CATS SHOCK #9 A&M! 🔥🏈 | Statement Win in College Station

WEBVTT
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:58.800
Man, what a difference a week makes.
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:10.960
After the disappointment against Alabama, Kentucky went into one of the toughest environments in college football, faced the number nine team of the country, and walked out of Kyle Field with a 31-21 win.
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:14.159
Though, not to be a party pooper, should have been 38-21.
00:01:14.240 --> 00:01:14.800
I digress.
00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:15.760
We'll chat about that later.
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:17.760
But guys, that's 41-21.
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:19.120
Actually, yeah, there you go.
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:19.760
Even better.
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:21.680
More were greedy.
00:01:22.080 --> 00:01:24.240
But guys, that's the response we wanted to see.
00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:26.159
And for Coach Stein, think about this.
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:35.280
In his very first SEC road, he did something Coach Stoops accomplished only once during Stoops' entire Kentucky tenure.
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:35.760
Once.
00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:39.040
Beat a top 10 SEC team on the road.
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:41.040
That's not shitting on Stoops, just facts.
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:44.240
And that's a hell of a way to get your first SEC win.
00:01:44.320 --> 00:01:46.960
Uh, but tonight isn't about me breaking it all down.
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:50.240
I've got a table full of dudes ready to do exactly that.
00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:51.680
Grab your favorite beverage.
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:55.280
It's time for round of shots, BB and round table style.
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:59.200
Uh, and I want to start with the one guy who actually made the trip to College Station.
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:03.680
Paul, you were inside Kyle Field before we start breaking down the game.
00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:05.680
Give us story time here.
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:06.880
Give us the atmosphere.
00:02:06.960 --> 00:02:12.719
What was the vibe from Kentucky and Texas AM players as well as the fans leading up to kickoff?
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:16.639
Um, so it was it was honestly a really cool experience.
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:18.719
Um, the campus is pretty cool.
00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:23.040
Um, it's uh it's really really spread out, really laid out really nicely.
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:25.600
The tailgating is very different than Kentucky.
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:34.000
Um, I'd say it's a little bit more um I gotta find the right word to say because if I say the wrong word, it's just gonna sound like I'm shitting on one or the other.
00:02:34.079 --> 00:02:35.600
And it's not, it's just different.
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:39.120
Um it's a little bit more uh upscale.
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:41.120
Um, and I don't mean that in a bad way.
00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:42.800
I don't mean that in a knock on Kentucky.
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:45.120
It's just a it's just more for more formal.
00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:46.400
That might be a better way to put it.
00:02:46.480 --> 00:02:47.040
More formal.
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:49.600
Um the the tailgates area is really pretty.
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:52.079
It had a lot of grass in it, a lot of trees.
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:54.160
Um, the fans were actually really nice.
00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:56.480
Um, I didn't see any like smack talking.
00:02:56.639 --> 00:02:58.879
It was a little I think it was fairly relaxed.
00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:02.079
Um was on the more importantly, were you nice to them?
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:04.720
I mean, I didn't say anything to the AM.
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:07.120
I mean, didn't say anything to AM fans, really.
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:09.920
Um, they there I didn't see any heckling going on.
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:12.879
I didn't see any real, you know, there was not a lot of anything.
00:03:12.959 --> 00:03:20.000
Um, you know, I can only imagine if we were walking around Knoxville trying to do that or Louisville, and it's probably gonna be a completely different, you know, scenario there.
00:03:20.160 --> 00:03:23.040
But um, you know, I heard that from most of the Kentucky media.
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:30.720
It was just like the you know, the AM fans were great, they were very hospitable, you know, they're almost like forcing you to eat food and have drinks and things like that.
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:32.240
So it was that was pretty cool.
00:03:32.399 --> 00:03:35.040
Um, pregame, Kentucky got off the bus.
00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:39.120
I mean, you know, it's hard to tell what what the pregame mentality is.
00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:41.519
Um, you know, they went through warm-ups and everything like that.
00:03:41.600 --> 00:03:44.240
I was in the press box for most it's because it's hot.
00:03:44.480 --> 00:03:47.120
I mean, guys, it was it was melt your mouth hot.
00:03:47.519 --> 00:03:48.800
150 degrees, right?
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:53.439
Yeah, according to Daveo, 150 degrees on the style on the corner, style on the corner.
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:54.959
Uh it was very hot.
00:03:55.120 --> 00:04:02.480
Um, and so spent a lot of the time, even some of the photographers were up in the press box more than usual were longer than usual times.
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:10.319
Uh, went down for the pregame because they do the intro power, and it's like it's a pretty iconic intro in college football if you haven't seen it.
00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:16.399
Um, and so I wanted to experience that what a hundred and hundred plus thousand was during an intro, at least, right?
00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:21.360
Because you never know what it's gonna be like at the end of the game if it's a blowout one way or the other, you know, if it's close.
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:23.519
I was hoping it's gonna be a you know, hopefully a close game.
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:24.720
Boy, was I wrong.
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:29.040
Um, and uh I get down on the field, you know, they do the intros.
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:32.639
The governor of Texas was there, Secretary of War was there.
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:41.600
Um, so like that was an interesting, you know, interesting dynamic that we you know whooped their ass in front of, you know, not only 105,000 fans, but also their the governor of Texas.
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:43.040
Um, so that was cool.
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:45.519
Um, that's not a political statement either way.
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:46.399
It's just cool.
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:58.000
I would I would say that I would I would say that if it was the if listen, if I voted for the president, we were at his alma mater, I don't care who the president is, and we whoop their ass, I would say the same thing that we whoop their ass in front of the president, all right?
00:04:58.159 --> 00:04:59.279
It all matters it all matters.
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:00.959
You still respect the presidency.
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:02.159
Oh, yeah, 100%.
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:04.959
I'm talking that's just talking as a fan, then, right?
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:06.560
That's just talking about as a fan.
00:05:06.719 --> 00:05:09.920
So so like I'm like the tunnel for AM.
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:13.599
I'll just like there's like a caddy quarter tunnel, then AM comes out in the middle.
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:14.479
So they come out really close.
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:16.000
Kentucky fans are like right there.
00:05:16.159 --> 00:05:18.000
I'm getting I'm like videotaping.
00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:21.599
I was trying to face down my kid and like show him like look what look at this, it's cool.
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:22.479
Couldn't get it through.
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:23.599
Start videotaping.
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:25.279
My throne overheats.
00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:28.000
I get no content of the intro, none.
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:28.560
I don't get it.
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:29.759
AM's intro.
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:32.959
I I barely get Kentucky getting ready to walk out of the tunnel.
00:05:33.039 --> 00:05:36.800
Um, I was like, you know, it's not it was loud, but I'm like, it's not that loud.
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:43.920
And then like the intro comes on, and then you're down there and the towels start waving, and you're like, holy shit.
00:05:44.479 --> 00:05:47.279
And then like, and then the decibels got up.
00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:50.800
Everybody to a man said that was the loudest stadium they've ever been to, period.
00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:55.599
Nealand, South Carolina, and it and I don't even think we got their A get at their A-game.
00:05:55.680 --> 00:06:03.680
Um, but it was loud in the press box uh during times they, you know, Mo Bamba would come on during third down, and that that it would shake, the press box would shake.
00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:08.719
And I gotta tell you, man, for 105,000 seat stadium, there's not a bad seat in that place.
00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:15.759
It was uh it was unreal, it was an unreal experience, and then to be on the field, uh, you know, then I'm on the field as Kentucky wins.
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:17.439
Um, it was a pretty amazing experience.
00:06:17.599 --> 00:06:19.599
But overall, I would 10 out of 10 recommend.
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:24.000
If you we play AM again, 10 out of 10 recommend if Kentucky fans want to make a trip, I'd make it there.
00:06:24.159 --> 00:06:27.199
Uh the town's small, it's it's smaller than Lexington.
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:28.879
Um, so got it.
00:06:29.039 --> 00:06:31.680
Let's uh let's let's start talking uh about this.
00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:34.159
Trevor, I'm gonna start with you, former player.
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:37.120
Uh you played at this, obviously, you played at this level.
00:06:37.279 --> 00:06:39.120
Forget the score for uh for a sec.
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:50.639
Early in the game, was there something you saw from from the cats, physically, emotionally, body language, line play, whatever that made you think, wait a minute, Kentucky came down here ready to play.
00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:58.560
I'll say it was the same as we played Alabama when we started off either offense or defense that came out strong and played like we belonged in SUC with the big dog.
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:05.360
So we came out strong, proved to everybody and AM and everybody else that uh we belong to SUC and we can play with anybody.
00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:07.279
So the energy was there, the play calling was there.
00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:12.079
As far as the defense, they played hell, they played good, forced some turnovers and still played aggressive.
00:07:12.159 --> 00:07:13.680
So played on all they played good.
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:16.800
Let's let's internet go out there or did you guys is sorry.
00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:18.639
I think my internet might have gone out.
00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:19.839
Well, you're back with us.
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:22.000
Uh let me Dave for the record.
00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:26.000
Uh Maria says, Dave O proving our parents wrong.
00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:29.439
We will not get pulled over if we have the dome lights on.
00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:31.839
Somebody's got to take one for the team.
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:33.120
Take one, I appreciate you.
00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:34.879
Uh well, segue, nice.
00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:39.439
Uh the defense uh definitely kept us in the game early, early.
00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:46.879
Dave O, but before the the offense really uh got rolling, um the the did the defense win this football game for us in the first quarter?
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:47.360
Yes.
00:07:47.599 --> 00:07:49.680
And how big was Sam Green go?
00:07:50.159 --> 00:07:54.240
Uh massive, you know, came over a clutch, you know, uh interception, obviously.
00:07:54.399 --> 00:08:01.279
Um, you know, yeah, got four down, you know, made made multiple uh big big run stops on that fourth dimension.
00:08:01.599 --> 00:08:02.319
Um yeah.
00:08:02.479 --> 00:08:11.199
I mean, defense is showing why it's probably gonna be one of the biggest strengths of our team this year, believe it or not, even with with the Will Stein, you know, offense in mind of head coach.
00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:12.959
So same to you, uh Kai.
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:14.639
Um first quarter.
00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:19.199
Uh Darby had the it was the drop, yeah, in the first first quarter.
00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:22.159
But the defense kept it status quo for us.
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:26.079
What what did you see uh during that first quarter that uh appealed to you?
00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:31.120
Yeah, I mean that that's what we have really been talking about the past two weeks.
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:36.800
Because obviously, like the Youngstown State game, you see all the offense you want, and then we're kind of talking about the defense.
00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:42.000
It's like, well, yeah, he gave up that many to Youngstown State, might look kind of bad against Bama.
00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:46.480
Um, and then obviously that happens in week two against Alabama.
00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:48.399
Um, the 45 points.
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:49.840
And can you all see me?
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:50.480
Okay.
00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:51.600
I don't know what happened.
00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:52.879
My screen just went off.
00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:53.680
Uh, sorry.
00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:59.759
Um, but you know, like the system is going weird because it's happening to me too.
00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:00.879
Uh uh.
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:07.600
But yeah, I mean the I feel like the offense did put them in bad um places in the second half against Alabama.
00:09:07.680 --> 00:09:10.240
Um, but with that being said, you know, they gave up the points.
00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:23.680
Going into AM, you would think that Marcel Reed and that that offense would kind of be not steamrolling, but you just assume by how Kentucky played um in that second half that maybe it'd be a little uglier than it was.
00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:26.400
Um and then they end up keeping it tight knit.
00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:28.720
They make the big plays when it matters.
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:30.640
They they know how to get off the field.
00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:38.960
Um, I thought it was really impressive how even coming out of halftime, they scored instantly on like a seven-play drive and then made them punt.
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:42.640
That's just showing, like, hey, we are actually a better football team than you.
00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:48.640
And you know, it gets to a point when they do it so much, it's like getting third quarter, you're like, okay, Kentucky's actually gonna do this.
00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:52.240
Like, there's no room for a comeback because they just can't score on them at all.
00:09:52.400 --> 00:09:59.200
Um, so I think it's good for Jay Bateman's unit to be able to know that they can do that and that they're capable of doing that.
00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:04.800
Yeah, during that uh first quarter, Paul, we we did have not admitted, I'm watching from TV.
00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:05.840
I'm watching home.
00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:18.320
And you know, coming off the Alabama game, uh, it starts with the proverbial uh was it uh AM had a fumble that recover we had a fumble recovery that was overturned.
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:25.840
Uh DJ Miller had that uh play uh that was uh shortened by replay.
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:29.600
Darby, Kenny Darby had that sure touchdown.
00:10:29.680 --> 00:10:33.200
He dropped it, Kentucky missed a field goal, and I'm thinking, uh shit.
00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:36.400
This is like uh this is gonna be one of those games.
00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:44.400
And how many times have we watched Kentucky on the road have two or three things, Paul, go wrong early, and suddenly the game starts getting away from them?
00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:45.280
Um didn't happen.
00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:46.240
Would you see?
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:48.640
What does that tell you about go ahead, go, John?
00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:51.120
Several, but I disagree with all of everything.
00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:52.560
Uh I even disagree with Kai.
00:10:52.800 --> 00:10:58.560
I never anticipated uh uh uh Texas AM and Marcel Reed to roll with Kentucky.
00:10:58.640 --> 00:11:05.520
They've they've not worked look, Marcel Reed's looked like a dog shit Heisman contender for the last four games going back to the playoffs.
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:07.520
Miami really exposed them when you look at that.
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:11.840
They put the blueprint of you put a guy home, you make a move in the pocket, and he can't make throws.
00:11:11.920 --> 00:11:13.600
He doesn't make throws well going out.
00:11:13.680 --> 00:11:15.680
And they they had a really good gameplay.
00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:25.360
Now, I think in the beginning, I think in the beginning, obviously the defense kind of had some bend but don't break and made some plays there, but also it wasn't like that, it was a little bit more methodical.
00:11:25.520 --> 00:11:28.879
Um, they were getting some second chance yak, yeah, yak yards.
00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:33.520
That that was the thing that like literally concerned me a little bit more was like, yeah, like are we like really in this?
00:11:33.680 --> 00:11:35.040
Was you they were hitting A and F.
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:41.680
Like if you look, they were getting the A M a yard or two, and then A and M would get the extra two or three yards and they would put them in like more manageable situations.
00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:44.640
But they weren't they weren't hitting us with explosive plays, right?
00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:50.080
Like there wasn't like that that that there wasn't those plays that you're like, damn, like we're gonna get smoked here.
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:53.280
It was like, are we gonna get maybe it may be a death by a thousand cuts.
00:11:53.680 --> 00:12:00.320
But like like the first the like the thing that the thing was though is the fumble early was I mean it was the right calls and he was down.
00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:05.600
I don't think that was like a deflating call, like would have been huge for us to get it because we probably score off the bat.
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:14.080
Um, but there wasn't like a I wasn't like having dread like even through that that whole first quarter ended, and I was I didn't say it because I knew people wouldn't believe it.
00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:17.680
I'm like, I'm like, we're I actually did say this to in the media room.
00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:19.360
I said they're in for a dog fight.
00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:21.680
Um, I didn't think AM was gonna kick our ass.
00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:25.520
I the time of possession when there was a discrepancy, but the defense was playing well.
00:12:25.680 --> 00:12:30.000
The offense was moving the ball, like they hit that, they had already had one or two explosives.
00:12:30.160 --> 00:12:39.840
Um, and you could see that they were like close on some of those plays, like even the Darby drop, you're like, he would have thrown it like 10 yards further, and he had night, Nick Anderson's wide open, right?
00:12:39.920 --> 00:12:41.600
Like, so there was two dudes that were open there.
00:12:41.680 --> 00:12:42.560
It wasn't even just Darby.
00:12:42.800 --> 00:12:44.240
Darby was just more open.
00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:46.080
Um, and then they started moving the ball.
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:57.520
I the you know, and so yeah, I think there was like there there was times where you would see Kentucky play and they maybe would miss or not execute a play early that maybe would have given them momentum against a team on the road.
00:12:57.600 --> 00:13:11.440
But I think like I think a lot of people are discrediting that Kentucky beat Alabama, like Kentucky outphysicled Alabama for 42 out of 60 minutes, and Alabama really didn't outphysical them, you know, the the even the other 18.
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:14.640
We had two bad execution plays, and the game was just out of touch.
00:13:14.800 --> 00:13:25.040
And they talked about that in the post-game show time they like all four players and the coach all said we were the better team last week, we should have won, and we let it get away, and it looked way worse than it was.
00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:26.400
All of them to a man.
00:13:26.560 --> 00:13:28.400
Um, no, that's uh of course.
00:13:28.640 --> 00:13:35.120
So, yeah, I I'm I I think I you know, I think that this team really showed, you know, I and what we talked about last week, right?
00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:40.560
I was excited to see what that what this week would do because I wanted to see how they responded, how the coaches adjusted.
00:13:40.640 --> 00:13:45.759
And boy, does it look like we have a coaching staff and a bunch of dudes that can adjust and come back after something.
00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:49.840
I think we have a an answer to the problem with the signal tonight.
00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:53.120
Uh, our signal must be bad because of all the couches burning.
00:13:53.200 --> 00:13:54.879
That smoke is messing with y'all.
00:13:56.720 --> 00:13:58.640
Oh, let me actually go look.
00:13:58.800 --> 00:14:02.080
I'm gonna actually go look and see if my extender's on real quick.
00:14:02.400 --> 00:14:03.200
Uh all right.
00:14:03.280 --> 00:14:06.000
Well, let me let me go to you, uh, Trevard.
00:14:06.160 --> 00:14:08.080
As a former player, you're watching this.
00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:18.000
Is it fair to say, you know, this is really this game shows us under Coach Stein where we really saw the personality of of his football players?
00:14:18.160 --> 00:14:22.480
Yeah, because both sides uh of the ball, they would pretty much been uh aggressive the whole time.
00:14:22.560 --> 00:14:28.160
And they just like we played Alabama the first the first half, the offense was aggressive, aggressive and second half.
00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:31.600
I guess Alabama defense figured them out and we didn't make no adjustments so far.
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:39.200
This game adjusting that and them defense did we counter with that and just kept on running the ball, play action, throw it to the tight ends, and throw it to the receivers down the field.
00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:44.720
So I think we did a better job of adjusting um both halves instead of just the first half.
00:14:44.800 --> 00:14:53.680
So coaches did good and uh defense, you know, they played aggressive and kept being aggressive and getting the quarterback outside of the pocket, making him throw on a run, which he's really not good at.
00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:55.360
So I think they did a good job.
00:14:55.520 --> 00:14:58.640
Man, uh I can't say enough about our especially the physicality.
00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:01.920
Dave all uh let's go to let's talk Kenny Minchie.
00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:07.440
Um one week ago, we're asking some hard questions here on Round of Shots on Sunday night.
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:18.160
And uh now we're uh now you're making your first SEC row start at Kyle Field against the number nine team, and you play arguably your best football when Kentucky needs it most.
00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:21.200
What impressed you, Davo, about Minchie's response?
00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:24.320
First of all, a lot of those criticisms were extremely unfair.
00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:29.360
You know, we we we talked about it being his second career start for sure, right?
00:15:29.520 --> 00:15:36.000
Against an Alabama defense that has the who's who's gonna be drafted in the first two rounds of the NFL draft next year.
00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:36.240
Okay.
00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:41.120
So we did we we saw exactly what we thought was probably gonna happen, right?
00:15:41.280 --> 00:15:47.600
And then you see him come in in a house-down environment, you know, 107,000 probably total with standing room, yelling and screaming.
00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:49.840
He's gonna get a 150-degree heat.
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:51.680
Okay, you know what, Daniel, let me go.
00:15:51.920 --> 00:15:54.720
Okay, I'm just telling you what the sound before you say.
00:15:59.280 --> 00:16:03.920
Anyways, but you saw him, you saw him take a lot, a lot of the smarter plays, too.
00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:05.520
A lot of the check downs and everything.
00:16:05.680 --> 00:16:07.680
You didn't see him force anything downfield.
00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:10.879
And when he did get a downfield, it's because he was protected well.
00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:12.960
So you know, hats off to him.
00:16:13.200 --> 00:16:17.280
Was uh Paul, was it the numbers or was it his composure?
00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:22.240
So we found out that his nickname is Floyd for Floyd Mayweather because he is he's so calm.
00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:25.520
Uh he actually said that the coach, yeah, yeah, that's his nickname on the team.
00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:26.320
They call him Floyd.
00:16:26.400 --> 00:16:28.240
And we had to be like, we're like, Floyd, what?
00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:31.680
And uh as CJ Baxter said, yeah, Floyd played a great game.
00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:33.520
And they're like, wait, Floyd, I mean Kenny.
00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:34.960
And we were like, what do you mean, Floyd?
00:16:35.040 --> 00:16:35.200
Right.
00:16:35.360 --> 00:16:39.360
And so the coaches that he actually says the coaches asked to get him to move more.
00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:41.360
Like he's just nothing rattles him.
