Danny how are you my friend? Doing just fine. It's a nice badly needed rain out there. Doing a lot of seeding so it comes at a perfect time. Does it? I'm planning on doing that this weekend. I'm hoping to see. We'll see. We tried to grow grass this summer. Yeah good good idea we did a project off of our deck which was lovely a lot of new rock work and everything There was one patch we wanted to Sawed so they saw it it it's now nice and yellow It was lovely green when it was put in yeah I watered it just the way it was supposed to but You know day after day after day of 95 to 100 degree heat and no rain. Yeah, that was good not ideal

Let's start with the Missouri Tigers. Sure. What's its state for Mizzou in this game against Mississippi state They are a dog and I don't think any of us thought they were gonna be a dog going down to Starkville Before the season began but the play of their quarterback What says Camario Taylor Camario Taylor? He's been brilliant. He's been outstanding They're talking about him being a Heisman finalist. It's a cool name too So I'm looking forward to watching him since I have a Heisman vote Um, I have not watched him yet. I will pass up to that But I will definitely be watching them against Missouri. He's in some highlights. I mean he's been highlights He's been great. He's hitting almost 70% of his passes. He's average six point six yards per carry And that in college counts getting sacked and he's been sacked four or five times So you know, that's negative yardage for your so he's probably averaging about eight yards of carry basically And they have a hundred yard rusher to some talented wide receivers The coach where did this come from because they were not it's supposed to be this good They it's the third year for the coach and

But he's the guy that was he just was he was the DC for The pirate oney Mike leech what when he just bumped up when Mike leech passed away No, that was the other coach the DC now is that coach who got fired. Oh really? Okay He was to coach there. They fired him as head coach and he came back Jeff Jeff Levy Jeff Levy is this coaches his third year. They had been They've said that he's been bringing in some pretty good talent But I think maybe they need the trigger man and I this that this maybe is a building process I mean they he took over a team that had only one two games and I think they work he went to his first year Then he went one five and so most people thought they were a team that's improving There's quarterbacks from like 30 miles down the road right and apparently he's You know a die hard Mississippi state fan. He really wants to be there You know he's taken ownership of you know wanting to revive Mississippi state football seems like it'll probably stay if he plays even if he plays well

That remains to be seen in this particular landscape Chris Jones I asked him me and Todd were were hitting him up with questions Todd started the subject of N.I.L. and guys coming in having a check and It already making money, you know before they get here and we start talking about I said well Are you gonna give to the N.I.L. or have you been he said no, but but yes, he's gonna because we got to keep the quarterback And that's a good point because uh he's if he plays continues to play like this now their schedule The thing that's important about this gets game is vital for both teams Mississippi state schedule is awful after this game and Missouri is very much better. So This is a really important game. I think for both teams. I think the loser of this game could see a promising season Go in the wrong direction and I think Based on their play so far Mississippi state is a warranted touchdown favoriter six point favor Who's got the better win is the better win South Carolina at South Carolina? I think it was by Mississippi state or is it well at Kansas?

Well, they by Mizzou they both raised Minnesota at Minnesota to The week before South Carolina. So they've got two excellent wins so far So I would say that their body of work is is better overall, but which is the better when you think are both of those games You think better than beating Kansas? Yeah, I do I do think they are unfortunately. I don't they Kansas I think is gonna struggle this year. I think they're gonna end up with a worse record than maybe their team is because I don't think they're And let's the quarterback, you know, he I don't want to divert to Kansas But he he looked better last week, but he only looked better in comparison to you know horrendous performance in the first game So I think it's a huge game You know We what we hope for Missouri is that they you know they look good against Arkansas pine bluff their impressive against Kansas Simmons was impressive against Kansas and that there was just a letdown because Troy Pretty much outplayed him I thought I mean, I thought maybe Troy deserved to win the game If they hadn't had an untimely turnover or two

Missouri's had trouble running the ball on a down to down basis They've had a couple of nice big runs which has made their statistics look a little bit better But which which Simmons is it I mean, no that was true dr. Jekyll and mr. Hyde I mean he couldn't look better against Kansas and he was dreadful there right game that was that was martial Esk and there were a handful of throws where it looked like that even come out of his hand right And I was one was like almost end over end that that did not the zip He was putting on the ball in Lawrence and he's like did you is he throwing with the other hand? I think they almost raised something after an early play that maybe he was dinged up or you know They I think didn't drink what say stuff after the game about how he was he was impressed with how he hung in there Almost intimating that there was some you know that he wasn't 100% at some points during the game I hope so because you look terrible. Yeah, I'm that game As a whole I'm I'm willing listen if they get boat race by Mississippi state. We're gonna be like okay Kansas has got off all and Missouri's just okay, right? That's what we're gonna end up saying

