How are you out here in all week in preparation for the day so please let me know if things are coming on. So what's been the early impressions now a year and a demon on Steve Sarkisian start in Austin, Texas tricky roller coaster per se ago, Winter 1007 you have really high hopes going into this even build some momentum early on in some of those nonconference games and game in coffin projector you had an absolute showing of offense of dominance of men managers really falling apart. The rest of the way and then obviously didn't pay for work at a 50 football life with about Arkansas and went to last year working will be what Steve Sarkisian had on his plate as well, but coming into the off-season man speak Sarkisian and company they recruited extremely well. Given the circumstances that they went seven and had such a horrible showing in his first year. I thought Bella finds of a positive coaching and positive outlook and with effective team could be right because if people were believing in what socket do and did he return the number five recruiting class in the country and had the best dining class protective ever had. I started computing those that I thought there must be abides in a positive direction that you know thought is the dog could possibly turn pictures around and looking at week one so far gives you a llama know the opponent is and of the same caliber, but the team definitely look like a better version of what we saw, seeking to go in. They seem to be heading in the right direction is obviously clear.

He's doing a heckuva job recruiting. Everyone knows that they got Archie Manning as a juror on the ground they are and are to be entering at campus next year will see fully the starting quarterback will be when you were to get to that in just a second. Anything behind the scenes on the recruitment of a barge Manning and how Sartre got them to go to Texas.

The biggest thing that I heard not having heard like I guess the reason why but I mean our checks have been on on the statement saying that you know he wanted to go somewhere where you feel comfortable and could find himself playing at the next level eventually and Hooker prepare him better for that opportunity in you look at Starks tracker would quarterback that he had in his system and you can see he has a long list of guys that have performed and have performed at a high level on so many occasions with different teams in different conferences so I think that might've been probably the biggest recruiting tool that sort did Nene have to probably tell Archie Manning use part of the product of what socket have been able to do over the course of the past 20 or so years that you can see the proof is in the pudding with him and I think that probably allowed Archie Manning to feel very confident in his choosing of pairing up with Steve Sarkisian at University of Texas Ozzie Whitaker here with gospel to get to this weekend. I just get to eradicate what he expected, a queen yours up against this unbelievable Alabama defense man. I think that's the million-dollar question right everybody wondering if the guy you are that had his first collegiate start first collegiate dialogue is not even a full game since he didn't finish out the third quarter. After Texas had a sizable lead, but he got his first meaningful snap that the collegiate level or not.

And I think I want to think I was most impressed with which he faced adversity early on in that game. On his second collegiate passed through an intersection and we wanted to see how he would respond and I thought he responded beautifully start obviously help them out with the playcalling and then be Jean became his best friend, but we we witness what it was like for us to handle adversity and how he respond to that end, I thought he did a phenomenal job with that matchup this weekend. It is no you LM that's for sure anymore, but I think this will be a great barometer and a measuring stick for him to be able to see you know what it means to play the top talent in the nation what it means to play one of the top coaches to ever have coach the game and you know where to declaring stack up and how favorable is the matchup for grandma, how favorable are some of those matchups for taxes and I think we all get an opportunity to see that and I think women will be prepared for the moment. Obviously, given Sartre's tenure with Nick Sabin and his experiences that he had playing underneath Sabin think Sartre will have a great offense of game plan ready to help combat some of these explosive defenders that Alabama has on the defensive side of the ball. Ozzie Whitaker here with thoughts. I think Quinn Ewers is a top-five storyline in college football because he balls out this year, you basically end the quarterback competition that's good happen in the off-season is good to be tough to sick when you are to be placed really well maybe a barge Manning on a bench for a season at the end of the year.

How do you think were talking about Quinn Ewers not think you will be in that form or fashion, where he has solidified the starting job whenever I look at what he was able to do well in some of the things that he can still work on obviously being a freshman in that first time game type environment decision-making is going to be critical and key especially deftly going to get the team like Alabama you can afford to have turnovers, especially not turnovers on your side of the field so you gotta be very wise and you gotta be smart with the ball. The ball and time out of your hand upon that rhythm in that place to allow you to hopefully stay on schedule. Because if you get out of Bethel, not Alabama, though God will management and doused the printers back in make it hard for the effective office to get something going. But for Quinn Ewers.

