What's going on, everybody? Welcome in Snap's post game on Saturday. A bit of a different snaps post game as we are both live here in Baton Rouge. Aaron Murray, Tee Bob A Bear here. Aaron getting ready to go call LSU Grambling later tonight. Very excited to be part of draft Kings. Very excited to talk about this first slate of games just now.

Aaron, how about it, dude? Shadur Sanders and Colorado with all the pressure, so many people wanting them to fail, they show up and they take care of businessmen. And they did in a different way. I mean, last week was a shootout versus TCU in the week one, just back and forth, back and forth. they had to do it with offense.

They had to do with explosive plays down the field. And that wasn't the case. I mean, zero, zero after the first quarter. We get into the second quarter, just a lot of punting. The offense seemed to stall a lot versus first Nebraska, but they stayed patient. I think that to me was the one good side about Chardour and this offense is when things weren't going great, they weren't pressing. They weren't forcing it.

They let the game come to them. And all of a sudden, big play started to happen. Obviously, we'll get into all the issues for Nebraska and some of the turnovers and Jeff Sims, et cetera, et cetera. But Colorado showed us they can win a different style of football. And I think I said to this team about midway through the game, that's a good football team. It's just a solid team. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's just a good football team on both sides from what we've seen for the first two weeks. I mean, something like the defense is like, look, the defense is not the most physically imposing, certainly on the D line. They look maybe a little light, but they, they play hard, man. Like they know that they're well coached in terms of the, again, execution. Same thing you talked about last week. They know where to be. They play hard.

They hit hard. They swarm to the ball. They don't miss a lot of tackles. Like the discipline of Colorado continues to shine. And it's only week two. Once again, we're going to read it. It's week two of a team that was put together six months ago.

Yeah. And it looks like a weld oil machine. It looks like a team that's been together for two or three years. It looks like a senior led football team that you've been able to retain guys for three or four years in the system. That's probably the craziest part about it. I mean, look, I feel like, too, you know, I never want to be a bat packy show. Like, we were right here. We were right.

On this game, I mean, and I don't think a lot of people did. It wasn't due to this, but like we had it nailed, right? Like the bottom line was the difference in quarterback. Yes. Like we said the other day, you saw Shooter Sanders put together one of the most flawless performances we've ever seen. And then you saw Jeff Sims not just make errors, but make three of the worst errors I've ever seen in my entire life. And that carried over.

of this game. I mean, like, the difference were the two quarterbacks. And what's interesting is early on, Aaron, Nebraska's defense was playing fucking tough, dude. So early on, it was more about Jeff Sims being bad. And then eventually it shifted back to, oh, wait, no, shooter Sanders is just the dude is great. Yeah. He makes constant good decisions. One thing I feel like I learned about him today, and I want you to expound on as the quarterback is, um, he, he, he has a touch on his balls. At every level, it's a short pass, you know, working over the middle, deep. Every level of throw, he just, he just places in there. He doesn't always rock, but he still makes it.

It's not a weak throw. It just got a nice touch to it. And his escapability while staying cool, collected, keeping his eyes downfield. I mean, the two-point conversion. Oh, my God. Me, dude, it's unreal. Yeah, he's sneaky athletic. He's not his dad, but he's sneaky athletic to get out some of these crazy situations.

I'll say this right now, watching for the first two weeks of season, there was a pecking order of quarterbacks in the PAC 12. And what do we talk about at the end of the year, that the PAC 12 is loaded with quarterbacks? Yeah. Through two weeks watching him and say whatever you want about TCU, say whatever you want about Nebraska. You knew good quarterback play when you see good quarterback play,

you know, especially playing the position. Should there's the second best quarterback right now in the PAC 12. Okay, hold on. The second best quarterback playing inside of the PAC 12, but behind K. Leib Williams. Yes. Why? What?

I mean, come on now, though. What is he done for what is he done? No, no. Like, why, why is he just leaping Michael Pinnock's Jr. all of a sudden? Like, like, is it you're saying it shoulder's style of success in your style of success in the way in which he's playing the football game right now. To me, I am, if I'm an NFL scout, I am salivating over this kid, escapeability, arm strength, touch, decision making. there's not a box at the moment that he's not checking being able to handle the pressure yeah that's another thing too like being able to be under a microscope and handle that pressure

and all the attention and everything that comes with being Dion Sanders son and then to go out there and execute and also execute with new receivers too like yeah Travis is his guy from a year ago from the HPCU but this is a brand new team so he's been able to be a leader of a team that's 60, 70 new guys and go out there and run an offense as efficient that he's run. Yeah, I think he's the second best quarterback in that conference right now. I mean, it's not as crazy as it sounds. Obviously, I mean, you look at the stat line again today. Those are 500 yards of game number one against what I think is a much better defense in

Nebraska. Yep. He comes out and by the end of the day, 31 to 42, 3993 through the air, two more touchdowns. So is that, what is that? So now that's nearly a thousand yards. It's about, I've got to be around. 70% go actually let's just look it up on the year so far um it's it's it's it's it boggles the mind and 74% completion that was today uh on the season he's 81% completion what

four touchdowns those it's crazy stats whatever it's crazy stats he's putting up right now um and and again it's not uh it's it's not even and i don't mean to demean the success of like a henn and hooker and this week you get out with pinnicks but but but it is more um it's a more fleshed out game than maybe you saw out of like a hinden hooker last year where it's like a lot of deep balls a lot of a lot of threat through just pure rocket arm strength but there's like a consistency a touch and it's um it it immediately makes you relevant i mean it immediately makes you relevant and i know we're not going to talk about Travis hundred a because it doesn't pick but i mean you look up again plays all the plays three catches 73 yards still has a massive

day. How about Xavier Weaver though? Yeah. Went over 100 yards in the first game. He kind of got lost in the shovel bit because how couldn't you when you have two superstars burst onto the scene? But now falls up 100 yards in game number one with 10 catches for 170 and another score. So the weapons of Colorado, like we kind of felt coming into this game, end up being the difference.

