| 0:00.0 | Welcome in everybody to the flagship podcast. |
| 0:13.9 | I am Chip Brown, columnist at Horns247.com joined, as always here on the flagship by our fearless leader, the managing editor of |
| 0:22.2 | Horns 247. Taylor S.DIS. Taylor, how are you doing? I'm doing well, Chip. You know, we have a lot |
| 0:29.8 | to talk about today on the flagship podcast coming off of Texas. Pretty substantial win, I think, |
| 0:36.3 | and definitely a defining win for Steve Sarkesian in |
| 0:39.9 | game one with that 38 to 18 win over Louisiana Saturday. So got a lot to talk about. I'm excited. |

| 1:34.5 | And there were some penalties that Steve Sarkesian said they'll clean up. |
| 1:38.6 | But for the most part, you saw a first time starter quarterback settle in. Hudson Card, a little rough early, |
| 1:48.5 | but then settled in, had a coming of age drive on the 14 play, 72-yard drive that took |
| 1:57.0 | almost eight minutes off the clock in the second quarter. That was huge. |
| 2:02.3 | He found his third down receiver in Jordan Whittington two twice on that drive. |
