Nightcap Hour 1: Arch Manning NOT ENOUGH vs Georgia + Bama Ryan Williams FALLING OFF + Texas A&M Trooper SHOVES Players

22:55Shannon Sharpe:No, no, because like you said, Johnny, that's the number 11 seed. Go ahead, number 11 team in the country. Even though the number 11 team in the country, especially when it comes to the playoff, they still have two losses. Do they take that into consideration at all, or is Oklahoma going to be a team that could – Well, OU has two losses, and Alabama has two losses, but OU beat Alabama. I beat you head to head. And they're both in. Okay. Yeah. I thought Ty Simpson was a little off today. He missed some throws today. He had Bernard wide open in the middle of the field, and I don't know if he was throwing it to him or he was throwing the guy running the end cut in the end zone, but he was way over.

23:30Shannon Sharpe:But I don't care what anybody says. Alabama fans, y 'all been getting on Ocho and I. Something is going on with Williams. Ryan Weaves is not the same, Ocho. He's not. He's not, Ocho. He's not. You see it. I see it. Johnny see it. Everybody sees it. And don't give me this. That offensive line hasn't been good all year. I don't want to hear nothing about no offensive line. Well, he ain't got no receivers around him. Oh, he got other good receivers around him. So does Jeremiah Smith. And Jeremiah Smith shows up every week and he makes plays. Ryan Williams, I don't know if he's injured. I don't know if he has something going on outside of football.

24:07Shannon Sharpe:I just know the guy that I saw last year, I don't even recognize this guy right now. I'm not sure what's going on. It has to be something away from the field. It has to be something off the field. I hope he didn't allow the stardom, the fame, in such a short amount of time to get to him where he has somewhat of a lack of focus and forgot the basic fundamentals of how you got where you are right now. To be as young as you are, you should be legitimately the second-best college football receiver in football, period. And it shouldn't be close. I mean, behind Jeremiah. He's not even top 10 in the SEC right now.

24:46Shannon Sharpe:He's not. I tried to tell Ocho this, Johnny. He's not even the best receiver on his own team. Bernard is better than he is. Harden is playing better than he is. I get who he is and what he is, and maybe what he is translates better to the NFL. But right now, if I just take him, and you don't know anything about it, and you just watch these guys play, just watch them play this year, and you don't know anything about Ryan Williams, you don't know what he did last year, there is no way you're thinking two is better than one in five. I have one thing in his defense. I have one thing in his defense.

25:21I will say if Lane Kiffin was the coordinator of this team offense, he would have a play or two dialed up against the coverage. They know they're getting on third and five to seven. They know they're getting this. There is a route and a play schemed up for him to get him the ball. I don't see that shot that they're trying to take. They get sacked or it's an overthrow or it's just a different. I don't see them even attempting that shot, which would say, are they really scheming for Ryan Williams? So what goes on behind the scenes? How does his practice look? Because whatever it is, his situation in Alabama right now is disgruntled as it can be.

25:59But I still don't see them trying to get him the ball.

26:02Shannon Sharpe:I can agree with that. But my thing is, Ocho, you've only thrown the guy. the guy has two targets and on fourth the most important player of the game that's who you're going to you you got to make that make sense to me Ocho now if that's Jeremiah Smith if that if that's Ryan Williams of last year I got no problem whatsoever with that call but based on what you've seen this year and what you've seen in this game that makes absolutely no sense but based on what he did last year and understanding you know what he can do once he gets his hands on the ball then I'm taking that chance. I'm taking the opportunity because based on what he's done you can't think like that you can't think like that especially okay he hadn't played well all year let's say he hadn't played well all year right so if you're playing basketball you got a three point shooter and you know he can shoot but he's in a goddamn slump do you tell him to stop shooting?

26:55No you continue to give him those opportunities to allow him to shoot the ball they felt

26:59Shannon Sharpe:no no no hold on no I don't tell Steph Curry to stop shooting. But if it's Ryan Williams, based on what I've seen this year, this ain't no, Ocho, if this was an isolated incident, if this was one bad game, what have we seen throughout this season that tells you that's the guy on fourth and four, on fourth and four, fourth and five, I think they need to see it was fourth and five. So what makes you think based on what you've seen in this game, what you've seen throughout the totality of this season, yeah, I trust him. You do know he's their most explosive player despite the way he's playing this year, right?

27:32he's their most explosive player despite the way he's playing this year. You know that, right? That's why they took – Ocho, I got a Bugatti that won't frame. What good is that? They know he's their most explosive player. He hadn't played well this year based on our standards, based on what we saw last year. But the team and the play caller and the quarterback also know in this opportunity, in this scenario, we want to go to him because we think he can make that play.

27:57Shannon Sharpe:I'm confused. Maybe, Johnny – go ahead, Johnny. Johnny you muted Johnny muted Oh other than I hope he's open They ain't going to him for nothing They ain't getting him the ball for nothing If they get press man On fourth and six And he's got somebody up in his face He's good enough to where it should be Look at him you better run the fucking go And you better win back shoulder or over the top He's supposed to be that guy Because if I'm at Ohio State And they press Jeremiah Smith They press him, and I look at him. He's getting the ball. Tell him to hit the goalpost with the head. He might strike up the band.

