00:00I specifically asked him yesterday, what's it like having Ben as a teacher?
00:06And, you know, without, you know, phrasing him exactly,
00:11he basically said this is a long-term solution to us being great.
00:15And so there's a partnership there that's really special.
00:19What I saw yesterday at that scrimmage was not Caleb Williams speaking to his center
00:27or his offensive lineman all the time, because I had my eyes on him the entire time
00:31I watched the two-hour scrimmage.
00:33He is constantly, continuously seeking out his teammates.
00:39He is in complete unison with them.
00:43Brian Baldinger was there with me.
00:46I mean, he's on his training camp tour, and I've been doing quite a bit of TV with him,
00:50former offensive lineman, one of the great, you know, TV personalities that we have.
00:56And everybody knows Baldinger's breakdowns.
00:59I mean, let's be real.
01:01You know, he and I were texting because we were at different vantage points during the scrimmage.
01:07Caleb was constantly talking to all of his skill players.
01:11I mean, I can't tell you how many times I saw him with Kalief Raymond,
01:15who has been exceptional in training camp, guys, like exceptional.
01:20Roma Dunze.
01:21Luther's not out there right now, but like Jaday Walker.
01:24He is constantly asking them what they want, what do you like, I need you to be here,
01:31I need you to be there.
01:32His leadership has gone to another level.
01:34If I had an hour with him just to sit down and talk about where his leadership has evolved,
01:39I would be very happy.
01:41But the other thing I detected, guys, is Caleb is having a blast.
01:48He's having a blast.
01:49His press conference last night at 6 o'clock at Hallis Hall was awesome.
01:56This guy is so far beyond where we saw him last year.
02:01He is having fun playing the game.
02:04And, you know, when we talked about he was drowning last year and he said it like,
02:09I feel like I'm drowning, he told us last night, my head is above water right now.
02:14I just, the potential and the excitement is real surrounding this offense.
02:22And, you know, Ben, like, he wants to score 40 points on you.
02:26Like, he wants 40, a game.
02:29And they're going to stop at nothing to get there.
