Speaker 1 (00:13):
Welcome back to a long time Monday edition of The
Morning Kick Off. Mike Harball harts the World's Strongest Man
at w W Hall of Famer thinking, Mark Henry, and
of course we got our guy Khalil behind the board.
I want to thank everybody that came and hung out
with us over at our pregame show at Hook Him Hangout,
Cam Parker, Mark Henry and myself. We had a great time.

(00:36):
It was packed. There was a lot of great folks there.
This weekend, we'll be at Twin Peaks, the South location
off of Stassiny. If you want to come out and
hang out with us for the pregame show. Mark Henry's
going to tell you something that he has going on
this weekend, and you can go out and support that
as well.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
But I wanted to get into.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
This game, Mark, because there's a lot to unravel when
you start to look at this Texas football game. You
talked about it a little bit before the show. You
talked a lot about the hype train and how we
were walking around with these burnt orange goggles on to

(01:19):
a lot of the success that Texas was able to
bring to the table. But one thing that I want
to continue to try to emphasize. I guess you would
say is Georgia is still the threshold in which people
are trying.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
To get to.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
Everybody knew that Alabama was the standard for quite some time.
Kirby Smart recruits well, Kirby Smart's team plays well. Yes,
they've had some little they've had some games where they
didn't look great, but they're still the standard. They recruit well,

(01:57):
they've been doing this for some time now. And that
football team came and punched Texas in the face, and
that was the first time Texas had been challenged like that.
And yes there was some adversity, but I'm not giving
up on the squad. Like people just all just started

(02:20):
losing there. Oh my god, look at this team. They
don't even look ready. They fought too, They fought, they
came back, there's no doubt about it. They got punched
in the face. Oh yeah, everybody do. And it's how
you react to the punch in the face. And I
thought Texas reacted. Now, it's not where you wanted to be.

(02:43):
At the end of the day. You took that l
in front of one hundred and five thousand fans, which,
by the way, out standing to show up and be loud.
We knew there was gonna be a lot of stars
and celebrities at this game.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
Game day was here. I mean it was everything hard.
Everybody's gonna get punched in the face. And yes, we
were on the hype train. And I feel just like
the Doctor Pepper commercial, quarterback running back goes down, scared,
stop the.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
Train, everybody get off, everybody off.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
That's exactly how I felt.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
But for all of these haters on social media calling
for Queen Years, guys, dial it back. Tween Years is
a quarterback. Quinn is good. Quinn played very cautious and
he didn't step up like he has in big games.
Pass But that does not make him a bad quarterback.

(03:42):
Archer is gonna have his time. Stop it like Queen
Years is the guy for right now. Uh, he's gonna
be drafted.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
Nothing has changed.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
The only thing that's changed is the fact that that
is not gonna happen on Saturdays. He'll be playing on Sundays.
That's the only thing that's gonna change. The University of
Texas Longhorns were not prepared to fight, and the next

(04:14):
time you have to sometimes take that all you have
to sometimes fall flat on your face to realize that
there's levels to it. Texas realized they can raise their
level because they've been playing. They were number one, but
they realized there is another there's another threshold, and they

(04:36):
will be up for that for the rest of the season.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
So here, here's where I am with this team right now. Right,
you sit here and you look at the stats, and
a lot of times I'm telling you all right now,
I've talked about this numerous times. Sometimes the stats are
lying to what you see. This was a dominant performance
by Georgia. Yeah, geord just came out and performed at

(05:02):
an elite level. How elite were they? Well, they held
Texas And this is with Quinn your sacks because he
had he got sacked five times. Arch got sacked twice.
That makes seven sacks. They ended up at a one
point one yard per carry Texas did. That's not Texas

(05:28):
football coach Stark likes to run the football. Everything's off
of play action. And if you take that away from them,
what does that make you? It makes you one dimensional.
That means that you were going to get rushed by
their top player, and he showed up. He came off
the edge and brought it for them. Jalen Walker number eleven,

(05:52):
if you don't remember him, his name.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
Entire time.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
He had three year feel he had three sacks and
eight solo tackles.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
He brought it.

Speaker 3 (06:08):
And that guy is gonna get drafted high, high high
guys in the first round top ten. Yeah, like Colin Simmons.
I think he'll be one of those guys Anthony Hill,
but they weren't.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
On Saturday, Texas rushed for a net net total of
twenty nine yards.

Speaker 3 (06:32):
That's that's boy, that's unbelievable.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
Yeah. You you can't. You can't win like that. I mean,
let's just be honest, guys, there's no way that that happens.
And that's from obviously the the the sacks that are
included in there with seven sacks.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
Coach Harge, this is your coach Harge for the time.
What do you do in the first at the end
of that first quarter, what do you do to fix
stop the bleeding?