Offensive line and the defensive line play, were they great? Were they perfect? Did they give up some sacks? I don't know how exactly sex they gave up in the game. I mean, a decent amount, actually. But I still. I still. think that that is a unit on both sides of the football that are that are more impressed than than what we anticipated heading into the season some of those sacks too were you know we're on shirad uh shudur shoulder sure sure sure sure holding onto the ball a little bit too long i think that's the one thing that if you want to go in there and critique his game a little bit through the first

two weeks is at times he's trying to be a little bit too creative and that you know that kills an offense line and you know some of the sacks were on him compared to the big boys up front but i thought for for for the big question of could this team handle, you know, defenses that were big and physical at the line of scrimmage, which Nebraska is. Nebraska. And you go back to Washington, week one. That is a very physical football team at the line of scrimmage on the defense at the

football. I thought they played pretty well. I thought they held up really, really well in this game. I would say, you're the offensive line you're saying. Yes. Yeah. I agree. I know that this is going to sound hyperbolic.

Okay. But for those you that don't know, and I'm sorry, Rome, I can barely read my window system. I can barely read the comments. that you're put in there. But I am going to get to your comments in a minute. But for those you don't know, I cover LSU mainly, right? And so I watched Joe Burrow firsthand. And it is not an exaggeration.

Like he reminds me so much of how Joe Burrow looked at that 2019 year. And it's even down to holding on to the ball too long. Yeah. Because that is something that Burrow did because he knew a lot of the times he could extend the play. He was he was elusive enough in the pocket where he was ever looking to run, maybe every now and then what you saw like maybe once or twice this game, but no, extend the play and find somebody downfield.

Again, just the calm, cool, collected nature as he's working at avoiding defenders. And yes, will it lead to sacks? Absolutely. But on the college level, more often than not, Shudor Sanders' talent will be able to get away with that and make it the right choice. And how many times in the second half did we see a third and long situation where he was able to use those legs, escape and then be able to convert the first down. Yeah, exactly. So like, yeah, it's like a, I take a sack for five yards,

but then all of a sudden, the next play I turn around and get a 15-yard gain. So like you're waiting for your moment to strike. You're waiting for that big play. And that's that's the maturity. And I don't want them to continue to have to take sacks. And I think that there's a fine balance of playing the quarterback position of taking chances and being risky in the pocket and holding it for that last second to allow your receiver to get open or to see that window down the field. He's going to continue to find that balance throughout the season.

but it still goes to the decision-making of quarterbacking one-on-one. What's your first job as a quarterback? Well, your first job is to take care of the football. Yeah. And he's done that while making explosive plays. Like he is pushing the ball down the field. He is buying time in the pocket. He is throwing it over and over again, 20, 30, 40 yards on the field.

Yet there are two games, knock on wood for Colorado. There hasn't been turnovers. Yeah. And rarely, I can't even think of a time in my head because he's throwing the ball, what close to 80 times 90 times yeah yeah it is hard for me right now to even think of oh I remember a play where it was almost interception or he put the ball in harm's way

very few times if any as he put the ball in a situation where the defense had a chance to make a play on it there was one time today where it kind of looked like it live but then you watched the replay and you saw that um that actually no the defender's back was turned and he knew that and he was just throwing it right over his shoulder which again speaks to like elite awareness out of the quarterback.

Andy Jay is Corn Hub dead and is it now prime up? Look, corn hub remains a work in progress. And I can see the comments you're putting in there. Not, bro. My bad. Corn hub remains a work in progress. Dead.

The Blackshirt defense looks great. On the corn hub front. Well, yeah. I mean, first half. What do you want to fucking do when you turn the ball over? I get it. I know.

I know. I know. The point of it when it comes to Nebraska, though, Aaron, okay, we just championed us being right. Yeah. We also spent an entire offseason saying Nebraska might be better than we thought because of Jeff Sims. Yeah. And that looks dumb as fuck now because for all the good that Jeff Sims can do the consistency of the bad and,

and not just the somewhat bad, like, oh, can't really complete a pass on third down. Or so I know, like the dropping snaps when you can't have it. Like any time Nebraska early on got any offensive momentum, it was immediately blown up by a very easily easily fixable Jeffs into say. And I don't think they're going to win the game regardless of some of those mistakes. But yeah, those are those are those are those are issues that that shouldn't arise. The dropping of the snap the twice not just one time, but two times where you have a tight end fullback motioning from one side of the field to the other. And you're not timing up the snap properly to to essentially cause two fumbles on the play where the guys having to dodge the ball the

first time he knocks it. Luckily that he was able to get it second time turn out to be a turnover. that's on the quarterback. You work that all week long of when to give the communication, whether it's a foot, a clap, if you're able to use cadence, whatever is you have to time that up. And when you're on the road, when you're at home and you can use cadence, any of those jet motions, you can push the limit a little bit because you are the one doing it.

But when you're on the road, man, I would rather let the guy go past the center and make sure it's a clean snap. Like you just you you have to be mature when you're on the road as a quarterback. You can't put it in harm's way. And now it's been two weeks in a row where Jeff Sims is. Now being great. And you and you are like, man, what point are you going to put the backup quarterback in? And I know the backup quarterback came in there through a touchdown, but I don't know if there's much improvement of like this.

The backup quarterbacking going there when you football. And this is why I'm almost punting on the corn hub until another year is because, you know, nothing matters much as quarterback. And I feel like you almost witnessed the death of. a career today in Jeff Sims. Yeah. Maybe not because they don't have another choice, right? It's a real hastick with him and he allows him to improve.

But at the end of the first half, that felt like a man who was broken. He just, his entire demeanor. What do we talk about? We talked about this in our pregame show. If Nebraska wanted to win the football game, Jeff Sims was going to have to run the ball 25 to 35 times. And you were essentially just going to have to say, you know what? This is a wildcat quarterback type situation.

We're going to run RPO's and zone reads and just keep it close and not turn the ball. over yeah and and understand that we do have a good defense and as long as we don't shoot ourselves in the foot we have a chance at least make it a four-quarter game like they just got to get to the fourth quarter and and without making mistakes I think you continue to build this offense that is going to I mean they ran the ball to two more double up from what they threw the ball they ran the ball 42 times through it 22 times so you're going to have to continue to do that but eliminate the turnovers that's that's going to be the key well and the

is I can take home. It sounds weird, but I can take Jeff Sims throwing picks. I can't take him just continuously fumbling snaps. I mean, that, that's what gets you bench. Shout out that kid, DJL for the $2 super chat and a $5 super chat saying, Cormani McLean is going to hit the transfer portal. You heard it here first. Um, Coriodeo, uh, Cori Cho says, I don't know Jack Black did commentary, but besides that, the stream is fire. I'm subscribing. Hell yes, YouTube.com says at volume steps. Hit the sub button, boys. We are your guides throughout. all of college football season. Okay, there's a lot of talk.

