Speaker 1 (00:06):
It's the craig Way Show with the voice of the
Texas Longhorns and Hall of Fame Broadcasting Craig Way on
a Monday. I know it's labor Day, but we're here
to labor for you. Let us feel your labor pains.
We have our own, so we can do that while
you relax. Glad to have you with us this afternoon. Longhorns,
(00:30):
of course win the season opener fifty two nothing over
Colorado State.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Pretty much do what they need to do.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
They only scored seven points in the first quarter because
they had a penalty that cost them some yardage on
the first drive, and they had to punt then after
the touchdown drive to make it seven to nothing on
the second possession, and that was the Trey Weisner three
yard run to make it seven to nothing. Got another stop,
(00:58):
and then on the next possession is when Quinn Yure's
arm was hit going forward. It was an interception, but
the log Worns were able to get things turned around
in every occasion and then just blew the game open
with twenty four points in the second quarter, added fourteen
more in the third and seven and the fourth, and
a whole bunch of guys got on the field a
whole lot of guys. Here's from the news conference heard
(01:22):
earlier today here on sports radio AM thirteen hundred. Zone
head coach Steve Sarkisian with his opening statement at the
news conference, and you'll hear him talk about the abundance
of players who got in the act.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
I want to give a shout out to our fans,
our students, Longhorn Nation.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
That was a great turnout.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
You know, we two thirty kick August thirty first is
not easy on anybody. So from the the you know,
walking Beevile Boulevard, to you know, getting in the state
to seeing how many people stayed till the end of
seeing the eyes that was that was really cool, and
so I want to give them a shout out. I
thought from a team perspective, especially having a chance to
(02:02):
see a few of these other first games of the
season for some other people. Man, I was proud of
our team of just playing a clean football game. And
we didn't have personal foul penalties, we didn't have twelve
on the field, we didn't have ten on the field.
Our guys played a clean game, and I think that's
a credit to the staff. I think that's a credit
to the leadership of our guys. Just some highlights coming
(02:24):
from the game. You know, five players scored their first
touchdown for Texas Saturday, which was a cool thing. You know,
eight different players ran the football for Saturday. Twenty eight
players different players had to tackle for a Saturday. Thirty
one players played for the first game for the University
of Texas Saturday. Fifty one players in the first half played.
(02:44):
Seventy seven total players played in the ballgame. I think total,
twelve different guys caught passes ten in the first half.
So I think it just speaks to the depth that
we have on the team, and it was great that
a lot of guys got to play. That was the
goal going in, but as a coach, it was for
me it was to see them play a clean game
in a first game is always is always challenging, So
(03:07):
you know that that was that was that. You know,
obviously moving forward to Michigan, a ton of respect for
this program, for this team. You know, you don't you
don't go to three straight college football playoffs if you
don't have a great program, and they've got a great program.
Obviously capping it off last year being national champs. You know,
I think about some things about this team. They're forty
(03:28):
one and three in their last forty four games, they've
won sixteen games in a row, they've won twenty three
straight home games. So these guys know how to win.
You can see it in their style of play. They
play with a great deal of confidence. They believe in
one another. So it's a heck of a challenge for
our team. But this is why you come to Texas
is to is to play in games like this and
(03:49):
to think this is the first time in the history
of college football that that Texas is going to play
Michigan in the regular season is pretty awesome and pretty
humbling to to be that, and so we're definitely looking
forward to the opportunity.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
So that was opening comments there, and then it went
into some conversation about Michigan. First of all, Sarka asked
about that overing defense and preparing his own team for that.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
I think, first of all, I got I have a
great deal respect for Wink Martindale, their defensive coordinator. You know,
he and I worked together way back in two thousand
and four with the Oakland Raiders, and uh, he's a
great defensive mind. He's very creative, and and I think
a lot of times people think, oh, they just blitz
and it's it's it's there there, you know, they're reckless
or something.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
They're not.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
There's a there's a method to all of the badness
that they do. They're very sound from a coverage standpoint. Uh,
They're they're really good defensive front, with some elite players
on the defensive front, but also some elite players in
the back end too.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
And so when you when you when you put.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Together scheme with great players, uh, and then they play
with a great deal of confidence because of who they've
been over the year.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
That's that's the challenge, you know.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
And so you know, you just start thinking about all
the great defenses that that have ever come along the way.
