| 0:00.0 | I'll tell you what, I was never like really the first one picked. I was probably always picked like towards the middle. Like we were like playing some pick up stuff because I was small. My freshman year I was like 5-7-125, I think it was. It was actually a funny story. Like I went to the doctor. The doctor had told me I was going to be like 5-9, not 5-9, probably 5-9 or 5-10. And I wasn't having it. |
| 0:21.5 | Like, I got in the car. |
| 0:40.5 | Like, man, I don't want to be short. Like, I was going off in the car. And, you know, luckily, I had a little girl spurred my own junior year high school. You know, shout up to like 6-2. So that was good for me. I would have been mad. My dad always every day had me on protein shakes drinking milk. |
| 0:39.6 | I hated milk. that was good for me. I would have been mad. My dad always, every day had me on protein shakes. |
| 0:41.3 | Drinking milk. I hated milk. |
| 0:43.7 | I still don't drink milk, like, to this day, |
| 0:47.2 | because he forced me to drink milk because he said it was going to help me grow. |
| 0:52.6 | So I guess it worked kind of, but, you know, milk and protein shakes, definitely. |
| 1:09.7 | All right, welcome to another edition of Hey Fighten Podcast. |
| 1:44.5 | I'm going to skip all the intro stuff, get right down to business with Jacob Hester. After I talk with Jacob, I've got an interview done with Grant Delpit on Thursday that I'll play for. A really good conversation with Grant, really opened up, talked about how much he hates milk, which I think is what every tiger fan wants to know. And Jacob's over here kind of upset about that take. It's a controversial take from Grant, the anti-milk stance. It is. I drink a gallon of milk like almost every day. And look, my bones are strong because of it, never had a broken bone. It's because of all the calcium and milk. I'm just saying. Well, he did credit milk for his growth spur. I don't know if you know this, |
| 2:01.9 | but when he was a freshman, he was like 5, 6, 130 pounds as a high school freshman. So the milk did his body good, so to speak, helped him grow into the monster that he is today. Yeah, see, I was the opposite in high school. Maybe I drank too much milk because I was 510, 25353 playing nose guard. So maybe he's on to something. |
| 2:20.8 | Yeah, I think it's all about balance. Maybe switch to almond milk or something. Enough milk talk. Let's talk football. Let's get right into the brass tax here. LSU heading to Texas tomorrow. A lot of storylines, a lot of non-football storylines. I want to kind of focus on the football storylines. |
| 2:33.3 | Two teams that, honestly, when I was watching Texas earlier, I'm not the biggest X-as-N-O's-Gy. But two similar teams. I mean, Todd Orlando seems to run a very similar scheme to what Dave Miranda does, three-down, bringing blitzes from different places, trying to apply pressure in different places, disguising blitzes. |
| 2:35.3 | And then offensively, it's a lot of RPO. |
| 2:34.4 | It's a lot of, you know, takeising blitzes. And then offensively, |
| 2:39.1 | it's a lot of RPO. It's a lot of, you know, take the dink and dunk and then try to hit downfield with their big receivers, three senior wide receivers guys with good frame. So just what have you seen on tape from Texas? What are the challenges they posed to LSU? Yeah, so Texas on defense, you said it. they're a big zone blitz team they're going to be strong dog weak dog you know sam mike will mike |
| 2:54.2 | those two people are not going to be in a bigitz team. They're going to be strong dog, weak dog, you know, Sam Mike, Will Mike, those type of blitzes. You'll see an edge player drop into coverage. And look, if they get to pay dirt, if they get to Joe, obviously that's a plus for them. but also when you're running zone blitzes and if LSU gets it picked up and with the way that LSU's running backs have |
| 3:09.0 | shown they can run the routes |
| 3:10.6 | and catch the way that |
| 3:07.8 | ls u's running backs have shown they can run the routes they can catch the football and really be |
| 3:12.8 | dynamic afterwards i mean we all saw john emery last week one cut get your foot in the ground go |
| 3:17.5 | north and south and it's a big play off a short pass and so look when you're doing you know those |
