Nightcap Hour 1: GEORGIA out of CHARACTER vs BAMA + Penn State CRASHES vs OREGON + Texas A&M ROLLS Auburn + LSU offense NONEXISTENT

26:18Shannon Sharpe:Valvoline Instant Oil Change. Change wisely. The number six Oregon Ducks goes in to Beaver Stadium. Shocks the number three Penn State Nittany Lions by the score of 30-24 in double overtime. James Franklin coaching in his 12th season at Penn State is now 4-21 against top 10 opponents. 4-21. I tweeted, is he ever going to win a big, meaningful game? Well, he went to the college football. All I know is that he's 4-21. Now, y 'all think, is that acceptable? No. Now, all I know is when I grew up, Penn State was a big thing. They, Joe Pa, rest his soul, they won. Yeah. And more times than not, he won games like that.

27:10Shannon Sharpe:Go back and look at that 87 National Championship game against Miami. They had no business winning that game. You look at what Miami had as far as Testaverde and Jerome Brown and Danny Stubbs and all those guys. Yeah. Penn State had no business whatsoever winning that game. And Penn State was known to win games like that. Right. I think if I'm not mistaken, I think they beat Georgia one year for the national championship or they kept Georgia from winning the national championship. I'm just shocked that it somehow he will find a way to lose to Ohio State. he'll find a way somehow Johnny to lose a game you're like okay they're home they're gonna win this one oh they got this one in the bag and he'll eff it up yeah I mean I mean they were they were close all game Johnny and um it was a very good game a very defensive game um obviously I I don't I I'm I'm confused as to where are all the the stars there's always every every team always especially like Penn State, there's always a star.

28:14Nobody stood out. Nobody stood out. I think everyone's somewhat even, and that's what I was looking for. I was looking for one or two players that stand out and make a difference in that game, and nobody stood out to me. So at that point, it all comes down to the coaching. It all comes down to decision-making in an important situation on who made the fewest mistakes that was going to win that game. I think you look at number one five. 14 to 25 for 137, two touchdowns and a pick. You go to their running back, their rush game, leading rusher, 12 carries, 54 yards. You go to their leading receiver, four catches, 48 yards.

28:51That ain't enough on that side of the ball. That ain't going to get you a win. It really isn't. We're talking about 15 being a guy. Can he go to the league? Is he the best quarterback in this class? Is the guy who showed flashes last year? you don't want to step up and be that guy in that situation man 137 ain't it you're supposed to have that in a quarter in college a whole game a double overtime

29:19Shannon Sharpe:thank you so you get extra possessions in overtime you got you played a game and two extra possessions and you had 137 yards passing so you're at home against oregon and i'm supposed to believe that you're a top pick? I don't know. Here's the thing, though, too. Here's what I'm thinking about as well, though. Let's look back to last year. Oregon played Ohio State. Early on, great game. Yes. Comes down, and then you look at what happens in the playoff. Completely different thing. So, I respect James Franklin. I like him as a coach, as a human being, as a program leader. I understand in big situations, 4-21, there's something going on there where you get nervous or you tighten up or get a little what whatever it is four and 21 in big games come on get those darts at a wall blindfolded hit more four than 21 what are we talking about but at the end of the day you can't look at this as we play the number six team in the country, really tough.

30:27And if we see them again, come on. It's all about perspective and how you handle this loss.

30:35Shannon Sharpe:But here's the thing. I agree. Don't get no about it. See, I didn't think Oregon was going to beat Ohio State. They lost on a two-point conversion, Ohio State at Oregon. What the hell do you think that was going to happen if you meet on a neutral site? What happened? Yeah. The door is blown off of Oregon. If Oregon meet Penn State on a neutral site, again, if that's fortunate enough to happen, doors blown off. Because they still got Penn State. I mean, excuse me, they still got Ohio State. They still got Michigan on schedule. So are we sure they already got one loss early in the season? Are we sure?

31:15Are we sure Penn State, when it's all said nothing,

31:19Shannon Sharpe:is going to be there, Johnny? I mean, look, next week, UCLA. Bop, bop. Northwestern. Bop. Iowa. Easy. Easy. Okay. Maybe they give you a foul. Oh, they're going to lose one of them, Johnny. That's Penn State. That's Jay Franklin. They're going to lose one of them. Come down to a matchup versus Ohio State. And for me, I ain't as confident as you, Sal, in Ohio State's quarterback play. They're good as a team, as a unit. You rely on your D. You got the receivers. You got the pieces. I ain't as confident in them as most people are. And then, look, you got Indiana, Michigan State, Nebraska, Rutgers.

