Speaker 1 (00:01):
This is the best of two Pros and a couple
Joe with Lamar Rings and Rady Win and Jonas Knots
on four Radio.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
So how the hell are we feeling here after a
long holiday weekend? Was it a long holiday weekend?

Speaker 3 (00:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Labor Day, man, never long enough. Yeah. But I like
being on the radio. Yeah, I like being back on air. Yeah,
it's always fun to be back on. A ton of people,
a ton of people acknowledging the show man a ton
a ton.

Speaker 4 (00:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
I listened to Two Pros and a Cup of Joe.
I listened to pro Hey, I listened to you guys
every day. It's kind of wild.

Speaker 4 (00:41):
And they say always say it like that, right.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
And they say Jonas's name a lot, which was weird
on God Prose, Two Pros and a Cup of Joe's
Like that's Australia, right, that's how they say it.

Speaker 5 (00:53):
There is some confusion, okay, oh for those out there listening, Yep,
his name is Joe.

Speaker 4 (01:00):
It's not Joe. We don't call him Joe for short.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
Yeah, don't it is Jonas, I mean Jonass.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
And if we're going to be truthful most of the yeah,
it's more like that. I haven't used joan ass in
like six months though, Yeah, than a while. But it's
football season now, so it could come out. Yeah, could
could get a little bit more, dicelved Could we just
get right to the top, Duke well, no, not Duke,
oh Prime.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
I mean, there were some big storylines.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
This weekend, man, I think right up at the top
of the list. And I don't even know if it's
close the performance by Colorado and Deon Sanders and that
team and Brady, I know you were there up close
and personal, and you guys are just sweating your asses
off there in Fort Worth and a hundred Apparently that
not a problem for Travis Hunter though. I mean he
can play how many snaps go, you know, offense, defense

(01:51):
doesn't matter. That was impressive from the opening drive all
the way through to the end. That was as impressive
a performance of anybody's.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
Coach was so cold for his comments too, like, hey,
do you know hundred could play all four quarters? Our
guys they couldn't.

Speaker 5 (02:12):
Here's what's a bit surprising is Travis Hunter was the
best player in his high school class. Like, let's just
like for some reason, there's this disconnect of like, man,
these guys coming from HBC used to go hold on
a second, Travis Hunter was the number one overall he
was in his high school class. He chose to go
with Deanna Jackson State. So for people who and by

(02:35):
the way, Chador, I think was a four star recruit
at quarterback. So for those of you who haven't followed
like college football, high school recruit and all that stuff. Uh,
these two guys have been stars. Yeah, like as they
would say, they've been him. Now they get the opportunity
to showcase their talents at CU on a Power five

(02:57):
at a bigger level, and you see what they're capable of.

Speaker 4 (03:00):
But I thought that game was example of two things.

Speaker 5 (03:05):
The first is Colorado forced TCU to play their game,
and they put TCU in positions where their backers had
to cover Dylan Edwards in the flat, couldn't do it
early on, They couldn't tackle early on, the way they
spread the field out, the way they got their wide
receivers matched up on backers.

Speaker 4 (03:24):
And safeties, and then mixing in a couple of deep shots.

Speaker 5 (03:27):
Chador's phenomenal who's accurate, did well versus pressure, bought time
at times. But if that game doesn't get started the
way it got started, the defense forces a three and out.
Offense drives right down the field touchdown. Next series, TCU
starts to respond, defense gets an interception in the red zone.

(03:49):
If it doesn't start like that and Colorado doesn't take control,
I'm just telling you it's a different feeling when you have.

Speaker 4 (03:57):
That roster turnover, you have all the.

Speaker 5 (03:59):
Things that that Deon Sanders did this offseason. You know
players they believe to a degree, but that you need
to see the execution and the results in order to
really believe.

Speaker 4 (04:11):
And I said this at halftime of the game once
they were up seventeen fourteen.

Speaker 5 (04:16):
At halftime, there are a lot of players who they
might have believed to a degree, but there was still
some doubt.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
At halftime, there was no doubt. They're like, oh, this
is working, like this is we're gonna win.

Speaker 5 (04:28):
Like they's really really started to believe after winning the game.

Speaker 4 (04:31):
Now that momentum builds, that belief builds.

Speaker 5 (04:34):
And that's what's going to be the scary thing I
think for Nebraska this week Carorado State the next week
is you've got a team that is a quarterback in
Shador Sanders, an unbelievable playmaker in Travis Hunter, some other
pieces as well. Weaver Horne Junior. The wide receivers are
really good. Edward's the running back. But as this team
continues to move forward, they're gonna continue to believe in

(04:57):
themselves even more and more. And that's what's scary for
other TIS Tames is like, they're not gonna They're gonna
walk into that situation going, oh man, I don't think
we can beat these guys. And meanwhile, c He's gonna
feel invincible. They're gonna feel like they could beat anyone.
It's gonna be fun to watch, man, it really is.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
I mean, first and foremost, it's crazy that you beat
a team that was in the national championship game, like
not too long ago. No, technically they were there. I
mean they were that.

Speaker 4 (05:22):
And let me let me tell you that team looks
like a shell of its olf.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
That's that's fine, But that team was in the national
title game not too long ago. That program right now
and you're at home. You got a home opener. That's
that's packed wall to wall with crazed fans waiting to
see you spank ass of the Colorado Buffs that have

(05:47):
been a as spankable team for a little while now.
Now with everything that Q just said, I will say this,
I don't know that the defense got that memo of
we can do this, because they need to be a
lot better.

Speaker 5 (06:05):
I mean, they got a couple of turnovers and they
got off the field.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
Maybe if Travis Hunter doesn't make that phenomenal grab and
take the ball off the hands of that receiver in
that rid zone, that rid zone drive, I'm not sure
how the game ends, but he did make that play.
But their defensive front was was lacking. Their their linebackers

(06:33):
were lacking. Their defense was lacking, sorry shallow Sanders twenty
one lacking. They were lacking on defense. And so to me,
if you're if you're expecting Shador and and and the
rest of the crew to have to put up those
type of numbers at this level of college football, I

(06:58):
don't know how sustainable that is. I just that's what
I for me out out of the obvious that Shador
Sanders proved that if there was any doubt that he
could play at this level, he showed you guys, there's
no doubt about In fact, I mean, he's got to
be in the conversation outside of how phenomenal Kleb Williams
is playing Shador Sanders has to now be in the

(07:20):
conversation properly for a runner for the Heisman. But this offense,
and they look good, but if you get up against
a team that that can slow down your offense, you're
going to have to slow down your opponent's offense. And
then listen, Prime Prime. He addressed it. He said it.

