In short
Nightcap Hour 1 reacts to Alabama’s 27-20 Iron Bowl win over Auburn, debates playoff committee logic after other top teams’ results, and discusses Michigan-Ohio State rivalry/“defending the logo.” The hosts argue Alabama survived miscues (Auburn’s drops, pressure, and execution issues) and must clean up before the SEC Championship vs Georgia.
Guests
Isaiah Horton, Alabama wide receiver. Background: Alabama player who caught the game-winning TD; finished with 5 catches for 35 yards and 3 touchdowns in the Iron Bowl.
Key claims
Ryan Williams didn’t play/wasn’t targeted much; hosts suggest confidence/health/usage issues. Alabama’s offensive line misassignments vs blitz pressure contributed to Auburn’s momentum. The playoff selection will prioritize big brands and revenue/travel (e.g., Alabama/Texas) over strict “logic” of records. Michigan’s logo incident is framed as rivalry intensity.
Notable examples
Auburn’s multiple drops; Alabama’s 17-0 lead that tightened to 17-13; Ohio State eliminating Michigan from playoff contention after a snow-covered win; Michigan players “protecting the logo” at midfield.

Ocho, I told you, this game here, throughout the record, it doesn't even matter. It doesn't even matter because Albert was really trying to spoil because they knew if they beat Alabama tonight, Alabama's not going to the SEC title game, and they're not going to the college football playoffs.
3:40Shannon Sharpe:And nothing loves company more than misery. Misery. So Albert was definitely trying to – they miserable at 5-7, saying, you know what, let's see what we can do.

5:20Shannon Sharpe:27-20 over Auburn. The Iron Bowl lived up to its hype. We know the last three Iron Bows that were played in Auburn, the last six, it split right down the middle. Yeah. 3-3. We knew it was going to be a tough ball game. Ty Simpson, he missed the throw in the first quarter. The guy had a walk-in touchdown. He overshot it. He hasn't been the same the last four games, but there are a lot of mistakes made tonight. Alabama is very, very fortunate. Very, very fortunate to win this game. Auburn did themselves, shot themselves in the foot so many times. How many drops did they have? Five, six, seven? Something like that.
5:56And you know what? I wasn't familiar with the Iron Bowl. I'm going to be honest with you. I watched college football, but I didn't understand how serious this rivalry was. I tweeted when it was 17-3. I said, it's safe to say this game is over. And everybody on Twitter had to let me know, listen, you must not be familiar with the Iron Bowl. It's never over. It's never over. And I'm watching the game on my phone, right? And I'm like, I look up. I go back to my phone. It's 17-13.
6:29Shannon Sharpe:And the thing is, Ocho, because like Ohio State, Michigan, they're not in the same state. So it's a big rivalry. It rivals. It might even because they call it the game. Yes. So we understand what it is. But Alabama, Auburn, the Iron Bowl, tough, gritty, and it's right down the middle. So you got to pick a side, Ocho. Right. When your kid is born, they either got on Auburn gear or they got on Bama gear. On Alabama gear. It ain't no, hey, it's right down the middle. Right. And you got Auburn. It ain't no way, you know, if Auburn wins, I'll be okay with that if I'm an Alabama fan. You saw what that Alabama fan did to the Auburn tree.
7:11Shannon Sharpe:Yes. He poisoned the tree in, what is it, Toomer's Corner. He said, when they put that Cam Newton jersey on Bear Bryant, I just lost it. I lost it. And so we understand what this rivalry means, but Alabama had a scratching claw. They got very, very fortunate to win this ball game. Isaiah Corden came up big. He had a touchdown. Yeah. And the guy did not give up on the play, and he got it out late. He got it out of there, yeah. But on this, what was it, fourth down? He's like, you know what? I'm not going to be denied on this one. Ty Simpson was 19-35, 122, three touchdowns, zero interceptions. They ran the ball 38 times for 158.
7:49Shannon Sharpe:I just don't understand the simple mistakes that they're making, Ocho. Yeah. The thing I like, at least I like to do, Ocho, when I had a responsibility, I would always ask Kube. Normally I would ask Kube, but sometimes I'd ask my position coach, why are we doing this? Why are you putting me in this formation? Why are you putting me like this? They put Bam Miller. They brought him in an offset, but they put him close to the line because they're anticipating blitz, which means we don't want you. We don't want the guy to get a head start and sit you in the quarterback's lap. We're going to put you close to the line.
8:23Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, how about the hole open up and he don't block a soul? Oh, yeah. I'm looking at the left guard. They got fan protection, which means the tackle's going to kick out. You kick out. You block a man. He blocking the gap. The guy comes up, get pressure on Simpson. I'm like, are you kidding me? It's simple stuff like that. I know you can't convince me. The offensive line didn't tell the guy, guy, his head up, outside eye, most dangerous man. You got a guy outside eye. That's your man. Yeah. You know what? Do you think, obviously, maybe the pressures of a game to this magnitude, you think some of them might be rattled a little bit because of the game they're playing?
