I'm sure we will get some reasoned analysis from the fans post this game. But Texas squeaks by, really it's 27 to 24, but they scored late. It's kind of a whatever final score, but, you know, it wasn't the best way to do it. It would have been cooler to some other styles, but when's a win, right, Drew? Hey, man, when's a win? Here we go. I refuse to allow the Georgia game to beat us twice. So we accomplished it on the field. We got the W. But I refuse to also allow it to beat up the team or beat up myself about how they look today twice. At the end of the day, yeah, it wasn't pretty. I mean, there are things we got to clean up, but any time you can play this bad and still win, I'll take it, and we want it handedly. So I feel good about the win. I feel good about the way it finished because we know we need to work on to clean it up. So this is what it is. Paul, how you feeling? Good. Got the W. This is why I picked Vanderbilt to cover this. What we just saw. But go on the road, get a win, and you got to buy. There's a lot of stuff they can work on and get better. And I think it'll be a good thing. I will say that penalties are the story of the game. Texas outgame number 392 to 269. Ten penalties on Texas for 108 yards. Four per 35 for Vandy. So it's not just the number of penalties. You know, certainly an offside hurts you. A man holding really hurts you because some of those holding penalties negated. Good plays, big, you know, significant plays. But if you're talking about big plays, that's what Vanderbilt didn't have. So I think hats off to the defense. Vanderbilt thrives in ball control. They were three of 12 on third down against us. That's very good. In terms of explosives, the passing game. Hey, 17 of 31 for 155 yards. Two interceptions. We'll take that from our past defense every week and praise God for that. Because that's outstanding past defense. So there's a lot of good things, I think, on defense from this game that you can take. So offensively a mixed bag, a lot of that because of penalties. Okay. Okay, Paul. I'm just going to go ahead and say it because we talked about it before we got on camera, but. Our offense right now is a liability. I think we all see that. A liability to itself on key downs. You make a big play. There's a penalty on first downs. You get a penalty for, you know, unforced errors or penalties. Because you're, you know, snapping the ball or snapping fractions. And then you turn it over the ball. I mean, Quinn was as efficient as ever, but even still they had the turnovers and. Yeah, you can't keep putting your defense in that spot. And while this seems correctable, this seems like something we should be able to coach out of them. And maybe, you know, every season has their, their swings where you just go through a period of, you're just not sharp. You know, Sark always says you get what you emphasize. Well, this is something we got to figure out in the off season. I mean, well, man, in the bi-week that's coming up. The defense has consistently shown up and made plays and done what they need to do. Even when they have short fields, Pavia made a great play on that first touchdown that goodness. I think that actually woke everyone up and realized, okay, this guy can go. So that's a lock in. And I think after that first touchdown run, he had everyone else just kind of locked in on D, but we can't keep putting our offense. I mean, our defense in this position, everybody knows that it's obvious. But I think this is something that, you know, we'll get addressed. Yeah, I'm that first Pavia touchdown for the scramble. We had him where we wanted him in terms of down and distance. He's scrambling to his right and Jalen Gilbo took a leisurely, I'm chasing the quarterback angle. And did Gil Pavia said, I'm going to just accelerate down the sideline and stretch out and touch the pile on. And I think Gilbo was kind of shocked. I think it was sort of a play speed wake up for everybody. And then, hey, Trey Moore, a guy who's gotten a lot of grief. Best best game as a Longhorn and just had impacts all over the game. Of course, I left my notes upstairs. But I mean, I had him for multiple pressures of Johnny on the spot recovered fumble. He played a shuttle pass. Just beautifully, like they lured him in and he kind of felt it. And then he just played it like he was like he was playing deep it. Like when Manu Ginoebly hit that bat. Remember that? When the bat flew by him? You guys ever seen that? Yeah. Yeah. Manu Ginoebly just put his hand out and hit the bat and killed it. That's what Trey Moore did on that play. So fantastic game from Trey Moore. Just absolutely great game from that guy. I feel everyone on these Honda Civics and getting rid of the Lambo's. But can we, did anybody else notice? I don't always look for specific players. I can see who just jumps out. Jelani McDonald. I mean, some good open field tackles, you know, when you get that number of snaps, we hadn't got a chance to see him just get that volume. The guy can make plays in open space. He's where he needs to be. He finishes strong. Man, just we just keep, we have a solid group back there. And of course, Michael Taft just shows up and does what he does every game. Just, just, just, he's always around the ball, always around the rim. And yeah, I think that position in and of itself today helped us out of a lot of trouble. Yeah, we're making some plays too, man. The whole secondary I've been super impressed with. Oh, I thought Jelani led us in tackles, but I get Anthony Hill had a better second half. Anthony was really quiet in that first half and a little hesitant. The option was kind of making him hesitant. And then he really played a lot more freely that second half. I thought we did a good job against the option. Yeah, we did. Yeah. Yeah, we do what we need to do. So Colin six tackles, not another TFL. He had a great game against Georgia as well, low lay, another good game. They've, they've really kind of edged out. Broughton, Broughton's had a slow couple of weeks consecutively and I guess he's going to be out now for a targeting. Is that the case? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I thought it's on the Manny DPI refs wanted that Cinderella story to continue often, often Scott works are doing the buy hook them. I thought it was DPI. There are some worst calls. It's just hard when both guys engage. And then you kind of get the last guy doing to get hands. He gets the call. I mean, I've. Drew's right. I've seen worse. He's just more active in trying to locate the ball. I would just argue that that's two guys playing offense and defense and let it go. But Manny was just playing his hands at that point. Yeah. He was, he was like, if that ball ends up in the guy's hands, I'm going to knock him out. That was his play, right? And in ideal world, you want to get your eyes back. That's the only way to prevent that situation. Once you play his hands and you don't get your eyes back, it comes down to timing. And the refs and it's out of your control. So. That's how many. Cool. We got a bunch of comments. Everybody feels strongly about this game. So I'm trying to go through it and kind of keep it to where we're not bouncing around, just like from player to player. But I thought defense was really solid. They keep getting put in some awful situations, right with the offense. It seems like a majority of everything we're hearing here is offensive football. So let's go ahead and hop over the offense. And see what you guys have to say. So Quinn still struggling with pressure. I noticed they were sending, they said a corner blitz, which was made sense because Georgia did that. So they're seeing something on tape and then they sent that nickel a couple of times. We also burnt that corner blitz. Did DeAndre Moore? Yep. And after he got the wheel, the post wheel. Yeah. That was the, that was on the corner blitz. So that was, that was a good counter to it. That's a little bit lit by the sword. Die by the sword. That Paul, right? Yeah, it's, it's so timing. You're going to look like an idiot or a genius. And so, but I have noticed they're sending a lot of like the apex defender. They're sending him often. So I'm wondering what it is with our pass protection or they just don't trust Quinn to handle it well. And every time they pretty much did send it besides the corner when they sent the nickel, Quinn did kind of get shaky and not complete. So I need to go watch that several