But I I think Missouri's gonna come play a lot better. I think that was a complete flat spot. Yeah, I got caught off Kansas I'm willing to look at it that way. Yeah for now, but I think this game will prove the point you know have Mississippi state while play you know while putting up an impressive resume so far and no question about that You know There probably no world beaters. They're likely to lose their next four games after this. So Yeah, I you can't say that when you're going on the road and you're almost a touchdown underdog that you should win the game But if you have designs on being you know a good team this year Team that's going to improve say on last year when they won eight games And this kind of mandatory that you win this game. They follow it up with two home games, but they're against Florida and Texas A&M and Then you hit the road for Ole Miss to follow so Well, the only give me left on their schedule based upon what we've seen so far now that Mississippi state has played its way up into being a top 25 team Florida's made its way up to playing into a top 25 team can tuck you in at a

M. Yes, Oklahoma just fell out of the polls so Arkansas is the only gives it right And so what what Curtis what do you expect them to do the rest of the way Nine games I That is that is just a gauntlet I Five and four maybe I think they're going to have to steal if there's a particularly if they lose This one they're going to steal one somewhere along along the line Um, well, I think Florida and Texas A&M at home if If they lose to Mississippi state all bets are off. Yeah, they could lose a bunch of Games, you know, that's I don't think there's much question about that But if they win and look good, you know, you would figure you could at least split against Florida and Texas A&M And you get the Arkansas win and Kentucky at home. Okay, Kentucky's better, but where will they be that then they may have lost

Several games then got beat up whatever Oklahoma never scores so it's the last game Where how they play this weekend? Well not only give them a win if they win it would make me Maybe they can win one more the other so it may be a two game difference maybe only win how one other like you know One of the games it yeah, they might win an extra game if they win this weekend I may be feel better about one of the other games and and it really ends up being at a two game net if they they Take that one down you feel better about them beating an A&M or at home or even The Texas or a Kentucky at home But it lose and I think you have to see you have to start re-evaluating every game the rest of the way and That's why it's such a it's such a pivotal Match and Mississippi state is usually one of the easier stops in the SEC to play They usually don't fill the stadium up, but it's is gonna be uh You know, I think just Full house they're fired up like all the club bells they Guinness Book of world records is there for the most cowbell

Time so you know we're talking about this we're talking about just some stuff for college game day tomorrow and But we're taping something. I'll just say that In a we said I said somebody brought up the cowbell and the Guinness book world records. I said they're gonna set it Yeah, I mean they they can get it can it get us done show up and the chiefs when they did that the chief It could have been the quietest game in the history of airhead stadium and they would have said the record I mean Well, you have to pay them to come out. Yes, right. I know So like they could be like no, sorry you didn't get there. Thanks for the check see you But I tend to agree with you like because when they Should have back Well, when they set that record well that that's the thing is like going back and forth there for a while Which would be a city in Seattle like the money is in the record getting broke Right, it's not in it not getting broke Yeah, right? So but when they set that record it was not even the loudest moment in the game the game was long I know we were there were just like this side. We're like what really? When this tremendous roar came or like what are you talking about

I mean like I like the shirts. I'm glad Kansas City has it. Yeah, I don't buy it for a second But yeah, right. It's I think it probably is the loudest stadium in in football because of the I I find it Hard hard to believe Seattle does cover the fans So there's a little bit of cupping of the noise over on the sides, but the ends are open Yeah, and so it just seems logical to me that an enclosed bowl of which there are almost none anymore Is where you're gonna get the loudest stadium. So I do believe Arrowhead is the loudest stadium. I just don't believe measuring it off this Unbelievably roar that came over the crowd is the cheese erupt 20 something in the fourth quarter Yeah, that hog. Don't you think Ford Field or a lion should be the loudest Uh, you would think a dome some kind of dome, but yeah that distinction means about as much to me as the 1916 national championship I think you're giving you're you're almost throwing shade on the 1916 national championship