9:04That's the only thing I can think of because I know they've gone over it all week. I know you've done it all week in practice I know your offensive line coach He told you what to do In certain situations We're expecting blitz So you don't have to We're going to put you up close We're going to offset you So you can meet him halfway
9:25Shannon Sharpe:Make it easy for you How about they blitz and you don't block him Let me ask you a question Ocho They blitz, you don't block What you going to tell the coach on the sideline Probably I ain't see him How? He ran way by you My point is That's the only reason You can't see him If it was a snake, he'd have bit you And on his way to bite Simpson So I'm just trying to confuse Your center Your center got a He got a big old His right ankle is heavily taped Ocho, an offensive lineman That can't move laterally He ain't no point to you You done. Because how you push off, how you slide to your left, how you kick and slide to your right, how you drive somebody.
10:12Shannon Sharpe:You can't. Boy, I was like, man. I was like, oh, my goodness. But they dodged a bullet. They really dodged a bullet. I mean, Ocho two years ago. No, was it? Yeah, it was last year. Yes, sir. On fourth and 31. When they went, it was fourth and 31. And Jalen Milrow threw the ball in the corner of the end zone. End zone. For a touchdown. Now, two years, three years ago, Bryce Young, they had the comeback that was down. He threw a deep ball. Mm-hmm. And then win it in double overtime, triple overtime, I think. But these games, and this is what makes a rivalry, so what makes it special? Right. Because it doesn't matter the records.
10:55Shannon Sharpe:They're going to play hard. Mm-hmm. But you know what? They're going to play hard. And, I mean, some talent has come out of this game. I mean, Alabama is – we know what Alabama is. Now, Auburn has had some really good players. They haven't won as many national championships as – Alabama. Alabama. Nobody has. Nobody has. They're a 12-time national champion. Actually, a 13-time national champion. Yeah. Coach Bryant won six, Coach Saban won six, and Gene Starlin won one. So they're a 13-time national champion. Nobody can boast that. And you know, if Alabama too, going into this playoff, obviously going in to play Georgia now that they've won this game.
11:33They can't play sloppy like this. Nah, nah. They can't have these kind of miscues. They can't have these kind of misassignments because you're going to get beat.
11:43Shannon Sharpe:You absolutely will. You absolutely will. The game was where I, and I told her, I said, Ocho, look, you throw records at the window. I said, I'm not going to be surprised. I'm not surprised the game came down to the very end. I'm not surprised how close it was and how tight because I don't know why Auburn was tight. You ain't got nothing to lose. You're not going to the bowl. I mean, maybe six and six – well, six and six gets you to a bowl. Yeah. Okay. But Alabama, I get why Alabama's tight. SEC title game, college football playoff. There's a lot at stake. Yeah. A lot at stake. And listen, some of the players played like it too.
12:24They did. Some of them played like it. Hey, can I ask you a question? and maybe you know, maybe someone in the chat, I'm sure there are a lot of Alabama fans in the chat, what's the deal? Why my brother, why Ryan Williams not playing?
12:38Shannon Sharpe:You know, Ocho. My thing is, if he's healthy enough for you to put him out there in certain situations, he's healthy enough to play. He's not the same, and I told people that. He started dropping passes kind of tapering last year, and we saw that. And this year, he picked right up. He's dropping. He's lost his confidence. I'm not saying that he's not hurt or he's not possibly dealing with something off the field but I do believe it's an impact that is confident and he doesn't run to say oh they don't even look his way he didn't get a target tonight yeah and then hey listen I put my foot in my mouth I put my foot in my mouth my tweet is there I should erase it because somebody we know they can't make fun of me because they won the game before the game started I said, I got Ryan Williams having an outer body performance tonight to ensure this win for Alabama.
13:33Man, Unk, not one target. No. Not. So I'm thinking a game of this magnitude, you know, the season didn't go well. You know, he didn't do what we're used to seeing him do as far as his freshman year is concerned. It's been a rough year this year for you. Maybe this game, they're going to use him and put him in position to make some of the plays and make things a little easier for you offensively. Nothing.
14:00Shannon Sharpe:No. Nothing. And we see this. I mean, Ocho, he's a sophomore. He's only 18. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is supposed to be his freshman year. Yeah. Really? Remember now, there's a great chance that he's going to go to the NFL and he'll be 19 years of age. Mm-hmm.