32:01Nebraska, I mean. Where do they play Nebraska at? At home.

32:09Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, they probably win that one. So, I mean, you go through it. You have a loss versus Ohio State. You run the rest of the table. You have two losses. You're Penn State. You're at three right now. you end up in the top 12 for sure. For sure. You might be right. The question is, what does Ohio State look like when it's all said and done? How many losses do Oregon have when it's all said and done? I don't believe, let's just say for the sake of argument, Oregon runs the table. Does Oregon play Ohio State in the regular season? Or are they going to only play in the championship game? they're getting ready to do a way we did not play Oregon this year okay let's just say everybody's undefeated I don't believe they're taking three teams out of the big team Illinois whoa whoa Illinois not a cakewalk okay that's going to be a good game give you that that's a good game Minnesota Wisconsin Penn State Purdue UCLA Rutgers Michigan to end the season they don't lose more than two they're in true right that game that michigan game is going to be tough i don't know what it is michigan michigan seems to something's up something in there it's it i don't it doesn't matter they fight they find a way to play to just scratch claw and dig out a win against ohio state no matter how talented ohio state is michigan somehow I'll find a way to win that game.

33:43It's been there. We see it. Every year it happens. Yeah.

33:48Shannon Sharpe:But I'm just surprised that James Franklin, think about all the time, Johnny and Ocho, that we've seen Penn State have a superior team only to lose. Lose. Drew Aller, look, he might turn out to be one of the greatest Penn State quarterback in the NFL, and that ain't saying much because Penn State ain't had a whole lot of great quarterbacks in the NFL. You go back to Chuck Fasana and you go back to Todd Blackledge. Kerry Collins, no difference. Kerry Collins might be the best. But he does not impress me. As my grandma used to say, he doesn't razz my berry. I get nothing. I get nothing out of that.

34:29Shannon Sharpe:I really don't. I'm looking at him, bro. I'm like, bro, what are we doing? And people have him rated really high, Johnny. Am I missing something? I mean, when it comes to the quarterback position, the quarterbacks are rated. There's not much else out there. There's not much else out there. We've been talking about the quarterback play. Even our boy Castellanos, who we were so hype about last week. I put some money on Florida State on Friday night. That ain't it. That was tough. They're sick. They're back to the drawing board. Yeah. I think Florida State might have been feeling theyself a little too much.

35:07Shannon Sharpe:You see what happens, Ocho, when expectations come? You see, when they play to Alabama, they ain't have no expectations. Now, all of a sudden, they're undefeated, they're on the road, and now you have some expectations. Could Florida State make the college football playoff? Now you start to have expectations. No one had expectations for Florida State until they did what they did to Alabama. Now, all of a sudden, damn, to that? Right. Man, look, I don't get it. Like I said, Penn State, 4-21. 4-21. Penn State is 4-21 against top 10 opponents. And it's not like they haven't been ranked in the top 10, their damn self.

35:52Shannon Sharpe:So it's not like, oh, that's a top 10 opponent and we're unranked. Or we're 20, we're 25. Penn State a lot of times is ranked in the top 10, their damn self. Look, maybe they're afraid they can't find anybody else than Drain Franklin, but I'm not so sure that he would have been able to be at any other institution this long with the pedigree that an institution has as long as Penn State. I'm shocked. I am absolutely shocked that he's been able to be there this long. You're not going to be at Alabama. You're not going to be at Georgia. You're not going to be at any of the Ohio State with that. no sir no way no way no how 4 and 21 and you lose it to ohio state damn every basically every year how many times have you beat ohio state since he's been there once i think you get you get a little bit a little bit more leniency with understanding that you are playing a superior school you get you get a little bit if you can so somehow get a win yes you understand that Ohio State has the better players here's the thing they keep getting into the playoff they get into the playoff and go look good and be competitive that's the thing they keep getting wiggling their way in just good enough bare minimum type stuff so when you do that and you look back at the season as somebody who's overseeing that whole program you're like you know what you don't forget about that loss versus Ohio State you don't forget about you forget about that.

37:29Like, oh, we went to the playoff, damn, a couple plays go here our way here and there, like, we're good. You look at it in that perspective. But in reality, when you lay it out, you lay it for what it is, if you're a top program, yeah.

