We got a promo code going right now one dollar for only seven days And you get 50% off the first year no promo code So just go sign up and it should hook you up. This is a sale that we're running specifically for Georgia So take advantage of that. It's a unique one We don't normally have this this style of promo and then on today's show guys quick thoughts on Red River We'll get some shot and Freud in and then we're gonna break down the Georgia offense Georgia defense opponent games of interest That's how we do it on Tuesday. So you should know the drill Let us begin Paul Saturday is pretty cool. What'd you think Saturday was really cool beaten OU by 31 and Morning Drew Driving our enemies before us hearing the lamentations of their women That is what is good in life and Conan was right Conner at least in the movie version. So yeah, I thought it was amazing and You know we didn't even play that well in the first quarter certainly on offense certainly when yours and Still one by 31. So I think oh you's going through some feelings right now that Texas fans have gone through in years past and I think they're gonna be stuck in those feelings for a while and I think Texas is gonna be experiencing very different Feelings the remainder of this year and then the coming years. So pretty exciting nice little nice little program diagnostic But you know I think we talked about the idea that the Texas OU game is sort of this mid-season program Diagnostic it's going in for a checkup like where are we? No, I think the keyword there is program The team checkup might be coming this Saturday Yeah, meaning Hey, like how good are we? and you know, what's this gonna look like and I think George is coming in it's a it's a must-win game for them I mean, this is this is a huge You know game for them to if they want to go play with the SEC title at least Or certainly remain in the playoff picture because they've got other tough games ahead of them in their schedule and We do as well Vanderbilt looms Conner Vanderbilt looms They actually do you called it Paul. You're the one that brought that quarterback to our attention in the off-season You know an index co-quarter back. No, he's good. Trust me. All right, Paul whatever Okay, yeah, all right. We'll see how he does it. We'll see how he does it Vanderbilt Paul But yeah, he did good Oh, you still currently is in a state of sucking It is a it's 9.33 a.m. So we've proven yeah, that was Like you said this stuff. I've heard their fans say and their team say we've been through that And so that's kind of the loser talk when you're I mean you're in year three talking about I'm hearing their Respected media guys being like we have to start playing young guys and get ready for next year It's like y'all are in year three, man And you guys are acting like this is a rebuild like this is a come on man This is not what you guys signed up for well the other part of the coat is they're like look We have an elite defense The the the Ray Lewis Baltimore Ravens are jealous of our elite elite elite defense. We just need to fix the offense. It's like hey Just FYI your defense is not elite. It's not elite and I was saying that last week. It's not elite before the game They are even like but you know, they're really really good and it's like they're good That's about it. That doesn't need any more adjectives or modifiers That basically if you can block them up you can do whatever you want and if you go back and rewatch the game Not that we're gonna do a huge. Oh you discussion here, but if you go back and rewatch the game Texas Left 14 points and probably about 150 yards out on the field just with misthrows to open guys so You know, I I diagrammed and I broke down one of the plays the wingo slant that went for 44 on inside Texas If you guys aren't members go join and I basically show you how They're desire to have looks Pre-snap that they think are gonna confuse you and do a bad throw actually made them into a fundamentally bad defense on that play and It happened a dozen more times in that game and Texas took advantage One of those times on outside zone where Trey Wisener housed it so Oh using a little bit of desperation mode and I think Venables is going to get even more into Depressing on defense because he feels like he needs to make something happen to win That may work against South Carolina this Saturday because they don't have a very Sharp offense But when they encounter offenses that scout them up and can execute with some offensive line It's experienced and quarterback experience. It's gonna be real ugly and Someone's gonna hit those throws that we missed and it's not gonna be 34 to 3 so Yeah, and there Venables of subsets like you said of making the right call and confusing and a bit of Brent Venables defense That their players aren't lined up and their safeties are looking for the call and we're snapping the ball multiple times You know and so that's kind of even like throw away the signal stealing portion the week use him of He's trying to be too perfect with the call because they're trying to signal in to other signals And it's taking them too long and that time they're not able to do any cool stuff. So That's the tricky part man that they're not getting lined up either. So They're gonna be in trouble for a while. It's not only a defense their excuse. I've heard to man Man, we we did great in their first quarter. Oh, all right. There's four quarters of football So you can keep talking about your defense did great for one fourth of the game and then other the other cope is They were on the field too much. They average six they average 68 plays a game versus Texas They played 62 plays which is gonna say they they were barely on the field and they had time of possession So it's like it's that too So they're just they're totally full in nonsense and all they can hang on to is that we have an elite defense or an elite defensive line You have an elite defensive line when you play too late. You don't have an elite defensive line when you play Texas And that's the difference right now All right Let's see Last thing on that note I think Texas being methodical plays into our hands. We need to sustain drives and keep our defense rested this game Yeah, so let's talk Georgia Let's get the old dogs thrown up real quick. Let me share this with y'all All righty The handy dandy stats everybody All right, so first things first for before we begin this exercise chat Get rid of all preconceived notions of what Georgia football is from 2021 and 2022 That's only gonna make you miss you valve them. They're a really good team They're gonna be an absolute problem for Texas, but it's not 2021 and 22 Georgia It's just get that out of your heads Agreed. Yeah, so let's just look at them for what they are a really good football team All right offense most important thing and then I'll ask you this on Paul is this our first actual test Defensively against a real offense real quarterback. Yeah, this is our first real quarterback He's he's gonna play in the NFL. So whatever round you think he's or where he's getting drafted in that round That's great, but Carson Beck's an NFL quarterback They've got and guys who will play in the NFL in their receiver core. They've got an offensive line It's similar to ours and that they're very good at pass blocking Not always been great at run blocking this year or at least dominant They've got a couple tight ends. We're gonna play in the NFL So yeah, this is the most talented offense in total And it's the first one we're gonna play where we're facing a pretty clear Experienced NFL quarterback and that's gonna be a challenge. So that's gonna present some new Some new problems for us may even present some opportunities though. That'll be that'll be interesting In a fully utilized offense, right? They throw to the tight ends. They throw outside. They throw to the slot They throw to the running bag. So it's like they're utilizing all their weapons as well Do I think a slowcase? Yeah, they're yeah. They're so plays for game 72nd in the country. Yeah, very deliberate And you know the interesting thing if you look at these numbers, there's an interesting divorce If you if you look at enough of these stats and you know over the years, they're averaging 30 and a half points per game Yet they're averaging 443 yards per game at six and a half yards a pop. So Six and a half yards a pop at four forty three is is good offense Their points per game is suppressed. So I Can just look at raw counting stats here and know that they're not being Efficient