At least that was a football team that existed for real good. That's true. Never did it. It's loud Yeah, it's fine. It's more legitimate. I'm just saying Guinness comes to town. You're setting a record here probably saying a record I do agree. I don't know. So what what did you end up saying? How many wins the are you feeling right now? I think they're gonna have a hell of a tough time having a winning record in the SEC Yeah, but and I but this is this is the tipping point game for that when this game I think you got a good good shot at five and four Which would give you an aid in foresee and I don't see much more upside than that. Yeah, I think it's maybe they'll this game could show it Say Simmons reverts to you know, it looks just like he did against Kansas accurate poised You know big arm perfect spiral. They throws a beautiful football. That's for sure Then that changes things if he has another mediocre game. You're like well, this is the guy that Good bench Mississippi You know now it was Trinidad, Chambers, but still he beat him out. So

And then he didn't have we heard anything about a mod hearty by the way Like are we getting no it was just we're going to Eric Barry on this no I don't think there's much much news at all. I asked someone last week who would know I said What are we situation with is there now a percentage chance that he doesn't play it all this year? And he says pretty small, but it's certainly possibility And I said I think I underestimated the impact of a man being taking a bullet to the leg Who whose job it is to run Right, and you really know what kind of damage was done. Sometimes the person can get shot And then and then you bullet can go through your leg and it really doesn't do that much. I you use the term job These are student athletes They are good point good point Christopher Vino's on that college game day tomorrow. So he'll have an update with there you go. There's a tease. Okay With NIL Sponsorships I'll give you I'll give you which they're all going and doing the autograph sessions. They're supposed to lose tomorrow

Four and five wind tomorrow six and three There we go in the league specific. So so nine a wind tomorrow is it there are nine and three team lose tomorrow and they are a seven and five they'd be good enough to pluck one of those games one of those home games It that might that I might not feel so good about if they lose tomorrow like Oklahoma or Texas. Oh lose tomorrow go three and six seven and five Where's Eli in this conference where it matters more? No, lose tomorrow would be This is four and five and they'd be I know you said that I said oh I see I could see them going three and six in the league If they lose tomorrow I I can't too. I mean I think I don't think it's all on whether they win or lose tomorrow But I just think it does kind of set the tension. Yeah, well what they are Your defense hasn't been that good either. Yeah, they're not they're neither side of the other line has been Estolized I mean can't just put up 21 points and quite a better yardage with quarterback who was you know playing with a blindfold on yeah

I mean they have How many of their SEC games are ranked? They don't know oh right now six of them. I'm looking to like Florida schedule they have One two three they only have four of their SEC games Kentucky's probably borderline ranked aren't they I would think They're not there now, but I know they can be close. I mean they they have a loss already I remember who the loss was to think it didn't they get slapped by Um Yeah, they got out of them. They were in a pretty good game at the half and then they got 14 and then they fell a little bit they definitely dinged A&M for losing to them because they felt all the way down to 23 they were like seven. They're currently 27 Kentucky They're second in the receiving votes talk about Probably feeling like you're not getting a shake from the old conference office You can tucky gets two Conference games in the first three games and it's Alabama and Texas A&M

G-thanks. Have fun. You're here to take the L Right get to it quickly Right Of course they they play Louisville every year so that hurts them because that's it like an Iowa state situation Now that you only get three non-conference games, you know, and I always have to play Iowa state So no matter whether you want to or not. I mean Iowa state has to That those situations Now with these teams the conferences all playing nine and you've got a like a rivalry game you play all the time And it's a good program that makes for tough sledding for sure By the way, I would like to salute Iowa by the way from making them play those games It's not an option right I That's a state law law and I I applaud them. They play we're gonna give you state monies Then you're gonna give us the game we want. Yeah, you have to play northern Iowa too. Yeah, I think it's great. I do too Nothing.

I think it's three

It is three They mentioned the white socks and royals also the 2017 twins The 2020 Marlins did it but that's that was a 60 game season. I don't get my count No, we're not counting that so what's amazing is that it has happened just three times ever and It's all three been in the last 10 seasons and it's all been in the aile central I mean, I guess that makes sense You know it's hard to lose a hundred games and then bounce back in the in the east right But and they're the first team to ever do it after consecutive yeah, 100 They did three three. Yeah Good good for them They got a there that's it they did a great job. They've got two guys on their team from the 121 loss team two years ago Ben take note Ben and 10 D and one coffin way can you please take note and Like this like oh, we can't trade anybody because you know

We're gonna need them next year the white socks turned over 24 of 26 guys in two years. No, made some good trades three of the guys on their team Who played like in the series against the royals were in the crochet deal No, so they made some good deals.