28:34What do we talk about? Every time. And if we don't complete it on fourth and six, we walk off the field with our head high. This is the Ryan Williams we expect. That's crazy. He should be the guy getting 11 targets a game. He's getting four, five.

28:48Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, we just talked about it last week. There were times he wasn't even in. He was just coming in on third down. Now, maybe he's injured. Maybe they're trying to protect him. Maybe he has a shoulder injury. Maybe there's something going on that we don't know. But based on what we've seen this season, he's not even close. Even if he could come out this year, which he can't, he has done so much damage to his draft stock, he would actually need to come back just to improve it. I don't know what's going on with him. I would love to talk to him. Ryan, if you see this, I mean, if anything, it got to be confidence.

29:22It got to be his confidence shot. Something's going on. I don't know what it is, but I would love to talk to young boy. Ryan, if you see this, man, holler at your boy. I'm easy to reach. I'm easy to reach. You know how to get a hold of me. You know, love conversation. You know, none too tough. Just to make sure, you know, everything's still, you know, on the up and up. All this here is for the love of the game. Eli Bowens is the guy that read that feedback, 87-yard pick six. Go ahead, Johnny. All this here for the love of the game. We're just trying to spit some game, help a brother out. We sit here and look at the game in the way that we see it because we know what people expect of you.

29:56We know what you expect from yourself. And all we can do now at the point of the life that we are at is try and give back some free game to the cats who can need it. So this is a reaching hand from the nightcap to say, my brother, you're colder than this. For real.

30:11Shannon Sharpe:That's it, Johnny. What you put on tape this year, we know, us three know, you're better than that. And like Ocho said, hey, if you need to talk to somebody that played that position at an elite level, Ocho phone line is always open. Especially somebody. Hell, I'll talk to you. I don't know. If guys reach out to me, I mean, mainly it's really never been college guys. It's always been guys in the league. I really didn't have a problem. They asked me, said, what you see? What's going on? What am I doing wrong? Blah, blah, blah. Okay, so, but I don't really, I don't like to infringe because, you know, oh, now I'm doing this and now you want to insert yourself.

30:50Shannon Sharpe:Now, if you reach out, obviously you feel that there's something I can help you with. But based on the guy that we know and what we've seen, we think he could be special. Because he had that potential last year, and now I don't know what has happened. And the funny thing about it is special is an understatement based on what we saw. Do you understand? You know how many college teams it is in the NFL? I mean, in the NFL. How many college schools there are? He was – Oh, yeah. I think it's what, 110, 112, 115? Legitimately, all jokes aside, as a freshman, the second best player in the nation. At a position.

31:29Shannon Sharpe:At a position. Well, he was definitely, he and Jeremiah Smith, you had McMillan at Arizona, was sensational. You had Trav at CU, was sensational. But Ocho, it's hard to say. As a freshman, yeah, I say he was the second best freshman. He was a top five receiver. He was a top five player in his position based on what he was doing last year. And to come back and to see this precipitous dip, if there's an injury or there's something going on off the field that we don't know about, whatever the case may be, if it's off the field, hopefully he gets rectified. He's talking to someone that can help him get in the right frame of mind, the right headspace, and do what needs to be done.

32:09Shannon Sharpe:Because we understand sometimes things can happen off the field, Ocho. That definitely impacts your play on the field. So whatever the case may be, we hope this young man gets it figured out because he's too good of a talent, too good of a talent to be floundering around. And like you said, Johnny, maybe they need to find a better way to get him to football. But I can't get you to football. As my coach used to say, son, I can't get you to football if I throw it to you and you throw it back at me. I'm deadass over here just on chat GBT trying to figure out what precipitous means, but I figured it out now.

32:43Shannon Sharpe:That's a new one I'm adding to my vocabulary for sure. Alabama has two games left. They have Eastern Illinois, and then they're on the road at Auburn, which is the Iron Bowl. And right now they still have a chance to maybe make the college football playoff, but if they lose to Auburn, everything's out the window. Yeah, for sure. I think this is a game they need to come out and really maybe even try and put some style points on it and win this thing by 17, 20-plus. Throw it out, huh? For them to really assert themselves and put themselves in the middle of this thing and be like, okay, we deserve here.

33:17They need to go on to the Iron Bowl on a primetime game and make a statement. They'll probably get in regardless because they are Bama in their pedigree and their history and they're a good football team, better than some of these other teams that may limp in. So I think they deserve to go. Losing to a team that is 11 and also going to get into the playoff. I think it adds more chaos. I think it's a matchup, obviously, with the way the game turned out tonight, that we would want to see a rematch up.

33:43Shannon Sharpe:Had they won that game, I I don't think it would have been matter because look at it. They got victories over number five, Georgia. They got victories over number 16, Vanderbilt, number 14, Missouri, number 11, Tennessee, and then they would have beaten number 11, Oklahoma. So they would have had one of the most impressive resumes that anybody can trot out there. Nobody would have had a resume quite like theirs. Demo's. For sure, Demo's. So no one would have had a resume like that, Ocho. You look at what and run that gauntlet to beat Tennessee, Oklahoma. Well, they lost to Oklahoma, Tennessee, Missouri, Vanderbilt, and Georgia.