enough in the red red zone as Kirby Smart calls it the red area Connor. Yeah. What is it? Why did it Sarkin? Is that that's gonna be a saving thing? I guess? I think it's a sexual thing Okay. Yeah, it's their kinks. Yeah Okay, yeah, they're they're not getting they're not converting the way you think so typically when you see 443 yards a game six and a half yards of play your yard your points per game are in like 33 34 points per game. So looks to me like this is an offense that's leaving points out on the field and that's kind of confirmed by my eyeballs When I watch them play You know when they're even playing an Auburn. You're like the score should be bigger here I don't know what's what's going on and you made the comparison to Texas last year. I Kind of felt that way about our offense last year. You kind of move up and down the field a lot But we were kicking field goals or not converting When it mattered and sort of leaving they're very hot cold. Yeah, they run hot and they run cold and They demonstrate that look they played arguably two of the best haves in college football this year the second half against Clemson and The second half against Alabama But the fact that it's in two different games and they've already played six games and we're talking about two haves Kind of gives you some idea the hot cold nature of what's going on because I mean it gets Clemson I think it was six to nothing at halftime something like that Yeah, and then they just poured it on and turns out Clemson's pretty good at least and then uh against Bama You know depends on you want to interpret it. They were getting destroyed, right? Yeah, well They didn't get destroyed in the second half. They were leading that game with there after being down with what? 42nds left or a minute left or something and You know so you can you can spin that whichever way you prefer, but they they have run absolutely hot cold Not a consistent football team and uh, I don't know. I gotta think maybe the running game is a part of that Yeah, that's a good lead in Paul. What a pro. Thank you. Yeah There and like you'll see Kentucky right where nothing happened what I think is important about back though You got to say he had there's heart there, right? They come back versus Alabama like they closed games now He didn't win the game versus Alabama, but in 99% of situations. He won the game. She's giving the ball to Ryan Williams He does some freaky stuff, but That's important too. They're like they run hot and cold, but they do finish and that's gonna be key. All right rushing offense This is what's interesting. So Uh, they bring in Etienne from Florida. They also have another back freshman back named Frazier He's probably my favorite back in SEC. He runs like a psychopath, dude Like he runs just full speed. I say in the breakdown. It's like he's rescuing a family from a fire He just like runs straight into the he does not wait at all if he could just I would tell him literally I'd only run counter with him or tell him to take a breath because he just runs right into the action But then my point is they have two good backs Um, and I think they're ranked second and fourth in the SEC on pff But it doesn't matter. They're still not an elite rushing offense Um, and that's what's interesting. So good backs just not maximizing here, right? But also I think this is the big thing bobo They're a passing team now dude. Everyone has this concept of Georgia as this defense and a running team No, man. And I think because bobo is not focusing on it in practice as much. They're not as good at it because look at this 43 Rushing rate that's 113th in the country You know, they're not running the ball. This is this is a passing offense So comparatively that's still pretty good at 65th in the nation yards per rush, right? Yeah, how much is this game script? Like you're behind or you're not playing well and you just start throwing the ball. You're not patient enough to run Yeah, so like I mean, they're behind an Alabama. Of course, right? Um Kentucky they're like that's a super boring game, but they're not super far behind Um, so they can run in that game. Auburn they could run Missed to state they could absolutely run. I guess maybe they just get maybe they get impatient Yeah, they're just like I think they're just for whatever reason Um, they're passing and I even looked at last year. They ran a lot more. So I don't know what's going on there, but It's even last year Georgia threw for 300 a game Yeah, people thought of them as like, well, they run the ball and play defense. It's like, not really Do you are you watching their games? So yeah, but now they're I mean 113th in the nation for running, which is crazy Yeah, that's wild So they're just swinging it around but also keep in mind they're throwing a ton but like 25% of those throws are screens So they're doing the classic like well, it's technically the run game. No, it's not If it goes to receivers have Um, but they're they're doing all right here, right? Like slightly above average. They're just not a dominant uh rushing team Nope Let's see It's interesting offensive line yards offensive line not doing a great job There and you will see in a second their offensive line is absolutely awesome in past blocking Um, so that might be the thing And fairly explosive right 50th in the country. So they can bring and that makes sense. You right you watch Etn Etn's outside runner Um, he's quick man. He can accelerate and then frager who we're talking about here And a frager has stood is the perfect complement to etn because etm can run all your outside stuff and frager will run it right up the God Yeah, etn's a guy texas really has to circle particularly in the passing game. Yeah, just More little passes on the run, which are almost simulated runs, right or they serve the purpose of a run. Yeah, and Etn, I mean, he's explosive. I remember him at florida really well and that was a big addition for them Yeah, and what's weird this year this why it's so strange because they're two really good backs Um, he's he's bottom half and breakaway percentage. So he's not like busting these long runs. It's weird like it doesn't make sense normally, you know, like These numbers are just kind of all over the place and what's interesting if you watch the games Like once you go through all of them and then you listen to their media and stuff too They said like this team is like this weird leaky pipe like as soon as you tape one side up It springs a leak over here. So it's like one game. It's past protection is the issue They fixed that now the receivers can't get separation. They fixed that now the running game is getting shut down So it's like it's just very this is a weird team this year And that's why like trying to call this game is going to be really tough even for Georgia fans They're like we don't know what we're gonna get versus next It's weird. You'll you'll see it Just became a member of inside Texas. Good stuff, man Use those promos guys. They're good deals All right passing offense cars and back real deal But so last year he was like first in the scc completion percentage Um yards per sim tie up there all that stuff this year Not the case about average is about sixth in those things So not elite right now statistically Um has taken a step back also forcing a lot, right? So he throws a lot. So he's gonna throw high picks We're not mad at him there, but his turnover where they play is high Um and paul you've seen some tape you'll see more as you watch him more he makes some arrogant throws um that either Hopefully they're just arrogant or else it's just a dumb. It's a dumb throw Um, so he'll put the ball in danger a little bit too But also when you're being asked to sling it like that you kind of have to but good passing offense Definitely by a mile the best r defenses face So they're high in the country 22nd and passing Trying to pass 24th and yards per pass good there 18 yards per game if y'all care about that And they're consistent. Well, it's weird because they're not consistent They're consistent and then not consistent to where it averages out to like a mid tier consistent. Does that make sense? No, yeah, you know what i'm saying Yeah, that's that's the sometimes the problem with a mean, right? Yeah, uh, it you know You can deal adage if you can drown in nine inches of water. Yeah, uh, it's It's uh, yeah, that's the problem with means and teasing out that kind of stuff because it's creating It's the old greg davis. I put up three against ou, but I put up 57 against north texas