:28:57,720
 So, they have Wilson ready, I think.

1453
01:28:58,600 --> 01:29:02,660
 I don't know if it's a long road trip yet, but I think Wilson will be ready to play this game.

1454
01:29:03,380 --> 01:29:06,640
 I've heard that Etowah's quarterback is out for this game, so they're a little bit down with that.

1455
01:29:06,920 --> 01:29:09,880
 And Etowah has also played up in competition.

1456
01:29:10,300 --> 01:29:13,580
 They're treating the schedule of 560, treating the record of 366.

1457
01:29:14,080 --> 01:29:21,660
 Lost to Douglas last week, but for Etowah, they have played south side Gaston and lost 45-0.

1458
01:29:22,540 --> 01:29:25,160
 Lost to Cleveland County, undefeated 3-8, 21-0.

1459
01:29:25,940 --> 01:29:27,580
 However, Wilson is sneaky.

1460
01:29:27,760 --> 01:29:29,280
 If they can get a head, it's kind of like Russell.

1461
01:29:29,940 --> 01:29:36,080
 They run the ball so much, if they can play from the head and get a 7-0, 14-7 kind of lead, they have a sense to win this game.

1462
01:29:36,600 --> 01:29:39,900
 Last week at Calvert County, I thought, when the game started, I thought this game's over.

1463
01:29:40,900 --> 01:29:46,200
 Was 14-0, 13-0, 25-10, no offensive snap, wild start.

1464
01:29:46,320 --> 01:29:47,260
 However, they didn't quit.

1465
01:29:48,260 --> 01:29:53,940
 And Wilson found their way back into the game and had a chance at the end to go win it.

1466
01:29:54,820 --> 01:30:02,440
 And I have heard that last week, Coach Lewis gave Coach Lane the go-ahead, whatever, to go for two at the end.

1467
01:30:02,560 --> 01:30:03,680
 He said, I think you got to go for two.

1468
01:30:03,760 --> 01:30:04,760
 Whatever happens here, it happens.

1469
01:30:04,980 --> 01:30:09,480
 He fought back into this game, and you roll the dice here, whatever happens, happens.

1470
01:30:10,880 --> 01:30:11,280
 Absolutely.

1471
01:30:11,660 --> 01:30:14,660
 Let's talk about something that's huge this time of the year, and that's home field advantage.

1472
01:30:14,800 --> 01:30:18,940
 Just ask the folks out at Rogersville, Lauderdale County taking on Hoax Bluff.

1473
01:30:19,120 --> 01:30:21,320
 You got to believe, these guys got to come in tired.

1474
01:30:21,440 --> 01:30:22,240
 That is a trip.

1475
01:30:22,360 --> 01:30:23,400
 If you've ever been there, you know it.

1476
01:30:23,420 --> 01:30:26,160
 Your thoughts about Lauderdale County and Hoax Bluff tonight and Rogersville?

1477
01:30:26,900 --> 01:30:29,660
 To be honest with you, they have never played in a playoff game until now.

1478
01:30:30,400 --> 01:30:33,240
 I don't know how they have agreed with it so long.

1479
01:30:33,480 --> 01:30:38,680
 And basketball, girls, boys, volleyball, softball, baseball, football, they have never met.

1480
01:30:39,700 --> 01:30:43,320
 So, first time meeting here also, but Lauderdale County is going to score also.

1481
01:30:44,340 --> 01:30:47,240
 Coach Reed is going to want to score 40, 50 a game.

1482
01:30:47,420 --> 01:30:51,740
 I think the number of Lauderdale County is going to be 42, 49 points in this game tonight.

1483
01:30:51,740 --> 01:30:53,580
 If they get to that, they should be able to win.

1484
01:30:54,020 --> 01:30:59,620
 They scored 40-plus in every game this year, except for every game they've won this year.

1485
01:31:00,400 --> 01:31:04,340
 And they scored 40-plus in seven of their last eight.

1486
01:31:04,840 --> 01:31:06,540
 The outlier at Central lost between 1-20.

1487
01:31:07,200 --> 01:31:07,600
 Wow.

1488
01:31:09,580 --> 01:31:12,160
 I wish we had time to go over some of the other games.

1489
01:31:12,260 --> 01:31:14,080
 Hamilton and Alexandria.

1490
01:31:14,780 --> 01:31:17,040
 Vinemont at Central.

1491
01:31:17,640 --> 01:31:20,620
 I know they lost to an undefeated Hatton team last week,

1492
01:31:20,620 --> 01:31:24,720
 but Heath has had a really, Heath Woods had a really good year.

