Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Oklahoma vs. Michigan Recap

• Oklahoma defeated Michigan 24-13, a critical win given their tough upcoming SEC schedule.
• Oklahoma's upcoming schedule: Texas, South Carolina, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Alabama, Missouri, and LSU, with six out of seven opponents being ranked teams and all in consecutive weeks ([09:31]).
• Shannon notes Michigan’s freshman QB Bryce Underwood (just turned 18) struggled in a hostile environment:

  “He looked like an 18-year-old guy starting in a very hostile environment. Missed some throws, took his eye from downfield.” ([07:51])

• The crew discusses Oklahoma’s defensive dominance and how Venables made it hard for even experienced QBs, let alone an 18-year-old.
• Ocho critiques Michigan's offense for not adjusting their play calling:

  “If you see that the running game isn't working, lean on your quarterback to make some other plays… rolling him out, playing to his strengths” ([11:03])

• Johnny stresses need for quick, easy completions to build a young QB’s confidence:

  “You have to put him in situations and play calls... where it's no thought, no read, just bang.” ([14:43])

• Shannon counters that rolling out a QB reduces his options and that Underwood’s inaccuracy on the move is a big concern:

  “If you can't throw well on the move, it's going to be very difficult for you to beat these teams.” ([12:34])

2. Hostility and Culture in College Football Towns

• Insights into the passionate, "ravenous" fan cultures in SEC towns (Norman, Austin, Tuscaloosa, etc.) ([20:11]).
• Johnny describes what it's like to play in Oklahoma:

  “Their benches are really close to the sideline… they’ll tell you some [expletive] over there on your sideline.” ([19:48])

• Discussion about the unique pressure and tradition in these environments and why SEC football is a beast of its own.

3. Colorado’s Quarterback Carousel – Third Stringer Saves the Day

• Coach Prime (Deion Sanders) benched both the starter and backup, turning to third-string QB Ryan Staub, who went 7-of-10 for 157 yards and 2 TDs ([25:05]).
• Prime’s approach: give each QB two series, let “the cream rise to the top.”
• Johnny praises Prime’s willingness to make bold moves:

  “He’s going to get a guy in that position that can do what needs to be done for the overall collective of the team.” ([25:45])

• Ocho agrees:

  “There are certain throws that he has to make…to give yourself and your team the best chance to win. What we saw today was not it.” ([27:12])

• All concur that against Delaware, an FCS (now FBS) opponent, the starter should never need to be benched for spark ([28:49]).
• Shannon highlights the lopsided nature of these early-season “guarantee” games and calls for HBCUs to stop scheduling big-money, morale-crushing matchups:

  “They have no right, no business being on the school…to go out there and get beat 77-0… What is that doing?” ([30:23])

4. Florida’s Stunning Loss to South Florida & the Decline of In-State Powerhouses

• Florida loses to USF 18-16, another blow to program pride.
• Ocho mourns the decline of Florida’s blueblood status:

  “When I think about Florida teams…from a competitive level, no matter who you playing every week, you got some dogs coming out of here.” ([46:13])

• Shannon points out the brain drain of elite Florida recruits going out-of-state:

  “You see what happens when you keep letting your best in-state players leave…” ([46:51])

• Johnny highlights USF QB Byron Brown's standout game:

  “Mad props, mad respect… Played really well against the obviously team in the country.” ([51:18])

• Florida’s lack of discipline: over 100 penalty yards, key turnover, and even a player ejected for spitting on an opponent.

5. Spitting Incidents – Aggression and Disrespect in College Football

• Discussion of a Florida DT’s ejection for spitting, with Johnny recounting a personal story of being spit on during a game:

  “For the rest of my life, [I] will never forget that, ever.” ([56:00])

• Shannon and Ocho concur that spitting is “crossing the line” and the consequences should be severe:

  “If you spit on somebody, whatever they do to you after that, I’m cool with.” ([56:23])

6. Quick Hits & Memorable Moments

• Baylor vs. SMU: Shout-out for the game of the week, an OT shootout—“If you like points…4845. That’s what people come to the ball game to see.” ([59:29])
• Syracuse Head Coach Makes Players Run Sprints After Win: Discussion on “old school” discipline, reminiscences of high school/pee-wee punishment, and how it drives lessons home ([61:25]).
• HBCUs and Guarantee Games: Shannon’s passionate riff about “winning the Powerball” just to subsidize historically Black colleges so they avoid demoralizing blowouts against Power 5 teams ([30:23] and [73:21]).
• Powerball Fantasies: Hilarious segment on what they’d do with $1.7 billion—Johnny:

  “To be honest, you probably ain’t never gonna see me again… I’ma drop off a duffel bag.” ([69:34])
  Ocho:
  “I'm gonna be the only billionaire still flying Spirit, seat exit row 13A.” ([71:03])

  “I want to win the Powerball for so simple reason…no HBCU will play a Power 5 school… not gonna get beat and embarrassed.” ([30:23])

Oh, you really needed this considering the back to Back years of six and seven, I thought Michigan played, played really well. Look, they got a really young quarterback. He just turned 18 years old, Ocho, two weeks ago. I think in the years to come, he'll be good, but he looked like an 18 year old guy starting in a very hostile environment. Missed some throws, took his eye from downfield. And looking at their schedule, if, oh, if, if, if. Excuse me, if Oklahoma, Johnny, if they can go, if they can only lose two games with this schedule, they got Texas at South Carolina, they got Ole Miss at Tennessee, at Alabama, and they get LSU coming in. If they can only lose one or two of those games, they're going to the College Football Playoff. With that, with that schedule already beating Michigan and you still got number, you got number seven, Texas, number 10, South Carolina, number 20, Ole Miss, number 22, Tennessee, and number 21, Alabama, and number three, LSU. Ocho, they lose one or two of those games, guys, I believe they're gonna make the college football playoffs.

[Chad Johnson]

Yes.

[Shannon Sharpe]

What you thinking, Johnny?

[Johnny Manziel]

I mean, it's all right there in front of you. You got to go through the golf.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You gotta run it. You gotta run it.