I saw Cal and some others discussing this in the chat. How high is Colorado ceiling? We played this game last week, and we said, okay, you know what? I immediately have them as good or better than the entire middle tier. I didn't yet have them with Washington, USC, Utah, and Oregon. Like, that's a big four. Is it now a big five? It's a big five.

You're putting Colorado in there already? I would put them. I mean, the way the way Utah, the way Utah look today, and I know it's a Utah minus Camerizing. I know it's a Utah minus Camerizing. And they'll be playing Colorado goes on the road to Utah to end the season. So obviously Camerizing will be in that game.

That's a completely different thing. But it goes back to the quarterback situation. When you have elite quarterback play, you're going to be put into that next tier. Yeah. Yeah, it's how it works. Like right now you have one of the best quarterbacks in the Pac-12. You have probably the best player inside the,

back 12 and Travis Hunter. You have other top tier receivers. You have a team that's playing with a lot of confidence at the moment. Listen, we have, they're going to be challenging two weeks. They go on the road against Oregon. Then they play USC right after that at home. Like that's, I'll be, that's going to answer all of our questions. But the way I've seen them play in two weeks, those are going to be competitive football

game. Yeah. Yeah. When you have Shurdur playing the way he's playing right now, they will be competitive in every single game this season. Yeah, for me, too, it's just going to be a matter of whether or not the, as you get to the top tier, Shudur is that level, the skill positions are that level. And while I love the execution of the defense, how hard they play, how well they tackle.

What's the difference in Colorado and USC? Yeah, I guess that's true. I mean, what is the difference? I mean, USC's defense looks objectively way worse in Colorado. I'm going to do my wife's parting pass. Okay, yeah. Yeah, I think that's the biggest thing. I mean, if you want to talk about, like, who right now is the top team in the Pac-12?

Like, if we're going to just compare them to USC, USC still needs a lot. They have to prove a lot to us when it comes to the defense side of the football. Like, how good are they on that side? Like, yeah, Colorado wasn't great last week. And yes, they didn't play maybe a top-tier offense in Nebraska this week. But they're doing a lot of good things. They're getting turnovers.

They're causing issues on the opposite side of the football. They're tackling wall in space. They're gang tackling as well at all time. So I look at this team. I say, okay, great quarterback, really good skill, defense that has a good back end that is playing harder the front seven. What is the difference between Colorado and USC? And I honestly, right now, I don't see a lot of it.

Shardur solves a lot of problems for that football team the way he's managing the football game right now. Aaron, chill out, dude. That's my mom right there, okay? Be sweet. Hello, hello Be sweet What's going on?

She's checking out out the office Okay, you have fun of the game They're going to go do a little LSU tail game Right All right, sorry about that boys All right, let's get to some of these comments

What did you'll just Randy Gilbert They said the corn hub Was going to beat over Hyped Colorado Yeah, I mean, we did not A lot of people did And well, you know, you found out You Believe Now says KP

I saw Where's my, who said it? I saw Where's my? music. Did you see Dion Sanders pregame from last game? No. Oh, yeah. Play that on snaps. Oh, the speech. It was so good. Anytime you have your team finishing your sentences and understanding where you're going like

that's. Would you see practice yesterday? He was essentially saying like this is you don't let someone to your block into your house and disrespect you. And same thing, they were in sync with him. That's a team that believes in their head coach. He tells them they go jump off a cliff. They're going to jump off a cliff. This is why I mean, this is why I made that over four a half bet back in the day is because we saw prime coaching jackson state talking to the players and i was like holy shit this guy is a guy that you want to play for now i had no clue that he had a first round talent at quarterback no idea like i thought shudor i'm guilty i am guilty for all the pat on the back of doing i am guilty of being like you know his hbccc stats were

insane but like a relatively small amount yeah should carry over from that and not only i mean no it's somebody said a chat earlier it's 900 fucking yards 78 per se cap completion and I think seven touchdowns of the air, one on the ground. So far, it's perfect. And he's been on the biggest stage. Like you said, handling the pressure, big noon kickoff two weeks in a row,

Normally not together, but Aaron's in town about to call the LSU game. One thing that is going to get completely lost in the shuffle that I really wanted to highlight about Colorado, is at the very beginning of this game, Shudurr Sanders slid. Wait, wait, your mom brought you a coffee and you didn't have her?

She said she got an extra iced coffee, dude. Oh, yeah, yeah, see? See, you think she has a crushing you and everything. I did think she had a crush in you and she had to be. Somehow, T-Bal's mom decided to come in to town the same weekend that I was here calling it game. And it's funny because it's happened twice now. And it's like the only two times she's been in like six months.

But she didn't bring you a coffee. So fuck you. You're not going to sleep with my mom. No, but this is something I want to highlight because this is going to get a complete loss in the shuffle. But at the very beginning of this game, Shudor Sanders rolled out and he slides. And the Nebraska defender hit him,

but it wasn't a penalty. Like he didn't mean to he tried to hold up. He was already committed, right? When Shudor slid. But Beaks 78, their tackle, Washington, Sabian Washington came over there and he fucking chest bumped that dude and he got an unnecessary roughness penalty.

Yes. Right? I don't hate that penalty. No. I fucking loved that penalty because it is indicative of the toughness and the attitude that has powered this Colorado team through these first two weeks.

I mean, when you see the video where Prime's getting on him at practicing, if that motherfucker fights, you better not be walking. He didn't say that because he doesn't curse. Right. But if he's figured two boys, like you ain't run away. Like you got to fight. that that that that aggression that that is what has helped you power that confidence it's all embodied

in him standing up for shooter taking that penalty but basically setting the tone that look you ain't going to fuck with my guy yes you ain't going to touch my guy it's the same attitude prime to about pregame like you said in walkthroughs yesterday you're going to let somebody come to your house disrespect you and your family saving Washington told you out of the bat not that ain't happen and i love that good ass penalty in front of a home crowd that's been just I mean, good for Colorado fans. A second Saturday in a row where you're just, everything tastes a little sweeter.