I think they will but this is another game of intrigue and answering questions K states played a pretty light schedule so far although it looked a little better going in but you know and I think Two lanes of there. You know, they've been a winning program. So but I think they've got like the hundred Let me see. I've got it right here. I know they've had the Nations 150 fifth rank schedule so far this year so This is a test game since in that he has has got to feel like they've got a little bit of a winning culture going here This so far that it had to come back away. They had to come back against the Mac team, but they're three and oh also Probably going to be a high scoring game So it's kind of another proof it game, but I would lean toward the cats getting it done. You think they're real I'm leaning toward yes. I think in the look I have Very bullish on the fact that Colin Klein is going to be a good coach and run a good program. This is year one

This game I think well, this is a game that's going to say a lot because they they should win this game I mean, I think they look like they're a better team. I think they have what I think is a solid coach and a good coaching staff and young and promising But you know, maybe it's a little too soon You know, every Johnson has been a sort of a fester famine player in his career. He kind of has been this year too I mean, he had a you know three touchdown two-win reception game With a pick six and another one that probably could have been But last week he became the first player and you know In the university history to run for 200 and I mean throw for 200 and run for 150 in the same game So he has the ability to do that Buddy's mistake prone to so throw a couple picks Cincinnati has a good offense I think the cat's defense is good But I think this will be another test, but I yes, I lean toward the fact that they'll get the job done. Yes Yeah, I like him. I think I do too

You know, I'm with you and then maybe I'm just getting too excited about calling client, but I think he's gonna be an excellent coach. I mean it doesn't I mean, you know how many programs are like why can't our star player be a great coach You know like I give me you dream of he didn't just kind of middle around At case date he was a he was a high-spin finalist one here and well one thing he one thing he did was he went to the pros He didn't you know, it wasn't going great when he hasn't decided to just you know Keep going to camps and everything you just get right in back into coaching So that's that's an advantage most team star player is gonna go play pro football for a while So that probably hurts or then they make a bunch of money and they don't care about coaching In this case, I think Yes, you got to like a coach who after last week's game his team his team had five penalties. Okay, that's not great But it's not like 11 goes way way too many penalties. I'm disappointed in the penalties. No Okay Yeah, you know demanding excellence from which which you know

I think he knows like it just you just don't I mean is there a better scenario He's still got a proof that he can do it. I mean I'm waving the checkered flag that you know He's got to get through this year and multiple years and keep stacking good seasons, but the way it looks like it's it's angling is there a better Marriage of like a home no town guy. Oh no anywhere in college football. No, this is it Tough hard knows Football player for you. Kirby smart go to Georgia. He wouldn't he wouldn't a he's been finalist No, he did play ball there. I think here we I thought he played a dallebaama, but maybe I'm wrong He might be right. I think it was a safety, but it hurt us will find out here in a minute No, I don't think it is. I think you've got a guy who was you know played hard knows football put his body on the line for the team He did that you know 95 to get how dare you doubt me Didn't doubt you I wasn't certain there was no certainty there. I'll tell you when I'm certain

But no, I mean he checks all the boxes. He said bill Snyder disciple and you know Good family man You know, I think he used to you know man of faith that if that matters to you But doesn't wear it on his sleeve as much as maybe some which is like you know Gabbo So Anyway, yeah, I think they're pointed in the right direction But for this season this is another early season conference game where you're gonna learn a lot to have someone who has is a creative and their schedule is Yeah, peachy. Well, I mean Number 25 Houston next week and then there's not another ranked team on it now that's part of that's just because There are 20 big 10 and SEC teams in the rankings. I'm exaggerating, but I'll bet I'm close right I'll bet I'm close But even from this if the standpoint of the teams that are supposed to compete, you know That's one of the reads like BYU and Texas Tech of the teams that are the top five or six teams in the odds right now to to win the big 12

They only play one of them a piece and and Tech has already played that one team Houston maybe him last week. So Scheduling, you know, we're gonna talk about this on college game. I was way off. Yeah 17 Big 10 and SEC we're gonna talk about this in college game day tomorrow some because It's scheduled Viewing your schedule has become far too important in college football I mean the way that leagues are so big and you know you catch a season where you've got the more home games that year Or you don't play any other good teams. I mean next year Missouri plays Look at their schedule next year on the road. You could read that off. You'll have a lot of fun with that one But like I said BYU and Tech don't play anybody some other Teams do Mississippi State plays four gauntlet games right in a row right after this So the most important thing and in candycapping any Season is looking at the schedule. Look at Kansas the schedule This is a year where they have four home games and they sold one to go to London and lost it

