We've got football games tonight. Colorado, Georgia Tech. We got Missouri's going to beat the shit out of somebody. Illinois is going to beat the shit out of somebody. So we got some football. I'm here. I'm in my studio. We're going an hour early. And I say an hour early. We really got to figure out what we're going to do as far as I'm almost thinking maybe Wednesday night would be a better night going forward. Saturday, Monday, Wednesday, but I'll have to figure that out. We'll figure that out. This is all a kind of a learning experience as we go forward, how to best pace this thing and how to best do this thing. Sooner's Jersey, what the fuck? It's a Sooner's Jersey. I don't know what to tell you. It's Marcus Dupree's Jersey. He was Mississippi before Oklahoma ruined him, uh, bought him and ruined him. So that you guys kind of suck. Uh, but that's what I'm wearing. That's what I'm wearing. So here we go. Um, Liam Blutman. Hi, Brown Walker. Hello. So happy to talk to you today. So it's week one. We're going to get into our categories, our, uh, our game to watch of the week, our player to watch of the week, our under the radar game, our upset alert, our close your eyes, Liam Blutman special of the week and Liam. Blutman will be unveiling his playoff tonight. And if we have time, I will be unveiling my playoff tonight. We also, me and Blutman will open our year long competition of, uh, least wins wins. We're going to draft five teams. And at the end of the year, the, the, the guy with the least wins wins, and that's how we're doing it. Uh, we'll have, uh, we'll have those two things. We'll have the categories right now. I can tell you that Liam Blutman's YouTube channel, uh, the, the, the sister channel to this one, the brother channel, how, how's it work? Sister channel, right? It's sister say sister channel. He'll have an interview with a Notre Dame superstar, probably maybe the best player in college football, Leonard Moore. And then he'll also have Tim Polasek, the North Dakota state head coach. So you've got those two interviews going live tonight. Correct? Correct. Very excited. Leonard Moore. One is a bit shorter. Paul is like a bit longer. I think both of them are very good. Leonard Moore, one of the great characters in the sport. This show right here will include our, uh, our categories. Uh, we'll have, we'll have our five, our, our least team, least wins, wins game. And I'll have two interviews myself at the end of the show. At the very end, we'll have a Virginia quarterback, Pope Robula, who looked impressive the other day after transferring from Penn state and Missouri. We'll talk to him for about 10 minutes. And one that I really, really, really, really like. Um, and I don't know if, if our audiences clash or if our audiences overlap, if they do in any way, if, if the, you know, 65 to 70,000 people who will be watching this on YouTube. Uh, if the, you know, 50 to 60,000 who listened to this exclusively on podcast, if you guys don't know who Brooks Austin is, he is the film guy. He has his own YouTube empire over there. In fact, I was jealous today. I think he, he just put out an interview with Shane Gillis, who was on our list for my guy to go out and get Shane Gillis and didn't happen. So, uh, one, nothing, one, nothing Brooks. But anyway, we have about an hour of ball talk with, uh, Brooks Austin. He's a, he's a YouTube. He's a college football personality who leans heavily, heavily, heavily on his ability to watch film, break it down and translate it to information for the lay person such as myself. He's, he's a better ball watcher than I, um, I, I'm just the number one cost for all media personality in the world, but that guy knows what he's doing. Are you a big Brooks Austin guy? Again, I wish I watched more Brooks Austin. If I did, I would be so much smarter than the idiot I am. So he did just call you out like five times on the, didn't call you out. I mean, he shouted you out and he shouted you out on the end. So we'll have that. That's about 49 minutes of that. All right, let's get right to game one, our week one, uh, week zero happened last week. Week one is, uh, kicking off really much as we speak. Uh, somebody says, uh, E X J says for, uh, Brooks Austin, he's an sec shill. You dumb whiny crybaby bitches say that about every single person in media, every single person in college football media. You're like, he's an sec shill, uh, wipe the fucking fucking sand out of your vagina and shut the fuck up. Oh, he's an sec shill. Or he just talks college football. Turns out if you talk college football, you're probably going to be a big 10 shill or an sec shill cause they're the best conferences in the country with most of the great teams. It's how it works. It's how it fucking works. Don't be a bitch on my channel. Be a bitch on somebody. Go to, go to pay, go wine to pay. Let, uh, let him, uh, go, go cry on his shoulder. All right, so here we go. We've got, uh, the week one categories, the game of the week. The game to watch this week. I think it's easy. I am anxious to see Blutman if you change it or if you have one that isn't actually, I know what yours probably is cause your team is playing in it, but mine is easily Ole miss Louisville. I know LSU is playing, uh, LSU is opening the lane Kiffin era with Clemson. That's fine. I don't know if Clemson is going to do their part to make that a great game. I do think Louisville is going to have something special in store for Ole miss Ole miss starting the peak golden era on paper. Ole miss has maybe the best quarterback in the country, maybe the best running back. I don't know if they're running back in the country. Uh, the defense looks pretty good, but what if Louisville were to shock them to open the season? But what if, and what have Ole miss look great? There's, there's, there's a bunch here. These are the two best teams showing up and playing each other on Saturday. That is my number one game to watch this week. What's yours? Speaker 2 : I mean, right now it's UMass Rutgers. I'm having a blast watching Lonergan, Raymond and Duff, Brian Walker at the end. Okay. Okay. Dude, Raymond and Duff's going to be a first round pick. Maybe whatever. By the end of the season, I might get an award that is better and more credible than the Nobel peace prize. And that is being the least biased personality in college football. My game of the week is Ole miss Louisville. Don't overthink it. That is the best game this week. That is the game that we cannot wait to watch at six 30 central on Sunday night, which is unfortunately, and a crime against humanity, not a standalone game, a heinous crime. Speaker 3 : And that should be standalone. We'll still watch Notre Dame Wisconsin at Lambeau, but it won't be with sound on you. You, you gave it all the right reasons. Almost Louisville's must see television by far the spectacle of the week. Speaker 2 : Yeah, it really is. Now let's do another one. Let's we're going to be quick tonight. We're not going to bog down on these categories. We're not going to bog down on anything. We're just going to go. We're going to go fast. We're going to get to Brooks. Awesome. We're going to get the proper Vula. We're going to get to all the little things that we're doing the player to watch this week. To me, it's pretty easy. Now there's a lot, a lot of players out there. A lot of old faces and new places. A lot of guys you want to see bounce back. A lot of this, a lot of that, of course, Chambliss against Louisville. And then you got Lincoln Keen holds making his season debut there for Louisville. But to me, the number one debut, the number one guy I want to see in his new place is Sam Levitt at LSU. I think we'll know early. I think we'll know quick if he comes out and struggles or doesn't get the lane Kiffin offense or doesn't really gel with his receivers, they could, they could look vulnerable. Very, very quickly. I think you're going to know about lane Kiffin's imprint on this team. Are they distracted by what's going on in the courts? I don't know, but I do know Sam Levitt is the one I'm most anxious to see of all the players in this country. Who is your player to watch this weekend? Speaker 2 : Well, it's going to be Sam. Love it. I'm a smart guy. I knew you would go with him. Did you know Brandon Jacobs, former New York giants running back? His son is the starring left tackle at Clemson. And he's a six foot seven, 345 pounds, but he is going to be there. He's going to be there. Ironman, everyone focused on Kiffin and LSU. I want to see what he does. And then Sammy Omosego at UCLA linebacker. The under-the-radar game of the week. Blutman, you will go first. Liberty at James Madison. Liberty sneaky terrible last year. Jamie Chadwell needs to figure it out. Gattagare, they went 4-8. Jalen Henderson versus probably C.J. Evans in a quarterback matchup. Fun early game. And mine was, of course, Liberty and JMU. I'm changing it on the fly right now. I'm changing it on the fly. And right now, I'm going to say, is Colorado Georgia Tech under the radar? I know they're on a Thursday night. They're starting in a little bit. But, like, this is a game we were kind of excited for last year as Georgia Tech was on the come-up. They were on the rise. They had Haynes King. But it's a very well-coached team. And they're not getting talked about a lot this year. You've got Mendoza. You've got some things going on. And Colorado, I'm just morbidly curious about. Like, everything we saw in the offseason about the strength and conditioning program. Where we see the pictures. And nobody's got any arms. And nobody's got any legs. And it's just not impressive. Is the Deion experiment or Deion tenure. Not experiment. The Deion tenure. Is it in trouble? Will it last past this year? Will they surprise people? I'm really just kind of anxious to see what we see out of Georgia Tech and Colorado. It's like I have questions about both teams. And we'll see tonight. My upset alert. I got one just almost based solely on vibes. I think I'll be the only person in the world that will mention this game for this reason. Bloodman, what is your upset alert? Now, upset alert is not picking a team to beat another team. An upset alert is identifying a spot where a ranked team or a highly favored team better be fucking careful because everything is there for an upset. What would you say is upset alert? I've said with you a few times this week. It's Northwestern hosting South Coast State, the best team in the FCS. I don't understand how Northwestern is a two-touchdown favorite. In this game, is Aiden Childs good, Brandon? Just a straight-up question for you. Is Aiden Childs good? I don't think so. But maybe. But maybe, yeah. But maybe. They're a two-touchdown favorite. Chase Mason, the South Dakota quarterback, has NFL eyes on him entering his senior season. There's a cool little narrative here with Griffin Wildey, former Jackrabbit receiver, who's the best player in Northwestern. And then I like Landon Delaney and Jack Smith, young wideouts for South Coast. My upset alert is just based solely on vibes and vibes alone. I can't tell you, and I'm just going to say it, I can't tell you a single player on one of these teams. Not a single one of them. Not even, I