So we're averaging 30 a game Right. No problem in the office. Yeah. Yeah, and that's what you got to watch for because like the You know bed can do all of that stuff. But like some halves they're just they can't do anything And then some halves they look like the best passing offense in the country. It's weird Yep, and bed has missed some throws We're also going to complete some high level throws big time throws. Absolutely. Yeah back out of the NFL arm There's no question. I mean he can make some absolute dimes um, it's just Putting it at risk is where texas opportunity is but he's going to make some throws Now this is the interesting part that curby's been on boba's been on they've even started introducing new ride receivers to this Uh scheme to try to fix this uh, they're passing exposivity is low So what they've done now is they've brought in Anthony evans Let me find him. There he is. Number five. He's their returner on kick and punch. He's a young guy though Uh sophomore so they've started introducing him on like jet motions and stuff. They can slip him deep Um, he has a low amount of targets, but they used him a lot miss city state And then on the other side of that they've also started introducing london hunt freeze to line up the vander belt Wide out. Yeah, yeah, 10 six speed 100 meter And so they started introducing him and that's because they have this core group of their three wide receivers That are really good. They get a lot of targets and they're productive for them But they're just they're for whatever reason not able to land the explosives with them So they start with those guys, but she probably talked about them. Arian smith Has been their Sort of most prolific receiver at least down the field. Yep Uh, dominic love it is the transfer from mazuri plays in the slot Um, he's he's good most targeted l Is sort of their big body Uh sort of post you up physical receiver former running back former running back. He's not now he's not like six five, but he's like two 10 two 15 And he's physical and you know, he'll take the ball like he'll snatch the ball out of your out of your hands, right? And then kobe young is uh, not on on the team or anymore He's serving a suspension after a domestic violence incident rah-rah thomas I was gonna say after losing rah-rah thomas for family violence earlier for the same thing. So yeah, not not good But people honestly are overstating those losses Those guys were not In the top three of their receiving core Uh, yeah, the only one of those Theoretically was going to open up the field, right? He was he's a big tall super fast guy But you know, say they lost the only thing they kind of lost there was size at six three 215 Yeah, but you know in total georgons got a good receiving core And you'll sometimes hear georgia bulldog fans talk down on them a little bit But I think that has to do with other issues. I think in their broader offense, maybe at the coordinator level Yeah All right, y'all before we keep going quick word from our sponsor Hi, I want to tell you about laura baker If you're looking for a new home in the 512 or even at this point Let's face it 737 area code. There's only one number to call that's laura baker at 512 4 0 505 0 5 as a member of the elite and the allen team with keloland's laura has helped longhorns find the home of their dreams In central texas just ask our resident sex symbol Ian boyd who moved all the way from michigan to texas with laura's help laura can help you find what you're looking for in the 512 The 737 or even parts of the 254 and the 210 just you know what give her a call at 512 4 0 5 0 5 her email is in the description as well as the rest of her contact details. She's a friend give her a call Yeah, so the georgia wide receiver room is very interesting because like they're top three guys most targeted which are bell smith Love it. Um, they're solid receivers, but it's not a little beat receiving core And so that's just kind of what it is Good not great now introducing humphries and anthony evans that's going to give you more fear as a defense to get back And area smith like you said a huge deep threat for them But he's not catching those deep balls and he's has the third highest drop rate in the sec 21 So that's not good. You don't want your drop rate over 10 You don't want it over five, but you definitely don't want it over 10. Yeah, so here's a big problem there Um, so but watch out for a love it Not super exciting, but most targeted and you'll see like late in the game if they have any gotta have it drives Love it's love. It's gonna make the catch So he's an important player to keep an eye on If they get behind or something like that and then do you want to talk about their tight end room? I don't even have your rosik on here. They're barely even playing that guy um But yeah, that's really weird the stamper transfer Urosik was supposed to be a down the field, you know, Contested catch winner. We were all bummed when we didn't get him. Yeah, and uh, He's been buried on the depth chart there. I have a feeling maybe he doesn't block And maybe that's what's going on there But yeah, a lot of oscar delp Yeah, so Lost and lucky actually leads them with targets Six before 240 sophomore, but Paul's right keen enough oscar delp oscar delp was supposed to be the next coming of rock bowers, right Um at six foot five two forty five jr Just hasn't just hasn't been the case Um and lost and lucky is actually the more productive of the tight ends But they've got like some type of weird six foot five lab of white tight ends It's just like they're just printing them man Bowers your rossik lucky delp. We got to get gunner helman there man. They're like a big 10 team Yeah, they're just printing these like it's very specific type of tie-down um, but Definitely definitely chat not we're not worried about Brock bowers level ability So we'll see It's the threat of the deep ball that'll help create space for other things use speed just to run the corner back off to tire them out George's offensive scheme does not highlight their receiver strength. Not sure bobo is around next year Yeah Yeah, I don't I don't know I don't really know I mean, I know if you don't score the fans are upset at your offensive coordinator at some level or score enough But there is that divorce between their production between the 20s and then their points scored and you know When you've seen that at texas you could you understood what was happening on the field that was causing that You're like last year like well, we're not good in the red zone like we're no which we're instead of sixes We're getting threes But with georgia. I haven't watched every game every moment and so it's not as clear to me what's going on But there's some sort of inefficiency When they get down in the red zone it seems like defenses are Playing georgia to keep the ball in front of them And then they sort of tighten up in the red zone and georgia is not converting or it can feel goals So i'm not sure what's going on It's just they're hot and cold so like if they're in a hot moment They're going to go down and score in the red zone. They're cold mode. They're not the biggest difference last year They were number one in the country in third downs this year. They're 76 Wow So that's what it is. That's what's making the market system. Yeah, right? And then yeah, they're under 40 on third down conversions. That's not good Yeah, so that's what's that's what's quote unquote the inconsistent we're talking about It's really just going from first in the country on third downs to 76 in the country on third downs Um, it used to work and normally right you would say well that means they're not executing on first and second But that's not true early downs EPA for them is 25th in the country So that's even weirder too. That's what i'm telling you these numbers are weird like georgia is a weird team So they have 10 field goal attempts on the season and they've hit nine so High but that's not crazy. It's not inordinate. Yeah, so interesting But maybe also two interceptions thrown per game 84th in the country Fumbles per game 83rd in the country Yeah, so those were numbers to get you counter. Yep. We're doing it a lot too frankly and we needed to show um So But yeah passing explosivity. That's the big that's the marching orders right you hear everybody talking about this week We got to get more explosive passes versus texas, blah, blah, blah So be aware of that that they already take a lot of deep shots like the third most in the sec And then now they want even