1493
01:31:24,840 --> 01:31:26,580
 Pleasant Valley at Phil Campbell.

1494
01:31:27,020 --> 01:31:28,640
 Red Bay at Winterboro.

1495
01:31:29,060 --> 01:31:32,600
 Listen, you have got all of this, the previews.

1496
01:31:32,720 --> 01:31:34,200
 You will have the scores tonight.

1497
01:31:34,440 --> 01:31:37,160
 You will have the postgame, the tell of the tape.

1498
01:31:37,740 --> 01:31:43,480
 Where can we get online to get all the information for round one and previews for round two?

1499
01:31:44,120 --> 01:31:48,000
 Yes, we'll be live tonight about 10, 30, or 11 on Facebook, recapping all this tonight.

1500
01:31:48,340 --> 01:31:51,480
 And then previews will be coming this weekend or the next week.

1501
01:31:52,000 --> 01:31:55,120
 As soon as we get them all out, hopefully you have to do 11 football previews again.

1502
01:31:55,620 --> 01:31:56,720
 Because I'll be all in swim.

1503
01:31:57,920 --> 01:32:01,960

1519

1520

 Presented by Progressive on 93-9, the score.

1611
01:37:18,760 --> 01:37:22,900
 This holiday, there's the easy way with Staples or the hard way.

1612
01:37:23,140 --> 01:37:26,580
 Hard means 17 people on my list, 11 stores.

1613
01:37:26,900 --> 01:37:27,940
 I got one gift.

1614
01:37:28,180 --> 01:37:28,720
 For who?

1615
01:37:29,040 --> 01:37:29,300
 Me.

1616
01:37:29,560 --> 01:37:30,580
 I needed to pick me up.

1617
01:37:30,720 --> 01:37:33,880
 Easy means everything for the holiday in one stop at Staples,

1618
01:37:34,060 --> 01:37:36,560

01:37:43,200 --> 01:37:44,060

1624
01:37:49,880 --> 01:37:53,200
 Hey, it's Flo here to say drivers who switch and save with Progressive could save hundreds.

1625
01:37:53,720 --> 01:37:54,120
 Nice.

1626
01:37:54,260 --> 01:37:56,220
 With my new savings, I'll get some hiking gear.

1627
01:37:56,380 --> 01:37:57,940
 It'll be great for my outdoor era.

1628
01:37:58,120 --> 01:38:00,600
 I don't know if it counts as an era if you just buy stuff.

1629
01:38:00,780 --> 01:38:02,420
 Um, I got a cute hiking backpack.

1630
01:38:02,980 --> 01:38:03,900
 It's an outdoor era.

1631
01:38:04,080 --> 01:38:05,760
 Well, you only bought one thing.

1632
01:38:05,820 --> 01:38:06,860
 I don't think it's an era.

1633
01:38:07,080 --> 01:38:09,320
 Well, I think we're in a agree-to-disagree era.

1634
01:38:09,460 --> 01:38:10,540
 Yeah, sure, you're probably right.

1635
01:38:10,640 --> 01:38:13,140
 Anyway, with the money you could save by switching to Progressive,

1636
01:38:13,140 --> 01:38:14,840
 you can afford to switch to other things in life.

1637
01:38:15,080 --> 01:38:15,900
 It's my savings era.

1638
01:38:16,200 --> 01:38:17,780
 Also, everything you do is not an era.

1639
01:38:18,280 --> 01:38:20,280
 Progressive Casualty Insurance Company and Affiliates.

1640
01:38:20,280 --> 01:38:24,280
 Tide fans, join the Crimson Tide Sports Network this fall on Wednesday nights

1641
01:38:24,280 --> 01:38:26,300
 for Hey Coach and the Kalen DeVore Show,

1642
01:38:26,420 --> 01:38:27,940
 presented by Alpha Insurance,

1643
01:38:28,180 --> 01:38:30,760
 live from Baumhauer's Victory Grill in Tuscaloosa.

1644
01:38:30,980 --> 01:38:34,080
 The show starts at 6 p.m., and you don't want to miss it.

1645
01:38:34,240 --> 01:38:35,100
 Roll Tide.

1646
01:38:35,940 --> 01:38:36,940
 The Score.

1647
01:38:37,380 --> 01:38:42,140
 Now, back with Boomo Bugg on 93.9 The Score.

1648
01:38:42,640 --> 01:38:43,420
 Welcome back in, Brett.

