Postgame Live: No. 3 Texas Longhorns Defeat Texas A&M Aggies 17-7 (Instant React)
Hell yeah, brother. I thought dude That was big time in That was awesome. That was awesome. That was lit 13 years and ain't nothing changed. That was nothing's changed nothing Weirder than a 10-point victory in which you absolutely dominated everything Just beat their asses. What's up through kelson? His palm never shook Never never the B-fist Well, I was like I was just watching the game almost bemused like oh we're dominating these guys and then it was so Fine to watch the nation when the plug-flop got blocked. I did a little of that Drew never sweat. I Did I didn't I didn't because the offense was just I mean they were driving it wasn't like they weren't doing what they need Yeah, yeah, that's what was so weird man Because like did we have like several 80-yard drives like we just all the way down the field. It was just That was weird, but who cares man. I don't care if we if you went by half a point That was awesome dude. The defense is so stone cold man That was awesome God, you know, here's the the bummer We had we still haven't played a good schedule No, no playing in him playing these sorry ass teams Exactly, and we just aren't going to get any respect for that. We still play nobody. We've beaten nobody. Yeah, exactly You know That narrative doesn't work out well for you when you lose the game. No and that that's that's primarily and heavily according to the Aggies That's right. That's why it's funny. I'm like you guys You know, you set yourself up for when we beat you guys to also not be a good team. Yo, Jake best defensive performance since I don't know man. We've had a lot of great performances this year. This one just felt and meant more I mean, let's not I mean when we shut up. No, we shut them out. We shut them out To know you Would you do that to your two main rivals? Yeah, that is That is no joke man. I love it after them. I love it and we have a run game like trade You know, let's let's talk about tray. Yeah, because the the offensive line played a fantastic game But when a&m knew we were running the ball that last one of the last drives they had a nine-man front Yep, and Trey got six yards. Yeah He was hitting cutbacks like I mean they could not stop him dude I mean for two weeks in a row Trey has not made any sense Dude, he's just every time he touches eight yards eight yards eight yards And I'm watching and I was watching the game with someone who you know, they've watched Texas football in general But they watch college for a lot that really paid, you know, one of my friends was like, hey, um, who's this kid? For Texas like have y'all ever fed him like this before I was like, no, nope We've never fed him like this before but he was eating a night and there's so many there's so many times where you're like Okay, there may not be anything there. He just has to take what he can get and he's getting six seven eight nine. Yeah So we can win with that Yeah, like first first of all, yes We had turnovers and yours and all the other stuff what regardless of all that my main concern this year Was what when could we have the running game to lean on? When could we trust the running game and do something for us and not necessarily even in the fourth quarter where people know we're running It was just we need to we need people to know we're not just throwing the ball Yeah, so so I know tonight was one step in the right direction actually to after Kentucky last week I want Georgia like I want to see how we look this time this next time against Georgia with our run game With a healthy quarterback with with us kind of knowing a bit more of who we are Yeah, yeah, and that's a great thing right when quarterbacks not showing up necessarily in that regard We have a full team man run game showed up defense showed up. That's what that's what I thought was awesome man How well round and tray wise you see the video him on are the shot of him on the bike They had him on the bike on the sideline like towards the end of the fourth quarter. He looked exhausted man It was really funny go back when you rewatch it look for that play So he got what 30 31 touches I think no more more That was yeah more than 30 That was sick. Oh, yeah, we're the way place for Texas. I was gonna say yeah That seems pretty important right 33 attempts man, and then he also caught a couple, right? Yep 35 Wow over 200 yards Wow Monster Monster monster on the biggest stage the biggest game the entire country's hyping it up The entire country's rooting against Texas regardless of the situation There are people who do not want Texas to win The SEC the entire SEC does not consider us SEC. I know this from Auburn I know this from Tennessee. I know this from Florida I know this from people who go to all of these schools have attended all these schools They root against us because we're new No, they want to end him to beat us because we're new except for the LSU fans Well, it it embarrasses him right there The whole identity of the SEC is like we're this elite guard and there's no way anyone could walk in here and survive And then this year I think it's combination Texas really good the league is down and so they're having to eat crow So they want Texas to lose because the they're worst thing ever would be us for us to come to the league You can play for an SEC championship and we came into league and we're gonna play for We saw today college football is down. Yeah, right. That's why you want to be in this playoff. Yep Man, that was fun And that was that was fun I love seeing burn orange like mixed in into like the lower deck Yeah I have friends with that were at the game and when we went up to 14 to nothing Because I was asking him. It was like how many fans do you think are there Texas fans and My co-hosts for EGAT was like 15 K Wow, really and then when they when it was 14 nothing I was like you should be able to get a good count on Longhorn fans right now and The fans that were there were like, yeah, dude. It's packed with Texas fans and you can hear him Pretty awesome. This was interesting to man gooseby. We got we knew he's gonna be our left tackle next year But he's gonna be our left tackle for sure for sure for sure. Yeah. Oh, yes. Yes, but too So you want to play right right tackle? Yeah, yes great feet and that frame is just gonna get stronger and stronger Yeah, yeah, you know lean 315 as funny as that sound he made it look easy. Yeah Unbelievable man what a game what a season like The identity being defensive is huge for me for no other reason I'm every game that we've lost, you know with 20 and 3 or 21 and 3 over the last two seasons The defense has been a liability even even against OU Quinn had those two interceptions or you know untimely early in the game The defense is what couldn't get the stops when we needed it. Yeah