34:20Shannon Sharpe:And they beat Georgia, Vanderbilt, Tennessee, Missouri in consecutive weeks. They beat Georgia, beat Vanderbilt, beat Missouri, beat Tennessee. Bro. But Ty, look, Ty was not as accurate as he normally is today. the offensive line has been bad. The right tackle is not very good, and I'm being kind. I'm being kind because he is, you know, he ain't getting no NIL money. I know that. But anyway, he's still, you know, he's 18, 19 years of age. It's bad. It's bad. And plus, stop all that scat protection. They're breaking your scat protection down because there was one time when he got hit, they slid.

35:06Shannon Sharpe:They had three guys blocking one. and the guy ran right through and hit number four, Hill. Bro, I'm trying to figure out how you miss a read that bad. You got a blocker in front of you, and then you run into the tackler, and then the next play, you let the slot guy blow you up and sack the quarterback in consecutive plays. Ocho know a little bit about this because he may have had to be hot and have a quick little look every now and then, but you know enough about it, Shannon, to know that if you start off a game and you can't get your scat, empty protection type of scheme down, you're going to have a long day.

35:43And to be honest, Ty Simpson and what he's about to go through going to the league, he needs to know and he's good enough to have the ability to get up there and go, yo, yo, yo, yo, flip this, flipper, flipper, flip this around. You have to. And be like, yo, worst case scenario, let's find the meanest dog in the world, slide everything to him, and just pick a stick aside and throw it quick if they're sitting on it you figure it out as the game goes on but you have to have answers that you're talking about at the end of every drive that's coaching you know we hit three different points tonight with alabama that gets back to one thing coaching a saban team didn't do

36:21Shannon Sharpe:that no i think the thing is is that look if proctor is what you believe he is mainly not nine times out of ten you should slide the protection away from him and leave him one-on-one and that way you slide the protection out running backs you block your way out you're the way we did it Ochoa and Johnny let me know what you think about this the way we did it we would always tell the back you're dead last in the read block your way out do not be in a hurry to get out because you're not first second or third you're the fourth in the read so block your way out and if somebody coming in i'm watching guys getting out bro you last in the progression why are you in such a hurry he's going one two three and maybe dump it down to you he might go one two three they want that pill they want the ball if they come if they come off too early they they're gonna cover they self.

37:20You're going to cover yourself anyway. But and guess what?

37:24Shannon Sharpe:I can't get you the ball if I'm on my back. I love a running back that turn around and check three, four times, do the huh, huh. And then get out. I'm all about that. Yes. Longer the shorter. You're good at my book. You can get next to me on third down anytime. And you run by a guy that ends up bringing pressure. You see the guy, you run by like, oh yeah, I'm about to get this rock no bro you last but like i say see ocho i'm telling you why i can't coach i mean that's the whole that's the whole point you seeing what they're not doing based on what you already know but if you were the coach they probably wouldn't make that mistake because maybe you can maybe you can teach it maybe you can teach it because you've done it before and it registered a little bit differently than the coaches that are actually there right now all right and you don't don't miss your calling i'm telling you now these opportunities continue to open up and god and And listen, God keep knocking on the door, and you ain't answering it.

38:21Shannon Sharpe:I'm telling you. Ocho, you have to realize in the era in which I grew up how coaches work when you made a mistake. Oh, you could do the eight. You might make that first one. I guarantee you wouldn't make another one. You could take that same concept, that same attitude, that same philosophy, and use it in today's era. It don't work in 25. They're too soft, boy. They're too, hey, I'm more along the lines of Bobby Knight. I grew up with that kind of. Ocho, man, it wasn't up for the coach to grab you by your face, mess, and smash your ass off the field when you dropped the pass and made a mistake.

38:54Hey, yeah, that ain't, they don't work today, on.

38:58Shannon Sharpe:And you try to walk, you try to walk past, he grab you by your pants and damn this, hey. Hey, I remember them days. Hey, man. You on the ground, the coach pick you up, pick you up by your pants, pull your whole jock strap off. He got your jaw scrapped in his head. He done pick you up by the back. It's just, man, it's a different era. You guys are right, man. It's a different era now. Copenhagen's Spit Free packs American-grown tobacco into pouches.

43:10Shannon Sharpe:aggies erase a 27 point halftime hole i think if i'm not mistaken it's the largest comeback this season. It is the biggest comeback in Aggies history. They shut out the Gamecocks in the second half and scored 31 unanswered points. The largest comeback in the victory in the FBS this season. It's the largest comeback in an SEC game in the past 20 seasons. SEC teams have lost 286 consecutive games dating back to 2004 when trailing by at least 27 points. A &M moves to 10-0. Ocho, your guy Marcel Reed, 22-39. 439 yards, three touchdowns, two interceptions. Hey, our guy KC Conception, seven catches above 58.