37:47Shannon Sharpe:How many times, I think the biggest thing is, this is where you measure a coach. How many times does he win a game he's not supposed to win? See, you look at Nick Saban and all the times he beat Georgia when he wasn't supposed to, or he beat an LSU when he wasn't supposed to, or he beat these teams. How many times would we go into a game and we say, man, Penn State ain't got no chance of winning this game, and they win it? They do wide on cue. If it's a 50-50 ball game, they lose. So if we're looking at it and we're saying, okay, this is a game, I want to see somebody win. Coach Belichick. Coach Belichick, a lot of times he's winning games like, he wasn't supposed to beat the greatest show on turf.

38:32Shannon Sharpe:He wasn't supposed to beat the Legion of Boom. He was not supposed to go on the road and beat Patrick Mahomes. You have to win in order to get the credit that you deserve. You're going to have to win games you're not supposed to win. You're not supposed to win that Super Bowl in Atlanta. That's how you became Johnny. If you go into Alabama and you lose, You're not Johnny Football. You've got to win. You won a game that you weren't supposed to win. Nobody gave you a chance. Y 'all was what, two, three touchdowns underdogs? But, hey, I don't think Johnny, the funny thing about it is, obviously, sometimes coaches are supposed to win games that they shouldn't win to get the recognition, but it's hard to win games if you don't have the personnel.

39:20It's hard if they tell you to bake a cake, but you ain't got no goddamn mix. You understand what I'm saying? Well, make cornbread.

39:28Shannon Sharpe:Make something palatable. You know what I mean. I get, Ocho, you're right. But that's the thing. Is winning – let me ask you a question. Who had the most talent? The greatest show on turf or Coach Belichick's patrons?

39:48Shannon Sharpe:Yes. A game you're not supposed to win. You're under man. The great ones find a way no matter what. There ain't no excuses. Giants versus the Patriots. One team is 18-0. One team got, some argue, the greatest receiver ever. The greatest quarterback ever. The greatest head coach ever. Yeah.

40:18Ta-da.

40:20Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. So sometimes you win games when you're under man. And that's, Ocho, if all I do is win when I got the best team, how good a damn coach am I? Yeah, you're right. Jay, frankly, at some point in time, you're going to have to win games that nobody doesn't expect you. And now you're at home. You're the number three seed. People were expecting you to beat Oregon because you're the high-ranked team and you're home. And somehow you find more times than not. So based on this, in 25 games against a top 10 opponent, more times than not, triple the times, quadruple the times he found ways to win, lose, as opposed to winning.

41:05Shannon Sharpe:And that's a problem. That is a problem. When you're moving like I do, trips don't always come together weeks in advance. Sometimes production shoots, interviews, or something I've got to travel for on a short notice. Like the time when I had the last minute trip to Denver and everything came together fast.

46:02Shannon Sharpe:Valvoline Instant Oil Change. Change wisely. As we got. Number nine, Texas A &M. Johnny's. Yeah, yeah. Number nine, Texas A &M holds off the Auburn Tigers. I don't know how you get two names. You get a war eagle and you're a tiger. But anyway, improved to 4-0 since the first time since 2016. Auburn finished the game 0 of 13 on third down conversion and had just 177 total yards against A &M. A &M had 414. Marcel Reed not turned the ball over against Texas A &M and hadn't had committed 13 penalties. The final score would have been a lot worse. Johnny, that's your team. What did you like about what you saw from the Aggies?

46:46Shannon Sharpe:Listen, I talk to him every night after the games. And as you're going into games like this and you're getting into SEC play and you're playing a good team like Auburn, you have to find ways throughout the season to go out and get a win. whether it's pretty, whether it's ugly, whether you have some penalties. But look at it as a whole, 15-22, that's seven incompletions. He doesn't throw a tutty, 207 yards passing. And for him, he rushed for minus 23 yards. For a guy who uses his legs, that's an off night for him. But look, Le 'Veon Moss, 21 carries, 139. I've talked to him every week. what I've told him is listen as good as that feels as much as you want to go out and celebrate learn from me man learn from me and buckle down you were in a place that we ain't been in in 10 years nine years yeah grind it go back this week go harder take this run with it and go get better use the film use the stuff go to practice take everything you can the party gonna be there and The party going to be better whenever you get to the SEC championship game, whenever you keep winning, whenever you keep stacking good days, good weeks.

