And coming up, there's a big name that will play a major role on that Texas Longhorns defense. And that is coming up in just a few moment. The Tennessee Volunteers are going to try to establish the run. That's exactly what they're going to try to do. Uh, Faison Brandon, he can tote that pill. I'm not going to sit here and lie to you, Texas Longhorns fans. That is what he can do. Uh, and alongside, uh, Deshaun Bishop, who is their RB1, and he had 147 touchdown— um, 147 yards, I'm sorry. 147 touchdowns, we would be in big trouble. But 147 yards against Georgia Tech about a week ago. Yeah, because they played Kennesaw State last week. Um, so, but they're gonna try to get Faison Brandon involved in the running game. They're gonna get some RPO, they're gonna get, um, some maybe some QB keeps, and that's going to try to— they're going to try to get us to fall for that run and open up the play action and, and, and get, uh, Rodarius involved on over on the outside. We can't let that happen, right? We can't let that happen. And they do have 2 tackles that are absolutely— dude, they're dudes. They're guys. I'm not gonna sit here and lie to you. One thing about me. I won't lie to you guys at all. They are dudes. That line of scrimmage, that their front line, they can move people just as ours can move people. So that's why I say this will be pure trench warfare. But first things first, regardless of whatever Tennessee has going on, uh, Cowshy still has us winning this game comfortably.

Now again, like I said, they're going to try to establish the run early, and we cannot fall for that. So how are we going to shut down their running their their running lanes? That key guy Ian Gifford. Yes, big ninety-five holding down the fort in the middle. Yes, we have Lance Jackson on the outside, and yes, we have Colin Simmons on the outside. We need him to play a major role. Now, let me, let me, let's backtrack a little bit. Backtrack a little bit. Let's backtrack. Remember in the Ohio State game, right? And I was saying how Ian played a major factor. Every time he went out, they spanned Bo Jackson right up the middle, spanned him up the middle, spanned him up the middle. Every time he came in, they couldn't run the ball anymore. And they knew they couldn't beat us from side to side because Raheem Biles and Colin and Lance, They were— we have a fast defense, okay? But they figured every time 95 goes out the game, we can attack the middle. Well, Tennessee knows that and they're going to try that. We're going to have Ian Gifford in there and I'm hoping we'll have him in there for a good while, for a good while. Because he too is a people mover on the defensive side of the football. And when he has attention to him, they're going to want to double him. That's going to free up somebody else. He's the key guy, guy. He's, he, he is, he is. Let's, let's not fake the funk. He is. What we're gonna have to do, and we're gonna have to stay disciplined. They're gonna try to do a lot of trickeration. They're gonna try to, oh, they're gonna fake it to Deshaun and, and, and Faison's gonna keep it. Uh, they're gonna give it to, um, Deshaun and, and Faison's gonna act like he has the ball. We have to have eye discipline. And I do trust Raheem Biles. I do. I know our safeties are physical. They're gonna come down. They're gonna hit somebody. Right? I know our linebackers that we did struggle a little bit against UTSA when the linemen came to the second level, but I believe them keying in on Ian Girard this game, this will open up major opportunities for other guys on that defensive line and in our linebacker room. I'm looking forward to this game. I'm looking forward to this game. It's a big matchup, and I'm. Surprises at noon Eastern Standard Time. I thought this would be probably seven again, maybe.