44:00Shannon Sharpe:Bethel, four catches, 139. Williams, three for 50 in a tub. Bo Kircher, three for 40 in a tub. He had to throw it. Running was not going to get them back in the game, and plus Carolina was doing a great job shutting down the run, Johnny. 29 rushing, 64 yards. Yeah, minus nine yards. If you guys were going to win this game. Minus nine yards a half. Minus nine. I'm sitting in that stadium. I'm like, man, what we've been seeing from them is pounding the rock. That's what we've been going to. All that play, all that scheme for the week is out of the building. Early in the first half, so many uncharacteristic plays from this offense.

44:37Concepcion dropped the ball in the end zone for a touchdown because he jumped, and he never does that. We had a third down drop. We kicked the field goal from the two-yard line and miss it. We missed two or three field goals in the first half. Everything goes wrong. I'm sitting in that stadium at halftime. Boy, I'm walking around the stadium telling people, it happened again. This is some Aggie shit if I've ever seen it. They come out, really do lock in in the second half. That defense was not the same defense from the first half. that long touchdown they gave up number eight broke it ran up the tunnel and then ran into the cup that we haven't seen a and them they yeah they've given up some gashes but that was just they got out first time we've seen them get out speeded i guess you can say but man what an adjustment at halftime that's good coaching elko came out and dialed in unbelievable steam lenora sellers look like a different person you got pressure on him he sat there all first half and just padded that rock boom i'm gonna hit the corner versus cover three because the guy doesn't drop deep enough boom i'm gonna take this and pull this for 26 it was all south carolina you turn around marcel reed mike elko in the locker room true story he goes man our quarterback he uh i think he was playing for the other team in the first half i go probably right coach he goes but in the second half he got it figured out just the locker room after being there for such a game like that man uh it's a great day when the longhorns go down and the aggies are on top let's get it somebody need to explain to me

46:19Shannon Sharpe:i i don't want to get into the whole thing because maybe people think i'm gonna in carolina and gamecock fans but i need to know somebody need to tell me what what am i missing about lenore sellers ocho is fourth and six and he gets sacked going out of bounds Throw the ball up. Who cares? Who cares if it's complete or not? You cannot take a sack on fourth down, young man. You can't do that. Like Johnny said, he looked like a different person. I don't know what he was doing. Lenore Sellers has been bad all year long, guys. That's not hyperbole. This is no embellishment. He hasn't looked good. and I think a lot of it had to do because there was a lot of praise about Lenore Sellers and he might go somewhere else and somebody got an $8 million NIL deal bro

47:18Shannon Sharpe:maybe it's just me I still got faith with all that being said I still got faith in him I think if he really buckles down and takes all that and sets it aside he's another player that we look at not as like sure as I am with like Ryan Williams that he's going to be really good but in my opinion being around enough quarterbacks I think Lenore Sellers Sellers still has enough potential to go out and come back next year and have an unbelievable year he's huge on the field in real life he throws it nice it comes out of his hand it's just when things are going really well it's easy for Lenore Sellers to go really well he's able to get the run game and that motion and everything is mixing him up and he can scramble and slide.

48:03They did a fake reverse pass that he caught. They really emptied the clip in the first half, for real. So you see the potential. And then when the chaos comes and the bullets flying and you're in the trenches and you got the pew, pew, pew, pew, it's a different guy. And that comes with time. And it comes with being comfortable in an offense to where you know where to get out of stuff and what to do. And really, it's when the fire gets hot, he really starts to panic. And you know what? That's all he has to do. especially you understand you looked at them when they came back obviously when texas a &m came back and the pressure was on them you have to learn to stay relaxed you have to learn to stay calm to be able to make decisions to make make the right decisions and pressure situations make some of the best quarterback play that's where the best quarterbacks come from when you're in in a hostile environment when you're in a chaotic environment and you're still calm and collected being able to make the right decisions you know during that time and sellers kind of folded under that pressure today simple fourth and six the call should have came into the into the headset listen by any means you got to make a play you can't you can't you can't run it if you got to throw it if you have to throw it even if you have to put the ball in harm's way you have to do something with the ball so just you know running out of bounds obviously that's a i don't it's a huge mistake one that he probably won't make again if he's back in a scenario like that i really shouldn't have to

49:24Shannon Sharpe:tell a quarterback that's starting at a D1 school that he should have to, he got to throw the ball on fourth down and he can't take a sack running out of bounds. I shouldn't have to tell him that, Ocho, because I got a problem. I'm going to have a problem if I got to hold your hand every step of the way because you both guys said something very interesting. Did you see how well he was playing when everything was going well? Well, you know in the NFL there are going to be more times than not it's not going to go well. If all you do is play well when you front run what happens when you fall behind and you see if A &M started to mount that comeback he needed to be the guy I got this I'm going to stop this damn momentum I'm going to put a stop to this right now he didn't he embellished it he helped him there was a fourth and one in that second half that South Carolina went for that if they score any amount of points there it makes it an extra possession game for A &M it makes it really hard and they went for it on fourth and one I will say this, number 11 and number 9 on the Texas A &M defense stood tall today a couple times in that second half and played like some real, real dogs.