(07:40):
He said that they could do a lot better if
they can improve. If you're saying they can't improve, that's bad.
But if they can improve it the defense can improve,
then this Colorado team can can be a team that
has a winning record for this season and qualify for
a bowl game. But they're going to have to do
better upfront on defense. They're going to have their front

(08:02):
eight is going to have to do better if they're
going to have a chance to be able to really
make a real run this season.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
You know, I was kind of interested to see and
I was hoping they would have come up short the
first touchdown, which was that little swing route they threw
to Edwards, who, by the way, he just had four touchdowns,
but that cut, you know, because the performance of everybody
else was so impressive, So that was a third and
goal from the four. Had they not scored there and
it was fourth and goal, do you think Dion would

(08:30):
have sent the offense out there on fourth and goal
to go for it? He would have settled for a
field goal in that spot.

Speaker 5 (08:35):
It's an interesting question because remember Peelly the kicker, he
had never kicked before. Yeah, and so then the first
time they did send the field goal team out, I
mean the timing was off.

Speaker 4 (08:46):
The kick literally hit the to the stomach. It was
so late. It's like probably would have just went forward
at that point.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
Yeah, I just I look at it and I go, man.
I would have loved to have seen what the philosophy.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
They would have gone for. I do too, because first
game is fort Man Penn statements two in a like
in a row. They they bench team and put in
another kicker like a first game. And listen Penn State's defense,
and I guess we'll talk about that at some point too.
Penn State's defensive line look trash too. I don't know

(09:19):
if his first game, like Clemson defense looked trash too,
like there was some really fine LSU defense looked trash too,
like there was some trash looking defenses.

Speaker 5 (09:30):
This weekend, Well, hold on, hold on, hold FSU is
really really good this year.

Speaker 4 (09:36):
They are like they're gonna be good.

Speaker 5 (09:37):
They cool unless you're like, unless you follow Duke, like
you don't understand probably a lot of the pieces that
they've got. Mike Elcho's done a hell of a job.
Riley Leonard their quarterback, He's gonna be a guy. We
talk about the next level, and they've kind of been
building towards this. I think that the thing for Clemson
is like we just have this expectation that they're the
Clemson that we saw four years ago.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
I think I think we made the point. I think
we made the point last week that there's a strong
chance that this just is not the type of caliber
of Clemson that it was in the era that they
had Trevor Lawrence and Deshaun Watson and all those guys,
and just that they don't they don't look the same,
they don't look like that that once dominant team that

(10:19):
you just knew it was going to be hard to
beat them and just stay look pedestrian a little bit.

Speaker 5 (10:25):
I mean, it's almost like if you look at the
turn of Clemson's dominance and what it's it's like when
NIL the transfer portal hit it impacted it feels like
Clemson the most. I mean, for real, So tell me
tell me another program that hasn't really been able to
compete quite as well, and it's it's odd man like,

(10:48):
it's I mean, I'm not sure what the conclusion is
to that statement, but if you think about NIL now,
it's been abround for a couple of years, the transfer
portal now for a few years, like Clemson, seems to
be the program at least, just based off one game
that's been impacted by it the most.

Speaker 3 (11:03):
Davoswiney was one of the strongest opponents of NIL correct
like he was, he was one of the most vocal
about the issue and pay to play. I think he
even brought up, you know, I don't know how much
longer I'm going to be here based on what this
has turned into, and so to see how they've struggled
since then kind of interesting. But that was a fun weekend, man,

(11:23):
fun weekend of college football.

Speaker 4 (11:25):
It was awesome.

Speaker 5 (11:25):
It was awesome. And look the NFL has coming up next.
I think they feel so different. It's so hard to explain,
but like, this weekend was one where you just kind
of enjoy college football, and I understand there's fans of both.
There's fans who are just fans of either NFL or
college football. There is a distinct difference between the two,
Like I feel like watching it, being around it, the
pagistry behind it. It's just a different presentation of the game.

(11:48):
And I'm not saying like one's better than the other.

Speaker 4 (11:51):
I'm not.

Speaker 5 (11:52):
I think they're both awesome because they're both so different,
Like it almost feels like there's more of a I
don't know us. I think being over in Ireland for
that Notre Dame Navy game, like you get a sense
of college football being a little closer to like what
it feels like for an English Premier League team because
the chance and the fans and the bands and just

(12:13):
all these different traditions and things.

Speaker 4 (12:14):
Whereas the NFL is just like an awesome product.

Speaker 5 (12:17):
It's the best players in the world, right and the
way we're presented I think is fantastic.

Speaker 4 (12:22):
But it's just it's such a cool deal.

Speaker 5 (12:24):
And I know, you know LeVar was back in Happy Valley, man,
I mean you obviously get a sense of it when
you go back right.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
Oh man, the energy was electric. It was phenomenal and
Happy Valley. Well I haven't. It has a night game too,
So they were some day oh day, Oh I was,
I was. I was game prepping, so I wasn't really
in it like that, but I mean it was. It

(12:53):
was very It was very encouraging because let me tell
you something, the Blue White Game the last couple of years.
Did I go to this year's Blue White Game? I
think I did. No, I didn't even go to the game.
I was there, but I didn't even go to the
game because it rained. But there's been nobody there. And
we used to have like sixty thousand plus people will
attend our spring games. And it just wasn't anybody there.

(13:16):
So I'm like, man, are we losing like the excitement
for supporting and coming to Penn State games. The answer
is hell to the no. It was crazy up there
on Saturday. Man. Even when I was talking trash to
one year and I was like, cue, it's going to
be just as many Iowa people in Iowa as it
is Iowa. Be it might be sixty forty, it was

(13:38):
like ninety ten, ninety five five Iowa. But they had
potential and I know we might touch on that at
some point. Maybe not, but you know it's a They
had a rough start, but they got a dope ass quarterback. Boy.
I'll tell you that.

Speaker 4 (13:58):
Whoa.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
We gotta we have a franchise. We got a franchise guy.
He looked good. He's got a cannon for an arm
and you get that type of You get that type
of guy. And the stadium they was doing the introductions,
the stadium went nuts when they said his name. And
you get that type of guy, and he comes in
and he produces, and he could have played a lot better.