14:21Shannon Sharpe:he's 18. He'll be 19 getting drafted. Oh, that's crazy. It's crazy. Yeah, he left early. He enrolled in spring ball. Yeah. Yes. I mean, I think Kobe, I think he's from Louisville. He's the youngest guy to ever get drafted. I think he got drafted in 19. Number 10 pick to the Houston Texans. Yeah. didn't really work out well for him. But, I mean, he had a great college career. And who knows? If he comes back and puts up numbers his junior year, like he did his freshman year, Ocho, he'll be a first-round draft pick. Because the talent is there. It absolutely is. The talent is there. He just has to, you know, confidence is everything.
15:11Shannon Sharpe:I don't care what anybody tell you. You've got to believe that you are bad mofo. It's huge. It's huge. It's everything, Ocho. I've seen a lot of guys that have talent but don't believe that they belong or don't believe they're as talented as they are. You're in your own way. Own way. In your own way. You couldn't tell me. I didn't belong. Man, listen, me and you both. And the funny thing about that confidence, when I go into games, I envision already doing it. I envision doing it before I even actually go out there and do it. I mean, not a no cocky, no arrogant shit. I mean, that's the way. Well, I was cocky and arrogant, all that.
15:54That's the way I focus. I'm him. Hey, that's the way I get in the zone. I envision doing it and go out there and try to replay exactly what I see in my head.
16:03Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, you can't tell me who invited you. This invitation said I was invited. The moment they sent me a plane ticket and told me to break my ass to Denver. Right. Clearly, I had something that you like. I could do something that you thought I might be able to help your football team. And that's how you have to approach it. And make sure you know your assignment. Be where you're supposed to be. Be on time. I'm not going to cut myself. I'm going to make it hard on you. You're going to have to make a decision. Yes, sir. Damn. He got something. We might need to, hey. You got to hold on to him. But we just got to keep him here and just let him get the offense.
16:40Shannon Sharpe:is let him learn what he's supposed to do and how he's supposed to do it because there's too much talent there. A guy that big, that fast, that strong, he's not afraid to go block anybody. Yeah, let's find a place. Maybe he can play special teams. You damn right can play special teams. If I couldn't, I was going to learn. Hell, how hard it is to tackle somebody, Ocho? Yeah, it ain't that hard. It come down to want to. You got to want to do it. That's it. You want to play in the NFL or you want to go back to Glenville? You want to play in the NFL or you want to go back to Glenville? I think I'd choose A for$10 ,000, Alex.
17:20Shannon Sharpe:That's what I wanted to do. Yeah. But, look, Alabama, you're going to have to play because this game is going to be at the Mercedes-Benz dome. This game is an hour, 70 minutes away from the University of Georgia campus that's in Athens, Georgia. Yeah. So they're going to take 316 and come west. that's going to be a good game. You going? No. Hell, I didn't play at either team. Okay, okay. What I look like standing on the top. Yeah. Great hope. Hopefully the game is well played. Yeah. Hey, Georgia going to the college football playoffs, win, lose, or draw. Right. I don't know if that can be said for Alabama because we're three losses.
18:02Shannon Sharpe:Because people are going to say, well, look at Texas. Texas beat three top ten teams. Right. You lost to Oklahoma. Oklahoma's going. Ole Miss is going to be in there. Georgia is going to be in there. Wait, so even after the night, after this scare, there's a chance if they lose against Georgia, they're out of there? Yeah, hell yeah. I believe so, yes. Man, listen. If they play anything, if they play anything like they did tonight, with all those miscues, all those mistakes, they got to clean that up quick. They didn't turn the ball over, Ocho. They just making mistakes that you can't make. All Auburn did was pressure with zone defense.
18:43Shannon Sharpe:They just play zone. Make you throw in the tight coverages. They got a great play call, proctor oversteps. Here's the thing. On a knife play like that, you got to toss. If the guy goes inside, if he catches that guy by going inside and coming and catching the running back, we need to get another running back. The only way he can blow the play up is if you let him cross your face. If he steps out hard and comes back over your face because now he's right in the lane. I'm like, you just have to look. You might get beat. You might beat me, but you're going to beat me where I want you to beat me. Right.
19:17Shannon Sharpe:It's a toss. Beat me inside. Thank you. I appreciate you. You just say, hey, I just can't let you jab inside and get over the top of it. Because now you're right there in the passing lane. Now you're right there in the running lane.
19:34Shannon Sharpe:Yes. Yes, Alabama beat Georgia in Georgia, yes. But here's the thing. The thing is that the committee is going to look at three losses and Alabama just lost. Texas beat the number three team. Right. Texas also beat three top ten teams. They beat Oklahoma. So it's going to be a – look, I believe Georgia goes if they lose. I believe Ole Miss is in. Right. You see, we thinking with logic, though. You're thinking with logic based on the teams they played plus the teams they played and the teams they won. Well, what if the committee doesn't think like that? What if the committee is not using the same logic we're using as who's supposed to go?
20:26Give me the top right today.
20:33Shannon Sharpe:Yeah.
