David Gardner Jewelers in the brand new r Insurance Studio we call it the go hour presented by the warehouse at CC Creations it is still the same Tech sags radio but it's a brand new season guys we've got a new head coach in football got a brand new head coach in baseball the season for football starts this week Notre Dame so we wanted to go bigger and better and that's why they've created this amazing new studio for us to continue to to deliver the top content in all of college sports media so proud to be a part of this team and uh we are really pumped to talk about it 10 cameras in this studio now we're going to try to work out some Kinks so in the very beginning just to bear with us the sound we'll have that fixed as the days go on but we're super excited and I think enough about this you'll be seeing it you'll be seeing all the changes hopefully you're going to the YouTube page or texags.com to take a look at the brand new studio of course to our friends at the CW with that we're going to begin things with my man I feel like sports Center OB all of you can and our Heisman Trophy voter colonist extraordinaire OB welcome to texags live buddy yeah I feel like uh I should be listening to the theme song from The Jeffersons you know we're moving on up we are moving on up maybe we're g to get a piece of the pie now here's the deal usually all the owners aren't watching at the exact same time so we've got to be very careful on how we start off this show because there have been a couple FCC violations that they don't know about um but it's it's going to be fun man yeah what are the odds that my first day in the news studio is also my last one right well there's a meeting after the show by the way um out of curiosity what's the name of the show The Go hour but the the Big Show well texx live now yeah coach ol Buchanon here uh my question for you is look obviously you coached a lot of teams long time um going into a season do can you can you get a feel before the uh before the season starts of of you know quite frankly how good your team is or uh even for a coach does it take a few games before you get a a sense of of what you're working with well you know the old saying is your team improves more after the second game than than the first however uh because of the interest because of the national media there's there's probably more National media that's going to be present at this game than probably any game in A&M history I mean around the country and you look at all the big media people that are going to be in the attendance and certainly ESPN uh it's you know the pressure uh is there the expectation is there so you know as a coach you really don't know until you line up and play you've been practicing against each other and you kind of feel you know that this player is really a a great player or this player or we need help in this position uh you know I think probably as we all know the biggest question right now at A&M is going to be the offensive one 100% agree with that Jackie Cheryl with us here on Tex a radio presented by David Garder Jewelers uh ah there's the one texag live I should say live uh Jackie so how early in Camp would you know if you had something special was something that you would be able to identify very early or is it something that you had to see it on the field for for your great teams no I mean you can tell in practice you can look at uh let's just take a receiver for example or running back defensive back linebacker you can just kind of go through each position and you can tell you know how the player is doing against all the offensive linan for instance one particular against the defensive line or vice versa when you're A&M like how do you what what should scare A&M about Notre Dame well I think the the potential that Riley Leonard has right because he's a true dual threat quarterback but he's still very inexperienced and if you look at just the numbers they don't jump out at you think about where we are in college football over the last two years Notre Dame to save its season or to build for a season has turned to quarterbacks from Wake Forest Sam Hartman and Duke in Riley Riley letter that is probably shows where they've been um in terms of you know recruiting at the quarterback position so I think Riley Riley only has like 24 total career touchdown passes so and Mike Elko certainly knows how to defend him knows him well knows what his strengths and weaknesses are um I think the concern is what Notre Dame has defensively Howard cross into his six season preseason All-American on the defensive line he had a hamstring during Camp no I assume he's healthy and obviously will want to go in this one I mean this is one of the biggest games of the year for Notre Dame they don't have a lot of big games on their schedule at all and I think that's a that's a concern for them and their and their large but they only play eight games against Power four opponents Army and Navy neither one the true Road game one's in the metal lands uh one is at Yankee Stadium Army at Yankee Stadium Northern Illinois and Miami of Ohio no nobody else in the power four only plays eight games against Power four opponent so this is a musthave game for Notre Dame if they want to make the playoffs so uh I'd worry about the defensive line Howard cross I think Benjamin Morrison cornerback potential first-rounder looks good Xavier Watt was nersi Award winner as the best defensive player in college football last year and he had seven picks I don't know if he gets back to seven this year but defensively Notre Dame is a is a very good solid borderline elite team offensively as you mentioned brand new wide receiver room new quarterback uh I mean I don't want to say it's a bad offensive line because we haven't seen these guys play together but in experienced and David we've seen like I've seen SEC teams going to kylei on a Saturday night facing a third in medium a third and long and absolutely crumble versus year one but it's also year three for both of them in their head coaching coaches look they they they went head-to-head last year and Notre Dame won a thriller I can remember watching that at the Avenue sports bar in Dallas uh a lot of my friends frequent there probably way too much probably need to be cut off but uh watching that game I think it was the same weekend as A&M Arkansas if I were a beton man we probably went from there to to watch that game but that was a hell of a football game I know watching it you know Duke should have won that game um you had a a a play on I think fourth and 18 there that was a game where Riley Leonard got hurt if they stop them fourth and 18 and as as Elco and that whole Duke staff and any of those guys here know in a game like that they're probably picking any number of a dozen plays that win them that game I thought they outplayed Notre Dame pretty much wire to wire and that was with Riley Leonard who's now Notre Dame's quarterback this is all very confusing playing for Mike ELO who's now A&M's coach against Marcus Freeman who is not Marvin Freeman but is still Notre Dame's coach so all this stuff but Duke should have won that football game in that head-to-head I think Mike Elco and his staff out coached Freeman that Notre Dame staff they also went into a very hostile environment at Duke it was you know it was a monster game Duke had beaten Clemson earlier in the year at home that place was going nuts rabid guess what place too guess what this place is going to be like Saturday night except it's going to be a 100 plus thousand I don't know how many Duke seats my guess would be I have no idea is that what it is just a total guess here he goes Luke there he goes go Luke so 35,000 35 wow so anyway 35,000 can get pretty loud when you pack them into a tiny that's what that's like the old Miss effect they don't have nearly as much as as the other SEC stadiums and Mississippi State you pack them in there it gets pretty damn loud although Mississippi state with the cow bells kind of cheating but I think Freeman has done a nice job at Notre Dame all right let's close it out Nick I'm gonna make this really easy for you let Kade tell the people what to do because Kade is a good speaker all right we can do that the people need to the people need to like they need to comment they need to