00:16:41.520 --> 00:16:45.360
Um, I think it was the fact that like if you look at his stats, he was 14 of 18.
00:16:45.520 --> 00:16:46.720
Two of them were throwaways.
00:16:46.800 --> 00:16:49.520
One was a pass deflection early in the first half.
00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:52.560
It was a it was actually uh it was not a bad throw, bad decision.
00:16:52.640 --> 00:16:55.200
It was probably one of the more contested balls he's he threw.
00:16:55.440 --> 00:17:02.080
Pass breakup, um, and what and uh and uh and uh sorry he had two drops, a pass breakup and a and a throwaway.
00:17:02.160 --> 00:17:02.560
That was it.
00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:04.079
Everything else he nailed.
00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:06.960
Um, and one of the drops would have been for another 42-yard touchdown.
00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:11.200
So if you look at that, he could have thrown for almost 300 yards, three touchdowns if he if he catches that ball.
00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:17.119
So you know, I think I think I think we a lot of people overreacted to the Alabama game in a lot of ways.
00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:21.279
I think it was oh, I think it was play, it was coaching, and I don't mean that in a slight.
00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:23.359
I think it was just like they got out coached.
00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:27.680
It was their first SEC game against a guy who's been to a national championship game, right?
00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:39.359
Like the thing that impresses me now about Stein and Minchie is it's like it's kind of like all right, you get one shot to fool me here, you get one shot to beat me, and if you don't, I you're never beating me again, kind of a thing.
00:17:39.440 --> 00:17:41.519
Um, and his poise and composure was phenomenal.
00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:50.480
I mean, the pocket, like you look, he never got and I think his pocket presence, I think like now that he's three games in, I think he saw he felt the pressure better in this game, too.
00:17:50.559 --> 00:17:53.440
When you watch the ends when you come, he stepped in the pocket better.
00:17:53.600 --> 00:17:55.920
There was a couple times where he was real close.
00:17:56.080 --> 00:18:03.200
Like now now, this is where he gets now this is where I think you're gonna see him get a little bit better making the decision to run a split second faster because there's two or three times.
00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:07.600
If he would have like pulled it like like half a second, he's 20 yards on the field.
00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:09.519
Like you might not have seen that on TV.
00:18:09.600 --> 00:18:15.600
Like, we're like this in the press box, like, oh my god, there was one, he might have scored a 40-some yard touchdown if he gets out.
00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:17.360
Like, there is nobody on his side of the field.
00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:23.600
Everything you're saying, Paul, sounds like we dominated the game way more than we did.
00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:24.559
We kicked their ass.
00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:29.039
Even Elko said that that listen, that game was not uh that game was not close.
00:18:29.120 --> 00:18:30.400
That was not a 10-point game.
00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:31.600
Like, make no mistake about it.
00:18:31.680 --> 00:18:36.080
Kentucky did not walk into Kyle Field and come out with a with a teeth, like squeaky bum win.
00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:47.600
They went in there and beat the number nine teams ass in front of 105,000 fans, in front of a Heisman with a Heisman Trophy contending quarterback and a team they think could go and potentially win a national championship.
00:18:47.680 --> 00:18:50.000
And Kentucky walked in there and made them look stupid.
00:18:50.160 --> 00:18:50.480
All right.
00:18:50.640 --> 00:18:51.519
Now think about this.
00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:54.960
We've played Alabama and AM, and for what?
00:18:55.279 --> 00:19:02.160
Five eighty, and for and for what, eight, a hundred and two minutes of that, they've been the better team.
00:19:02.319 --> 00:19:02.640
Yeah.
00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:07.120
I mean, seriously, three quarters, two, five quarters, really, right?
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:11.600
Of the through five quarters, Kentucky's been the better team against Alabama and and AM.
00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:12.799
Yeah, yep, yep.
00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:20.880
Uh Trevard, um, from a player's perspective, do you did we see Minchie uh trusting Stein's offense more?
00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:24.880
I mean, because I I I just think, man, I I that was the one thing I just noted.
00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:28.480
He just was like so effing cool back there.
00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:29.680
He does he wasn't right.
00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:32.319
I did not see him rattle at all.
00:19:32.559 --> 00:19:38.480
I mean, his comfort is kind of I mean, it's kind of like, yeah, the comfort of him trusting Stein's offense.
00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:39.200
You're taking it.
00:19:39.360 --> 00:19:44.240
Yeah, I think he trusts Stein's offense, and I mean, for the past three games, he still, I mean, he looked comfortable.
00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:48.960
Even in the Alabama game, second half, he left he didn't look too rattled, he went back there shaking and whatnot.
00:19:49.039 --> 00:19:55.360
So he looked comfortable, and I think he well, he was comfortable at home to me in six in front of 60,000 people.
00:19:55.600 --> 00:20:00.000
To go on the road, I thought he actually looked way more comfortable than he did against Bahama.
00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:01.039
But go ahead and finish up.
00:20:01.360 --> 00:20:05.279
Yeah, I think he trusted his players a lot a lot more in Derby when he dropped the touchdown pass.
00:20:05.440 --> 00:20:08.559
He's still throwing the ball to him, regardless if he drops a touchdown pass or not.
00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:15.600
So I think he trusted offense, trusting his players, and I think the run game helped help the offense out too because the run game was going good the whole game.
00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:18.559
So you have a good run game, also to open up the pass game.
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:23.840
So I think trusting offense and coaches, I think they open up the playbook a lot a lot more to him and the players.
00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:25.759
So keep doing what you're doing and keep playing.
00:20:26.080 --> 00:20:27.759
I think we can go you know, keep winning the game.
00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:32.160
Kai uh, I think I'm gonna kind of ask the proverbial uh post question.
00:20:32.400 --> 00:20:35.519
Did we did we see Minchie grow up a little bit Saturday?
00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:40.000
Because seriously, his maturation from every game to me is evident.
00:20:40.080 --> 00:20:40.720
What's a use?
00:20:41.120 --> 00:20:46.640
Yeah, I think like it's literally just being thrown in the fire and getting used to things.
00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:51.440
I I think like game one, he looked really solid, but it was, oh well, who's the opponent?
00:20:51.519 --> 00:20:56.400
And then game two happens and it's like, well, like you said, Kevin, he's at home, he's comfortable.
00:20:56.559 --> 00:20:59.200
What's he really gonna do on the road for the first time?
00:20:59.360 --> 00:21:01.120
And then he looked the exact same.
00:21:01.279 --> 00:21:13.920
Um, so I think that brings forth a lot of excitement that lets you know, okay, so our quarterback can go toe-to-toe with Sam Levitt and and Lane Kiffin's offense when they come into Lexington.
00:21:14.240 --> 00:21:21.120
Uh, he can definitely, you know, I'm an Oklahoma fan, I hate to say it, but they haven't proved anywhere close that they deserve to be a ranked team.
00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:23.279
So when you go Oh, oh, say that again?
00:21:23.440 --> 00:21:23.680
Yeah.
00:21:23.920 --> 00:21:25.039
Oklahoma fan over here.
00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:26.240
Baker Mayfield.
00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:27.039
Wow.
00:21:27.360 --> 00:21:27.519
Yeah.
00:21:27.759 --> 00:21:30.960
You know, we got you on a Sunday night BBN show.
00:21:31.200 --> 00:21:31.440
Yeah.
00:21:32.400 --> 00:21:33.680
Um but no, no, no.
00:21:33.840 --> 00:21:39.120
Regardless, John Matir hasn't proved that he is that like Heisman finalist quarterback.
00:21:39.279 --> 00:21:43.759
So then, you know, okay, Kenny Minchie and Stein could definitely compete with Oklahoma too.
00:21:43.920 --> 00:21:45.759
Um, sellers in South Carolina.
00:21:45.840 --> 00:21:48.559
It tells you the whole SEC is wide open for them.
00:21:48.720 --> 00:21:54.880
Um, and I think that was why no one felt truly that confident about the AM game.
00:21:54.960 --> 00:22:00.720
Because it was like, you know, they lost big to Alabama, face value, it's like same old Kentucky.
00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:07.600
And people are just expecting the worst and not really, you know, having that Paul mindset, like, you know what, guys?
00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:10.000
Like we can go toe-to-toe with them no matter what.
00:22:10.080 --> 00:22:10.559
Who cares?
00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:13.039
Um, but I think a lot of fans are convinced now.
00:22:13.279 --> 00:22:16.400
Paul, I mean, SEC Network has Paul Feinbaum.
00:22:16.640 --> 00:22:19.920
Can can uh rounder shots have Paul is the bomb?
00:22:21.360 --> 00:22:22.640
With so alive.
00:22:23.120 --> 00:22:24.559
Uh let's go.
00:22:24.720 --> 00:22:28.559
Uh let's talk about uh DJ Miller, guys.
00:22:28.720 --> 00:22:31.519
Uh Dave oh, uh, you still got the your dome light on?
00:22:31.680 --> 00:22:32.080
You still have to.
00:22:32.160 --> 00:22:33.840
Hold on one second, Dave, again, Taco Bell.
00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:34.319
Skip me.
00:22:41.840 --> 00:22:42.799
Okay, Debo's back.
00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:49.759
And for the record, Davo got chicken fajita and hard taco with no lettuce, because I don't trust that shit yet.
00:22:50.319 --> 00:22:51.759
Don't get the shit lettuce, man.
00:22:51.840 --> 00:22:53.759
I think he sticks with you for days.
00:22:53.920 --> 00:22:55.440
I don't care what you want on it.
00:22:55.759 --> 00:22:55.920
All right.
00:22:56.559 --> 00:22:57.680
All right, Daivo.
00:22:57.920 --> 00:23:02.480
Uh put put the bell in the rear who this.
00:23:02.799 --> 00:23:03.039
Who this?
00:23:03.519 --> 00:23:04.720
Put the bell in the rear view.
00:23:04.799 --> 00:23:05.279
Listen to me.
00:23:05.440 --> 00:23:13.039
Was the was the Minchie that DJ Miller shot the play uh that that finally settled that breakdown?
00:23:13.200 --> 00:23:13.920
Yeah, I think so.
00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:21.200
I mean, like I said, that that was a bomb, and that's and and that that was the best protection, you know, that the that that that we had seen, you know, Minchie have.
00:23:21.360 --> 00:23:22.640
So yeah, I believe so.
00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:25.600
Um, I believe they had, I think they correct me if I'm wrong, man.
00:23:25.920 --> 00:23:27.279
Maybe maybe Paul would know this.
00:23:27.440 --> 00:23:32.160
I believe they asked uh Joe Sloan, you know, about DJ Miller, and he regretted not using him more.
00:23:32.319 --> 00:23:35.519
Um, so yeah, I think you're gonna see a lot more of that rest of the season.
00:23:35.759 --> 00:23:37.440
They got him the ball the very first play.
00:23:37.600 --> 00:23:38.000
Yeah, yeah.
00:23:38.160 --> 00:23:39.440
You're down seven-nothing.
00:23:39.519 --> 00:23:40.960
The crowd is into it.
00:23:41.120 --> 00:23:44.880
He left points on the field, and instead of tightening up Stein attack.
00:23:45.039 --> 00:23:46.400
How what important was that?
00:23:46.559 --> 00:23:47.840
I mean, that's just Stein, man.
00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:55.440
Like, I you know, I think we have to start like really like stop looking at this as Kentucky football that we thought thought, like, you know, everything that we look in at the end of the day.
00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:56.720
Legacy football.
00:23:57.279 --> 00:23:58.559
Yeah, it's not, man.
00:23:58.720 --> 00:24:00.960
Like, I mean, Stein doesn't care, right?
00:24:01.039 --> 00:24:04.480
Like, you knew, like, if you watch, like, two, we've got that fourth down stop.
00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:05.360
What's the first thing he does?
00:24:05.519 --> 00:24:07.200
Play action, looks for the jugular.
00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:12.240
Like, that's the shit that gave that that's the thing that that coaches that win titles do.
00:24:12.400 --> 00:24:14.240
He's like, you just went for it on third down.
00:24:14.319 --> 00:24:17.600
I'm gonna, I'm gonna, he went to stomp on AM's throat right there.
00:24:17.759 --> 00:24:19.039
He was not letting them off the mat.
00:24:19.279 --> 00:24:20.880
He was going play action to go try to kill.
00:24:21.039 --> 00:24:22.720
I and we didn't, we didn't connect, obviously.
00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:24.960
We've still had like, I think we still gained like eight or nine yards.
00:24:25.039 --> 00:24:29.279
So, like, even that even like you know, I don't even think like the team was never rattled.
00:24:29.360 --> 00:24:31.440
Like, if you like the sideline was never rattled.
00:24:31.519 --> 00:24:38.000
Like that now, that that bomb, I that bomb was big because we had just gotten a hold, I believe, and it was like first and 18.
00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:43.440
We had just gotten kind of an explosive play, and then we get another explosive play on top of that.
00:24:43.600 --> 00:24:55.360
So it was big because I think it really was the shot at AM, because we had we had already hit two explosive plays on them, and I think we hit seven or eight explosives against them in the in the game uh yesterday.
00:24:55.519 --> 00:25:02.480
And so, you know, DJ Miller specifically was like, we just were I just don't know if we were putting them in situation, the right game situations.
00:25:02.559 --> 00:25:08.080
And some of this I think was the personnel you see in practice, and then the personnel against the game, and then the adjustment.
00:25:08.319 --> 00:25:19.759
And, you know, I think some of that might have had to do with that, but getting him the ball early, and he might be one of those dudes that you just need to get him the ball on the first possession or two so he gets in the game and his confidence grows.
00:25:19.840 --> 00:25:20.880
And you saw that, like that.
00:25:20.960 --> 00:25:27.759
I don't know if everybody saw like that that contested like catch that he made, like uh on the one on, I think it might have been the last touchdown drive.
00:25:27.840 --> 00:25:35.600
It's like second and eight, catches it over the field, lands, and then does like this, like on the right, like a little twinkle fingers for the first time or like this.
00:25:35.920 --> 00:25:39.680
Um, and so you know, this team is gonna exude confidence, man.
00:25:39.759 --> 00:25:43.519
Like I and this is not gonna ever be the we're gonna run the ball now.
00:25:43.600 --> 00:25:47.519
Stein's smart, but this is a guy that's gonna go for your throat through the whole game.
00:25:47.600 --> 00:25:48.559
Uh like he was very smart.
00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:51.759
Like they're like, dude, do we throw the ball down like when it was like three minutes less?
00:25:51.840 --> 00:25:52.240
We got the ball.
00:25:52.319 --> 00:25:53.200
It was like one timeout.
00:25:53.279 --> 00:25:55.759
We're like, no, we're just gonna run the ball, he's gonna make him use a timeout.
00:25:55.840 --> 00:25:58.880
He's gonna run the ball, he's gonna get it under two minutes, and he's just gonna be like, you know what?
00:25:58.960 --> 00:26:03.039
If you can get two two scores and two two onside kicks and beat us, God bless you, right?
00:26:03.120 --> 00:26:04.080
You don't deserve the win.
00:26:04.160 --> 00:26:07.440
Uh and so you know, it's just it's it was an incredibly coached game.
00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:11.279
And uh, you know, I think that that we're gonna see a lot more of that moving forward.
00:26:11.360 --> 00:26:16.640
Y'all don't I don't even know if you want to hear where I think this is gonna go the rest of this year because I'm about to say some wild shit.
00:26:16.960 --> 00:26:22.000
Well, well, we we've got a we got a little while, we've got another half hour-ish to go.
00:26:22.080 --> 00:26:23.120
Uh we'll keep talking.
00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:25.440
But uh Daveo, where's my taco bell?
00:26:29.920 --> 00:26:32.559
Well Kai, bring you in here.
00:26:32.720 --> 00:26:36.000
Last week, um, I was gonna say we questioned the offense.
00:26:36.080 --> 00:26:38.720
I'll I'll say I'll I'll I'm one of the Kevin question.
00:26:38.880 --> 00:26:39.519
Kevin question.
00:26:39.920 --> 00:26:40.960
Okay, okay.
00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:43.440
I mean Daivo and I told you no.
00:26:44.559 --> 00:26:45.840
I still have a Kevin.
00:26:45.920 --> 00:26:46.400
I told you.
00:26:46.559 --> 00:26:47.440
It sounds like my hair.
00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:48.080
Kevin.
00:26:48.240 --> 00:26:50.559
Anyways, Kai, let's be fair.
00:26:50.640 --> 00:26:52.799
I mean, let's and give credit this week.
00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:55.840
What did Coach Stein and his dad truly change?
00:26:56.000 --> 00:26:57.680
What changed for you from your perspective?
00:26:57.759 --> 00:27:01.840
Uh was it scheme, execution, tempo, personnel, combination?
00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:02.240
Go ahead.
00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:04.799
I think in hindsight, like nothing changed.
00:27:04.960 --> 00:27:07.279
It was just like unwavering confidence.
00:27:07.440 --> 00:27:11.519
Like, you know, I I you think it's coach talk at the time.
00:27:11.600 --> 00:27:22.720
And looking back, like that, going into Alabama press conference and the press conference afterwards, they were saying they're not taking a moral victory, brought up that they had led for 42 minutes.
00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:25.440
And I was like, hey, that but you know, it's kind of fair.
00:27:25.519 --> 00:27:29.120
You know, you're 18 minutes away from securing that win.
00:27:29.279 --> 00:27:34.319
And I think just keeping it tight knit, like running it, how it's meant to be run.
00:27:34.480 --> 00:27:41.840
I think that's why it's so foreign to us because we've never had a coach have to be like our coach has always been like, okay, how do we respond?
00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:46.240
And we'll stein's just kind of like, we're just gonna keep doing our thing over here, man.
00:27:46.319 --> 00:27:49.920
Like we know what we're capable of, and we've been doing this all summer.
00:27:50.000 --> 00:27:51.600
We're ready to go in the SEC.
00:27:51.680 --> 00:28:05.519
And you know, the each week as it goes on and goes on, people are gonna see that that this isn't like you said earlier, we can't look at it as Kentucky football and and attach the history to this new program because it's not the same at all.
00:28:05.920 --> 00:28:06.720
Not, it's not.
00:28:06.880 --> 00:28:09.120
Uh in the last what, 12 years was stupid?
00:28:09.279 --> 00:28:15.920
It was obviously defensive mindset, and then somehow they had to figure the offense and make the offense uh catch up.
00:28:16.080 --> 00:28:21.279
But let me uh Trevard, um, how how much did you like the aggression?
00:28:21.360 --> 00:28:29.039
Uh, because Kentucky to me wasn't playing to hang around with the number nine team, they were trying to beat the out of them.
00:28:29.600 --> 00:28:37.840
Well, hell, I loved it because I mean you gotta play a game, you're gonna play the game to win, you want to be aggressive, and the other team might be aggressive to you, so might as well be aggressive to them.
00:28:37.920 --> 00:28:38.880
So I mean, I loved it.
00:28:38.960 --> 00:28:42.720
Yeah, I mean the offense looked well for me, the offense looked the same as when they played Bama.
00:28:43.120 --> 00:28:46.559
Just the second half of Bama, Bama just figured them out a little bit and start blessing them.
00:28:46.640 --> 00:28:52.480
But saying this game, they figured the blitz pretty good, and uh O-line opened up the hole great for the running backs to run through.
00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:56.000
And they had a protection for him to throw the ball down the field.
00:28:56.080 --> 00:29:03.120
So in the defense, um hell they was blitzing them and containing the quarterback and picking them off and got uh two stops on fourth down.
00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:06.799
So yeah, just keep doing what you're doing, keep playing aggressive and don't let up.
00:29:06.960 --> 00:29:08.000
And don't let up.
00:29:08.160 --> 00:29:09.600
Uh I was gonna go to Daivo.
00:29:09.759 --> 00:29:10.640
Daivo, can you hear me?
00:29:10.799 --> 00:29:11.600
You still with me?
00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:12.240
What's going on?
00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:13.600
Dave's eating Taco Bell.
00:29:13.680 --> 00:29:15.920
Go ahead and multiple you are multitasking.
00:29:16.960 --> 00:29:18.319
Kick him off, kick him off the screen.
00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:18.720
All right.
00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:19.840
Um making me hungry.
00:29:20.000 --> 00:29:20.400
Yeah, I know.
00:29:21.200 --> 00:29:21.920
It is really good.
00:29:22.080 --> 00:29:24.080
Uh is Taco Bell never good.
00:29:24.240 --> 00:29:29.279
Uh you don't make me look at my uh Grubhub and Taco Bell tonight, Daveo.
00:29:29.360 --> 00:29:33.680
Um, let's talk uh Kenny Darby from drop to touchdown.
00:29:33.840 --> 00:29:36.799
How much uh how much I'll start with you, Dave.
00:29:37.120 --> 00:29:40.319
How much did you love seeing Coach Stein going right back?
00:29:40.640 --> 00:29:41.600
Oh, I love him.
00:29:41.680 --> 00:29:42.720
I I love him for that.