more deep shots. So just be aware that they're going to try to like Basically do the washington strategy Against us Except they're not going to have 90 NFL receivers to do it with Hey, let's let's talk about something that Probably doesn't get enough attention, but it's it's real In that Georgia Even in some of their dominant teams which were clearly dominant They didn't really play many contested road games Yeah And part of that was because they were hanging out in the sec east which was a good place to be Part of it was that just how their sec west slate fell Like during that time period who they'd get and wear And then they they played big games at neutrals You know like Clemson which neutral we're we're playing in atlanta, right? Right It's like saying that you know Dallas is a neutral for for texas against You know pen state and even SEC championships. That's right. So I think that that's probably an underexplored aspect of georgia, which is It's interesting that they go on the road to tuscaloosa, alabama has this great environment And they're a little bit overwhelmed at the beginning of the game And not just obviously calendibor's game plan and mill roe had something to do with that Alabama defense had some stuff for him No, and then georgia, you know had the composure of the rally But it is interesting and notable That this is the first season where they've got multiple tough SEC road tests At texas at alabama at old miss It's going to be very interesting to see like how they respond because I expect texas to have a really raucous crowd. I think it's going to be nuts And the night game is going to help. I think it's going to be crazy F1 in town So georgia fans not exactly going to be able to secure a lot of you know cheap hotel rooms To try to come in or get by scalp tickets So I think it's going to be a crazy crowd. I think it's going to be a crazy environment And I think the crowd can play a pretty big role in this game in lifting texas But also suppressing georgia and their ability to communicate Yeah, that and that is a factor and I heard their camp too Say they're like we're glad that we got the night game versus bama You know to see that because they hadn't had a lot of these reps They think two things are true, right? Georgia historically has had some pretty easy runs where they kind of just have to play one game a year at the end And two they're elite, right? So I think it's both um, but also it's It's the criticism of michigan last year They haven't played anyone they suck and then you're like, yeah, but i'm also watching their defense Just run around and I can tell that these guys are all nfl dudes. So Look out and then they got in the playoff and and got it done. But yeah, you can be elite and also untested Right, that's why i'm saying people don't get there's two things can be true And that's kind of the allegations texas are receiving right now and we'll get to figure it out Yeah, but yeah biggest biggest key here for the offense 76 in the country on third down oddly first in the country on fourth Down like it's so these numbers are weird dude Yeah, they've converted every fourth down they've gone for yeah, that's wild and it means they're just probably picking their spots Really well there on like short yardage But we'll have to see and then like we said a lot of interceptions thrown per game a lot of fumbles per game So sketchy right All right, you're ready to move to that vaunted and georgia defense Yeah, let's do it All right, I tricked you guys. They're not vaunted anymore Oh Still really good though so 20 points per game 20 second yards per play 67th interesting right For georgia defense Uh, but still able to hold people kind of down to down defensive points for drive 39th Really good not crazy success rate Above average explosiveness they can I mean you can hit a few shots on them if you watch the Mississippi state game You can absolutely had a couple deep shots on them Um, and so you'll see that pretty quickly and then what's the most fascinating part about this defense Is uh, they can't get any mayhem or havoc's going so Kind of jump ahead here, but i'll show you because it's important 85th and sex per game, 81st and interceptions and 90th and fumbles That's weird very weird Um, because they still got dudes it's georgia, baby, but they're not like the concrete like turnover margin stuff They're not doing it. It's weird It's very weird All right, so defensive rushing We michigan and oklahoma are both better defensive rushing teams than georgia Pretty wild man. Yeah And so that's that's the big difference right that there georgia was always like not last year But the previous you like five years before that they were always top three if not number one Um in defensive rushing. So this is a big difference for them So 29th and opponent rush attempts per game pretty good. They're not seeing it a ton opponent yards per rush 3.9. It's good. It's not great Success rate 33rd good not great D lines doing pretty well against them, but what's interesting is like the third and fourth downs dirty yards got to have it Um, they're not doing great So 75th in the nation, which kind of means this is like saying you can push around the georgia defensive line when you have to which is It's also weird But they're not letting you break out for huge rushing place not that we generally do at texas that I mean I think wisener had a couple finally But if we were an explosive rushing team which were not they would be able to put a cap on it But what do you think about that man? Georgia rushing Yeah, that's interesting. Uh, they they showed that a little bit last year, right? Yep, but and I think there's been some injuries on their d line, but yeah, they don't have jail and carter lined up in there anymore And uh, you've seen the fall off you know, not just similar from the fall off that texas had from murphy and sweat To this year, right and you can you can move the ball a little bit on texas running though It's not just this concrete wall that you're basically the idiot if you're running the ball into texas last year Um, I I would pray last year that Teams are like we've got to establish the run and I my hope was that they'd stick with that for three quarters so we could get enough of a lead so that when they started throwing and inevitably we started busting coverages that We can hold on so we still hold on but Yeah, we've changed the face of that defense in that regard. Uh, yeah, I think it's really interesting I I wonder how much of this is related philosophically to their defense in the passing game because Kirby smart philosophically says I think you should stop the run with the least number of guys possible Yeah, so you can defend the pass so you can defend the pass because In my estimation, that's the way defenses give up More touchdown single plays explosives things like that that really hurt you Yep, and uh he and he quick house key are somewhat similar in that philosophy, right Kirby can take it to an extreme, you know, I've seen him play a light box against teams that don't run very well And he's just like yeah, you know try to run on us. We don't care Um, you're just not going to hit any big big balls but They're passing defense has leaked And it's leaked some big plays. So it's going to be interesting Yeah The bama game skewed a lot of those d stats. Yeah, but also them playing scs fcs teams also skewed it positively Yeah, they play tag as well. Let's yeah, let's talk about both sides of skewing stats We only ever talk about the negative side. Also pokemon tuckies offense Yeah, that's positively exactly if you're playing fcs teams you're also cheating your stats and making yourself look better But I give you your saying but also alabama, of course is going to ding it But we have six games. It's not three game sample size, you know, so it will alter results, but not that significantly when we're at when we're at six Don't they run the sabin defense? Um, I mean they have mint like their three down is from save. I mean, yeah, there's a lot of elements, but at this point It's curvy. It's a curvy defense All right, so But what's interesting right is like so in You can go watch those curvy clinics where he's talking about their philosophy on stopping the pass with a lightbox But that's also why he says you got to have dudes in the run game So you can only use a few of them, right? Also the sabin defense quote unquote more changed completely and utterly while sabin was there Right one of the reasons sabin is the goat Is he had the perfect balance