50:32That fourth and one, if they get that first down, there was seven minutes left in the third, maybe. They were bleeding a lot of clock. They get that first down, they knock the clock down to three minutes left and kick a field goal and take points. That for them, they didn't even put it in his hand. They ran it again up the middle and got stuff. little plays like that where you're not so confident where you put the ball in his hands for sure but you don't trust him enough he should be running that rock he's 6 '4 250 what they do with cam he that big what they do thank you

51:04Shannon Sharpe:that's my put Johnny you're making my point if he's your best player up let me ask you a question if you notice in any crunch to crunch situation they put the ball in my home hand say go make a play son they put the ball in Lamar Jackson hand. They put the ball in Josh Allen's hand. They put the ball in their best player's hand and say, son, I'm going to live and die with every decision you make. If I give you a run-pass option, I'm trusting you enough that you're going to run and get it, or you're going to throw and get it. But I'm going to live with whatever decision you make, son. They took that decision out of his hands and said, nah, we don't trust you like that, bro.

51:43Shannon Sharpe:That they did. Cliff Kingsbury would have never done that to me. Ever. No! We live and die by the sword, and we live and die with him. That's our cat. That's our guy. He doesn't have the keys to that program in South Carolina, and he had all the hype in the world this year. So that's what's going on in practice. That's what's going on behind the scenes. I can live with any decision my best player makes. If I put the ball in my home's hand, I put the ball in Lamar Jackson's hand, I put the ball in Josh Allen's hand, or Joe Burrow, or any of my top quarterbacks, I'm going to live with whatever decision they make.

52:16Shannon Sharpe:and we might say hey at least andy re we've seen how many times on fourth down they give him a hold the run past option normally they fake the inside he's gonna take off the run and they bring the drag they got the flat going right now or they got somebody coming in behind the flat but anyway hey i trust your decision you also have to understand you have to understand look at the players you just named where coaches trust their decision making in those in those times like that sellers is not there he's that he's not there yet obviously obviously he's not because they took the ball out his hands with that fourth and one who you that's exactly who you want the the ball whose hands you want the ball to be in but that that wasn't that wasn't the case the fourth the fourth down if it was any of the quarterback if it was josh allen if it was lamar jackson it was patrick mahomes on that fourth and six you think they would have ran out of bounds no they would have threw it and gave someone a chance to make it i hope not i'm just saying oh joe it's like a two It's like a two-point conversion.

53:12Shannon Sharpe:You take a sack. No, bro, it's the last way. It's two points. Throw it up. Who cares? Maybe you get a P.I. Maybe the guy, all of a sudden, the ball caroms over the place and you catch it. But at least something, get the ball out of your hands. The one thing you can't do, son, you can't take a sack here. You've got to get the ball out of your hands. It's really that simple. It's not that complicated at all. It's that you've got to get the ball out of your hands. Because guess what, Ocho? If you get sacked, the game's over. I don't know what happened if you throw the ball. Maybe we get a PI. Maybe he makes an unbelievable catch and he catches it.

53:48Shannon Sharpe:But the one thing that we cannot have happen is that you get sacked running out of bounds, Ocho. He was running out of bounds. Come on, bro. You better than that. There's a reason why you get the NIL money that you get. because the Gamecock booster and alumni, they believe that you're worthy of that kind of money. And to make these kinds of mistakes, bro, if you a first-year player, I give you some, you know what, it's his first year, I give him some credence. I say, Ocho, you know what, hey, he's a first-year guy. But nah, mm-mm, we can't. Not this. No, no, you can't take a sack on fourth down.

54:31Shannon Sharpe:On the flip side of it. You gotta stop. You gotta stop. How do we feel about the quarterback play from the other side of the field today? Oh, he was, and look, what that second half, once he got those jitters out, he had a horrible interception in the end. Terrible. In the end of the area. Are you talking about the corner route? He left a little short. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. He left a little short. Yeah. Way. That ball is high and outside forever. Because here's the thing, the corner slumped off. Yeah, it did. So you got that's why you got to be careful of that because you basically you basically got to no look that throw Because you got to realize where you are Ocho.

55:10Shannon Sharpe:It's not like the corners. It's in the field of play He ain't got that far to go, you know Depending on the experience and chemistry with a receiver Of really I'm somebody an elite quarterback. You know what they would have did with that if that corner you want to shove off Exactly and put it right on it on his inside shoulder the force them to turn around That ball's got to be like a Santonio Holmes almost in the corner with Big Ben. Yeah, but back shoulder. But what I always said about Marcel, too, and what I really stressed on him this offseason was you need nothing but different combinations of half-line routes in seven-on-seven.

55:48You need to see that corner slump. You need to see what man press, outside leverage looks like with a corner. You need to see more and more reps like that. So as it is a bad pick, it's such a good learning tool for him that he now takes and goes down the road and is able to keep in his memory bank. So I don't think he'll do that again. I've got caught lacking on that in practice a million times where they slump on you and get back. And if they're athletic enough, you feel stupid as hell. Really do. Because you see it, but you have to trust it because it's such an early anticipation throw. Once he got settled in, though, to look at what his stat line ends at, to know what his impact was.

