79 5yd penalty it is second down all right moments too Taylor and Tyson hton here with head coach Tyson hton turnovers the story in this game how do you get TJ Finley to settle in well we just had some some bad luck on on those turnovers there you know one of them TJ Force but the other one with you know just just bad luck we're doing some nice things you know we just got to settle in and you

year n two years ago n in 2021 dad Kim longtime College coachcory on the roll up back to the quarter TJ Finley who probably should have just knocked it down jiad Campbell batted the ball into the air and ends up being a loss of seven on the play I get it you're not expecting it to Ricochet right back to you but Finley probably got to just knock the ball down there that's exactly right nice athletic play by Jad Campbell but as TJ Finley catches that ball it's a loss of seven it changes the map and I think if they would have been in even a third a fourth and three scenario you go for it fourth and 10 you got to try to put points on the board Lucas Caro preseason special teams Player of the Year in Conference USA trying to get Western Kentucky on the board but no misses it well wide

Miller on the Move Miller getting first down and finishing the Run penalty marker down DeMarco Williams came over to make the hit but he got the worst of it holding offense number 77 10yd penalty from the previous spot first down it's on Jaden Roberts the Right Guard Elijah Pritchard by the way is back in the game at left tackle after getting shaken up on the last series for Alabama and Kaden Proctor and not suiting up because of a pregame injury Kaden Roberts gets called with the ho hold of that offensive tough to tell from that angle exactly where the grab was but draws a flag one thing

pressure a nice hole opens up off the right side jayen Milo identifies it so difficult and dangerous in the open field big pick up by jayen m first down on the 39 of Western Kentucky here's Jan Miller Alabama fourth career rushing TouchDown for Miller that one from 39 yards out that's the burst and the explosiveness we see from Jan Miller get in as he Dives for the pylon right there the go line

took down the tower that Bear Bryant used to coach from one of the changes kin deor made he completely changed Nick sabin's office are you an office on the right or on the left type who am I to