1649
01:38:43,460 --> 01:38:49,120
 Would you say this is a good weekend to load up the respective man-case across the country?

1650
01:38:49,180 --> 01:38:53,680
 You know, every time we're blessed to have Doug Segrist on the show,

1651
01:38:53,760 --> 01:38:59,120
 I tell him, get the plumbing fixed, look at the TV, make sure it's working,

1652
01:38:59,680 --> 01:39:04,480
 get plenty of snacks, put a Do Not Disturb sign on the door.

1653
01:39:05,040 --> 01:39:08,640
 This is the weekend that you check all those boxes.

1654
01:39:09,180 --> 01:39:10,620
 Yeah, and a lot of folks are going to stock up.

1655
01:39:10,720 --> 01:39:14,240
 The one word they're going to stock up with is bush, either beer or beans.

1656
01:39:14,340 --> 01:39:17,720
 I don't recommend doing both at the same time in that man-cave.

1657
01:39:18,240 --> 01:39:20,300
 Maybe Doug Segrist will disagree with that.

1658
01:39:20,360 --> 01:39:25,180
 He has been voted one of the 50 legends of the Alabama Sports Writers Association.

1659
01:39:25,400 --> 01:39:26,260
 Doug, welcome in.

1660
01:39:26,640 --> 01:39:28,060
 How are you, and how's the man-cave?

1661
01:39:28,920 --> 01:39:30,060
 It is great.

1662
01:39:30,200 --> 01:39:31,240
 I am stocked up.

1663
01:39:31,300 --> 01:39:32,040
 I'm ready to go.

1664
01:39:32,400 --> 01:39:35,740
 I mean, this is as big as his guess.

1665
01:39:35,740 --> 01:39:40,660
 It's his first time in history, top 25 match-ups.

1666
01:39:40,840 --> 01:39:41,880
 I mean, it's just incredible.

1667
01:39:42,800 --> 01:39:47,780
 What's the, in terms of baseball, who's the leadoff guy on your menu this weekend, Doug?

1668
01:39:50,060 --> 01:39:50,980
 Ooh, that's tough.

1669
01:39:51,060 --> 01:39:53,740
 And it's going to be Auburn, Arkansas, because I've got to cover that.

1670
01:39:55,440 --> 01:39:56,740
 I mean, it's a good game.

1671
01:39:57,060 --> 01:39:58,340
 That didn't sound right.

1672
01:39:58,780 --> 01:40:00,280
 I mean, it's a good game.

1673
01:40:01,220 --> 01:40:04,700
 I've got to flip over to my top 25.

1674
01:40:04,900 --> 01:40:08,220
 I'm trying to think what the BYU and Utah.

1675
01:40:08,500 --> 01:40:09,580
 Yeah, great game.

1676
01:40:09,700 --> 01:40:11,400
 They're playing at 11 a.m.

1677
01:40:11,880 --> 01:40:12,580
 Oh, my God.

1678
01:40:12,840 --> 01:40:14,440
 Which is 10 a.m. their time.

1679
01:40:15,100 --> 01:40:15,400
 Right.

1680
01:40:15,520 --> 01:40:16,900
 It's 10, mountain, nine.

1681
01:40:16,940 --> 01:40:17,600
 That's incredible.

1682
01:40:17,840 --> 01:40:20,080
 I mean, yeah, this is early.

1683
01:40:20,300 --> 01:40:24,680
 And all for TV, so Lincoln can complain all he wants to.

1684
01:40:24,820 --> 01:40:27,580
 I think BYU and Utah have bigger gripe.

1685
01:40:28,320 --> 01:40:35,820
 Texas, Missouri, UCLA, Minnesota, again, UCLA is undefeated, really haven't played anybody.

1686
01:40:36,140 --> 01:40:38,180
 But it's a fascinating team to watch.

1687
01:40:38,740 --> 01:40:40,420
 But they haven't had a hiccup yet.

1688
01:40:40,960 --> 01:40:43,000
 So, that's an interesting game.

1689
01:40:43,820 --> 01:40:47,720
 Minnesota's, what, 60-yard field goal away from beating Indiana.

1690
01:40:47,900 --> 01:40:48,260
 That's right.

1691
01:40:48,640 --> 01:40:48,920
 Yeah.

1692
01:40:49,260 --> 01:40:52,480
 And it's an also team, Mississippi State beat by 35.

1693
01:40:52,880 --> 01:40:55,440
 So, it's really interesting.