You got a spring in your step. Wait, hey, drink drinks on Joel Klatt tonight. You know he's going to be turned up in Boulder tonight. What was the, what was the, what was your question about who's higher earlier? Oh, yeah. Now, I saw this on Twitter. It's like, who's higher right now,

the state of Colorado or Dion's essentially? Dionne's stock. Dionne's stock. Both. Both are astronomically. high and I wish I was there. I wish I was in Boulder. Getting high with the rest of Colorado as well.

Let's see. What's up, boys, Nebraska D. Kemp in the game that first half. Yeah, I mean, it did, but, you know, there's too many turnovers. And again, when you go against, like, this was the exact thing we said all week. Nebraska would be able to keep pace.

That is the definition of not keeping pace. Because you could stop them a few times, but eventually Shadur. And somebody asked about this earlier saying, seems like it takes you do a couple series to to kind of get into the flow state. As a quarterback, what is it? Like, how's that work? Let's also think, when have they been playing?

It's the big noon kickoff, but it's 11 and was it at 10 o'clock kickoff, right? Colorado Mountain time? Yeah, yeah, so it's a 10 o'clock kickoff. Oh, that's weird. Dude, the juices are still, it takes some time to get going, man. That's early. It's hell in the morning for those guys. So, like, that, that goes into it a little bit as well.

You're not going to come out guns, blaze. scoring 14, 21 points in the first quarter all the time. Like it takes time to get into your rhythm, see what the defense is trying to present. Let's not forget, like defenses Nebraska, no one, no one knew what this offense was going to look like. No one knew. So defenses are going to start trying to figure out, okay, how do we best suit and face Nebraska? How would you play them?

How would you play them from watching Colorado as close as we have through two games? I would do something to get in Nebraska. For years. Okay. I would continue to bring pressure. but then I would mix in drop eight because drop eight seem to be working early on until Colorado can can get a little bit more consistent running the football

I mean that's going to be the big issue we talk about Ricardo week in a week out can they just line up and run the football and have success can they get to third and manage more is it is it is a senior is going to have to be a you know Superman on third and long situations over and over again so I would continue in early downs and try to mix up the pressure a little bit and then just drop eight which Nebraska did like once in the Nebraska because defense didn't lose this game for them. No.

They ran out of gas because their offense was so bad. And their offense kept putting them in bad situations. I thought the defense, the game plan was really good. Making a difference. As Kyle Bigglo, people are not talking about at all, but TB 12, Tom Brady is mentoring him. Yeah, Chad brought that up last week. And, well, he is playing as sound as Brady.

Somebody said, Xavier Reaver for Blitnikoff. Like, yeah, sure. I mean, here early on, what receivers had a better two weeks? We'll see what happens out of Washington today, but they're not playing anybody that is actually going to, is actually going to be, is actually going to matter. Oh, one part of this Colorado team, too, kind of overlooked a little bit. Jay's Philly. Jay Feely's kid, good kicker.

Yeah. Been really solid. And if you're talking about toppling either Oregon, USC, like, if you're going to upset one of the big boys, it's probably going to come down to a field goal at some point. And so J. Sealy will have a massive impact eventually on this season. Trugging with Tony saying the defense played much better. Yeah, they did.

Like we said, man, the Nebraska, or excuse me, the Colorado defense is they're not just going to suddenly grow huge or Uber talented, though they're certainly, I mean, their secondary is good. But they play hard and they discipline and they tackle and they swarm to the ball and they know where they're supposed to be. Like that was one of the main problems of LSU last week. They didn't know where they were supposed to be in that zone coverage. It kind of reminds me once we're going to keep, we'll keep bringing it back to like what's the difference between Colorado and USC this year last year. Colorado is kind of the same mold right now. They're playing a lead at the quarterback position. And then they're winning the turnover battle.

Yeah. And sometimes you just got to take advantage of that. Like USC last year had an incredible season when it came to turnover, interceptions. Yeah, just stupid numbers. And that kind of massed some of the issues on that defense side of the football. Like, you know,

they were playing well because they weren't giving a ton of points, but they were giving a ton of yards. And right now after two weeks, Colorado may be kind of suffering in some parts of the past game last week, giving up 22 yards rushing this week. but they're finding ways, whether it's the opposing team inflicting on themselves or last week making great plays, they're winning the turnover battle. Yeah.

Which USC did last year, which got them to the point where they were one game away. The only problem is for USC, why it's a bit different is USC won it to the tune of being a major statistical outlier. Like, like it wasn't sustainable. And it did cool off at the end of the year. And we'll see if it carries over to this year. They're probably plus seven. They're probably plus seven. And again, Jeff Sims maybe makes today a bit of an outlier.

How many turnovers did you end up with today for Sims? Three. Three. Was it three more? I think maybe they dove back on one of those fumbles, but two or three more. Randy Harris, T. Bob, rocking the chest bush. Yeah, dude. And my favorite original trilogy Star Wars shirt, you already know the deal as Asos

hitting right now. Ryan Amina's Nebraska's offense suck? Yes, of course. But the dig on Colorado last week was that they wouldn't be able to stop anyone. Shooter reminds me of Russell Wilson. Yeah, that is, it's funny because. well, we definitely learn more about a shooter, right? Because the other day was that TCU's defense maybe sucked.

Okay, well, Nebraska's defense maybe is great, but they're definitely better. And Shdur and the skill positions completely broke them by the end. But if I'm a Buffalo's fan, like my guy, Desember, Dawn Simber Willis, who's a Buffalo fan from Birmingham, Alabama, I'm probably feeling most good today because of what the defense showed me and some of the life and toughness that they showed me

because there was a world out there. And even at times in this game, it felt like maybe they weren't going to be able to stop the run. But they always kind of found a way to bend, but not break. Let's see what else. Buffalo, baby. Ole Miss Tulane 7-7. A&M with a block punt.

Good game. Colorado just don't have the dudes on defense this year's patch. I agree. But that's what's going to be scary about Colorado is when this all translates into recruiting success. And then you do give prime four and five star D lineman and front seven. You already know he's going to get great DBs because you've already seen it, right? But what happens when he starts getting dogs in the front seven?