times again. I was watching that all through Georgia. There's something there that we're doing incorrectly. And teams are are picking out with Quinn. So I agree that he was still struggling under pressure. Yeah, a couple of those slide protections. So our. I think people were attributing this to the offensive line, but some of our protections are off. It's not necessarily the O line. Now, I did see Cam Williams get straight up beat on an inside move. That's on. Yeah, but the slide protection that wasn't that the guy ran by Hayden Connor. Hayden Connor believed in his heart that Jayden blue had that guy. Yeah, Jayden blue did not have that guy in his mind. So I don't know who was right or wrong, but Connor doesn't typically bust. So I don't know what happened on that one, but you know, we were kind of talking about this and I've talked about it before, but. Yours is not robust in the pocket. He feels a little small, right? Like he wilts and grand at all. Yeah, and some guys, you know, I'm not asking him to be Cam Newton and stand there with three dudes draped on him and still like throw the ball or Ben Marathos burger, but. You can have a little bit of movement and a little bit more command. I kind of feel like if a hand gets on him, he's going down. He's not going to spin out of it. He's not going to work off of it. So, you know, that's part of it. That's part of the issues, but, you know, we've got to obviously get him to move a little better and we got to protect him. And then we got stuff like Cam Williams that was just egregious. You know, you can't lose on an inside move like that. That's not on Quinn. Yeah, but also cam come back because we need you. Yeah, our needs. Yeah, our needs for every time cam gives up a sack. I'm like, yes. That means arch. That means arch has a tackle next year. We have what they call perverse incentives. Yeah, exactly. But yeah, the offensive line is that's what's been most kind of jarring about this. You know, I've always questions Quinn's consistency and ability under pressure. The offensive line, I did not see that coming to go from kind of like Joe more level like, are they going to win it this year to like what is going on? That's probably been the most jarring part of the offense to me is, is actually the offensive line. And we've never been that good at run blocking. So that doesn't like shock me. But the amount of sex given up, even if we take away Quinn holding the ball too long, still giving up that many sex is not what I would have thought of this line. I just think everything's connected. I mean, at the end of the day, I think the run game is connected to the passing game that's connected to the rhythm and to the flow of the game and to the way the offensive line wants to attack the quarterback. That's just what it really comes down to. I don't think they are used to have it to purely make us your game day headquarters this football season.

Just to protect and have like just situational football. When you have situational protection, that allows the defensive coordinator to dial up something very specific. You're out of rhythm, you're guessing. However, when you're in command, when you're demanding kind of coordinating or kind of directing with the defense or dictating what the defense has to do, you stay in rhythm. You're getting the protections you want. You're in control. So I do think that's where we are right now. We are not in command and dictating what the defense does. And we're finding ourselves in situations and more often, especially do the penalties that are requiring that it's situational. It's second and long, third and long. What do you do in those situations if you're in our line? I think it's all connected. Yeah. But also, if we're getting the penalties and putting ourselves in these damn second and twenties, you know, but I thought in obvious passing downs, still, I trusted this line. You know, so it's like, I get that it's all tied together, but I mean, we're giving up legit sacks. You know, even when we had seven versus Georgia, four of them, we can say our quends. That's still three sacks. That's a lot of sacks to give up. But also for behind the ball, we're giving them shots. It's just. You're right. It does seem systemic that the offense is just it's becoming what do you call it, Paul, the vicious cycle or the virtuous circle. Yeah, the virtuous circle. Exactly. You're describing a vicious cycle. Yeah. It's the, it's the angry. It's the angry rhombus. But yeah, I think that. Hey, DeAndre Moore props to that guy. Huge first half. Really big game. Two touchdowns. When I wrote my preview, I noticed that Vanderbilt plays like a big nickel. And what I mean by that is like a 215 pound guy who sets the edge and kind of acts like as a quasi linebacker. And they cover him up from behind. But Sark has repeatedly shown that he will exploit your big nickels with the slot. And DeAndre Moore did exactly that. So a Silas Bolden also had a big catch later in the game to convert a long third down from the slot. Similar deal. So that was a good game for DeAndre. He blocked really well as well. So big game for him. Yeah, I was thinking too. It's like we're killing, though. It's like helm and more. It's like we love going over the middle. I want to see the targets because it feels like our outside guys aren't getting a ton of run there. Remember, their corners are not that good. So that was interesting too. I just didn't see like a ton of outside kind of play. We also can't throw anything deep. So I don't really know what to expect there, but feel noticed that it's just kind of, it's like hell more, hell more, hell more. It's all slot based stuff. We find it. We are. Yeah, those guys combined for 10 catches for 143 yards, but I don't know what their targets were. It'll show you. So if it wasn't a check down, we were thrown over the middle on an intermediate route. So more eight targets, helm six targets. There you go. Yeah. So our outside guys golden got three. Wingo got a good amount at five. Thought they did a good job limiting wingo. I don't know how much they limited wingo or we just couldn't get it to them, but. I thought that was interesting. I just feel like we're just not maximized with our passing weapons like we were early in the season where it was like every other time it was another guy. It feels diminished. Yeah. And it's like nothing's teed up. Usually there's some throws even even, you know, 15 to 20 yard throws that are just there. Quinn sees them. He gets rid of it. A guy sitting in a hole, whether he's sitting down or just running free. We just haven't had those in the last few weeks. I don't know if that's the coordinators we've played against, which is just probably obsessed. I've said this on the offensive side of things. I think when some when offensive coaches, especially head coaches or teams with an offensive identity play against SARC, it's almost as if they try to do some things to just show that they can keep up with SARC offensively. When we play these DCs when we play these defensive coordinators that teams with defensive identities, they're not about to just let SARC make a name on them. I mean, there's some pride that comes with things when it comes to the schematic. So I just, I think this is a different league than what we're used to. I think we're in just in that regard alone. You just can't roll into a game and let the talent roll out. I mean, the coaches are going to show and make sure their side of the ball, where they're supposed to be good on that they show up. I just I sense that, especially in the last two weeks. Now, a lot of these things are our fault and self-imposed. And when we look back at the film, we really want to tribute it to anything else. But just the mere fact that we don't have those just standard, easy boom, boom throws, middle of the field really easy quick throws just to get quick They haven't been there the last three weeks. So, you know, let's develop right like this is what we came into the lead for this is what Quinn needs to show he's capable of doing coming at the end of the day. We need to continue to win games and figure this out. And SARC has this has everything cut out for him. It is what it is but yeah man got a bye week and come back let's get ready to roll. Yeah. Before we chat a little bit more, let's hear a word from our sponsor. I'm just going to say guys, you probably need a fiduciary financial advisor. And I've got the guy for you.