1694
01:40:55,440 --> 01:40:59,260
 So, I'm going to be multi-channel flip-a-lock.

1695
01:40:59,380 --> 01:40:59,760
 That's me.

1696
01:41:01,120 --> 01:41:02,480
 So, says Doug Sigrist.

1697
01:41:02,720 --> 01:41:03,700
 Let's talk about a game.

1698
01:41:03,800 --> 01:41:04,540
 We'll get to the SEC.

1699
01:41:05,320 --> 01:41:07,100
 Lots of key match-ups here in a sec.

1700
01:41:07,200 --> 01:41:08,140
 But let's face it.

1701
01:41:08,280 --> 01:41:12,840
 Kind of the thread on the sweater is Notre Dame and Miami for obvious reasons.

1702
01:41:13,020 --> 01:41:15,820
 This, I guess, in terms of two big boys going toe-to-toe.

1703
01:41:15,900 --> 01:41:16,340
 This is it.

1704
01:41:16,400 --> 01:41:17,820
 Going to have major ramifications.

1705
01:41:18,480 --> 01:41:22,100
 Going forward as far as the playoff party, Miami will have to be a top receiver.

1706
01:41:23,160 --> 01:41:23,840
 Your thoughts.

1707
01:41:23,900 --> 01:41:25,120
 Who comes out on top there?

1708
01:41:26,600 --> 01:41:28,680
 I just think Miami's a better team.

1709
01:41:28,940 --> 01:41:33,960
 I really thought going in Notre Dame was a favorite.

1710
01:41:34,160 --> 01:41:36,960
 They just haven't really shown me anything.

1711
01:41:37,720 --> 01:41:40,080
 They haven't played the schedule to show anything.

1712
01:41:40,440 --> 01:41:43,040
 You know, their only real test, they lose.

1713
01:41:43,160 --> 01:41:44,740
 It was a tough road game, no doubt.

1714
01:41:46,020 --> 01:41:51,180
 I just think Miami is maybe the most complete team in the country right now.

1715
01:41:53,340 --> 01:41:57,520
 Georgia at Ole Miss, we've talked about this game a good bit this week.

1716
01:41:58,540 --> 01:42:03,260
 Georgia has the most complete team probably in the SEC.

1717
01:42:03,640 --> 01:42:04,180
 We'll see.

1718
01:42:04,580 --> 01:42:06,380
 They've got the best defense.

1719
01:42:07,100 --> 01:42:09,320
 But Ole Miss has Trinidad Chambliss.

1720
01:42:09,940 --> 01:42:15,580
 And can Georgia keep him in the pocket and impact him a little bit?

1721
01:42:16,660 --> 01:42:19,220
 Georgia and Ole Miss, Doug Seegers.

1722
01:42:20,180 --> 01:42:22,400
 Well, you know Kirby's not sleeping at night.

1723
01:42:22,860 --> 01:42:25,700
 That is the kind of quarterback that gives them grace.

1724
01:42:25,760 --> 01:42:26,180
 It does.

1725
01:42:26,880 --> 01:42:28,600
 He's already done it to them two times.

1726
01:42:28,800 --> 01:42:29,120
 That's right.

1727
01:42:30,560 --> 01:42:33,120
 I still think Georgia's the better team.

1728
01:42:34,280 --> 01:42:37,600
 I trust their defense more, and I trust Ole Miss' defense,

1729
01:42:37,800 --> 01:42:38,760
 although it's getting better.

1730
01:42:41,100 --> 01:42:43,240
 But when all is said and done,

1731
01:42:43,380 --> 01:42:46,100
 it is just so hard this year to win on the road in the SEC.

1732
01:42:46,480 --> 01:42:48,440
 And I think crazy crowd.

1733
01:42:48,960 --> 01:42:51,520
 I just give a slight nod to Ole Miss.

1734
01:42:52,120 --> 01:42:56,100
 And the thing is, where does that drop Georgia going forward?

1735
01:42:56,400 --> 01:42:59,660
 Georgia's gotten the benefit of the doubt with only one signature win.

1736
01:43:00,060 --> 01:43:00,500
 Yeah.

1737
01:43:01,660 --> 01:43:05,220
 So, Doug, that one signature win is also on the road.

1738
01:43:05,320 --> 01:43:07,360
 I assume you're alluding to Alabama.

1739
01:43:07,820 --> 01:43:08,640
 It's on the road.

1740
01:43:08,760 --> 01:43:10,120
 Vegas says give it up.