can't even hazard a guess as to what a player's name would be on this team. But wouldn't it be Vanderbilt-like? If Vanderbilt goes 10-2 last year and gets to the edge of the playoff conversation and gets to the end of the playoff conversation, and gets to the end of the playoff conversation, which is the worst game of the entire week. Can I go first, Liam? Please do. I was looking at big-time spreads, and the thing that most of these big-time spreads is they have a big-time team attached to it. They have a huge, you know, it's not surprising that, say, a Texas would be a 30-point favorite over Texas State. It's not surprising that Ohio State would be a huge favorite. It's not surprising that any of these big-time teams are big favorites over Texas State. that should have thought of that you should have apologize i'm sorry to you in the chat that one's on me it is because if you had put a paper clip and a note on it that said bfw ads 9-3 i would have known these were the ads for 9-3 unbelievable shame put me in the penalty box liam are you ashamed of your brother for those at some point you just lose the capability of feeling shame yeah you really do uh for the podcast listeners um that's exactly what happened uh luki had given me a stack of papers with uh with a note that said ads 9-3 and i just looked right over them and picked up last show's ads uh the wait is over football is here and so is draft kings drafting sports app is now live in all 50 states that means from texas california to florida every fan is in on the excitement in this september draft kings is giving customers the opportunity to get boosted every football game day that's right every game day all month long draft kings customers can get a football profit boost one app every sport all 50 states new draft kings customers sign up with code walker spend just five bucks get 200 in total rewards within 21 days includes all markets that's code walker in partnership with draft kings the crown is yours gambling problem call 1-800 gambler 1-800 my reset connecticut call 888-789-7777 or visit ccpg.org on behalf of boot hill casino in kansas bet tax pass-through may apply in illinois 21 and over void in canada bet with draft kings sportsbook to get bonus bets that expire in seven days or trade with draft kings predictions to get predictions dollars that expire in one year event contract trading involves risk of loss predictions offer void in new york non-withdrawable rewards issued as 50 click the claims every seven days for 21 days one single use boost per customer per day expires at the end of the final select game when offered valid for select football transactions on the platform for which it's been issued terms at dk and g.co slash offer limited time offer nationwide based on sportsbook predictions and free-to-play sports contest availability varies by state limited time offer um all right so liam very quickly let's just uh let's just do this right now uh let's let's go through it uh five teams i'm gonna pick you're gonna pick before week one and at the end of the season the team that has the least wins wins this competition would you like to go pick first or second and third i'll take second then third all right i will pick first and i will go uh new rule five teams three have to be power conference teams easy i'm gonna go with the umass minute men as pick number one of teams that will win the least games of this year lukey put umass on my side that's pick one as they just said a 40 yard pass that's great timing liam what you got uh yeah give me kent state lowly kent state and uh southern miss who lost everything in the divorce with charles huff you took kent state and southern miss give me give me i'm gonna do it i said it earlier give me the colorado buffaloes hmm And give me Rutgers. Now I realize it might win tonight. But give me Colorado and Rutgers to go along with my first pick of UMass. So I need one more Power 5 team. You still need three Power 5 teams. Go. How sad is it how bad Rutgers is while having one of the best receivers and one of the best running backs in football? It's almost the saddest. Nice. I'll take Stanford and Arkansas. Okay. I need one more Power 5. Give me. This is to wrap it up for me. Give me Purdue. And Purdue. UMass touchdown. Give me Purdue. Purdue and UL Monroe. Good picks. I'll close it with. Well, if Kansas was just really bad again, just Kansas. Get rid of this guy spamming the chat. I want to read the chat and I want you guys to be part of this, but I don't just don't. We're not spamming. We're not spamming. We're not doing this. We're not. We're not typing the same thing over and over and over and over again. It ruins everybody else's experience. I would like for you guys to be able to talk to me. I can talk to you. I would like for that to happen. But if you just show up and you, you, your life is to spam the same thing. Over and over and over and over. Just get rid of them. I don't, I'm not doing that. You can go, go wherever you want to go. We're not doing that. Um, so did we finish the, did we finish that draft? Yep. We did. I ended up with Rutgers, Colorado, UMass, UL Monroe and Purdue. And you ended up with who? Uh, I just realized that you took two teams that are, one of them is guaranteed a win. I know. I know. I mean, it is what it is. Yeah. Yeah. It is what it is. Uh, Kent state. Kent state, Southern Miss, Arkansas, Kansas, Stanford. Uh, let me do a couple more ads and then we got, uh, we got Brooks also. Oh, you got your playoff, right? Got my playoff. You got yours. I got my playoff too. If we have time, I'm going to do it.

Let's do a little fun thing right here. Lukey, I told you we're not doing voicemails tonight, right? Lukey, can you pick a, pick a chat or pick a, pick a question out of the chat and put it on the screen? Is that something you can possibly do? Yeah, I would need a second to pull it up. Okay. Even if you don't, I'll just read it. How about? How about this chat? I'm with you for the next five minutes. Let's give it a shot. You guys asked me in Blutman questions. We will, uh, we will go for you. We will answer the question. We'll see how well we do chat. You got five minutes. Blutman, you got your playoff ready. I got my playoff locked and loaded, locked and loaded. Uh, give me a playoff team. Number one, the Georgia Bulldogs. One seed. I, you know, I got them when, when at all. Give me the 12 seed. North Dakota State. I flipped from Memphis to NTSU, uh, early Saturday morning. Could LSU says Lina or W64. Could LSU win by three touchdowns? 100%. Yes, they could. Uh, Ryan Garvey says first coach fired. So let's, let's, let's, let's explore that for a second. If Mike Norvell loses to SMU in embarrassing fashion, he he's not the coach on Tuesday, right? That's so sad that they went into this season and that was always. It's going to be a reality. It is, but I don't want to spoil a later segment. I think they're beating SMU this week. Hmm. I, I, I think it's a dangerous spot for SMU. Uh, I, I didn't use them as upset alert. Cause again, I'm going to use them for something else, but I think Norvell Norvell does, even if they beat SMU, he can still be the first coach fired. He can still not make it out. Of course. I think I had them getting fired Halloween, November 1st after Clemson. Now I like this team to bounce back, but there's a world. Beamer doesn't get out of, uh, there's a world. Beamer doesn't get out of, uh, October. So, you know, or cocktober, excuse me. Um, let's see, you know, Maryland locks. Was that comment sponsored by blue chew? Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Um, let's see, uh, is Dabo on the hot seat this year? I truly believe Dabo lives his life above a hot seat. Uh, I believe he lives a life, especially now. I feel like people are coming around on Dabo is the anti everything wrong in college. Football, which I never thought I'd live to see. I really do think with, with, with fans frustrations about this NFL thing, about the NIL thing, about the transfer poll thing, like Dabo standing and kind of stout defiance. It doesn't do much for their win loss record and it doesn't do much for short-term Clemson, but he does kind of seem like a guy who's, who's getting more favor publicly because of his stances on that stuff. Um, most underrated helmet in each conference. Wow. Okay. Oh, 12. 30. Most underrated helmet in each. I would say Auburn for the sec. Uh, I think Auburn is a very strong helmet, but you wouldn't mention it with Florida or Texas or, or some of those. Uh, I think that one's a good one. Um, I don't know how you, how you quantify that because in the ACC, the best helmets are Florida state and Miami, but I think Louisville has got a strong helmet. Uh, NC state's got a strong helmet thoughts. I'm thinking I Tennessee maybe in the SEC. Yeah. Mississippi state using the interlock logo is a big deal. I like that a lot. That's back. Jesus Christ. That's back. I'm just. Can Michigan state ever get back to being a winning program? Says Marcus Moss, 87, 75. Yes. 100%. Again, we live in a world where Indiana won the national title. So yes, Michigan can, Michigan state can get back to being a winning program. All right. Um, let me, uh, BYU's helmet underrated. There's a problem. It's properly rated. I think it's properly rated. I don't think it's the sexiest thing. Now they're overall as a uniform there, their uniform is probably underrated, but I don't think the helmet really does a whole lot for me. Uh, West Virginia as an underrated helmet. I don't mind. Oh, a hundred percent. Somebody says Ole Miss powder blue. Does it get talked about enough? I think it gets over talked about. I think it gets talked about way too much. We, there was a powder blue of vacation in sports. Obviously Ole Miss was ahead of that curve, but we've been powder blued to extreme levels recently. new sponsor alert we got a new sponsor alert can you uh sound the horn blum and sound the horn what