Washington the defense who couldn't get the stops when we needed it this year of course against Georgia was a completely different thing But the defense the defense and the run game for me We can go beat anybody and I mean I expect us to go beat anybody because the defense travels people are gonna have to work the score against this You can have an athletic quarterback Okay, we can we can handle that But yeah, well, I think Oregon is is one where we got a we got to see him in both ways, but I Feel really good about whoever else we have to face the rest of the year I can't even say that maybe three or four weeks ago. Yeah, we rushed for 240 yards drew Two hundred and forty eight for the Aggie total and against a good rushing defense We'll that that vaunted Aggie front got dominated and controlled by the Dominated. Yep. That was awesome to cramp it up hurt. It was a physical game. Yep Should have probably thank you. We're back little brother like I said earlier 13 years and nothing's changed man. Oh Man ain't life sweet fellas. I love it. I love it. I love it And then I have to go rebuild and figure the rest of this stuff out Yeah, that was uh, that was awesome Hey Vernon brought to Games and he'd been pretty quiet the last four or five games he He bald out today Played very well, but man boy Brought in just very impressive makuba lightened people up a huge P by pb u I've heard him long. That was absolutely clutch I was scared for our targeting. I'm gonna say that's good with his pads moving laterally I guess that's illegal on a football field now drew. I'm trying to get drew activated. He's too calm I'm happy that reviewed it because when it first at live, I was like, oh man I get him throwing his body out there, but then that's that may be targeting When they slowed it down. I was like, I like the snow mo. I think the slow mo is gonna help Yeah Well, the slow mo when you lead with your pads and just tackle the guy Right, I mean turns out like people's heads hit each other incidentally when you tackle someone I'm right like you can't call that so Anyhow hated just gonna get a call and you know that so Good game to you guys well played in every aspect read was uh shell shocked and our offense never got started looking forward in issues Game, thank you salty matt That was fun. You'll see you next year. Yeah, I think the agony offense learned the texas defense is legit Yeah, that's the Yeah, even the announcer said like, you know texas hasn't faced an offense to this caliber I'm like, I I really don't think people understand how good this texas defense is. No Freaks man We're good. We're the best in the country like it's like And we're clutch on top of that. It's not like stat padding Three sound stops Yeah That's that's big boy stuff manning Dude this what did we use to god? What do we use to call it with swoops was an 18 wheeler or 18 18 wheeler in the package He brought archen dude After after quince red zone performance in the second half, I was like, oh, maybe I get why why we're doing the manning in the red zone But uh, that was fun man The first touchdown after 13 years is archen manning Like what's going on? That was sick You know that's going to get some uh that poor guy's going to get some grief in the anmdb room And he's going to be like you try to tackle that guy in the open field But yeah In six four is helpful. I know it looks like a frat guy. It is a little, you know shorts and polo But yeah, it's a big strong dude. Yeah, arches different The espn had that clip up so fast. It was incredible It was a lot of high point Dude it was incredible Oh, hey Tyler mayor Underrated comment. You got to pull that up Because that that is what this is about at some level The most recent chat Can't wait to go to work next. Yes, that's what dude. Yeah, that is what it's about Yeah America or a small company There's going to be Aggies in the workforce and uh, they were yapping all week and now you're going to stroll in Like just a big smile. How was your weekend? I can't wait Well, dude, the analysis coming from the national guys was just drivel. It was all 12th man nothing about what was occurring on the field Like that was absurd to hear quote-unquote football analyst being like, I think a and m because we can win because a and m real loud Like that's what we're giving the audience. Well, man Hey, I do have to say I think that was the most raucous loudest environment Possible It that you know, they they're capable of I just think that's overrated I've always thought that when you have a composed football team. It just doesn't it's not that big For four quarters is overrated. I mean the thing is especially if you thrive on being hated if you thrive in those type of atmospheres Even at home you get up at home. Your crowd stops cheering. Everybody stops cheering. It's like, okay, it sucks on the road You could be up 14 and the crowd on the road will remind you. Oh, okay. We're still hated Like, okay, we have to put up points like because y'all still hate us like we we have not proven to you all that you just need to shut up So let's go It's just different on the road That's It's overrated. I've always felt like playing there is overrated. They're all in think They have cheers and chants. I was gonna say they literally do rehearsals and pep rallies to make sure it's not intimidating It's not intimidating. You just want to go play football But those y'all leaders are pretty intimidating Dude, I watched the live. I don't know what they call their little performance where they do the worst standup comedy of all time Man Dude, it's so weird. I'm embarrassed for them. Dude. It literally makes me uncomfortable when I watch Watching an episode of the office the british office Yeah, you're crawling out of your skin at how uncomfortable the situation is dude You want to stop them and be like, hey, man, like just don't do that. No one thinks this is cool Even the people in the county of cheerleaders. There's some cute girls a day in them now like yeah, dude What it's like, I'm like all the guys in the over like you guys know this is not good. Why are we doing this? Oh here we go. My boy Taftu. I told you guys. He's my favorite that pic, man That was sweet. That was nice, man. Almost had another Yeah Hey drew Were you surprised how frequently we just played two safeties deep and basically just said You're not getting anything over our heads. So you guys do whatever you want near the line of scrimmage We don't eventually we'll stop you You know an underrated part of this game was our decline versus their own life. Yeah, and everyone was talking about the reverse of it Um, I think that's where shine nothing think that's where things shine tonight. I mean they they had They protected when they needed to protect. Oh, you know, uh, animes old line, but On the money downs situational downs That's where we