(14:21):
There was actually there was some real critical drops or
he might have had two more touchdowns on top of
I think he had four on the day. He might
have had six touchdowns if the guys don't drop, you know,
the balls the way that they did. It was like
two critical drops in the game. But I mean, dude
was reading the defenses. He was seeing where the pressures

(14:42):
were coming from. They the old line was letting him
down in pass protection. He was like clean in the pocket.
He was cool and clean, and he stepped up, stepped around,
stepped out, delivered the ball. I mean one time they
got him, it was a sack. It was going to
be a sack. The dude's arm is so strong. He
still threw that bad boy out to the UH to

(15:04):
the Flair pass and he should have been caught.

Speaker 4 (15:07):
Dude.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
Dude was so shocked that the ball got to him
as quickly as he did that he dropped it. I mean,
he was throwing those missiles screens Q and those bad
boys was getting out there lightning fast like stop ball.
Ball's gone defender couldn't even eat up the six seven
yard cushion to get to the kig that caught the

(15:28):
ball because the ball was in his hands so quick.
I said, that's what that's arm talent. That that kid
is special, man. And I'm not gassing him because I'm
a penn stater. I was just he just really like
gives you excitement when you watch how he plays. Pretty cool.

Speaker 5 (15:42):
He's gonna be a top ten pick in two years.
I mean, it's that simple, like I've kind of And
here's the crazy thing about it is we were on
the field last year before their Week one game in
West Lafayette and I watched them warm and watch the
throws like that kid's gonna be that kids me a
first round pick. Like you could just tell there's some
of these kids are such outliers. Travis Hunter outlier. Like

(16:04):
you can tell when he's down there, he's warming up,
he's running. You can tell late in the game he's
running at a faster speed. He's played one hundred and
twenty some snaps. He's running faster routes than the dudes
across the field from him on his same team, and
he's running better than anyone else in the field at
that point.

Speaker 4 (16:20):
Like, there are some.

Speaker 5 (16:21):
Of these players that just stick out, and it's really
easy to tell early on they're going to have an
NFL future.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Errington, and
Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern three am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
So I'm trying to think, what was the worst performance
of the weekend, other than my gambling on college football,
which was.

Speaker 5 (16:48):
Come on, you only show me winners, So all I was,
I'm just saying, all you show me is winners.

Speaker 3 (16:54):
I had one win, okay, and it's it all. And
the one win was a fluke. I bet the over
under the point total in the FSU LSU game, and
then when I went to go send the proof to
Brady Quinn, I accidentally said FSU instead of LSU. So
I couldn't even get that right completely. But that was

(17:15):
my one win. I did like LSU minus one and
a half, and that did not go well.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
They got there. They got man.

Speaker 3 (17:23):
Handled by Florida State in that game, and Brian Kelly,
the head coach of LSU.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
I'm my family. We ain't not winning yet.

Speaker 3 (17:32):
A man born and raised in Cajun country, depending on
how soon after he does an interview or talks with
a peopil at an LSU basketball game, Brian Kelly did
all of a sudden clear up his Cajun accent to
late let his team know about how they performed, how
he coached, and what LSU looked like after that week

(17:53):
one throttling to FSU over the weekend.

Speaker 6 (17:57):
This is a total failure on a coaching standpoint and
a players standpoint that you know, we have to obviously
address and we have to own. I know adversity is
always going to strike it some time in this game,
and this is this is our first real piece of adversity,

(18:17):
if you will, that we have to address, and I'm
confident our guys will and our coaches will.

Speaker 4 (18:24):
Rally in the manner that they need to.

Speaker 6 (18:27):
For some reason, we thought we were somebody else.

Speaker 4 (18:31):
I thought we were the.

Speaker 6 (18:33):
Two time national champion Georgia Bulldogs or something.

Speaker 4 (18:37):
I don't know what we thought, but we were mistaken.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
So he was very clear English and those comments there, Yeah,
there was no all, no whack.

Speaker 3 (18:52):
I'm just wanting to limb here and say, they're probably
not going to be in the top five.

Speaker 5 (18:56):
Oh I don't think they'll be in the top ten,
top twelve, I mean bad.

Speaker 4 (19:02):
Here's here's the tough part.

Speaker 5 (19:04):
It is incredibly difficult and LaVar like I know you
called Penn State West Virginia, but West Virginia is no
layup either just because they're you know, not I guess
scheduled or the betting you know favorite, they're not one of.

Speaker 4 (19:17):
The betting favorites.

Speaker 5 (19:18):
It's not like coming out of the gate that's an
easy deal to deal with a power five in some
cases conference opponent that's not a conference opponent, but still
like another formidable opponent with.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
One neighbor, a neighborly rival.

Speaker 5 (19:33):
So that was I mean, And this game was played
in Orlando, which was essentially It's like when we played
the Sugar Bowl against LSU. I was like, oh, yeah, no,
there's a lot of Notre Dame fans here. Like we
got there it was like ninety ten. I was like,
Holy cow, I forgot all these people just live, you know,
maybe an hour or so away.

Speaker 4 (19:54):
I mean, like those games, that game didn't set up
well for LSU.

Speaker 5 (20:00):
But I'll say this, the issues that LSU had to
me were more coaching than they were their players. Harold
Perkins Junior is one of the best talents as an
edge rusher. They got him playing off the ball as
a linebacker. He was a spy for the majority of
the game. For Jordan Travis, that is a travesty. Like,
as a former quarterback, any time I saw an edge

(20:23):
rusher drop into coverage, yes, I was like, thank god,
this is the stupidest defensive coordinator that you could have.
When you've got such a ridiculous talent and you're like, well, no,
we don't want you get to beat on what he's doing. No,
make let the guy do what he has made to do.
He's made to rush. Quarterbacks get sacked, strip sacks, negative
plays like why would you want to put him anywhere else?

Speaker 4 (20:45):
Like? What puts the most pressure on the offense. It's
when you have to deal with that guy every single play.

Speaker 5 (20:52):
It's like, oh, well we've got Aaron Donald, we should
drop him into coverage too. Huh, what do you think
Just mix it up a bit, just so that it'll
get a beat on where he's at. It's like it's
sometimes like coaches like overthink stuff. But that was the
first issue I had, Like, watch, I'm sitting there.