56:23And by the way, in the second half, he took a 40, 35-yarder to the house on a scamper. that he scored on, that they called holding on, that old boy just fell over on, and the O-lineman was just over the top of him. Wasn't holding. So I think if you look at his play as a whole, 400-plus yards, three-plus touchdowns, okay.

56:45Shannon Sharpe:He played – well, he had to play like he played the second half, Johnny, or they're losing this game. I couldn't agree more. He had to play out of his mind, and he did. And that's what you expect your guy to do. He's like, okay, I'm the best player. Let me show you why I'm the best player. Let me make these plays. And he made those plays. If he goes to Texas and he has himself a game, does he win the Heisman? Man, everybody been hyping about, what's the kid at Ohio State in Mendoza, the guy at Indiana? He had another, what, four touchdown day today? So we'll talk about him a little later. But I definitely think Johnny, if he goes to Texas and does what you think he's going to do, I definitely believe he gets an opportunity to be sitting in the downtown athletic club and be in New York come Heisman Saturday.

57:36He gives himself a hell of a chance. If he goes out, runs the table, I believe he will still have SEC championship game too before Heisman weekend, before voting.

57:46Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Well, you know, hey, if you're the quarterback and you run the table, Maybe you're undefeated. You go and you play well in the SEC championship game and say you beat a Georgia. I don't know who's going to be on the opposite side. Maybe it's a Georgia or maybe it's an Oklahoma, whatever the case may be. That definitely increases your likelihood. And people are like, damn, you see that gamut that they had to run and here he is, you know, he's sitting here. Yeah, it definitely helps. Couldn't agree more. But, hey, this Georgia kid, he's playing himself in getting some people talking about him.

58:25Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Ocho and Johnny. Stockton, Stockton, Stockton is rising. Yeah. I'm not saying it's Bitcoin or NVIDIA, but he got some slow growth going on here. I agree. Ocho, Texas A &M, said the state trooper, Johnny, that made contact with the South Carolina players during the game was relieved of his game day duties. After receiver Nick Harbor caught an 80-yard touchdown pass late in the second quarter, he grabbed his right leg, walked up the ramp, and Oscar Attaway the third following. As they turned to walk back down the field, the Texas State Trooper bumped into them and then turned around and pointed at the players, seemingly scolding them.

59:09Shannon Sharpe:Harbor was quickly pushed away by a teammate and continued to the field, but Beamer thanked Texas A &M for the quick action while speaking to reporters after the game. Got a ton of respect for the people here at College Station. It's a first-class operation. Everybody from the game operation standpoint, they do a great job and are first-class people. So we appreciate them handling that the right way and sending him home. Johnny, what are your thoughts about the alma mater? Yeah, I think we're just a little frustrated in that first half. He breaks off that run, runs up the tunnel. Around here in these parts, partner, we protect this house.

59:43We paid a lot of money for this house. Get out of my tunnel, boy. Get back on the field. So he gave him a little something. let them know what's up to be honest it didn't give us much of a spark but listen majority of the time you don't see a lot of that from a and m people you don't see it from aggies it is a small gesture that of course in the day and age we live in it's on on tv and recorded and blasted everywhere i'm sure the guy obviously feels bad about it i'm sure it's one of those moments but what's up just get out of here real quick i hey me yeah being in college i'd hit him

1:00:17Shannon Sharpe:Daniel damn here. I'm just telling Justin just normally in college Ocho because I'm not gonna be as professional as I am in an NFL setting. I hit him Daniel's damn face with that. He's in his face and you see that uniform he went. I don't give a damn about that uniform. He had that uniform on when he bumped into two 19 year olds. Okay, I see you. Hey, you. Ocho, they try. If you go look at the one on the right, I think it was 27. He actually tries to move he tried to inch out the way and then you go you're going bumping us and then turn around and point i didn't listen hey hey i don't worry about it i don't know what's wrong with the cop obviously he's in the wrong if anything you could have got skinny and slid through them boys real quick yeah come on man outside of that you know tough guy i got the badge on i'm the officer i'm i got i got i'm gonna keep my bra shoulders up and whoever whoever bump into me we're gonna we're going to have a little altercation.

1:01:12It could have been prevented. It was unnecessary. I'm not going to lie. If I'm in that position too, I'm going to go with the guy. I'm definitely turning around and getting in his face and saying something. 100%. It's going to get to the point. You're going to hit it with the football too. I'm going to test him for sure. I'm going to get in his face and say, what's up, bitch? Right off the rip. Dead ass. Yes.