Because they were going to go play. I mean, even in the big new kickoff before the game, they're talking about how like a bunch of the Hall of Fame NFL players are trying to get on the coaching staff and stuff. What about they're going to be in the big 12 next year without Texas and Oklahoma? I mean, that team's going to be contending to win that conference starting the next season. Yeah, they immediately walk in as likely the first. favorite. Yes. Well, they got to find a quarterback. I don't, I think. Oh, should have to

go on? I think Scherder's just a junior. Oh, he is right. He played two years of Jackson State. So you're going to have to find another quarterback. Yeah. Oh, shit. Well, maybe not immediately walking in the favorite. But maybe so, because get the top quarterback out of the portal. Because again, I think this will translate to massively he did great in the transfer portal. Obviously,

Dion did. And again, like we said last week, I think Dion and this staff deserve bonus points for scouting players that others had given up on. Because remember when Tom Luganbill texted you and was upset because we made fun of the worst roster in the world conference, our comment, he was like, but where are they getting these guys, right? And he was naming all these small schools that nobody cares about. Well, guess what? Those players are working. Like, they may have been like the recruiting

machine made out of seeing their value, but this Colorado team did. And so that's going to translate to high school recruiting. And then Deontas becomes like pretty much unstoppable. How about the Utah game, man? Utah Baylor. Yes. Okay, yeah, let's get to some other games. And if any other good comments pop up that I think are worth talking about, we'll get into that.

Utah Baylor was crazy. Baylor looking like they had the win basically the entire time. Utah can in your play. Four yards in the fourth quarter for Baylor. Until the end, to the last possession when they get the big play and was ended up to, you know, had one chance to get in the end zone to tie it up. But I tell you what, Utah, finding a way to win. back-to-back games against a Baylor team that was embarrassed last week against Texas

Tech. I mean, just, or Texas State, sorry. Yeah, Texas State. Texas State. Shout to TJ Finley. So you knew them at home. We're going to be a little bit frisky. And Utah, man, found a way defensively to stay in it. Keep it alive.

Offensive made enough plays there in the second half to win it. You just got to stay alive until Cam Rising. That's it. Just just stay in the hunt until Cam Rising can play, which, I mean, I still don't know. At the end of the day, it's still only been eight months. since injury. You know, I'm not worried about next week. You got Weber State next week.

Two more weeks maybe, and then you got to play Utah? Are UCLA? I mean, you're going to play UCLA? Like, that's, I think for them, that's what they circled. I think they said, okay, we can win. We have the chance because of our defense to win the first three games. Can we give Cam essentially the first month off? And then starting UCLA, we got to make sure he's as healthy as possible.

If you were, if you were Camarizing, would you want to come back one game before, though? No. You'd want to go back at UCLA. Yes. Okay. He's good enough. He's played enough football. That's true. He's playing a football. He'll be fine. Yeah, I mean, look, I think the biggest takeaway for me are twofold. First off, Dave Miranda trending in the massively wrong direction. I mean, he won the Big 12 the first year he was at Baylor. Right? And that insane championship game that came down to like a six inch stop on the goal on against Oklahoma State. And now, um, below, I mean, just getting beat down by Texas

state and then having a top 15 win in your grasp and just finding ways. Like that's what bad teams do. They find ways to lose game. And Kyle winning him in the inverse, deserves time of credit for what he's built because they find ways to win games. That's good programs, you real quick. Greg Hendricks says here, Aaron, thoughts on Carson Beck. Georgia, is Georgia good?

I don't know, man. I don't know, dude. People are talking, dude. The chirping. I don't know, bro. your text is the beginning of the game. I was not happy. Your text of the beginning of game did not dictate that maybe you were too pleased with your with your dogs.

I was not too pleased in that first quarter. I don't think anyone was pleased after that watching the first quarter of Georgia. So this is really interesting. So I talked with Carson about a month ago. And he was talking about during the off season, he watched a lot of Aaron Rogers and how Aaron Rogers did such a great job of essentially eliminating the process down the field. So if there was a certain coverage that dictated that a guy, wasn't going to be open. Man,

let me just find my checkdown right now. Boom, get the ball in my hand. And he's like, that's what I want to do this year. I want to be able to get through my progress, find the checkdown. I think he's gone to the extreme a little bit right now.

Like he's kind of eliminating the first, second, third read and just saying, boom, let me find my back out of the back field. Boom, let me find my receiver tight in the flat. And sometimes, yeah,

you can get through it a little bit faster, but also these first couple games when you do have the better athletes, you allow those guys like a, tick extra second. Like when you have the best offense line in the country, when you got speed on the outside, it may be covered right when you look up, but you buy them an extra second in the pocket. Those guys are open down the field.

So like I just want him to continue watching the film and seeing give my guys that half a second longer trust that they're going to get open, see the space in the defense and let it rip and not just say, okay, boom, let me find my check down. Okay, boom, let me find my check down. That's my only big critique for Carson right now.

And you hear that dog fans, copium. The copium. Everybody's huffing copium because you all know when you hit a team with a pulse, you're in trouble. Now, granted, this schedule lines up where, like, you can continue to try to improve, but you ain't going to be tested. No. You're not going to know what it feels like when you get punched in the mouth. South Carolina next week.

The same South Carolina, they gave up 18 sacks to UNC, and that's a credit to UNC. But Georgia's D-Line should fucking wreck Spence or Sincerellor. They should. They should break him into a thousand. and tiny pieces. This is a true test. It's going to be a better test for the offense. Can you can because that's like I mean the defense was never a question.

No. No. We know. We know this is going to be one of the best defense in the country. No question about that. It's how good can this offense be. So I'm more concerned of yeah, are they going to, are they going to sack Spencer? Are they going to make his life help most likely?

But is this offense going to produce at home against a better quality defense because they have based on the way they've played for the first two weeks, not saying they're going to be in trouble next week, but it ain't going to look, it ain't going to look efficient. One of my favorite things to do this first two weeks for Georgia have been to just rip a search. No,

no, no, just to search Mike Bobo in the Twitter machine. And Georgia fans seem to hate Mike Bobo with the passion of a thousand burning sons. I'm sure you're going to have a bit more of a measured approach, but how do you feel that your guy Bobo's done through two weeks? Average.