So, there's also this kind of weird thing with like SARC's offense. And if we looked over the first three years, it's the same thing. And I don't know if this is a SARC's offense or Quinn, but like the offense can go from hot to cold, remarkably fast. And that's something too that I've just over four years. Remember, it used to be we were given up leads. That was the problem. We'd always start fast. And then now we're not even really starting that fast generally, but it's like, I wish we had more consistent scoring. And it doesn't just go from hot to absolutely cold. What is going on so often. And this is the first time really, Georgia, we were really flat, but this is the first one where I felt like it just kind of shut off in the second half and then guys were able to creep back in. I felt like all we've ever needed was a run game. And today we got a run game. I feel like we were flowing today with the run game. It was really the turn over. And the situation of football that turn over penalties and situational football, the situational downs on offense, where they just take something up and Quinn just had to sit down, because he knew it was going to be a SARC. We actually ran the ball well. As far as, let's see. We did 3.1. I mean, we did all right. 1 is that this average, is that because of sex? Yeah, you have to take out the sacks. Okay, let's look at look at what blue and and wiser did. I bet that's all sex. Yeah, they were they were like for that. Quinn does have an effect where. So Quinn is negative for. Yeah. So between those guys, it would actually be 4.5 ish right here between our 4.6 and a half. We ran a ball great. I mean, we had negative 20 yards on that, like we did what we needed to do in the run game. We control the clock actually too. The passing game was efficient. So when you the penalties and turnovers. That that's what made this what it was. Yeah, Connor, you're you're seeing a disjointed offense and you're right. But the disjointing is 10 penalties for 108 yards and three turnovers. Yeah, because it's hard to stick with the running game when it's second and 20. It's also hard to pass when it's second and 20. Well, we just check it down. Yeah, that's all we do too. We love to check it down. The amount of screening and stuff we do. So this is interesting. What's going on with the deep passing game? Because it's guys getting held back. But even when we're taking those shots, I mean, Quinn's like 20. He like feels like 20 yards off of his mark. The best people are people are keeping a cover over the top for the most part. Yeah. But I'm saying even when we do throw it, it's not even close to competing. Well, you hit the under more. How, how, yeah, how deep was that though? Deep enough for me. Yeah, 20 plus is deep in PFF. Yeah, I mean, it hit him on the run, probably a 17 yard throw, but that's intermediate to me. I mean, like, where's the fade ball, man? Like, let's hit for 40. You know, like, I don't see those. I just feel, you know, when we say how, how, what is Quinn doing well in practice? I think the things where he's doing well is what we're saying. I think that's just what the growing screens and flat routes. Yeah, and trying to catch some of your faces on the run. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, we don't know what we're going to appeal at least what we got. Yeah. Yeah, but yeah, man. Being that limited offensively is, is pretty scary, man. But when we used to hit the D balls, what do we do last year? We had 12 personnel. Really to receive a routes like, I mean, we're not, we're not doing that. We're just not doing that at all. I think the formula for a deep ball for us. We haven't even seen that offense this year. Not, not to the extent where it's a part of a core of what we're doing. Well, to be fair, I think start gave up on it. Yeah. Like the beginning of this year, remember, we were like, dude, have we even thrown a deep ball? You know, we went through like three games. So clearly has been like, all right, I have, I have three years of coaching you. We're not hitting the balls. I know where he didn't give up on it. It seems where the seems. No, no, I said I know where I know when we had a different quarterback this year, it seemed like we didn't give up on it as much. Well, that's true. Yeah. And yeah, we, because yeah, that's, that is the market difference between Quinn and arch has been, and also the archal just let that thing fly, man. It's pretty damn nice. That was fast. You guys are going to work the every play and that's already. Hey, I got to thank that guy. He has saved my life a few times where I had to miss the Texas game because of family obligations or something. And to have that thing up, like, that's just awesome. That is a monster. Yeah. Anything else stuck out offensively? Yeah, I mean, I got to say, like, not to be that guy. I mean, we earned most of our penalties, but the Calvin banks hold on a run play was not a hold. I didn't think the gun or helm on that zone insert play. I didn't think that was a hold. I don't know. Split zone. How do you hold on split zones? You're literally running head to head defense with a defensive end. Yeah. I did feel like blue. I mean, kind of taking a step. Just just back and sec. I do think I feel like blue and Weisner ran well today. There are certain things that I did not expect, and I did not expect us to have a run game and backs that were both equally contributing, like equally getting the yards. We needed having explosive runs. I mean, what were the longs for both of those guys today, and I know. Yeah. It's rushing long 24. Weisner 23 for blue. And I thought blue had a really clutch one at the end of the year. Yeah. So just making this is what this is the difference. I mean, SART recruits and has these guys. It's like, Hey, I want you to be a star. I want you to, I want to put you in a position to make plays in open space. This is what we need. We need you making these plays in open space. Even if it is a check down, make a play, get it, get a few extra yards. That's the whole point. This is supposed, it's not just hey, checking down for the sake of just getting the ball out. Like, no, your job is to still go make a guy miss. So we just need to keep making guys miss on those plays and getting the most out of those plays. I just thought that, I mean, DeAndre Moore, but also thought the backs did a great job of making plays in space today that we needed. I mean, that was a big part of the difference today. I really felt like a big 12 road game 30 K stadium holding penalties after big Texas plays Texas making home head plays. Yeah, that was that was a flashback. We did have that energy, didn't it? No, yeah. But one way, you know, the worm is turned a bunch of those and with us with like a weird inexplicable loss at the end of the game, right? Right. I mean, we had that stretch for a while. And so I don't know about you. I mean, this is a little, you know, wellness check for all of us, but for myself, I never felt we were going to lose the game. I never felt thrown. No, no, no, I didn't think we were going to lose. It was just kind of like, damn, my last half of