ate. I mean we I mean we ate well I mean broaden. I mean the fourth downs the turnover on downs like those are real plays Those are they call it turnover on downs for a reason. It's because you have to earn them These weren't fourth and 13 end of game. Hellmary type situations. These were Let me watch my language here. These were feet in the ground 10 toes down You're anchored in and you have to go fight And that's why I'm proud of the fourth down plays because they were all fighting plays. They were all plays where I I told you Paul at least in the chat. It's like I was ready for some trickery or mister Direction on that last on that last go line stand. I was like, oh Did y'all want to do this? Yeah, I want to go heads up with us. All right. Yeah. All day That fourth down because I'm like pop pass coming Right And We shifted late. I don't know if you guys saw that we kind of presented an open area on the left We overloaded to the right And at the last second guys sprinted up on the left and we were it was a 11 man front like there were two guys right behind and it was nine across basically And uh, a and m were in the right into the teeth of it. I I mean if they just if they just Run a tight end out there and have Marcel flip it out. It's a touchdown Well, what's funny is in leading up to that play. I saw 17 and 84 their tight ends You know, they have three tight ends in the game. I was like, oh man They have to be throwing to a tight end because if not, I mean put another old lineman in the game Put put anybody else in the game. You're bringing three tight ends out You have to be going to one of these guys. I don't know what you want, but you have to be going to one of them That was the perfect way to play it because you anchored the left side of the line with the shift But then you crashed from the backside so heavily Ethan burk didn't he didn't hesitate his job was purely Come straight down the line and go whatever's there. Yeah, it was I'll take it all day, but that's an ego call That's an ego. We want to punch you in the mouth. We want to come down and that that's not who you are That's not who you are gets us And it didn't happen today. It just did not happen today So maybe they'll have some trick plays in the in the bag for next year. Well, I think they're forgetting I mean moss ain't back there You know Lots wouldn't matter. Yeah. Now I'm talking about the ego of like hey, we'll run it on you It's like you guys don't have your number one NFL bag. You have to judge that And like we're not lsu Yeah, like lsu doesn't have a dude who could start for us Seriously, but they have a coach They have a coach who could get a redder face than our coach for sure. But uh, I mean, there's a I don't think it was so much arrogance. I was like an inability to estimate That you were leveling up And that you better put in some trickeration and some deception into your offensive game plan Because this idea that you're going to pound texas And throw the ball down the field like have you been watching us? I mean, no, dude We haven't played anybody. Oh, I forgot. I keep forgetting that Everybody is all out of state remember like and you know Because of the way we played georgia That means all of the stc is georgia and equal to georgia in that You know, so well and our defense kind of kicked their eyes since we didn't do it against georgia. I guess we could like it's You know what? I'm comfortable with everybody being confused or disturbed or not really understanding that We come to play football like it's I just feel like it's still an understated thing So, you know, we play georgia next week Um, I don't know what stc team we may have a chance of playing in the college football playoffs We'll play one or two at this point, but This whole idea that texas hadn't played anybody without being able to put into context How our defense is showing up or that we don't lose to trash Uh, we haven't I mean And so in their years make no mistake texas the brand you just saying texas over the last 13 years We've lost games. We should have lost I guess team we should have lost them too. It is what it is but that's not who this team is and Every game this season the defense has anchored this team Um, that's without special teams help That's without offensive help some games a lot of games. That's without the running game help That's just going out there and being gritty and grinding regardless of the situation turnovers everything else You gotta be proud of this defense and the way they've led this team this year This has been a defensive team and I think our offense is finally coming together at the right time I'm I'm very proud of the way these guys showed up So I thought today the other rivalry games were very instructive Which is We jumped out early It was Look like it was going to be decisive Murphy's law happened stuff happened. It got the game got a little tighter texas kept their composure You know Think about how ohio state folded when they looked up at the scoreboard in the fourth quarter And there's 10 minutes left to the game. It's still 10 10 It was supposed to be 31 10 at that point drew They were supposed to be throwing bombs and running up the score And ohio state Uptight coaching. I think they infused losing into that team And crazy I thought our defense and our offense frankly was dialed up at the appropriate level of execution versus like You see on defense You could be just ready to run through a wall and everyone bites on play action And it's a 70 yard touchdown, right? You're playing hard, but you're not you're like losing your mind I just I thought the whole team was very composed quin yours had a couple of moments admittedly uh, I thought the team and the staff just were at the perfect level of We're fired up. We're gonna match your intensity and physicality, but we're also going to execute and this is the football game Cool.