Speaker 1 (07:08):
Well, I'm letting that clock run a lot. I'm bleeding
that clock. Because it looked like Texas. Everything that Texas
was trying to do, they had an answer for. You
try to get the back out the backfield. They had
someone in the flat, you try to get across the middle.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
They had someone there.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
They were playing their safeties deep because they weren't going
to give up the big play. They wanted you to
take the dinks and the dunks because they felt like
they were better to tackle. When they were coming to
the line. You would see them right before the snap
they would shift. So you're playing center, you're calling what
you see, and right before the snap, everything changed and

(07:50):
your eyes are different. You talked about it earlier about
this probably one of the worst games that we've seen
Kelvin Banks play.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
He was going up against the pro.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
Just talking about that against pro that's gonna be something
we gonna see for a long time. Yeah, exactly the
next ten to twelve years, we'll see that matchup.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
The thing that I continue to try to figure out
is the rhythm and the timing of everything.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
The rhythm and the timing of everything was disrupted. Uh.
Quinn wasn't clean.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
There were some times he could have moved around in
the pocket, he could have stepped up. You mentioned that,
slid one way or another, made a throw, got the
ball out of his hand.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
But he didn't look comfortable at all. The entire year,
he was comfort. He never looked comfortable at all.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
And coach Start talked about Quinn and his play.

Speaker 4 (08:45):
You know, you know, you know a lot of a
lot of things that you know, seeing him do, I
wasn't quite seeing that, you know, kind of his eyes
were really needed to be and and so that's why
I feel like he just needed to kind of reset
and the group at half time to get fusally kind.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
Of getting reset.

Speaker 4 (09:05):
And like I said, I thought he competed to stay
off the second half.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
And the reason why everybody was losing their mind is
because they ended up bringing in Arch Manning to finish
out the half, and everybody thought, oh, it's gonna be
Arch the rest of the way. Well, Arch was disrupted too.
He fumbled, he got hit, he got sacked. I mean,
there was things that were happening during the game that
were kind of offsetting in the first half. Thanked to

(09:31):
my man Nash. In the first half, Quinn was at
forty seven percent. He had seventeen yards passing, zero touchdowns,
one interception, in three sacks and a fumble. In the
second half, Quinn came out, He threw the ball sixty
three percent, completed sixty three of his sixty three percent
of his passes, one hundred and ninety four yards, two tds,

(09:54):
two sacks, and a fumble.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
There was things that he did. There was improvement.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
Yes, he came back out and I met in the
very first half. I was like, what is my guy doing? Like,
what what does he seeing? He did not look comfortable.
There were throws that were there, yeah, and he didn't
make them.

Speaker 3 (10:15):
And some of that is nerves, but also some of
it is opprehension about failure.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
And Quinn should be.

Speaker 3 (10:23):
Past that at his level right now, this current educational
level in football, he should be. He should be beyond
throw it at their feet if you feel like he
did that a.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
Couple of times.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
And I don't think it was on purpose throwing it
at their feet. I just think he was just not
in a good space at all and it was tough
for him and it was tough to watch because our
expectations coming into this game was this is going to
be big game Quinn.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
And I thought that the offensive line that was the
biggest challenge that they've had this year. Man, Yeah, and
this is this was great though that it happened now, Yeah,
absolutely that they can see that there is another level
to it, and Banks included, yeah, you know he gave
up sacks for the first time in a couple of years. Yep,

(11:20):
so now you're back to the drawing board. Hey, these guys,
those guys kept fighting. Texas offensive line is going to
have to learn to fight and box like a boxing match.
And that's funny that you say that, because that's what
he said this week was going to be. This past
week was supposed to be a boxing match. Well, we

(11:41):
got our nose bloody, and now they got to try
to figure out what's next.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
But we took a knee, we took a stand today.
But but here's the we didn't get knocked out. One
thing that showed up was that defense. And John Barron
played this behind off. I went five one too, I
said Makoba. I said Baron, I need a tap to
get one too. Then y'all would have got a text.
But here's John Day talking about, Hey, sometimes we got

(12:08):
to pick each other up.

Speaker 5 (12:10):
It's like if you had a household, you know, if
if somebody's not if somebody's not doing some right, just
just to pick somebody up. And you see that we
picked them up, and then the office is able to
get things rolling, and that's what the team's all about.
You know, the team's not just defense teams, not just
off Sometimes we slack office picks us up and that's
and then that's just the brother you have to have.
But you know, we have everything rolling together, special teams

(12:31):
and things like that. I wear a dangerous team. So
we're just gonna we're gonna get right back on the
right track and everything's gonna be okay.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
Yeah, yeah, I have no doubt about it, no doubt
about it.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
You train is not stop, guys. It slowed down a.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
Little, It got off the tracks a little bit.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
Yeah, we we got on the wrong track.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
We didn't have backing up, you know, didn't have enough
coal in there.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
Hey man, how old are you? I know, what's coal?

Speaker 4 (12:59):
Train?

Speaker 2 (13:00):
You never might have some coll up in there though
you might have some coll in it cars or some
steam or some steam. We gotta get something going hard.
Come on now, join us in the modern age. I
am old. I am old, but yeah I'm listen.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
Get over to AM thirteen hundred the zone and cast
your vote right now, because there there is a lot
of people on social media that are losing their mind.
So we put out there what is your temperature gauge
right now? Dang, I gotta spell that better, your temperature gauge.
For Longhorn fans, we still got it, not feeling it
or men. Ninety two point nine percent believe Texas still

(13:38):
has it. And I believe that there will be a
rematch between the Georgia Bulldogs and your Texas Longhorns.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
And let's do it in Atlanta where it means something,
Let's go it just means more.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
Coming up next the Hard Knocks Life segment, I'm going
to talk about the quarterback position once again right here
on sports Radio AM thirteen.