[Johnny Manziel]

Yeah, yourself. Look, you said it yourself. Ranked opponent, ranked opponent, ranked opponent, all coming up through your own conference. So great test tonight. You play a team that historically, traditionally very, very good. They did what they needed to do. I wouldn't say it was anything too. Yeah, out of the box, over the top, great. But in these type of situations, these type of games, you got to go out and find a way to win, win. And then you're going to get into a run that, that starts in the sec that's going to be like your backs against the wall. We got to come out and play. But if you go with two losses throughout this whole schedule and the way it looks right now on paper, get them in the playoffs.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Before you go, Ocho, think about this. October 11th, they got Texas, the Red river rivalry. The next week they're at South Carolina. The next week they get Ole Miss. The next week they're at Tennessee. The next week they're at Alabama. The next week they get Missouri at home. And the following week they get LSU at home. So you got Texas, South Carolina, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Alabama and lsu. So six of the seven opponents that they face on are ranked. And they're all in consecutive weeks. Yes. Looking at Michigan, like I said, Bryce Underwood, 9 of 24, 142 yards, he's 18 years of age. He looked. 18 years of age. He looked like a guy that's just out of high school starting for a top ranked team on the road in a hostile environment. And Brett Venable has made much, much more accomplished quarterbacks. Juniors and seniors look bad. So I'm not surprised that he did this to Bryce Underwood. But Michigan has a very, very favorable schedule. Schedule. They get Central Michigan at Nebraska, Wisconsin at home at usc, Washington at home, Michigan State on the road, Purdue, Northwestern, Maryland, and then they get Ohio State at home. So they have a very favorable schedule. I thought Michigan has some opportunities in this game. They got a face mask, they gave him a first down late in the ball game. Learn them, burn more time off the clock. But oo looking at this game, looking at Michigan, do you like what you see with Michigan? You think they can be a contending team?

[Chad Johnson]

I, I, I like what I saw from Michigan. Obviously they've always been a running team. I would have liked the coach to done something different. Even though you have a freshman quarterback, if you see that the running game isn't working, lean on your quarterback to be able to make some other plays. Maybe outside of the pocket, rolling them route playing to restraints a little bit more to give him a little bit more comfortable. The Oklahoma defense was very good.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Huh?

[Chad Johnson]

They were very good. So you have to be able to counter that and make the necessary adjustments to give your team and quarterback the best chance offensively to get you in the game. Because what you were trying to do wasn't working, especially the running game. And they continue to stay with the same thing because I felt the coach felt, listen, we're handicapped in a sense where we can't really open the playbook as much as we want because, because of what you just said, having a rookie quarterback and there's only so much we can do.

[Shannon Sharpe]

The thing that I didn't like about what I saw from Michigan, Johnny and Ocho, let me know what you think is that they running them slow, developing ass pulling plays and the backside in chasing it down. I'm like bro, you can't, you cannot run that against these teams because they're going to chase it, they're going to chase it down every time. I mean they were stopping the guy in the backfield for two to three yard losses every time. Y.

[Johnny Manziel]

You gotta hit some of those quicker, quicker hitting quicker inside zone, just like get on the ball, get some movement, get going, anything. When that starts to happen, you're dragging ass. You, you play with no, no sense of urgency. Sense of urgency, no pace.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I, I, I agree. I, I, I, I just think oo and you said you want to See more. They were pretty balanced. OO 24 passes, 32 rush attempts. And the thing that you want to do, you want to try to protect the OO For a guy that's a dual threat quarterback. He was the number one, number one recruit in the country. I have you been noticing a lot of these dual threat quarterbacks don't throw well on the move. Well, if you can't throw well on the move, it's going to be very difficult for you to beat these teams. And we saw this today with Colorado and we will probably talk about this a little later. They ended up going to their third string quarterback because Salter can't throw on the move. I'm like these throws are routine bro. You've got to hit some of them. I'm not saying you got to be 10 for 10, but damn, you can't be over 10.

[Chad Johnson]

Right, right, right, right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But no, I'm saying you said you wanted them to throw the ball more. Oh, dude was 9 or 24, I can see. Oh, if he was 15 to 24, he was 16 or 24. He died at 24. Do you know how bad that is? That's not even 50%. What's 9 to 24? 45%, 42%.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah, I, I, I, I actually do know how bad it is. That's why I was saying make it make him a little bit more comfortable. Do some of the things predicated to his skill set. If you have a dual threat quarterback and he's not really that good, dropping back in the pocket and being able to see things and processing information from the traditional spot. Roll his ass out so he has it so he has a good eyeline so he can see what's in front of him. So we can make the necessary throws where he doesn't have to sit there and read a defense.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You do realize that when you roll a quarterback out, you take it. So basically you removed half the field.

[Chad Johnson]

You remove half the field. You have to. Because he's not able to play. He's not able to play. Seeing the whole.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But in the process of doing that we just said he don't look very accurate on the move. So we put him on the move to do what?

[Johnny Manziel]

Yo, just get one of those plays with a little handoff and come out where you just come out is so wide open you just can hand it to the.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's what put a bow on it. Whipped cream and we're Johnny A something.

[Johnny Manziel]

Just get a little bit of like you gotta give him something. When you get into an Offense like that, I don't care if you're, you know, a high school guy that's just coming in, when you open that playbook up and you see it for the first time, you're like, yo, I like stick, I like slants, whatever you like. There's something where the ball gets snapped to you in your hands and you catch it and you immediately, based off instinct, based off everything you've done playing football, you're gonna whiz that thing out there and you know you can get a completion. So in that situation with a guy starting like that, in this type of game, you have to put him in situations and play calls that allow him to do that to where it's no thought, no read, just bang.

[Chad Johnson]

Instant. And the funny thing about it too, when you get up, when you get a quarterback, that's that young freshman, 18, 17, however he might be playing against a team like Oklahoma that's ranked with players that are very, very good defensively in all three phases, whether it be the front second line or the back line. You want to get him in rhythm, you want to get him in rhythm early. You want to build his confidence early.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I'm not going to let him get in the rhythm. I'm not going to let him get in the rhythm. He's 18, so what am I going to do? I'm going to heat his ass up. I'm going turn, I'm going to put him on the stove and I'm going start. I'm going start. From the moment he on the stove, I'm boiling. I'm not, I'm not going to let him get in the rhythm because I know that's what look, they want to establish the run, we are going to stop the run. We are going to make this 18 year old beat us on the road. They there haven't been very many 18 year old college freshman quarterbacks that's ever been able to go on the road in a hostile environment like in an SEC game, in win on the road. I'm not going to let you, I'm not going to let you get him comfortable. Oo because I'm not going to let you run the ball. Because now if you run the ball you can play action, pass off of it. I am going to heat his ass up. You got to. And Johnny, you know that. Even you saw what they tried to do to you. What you did is that you punished Alabama every time they brought the blitz. You made them pay for it cause you was coming out the backside. Hey, you make that first guy miss and you like, okay, you done miss now. So I got at least 15 yards before everybody, the crowd start yelling and screaming and people get their heads back around to see me. I'm chasing the wide receiver. I ain't gonna throw him the ball. So when you got an 18, when you got an 18 year old true freshman playing at Oklahoma, and the way Brent Venables can get after you, you know, he's a pressure dc. That's what he's always been, that's what he's always gonna be. He ain't letting no 18 year old get comfortable.