You know, again, they got good schemes, got good coaches,
got he got pride in that defensive style. But yet
they've got some elite players. You know, they got first
round draft picks on that defense too. So it's a
heck of a challenge for us.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Well, one of the challenges also is what Michigan likes
to do with its quarterbacks as well. And you'll you know,
see different guys out there, including Alex Orgie, who is
a very very versatile threat of a guy. And there
was there was a nice little bit of you might say,
Tata Tate a give and take on this whole deal
(05:41):
about preparing for Alex Orgie, as Sark was asked about
whether you know who would be playing him on the
scout team and how would he prepare for him, things
like that very similar.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
You know, this guy is a problem because you have
to treat him like a runner.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
You know, he's got size, he's got speed, he can
change the math on you quickly when you start adding
into the quarterback runs. But yet the arm talent is
there to where he can affect you, especially down the field.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
And if you.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Remember in that game last year at Bama, Milroe made
a couple of big time throws down the field to
create explosive plays. And that's something in this game for
us that's going to be critical. Yeah, I mean, clearly
we've got to we've got to do great stop in
the run, and we need to be better at stopping
the run than we were a week ago. But we
surely don't want to do that at the expense of
giving up explosive plays in the past game. And I
(06:34):
think that's that fine line that we have to walk
going into Saturday.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Yeah, that's that's an important element to consider as well,
all all of those things with what alex Orgy may
be able to do and the problems that he can
create for an opposing defense.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Cameron Williams, by the way.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Was named the SEC Co Offensive Lineman of Week in
the SEC honors that were passed out over this past
weekend the SEC Football Player of the Week honors, and
those players included on offense at quarterback. Diego Pavia, the
(07:17):
Vanderbilt quarterback. He had been the quarterback at New Mexico
State remember when they broke the long Bowl drought, transferred
to Vanderbilt and he accounted for two hundred ninety six
yards total offense and three touchdowns in their win over
Virginia Tech. Carson Beck of Georgia named the CO Offensive
Player of the Week. He was twenty three to thirty
three for two seventy eight and two touchdowns. On the
(07:37):
defensive side, Kean Sab defensive back for Alabama and made
his Crimson Tide debut and he had two interceptions in
the game. Peyton Woodring, the Georgia place kicker, had ten
total points, had a thirty yard field goal, a career
long fifty five yard field goal, and added four extra
points as well. Tyler Keltner of Oklahoma, a co player
(08:03):
of the Week as well.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
He's a red shirt senior, made his debut.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
He had field goals of fifty to forty two and
twenty four yards and all six of his extra points.
On the offensive line, he had Fernando Carmona from Arkansas
and Cam Williams with the offense, posting five hundred and
forty five yards a total offense. So Williams Garners the
first ever Texas Honor SEC Player of the Week honor
(08:30):
a co offensive Lineman player of the Week, and Sark
was asked about Cam Williams and his progression and how
hard he's worked and how far he has come.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
They're really proud of Cam.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
I've been proud of Cam about his journey, you know,
being year three in our program, from where he's come from,
as far as he completely changed his body composition, you know,
from how he was built when he got here to
where he is now. The athleticism that he possesses, I think,
the confidence and understanding in our schemes and the way
(09:02):
he's playing. You know, we always do a good, bad
and ugly every Monday morning with the team, and I
highlighted a couple of different times of him being on
the backside and getting to the second level getting the linebackers.
Even our own players were kind of like, wow, you know,
they were kind of an off watching a guy that
big move the way that he was moving.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
So really proud of him.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
The fact that you know, we were returning four or
five starters on.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
The old line and in week one him being the
one new.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Starter become an sec offensive lineman of the week, I
just think speaks volumes to his development. And again it's
his credit to him, it's credit to coach Beckton in
the weight room. I think it's a credit to coach
Flood and just the again, the development that he's had,
not only on the field but off the field.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
It is time here now.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Even though we are talking about a fifty two to
nothing win that was pretty much as dominant as the
score would suggest, doesn't mean they can't improved, obviously, and
you always hear coaches talk about that, and the Bigs
improved them being from week one to week two. So
so Ark was asked about things that they have to
coach up with the football team.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
This week, we had a.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Few mas in our perimeter blocking offensively, you know, we
had a couple snap infractions, which was obviously uncharacteristic. Jake
Major's guys played so much, had a couple snap infractions there.
You know, we had the turnover right there at the
twenty five yard line, and I'd love Quinn to make,
you know, better decisions in that situation of the game.
A third and thirteen, so just possessing the ball and
(10:28):
getting three points out of it, you know, Uh, it
was hard to sometimes to evaluate everything on special teams.