20:38Shannon Sharpe:Here's the thing. Ohio State, Indiana, Texas A &M, Georgia. I believe Texas Tech goals. I believe Oregon goals. I believe Ole Miss goals. Oklahoma's goals. That's eight teams right there. Right. Notre Dame is going. That's nine. Indiana. Now, if BYU beat Texas Tech, BYU is going. Miami's going to say we got a compelling argument. We're 12-2. Hold on. BYU only had one loss, right? BYU got one loss, yeah. So they'll be 11-1 if they were to win.
21:20Shannon Sharpe:So it's going to be, we thought it would be easy. When it was four teams, now we got 12 teams, and now 13 and 14 team's going to be very disappointed if they don't get that bid.
21:34Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, BYU, okay, that was before today, right? From last week, yeah. But nobody in the top 10 lost. Everybody won today. So Ohio State won, Indiana won, okay. A &M lost. The question is, how far does A &M fall? I don't see them falling out of the top 10. you can't put Notre Dame in front of them they went to Notre Dame and bust their head and plus they only lost one game, Notre Dame has lost two games and one of those losses I hung on you so you can't leapfrog me but you know the committee taking Notre Dame absolutely I don't give a damn what they say
22:23Shannon Sharpe:but it doesn't matter, win or lose Ohio State, Indiana's going. Georgia is going. Oregon is going. I believe Ole Miss is going. Oklahoma is going. Notre Dame, they're taking Notre Dame. Yeah. Miami say, what about us? They 10-2 because they just beat Pitt. Mm-hmm. But I mean, one, two, one, one, two, three, four. I mean, theoretically, the SEC could get five teams in. Because Vanderbilt said, Texas is talking about, you know, there are a lot of teams that go and have a compelling argument, Ocho. But I don't think it's fair. If I make it to my conference championship and I lose and I got the same losses of somebody that didn't play in a conference championship and you put them in and kicked me out, that's some bull jive.
Read the full transcript
23:26That's some bull jive, Ocho. Hey, listen, I know it's bull jive. You know what I think it comes down to? What? One, not only the school, the name, and how much do you bring to the economy being in them goddamn playoffs? Because at the end of the day, it's all about money. Well, first of all, you know Alabama and Texas travel.
23:45Shannon Sharpe:That too. Alabama, Texas. Can you get two big a name than Alabama and Texas? Yeah. Mm-hmm. So that comes into play right there. Of course. I know we're thinking logically about wins and losses, but that committee, they think about something else. How can we generate the most revenue with the teams that we have in the playoffs? And that's why you're taking Notre Dame, because what does Notre Dame do? Travel. Notre Dame travel like— Who played in the ACC championship game? Is it Miami and Virginia?

27:34Shannon Sharpe:Woo! I think Virginia because they beat Vartek.
27:49Man, it's about 60 degrees in here, man.
27:55Shannon Sharpe:Have they figured it out yet?
28:01Shannon Sharpe:Wow. Wow. So Miami theoretically can get left out. Did you tell me they wouldn't take a representative from the ACC? I think so.
28:20Shannon Sharpe:Duke, Virginia. Wow. Duke? Duke? Duke, Virginia what? They playing in the ACC title game. Isn't that automatic? That's a power five conference.
28:38Shannon Sharpe:So Duke in the college football playoff or Virginia in the college football playoff, that's why they want to do away with conferences, championships, Ocho. That don't even sound right. I get Texas. Yes, I know Texas beat Oklahoma. They beat Vanderbilt, and they beat A &M. But all those teams have a better record. So how do I take a three-loss team over a one-loss team?
29:09Shannon Sharpe:Duke? No, I'm talking about the people in the chat were saying, well, Texas beat Vanderbilt, it beat A &M, and it beat Oklahoma. Right. But guess what? They lost more games along the way. Texas A &M lost one game. It's to Texas, yes. But y 'all lost three games. So you want me to put a three-loss team in over a one-loss team?
29:34they could
29:34Shannon Sharpe:somebody's gonna get their feelings hurt they're gonna be upset the committee's gonna look like look they did beat three top ten teams nobody else can say that in the country that they beat three top ten teams at the time they beat them they were top ten and Texas is a big ass brand Texas travels they coming they coming wherever the game at they coming it's going to be very interesting to see well we won't find out until a week from Sunday right? because you got to wait until after the championship games so you'll see what the rankings are but you won't know definitively what's going on until a week from Sunday and then you'll have that's when the selection show is that when the selection show is?
30:34Yeah.
30:40Shannon Sharpe:December 7th. That's a two. Sunday. Next Sunday. Week from Sunday, yeah. All I know is somebody's going to be disappointed. That's some bull jive. The number one Buckeyes took down the number 15 Michigan Wolverines and a snow-covered Michigan Stadium to snap a four-game losing streak to their rival and eliminated the Wolverines from college playoff considerations. Ohio State completed 12-0 regular season and earned a date with number two Indiana in the Big Ten championship game thanks to 233 yards passing and three touchdowns from Julian Sayin. Michigan hung tough for as long as they could, Ocho.
