00:00 Look, you're going to ask me about the quarterbacks every day.
00:02 Every day I'm going to tell you the same thing.
00:04 Everybody's getting reps at the position.
00:06 Somebody's got to take the bull by the horn.
00:08 Somebody's got to separate themselves.
00:10 When that happens, we'll tell you.
00:12 Be glad to tell you.
00:13 When we're going to take the cake out of the oven,
00:15 we will tell you when it's the time.
00:17 But until then, there's really nothing to talk about.
00:20 There's nothing to say.
00:23 So there's not a whole lot of sense in asking about it,
00:26 because we want all the guys, when they're in there,
00:31 you play the position like it's yours, like it belongs to you.
00:35 You're out there competing.
00:36 You're not looking over your shoulder.
00:37 You're not worrying about what somebody else does.
00:39 You're playing like you're the man.
00:41 And that's what we want each guy to do.
00:44 I tell you what.
00:45 Well, there he is.
00:47 Go ahead.
00:48 Couple of things about Nick Saban right there.
00:51 First of all, he looks lean.
00:52 He looks like he's been working on some cardio.
00:55 Does everybody know him and Miss Terry were out in Italy?
00:59 The whole state of Alabama knew.
01:01 And I'll say this.
01:02 No all rights.
01:03 All right?
01:03 All right?
01:04 All right?
01:04 But getting back to the quarterback position,
01:07 this is the first time since Jake Coker and Blake Sims.
01:10 Remember both of those guys?
01:11 And you could go to AJ McCarron and even Greg McIlroy.
01:15 He won with that.
01:16 He might be dialed in in terms of the regular season.
01:19 I know it's a three-headed monster.
01:21 Ty Simpson and Buckner have no experience for Alabama.
01:25 I think he goes Jalen Milrow.
01:27 And I expect this offense to be more ground and bound
01:30 than it was wide open a few years ago.
01:34 Look, I just think that that's something to keep in mind here.
01:37 Like, Alabama's been consistent.
01:39 Now, they didn't make the playoff last year.
01:42 Carver.
01:43 They could lose a couple games, Joe.
01:45 They don't have big-time quarterback play anymore.
01:49 Here's what I know.
01:49 I know Buckner stinks.
01:51 So that's one guy out of the three I know isn't any good.
01:54 And I know Nick's not going to play him, because he's no good.
01:56 I know that Reese brought him over when he defected to Tuscaloosa
02:00 out of South Bend.
02:02 He brought Tyler Buckner with him.
02:03 And you're telling me the other guy--
02:05 the one guy's a running quarterback.
02:06 Maybe he'll go with that.
02:07 Nick has had guys who throw the football, Joe.
02:11 All these guys he's had the last few years.
02:14 He's going to go with a running-style quarterback?
02:17 I don't know that's going to get him where he wants to go.
02:19 I don't know that's going to get him where he wants to be.
02:20 Well, let's be honest.
02:21 Your boy Tommy Reese would know the game.
02:23 I mean, with Pine and Buckner last year,
02:25 did they light up the yard with Michael Mayer?
02:28 It was Audra Castamay and the rushing attack.
02:30 They averaged over 170 yards per game.
02:33 It was a ground-and-pound and then work-off-of-play action.
02:36 I think that's what they do with Jason McClellan
02:38 and those running backs.
02:40 Let's look at everything in terms of big picture.
02:43 Last year, they lost two road games to LSU and Tennessee
02:48 by a total of four points.
02:49 That's two points per game.
02:51 They have no difficult real road games this year.
02:53 They get Ole Miss at home.
02:55 They get LSU at home.
02:57 They get Tennessee this year at home.
02:59 Texas is at home.
03:01 They've lost one home game, Carver.
03:03 They're 46-1 straight up at home since 2016.
03:08 We have to look at it big picture.
03:09 I'm laying the seven against Texas,
03:12 seven and seven and a half.
03:13 I'll go up to nine and a half.
03:14 They're going to blow their doors out.
03:16 I mean, are they going anywhere that matters, Joe?
03:20 I mean, honestly, they go to see Jimbo, I guess,
03:23 at College Station.
03:24 - That's it, that's it.
03:25 - They go to Auburn.
03:26 They have the big rivalry with Auburn.
03:27 - But, I mean, Auburn's a rivalry
03:28 that they play every year.
03:29 I mean, come on, half the fans are there for Alabama as well.
03:33 They might even have 80-20 in terms of that.
03:36 I mean, come on.
03:37 - What are they doing?
03:38 Why are they going to, they're going to USF?
03:41 What is that about?
03:42 They're playing a road game at USF on September 16th?
03:47 How did they swing that?
03:47 How did USF swing that?
03:49 How did they do that?
03:50 - They had to book that game
03:52 when Charlie Strong was still at USF.
03:55 I mean, come on.
03:56 - Probably, I would guess.
03:58 - I'm serious.
03:58 - That's got Nick dropping a little 62-10
04:03 on the Bulls down there in Tampa.
04:05 Big Alabama crowd.
04:06 - White jerseys are going to look fantastic in Tampa.
04:09 I might have to go down for that game.