00:29:42.880 --> 00:29:49.279
I mean, I believe a lot of this, especially me, was all up about Kenny Darby uh before the season even started.
00:29:49.360 --> 00:29:52.000
You know, there's a reason why LSU wanted him really bad too.
00:29:52.080 --> 00:29:53.759
You know, and Joe Sloan brought him.
00:29:53.840 --> 00:29:56.160
So thank you for that, Sloan spelt the wrong way.
00:29:56.240 --> 00:29:57.360
Thank you for bringing me here.
00:29:57.519 --> 00:29:59.680
Um, you know, or is it the right way?
00:30:02.720 --> 00:30:05.680
To the person vendetta, guys have to get that cell away in, okay?
00:30:05.840 --> 00:30:07.440
Anyways, uh thank you.
00:30:10.640 --> 00:30:11.440
It'll be the right way.
00:30:11.600 --> 00:30:12.240
Hell yeah.
00:30:12.480 --> 00:30:13.600
Let me have my vendetta.
00:30:13.920 --> 00:30:14.480
All right.
00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:17.279
Anyways, back on back back on topic.
00:30:17.360 --> 00:30:22.319
Uh, you know, Coach Stein said, we're gonna feed the studs, we're gonna feed the studs, we're gonna feed the studs.
00:30:22.400 --> 00:30:25.360
You got a studs, it just happens to be a pressure, right?
00:30:25.440 --> 00:30:34.160
Uh so at at this point in time, it would not excite me at all to see Kenny Darby to get deeper and deeper and deeper into the season as your leading receiver.
00:30:34.240 --> 00:30:37.279
Um, your go-to, your deep threat, and I'm super excited for that.
00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:40.000
While you're eating Taco Bell, you can be super excited.
00:30:40.240 --> 00:30:42.799
Now, that's actually a good, good situation.
00:30:43.039 --> 00:30:45.759
Super excited and eating Taco Bell at the same time.
00:30:46.080 --> 00:30:46.240
Wow.
00:30:47.120 --> 00:30:47.519
So jealous.
00:30:48.000 --> 00:30:48.480
So jealous.
00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:51.600
Um Paul, I'm gonna uh pause you for a second.
00:30:51.680 --> 00:30:53.759
I I gotta jump, I gotta go right to Trevard.
00:30:53.920 --> 00:30:59.840
Trevard, from a player perspective again, and thank you for being here and always giving us that player vibe.
00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:06.400
Same with uh Darby, you just dropped a touchdown on on the road at Calfield.
00:31:06.480 --> 00:31:10.880
Your coach comes over, keeps your confidence up, and then calls your number again.
00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:12.720
What does that do for a young man?
00:31:12.880 --> 00:31:16.400
A not not I mean, your young man is in a true fresh coach.
00:31:17.039 --> 00:31:23.840
I mean never played as a true freshman, but as a freshman, I mean, you know, the coach still has your back, and your players still have your back.
00:31:23.920 --> 00:31:24.799
That's I mean, that's confidence.
00:31:25.039 --> 00:31:26.080
Hell, that'd give you confidence.
00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:30.880
So the fact that they take him out or stop throwing the ball away from means they ain't got confidence in him.
00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:32.480
So hell, keep throwing the ball to him.
00:31:32.559 --> 00:31:33.440
You're gonna catch one.
00:31:33.519 --> 00:31:37.360
I mean, I guess anybody who played football or sports in general play early.
00:31:37.440 --> 00:31:39.920
I mean, you're gonna have you're gonna have to have some mistake.
00:31:40.000 --> 00:31:46.720
So it's not like that mistake, get the best of you, and just go to the next play and keep progressing, keep getting better, and hell confidence go go up.
00:31:46.880 --> 00:31:51.200
It's like with Trevard, it's like warm fuzzies and kittens and all that good stuff.
00:31:51.360 --> 00:31:52.400
But I can appreciate that.
00:31:52.559 --> 00:31:56.480
Let's uh well, let me say uh get um Paul your take.
00:31:56.640 --> 00:31:57.440
Uh Darby.
00:31:57.680 --> 00:32:00.640
I mean, this this cat, pun intended, man.
00:32:00.799 --> 00:32:03.120
Uh I kind of like his game.
00:32:03.200 --> 00:32:06.000
I like what he brings, his size, everything about him.
00:32:06.080 --> 00:32:07.200
What say you about Darby?
00:32:07.840 --> 00:32:08.240
He left.
00:32:08.400 --> 00:32:08.799
He left.
00:32:08.880 --> 00:32:09.279
Did he go?
00:32:11.039 --> 00:32:12.880
Did you did you go to Taco Bell?
00:32:14.000 --> 00:32:15.759
I don't know what's going on with the internet tonight.
00:32:15.840 --> 00:32:16.400
It's really weird.
00:32:16.559 --> 00:32:19.279
Uh someone said, I I need to I'll call it.
00:32:20.319 --> 00:32:22.000
Metronet needs to get their shit together.
00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:25.120
Stay uh finish our your thought on Kenny Darby.
00:32:25.440 --> 00:32:28.559
Um, this is a uh a dude, true freshman.
00:32:29.039 --> 00:32:32.240
Man, this uh ceilings the limit with this guy.
00:32:32.319 --> 00:32:33.519
I mean to me.
00:32:33.759 --> 00:32:34.319
I'm talking to you.
00:32:34.400 --> 00:32:35.279
Okay, Darby.
00:32:35.360 --> 00:32:37.440
His uh Lucas Lucas was on.
00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:42.319
We did a space on Saturday late because I was driving and I was trying not to crash.
00:32:42.480 --> 00:32:47.440
Um and so a space was a good way for me to stay awake by you know talking while I'm pounding a monster.
00:32:47.600 --> 00:32:52.080
Um he he said he thinks Darby's gonna be the best wide receiver to ever play Kentucky.
00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:53.600
Um he's off to a good start.
00:32:53.759 --> 00:33:01.680
You know, I I I uh I'm gonna I'm gonna like piggyback this into a like a a little bit of a different point because he is so so good.
00:33:01.840 --> 00:33:06.799
Can you imagine what this wide receiver core looks like if they get Nick Anderson going with DJ Miller and Kenny Darby?
00:33:06.960 --> 00:33:15.680
Like the thing is is that like we have other dudes that are a part of this, and you even got Prince Gene who can really speedster, he can really do a lot, and I'm frozen again.
00:33:15.920 --> 00:33:16.960
You're not us.
00:33:17.039 --> 00:33:17.600
We see you.
00:33:17.680 --> 00:33:18.720
Raise your hands, move.
00:33:18.799 --> 00:33:24.240
Okay, maybe you are maybe I'm so sick of this internet right now.
00:33:24.319 --> 00:33:25.200
I don't know what's going on.
00:33:25.360 --> 00:33:26.720
Well, here's what I do too.
00:33:26.880 --> 00:33:32.720
Before the show starts, I go reboot my modem just for just to know that I've got never had this problem.
00:33:32.960 --> 00:33:33.840
Never had this problem.
00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:36.080
All right, um, let's go.
00:33:36.240 --> 00:33:41.360
Uh I'm trying our best to stay at the 10 o'clock top of the hour.
00:33:41.519 --> 00:33:42.640
Might go a little over.
00:33:42.720 --> 00:33:45.519
So, y'all, Javard, I hope you can give me a few more minutes.
00:33:45.600 --> 00:33:46.799
Uh but we'll keep you long.
00:33:47.039 --> 00:33:47.440
Let's go.
00:33:47.600 --> 00:33:49.120
The third quarter, guys.
00:33:49.279 --> 00:33:52.319
Kentucky took this game over in the third quarter.
00:33:52.480 --> 00:33:55.680
Um, Daveo, Kentucky didn't steal this at the end.
00:33:56.000 --> 00:33:59.039
They came out, came out of halftime and took it.
00:33:59.279 --> 00:34:02.160
21 unanswered uh in the third quarter.
00:34:02.319 --> 00:34:07.440
Actually, it was actually 28 overall, I'm sure, because AM scored first in the second quarter.
00:34:07.600 --> 00:34:08.559
Kentucky responded.
00:34:08.719 --> 00:34:10.000
21 in the third.
00:34:10.159 --> 00:34:15.279
What's uh, say you, Dave O, the biggest uh credit for halftime adjustments?
00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:20.559
Um, I guess it would be the entire offensive coaching staff um switching up to what works, right?
00:34:20.639 --> 00:34:26.239
And what works was what didn't work against Alabama, and that was a running game really getting going in that third quarter.
00:34:26.319 --> 00:34:36.079
Um, I believe a lot of people kind of had PTSD from that Alabama game, the way the offense was just kind of staling, you know, and we're thinking, oh Lord, here we go again.
00:34:36.239 --> 00:34:36.639
Excuse me.
00:34:36.799 --> 00:34:38.559
Oh Lord, here we here we go again.
00:34:38.719 --> 00:34:42.159
The defense is gonna be on the field for way too long, and including myself.
00:34:42.239 --> 00:34:49.919
And that's why I said in that in the little chat we have, you know, this this this this first drive of the third quarter is going to determine how the rest of the game is gonna go.
00:34:50.000 --> 00:34:55.519
And you know, luckily we came right out and did and did what we wanted to do and what we needed to do and drove right down the field score.
00:34:55.679 --> 00:34:59.919
Um so kudos to Ghostine and kudos to the running game for getting going.
00:35:01.039 --> 00:35:08.159
Paul, um to me, Kentucky wasn't hanging on hoping for an upset for that stretch in the third quarter.
00:35:08.319 --> 00:35:10.879
Kentucky just looked like the better football team.
00:35:10.960 --> 00:35:15.839
I mean, when I say better, I mean I'm talking like AM top-tier SEC.
00:35:15.919 --> 00:35:17.119
Am I overstating that?
00:35:17.359 --> 00:35:17.599
No.
00:35:18.079 --> 00:35:21.039
No, I mean I would say it was longer than that.
00:35:21.199 --> 00:35:26.159
You know, I I I think a lot of people were looking at this with Alabama eyes.
00:35:26.319 --> 00:35:29.119
Um, I just got an interesting DM we're gonna have to talk about.
00:35:29.279 --> 00:35:31.439
Um who's sliding in the middle of it a lot.
00:35:32.079 --> 00:35:36.079
Uh we'll talk about it after this because it was the setup for Wednesday.
00:35:36.239 --> 00:35:42.319
Um, I it was a big uh look, I I I think Kentucky was out playing Alabama for a lot longer than just the third quarter.
00:35:42.399 --> 00:35:43.839
They had missed some things, obviously.
00:35:44.000 --> 00:35:48.719
The time of the time of possession was a discrepancy, but also there was like the missed shots there that you saw.
00:35:48.879 --> 00:35:55.439
It was like we we got to control the ball a little bit more because we can't let the defense get tired out because they were playing well.
00:35:55.599 --> 00:35:57.439
You saw that the offense was taking shots.
00:35:57.679 --> 00:36:01.679
You know, I don't know if we adjusted at halftime as much as just we just executed.
00:36:01.839 --> 00:36:11.359
Uh Stein came in at the end of the at the end of the game and he was just like, we just we shortened the playbook and said, all right, we're just gonna run these 25 plays and just do them really effing well.
00:36:11.439 --> 00:36:12.000
We're gonna do it.
00:36:12.159 --> 00:36:27.599
And if you watch inside the 25, they ran that same, that same like inside zone, let the DN come off the edge and hit them over the top with that little screen where all you out you're one-on-one with a guy, or that linebacker was inside is the first play with DJ Miller.
00:36:27.759 --> 00:36:31.039
The linebacker bites and DJ Miller hit hits that for the big game, right?
00:36:31.359 --> 00:36:33.359
They hit that play two more times inside the toy.
00:36:33.919 --> 00:36:35.519
They didn't run a lot of different stuff.
00:36:35.599 --> 00:36:39.679
Now they ran Derry Foot variations out of that set, but they just couldn't stop them.
00:36:39.839 --> 00:36:44.480
They were running seven-man protection, they were running six-man protection, they were real, they were running the ball.
00:36:44.559 --> 00:36:49.679
And the thing I noticed about the the the running backs is that they ran more decisively this week than last week.
00:36:49.839 --> 00:36:54.319
They went with the they they went with either the first read or the second read, and they just hit the holes.
00:36:54.399 --> 00:36:58.480
They weren't going, they were taking what the what the defense gave them, they weren't trying to like maneuver.
00:36:58.559 --> 00:37:01.839
And I gotta tell you what, Jason Patterson, I think Justin Rowland put this out.
00:37:02.000 --> 00:37:06.960
Jason Patterson's averaging more yards per carry than Benny Snell did or Chris Rodriguez did.
00:37:07.039 --> 00:37:09.439
I'm like this is no knock for backwards.
00:37:10.559 --> 00:37:15.679
And this is no knock, like we didn't even like like Barnes didn't, I don't think Barnes played at all last game.
00:37:15.839 --> 00:37:19.039
Um, you look at Patterson and and and Baxter, they're stuck.
00:37:19.279 --> 00:37:19.839
They play like that.
00:37:19.919 --> 00:37:23.519
That's a one-two one because Baxter in those short yard situations, real hard to stop.
00:37:23.679 --> 00:37:25.359
6'2, 220, really hard.
00:37:25.439 --> 00:37:26.319
I agree with Rain.
00:37:26.399 --> 00:37:30.079
I I think I think Patterson may be the best overall running back on the team.
00:37:30.319 --> 00:37:32.639
I think Baxter, though, is getting stronger, right?
00:37:32.719 --> 00:37:34.559
Like this guy was a five-star plus guy.
00:37:34.639 --> 00:37:36.639
You're starting to see him starting to get it like that.
00:37:37.119 --> 00:37:42.799
Not just a five-star plus, he was the the guy, the the best running back in the country.
00:37:42.879 --> 00:37:49.279
Yeah, if he's 85-90% of what that is, and you ask the Patterson, because I think Patterson's a little bit more of that home run threat.
00:37:49.359 --> 00:37:57.679
Um, that's a hell of a one-two punch that you have because you get a lot got that thunder, not necessarily like you boom and Benny, but you got that thunder and lightning a little bit quicker.
00:37:57.839 --> 00:38:03.599
And that running game, if they start to get it, the offense is gonna be we have, especially with our tight end play.
00:38:03.679 --> 00:38:06.559
And if you watch, I mean, dude, we were handing the ball off to Michael Skinner.
00:38:06.719 --> 00:38:10.399
The dude's a tight end, and he's running freaking jet sweep handoffs.
00:38:10.480 --> 00:38:13.039
Like we have dudes that don't make sense on this team.
00:38:13.119 --> 00:38:14.159
We have freak athletes.
00:38:14.319 --> 00:38:18.799
So I'm really excited to see how how they kind of utilize the uh the team the rest of the season.
00:38:18.879 --> 00:38:44.079
But I mean, man, the way and if you get Barnes back and could get any production out of him that can spell those guys, man, like like like this offense is a chance to to do and and the fact that that Baxter came in after and was like, hey, I uh I was, you know, I was um, you know, we were happy we got the dub, but everybody in the locker room was saying they can't wait to go see the film and see how we can get better because we uh we know we didn't play our best game yet.
00:38:44.480 --> 00:38:52.799
If that's the case, guys, and I listen, and I've told you guys on round of shots privately, they've they've been saying some stuff that everybody rolls their eyes at.
00:38:52.960 --> 00:38:55.279
You saw what they were saying in the offseason now.
00:38:55.439 --> 00:38:57.199
This might this is a damn good football team.
00:38:57.279 --> 00:39:01.279
And if they stay healthy, guys, that this could be a year that we didn't expect.
00:39:02.079 --> 00:39:03.919
Indiana, Indiana.
00:39:04.159 --> 00:39:07.919
Oh not jinxing us, but hey, uh again, props to Indiana.
00:39:08.000 --> 00:39:10.159
They freaking proved that shit is possible.
00:39:10.239 --> 00:39:11.599
Here's the other real quick.
00:39:11.679 --> 00:39:13.039
I gotta share in the chat.
00:39:13.119 --> 00:39:16.159
The the narrative tonight is Davo and his taco bell.
00:39:16.319 --> 00:39:18.399
So my girl Maria wing stop sounds good.
00:39:18.480 --> 00:39:23.199
Yeah, wingstop's always uh Daveo Davo gave some crumbs to his wife.
00:39:23.359 --> 00:39:24.319
Is that accurate, Dave?
00:39:24.559 --> 00:39:25.679
You gave crumbs to your wife?
00:39:26.000 --> 00:39:31.119
I gave crumbs to my dog, I gave my wife multiple whole fries.
00:39:31.359 --> 00:39:31.759
All right.
00:39:32.079 --> 00:39:34.159
Uh eating once a day okay.
00:39:34.559 --> 00:39:35.439
Are you hungry, Paul?
00:39:36.319 --> 00:39:37.759
All right, uh, let's see.
00:39:38.000 --> 00:39:41.199
Spawn, the best win in my since 2000.
00:39:41.519 --> 00:39:44.799
Ooh, it's I mean, it's a it's a big a road win.
00:39:44.960 --> 00:39:46.239
I mean, think about this, guys.
00:39:46.319 --> 00:39:53.439
Uh you can say what you want about the rankings right now because no one really knows, but the rankings are the ranking.
00:39:53.599 --> 00:40:05.519
We went into Texas in a uh a hundred plus a hundred and some plus thousand people there, a hundred and fifty-ish degrees still, and then we did yeah, it's a win.
00:40:05.679 --> 00:40:06.480
Okay, it's a big win.
00:40:06.719 --> 00:40:08.319
Can I can can I pause you right there?
00:40:08.480 --> 00:40:12.319
Because I'm I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna get on my high horse here for a second when we talk about that.
00:40:12.480 --> 00:40:20.079
All right, your meeting is I'm getting really tired of seeing oh AM's overrated, yada yada yada bullshit, right?
00:40:20.159 --> 00:40:23.679
And it's only from two very certain fan bases, and we know who that is, okay.
00:40:24.000 --> 00:40:26.559
Fantasy and and and the team down 64.
00:40:27.599 --> 00:40:28.559
Send Rando the link.
00:40:28.719 --> 00:40:30.879
He's uh he's let's get rando in here, really?
00:40:31.119 --> 00:40:32.639
Okay, yeah, get random in here.
00:40:33.679 --> 00:40:40.000
But listen, it is extremely difficult to win on the road, especially in football in conference play, okay.
00:40:40.319 --> 00:40:42.159
In front of 105,000 people.
00:40:42.399 --> 00:40:43.039
Yeah, okay.
00:40:43.119 --> 00:40:44.799
So miss me with that bullshit.
00:40:44.879 --> 00:40:46.639
Like, really, really just stop with that.
00:40:46.719 --> 00:40:46.960
Okay.
00:40:47.519 --> 00:40:51.839
I can I I'm gonna compare this to I guess apples to oranges here, right?
00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:59.039
Teams will fans of other teams will brag when they come in and beat Kentucky in Ruperina when Kentucky's not a very good program, okay?
00:40:59.199 --> 00:41:02.799
Those same kind of fans will will brag about that win, okay?
00:41:03.039 --> 00:41:05.759
So shut up with it wasn't an impressive win.
00:41:05.839 --> 00:41:06.480
Okay, thank you.
00:41:06.559 --> 00:41:06.960
I'm done.
00:41:07.039 --> 00:41:07.599
Yeah, no, no.
00:41:11.119 --> 00:41:14.799
Who a lot of people picked to potentially win the national championship.
00:41:14.960 --> 00:41:17.279
A lot of people also pick to potentially win the SEC.
00:41:17.839 --> 00:41:22.399
Yes, they have deficient deficiencies, but you you had like the same deficiency.
00:41:22.480 --> 00:41:23.839
Every team has deficiencies.
00:41:23.919 --> 00:41:26.079
There's no perfect team out there, like no.
00:41:26.879 --> 00:41:30.559
And and you can't go on the road and tell me an SEC top 10 win.
00:41:30.639 --> 00:41:33.839
You can't tell me a top 10 win period against anybody is easy.
00:41:34.000 --> 00:41:36.480
And all we heard is about their defense, defense, defense, defense.
00:41:36.559 --> 00:41:37.039
Well, guess what?
00:41:37.279 --> 00:41:38.559
All right, guys, I lied.
00:41:38.639 --> 00:41:40.639
Uh I'm not gonna end this at 10.
00:41:40.879 --> 00:41:41.439
Travard.
00:41:41.599 --> 00:41:44.319
I know you can if you need to bounce, you you have to.
00:41:44.399 --> 00:41:48.879
Uh, we're just we're having so much fun fucking talking about uh a great win yesterday.
00:41:48.960 --> 00:41:52.319
And I'm not gonna watch the Davo eat freaking Taco Bell though, Kevin.
00:41:52.399 --> 00:41:53.199
Yeah, we want to do it.
00:41:53.359 --> 00:41:54.159
All right, Kyle.
00:41:54.239 --> 00:41:55.359
I sent you the uh check.
