| 0:00.0 | Well, Brian, let's talk then a little bit about defense. And let's dive into what this side of the ball has in store. |
| 0:25.6 | Like we said, Mike Elko is now calling plays for the defensive side of the ball. |
| 0:30.1 | And I think that is one of the reasons why the switch up for Utah State, they really didn't |

| 1:07.6 | Which is smart because everybody in this chat that's listened to me for the last year |
| 1:11.5 | knows my opinion of Jay Bateman and it's not a good one. |
| 1:14.9 | I think that's, look, if you're going to win, you're going to win because of |
| 1:18.2 | you're a defensive head coach and your defense are going to have to get better. |
| 1:21.9 | What's ironic is Texas A&M has been such an inconsistent program because they're not |