of old coach? Hey, we're hanging our hat on this and I don't care like we're going to be tough We're going to do this, but at the same time when it came to strategy and tactics He's like football's changed. I must change everything. I believe I don't doesn't matter how I feel football should be played I will now change my defense. So if you guys go back and watch old nick sabin defenses at vama 260 pound outside linebackers 255 pound inside linebackers bunch of 350 pound dudes on the d-line safeties 225 230 That changed because spread offenses started lighting them up The way that texas would have lit them up if colt mccoy hadn't separated his shoulder, right? So That was a shift and then suddenly you look at bama defense 2.0 And there's 190 pound safeties and 225 pound inside linebackers And the d-line are you know all between 290 and 300 and you know that the outside backers Look look more like dallas turner and will anderson still you know good size help, you know big guys, but they're not 260 So Yeah, so there is no sabin defense quote unquote the sabin defense changed every three or four years at albino Yeah Let's also talk about another elite performer paul. Let's talk about gave one slow He's not going to change in delivering the best possible service to you you can reach him at 832 557 1095 it's there on the screen, but if you're a podcast listener I'll give you that number again 832 557 1095. Here's why you should call him He's damn good at what he does ut grad law degree over 20 years in industry He's also been on the title side owning a title company He understands every aspect of this process and if you have any issues he's a guy who solves problems And makes things happen for you Uh, give him a call now is a interesting time you're going to see interest rates start to go down So you may want to refi or maybe this is the thing that gets you off the bench and you go by a house Start your process with gabe having a great mortgage guy on your side Is a huge advantage in this process. Give him a call find out why All right, so we were talking about You know, georgia want to maybe get lighter boxes so they could stop the pass Um, ideologically at 100 percent. I mean curby literally says that in his clinics, but the problem is The passing defense is not good Um, and that's been the biggest uh, that's been the biggest issue right and that's just what's making georgia fans nervous Because Mississippi state started going bombs away on them Now if you just look at the box score at Mississippi state, you're gonna have the totally wrong impression Georgia was not threatened by Mississippi state at all There was no fear that Mississippi state was going to win the game. None of that Georgia was up and then by a lot at Mississippi state kind of it's like texas last year We would get up by a lot and then teams would have to start just throwing bombs on us and guess what they completed Now what's interesting is they hit several 50/50 balls. They they won those 50/50 balls That doesn't freak me out because Mississippi state's wide receiver core is a really good wide receiver core Craver. I mean they have four guys that are legit wide receivers. I'm not mad at that The interesting part for georgia is they were busting coverages Um, and lebi lebi's a good offensive coordinator. I was telling paul. I think he's top 10 Um, so that's nothing wrong with that. But georgia busting coverages is is um, it's not very georgia-like And if if lebi can get you to bust coverages then Sark Sarkis then will also be able to achieve that Um, but here we kind of look these kind of pastel no colors that we have going here It means you're just kind of like middle of the pack and pretty much everything So a little bit below average in opponent yards per pass giving up 7.4 Mid tier 67th passing success rate so you can move the ball easily on them And then opponent passing a specificity you can hit some deep shots on them As well. So they're gonna they were kind of thoroughly freaked out on the georgia side by how much they got beat deep So I think there's a Freshman ellis robinson or something like that that I think they want to get in the mix there possibly a corner He looks good, but georgia is thoroughly freaked out right now That's their biggest the georgia side match ours is georgia's offense versus our past defense Um, it's the inverse for georgia fans. It's our office. They're past defense georgia really likes their safeties um malachi starks and Really good. Um, the corners have been the problem And I think dailin Everett is the guy that's gotten picked on most Uh, so that's that's the guy I noticed that when they do have problems he's he's the guy struggling and um Yeah, it's interesting. It's it's really interesting that Georgia of all places is struggling a little bit at corner But you know, sometimes it's your development cycles. You're recruiting cycles Things don't align. You know the way the way that you want to But yeah, it's it's very interesting to watch Teams complete balls, you know with with alacrity against a georgia defense like that particularly when they're in stop the past mode, but yet julie and hum free is the other corner and uh, he doesn't get targeted a lot but Opponents have been 9 of 14 against them for 180 yards. He gave up a bomb, too Yep, so dailin Everett is the guy I mentioned 21 of 24 targets for 287 yards so giving up a completion rate at uh I That's 87 percent and you're giving up over 10 yards of completion It's not good from one of your starting corners And so whether they're getting beat deep or they're just giving up a lot of stuff under them They they have not gotten the level of play they need out there And then the safeties is like I said, I think they've been a strength But they're trying to figure out the best way to employ a past defense that can cover up those corners But guys like seeps archesian can isolate your corners. It doesn't matter how good your safety play is Yeah, yeah, you can hide them all you want. He's he hunts matchups that rigor He'll move right to the slot. He'll move wherever he needs to get targeted Now what's interesting right is so the what we want to target here is the passing defense That's also what we wanted to target versus ou and quin came out looking bad And really it wasn't our passing game that beat ou was us running all over him Um, so you know on paper, this is what we need to exploit But if quin is playing like that, you know, can we maximize, you know And that's the thing is like we always have to think about the inverse because yeah, george's past defense is is the weak link but That was supposed to be the case for his oklahoma 2 and it wasn't Yeah, I I don't know what they're doing. I mean, so i'll say this quin wasn't confused Right, he he he saw what he was seeing, you know, he he could see it And there were open texas receivers the ball wasn't getting there It was, you know getting sailed or it was a little off timing You saw that one fourth downplay where we went forward on their side Yeah, just like And he just threw it with a hitch didn't throw the ball correctly and when he came off sark looked at him kind of like And you could you could hear him Mouthing like what what are you doing? Just throw it. What are you doing? And Quin was kind of like shaking his head like I don't I don't know what I was doing like I don't know what the deal was So That was odd Got a hope that another week of practice another week of maybe healing and maybe A home crowd that gets him fired up and makes him forget About his uh his tweaks That'll it'll fire him up and texas come out gunning Yeah, that's uh, that's what i'm most interested in because uh was not happy with his performance Clearly something still bothering him Because he's just running gingerly to the line Kind of turning his back on contact avoiding contact Um didn't look like he was super healthy to me. Um, so we'll just have to kind of see there no inside information That's purely just Watching him on on tape there. So we'll have to see man because that's gonna We can't have that performance versus georgia. I know that So that's gonna be the tricky part Okay, so keeping a safety over the top. Yep. I agree And georgia likes to play a lot of like man covered two man that kind of stuff Um, I don't know if you want to do that versus texas. So, um, so you know, it's an interesting question. So Where is yours going to be most efficient? short Maybe intermediate. He wasn't good in the intermediate game against so you but historically Historically, that's