the game could have gone emotionally smoother, but I didn't feel like they're about to take it and win this game. Yeah. Yeah, because earlier I said we want, you know, I feel like we wanted handedly, not literally, but that's how it fell. I felt we felt in control the whole time. It's just, it was a frustrating control. I'll say this. I mean, certain teams are difficult to blow out. Yeah. They're just like they're not constructed in a way that, you know, you need their guys to keep playing hard for one thing, but also just sort of they can pick up yards, you know, in unorthodox ways that you can't really game plan for like P.O.B. Bobby is legs or I mean, yeah, yeah, that's exactly right. I mean, it's true. I'm here at Pavia is the Mexican Sam Ellinger. Yeah. Has anyone answered the brought in question about targeting? Was it? I mean, yeah, if you made he made forcible contact to Pavia's head and neck. I think it would be like the clearest thing. No, but technically he made forcible contact to that area. Therefore targeting such a such a fun rule. It's, we got to accept the difference in it now. I don't like it. I don't like it, but we, but we used to have like, so I believe you should penalize people for just leading with the crown of their helmet and just jacking. Yeah. We used to have a penalty called spearing. Yeah. Remember? Yeah. Yeah. Like, and you could get ejected for it. Yeah. But I don't know, I just don't like because now targeting is a hard case. I think that's what happens. It's just like, it's a football play and it's inadvertent. Sometimes you're just like really. Yeah. We're not like there are more violent plays in the game than what Vernon brought in. Yes. They're not on camera, right? They're not on camera. Right. Yeah. More likely to injure you than what brought in dead off camera. Yeah. Yeah. So I was preparing for our little chat here. I missed the Kobe black pick six. What, what happened? Was it an errant throw? Probably got pressure. I guess it was errant. But did he? Yeah, it was it was errant. I mean, but I mean, he was there to make the play and he took it back. I mean, he. What did we get? I missed the flag as we were talking on that. I didn't see why I got called back. I just saw a guy called back. That was the brought in play. That was the targeting plan. Yeah. That was the target. Tell you what, Kobe black played well. Yeah, he did. He was great on that one slant on a third and long. Very fair and barren had a good one too. Yeah. Kobe black is a huge corner. If he can stay there, that's going to be wild. Like that dude's big. Yeah. Yeah. To keep him from bumping over to safety size is going to be like the game of the coaches. Because he's a he's a big player. Big kid. I don't know. When I look at the difference between them though. And I haven't seen him enough yet. But Jalani McDonald, it seems more quick, twitch, then then Kobe right now. Yes. And it's just when you talk about him going to safety, it's like, do I want to see him in space or what I'd rather him be on an island where at least he knows what he's doing and who he's responsible for. I'm not sure I want to see him as safety right now. That's such a good point about Jalani when you see him move. You assume he's like 190. Yeah. Yeah. And he wears his weight well like he's not all muscled up. He still looks like. But he's just big and then he moved like in a deceptive way. I was very impressed by that guy like supporting the run in the open field from depth is one of the hardest things to do in football. And Drew you're a guy who had to do that. And it's not easy. And DeShawn Elliott still has an NFL career because he's so good at it. And you know they're like, we'll line you up deep. And so they won't have a advantage on you as a coverage guy. And we know you can fill from the way like it's crazy. It's a crazy skill. But yeah, that's why I'm not sure Kobe Black yet is at least I haven't seen him show that I trusted in open space but if he can keep just finding himself and developing as a as a as a corner. Be a big corner. We need. Quinn camp throw deep balls are boring taken dumb. As earlier says that he's seen Quinn throw a deep ball. Therefore he can throw it. We're not saying he literally has not completed a deep ball man. We're saying that the amount if you look at a temp share in the SEC, Quinn throws deep 8.7% of the time for the lowest in the SEC. If you're an officer, if you're if you're Steve Sarkeesian and your quarterbacks and elite deep ball thrower and you're known for being a deep ball offense, you think he would choose to make Quinn throw it deep. So apparently Sark also agrees that there's some struggles here with Quinn hitting deep because we're not even throwing it at 10%. And if you look historically he's one of the worst deep ball throwers and big 12 the past two years. So for whatever it was we thought it was worthy maybe ball tracking member all that. Why can't they complete deep the reality is Quinn's not a great deep ball thrower. He's just not. Yep. It's that it's that simple. It gets to a point of every season where we got to just start seeing things for what they are, instead of what we wish them to be. And so, I mean, but this isn't just the first season of this. Yeah, we haven't tried three years. Yeah, so it is what it is. Yeah, and one thing about pocket presence and while we're talking about all that. Yeah, the one form of pocket presence is I'm 65 to 40. I'm Josh Allen and like, I shake defensive lineman off me, you know, because I'm as big as you like my frame is. Another form is Tom Brady. I shift slightly to the right two feet and suddenly the withering pressure. It's like a ocean breeze, right? Yeah. And you've got to find some way to do one of the two. If you watch Garrett Nussmeyer at LSU, he's actually very physically limited. He is not fast. When he runs the 40 in the combine, get ready to laugh. But he's actually really good in the pocket. And he kind of negotiates around in there and he has a good align, but he helps them quite a bit. And he just spells pressure just by his movement and his awareness of they're coming from here. You know, before the snap, I saw this guy's in a five technique and they're running a twist. So I know that my out is right here. So I'm going to shuffle two feet right and throw the ball. And it really helps relieve it's a release valve on your offensive line. So everything's not on them to be perfect every every play. And I think the awareness, like you said, is the keyword there, because Brady knows where the pressures are coming from, where they're blitzing from, all that kind of stuff. He knows exactly where to move and we just don't have that for whatever reason. And teams are picking up on that. They're sending a lot of edge pressure after us now. And they're making sure that they're checking into five offensive line is playing man, five guys, five guys. And then they're purposely trying to send that guy to make Quinn have to deal with them. It's interesting. I'm going to study that. I'll probably do something on that here in this upcoming week. All right. Everyone's talking LSU A&M. I do not have it up.