Gotta continue to play like he knows how to play. We saw the arm talent on display.

A week ago. A couple of passes to Detective Sanders that would just like wow moments him getting those off-balance rose those completions out to the Baptist. The John obviously got a touchdown out of the backfield. Being able to utilize those playmakers in space, but if you can continue to build off of what you did in week one.

If you have a solid showing again this week. I think his confidence level will be off the roof and in think that was all that he would need in order to solidify himself as a guaranteed starter moving forward into the knowledge of time to hopefully enter into the NFL draft only slipped years to the defensive side of the ball for taxes paid such a tough task for what text has to go up against all offensively since Evaline just going after your quarterback. But when you look at their offense.

They met the best quarterback in college football.

The Heisman Trophy winner from a year ago and Bryce Young. I it's almost impossible to slow down this Alabama offense was if your Georgia national championship game. What is the approach this week defensively for taxes other than go to the church of Brian. You know that's probably the number one thing that they need to do is make sure they are in the church out understanding that you know Nick Sabin been recruited from guys that can absolutely ball out but the first game plan that I'll always look at and this is a game plan that number and I like to play for difficult brown vanilla play for the Panthers as well with mom Rivera. You gotta stop the run and that is that is what Alabama love to do. They will establish to run within any game and it doesn't matter who the running back is obviously Bryce Young is a learner himself. I got account for him as an additional run in the pocket, but I think you gotta stop the run take a lot of scrimmage away from what Bama wants to do, which is obviously easier said than done, but if you can start playing on their side of the ball from the snap, creating penetration of fluent allowing yourself to be able to to be more physical at the point of attack. That's what we thought Georgia during the season ago in the national championship game instructor got a lot more physical than them up front and started to negate that run game and if you can do that it starts to make Alabama one-dimensional and one thing that Bryce Young does not like is pressuring your faith – not just like you hung that they quarterback worst enemy honestly is just pressuring the popular pressure in your face slap you able to if you can stop the run.

You need to be a to collapse the pocket and keep Bryce Young sitting in there because if you get off out of the pocket. That's where a lot of damage is done and creates those big, playfully fees pressure in the pocket is a lot harder for him to see over those taller offenses and defensive lineman. It just makes it a lot harder to complete those passes. So I think the biggest thing that this Texas font will have to do is be able to penetrate coffin having a front. Stopping in the run game or being able to penetrate and contain Bryce on the pocket on dropback passes that give Texans a chance to hopefully stay close.

Makes employees or turnovers late in the game. The rest of the big talk Ozzie Whitaker Baylor BYU this week and I can't wait for that late night game what you think the difference is there brand that is obviously one of the most anticipated games as well for this week and about breaking down the most significant gains within the big 12 conference. I actually bit Baylor BYU game at the most significant because a season ago we saw what Dave Aranda was able to do whenever BYU came into town and Baylor absolutely control a lot of scrimmage and really dominated that BYU team but not only were they able to dominate them on the field they were able to take that same confidence with them the rest of the season and instill that into big 12 conference play, and eventually wound up at the big 12 champion so I can see the game. Having that sort of impact again for Baylor ferry with the goal onto the road where it is going to be an extremely hostile environment and income away with the wind. Especially if it's a sound when and be more physical than what is BYU team has shown take so far back in prove a significant confidence booster for this new look Baylor team would like check in at the quarterback, but if BYU is able to find a way to get the victory. Baylor still have a chance obviously to win the big 12 foot to catapult BYU into another opportunity for for them to have that same confidence booster that allows them to get on a hot streak in this scheduling is not favorable. But if they get on a hot streak against Baylor improved to have that momentum. The rest of the way in their first probably five weeks of the season menu to be looking at a playoff team if they can come away with that unscathed with the momentum that can generate this weekend… He wanted to hear with DOS 01 those high expectations. I think Oklahoma could win the big 12. If Dylan gave her about the Gabriel at the quarterback position. How do you think the transition from defensive coordinator for all those years to head coach will go for Brent Venables, man. Everything that I have heard about that Oklahoma Has been extremely positive. I played against Venables, I know exactly how well-versed he is at the defensive coordinator's resume also speak for himself while he was in DC at Clemson and it Oklahoma so he is well respected around the country and then see in the way that the recruits have responded to not talk about the Sarkisian this off-season, but the way Brent Venables has been able to recruit this off-season as well.