Speaker 4 (21:09):
I'm like, what the hell? Why is he off the
what is he doing? Why is he in coverage? Right?

Speaker 1 (21:14):
Like?

Speaker 4 (21:14):
What's he sitting back there? I mean they literally gave at.

Speaker 5 (21:18):
Least defensively a layup to Jordan Travis and Florida State,
allowing him to have more time in the pocket, more
time to throw the football downfield to Keon Coleman. Now,
I'll say this, I mean, Florida State's got some huge
pass catchers. Guy Johnny Wilson's big Keon Coleman, as you saw,
showed out a Michigan State transfer, you know, Jahem bell

(21:40):
To showed off his athleticism. I mean, They're gonna be
tough for anyone to match. Up, especially with Ben's in
the backfield. But defensively or excuse me, offensively for LSU,
defensively for Florida State.

Speaker 4 (21:51):
Look, the offensive line issues displayed themselves.

Speaker 5 (21:53):
We kind of knew that, I mean, Jared versus one
of the other best pass rushers, but I was more
just kind of surprised by the overall game plan. I mean,
Jayde and Daniels ran the football as as much as
anyone last year, and I kind of feel like sometimes
when they struggled offensively to find a rhythm, it's like,
just let the kid run, like like do what he

(22:15):
had done a ton and just pound away at a
team like that, especially when they've got really good edge rushers,
like you gonna kind of sometimes fight take the fight
to them. So I know at one point in the
game it got out of hand and you weren't gonna
have the opportunity to do that.

Speaker 4 (22:27):
But I thought early on, like.

Speaker 5 (22:28):
Not taking points, going for fourth downs, terrible play calls
on those fourth downs. It was like, like, this is
just one of the worst game plan schematics or matchups
I've seen in quite some time. Opening a weekend. We
have all off season to prepare for this matchup.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
They get to recover this week against Grambling.

Speaker 4 (22:50):
That's racist.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
Yeah, come on, we're going to take this. Was that racist?

Speaker 4 (22:54):
I'm not going to stand for this.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
Why is that recover?

Speaker 4 (22:58):
Recover against Grambling?

Speaker 2 (23:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (23:00):
Is that supposed to me?

Speaker 2 (23:01):
It's an inferior team to l s U. Oh my god, Okay,
why the inferior? Come on bar because it's a black college.
Oh geez, I'm sorry, it is Sorry, Lee, I mean,
I'm just sad. They will get to recover against Graham
Link State. Then they'll play Mississippi State. That'll be an

(23:25):
interesting game for them. That'll be a tough game. Arkansas
will be a tough game for them, right, So, I
mean Army not so much. But then they have Alabama,
Florida I mean Georgia State and then A and M. Like,

(23:46):
I mean, can they can they recover well enough to
run it? Can they run it? Or maybe what a
two to two lost team can maybe a two loss
team can.

Speaker 4 (24:00):
Well? Not the CC, I mean, it's an ACC loss,
so it doesn't matter. It's not a conference, right.

Speaker 5 (24:05):
Like My concern is they beat Bama last year and
it felt like that was their super Bowl, Like it
felt like especially for Brian Kelly too, who lost Nick
Saban back in twenty twelve when he was a Notre
Dame head coach.

Speaker 4 (24:18):
They gotta go to Alabama exactly.

Speaker 5 (24:21):
And by the way, BAMO with Jalen Milroe looks awesome.
It looks like they're gonna be They're gonna be able
to have a game plan around what his skill set
is and what he can do, and they could be dangerous.
But I think my great point is they kind of
like were like won the SEC West first year and
maybe got a little too happy about that result and

(24:42):
not the the ultimate goal and ultimate result.

Speaker 3 (24:46):
There's a different vibe coming off this loss to open
the season there was last year with Brian Kelly, Like
this one, they just looked like they got dominated and yeah,
I got ugly late in that game, But now you
just gotta and you know, Nick Saban's gonna be gunning
for that revenge against against LSU later.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
I just think a lot of teams struggled for some
I just think that week ones are different for college
football teams than what they ever have been because of
the way the preparation is taking place. Like the things
that I saw in the game on Saturday that I
called that's like, that's not characteristic of what you see

(25:27):
when you have dominant, dominant players. What what game did
you call? I called the Penn State Westwood. We are, Yeah,
we are. I was very very professional, though I was
not partial at all. I never said we one time
us you know, none of that. No, No, I didn't once.

Speaker 4 (25:46):
No.

Speaker 2 (25:46):
I did my job. I want to do my job.
But I think that again for for like you think
about the pros, they have a different way of preparing now.
It's it's a much lighter work law. It's very very
geared towards preservation of health, but it doesn't necessarily prepare

(26:08):
these guys' bodies for physical contact of real reps in
a game. But in the pros, and listen, the starters
aren't really playing these days in preseasons, so I guess
you can't say they get a lot of game reps
to prepare for the regular season because a lot of

(26:30):
those guys aren't taking game reps. But it's just interesting
to see how teams were adjusting. Like I don't think
Duke would beat Clemson later on in the season. I
just don't. I think once these teams get used to
the physicality of what playing looks like. Like some of

(26:51):
these guys looked like they were running in quicksand they
just weren't used to leaning on one another and hitting
on one another and getting off of blocks and different
things like that. Like it was just very noticeable across
all the games that I was watching, I mean the
Colorado game. I mean, maybe they don't improve. I mean,
I don't know their defensive line not well Q, but

(27:13):
I feel like they were just gassed, like they weren't wrong.

Speaker 4 (27:19):
Yeah, I had no depth.

Speaker 2 (27:21):
Now That's what it looked like. You know, I just
but I just wonder how many of these teams, like
maybe an LSU, maybe a Clemson, you know, maybe these
types of teams are the type of team that they
you know, historically you choose a Grambling State, like we
were joking, like I mean, I was joking saying that,

(27:41):
you know, but HBCU, you know it is HBCU. You
usually played them. You just mentioned it, like West Virginia's
they're not they're not the greatest of teams, but you know,
they have a lot of depth and they have a
lot of experience along their offensive front, and that gave
Penn State all they could handle. Early on that they

(28:04):
experience traveled. I mean, they're gonna get it from my
Delaware fighting Blue Hens this weekend one too. I'm gonna
go check that one guy, my guy number ten, Keno Arrington. Yeah,
how about it there?