1741
01:43:10,380 --> 01:43:12,060
 LSU's going to win by six.

1742
01:43:12,560 --> 01:43:15,740
 We know that Lane has a mat on because he wanted,

1743
01:43:16,000 --> 01:43:18,300
 according to a lot of reports, that job in Tuscaloosa.

1744
01:43:18,420 --> 01:43:21,300
 If he can, he's going to do like the old Steve Spurrier

1745
01:43:21,300 --> 01:43:23,240
 and look at the scoreboard and say mo, mo, mo

1746
01:43:23,240 --> 01:43:24,640
 to go back to the disco days.

1747
01:43:25,720 --> 01:43:27,480
 Alabama's got their backs to the wall.

1748
01:43:28,740 --> 01:43:29,560
 Looking on paper,

1749
01:43:29,560 --> 01:43:32,000
 sure they got some healthy guys back, at least on paper.

1750
01:43:32,160 --> 01:43:34,380
 We'll see how, as far as 100% they are.

1751
01:43:34,460 --> 01:43:38,800
 But, Doug, what happens tomorrow afternoon in Baton Rouge?

1752
01:43:40,800 --> 01:43:46,980
 I just think right now LSU is the better team because we haven't seen Alabama at full strength.

1753
01:43:47,240 --> 01:43:53,880
 We don't know if being at full strength, if they're truly, you know, 100% ready to go.

1754
01:43:55,240 --> 01:43:57,580
 Alabama has to start, you know, fast.

1755
01:43:57,580 --> 01:44:01,000
 You can't do another, okay, we're down 14-0, we're down 17-0.

1756
01:44:01,560 --> 01:44:04,360
 Or we've gone three straight, three and out to start the game.

1757
01:44:04,480 --> 01:44:06,180
 They've got to start fast.

1758
01:44:06,180 --> 01:44:06,920
 That's right.

1759
01:44:06,920 --> 01:44:09,840
 The defense has to force turnovers.

1760
01:44:09,840 --> 01:44:16,160
 And God knows this LSU team is capable of three or four turnovers on a day.

1761
01:44:16,920 --> 01:44:20,280
 But I just think Alabama has to bring a game.

1762
01:44:20,740 --> 01:44:28,160
 You know, the Alabama of September, early October could win this going away.

1763
01:44:29,120 --> 01:44:30,500
 LSU's gotten better, though.

1764
01:44:30,680 --> 01:44:36,600
 So, right now, I just favor LSU, and I think the line's about right.

1765
01:44:37,660 --> 01:44:39,180
 Kentucky at Tennessee.

1766
01:44:39,680 --> 01:44:43,040
 Tennessee's got all sorts of impressive defensive stats.

1767
01:44:43,040 --> 01:44:45,400
 Number two, pass defense in the SEC.

1768
01:44:46,720 --> 01:44:50,120
 They lead the league in sacks, et cetera.

1769
01:44:50,780 --> 01:44:52,140
 But Kentucky's got it.

1770
01:44:52,240 --> 01:44:57,480
 They're plus 13 in turnover margin, and Kenny Mencey's only thrown one interception.

1771
01:44:58,380 --> 01:45:04,000
 Can the incredible season for the Kentucky Wildcats continue in Knoxville?

1772
01:45:05,400 --> 01:45:06,620
 I think it can.

1773
01:45:06,620 --> 01:45:10,080
 I think on paper, Tennessee is far superior.

1774
01:45:10,980 --> 01:45:16,700
 But this is a Kentucky team that might have 62 yards total offense with two minutes left in the game,

1775
01:45:17,280 --> 01:45:21,340
 and yet somehow they're going to drop 99 yards for the starting touchdown,

1776
01:45:21,980 --> 01:45:23,560
 and then they're going to win it in overtime.

1777
01:45:23,940 --> 01:45:27,180
 This team believes in itself.

1778
01:45:27,260 --> 01:45:27,640
 It does.

1779
01:45:27,800 --> 01:45:31,980
 And with the exception of the second half of Alabama, you know,

1780
01:45:32,040 --> 01:45:34,820
 they have put themselves in a position to win every game.

1781
01:45:35,240 --> 01:45:38,380
 I still think, I mean, listen, Tennessee, me and handled Alabama,

1782
01:45:39,160 --> 01:45:44,640
 the defense has been really good at times, but they've also been shredded at times.

1783
01:45:45,080 --> 01:45:48,760
 And this is very much a one-dimensional offense.