I accidentally Hey, you want to hear something sick Yeah That acc title game. Do you know who's playing? Clemson and I'm going to ask them you Yes It's brutal And then that's some you Uh, if that's some you wouldn't have lost that game of but you I used to help me Goodness man. Oh my gosh There it is crazy. Oh, man Thank you. There's so much there's so much about this week That frankly for me I have to ignore because I I get to I just get to the point I'm tired of the talk And it's just like even today. I was like I'm cooking pancakes for the week. I'm meal prepping for the week today. Just trying to see like waste some time And it finally gets to the part where it's like two hours before game. I'm just like I'm scrolling through twitter and it's all these terrible takes And I'm just like gosh, man. I just I just I'm ready to I'm ready to play I'm just ready for the guys to play because 13 years of takes drew It's just time to play. It's time to play. It's time to shit all this up Now I know there's when we talk about the refs and all this other stuff I want to see how honest to Aggies. They're going to be with themselves No, that's that's really what we get to see right now is how honest the Aggies are going to be themselves Are they going to be proud that they even had themselves in this position with the first year coach? Are they going to act like you know like life was stolen from them? Oh, they you know bad luck at the end of the day We've had hurt quarterback missed two games. We've had running backs get hurt. We've had all types of stuff. Everybody's had things happen You keep playing I think that's the real difference in this rivalry that I think will make more sense to us as the years go on It's listening to the Aggies response to how their season is going and unfolding But now we have to play them and so now it actually matters now it actually is going to matter year in a year out It's going to get more annoying But here's a reality check for the Aggies You got doubled up in yardage You lost by double digits at home in front of the greatest crowd ever and a bunch of Aggies public media Aggies at least We're saying this is the most important game in the history of Texas A&M football Yeah, and they got physically dominated on both lines of scrimmage and And They've been in the SEC for 13 years drew How many SEC title games have they played in Zero How many years have we been in the SEC One year and For a full year. Who did we defeat to go to the SEC title game? Damn they could John had they been able to upset us by some miracle of god. I got this one A&M very good. So I hope they're not honest with themselves. That would be great. Welcome to the SEC Aggies Now you're in the real A&M not SEC ready Still after 13 years Uh AR we went to the darling of the SEC and bam last year for a night game still have to line it up Oh, yeah Oh man, it's just I mean And this is how I felt about it too. Like we can we can all be frustrated. I think we're all burned out on yours Besides a few plays here and there and some big plays obviously Yours did everything there's there's some things tonight that we hadn't really seen him do in a while I mean just hitting some deballs I mean making some throws great throw by jaden blue again catch by jaden blue in the back of the intro Great great great need like he needled in a throw to hell between two defenders that was Yours bald like I I was getting text messages from people. It's like you were you were sucks again I'm like chill Like he is not perfect. He's far from perfect. But when the guy is doubt in And doubt into what starks calling Um, so I had a man beater where I think the entree more came in on emotion and then ran out route. I was just Everything was just doubt in You were just executing the game plan I mean I'm proud of quen yours for for coming into this environment and doing what he's done on the road for us Time and time and time again Doing his job and the yours with this type of defense on the road Um, yeah, I mean this this is a comfortable spot for him. So, you know, he he made some throws. He made some tough throws I'm proud of him. He's going to continue to get beat up Uh, we'll watch film and see some things and some plays he could have had but I'm just We needed this game. We can say it call it how we want We knew we were the better team and all this other stuff, but we absolutely needed this game And quen yours could have been the difference between us winning it or not And he he wanted like he actually made plays that helped us win this game regardless of the negative plays That that happened You were came to play today. So, um, and that's that's right alongside quen trivia on wisener Uh, who who made his name known tonight on the national scale for sure. So, um, I'm proud of quen Um in the way he showed up I am well with the ankle especially man like him going on some big runs You know, he's going to be hurting in the morning. Oh, dude You can't have those turnovers in the red zone. I mean, no, no, but I was all making him of that. That was kind of You can't understand the game situation there. Right. Absolutely. Like that was tough Absolutely, um, you know He was tip toeing down the sideline and then stepped out. He just didn't think they'd just give it up to him Yeah, whenever he went out of bounds. He was he was like light a brisk on a brisk jog of the sideline Well, so cam williams had an amazing block Uh, the first guy that he got passed cam williams just stuck with this guy and drove him about 10 yards And that cut off some backside pursuit And then one of the receivers downfield. I can't remember who I wish maybe this golden But he had a guy just jacked up and the sideline wide open I mean, I think that would have gone Yeah, and even able to stay in because all of the aggy pursuit had been cut off So I think you could have like lightly jogged into the end zone, which would have been hilarious Quinn did have a nice Fade to the golden Which uh, Ian and paul talked about earlier in the week and I said was not going to happen Uh, because take that corner. But we hit we hit the fade. I know I told the Ian You know what I said was not going to happen. What a special arch package Yeah, and it yeah, yeah, Ian Ian was uh on his game today or uh on his game thursday All he so Ian is a volume shooter He has 25 predictions Right and then he resuscitates the threads that anything that was accurate and anything else he buries it Yeah, tell you what i can shoot her man. Yeah Don't I agree with the i never thought we never seen our we never came to another ball Go ahead drew. Sorry. No, I'll just say that fade ball. When was the last time we seen quite even a temp to throw a famine a true fade It because we see the slot fade. We used to see it a lot more. Yeah, that was just a straight fade. Was it? It was they had a they had a late it was a late switch route They did a little switch fade is a go on the sidelines. It's a face Yeah, beautiful throat golden was wide open. Yep. Great job Yeah, the Aggies, I got to say Boy, they were all over the screen game early. Weren't they? Yeah Just they knew the keys and they were firing. They knew it. I was like they know our plays right now. Yeah I wonder where that they didn't know the play where we handed off to Trey Weisner Yeah, they know that so the best part about our run game is I think I think we can lull people to sleep with the past and then start running It's almost like that. That's kind of what what I think our our formula has been the last two weeks We we throw to run we throw to run. Yeah And I don't know if that's a scc thing They're not you got a sark thing. That's a sark thing They're not used to seeing that in the scc like they're used to saying run to throw or guys just you know or more balanced, but We'll throw the ball and then we