I think he's still, He's still warming up a little bit. I'm going to defend him. It's only week two, new pieces, new quarterback. And I think Carson has gone through a couple of those reads a little bit too fast and miss some opportunities down the field. They've won 45 to 3. And what they win last week?

48 to 7. They're averaging 46 points a game. No, no, no. I'm just saying. Don't, don't, don't. I'm just saying. Don't. Don't just say.

Do that. You know that is disingenuous. 46 points per game. Oh, my God. getting your feet wet back call and plays, new quarterback, everything else. You're not even made there's a special team such. I missed. I don't care.

There's a pick six last week. Okay, exactly. So let's bump it down to high 30s. Your best receiver's been out for two weeks. All I'm saying is don't give me with the score. That's a fine point. That's a legitimate point. The score is not.

The score doesn't matter. Are you told you all year long? We know they're going to put up stats. It's not if they put up stats. It's how do they look while doing so. And they have not inspired competent to do it. Do you think the team believes in Carson back? I do think the team believes.

is the carciman. Okay. We don't see. We're going to see. One, two, says Nebraska lost this game more than Colorado one. No, I couldn't disagree more. I couldn't disagree more. I mean, look, does Nebraska.

Colorado is a better team. By far, by far. Which again, the mad experiment of Coach Prime through all the hate, through all the doubt, a plus passing grade, fly, just, I mean, we were talking about the scene. It bottles the mind how good and complete this team feels and how well they X you consider. They would just haphazardly thrown together. in the last six months. It's a coaching masterclass,

like we said last week. If you would have pulled all the experts in college football three weeks ago, what will Colorado be through the first two weeks of the season? What would you say 80%? 85, maybe 90% would say 0 and 2? It definitely would have been 2 and 0. 80% would have been 80% would have been 1 in 1 and 2. Because a lot of people didn't believe in Nebraska either, right?

But it's probably most. They were 7.5 point dogs two weeks ago in this game. It would be most 0 and 2. Most 0 with some 1 and 1 and maybe like 2% of people saying 2 and no, just like the hardcore people who don't give a fucking just love Colorado. Yes. Or just love coach fry.

No, they've, I mean, that's why we keep talking about them. That's why everybody keeps talking about it because what, like I've done sports talk now since I got out of it. Because I've been doing this daily for 10 years in October. And what determines how we talk about a team is never just the results. It's where.

do they land in relation to the expectation? And so them going two and oh is fine. But like if Alabama beats those two teams, whatever, we're not even talking about. You know, we mentioned and move on. But it's that they, they shouldn't work. No. And not only did it work, but it's worked better than any of us ever could have fathom. So when you have that large of a disparity between expectation and result, that's why

we're waxing so poetic because it boggles the mind. And it's just, it's impressive from any angle that you look at it. Do you have to go call the game? I actually call the game. Okay, you got to go call the game. All right. Well, hey, look, massive, massive, thank you. I'll be on live tonight, though, post-Texas, Alabama.

So make sure you tune back in. We'll send out some reminders as well. Yeah. But we'll be breaking down probably the biggest non-conference game of the season. Oh, look, our guy, John Middlecoffs in here, our volume brethren, put Shudor on LSU or Bama and they are national champs, bro. Yes. I mean, legitimately, yes.

And I like Jaden, Daniels. I'm not, you know, I think Jaden has areas they can prove. I think he put him into better positions, but Chatur is. I mean, Colin said it early this week. He talked to NFL executives. He's a legit first round prospect. Yeah. If you had him on Bama this year, that'd be silly or LSU shit.

But hell yeah, look, we have to go. But a massive thank you to everybody hanging out with us. Shout out to I'm very excited to be partner in game time, partner with Draft Kings. By the way, the bets are looking great today. shout out Utah finding a way to push at least. Shout out Jalen Daniels in Kansas. We got to give them some credit real quick. Big win for the boys.

We're getting Mexican last night watching Jalen Daniels carve up that Brett Bealema, Big Ten defense. Excellent job. Okay. Last thing I'll say here. Lance Leipold, Chris Clemen, Kaelin DeBore. Yep. Proving to me, fuck a hot shot coordinator.

I want my head coach, someone who's one champion. on lower levels. They are all guys who have resumes littered with, you know, NAA championships. X, X, B, like, you know, like letters I've never seen combined, but championships. And it's all translated to the next level. It's really got to make you rethink how you hire or you just go get an in a Hall of Famer with otherworldly charisma.

And he just like makes you fucking awesome immediately. Oh, Andy has a first round quarterback's son. Oh, Andy has a son that plays safety and starts to get double digit tackles. And he recruits the best two way player that. we've seen ever really here recently. Crazy, crazy times. College football is awesome. We love it. We love you. YouTube.com slash at volume snaps. We're on every day. If you just Google Snap's podcast, you find us on Apple, Spotify, rate review, help us grow the show. Thank you,

Darren Franklin, like and subscribe. Everybody who did. We'll see you around for some more snaps. What is up, everyone? Aaron Murray here live from Death Valley in Louisiana. And we got a special late night show tonight. And you know why we are here? Because Texas taken down Alabama. Unfortunately, Teabobb is not here for me to gloat for the next hour about the longhorns in his face. We'll have to wait until Monday for that. But I do have some apologies to be made.

Aladdin 12 in the chat goes. Aaron, I expect an apology to the Miami fans. Moreover, do you think they bench Bill Row? Yes, apology to the Miami fans. You guys were dominant. and we will get onto that game as well on tonight's show. Obviously, we're going to start Texas, Alabama, one of the best games we've seen so far this season,

probably going to be one of the best games of the year in a pivotal game when it comes to the state of Texas, Texas football and Alabama football, and what playoff shapes will essentially come out of this entire thing. We'll talk a little A&M as well, a little Georgia on the back end, Oregon, skate by two, and a crazy game against Texas Tech on the road. It was a wild Saturday.

For those that were complaining about a slow start to the college football season, season. We have anything but a slow start. It has been awesome to see. So let's dive right into it. It's week one or week two, Texas on the road against Alabama. Said it all off season. And, and I know there's been a big talk about, hey, man, this is, this is, this is, this is Alabama's year and they're going to be more physical. And, you know, I looked at the roster and I'm just like, this is their rebuilding year. And I remember Nick Saban said this two years ago after they lost to Georgia in the national championship game. And he came back and said, no, you know, this was our rebuilding year. And watch out for us next year. Well, the next year was what last year was with all those talented players with the number one and number three picking the NFL draft. Yet it still wasn't the old Alabama that was dominant.