1:01:32Shannon Sharpe:I just know it, Ocho. Because I'm in a hostile environment and I'm already on it. I'm like, yeah, yeah. So your instinct is bark. I'm a react. I'm hitting. I promise you in college, not NFL. First of all, I don't think constantly like that. You know, Hey, first of all, they ain't really, they got security, but cops, they just chilling out. They happen. They're like, Oh man, they might give you a high five or something, but I don't know what he's thinking that. Oh, you mean mugging to college kids. I got something in the middle of a game at that. it ain't that much Ocho he turned around and like bro I don't know where he thought he was see he thought he was on the street see he I want you to know now that ain't the first time he behaved like that that ain't the first time cause think about it you in front of 100 ,000 how many of y 'all had today Johnny 100 what y 'all had 100 Ocho 105 ,000 you got two college kids so let me ask you a question what happens when you ain't got no thousand watching you ain't lying I got something I got something for it I had something for it you ain't lying just cause your team losing you gonna shove two college kids

1:02:52Shannon Sharpe:A &M you handled it correctly LeBron James tweeted that A &M cop needs to be suspended that was premeditated and corny AF he went out of his way to start some ish do better he did he did for sure kudos to the gentleman to the South Carolina Nick Harbor and the other gentleman I don't notice his name off the top of my head congratulations for concluding your composure and and not because you could have and I don't think anybody would have said that you did anything wrong but see this is what we're talking about Ocho you see when no one's watching how they'll do what they'll do how they'll treat you you see that don't you I just want y 'all to see that not this you got a hundred and five thousand people in the stadium you got cameras everywhere and he did this so you know how he will behave if there are no cameras around why bro why you gonna shove two college kids and then you gonna turn around and point like they did something wrong they got every right to be where they are i just man please

1:03:56Shannon Sharpe:but i just i just don't i just don't get what he thought he was doing i mean i guess he thought he was doing a good gesture. And some people be like, yeah, that was the right thing. They ain't have no business in the tunnel. What you mean? Listen, I think everybody named Alma, whether you're a Texas A &M fan or not, knows the cop is in the wrong. He's in the wrong. There's no ifs, ands or buts about it. It was unnecessary. If anything, you could have got skinny. You know, the kids, they're just coming down. They just scored. It was unnecessary. He sought it out for sure. And to be honest, I've had, trust me, I've had my tiffs with the state troopers and the city police of Bryan and College Station.

1:04:38So I've had my tiffs with them in the past for sure. I will say for the majority of the people in law enforcement in and around this area, this is a very well policed, very protect the school and protect the people area. The majority of law enforcement around here does an amazing job, and I'm very thankful for what they do for me and the other people of this city. but that today what we saw was wrong for sure. And I think A &M did handle it the right way.

1:05:04Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, and I think the thing is that trying to get skinny. I ain't trying to get skinny. I'm big. I just scored a touchdown, old Joe. I'm big. I'm wide. Like you said, how you big? Like you 250, 260? I'm coming through like a big body. I don't think people understand what I mean by get skinny. I'm just saying turn sideways. That's all. Yeah. Yeah. Like you're in a crowded club. Chad you know how you go to a crowded club and you like excuse me excuse me excuse me excuse me especially if you got a drink you don't want nobody to bump your drink and you don't want to spill your drink on nobody because then you got boy you spilled your drink on me you ain't gonna say excuse me my bad dude you see all these damn people in here what the hell you make it seem like it's just me and you and this mofo but uh I just think the thing is is that it's a it's just a it's just a bad situation that shouldn't have happened.

1:05:57Shannon Sharpe:And the cop doesn't look good. The college kids look really well how they handled that situation and moved on. And it's just, I just hate it. So, and Johnny, like I said, Johnny went to school at College Station, so he knows how they behave certain times. I mean, I don't think you have that problem now, Johnny, when you go back there. They love you now because the attention that you brought there. Because, you know, A &M has been A &M. But you brought a new level of fandom. You brought eyes back. You brought the national eyes back to A &M. Man, look here. A &M really hadn't been on anybody's maps in Coriott back in the 90s.

1:06:39Shannon Sharpe:So what you were able to do is to bring eyes to Texas A &M. Because, like I said, Texas A &M has been – they were good once upon a time. But what you were able to do, Texas A &M, they go 7-5, 8-4, whatever the case may be. Nobody was expecting them to do anything. And then Johnny comes there, and he plays out of his mind. He wins the Heisman Trophy. Now there's a level of expectation that comes along with that program. And Coach Mike Elko has these guys playing well. Marcel Reed, Concepcion, they have a really nice ball club. We're going to find out if they can keep this thing going. They got Texas, and then they got the SEC championship game.

1:07:17Shannon Sharpe:So they have everything they can to play for. Unfortunately, because they handled this so quickly, they didn't let this incident mar a big-time victory. Of course. I think one thing when I do come back to this town, first of all, I appreciate you saying that. I'm humble in the fact of what Texas A &M is now, and when I go back and look at that stadium and realize how different it is, what an unbelievable opportunity I had as a young kid to be able to go have an impact on a school like that and a state like that. And one of my favorite things when I walk on the field on a game day is to see my old police officer who used to take me home after the games and take care of me and be on the staff.

1:07:55And when we traveled, he took care of me like a fucking wrap me in a blanket pretty much. It didn't let nobody touch me. It's the happiest moment when I dap him up on the sideline, give him a hug and check in on him and his family. So what the school has done for me? Amazing. What a position we're in for the first time in a very long time, maybe even unprecedented throughout A &M's football history. I don't know if we've ever been in a position where we're undefeated, getting to a conference championship, and a playoff, but depending on how it shakes out, we get an easier run, or we could get somebody that falls off late here, and we end up playing a team that was ranked probably in the top five all year.