for sure it'll be a Touchback it'll come out to the 25 time now for a drive recap brought to you by Geico with Alabama up 28 nothing after a two-play 8r drive that took about four seconds there's jayen noo with his legs pressure comes sliver opens up off the right side and then a excellent run here nice hole opened up pull the tackle pull the center and Jen Miller put on the accelerator and finally an explosive run by the running back of this tied offense here tonight TJ Finley staying in the game at quarterback kayen Belcamp had a terrific bowl game we thought we might see him at some point but not yet for Western Kentucky and they finally get it to dvin Smith who was their best receiver last year he doesn't get much maybe a yard on the play but obviously the office change is not the only difference between Nick sa and kenor and what different is hard when you're following a legend but D'Or has a great success record everywhere he's been went to the national title game at Washington last year one of the biggest differences Nick s was always good in our meetings with him in terms of information and talking about his players and stuff but kayin de boore very laidback it's just a different vibe with the board different doesn't mean bad it's just different we felt that in practice music was a not noticeable difference in Alabama practice even top point the players both alakan jayen Muro hey jayen Muro said I never thought we'd hear music at practice in Alabama he wants players to have fun enjoy themselves be loose be free so far it's been a recipe for success in his career Bley running and does not get the first down they might go for it on fourth down here trailing by 28 nothing I think at this point you got to go for it right I mean you're down 28 nothing at Alabama offense staying on the [Music] field now play clock you saw that he reacted the quarterback did to what he was hearing and then the pl clock shut off at 15 Finley running here and gets the first down out to the 38 yd line just quarterback power when you've got a quarterback 67 to 40 follow the puller follow the running back and let that big body lean forward and push his way to a first down now Finley to throw passes Deep Over the middle and almost intercepted Again by Malachi Moore this time Messer was the intended receiver and now comes a flag the way Malachi Moore attacked the DB Messer could they throw a penalty marker on him kind of Dove at him head first with his shoulder towards the head or neck area so let's see if we get a targeting here just kind of an awkward attempt by Moore yeah not sure if that's what's going on here but it was noticeable the way more leapt towards the receiver when the ball was seemingly already passed him there is no foul for legal substitution that was the 11th player that ran off okay so it had nothing to do with that but second down and 10 take a look at what you're talking about here Dave late in his play no look like he tried to avoid I think you're yes a smart play Malik Moore he goes into the mode to make that contact sees the ball is uncatchable and avoids the receiver it's well done by a veteran defense back younger player maybe makes that mistake right but not Malachi Mo just hard to tell live whether that's what happened KD Hutchinson gets about a yard third down enjoyed the conversation with Malachi Moore it's back to him and jayen milro leadership they have on this team and how you Mel the sav an ERA with deor era guys like Malachy Moore are a key piece in this transition 34th career start for more the lone player left from that Alabama National Championship team in 2020 that was a starter Finley dumping it off here on third down and long and Elijah young has a first down to Midfield gain of 12 what a good check down by TJ Finley continuing to move the chains deep Zone coverage underneath wide open just check it down to your back get it first down well done by TJ fin the fres set are Downs at Midfield from Smith getting a lot of reps here in the first half credit to the defensive line coach Freddy Road that's tough that as you are in your pass rush and you feel like you're not going to get there and the quarterback's about to throw get your hands up get in the throwing Lane get the ball down Finley 10 of 20 passing and again four of those tenant incompletions because the passes deflected at the line of scrimmage Finley losing his balance just under hands and out of bounds incomplete Bo Russa said his name a lot here so far in this first half the athleticism the explosion the shot of a cannon off the edge Finley steps up and loses his footing setting up this third and long Western Kentucky one for seven on third down four on territory assuming they don't lose yardage here they went for it from inside their 40 yd line on fourth down but that was fourth and one some pressure here Dave they back off and Rush four Finley try to check it down again finds Elijah young young able to get near the line to gain they'll Mark him short by about a yard and a half and again assuming Western Kentucky goes for it down 28 nothing there's no doubt you go for it in this spot and that's kind of just a thought dumping it down to your running back knowing you got two downs to work with being down four scores here if they go back to quarterback run game with TJ fin been successful a couple of times here in short yard so far and the Comm shut off at 15 seconds so it's hand signals after that from the sideline you could see that going on over there as Finley turned his head towards his coaching staff he dumps it off across the middle for a first down to Hutchinson Finley starting to settle in but perhaps too late manto man covered shallow Crosser Hutchinson beats the coverage of the true freshman red Morgan another nice conversion for the hilltop going empty here on play 12 with a drop Finley taking a shot got a man underthrown and broken up incomplete that was red Morgan the true freshman on kesan Johnson looked like Johnson had a step initially and nice job with the late recovery by Morgan just a slot fade Morgan playing that trail technique feels when those hands come up to get that ball loose at the last minute threw the body a little bit there a little bit of contact by Red Morgan he not draw a flag got zaven brown Jaylen andway red Morgan very talented true freshman on the back end for Alabama to the sideline catches made by Messer and he got four on the play bringing up third down and six Bley firing and nice catch in traffic at the 23 yd line first down Western Kentucky Musa Berry calls it in it's a good route by Musa Berry I like the read by TJ pinley as soon as he clears linebacker level he locates his Target fits into a tight window with Malachi Moore coming over the top second time third time Western ky's been inside the Alabama 30 so far no points but they have been able to move the ball on Alabama's defense here in the first half play 15 of this position Finley another pass play hits Barry again he gets suplexed at the 25 yd line by one of the true wrest we were talking about jayen and bway who played primarily quarterback in high school number two on the ESPN 300 overall players excellent athlete one thing I liked about what Kane wck said about him he loved the fact that he was a quarterback and has an understanding of coverage defensive back and he's continued to progress here to the start this season second and eight now L clock inside 10 seconds Bley over the middle incomplete going for Barry and bway in coverage brings up third down hand fting for position there going on but tight coverage by the true freshman once again giving up some size out there on the outside two downs here try to keep the drive alive Bley much better on this possession 9 of 14 third and eight 17 point Bley with time nice catch made by Messer with the defender Sab all over him right at the marker and it is a first down Corner Blitz brought off the edge Bak comes late opens up vacates that space sad unable to get down in time good find once again TJ finle Messer just a scrappy good slot receiver moves the sticks yeah he had 42 catches last year four touchdowns good player in confer USA first down at the 13 play fake Finley dumping it off to Young and he gets absolutely smacked back in the 19 by Deonte Lawson first team pre-season all sec captain and they lost a lot of guys on that defense and Lawson will be asked to do more in 2024 ra Thumper good tackler go back and watch that SEC Championship game against Georgia he was all over the field making plays and quality Communicator here on this defense for Kane W they run it here and Lawson right there to swallow up young minimal gain maybe a yard a third down and about 15 Tim Keenan third in there as well he's a big body tough to move couple of nice underrated defensive tackles inside Tim Keenan Tim Smith big body guys up that defensive line there on second down already seen James Smith make a couple plays one of the rotation guys on that dline so third and 14 from inside the Alabama 20 Finley from the pocket goes underneath to Barry and Barry able to spin away from the defender and Malachi Moore finally gets into the ground but it will be first and goal at the 8 yd line check that fourth down excuse me fourth down they're short of the line the game because of that negative play on first down that's a good job by Barry the open field and this Tackle by Justin Jefferson setting up fourth and manageable here the fourth down and five they're two for two on fourth down on this drive that take a timeout back in a moment fourth down coming up Western Kentucky trying to get on the scoreboard look at that jet stream weather oh on