You know, they won close games. They won a close game versus Texas. And it just doesn't seem like that type of bam. Well, they lose all those draft picks. They're young. They got some transfer guys. The question marks at the quarterback position. To me, this was the rebuilding year.

And there's nothing wrong with it. There's nothing wrong with Alabama having that rebuilding season. So I wasn't too sure about them, kind of in general. LSU is still kind of my team to win the SEC Westwood's all said and done. Texas came in with the most talented roster they've had over the past decade. And you can't compare this Texas year to two years ago or last year ago or five years ago or seven years ago. Every team is different. And you saw it all morning today.

You talk to draft experts. 10, 11 guys on this Texas roster will be drafted and next year's NFL draft. Texas hasn't had that. They haven't had a quarterback like Quinn years. They even had the depth at the receiving position like they do right now. And they haven't had the dominant play from both an offensive line and a defensive line. They haven't had that. This team is built like an SEC team.

Year three was Sark. He knew from being in Alabama what it takes to beat the best, what it takes to compete in the SEC, and he went and built his team to be able to do that on the road in Tuscaloosa. A place over the past 53 games in Tuscaloosa, Alabama is 52 and 1. They only lost to LSU back in 2019. That's what Texas did tonight. And you know why? Because they had the better quarterback, because they had the better receivers,

and because their defensive line dominated up front. So those are the questions. question marks we had with Alabama heading into the season. Could they win with Jalen Milrow? Could they win with those receivers? They didn't have the receivers last year. And I think they're a little bit better than they were last year. There's no doubt about that.

They were young at that position last year. They showed some improvement over the first two games of the season. But still, they're not as, that's not the Alabama receiving court. We saw four, five, six years ago that they were pumping out first rounders left and right. and fans were, and people in the media were saying, oh, Jalen solved his turnover problems because he played well against Middle Tennessee State last week. So let's just ignore everything that happened a year ago.

Let's ignore some of the issues that even showed up in spring ball two months ago, three months ago. Like we saw it in spring practice. The turnover issues that still popped up. Those just don't solve themselves in three months. They don't just magically disappear. you are who you are. And he's going to get better with timing and reps and more opportunities in games.

And we're going to see if Alabama does make a quarterback change at some point. But you are a quarterback that is a hell of an athlete. There's no denying that. Jalen Milro is a hell of an athlete. And some of the plays he made in this game tonight were still magnificent. The running, the bad snaps that have plagued Alabama for the first two games of the season. I mean, like the center exchange to the quarterback in the gun has to be better. Too many times is Jalen having to duck.

down the catch a ball or fumble a snap and then pick it up and have to locate receivers down the field. He had some moments where you kind of look at it and say, man, that's awesome. But we kind of talked about earlier today on the show, if you miss it, make sure you go back and check it with Nebraska and Colorado. When you're playing a game against another good team, what does it come down to? It comes down to turnovers and penalties. And if you're an Alabama team that is built to win close games, because they're not built to be in shootouts.

They're not. You know, that's not what they want to do. Nixon wants to go to old school football. Well, old school football is going to be low-scoring games. It's going to be boring football games. When those type of games, you have to take care of the football, which is why when I looked at their quarterback position this offseason, I'm like, if I know my identity is going to be a 20, 25 point per game, 30-point per game team,

I need to make sure I trust the quarterback to not put the ball in the other team's hands, to not throw interceptions, to not be able to flip the field and give momentum to the opponent. and right now Miller is not that guy. Your offense is not built like that. So I don't know, man. I think Nick's going to have to go back a little bit. Look at the quarterback situation and make a decision what he wants to do going forward from that quarterback spot. It's going to be an ongoing battle.

I mean, it's SEC play going forward. And you lost in a big way and you kind of quit a little bit there in the second half, at home, a place you do not lose to. Offensive line, not great tonight. either for Alabama. I mean, for 350 pounds for being the biggest offensive line in the world, bigger than every college football team, bigger than every NFL team. They didn't play like it. At home, they didn't play like it. Texas took it to them over and over and over and over again. So Alabama, that new identity, that new coordinator on both sides of the football, and that goes back to the whole rebuilding thing. You bring in all these new,

pieces on both sides of the football. And then you bring in two new coordinator as well. And I know your defensive coordinator has been there before and there's a familiarity with him and Nick Saban. I get that. But it's still two new coordinators. That goes into the whole rebuilding mindset for this team. So can Alabama bounce back and have a great season? I wouldn't say great. I think they can have a good season. I think they'll be competitive in most of the games they play. But this is not a championship team this year. year. This is a 9 and 3, 10 and 2 football team that will go to a good bowl game that will continue to develop young talent. Don't forget they had the number one recruiting class in America last year.

So it's a young talented football team that's playing a lot of young football players that's going to get better throughout the season. And then to me, 2024, if they figure out this quarterback position is, I think their year we're like, okay, I think Alabama is going to be that team to win a championship. So that's my thoughts in Alabama. Texas, they're back. Texas is back. Texas is back. This is the game you needed, Texas fans, to go on the road and beat the big, bad Alabama,

a team that you should have, coulda, whatever you want to say, you should have beat them a year ago. You didn't, unfortunate, your quarterback was lost. But you went into there against all odds, and you made it happen this year. So, man, if I'm Steve Sarkeesian, I'm going to sleep so good tonight. I'm going to have a couple drinks.

I'm going to relax. I want to celebrate. and for all the haters out there that said, you couldn't win a big game. You just won probably the most difficult place to win in America against the best coach in the history of college football. You won the football game. So Steve Sarkisian ain't no one ever going to say again

that Steve Sarkisian can't win a big football game. That discussion, not gone, bye-bye. You did it. Congratulations. Go celebrate. Go enjoy yourself. Quinn yours, we've seen the stats. Quarterbacks that beat Alabama, excuse me.

