00:00I mean, you look at the statistics as a whole, coach,

00:02they were abused across every aspect of this 60-minute ball game.

00:08I mean, Florida puts up 457 yards,

00:10and that offense at one particular time in the second half

00:13was humming against that Texas defense.

00:17Yeah, that's exactly right.

00:19They didn't have any answer for them,

00:21and Florida just kept making big play after big play.

00:24But again, when you have a championship-caliber team,

00:27you can't be just good on one side of the ball.

00:31There are games where they've got an offensive system that's just clicking.

00:34They've got pitchers that are throwing strikes,

00:36and you've just got to find a way to match them.

00:38And right now, Texas has just had no answers on offense against good people.

00:43They scored a lot against maybe Sam Houston,

00:45but when you're playing good people,

00:47they just haven't been able to put points on the board.

00:49And again, I know it's tough to put all that on Arch Manning.

00:53In a way, he's a quarterback.

00:55He's at Texas.

00:56You know that's what they're going to do.

00:58You either get all the credit or all the blame.

00:59That's part of it.

01:00But again, there's a lot of things offensively.

01:03They've got to get fixed at Texas.

01:05They remind me a little bit of LSU

01:07and what they were supposed to have on offense

01:09and a few other teams that offensively aren't doing what they need to do.

01:14Now, when you look at Billy Napier and you look at DJ Lagway

01:18and you saw what they were able to do against one of the better,

01:22let's say, secondaries in the conference,

01:24could that continue potentially on the road against A&M this weekend?

01:28And if they get another victory,

01:31could this team be potentially the team that we thought they would be

01:34at the start of the year?

01:35Or do you just think schedule and from what you've seen right now,

01:39last week was potentially an outlier?

01:42I don't think it necessarily is an outlier,

01:44but I'm looking at Texas A&M, Mississippi State, Georgia, Kentucky,

01:48Ole Miss, Tennessee, FSU.

01:49That's the rest of their schedule.

01:52Now, you've got to play as good as you did Saturday

01:54and maybe even better every game to keep from having two or three more losses.

01:59I think they played like the Florida I think we thought they would get.

02:04Whether they can come back and win enough games there,

02:06whether Billy Napier is just kind of making it difficult on the people

02:10that have already hoping that he would be gone,

02:13they found a way to be awful good.

02:15But it's going to be one week at a time because they have to play at the top

02:19of their game offensively and defensively to get through that schedule.

02:23Absolutely.

02:24I agree with that as well.

02:26I think when you look at Billy Napier,

02:27it definitely saved his job for potentially one week.

02:31I think the biggest thing is that when we look at just the defense as a whole,

02:36they potentially, Coach, could be one of the best in the country.

02:40I mean, that defense has been consistent now.

02:42In all their losses, the defense comes to play on every Saturday.

02:47Yeah, they haven't lost a game defensively.

02:49I mean, they haven't.

02:50They were lucky to be in the game that way throwing five interceptions against LSU.

02:54Defense pretty much stopped USF.

02:57Miami didn't score that much against them.

02:59It was a close three-point ball game going into the fourth quarter.

03:03And yet they settled.

03:04If they had not had their schedule, had some of the other SEC teams' schedule,

03:08we wouldn't be probably talking about them like this.

03:10But we are, and they've got to overcome it.

03:13We knew it before the season that this was going to be one of the toughest schedules in the country.

03:17Now we just got to take it one at a time and see how far they can go.

03:22Again, they will have to play their best football on both sides of the ball

03:25if they're going to get through that schedule with a good record.

03:28So, go ahead to see how far they can go.