look up and there's a running back with 33 carries That they're not expecting that coming into the game plan Yeah Well, and we have the D line depth on the other side That other teams don't and so I mean, it was quite predictable. We were running the football through once Quinn had a defumble after the the pick six We were handing off the football and A&M knew it and they couldn't stop it I mean, that's that's a that's just guys got worn out. They got beaten down when they couldn't do anything about it It did feel though like the announcers And i'm just going to call them the announcers Like they just didn't really have a good sit or pulse for what this team could be either Even I mean it was a 10 point win for texas, but It was almost as if they were just anticipating there would be some type of surge Or texas would lay down in these fourth down plays I think worth it. I mean the the fourth down stops the goal line stops for the difference And I think kind of getting them on board with Yeah, this this is not This game's over if a and m can't do that this game is over because what else can a and m do Yeah, I thought a elko's mismanagement of the clock And some situations was interesting and notable in that first half If you guys will recall stark runs out arch In the red zone elko calls timeout stark puts out when Quinn throws the touchdown to blue That was that was the Aggies last time out In the end of half situation they got the ball back And because they would kept we're worrying about the clock they kept having to run everything on the sidelines Yeah, and that was limiting the field, right? They got down to where if they could have just made one play in the middle of the field you call a timeout and kick a field And you could say well, you're still 17-3 You scored So you brought it down to a two score game suddenly that picked six takes on a different dimension, right? And elko did that again in the second half They frittered away a timeout on the fourth down call Hey, man You have to know on third down are we kicking this if we don't get it or are we going for? You don't call it time out and have a discussion And then have your in the after quarterback just buckling back up like okay, let's go for it. Yeah, I mean So that was just that was bad game management right there by elko very interesting so the thing I know um One one of my boys who follows georgia closely. He he he's a I he's georgia fan follows georgia closely His perception has been that when people watch film on texas, they just don't believe what they see They're just like can they be that physical like is it? Are they really that good like they just don't believe it They just don't believe it And there's just a sense that when people go into games or when these teams go in the games, they just assume Well, you know what texas did it against missus to be state they can't do it against us texas did it against all you they can't do it against us texas did against michigan They can't do it against us. Oh, they did it against florida Uh without their quarterback which has nothing to do with anything. They can't do it against us And maybe one of these days People will believe what they see on film But I I mean every day. I mean every the the film is It is natural to watch film in that way. It's natural to watch film and say well that won't happen against us I know my job. I know my I know my protections. I know my responsibilities It's different when the ball gets snapped And you think you're plugging the right gap and the outside zone and the back just He he's elusive The the old line is not going to give you time to really look and see and feel where you need to go. That's just going to mall you Man, I'm proud. I'm proud of the way we ran the ball. I'm proud of the way our offensive line played I'm proud of the way our defenses played. This is the way we want to look in the scc Run the ball. Well when you need to Play great defense opportunistic defense great situational defense great situational offense except for you know a couple other things But Yeah, man I mean, I know we played nobody today because you know we haven't beaten anybody But this one felt this one felt great. Amen drew well There's another person that we're going to give praise to and that's our beloved sponsor We're proud of this guy. His name is gave wood. So Hey, you know what? We're all fired up. We're excited. We're in a good mood Let's go buy house. And this is the guy we need to call to do it You can reach him at a three two five five seven one zero nine five Gave us over 20 years in the industry. He's fantastic at what he does woman national merit scholar. He has a law degree Uh This dude's a law horn through and through he was texting me Uh in bipolar fashion this whole game He is fired up call him text him say hey, we're in the market. We want we want you in our corner This is the guy you want working for you not joe schmo from big bank who works from Nine to 11 takes a two-hour lunch and then works from one to four that ain't gonna cut it for you You got to get a text in your corner who's elite that's gave a three two five five seven one zero nine five Good stuff All right check in all right how many uh, let's look at our defensive stats here I want to know how many pbu's makuba had and I wonder how many pfl's brought Broaden had two tackles for loss. Yep. Yep, and then makuba had one breakup man I felt like you had a couple, but all right Yeah, when he only put out for the targeting, I was nervous because he's made some huge plays for us down the stretch So we had six tackles for loss man. It felt like more Yeah I think it was problem two because when the quarterbacks run and it feels like a tfl no matter what. Yeah. Yeah, that's true Yeah, I mean just a and m just didn't get any No explosive plays I mean that We've really dominated their offense Just their designed one like the what they're like second play. There's clearly a script play No, they break our covers. That was that was literally like it Yep, it's just funny when you can break a coverage or be the covers on a script play But you just can't find those plays on any other down that's So that's an advantage I can't remember who who said that this week guys it could have been you paul it could have been Ian but So We have we have several years of defense installed on our on our squad right like I mean offense and defense We just have layers of Concepts built in to everything we can do There's no way elko with a freshman or you know first time started quarterback even this defense of the season can just throw in and just manufacture Uh start things on either side of the ball uh That could be this So to your point true elko came in And had to just restock and start from scratch right four of their five starters our transfers Yep, and it's you know, we're in year Four right of