I'm about to pull it up sneakily. The audio is going to go crazy. What's the score? Is there a score update? The LSU is the most consistent team in the SEC. Like, they get better every week. I feel like they've shown up as the most about throwing the ball, running the ball, kind of getting their way and then they continue to get better as a defense. But we can't even say that about Georgia right now. We don't know what Georgia team we're going to see next time they're on the field. Yeah, that LSU defense improving is just pure coaching because they're not super talented. They're just playing much better together. And you know what, Ian Boyd got some grief last year from a bunch of people saying Harold Perkins holds back their defense. Harold Perkins was holding back their defense. That is right. He doesn't fit their scheme and they're having to make concessions to get this elite athlete out there. But when you try to play him and like doing the things he does best. They people just line up a tight end on him and run the ball right at him. And then, and then when you try to move him somewhere else and say, Oh, let's put him at Mike and use that athleticism. He doesn't see it. And, you know, they have gotten better since his injury. It's a weird thing to think because that guy's a freak of an athlete. I've never heard this. I haven't paid attention to like how the standings work and if, and if who beats who how does it work. I don't know how it works. We don't need to end tonight. We just need to be out. We're just fine. But we just need to win out people like don't worry about it. We're going to play him. Well, the concern is that LSU will win out as well. And then LSU and Georgia would play in the SEC title game. That happens. The guess what, we're the five seed. All good. I'm good with that. But whoever loses the championship, they're going to give them the five. I don't think so. I don't know if that's true. I think they're going to drop the non. You think they're going to drop the second person below the non because I think I think that championship game will not be competitive. I think it's in your interest if you start losing that game early to play for the playoffs and think about that. So we'll see. Either way, we got to win out. Yeah, just went out and like we control our destiny to the extent that we do. And if we win out, I actually think we have a great chance at the five seed. But if we don't get the five seed will be the six seed, whatever, we'll play, you know, we'll play Penn State and then we get to play the big 12 champion. Great. That'll work. That'll be cool. You want to let the people know about a game Winslow? Yeah, I'll tell the people about Gabe Winslow. You guys are disappointed about this score because Texas won narrowly. But here's the way you can score in your financial life with your mortgage. Call this number 832-557-1095. Gabe Winslow is a diehard Longhorn, Longhorn graduate has a law degree over 20 years in the industry, former national merit scholar. This guy, he's over qualified for doing loans. With that to use. Oh, Connor did the head tap showing brains. Very good. Connor, he knows how to support a promo. That's good. Hey, seriously, give Gabe a call. He's got an endless list of Longhorns from the show from my podcast that have called him. And they are delighted with his service. Read his Google reviews. It's like 185 star reviews with like paragraphs written about the amazing problem solving he did to get them in their dream house. Call, find out why he's our friend 832-557-1095. Gabe's a man. All right. Yeah, I'm going to, I'm interested to see how the SEC will play out. That's a did Georgia play this week or did they buy again. Yeah, and then they got to play Tennessee. There's the game. Dude, we're not even halfway through the SEC season. There's a lot of stuff that's going to happen. No, it is a fun. If we if we clean up what we need to clean up, if we can. First of all, run the ball the way we ran the ball today. Let's just highlight that if we can continue to run the ball, find the way we ran the ball today and just protect the ball. Eliminate penalties. It's a different game. And this is a team that is that is they execute. I mean, Vanderbilt is not giving you anything and we actually took possessions from them. I mean, today worked in our favor in some ways. They kind of offset. A really bad offensive performance when it just comes to putting yourself in bad situations, but. This will be interesting, Drew, from a defensive player because y'all's penalties are a little different. Y'all are kind of like reacting. I mean, you guys can jump, but it's more of like reacting, you know, get a face mask or something. But as far as like, what do you what do they do when you guys on the offensive side, if you ever peeped over when they're getting all these procedural stuff. You know, that's not in the heat in the moment. How do you limit that? Because we you think they would have tried to limit it after game one, two, three, four, blah, blah, blah. So it's like what's going on with that. How do you improve that. Realistically quick. Honestly, I haven't felt it earlier in the season. It's when you start seeing like, elven banks get penalties and you're like, yeah, yeah. You know, like, I mean, I can't help but think I told you earlier, I think we've been protected because we've been in command. It's different when you're not able to, to just stay on your rhythm and in your flow. I mean, we have, we've had penalties from defensive lines shifting. We've had some, some really, I mean, just bad technique. I mean, we saw a marinade. He was a kind of, we had 10 penalties. He was one of them. You know, we haven't seen him all year. Gunner, you take out two of those penalties plus the holdings and the, it's just, when you start stacking those up. It builds procedural, but you just got to get into a rhythm. When you know where you're man, when you know who you're blocking when you're just really intentional when you have conviction on what your assignments are. We're not doing that. I think we're just, we're not sure. To be honest with you. It's one thing if it's, you're in a loud environment and it's loud and you're nervous. We had a home crowd. And that's to a certain extent today. I heard Pavia on the field. I heard their offense on the field late in the game. I was like, wait, is that a roar? I kind of hear a little bit like is that, you know, for what, for what Vanderbilt can offer it like it didn't sound like there was anything overwhelming. What it really comes down to is we have to be convicted about our assignments and be in position fundamentally to execute those assignments. That's where holds come from. That's where those things come from. It has nothing to do with the environment or anything else. I just feel like we've been out of rhythm for whatever reason and they need to really figure that out. Did you get held more on outside zone and stuff like did you get held more as a defensive player on the more lateral runs because of their nature. Is there anything to that. That's the easiest way to even. You want to get a penalty. You want to be in a position to either share at the blocker or get a penalty call. It didn't always happen. You need to make sure you forcibly separate yourself and put yourself in position to where it looks. I mean, you have to sell it after you actually do the work. You can't just sell it without doing the work. You have to forcibly get the offensive player off of you before to really show that you're trying to do your job because you're allowed to get them off of you. So if they hold on after that. But it does happen on the wide zone. It's hard to address when you're coming downhill. That's the toughest thing because you're really you're hitting. But yeah, when you're when you're trying to shed a block and it's usually when you're working laterally, it stands out more than anything else. I mean, that's when I black got caught. I don't know how we got caught, but yeah, there's just some just some odd plays where we just keep finding ourselves in these positions. But I think too, we're not running the ball between the tackles. I was going to say we're primarily running outside. We're going to get holds. So, yeah, it's just these these teams know we're running it. You got guys across the defensive line and linebackers who are just just trying to get get to space. So the more I zone outside zone you run if you're not