31:24Shannon Sharpe:They just don't have the firepower. They don't have the – I mean, you're playing with a rookie quarterback. I mean, a freshman quarterback. You're only going to be due so much. Bo Jackson had 22 carries for a buck 17. 47 rush attempts, 186 yards. Quiet day from Jeremiah Smith. Jeremiah Smith. Yeah, he had three for 40 and a touchdown. Tate had five for 82 and a touchdown. Didn't need a whole lot. Just as long as we don't turn the ball over, guys. We're good. They had one turnover. They got there early. Bryce Underwood. But like I said, I think Underwood is going to be fine. He is a freshman. He is a true freshman.
32:01Shannon Sharpe:Goes 8 of 18 for 63 yards. That's not nearly enough. They had less than 170 yards of total offense, Ocho. I don't believe you're going to beat Ohio State. You probably need 170 on the ground alone. Yeah, just to be able to compete. To keep Ohio State's offense off the table. Because that's the problem. They got so many weapons at the wide receiver position. They got a top quarterback, and they can run the football. So the last thing I want to do is I don't want them on the field. Because, yeah, we're tough defensively, but we just don't have the kids to deal with their kids. But Michigan, had they won the game, Michigan would have had a compelling argument, Ocho.
32:41Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, they'd have been 10-2. This was their third loss, though, right? Yeah, if they'd have beat Ohio State. Yeah. They'd have had a compelling argument. I do not envy. Because there are some like Ohio State team that got no losses and will have one loss. I think they're no-brainers. Yes. They're no-brainers. Doesn't matter what happened with Indiana or Ohio State. Both of those guys are good. Now, the only thing is they might not get the bye. That may or may not happen. But they're making it. 12-0, so now all of a sudden you 12-1? Yeah. You go ahead. I hate that bye week, especially for a team that are playing really well, I think for some reason, I think it causes you to lose momentum a little bit.
33:28Yeah, it could.
33:32Shannon Sharpe:But if you kind of banged up, you kind of want that. Okay, yeah, yeah. Get some guys healthy because, you know, Jeremiah Smith, and I think it was Tate last week missed time. Right. So I want those guys 100%. You're right, you're right. So it's a catch-22 situation, don't you? because if you're playing well, you want to build on that momentum and just keep going. Yes. Yeah. But here's the thing. If you don't make a college championship, you ain't playing anyway because look at teams that we think are going to be in there. We think Oregon. They're not playing. Oklahoma, Ole Miss. Copenhagen's spit-free pouches are packed full of American-grown tobacco.

37:35Shannon Sharpe:after the game Michigan players protected the logo at midfield. Y 'all, don't even do that. Y 'all done beat us now. Hey, don't get swole. Don't get swole. Right. It ain't worth it. Hey, they serious about that logo, huh? Oh, they did? Yeah. Oh, yeah. But y 'all ain't going to do this on that. Y 'all ain't finna plan nothing. Y 'all ain't about this. And listen, I know they had their time. Yeah. The point where you needed to fight was in that game. You wouldn't have to worry about that logo. Yeah, you defend the logo. Man, I don't know about you, Ocho, but I'm cold. I've been out here for three hours.
38:13And 20 degrees, y 'all handle that.
38:17Shannon Sharpe:Hey, security. Y 'all don't let them stamp on the logo. Hey. I ain't going to get no more frostbite than I'm already frostbitten. Absolutely not. But, look, college football is different than the NFL. The logos and the rivalries, you know what I'm saying, Ocho? Yeah, they mean something. Pittsburgh and Baltimore rivalry is 20 years old. You're talking about these rivalry is 100 years old, Ocho. Right. These rivalry go back so far. They're playing for Paul Bunyan's axe, and they're playing for all kinds of stuff. So I get it. I get it. And, you know, you get kids. You get 17, 18, 19-year-old kids.
38:55Shannon Sharpe:Right, right. And, you know, as just brought to my attention, they planted the flag on our field last year. So we got to get some retribution. I saw Brutus put he X out the Michigan logo and put Ohio State I saw that
39:15but it was a
39:17Shannon Sharpe:Michigan hung tough I thought like okay Michigan y 'all hanging in there y 'all give them much more Ryan they spoke to Shamor more after the game if we don't want a problem we got to get them out of here I'm not going to plant any flags none of that first of all I came for problems. That's why I'm here. I showed up. I want problems. Right. Now, if you don't want no problems,
39:45Shannon Sharpe:go ahead and take your team in there. Y 'all don't see what we doing. Right. And you won't know. But I'm planting a Buckeye fag somewhere. Corner of the end zone. Goalpost. Yeah. But something, I'm erecting something up in here. Yeah, but listen. Are we clear? Yeah. It ain't no better place to plant that fag than the middle of that field with that logo at. Now, all of a sudden, y 'all don't want no problems. But y 'all had no problem last year when y 'all planted the flag in the horseshoe. Oh, they did it to them last year? Yeah. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. I got to get my get back. Yeah.