pk. We brought in nanson who clearly had an imprint On this defense. I think scottie hazelton has had some input Particularly how we deploy and use our nickel now a little differently Um, and it's all come together and you got a credit pk because he owns the final product and A lot of court coaches a lot of coordinators Have way too much ego to take on a collaborative approach And uh, you see it all over football both the nfl and college level certainly high school though That's that's culture and it goes to the staff And I hate to I don't want to harp too much on culture because I always think culture doesn't matter unless you have wins You can talk about culture all day. Um, I mean, I have friends who play ball at rice. I think rice had a great culture Yeah, but they didn't get the wins to go with it But when the staff when you see the the coaching staff Values culture values tenure values connectedness togetherness collaboration It passes it. It's a part of the culture. It really is Um from from from coordinating well, at least from the defensive side of things all the way down to the players. So Yeah, uh big ups to to pk Um because he you're right. He does on it his names on it Yeah How many Aggies on defense get hurt today? They were trying to stop our momentum. You'll then Notice that well, I thought Ian made a point too that pick six actually heard him because they had to go for like an 80 Yard drive pick six and then turned out for like another 80 yard drive And so it's like they're defense. That's when they started cramping up. Do I think they were strategically Cramping up at one point. Absolutely. But also man, we have them on the field a bunch Well, connor I think your theory that quinures to a per pick six on purpose to tire out their defense. Yeah I'm not sure about that theory You don't think that that was It's speculative at this point. Yeah See that's because you guys can't think ahead like when I that's why you're also flat earther man You see things that other people don't see correct. Correct. Correct. I'm willing to go a little deeper You go deeper. You go on the internet and do the research that we lack. Yes, dude Uh, Trey Moore has been making his presence known he and Simmons are going to be unstoppable next year if he stays Yeah, Trey since Vanderbilt man. It's just been Yeah, I think he should come back to See then the Aggies get some holding calls today. They were complaining about that they get any holding calls that they need it And dude this isn't this so that's the You know what I do want to bring this up connor because that's a great point true. So That an MD line power rushes. Yeah I said coming in We don't struggle with power rushes. It's just our guys aren't going to get Bead out Like that what like it's not going to happen. And so nick scowertin a lot of hype coming in. Did you hear his name called? No, he did nothing irrelevant And by the way, not to kelvin banks. That was to goosby So Did a and m get some pressure intermittently when they blitzed Jaden blue missed a linebacker on one of those Flat out missed york on a on a blitz And then they had a couple of uh decent little calls where they brought nickels and safeties and drop guys and That was the only pressure and it was pretty intermittent to be honest our our line didn't just dominate run blocking I thought they were excellent and oh, I mean, I thought the pass pro was great. Yeah Yep, they did their thing. So if you're built on power rushes Good luck because you're not going to draw a hold and you're not going to get the penetration you think you're going to get I was saying you need speed rush to generate holds And I think you need to play games with speed rush and mess up some of the pocket and get yours a little nervous, right? Well, you get jacked up on overpowering and fear your players and then fear your offensive lines But when it when it's time to make money money downs money situations against the talented offensive line Nothing happens Well, and that's a thing too about experienced older guys Experienced older college football players are strong Like that sounds stupid But 23 year olds are stronger than 19 year olds And that's just how it works like so, you know, it's I remember talking to a guy who played at a A major program and he said it's always shocking to these incredibly elite young freshmen that come in who are not strong yet And they do like a mat drill with a senior walk-on And the dude kind of thrashes them and they're all humiliated because it's a walk-on, but it's like No, he's stronger than you like just go get strong and you'll kick this guy's butt because you're a better athlete But you're not strong yet, and you know, we've got some older guys that have built up some man strength Well, it's funny as you're saying that i'm over here thinking about Trevor gooseby. I'm like, man Yeah, that defies my whole point Part next to the whole point irrelevant This is what happens though Trevor gooseby who do you see you have to see at practice every day? That's true Guys like serrel serrel trying to push him around. I mean you Trevor gooseby's getting I mean he's he's scouting I mean he's he's the second group. Yeah, he goes against these guys every day So what's next gorton when you're going against tremor serrel? I mean you're going against dudes every day Yeah, and the you know people are talking about the culture piece and and drew is right, you know Well, this is a bad year to make this example because they played so above their heads, but you know army has great cultures But most years You know that culture is not the most material part of wins and losses, right? It's talent You know Of course they're when you combine both man. That's when you get real runs at national championships. That's it And there there is no dominant team folks. This playoff is wide open whoever plays well. Don't you give it night? He's gonna win that game Texas defense is dominant Not a dominant team, but the defense is dominant. I don't know if there any other dominant units in the country maybe Miami's offense Or whatever offense is playing against Miami's defense um But yeah, Texas defense if I have to if you're just picking out okay, what's dominant on any particular team I gotta go in Texas's defense, but all of that means nothing until next week. So yeah, we got work to do Guess what guys Well, we got the champ is here All right He broke out the whiskey that apple juice It's It's pretty nice ain't it Ian? Good win Good to be the king Yeah Good win So have We're gonna have to suss out what our seating looks like in the playoff dependent on what happens That Ian this was for you. They said, uh, oh, Ian's got to be happy finding out that Miami wasn't eliminated this week Are they eliminated? Yeah, it's an SMU versus Clemson ACC title game. Yeah, but they could still get in as in a