is who io state buckeyes your number four seed is who miami hurricanes your number five c please oregon your number six seed texas tech huh so you've got ohio state winning the winning the big 10 yes uh your number seven seed indiana i don't i haven't heard one that i'm like oh wow what a surprise yet i don't know if that comes yeah number eight seed lsu nine washington that's quite a surprise and the number 10 kansas state and oh the three surprises will be washington k state north dakota state i i almost think a g5 representative just feels like a surprise no matter who you mentioned like if you say memphis or it just feels yeah so um you almost get a free one with your g5 representative although you are picking a team that is just now starting at this level so that would be quite the accomplishment for those guys uh why kansas state why kansas state i really think again it happens with any big 12 team the schedule is super gettable i know that there's some injuries on the offensive line but i'm really playing a lot of trust and faith into colin klein to extract all the talent possible out of avery johnson and see this team as a real bounce back candidate this year get the ball rolling early and never look back still like the defense i don't see why they can't win 10 10 games have a close loss in the conference championship and make the playoff on the back end i just think a lot of the sec is going to beat each other up like texas texas a&m old miss i don't see any of them getting in yeah no i think it's a very very very crowded field uh somebody said somebody in the chat said why does everybody believe in lsu when has lane kiffin not fucked it up um last year last year when the team he put together was in the final four it's pretty pretty easy uh brandon what do you think about when tennessee goes 75 is hypo fired sean mcdonald 41 40 and i believe if i'm not mistaken is that travi for the boys is travi for the boys hanging out in here asking leading tennessee questions because he's an alabama slobbering homer text asking or saying brandon needs to talk about the chance of hypo being fired so i'm gonna say that's him so here's the thing we work at a company with media professionals and i often make fun of some costwell fans that just cannot separate their fandom from their emotions from their intelligence they're all one in the same and your intelligence should be above your emotions should be above your fandom um but we have an alabama fan who works on our tiktok who only lives drinks eats breeds auburn and tennessee failing it's not even about alabama succeeding he only wants tennessee to fail um gospel ball is truly where your um where your passions outweigh your intelligence and travi for the boys is a great example of that tate is a great example of that i'm trying to think of somebody else those two for sure might be an example of that but not on their level not on their level gino seems like he's a level-headed guy so your playoff gino says he's watched more drew mess the maker tape than some of the coaches on oklahoma state this offseason you you all right so your playoff you just gave me the 12 teams did you go all the way with it or did you just give me the 12 teams i didn't go all the way with that i just have georgia winning a national championship i'm not even sure against who yet i probably tweeted that all right here's my play well all right yeah lukey okay all right so we actually don't have time to release my playoff today we will release my playoff uh on monday's show uh being told that on labor day we'll release my playoff don't have time uh i don't think this has anything to do with the me getting three playoff teams out of 12 last year uh but i don't i unfortunately do not have my college football playoff predictions right now handy i apologize to the good people of sheboygan i apologize um to uh the staff writers of rosanne and i apologize to you the viewer um i'm just sorry i i don't

be fun so um here we go every saturday night we're going to be live and uh but right now liam anything to say before we uh we bring in this interview i don't got anything to say except brooks austin won the best in the base he really is uh if you've never seen brooks austin he is a ball knower to the extreme he's fantastic um check him out he's not me i'm i'm always going to be the number one college football media personality in the world um despite people having more views and more successful and more money i'm still number one i got brooks austin coming on the show after that i got beau perbula i got him from virginia so i got an interview with that but i'm gonna go right now to my interview with The film guy, Brooks Austin. All right, film time. Film guy time. Let me tell you something. I don't respect a lot of people in this business because most of them suck. They really, really do. There's a lot of people in college football media that you can tell don't even really want to be here. They're just kind of here. And that's been a plague in college football for a long time. But I do think there's this new generation. Pate certainly is somebody that loves it. I love it. And this guy, I respect this guy as a baller. This is a ball-knower supreme that I'm bringing on right here. In fact, he's got it right there on his damn screen. It says ball-knower. It's Brooks Austin, the film guy. Got the film guy network going on over there every night from 8 to 10. Just always out there, always doing some intriguing stuff. And now he's on the show to talk a little ball with us. What's up, Brooks? You're right, man. I do feel very blessed and lucky to do this. Hell, like most people that are in media, they used to do something else outside of this and dream to have a microphone. I worked in construction the first five years I got out of college football. And I was like, no, I'm not doing this the rest of my life. And then maintained working in construction for the first three years of doing this little media journey because I was making pennies and dimes. So, yeah, I love my job. And I know you do, too. You're so passionate about what you do. And how could you not be? If you're not, go find something else to do. Go pack boxes, man. This is a dream for sure. Yeah, go play intramurals, brother. So, it's Brooks Austin. He's the film guy. Now, when we were texting last night and we were going to set up, and we're in a very exciting point of the year because Saturday opens the entire floodgates. And Saturday might not look that great on paper as far as matchups, but it's still a full day of college football, so we're going to be excited. You said, I can talk about how drunk I am on Camario Taylor hype. Now, I'm a Mississippi State fan, so I'm not going to subject people to that right now, but let's take that idea and expand it. Who are some other players that you're just drunk on? You're just, I can't get enough of this player. I can't get enough of getting to watch this player this year. Who is a Camario Taylor-like guy that you can't wait to see? Yeah, I mean, the world got introduced to JKS out there at Cal last year. We're going to get to see them against UCLA Saturday night in the Sickos matchup there at 1030 Eastern. That kid can flat out rip the football. And it's more than, like, I've never seen lefties that don't have funky spin. You know, like, everybody that's ever. Listen to a football coach says that lefty ball spins a little bit different, and it does. It tilts on an opposite axle than most right-handed quarterbacks. But having seen him throw the ball in person, somehow it doesn't tilt funny. It has a natural true spin to it, and he makes NFL throws left and right. I mean, Brian Harsin got absolutely crapped on during his time at Auburn. I thought he did a relatively decent job last year as an offensive coordinator, but I'm slap hammered on that one. Now, I had to go through, like, rehab. I had to go through a lot of processes with Lenora Sellers. Sure. I'm not going to lie to you. Mike Shula did that to me. I'm off the wagon on Sellers, by the way. I'm completely. I'm completely. I've picked the bottle back up myself, too. I'm like, damn it. I, oh, yeah. Last year, so many of us looked foolish coming the year with our top 10 quarterback list. And then, you know, Nussmeyer doesn't do well, and Klubnick doesn't do well, and Aller doesn't do well, and Lagway doesn't do well. And we all had him up there. But there's something about Sellers, man, where I just look at him like he's too talented. He's too talented to be mediocre two years in a row. So, I got the Sellers bottle in my hand. I'm sitting on the front porch. I'm watching traffic go by, and I'm just like, let me drink this thing because I know it's going to taste good. And I think all it took for me was Kendall Bryles. And, look, I think what we should have realized last year is if you would have sat me down and be like, hey, Brooks, are you sure about this? Like, dude, the new offensive coordinator hasn't called offensive play since 2016. And, by the way, he's never called them in college. I would have probably been like, all right. Maybe I do need to put down the sauce a little bit. But, no, all it took for me was Kendall Bryles, and I'm like, all right, I'm back off the wagon. Let's go. I'm here for the Lenore's train because he's just so uber talented, man. He's a lot of the same reasons I love Camario. Not as a pure and beautiful of a passer and throw of the football as Camario, but because it is kind of from the ear, man. He looks like a catcher back there, but he's built like a damn catcher, too. He's sick. 6'3", 246, and built like a brick shithouse. So, I'm back on the Lenore's train, and my loved ones are concerned. Don't get me wrong. They're like, hey, we kind of liked you when you were sober. But, yeah, I'm back on the Lenore's train. There's other guys that are coming into Power 4 football, like Byron Brown at Auburn. I go back and forth on him. I go back and forth on him because I'm just not sure. The main thing I think about with him is, did they bring in enough big-time Power 4 offensive talent to help him and to make – this offense has been such a mess. They lost Cam Coleman. I know the defense is bringing back a pretty good chunk there at Auburn, but I don't know if I can get all the way where a lot of other people are. Like, Byron Brown's going to tear it up at Auburn. The SEC, 16 teams this year. How many teams think they have a really good quarterback? 14 of them? Like, there's going to be some disappointed fan bases as far as quarterbacks go in this league, and I don't know. What do you think about Auburn, and what do you think about Byron Brown transitioning to this level? Yeah, so I think the – I think the physicals will translate, right? Like, they're going to translate when he inevitably becomes a tight end or gets asked to be a tight end in Sunday football, right? Six foot four and a half, 235 pounds, and it's one thing to be like, hey, he's a 4'4 runner in shorts and a t-shirt. Nowadays, like, we have GPS metrics. We know exactly how fast you are in pads on a Saturday, and that kid, I think, popped 23 miles an hour on the catapult last year in pads. Like, somebody that's that big, that fast, that athletic, that's going to be an essential be to tackle no matter what. So, from a running game standpoint, he'll be fine. That will translate. But, yeah, I mean, everybody knows. Everybody can see it. It doesn't take some ball knower to look at video of that guy throwing the football and go, ew. That looks like it. That looks like it hurts, man. But I will say this. Going back and watching their USF stuff, particularly against SEC opponents, you know, they are a wide-choice system, but I think they use the screen game way better than all these other guys. They have traditional halfbacks. They have tunnel screens, bubble screens, and that's, like, really hard to do when we're lined up outside the numbers. But I think that's Golish's kind of trick, and maybe he's figured that out because of, you know, the limitations that Byram has as a thrower, but they will be able to run the football as all these wide-choice systems do. Tennessee's been top three in the SEC since Heupel's been there. Your folks down there, Mississippi State, run the football despite the fact that they're down in a lot of football games over the last couple years. They can still run the damn ball. And Auburn will be able to run the football this year. It's just about, like, hey, are we going to be too limited of