[Johnny Manziel]

The thing about that is, like when the kitchen gets hot and the pans are flaming and bursting around and there's fireworks going off and in the kitchen and you're in the pocket, I, I love that. Like, that's where my, like best, that's where my best football decided to come out and be played off of natural instinct. So of course, Venables being a guy who played against him, they did it to us when we were at Texas A and M. Didn't work for them. Nevertheless, you get a kid like this, I had a red shirt year under my belt. This is a guy coming straight, fresh out, lot of hype lot. Now we're in there a lot of money, lot, lot of, like, there's heavy, heavy weight behind what this kid's coming into. So all in all, as a program for Michigan, I still think they're going to be set up. I do too, in the future. But, but, but for a night like tonight, like, listen, you're playing an OU team. This is legacy history, a good program and one that didn't have the year they wanted to have last year. They're coming for some, they're, they're coming to play some ball.

[Shannon Sharpe]

They are. And Brent Venable knows his job is on the table. He gave a little money back to say, okay, look, I'm, I'm bought in. He understands it. Six and seven is not good enough at ou. It's not. That's, that's a very proud, historic program. They've won national championships. They have as many Heisman Trophy winners as anybody in the country. And that's a proud university. And six and seven ain't gonna cut it. Not at that university, not in the SEC, not in the big eight, not in the big 12, not in any conference they've ever been in. Oklahoma wants to be at the top of that pyramid. When you look up there and you see the Alabamas, you see the Ohio states and you see all Those great universities, Oklahoma pride themselves on being that they played for national championship. They've been in that game, they won that. They have great coaches. You look at the coaches that they've had for Barry Bud Wilkinson, rest his soul. 57 game winning streak, three national championships. You got Barrett Switzer, who, who started the wishbone. You got a Bob Stoops. They ain't accepting anything less than that. Johnny.

[Johnny Manziel]

Hey, Norman's not an easy place to walk into and play too.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Nope.

[Johnny Manziel]

We, we, we went there my red shirt year and I was on the bench. Their benches are really close to the sideline, people in the front row. I don't know if you've been down to Oklahoma, but.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No, I haven't, I haven't been.

[Johnny Manziel]

They'll tell you some over there, they, they'll say some over there on your sideline. Being a redshirt freshman that first year, you're kind of seeing all these games and all these places. You know, Norman was a place where if you ain't really walked into a lot of stadiums before and you're sitting there and that they're really close to you, they're on your head all night. So I know he felt it tonight for sure.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And the thing is, look, they weren't always in the sec. But the one thing we know about SEC football, those fans are ravenous. And it fits. I mean Oklahoma and Texas, it fits because their fan base is ravenous. We. What else are you going to do in Norman, Oklahoma, besides go watch a college football game? What else are you going to do in Austin, Texas besides go watch a college football town? Those are college football towns. So if Tuscaloosa and Birmingham, Alabama, so is Knoxville, Tennessee, so is Starkville and all those other. You go back and look at it in the sec, every team that plays in the SEC where their school is situated on, the only thing they have is college football. Now you can drive down if you, the university, Athens is, you know, 90 is like an hour, hour and 15 minute drive to which. But that is a college town. So is Columbia, South Carolina. So when you look at all these schools, those fan bases, that's the South. Football rules the South. I'll give a damn what you bring down there. You could bring, hey, you could bring the Yankees. They not going to outdraw a college football team. It's just the way it is. And to ask him to go into this environment, I now, I do think Johnny, next year, this time he'll be better equipped.

[Chad Johnson]

He'll be all right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Offense stall, Coach Bryan skipped over his backup Julian Lewis, turned to third string Ryan Staub and instead Star went 7 to 10, 157 two touchdowns after taking over starter Kane Salter. Coach Prime's explanation after the game I wanted it to tell its own story. Instead of me telling the story, I wanted it to tell its own story. The plan was going to be each quarterback gets two series a piece. They did and somebody was going to come out of the pack. Johnny I I it's, it's not normal that we see something like this. But are you surprised that Coach prime did this and can he continue or has he found his starting quarterback?

[Johnny Manziel]

Listen, I think the one thing that you, we us collectively obviously know about prime is he's going to get a guy in that position that can do what needs to be done for the overall collective of the team. Whether it's X, Y or fucking Z, somebody's going to get on that field and do what we need to do to move the ball down the field and get this offense going and he's going to oversee the whole thing. That's the one thing about it. So hey, you're not getting it done. It's early in the season. We're in week one, two, three. You're early. Yeah, get your reps because how much can you really tell from training camp? How much can you really tell from spring ball when they blow the whistle and the sacks and the rah rah bullshit that goes on in practice, what can you really tell?

[Shannon Sharpe]

So get out there.

[Johnny Manziel]

Live bullets are firing. That's, that's you come out, you play what we say last week.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, that's what I think. That's what Coach prime look the cream going to rise to the top. And so I wanted, I wanted to see and like I said, Cadence Salter, Coach prime say he's a dual threat and really a dual threat. He can move. He's but bro, he misses entirely too many throws. Ocho. Oh, I'm talking about I'm talking about guys wide open and I'm not talking about. Look, I'm not talking about no difficult throws. These are throws a guy of his caliber should be able to make routinely. Yes, go ahead. Oo.

[Chad Johnson]

No, I, I was gonna say, obviously with prime, especially in this situation. I don't care who you playing. I don't care if you playing the Sisters of the North. I don't care if you playing the Holy Spirit. There are certain throws that he has to make. Being in. Start being the starting quarterback. For one, you're playing for Coach Prime. Two, you playing for Colorado. Three, you have to understand that everything you do, being the face of that team now, especially being a quarterback, you have to do everything the right way to give yourself and your team the best chance to win. What we saw today was not it. That was not it. I have a question for you too, and YouTube.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Who were they playing?

[Chad Johnson]

Who was Colorado playing?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Delaware.

[Chad Johnson]

There should be no reason, no disrespect to Delaware. There should be no reason that, that the coach has to go to another player.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You can't go to the third street.

[Chad Johnson]

Quarterback at the most important position on the field.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I agree.

[Chad Johnson]

There's no reason.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I agree.

[Johnny Manziel]

Hey, we're gonna find somebody. We're gonna find somebody. If you ain't come out of stands. Come on, you can throw this, you can throw the pigs.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Again.

[Johnny Manziel]

Come on, come on.

[Chad Johnson]

Again, Johnny.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Again.

