00:00There it is, the new number one team in the country.
00:03There it is.
00:04That's tough for an Aggie to have to do.
00:06He pressed that button.
00:06I didn't.
00:07I didn't want to.
00:08There it is.
00:09Sorry.
00:11And speaking of that, another Longhorn joining us,
00:14Brian Jones, college football.
00:16You see him on CBS every Saturday as he's a studio host there
00:23for CBS Sports and CBS Sports Network.
00:27And you also catch him also on Inside College Football as well
00:31on CBS Sports Network.
00:34Brian, man, we always like joining you,
00:37and I'm sure you're feeling pretty good after your Longhorns took care of Ohio State
00:41in a game that, I'll be honest with you, I went in and gave up on
00:45in that fourth quarter, and then all hell broke loose,
00:49and Texas ended up on top.
00:54You guys know how to host a guest.
00:59Let me just say that.
01:00That was mighty fine of you.
01:03And, yes, I am still levitating since last Saturday night.
01:07But what is upsetting me is all these damn prognosticators such as ourselves
01:15saying that Ohio State either collapsed or took their foot off the throttle.
01:21That couldn't be more bull dookie than, I mean, really?
01:25They got hit in the mouth.
01:26They got punched in the grill.
01:28Their grill was impaled, and they couldn't withstand it.
01:32Texas took that game for them.
01:34You don't go on drives of 15, 13, 12 plays consecutively,
01:40scored touchdowns without thoroughly whipping somebody's ass.
01:44They didn't take their foot off the gas.
01:46There were still plays to be made.
01:48They didn't make them.
01:49I went back and watched the game film, as I do every week,
01:52and saying overshot a couple wide open wide receivers,
01:55just like Manning, overshot wide receivers early.
01:58So it was a tale of, actually, it was three quarters Ohio State
02:02and one quarter of Texas because those first three quarters were as ugly
02:06as a baboon's ass.
02:09And then Texas did their thing.
02:12So quit making excuses for these dang Buckeyes.
02:15They got punched in the mouth.
02:19And take it like a man, Buckeyes, and go on about your business.
02:22Hook them.
02:22How y'all doing?
02:23Hey, bro.
02:24Hey, talk to me about that defense, man.
02:26I think the one thing that stood out in that second half was Muschamp's defense.
02:31I know there was a question mark from last year,
02:33and then him joining the staff, and it was, you know,
02:35what kind of difference could he make in the program with Sark's offense?
02:39And so what about Muschamp after, I know it's a small sample size,
02:43a couple weeks, but what about that defense, man?
02:45How do you feel about it?
02:47They pooped the bed.
02:48They looked like crap early,
02:49but they made plays when they needed to make plays.
02:52And here's the scary thing.
02:53They're going to get better.
02:54You just said it.
02:56First of all, you got a bunch of – you have these transfers that come in.
03:00They need to congeal,
03:01and then you're learning a new system for those guys who have been there.
03:05So just imagine how much better they're going to be once we get, you know,
03:09halfway through this thing.
03:10So they turned it around, got some stops, got a fourth down stop, got off the field.
03:16But then, as I stated, you go back and watch that game tape, man.
03:20There were some missed opportunities for Ohio State down the stretch.
03:24We're saying just didn't execute.
03:27So our alignment didn't execute.
03:30So, you know, they didn't take their foot off the throttle.
03:33They were still trying to make plays downfield.
03:35But that defense did what they needed to do when they needed to do it.
03:39Still, when they look at that tape, they're going to say,
03:42whoo, we got a lot of work to do, boys.
03:44But thank God we're doing it with a big old W.
03:47Brian Jones, CBS Sports, joins us.
03:50Brian, listen, you know, my old quarterback here, Clint Sterner,
03:54I've asked him about this with Arch.
03:57And as you said, you went back and watched the game tape.
04:02Everything, especially in games against better opponents,
04:06I don't know if it's him, I don't know if it's Sark.
04:08Everything just seems so difficult for them.
04:12And so, like, so, there's just, like, sometimes you see great players.