a thrower to be able to score enough points in this conference? When they got into those SEC, you know, battles last year at USF in the last several years, they really shrink the game, which is, like, opposite of what these normal wide-choice systems do. They're trying to take 80 snaps a football game. I think they took 65 offensive snaps against Florida last year. I don't know if you're going to be able to do that. Week in and week out, even with DJ Durkin as the defensive coordinator, I think you're going to go into some games where it's like, all right, boys, like, we got to score 35 points today, and we can't do it milking the clock and slowing things down. We got to play a little bit more pace, which ultimately might lead to a little bit more mistakes. But no, physically, he'll be fine. I don't know what we're going to see from a throwing standpoint. You're right about the skill position players. I think they brought over four of their top five receivers from USF, and it's like, I know the quarterback's big and fast. But our USF wide receiver is going to be able to get separation in this conference. That'll be a major question. Can Bryce Underwood, let me ask you a different way. Can Whittingham and staff reclaim Bryce Underwood and put him back on the path to unlocking that five-star potential that made him this huge, gigantic recruit? And can they undo a year of basically some of the worst coaching you'll ever see for a freshman quarterback have? Can Bryce Underwood be restored? And can he be put back on the path to where he should be going? You know, I released a film study on him and basically titled it like, they got to start from ground zero. Yeah, that's what I think. They just got to start all the way over. And I immediately started getting, you know, text messages and phone calls from people at the Michigan era or Michigan realm. And they were like, hey, that's kind of exactly what they're going to do. They're going to, you know, build him from the blocks up. And I'm like, that's great to hear. He was coached horribly last year, but was he coached at all? You know what I mean? Or were some of those bad? He wasn't, right? I'll just leave the witness there. He wasn't coached at all. He had no quarterbacks coached, according to Whittingham, and just developed bad habits that I think he entered college with. A lot of these five-star quarterbacks, that's why I'm so high on Keelan, because he's the antithesis of this. A lot of these five-star quarterbacks in high school are just getting buy-off traits. They're just out there running around, doing whatever the hell they want, because their arm can fix it. And it's like, hey, I'm going to have my feet parallel to the line of scrimmage, and watch me rip this dart. And it's like, that's cool. That's awesome. You're not going to be able to do that on a consistent level in college. And it sucked for him last year, because he was still doing a lot of these bad things and getting away with a lot of it. Sure. There's a play in the Cheez-It Bowl, Brandon, where his hips are completely pointed to the sideline, and he throws a damn 45-yard laser beam to the back pylon. And he does one of those type celebrations after the plate. It's like, cool. Yeah. glad you got away with that one but every fifth ball might be an interception and three of the five might just go god knows where it's awesome you did it once can you continue to repeat it um those are things i would imagine beckon and this offensive system are probably going to be grinding hard on i'm just bouncing all over the country just kind of following you because you mentioned keelan russell there's a thought process that oh now kaylin deborah's got his guy watch this five star keelan russell he's just going to go right in there now he's got his guy my issue with that and and i'm sure you got the film i'm sure you love the guy quarterback wasn't the issue quarterback wasn't the issue at alabama toughness was the issue the lack of of classic alabama football when they laid down against florida state and they laid down in the playoff game against indiana so convince me that the this quarterback can overcome that or or maybe i'm am i making too much of the toughness issue and i should shut the fuck up you don't have to cuss like me but that's fine no i mean i was wondering honestly i didn't watch it but i'm sure pate made you like not swear i was i was impressed you went an hour there apparently without dropping a fuck did you do that were you able to i did i and i and i hated it the whole time i hated myself did the chair have a shock feature on you like how did that work was that you're just disciplined no no i actually had a butt plug in the whole time and it would shock me if i said no um i uh i i just you know what i'm trying to do a face turn as well i'm trying to do this thing where i don't cuss as much because i do have some dads being like i'd like to listen to you in my car so my kid can listen uh now they're probably lying and don't even have a car and don't even have a kid but whatever trying to do a face turn trying to be a little bit better but sometimes you know especially on these saturday night shows i'm gonna be doing the recaps i'm gonna let it fly and i gotta be you but you gotta be you keelan russell but alabama yeah back back to the alabama thing does toughness just look like for you like when i think of like oh tough bully football like are they gonna be a tough bully football like are they gonna be a tough bully football like are they gonna be a inside zone run at your face football team i don't think that's what they ever want to be i don't think that's what kaylin deborah is i don't think that's what ryan grubb was if you or is if you watch them at washington they were a wide zone counterbase football team like they're trying to stretch the ball and then get north and south and i think that's why it took so long for them to be able to run the football and there's still questions about it right like we go into 2026 with tremendous amounts of questions about the offensive line um but they did throw new bodies at that brandon like they they had a uh a player personnel pool that did not match what they were trying to do schematically or what they want to be schematically i can tell you this right now i don't think ryan grubb and kaylin deborah ever ran duo which is a downhill run scheme when they're during their times at washington they get to alabama and their left tackle is 395 pounds during when he gets to camp and then it's like hey we gotta start losing some weight here um and the only guy they brought over with them from an offensive line standpoint that matched what they want to do is parker brailsford the center tremendous athlete you look at that roster this offseason they turned it over not just from a player personnel standpoint but they changed the coach to brought in seven new offensive linemen that are all athletic based uh you know attrition or uh acquisitions they're all guys that are really good athletes their profile said that they can move we'll see if that ultimately works out but i think it took a couple of years to kind of turn that roster over and and get players that they actually want to have run their types of schemes and they're not going to be so i'm a little bit more bullish that they're going to be able to run the football slightly better um and based off the fact that it simply cannot be much worse it simply cannot be much worse when when i turn them on on sunday nights last year half the time i would just throw my notebook down and go what the are we doing what like how do we not how do we not put hats on hats right like i don't have to be super football guru guy to explain this to the audience the five offensive linemen should block five people at least they should get five hats on five hats especially in pass protection and they couldn't do that they couldn't do the basic minimums last year and i at least appreciate about kalen something he did something that steve sarkisian did not do he fired the offensive line coach he watched that crap for 14 games and was like you're out of here bud i'm bringing in a new guy and brought in andrew clem the the nfl offensive line coach and at least change that up uh texas did not uh texas is rolling with it and they're not going to be able to do that they're not going to be able to do that with kyle flood for 1.8 million dollars for the third straight year so or however many years he's been there so we'll see add kyle flood to the coaches that don't make as much money as me um so this is where i'm at on alabama i'm just gonna make a statement on alabama that i'll move on um it's when you're in your third year's coach in the first two you already lost the toughness on the offensive and defensive lines those that really bothers me as a trend i don't need you to talk about more alabama that's kind of me and my thing i gotta get through with them because you know the skill talents there and and they're there's stuff there to like but i just i don't like him at all now two quarter two quarterbacks julian's saying dante moore to me they both had the same problem and it's a problem most quarterbacks gonna have because of the very nature of what i'm about to say uh dante moore was at his worst against the elite defenses when he when they played indiana both times he wasn't all that good when they played um when they played iowa last year on the road when played penn state on the road he just wasn't that good now he had moments in both those games where he led drives that were very important julian saying the same way got his worst game against indiana his worst game against the best defenses so my criticism both those guys as they try to lead their team so national title is they really weren't good against elite competition do you think that's a fair criticism of dante moore and of julian saying or is that just is that just duh everybody's worse against elite competition a little bit of dub but i'll start with julian saying like when i watch the indiana big 10 championship game and then watch the miami game i'm like well we talk a scar tissue at the quarterback position on our channel brandon like issues that get created over the year and then we watch the final game and it's like why are you bailing out of clean pockets and they're like well coach i haven't had a clean pocket all year right like i got a huge scar in my playing style that has been created because we have issues well with him with julian saying in ohio state those were fresh wounds those weren't scar tissue things they had the same amount of combined sacks in that miami and indiana game 10 that they had all year entering the game those two football games yeah they allowed 10 sacks so it was like brand new to him being on his back having to create with his legs having to make nfl pass rushers miss and then get flat keep my eyes downfield and continue to hunt the defense like that was brand new to that football player in his first year as a starting quarterback so i look at that and i guess i want more and i think ryan davin talked about that this offseason it's like hey what do you want to see from your quarterback well i want to see us be able to