48:06So I'm in his ear every week in the most positive of ways. We're going to enjoy this for a couple seconds right now because it feels good and you should enjoy it because it is a good team win. But at the end of the day, everybody in the country is waiting on A &M to be A &M of the past. The way you stick out and be legendary is to go and do what hasn't been done. He wants to go be up there with me at Texas A &M. Keep winning. Keep doing your thing. Keep being a leader. That's how you get a statue. That's how you get your name on the building. That's what you want. So right now, so far, so good.

48:43Everybody's waiting on the Aggies to Aggie. And there's a couple people that can keep that in perspective and keep it rolling.

48:53Shannon Sharpe:Look, A &M defense was coming. I mean, 24 rushes, 52 yards. 18 of 33 you had 33 pass attempts and you only had 125 yards that's what you're supposed to have 125 yard passes in three drives yeah that's them boys playing good defense that real good defense most of the time we think about college football too huh johnny defense is the is the part where they really don't play very well it's hard because all these spread offenses and all this motion the zone read stuff if you see if it's infiltrated the NFL NFL sent their personnel down there to study Baylor to study these lane kids and to study these open offenses you see a lot more of that now college offense into the NFL as opposed to the NFL in college ain't nobody dotting the I you find very few backs basically the only team that really gets in the I if you got Derrick Henry and Jonathan Taylor.

49:55Shannon Sharpe:Damn, everybody else is on the offset because very few quarterbacks are under center now, Johnny. A lot of these guys get to college, Ocho, and they have never, ever taken a snap under center. Under center, yeah. Some guys get to the NFL and they ain't taking a snap under center. The first time they take a snap under center is at the damn pro day. Look at Johnny. Johnny raises his hand like, I ain't. We have maybe six snaps in two years where we went under center. I got to the NFL. I'm like, what the fuck is this?

50:27Shannon Sharpe:you feeling good about your ag and you think they can make it all the way down to georgia they have the pieces they need they got if they can if they can come together as a band of brothers and they can look at it and say you know this defense we stout offense what we did versus notre dame we can do versus anybody in the country but it takes a special unit not ones buying into the hype not one's getting lackadaisical not one's taking a week off and practice like yo we play somebody that we should beat this week but somebody can come up and catch you and that one game changes your whole trajectory so are the pieces there for a and m are they a contender without a doubt they played well enough against teams that are solid to prove that but it takes consistency and it takes them coming every week with your lunch pail you got to come and bring it that's just what it comes down to so if you want it it's there you got the pieces now or whatever guys got sure but they got the do you got do you guys got texas or oklahoma on your schedule georgia on the road that'd be a good game there's no love lost between you guys uh and last year was a brutal one last year was tough in our own house bringing the rivalry back we ain't sniff a chance to win that game last year yeah and y 'all tried to block texas from coming to the sec what are we doing it was all good when we wanted to go but when they want to go we're mad about it there's some things there's some things that go on at a &m that you got to look at and kind of be like what are we doing but yeah that just is what it is everybody wants their cake and to eat it too and to keep keep them out of something that's been really great for us.

52:15But like, listen, if 2012 didn't go the way that it went for us, our SEC trajectory could be way, way different. When we were coming into the SEC, all we heard was, you boys need to get ready. You're going to get smacked. This is different than what you're used to. This ain't Iowa State. This ain't Kansas State. Now, we set ourselves on a good path with 2012 and 2013, but then there's a big lull there for eight, nine years where we really haven't had a lot of success. outside of 2019 or 2020, Kellen Mons last year, and it was the COVID year, and we went to the Orange Bowl, lost one game. We haven't really had a lot of success.

52:53So for us, this team has the chance to do what hasn't been done at Texas A &M in a long time. And for us and the type of program we are, if you're being honest, double-digit wins for us are something that are truly program changing. But we're in the second year of Elko. We go through the buyout. We go through the jokes. We are the butt of the joke for years. Oh, you pay Jimbo this. He has to go. You pay him off. You have success in the second year at Elko, you really start to build on something where that money now makes it worth it.

53:27Shannon Sharpe:Absolutely. When you pay Jimbo that kind of money, you got to get to an SEC championship game. You got to get into the college football player. It's just the way of life, Ocho. You know, Johnny, you understand this. You played there. You know how devout and loyal that fan base is, and you know how those big boosters are. They found some money in their cushions to give Jimbo that kind of money. I ain't saying they empty their pockets because they got deep pockets. Their pockets go down to their bank.