04:17And, you know, Cam was really good.
04:20And some of these other guys.
04:21And, you know, some of these games, it seemed easy.
04:23It just seems like they are pulling teeth all the time with Arch.
04:27What are you seeing with their offense with him,
04:30especially when they play better opponents?
04:34Well, early on, it wasn't his fault.
04:36Now, the Cam Coleman shot, could that have been a better pass?
04:40Yeah.
04:41But, dude, you didn't pay to make that catch, make the damn catch.
04:46They're not going to be right in your chest, Clint will tell you.
04:49I can't put it, you know, right where it's supposed to be all the damn time.
04:52That's why you guys get big bucks, because you can contort your body.
04:56And sometimes, you know, that guy covering you, you know, he's been paid too,
04:59so he might be blanking.
05:00He's blanketing you, so go make a play for me.
05:03And that didn't happen on that one.
05:08You get out there, man, and sometimes you try too hard.
05:10I've done it.
05:12I'm still haunted by games where I just tripped over my own feet
05:15because I try too hard.
05:16And I think Arch got out of sorts, but you fight through it.
05:21Just like me on the golf course.
05:22I'm terrible, but I fight through it.
05:24One or two great shots keep me going back.
05:27And the same with him.
05:29He fought through it.
05:30And then when he needed to step up and become legendary, he did exactly that.
05:38He became legendary.
05:40Those last three drives I mentioned a moment ago.
05:43That's incredible.
05:44And you watch it, and they got worn down, and that's what you're supposed to do.
05:49And they just repeatedly punched Ohio State in the mouth.
05:54And those backs, man, you're talking about shifting.
05:56Whew.
05:57Newcats can get out of the way, and they run hard, Smothers and Brown.
06:00They might not be the biggest.
06:02But they can run hard, and they're not afraid to run between the tackles, man.
06:07So this is going to be a hell of a football team.
06:09They showed me something the other night.
06:10You know, early on, I'm like you.
06:12I'm thinking, well, maybe Ohio State's just that more talented than Texas.
06:17And I'm sure it was a simple speech in the locker room.
06:21Hey, quit effing beating yourself, because that's what they were doing.
06:25And they came back out, weren't perfect.
06:27Well, they were perfect enough.
06:29Who else in that top ten or that top five, who else other than Texas,
06:34do you believe are the best football teams in America right now?
06:38Well, I've been on record saying I'm not going to put us ahead of Georgia
06:43until we can defeat Georgia.
06:44Now, knocking off the number one team makes you the number one team,
06:47considering Georgia is still in preseason mode thus far, like a lot of teams.
06:53Indiana's in that number as well.
06:57But that's the bugaboo.
06:58That one right there.
06:59It had been Ohio State.
07:00Okay.
07:01Scratch that itch.
07:02Now, hopefully they beat Georgia in the SEC championship game.
07:06So put Georgia in there.
07:09You know, Ole Miss LSU, this is going to be one hell of an affair this coming weekend.
07:13I mean, all the back story off the field, but, you know, on the field.
07:17You've got a ton of talent.
07:19And as Coach Kelly coined him a couple weeks ago on our Inside College Football show,
07:23Trinidad, not Trinidad, Trinidad Chandler, because that's what he does.
07:28These defensive coordinators have them throwing up their hands, and damn,
07:32because this cat can play.
07:33You know, Wally Cook, Austin Simmons, who's now playing at Missouri, starting at Missouri,
07:38if you can't, especially coming from Ferris State.
07:41So that's going to be one hell of a game.
07:42And all this being caught.
07:44I love Lame.
07:45I played for his daddy, Monty Kiffin.
07:46You're talking about the apple not falling too far from the tree,
07:50but neither do the nuts, because Monty was totally different than this cat.
07:54I mean, but he thrives in the drama.
07:56He loves it.
07:57He feeds off of it.
07:58He encourages it.
07:59He initiates it.
08:00So it's of his own volition, and him going back, oh, my goodness, and the hatred and vitriol.