large team. No All over buddy Ten and two ten and two it could still be in it's all over I haven't I haven't done all the calculations. So Yeah, I didn't want to play that team. Yeah, sure You know, I've been saying Texas is like a star running back away I'm just being able to win with win and run game and defense. Yeah We'll see how wisener holds up, but uh He might be able to do it He needs the last two games, man He needs some ice baths and 800 milligrams of ibuprofen And this is coming from Ian running game doesn't matter boy True I just wrote about this actually on the sub stack the defenses have caught up so much now that you're uh Um, the run game is almost like having that Isolation mid-range score in the NBA Or it becomes a good option because it's the only option No So i mean michigan did it that way last year I maybe texas could do it. They need they need queen to play a second half at some point but uh As we handed off pretty he handed off pretty well in the fourth quarter. Yeah. Yeah, he's been doing that well at least Sorry treated a and m rightfully so like a nameless faceless opponent staying between him and his team's goal Locked in right from game day to final whistle. He was pretty intense on his game day interview. Yeah He was like focused especially But having to do an interview in front of an a hostile crowd to find out your best thing ever But he you could tell he was intense from that interview and circle have that kind of demeanor about him a couple times of season He's normally not playing around when that happens That was solid. I am interested in how if he talks about them sheeting the Crowd noise and cheating the music and all that kind of stuff. I thought that was interesting So sark sark so above that kind of stuff like I never hear sark complain about anything He's going to give credit to the players. He's going to give credit to the fans that showed up He's going to talk about his guys his team being prepared Yeah Sark sark is not i'll be shocked if he if he talks about the crowd noise situation unless somebody asks him but oh they will This is a huge win dude Yeah, and enjoy this and go Let's focus on bigger things This this was supposed to be a much bigger win than it was but you know Dude 11 11 and 1 First season SEC we get to play for an SEC championship man like you don't want to smell the roses but smell the roses Like this is that's pretty cool, man. Is this connor what yeah, what's happened to you? See I i'm hyper critical until there's a tipping point. Oh Yeah, and then once you come see you yeah, so now like we're we're airing for me like house money now So it's like i'm kind of good, but you have to get to that point or else i'm hyper critical But once you get there like once we beat uh, it was last year was winning big 12 I don't know if I feel about that this year, but once I have that point that's house money, man It's all good. I just we just need that level when connor goes to heaven He'll be like there's no way to do our movies. Um, and that's okay. Yeah There's gotta be There's a there's a point there. So yeah, i'm definitely uh, I can be hyper critical, but until I think i'm good now Beaten a and man. I think i'm real good now See we need to get instead of putting rain there on your on your uh, your truck For the next month you need to put some long horns on the front. Yeah Yeah, did you see the maniac who rode the long horn into college station? Yeah Yeah Love that guy with a blue healer sitting on the back of it That's why not that's elite. Yeah If you can learn how to ride long horn dude Mango and blazing saddles. That's amazing now now the thing to do the real thing to do is if you're on twitter Go look at texas a and m t amu police Yeah, they're hilarious. Yeah, that is that that's where you want to be tonight If you don't have anything else to do after this just go scroll and look at texas a and m university police department That that should be a fun a fun watch Hey, the 12th man was the difference the Aggies had a important play Where uh, yours got sacked And uh, they had 12 men on the field. So there you go. They just That's not a great complaint from an Aggie. I don't want to blow him up He's a nice guy, but he was complaining on twitter that uh They didn't give texas a and mnf time to substitute on that play And it was like, well, you didn't substitute it was the same guy I ran out on the field and the other defensive lineman were like no, no, no go back Yeah, that's not the substitution rule. Yeah, no That's a dude who didn't know what he was doing that that's Aggies being Aggies Yeah, Aggied it up They were there It didn't matter because they ended up just getting pummeled anyway in the key moments But elko was making some just bizarre decisions Yeah, paul talked about that earlier that his game management was super suspect Yeah, he called like a timeout Before the two-minute warning on a third and one Yeah And he had another timeout too. That was Didn't make a lot of sense and he had to call one in the first half It wasn't a big disaster, but he called one in the first half because of uh, they sent the archmaning package out there and they panicked and call timeout Yeah, I thought the timeout to uh Whether we're gonna go for it on fourth and one like yeah, we talked about this, but you have to know on third and one Yes. Yes. That one was three determined Now if you got sacked or something crazy happening, you lose 11 yards You know what's gonna happen. You're gonna run out the field goal team, right? But there was no yardage exchange. I think I think a&m gained like six inches on that play Yeah, so whatever you have dialed up, you should have already discussed this as a staff And he he did That's weird It's tough tough luck. I guess that's uh, sometimes having a defensive coach as your head coach has an effect Okay That was fun I apparently they're blaming calling Klein which is like Honestly Calling Klein. I mean we played against calling Klein before right? I mean we Start a third time to force him. The Thark has never lost the k-state Yeah And pk always schools Klein and unless they start throwing heavy at the end and then catch up, but they've they've never Kansas state has never been an effective running team against us never Hey connor on your stats. Can you pull up? Do they have missed tackles on there? I have no idea. I don't think so because a&m I I mean I remember in the previews. I was writing about hey This this Aggie defense misses a lot of tackles. They they miss over 10 a game How many times trey wise never get contact Slid off the guy and just kept progressing up the field for eight yards a ton of times. I mean every time Yeah I mean unbelievable Yeah Yeah, they didn't just like his cutback link. I mean it seemed like everything was there He's like last week too. That's a one that one cut back where