[Chad Johnson]

Delaware. Come on. Now. This is the game you're supposed to be. Your confidence, this is the game you're supposed to put up big numbers, big yards to be a confidence going up into, into week three.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, it's supposed to be a game. Utah beat Cal Poly 63. 9. Texas Tech beat Kent State 62. 14. Indiana beat Kennesaw State 56. 9. Tennessee beat East Tennessee State 72. 17. Alabama beat Louisiana Monroe 73. Nothing. That's what's supposed to happen with CU today versus Delaware.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah, that's why you schedule those type of games.

[Johnny Manziel]

We've had those, we've had those games before. Sometimes when you play opponents like that, though at times, and, and you know what you're supposed to do and it's pre planned and pre rolled for you to go out and do it sometimes. It's something in the air, something makes it a little bit different where you overlook it or you, he's not on your P's and Q's to the best of your ability and you can let it slip a little bit. And that's what happened today because, you know, you look at the Score. And what it is, they're still. You're still in the water, feeling around, trying to get your footing a little bit. For sure is where that team is at right now.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Even. Even if we first of all the third string quarterback plays because we're up 50 to nothing. That's why he plays. We don't bring the third string quarterback in Johnny, to give us a spark. I can honestly say this, I've never seen this before. And that I think, if I'm not mistaken, I think. Isn't Delaware an FCS or they division. Division one. I think they're FCS now. Subdivision, whatever the subdivision, whatever they call it. I'm not trying to be disrespectful, but I think that's what Delaware. That's what Delaware is.

[Johnny Manziel]

Hey, they gotta check Shannon. They gotta check from that school.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh yeah, you gotta. You got. You gotta. They probably played them a meal. Meal. A meal too.

[Chad Johnson]

Hey, hey, I have a question too. When it comes to the. The schools like this, where's the Power 5 playing? The smaller schools and. And the small schools get that check. Does it go strictly to the athletic department only?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

Okay. But I'm just curious.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Look, there's some schools that. Look, I just. I, I w. You know what? OO I want to win the Powerball for so simple reason in 2026 and 2027, no HBCU will pay a Power 5 school. I'm not. You're not going to get beat. Embarrassed to get 500,000 or a million dollars. I'm gonna give you a million five. I'm gonna give you $2 million. I'm gonna give. I'm gonna give each of you guys 2. $2 million not to schedule these. Cuz get cuz. Cuz what it's doing OO is not helping the club. I understand it's helping your athletic budget but you're getting your kids embarrassed. They don't, they don't have. They have no right. No business being on the school, being on the field with those guys to go out there and get beat 77. Nothing to get beat 70 to 3. What is that doing?

[Chad Johnson]

Okay, who. That was Florida State today, right? Florida state beat somebody 77.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes.

[Chad Johnson]

And that's. Ah, man.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay. This is Delaware's first year. Delaware is FBS now, guys. Fbs.

[Chad Johnson]

Okay.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. You shouldn't. You look and I understand. Look. I mean, hey, Oklahoma State got a check And Oregon put 69 on them. But you know, Bethune, Cookman, Savannah State, Grambling, when you go play Ohio State, Ocho Bethune in Ohio State. Really? You? Really? Yeah. I mean, I don't even know. They probably took it off because a lot of what they had started doing was taking them. Taking them off the board. We're not gonna even bet this game. Savannah State, going a couple years ago, playing Oklahoma State and getting beat 77, nothing. They play Miami, get beat 84. What is that? And you get that. And you get that. Guess what? Now they give you 500,000, 700,000. Hey, you got to bring your band, cuz they. You. Your travel is. You got to pay for your own travel out of the money that. Oh, hell, no, man. Cuz that's why I want to win the lottery. I want to win the lottery because I want to give every historically black institution. I said, I'm giving y' all $2 million not to take these damn games and get your players embarrass because it does nothing for them. But all it does is make these schools that's playing you. They're alumni. Like, oh, we beat such and such. Come on, man. Come on.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah, but obviously, you know what? You know, the funny thing about it, too, is those games has to be scheduled. Those games have to be scheduled for a reason, because there's no other. There's no other place for that money to come to. Revenue is not flowing through HBCU programs.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No, I know it's not.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah, no, that's what they look forward to, these games scheduled against Power 5 schools, because a huge chunk that. That can help the program, whether it be academic or athletic.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Let me ask you a question. You want to sponsor. You want to be. You want to attach yourself to somebody got beat 77, nothing. 84 to nothing. I'm just asking.

[Chad Johnson]

I mean, you got to think, fam. FAMU always has to play university. Famu. I mean, we ain't won the Powerball yet. We ain't won the mega millions yet.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I think the thing is.

[Johnny Manziel]

Look, I don't put that in there. We won that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I think. I think. I think the thing is, Ocho, is that it's the same thing that prime ran into at Jackson State. 60,000 people in the stands, and everybody bought tickets, and all of a sudden, we only raised 20,000. That's. That's. That's. That's the issue, right? Like I said, we gonna win the Powerball, and I'm gonna fix this. I. I can't. I can't fix it forever, but I will fix it for two years, Ocho.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah, you're right. You're right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I'mma fix it. I'mma fix it for two years. You got who? Hey, Famu. Don't even worry about it. You can take your Miami off the schedule. Here's 2 million. Stay home right? Schedule. Somebody go play Savannah State. Go play. Edward Water. Go play. Get your girlfriend something for sure. You know what I'm saying? Ocho, we're going to start our own bowl. We're going to have a nightcap bowl. We have a nightcap. Hold on, hold on.

[Chad Johnson]

You just, you just, you just, you just. Come on. You, you got my brain thinking that what we talking about? Savannah State vs. We have us a nightcap bowl.

[Shannon Sharpe]

We have a nightcap bowl. Club Shay. Shay bowl. So that's two games right now. Hey, get a bit. I'll pay y' all guys a million dollars to come play the cup to play in the club. Sh. Sh. Bowl and, and the nightcap bowl. But I like that. I'm for real. But going back to this game, I mean, you need your third stringer to give you a spark against Delaware at home.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Now to me, stop. Look better. He looked better today than Salter did at any point in time, the first game or today. He looked better in the little bit that the, the, the, the, the Tim reps. I mean, he came in. Look, he was, he was, he was, he was great. Ain't no way around it. He was great. And I was surprised that coach put, put Salter back in the game. Go ahead, Ocho.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah, well, I, I, I. You know why he put him back in the game? His confidence. He put him back in the game simply for his confidence, because he feels he is quarterback number one. There's a, there's a reason he had to put him back in the game. Okay, you know what, son? You didn't play well in the beginning of the game. I had to go to quarterback two and three. So we can get a little spark, so we get a little bit, a little bit momentum and consistency. But this is your job. I'm going to allow you to go back in so you can prove yourself, so you can get a better understanding on what I need out of you. This is what I need out of you. Without. With other. Well, not two. What number three was able to come in and do. That's what I need. That's why he put him back in the game, because he still feels he's a quarterback. To continue to lead them down next week, week three, week four, and so on. And if he plays bad again and not able to do the routine things, the routine things that quarterbacks should be able to do with the goddamn eyes closed. You coming out the game and the next time you take him out, he ain't going back in. No, I'm just being honest from a coaching standpoint and from a player who's played the game, if you take you out twice, you're not going back in.