They they you know, they fair caught every kickoff, so
trying to evaluate that we only had one punt, trying
to evaluate that and then their style of their punt
game where they were rolling the ball to us was
a tough evaluation too. And so we're continuing to push
(10:50):
those guys in practice on special teams to make sure
that we're prepared because Michigan is an excellent special teams
football team and we're going to need to play at
a high level on that and that phase of it.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Okay, So there's that there's this unique thing about the
Longhorns having played a non conference G five team.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Last year it was Rice, this year it's Colorado State.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
No FCS programs, it's just you know, a group of
five and opening with one of those then having the
landmark road test in week two.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Last year was Alabama. This year it's Michigan.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
And while scheduling things have been put in place for
some time, Sark was asked about that about there is
it a formula that works out really well? And do
you duplicate things from what went into the preparation of
the Bama week and all that stuff about playing the
G five school at home in week one.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
And then one of the.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Hallmark programs of all of college football last year Alabama,
this year Michigan.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
On the road, we have I think it's forty six
guys that are kind to be traveling this week with
us that we're at Tuscaloosa a year ago, and so
you know we've got you know, that's about half the
guys that will be on the trip.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
We're in Tuscaloosa a year ago. And I think one of.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
The keys is that is one you have to have
great poison composure when you're on the road in these
types of environments.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
You know this is.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
A game of emotion, there's no question, but we need
to make sure that we don't get emotional in the arena.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
That's the first part.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Two is playing with a real sense of confidence and
belief in who we are, in our style of play.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
We know this is a heck of a challenge. We
know this will be a four quarter game.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
But stay in the course, especially when adversity strikes, because
it will strike, you know people, forget last year in
the fourth quarter we were behind in that game and
then we ended up scoring twenty one points and we
ended up finishing that game on a seven minute drive
to close the game out. And so stay in the course,
keeping our poise, keeping our composure, having a real sense
(12:58):
of belief, playing as well one as a team and
pulling for one another. You know, there's going to be
over one hundred thousand people that want us to play bad,
and we're seeing about a hundred of us that want
us to play good, and so we need to lean
into that hundred and make sure that we're as strong
as we can be.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Thoughts there from long Rune head coach Steve Sarkisian, we'll
hear more from him later on in the program, talking
about the twelve team playoff and how this particular type
of matchup is affected by that sort of thing, Also
about dealing with the environment of going up to Michigan,
and some other topics as well. So we'll have all
(13:36):
of that and more coming up. But up next inconceivable
for a Labor Day Monday afternoon. We'll do that when
we continue right here on sports Radio AM thirteen under
the Zone and the iHeartRadio app.
It's the craig Way Show with the voice of the
Texas Longhorns and Hall of Fame Broadcasting Craig Way on
a Monday. I know it's labor Day, but we're here
to labor for you. Let us feel your labor pains.
We have our own, so we can do that while
you relax. Glad to have you with us this afternoon. Longhorns,
(00:30):
of course win the season opener fifty two nothing over
Colorado State.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Pretty much do what they need to do.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
They only scored seven points in the first quarter because
they had a penalty that cost them some yardage on
the first drive, and they had to punt then after
the touchdown drive to make it seven to nothing on
the second possession, and that was the Trey Weisner three
yard run to make it seven to nothing. Got another stop,
(00:58):
and then on the next possession is when Quinn Yure's
arm was hit going forward. It was an interception, but
the log Worns were able to get things turned around
in every occasion and then just blew the game open
with twenty four points in the second quarter, added fourteen
more in the third and seven and the fourth, and
a whole bunch of guys got on the field a
whole lot of guys. Here's from the news conference heard

head coach Steve Sarkisian with his opening statement at the

or something.

Major's guys played so much, had a couple snap infractions there.
You know, we had the turnover right there at the
twenty five yard line, and I'd love Quinn to make,
you know, better decisions in that situation of the game.
A third and thirteen, so just possessing the ball and
(10:28):
getting three points out of it, you know, Uh, it
was hard to sometimes to evaluate everything on special teams.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
Last year it was Rice, this year it's Colorado State.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
No FCS programs, it's just you know, a group of
five and opening with one of those then having the
landmark road test in week two.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Last year was Alabama. This year it's Michigan.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
And while scheduling things have been put in place for
some time, Sark was asked about that about there is
it a formula that works out really well? And do
you duplicate things from what went into the preparation of
the Bama week and all that stuff about playing the
G five school at home in week one.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
And then one of the.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Hallmark programs of all of college football last year Alabama,
this year Michigan.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
On the road, we have I think it's forty six
guys that are kind to be traveling this week with
us that we're at Tuscaloosa a year ago, and so
you know we've got you know, that's about half the
guys that will be on the trip.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
We're in Tuscaloosa a year ago. And I think one of.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
The keys is that is one you have to have
great poison composure when you're on the road in these
types of environments.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
You know this is.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
A game of emotion, there's no question, but we need
to make sure that we don't get emotional in the arena.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
That's the first part.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Two is playing with a real sense of confidence and
belief in who we are, in our style of play.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
We know this is a heck of a challenge. We
know this will be a four quarter game.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
But stay in the course, especially when adversity strikes, because
it will strike, you know people, forget last year in
the fourth quarter we were behind in that game and
then we ended up scoring twenty one points and we
ended up finishing that game on a seven minute drive
to close the game out. And so stay in the course,
keeping our poise, keeping our composure, having a real sense
(12:58):
of belief, playing as well one as a team and
pulling for one another. You know, there's going to be
over one hundred thousand people that want us to play bad,
and we're seeing about a hundred of us that want
us to play good, and so we need to lean
into that hundred and make sure that we're as strong
as we can be.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Thoughts there from long Rune head coach Steve Sarkisian, we'll
hear more from him later on in the program, talking
about the twelve team playoff and how this particular type
of matchup is affected by that sort of thing, Also
about dealing with the environment of going up to Michigan,
and some other topics as well. So we'll have all
(13:36):
of that and more coming up. But up next inconceivable
for a Labor Day Monday afternoon. We'll do that when
we continue right here on sports Radio AM thirteen under
the Zone and the iHeartRadio app.