play outside of structure a little bit more i want to see him make us right when everyone is wrong type stuff right like i 100 agree with coach um and the film said that but when you look at those games you're like this is brand new to this kid he's been sitting pretty in pockets all year and now it's like everything's blown up everything's chaos they also sustain i believe ohio state fans will definitely correct us um i believe they sustained an injury at right guard during the michigan game and then had to had a brand new starter in the big 10 championship game and a brand new starter right there against miami so i would agree there it's it definitely has to get better i do like that julian's gotten bigger um he at least control what he can control from a horsepower standpoint look that kid's never gonna be six four he's never gonna be 230 pounds he's never gonna run a four or five but at least he did put on 10 to 15 pounds a lot of these college kids nowadays that make all this money brandon they don't get any better yeah they don't they physically they do not get better all the all the improvements come from playing time and i need you to handle some of this stuff in the game i will say about dante is like you mentioned the the big time throws he has more nfl throws on tape than anybody else like tight window anticipatory throws against zone structures like that dude has big time throws but the things that concern me about him is locked onto pre-snap reads way too much in a world of college football where we change a lot of the looks pre-snap and post-snap on defense so like prime example that that first interception against indiana i mean from the moment he takes the ball d'angelo pons knows he's throwing that speed and he's throwing that speed and he's throwing that speed and he's throwing that speed out yeah he's staring it right down uh and we end up picking that football off he had a very similar interception against jmu nobody remembers it because they were beating the hell up out of them but we're staring down a square in on our on our short side to our left side and we we completely missed the fact that a linebacker drops into the the hook curl zone there and we hit him right in the face from jmu and they end up taking it back and i think inside the red zone so those things and and we can get really really lackadaisical with our mechanics up there at again with dante where we've been god's gift to throwing the football for a long time um but even that like we can not very similar to the bryce underwood things but he's so gifted that he knows he can get away with things and five to six times a game he doesn't and the ball just doesn't zip out of his hands like it does every other rep for this kid so those would be moments of growth and i would expect from dante feel like there's a universally accepted tier of seven elite teams this year uh you can have some varying mileage on teams after that like a and m oklahoma and stuff like that uh those seven teams i believe are georgia and texas out of the sec indiana ohio state oregon out of the big 10 notre dame and then miami i feel like that is a universally accepted elite tier of seven teams uh i'll get to some more later but uh using those seven as as the elite tier right now if i told you i'm guaranteeing you one of these teams falls short of expectations and does not make the playoff, who do you think I would be talking about? Who do you think that'll be the the team we talked about in january is the team that did not live up to expectations and did not make the playoff man i've been hard on sark all offseason but it has to be them right like it has to be like there's but at this point brandon and i'm okay with being hated maybe not as much as you but at this point texas fans are ready to punch me in the mouth when they see me but yeah i i also don't like all the lip service from him this offseason like the guy like prime example two days ago he was like crossing his arms talking about how immoral this nfl stuff is and it's like buddy you got cole hudson on your roster yeah you at you at and i know cole hudson texas fans i know he did not sign an nfl contract i'm well aware he did not enter his name into the nfl draft but he still had an nfl jersey on him he still went to multiple otas he still tried to be an nfl football player and just wasn't good enough to be one and i also know he maintained his studentship status and was still in college class but i mean newsflash all these guys stay as students even when they go to the league when they leave early that's why we got these guys coming back two years into their nfl career walking across the stage getting their diploma that that is not the line of demarcation a lot of demarcation for me is you tried the thing with the nfl that should be done that that's that's at least my opinion on this whole nonsense but no the steve sarkisian lip service this offseason has confused me quite a bit um he's constantly sticking his foot in his mouth um and you know we we haven't we haven't gotten over that hump enough to to be out here wiling at the microphone in my opinion so there's also the reality of uh ohio state and texas like one of them teams is going to lose that game that means in week two you're going to be one and one and both of those teams are looking uphill at a schedule that is nasty as hell ohio state still has to go to indiana after that they still have to go to usc after that they still got oregon coming in and texas still has a mile of uh highway in front of them so one of we i don't know that we talk about it enough like one of those teams is really going to be behind the eight ball we saw texas last year they lost it now they weren't as good last year as they're going to be this year and that's fair and they also lost to florida i don't think they have a roster that would lose to a florida this year but like the cheese can slide off the cracker pretty easily for for one of those teams now i'm just going i'm all around the country right now uh i watched kurt cignetti they're certainly one of the seven national title contenders that i mentioned um but they're adding josh hoover and josh hoover is a turnover prone quarterback who at least in his career so far has has been responsible for a lot of turnovers cignetti seems like a coach that don't play that shit like if you're gonna make a lot of mistakes you're not gonna fucking play for me that's what he seems like is this marriage does it have a chance to be volatile or do you think cignetti fixes this problem and it doesn't become an issue i think the offensive scheme fixes the problem look kendall's great when he had kendall bryles that is is great when he has a quarterback that can actually run the football right you go back to those uh kj jefferson years at arkansas go all the way back 10 12 15 years ago to the rg3 days at baylor like when they have an athlete back there that can run around a little bit their offense is far more explosive and far more turnover prone um when they have almost like a statuesque non-athletic pocket passer um that system turns into air raid and error air raid can go real real south for a long time and they're from a turnover standpoint really quickly especially around a lot yeah yeah especially if we feel like we might have to score 40 today to go win a football game and we're going to be driving the football down the field then we're going to have to take risks with the ball and ultimately you know in order to win um whereas you look at that indiana offense and there's no there's no secrets about it dan orlowski uh was the national voice to kind of pull the mask off that offense during the nfl draft talking about ty simpson over fernando and his whole reasoning behind that was fernando doesn't play in an nfl system fernando's out here at indiana doing rpos 20 of his 30 dropbacks a game and the rest of its mesh or stick and it's like very basic progression reads where the nfl is far from that the nfl is like we're going to be progressive passer on almost every dropback we have apart from screen work at the line of scrimmage so i think the offensive system alone probably alleviates a lot of this also you're big on the indiana train i've heard lately um indiana is not one of these offense that offenses are you know football teams that tries to stretch the math they're actually trying to shrink it they play they their ideal football game is 60 offensive snaps like they they don't want to take 75 80 snaps of football games so we're going to limit the amount of times that we actually put this kid in a position to you know put the ball at risk with that rpo offense limiting time or you know or mastering time of possession shrinking the game all that good stuff and just out executing your butt left and right so i think it has far more to do with what we're going to ask the quarterback to do um as opposed to oh he had 52 total turnovers at during his time at tc or whatever the hell stat is so they don't ask these guys to do all that much other than be accurate with the football and put the shoulders put the ball on the back shoulder in an rpo format and newsflash he gonna be able to do that well also he can probably honestly struggle a little bit the defense is going to be holding the other team to 11 12 points a game and like probably get him through some early struggles but anyway uh we let's do a little week one let's do a little week one activity um let's take two random games both uh ranked matchups or not fully ranked but uh you got clemson at lsu you got louisville omiss on a neutral site if i guarantee you right now one of those uh one of those highly ranked sec teams is not surviving this weekend one of them is going down to their acc opponent which one would you say is more likely to do that i mean i know jack diddle about lincoln conholes but i'd probably take louisville to be omiss over clemson over lsu and one's a neutral site game one's in death valley the true death valley so like it's it's really not a a fair uh you know comparison in my opinion um but no i i'm a jeff braum believer i wouldn't say i'm like pounding the table for jeff braum it's like a top five football coach in college football but he does a whole lot more with a whole lot less as opposed to some of these football coaches some of these football coaches have 45 million dollar rosters in texas and they're not going to be able to do that so i'm going to say turn out nine and threes this guy ain't gonna do that um and i think it's gonna be really hard to get him out of there everybody knows that's his alma mater um but that that guy does a lot offensively that is very intriguing um and they're consistently good um i i was i was like double taking the television screen last year in the month of november when i'm watching a louisville game and they have a trivia question about what football coaches won the most games in the acc over the last three years and everybody's thinking dabbo sweeney mario crystal ball the answer was jeff braum um so this guy wins football games i would not be surprised if louisville finds a way to win that one my only thing about louisville is like can we figure out a way to get our best player a true