your strength, right? Yeah So if you're georgia Are you incentivized to go against your philosophy and try to prevent all that and almost treat it like a Tennessee game where georgia will man up? And disrupt all the timing, you know, early Obviously very different offenses. I'm not comparing the offenses. I'm just saying stylistically Is there some value in preventing texas from getting their easy throws? Just challenging it and Trusting your safeties to keep a cap on deep routes I think if you do it, it could be high risk high reward. You could be down 14 nothing real quick Or you could really thwart texas lead to get a slow start get the crowd out of the game and you know, you're up You know georgia being up three nothing or seven nothing that other first quarter would feel different from that. Oh, you team, wouldn't it? Yeah, and so that that's going to be kind of the tricky part. I am ready to see how they play us on defense Um, you know, they're star going into the year mikel williams He hasn't played much Is he gonna play is this just I mean he's been nagging injury or what's going on? He's getting like low amounts of snaps, but he's not like they're he's not clearly not like in the mix Um, so I don't know how it's gonna work and like they send pressure like it's georgia Like they'll heat you up, but they're just like they can't get home Um, and it's just it's just weird man like because when you see it you see their ball get off you're like, oh, that's georgia Like they're still elite, you know, um, but they're not finishing like georgia So it's that's what's also kind of weird. And what it's got to see with quinn. This was my issue with quinn Quote unquote rust quinn wasn't setting his feet. He's playing like a freshman all over again. That was my issue. There's rust But also you're about to be a first round NFL quarterback And You can set your feet. There's no rust of I mean that Paul always talks about you need to be able to replicate that every time This is you should have been doing this since the time you were seven You know, so it's like that's not rust to have bad mechanics rust. I can see kind of overthrowing a ball Or being a little slow But rust and doing the basics of what a quarterback does are different things to me And that's why when he kind of just on that third down or fourth down or whatever It was the easiest pass ever and he was just lazy didn't set his feet that bothers me because it's like If i'm an NFL gm I'm i'm keying in on that immediately. Why are you still having these issues in your third year as a starter? Yeah, the the footwork that the weird hitch And yeah, the pity the happy feet pitter patter stuff The the weird hitch and where it's not up even a pump fake you're you're hitching in your delivery and Yeah, it's just I don't it was a weird regression. It's almost like having three weeks or a month off or whatever Set him back mechanically And he'd be resorted to like old muscle memory that Sarc had sort of beaten out of him. Yeah, so I think this week is going to be about like Set your feet So, you know, come on flin like I know but this is a first round nfo quarterback that we're having to tell this Tiger Woods said his prime at a swing coach, man. So yeah Yeah, it's just when you watch like back right or even arch You're seeing like they have the same platform, you know, that's what's just frustrating is like come on man Paul and home where you guys bring value balance. I love a show appreciate your football Thank you football. He was protecting the injury had to get his confidence back That he would not aggregate the injury. I think that's possible too I don't think your feet protect your injury But that's what I was going to say you're like some of that Like what I thought he was protecting his injury when he was doing those rollouts and running slow and towards the line And then also kind of even when he was running that zone read he was like don't hit me here Yeah, even in the end zone. He turned his back exactly like ah Yeah, yeah, I don't think standing in the pocket in a clean pocket and you you tangle your You're you still you tangle your feet up. You don't step into your throw I don't think that's protecting the injury And honestly that would actually hurt your injury because having solid mechanics and a solid base would give you actually stability you need Uh for your torso Um, so it's the torque. It's the torque and this where I agree with you build on the throws. He's a rotational athlete That's the torque your feet aren't the torque though there and so it's I get it when he's sailing balls and stuff That could absolutely be an oblique. It's a weird injury and it I think it's a kind of thing where Down to down You can feel great if you've ever kind of tweaked your back And you you're starting to recover you'll be like ah I feel great And then you reach to pick up something and you don't bend your knees So and then all of a sudden you're like, ah Well, and georgia fans this is interesting. I was listening to them jt daniels had the same injury And they said he came back and it lingered And he and they said they said it's a really tricky injury to deal with georgia fans have seen it in their quarterback And that it continued far longer than it should have continued. All right. We'll just Spitballing. Do you think we should start? Matthew golden We should yeah, he's what he completes 50% which for wider receiver is pretty good statistically one of two for 30 yards That's true. He's averaging 15 yards yards 15 yards per attempt 30 yards per completion Up he'd be an amazing dual threat like draw game quarterback draw you could run some sprint option with him Um, I did I think that's an untapped resource on this team and that's an indictment of steve sarkeesian like You're your number one quarterback has been on the roster this whole time higher time Sarq right front of your quarter plain sight Dude it was funny. I love this start gave him that chance back because sarkees like we can not let you go out like that Um, and you saw the presser too. They were like we worked on it all week and they were like We don't know what happened on that throw but sarkees like we're going back to that So your team doesn't make fun of you all well They did because they cut up that first throw and they just inter spliced it on the team film on sunday Like every 10 clips. Yeah, they just put in matthew gold and just throw And then they added like 50 cents pitch like his as uh, yeah 50 cents Uh, whatever they call it when they throw it out. He just put it in the dirt. Yeah, they uh He was targeting wingo on that first one or whoever it was in the worst he was not even mad Yeah, he was just like dude. What was that? Why did you do that? Yeah, it was just All right, it was our bedroom. I said to my friend randy boond that uh It looked like someone won a contest of throw a ball at the red river rivalry. Yeah It's like an inside texas poster was like you won get in there joe You get to throw a ball on the red river rivalry and you just go out there and go Yeah, that wouldn't exactly how it looked if we threw it The funny part too is like the gunner helmet wasn't particularly good It was into triple coverage if gunner but gunner helm with his arms in the air is nine Boston Yeah, so he's able to just go up and get it. But uh, i was glad sarca let golden Live that one down by being able to do that Let's see Okay, the broadcast mentioned that the saints reached out to texas because they had no experience with how to handle car who has the same Injury. Oh, well, I know that interesting though Very interesting to think about it man. Oblique would absolutely suck. You could re-aggravate that doing anything man. Yeah Like just around the house. You could re-aggravate it. That's why it's weird All right Dfi this is not updated. So this here is a lie and i've lied to my audience. Let me get you the real number here I was gonna say that looks raw. It is raw 0.52. They are ninth. So there this is the new number ninth There we go So ninth in the country they were fifth in the country But Mississippi state knocked them down to ninth So that's pretty interesting And this is efficiency metric, right? And so that that's what knocked them down situational defense Um, what we need to really pay attention to this the coolest matchup the most heavyweight part of this game So passing down success rate They're number two in the country So you don't want to get behind the sticks in them But Texas on offense is the number one passing down success rate