[Shannon Sharpe]

The game because you know if you do what you're supposed to. I ain't even, I ain't even looking this, I ain't even looking at stuff.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I ain't even looking to put nobody else in there. Hey, go and handle that. I know you got this taken care of. So what, what you think? What? Tell me Johnny, what you think in a situation like that. Let's just say for the sake of argument, this, you Johnny, this is before. Obviously if you Johnny Football, that ain't gonna happen. But just say before you became Johnny Football, you Johnny, you the starter and then coach pulls you out and, and you see the, either the backup or the third stringer comes in there and he drives them down there and he, those two guys, that one of those guys look better leading the team than you did. What's going through your mind?

[Johnny Manziel]

Yeah, I, I think the one thing about college athletics is when you get in, you come in together and you get in that quarterback room. There was no, at least in my situation, there was no animosity between the one, the two, the three, the four and the Walker. We were tight knit, we were really close. So I, I got hurt against Auburn. I had to go down below the stadium, get a shot to try and come back. Matt Joel came on the field, led us on a couple drives like I think for our morale and our situation, like. And in this one, currently you want to have a great QB room, not one that's pins and needles and really kind of going at each other. Oh man, you're not thinking your head, oh, am I going to get the play? Is this my chance? This, this. You have so much stuff that could be going through your mind. You want to have great camaraderie, great, you know, cohesiveness between your quarterback room where, hey listen, we are the guys. Four, five, six guys, whatever it may be in this quarterback room that makes this whole ship run. We have to be together. So if it's Salter, we need you to go. If you're going and you're taking us down, you're driving us amazing. We need that. And eventually this self, this will play itself out in a way to where everybody on the team, the o Lineman, the left tackle, whatever it may be, rallies behind the guy because they see that little spark and they will rally behind him and it will present itself and they will. It's just like a horse. You gotta tie up with somebody so they'll find somebody. And in this little early season moment, you'll look back at it and be like, okay, trying to find our footing now. We latched on. We go.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, next week, what do we see? Salters. So it still is still the stairs. Still is the same. One, two and three stays the same.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah, absolutely. Salta salsa starting next week. Matter of fact, this, this, this is gonna tell you, it's gonna tell you the whole story.

[Shannon Sharpe]

They do, they play Houston on Friday night.

[Chad Johnson]

Houston. Houston, not that bad, huh?

[Johnny Manziel]

That's gonna be a test.

[Chad Johnson]

Houston, not that bad. So now, now you get, now you get to see if he goes out there and he plays bad and he puts the team in, in uncomfortable positions where they, where they don't have a chance to win or things aren't. Aren't going right offensively. Prime is gonna make that change. He's going to make that change again and he's going to make it a lot sooner. He gonna make it a lot sooner this time.

[Johnny Manziel]

It starts on Monday, right? It starts on that first week of practice. Setting the tone, getting ready, getting right. Like you gotta, you know what it is. You saw it play itself out. You, you're sitting there on the sideline as you're not playing, you're watching the team go down. You. That gives you a sense of urgency. That's a kick in the ass that you need. So when Monday comes around and they run out the ones for the team, period, you're up. You better latch onto that. Take that practice week really, really, really serious.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Johnny Manziel]

And get ready to go. Because Houston's not just gonna roll.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No. And I think the thing that I love about that prime did is that look. He's like, bro, I understand how this look and how this might upset you and your feelings, but right now I'm trying to win a football game.

[Johnny Manziel]

Feelings don't win football games. Huh?

[Shannon Sharpe]

They don't. No, they don't. And, and prime understands that playing at the, playing at the level, coaching at that level. He understands. He's been a coach, he's coach high school football, Jackson State, now cu. He understands. And a lot of times, sometimes coaches are afraid to, to hurt the, the starter's feelings, and sometimes they stay longer with that guy than maybe they should. I, I want to give a, a coach some credit for going to make this decision because it, I promise you, it wasn't an easy decision.

[Chad Johnson]

Well, I, I know one thing. The Colorado Buffalo lose. You know who gets, you know who gets the bulk of the, the bulk of the bulk of the hate? The head coach. They not gonna be, they not gonna be talking about the quarterback. Coach Prime f to be in the news. Coach prime is gonna be in the media. So making that, that decision at the quarterback position and, and make it a move to one that can give us a better chance to win. It's easy because of the bull drive he got to deal with if they do lose.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So it's gonna be, it's gonna be a very interesting situation moving forward. We'll see how they, how, how this thing plays out. But Johnny, like you said, hey, they'll still this Monday leading into the week, things could change. But I agree with both of you guys. I think Salter stays the starter. But I don't think this thing, I think this thing is written in pencil. It's not, it's not written in, in. In Sharpie. It's not written in permanent ink. They all raise a thing looking for excitement.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Florida inexplicably loses to University of Southern Florida, 1816. This is the second week they went on the road. I think they went on the road last week and they beat Boise State. Number 25 Boise State. They come home and they in state. They go down to Gainesville and they beat Florida. Man, Billy Napier. Johnny, what happened? Go ahead, Ocho.

[Chad Johnson]

Go ahead.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Go ahead.

[Chad Johnson]

I was just gonna ask you, Johnny, Johnny, what happened to the Florida that I love? What happened to the Florida that I love?

[Shannon Sharpe]

He ain't opening that wide. Johnny. No, Johnny. He do he open it like this here. I know you. Hey, hey. You either gator. Gator bait now. People eating gator tail. They eating gator now.

[Chad Johnson]

I, I don't, I don't, I don't understand what happened. When I think about the Florida teams, especially collegiate of the 90s and the 2000s, the early 2000s were Florida, Miami and Florida State. Where the schools to be and be at, especially from a competitive level, no matter who you playing every week, you got some dogs coming out of here regardless of what.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Where's Jeremiah Smith? Where is he from?

[Chad Johnson]

Oh, he from.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay, the Williams kid that's at Alabama, where is he from? Florida, right?