53:59Shannon Sharpe:They didn't have to dig too deep to find that. And so the expectations, like you said, you keep winning these games. And like you said, okay, you win double digits. But at some point in time, they look over there and it's like, nah, we're in the big boy conference. We want to play for an SEC championship. 13 years in and you don't go once, unacceptable. I couldn't get it done, can't get it done for the nine years after. 13 years in at a conference and you don't sniff it, unacceptable. So they're going to have to figure this thing out. You believe they have the type of team that can get there? I mean, this thing is going to really be tough.

54:35Shannon Sharpe:I mean, Texas and Oklahoma say they got something to say about it. Georgia has an SEC loss, but, hey, they're like, hey, we got something to say about it. Bama doesn't have an SEC loss yet, but they're probably 6-17. Tennessee, Vanderbilt, they're a 6-17 that says, you know what? We think we got a realistic chance of being down in Alabama. Look at AM schedule, though. Next week, Mississippi State. Then we play Florida. We've already harped on Florida enough where they don't deserve no air time. Arkansas okay they got the doors blown up we have their number all right LSU late in end of the 1025 all right that's gonna be a good game last man Brian Kelly you know Brian Kelly throw up on himself okay that's the one that sticks out but outside of that then you got Missouri then you got South Carolina then you got Sanford and then to end the season you got you got Texas So like for it looks as a schedule, what the SEC could be, right, what your schedule could look like, I would say overall that's pretty favorable.

55:41Yes, you have to go win some good games against good teams. That's going to happen. You're not playing in the Big Ten. You're not playing in the Big 12. You're not playing in the ACC. You're not getting cakewalks in conference. But if you look at who you can play versus who you have on your schedule, I would say it lines up really nice. What you guys got in the game, Cox? Are they coming to y 'all or y 'all going to them? Okay. And they beat us last year in a game that we felt like we should win. And they beat us bad. Yeah.

56:14Shannon Sharpe:So that'll be a very interesting game. We'll see. Johnny believes his team could beat. I know you're going to be on board. Lord, have mercy. I can just imagine. I can just imagine. Take A &M. I will say this. I'm not going to give the whole thing away. But South Carolina weekend, those boys in that locker room, from what I have coming in that game, are going to be more motivated than any team, any game in the last 15 years of Texas A &M. I got a real special treat coming for the Aggies November 15th. Fire. Program changing for us, in my opinion. You got Drake coming in? Huh? He's working on the album.

57:02Shannon Sharpe:We're going to Albany Bahamas to work on the album. Okay, okay, okay, okay. I'm just checking, just checking. Guys, remember last week when Brian Kelly went on his rant about reporters asking about his offense? Well, in a 24-19 loss to Ole Miss, the Tigers mustered 2 of 11 on third downs and lacked an effective running game. They trudged 65 yards on 21 non-sack carries with a long of 10. Garrett Nussmeyer once again had a very mediocre game against top competition. Nussmeyer managed less than 200 yards on 34 pass attempts, less than six yards, an average per throw. Well, you know what? Hey, let's not ask Brian Kelly about his run game because he won.

57:50Shannon Sharpe:You so now can we ask you about your run game now, mr. Kelly? Hey, like you said it was one game Okay, I would add but see Ocho what what's the what's the what's the motto Ocho? We never accept anything in a wind We set me the loss we wouldn't in a loss. So I'm gonna ask you now. Yeah If this running game is it acceptable coach Kelly? because you know you you were celebrating you wanted to celebrate we won the game the guys ask you say we won the game guys we won the game okay now now that you didn't win the game do i have your undivided attention now coach kelly i'd like to ask you about your running game because last week you didn't want to talk about it because you won can we talk about it now what would you like to say about your running game what what what what what's what's happening with your running game, Coach Kelly?

58:43Shannon Sharpe:I wanted to do that report to ask any questions after the game. I couldn't be the reporter. Because I was like, Coach Kelly, I remember last week, you said you had won the game and you didn't want to talk about it. You wanted to talk about the win. Now that you didn't win, can they ask you about your running game? This game went over when Kiffin's daughter and the LSU dude, when that came out, he said, this game was over. Johnny what am I missing about Nussmeier what am I missing listen there were times last year in games that I watched with him where I came away really really impressed don't see it a lot but for whatever reason this year we are seeing regression from guys who played well last year Klubnick, Aller, Nussmeier are taking steps backwards and that's really really rare you as As the game goes on in college football, at least for me, because I can only speak on my perspective, the game got slower.