workload without him getting hurt and that's the form of isaac brown uh last year isaac brown did not have a single football game with more than 16 attempts you ain't i don't know if you're gonna beat old miss on saturday with that he might need to be able to get a full workload here um almost that jeremiah love treatment without the secondary great bracken today or jadarian price like we we need you to take 20 totes today bud um if we're gonna win so i would take louisville over old miss before i took clemson over lsu do you have any other uh week one game you know it's not a great week one uh it's not a week one that's got a texas ohio state or that has anything um anything like that like oklahoma and michigan they're all in week two you have any other game in week one that nobody's got circle that you're like you know we better get some eyeballs on this something might happen here we already mentioned the ucla cal game i think that one's going to be very intriguing um especially again for the sickos that are up till two o'clock in the morning on the first weekend of college football watching that one um georgia tech colorado maybe like that one's tomorrow that one's i think during the you're releasing this on thursday that one's on thursday night yeah um but i i expect those are two really down bad rosters this year i mean i i know georgia tech's been up and i know brent key is is the guy and and that's his school and he's a culture of toughness and all that good stuff but go look at that roster and tell me if you know a name brandon hell i'll do it better liam is the ultimate knower of ball players go ask a liam blutman if he knows anybody on that georgia tech roster apart from mendoza's little brother and the answer will probably be oh i remember justice haynes yeah and then that that's about it the only problem is liam just majors in random guys that are from nowheresville virginia and he he will be able to pot he will know the backup left guard for georgia tech but he'll only know it for the sake of knowing it so i so you're fair you're fair enough on that um i guess i'm gonna do it i wasn't gonna rip the band-aid off give me a little camario taylor man give me give me a little oh let's do it preach to me sing to me let me let me but imagine i'm gonna i'm in a concert the the lights are off and you're about to play free bird and i take my lighter out right now give me a little come on yeah let's let's cut a clip right quick let's aura farm for brandon walker um camario taylor is the freakiest and traitsiest athlete to ever play quarterback in the wide choice offense yeah you look this you you go back into it you go back to ucf when they got dylan gabriel back there that dude's five foot ten he can sling a little bit but he ain't this you look at byron brown you're like man that guy's a great athlete guess what camario is and he can throw the football look at this um six foot four 235 pounds runs like a deer can stop on a dime can make every single throw in the world and here's what i love most brandon walker not just his loyalty but that young man's work ethic you watched him in high school football he didn't throw the football like this he did not look like this as a true thrower of the football when he was 18 years old it was it was ugly man it didn't look pretty now it looks pretty how did we get there through a copious amounts of work through copious amounts of work this kid here's where i break your heart this kid will be absolutely legendary this year and if he's not it's because everybody else around him was piss poor and he'll be in the transfer portal making eight million dollars in january why why did you do that i was just telling you to preach and i was uh you you know what you just did you know what you just did you were preaching and i was in i was i was in the choir and i was swaying and i was saying yeah i preach and and then at the end you said and it doesn't really matter because you're going to hell anyway well why would you tell me that why would you tease me with heaven just to say my ass is my heathen ass is going to hell hey look eight and four could be some holy water oh you'll take it buddy you'll take that angels are singing at eight and four buddy angels i do think this kid could be that good though we'll find out week two if it gets minnesota but i do think this kid could be that good that he drags that mississippi state roster to a seven or eight win season i'm cashing the over no matter what but it doesn't happen if it doesn't happen miami's gonna give that kid nine million dollars stop saying miami stop doing this okay is that my nightmare yes fine stop saying it stop saying it um also that roster is a little bit better than you'll get kelly jones is a is a first round pick uh isaac smith is a is a is a all sec type safety fluff bothwell can run the football like there's more there's more there than you're acting like there's there you heard it here first folks the diehard mississippi state fan just gave me three players two of which were defenders to uh talk about how much help camario taylor has you didn't even give me anthony evans no i was i was slow playing but i was a speedster at me you made a speedster at me maybe i tricked you into saying anthony evans you ever think about that well played okay fair enough all right i felt like i was talking to pate there a little bit you wanted to get a gotcha so bad that you forgot that you were making okay anyway uh by the way that ball nowhere sign do you sell those or that just is that just made especially for you yeah there's a lot of stuff around here that was made by listeners that gets sent in so you have you you have coaches that send you helmets i have listeners that send me love that's what we got going on so this buffalo was actually uh it's a live photograph shot in the wild by a listener he sent me that sucker uh this is a 3d printed ball knower that was sent to me by a listener um this is a a graphic on a poster that was sent to me by a listener so yeah we got oh the whole wall was done by a listener as well so we got a lot of cool stuff i get plenty of stuff sent by listeners i had some a listener the other day send me uh i think it was written in blood it was i guess a fordham university it said fu and i was like dude this is awesome so i have a fordham university in blood with my picture on it so pretty good pretty damn good uh let me tell you something before i go any further uh liam blutman is the ultimate ball watcher uh in in america i am the number one college football media personality but you this motherfucker right here knows ball dude this this i could sit here and listen to you talk ball all fucking day so shout out to you uh congratulations all your success i'm not done but i was just i just want to make sure i said all that before i keep going um a couple a couple more questions and then i'll let you get out of here i know your time is um half as valuable as mine so who have we not talked about yet who have we not gotten to around this country that is going to be okay look i gave you the seven teams i gave you the the miami the notre dame i gave you indiana oregon ohio state i gave you georgia texas as the seven teams i think on the elite national title uh who is who did i not mention that should be on that list well it's i don't think it's texas tech i don't think it's anybody out of the big 12 i agree shout out to the houston cougars yeah um sneaky sneaky you like them huh oh dude willie fritz a damn ball coach brother i agree ball coach um and they got some they got some money somewhere like they they got andre hearst that's a name you need to know an absolute dog of an interior offensive lineman you talking about a a clip farmer that dude puts folks on their backs for four quarters uh go watch that old miss football game and just look at number 52 the fire hydrant of a left guard um they're gonna be good this year they're gonna be tough to be always really good defensively i thought austin armstrong got a bad rap out there at florida during his time as a dc um but no i i don't think it's gonna be the fourth best team in the big 10 i i do think there is a gap right there um so i would look at a football team like oklahoma um just because you mentioned indiana last year right indiana defensively was absolutely insane they were a slobber knocker they could have scored 26 points per game offensively last year and still went 16 and 0 um i think oklahoma is that defensively the problem is last year they couldn't consistently score 26 offensive points per game yeah um this year i do think there is going to be a little bit more of consistency on the offensive end i don't think they're going to be so one-dimensional and explosive dependent which is what they turned into last year they couldn't run the football they couldn't protect their quarterback at a high enough rate and john matier was sitting back there going all right well i gotta be a superhero today and that's probably the worst case scenario for him uh because it's ultimately going to lead to a lot of turnover worthy play um so brought in two brand new tight ends that actually play tight end uh had three freshmen play on the offensive line last year that are going to be nfl football players for susie eddie pierre louis and i always forget the right guard's name it's something crazy and funky um despite the fact that my brain can remember for susie but i guess it just sounds cool um my questions there would be like are you explosive enough and good enough at the wide receiver position outside of isaiah satanga um but i would look at them because defensively and brandon i'm interested in your take on this i do think we're in a defensive era of football that nobody really talks about agree you look at those you look at those 21 and 22 georgia teams they know what michigan was in 23 that 24 ohio state defense was elite and last year you know indiana was a borderline historic despite the fact that they finished second in college football in total defense behind that ohio state team but we're in a defensive era of football and i think oklahoma is that on on the defensive side of the football you likened them to indiana and that's a good comparison i liken them to last year's miami team in the sense that this schedule for oklahoma i don't think it allows them to go 12 and 0 or 11 and 1 but if they can get to that 10 and 2 level that they can get to 10 and 2 and get like the 9th through 12th seed remember last year when miami went 10 and 2 they snuck into the playoff and then once they got to the playoff they just started absolutely wrecking people at the line of scrimmage just wrecked texas a&m wrecked ohio state absolutely we're destroying people that i believe is the recipe for oklahoma survive the regular season with 10 wins get to the playoff and just start throwing that defense around all of a sudden you're playing for a national championship that's who i compare them to because i think the path is very similar i like that they they don't have i don't think they have the elite edge rushers but david david stone's gonna wreck football games this year no doubt for sure yeah they're they're just gonna they're just gonna they're gonna