40:24I mean, not with all them players standing out there. Well, I'm going to steal the mascot.
40:29Shannon Sharpe:I'm going to steal the Wolverine next year. I'm getting something I want retribution like I told Goose I want restitution
40:43Shannon Sharpe:I mean I wish
40:49Shannon Sharpe:I'm trying to think who would be our rival in Savannah State y 'all had to have somebody right there close huh everybody was close we had Fort Valley, Albany State we had Morehouse Clark Mo Brown Well, God damn. Yeah. Everybody was within three, three and a half hours, Ocho. Yeah. I mean... They wasn't planting nothing on Savannah State. As a matter of fact, I ain't lose that much at Savannah State. Not to them bums. But I kicked their ass in their place a lot. Mm-hmm. Damn. Show did. Yeah. Speaking of HBCU, You see Marshall Falk just got a job. At Southern. Yeah. At Southern? Yeah. Yeah. Home Tide to Aide.
41:36Shannon Sharpe:Perfect. That's dope. Perfect. Man, I ain't even know Falk wanted a coach. He said he didn't want a coach until, you know, time got him into it. You know what the funny thing about it is you said you don't want to either until I get you into it. Mm-mm. Same concept. No. Ocho, Ocho, man, look here. I didn't play for either team, and I'm upset all the missed assignments. Can you imagine my team? And I done gone over this ish? See, you don't understand. I don't. You coaching, you'll be able to get through them players a different way. You're just not a player. You're a coach. You're going to teach lessons.
42:15Shannon Sharpe:Did I tell you?
42:33You going to manhandle the kids when they mess up?
42:38Shannon Sharpe:Hey, man, hey. Hey, the old Bobby Knight days, remember how Bobby was headbutt? Oh, you see the Michigan player headbutt the referee? Yeah, that was an accident, wasn't it? No, it was no accident. did.
42:57Hey, that goddamn Bobby Knight boy, he did not care.
43:01Shannon Sharpe:And Ocho, how you... Ocho, how I go sit on... I'm gonna go sit on somebody and grab my couch, mom couch. Right. Well, you know, you gotta be tough to play for Hunk.
43:18Yeah.
43:22Shannon Sharpe:No, Ocho, I just ain't got it in me, Ocho. And listen, I'm sure Deion said the same thing. I'm sure my - No, time is open. Listen, hold on. I used to ask Time all the time when he was coaching his kids. I said, bro, how you got patience? Time, bro, you historically, you great, great, beyond great. Right. How you tolerate mistakes? And he's like, man, they kids. I don't, he's like, I don't, he says, I don't look at the kids and say, because that's what coaches mess up with. Such and such should have made that play. Or he could have made that play. I could have made that play. No. You just keep working with them and hopefully they figure it out.
44:03Shannon Sharpe:I said, oh, no. Yeah. You know, Eddie George didn't want to coach either. Deshaun Jackson didn't want to coach. Michael Vick ain't want to coach.
44:14I'm just listen sometimes sometimes you don't see what God have for you because your eyes close
44:22Shannon Sharpe:because see because what's going to happen Ocho let's just say for the sake of argument I get the kids in there you go the kid says he going to transfer go home and tell his mom and dad or his grandma man uh uh Coach Sharp effing over me I'm going to call his family in I'm going to call him and say look here here's the tape now that's your son see we already got him circled that's your son right there That's your grandson right there. Now, he told you I was effing over him. He effing over me. You see that? No.
44:56Shannon Sharpe:He done came home and told y 'all, man, Coach Sharp effing over me. Now, that's your son with the circle around him. Yeah, and you're going to pull up the film for the family? Yep. See, he effing over me. See, that's the kind of coaching we need. We need that. That's the kind of coaching we need. That's the kind of carry-on. That's what we need in college football. Kids can't go home and laugh to the parents, talk about, you know, they not giving me an opportunity. Boom. You pull up that film. Let me show you why you not getting no opportunities. Yeah. Yeah, I like that. Man, we had a – my freshman year.
45:35Shannon Sharpe:So, I was a black – me and Squirrel, we ended up being the start of the next year. But we kind of rotated. We rotated players, but I did start like this. Oh, got a very special guest joining us. He caught the game-winning touchdown. He caught the first touchdown. He caught the second touchdown. And he caught the third touchdown. He probably should have had a third touchdown earlier. He seemed like he relaxed and let the DB get it out. Here he is, the outstanding wide receiver from Alabama, Isaiah Horton. Isaiah, what's going on, bro? What's going on? What's up, Ray? We're doing great, man. We're good.