Oh, I just just looked Bama LSU OU South Carolina and M all on the road So that's why I was talking about I mean have to have yourself another good are you are you are you being critical of them selling the game to go to London no no, I think it's a great experience and I know I'm not what I'm saying You're up or deck on one side of your stadium. I mean I think that would be a great time to go No, I'm not criticizing it. I'm just saying it's the reality of this season. Yeah, it's gonna be a difficult pull for Kansas To win some games Her quarterback better shape up quick because I think they could end up being a team that Probably looks good in many areas. I think they you know have looked good in most areas except quarterback so far So yeah, I mean that just makes it more difficult. That was to my point about Missouri before They go out and sort of semi-lay an egg this year and then they got that schedule next year

Look out Eli Cred no We'll take a break. We'll come back. We'll talk some chief's football as they get ready to go down to Miami We're talking to Danny Klingscale little Danny Unleashed Let Eastern roofing get up on your roof and take a look I get up on the roof let the experts Eastern roofing can get up there I mentioned all the hail damage that's been there inspections estimates free With Eastern roofing no payment collecting until you're 100% satisfied That's how Eastern roofing does business founded on integrity You can find them right now at Eastern roofing.com or call and schedule appointment at 913 257 54 26 Talking to Danny Klingscale little Danny Unleashed always brought to you by our friends at Eastern roofing Um gutter cleaning set time of year Gonna have to know it may not me.

We'll be talking about holiday lights as well Eastern roofing Danny what can be Accomplished down in Miami. Oh I think it would be I think affirming all this momentum and the fact that you're playing Good football and the homes looks good and you know, I think We would look at the chiefs. It's slightly differently. You know, they they came Pretty close to losing the game, you know, they did win the game and they outgained them significantly and and all that but I think we would have be would be picking a little more lint if they had lost the game and they you know It's over time game at home, but that's not I don't think the offensive blind. I think Patrick Mahomes was

You know vintage glorious Patrick Mahomes in this game. I thought there was a lot of heat on him during the course of the game That he handled now he created one sack. I think the poor decision by him step up in the pocket, but I and and then the defense wasn't you know particularly good so But they quote unquote got away with it. I don't think that's even fair. I think the chiefs looked good in the game But you know just continue that don't go down to Miami against a bad team that might lose every game this year and You know Fill around or look bad or have Pat gets sack three times or you know give up a bunch of rushing yarded station and you know That's what they're going to try to do to establish it. So you got to prove that I mean that's their only path to winning the game is to have him You know run it 28 times even at 3.8 per carry and Eat the clock on you and then you're in a tight game. So I think still think this early in the game You're just not going to shrug your Shoulders and say oh well ho hum 20 to 17 we won

I think that wouldn't be a good sign now. I agree I think you need to go down and put this team away early You definitely don't want to you don't want to get your starters out of as fast as possible I know like I don't want to hear the chiefs talking like I'm talking, but Let's say it again. I'm not playing so I can be overconfident. There's there's no reason for Miami to stay in this game No, I haven't The chiefs fancy themselves being as good a football team as the 49ers and they just Undressed Miami. Well that game was at home but You know they my it's sometimes it's a weird place to go the Patriots always struggled there when they were good uh But this is the time of year where The fact that you're going down to hot and human Miami doesn't matter as much because you've been training all along and hot Inhuman conditions. Yeah, if it's December and you've been outside in the cold for two months Then maybe it's a bad reaction and guys are cramping up and stuff like that that shouldn't happen in this game either so Play effectively avoid injuries and and win comfortably now teams never

Don't necessarily take players out nearly as soon as I would like Especially at quarterback. I It's something I will never understand ever in in a 38 to 10 game midway through the fourth quarter Most NFL starting quarterbacks are out there and I don't get it but you know Maybe this one will be lopsided enough that paddle gets a sit. I don't know Yeah, it's weird. I don't even I don't understand it. I mean just from the standpoint Maybe we'll say well there's just gonna hand off and right well your your tackle steps back and steps on new quarterbacks foot or Rolls-em what you know why The back up can hand it off. He's just gonna hand off. It's more reason. It's not like more practice more reps Are we building chemistry here? I you know if if if they're gonna play their regular game plan and you know Maybe get some more stats for pad or something that okay. I'll listen to that But they're they're gonna hand the ball to hopefully not Kenneth Walker at that point, but