1784
01:45:49,020 --> 01:45:53,300
 So, if things aren't going right, if you can take Deshaun Bishop out of the equation,

1785
01:45:54,420 --> 01:45:55,340
 they've got problems.

1786
01:45:55,340 --> 01:45:59,040
 And so, I'm speaking with the feel-good story, Kentucky.

1787
01:46:00,240 --> 01:46:03,220
 Doug, it's amazing that here we are in November.

1788
01:46:03,400 --> 01:46:06,080
 If we're going back to the preseason and made just statements like,

1789
01:46:06,160 --> 01:46:06,920
 what are you drinking?

1790
01:46:07,020 --> 01:46:12,680
 But this weekend, there's a scenario where both Texas and Ohio State could probably be eliminated from the playoff picture.

1791
01:46:12,680 --> 01:46:13,500
 If, if, if, if, if.

1792
01:46:13,500 --> 01:46:16,160
 Your thoughts about Texas and Ohio State's weekend.

1793
01:46:18,380 --> 01:46:23,320
 Yeah, and, and I'm not going to eliminate either one of them just because, you know,

1794
01:46:23,340 --> 01:46:25,300
 we, we talk about schedules all the time.

1795
01:46:25,380 --> 01:46:27,340
 Well, Ohio State has played an SEC schedule.

1796
01:46:28,520 --> 01:46:32,480
 And they got burned last week with a backup quarterback.

1797
01:46:33,840 --> 01:46:37,920
 And, and again, a game that came to the wire, down the wire.

1798
01:46:38,080 --> 01:46:44,540
 There are some reasons, just like, you know, the, the committee gave Alabama credit for the Kentucky win,

1799
01:46:44,600 --> 01:46:49,860
 for the Mississippi State win, for Kamario Taylor got lost, for South Carolina,

1800
01:46:49,860 --> 01:46:57,480
 which looks much better now than it did then, and for losing, again, Tennessee with, with a lot of injuries.

1801
01:46:57,620 --> 01:47:00,060
 You've got to give the same credit to Ohio State.

1802
01:47:01,540 --> 01:47:05,920
 Texas has lost Hollywood Smothers, but, but their injuries have been more manageable.

1803
01:47:06,280 --> 01:47:08,580
 Again, they've gone out and played the schedule.

1804
01:47:08,780 --> 01:47:16,400
 I, I think if these teams are 9-3 at the end of the season, that they both have a great shot of getting in.

1805
01:47:17,660 --> 01:47:21,260
 At some point, you've got to pay off people who are willing to take on challenges.

1806
01:47:21,460 --> 01:47:23,120
 They've played the biggest knockout game.

1807
01:47:24,200 --> 01:47:25,420
 They've got big wins.

1808
01:47:26,540 --> 01:47:27,540
 I, I, I don't know.

1809
01:47:27,620 --> 01:47:29,520
 I just don't think this is a knockout game.

1810
01:47:30,280 --> 01:47:34,060
 Compared to, say, Alabama-LSU, that could very well be a knockout game.

1811
01:47:34,500 --> 01:47:34,900
 Absolutely.

1812
01:47:35,500 --> 01:47:36,840
 Well, the best slate.

1813
01:47:37,080 --> 01:47:43,260
 We had to talk to Doug Segrish today about the best slate of the season for college.

1814
01:47:43,500 --> 01:47:47,620
 Oh, get the manhouse, the man cave ready for everything.

1815
01:47:48,260 --> 01:47:50,740
 Uh, certainly enjoyed the conversation.

1816
01:47:50,980 --> 01:47:55,040
 Have a great and fun football Saturday, my friend.

1817
01:47:56,080 --> 01:47:58,540
 Let's just pray the internet stays on.

1818
01:48:00,540 --> 01:48:02,660
 WWW, call up a prayer.

1819
01:48:02,800 --> 01:48:04,020
 Doug, listen, man, have a great weekend.

1820
01:48:04,100 --> 01:48:04,820
 Let's do it again soon.

1821
01:48:04,860 --> 01:48:06,480
 And thank you so much for your time today, buddy.

1822
01:48:07,200 --> 01:48:07,740
 Thanks, guys.

1823
01:48:07,800 --> 01:48:08,400
 Thank you, bud.

1824
01:48:09,200 --> 01:48:10,560
 Doug Segrish is picking up with us.

1825
01:48:10,700 --> 01:48:15,040
 Again, name one of 50 ledgers of the Alabama Sports Writers Association.