Quarterbacks that beat Alabama end up in New York. End up in New York. You pick pretty high in the NFL draft more times than not. Quinn yours and Texas, the best team in the Big 12, the most talented team in the Big 12. Then you beat an SEC team. Can they fall off the face of the earth? Maybe. And that's what we've kind of seen from Texas in the past, where you played to

Alabama close last year, then you kind of fell apart. Part of it was due to Quinn yours being banged up, but you got to play better when you're the better football team. You did that tonight. You were the better team and you showed it. But can you do that the rest of the season? Can you have the mentality of being a killer, of putting your foot on an opponent's throat,

week in and week out? Because right now, Texas, like FSU, we talked about the ACC, FSU should run through the ACC. Miami look good today. We'll get to Miami. FSU is still the best team of that conference. Texas, by far, is the best team that conference.

By far, it's a mentality thing now for the Longhorns. Do you believe you are a playoff caliber football team that you have one of the best quarterbacks in America when you're yours? You have one of the best receiving course in America. You have one of the best defenses in America, and you have an offensive line that's experienced. Man, I had them in the playoffs. Obviously, this was going to be a big game to make that decision of were they truly a team that could compete to get to be one of the final four teams.

But Quinn Ewers, 2438, three touchdowns, 350 yards passing on the road against Alabama secondary. And you look at the receivers, A.D. Mitchell, two touchdowns. Xavier Worley making plays. Jordan Winnington, Sanders making plays. And there was a lot of drops, too. I mean, Texas could have run away with this in the first half. They could have ran away with it. So hook them, hook them, hook them.

Your boy puts some money on that money line too, so I'm feeling pretty good tonight. Might have to go to the casino here in Louisiana when Teabobb gets off his show and maybe treat him to a little, little something on the tables. All right, so that's that game. Texas takes care of Alabama, 34, 24, 24, big win for the crimson, for the longhorns there against the crimson tide. Another big game for the state of Texas. A&M goes on the road versus Miami. And I'm sorry if my voice is going to go away a little bit. I had a three hours and 45 minute game here in Baton Rouge. I called for LSU.

I didn't believe in Tyler Van Dyke. I'm going to be honest. What I saw last year, some of the stuff I saw week one, I was like, I just, I don't see it in him. I like A&M. I like Connor Wigman. I still like Connor Wigman. I thought the defense is going to be improved for A&M this year.

All the youth they had on outside of the football. But Miami's offensive line was dominant, dominant, dominant. And then Tyler Van Dyke was just dicing it up left and right and left and right, putting balls in spots that should have been completions. I mean, there was one on the sideline at one point over the DB's arms into the receiver's hands for about a 30-yard game. I think it was on the two-minute drive right before halftime. I mean, one of the best game. This was a Tyler Van Dyke we saw two years ago.

And if that offensive line can take on that identity and dominate up front. And Tyler Van Dyke continue to play like that. Miami, I'm not going to say they're back because I still think that there are going to be some questions about how good A&M is. I like their offense. I once I thought, I thought Wegman did some good stuff. The one interception wasn't his fall over the middle. Receiver fell. I think their offense is going to be good.

defensively, I'm a little bit worried. You know, T. Bob hit it during the week. You know, at times last week, they looked a little bit rough on defense. And then you just got bullied over and over and over again by the hurricane. So is this a big win for Mario Cristobal? Hell yeah. Just like Steve Sarkeesian kind of gets a flex his muscles and say, yeah, I want a big game. Obviously, being Alabama and Tuscaloosa is like the peak of winning football games in college football.

For Miami beating A&M, a ranked team, it's a big deal. It's a big deal. sends a message to the country that maybe we're not back, but we're kind of flirting with it a little bit. And yet, maybe there is a chance that we're back this year. Tyler Van Dyke plays like that, then, yeah, you could start believing it if you're a hurricane fan that Miami has an opportunity to make some big moves this year in the ACC.

I mean, you look at their schedule. They got Bethune, Temple, Georgia Tech. North Carolina looked, you know, average tonight. Clemson is, you know, you know how you feel about Clemson. and Virginia, NC State, and then Florida State, Louisville, Boston College. It ain't a tough schedule for Miami. It ain't a tough schedule. It lines up nicely for you, honestly.

So, hurricanes, man, big, big win, A&M, SEC West in general tonight. I mean, SEC in general, man, it was just a, it has been a rough start to the season for the SEC. Last week, O in three against top 25 teams. and then tonight, two of your better teams in the SEC West lost. So your top three teams in the SEC West, you know, kind of Alabama, LSU, A&M, all lost out of conference games to start the season, first two weeks.

Ole Miss almost lost at Tulane today, you know, with Tulane and their backup quarterback. So Mississippi State just went to double overtime with Arizona. I mean, the SEC West, which was supposed to be the most dominant side of division of anyone in the country. I mean, Arkansas was okay. Ole Miss once again was, you know, took them to the fourth quarter to figure out versus Tulane, Mississippi State overtime, Alabama loss, LSU lost last week, A&M lost today. Like, I don't know about that side of the SEC all of a sudden. And you look at the east, Kentucky's looked average to start the year. Missouri skated by middle Tennessee.

Tennessee was kind of average today. Vanderbilt lost to Wake Forest. Florida is garbage. South Carolina is not very good. And Georgia's kind of looked vulnerable to start the season off. So, man, if you're not an SEC fan, you're kind of sitting back tonight saying, maybe this is the SEC's year, maybe this year where we could make bad Alabama go down, but kind of the SEC not be as dominant.

And I tweet this out earlier, Texas, looks good. Southern Cal last year was a really good football team and looked to be a good football team. Miami, Florida State, Texas, there's big brands that have been somewhat non-existent because of the dominance of the SEC for the past 10 years or so are now back, are back. Like the health of college football is in a really good spot. And this is going from a guy that that mostly covers and talks about SEC football. But it is good when you have the Pact 12 kicking butt in Colorado making news. And once again, Caleb Williams and USC winning Heismans and do what they do in Texas winning big games and Florida State winning big games and Miami. Like,

that is good for college football. Right now, I don't know who's going to win a championship. I really don't. I think Michigan. it looks really good, but they haven't played anyone. Georgia hasn't played anyone and they've looked vulnerable. It is so open. Like if there was a year to have a 12 team playoff, this would be the year to make that happen. Unfortunately, we have to wait one more year if that happens. But, man, it's going to be a wild, wild season. I'm excited to continue to cover it.