00:41:56.000 --> 00:41:57.039
One more mic, one more mic.
00:41:57.119 --> 00:41:59.119
Uh bug that I have though, Kevin.
00:41:59.359 --> 00:42:01.279
Please stay with us as long as you can.
00:42:01.519 --> 00:42:02.799
We love our Travard.
00:42:02.960 --> 00:42:03.759
Kyle, welcome.
00:42:03.839 --> 00:42:04.639
Good to see you, brother.
00:42:04.879 --> 00:42:05.279
Say, man.
00:42:05.359 --> 00:42:12.639
I heard y'all talking about this game, and I've been uh, you know, we got to talk about it yesterday uh on our show, but I'm still I'm I mean, shoot, I gotta go to work tomorrow.
00:42:12.719 --> 00:42:14.079
I'm still celebrating because why not?
00:42:14.239 --> 00:42:15.279
Yeah, as we are.
00:42:15.519 --> 00:42:18.639
Give us uh real quick, let you get caught up.
00:42:18.799 --> 00:42:25.679
Um, take us through what was your um your what did you share with your audience, your show uh uh of the game.
00:42:25.919 --> 00:42:32.000
Yeah, uh so I love that the offense finally started to open up a little bit.
00:42:32.079 --> 00:42:42.719
Uh I really believe that the the throw to DJ Miller, uh, you know, that Kenny Minchie dropped in a bucket and he he pro he went through the process, found the open guy, um, and made a perfect throw.
00:42:42.960 --> 00:42:48.239
And that was a thing, in my personal opinion, that like made Sloan believe to take the training wheels off.
00:42:48.319 --> 00:42:54.079
Because I know there was a lot of hate for Minchie on the internet, or maybe hate's a strong word, but there was there was some question marks on Minchie.
00:42:54.159 --> 00:42:54.879
Um, doubt.
00:42:55.039 --> 00:42:57.519
That's that's a good word um about Minchie.
00:42:57.599 --> 00:42:59.759
And they kept saying, like, he he's not seeing it.
00:42:59.839 --> 00:43:02.960
And I I don't I don't didn't think it was a processing issue.
00:43:03.039 --> 00:43:15.679
And the football people on the show can let me know, like, it wasn't a like I'm not processing what Sloan is showing me or like what Will Stein's offense is, it was a confidence thing where like I see it and I just I'm not getting it out there, right?
00:43:15.759 --> 00:43:19.439
Um, that throw was a thing that okay, boom, it's there.
00:43:19.519 --> 00:43:26.559
And Sloan even said it himself like we have not unlocked Minchie yet, and then we saw in the second half um how this thing went.
00:43:26.639 --> 00:43:32.239
And when when Minchie has it going, he's making decisions, he's trusting his arm and the run game's going.
00:43:32.480 --> 00:43:38.879
You essentially saw the inverse of Bama, Kentucky at home for Texas AM on the road, right?
00:43:39.519 --> 00:43:43.439
Texas AM was running the ball down our faces in the first half.
00:43:43.599 --> 00:43:47.599
If they wouldn't have put the ball in Marcel Reed's hands, they might have had a different outcome.
00:43:47.759 --> 00:43:48.639
But that's a good point.
00:43:49.359 --> 00:44:00.239
Fortunately for us, fortunately for us, they did, and unfortunately for them, they did because like Marcel Reed's a stud, but like he's not a great quarterback, he's not a great thrower at the football.
00:44:00.319 --> 00:44:04.399
His fundamentals aren't great, and he he missed a lot of wide open receivers.
00:44:04.559 --> 00:44:15.599
So when they put their defense in a disadvantaged position in the second half and they were tired, our offensive line, which is pretty good, was just pounding that defensive line that was tired.
00:44:15.679 --> 00:44:18.879
And when the run game got going, then you saw these quick outs.
00:44:19.119 --> 00:44:22.960
I mean, they were in the same play to Mikhail Skinner twice, and both times they went for 12 yards.
00:44:23.039 --> 00:44:27.679
Like the defense just didn't have answers, and it made it real easy for Will Stein and Joe Sloan.
00:44:27.759 --> 00:44:35.519
So what you saw was a coaching staff that has it figured out, and that if we don't kill ourselves, we're gonna be competitive in every single game.
00:44:35.599 --> 00:44:39.039
It doesn't matter who we play, it'll be LSU, it'll be Tennessee, it'll be Oklahoma.
00:44:39.439 --> 00:44:41.519
It doesn't matter who we play, we will be competitive.
00:44:41.599 --> 00:44:45.759
If we don't turn the ball over like we did in Alabama, we will be in these things.
00:44:45.919 --> 00:44:49.039
Which, if you're a Kentucky football fan, like that's gotta excite you.
00:44:49.119 --> 00:44:52.000
Like you gotta be looking at what we have and like building for the future.
00:44:52.159 --> 00:44:53.919
Like we have a dude at head coach.
00:44:54.399 --> 00:45:03.839
What we saw again yesterday watching the game, the one thing that stood out to me, uh that I was the most impressed about was the physicality, man.
00:45:04.000 --> 00:45:06.559
Uh this that was SEC, Paul.
00:45:06.799 --> 00:45:07.599
Physicality.
00:45:07.759 --> 00:45:20.719
Uh, I don't know it how you saw it on the field, but I mean, you got it, it was just to me, it's like, yes, this is this is a team that can can compete with that upper tier.
00:45:20.879 --> 00:45:31.279
Now, forget, you know, we were thinking probably during the what was a youngstown state game that coach uh Stein was kind of shortening his playbook to not tip off Bama.
00:45:31.679 --> 00:45:36.639
Do you think maybe he was shortening his playbook uh against Bama not to tip off AM?
00:45:36.799 --> 00:45:37.679
No, I'm joking.
00:45:38.000 --> 00:45:43.919
No, I think he shortened his playbook because I think I think he shortened his playbook because I mean he openly says this in the press conference, right?
00:45:44.000 --> 00:45:45.519
Like, and I think I mentioned it earlier.
00:45:45.599 --> 00:45:50.799
He he shortened the playbook because he wanted him to be really, really good at the execution of those plays.
00:45:50.960 --> 00:45:56.000
And it doesn't just mean, right, like it's like you're running like you know, uh, two hitches and an under.
00:45:56.079 --> 00:46:02.239
Like there's four, three or four variants of the you know, the way these guys are are lining up and playing and executing the plays, right?
00:46:02.480 --> 00:46:06.799
So uh, you know, I I and I didn't agree with and and sign and also agree.
00:46:06.879 --> 00:46:09.759
Like, I did not show stuff against uh young sign.
00:46:09.919 --> 00:46:11.919
He's like, I coach, you know, I coach to win.
00:46:12.000 --> 00:46:20.960
Um but when you look at you know, when you look at the when you look at kind of he throws what was he trying to say, Kyle.
00:46:21.119 --> 00:46:25.919
When you look at uh here, let me put myself in Paul's brain.
00:46:26.159 --> 00:46:26.480
Exactly.
00:46:26.559 --> 00:46:33.519
Um lower your voice to your what he was gonna say is like anything Rando says is pretty much 100% accurate.
00:46:33.679 --> 00:46:39.119
I've never met anybody who knows ball more than at all UK ball underscore HPS.
00:46:39.199 --> 00:46:42.639
I think that's what probably is probably giving you props to your look, maybe.
00:46:42.879 --> 00:46:44.639
You know, he got the I don't know about that.
00:46:44.719 --> 00:46:45.759
I don't know about that.
00:46:46.159 --> 00:46:48.879
Well, I do this is completely off topic.
00:46:48.960 --> 00:46:52.960
They sent out the pictures for um uh media madness.
00:46:53.119 --> 00:46:58.000
A lot of pictures, uh or there's like three or four pictures of Paul, you know, trying to play defense and trying to shoot.
00:46:59.119 --> 00:47:00.879
Not a single picture of me doing my thing.
00:47:00.960 --> 00:47:03.839
It was one picture of me celebrating somebody else making a shot.
00:47:03.919 --> 00:47:05.519
I was like, what the hell happened here?
00:47:05.759 --> 00:47:06.399
I you know it.
00:47:06.480 --> 00:47:08.159
I is but that that's not your problem.
00:47:08.239 --> 00:47:09.199
I I shouldn't yell at you.
00:47:09.279 --> 00:47:11.439
That's that's Kentucky camera clicker problem.
00:47:12.239 --> 00:47:16.559
I don't know which uh which Paul you're trying to come in, add him to the stage.
00:47:16.719 --> 00:47:17.599
You're not coming in.
00:47:17.679 --> 00:47:19.439
I don't know what's going on with you, Bruv.
00:47:19.519 --> 00:47:20.159
I feel this though.
00:47:20.239 --> 00:47:22.879
When I was living in San Marcos, my internet was absolutely terrible.
00:47:22.960 --> 00:47:25.119
ATT uh was the worst.
00:47:25.679 --> 00:47:26.879
He's in the state of Kentucky.
00:47:27.039 --> 00:47:29.039
Paul, I don't know which I'm at trying to add him.
00:47:29.119 --> 00:47:29.679
He's not coming in.
00:47:33.119 --> 00:47:34.000
Anyway, okay.
00:47:34.159 --> 00:47:38.480
Let's uh Trevard, I'm again I'm trying to be courtesy, respectful of your time.
00:47:38.559 --> 00:47:39.199
Where are you at?
00:47:39.359 --> 00:47:40.879
How much time you got to bounce?
00:47:41.199 --> 00:47:42.719
Uh I'm gonna bounce about two minutes.
00:47:42.960 --> 00:47:43.599
Two minutes.
00:47:43.839 --> 00:47:45.199
You said that five minutes ago.
00:47:45.439 --> 00:47:46.399
I did five minutes.
00:47:46.639 --> 00:47:47.279
Uh you know what?
00:47:47.519 --> 00:47:48.799
I'll see you at 10:30.
00:47:48.879 --> 00:47:50.239
We'll be talking at 10 30.
00:47:50.319 --> 00:47:52.399
Uh let's go, guys, the running game.
00:47:52.559 --> 00:47:54.319
Dave O Baxter and Patterson.
00:47:54.480 --> 00:47:57.439
Baxter, 19 carries, 87 yards, two touchdowns.
00:47:57.679 --> 00:47:59.919
Patterson, six carries, 58 yards.
00:48:00.079 --> 00:48:09.279
Fucking strong 58 together, a running core together, 25 carries, 145 yards against an AM, you know, AM defense.
00:48:09.359 --> 00:48:16.799
We've talked off all off season, Dave, about Stein's passing offense, but how much did the running game really change games?
00:48:16.960 --> 00:48:22.719
Well, remember, Stein's offense used multiple, multiple running backs, and that was to get the pass going.
00:48:22.799 --> 00:48:26.399
Um, so you're seeing exactly what we thought we would see.
00:48:26.480 --> 00:48:36.480
Um, like I said, I mean, we we talked about how lack of basical it was, you know, week two, and now you're seeing what it could be and what it should be and what it's probably gonna be from this point on.
00:48:36.719 --> 00:48:39.359
Um Jason Patterson, he should be RB1.
00:48:39.679 --> 00:48:41.759
Um, I totally understand why he's not.
00:48:41.919 --> 00:48:46.159
Obviously, CJ Backs are in his his prestige coming in, you know, from Texas.
00:48:46.319 --> 00:48:52.239
Um, but it's uh good as a one-two punch as you you can hope for in Stein's first year.
00:48:52.399 --> 00:48:54.319
Um who said it.
00:48:54.399 --> 00:48:58.719
Uh, maybe it was Aaron Torres said, you know, this is gonna be Stein's worst team.
00:48:58.960 --> 00:49:05.199
Okay, and so if this is if this is gonna be his worst team, you know, we're in for a hell of a ride.
00:49:05.519 --> 00:49:08.079
Um, and just think, I mean, he came in with signing days.
00:49:08.159 --> 00:49:11.759
His first day was actually like national signing day, his first full day.
00:49:12.000 --> 00:49:20.879
Um, so just think of what he's gonna be able to do, you know, with all with with with with a full year to full staff to recruit and really hit the portal even harder and faster.
00:49:20.960 --> 00:49:24.319
Um, so I mean, I'm I'm over in the mood excited for what could be.
00:49:24.799 --> 00:49:28.480
Kai, uh, your uh take on the the running game.
00:49:28.559 --> 00:49:30.239
This is a two-headed beast yesterday to me.
00:49:30.319 --> 00:49:30.480
Yeah.
00:49:32.799 --> 00:49:34.879
Oh, Trevar, you got all right, good to see you, bro.
00:49:35.039 --> 00:49:35.519
I'll be in touch.
00:49:35.759 --> 00:49:37.359
Well, all right, let's take care of it all right.
00:49:37.679 --> 00:49:41.919
Um, but yeah, the running game, I think like everyone knows what it is.
00:49:42.079 --> 00:49:47.759
If you have a good running game in football, it just opens up all those other avenues of the game.
00:49:47.919 --> 00:49:52.960
Um, especially in an offense that I think knows how to run the play action right.
00:49:53.119 --> 00:49:59.279
Like they know how that's a good thing I'll give Kenny Minchie is he knows how to hand the ball off, but then keep it real quick.
00:49:59.439 --> 00:50:04.319
He he looks like he's going to be handing the ball off when he's passing, and and vice versa.
00:50:04.480 --> 00:50:07.279
So there's a lot of mix-up there for a defense.
00:50:07.359 --> 00:50:14.799
And I think just them having options, and even Paul's talked about it tonight, how we haven't seen every play out of every formation.
00:50:15.039 --> 00:50:18.879
If there's a certain formation, we know there's five plays that can be ran out of it.
00:50:18.960 --> 00:50:28.639
Um, so I think I just think Baxter and Patterson have done so much in in terms of being able to keep our options open, uh, point blank period.
00:50:29.039 --> 00:50:32.239
And they do it by trucking people over and and running fast.
00:50:32.319 --> 00:50:33.359
So that's always good too.
00:50:33.599 --> 00:50:40.079
Uh Paul's coming in late to this chat, but uh Kyle, I'll let you kind of fill fill keep going with this.
00:50:40.159 --> 00:50:41.759
The running game, Baxter and Patterson.
00:50:42.079 --> 00:50:42.960
What are you thinking with this?
00:50:43.119 --> 00:50:58.000
Yeah, no, it's a great one-two punch, um, but it needs to become more equal in carries because late late in the game, um, as I was watching CJ get through the hole and then get six eight-yard runs, which was great.
00:50:58.079 --> 00:51:04.000
I'm not gonna complain about six, eight-yard runs, but in my mind, I'm thinking if that's Patterson, that's a 20-yard run.
00:51:04.159 --> 00:51:09.519
Because as good as CJ Baxter is, and I know he was a highly titled recruit, like the guy.
00:51:09.679 --> 00:51:11.679
Unfortunately, at this point, he's just slow.
00:51:11.759 --> 00:51:17.439
Like, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not trying to beat him up, but you watch him, he is just slow, especially compared to what Patterson is.
00:51:17.599 --> 00:51:22.799
You know, I mean, you're talking 4-4 Patterson compared to like 4-6, if not less.
00:51:22.879 --> 00:51:24.799
I mean, you you saw the the the play.
00:51:24.960 --> 00:51:27.439
Minchy did the check down uh to Patterson.
00:51:27.519 --> 00:51:33.199
He caught the ball, he got good yardage, but I mean, he ain't striding the thing out in with a lot of speed, you know what I'm saying?
00:51:33.279 --> 00:51:39.119
Like he was watching, and and all the 36-year-olds is like, I think I could do that, like I might be able to run that fast, you know.
00:51:39.199 --> 00:51:49.919
But if you put the ball in Patterson's hand in that moment, and uh it's probably a trust issue at this point, like, hey, I went out and got Baxter, I trust him to carry the ball, hold it tight, not fumble, not make bad decisions.
00:51:50.079 --> 00:51:58.079
But as we get down in the season, it needs to be more of a 50-50 split, in my in my opinion, because Patterson is the better, more explosive running back.
00:51:58.159 --> 00:52:05.199
And then you got CJ, who, like I said in your comments before, like if you give him 15-20 carries a game, it's it's like that, you know.
00:52:05.279 --> 00:52:13.599
I'm not comparing him to Marshawn Lynch, but it's the Marshawn Lynch, it's the Derrick Henry effect where eventually the defense is tired of tackling this big son of a bitch, right?
00:52:13.839 --> 00:52:17.359
Like, I'm I'm I'm done hitting this dude, and now I'm breaking tackles.
00:52:17.519 --> 00:52:22.239
It doesn't matter necessarily how fast I am, I'm gonna get the yards I need to continue to move the sticks.
00:52:22.399 --> 00:52:25.519
Paul coming back in, the talking point here is the running game.
00:52:25.679 --> 00:52:26.879
Baxter and Patterson.
00:52:26.960 --> 00:52:35.839
Uh, again, back or Baxter 19 carries, 87 yards, two TDs, Patterson six carries, 58 yards together, 25 and 145.
00:52:36.239 --> 00:52:37.439
Do we need to?
00:52:38.399 --> 00:52:40.480
Well, first of all, I'm two two-part questions.
00:52:40.719 --> 00:52:43.359
Baxter also had a 28 28 yard reception, too.
00:52:43.439 --> 00:52:45.119
So he had over 100 all-purpose yards.
00:52:45.279 --> 00:52:46.159
That's a damn good point.
00:52:46.399 --> 00:52:52.399
Two part question for what I was talking about, but but it took 17 seconds for that play to happen.
00:52:53.199 --> 00:52:54.480
A little bit, a little bit, yeah.
00:52:56.480 --> 00:52:57.119
Not that slow.
00:52:57.439 --> 00:52:58.799
Two-part question for you, Paul.
00:52:58.960 --> 00:53:03.119
Uh, what what do you think about the Baxter Patterson combination?
00:53:03.359 --> 00:53:06.319
And do we need to see more Patterson going forward?
00:53:06.639 --> 00:53:07.199
I think so.
00:53:07.359 --> 00:53:13.679
I mean, look at his pr you look at his production on six carries, six carries, 58 yards, averaged 9.7 a carry.
00:53:13.839 --> 00:53:18.079
Um, I think they trusted Baxter maybe a little bit more just because he's a little bit older.
00:53:18.239 --> 00:53:20.159
Um, and he look he played well.
00:53:20.239 --> 00:53:22.960
I mean, let's not he got he got the ugly yards, right?
00:53:23.039 --> 00:53:36.159
And the other thing too, I think back I think Baxter's a little bit better on the pass protect than Patterson is and and and the way we were setting up some of those, some of those, you know, seven seven max protect uh for some of those explosive plays.
00:53:36.319 --> 00:53:37.919
But yeah, I think Patterson deserves it.
00:53:38.079 --> 00:53:39.199
Like I would like to see the split.
00:53:39.279 --> 00:53:44.559
If you're gonna run the ball 30 times, I think I'd rather see, I think it'd be like 18-12 would be a good split.
00:53:44.719 --> 00:53:50.319
Um, you I don't know if Patterson's the guy you want when it's you know you're in the five-yard line and you're running the line.
00:53:50.799 --> 00:53:53.119
Look, like Baxter was taking those guys when he got inside the bigger.
00:53:53.279 --> 00:53:54.000
TJ's the thumper.
00:53:54.079 --> 00:53:54.719
TJ's the thumper.
00:53:54.879 --> 00:53:56.480
He's a bruiser, he's a bruiser back.
00:53:56.559 --> 00:54:04.480
He's not, he, he's he's big enough that you get a hole and he's fast enough that he can go for 30, 40 yards, but he's not going to break a 75-yard touchdown, more than likely.
00:54:04.559 --> 00:54:07.679
He might break a 35-yard touchdown, but probably not 75.
00:54:07.759 --> 00:54:10.559
Um, I think that it's developing into a really good combo.
00:54:10.639 --> 00:54:12.960
Uh, the offensive line is playing really well.
00:54:13.119 --> 00:54:16.719
Uh, they think they showed a lot a lot more poise and composure.
00:54:16.879 --> 00:54:18.639
I think they moved the pocket in the right way.
00:54:18.719 --> 00:54:23.439
They had a lot more um off uh uh uneven formations that threw the defense off.
00:54:23.519 --> 00:54:30.559
So I think that's what you're gonna start to see where maybe they realize in some of the that maybe there is a deficiency or two on the on the O-line.
00:54:30.799 --> 00:54:32.399
That's not a knock, it just is.
00:54:32.480 --> 00:54:38.159
And if you go with the unbalanced line look, now you really make the defense's eyes look and you look at like the touchdown pass that a lot.
00:54:38.239 --> 00:54:42.480
I saw people online go nuts about the timeout before the two-minute timeout.
00:54:42.719 --> 00:54:46.639
I loved it because I'm like, hey, use it, get the right play, get the two-minute timeout out of the way.
00:54:46.879 --> 00:54:49.199
Great, make them have to burn a timeout and go to the length of the field.