be like going up against a brick wall they're not gonna be like gonna they're not gonna be a defensive that absolutely attacks you like with the missiles coming off the edge but it's gonna be you're gonna get tired of just banging up against that thing banging up against that thing all of a sudden you're in the third quarter you're down seven and you just have no hope and that's what i feel like oklahoma feels like now that is contingent on everything you said they gotta be the receivers have to come along because the schedule is is brutal and scheduling is the one i know you break down everything in college football scheduling i believe is the last ignored frontier where we just don't give it as much credit as we need to because since the 12 team playoff started six teams have gotten there based solely on their schedule like i think a&m last year was a schedule team they played for they played the playoff because their schedule was easy indiana the first year played in the playoff because their schedule was easy smu that year tennessee that year so um i look at that and i think we have a lot more schedule balance across this country you look in the big 10 oregon indiana ohio state usc there's just a magical mix of those teams playing this year and i don't think we have i don't know if we're going to have any schedule pretenders outside of if penn state makes a run oh there you go yeah yeah penn state's definitely got the schedule um yeah but i don't i don't know if i can fully get there with them i maybe talk me into it because i know they only have three really tough looking games on their schedule but like their their iowa state with some penn state mixed in i don't see that i don't see that as a recipe for for just dominating the other nine teams on their schedule somebody can get them right for sure i am a rocco beck believer um i think he's far he's a far better thrower of people realize but he just he turns it over too many times in big football games so everybody just backs away on that immediately but when i turned his tape on i was like whoa that ball jumps um much better much better throw over the football than than people give him credit for um but i'm with you it's hard for me to look at a team that i if you look at their their too deep their their starting lineup is filled their 22 starters is like 19 of them were on iowa state last year and they were fine they were seven and five fine in the big 12 it's like yeah come on uh i'm with you in that from that standpoint it's like i don't necessarily believe in them but they have an absolute crap show of a schedule and that's what happens when we have three and a half four and a half depending on the year good big 10 teams a great big 10 teams i shouldn't say good great big 10 teams in a conference that has 18 teams and they randomize the schedule like you're you're going to get the luck of the draw in these some of these times um and that's the situation that's where we're at well you know texas tech's got the 77th ranked schedule in the sport and uh uh roster disparity in that conference that is unmatched by anybody in football i mean they have so much more resources than everybody else in our conference you know this your listeners know this agreed uh i got a couple questions um number one did you wear that shirt to suck up to blutman today no i wore it to suck up to bob chesney because good lord that man is handsome okay fair enough no no yeah but shout out to blutman uh you know i figured i had a couple options to rock today i figured i have a rule you send it i wear it except for your merch i don't know if i'm rocking brandon walker football show stuff but well that's because you haven't seen the shirt i'm working on bud i'll text it to you you know what fuck you i'll text it to you right now i want you to see this i haven't shown it to anybody else i'm showing this to anybody else it's going to take me just a second to pull it up here can't wait to leak it onto the time no don't leak it don't leak it because when you see this i'm i don't want to overreact you're going to shit your pants on camera where the fuck is our group chat uh lukey where is it uh is it a cartoon train why don't you just settle down for a second why don't you settle down and let me send you the damn thing there's the bwc show um i figured i figure you copy everything that god does so you might as well copy his merch when have i ever fucking copied josh pate you tell me that when have i copied josh pate i had the brandon walker football show when he was still doing his goddamn late kick that nobody liked and then he changed his to josh pate show when have i ever copied him look tremendous amount of respect for you but in your announcement that you were going to do this you basically said i see josh pate's success and i want to copy him that i didn't say copy i said i wanted to basically that's i'm paraphrasing you basically you have to understand in the in in the viewer's viewpoint that's kind of what we heard but it's okay i'm copying him too i see what he wants and i want the mountaintop don't don't i'm fixing to dock your fucking phone number that's what i'm about to do i'm gonna your fucking phone number all right um here we go you ready i'm ready yeah you tell me if i god damn it old man old man is old man and his phone where is our group shut up shut up i'm not copying anybody i'm not time out time out give me give me 20 struggles with phone and shouts at clouds we're we're we're clipping it give me give me a 20 you can't clip my show who told you you can hook up you can clip my show you're right you're right that's on me that's on me i don't care if you clip my show you have my i'm sorry boss i'm tired but that's what i feel like with this phone right i'm tired boss all right here we go what's your name brooks austin more commonly known as the film guy you can subscribe on the film guy network at any moment yeah you're welcome for that uh live one day through thursdays eight o'clock ten o'clock uh i want you to look at this i've got it it's loaded there now you tell me if i have just designed the best piece of merch in college football it's not bad you're goddamn right it's not bad um it's not bad we'll have to show that to the audience too uh some sometime here in the future um i'll send you one of those how about that you told me you started this whole digression by saying i'm not a fan of college football i'm not a fan of college football saying i would never wear your merch now i'm gonna ask you would you ever wear my merch i mean the front of it is a little milquetoast but that's okay everyone shows up for the back right i'm a i certainly do i'll just right i'll just do my show like this i'm a i'm wearing it i'm a 47 year old white guy from west point mississippi milquetoast is what i'm aiming for um all right let me ask you a quick question you're the film guy what's your what's your process like let's let's get in your head uh there will be um 80 75 uh division one football games this saturday yeah you can't watch them all you can't break down break them all down on film so what's your process you show up to sunday after a day of football what how do you how do you do it how do you break it all down yeah i obviously take the biggest games of the week things that i know people are going to watch things that i know people are interested in and then i combine that with things that i'm interested in but from an actual film process standpoint i don't have pff i don't have the fancy cut-ups like i have base old school stock all 22 i don't have the fancy cut-ups like i have base old school stock all 22 i have if they take 75 plays on offense and 67 plays on defense i got play number one through 75 and i sit there with my little ipad and i go play by play and i chart and i take notes and i grind that shit out it i my my app that i have for film brandon and i'm not patting myself on the back but i am um my my app tracks as much like how much film i'm watching throughout the week uh last year during college football season i was watching 36 hours of film from sunday morning until wednesday afternoon um and then starting it all over again come the next week so yeah we we we grind a lot of tape our little saying is shut up and grind the tape but that's the way i do it i don't know how to do it any other way um it's it's my little niche and it's it's what i feel like i do best personally um from an education standpoint so that that's my process what do people i know what what are people interested in what am i interested in sit down put it on the projector and go to work that's the only way i know how to do it and what i said was i have been doing i've been doing a podcast with multiple other people about college football for seven years with casey smith god bless her a great friend of mine t bob was on it last year blubman uh big f and what i said was i see josh paid out there with one camera one mic and it's just him talking about it and he gets to say whatever he wants he doesn't have to hear anybody else talk that's what i wanted and that's what i'm doing so uh you know what the gravy train for you guys out there is all over because brandon walker's on the scene by himself so these hoes around here okay so so that's what i gotta say about that i didn't copy nobody i'm brandon fucking walker at a boy i'm so glad i'm so glad football season's back i can also hear a lot of 90s wrestling in you too you just you just cut a little heel tape that's nice that's nice my entire career is a little heel tape um all right how do we want to wrap this up so so week one is here um i'll just let you take it anywhere the 2002 this is going to be as as generic as it is so you you got to do bring a little talent here to the the four and show me what you got the 2026 college football season will be known as the season of what uh a nine and three team making it from the sec making it over a 10 and two penn state that is what we will be irate about in december nine and three texas nine and three texas will get into the college football playoff over a 10 and two penn state and people's heads will explode and they will blame espn all about arch manning and this is only because of the college football season so you got to do it bring a little of the manning family i'm telling y'all right there i'm telling y'all this guy's a fucking dude that's such a pointed and perfect prediction because that 10 and two penn state team will be so fraudulent and that nine and three teams going to have been through so many wars but i'll say this before i go the sec doesn't have enough oxygen in the room to support all these teams that think they're going nine and three or better georgia thinks they're going to the playoff texas thinks they're going to play off a and m thinks they're going to play off ole miss thinks they're going to play off oklahoma thinks they're going to play off and i'm missing a very obvious one there's at least seven that lsu the lsu tigers thank you lsu all seven of those teams believe right now there's nothing standing between them in the playoff guess what there's seven of them teams and then there's another five or six that have the capability of beating any of those