00:00Dave, you know, in this, in the first matchup, it felt like at least to be watching it back,
00:20you know, Kirby smart has done such a great job over the years just with like, you know,
00:25deep front shifts and doing different things to kind of challenge what what teams are looking
00:30at pre snap. And it looked like Texas wasn't prepared for that at all. And that it really
00:34challenged a lot of their their blocking and an offensive line that had been, you know,
00:38really heavily praised leading up to that game. Do you think that they've got a better
00:42handle on that? And that they should be better prepared going into this game? Or is that
00:46something where it's like, man, there was really no excuse not to be prepared for the
00:49kind of things Kirby smart likes to do defensively?
00:52No, I think it's it's fair to say that, you know, Georgia caught him a little off guard,
00:56took him into some deep water that maybe they had, they hadn't been tested early on in the
01:01season. Certainly, this is a Texas team that's, there's more battle scars on them now. And
01:06they there's lessons learned from the Georgia game, there's lessons learned from some of
01:10the other close contests they've had throughout the year. So I think they're, you're, the
01:15experiences you get, you know, obviously add up. And I think that this is a team in Texas,
01:21there's a lot of veteran guys along their offensive line, they'll take offense, when
01:24you start talking about players, taking offense to something, that's something certainly when
01:29they throw the tape on from the Georgia game and see them giving up seven sacks and 10
01:33tackles for loss, you can bet that that crowd, regardless of what the game plan is, is going
01:39to be cranked up and ready to play, just simply because the pride factor that kicks in with
01:44players, but certainly from an adjustment standpoint, I thought that this arc may have
01:49gotten away from the run game a little bit. They're really good with their short passing
01:53attack, they have the ability to stretch you and hurt you down the field. But Georgia is
01:57not going to let you hold a football that long. So they've got to be able to get the
02:00ball out. And I think certainly getting their run game cranked up, obviously, the way they
02:04did against Texas A&M will be a big deal in this game. But all the experiences you gather
02:10throughout the year make you better, you're supposed to be better at the end of the year.
02:14And these two teams, I think are peaking at the right time.