00:54:49.279 --> 00:54:50.960
That play call was beautiful, by the way.
00:54:51.359 --> 00:54:52.480
Like it was beautiful.
00:54:52.719 --> 00:54:53.599
The Boyer touchdown?
00:54:53.759 --> 00:54:54.799
Yeah, the first touchdown.
00:54:54.879 --> 00:55:02.159
Yeah, or yeah, the yeah, and so when you're looking at like the tight end, even like the Boyer, that explosive play that they had um in the fourth, right?
00:55:02.239 --> 00:55:06.559
To start the fourth where they got the field goal, like they're just making plays that I think are a lot better.
00:55:06.639 --> 00:55:07.919
But the run game sets up.
00:55:08.000 --> 00:55:11.519
I don't think this is a team that's gonna have to rush for 200 yards for us to win.
00:55:11.599 --> 00:55:15.279
I think if we rush for 200 yards, we probably won't lose that any games.
00:55:15.439 --> 00:55:19.279
But if this team's in the 130 to 150 range, I think we're gonna be really hard to beat.
00:55:19.439 --> 00:55:20.079
All right, guys.
00:55:20.239 --> 00:55:22.960
So I got can I add one thing about the running game, though?
00:55:23.039 --> 00:55:23.359
One thing.
00:55:23.439 --> 00:55:23.919
Oh, go ahead.
00:55:24.079 --> 00:55:27.119
We've mentioned both the running backs, we have not mentioned the quarterback.
00:55:27.199 --> 00:55:28.159
This team becomes different.
00:55:28.480 --> 00:55:30.159
Well, we did before you showed up.
00:55:30.319 --> 00:55:30.879
Sorry, okay.
00:55:30.960 --> 00:55:40.719
Uh just yeah, so this team becomes different if Minchie actually is the former number five dual threat quarterback in the country.
00:55:40.879 --> 00:55:41.279
Yeah.
00:55:41.439 --> 00:55:47.839
And he he did what I wanted to see a little bit in the second half where like it didn't gain a lot of yards, it was like three or four yards each play.
00:55:48.159 --> 00:55:49.359
Split fucking faster.
00:55:49.599 --> 00:55:50.000
Exactly.
00:55:50.079 --> 00:55:52.719
Like, and everybody was like, Oh, you don't know what you're talking about.
00:55:52.799 --> 00:55:55.679
He's he's not that guy, or they're spying, they're spying him, right?
00:55:55.839 --> 00:55:58.799
Okay, first of all, just because a linebacker's in the middle of the field doesn't mean he's spying.
00:55:58.879 --> 00:56:02.079
There's a lot of shit he's got to do uh as things are happening.
00:56:02.239 --> 00:56:08.559
But say he is a spy, you're telling me I have the number five overall dual threat quarterback against a linebacker one-on-one.
00:56:08.799 --> 00:56:11.359
I'll take that, especially if it's five yards down the field.
00:56:11.439 --> 00:56:12.879
That's it at the instant game.
00:56:13.039 --> 00:56:19.759
He's had he had running lanes in the in the first half to where it he didn't he didn't like what if he didn't like what he wanted, just take off and go.
00:56:19.839 --> 00:56:22.799
And he's trying to be a true pocket passer, which I I appreciate.
00:56:22.879 --> 00:56:25.679
Like, like Will Stein is giving uh Will Stein's giving me options.
00:56:25.759 --> 00:56:28.159
So let me sit back here and and figure this thing out.
00:56:28.399 --> 00:56:36.319
But also, dude, you have a God-given gift of speed and legs to like just go, like one, two, fuck it, go.
00:56:36.480 --> 00:56:38.159
Like put your foot in the ground and go.
00:56:38.319 --> 00:56:52.399
Uh, if if he becomes that thing, also like if you watch the game, the things that we call RPO or like a read option, it looks that way, but it doesn't seem like it's actually called that because it Minchy's not actually reading the DN coming down, crashing hard on the running back.
00:56:52.480 --> 00:56:53.839
He's always handing the ball off.
00:56:54.000 --> 00:56:59.199
If you just have him keep it two or three times a game, this this offense absolutely explodes.
00:56:59.279 --> 00:57:11.439
I'm telling you, if he can get to the Joe Sloan 40, 50 yards a uh a game in in uh either like scramble drill, rushing yards, or actual designed run plays for the quarterback, bro.
00:57:11.519 --> 00:57:19.359
This the the defense we play doesn't matter what caliber, they're always gonna be guessing because it's the element of is this dude gonna take off, right?
00:57:19.839 --> 00:57:28.319
We're watching right now, if you're watching primetime football, Patrick Mahomes is not like some speed demon, but he knows how to take off and when to take off, right?
00:57:28.559 --> 00:57:37.039
If Minchie can get to that level, not Patrick Mahomes, like you know, I'm not calling him Patrick Mahomes, but if he can just get to the like, I know at this point when to go take off and go.
00:57:37.199 --> 00:57:42.879
Just know knowing that it's not there and taking off and improvise and go get downfield, this offense is gonna be dangerous.
00:57:42.960 --> 00:57:45.519
And and that's maybe like next year, Minchie.
00:57:45.599 --> 00:57:48.480
That's season two, Minchie, uh, in the Will Stein thing.
00:57:48.559 --> 00:57:56.639
But if we can do it now, listen, I'm just I'm not saying that I just watched LSP play and I watched Levitt do what he did in Ole Miss, that was gonna be a blowout.
00:57:56.719 --> 00:57:57.919
I less think that right now.
00:57:58.559 --> 00:58:05.839
I I went, I went to when I was, I mean, being at the game and in the press box, you have the uh the luxury of seeing more of the field than you do on TV.
00:58:05.919 --> 00:58:22.239
And to Rando's point, if he if there was a couple where he was like this, I mean he got like Jersey tug hit, then go if he goes, does kind of like he says and it's like go, the hole was there, and there's dude, he would have probably rushed for 60 or 70 yards himself if he goes.
00:58:22.399 --> 00:58:24.239
That is a dynamic I'd like to see him go.
00:58:24.319 --> 00:58:28.399
Like, I think he's wanting the play to develop, and it's like that next level of evolution for him.
00:58:28.480 --> 00:58:37.279
And if that clicks early in this season, like guy, I when I'm telling you, like I look at our schedule and I'm like, I don't think there's a team that we can't beat anymore on the schedule.
00:58:37.359 --> 00:58:38.960
I sure as no no offense, guy.
00:58:39.039 --> 00:58:42.879
I sure shouldn't think we're going into Norman and and they're kicking our ass.
00:58:42.960 --> 00:58:55.599
Like, if you had to get Kentucky all game that that game, if they can't figure out their run game, Oklahoma, Oklahoma gets legit, like becomes a legit game because uh it's gonna be the same thing we saw with Marcel Reed.
00:58:56.159 --> 00:58:59.919
Unfortunately, if you're an Oklahoma fan, their quarterback has not been able to figure it out.
00:59:00.000 --> 00:59:04.799
So if you put the ball in there in his hands, it becomes dangerous for your team offensively.
00:59:05.599 --> 00:59:07.199
They only rushed the ball 12 times.
00:59:07.359 --> 00:59:08.879
They rushed the ball to your point.
00:59:08.960 --> 00:59:15.199
Like I did this, they rushed the ball 23 times in the first half for 102 yards.
00:59:15.279 --> 00:59:19.199
They rushed the ball 12 times the rest of it, and I think seven of those.
00:59:19.279 --> 00:59:22.960
Now, but here is the thing, I will say, Kentucky also limited the run.
00:59:23.039 --> 00:59:26.399
They at they started stuffing the run a lot better, which made them open up.
00:59:26.480 --> 00:59:28.079
Like they got a little bit closer to the line.
00:59:28.159 --> 00:59:29.119
So they did adjust.
00:59:29.199 --> 00:59:34.159
And that first drive, though, they ran it down our that first drive and part of that second drive, they ran it out of our ass.
00:59:34.239 --> 00:59:35.039
And they did.
00:59:35.199 --> 00:59:37.119
We adjusted and made him start to throw.
00:59:37.199 --> 00:59:39.199
We brought him up, we played more man coverage.
00:59:39.359 --> 00:59:42.639
Now, a lot of the rushing yards in the fourth quarter was just Marcel Reed getting loose.
00:59:42.799 --> 00:59:42.879
Right.
00:59:42.960 --> 00:59:46.319
Like the thing that made his three yards and 60 of them was it was him.
00:59:46.559 --> 00:59:50.159
So so I think but the other two thing, too, is we were we're missing.
00:59:50.319 --> 00:59:54.000
We're also missing, you know, uh uh was Harkless was out.
00:59:54.079 --> 01:00:00.960
Um, and but if you notice too, Alex Safari played a lot more in higher in higher risk situations.
01:00:01.119 --> 01:00:03.359
The linebackers were a lot more frustrating that game.
01:00:03.439 --> 01:00:06.000
They started rotating all three, they played less snaps.
01:00:06.079 --> 01:00:09.199
Um, and then the run game, they slowly started chipping away at that.
01:00:09.279 --> 01:00:13.759
They also brought uh Ty Bryan up a little bit closer to the line of scrimmage, so they made an adjustment.
01:00:13.839 --> 01:00:18.639
And I think that that's something that this like that's something that was really impressive as as well.
01:00:18.799 --> 01:00:23.199
But I think this defense shows like one, they were like, maybe our corners aren't gonna be very good.
01:00:23.279 --> 01:00:25.839
I think our corners are a lot better than people give them credit for.
01:00:25.919 --> 01:00:32.719
Now, like we're we had the propensity to give up a big play, but they're ball hawks, and this team just has to get back into the flow of this thing, dude.
01:00:33.039 --> 01:00:40.079
Nichols, nickels absolutely destroyed their their wide receiver on that one play where he almost went like through him for the pick.
01:00:40.159 --> 01:00:41.279
I mean, that game could have been ugly.
01:00:41.359 --> 01:00:43.359
Like Reach could have thrown four or five picks.
01:00:43.439 --> 01:00:49.759
Like it was it was all like there was throws that he made that were bad that if they would have been good were probably interceptions.
01:00:49.919 --> 01:01:02.000
The the Kentucky depth is is is an issue, but if you look at Marquise, Bo, Ty, works, maybe Afari, maybe Afari if he goes in there, and then Nichols or whoever you want to put as our top corner.
01:01:02.079 --> 01:01:13.039
Like, if you look just layer the defense, that those four would compete with most of the SEC, not Bama, maybe not the corners in in the D-line piece of of uh of Georgia.
01:01:13.119 --> 01:01:18.399
So Georgia and Bama, maybe the two outliers, but everybody else in the in the SEC, you would put those four with everybody.
01:01:18.559 --> 01:01:25.199
Now it's the pieces that come in behind those four that become the issue because it's Will Stein's first year and depth in his first year is the issue.
01:01:25.279 --> 01:01:29.439
But like what I guess what I'm getting at is our first team defense has the ability.
01:01:29.919 --> 01:01:31.199
First team period is very good.
01:01:31.359 --> 01:01:32.319
Yes, like it.
01:01:32.480 --> 01:01:33.039
Sorry, go ahead.
01:01:33.199 --> 01:01:34.399
No, I'm gonna keep this going.
01:01:34.480 --> 01:01:37.199
I've got some talking points, and I'm I freaking totally lied.
01:01:37.279 --> 01:01:40.879
I thought I was gonna go about 60 minutes, but we're we're past that.
01:01:40.960 --> 01:01:43.679
Uh we gotta give a shout out to the offensive line, guys.
01:01:43.759 --> 01:01:51.439
Uh Dave, oh, I'm um two-part question, and I want every time I'm in because my bladder is telling me to go to that room back there.
01:01:51.599 --> 01:01:55.919
Daveo, how much credit does the offensive line deserve for what happened at Confield?
01:01:56.079 --> 01:02:01.439
And was this the most physical Kentucky has looked offensively through three games?
01:02:01.679 --> 01:02:02.719
Oh, yeah, 100%.
01:02:03.039 --> 01:02:05.599
We saw that through three years.
01:02:06.799 --> 01:02:09.599
I'm gonna keep I'm gonna keep beating dead horse here, you know.
01:02:09.919 --> 01:02:10.719
We saw.
01:02:10.879 --> 01:02:11.599
Oh my god.
01:02:11.759 --> 01:02:13.519
Please stop, it's too late.
01:02:13.679 --> 01:02:14.079
Shit.
01:02:14.239 --> 01:02:15.359
I apologize.
01:02:15.599 --> 01:02:17.839
Um, we saw that, you know.
01:02:18.399 --> 01:02:20.000
Hold on, we've been wanting to see that.
01:02:20.159 --> 01:02:20.559
Correct.
01:02:20.719 --> 01:02:23.039
We've been wanting to see more physicality off the line.
01:02:23.199 --> 01:02:25.679
We wanted to see what this offensive running game can do.
01:02:25.759 --> 01:02:35.119
Okay, and like I said, we heard all week about this Texas AM defensive front, how deep they are, what they can do to stop the run, and they got totally exposed.
01:02:35.279 --> 01:02:36.399
And um, yeah, bro.
01:02:36.480 --> 01:02:38.239
I mean, it's just super exciting to see.
01:02:38.319 --> 01:02:40.079
Like I said, this is only game three.
01:02:40.159 --> 01:02:42.480
I mean, these guys are coming together more and more and more.
01:02:42.559 --> 01:02:43.519
Um, so meet y'all.
01:02:44.079 --> 01:02:44.799
That's a hell of a drug.
01:02:45.039 --> 01:02:47.199
Momentum is a hell of a drug, especially with this coach.
01:02:47.279 --> 01:02:48.960
Like this it can be dangerous.
01:02:49.199 --> 01:02:50.319
He makes you feel invincible.
01:02:50.399 --> 01:02:51.839
I mean, I took Randall.
01:02:51.919 --> 01:02:54.239
I did I tell you what he said in the in the tunnel.
01:02:54.480 --> 01:02:55.439
I don't know if I did or not.
01:02:55.599 --> 01:02:56.879
Yeah, I'm not gonna say it here.
01:02:56.960 --> 01:03:00.079
Um, I'm sworn to I'm not sworn to secrecy, but I'm just not gonna do it.
01:03:00.159 --> 01:03:04.639
Um, that mentality, though, is is why I think it's so infectious.
01:03:04.799 --> 01:03:08.719
This win is an infectious win, and I think you can carry this team a long way.
01:03:09.119 --> 01:03:09.439
100%.
01:03:09.759 --> 01:03:14.399
And and I it has been more focused on the on the basketball team as of late.
01:03:14.559 --> 01:03:23.039
But if you if you follow me at all, like just even slightly, you know that I talk about the locker room and like culture a metric shit ton.
01:03:23.119 --> 01:03:24.159
Like I talk about it all the time.
01:03:24.319 --> 01:03:26.480
What what Wolstein has done to the culture?
01:03:26.639 --> 01:03:31.759
CJ talked about it on on uh what what's the show with Shayshae and Ocho, uh Nightcap?
01:03:32.000 --> 01:03:33.039
Um yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:03:33.119 --> 01:03:34.399
Like he was on Nightcap last night.
01:03:34.480 --> 01:03:43.919
He's talking about like we think we have equal value, equal talented teams throughout the SEC, but we have what we have better than everybody else is culture, is essentially what he was saying.
01:03:44.000 --> 01:03:50.159
So, like when the town is equal, culture's gonna win, is what CJ Baxter said on on uh the show last night.
01:03:50.319 --> 01:03:52.799
So when you have that, like that's special.
01:03:52.960 --> 01:03:54.719
Like they believe they can win games.
01:03:54.799 --> 01:03:55.519
That's huge.
01:03:55.679 --> 01:04:01.519
Now, I am curious to see because we're gonna we're getting ready to go smack South Alabama, slap them next.
01:04:01.679 --> 01:04:04.399
Yeah, I mean, like it's it's we're gonna just tear them apart.
01:04:04.480 --> 01:04:05.519
But I am curious.
01:04:05.599 --> 01:04:15.439
So after a a huge win at AM, smacking a team that we should smack, and now we travel to probably ranked ranked, more than likely ranked going into that game.
01:04:15.599 --> 01:04:17.119
We we should be, but who knows?
01:04:17.199 --> 01:04:20.879
Um I I don't think we'll get the respect we should at that point, depends on who loses.
01:04:20.960 --> 01:04:23.359
Uh, but even we'll we'll be right outside the top 25.
01:04:23.439 --> 01:04:26.879
So I think in my personal opinion, that will be the game that will get us ranked, right?
01:04:26.960 --> 01:04:32.879
So we play South Carolina, baby beamer on the road, a team that we should beat because Lenora Sellers ain't it.
01:04:32.960 --> 01:04:33.599
I'm telling you that right.
01:04:33.839 --> 01:04:34.879
I've been saying it for two years.
01:04:34.960 --> 01:04:35.439
He's not it.
01:04:35.839 --> 01:04:38.399
He's basically Marcel Reed light, maybe a little bit better runner.
01:04:38.559 --> 01:04:41.759
Well, yeah, he's he's throwing wise, but heavier.
01:04:41.839 --> 01:04:42.319
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:04:42.559 --> 01:04:49.839
Well, yeah, well, light in terms of the fact that I think Marcel Reed's maybe I think Marcel Reed's probably a better throwing quarterback, which doesn't necessarily say a lot.
01:04:50.000 --> 01:04:51.039
Yes, he is better.
01:04:51.119 --> 01:04:51.439
Yes.
01:04:51.519 --> 01:04:57.519
Like here, here's Lenora Sellers is DJ Lagway, uh slightly better, is how I how I compare Lenora Sellers.
01:04:57.599 --> 01:04:58.000
I agree.
01:04:58.079 --> 01:05:01.519
Um, so you make him throw the football, we win that game.
01:05:01.599 --> 01:05:12.239
But unfortunately, Beamer has kept his job because he's been able to just punk stoops for years and years of you know, since we should win that game on the road, I think walking through that tunnel this year.
01:05:12.480 --> 01:05:12.960
Exactly.
01:05:13.119 --> 01:05:20.079
Like the the game cocks will have the run advantage that that is actually, if you haven't been, like that is a very good environment.
01:05:20.239 --> 01:05:24.559
Um, South Carolina, like that's a tough place to play, but we have the better team.
01:05:24.719 --> 01:05:27.919
If we feel ourselves too much, we could lose a game that we shouldn't.
01:05:28.000 --> 01:05:32.000
I want to see us one game, one game, one play at a time.
01:05:32.159 --> 01:05:32.480
One play.
01:05:32.719 --> 01:05:33.519
Yeah, no, you're 100%.
01:05:34.000 --> 01:05:35.039
The the message is correct.
01:05:35.119 --> 01:05:35.919
We are the storm.
01:05:36.000 --> 01:05:37.039
Let's go F them up.
01:05:37.279 --> 01:05:39.199
The message is correct, but the players got to believe it.
01:05:39.279 --> 01:05:41.759
If they start getting too big for their bridges, it can be a problem.
01:05:42.639 --> 01:05:50.480
If they if they stack chips every single game of like we're getting disrespected, I think it's better for us if we're not a top 25 team going to that game.
01:05:50.559 --> 01:05:53.199
So, like 27 right now by AP.
01:05:53.599 --> 01:05:55.359
Going into South Carolina or LSU.
01:05:55.439 --> 01:05:55.759
Sorry.
01:05:55.919 --> 01:05:56.719
South Carolina.
01:05:56.960 --> 01:05:57.519
I agree with you.
01:05:57.599 --> 01:05:58.399
I actually agree with that.
01:05:58.480 --> 01:05:59.679
I'd almost rather not be ranked.
01:05:59.759 --> 01:06:07.199
I'd rather almost not be ranked going into that game because then if you beat South Carolina on the road, you're coming into that LSU game probably somewhere between 17 to 14.
01:06:07.359 --> 01:06:11.679
You beat if you go on the road and beat them, you're getting in, you're getting you'll bypass the 20s.
01:06:11.759 --> 01:06:14.159
You'll bypass the 20s, you'll be in the teens when that happens.
01:06:14.239 --> 01:06:17.119
And now you're playing probably 12 out LSU.
01:06:17.519 --> 01:06:23.679
But does this game coming up get uh not whenever I ask them, whatever I use this term, obviously I would use it loosely.
01:06:23.759 --> 01:06:33.199
But does this South Alabama game kind of scare you in a way to where towards toward to where towards where they lose you know that kind of you know motivation to want to keep?
01:06:33.519 --> 01:06:33.919
I don't know.
01:06:34.079 --> 01:06:35.759
Game game games like this have to be.
01:06:40.079 --> 01:06:41.119
On to the next victim.
01:06:41.279 --> 01:06:41.439
Yeah.
01:06:41.519 --> 01:06:42.159
On to the next victim.
01:06:42.559 --> 01:06:46.159
We could run the ball 80 times against South Alabama and win by 20.
01:06:46.399 --> 01:06:46.639
All right.
01:06:46.719 --> 01:06:49.119
You guys humor me as a the moderator of the show.