offense So you're having like real fire versus fire here. So when we get into the third downs We'll see what number one versus number two can do against each other Um, but also they're number two. They can really limit some of our kind of third down stuff in that regard Third down d 29th Fourth down d 67th We don't go for it a ton. So I don't really care about that Um Earlier downs EPA they were able to frustrate teams on first and second down Well, it was kind of like george's mo, right? It was like always like frustrate you on first and second down and we can get you into third and long and now here comes the pass rush and here comes these awesome Uh secondary guys and now you're screwed. They have the first part of that formula down They just don't have the pass rush and the secondary guys making huge plays to capitalize on it Um Red zone d not very great, right? If you get into there there's 71st in the country Just weird man. This is georgia. We're talking about and then what we talked about kind of to Foreshadow really bad in sex per game really bad interception per game really bad in fumbles per game So and also uncharacteristic 83rd in the country and penalties per game That doesn't surprise me. Well, would they're off the field? It doesn't surprise you. You know, yeah, they they seem to have But some of the knuckleheads reign in that program and now they're trying to clean it up and it feels like It's infected a bigger part of their culture than just a few isolated idiots Also, what's interesting I've heard georgia Media they've said they're like man We used to have x player and x player that was like really a vocal leader and like we can turn to and they're like We don't really have those guys. They've said the cars and beck is not a vocal leader And they've said like beck we we know that's not your personality type It doesn't matter you're for like first round quarterback. You need to talk more And then on defense. They've said the same thing. They're like they don't have these like fiery leaders um and that They've curvy smartest said a couple times of like hey man We need the players to lead a little bit and they're just they're not so this is just a culturally It's weird at georgia. The numbers are weird It's like you see flashes and you're like, yeah, that's georgia But then like co-plays later. You're like, that's not georgia. So it's like it's It's a weird game And still with all of that information texas is still like what only a three-point favorite Uh, I think it's starting to open up move like three and a half I've seen it four in some spots, which is surprising Yeah, but there's still gonna be a good matchup, but also like texas could win by 14 and I wouldn't be surprised either Like it's hard to get a read. Here's the thing man. This is a this is a must win for georgia Right, not only in the sense of like they want to play for the scc title, but playoffs I'm as crazy as this sounds If they lose to texas They've still got forda neutral Oh at ol miss and oxford which will be an oh a must win for ol miss They've still got tennessee and athens They got you mass you can't underestimate the minutemen and then uh, they end up a georgia tech. So, you know, I mean this is like If they lose to texas, there's no There are no more slip-ups available for them the rest of the season They will miss the playoff More likely than not obviously depends on it falls for everyone else, but that would be a big deal The tricky part is too is like I feel like as an audience, we have not adapted to this new style Where georgia, alabama and texas are all playing each other six games in Like a three lost georgia. I still feel good about georgia So i'm not saying how you and i would think i think we're doing the average committee person who's like using raw stats and Lots of ive else 200 passing yards I've just was blown away by what they did against appellation state and it's like, okay. Well, yeah interesting Uh jacob they actually do rank first in traffic violations. You're correct Um, and we did uh, we had a funny post Yesterday a commoner in uh, other chat. They said georgia is gonna lose because they're gonna be so distracted by the f1 race I made a similar joke. That's really funny. Yeah, so that's gonna be that's gonna be solid All right, cool. That's georgia. You feel comfortable with that I do I do feel comfortable. I think this is a huge game. I'm excited. I think the texas fans need to freaking bring it And uh, you're good under their schedule real quick Just to refresh people. I keep it. I keep it right in here. I mean They destroyed clemson. They did clemson what we did to ou and clemson's better than ou. I can assure you of that. So, uh, Yeah, the kentucky game is when the alarm bell started to go off the next week. They lose to bama They beat arborin pretty handily Uh, arborin's actually hard to blow out if they don't quit or throw like three pick sixes Yep, and then missippie state that was interesting. Yeah. I understand they were up 34 10 But It's just interesting. It's interesting that when missippie state was playing catch up and you knew what they were gonna do Georgia couldn't just stop it by scheme or by personnel. That's interesting to me because That texas fans did that same copium last year when I'd be like, hey There's something wrong in our secondary. This isn't well coordinated. We're not We're not playing well people like that's late in the game. These are garbage yards garbage points and i'm like Like that's not what's happening and then you play washington and you go. Oh Like so Yeah, the big boys will be able to these are all all these things are what good teams notice down the road They're gonna get you and that for you know, Georgia fans were like, well, you know, texas struggled missippie state too I said, yeah, we were we had a slow start with our second string quarterback and we definitely give up 31 points too That's a huge difference. It was a different form of struggle. Exactly. It was Yeah, it felt and looked different, but hey, man had tipped to mississippi state. They're scrappy Bambiran's gonna be a good quarterback for them. He is gonna be good and levi's a good offensive coach Yeah, I agree Missy gave up against texas and just wanted to run the game out as opposed to making a shootout with georgia Yeah, they did go at him, baby. You watch the second half of that game. It's a lot of fun. But like we said there was um Georgia was never under threat and most importantly Beck made like this drive at the end of basically All right enough, you know It just went like for eight minutes. Like this is not some story. I don't want to hear on twitter how this was a close game. All right, let's uh Stop sharing this real quick. Let's do opponent games and interest and then we'll get out of here, brother. Let's go All right First things first Lord the number one ranked in the scc of texas a and m man Man, they're a leader. Hey, forget about the beginning part of the season where they weren't elite But man they blew out that really good miss Missouri team So let's see they are going to play miss sippy state they are 14 and a half and they are going to be in stark will so What do you think in here? Shouldn't this be like a home game to anem? Yeah, everyone's in maroon cowbells a lot of pastures. Yep boring college town We're so Gonna win. Uh, I wouldn't bet this game just because miss sippy states shown to be so live as an underdog They covered against texas. They covered against uh georgia Uh, but a and m on on balance is pretty well built to to pound miss sippy state Particularly just running the ball. So Yeah, I would expect an m to go in there and win but hell man miss sippy state They look like a backdoor cover specialist. They're like the new colorado. They're like a Yeah, it's I just think that Yeah, this is a game I wouldn't bet on Yeah, it's gonna. It's gonna be man. I hope a and m's able to Win out and do well because man that matchup at the end of the year will be insane. I don't I do Because that that's better right if they're like a really good team and we beat them head to head I think it's cooler. I like when they suck and they're all upset Yeah, but they're gonna be even more upset when they don't suck and we still beat them Because then they don't have the we suck Schedule taken care of now that we have vandy on the schedule man. Don't worry about it. That's true. Speaking of vandy ball state at vandy Vandy 20 26 and a half point favorites. How you feel? They beat alabama the vandy beat alabama and lost to