Not having even played a single game I thought was truly indicative of the type of culture in the type of people that he wants around on campus in Norman, and I thought, he's done a phenomenal job of assembling his staff getting people in the right places at the right, now you saw that obviously we could go the way that they were able to dominate you Going up to you know it seems like before five minutes with even into the game that shows how powerful the plan of Oklahoma is and how powerful you have somebody like Brent Venables at the him.

Everybody wants the following Jeff that he is excellent officer coordinator was going to put Dylan Gabriel in the best opportunities in and whenever you have playmakers like they do on the offense of thought of the balding and you look at Richard Grimes and Billy Bowman making plays on the defensive side of the ball the way they word David Wade do as well. Manning down the middle linebacker position.

This is also a championship conference big 12 conference championship caliber team back and when the big 12 this year and Brent Venables first year pick by the middle of the big talk Ozzie Whitaker actually picked Oklahoma State and the reasoning why did it really doesn't make sense but a cognitive but Baylor is the favored by media and that is probably understandable why, especially the way that they moved the ball against Albany and the expectations that they have, but it really hard to repeat as a conference champion if your name is not Oklahoma.

It really happened been done before, so it would be really hard in my opinion for Baylor to repeat at a championship because history proves otherwise. In the big 12 conference. I didn't pick Oklahoma just because I thought there was still too much fresh of the turnover with the guys that have left and in first year for Brent Venables trying to establish the culture that he wants even though he has a talented roster. I just thought it could surmount too little too much at the end of the day, but the most consistent and longest tenured coach in the big 12 with Michael to pick because Mike Gundy had been there, done it. He has a very very solid team and he have the most veteran quarterback and Alice probably do. The biggest key reason why picked Oklahoma State is because Spencer Sanders, the returning first-team all big 12 quarterback is coming back for his final season.

He has the most experience in the big 12. He has the greatest connection with Mike Gundy in that defense typically throughout the recorders against Central Michigan. They look like remnants of what Jim knows at them playing like a season ago.

So if you compare that up with excellent quarterback play with Spencer Sanders her accounting for six touchdowns. I felt like Oklahoma State was going to be a really really tough team to be caught picked Oklahoma State because of that veteran leadership at the quarterback position and the longest tenured coach in my Gundy in a big 12 lasting positive Ozzie Whitaker and I want to engine NFL pointer played a few years of the Carolina Panthers you believer and Baker Mayfield now is there quarterback one you. I've always been a believer Baker Mayfield. I mean identity deductible world. In the often area a plated at Lake Travis high school which is basically to be used for high school within a did a phenomenal job at the high school ranks in any get the college in his story about three well documented architect of thickening going to Oklahoma and doing what he does. There on a national stage and being a Heisman winners will going to Cleveland and you can see his rookie year man. He was phenomenal on point.

Having that team headed in the right direction and opting injuries, derailed the narrative that he wants to write but now that he is completely healthy and got a fresh new look at the new teammate and Krista McCaffrey update the pairing of those two guys will be extremely explosive and dynamic and I know CMAC as a competitor as one of the ultimate competitors and in that same vein, I can definitely see Baker Mayfield being one of those ultimate competitors that will also the pairing of those torn off in the side of the ball I think will prove more successful than what we seen Caroline in the past couple of season Ozzie Whitaker make you check them out big 12 radio on the Longhorn radio network on the games always appreciate the time.