46:06Shannon Sharpe:Talk to us about this game, the ebbs and flow. You get out to a 17-0 lead. They come. They will it down. They tie the ball game. Tell us about the emotions because you know what's at stake. A berth in the SEC championship game, potential berth in the college football playoffs. So there's a lot of riding on this game for you, not nearly as much, but just bragging rights for them. Yeah, for sure. As a team, man, we knew what it was coming into this game. It was going to be hard playing in this environment and playing at the stadium. But, you know, all we have to do is execute, man. Just do I want to know, do I job, let everything get as far as I play.
46:40I know you say being at the game, the magnitude of this game, you say all you have to do is just execute. How are you nervous? Are you nervous before a game like this, or you still have the same approach regardless to the game you're playing? No, I'm always cool, calm, and collected just because I'm going to overthink myself. So if I go out there, if I've got energy, I'm going to always be concerned regardless. But when it's time to, you know, when I'm on the field, I'm cool coming. Yeah, okay.
47:10Shannon Sharpe:But did they do anything different than what you guys have seen on film? Because it seemed like they played a lot of zone. There was not a whole lot of man coverage. But they were generating a lot of pressure with just a four-man rush. And occasionally they'll bring an extra guy. But they seemed like they had everything zoned off. Did you see anything different in the game than what they had shown on tape? No, it really wasn't nothing different. I was just saying, they were sending that person for sure. They knew what they were doing on that part. But it was good. Like, we expected that. We knew what it was.
47:42And, you know, we just kept it simple. Make simple, make routine plays, big plays. And let the big plays come.
47:49Shannon Sharpe:Now you know what's in front of you. You're taking care of business. You did what you needed to do. You go into the SEC championship game. You're going to face a team that you'd already played. You've already beaten. What is your expectation? What can we expect from this Alabama? because the last four games, the last month, Isaiah, you guys haven't been at your best. When we saw you against Georgia, we saw you against Vanderbilt. That was some of your best football. We haven't seen that team both offensively, defensively, and special teams. What can we expect Saturday in the Mercedes-Benz doing in Atlanta, Georgia?
48:22Sure. You can expect us to go back to the drawing board, fix our mistakes first and foremost. You can expect us to come down and be dominant. But we're going to do our part during the week. We know what it is. We know what it's at stake. We've got to really buy in and lock in. But it's not like we haven't been finished. We really have been there. But we've got to pick it up in our spot. It's something different. And you know, the fact that you've already played Georgia before, are there any issues or is there anything you're worried about defensively from them? Or the fact that you've already played them, are you confident that from an individual standpoint for you, you feel you'd be able to do what you want?
49:04Yeah. From an individual standpoint, you know. I mean, since you've already played him, you know, when you've played an opponent already, you've seen the DB, you've seen safety, you've seen the defensive schemes that they do run. Most of the time, I don't know how it is, you know, in college, for younger receivers, but for us, there's somewhat a comfortability when you're familiar with something that you see all the time. Yeah. No, yeah, exactly. No, it is. And I respect them guys on that side of the ball, too. But I also know what it is at the end of the day, like you said. So we're going to go back to the drawing board.
49:38Yeah, we're going to see much already. Sure.
49:41Shannon Sharpe:Well, the task is not done. Because obviously, you know, when you go to Alabama, you expect to play for an SEC title and you expect to play for a national title. You guys came up a little short last year, but here you are back in this position again. Now you're going to play a team that you faced before with the opportunity to potentially get in the college football playoffs because that's your ultimate goal, is to be a national champion in the NCAA. So what can we expect? What should we expect from this Alabama team that we haven't seen in the previous month? Well, you can just expect us to be tough.
50:14I ain't going to lie. I mean, like, y 'all can just expect us to come out with more of this.
50:24Start out fast. Yeah. Start out fast.
50:28Shannon Sharpe:That's it. Does it help that you, like Ochoa said, that you've already played? See, for me, Isaiah, to be honest with you, I always felt it was easier to play a team the second time if we had lost the first time. Because now I can get you guys undivided attention. You can say, see, that was a play we could have made and could have flipped the outcome of the game. Sometimes when you beat a team before, you get comfortable and think it's going to be a cakewalk to walk back in there and beat them again. They make adjustments, and we don't necessarily make the adjustments that we need to. What is your take on playing the team the second time around?
51:00You know, we just listen to our coaches, go back to the dorm board, you know, and just see what they got to tell us this week.