1:08:35But you don't know how it's going to shake out. Nevertheless, shout out to Elko. Shout out to Marcel Reed. Shout out to Concepcion, all the boys, Cassius Howe, the defense, and every Aggie that showed up today. We needed everybody in that stadium because we needed to play it perfect, and we did, and it doesn't matter because we got a dub and we hit a Northgate tonight for sure. Let's go, Aggies.

1:08:57Shannon Sharpe:All right. Kiwan Lacy rushed for 224 yards and three touchdowns as the number six Mississippi Ole Miss Rebs rallied past Florida by the score of 34-24. Dubbed the Lane Kiffin Bowl is Lane Kiffin's current team. pick to win Saturday over his potential new employer. As Kiffin's squad took a knee at the final minute, Ole Miss fans chanted, we won't lame in a bid to persuade their socks after their coach not to vote for another school, possibly Florida. Rebels have now won at least 10 games in three straight seasons, and this victory solidified their chances to make the college football playoff. Meanwhile, Florida has lost 20 consecutive games away from Glainesville against ranked opponents since beating Georgia in the COVID year in 2020 in Jacksonville, Florida.

1:09:49Shannon Sharpe:Chambliss, 26-35, 3-0-1-1 touchdown. Lacey, 31 carries. 2-24. 2-24, three touchdowns. The one thing you can say, Lane Kiffin coach his ass off. Offense, it's hard. I don't know. look and I have the utmost respect for Ryan Day but boy it's hard for you to find me somebody that's better at calling plays that's in college football than Lane Kiffin the funny thing you know what I like about Lane too it doesn't matter it doesn't matter what he has on offense he's always able to put his players in position to maximize their talent and what they do well always always been able to do that extremely well the fact that he's gone to Ole Miss and he's had a really, really good season.

1:10:36He's 10-1 right now, and they definitely, they definitely going to surprise the people. They're going to make it to the college playoffs. Ain't no telling what's going to happen.

1:10:49Shannon Sharpe:Give me the final two game. We had a lot of talk the last couple years, obviously, about how good of a play caller Lincoln Riley was and what he did with Caleb Williams and being a good play caller and getting guys in the right position. now USC doesn't have the pieces that they had before so they don't look like the same way the scheme anything Lane Kiffin is undisputed undoubtedly the best play caller in college football without a doubt they're calling this the Kiffin Bowl I don't take the Florida job if I'm Lane Kiffin hell no well how much how much they got for me Johnny I see they just gave Elko 11 million a year I think it takes and if I were him I get this offer from not Florida I get this offer from LSU.

1:11:32That's the job. If I'm like Kevin. What he can do recruiting there, what they will give him, it takes$13 to$15 million. It takes a crib in the bayou. It takes $200. It takes the jet wherever I want to go whenever I want. Nah, I can only give you 50 hours, Johnny. We're taking all 50 and we're going to try and give something to my son. We're going to try and give something to my son. He's getting 50. Grandma out there is getting 50. Everybody's getting 50. Yeah, okay, 50 hours. I'm going to spend that in a month in the offseason. You're crazy as hell. I'm getting everything if I'm leaving. If not, I'll take the$13 million I get from Ole Miss and we'll continue to build something new.

1:12:12Shannon Sharpe:And listen, yeah. You think they'll make him the highest paid? You think they'll jump him over Kirby? Because right now, Kirby's the highest paid at about$13 million. Lane got all the leverage. He does. You want me that bad? Show me you want me that bad. But Johnny, I just spent I got to spend 50 plus being to get Brian Kelly out the door. I'm gonna go find it. We're talking about the governor is talking about hiring the dude go find some money somewhere What are we talking about? Shaq got it. Hey Shaq. They gonna need you to break them off. You got plenty Shaq Andrew Reese Jenna chase Joe They need all that big-time of love to come back and pitch it in the pot Oh, they got it in the pot without having to call on the alum.

1:12:56Oh, they definitely got it.

1:12:59Shannon Sharpe:They got their final game is 11-28. They play Mississippi State in the Egg Bowl at Mississippi State. Wait, hold on, hold on. They got two more games, I thought. Okay. They got one more game. Yeah. They got Mississippi State in the Egg Bowl, which won't be easy. You know, it's a rivalry game. You know how rivalry games go, Ocho. Every time. And everything they hope. If they win out, do we play them in the SEC championship? They're the only other one-lock. Probably. I think it depends on who's ranked higher. So you'll probably end up playing Georgia. There's a one-lock. You'll probably end up playing Georgia, Johnny.

1:13:46Shannon Sharpe:I agree. Damn. And that's what the SEC won, because guess why? Georgia that's an hour drive that's an hour drive from Athens so you will not have home you will not I know A &M travel and y 'all got them big time but that's in the Bulldogs backyard we're gonna split it down the middle first time SEC championship we're going full force 100 % maybe not split it but we can be 60-40 eggs on top that'll be a burner though.