59:42It came more detailed. It came more guys being in positions. You see so much of the same coverage. You don't see a ton of nickel-dime package random blitz coming. You don't see a lot of different fronts. You see the same base, over, under, same positions, a lot of cover three, teams that play quarters. So for guys who have now played, Nussmire's played 20 games. These guys have played enough games, live bullets firing, to where you've got to come out, and this should be toying with people. So it is weird, and it is really like something's going on to where they're not getting coached in the right way.

1:00:24Because I was fortunate to be coached by guys who pushed me, who helped me learn the game to where things felt slow for me. And the next year was better. It kept getting better and better and easier and slower to the point where you can do it with your eyes closed type of thing. But a lot of it comes with confidence too. Sometimes you get a little rattled. But what we're seeing right now, he's a better player than what he's showing. And that's what I'm going to leave it at. I'm not going to dog on him. He's better than what he's showing.

1:00:54Shannon Sharpe:I think the thing is, if there's a chance, and this is what I always tell guys. Johnny, if there's a chance for you to come out, go and come out. Right. Because the only thing, the only place you can go is down. You can go down. It goes back to, I don't, I know you don't probably remember this, Ocho, Georgia Tech had a safety. His name was Ken, his name was Ken Swillings. He's going to be a top 10 pick. He came back, he ended up getting drafted like the seventh round because he went to a bowl game and he had to cover and it didn't work out so well for him. He got exposed. He got exposed. so that's my thing i tell guys well you know no bro only thing you can do is get exposed and deficiencies can be exposed and now all of a sudden boom if you can go out and be a first round pick man go on and get that money get close go ahead because now with the money that it is you a you could be a 300 million dollar quarterback and you'll be 25 years 25 years of age You can be a$200 million defensive player, especially lineman, D-line, or edge rusher, at 25 years of age.

1:01:59Shannon Sharpe:Go on and get close. You can get 300 million at the quarterback position, and you can only go to the playoffs one time out of your first four years of your deal. Yeah. So when I look at the guys that you mentioned, Nussmeier, I look at Klubnick, I look at Aller, I look at – I'm like – and these are three guys that everybody had like top quarterbacks. I'm like, well, damn. Shadour probably thinking, man, I should have stayed my ass in school. I could have came back. I would have definitely been a top 10 pick with this class. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, when I say literally nobody stands out, nobody, nobody.

1:02:37Shannon Sharpe:Week out, like what you normally see, no. Nothing like that. I mean, none of the, it's been a while guys, it's been a while that we could honestly turn the TV on and say, you know what? I don't see no quarterbacks to get excited about. You wake up on Saturday and you're like, damn, I'm excited to go watch right now. I have to watch that game. None. None. I mean, I don't even know. Johnny, are they even going to give the Heisman out this year? I mean, you got the award, so you would know. Are they going to give the award out this year? A couple guys out there that are floating, doing enough. Like Diego Pavia has a real chance.

1:03:17He got a chance if he goes and continues to play. Six studies today, five passing, one rushing. Big games on the schedule coming up for them. You play Tennessee. You play Alabama. You're at Dandy. You win the season 10-1 in the playoff. You keep doing what you're doing. You play the way you play. Marcel Reed, you guys run the table, go undefeated? Yeah.

1:03:41Shannon Sharpe:come on man i'm looking at some of these guys i'm like damn i think the committee gonna be like nah we good we holding off hold on to it this year yeah yeah yeah we're gonna have a we're gonna go ahead and slide me another one yeah i'm sitting here trying to think about that question you just asked when it comes to college football what team do you sit there or even even a player most of the time we've always gotten one player on one team that wants to watch. Maybe Ohio State and Jeremiah Smith. That might be the only one. He's the only one that you get excited about. Yeah. And then you get frustrated when they don't throw him the damn ball, and then I turn the TV from him.

1:04:25Yeah.

1:04:26Shannon Sharpe:Because maybe I'd be thinking in my head, well, maybe I'm bringing a bad look. Maybe because I'm watching and he knows I'm watching and they won't throw him the ball. So maybe if... Maybe it's only week four. We need to give him a little more time. Maybe they're a little rusty. Maybe it's one of them years were taking a little time to rust off. Johnny, you weren't like that. After you won the Heisman, you came back, you picked right back up. That's what guys do. Go back and look at the guy. Look at Trevor Lawrence. Trevor Lawrence, when Trevor Lawrence stepped on, when he stepped on campus, Trevor Lawrence ended up taking the guy's job, wins the national championship.