You know Emmett Johnson give him the ball But that's that's a soapbox that Nobody has stood on for in the national football league for a long time So they they enter they begin here with basically they're going three months playing three home games Right you talk about the schedule the other ones. They got two at home to start They got three out of four at home To finish and they only have the eight Home games this year. I mean that's why the game that's why winning that game. Yes, it was in the in the hat Was so big. I mean you got six home games the rest of the year and as you say this stretch right here almost none Well, and I think it's important to beat the dolphins and I don't think the Raiders are going to be a playoff team So you know they they've beaten the dolphins and the and the chargers who knows who knows yeah, they've looked bad so far They've they've looked terrible But they're two and oh and they're behind Houston and the power ranking so Most of the national scribes aren't bad yet Houston I was looking to sell Houston has started oh and two last year they started oh and three they've started oh and two

Now three of the four years under de mechal riots last year they want they started oh and three and one twelve games He clearly has a problem getting off the ground You know if you that's you know remember Marty always like you know We got to find a way to start better and you know always close fast, but they were always for yeah, yeah Well, he's like it, you know, it's like Steve Spagnolo on defense. I mean his team's just defenses always get it better as the season goes along Is that as that we're gonna call that a slow start? I mean I fit to be fair You kind of have to now they tend to turn over a lot of people in place and he's you know A little slow to incorporate young players most of the time not this year So that's what I loved about this year is the bridges were burnt and that's why when ligeria's need came in a Like are you gonna place need over the young players? Yes, yeah And that's you know, I'm optimistic. We're going to see Mansor D'Alene Tadley will be with us a little bit later on. I'll be here with you read how to say about Mansor D'Alene getting on the field

Sunday down in Miami, but Yeah, I mean, I do think you need to just be like these are all you've got are young players. He's got to be out there Mm-hmm, you know, so and I am optimistic that you know those young players are gonna get better and the defense is gonna get better I think spagnolo like most coaches is a counter puncher So he needs to get some tape on what you're doing and then he'll come up with what his strategy will be but And I thought you know that That wasn't you know the 30 points were you know 33 points. That's not good But you know, it wasn't a pile of yardage. They gave up. I thought that Daniel Jones was very effective in mitigating a lot of pressure on him I thought he did a good job in that in that game And except for a bad pick which turned out to be a very big play and gave the chief some momentum but You know the Jonathan Taylor only ran for 3.8 yards of carry. I mean he was effective, but it wasn't like you got run over So yeah, I I think there's room for improvement there. I'm not thinking that this looks like a bad defense

So say that well, I mean, I think Again, we'll see if Mansor D'Alene plays this week, but they played two games Without the starting left tackle and their number one corner and they're two and no We those are those are big Players to be down. So there's definitely whatever they are now. There is definitely ceiling still to be had Well one thing I think that's important about Mansor D'Alene being in and an excellent player is Do the chiefs have a home run hitter on defense? Well, when was the last time they did? Well, Chris Jones, I think you could say was Home right here. Okay. I mean he was a player at the points of his career He was one of the best at his position if not close to the best. I don't think he's that player anymore. So Who is? You know, you can make a great defense or a very good defense out of a bunch of good pros But most teams that are great on defense have some guy you really have to account for That they people game plan to get around be it an air and Donald type or a cornerback you never throw at

Stuff like that. I don't know if the chiefs have that and maybe D'Alene could provide that is I'm not so sure that's a hundred percent important, but I'm looking at evidence of most great defenses Do have someone that you're worried about? Down the road we will look back and say well, this is when Pat was a hundred percent healthy one of the odds that it was He's a we we already we just saw it. It was game two and we're not going to be questioning Well, he looked I don't think he has to be a hundred percent healthy No, but I'm but do you think he is? No No, I don't I mean even the first run that everybody celebrated. I thought he looked a little Gimpy on that you know, but he's never been a pretty runner. So But you know, he's wearing a big brace. No, I don't think he's anywhere. No, I think he But he can play around that. You could he could play old man football Well, I mean that was the question He's gonna have to answer at some point when his legs are shot

But that's one of the things we were wondering coming into this year and so far He has and I think Andy read his helped him out immensely by getting a good running game and you know Calling bootlegs and play action and those kind of things. I think it's been a you know, I mean I think all the things we wanted to see we've seen to this point. Yeah for the most Physically good as we could have hoped in any reads Created an offense that allows it to that takes some pressure off him having to be Superman on every play the running game Has kept them out of those third and 12s that he often had to convert with his legs. Not certain three Right, I think those signs of Raga signs on offense are great because they are not even completely healthy and they look good Yeah, I agree Danny great stuff. We appreciate it college game day tomorrow We'll be listening to that. We will talk with you again next Friday sounds great Danny Klicksky.