coming off that big win against Florida state they're up seven nothing against Georgia State on E Matt this is play 21 of the drive for Western Kentucky they've run more plays on this drive and Alabama has run all game just 16 plays run by the Crimson Tide yet they're up 28 nothing because of all the turnovers fourth down and five for Western Kentucky two for two on fourth down this drive Finley in trouble gets away from a Defender lowers the shoulder Dives inside the five close to the first down but appears short and Alabama will take over on down Tim Keenan made the hit well good coverage nowhere for TJ Finley to go with the football and I love Pursuit down the line of scrimmage the big man Tim Keenan stopping TJ Finley short of the line to gain the 20 first play of this drive Dave pass results in nothing nothing second time they've been inside the red zone for Alabama no points to show for B but don't break and it's kind of been this entire philosophy here so far in the first half of this bit defense a lot of plays run by Western Kentucky but not a lot of yards 45 plays just 127 yards the night for the hilltop less than three yard per play for Western Kentucky yet they've run three times as many plays as Alabama Crimson tied back up on the 5 yd line and noow will hand it off here on first down hes with some room off the right Edge close to a first down at the 15yd line and it is a first down defensive line stting to Le on West Kentucky a little bit second straight good run by this offense and here's H again with great speed H might be G inside the 4 inside the inside the 10 h on the way for Touchdown an 85 yd run for justice hes they had a two-play 80 ydd Drive that was about a minute long earlier now they have a two-play 95 yd drive that's about 30 seconds 35 nothing we've seen Success With The Gap scheme running the pullers out front right guard Jaden Roberts right tackle will for to see both these guys get out front and open a big hole and Justice Haynes hits it downhill almost ran out of gas there at the end but really not block those pullers W tight that hole opens up the acceleration and it heels to the field for just his hes his hand got a little tight on him though the offensive line will appreciate and enjoy watching they evaluate look at this fil hes last year just had 25 cars because of jce mcfallen and royell Williams but hnes and Jan Miller will get the bulk of the carries we might see some Richard young here tonight as well third rushing TouchDown for Alabama this half milro with one of those Haynes and Miller the others milro also has two passing touchdowns and once again a Touchback for Western Kentucky we'll cap off our terrific slate of games opening week with Labor Day night Florida State looking to bounce back from the loss and Ireland taking on Boston College with coverage starting 7:30 eastern time how about that performance by George attack not many people saw that coming and the real question how does Florida State respond what are they going to be able to do DJ UNG speaking of you know underneath shallow throws that was kind of the game plan for most of the night did have that nice last Drive fascinating to see a the Bill O'Brien era in BC and how did Mike lell get his team to respond in Tallahassee on Monday night Boston College was very close to beating Florida State last year and a new quarterback for Western Kentucky is Kaden Bel Camp is in the game he will just hand it off here at George Hart on first down so Bel camp we thought we might see at some point played in a few games last year one of the games he played in was in relief in the famous poster Bowl he helped overcome a 28 point deficit threw for almost 400 yard and five tuck up it was an incredible performance and prior to that game he' already put and at least out on social media he was going to enter the transfer portal dad's a strength coach he's locally from right there near West kenty's school he stepped in and had the game of his life LED this team to a victory and been quite the battle between him and TJ Finley for the starting job TJ Finley was able to get the nod but an opportunity here for pton belcam try to make some noise and get back into that race saw the speed there of jihad Campbell taking down George Hart III we have reached our two-minute timeouts something