seven so somebody's getting fired that we don't know somebody the bottom's falling out for somebody brooks this is about to be a crazy three months most likely yep no doubt um we're in an era of sec football where everybody can pay and it's all about crowdsourcing passing the hat getting our roster up to a talent level and a spending level that we believe is is competitive which creates a lot of false hope uh because we spend a lot of money which means we got a good football team and we demand that we make a playoff and not everybody can go only about four of you can and you're right there's about seven of them that think this is our year so so you you've already you've made the mistake of telling me you're you're making the mistake of telling me you're you're making the mistake of telling me you're i will be sending you a nude picture of myself um maybe just topless but that if that is not uh on your set in the next three months we we have an official issue i mean i'm ready to have an issue if you want one okay i didn't exactly scare him listen uh this guy knows what the fuck he's doing this this guy is uh this guy's awesome the film guy is brooks austin you guys if you watch my show i'm sure you know who he is uh but i want to give him even more of an endorsement than that this guy is awesome i'm sure you know who he is but i want to give him this guy this guy is this guy's the fucking truth so thank you for doing it and hopefully a couple more times during the season we'll uh we'll do it again no doubt b walk shout out to blumman we'll see you all right thanks all right so we interview the most important people in college football because i am the number one media personality in college football and i was as impressed as anybody with virginia the other day the transfer quarterback from missouri and penn state he's with us now it's bo perbula guy was everywhere saturday only threw it 11 times because he told me before i'm only going to throw it 11 times so dude just just just watch this anyway bo what's up man how was saturday what's up thanks for having me me uh it was great um the atmosphere in charlottesville was awesome um team came to play um and just you know happy that we're one to know after week one i think this is a perpetually underrated team i think they were underrated last year they won 11 games then they add you you know what's what's going on in charlottesville right now why is why is everything so hot over there you know i think i think it all starts with coach e um and his culture and kind of what he's built here and his vision for uva um kind of you know when he took over a couple years ago it definitely wasn't what it is right now and it's just kind of been on an upward trajectory you know since he's gotten here and that all starts with um kind of what he believes in and his core values and that's it's building champion men you know you want to win football games but um it's about doing it the right way and building you know a program from the ground up you know you've you've done the transfer thing a couple times now when you when you were going out there looking at your options and uh knowing that you had one more year to do this thing uh what were you considering and why was it coach elliott that that was the one thing that you were considering and why was it the one that that sold you on his vision i think what i just told you as far as his culture um and and what he does but also sitting down um you know with the offensive coordinator coach kitch here and my quarterback coach coach lamb um and kind of you know watching film and seeing what what their offense is like and how that you know how we would fit into each other's schemes and kind of you know what i do best and and what fits me and i think one of the best things about working with coach kitch is that he kind of you know builds off of of what i've ran in the past and things i've been comfortable with um and and what kind of fits my skill set and i think that that's been huge so far i know you you can run the football and you you the other day it was incredible you're just running all over nc state uh but the idiots online and and will say oh yeah he can run it but he can't throw it and to that i say yeah he he can definitely throw it what do you say to those idiots yeah i mean nothing externally um really kind of affects me at all i don't i don't read it any of that stuff i don't you know i don't look into any of that stuff so it doesn't really um kind of impact impact me internally i read everything externally if somebody says something about me online i see it in seconds you're a you're you're you're you're you're a better man than i am that's your job though that's your job to read that stuff yeah you probably knew you were a better man before you even came here uh have you considered uh i'm sure you have but uh let me ask you this you started your career penn state coached by james franklin now you're at virginia tech you guys are going to end the season uh as arch rivals looking across the field from each other have you considered what that's going to feel like yeah i mean that's definitely uh you know one of the games on our schedule last game of the year it's a big one for us but for right now i mean it's on to on the week two for us you know it's uh i know that last year virginia won 11 games played for a conference championships but it feel still feels like outside of the building there's not a whole lot of belief in virginia and i don't know why that is do you guys talk about that inside the building and about building the building and i don't know why that building uh do you talk about the fact that nobody believes in you or are you just totally 100 internally focused no no that's not something we talk about um you know it's completely internally focused what about so i know you you know you were in missouri last year uh i thought you know i know you had a little bit of injury problem there in the middle of the season um what led when you decided to leave missouri and you decided to go on do you do you look back at your time at missouri as a as a mistake or a building block how do you look back at it uh i'm definitely grateful for my time there i had a lot of fond memories there you know as my first year as a starting quarterback um you know i got the opportunity to be you know a starting quarterback there for the first time um in the sec and it was a great experience so i'm glad that you know i was able to go there and that's you know helped shape me into the person i am today now let's talk about uh the the the way you lied to me bo because you told me uh you told me when we sat down you said oh i'm sorry i gotta go to class uh you're a senior you don't you don't go to class it's online class yeah okay all right you said you said i gotta go and there's just no way you gotta go you definitely have lunch or a nap you gotta get to it's definitely lunch for sure okay yeah there we go let's just all tell the truth what do you think of charlottesville so far you've had a couple stops it's a it's a pretty cool college town huh it is yeah i do like charlottesville um there's a lot going on outside the university here um just within the town itself so i've enjoyed being here back on the east coast kind of more what i'm familiar with and i've enjoyed it so going forward you know you say you're giving me the right answers you know week two is all we're focused on week three and then week four you'll go on uh but what is the what is success the rest of the season look like to bow perbula i think you know for me and for our team just you know being the best that we can be um and and that's just working every day to to to be the best we can be because if you know we put you know lofty goals up in the air you know we we lose focus so just trying to remain focused on what's the most important thing and that's practice tomorrow on our bi-week when you go to a when you go into a game like if i told you going into the nc state game all right you're going to run this many times and you're going to you're only going to throw it 11 times do you do you like that would you like to throw it more or is it just whatever whatever it takes to win a football game you know and that's that's kind of the mindset i had going into this game and that's really the mindset i have going in every game you know if i have to run the ball a hundred times if i have to throw the ball a hundred times whatever works you know i just want to put points on the board i just listen you can you can talk you can talk to me it's it's brandon okay you don't want to run the ball a hundred times a hundred times it's crazy i mean we don't run a hundred plays in a game um so i mean it was a bit exaggerated but but seriously like if i have to if i have to put my head down and run the ball yeah do whatever it takes uh to the to the ladies that are watching um what does like to do off the field big golfer love to golf um get on the links um you think you can beat me what do you shoot uh i'm between 85 and 90 pretty much right now okay that's that's kind of the range i sit in um i think i could beat you yeah i figured you did i figured you did and uh i know that you can beat me so i don't even know why i brought it up because i also lied uh i don't know why i said 85 i haven't seen 85 all summer i thought i would but my driver's just it just it's just not turning over the way it should late in the summer it's just it continues to slice and i can't putt anyway uh i did want to talk to you about these things today about me putting and everything like that um so going forward uh for virginia for everything um i know that uh you know nfl futures or whatever do you do you focus on developing uh things they might like to see or do you focus on only doing things virginia needs uh for me right now it's only doing things virginia needs um and that's you know doing anything i can to win do you do you make anything of because i know you're never going to face this situation probably but like the guys who have gone to nfl camps and are now coming back and there's this big fight in college football about eligibility what do you make of all that controversy and is that something that crosses your desk i have no idea i mean i guess it kind of crosses my desk but yeah is it affects me in some way maybe yeah i honestly don't really know what's going on with all that stuff and i'm not sure if anybody else does either so but right now i just kind of go with the flow i got to be honest bo that's the correct answer i am paid to do this uh not as handsomely as you are but i am paid to do this and i'm paid to do this and i have no idea what's going on with that crap it's just absolutely absolutely crazy and i don't even try to pay attention anyway bo i know you got to get to class or lunch or whatever you got to do i know you got to get a quick nap before practice because you don't want to talk to me um but uh i appreciate you talking to me and i thank you for your time i appreciate you thanks for having me uh all right that's bo perbula uh current heisman leading uh quarterback but that's because nobody else has played so uh let's see if he holds on to that lead thanks bo thank you