they stopped they stopped it and showed the slo-mo And then goosby just cave down that whole side That was just wicked man. That's the running game is beautiful when you execute it Yeah, it is art whenever it goes well the last two games, man Why is there looks like he's in the matrix dude like he's Like everyone's moving at a different speed than him like his refresh rate is I'm telling you they're timed up and they're going they're they're holding their double teams longer and then slipping out later I was about to say He had they're buying him time. Yeah, because they're holding the line And so he's just can wait to make his decision. No, the linebackers commit He's playing peek-a-boo with the linebackers and safeties and making them wrong on what their guess is Yeah, or they're contacting him and apparently the strongest 192 pound guy on the planet I don't know how it's going to go against Georgia doing that again But it seems like the outside zone running game is really It's like the bread and butter now and that's generally one of the tougher run plays to defend for any defense If Georgia plays the defense they played against Georgia tech With just three down and just trying to figure the rest out I don't know we'll see Yeah, the the running element of the quarterback for Georgia tech really gave them problems that really did Yeah, that was interesting It was it wasn't interesting Kind of reminded me of the old nyx saben bamma game where georgeous southern Dropped like 270 yards rushing on him. Do you remember that? And and save it in the post game people. Oh, what happened? He's like, we got our coach We did not have played They don't know how to they don't see the option. They don't they don't know what to do Right, we thought we taught him and they freaked out and panicked And you know, they have like five first rounders on that defense. So you know defense is kind of like Run fast be strong be aggressive, but also like you kind of got to know what you're doing And maybe that's the thing drew that gets underestimated about our defense They know what they're doing like all the all the guys play their position correctly Honestly, that that's why I mean we beat and in by 10 points with I mean, how many turnovers is offensive and offensive to two big ones Two big ones that that's where I feel Even against george or anybody else that we get into a fight. I trust our guys in a fight Yeah I trust the fight I'd love a blowout, but I trust us in a fight if we just protect the football. I trust us in a fight So do I yeah, when not to mention the character building aspects If you blow people out, you don't get the developed character, right? I know, you know, there's there's no value and yeah, that's why we that's why we haven't played anybody No, we're trying to keep that fourth quarter viewership that number matters And i'm sure glad aren't you glad that hanes king still isn't at texas a&m Yeah Legitimately he saw it That throwing motion though, man There are some people thinking we seed legman in the second half Because more so we got banged up. It's like They wouldn't make life that easy for us when he tripped Foot thing that was weird What when more so read like tripped himself up and connected both of his oh, yeah That was a weird way to fall. You know what? I thought he was out of the game. What he did I thought he messed up a tendon or something. I want to love legman to get put in the game, dude I would have loved that. I just knew he can't Man, that was fun wagman's level of intellect against rd I know dude. It would have been so many sacks too because he can't There's a code in my shoe dog That's gonna look forever All right You guys have any uh final thoughts Besides I saw I mean they and mboards after we get off here Great Texas open with a one and a half point favorite against georgia I'm friend Sark we need that curvy uh psychology We need to be underdogs so we can lie to our team like we're not talented and then no one is making us Georgia only plays hard against us and it really twists me off I know me to me and paul that whole week we had solid analysis about how this is not the georgia of the past And we can prove it and back it up and then it's late against the worst so like nail Every other game. Yes, and then they prove you right, but against us. They just like ball out They have a great game plan They play so hard like everything that they they're capable of they do And defense mind you their their offense Tried to throw the game away, but you know what they're receivers dropped the ball so much We there's no reason we should lose it I'm sorry dude. Aaron That dude is a lie like do you throw all at the most? Three or four balls. Yeah, and he dropped like a game winner like it like just like easy stuff We should not lose this game. We shouldn't have lost the last one. Hey, we know all of their Two point conversion plays exactly and we know all of their short yardage plays I'm gonna say we know they're third and fourth because once you're out of three two points You're all in it's all third and fourth That's what i was gonna say they ran out of two point plays In three over times in and the rest they're running their short best short yardage Did you know we were going nuts like clamoring for either team to run the ball Like I know three yards. Oh, I was I want a Georgia tech to run the ball. Yeah Yeah, Georgia tech What are you guys doing? They made the whole game running the ball and then decided not to do any triple option Well, Georgia tried to convert one two-pointer with a Carson Beck keeper on a fake toss. Yeah And he got lit up I think he's just I think he's case McCoy on hsh You know, he throws a good back shoulder fade when it says dean I kind of think I kind of think Carson Beck is actually pretty good this year and he has just the most garbage wider seaver group of any Like can you imagine if they had like one NFL wide receiver No one makes you hear different routes because he throws there but the amount of things Yeah, it's the interceptions, but he he still throws really nice stuff too. I don't know I just know Brock Bowers is a cheat code even in the NFL, so Yeah, that that says a lot I don't know that's gonna be fun to dive back into Georgia, man. Um, yeah, no, it's not because they're all of our analysis Does it mean anything? Ever achieved their undisciplined and they're gonna go out and play like Gangbusters Been essentially a home game for them in Atlanta Uh, all right guys, man. That was fun. That was fun. It only took 13 years fellas 11 and 1 Back out of it. Let's keep going Well, this is restored poor idea. Yeah, that's right True. Thank you for stealing itself Yep Paul, thank you Ian. Thank you fans. Thank y'all. Matt have a great night Welcome y'all You You You (upbeat music)
Let's discuss the Texas performance vs the Texas A&M Aggies.
