You're listening to IRIS Illustrated Insider.

Welcome back for another edition.

I'm Tim Priestur, Tim O'Malley, from IRISA,

illustrated, joined by John Bryce of the Football Scoop.

And we were with Marcus Freeman for about 30 minutes.

It covered a lot of ground.

We covered some of that in our instant analysis outside

of Gate B at Nordame Stadium, but we're back here to go a little bit further in depth. And guys,

Tim, why don't you start us? We, again, we talked about a lot of these things on instant analysis,

but what's at the forefront of your thought process after our time with Marcus Freeman?

Well, it would have been the news of the year if it happened two weeks ago officially,

but it happened two weeks after the fact with Pendleton and Nap. What I didn't get to mention

on instant analysis is Knapp went out and caught someone per Mark. Nap caught

Tosh Baker. Pendleton caught Pat kugan those are different things those

are those are vastly different things touch baker was never projected to start pat kugan started

13 games last season he's considered one of the possible team captains going into august i think

that's actually more relevant for pendleton's asscent, where NAP is still obviously the most

relevant for game one against Texas A&M's pass rush.

And I think for me, it's not only that component, T.O, but it's the fact that we heard

Marcus Freeman speak today about the physicality that those guys brought to the positions to win those starting positions.

I think that's significant.

You're talking about a true freshman on a college campus now for literally not quite eight months.