Speaker 4 (28:15):
Well far you really need to just live over there,
made for football season.

Speaker 5 (28:19):
Give it a cross country lying, bro, that's hard on
the body.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
You ain't lying, bro, It is hard. And I had
hard on the body and hit it. Yeah, it is
kind of And I'm going with all of them this time, like, yeah,
you're I'm taking the whole crew on and I'm flying.

(28:44):
We're flying coach, all of us, you know, all six.

Speaker 4 (28:47):
Of the wild plane flight.

Speaker 2 (28:49):
Yeah. Yeah, I feel bad for anybody who's sitting there.
A couple of the way there little throat bombs, yeah,
a couple of those little belly what yeah, a little
what little stomach whateah. All right, yeah, I guess so.

Speaker 3 (29:06):
But I just I'm curious, and actually I would probably project.

Speaker 2 (29:12):
And and and and.

Speaker 3 (29:14):
Think that guys are going to improve dramatically from this
first week to let's say week two or three. I
think there's going to be a tremendous Like I saw
guys like Abdul Abdul Carter, who is an all world
everything linebacker. You know, he was missing tackles that were

(29:34):
routine tackles. They were routine, and he was missing them.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
And I just think that these guys were like one
or two steps off, and it just looked as though
that one or two steps was based off of not
being in game condition.

Speaker 3 (29:51):
That's why I never blamed teams for taking layup matchups
week one, like I actually give credit to teams to
take time. I mean, it's it's worse thinking about for
the sake of your heart work in the off season.
It's worth thinking about taking an easier game the first

(30:11):
week and then maybe stepping it up the second two
week three.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
Yeah, yeah, that's what I would say.

Speaker 4 (30:18):
Well, I gotta be careful about this.

Speaker 5 (30:19):
But the hard thing is is that's obviously not what
like fans.

Speaker 4 (30:25):
And the TV networks want.

Speaker 2 (30:26):
I get it. I get it, like they can't.

Speaker 5 (30:28):
They have a hard time selling a matchup where you've
got And then this is what I think, these week
one week two matchups are born out of They're not
born out of the schools wanting to do them. Like
I sit next to Urban miner, I get to talk
to him about it, and he's like, hey man, there's
no preseason. He's like, you got to go into that
matchup week one hitting on all cylinders. And he's talked

(30:50):
about to me like how it changes your philosophy and
camp to your point, LeVar like you gotta hit, you
gotta bang, because that's what that matchup's going to be,
and you can't wait to find out in the first half.
And honestly, that was one of the things I noticed
from TCU. They couldn't tackle.

Speaker 4 (31:06):
First half.

Speaker 5 (31:07):
They're tackling was atrocious, and you're going, all right, like
these these Colorado kids are pretty slippery, but you're like,
all right, then there's just some bad angles, bad tackling,
and clearly, like none of these schools hit as much
as they used to back in the day, and there's
a callus that you build over that, you know, getting hit, hitting,
getting used to all that stuff.

Speaker 4 (31:27):
And so that's what I think.

Speaker 5 (31:28):
Is it is one of the tough parts in admitting
this is the TV networks have pushed it, The fans
love it, clearly based on ratings.

Speaker 4 (31:35):
I mean, there's no NFL.

Speaker 5 (31:36):
You've got this gap of and space and time where
the networks are kind of like rubbing their hands together.
They're like, yeah, we'll take up We'll take up that spot,
like football seasons already started in college, We'll gladly take over.

Speaker 4 (31:47):
Labor Day weekend now. And so it's a thing.

Speaker 5 (31:51):
But you know, it's like, it's hard to sell a
matchup between.

Speaker 4 (31:58):
Who.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
I mean, I'm not gonna see that's all. It's a
hard one to sell. Man, come on, be honest.

Speaker 5 (32:03):
I'm just saying, like, I don't I would not phrase
it that way.

Speaker 4 (32:07):
Hey, Notre Dame played Tennessee State. I was selling that.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
You know, that was a game that is as Notre
Dame Tennessee easier or harder to state to Tennessee State?
Is that that.

Speaker 4 (32:19):
Eddie Tennessee State? Air? Is that?

Speaker 2 (32:21):
Is that Eddie George's team? Which one that is?

Speaker 3 (32:23):
Ge?

Speaker 2 (32:24):
I'm just saying, is that harder to sell than ls
U Florida State?

Speaker 5 (32:28):
I mean, I think there is a certain audience that
may be more to want to watch.

Speaker 4 (32:34):
Notre Dame game.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
What are you talking about?

Speaker 4 (32:36):
What do you mean? What am I talking about?

Speaker 2 (32:38):
Man?

Speaker 4 (32:38):
Please? What do you mean?

Speaker 2 (32:40):
Like? What what audience you mean?

Speaker 4 (32:42):
I'm just saying I think my people.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
He's talking about my baby, me and Lee's people, Me
and Lee Jenkins, Me and Lee Jenkins, Lee, Leroy Jenkins
just saying, yeah that we're going to watch the game.

Speaker 4 (32:55):
Leroy, did you watch the game?

Speaker 2 (32:58):
We're going to watch to see if they can win?

Speaker 4 (33:00):
Hey, did you watch the game? Which one Notre Dame
Tennessee State?

Speaker 2 (33:05):
I did not. I did not, And if I would
have been watching, it would have purely been because I
wanted to see if No Tree Dame was going to
do what you expected them to do, because you wouldn't
expected anything else. But that, I mean, we're talking about it,
and that's like I would have been wasting my time

(33:26):
to watch that game. I'm waiting for them to play
a team.

Speaker 4 (33:29):
Well, be careful about the outcome. Yeah, you gotta be careful.
How you say how the game went?

Speaker 2 (33:33):
Yeah, I'm fine, how did it go?

Speaker 4 (33:35):
But if you just like they won lot how much?
Eighty by fifty something? I okay.

Speaker 2 (33:41):
So So what are we really talking about here? I
s I sound like I'm sounding like I need to
be politically correct before I get canceled. But I'm really
just telling the truth of what everybody already knows.

Speaker 3 (34:46):
So we started the show talking about the Colorado performance
to open up the season. Dion Sanders and company, Schadoor,
you've got Travis Hunter, You've got Edwards the running back
who had four touchdown. I mean, everybody put on a
show there in in Fort Worth, there for Colorado, and afterwards,
of course, Dion Sanders wanted to let everybody know how

(35:09):
he felt about the whole situation. There were media members
there that apparently he was keeping receipts on, that had
doubted whether or not this whole thing was gonna work.
So let's listen to Prime after the game on Saturday.