01:06:49.199 --> 01:06:51.599
I do have talking points and I like to stay on point.
01:06:51.759 --> 01:06:53.679
And I think I've got good talking points.
01:06:53.759 --> 01:06:59.439
Let's talk about Jay Bateman uh going back to College Station against guys and coaches he knows.
01:06:59.599 --> 01:07:00.960
How much of Saturday?
01:07:01.119 --> 01:07:02.559
Let's go quick with these.
01:07:02.719 --> 01:07:04.079
Uh Paul, I'll start with you.
01:07:04.159 --> 01:07:12.639
How much of Saturday was Bateman knowing exactly what he uh wanted to attack, uh, how he wanted to attack uh Anna Low Freeze?
01:07:12.879 --> 01:07:15.839
Uh I mean, you know, uh Jordan Jordan Castell.
01:07:16.000 --> 01:07:19.839
Jordan Castell talked about that um in the postgame, said it helped a lot.
01:07:19.919 --> 01:07:22.239
They knew some tendencies, they knew what they wanted to do.
01:07:22.399 --> 01:07:23.359
So I think it helped.
01:07:23.439 --> 01:07:31.919
Um, familiarity, I think, helps the defensive side a little bit more than the offensive side because uh at least in this case, um, our team was a little bit different.
01:07:32.000 --> 01:07:38.639
We had some new guys, they're you know, you know, a lot of the core, you know, the quarterback's the same, so that you know kind of what to do there.
01:07:38.719 --> 01:07:41.359
Uh so I think it definitely made made a big impact for us.
01:07:41.439 --> 01:07:45.599
And and obviously, you know, Castell said that uh that he thought it may, and so did Sam Green.
01:07:45.679 --> 01:07:50.639
Sam Green would say the same thing that it definitely helped them uh going into the game, knowing understanding some of the tendencies.
01:07:50.799 --> 01:07:56.559
Davo, three fourth down stops, three, three in fourth down stop, two interception.
01:07:56.639 --> 01:08:01.439
Daveo, is Bateman becoming one of the early stories of the Will Stein era?
01:08:01.599 --> 01:08:02.319
It's still early.
01:08:02.480 --> 01:08:02.960
Um, yeah.
01:08:03.359 --> 01:08:07.919
What said one of the early it's still it's still God, what the hell, bro?
01:08:08.159 --> 01:08:09.679
Y'all want to play at least one dog?
01:08:09.759 --> 01:08:10.639
Just take just take more.
01:08:10.960 --> 01:08:12.319
Um, and I know that your dog.
01:08:12.399 --> 01:08:14.000
I thought you I thought you yelled at your spouse.
01:08:14.079 --> 01:08:15.359
I was like, golly, Dave Bo.
01:08:16.239 --> 01:08:17.039
No, no, no.
01:08:17.119 --> 01:08:19.039
My spouse is not barking me.
01:08:19.279 --> 01:08:22.800
Daveo, are you on you're on your phone, right?
01:08:22.960 --> 01:08:23.600
Yes, I am.
01:08:24.880 --> 01:08:27.119
Turn it sideways so we get like the full.
01:08:27.359 --> 01:08:28.239
There you go.
01:08:28.640 --> 01:08:29.439
I really liked it.
01:08:29.520 --> 01:08:33.039
I like the low angle seat belt shot on your way to that.
01:08:34.079 --> 01:08:34.640
Appreciate that.
01:08:34.720 --> 01:08:35.439
I appreciate that.
01:08:35.600 --> 01:08:39.199
I was proving to everybody that keeping your dome light on will not get you pulled over.
01:08:39.359 --> 01:08:39.600
We did.
01:08:39.840 --> 01:08:40.159
We got that.
01:08:40.319 --> 01:08:44.399
I was I was actually looking for him because I was gonna turn it off real quick when I had one.
01:08:44.480 --> 01:08:46.239
But, anyways, that's neither here nor there.
01:08:46.399 --> 01:08:52.079
Um, I'm not so worried about people talking about Jay Bateman in this game.
01:08:52.239 --> 01:09:04.079
Um, yes, there may have been some tendencies, I guess, so to speak, about what maybe they are gonna do, but let's not act like AM did not come into this game knowing that they had to switch some shit around, right?
01:09:04.159 --> 01:09:06.079
They switched some signals around and everything.
01:09:07.679 --> 01:09:08.399
Adjust your phone.
01:09:11.279 --> 01:09:13.679
Only got a little pumpkin here holding it up, okay.
01:09:13.760 --> 01:09:14.239
I'm sorry.
01:09:14.399 --> 01:09:17.039
All right, so I'm trying to be serious here, damn it.
01:09:17.199 --> 01:09:19.679
So listen, AM changed some shit around.
01:09:19.760 --> 01:09:28.559
Like they did not just show, like, they didn't just let Bateman be like, oh, okay, well, they're gonna uh throw it out here to the flash, or you know, this is gonna be a post-round.
01:09:29.039 --> 01:09:33.760
No, okay, he still had to get these guys to execute these plays, all right.
01:09:33.920 --> 01:09:37.039
And Jay Bateman was not out there stopping them all fourth and inches.
01:09:37.199 --> 01:09:39.119
Jay Batman was not out there intercepting passes.
01:09:39.199 --> 01:09:43.119
Okay, Jay Bateman was not out there rushing the quarterback and making him throw his two passes.
01:09:43.279 --> 01:09:44.800
All right, so credit to him.
01:09:44.880 --> 01:09:46.639
He had a hell of a game plan call.
01:09:46.960 --> 01:09:49.039
And yeah, I mean, give him his flowers.
01:09:49.279 --> 01:09:50.639
Uh Kyle Rando.
01:09:51.039 --> 01:09:52.399
Um, uh shit.
01:09:52.479 --> 01:09:54.720
Paul alluded to Jordan Castell earlier.
01:09:54.880 --> 01:10:06.800
When AM uh was trying to make that late push, Castell basically said to me, Nope, how important has that veteran presence been uh in the secondary become, secondary become?
01:10:06.960 --> 01:10:16.720
Yeah, I mean, so when we when we were talking about like offensive defensive MVPs, I just I blanketed and said, hey, Bateman is the D is the who I'm gonna be pick as the defensive MVP.
01:10:16.800 --> 01:10:30.239
Um not only did he know Marcel Reed, uh, but like I I couldn't think about the one thing was it gonna be the D-line, the linebacker secondary, the safety, like who was gonna be the thing to to like really keep Marcel Reed in the box.
01:10:30.399 --> 01:10:39.039
Um, so I was like, it's gonna be Bateman to to figure this out and understand how to make it too complex for Marcel Reed to overcome.
01:10:39.279 --> 01:10:51.039
And when they talked about it and they said like he was able to figure out a way, and I don't know what the signals were, obviously, they're not gonna tell us, but his defense is his defense, his his signals, all these things are the things that you're gonna carry over.
01:10:51.199 --> 01:10:56.159
Coaches don't want to change this stuff, and you can't really change it too much game to game because like it's gonna confuse the players.
01:10:56.319 --> 01:11:07.119
But he was able to change it up enough to where AM didn't know what he was doing, but our defense knew exactly what he wanted, and that was able to affect them in multiple layers.
01:11:07.279 --> 01:11:21.199
And then he I'm sure he also knew from watching him, like, hey, if I continue to put the ball in Marcel Reed's hands, the first the first half was bend, don't break, and then we got the ball in the second half, and we went down and scored, and we stopped him on a three and out, and we scored again.
01:11:21.359 --> 01:11:27.920
We're up two touchdowns, and now he's like, Hey, let's go F this dude up, like let's go heat them up over and over and over again and make him feel the pressure.
01:11:28.079 --> 01:11:36.880
And you saw one throw turn into two bad throws, three bad throws, and it was Marcel Reed with his hands in his helmet, like I like he couldn't do it, right?
01:11:36.960 --> 01:11:39.840
So, like I 100% think Bateman was now.
01:11:39.920 --> 01:11:42.159
Can he figure it out for multiple teams?
01:11:42.319 --> 01:11:42.800
We'll see.
01:11:42.960 --> 01:11:48.960
But for this game, I'm like the reason we won this thing is because he was able to stop Marcel Reed in that Texas AM offense.
01:11:49.119 --> 01:11:50.159
Exactly, exactly.
01:11:50.319 --> 01:11:56.399
Um he showed that against Alabama, that he can't figure it out, that we that they just got tired.
01:11:56.559 --> 01:12:00.559
I know, I know it's dumb, I know that's a silly excuse, but they did they did get one.
01:12:00.960 --> 01:12:05.439
Did they get tired, or did we just did they get tired, or did we just let the game get away?
01:12:05.599 --> 01:12:08.720
I don't know how much of a bad is tired of combo is I think a combo.
01:12:08.960 --> 01:12:12.479
I think you can't because they're the defense is on the field quite a bit.
01:12:12.720 --> 01:12:14.399
I mean, you continue fatigue was close.
01:12:14.559 --> 01:12:18.159
Fatigue was time possession was close, but it was it was so skewed in the second half.
01:12:18.239 --> 01:12:25.119
You go back and watch the I I think I think it was directly, I think it was directly after the fake punt that failed.
01:12:25.279 --> 01:12:26.399
We read the play.
01:12:26.479 --> 01:12:30.479
Yeah, it was it was turnaround, hand the ball off to running back.
01:12:30.639 --> 01:12:35.599
Running back got hit two yards behind the line of scrimmage, tired, missed tackle, and then no one else around him.
01:12:35.679 --> 01:12:38.319
He goes and runs it for 35 yards for a touchdown, right?
01:12:38.479 --> 01:12:44.079
That tells me it's not the defense not knowing what's going that's gonna happen, it's the defense tired, can't make tackles.
01:12:44.159 --> 01:12:51.359
So, you know, like the first thing that's going that's going to diminish when you're tired is the ability to wrap up fundamental tackle, bring somebody down to the ground.
01:12:51.439 --> 01:12:52.960
Uh that it's easier to shed.
01:12:53.119 --> 01:12:59.439
My personal opinion that was it was being tired, and it was the fact of putting the defense in a terrible situation in the second half.
01:12:59.679 --> 01:13:00.319
All game of the game.
01:13:00.479 --> 01:13:01.119
All game, man.
01:13:01.279 --> 01:13:02.239
Randall, all game.
01:13:02.319 --> 01:13:08.159
I mean, they the the I mean they had two scoring plays over over 60 yards, and one was late in the fourth.
01:13:08.319 --> 01:13:10.559
All right, let me uh I touched on this at the opening.
01:13:11.279 --> 01:13:12.399
I have to throw this internet.
01:13:12.639 --> 01:13:12.880
Sorry.
01:13:13.039 --> 01:13:19.359
Opening monologue, uh, Davo, three games into his career, his first SEC road game.
01:13:19.599 --> 01:13:23.840
Coach Stein owns a top 10 SEC road victory.
01:13:23.920 --> 01:13:27.519
Mark Stoops had one in those uh what, 12, 13, how many?
01:13:27.760 --> 01:13:29.199
It took him 104 games to get one.
01:13:29.599 --> 01:13:36.319
Yeah, I'm not asking anyone to start building statues after three games, but what did Saturday tell you?
01:13:36.479 --> 01:13:40.000
Seriously, Dave, about Will Stein or Coke, three games in.
01:13:40.720 --> 01:13:45.840
First of all, I don't want to take away you know that win in Oxford, but that was kind of a fluky win.
01:13:45.920 --> 01:13:48.960
Um I mean, it's called a spade a spade.
01:13:49.039 --> 01:13:53.039
It took a incredibly lucky catch by Barry on Brown.
01:14:00.239 --> 01:14:02.880
You can't take that away from them, but it it is what it is.
01:14:02.960 --> 01:14:04.399
This was a lot more impressive win.
01:14:04.559 --> 01:14:04.800
Okay.
01:14:05.279 --> 01:14:10.960
Um as I said before, I mean, the media is saying that this is gonna be Will Found's worst team.
01:14:11.119 --> 01:14:19.359
And if he just went down there with his worst team, quote unquote, and got uh and got a top 10 road win in one of the most top 10 hardest places to play in the country.
01:14:19.439 --> 01:14:21.199
Um I think the future's pretty bright.
01:14:21.359 --> 01:14:29.840
Um I'm I'm I'm not gonna say we're gonna make an Indiana type run in year one or year two, but I am saying by year three, uh, watch the hell out.
01:14:30.079 --> 01:14:34.960
And that's and and that's and yeah, that's me, you know, obviously being super biased as a fan.
01:14:35.039 --> 01:14:41.920
Um, that's also me seeing what I saw uh in 42 minutes versus Alabama and 60 minutes versus Texas AM.
01:14:42.319 --> 01:14:45.279
Arguably our two hardest games on a schedule, arguably.
01:14:45.439 --> 01:14:50.079
And so the rest of it, you're looking at it like I don't see any way that we can be these teams now.
01:14:50.239 --> 01:14:53.359
Um I'm I'm I'm trying trying to keep a cool head.
01:14:53.439 --> 01:14:55.359
Um, but man, it's it's exciting.
01:14:55.599 --> 01:14:57.359
One game at a time, Paul.
01:14:57.439 --> 01:15:04.880
Uh was Saturday to you like the real how's this the real proof of concept with uh Ko Stein in this offense?
01:15:05.039 --> 01:15:05.840
Am I saying that right?
01:15:05.920 --> 01:15:06.720
I think I'm saying it right.
01:15:06.880 --> 01:15:07.679
Proof of concept, yeah.
01:15:07.840 --> 01:15:16.639
I I think it was just like the I think it was more so the um the manifestation of what he's been saying than than than that.
01:15:16.720 --> 01:15:18.239
You know, he's very confident.
01:15:18.399 --> 01:15:27.840
I think a lot of players, a lot of fans, I think took what he was saying and the hype and the you know, the the standing on the chair and all the best players want to come play for Will Stein.
01:15:27.920 --> 01:15:31.760
And you know, I came here to win now, not three years from now, not five years from now.
01:15:31.920 --> 01:15:37.119
I think after Alabama, I think some fans took it as like Coach Beakey's trying to like get the program like noticed and everything.
01:15:37.199 --> 01:15:41.119
And I think this was like one of those like, wait a minute, this um bitch might actually meet now.
01:15:41.279 --> 01:15:47.599
Um, and so you know, I I listen, this we're we're all riding fucking high right now.
01:15:48.079 --> 01:15:53.920
But but but like even last week, a lot of people and even on here, a lot of people were down on stuff.
01:15:54.000 --> 01:15:56.479
And I was like, listen, like I was not, right?
01:15:56.559 --> 01:15:58.960
I'm like, nothing that happens is just gonna make me down on it.
01:15:59.039 --> 01:16:04.239
Yes, did last week did that Alabama game feel like normal Kentucky because we were at close and they're thinking, yeah.
01:16:04.319 --> 01:16:06.559
But there was also things that didn't happen in that game.
01:16:06.639 --> 01:16:10.639
Now, how it ended, it felt normal, but the first 42 minutes didn't feel normal.
01:16:10.800 --> 01:16:11.039
Fair.
01:16:11.199 --> 01:16:16.079
When you couple that now with what he did at AM, the schedule now I think opens up a lot more.
01:16:16.159 --> 01:16:25.199
You've got three weeks under the belt, you've seen teams look, you see, like some of these teams don't look like they they they are that they're they're as as juggernaughty as maybe we thought they are.
01:16:25.359 --> 01:16:27.760
You know, a game like Oklahoma looks a lot more winnable.
01:16:27.840 --> 01:16:31.599
Florida looks like they can score a lot of points, but they're gonna give up a shit ton of points, right?
01:16:32.079 --> 01:16:33.599
Missouri does not look that good.
01:16:33.760 --> 01:16:35.599
They don't look like a top 25 team to me.
01:16:35.679 --> 01:16:37.519
Like they haven't looked like a top 25 team all year.
01:16:37.679 --> 01:16:42.239
Louisville Louisville's not gonna know what getting punched in the mouth feels like for the next nine weeks.
01:16:42.319 --> 01:16:42.960
So, you know what?
01:16:43.119 --> 01:16:45.279
Line up and let's see what happens when you come here and play.
01:16:45.439 --> 01:16:50.720
And this team, my thing is if this team keeps getting better, which they imp they have improved now, right?
01:16:50.800 --> 01:16:52.639
You have seen something in an improvement.
01:16:52.800 --> 01:16:57.039
The next three weeks will tell you where this season's gonna go, in my opinion.
01:16:57.199 --> 01:16:58.000
Absolutely, absolutely.
01:16:58.319 --> 01:17:04.720
If they go well, to the next two weeks and then week three is the is the game that makes you go, oh my god.
01:17:04.800 --> 01:17:08.559
If Kentucky wins the next two games and goes into LSU four and one, they're gonna be ranked.
01:17:08.639 --> 01:17:10.559
It's gonna be the whole time, by the way.
01:17:10.800 --> 01:17:16.559
At home, at home, yes, and now you're having conversations about if they win this game X.
01:17:17.119 --> 01:17:20.720
We're in the we're a solid top 20 team at this point.
01:17:20.960 --> 01:17:21.840
Maybe closer to 15.
01:17:22.239 --> 01:17:26.479
If they win the next three games, if they win the next three games, you're talking about playoffs.
01:17:26.559 --> 01:17:30.960
We're not talking about a solid season, we're talking about a playoff run if you win the next three games.
01:17:31.199 --> 01:17:31.599
All right.
01:17:31.760 --> 01:17:32.960
Well, that's uh yeah.
01:17:33.199 --> 01:17:33.840
We'll we'll get there.
01:17:34.079 --> 01:17:35.119
Random didn't blink either.
01:17:35.199 --> 01:17:36.559
Ray Randall's on this bullshit, too.
01:17:36.800 --> 01:17:37.039
I love it.
01:17:37.119 --> 01:17:37.519
No, I love it.
01:17:37.599 --> 01:17:38.000
So I'm sorry.
01:17:38.960 --> 01:17:43.279
If if we if yeah, if you beat LSU, because at that point LSU's we'll we'll see.
01:17:43.359 --> 01:17:45.439
What LSU's had to has to play AM.
01:17:45.599 --> 01:17:47.359
I think we'll find out a lot about him six.
01:17:47.519 --> 01:17:54.399
So we would likely at that point we beat LSU, we take care of business preceding LSU five and one.
01:17:54.720 --> 01:17:56.559
That's that's asking a lot.
01:17:56.800 --> 01:17:57.119
It is.
01:17:57.359 --> 01:18:00.000
Um, but uh like let's let's play the game.
01:18:00.159 --> 01:18:08.000
So if you you know, say LSU beats AM and we we go into that game, like I said, both with only one loss on the record.
01:18:08.079 --> 01:18:09.119
They're coming to our place.
01:18:09.199 --> 01:18:12.479
I believe that'll be an 8:30 kick, eight eight thirty uh kickoff.
01:18:12.559 --> 01:18:13.599
It'll be a night game.
01:18:13.760 --> 01:18:14.800
It won't be eight thirty.
01:18:14.880 --> 01:18:18.159
I think I think it'll be like it's between six and seven, seven thirty.
01:18:18.399 --> 01:18:20.720
Okay, so but but it yeah, it'll so it it'll be a night game.
01:18:20.800 --> 01:18:21.279
It's a night game.
01:18:21.359 --> 01:18:21.840
It's a night game.
01:18:21.920 --> 01:18:22.079
Yes.
01:18:22.239 --> 01:18:22.720
In Kroger.
01:18:22.880 --> 01:18:23.679
Like that's okay.
01:18:24.000 --> 01:18:27.760
You you would I don't know, uh, I don't know when it is on the October 17th.
01:18:27.840 --> 01:18:34.000
I know is like there's a bunch of massive games, but uh so whenever that's you might be breaking out something interesting that game.
01:18:34.159 --> 01:18:35.840
If yeah uh LSU?
01:18:36.000 --> 01:18:42.319
Yeah, October 10th, maybe you might it may yeah may if the rumors are true, you might see a new uniform on October 10th.
01:18:42.479 --> 01:18:44.000
Yeah, power uh power K stuff.
01:18:44.079 --> 01:18:45.760
Oh um okay.
01:18:45.920 --> 01:18:49.679
Yeah, uh yeah, I think uh yeah, uh Power K.
01:18:49.840 --> 01:18:53.439
I was expecting LSU or Florida, so that would that would that would match.
01:18:54.079 --> 01:18:55.920
Well Florida's a blackout, so it wouldn't be Florida.
01:18:56.000 --> 01:18:56.960
Florida's the blackout game.
01:18:57.039 --> 01:18:57.519
All right, yeah.
01:18:57.679 --> 01:18:58.239
Let's keep it going.
01:18:59.039 --> 01:19:01.279
I guess what I'm what I'm saying is that that could be a massive game.
01:19:01.359 --> 01:19:03.359
And if you win it, um you wouldn't.
01:19:03.519 --> 01:19:09.519
Even if you lose a close game to LSU and you win the next week against Oklahoma, you're back going into that conversation.