getting in position. We got to figure that out. But yeah, you just you want to see it more based on what we're running. I have to think through this pass rush has been an issue every year into PK at some point you have to hold PK accountable for no pass rush. So I think he's just responding that we had zero sacks tonight. But how much dropback passing is Pavia doing in that offense, none. Let's let's keep let's keep the stats into context based on it. Yeah, I mean, so if you're spreading up the field against option. You don't have to have trouble, right. So you can't run yourself out of position. You've got assignments you have to honor. And Vanderbilt is very cleverly coordinated. Like, Hey, if you guys aren't inside Texas subscribers. I really encourage you to subscribe because the stuff that Ian and I do the stuff we do with Connor, Drew's stuff. I mean, it will help give you an education on just sort of why some of these things happen. And if you've noticed on very straightforward passing situations, third and twelve, we got really good pressure on popular force two interceptions off of that pressure. Right. So, yeah, that was unlike him that that one where he just threw it up. That was because of our pressure and Texas right now is 26 in the country and sacks per game. So it's like we're we're doing well. So I understand I was frustrating this game but schematically this is not a sack game. And by the way, sacks are great. We're a fan. Very overrated as a defensive efficacy metric, meaning you know who is number one in sacks many times and had terrible defenses. That was under Charlie strong. We led the big 12 and sacks multiple years where we had bad defenses. Same with one of Manny Diaz's defense that that failed. That was sack of sacks all the time. And then you bust, you know, someone would bust a 70 yard run on you. So, you know, you can't play football like Mark asked to know, like every down, you can't be in a wide nine and just sprint up the field and I don't care if they run inside of me I'm trying to get a sack. So essentially that you'll have to pay the piper on that, but go ahead, you're sorry. And to expound on that, Paul, even though we didn't have sex, what caused the turnovers. We've had more turnovers our DB's have covered well like that that is something so on the opposite side of things you know our offense I feel like we're out of sync. It's not going to run the game. It's not tying into our past game. It's not tying us into us just being able to to command and control and dictate what the defense does. Our off our defense is in sync in a lot of ways. I mean we're we're sufficient enough in the run, where we get in positions where we're putting enough pressure whether we're getting sacks or not. We're putting enough pressure on people to our DB's are in coverage. They have times of cover but sometimes before the quarterback gets there. They're breaking up passes they're aggressive at the point of attack. They're getting tip passes they're they're breaking on the ball they're making plays. To go with your theme of it all ties together. Tax are a form of past defense. Yes, it gets attributed to rushing yardage right, but we have the number one passing defense after eight games in college football. And I mean opponents are averaging like 4.7 yards per attempt. It's crazy. So if you're a stat dork. That is like, dude if your defense holds an offense to six yards an attempt. You're your secondary coach goes good job guys. You got you know you got hit on a couple but that's good defense below five. You're you're killing people's passing games. And we're turning them over to Drew's point. So that's yeah I'll I'll take a turnover over a sack. Any day. Any day. Give me more possessions. We need. I started it again. I think penalties. Yeah. That dude's got. So he and I black are in a competition of play of penalties per play. Yeah. And there's a tight competition. But they each have three so far this year. And we'll see who pulls ahead. Yeah as soon as that happened on the first return I was like man, here we go. I appreciate you for for weather fans. Hey we appreciate you man. Thank you. Bobby is the G of winning sacks. He is. That's why I was weird man. He just threw that yellow ball interception. I was like, Oh, we're getting him a little out of character because he doesn't do like dumb stuff like that. You know. But honestly, probably it didn't play well and our defense had everything to do with that. He dominated Alabama. Yeah. And he was just he was just to jag out there today. So, yeah. Ridiculous to even attempt to analyze a team who plays down to the competition every week. We're going to keep doing it baby. That's not true. We're going to keep doing it. Oh my God. First of all, we're going to analyze it anyway because, you know, that's what we do. It's the job. But also we haven't played down every week. We've blown a bunch of people out. And if you look at our margin of victory, it's pretty good. I think people, and this is where I think as a player, when you're a young player, there's ignorance. Like when you're a freshman and a sophomore, you're still locked into your jersey. You just think merely wearing burn orange. Having a Texas across your jersey. We're going to show up. We're going to win, right? It's until you start watching film and you really get into what it takes to win. It's not even just the preparation for games. It's all of the things they come into it. Vanderbilt thought they were going to win today. Yeah. I guarantee you Vanderbilt showed up expecting to win. Why? Because they prepared to win. They prepared on both sides of the ball to win. They were up seven to zero. You can say all you want about how it happened. But at the end of the day, every week you play against somebody who intends they fully expect to beat you. Their coaches get paid to do it. Most of the coaches get paid millions to do it. Now the players get paid millions to do it. It is, you're playing against people who want to beat you. It is not, we're going to come out here and just kick out of you just because we're better. That is not how this works. And if that is the energy you have as it comes to this game, even playing against Vanderbilt on the road. This Vanderbilt, you know, we said all these years. Hey, that wasn't the same Bama team last year. It wasn't the same Vandy team this year, like we're playing against here. You'll learn really quick. And I think this league is going to get people up to speed really quick. There are no blowouts. If you don't earn them, like you have to go earn it. You just can't turn over the ball and have 10 penalties and go blow out Vanderbilt. It's just not going to happen. It also comes out of respect in the opponent. Like, probably did not have a good game because we respected poverty. We planned and prepared to beat him and take away his weaknesses and put pressure. Like, that is why we won this game. That is why defense played well enough is because we respected poverty. If our defense showed up with the same energy just generally towards Vanderbilt, that seems like we have, we should blow them out. They were the flossed. So respect is the foundation of all this. And a lot of this hadn't been put in the context, but then you've got to, you have to understand what goes into one of these games. And yeah, we play like crap, but we did what we needed to do. And also the number 25 Vanderbilt. We're like new to the SEC. We're already like their bottom feeder. It's like, guys, it's our first year. We don't like Vandy. How are you going to lose to me? It's like, we don't know Vandy guys. It's like how we're going with Kansas, you know, and then Kansas got good too on us. Does the offensive struggles over the last three weeks change houseful season outlook? I'm a bit concerned about winning out. Yeah, I mean, yeah, it's, yeah, if the offense keeps going like that, you're going to drop one. I'm not going to tell you, we're going to lose one guaranteed, but we're not guaranteed to win them all if we don't clean it up on these penalties. I thought our biggest issue with our offense has been our run game. We actually ran okay. When you get the penalties and everything else that puts you behind the change, you're just not even running your offense anymore. You don't have a play for second and 20, second to 16, like there's a snow, right? There's not play calls for that kind of stuff. And then you get into this field position game and