Speaker 5 (35:22):
We're gonna continuously be questioned because we do things that
has never been done.

Speaker 4 (35:27):
That's the way our life.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
Has presented ourselves.

Speaker 5 (35:29):
We do things that have never been done, and that
makes people uncomfortable.

Speaker 2 (35:33):
When you see a confident black man sitting.

Speaker 4 (35:36):
Up been talking his talk, walking his walk, coaching.

Speaker 2 (35:38):
Seventy five percent African Americas in the locker room, that's
kind of threatening. Oh, they don't like that. We guess what.

Speaker 5 (35:44):
We gonna consistently do what we do because I'm here
and ain't going nowhere, and I'm about to get.

Speaker 4 (35:49):
Comfortable in a minute. What's up, balls?

Speaker 2 (35:51):
You believe now you will hold on?

Speaker 4 (35:54):
Hold on? Oh no, do you believe that? Huh?

Speaker 2 (35:58):
Oh no, no, no, I read through that, little junkie
wrote not.

Speaker 4 (36:02):
I read through that. I sit there through all that.

Speaker 5 (36:04):
Oh no, come on, do you believe you don't believe
you just answered it.

Speaker 2 (36:11):
You don't believe takes question. So there was Dion Sanders who.

Speaker 3 (36:18):
Took the opportunity to celebrate and then you know, air
out a member of the media post game. Yeah good,
a good story, and then stuff like that pops up
and you go, all right, dude, you know what's.

Speaker 5 (36:31):
Really fascinating about this, And we talked about this a
little bit on the pregame show. Is for for Prime
to do what he's done, he had to come into
coaching now right to exercise the ability to use the
transfer portal to take a program that was one and eleven.
Because that's that's the other part of this is like, see,
you was at a spot where when when Dion came

(36:53):
in and pitched what he wanted to do, what else
were they gonna say?

Speaker 4 (36:58):
Right? Like, like where else could they turn? Where else
did they go?

Speaker 5 (37:01):
They didn't have another option like other schools, Like he
interviewed at TCU back in twenty twenty one.

Speaker 4 (37:08):
They decided at that point in time it wasn't the
right time.

Speaker 5 (37:10):
I think with how things kind of worked out and
eventually year later up going with Sunny Dyke's. But you know,
there was a number of schools that Auber didn't want
to give him an interview, right, other schools chose to
go with different guys, And honestly, like if he had
come in to any of those schools and pitched to
them this exact plan, they might have been like, yeah,
we can't do all that. You know, Colorado they changed

(37:34):
their academic standards as far as like what you know,
looking for you know, transfer portal players and the student athletes.
They could admit they changed all that. Then they signed
on to this plan for completely turning over the roster,
which is as he had says, has never been done before.

(37:55):
Now it's been done to certain degrees. You know, Colorado
has like eighty some new players. You know also has
a ton of new players. Nebraska they have sixty four
new players. You don't hear a lot of people talking
about Nebraska and turning over the roster, but they have.
There's other places who are doing it, maybe not to
the magnitude Colorado is. And it's interesting that both Nebraska
and Colorado are gonna score off this weekend. But I

(38:19):
think the timing for Dion to do what he's done
at Colorado was the perfect storm.

Speaker 4 (38:26):
It was like the perfect moment in.

Speaker 5 (38:27):
Time with the success he had of Jackson State, to
go to Boulder to create this vision of what he
wanted to do and how he wanted to do it,
to bring along, you know, his sons and players with
them from there.

Speaker 4 (38:42):
It was the perfect storm, the perfect timing to do it.

Speaker 5 (38:46):
And so as far as what the rest of the
season looks like, it's gonna it's it's all still gonna
be fascinating.

Speaker 4 (38:51):
It's gonna be fascinating to see.

Speaker 5 (38:52):
How you know, he handles it as a coach, his staff,
as players, and all of them. Because I'll say right now,
the way they looked this last weekend, they're gonna be
three to zero. They're gonna be they should be top
twenty five ranked after this past weekend, and then we'll
see where things go from there, because things pick up.
They're really their biggest test is gonna be organ and
they've got them. I believe Week four of the college

(39:13):
football season.

Speaker 2 (39:14):
Yeah, I'm gonna say I'm not certain they win this
game this week. Shoot was it's a bad matchup for Nebraska.
I feel bad matchup. I'm just going to put it
out there. I kind of feel bad for I'm not
going to say I feel bad for Matt Rule.

Speaker 5 (39:30):
They don't have anything that can come close to the
playmakers that Colorado has on the outside. They're gonna have
a hard time covering them. They're gonna have a hard
time stopping them from scoring. They don't have much of
a pass rush, and the only thing Nebraska's got to
hang his hat on is running the football sixty times
and then seeing if Colorado can can stop Nebraska running

(39:52):
the football, because from what I saw, man.

Speaker 4 (39:55):
They don't.

Speaker 5 (39:56):
They just they don't have unless they're gonna end up
playing a bunch of young guys as they try to
give some of the upper classmen an opportunity. This past
game versus Minnesota, and give Minnesota credit, I mean, Jeff
Simms made two.

Speaker 2 (40:06):
Really, that's mistakes. That's not a bad team. Minnesota is
a pretty competitive team. I just I'm not so certain
that Nebraska doesn't win the game. I just I'll say
this and listen, college football is college football. Sometimes the
pendulum swings in the direction that people may not have anticipated,

(40:29):
and then you got to go back and look at it.
What's up pendulum? Yeah, Okay, then you got to go
back and you got to look at it and break
it down as to why things happen the way that
they happen. And you mentioned the running attack in the
running game. They're about to play a Big ten team,
and I know they have talent, but it's just going
to be interesting to see week two what that looks like.