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Where is he at? He's at Alabama, right? You see what happens when you keep letting your in state, your best in state players leave now, you got to think about it. It's Miami, it's Florida, it's Florida State. If you could just recruit the state of Florida, you'll be fine. But you can't keep them now because you got Ohio State, you got Alabama, you got Tennessee, you got other, you got other big teams that's willing to pay to get those kids. So where they got Tim Tebows and they got the Percy Harvins and they got the Channing Cross. Hey, they got the Joe Hayden, those guys. Bye bye. Because guess what, Like I said, Ocho, they're no longer competing for national titles. I'm going to Alabama. I'm going to Georgia, I'm going to Ohio State, I'm going to Michigan. I'm going to. Where they go compete for titles. They're not competing for titles. They're not close in Florida.

[Chad Johnson]

Now listen to how we just started this segment 20 years ago. Hell, 10 years ago, you wouldn't believe it. University of South Florida Beach, Florida.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I wouldn't have believed it.

[Chad Johnson]

Nobody believed. Ain't nobody believing that. Nobody believe in that. My, how the times have changed. But congratulations to University of South Florida.

[Shannon Sharpe]

What you thinking, Johnny?

[Johnny Manziel]

Man, I'm thinking, you know, a lot, a lot of hype around DJ Lagway, around this team, around this like Florida will always be Florida because of what they have done in the past. You know, watching A and M football over the years, seeing we had a slip up a couple years ago, Appalachian State came in early in the season and beat us. As I'm sitting there on Twitter, I'm egg on my face every corner of the world, like so it happens, you can be walking down the street, somebody come up and slap you on the back side of the head, catch you slipping a little bit. But this mentality in this way the program is being run right now. As far as, as a whole, I, I think anybody that, that wears the Florida colors, my boys, Joaquim, no. Chandler Parsons, Joe Hayden, all these die hard Gator boys. Yeah, you did because this is. This is a tough pill to swallow tonight.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. That's not Ocho. That's not the you. That's not fsu. That's not Florida. That's not lsu. That's not tennis.

[Johnny Manziel]

That's the Bulls, baby.

[Chad Johnson]

Whoa, whoa, wait, wait, wait a minute. Hold on, hold on. What you mean it's not the year?

[Shannon Sharpe]

No, I'm saying that's not the team that beat you. That's South Florida. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what I'm saying.

[Chad Johnson]

I see. I got you. I got you. I got you.

[Johnny Manziel]

Got.

[Chad Johnson]

But I'm expecting. I'm expecting Florida. Have you seen Florida State the past two weeks? Have you seen the University of Miami.

[Shannon Sharpe]

The past two weeks?

[Chad Johnson]

Well, what the hell is going on down. Right down the street in Gainesville? At some point you should be improving too, just like everyone else or your two other sister schools that aren't too far away from you. How are you regressing as a program and losing to University of South Florida? That's no disrespect to them, but it's just not supposed to happen.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I want to stand correct that Ryan Williams is from Alabama. He's an in state kid that stayed in state. He and Jeremiah Smith was thinking about going to Ohio State together and he wanted. He wanted Jeremiah Smith to come to Alabama. Jeremiah Smith wanted him to come to Ohio State. He stayed in state. Jeremiah Smith. But you go back and look at. You look at. They let the guy that just retired from the Raiders, South Florida kid, Calvin Ridley. South Florida kid. Jerry Judy, South Florida kid. Yep.

[Chad Johnson]

They all from the bottom. Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You see, they let all. That's. You know, Florida used to have receivers. Now the one thing they did have, they had receivers.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah, yeah. Back to back.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Anthony Caldwell, they had receivers. Ike Hilliard, they used to have receivers out the yin yang. They had running backs out the yin yang.

[Johnny Manziel]

Fred, Fred.

[Chad Johnson]

Another one.

[Johnny Manziel]

Speaking on this game still too. Byron Brown, USF 23 at 36, 263 and a tutty. Add a little 66 on the ground, we're going to go for over 300 going into Florida's play. Case, man, mad props, mad respect. Go in and have a game like that. Played really well against the obviously team in the country.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You're right. Yeah.

[Johnny Manziel]

You got to give them some love, man.

[Chad Johnson]

That's a.

[Johnny Manziel]

That's a hell of a game.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Good.

[Johnny Manziel]

Props to the young man.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You're absolutely. Oh, here it is right here. The U.S. u. S. USF and, and Florida. I mean this. You paid them. They probably Got a good. They got a cool million. That'd be like, hey, oo, that'd be like paying somebody $500 to slap hell out you. Nah, hell no. You paid this team a million dollar to come down there and put foots in you. These are the type of teams that Florida schedule for 500.

[Johnny Manziel]

Let me smack the top of that head, baby.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I'm like, man, come on. Hey, hey, Johnny. Oo, man, y' all know, hey, at a big school, hey, we are. When you put something, when you schedule that, obviously it's not a homecoming game, but when you schedule somebody for homecoming, you're supposed to win. You got all this alumni coming back. The students that don't even normally go to games, they're going to come to the game, they want to see a dog. I guarantee you, when they put us USF on the schedule, they're like, oh yeah, this, this is dub for us. This is a dude.

[Chad Johnson]

They probably, they probably checked it off soon as they saw the schedule. As soon as they saw the schedule. There's certain teams that you look at, oh, we got this.

[Shannon Sharpe]

This ain't nothing but what, no turnover. South Florida didn't turn it over, so. And they took them all away from Langway once. 31 for 143. Langway was 23 of 33, 222, so he didn't play bad. But they had two. South Florida had 263 passing another 128 on the ground.

[Johnny Manziel]

Two things that jumped off to me, you lose the turnover battle, even though it's plus one or minus one, whatever you want to call it. And penalties. I mean 103 yards and penalties too. So two things in a game like that, that comes down to be, you know, three scores for each team. Ish. You know, turnovers and penalties come down to be. To be a lot of, of. Of the nitty gritty of what it comes down to.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Neither team was really great. On third down, South Florida was 6 of 16. The Gators were 4 12. Nothing to write home about. The, the Gators possessed the ball almost nine more minutes. But like you said, Johnny, the great equalizer are penalties. So when you have what, 28 more yard, two more and 28 more yards and penalties, you bring a team that maybe you're better than, you bring them up to your level or you creep down to their level and South Florida goes in there and that, that's, that's great for their program. So guys looking like, hey, we play Florida's and guess what? We beat them. So Just cause you go to. Hey, just cause you go down there, that don't mean you're going to win. You can stay right here with the Bulls and we got that. But from this game, Florida's defensive tackle Brendan Bet was ejected for spitting in the face of an opponent in the final drive of the upset loss to usf. Bats been in the face of South Florida offensive lineman Cole Skinner Ocho. When is this a new. Is this a new thing? Maybe they were doing it on show and we didn't have the cameras around to be able to see it. But what, what is. We just saw this Thursday night and I'm sure he saw it. It's been everywhere. So everybody's seen it by now. He turned, he's been in the guy face.