georgia state. That's what you need to know about vander built But ball state is no georgia state. I knew georgia state, sir And ball state's really really bad. So through those of you don't keep up with broader college football or the mac God bless you But if you gamble as I do you kind of try to keep up with everyone because that's where the actually advantages are You know, there's no advantage in Ohio state, Oregon But there is in ball state vandy ball state's truly truly terrible I see here's an interesting question connor. I'm not sure vandy's capable of blowing someone out The way that their style of play. Yeah, that's what that's what's interesting, right? So it's like yeah, they're gonna do this kind of option. He just beat you to death style of football run the clock Yeah, I mean there there there they their game management is incredible I mean, it's their offensive coordinator. What the guy he's the guy from new mexico state He was jego papia's offensive coordinator. Oh, I didn't know that either Oh, yeah, so tim back the other tim back. Yeah, he transferred over With papia and papia's number one target the tight end eli stowers. There's vanderville's number one receiver And this little troika has saved vanderville football And uh, yeah, I mean, I I wouldn't I don't have an opinion on this game in terms of betting Vandy is the right side. Uh, but you know how How capable are they of blowing people out? I don't know I don't think they're I don't know if they can play in anything But sort of tight margin games. They're it's not gonna be tight with ball state But you know again this vanderville team lost to georgia state. So keep that in mind They lost to mazurian overtime. So You know, they're they're sealing is obviously they can beat vama, but they can't always attain that ceiling frequently Yeah, and they're kind of in that it's interesting when you hear people talking about they're kind of in that Cute stage like where kansas started winning and everybody's like, oh, that's really adorable like in talking nice about them I want to see dandy can go to that stage where it's like, all right. It's not funny anymore You need to watch out for vandy, you know, yeah, well, I think they've entered that boat I know it's it's uh, it's funny, but everyone's like super like hey go look look at them go Until they're cute Yeah until they beat your team and they're like, all right games over All right, uh lsu at argan saw so this is argan saw is kind of a once again a weird team I'm interested in watching this game. I need to figure out what argan saw is at its essence They don't know and Taylor and green is hurt. So that's the thing to monitor in this game argan saw is a live dog in this game and here's why lsu just won a really big really emotional game Yeah, and if you know anything about that the knuckleheads that permeate that program Focus will not be a priority of early in this week And uh, I I think that all hinges on tailing green's health lsu is the better team guy for guy But they're their defense is vulnerable and the fact that lane kiffin couldn't exploit that more was pretty shocking Uh, I know they're in death valley night game bla bla bla and then lsu on offense I mean they're explosive nuss mire has a freaking cannon. Yes. They're all on peril. He'll throw it to the other team Yeah fall can we get you and eric to start an it sports book in and joe can count the cash in a locked room Is one of those green visors? I love it. Yeah, we're working on it Yeah, and then we need niggas fix we'll be coming out today on inside texas And yes, I will be betting on army yet again to cover And yet again Black nights at the hudson will cover. Yeah, if you guys are sicko sign up for inside texas you can see uh paul's picks all right Well, no, in fact lsu and archie is a rivalry game. They have a trophy and everything. Yeah, what is the trophy? I have no idea. Is it like uh A year off your palimony Came into something dude It's like when the big 12 kept trying to like act like they had rivalries You know and like I would just hear about the whatever game and I was like y'all I'm just making this up as you go And the judge waves your bail bomb. Yeah, that's what that's what it is Two years off parole That's right. All right Finally, no, this actually will be an interesting game because florida showing some fight and then kentucky It's like man. They're a dark horse. No, they suck man. They're a dark horse. No, they stress So it's like we don't even know what to think in kentucky, but florida's seeming like they're not going down They keep at least getting backed up after getting knocked out. So Uh kentucky florida's has a potential and florida a favorite here one and a half points right now Which is lord is a favorite Uh, I guess the home field getting factored in there. I would like kentucky in this matchup But the idea that I could predict what kentucky is going to be week for week is hilarious. So Uh, but yeah, I I think florida grab merch A little banged up from what I understand. So again like the tail and green info. That's something you want to look at Lagway, obviously the big potential Super talented guy, but against kentucky's defense. I think he would struggle if he had to start four quarters So I think that's an interesting game What oh merted up for the year. There you go. There's the update. I was just about to look at that right after we got off So yeah, it's all a lagway And uh, I think that kentucky defense It's probably going to have something for him. So that'll be very very interesting uh kentucky's offense is for it But uh, florida's defense busts coverage That's what they do. So kentucky, I think they should probably go on the road and get a win here, but Holy cow this kentucky team plays georgia down to the wire Uh, gets smoked by south carolina at home beads miss old miss Yeah, I mean really if you watch it on the wine and scrimmage they push old miss around so Very interesting team. I like kentucky The SEC is weird like in this year like Anybody you know how they're always like anybody can get you that's not been historically true That's just them hyping this up But this year it does feel like anyone can get you simply because you don't know who sucks in this conference right now It's like You you there's no trend lines like everybody's just going up and down up and down. It's weird. The parody is awesome though This is I prefer if you're a boxing UFC fan Boxers like purposely pad their stats, you know, their first 40 fights They're not fighting anybody and they always that be 40 and oh and it's boring The UFC on the flip side is like let's throw our champion up against this guy Everyone has two losses besides john jones and that's a better product But that's what i was saying earlier. We the average voter has to adjust to a two lost georgia is not a bad team You know and so it's like this is what it's going to become man. It's like having two losses is normal I like this better than the you have to you know a higher state lost to Oregon last night. They're for they're out of it trash Yeah, yeah, so it's college football And the the the lost column bias that have people are infected with right at the same time it's internet culture in which all things are either amazing or the worst ever yeah, like the internet has no concept of nuance mediocre Yeah, think about the word mid which is supposed to mean like the middle like yeah, it's still mid is used as a Terrible. Yeah, exactly Which i was about the other day Yeah, it exactly proves my point. So yeah when internet culture meets college football Which says any loss is a stain permanently upon you and you cannot recover People have got to adjust and have this different notion and people can say kentucky sucks or kentucky's good And they have justifications for both. So that's like the crazy thing about some of these teams Yeah, I just I i'm already interested for like if texas beats georgia. The truth is not good Anyways, they have two losses. It's like yes at tabama in texas Well texas fans just chalk this up to any team we beat They were terrible anyway, so yeah until we beat vander built and dia go pavia in their home stadium We will not receive the respect we deserve. That's absolutely true. Absolutely Fans thanks for hanging out paul another fun tuesday I'll see you guys tomorrow 9 30 a.m. Me and the end boy, hook them y'all (upbeat music) (upbeat music)
Texas faces it's first real test against the No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs. What do we need to know?