then it just, you know, that's a whole another story, but I'm with you. We do need to clean up. If we can continue to have a run game to clean up everything else, you know, we can stay on rhythm and stay ahead of the chains and actually put some games together. And that's really what we're missing. It's a good question, Justin. Big picture, we're going to the buy, so we get through a little reflection. Yes, defense is better than I expected. And the offense is worse than I expected. Does it affect my season outlook? Yeah, because offense drew, I'm glad we're separate. You can't do anything to me for saying this offense is more important. It is. Oh, okay. All right. Everyone's good at defense. The game zero to zero. Yeah, someone has to go over the rules of the game favor. Yeah, as you're a defender, you know, it's more important. You're like, guys, we can't win the game. We can only stop there for the scoring. I do. I got there. That was the OU method where OU was literally like, guys, we have to score 14. We got some literal lists in the chat like defense can actually score. Yeah. Yes, we know that. But yeah, the bulk of your points will be scored by your after we score by the offense. Yeah. But yeah, it does change outlook. And it's, we get that level of penalties, which we've had issues with those penalties early, not to that scale, but we've had the issues with like cam jumping off and versus Michigan, right? Like there's these kinds of things you can trace back. We haven't been great with penalties. So that's kind of seems like a feature currently, not a bug for whatever reason. And then now that it looks like our wide receivers are kind of getting taken more out of it. It doesn't feel great. You know, everybody was louding. Quins like completion streak. But it was soon as it was time to like really quarterback, we had a lot of trouble. So that's the thing. The lack of clutch ability, like when it counts to give us that drive, that's concerning to me. We're, we're, we're built, we need both of our, we'll call them virtuous circles on both sides of the ball, operating to play complimentary football. Because we know when we run the ball well, we throw the ball well, we move the ball, we get in the rhythm with scoring points, we get ahead. And we're just trying to make the defense playing, playing well, we tighten our brains and everything kind of cycles. And we're, we're just expanding a lead as the game goes on as opposed to reaching in kindness kind of stay ahead. Well, and that's a cut to the chase on this, but what have we, what have we done all year on defense and what have we done particularly the last two weeks prevented explosive plays from their opposing offense and turn the ball over. Like, that's the whole test. That's the gig, man. And if your offense, by the way, can go out and score points. If you're preventing explosives and turning the other offense over, that becomes a blowout. Because the other offense has to press, they get predictable. And our number one pass, defense of the nation is able to anticipate, right? And, and, you know, that's the frustrating thing for me with, with Drew saying that because we're playing in a certain style on defense that's really well suited for our offense. If they will go score points, we will blow people off the field. Easy. To find a Penn Play destination near you, visit PennPlay.com. Score big this football season.

Oh, no, no, I didn't want opposing teams to get behind and stop passing on us. They just grow and I'd be like Terrence Brooks is going to blow this coverage up. We actually have the defense we need this year. We got a bunch of brains back there. We got a bunch of nerds. They watch film. Yeah, we do. That's the thing. We have athletes, NFL athletes, but smart players too, man. If you combine those two things, oof. We got to figure this out. We can't waste this defense last year. Everyone thought last year's defense was the defense. This is the defense we can't waste. I don't know what you do, man. This is what I'm having to start analyzing is who had the fastest downhill secondary because we throw that many screens that I'm having to evaluate the clothing speed of secondary. That matters. Yeah, you know, it's like, do your 240 pound freaky linebackers like Georgia run a four or five. Right? Yeah. Like that becomes relevant because a check down against against Oklahoma State goes for 17. Right. Exactly. And it gets Georgia goes for two and your back gets hit real hard. Yeah. That's the other part of football. We get all into X's and O's like, you know, the Ravens, I used to love when they play the Patriots. And, you know, the Patriots got the best of them more often than not. But when they didn't, the Ravens game plan was, oh, you have a precision passing game. We're going to hang back here and we're going to knock some of your players unconscious and see if you still want to keep playing. Yep. And sometimes some years the Patriots are like, no, we don't. We don't want to keep like this is not fun. So football too. So yeah, I don't even know, like if you're sorry, like, because I charted the first half live. And it was literally screen screen screen, screen, check down, check down screen, screen, check down. And so it's like, I don't even know. But it was it was moving the ball. If we didn't have the penalties and the turnovers, we would have had 28 points on the board at half. Yeah, but it's like, but could we. I would like to move the ball differently. I would like to move the ball like with some interior passing. I would like it to not only be screaming, you know. Yeah. Because you check it. You check it down to blue and he fakes out a linebacker and we get 19 and Connor's like kicking rocks. He's like, ah, it's like, can we get, can we get 19? Like, give me a seam to more. Give me 19 that way, you know. Connor likes air yards. I do like that. We have to take advantage of what people are letting us do. That's what scares me right because you face a Georgia and that doesn't exist anymore. Now you're passing him doesn't exist. So it's like, it's that part that I think it's anticipatory that it bothers me. When it goes for 10 versus Vandy, I'm like, great. I just know that there's the monster waiting down down the road that will not let us get away with that. I think that's a thing for us too. I feel like on the opposite side of things, we basically, we didn't give Vanderbilt a chance to even run their option. We just didn't know poverty is keeping it. And we're just going to hit them. Yeah. Like don't even let them get to the edge. Let's just let them keep it. Like we dictated what they did and option for the most part of their game. Yeah, we put option well, man. That was the whole key to the game. And that's what I was super happy with, man. The teams are doing that to us. I feel like we're getting more and more of that is, hey, they almost want us to throw it out to space. If nothing else. One question. If you could pick one Texas player from the past 10 years and put them on this team, who it'd be because I was already going to say cold. Give me a run of 10 years. Give me a running back. I don't know Jonathan Brooks. I don't know if it's the right. Give me B. Sean Robinson on checkdowns. Give me B. Sean Robinson because all were throwing his screens, baby. And I need the act. Give me a dog. That's a great. That's a great question for the fan. Thanks for all your generous. That is a really good, a good question because it's why you need 10 years. That was smart. Yeah, yeah, because I'm automatically looking for quarterbacks. I know. I know. I know. Michael Dixon. Michael Dixon. Dixon is. Oh, the awesome. That's a, yeah, it's a ball game. Bear of the game. Was that, who's that against? He was, is that Georgia? No, no, no. We put it like 20 times and he just, Andy and Georgia's punters have been making me jealous. I was just watching every once and just being like, man, that looks fun. Well, I will say this. Georgia's had hang time and distance. This guy just kicked distant long drive, long drive. And he even lured Silas Bolden into a fair catch, which is amazing. Yeah. He mesmerized him. Yeah. I was scared for a second. That wasn't a fair catch whenever he did it. But I honestly, I would go B. Sean just, we need the running back and the, his ability for yak and screens matters. So I go B. Sean, I was really known on the defense that I would care to replace right now. Hey, fantasy life. We don't care whether