(40:51):
What is the physicality going to look like? My biggest
concern right now today is Colorado's defense did not look
good at all. They didn't look good. I know, and
I think that's the point. Doesn't But that's the point
I'm making. There were a lot of teams, I don't

(41:12):
they looked so bad. Penn State's defense looked bad. There
were a lot of teams that their their defensive units
looked bad. And so to me, it's like, what are
we going to see week two? I'm interested and I'm
curious to see what some of these teams look like
now that they got a game under their belt. And

(41:34):
and so with that being said, that's not even my
biggest storyline here. The biggest storyline here is that Prime
doubled down on the success of winning this first game
and saying what he said when we listened to the SoundBite.
I think that it just raises the stakes that much
more for Prime to have to continue to win now

(41:58):
and and and for what it's worth. And it's truly
based off of himself imposing that pressure on himself and
on his team and his program, and and some people
thriving in that, you know, some people thriving it and
some people don't. You know, but it'll be curious to
see because you're you, you you put it out there

(42:20):
in a way like, let me just be the one
to say it's it's not just black people that are
pulling for Deon Sanders to win. Like, I'm gonna just
throw that out there. It's there. There are a lot
of people that want to see Don succeed. And I
mean even listening to the show on Friday, when I
brought up the fact that if Dion were to lose

(42:42):
the game, what would the critics, you know, attack certain
things about him? And Brady you came in quick and
was like, man, don't matter, like and it was very
very balanced on and and I would even say, just
very very pro Don. There are a lot of people
that are pro Dion to succeed. So to me, I

(43:04):
felt like, no, in Prime, he's going to state his
obvious feelings towards towards situations and how he sees it
and how he comprehends it. I felt like for me
in that moment, it was like be a unifier, Like
I don't know if that was a misstep or I

(43:26):
don't want to call it then because he's a very
intentional person, so I don't want to call it a misstep,
but I just I'm like, this was a win for you, yes,
but this was also a tremendous win for Colorado and
the Colorado community.

Speaker 3 (43:43):
And don't you also think that if you just took
his name out of it? And I just said to you,
all right, So he got this coach who's taken over
a one win program. He comes from an HBCU and
he's going to be coaching his two sons. He's got
all of these transfers, their twenty plus point underdogs on
the road to open the season owing by the way,

(44:04):
he almost had his foot amputator, and he's got to
sit down and game like he's gone through so much,
like it's all through. Everything about that story is a
feel good story. And then he drops that stuff after
the game and it's like, all.

Speaker 4 (44:18):
Right, what are we doing well.

Speaker 2 (44:19):
Well, what it does? It alienated a lot of people
that were like, well, I'm not black, I'm not African American,
Like I'm not, I'm not I'm not. Can I still
be down with y'all? Like, can our fruit for y'all?
Can I love y'all? Can I love Colorado? Like I
just you know, But I get where he's coming from,
because he was stating you and you and you and you.

(44:43):
You guys were writing all this stuff about me, and
he was probably basing it off of very very obvious
reasons as to why they were saying what they were saying.
He didn't come after us, we were pro prime. Yeah,
I mean I get where he was coming from. I'm
from I get it, you know, Like I reposted my
posts about fine Bomb coming out on them.

Speaker 5 (45:04):
The thing I don't understand is like, when you're talking
about the dynamics or the makeup of the locker room,
I'm like, well, that hasn't changed. I mean, awesome with you, like,
but he's talking about like the color of the skin
of the young men he's coaching. Michael On a second,
I was like, I mean, it's twenty twenty three. I
was like, it wasn't he said seventy five, Like, well, yeah,

(45:25):
that was what my locker room looked. Like what are
you talking about? I mean, I'm just saying I'm.

Speaker 2 (45:32):
Like seventy pleasant everywhere you got, every locker room, I like,
every coach is like yep, yep. You think jays Feeley's
looking around going wait a second.

Speaker 5 (45:45):
I mean here's the funny thing is like the first interception,
but like Woods their safety, I mean he's he's he's
on your team.

Speaker 2 (45:52):
Jonas, Yeah, there's that's the point. Q Like what about
the twenty five percent that aren't? Yeah, well, like how
do they fit? Like, dang coach, Like you don't bang
with me, but my skin my sin in this situation.
Like I just I don't know. I think that that
was kind of if there were any type of any

(46:13):
small criticism that I would lob and say, like, man,
that was might have been a missed opportunity. But he's
so big. He's such a big personality. This is a
movie being made right now. Like if he continues to win,
it's a movie.

Speaker 4 (46:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (46:30):
I just he's such a big brand that I don't
even know that anybody gives a flip about him, saying
that it's pretty awesome seeing Colorado good again. I mean, well,
you don't know that we know there. I don't know
that we know they're good again yet, though.

Speaker 4 (46:46):
What I love and I love Deanna he is what
he is. I love the players.

Speaker 5 (46:52):
I love how his son plays the game of quarterback,
like I love how poised he is. I love and
by the way, like why Jackson State film, Like if
people were surprised by it, you're like, all right, well
you didn't watch them then, like you weren't prepared to
watch him coming into this. He's accurate that no moment
never feels too big, Like there was a number of

(47:13):
times like.

Speaker 4 (47:13):
He was put in distress and he came out on top.
He was great against pressure.

Speaker 5 (47:17):
And then watching what Travis Hunter is doing, it's so
hard And we were just talking about this yesterday. Is
like a crew for Fox is like how you put
it into context so people understand how rare and how
difficult it is to play one hundred and thirty some
snaps on offense and defense and it's not and like

(47:37):
the thing is, it's not like the snaps he's playing
are snaps where they're insignificant in any way, like he's
out there full time on defense, on offense. When he's
in there like he's one of the top breads, They're
not going to waste a rep when he's in there,
and they're not giving him an opportunity to catch the
football or go make a play. And so that to

(47:58):
me and the I mean, granted it's one week, but
if Travis Hunter can sustain this for the entirety of
the season, I'm telling you right now, it's one of
the greatest accomplishments Heisman or not, I've ever seen a
college football player make. I mean, that is just ridiculous
to play that many snaps, and I know that he

(48:18):
was part of it, but it's just gonna be the
ability to play one hundred plus snaps like I can still.

Speaker 2 (48:23):
Keep going the interviewing at the end of the day
in the locker room, dancing like he ain't done nothing.
So I'm cat, you just got that type of movement
in their body.

Speaker 4 (48:32):
They could just go.

Speaker 2 (48:33):
I was watching the odds.

Speaker 3 (48:35):
I was, you know, while the game was going on,
because you know, he had the eleven grabs, he had
the interception, and so people and Dion made the comment
at halftime talking about you know Travis Hunter Heisman Trophy,
and so I thought, okay, well where is he on
the the odds for DraftKings? Nowhere to be found, wasn't
even on the list, and this morning, as of right now,
he's twenty five to one. So he's actually right there

(48:58):
next to shirdor Sanderson.