[Chad Johnson]

I don't understand. Listen, knowing that cameras were out there, coaches can see you. There's a camera at every angle. There's a camera in the sky, there's a camera on the sideline, there's a camera in the north and south end zone. You can't get away with nothing. You can't get away with anything. The referees out there. So I'm not sure. How angry, how angry are you getting? Listen, South Florida whooped them up and down the field all night long. So there's the frustration. There's the frustration where it, it boils.

[Johnny Manziel]

Over to that point, man, I got a good story. My, my first start sec, we played Arkansas. We played them at home. It was one of these raining, torrential downpour games. We're kicking the out of them at halftime. We come out in the second half, run the ball, I get tackled, Big pile, mash up, bottom of the pile. This dude, I hear him too.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, come on, Johnny.

[Johnny Manziel]

Did it spit through my face mask? All over my face.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Ah.

[Johnny Manziel]

For the rest of my life, will never forget that, ever. I got up and just looked at old boy like. You're mad. You're big mad.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, Johnny.

[Johnny Manziel]

It happens. But to see it in the NFL game, no, it's plastered all over social media, everywhere. You're gonna come out and do it again like some people.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I'm gonna say this. If you spit on somebody, whatever they do to you after that, I'm cool with.

[Chad Johnson]

Right? But even on the field of play.

[Shannon Sharpe]

If, if you spit on, if you spit on someone on the football field, in the mall, walking down the street, whatever they do to you after you spit on them, I'm cool with.

[Chad Johnson]

Okay, I got you. I got you. I got you. And you know, you know what? I don't like too, for a player, any player that does spit, not the person that's receiving it, but the one who is responsible for doing the spitting. That stays with you forever.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Johnny Manziel]

Rest of my life, I'll be my 85 years old. I ain't never really what that felt like, what it smelled, all of it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's it.

[Chad Johnson]

And you know, you know it's going to affect, it's going to affect everything. Especially if he's a prospect too. Going to the draft, huh? Boy, they can remember that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And this is, I guess there's another defensive lineman from the University of Florida, Jamari Lyons. He was ejected for spitting on an opponent in 2023 during the game against Florida State. I, I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm.

[Chad Johnson]

You're perplexed.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I am right now because I just, I just can't, I just can't fathom. And I look, we've all been really, really mad. We've all been really, really upset. But I'm. The thing, the thing that's going through my mind is not to like spit on somebody because I'm saying whatever somebody does, look, I might not be able to control your actions, but I can control the consequences from your actions. So you get to control one or the other. You get to control the actions, someone else gets to control the consequences. If you spit on somebody on the football field, you spit on somebody again outside of the football field. Whatever that person does to you, I'm cool with.

[Chad Johnson]

Good with it.

[Johnny Manziel]

Yeah, no big one takeaway. Huge for this week. I thought my favorite game of the day that I watched all day, you guys tap into the Baylor SMU game.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I saw that. I saw.

[Chad Johnson]

Hey, hey, hey, hey. Johnny and my nephew, my nephew played for, play for smu. Romello Brunson.

[Johnny Manziel]

Okay, they, that was, I thought SMU had unbelievable 2 minute drive by Baylor. Shout out Jake Spavital, my guy, my old OC at Texas A M. Unbelievable 2 minute drive through a nice little seam route, little beater to, to take it into ot. Ot. Baylor goes down, scores first play from smu. Dot on a, on a fade ball right out of the gate. Couldn't get it in on the, on their second possession, but man, shout out to Baylor. That was a really, really good game. Me and KD were sitting out here in Paris locked into that game, watching, watching how it unfolded. So I think that was my favorite game of the weekend for sure.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Well, if you like points, if you like getting up and down the field, which, which most of us do because we're on the opposite side of the football. It's hard not to like that for the simple fact like you said 4845. So that's what people come to the ball game to see. They. They don't want to see all that. Oh, 1310 and 21, 20. Nah, I want to see some points and the more overtimes, the better. Yeah.

[Johnny Manziel]

If you want to see some funny, watch Iowa State try and score a touchdown with a minute and a half left on the clock in a football game. They don't know what the hell's going on when they have to throw that thing.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Bad. I was like, bad. This was a. I tried to pull the. I know. We got more. The Baylor smu. It was just up, but I hit it and something else came on.

[Johnny Manziel]

Sawyer Robertson. 30, 34, 50 for 440 and four.

[Shannon Sharpe]

See.

[Johnny Manziel]

Okay. Back to back weeks balling.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But you know what the Baylor. The thing I like first of all, SMU gonna put points on the board. Baylor's gonna put points on the board. He keeps doing that. That's what I did. No, he did the same thing. You hit Baylor and that was. Came. That's what came up. It's gonna be. It's like I said, I love. If you love points, watch a Baylor game because they gonna score and it's gonna be hard for them to prevent someone from scoring. So you go get. You go get. Probably a game that's gonna go late into the fourth quarter and it's probably going to be a field goal or touchdown game one way or the or the other. Syracuse head coach Fran Brown made his team run sprints after winning 2720 versus UConn. Ocho. Johnny, have you ever seen anything like this? Have you ever been a part of something like this?

[Chad Johnson]

I've seen something like that at the high school level. I see something like that. When I played Peewee, when I played for literacy, the optimist, or I played for Miami Lakes Optimus. You know when things aren't going well and I've never seen it happen after a game. It's always something that you do during practice or after practice or maybe you know what your teacher calls and tells your mama. Your grades ain't up to par, you've been getting in trouble in class, you disturbing your coach, put you through gases as punishment, suicides, whatever you want to call it. But after a game at the collegiate level. Nah, nah, nah. I've never seen anything like that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I wouldn't want my. I wouldn't want my Teacher to call my grandma and tell them nothing about my grade. Because my grandma gonna come up to school and tear your ass up. So that'll be work. I'd rather run gases then have my teacher tell me to run gases. Because I already know what happened if Mary Porter was gonna come up there. Ocho, I remember I told you the story, John. I told Ocho the story. We lost the game on a Saturday. And coach told us after the game, he said, since y' all ain't hitting nobody with y' all these uniforms, y' all ain't get them dirty. We're gonna get them dirty tomorrow. We're gonna practice tomorrow. So we got. So that same uniform. He said, don't wash them. Cause ain't nothing wrong with these. They not dirty. They. They not musty. They not stink. So have them. Have these jerseys hanged up, hung up in their locker, and we gonna practice. And so we practice. That. Man, you talking about, like, Damn. Even being 20 years old, I was still. I think I was like. No, I was 19. I was. I was still sore. Cause I just played a game. I just played 60, 70 plays. And to come right back out there and put the. And put the. Put the pads on play. We play bad in the rain, Coach. Wet the whole field. We go out there and practice in the rain.