1:05:03Shannon Sharpe:He's like, that guy's going to be the number one pick. And I've been damned. He played like he was going to be the number one pick. Hey, James, too. Yeah. Jameis, yes. Yeah. Baller. Baker. Kyler. Mariota. I mean, come on, man. What are we doing here? Look, and I understand. Maybe that's unfair. It's not unfair to have these expectations when I'm just going about the projections and everybody look at these guys. These guys can spin it. Bro, I'm looking at these guys and I am unimpressed. Yeah. I think the guys that we mentioned leaves a lot to be desired. And they got players around them. It's not like the club is a bear.

1:05:51Shannon Sharpe:And I understand, this is college football. These guys are 18, 19, 20 years of age. But, I mean, we should have expectations. I mean, and these are the top guys. Allen was everybody, you know, he come back, he's going to improve upon what he did at Penn State. Nussmeyer. I think his dad was an offensive coordinator, wasn't he, Johnny? Isn't his dad an offensive coordinator? And, you know, so all the guys that were mentioned, and I'm like, well, damn. I'm just, like I said, I haven't been really impressed with a whole lot of quarterbacks spinning the football this year. Maybe I need to go out. Maybe I just need to watch some random game.

1:06:32I did get access today to – I've been talking with Jake Spavitol, who's the OC of Baylor. Their quarterback right now is playing at a very, very high level. He texted me today, yo, we had another one of those days where our QB is playing high-level football. And for the people who haven't tuned into a Baylor game, and you probably haven't because they're not really ranked, their offense and what he's doing at the quarterback position is something to go and watch. but he gave me access to be able to go watch the all 24 film and to be able to go see all the version so during the weeks now i'm really going to start looking and seeing some of these guys i'm going to come back with some good feedback on saturday nights and some guys and be able to have some stuff to be able to show because it's out there you just got to look hard enough to go find it it's not the stuff you're going to see on the highlights and this and this because it may be from different teams but right now right especially going into this next week diego Pavia has a chance to really go into Tuscaloosa and do something this weekend.

1:07:30Really. This is the opportunity.

1:07:33Shannon Sharpe:I mean, Carson Beck, could Carson Beck, I mean, the guy from Arizona State, Levitt, he played really well at the tail end of last year. He's kind of playing well right now. I mean, we like him. I mean, I might have to start watching him. I agree. He's fun to watch. He's made some plays where I've seen five, six highlights clips this year, go back into last year a little bit where you're like, okay, white boy, let's see it.

1:08:01Shannon Sharpe:the division two transfer trinidad chambliss passed for 314 yards and a touchdown his third straight game his third straight 300 yard game since taking over injured quarterback austin simmons i mean look you can say what you want to say about lane kiffin that mofo can call some Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Man, that play that he called? Wait, which one? Which one? Which one? Which one? Oh, to get that first down? First down? Yeah, man. Yeah. Hell, I still don't know where the guy came from. Hell, I think he came off the sideline. I said, how did this big dude get so wide open? And he got the first down.

1:08:41Shannon Sharpe:I said, no, I ain't going no further. Let me go on down here. We good here. And I love Lane because he shows emotion. I love Coach. But, you know, a lot of these coaches, they be having their little pad. Oh, they're not excited. That's what I do. Now, Lane was like, yeah, yeah. I like that. Yeah, Lane be into it. You got to look back at the days, even when he was at Alabama. And I love this because I would see it with Kyle Shanahan at times. I've seen it with Kingsbury at times. The elite A-plus coaches, when they have a play dialed up against the coverage, they know they're going to get in situational football.

1:09:16And you'll see it at Alabama. The ball snapped and his hands go up. And he already said, you already know. Quarters, got the basic. We're going to throw the post over the top. Safety's coming down because that's what he does. He's greedy going for the pick and launch it. All you got to do is step back, close your eyes, and throw it. So when you get coaches like that who know what they're going to get because they sit there and grind enough tape and have done it enough, it's an impressive thing. And guess what? You don't see it all across the land. But you see it with the good ones. Yep.

1:09:48Shannon Sharpe:And they know they got something good cooked up.