1826
01:48:15,260 --> 01:48:18,160
 Coming up, it's time for the Sup Stupid Underdog Picks on deck.

1827

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

1829
01:48:38,560 --> 01:48:43,320
 When you compete with your friends with Michelob Ultra on the line, competition isn't that friendly.

1830
01:48:43,880 --> 01:48:44,640
 The trash talk?

1831
01:48:45,320 --> 01:48:46,060
 Next level.

1832
01:48:46,400 --> 01:48:47,060
 And the stakes?

1833
01:48:47,500 --> 01:48:49,060
 Oh, those are crystal clear.

 There are a few things we love more than a good Saturday in the South, and football season is officially back at the carriage.

 Hey, Falcon fans, this is Keith from Cypress Creek Indoor Range.

1883
01:51:58,560 --> 01:52:00,000
 It started with a kickoff.

1884
01:52:00,060 --> 01:52:02,180
 Or perhaps it was love at first hike.

1885
01:52:02,460 --> 01:52:07,060
 But unfortunately, many of these football lovers don't live in the same city as their team.

1886
01:52:07,220 --> 01:52:12,140
 Which is why Marriott Bonvoy has hotels close to nearly every NFL stadium.

01:53:25,060 --> 01:53:27,080
 UNA's offensive line is banged up.

1908
01:53:27,180 --> 01:53:33,340
 But Destin Wade makes enough plays for UNA to win at home 28-17.

1909
01:53:34,660 --> 01:53:36,220
 Rick back with us again.

1910
01:53:36,860 --> 01:53:39,540
 Kentucky at Tennessee, we've talked about this game a lot.

1911
01:53:39,720 --> 01:53:42,340
 5-15 Central on ESPN.

1912
01:53:43,520 --> 01:53:46,660
 Kentucky plus 13 turnover margin.

1913
01:53:46,880 --> 01:53:48,480
 Mincy only one interception.

1914
01:53:49,160 --> 01:53:53,020
 Tennessee runs the ball for 175 yards, controls the clock.

1915
01:53:53,540 --> 01:53:57,620
 Kentucky stays in this game to the bitter end.

1916
01:53:58,220 --> 01:53:59,220
 Tennessee wins.

1917
01:53:59,380 --> 01:54:02,480
 Tennessee 28, Kentucky 27.

1918
01:54:02,820 --> 01:54:03,140
 Auburn.

1919
01:54:03,380 --> 01:54:04,400
 Thank you, Rick.

1920
01:54:04,760 --> 01:54:06,580
 Auburn in a get-right game.

1921
01:54:06,740 --> 01:54:09,020
 Arkansas 126 in scoring.

1922
01:54:09,200 --> 01:54:09,840
 That's pitiful.

1923
01:54:10,380 --> 01:54:11,680
 19 points a game.

1924
01:54:11,800 --> 01:54:15,160
 Auburn runs for 200 yards and keeps the turnovers to one.

1925
01:54:15,660 --> 01:54:18,360
 KJ Jackson makes some plays, but not enough.

1926
01:54:18,880 --> 01:54:21,540
 Auburn 24, Arkansas 14.

1927
01:54:22,340 --> 01:54:26,580
 The battle at Red Stick, Alabama in LSU.

1928
01:54:26,820 --> 01:54:30,480
 If Rayson Delgadie, Terrence Green, Coleman Williams,

1929
01:54:30,600 --> 01:54:35,100
 Zabian Brown, and Crowell are healthy, that's a major difference.

1930
01:54:35,260 --> 01:54:37,540
 Alabama has got the turnover margin.

1931
01:54:38,240 --> 01:54:40,880
 Kaelin DeBoer, 8-0 after bye weeks.

1932
01:54:41,520 --> 01:54:48,100
 Alabama surprises LSU 31-28 in the Bayou.

1933
01:54:48,600 --> 01:54:52,000
 And my stupid underdog pick, Texas.

1934
01:54:52,520 --> 01:54:58,440
 Texas, did I do it again, is the favorite over Missouri, 2-and-a-half points.

1935
01:54:58,620 --> 01:54:59,000
 No.

1936
01:54:59,740 --> 01:55:03,120
 Missouri's plus 5 in turnover margin.

1937
01:55:03,820 --> 01:55:05,260
 Texas minus 5.

1938
01:55:05,540 --> 01:55:08,640
 Missouri upsets Texas and Columbia.

1939
01:55:08,860 --> 01:55:09,500
 Stop it!

1940
01:55:09,500 --> 01:55:09,840
 Oh, boy.