Speaker 5 (49:00):
And the only thing that there's like two things that
would stand in Travis Hunter's way of being there in
New York for the Heisman, all right. The first is
an injury to Shador, because I don't know what they
have behind Shador, and I don't know this son's to
be able to replicate the way you can play. So
if that happens, that would be tough because then that
takes away the ability to be able to get him
the football effectively. And then the second thing is, honestly,

(49:23):
it's just like him standing helping him being able to
do the workload.

Speaker 2 (49:27):
You gotta believe that's the biggest concern, isn't there all?

Speaker 5 (49:32):
And there might be some people with Shor if he's
playing like this, where they're like, Okay, what Trave's is
doing is great, man, but is the quarterback like that?

Speaker 3 (49:40):
Dude just threw five hundred and ten yards, that's where
my to me, that's where I'm at with it. Shud
Door should be in the conversation for the heis when
made the comment at halftime, thinking about both of them,
for them both man, your own son might have had
the best game of anybody on that.

Speaker 2 (49:55):
Field, right he did? Yeah, I mean was the versatility
of Hunter is unquestionable, But what Shador Sanders. If you
don't have Shador Sanders then granted, if Hunter doesn't make that,
like I said, if he doesn't make that pick and
take the ball out of that man's hands, I don't
know how the game finishes up. But the defense was

(50:16):
literally largely in part unable to stop TCU. So so
we talked about this before.

Speaker 3 (50:22):
When it comes to like the MVP in the NFL,
there's got to be like a storyline attached to it sometimes,
you know, like the story the narrative, like some of
that is built in, especially as you're starting to promote, Okay,
who should be the MVP?

Speaker 2 (50:32):
So on and so forth.

Speaker 3 (50:34):
Caleb Williams is the favorite to win the Heisman again
as he shouldn't be. Yeah, he's special and he's unbelievable,
but you want to know what's crazy about this?

Speaker 2 (50:43):
Just super quick before you finish your point. I had
Caleb Williams as Shador Sanders in the same eighth grade
All Star game that I used to throw with under
armor that Dion Sanders was a coach of in in
those games. But go ahead, did you guys win the game?
Did you guys win the game? Well, they were all

(51:04):
facing each other, Yeah they were, I think, yeah, they
were facing each other. Oh okay, two different mats, two
different sets. Well, I just think the Door won and
got MVP of the game. By the way, if there's
a narrative around the Heisman Trophy, we're already seeing it
built because Travis Hunter is now climbing the list. Dion
spoke about it. Shador Sanders is getting some love. So
I feel like, but there's one Jonas I know, But listen,

(51:27):
this is when it starts. RG three had that great
Week one to open up the college football season, and
he was off and running to get yourself in it.
I have no idea who cares it's going to be.

Speaker 5 (51:37):
Always you always reference RG three's Week one college football.

Speaker 2 (51:41):
Against Tennessee State. I'll figure it out when I read
his book.

Speaker 3 (51:45):
Point is, you've got two Colorado players that are neck
and neck right next to each other in the Heisman odds.
So maybe there is some some potential here that this
gets done for Deon Sanders and company there in Boulder.
By the way, Boulder is going to be so much fun.
Oh my gosh, if only we had somebody that was
going there.

Speaker 2 (52:03):
Them dudes went on the road. They went into TCU's layer,
their house.

Speaker 4 (52:09):
I'm telling you right now.

Speaker 5 (52:11):
The first sequence between the first three series took the
crowd out of it, like the three and out.

Speaker 4 (52:18):
It was like, oh okay, and then you can.

Speaker 5 (52:20):
Kind of feel like Colorado has the drive over there.
As they drove down the field to score, you could
feel the momentum kind of building and it got quieter
and quieter. And then TCU drives down the field and
that red zone pick, it was like you could hear
a pin drop. You could hear a pin drop, and
the crowd was out because also see you plays a
little more like up tempo, no huddle, So it's kind

(52:41):
of hard for the crowd to get into it when
you're doing that because they don't know like when to
cheer when they're snapping the ball.

Speaker 4 (52:46):
And it was from that point.

Speaker 5 (52:47):
Moving forward, Colorado stole all the momentum and TCU never
really got it back.

Speaker 3 (52:53):
I think Dion was wearing blenders too, those sunglasses. I
think it was rocking blenders. They're like not the most
priced pair of glasses either. So a little bit of
you know, some humble from Deon Sanders. I need them
to win two, three more games in a.

Speaker 2 (53:07):
Row winning and this is going to get They're gonna
be And I'm not saying I'm not saying the entire season.
I'm saying I would like to see them do it.

Speaker 3 (53:14):
Now.

Speaker 2 (53:14):
Do you think there'll be three and a half points
better than Nebraska this week? I just don't. I just
don't know that they're gonna win this game.

Speaker 4 (53:19):
Man, they already are three and half.

Speaker 2 (53:22):
They might get banged up, bro, I'm just saying their
defense is gonna have to be better.

Speaker 4 (53:28):
I'm telling you right now.

Speaker 2 (53:29):
Two shootouts in a row is that's that's asking a lot.

Speaker 5 (53:32):
Nebraska can't score were talking about, all right, they're having
a hard time throwing the football unless they've got a
bunch of kids that they're gonna go. Like, there was
a freshman that didn't play that one of the coaches
told me like, if this kid gets in, like we're
gonna try to get to the ball.

Speaker 4 (53:46):
He never never really got it. That was never really
getting any burn times.

Speaker 5 (53:49):
So unless they start playing some of those cats, I
don't It is just they didn't have anything.

Speaker 2 (53:54):
I'm just curious about the physicality of coming into this.

Speaker 4 (53:57):
No, you are, but I was curious about that too
in week one. I didn't tell you what.

Speaker 5 (54:01):
It did not matter that ball comes out of Schador's
hands so quick and the defense puts enough bodies there
to get guys down.

Speaker 4 (54:07):
It does not matter.

Speaker 3 (54:08):
I just hope Joel Clack can be fair and balanced.
That's all I'm looking for. That's all I'm looking for
out of this broadcast. It is two pros and a
couple of joy love.

Speaker 5 (54:17):
Good.

Speaker 2 (54:18):
There's the young son.