01:19:09.679 --> 01:19:11.439
So this is a very interesting.
01:19:11.599 --> 01:19:15.920
Like, I I don't think that there is a team on the schedule that they can't beat.
01:19:16.000 --> 01:19:16.399
I just don't.
01:19:16.479 --> 01:19:20.720
I think that the I think Tennessee's the one that I would chalk up.
01:19:20.800 --> 01:19:21.679
I would I would argue that.
01:19:21.840 --> 01:19:23.279
You're gonna learn a lot about Tennessee this week.
01:19:23.359 --> 01:19:24.239
You'll learn about them this week.
01:19:24.399 --> 01:19:25.039
They ain't played anyway.
01:19:25.359 --> 01:19:31.439
Well, but uh yes, but you wouldn't have when when are we gonna kneel and and and beating a uh like that was then?
01:19:32.239 --> 01:19:32.639
That was then.
01:19:36.079 --> 01:19:40.880
I think we just gotta take the stereotypes of of Kentucky football away because I don't think Will Stein gives a shit.
01:19:41.279 --> 01:19:41.439
Right?
01:19:41.519 --> 01:19:44.880
Like, when's the last time you've seen a coach go into a game in a hostile environment?
01:19:45.039 --> 01:19:56.399
I'm not trying to like say fuck off Randall on this at all, but I'm just saying, like, I I think overall as a collective, and you see this on social media too, Randall, we fall into like the sometimes we fall into like this is Kentucky football.
01:19:56.479 --> 01:20:04.239
And I think it's now you got to start thinking about it as like this is now a program that's try is going to be built by an elite coach that has seen it and done it before.
01:20:04.399 --> 01:20:07.840
And I think we have to take all the stereotypes out until they come back in again.
01:20:08.000 --> 01:20:08.479
Oh, for sure.
01:20:08.559 --> 01:20:23.039
And and and you know, I got if you go back and look at the tweet that I made about the the six years prior to Will Stein, what the halftime score was against Alabama to what it was, and everybody's like, oh, take victory lapse about a halftime score, you gotta play six minutes.
01:20:23.119 --> 01:20:24.239
Yeah, I I understand.
01:20:24.319 --> 01:20:26.720
Like, I'm I I know it's a full game, so whatever.
01:20:26.880 --> 01:20:34.159
But my point was like we had not ever been in a game at halftime, let alone saying, like, holy shit, we might win this thing.
01:20:34.239 --> 01:20:43.679
Like, we we truly believed, we being the fans, if you were there in in Lexington for that game at halftime, like you believed that we were gonna win that game.
01:20:43.760 --> 01:20:46.319
It it hunter, it it unfortunately like it fell apart.
01:20:46.399 --> 01:20:49.439
We know how it, we know how it went, but we hadn't been in that spot before.
01:20:49.519 --> 01:20:54.000
And I would have been happy coming on this show saying, Hey, we held close to Texas AM.
01:20:54.159 --> 01:20:57.519
Like we were we were a 17-point dog, we kept it within seven.
01:20:57.599 --> 01:20:59.199
Like, Stein is the real deal.
01:20:59.359 --> 01:21:04.000
We won the damn game, and it wasn't particularly close for three quarters, right?
01:21:04.159 --> 01:21:06.159
So, like, I 100% agree with you.
01:21:06.239 --> 01:21:15.279
I'm just saying, like, if if there's one a game on the schedule, we talk about run game, Faison Brandon is a is a true freshman, I understand, or a redshirt freshman, I think, whatever he is.
01:21:15.359 --> 01:21:16.800
Um, but like use a true run.
01:21:17.519 --> 01:21:20.000
Their run game is absolutely ridiculous.
01:21:20.079 --> 01:21:22.880
Um, and let's see what happens against Texas this week.
01:21:22.960 --> 01:21:25.039
Like, they haven't really played like a real team either yet.
01:21:25.119 --> 01:21:28.559
I mean, I know they played Georgia Tech, but Georgia Tech doesn't look good this year at all.
01:21:28.720 --> 01:21:30.559
They don't look like they're Georgia Tech from last year.
01:21:30.800 --> 01:21:35.359
Yeah, Haynes King carried Georgia Tech, so I don't I don't I've said they were gonna drop off as well.
01:21:35.439 --> 01:21:39.679
But if I had to pick one, that'd be the one that really, really uh scares me.
01:21:39.760 --> 01:21:42.800
But yeah, I I feel better about LSU from what I've seen.
01:21:42.880 --> 01:21:45.279
I feel really good about Oklahoma from what I've seen.
01:21:45.439 --> 01:21:46.319
Um, and and we go.
01:21:46.720 --> 01:21:48.319
Don't feel bad about Florida, Missouri.
01:21:48.559 --> 01:21:48.960
Well, let's go.
01:21:49.039 --> 01:21:50.880
No, I don't feel like there's anything else.
01:21:51.119 --> 01:21:54.000
Let's uh Dave O is uh rounding third and heading for home.
01:21:54.399 --> 01:21:56.159
Yeah, I'm with you the sign.
01:21:56.319 --> 01:21:59.519
Let's let's real quick um Dave, I'll get your take.
01:21:59.599 --> 01:22:02.559
Uh looking ahead, South Alabama this coming Saturday.
01:22:02.720 --> 01:22:03.920
What do you think and feeling?
01:22:04.159 --> 01:22:09.920
Do what you gotta do, beat the shit out of them, don't show too much, and move on to Columbia, South Carolina.
01:22:10.159 --> 01:22:14.159
We need that game to be over at halftime so we can rest our.
01:22:14.720 --> 01:22:17.119
I think you'll see a couple guys probably not play against them.
01:22:17.279 --> 01:22:18.079
Or even already.
01:22:18.399 --> 01:22:18.800
Maybe not.
01:22:18.960 --> 01:22:19.119
Okay.
01:22:19.279 --> 01:22:22.159
I would not be surprised if you see Boyer and Bryant not play.
01:22:22.319 --> 01:22:22.479
All right.
01:22:22.559 --> 01:22:24.720
Well, he Boyer did get dinged up a little bit.
01:22:25.039 --> 01:22:25.840
They both came back in.
01:22:25.920 --> 01:22:26.880
They both came back and played.
01:22:27.199 --> 01:22:28.559
Well, they did, but yeah.
01:22:28.639 --> 01:22:30.880
Uh I would not be shocked if they don't play.
01:22:31.119 --> 01:22:34.720
Boyer has been the MVP so far this year, and I don't really care what anybody says.
01:22:34.880 --> 01:22:36.239
Well, I I don't disagree with you.
01:22:36.479 --> 01:22:36.880
What is he doing?
01:22:37.039 --> 01:22:38.880
He's been the most productive tight end for sure.
01:22:39.199 --> 01:22:41.760
He's not been the best tight end, but he's been the most productive.
01:22:42.000 --> 01:22:43.599
Uh we'll talk more.
01:22:43.679 --> 01:22:48.720
Uh so real quick, kind of uh piggybacking off uh round of shots Sunday night.
01:22:48.800 --> 01:22:52.559
Paul and I do uh bleed, blue, primetime, Wednesday night.
01:22:52.720 --> 01:22:56.639
Like tonight we'll talk, we'll recap the the latest game.
01:22:56.720 --> 01:23:01.119
Uh, but Wednesday night when we do our show, we'll look ahead to the next game.
01:23:01.199 --> 01:23:04.399
So and we'll be done before Randall's show start.
01:23:04.479 --> 01:23:05.679
Because we love we love everyone.
01:23:05.840 --> 01:23:07.679
We we got friends, we want to take care of each other.
01:23:08.000 --> 01:23:08.880
All right, where are we at?
01:23:09.199 --> 01:23:11.760
Uh uh Dave O, how you feel?
01:23:12.079 --> 01:23:12.960
You got a few minutes?
01:23:13.119 --> 01:23:13.840
You gotta go.
01:23:13.920 --> 01:23:14.079
What?
01:23:14.399 --> 01:23:14.880
Yeah, yeah.
01:23:14.960 --> 01:23:15.920
I mean, I'm I'm cool.
01:23:16.079 --> 01:23:19.599
I was just gonna do my final shot and go and go hit the scratch.
01:23:19.760 --> 01:23:21.519
I wanna I I gotta touch real quick.
01:23:21.679 --> 01:23:22.960
We had some huge games.
01:23:23.119 --> 01:23:25.840
Daveo, what'd you think of the LSU O Miss game?
01:23:26.000 --> 01:23:28.479
Um, I mean, I was a closet O Miss fan.
01:23:28.800 --> 01:23:32.319
For that for that game, I think I think everybody I think we all were.
01:23:32.639 --> 01:23:34.720
I mean, I I I I I love it.
01:23:34.880 --> 01:23:41.599
Um, I love how he had to have like five times the police that score that he normally has just to walk onto the field.
01:23:41.840 --> 01:23:52.079
Um, I liked how none of the O Miss players got out of his way as he was walking off the field, as the police were literally shoving the players out of the way so they don't say anything out of line to him.
01:23:52.239 --> 01:23:53.679
Um, I thought it was awesome.
01:23:53.760 --> 01:24:01.599
Uh kudos to the Ole Miss fans for giving them hell uh from start to finish, and kudos sending his lame ass uh back to bat and rouge with a loss.
01:24:01.679 --> 01:24:04.720
So Paul, Ole Miss LSU, Ole Miss, man.
01:24:04.800 --> 01:24:05.840
They're they're legit.
01:24:06.000 --> 01:24:10.159
I I was I I was I I thought I thought I picked them to win, bet on them to win.
01:24:10.239 --> 01:24:11.439
So wasn't that shocked.
01:24:11.519 --> 01:24:14.479
Um they they they're just I think more of a polished product right now.
01:24:14.559 --> 01:24:18.079
Um, I think lane at LSU is kind of scary, but maybe not this year.
01:24:18.239 --> 01:24:18.960
Maybe not sure.
01:24:19.039 --> 01:24:22.239
Uh Randall, final thoughts on uh Ole Miss LSU?
01:24:22.399 --> 01:24:25.760
Yeah, um so I also wasn't surprised Ole Miss won.
01:24:25.840 --> 01:24:28.239
Um I did not pick them to win, but I picked him to cover.
01:24:28.319 --> 01:24:30.000
Um, so shout out for that.
01:24:30.159 --> 01:24:32.159
Um here's my here's my thing.
01:24:32.319 --> 01:24:39.359
The NFL has for a while been if you pay a good quarterback, great quarterback money, you're gonna struggle.
01:24:39.519 --> 01:24:46.399
And while the NCAA in college football doesn't have a salary cap, there's it's still not infinite amount of money for NIL.
01:24:46.559 --> 01:24:53.840
So when you pay Sam Levitt great quarterback money, what and he's not a great quarterback, you're going to struggle because other places are gonna fit now.
01:24:54.000 --> 01:24:56.159
LSU is going to be talented forever and ever.
01:24:56.319 --> 01:24:56.479
Amen.
01:24:56.639 --> 01:25:00.639
And Lane Kiff and LSU, like Paul said, is going to be dangerous in the future.
01:25:00.800 --> 01:25:05.840
But they put a lot of chips in the Sam in the Levit basket, and he's not as a runner, he's doing great.
01:25:05.920 --> 01:25:08.159
As a thrower of the football, he's not doing great.
01:25:08.239 --> 01:25:11.119
Uh, and shamless is a is a dude.
01:25:11.279 --> 01:25:14.079
Like that guy, that guy is what here.
01:25:14.319 --> 01:25:15.519
I'm gonna piss Paul off here.
01:25:15.599 --> 01:25:18.000
I don't it's not intentional, but I know I'm gonna piss him off.
01:25:18.239 --> 01:25:21.760
Shamless is what everybody wants Camward to be in the NFL.
01:25:21.840 --> 01:25:23.679
Shamless is gonna be a dude in the NFL.
01:25:24.000 --> 01:25:29.760
Camard ain't so like I think he is I don't know if Cam Ward has around stuff around him, though, either.
01:25:30.000 --> 01:25:32.960
Well, he well, he that's another conversation for now.
01:25:33.279 --> 01:25:34.079
That's another conversation.
01:25:34.399 --> 01:25:45.439
But I think I think I think Shamless is is an absolute dude, and uh like he made some boneheaded plays, which got LSU back in that game, but he's also the reason why they they win football games at a consistent level.
01:25:45.599 --> 01:25:50.079
He's the reason why uh old miss and Lane Kiffin won at a consistent level last year.
01:25:50.159 --> 01:26:02.399
So um, yeah, I'm glad and Lane Kiffin deserved everything he got, like all the silliness he did in the offseason uh leading up to the game, like he deserved losing that game and the fact that he wanted to like try to be humble in the post game.
01:26:02.559 --> 01:26:03.119
Shut up, dude.
01:26:03.199 --> 01:26:06.079
You suck, you know you suck, you've had bad morals forever and ever.
01:26:06.319 --> 01:26:08.239
So like just take it on the chin and move on.
01:26:08.399 --> 01:26:12.639
Is it time to talk about how Lane Kiffin might be one of the most overrated coaches, though, in college?
01:26:12.880 --> 01:26:15.439
Because the guy doesn't win the game.
01:26:15.679 --> 01:26:17.439
That dude does not win.
01:26:17.519 --> 01:26:20.399
He has a terrible record against the top 10.
01:26:20.559 --> 01:26:22.319
Terrible stated at Ole Miss.
01:26:22.639 --> 01:26:24.479
Has there ever been an LSU?
01:26:24.960 --> 01:26:28.720
Yeah, has there ever been a coach that keep falling forward?
01:26:29.039 --> 01:26:33.279
He's one and nine in AP top top ten games and five and seventeen all time.
01:26:33.519 --> 01:26:36.880
Um yeah, but it's just I mean, is that worth what he what he got?
01:26:37.039 --> 01:26:37.599
Yeah, okay.
01:26:38.079 --> 01:26:43.760
Until he gets to a playoff and wins something, he's always gonna be the the the hot name.
01:26:43.840 --> 01:26:48.000
Like I know he went to LSU because I think he thinks the resources there that can win more long.
01:26:48.239 --> 01:26:49.359
Like, and he might be right.
01:26:49.439 --> 01:26:52.880
I mean, look, Ole loses Shambliss, he's probably gonna end up being right.
01:26:53.039 --> 01:27:05.840
Oulmus will go back to being the team that wins every you know five or seven years, maybe gets in the playoffs, and LSU will be a perennial playoff contender, but he's gotta win one, he's got to, and he, or at least he's gotta, you know, like look at Ryan Day.
01:27:05.920 --> 01:27:13.920
Like, Ryan Day won a national championship, and the LSU Ohio State fans will don't even want him to coach there anymore because they think he can't win the big game.
01:27:14.000 --> 01:27:14.639
So it's interesting.
01:27:14.720 --> 01:27:16.079
It's gonna be interesting to see what happens.
01:27:16.239 --> 01:27:18.639
Lane Giffen and Dan Lanning are in the same boat.
01:27:18.720 --> 01:27:21.439
Lane Kiffin takes him because he's been doing it longer.
01:27:21.599 --> 01:27:22.239
Yeah, I agree.
01:27:22.399 --> 01:27:24.399
Let's uh let's keep this going real quick.
01:27:24.559 --> 01:27:30.639
Uh, while Ole Miss continues to win, uh, the local team here in Louisville, I have to give a shout-out.
01:27:30.880 --> 01:27:32.159
They actually benefit.
01:27:32.319 --> 01:27:39.119
You know, the the Louisville Cardinals, their only loss was to Ole Miss by three on a neutral uh uh neutral field.
01:27:39.279 --> 01:27:44.960
As Ole Miss continues to climb, actually it strengthens uh uh Louisville's resume.
01:27:45.119 --> 01:27:49.840
And Louisville did have a nice win against a top 20 team SMU.
01:27:50.000 --> 01:27:50.960
We don't need to talk about it.
01:27:51.039 --> 01:27:54.720
We'll just I'm just giving a shout-out to my Louisville friends and fans.
01:27:54.880 --> 01:28:02.880
Uh uh, I'm telling you, right now though, um I told you last week when you said they'd be favored by double digits, so you're out of your fucking mind.
01:28:02.960 --> 01:28:05.199
And uh that was then, that was last week.
01:28:06.000 --> 01:28:06.399
Doesn't matter.
01:28:06.479 --> 01:28:08.479
That's the changing then.
01:28:12.720 --> 01:28:15.679
Me and Dave almost jumped through the screen and strangled you for that one.
01:28:15.760 --> 01:28:15.920
Really?
01:28:16.159 --> 01:28:19.279
Kevin said they're gonna be favored double digits against Kentucky in November.
01:28:19.439 --> 01:28:19.599
Yeah.
01:28:20.559 --> 01:28:21.119
No, no, no.
01:28:21.279 --> 01:28:21.920
Here's there.
01:28:22.079 --> 01:28:24.159
Let me there's here's the here's the color.
01:28:24.319 --> 01:28:27.599
I've introduced starting last week, it's called the Hale Scale.
01:28:27.760 --> 01:28:30.079
So I look at really two things.
01:28:30.319 --> 01:28:38.960
As of that last Sunday when we did our show, after the performance against Alabama, more importantly, that second half debacle, I said.
01:28:39.439 --> 01:28:44.880
Okay, real it now, as of last Saturday, Sunday, how many games will this team win?
01:28:45.039 --> 01:28:46.319
I said, after Bama.
01:28:46.559 --> 01:28:48.720
I said, uh, I'm I'm at four a week.
01:28:48.800 --> 01:28:54.800
And I think if we played Louisville last Sunday, we were potentially two-score underdogs.
01:28:54.880 --> 01:28:56.239
Okay, that was then today.
01:28:56.559 --> 01:28:58.479
I guess I guess I guess that maybe the book.
01:28:58.559 --> 01:29:01.359
No, no, I think no, I'll give you I I think you're probably right.
01:29:01.519 --> 01:29:06.880
The books may may have given us a uh 10 and a half, 13 and a half difference.
01:29:06.960 --> 01:29:10.960
But if we played last week, if we if we played Louisville last week, we would have won the game.
01:29:11.599 --> 01:29:12.000
Last week?
01:29:12.079 --> 01:29:12.559
At Louisville.
01:29:12.720 --> 01:29:12.880
100%.
01:29:15.920 --> 01:29:16.559
I think that's a good thing.
01:29:18.000 --> 01:29:22.079
Kevin, I think you are blind as a bat as to how uh as to that.
01:29:22.399 --> 01:29:23.199
Well, I do have readers.
01:29:24.319 --> 01:29:30.960
You took that Alabama game in a way that that like half of the internet took it, and it just was such a fucking wrong narrative.
01:29:31.119 --> 01:29:31.439
So bad.
01:29:31.840 --> 01:29:39.279
Lady Keenholes is the ground kids in the backfield are a dude, or like they like their offense is is very good.
01:29:39.359 --> 01:29:45.519
Like Lane Keeneholes, if you took him as a long shot to win the Heisman, you're sitting there going, I might catch a massive bet.
01:29:45.679 --> 01:29:48.559
Here's the problem: their defense sucked.
01:29:48.960 --> 01:29:50.639
That's perfect.
01:29:51.920 --> 01:29:54.319
So we don't even have to, we don't have to throw the ball once.
01:29:54.479 --> 01:29:58.880
We give the ball to Patterson and CJ over and over and over again.
01:29:59.039 --> 01:30:01.519
We're rushing for 400 yards right down their throats.
01:30:01.760 --> 01:30:03.439
Ole Miss also did suck slept.
01:30:03.599 --> 01:30:05.920
Old miss also sleptwalked through that whole first half.
01:30:06.000 --> 01:30:08.880
And then once Chambliss got rolling, they couldn't do a damn thing.
01:30:08.960 --> 01:30:12.079
And they've self-inflicted wounds in the first half on themselves.
01:30:12.159 --> 01:30:15.679
Like Ole Miss tried to say, here, Louisville, go up 17 on us.
01:30:15.840 --> 01:30:18.639
And like some other dude saying, Oh, like Louisville spotted him two touchdowns.
01:30:18.800 --> 01:30:20.159
Like, what fucking game did you watch?
01:30:20.399 --> 01:30:23.760
Like Ole Miss tried his hand Louisville a 17-point lead and they couldn't do it.
01:30:23.840 --> 01:30:26.479
But Louisville will be playing Miami for the AC championship game.
01:30:26.559 --> 01:30:27.599
Like, that's what's gonna happen now.
01:30:27.840 --> 01:30:31.760
And actually, Louisville has a very I mean correct guy.
01:30:32.079 --> 01:30:34.159
Their schedule is very schedule friendly.
01:30:34.399 --> 01:30:38.639
All right, so the hail overnight has uh feel good about that and make money off Louisville.
01:30:38.880 --> 01:30:43.039
I think right now, seven win season, very realistic, very realistic.
01:30:43.199 --> 01:30:43.840
That's what I picked.
01:30:44.000 --> 01:30:45.039
I picked seven and five.