08:07I just wish these folks would chill out when a coach or a player leaves your team.
08:13Sometimes it's the right time to go, and it may be an offer that's too good to refuse.
08:19There's no need, especially if they've elevated your program, for you to go all cuckoo and bananas.
08:26I mean, it's just dumb that your whole existence is wrapped into someone else,
08:33or wrapped up into someone else's accomplishments.
08:35And I just don't understand that mindset.
08:38But, you know, all this extra security bull dookie, I think it's going to be a hell of a game.
08:43This Deuce Alexander cat who can fly might be the fastest guy on the field.
08:47You know, we learned at a young age you don't taunt the alligator until you cross the river,
08:51and he's talking about it's going to be a bloodbath.
08:53Shut up, dude.
08:55You don't want to – don't poke the tiger, man.
08:59Brian, I do want to get your thoughts and your involvement on the first ever CTE drug.
09:06But before that, you talked about, you know, Lane, and you know you play for his father,
09:10Monty Kiffin.
09:11Do you believe, Lane, do you believe that Sam Leavitt is potentially doubtful
09:16and not going to play in this game coming up?
09:18Hell no.
09:21Ask me again.
09:24You think Lane messing with him, huh?
09:28Lane's just playing, dog.
09:29He loves it.
09:30He thrives.
09:31This is where he lives.
09:33Kudos to him.
09:34He loves the hatred and everything that's directed towards him.
09:38And live your life.
09:39He's not hurting anyone.
09:40I hope not.
09:41But do you.
09:43He's doing him.
09:44And, man, no one does it better as far as needling, whether it's the press, the other team, a coach.
09:50This is our Steve Spurrier.
09:52This cat is the new Steve Spurrier.
09:55Remember Spurrier?
09:56Yeah.
09:56Spurrier used to do this all the time.
09:58Remember what he used to say about Tennessee?
09:59You can't spell citrus without a U and a T.
10:03Because they could never win the SEC.
10:05They're always going to the citrus bowl.
10:06I mean, that's what Lane is.
10:08I love it.
10:09Give me more.
10:10I might want that old boring grandpa football, man.
10:13Let's have fun.
10:14There we go.
10:15All right.
10:15That's crazy.
10:16Brian, let us know about your involvement in the first ever CTE drug.
10:20Well, we're hoping we can call it the first ever CTE drug that can cure that ailment.
10:27I partnered with Dr. Christina Gavignano earlier this year at the Super Bowl out in San Francisco.
10:33And she's discovered or developed a drug called barcitonib that's FDA approved.
10:38It's currently being utilized for arthritis.
10:42And we're hoping through these trial studies that we're about to undergo that it can be utilized to mitigate the
10:50inflammation associated with a myriad of ailments, such as Parkinson's, dementia, Alzheimer's, depression, and also CTE.
11:01And inflammation she was able to glean is the main driver in all these afflictions.
11:07And so if barcitonibin was affected in arthritis, hopefully it can do the same here and we can reduce that
11:15inflammation, therefore treat the underlining cause of the head trauma.
11:21And so they're seeking men aged 30 to 55 who played 11-plus years of tackle football.
11:27Didn't have to be professionally.
11:29Just played 11-plus years of tackle football.
11:30And to go through this study, man, and you can find out more information at concussion and CTE.org forward
11:40slash barry, B-A-R-I study.
11:43Once again, concussion and CTE.org forward slash barry, B-A-R-I study.
11:50And also, I'm going to give you your phone number, Karina Noll, 404-778-7599.
12:00404-778-7599.
12:03All right, Brian, man.
12:04We always enjoy talking with you, man.
12:06Hopefully we see you down there at the Super Bowl.
12:08We'll get to chat it up with you again, man.
12:11Congratulations again on that big dove for your longhorn.
12:14Hey, man, hook them by God.
12:16And the Coons, dude, I think they're going to get upset up in my hometown of Lubbock this weekend.
12:22All right.
12:23All right.
12:23We'll see about that.
12:24All right.
12:24That's Brian Jones, CBS Sports.
12:26All right.