51:09Shannon Sharpe:You know what? A lot of people are asking us, Isaiah, Ryan Williams. He had that sensational freshman season, and I don't know if he's been nicked. It seems like he was in and out of the game. I mean, he was about to come in the game, and they said, no, come back over, and then he'd go back in the game. And it's hard. You know as a wide receiver, it's all about rhythm. It's all about timing. It's hard to just run in and out of the ballgame, especially when you're used to playing the entirety of the game. So is he Nick? I mean, what's kind of going on with him? Because he doesn't look like the Ryan Williams that was the freshman All-American that we used to see.
51:47Yeah, no, Ryan's fine. He's doing all right. He's doing his stuff. He's still working on it. and we're fine. We're doing well. And, you know, we're going to, like I was going to say, we're going to go back to the golf ball. We're going to keep going. You know, we're going to keep going. And there ain't nothing else to it.
52:08Shannon Sharpe:Well, congratulations, Isaiah, on a big win. Isaiah Horton, five catches, 35 yards, three touchdowns, the game-winning touchdown as the Alabama Crimson Tide win, 27-20 over the University of Auburn in the Iron Bowl. as Alabama stamps their trip back to the SEC championship game. Yes, sir. Isaiah, thanks for joining us, man. Appreciate it. Good luck. Stay healthy. And next week, hopefully you all get that bid to go to the college football playoffs. All right, appreciate you, bro. Why? Yes. That was the outstanding wide receiver from the University of Alabama, Isaiah Horton. He had five catches for 35 yards and three touchdowns.
52:50Shannon Sharpe:None bigger than that final touchdown because it was on fourth down. Yeah. And Ocho, because you haven't played the game, you kind of get a sense. Like, man, they ran that bull job play on third down. They got to be going for it on fourth. Why the hell would you run that damn play? Right. So that lets me know because I'm like, okay, that's a throwaway play. You're definitely going for it on fourth down. Because the head coach has already told the OC, if the OC is not the head coach, he's already told him, this is two downs. Yeah, absolutely. You get two downs and get whatever we need. I mean, whether first down or a touchdown, but you got two down to do whatever you need to get done.
53:26Shannon Sharpe:And so when looking at some of the plays, because I was like, I don't know what Alabama's offensive coordinator is calling. And I said, well, since you called that bull jive, you got to be going forward on fourth down. Oh, what I was saying, so Coach Turner had his arm just like this. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Just like this here. And Coach Davis was talking. And the dude just kept muttering under his breath. Right, but loud enough so he could hear him, though. Loud enough so he could hear him. I don't know if Coach Davis could hear it, but Coach Turner, because you know I'm on one knee, because you know back then, Ocho, you get on one knee with the coach.
54:00Shannon Sharpe:You're coach talking. You get on one knee. You listen. So I'm on one knee. Coach Turner, like, behind me, the dude right here, he kept talking. Boy, Coach Turner said, fire! Wait, he hit him? Yeah. Wait, hold on. all on timeout. The coach hit the player in the face. Oh, he hit the helmet. The offensive coordinator, no. In the face, he slapped the taste out of his mouth. And then he jumped up to my man. Man, he slapped me. Coach said, yeah, I'll do it again. Whoa, but what the hell? But y 'all had like the longest yard type team. What? So what happened after that? They started squabbling? Nah. He didn't want none of Coach Turner.
54:54Shannon Sharpe:And Coach Turner was old. Coach Turner was probably about 55. Hey, Coach Turner ready to throw them things, huh? He slapped him. Man, we had Coach Dude was fighting at practice. Yeah. Coach reached down and grabbed him by the back of his pants. Yeah. Pulled his jock off. Pulled his jock off. I swear. I swear. Reached down just like this here. He was trying to pick him up by his pants. and poured his whole jock, had the jock in his hand. Hold on, what Coach Turner, was like an MMA dude or something? Nah, Coach Turner, he grew up hard, though. He grew up back then where they really put hands on players.
55:34Shannon Sharpe:In high school, Coach, he grew up in high school. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They really, really put hands on you. Right. Yes, absolutely. I can honestly say, Coach Turner, Coach Davis, never yelled at me. One time, Coach Davis, he didn't yell at me. He asked me where I was going. Me and the offensive coordinator got into it, rest his soul. Ran out Ocho. Yeah. Run it again. Now, he was our first year offensive coordinator. Oh, I remember you told me this. You had to keep running it over and over? Yeah! All I'm asking Ocho, I'm asking, okay, what do you want me to do? Ocho, I break down and break out. Run it again.
56:12Shannon Sharpe:I speed cut it. Break out. So now I really don't know what I'm doing. I say, you know what? Maybe I'm planting off my inside foot. I need to play it on my outside foot when I roll it, Ocho. Okay, no problem. I made sure I rolled it. Boom. Run it again. I say, what am I doing wrong, coach? Run the play again.
56:36And you got up out of there, huh?
56:38Shannon Sharpe:Coach Davis said, hey, Holmes, where you going? He yelled. All I heard when I was walking through the pants to go back, he said, I told you, don't F with that one.