01:30:45.199 --> 01:30:46.639
I would be phenomenal, I would be thrilled.
01:30:46.720 --> 01:30:48.000
I think we're at six and six, really.
01:30:48.239 --> 01:30:50.880
I picked seven and five as a home where I think six and six where we go.
01:30:51.039 --> 01:30:51.519
I'm with you.
01:30:51.679 --> 01:30:56.159
And in the lower game right now, uh it's winnable.
01:30:56.880 --> 01:30:59.920
It's not a two touchdown deficit or whatever.
01:31:00.159 --> 01:31:01.760
Every single game is winnable at this point.
01:31:01.920 --> 01:31:02.720
I agree, agree.
01:31:02.800 --> 01:31:04.639
All right, so Tennessee is the unknown.
01:31:04.800 --> 01:31:07.279
Tennessee is a little bit of an unknown because we haven't seen them yet.
01:31:07.439 --> 01:31:12.880
We've seen enough of everybody else on our schedule and who they've kind of played to kind of get a good set sense of who they are.
01:31:13.039 --> 01:31:14.720
Tennessee is the one that we haven't seen yet.
01:31:14.880 --> 01:31:15.760
You're gonna see that this week.
01:31:15.840 --> 01:31:19.119
If they beat Texas, then I'm like, that might suck.
01:31:19.359 --> 01:31:20.079
Florida too.
01:31:20.159 --> 01:31:21.760
I I would I would put Florida that bucket.
01:31:22.079 --> 01:31:25.599
By the time we get to them, uh um in was it late October?
01:31:25.679 --> 01:31:26.079
No, November.
01:31:26.239 --> 01:31:26.639
Late November.
01:31:27.359 --> 01:31:27.760
Late November.
01:31:27.920 --> 01:31:28.639
Yeah, November.
01:31:28.880 --> 01:31:30.239
Um, they'll have some more teams.
01:31:30.319 --> 01:31:31.840
Like maybe Auburn just sucks.
01:31:31.920 --> 01:31:33.039
Maybe Florida's just really good.
01:31:33.119 --> 01:31:35.840
Like, unfortunately, Jaden Baugh is just a dude.
01:31:35.920 --> 01:31:37.760
Like, you don't have to have a good quarterback.
01:31:38.000 --> 01:31:38.960
He is so good.
01:31:39.119 --> 01:31:40.000
He is so good.
01:31:40.079 --> 01:31:43.760
Uh so that's gonna be tough for us, but uh, that could be another big game.
01:31:43.840 --> 01:31:46.000
That's and John Summer will come back to town.
01:31:46.079 --> 01:31:47.519
He's obviously gonna get Will Stein motivated.
01:31:47.679 --> 01:31:48.159
Jump in, Dave.
01:31:48.559 --> 01:31:50.159
I'm sorry, you're gonna be fired up with Tennessee.
01:31:50.239 --> 01:31:51.359
You know how much I love them.
01:31:51.519 --> 01:31:53.279
We know what we're gonna get to Tennessee.
01:31:53.359 --> 01:31:56.800
They got that gimmicky ass offense, the same shit every year.
01:31:57.039 --> 01:32:04.880
They're gonna get a hold of a team that's gonna have a pretty damn good defense, like I believe we do, and a team that can score with them on their trash ass defense.
01:32:04.960 --> 01:32:10.639
So I am I'm not worried about Tennessee Stanford's highwall's been there, does not give a damn about defense.
01:32:10.720 --> 01:32:11.920
All right, they want to ask you.
01:32:12.079 --> 01:32:13.359
Well, you need to watch Tennessee play.
01:32:13.439 --> 01:32:16.159
I unfortunately have to because of the show dynamics that I have.
01:32:18.239 --> 01:32:20.239
Tennessee Debo I'm not is not ass.
01:32:20.559 --> 01:32:23.840
I'm not, I'm not high, I'm not completely high on Tennessee.
01:32:23.920 --> 01:32:25.199
I just think we don't know about them.
01:32:25.760 --> 01:32:31.519
And I was saying if they beat Texas this weekend, I'm a lot more like, damn, that's a lot harder game than I thought it would be.
01:32:31.599 --> 01:32:43.359
If Texas goes in there and kind of bullies them, then it's like, all right, Tennessee is not what we thought that they've beat up, like Tennessee under Hypool is really good at beating up and putting a lot of fucking points on teams that are marginal to decent.
01:32:43.519 --> 01:32:47.359
They have not been great at beating the teams that come in there and want to punk and play physical.
01:32:47.519 --> 01:32:48.720
Like they have not played good again.
01:32:48.960 --> 01:32:56.239
That's why they struggle against Georgia, they've struggled against Bama for the most part, outside of that one game where that was even a fluky game that they even had to win.
01:32:56.319 --> 01:33:00.399
And then they went down to Georgia and got absolutely shitstormed by by that Georgia team.
01:33:00.559 --> 01:33:03.359
So, like, I want to see what happens against Texas this weekend.
01:33:03.439 --> 01:33:06.479
Like, is this a different Tennessee team or is it the same old Hypo Santa team?
01:33:06.559 --> 01:33:11.760
It's the same old Hypo Tennessee team with how physical this Kentucky team plays, then I think it's just down to how healthy we are.
01:33:11.840 --> 01:33:14.399
If we're healthy going into that game, I still like our chances.
01:33:14.559 --> 01:33:16.639
And it's looking like that's how we're gonna play as physical.
01:33:16.880 --> 01:33:17.519
Smash mouth.
01:33:17.760 --> 01:33:18.800
That's how he wants to play.
01:33:18.960 --> 01:33:19.599
Yeah, yeah.
01:33:19.840 --> 01:33:20.880
All right, dudes.
01:33:21.119 --> 01:33:24.319
Uh we are let's shut this down.
01:33:24.399 --> 01:33:26.479
Um, yeah, final shots for everyone.
01:33:26.720 --> 01:33:30.880
Rando, you since you were the last one to jump in, you know how this works.
01:33:30.960 --> 01:33:32.960
Give me your final shot of the night, my brother.
01:33:33.119 --> 01:33:37.119
Yeah, so I I'll I'll stick to getting I guess the main message I wanted to get when I came on here.
01:33:37.199 --> 01:33:39.840
Y'all were talking about the third quarter and and Minchie.
01:33:39.920 --> 01:33:42.000
Uh, there was uh boy, man.
01:33:42.159 --> 01:33:46.319
You know, Paul said at best there was there was question marks, there was some doubt around Minchie.
01:33:46.399 --> 01:33:49.439
Um, you you watch him play, he's kind of flat footed.
01:33:49.519 --> 01:33:50.880
People think he's lazy.
01:33:50.960 --> 01:33:58.559
Uh, I just I as someone who feels like he understands the game of football, watching him play, I never thought it was a processing issue.
01:33:58.639 --> 01:34:00.319
And I didn't think it was a lazy issue.
01:34:00.479 --> 01:34:02.079
I didn't think he didn't understand the game.
01:34:02.239 --> 01:34:03.599
I think he has all the tools.
01:34:03.679 --> 01:34:06.000
I think it was just a confidence, a confidence issue.
01:34:06.159 --> 01:34:09.840
Maybe it was a continuity issue, which I I think I would prefer that.
01:34:10.000 --> 01:34:12.960
If it was a process, a processing issue, that's hard to fix.
01:34:13.119 --> 01:34:15.039
A confidence issue, easier to fix.
01:34:15.199 --> 01:34:18.319
A continu, a continuity issue, easiest to fix.
01:34:18.639 --> 01:34:23.439
What we saw in the Texas AM game was okay, clearly he can see the field the right way.
01:34:23.599 --> 01:34:24.800
Do we like him to run more?
01:34:24.960 --> 01:34:26.800
Yes, but he can see the field, right?
01:34:26.880 --> 01:34:29.840
He knows the picture that Joe Sloan is painting for him.
01:34:30.000 --> 01:34:30.319
Perfect.
01:34:30.479 --> 01:34:33.840
We got that confident it confidence issue made some big time throws.
01:34:33.920 --> 01:34:42.479
The Darby throw that in the first half should have been a touchdown, made it, boom, takes another shot, even harder throw to DJ, happens, boom, and then we had another shot to Darby.
01:34:42.639 --> 01:34:43.439
Darby makes a play.
01:34:43.679 --> 01:34:45.760
So we see the deep, deep shot plays happening.
01:34:45.840 --> 01:34:46.239
Awesome.
01:34:46.319 --> 01:34:47.279
We hadn't seen that so far.
01:34:47.519 --> 01:34:48.639
Minchy's got it figured out.
01:34:48.800 --> 01:34:52.720
We see the next step of him running the football, then we know we actually have a dude.
01:34:52.880 --> 01:34:57.519
So hopefully we saw Tex AM, Kentucky fans can kind of relax.
01:34:57.599 --> 01:35:00.399
There's still a bit of a training wheel thing put on Minchie.
01:35:00.559 --> 01:35:04.960
I understand why they're doing it through three games, but they got to bring them all off now.
01:35:05.119 --> 01:35:06.960
You've seen, you've seen what he can do.
01:35:07.119 --> 01:35:08.319
Take the training wheels off.
01:35:08.399 --> 01:35:09.840
Let this dude go win games.
01:35:10.000 --> 01:35:18.639
And the the reason why I'm saying this right now is because I want to get away from six runs up the middle to close the game.
01:35:18.720 --> 01:35:18.960
Okay.
01:35:19.039 --> 01:35:20.159
I guess we won the game.
01:35:20.239 --> 01:35:21.760
We made them burn timeouts.
01:35:21.920 --> 01:35:24.720
I understand why the play calls were happening, but you know what?
01:35:24.880 --> 01:35:28.000
Two first downs in that game, we win the game taking a knee.
01:35:28.079 --> 01:35:29.439
Text AM never touches it.
01:35:29.519 --> 01:35:40.399
It doesn't become a 10-point game where they so I want the I want us to change in this new era of Kentucky football away from okay, analytics say let's run the ball six times, make them burn timeouts.
01:35:40.479 --> 01:35:42.720
They're not gonna score from 95 yards away with Marcel.
01:35:42.960 --> 01:35:43.920
No, no, f that.
01:35:44.000 --> 01:35:46.000
I'm gonna win this game with the ball in my hands.
01:35:46.079 --> 01:35:51.119
So if that means I gotta pass the ball on third and eight, I'm gonna pass the ball on third and eight because I believe in my quarterback.
01:35:51.199 --> 01:35:52.079
That's what I want to get to.
01:35:52.159 --> 01:35:52.880
That's my final shot.
01:35:53.039 --> 01:35:53.599
Thank you, brother.
01:35:53.760 --> 01:35:54.559
Paul, bring it.
01:35:54.720 --> 01:35:57.519
I think we need to raise our expectation level of this team.
01:35:57.679 --> 01:36:00.000
Um, I picked them to win eight games to start.
01:36:00.159 --> 01:36:03.519
Um I admit, I kind of laughed at that.
01:36:03.599 --> 01:36:08.399
But I'm getting really ear, I get real irritated when we talk about this team.
01:36:08.559 --> 01:36:10.960
Will Stein is basically, I don't know what else he has to do.
01:36:11.039 --> 01:36:18.079
I mean, obviously, I know what else he has to do, but you know, through three games to really show that the mentality of this program is not the same.
01:36:18.159 --> 01:36:20.319
This is not Kentucky football anymore as we know it.
01:36:20.399 --> 01:36:25.279
And I would just say buckle up because, you know, look in two weeks, I could be sitting here eating humble pie.
01:36:25.519 --> 01:36:28.720
You know, we could be coming off a terrible game against South Carolina.
01:36:28.880 --> 01:36:35.199
But like the next three weeks, like if I'm a if I'm a Kentucky football fan, I mean, you have three weeks for eternity at this point.
01:36:35.359 --> 01:36:36.559
You win the next three games.
01:36:36.720 --> 01:36:37.679
Let's just say two games.
01:36:37.760 --> 01:36:38.399
Let's just go two.
01:36:38.479 --> 01:36:39.359
Let's take them two in a row.
01:36:39.519 --> 01:36:50.000
Let's just, you know, you go and you win the next two games, and you're setting up games now that changed not only the trajectory of the season, but the trajectory of your football program's history.
01:36:50.159 --> 01:36:52.960
I'm not joking when I was I like I I will not joke.
01:36:53.039 --> 01:36:54.720
I will say this right now on the recording.
01:36:54.880 --> 01:36:56.800
I think this team can make a playoff run this year.
01:36:56.880 --> 01:36:57.519
I felt that.
01:36:57.599 --> 01:37:00.159
I thought that they could, I think they showed they could.
01:37:00.319 --> 01:37:02.559
Whether they will or not is a is a question.
01:37:02.880 --> 01:37:04.239
But who's to say right now?
01:37:04.559 --> 01:37:05.439
Who's to say health?
01:37:05.599 --> 01:37:10.479
I can't say health is a big thing, health is a big thing, and depth.
01:37:10.639 --> 01:37:17.599
If that continues to improve on the depth side and we stay healthy, I think they I think it's a possibility.
01:37:17.760 --> 01:37:24.720
I'm not saying that they will, I'm not pretty, but I think this team winning eight or even nine games this year is a lot more likely than people think.
01:37:25.199 --> 01:37:32.960
But here's the thing, Paul, with when it comes to the depth, because depth is my well, Alabama to us, depth was the concern.
01:37:33.119 --> 01:37:36.079
We didn't have where the fuck was that concern yesterday?
01:37:36.159 --> 01:37:36.880
There was no depth.
01:37:37.119 --> 01:37:38.079
In a hundred-degree weather.
01:37:38.319 --> 01:37:39.599
In a hundred degree exactly.
01:37:39.840 --> 01:37:41.359
How many turnovers did we have yesterday?
01:37:41.519 --> 01:37:41.840
Zero.
01:37:42.000 --> 01:37:42.159
Right.
01:37:42.399 --> 01:37:43.119
There's your di exactly.
01:37:43.199 --> 01:37:43.599
There's your difference.
01:37:43.840 --> 01:37:44.159
Fuck yeah.
01:37:45.039 --> 01:37:48.399
We've created five turnovers against two top 15 teams, by the way.
01:37:48.479 --> 01:37:48.800
Just saying.
01:37:49.439 --> 01:37:56.960
A pick six in the first half, which was bad, a fumble in the second half, and uh essentially a turnover, a definitely a turnover and the fake punt.
01:37:57.119 --> 01:37:58.800
Three turnovers change that game.
01:37:58.960 --> 01:38:03.439
You just you just not turn the ball over, we still probably lose to Bama, but it's a three-point game, right?
01:38:03.519 --> 01:38:04.720
And we think about it completely differently.
01:38:04.800 --> 01:38:05.599
And we're ranked this week.
01:38:05.679 --> 01:38:08.399
If you lose to Bama by three at home from that, it's complete.
01:38:08.639 --> 01:38:11.920
I don't think I honestly think, Randall, if we don't throw that pick six, they probably win the game.
01:38:12.000 --> 01:38:19.359
Like it's like he probably wins that game because I I mean you take seven points off the board, you're going at two scores in the halftime against Bama with the way the defense was playing.
01:38:19.439 --> 01:38:22.960
I think you win that game because you take all the other things out of play.
01:38:23.039 --> 01:38:27.199
And I think this team learned the execution and how to stay focused.
01:38:27.279 --> 01:38:31.039
And honestly, I think they may have gotten a little over their skis at halftime.
01:38:31.199 --> 01:38:35.279
Like, oh yeah, we got, you know, and now I think they're laser focused and know how to finish.
01:38:35.439 --> 01:38:35.920
You know what?
01:38:36.079 --> 01:38:36.880
That's a good point.
01:38:37.119 --> 01:38:38.720
Way a very good point, Paul.
01:38:38.880 --> 01:38:39.840
Um, Dave O.
01:38:39.920 --> 01:38:50.399
I think wouldn't it be cool if we uh as we do this these shows every Sunday night, we look back at that second half of the Alabama game, like we fucking did that second half.
01:38:50.479 --> 01:38:53.279
Yeah, just shape us up, shape us for the rest of these.
01:38:53.599 --> 01:38:54.639
Your final shot, brother.
01:38:55.119 --> 01:38:58.639
Yeah, sometimes you gotta get punched in the mouth to find out how you really need to respond.
01:38:58.800 --> 01:38:59.279
Absolutely.
01:38:59.439 --> 01:39:02.720
And then luckily it happened early enough to where we got when we found that out.
01:39:02.880 --> 01:39:06.079
Um, shout out, shout out to the to the volleyball cats.
01:39:06.159 --> 01:39:09.599
Uh four sets, right?
01:39:09.840 --> 01:39:10.000
Four.
01:39:10.319 --> 01:39:10.720
Yep, yeah.
01:39:10.960 --> 01:39:12.319
The first set was pretty ugly.
01:39:12.479 --> 01:39:16.239
The last three, they pretty much ran mobile out of the gym, um, as they should be.
01:39:16.319 --> 01:39:18.880
So ails down as always in every score possible.
01:39:19.039 --> 01:39:20.239
Um, congratulations.
01:39:20.479 --> 01:39:23.199
Um, and congratulations to I got the gear on.
01:39:23.519 --> 01:39:26.559
Uh, we had to finish up a game today for Friday for the suspension.
01:39:26.639 --> 01:39:32.159
Um, we tried to talk Eastern High School into just taking the seven nutter loss and making it official.
01:39:32.239 --> 01:39:38.720
Um, but of course, they wanted us to come back this afternoon and belt the ass and be on 55 to 14.
01:39:38.800 --> 01:39:42.880
Uh, so congratulations to Matt the Ravens uh on the fern creek.
01:39:43.039 --> 01:39:44.239
On the fern creek.
01:39:44.399 --> 01:39:44.880
Good stuff.
01:39:45.039 --> 01:39:47.199
All right, my final take, monologue.
01:39:47.599 --> 01:39:51.519
Oh, what a difference one Saturday can make, guys.
01:39:51.599 --> 01:40:00.399
Uh, Kentucky went into college station with a lot of questions hanging over this team and walked out with a statement win over a top 10 opponent.
01:40:00.479 --> 01:40:02.159
I don't give a fuck what people like.
01:40:02.239 --> 01:40:06.800
Uh you know, I I saw on social media like this is out AM's not a top 10 team.
01:40:06.880 --> 01:40:07.519
Well, you know what?
01:40:07.599 --> 01:40:14.479
If your team beat the number one ranked team at third week of the season, you all would be just checking yourselves off to that too.
01:40:14.559 --> 01:40:16.319
But, anyways, uh, let's keep it simple.
01:40:16.559 --> 01:40:17.039
Build on it.
01:40:17.119 --> 01:40:23.439
Take care of business against South Alabama, keep getting better, stay healthy, and let's see where this thing goes.
01:40:23.599 --> 01:40:26.000
I have to ask real quick before I sign off.
01:40:26.239 --> 01:40:33.359
Does Will Stein, Coach Stein, wish um uh Mitch was still the AD?
01:40:33.599 --> 01:40:38.559
Because after yesterday, my gus says that a hold on, hold on.
01:40:39.599 --> 01:40:53.840
Listen, listen after yesterday, if coach if if Barthart was still the AD, after yesterday, coach Will Stein would have had a five-year extension and his salary would be at$10 million right now.
01:40:54.239 --> 01:40:57.439
So might still might give him give him three more wins that might.
01:40:57.519 --> 01:41:03.679
I I almost bet you if we win the next three games, you're gonna hear Will Stein signs a five-year contract extension with a race.
01:41:03.760 --> 01:41:17.119
And he should go seven and five or or better, Kentucky will have to pay him and give him a like a very long-term deal because Florida State, I don't think he would leave, but like is he will ask for specifically.
01:41:17.359 --> 01:41:21.840
No, but there's gonna be teams calling for him, and there are gonna be good football programs calling for him.
01:41:22.000 --> 01:41:29.359
You know, Clemson could be open, Florida State could be open, keep going, but like I don't think he would leave, but agents gonna do what agents do.
01:41:29.439 --> 01:41:30.800
Will Stein's gonna be like, hey, I can't.
01:41:30.960 --> 01:41:31.920
We've got to negotiate.
01:41:32.000 --> 01:41:33.119
That's that's another thing.
01:41:33.199 --> 01:41:34.399
So let's go ahead and lock this in.
01:41:34.639 --> 01:41:35.599
I don't think he would leave.
01:41:36.159 --> 01:41:40.639
Will Stein will be a 10 to 11 million dollar head coach in within the next three years.
01:41:40.720 --> 01:41:41.920
Uh put it in the bank.
01:41:42.319 --> 01:41:42.800
All right, guys.
01:41:43.039 --> 01:41:46.880
And Kentucky will make a playoff, will be in the playoffs in the next three years.
01:41:47.119 --> 01:41:52.399
What we have to do though, Paul, is make sure that if he leaves, it's for the NFL and not for a better football program.
01:41:52.720 --> 01:41:53.039
Correct.