they're top five squad right now. By the way, we just want them to win games and be a five C. And if they win, they win. It doesn't matter. Yeah, we'd like to be a top top five squad at the end of the year. Yeah. So we're figuring that out, but you just, I would like to do it all year and at the end of the year. So I would like to be number five the whole time. I want to be good the whole time. Give me Sam. Just Sam, but Sam would start could be. That would be in a hilarious offense, dude. Start being like, stop running. Well, Sam, Sam throws it a little better than we remember because a lot of Sam could go downfield. Carrying the ball 18 times a game does wear on your shoulder and your arm turns out quarterback power does tend to wear tax on your ability to throw the ball. So. Yeah. Murphy. Oh, Byron Murphy. I thought it was Malik Murphy has about to lose it. Yeah. No, Byron. Good luck to Malik at Duke, but that game, that team is winning games with smoke and mirrors. Holy cow. Yeah. I only watched like a little bit of Duke. Let's just say they are defensively driven. Yeah. Yes. Vince. They said within 10 years, are we all? Ten years, man. Yeah, we are. Would have gone to culture events. We would have taken Kelson if we could do. That's true. We can go back. He said to help this team. Well, yeah, you're going to think the linebacker play with LaFalle. Have you got a chance to like watch LaFalle specifically? I know I'm bad about watching. It's been a weird few weeks and it's really start with me from Mississippi State. Mississippi State was the first game. I was like, what? What are we doing here? But then we brought in LaFalle against OU and I felt much better about it. In Georgia game happen. You know, so. I mean, we did obviously everything we needed to do today. LaFalle makes plays. Anthony Hill racks up stats regardless, but. I'm still okay with our run defense. Like, I can't complain about, you know, as long as we're preventing explosives, I'm okay. We have to, you know, if teams get first down, fine, you know, they get it first down, but just like continuing to make teams of marks down the field. Stay behind the chains and just kind of, I mean, we're doing everything we do from a linebacker perspective. Are we play making at linebacker in the run game? No. Not in the way, not between the tackles, you know, on the edges in certain cases, but I can't complain about it. I still know how much of this defense is going to create play making from that position outside of the passing game and just getting your hands on balls or patch rushing. I love our chat. Yeah, you know what, it's also just a vestige of old school football and I still have it. Someone can run power double tight for seven yards down your throat. And you're like, that is unacceptable. This is unmanly. And they hit a 60 yard play action. And you're like, Oh, they tricked us. And also situationally, those things really hurt you. And one of those things didn't hurt at all. You're fine. There is so much machismo wrapped into stopping the run that it's like, we're not talking about stopping the run. We're talking about like our masculinity has been tested when people run against us. It's hilarious. But also situationally, we can stop the run when we have to. Yeah, you know, trying to get ready. Yeah, so it's like, I'm okay, man, with that is having a past defense is the coolest. Remember how frustrating it was those shut teams down and they would just throw 15 yards and they'd get back into games that way. Hey, Drew, did you, did you, the penalty that Vandy got on their little trick, fourth down conversion. Did you know that was a thing. I didn't know that was a thing. Well, I knew it was a thing, but I hadn't seen it and forever. I forgot it was a thing. So when the play happened, I didn't even think anything of it. It wasn't until it was called. I was like, Oh damn, they actually called it. I mean, I'm fine with it. Like, it's clearly illegal when you got like an H back doing it, like with clear motion, but to just be the wide receiver doing a play and your feet are firmly planted in the ground. And you're acting like, yeah, like, that's not where I was like, that would take the tag. So that was the difference. I think that was the difference there. Because I feel like we've seen it, but they don't call it just in a literal sense, but in that case they did. This is how smart they are. This is when I was like, man, this offense is creative because of what they did there. That was a trick play on a trick play. They double tricked us. So they would do the things they double tricked us. They, so like, towers originally earlier in the season, you would see it probably would look confused and towers would walk up right under center and they would do basically a QB sneak with a tight end. Well, you saw our defense was on it immediately. And then they said, OK, no, we're actually going to hand it off. So it was a trick on top of a trick. And they made sure our defense responded, you'll watch. That's how creative they are that they had a layered trick play. Drew, it was a Russian nesting doll. See, that is exactly. You open one doll and you're like, is this just a doll? No, there's another doll. It's not that good inside the last doll is a rubber snake that shoots out. Yeah. But that's like it showed like they showed it on tape. It showed our intelligence to stop it and their intelligence to anticipate our intelligence to then switch it. There's like, this is the wine exchange at Princess Bride. Yes, you think that I think because you know I'm smart that I would switch. There was actually, I know that you know. There's some chest there that was actually interesting. That was. I was afraid I got to, because you know they see it. So the players live. You're not thinking about the play they're going to make off of the plate because it can go anywhere. Right. So you just have to dial into what your responsibility is. Especially, I mean, it's really tough. It's for DVs or linebackers or anyone with a man assignment or someone who has a man to cover. It's just your eye discipline and making sure if a guy slips down and pops back up or if a guy, you know, they just there's so many different ways to do it. But yeah, good for them. I mean that they found the play, but always goes back to you cannot let plays like that turn into explosive game changing plays. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, that was the. You can't let it kill you because then they only have like maybe two of those tops for the game, but it was it was fun watching that. Farewell Vanderbilt. You guys were actually a lot of fun to analyze. That was probably my favorite team that we've done a breakdown of that. They were enjoyable. Yeah, I'm starting analyzing Florida because it's going to be like they're talented and stupid. Exactly. And if they don't play stupid, this is going to be a tough game. And if they play stupid, we could blow them out. Exactly. I think we are worried about blue turning the ball where someone said, yeah, it feels like we're not letting Jaden blue play enough. Jaden's in the doghouse still from that fumble, but he quietly with no rushes, but he quietly did his job versus Georgia. And I thought he had a good night tonight too. So maybe he's working back into good graces. Yeah, he might have missed a big pass block. And that's about it. I thought I think he's working his way back. He's in the circle of trust. Yeah. Yeah, play a good game today. All right, guys. Listen, we want all backs to play good games. We don't want to see Jaden blue or everybody needs to ball out. We can't have just one back doing their job and playing hard and running hard and doing their job. So yeah, Jaden blue. Thank you. We need both of those guys to be doing the same thing and giving us chances because for a while there, it was just check down Jaden, but he ran really well today. No, he did. Any other clutch run. All right, guys, it's time for everyone to go hate watch LSU and A&M. It's about to be the half fans. Thank you guys for hanging out. I know you guys are not excited but a wins a win. We'll focus on the by week. We're heading in the by week. Whatever Drew says to get to pick us up and let us not be so disastrous other takes, but still a win guys. I know we got a lot to work on. Hopefully we can solve some things in the by week. Drew sucks. I was going to say it sucks, but we can be positive. I guess Paul Drew. Thank you guys fans.