1941
01:55:10,220 --> 01:55:13,900
 Yeah, let's see what I can do in the 17-and-a-half seconds I got left here.

1942
01:55:14,020 --> 01:55:15,460
 UNA in West Florida.

1943
01:55:15,780 --> 01:55:17,960
 I got to go with UNA, 27-22.

1944
01:55:18,140 --> 01:55:19,900
 It's on the home for Tennessee, Kentucky.

1945
01:55:20,280 --> 01:55:20,800
 It's tight.

1946
01:55:21,020 --> 01:55:21,640
 It's tight.

1947
01:55:21,740 --> 01:55:23,360
 25-24.

1948
01:55:23,600 --> 01:55:24,400
 Yeah, baby.

1949
01:55:25,080 --> 01:55:26,600
 And keep the train going.

1950
01:55:26,720 --> 01:55:28,860
 Auburn and Arkansas battle the A-teams.

1951
01:55:28,940 --> 01:55:30,120
 29-24.

1952
01:55:30,260 --> 01:55:31,480
 The Tigers resurrect.

1953
01:55:32,260 --> 01:55:33,720
 Alabama LSU.

1954
01:55:33,720 --> 01:55:37,740
 If Alabama can get a playbook on both sides of the ball, they got a chance.

1955
01:55:37,840 --> 01:55:41,160
 Otherwise, Lane's going to run up the score, but let's give them the benefit of the doubt

1956
01:55:41,160 --> 01:55:43,400
 that they finally go to school and learn some things.

1957
01:55:43,500 --> 01:55:45,260
 So, Alabama, 27-24.

1958
01:55:45,400 --> 01:55:45,600
 If.

1959
01:55:45,600 --> 01:55:46,500
 Yeah, baby.

1960
01:55:46,880 --> 01:55:50,040
 If, baby, they can get that playbook right on both sides of the ball.

1961
01:55:50,120 --> 01:55:51,900
 And since you went ahead and jumped ahead there.

1962
01:55:51,920 --> 01:55:52,280
 Again?

1963
01:55:53,100 --> 01:55:56,320
 Yes, again, I'll take mighty Utah State of a Fresno State.

1964
01:55:56,560 --> 01:55:58,040
 28-25.

1965
01:55:58,440 --> 01:55:59,340
 What'd you say, my friend?

1966
01:55:59,500 --> 01:55:59,720
 Go bad.

1967
01:56:00,200 --> 01:56:01,640
 Yeah, go bad.

1968
01:56:02,320 --> 01:56:02,980
 You know what?

1969
01:56:03,040 --> 01:56:05,200
 I got to think that dude's going to be here tonight and tomorrow.

1970
01:56:05,320 --> 01:56:07,520
 Busy times ahead on 93-9 to score, BB.

1971
01:56:07,740 --> 01:56:11,940
 Yeah, Florence playing tonight, pregame at 6, kickoff at 7 a.m.

1972
01:56:12,000 --> 01:56:17,500
 They're hosting in St. Clair County, Alabama, pregame tomorrow at 11.30.

1973
01:56:17,600 --> 01:56:20,380
 And then Georgia and Ole Miss tomorrow night.

1974
01:56:20,800 --> 01:56:22,140
 Great high school football.

1975
01:56:22,320 --> 01:56:24,900
 Oh, by the way, don't forget the scoreboard show.

1976
01:56:25,400 --> 01:56:28,760
 Again, with Blair and James, they do a great job.

1977
01:56:29,620 --> 01:56:32,560
 Central Clay at Dester, Muscle Shoals at Oxford.

1978
01:56:33,100 --> 01:56:35,100
 Go see a high school game tonight.

1979
01:56:35,320 --> 01:56:37,260
 Take a jacket with you.

1980
01:56:37,640 --> 01:56:40,780
 Have a fun and safe football weekend.

1981
01:56:41,120 --> 01:56:44,420
 Got a feeling James, the guy, got to be working on some late-night pizza tonight here in the studio.

1982
01:56:44,520 --> 01:56:47,820
 That's going to take care of us for now on behalf of BB, Greg, James, Blair, the entire crew here.

1983
01:56:48,200 --> 01:56:50,020
 Harold Buck, thank you so much for your time today.

1984
01:56:50,080 --> 01:56:52,180
 Let's do it again Monday, noon to 2 for the Bumult Bug Show.

1985
01:56:52,240 --> 01:56:54,300
 Back here on Sports Radio, 93.9 to score.