[Johnny Manziel]

You know what it is, though? I'm sitting here, I'm telling you guys, from spring ball in the summer into training camp, I keep saying the same things. Y' all keep doing it. Keep doing something wrong. I preach and I'm preaching. I'm letting you know, as I stand up in front of this team meeting in front of you, this is how we're going to do things. Oh, you boys don't want to listen.

[Shannon Sharpe]

This is the game.

[Johnny Manziel]

Jazz on the line. I know where he's coming from. I get it. I mean, do you want to do it? But I guarantee you what, when they get on that bus and you can hear a pin drop on the bus on the way back to the plane or wherever they're going, they were home.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That message.

[Johnny Manziel]

That message is going to be received.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. Syracuse at home, you call it. Okay, home.

[Johnny Manziel]

You're going to be taking your. You're taking your car back to the crib. Girlfriend ain't talking to you.

[Chad Johnson]

Man.

[Johnny Manziel]

Him. Bro, that sucked.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's it, man. It's. I mean, it's embarrassing. It's just like anything. I mean, you know, because a lot of times we didn't go into the locker room, Ocho. We would go down in the corner of the end zone. Especially if we weren't winning. Now, if we were winning, coach take us in the end zone, but if we weren't winning and coach is doing this, you know, somebody doing that, they. You getting ringed out, right? He mo for us. And so being us, I'm like, lord have mercy. All, like, all the thing I'm going through my mind, he ain't talking to me because I got nine for a buck 20 and a two touchdown. So he ain't talking to me. That's the only. That's the only way I can get through it. Ocho.

[Johnny Manziel]

We only got one heartbeat.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But see, I have to tell myself that because my grandmother never spoke to me like that. And I feel some type of way if people. Somebody called me out of my name. So I'm. I'm just telling myself, he's not talking to you, but so it's okay. He might be. He might be looking at you, but he's not talking to you. So that's what I'm telling myself. Ocho, I understand he has to do it for the betterment of the team. That's why I always did the right thing, because I didn't want someone to think that I could do wrong. But they had to do right. No, I'm gonna do right. So everybody and, and so now, well, hell, if. If Sharp does it, we gotta do it. But if Sharp says, nah, we're not gonna do that, well, we gonna rally behind him. And so I understood. I understood coaches, you know, frame of reference, Johnny, because I told Ocho also that we used to jump outside and coach would make everybody run, even the people that wasn't even on the plate. Ocho say, yeah, hold on. Even if the one. No, it doesn't matter. You on the sideline if you on offense and you jump off sides. Give me, give me a lap, give me a laugh. But, yeah, I look, I bet he got their attention. Yeah, because the last thing you want to do is after you've played in most college, probably most colleges, you're Gonna probably play 60, 80 plays. I'm looking at this Baylor game, Johnny. They had 94 recorded plays. They had two receivers. Ocho go over Buck, go over Buck 40, Buck 45. One had nine for 151, the other had 10 for 145 and 115 yard rush.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah, crazy. They throw like crazy. What's it. What's the receiver. What's the receiver? Went to Baylor and it really didn't pan out. NFL went really early.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He Played in Cleveland very early.

[Johnny Manziel]

Corey Coleman.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Corey Coleman was the first round draft pick. He didn't he go to. He went to what you call him though. Didn't he go to Tennessee first?

[Johnny Manziel]

I don't know. He went to that team and I don't really talk about.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He went to Cleveland. What'd you call it? Went to Cleveland too. Oh, Josh Gore.

[Chad Johnson]

Josh go.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey.

[Chad Johnson]

And he was the real.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey.

[Chad Johnson]

Oh, Josh was the real deal.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Johnny Manziel]

Who was There was another Baylor receiver play for the Cowboys. My dog.

[Shannon Sharpe]

What the.

[Johnny Manziel]

His name was Cold Terrence.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Terence Williams. Yeah. Gary.

[Johnny Manziel]

Good player.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Johnny Manziel]

Go Route Runner. They got some dogs that came through there for sure.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Johnny, we're gonna get you out of here on this one. An Alabama fan says she know what she would do if she won the Powerball. Let's take a listen to what she said. What would you do if you won the big Powerball jackpot? I'll tell you exactly what I'd do with the first 70 million. I'd pay off Kaylin DeBoer and get him the heck out of the University of Alabama. And then I'd take whatever else it took to get rid of the ad ol Byrne. I don't like him either.

[Chad Johnson]

So.

[Shannon Sharpe]

They're ruining our football program. I'd give my church money. I don't know how much of what I'd have, you know, after I paid my taxes. But I'm sure I'd have plenty with this. This kind of deal. But I know I'm not gonna win. I just hope I win some scratch offs. I just do it for the fun of it. Hey, she said she know what she do with the first 70 million. She gonna get old Deborah out of there. She gonna get him up out of there. She gonna pay the whole 70 million. Hey, were you Alabama ojo they? Hey. Hey.

[Chad Johnson]

The standard is a standard and it's been set for a very long time. That's why you don't want to be the man coming after the man. You don't.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It's just. It's the same thing with Coach Bryant. Who. Who would want to follow Coach Bryant? You think I want to follow that? Heck no. Who wants to follow Coach Saban? Who wants to follow Coach Tom Osborne? Who wanted to follow Barrett Switzer or. Or Bud Wilkinson who wanted the Frank Leahy? I don't want to follow those mythical coaches. Yeah. Now every once in a while you'll get a guy that follows Jimmy Johnson Erickson. And guess what? He. He kept it going and then he goes to the NFL. But I And. And even though Jimmy was good, Jimmy wasn't on the level he could have been had he stayed. But I'm saying right, Coach Sab been. Been there for 20 years. He's never lost. What more than probably after his first year. More than four games in a season. Johnny, you win that 1.5, 1.6 billion. What? What Johnny. What Johnny gonna do?

[Johnny Manziel]

I might break her off a little piece of that because I Her vibe a lot. To be honest. She's cool as hell. She's a binding my family Thanksgiving this year, so. Man, to be honest, you probably ain't never gonna see me again.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Damn, Johnny, we just.

[Johnny Manziel]

Just two weeks in, I' ma drop off a duffel bag.