Barry coming up at the Mercedes Benz halftime report busy week one of college football both Georgia and Texas really impressive in their debuts plus Michigan sputtering a little bit in their title defense plus good quarterback performances across the country we'll show you those Dan mull Joey Galloway join me coming up at the mercedesbenz halftime report all mat Dave pass Dy to Bor and Taylor McGregor back here at Alabama Ryan Denny Stadium which opened back in 1929 Alabama won 84% of its games here that's number one all time in FB LT Sanders on third down and six getting the carry and getting nothing got an injured Alabama player that's Malachi Moore but he coms to his feet quickly and gets off the field so it looks to be okay pretty surprised we didn't see Bel the opportunity to put the ball the air second or third down there especially when you're down 35 nothing right would assume at this point they're going to punt so a timeout called by Alabama let's check in with Taylor well Dave pton Bel Cam's love for college football seemingly came through osmosis his dad Jason is the head strength and conditioning coach at Western Kentucky he's held that same role at several different colleges and when Kaden was growing up in his formative years his dad Jason was a strength and conditioning coach at the University of Arkansas well at that time Bobby patrino was the head coach and Ryan Mallet was the quarterback so he credits Ryan Mallet for his desire to play quarterback at the college level but it's been enjoyable for the two of them to share this journe at Kentucky nice return by Cole Adams and nice story there yeah great story is a father of a football player how cool is it to watch your son growing in the sport that's awesome they get a chance to coach him be around him see hims a special moment in that toastery bowl that success let him to come back for another year it's outstanding meanwhile minute 45 left Alabama calling the timeout there on that last possession even though it was a change of possession the clock stopped they used the timeout so 145 to go and Crimson Tide looking to add to its lead the last two scoring drives they've had were almost the length of the field and in no time and pass off the fingertips of Miller who gets upended by azir Ward second and 10 and I get the score is 35 but like if you're looking at this prior of that throw they only run 18 plays like they've got to get work in they've got to play you know they've got a a trip to Madison Wisconsin in a couple South Florida almost beat him a year ago coming in here and and a chance to run the two-minute drill new offense and I just think it makes sense as to why we're seeing them go for yet another drive here late up five scor no rad to the air this time surveying throwing it and completing it to Ryan Williams and Williams breaks a tackle Williams his second down he's touched the ball twice and both times he's gone into the end zone that one from 55 yds out not a bad debut to the Val who true freshman Ryan Williams magic when the ball gets into his hands patch and three touchdown passes now for milro but you can see and you made the point about not a lot of plays the offense is in a group now the last three series they've been dominant looking like I'm sure kayin deor expected them to look like after a slow start and yeah they're up 42 nothing still seeing the ability to run the football and now with Jaylen milro good job going through his progressions with his eyes in Cut there from Ryan Williams on the Dig and he does the rest once the ball gets in his hands breaking a tackle and strolling into the end zone slow sputter start early but to your point they have found their stride and the explosive plays are there it's all dancing so far here in Tuscaloosa here's what we're talking about with the last three drives Dusty it if the late person at home this has been even though Nick sav's a defensive coach it was basically Nick sav's offense depending on the coordinator it still was what he wanted offensively what are some of the differences that fans will start to see that are noticeable with a kin dor offense compared to what was run here previously under Nick s well you're going to see a lot of re that motion shifts different Personnel packages and they really do an excellent job of window dressing masking what they're going to do and then identifying what you're trying to do defensively and they run a lot of simpler plays just out of different formations and different looks and it becomes taxing on defenses and the ability for the offense to get a tip on exactly what's coming and once they' hit their stride here tonight we see those chunk plays come in bunches which we saw last year at Washington as well and that was with Michael penck and Michael penck very different quarterback from Jaylen noo in fact he said that to us yesterday look I'm not Michael penck our games are so different but over the years kayin dor has worked with different types of quarterbacks I don't know that he's had now Michael penick's very talented top 10 pick but the type of talent that jayen noo is I don't know that he's had that yet and they're going to lean into one trade of really good coaches is that they adapt and adjust to the skills to have their best players and I don't think this offense is going to look exactly like it did at Washington a year ago we touched on the offensive line built differently than it was at Washington the quarterback skill set completely different of Michael pinnick they' got their structure and what they want to do but the plays they really lean in on and exactly how this offense is going to continue to grow and be shaped through the course of season I expect look than what it had with Michael penck in Washington to me that's smart good coaching and putting your players that you have in position to succeed there's a Elijah Young on the carry and that let's see when they start the play clock they just started it so have to run one more play it has been a meteoric rise for kin dor just five years ago was the offensive coordinator at Indiana two short years at Fresno State two brilliant years at Washington within just one game of a national championship and very quickly two days after Nick sa retires he's hired by Greg burn the athletic director to take over and replace AR the greatest college football coach ever I get it I understand and can exactly see why having been around him talking to his players talking to his staff he is an impressive impressive Coach and he's going to have a lot of success here's the head coach in Alabama lot of success in the first half 42 to nothing as we send you to the studio the Mercedes-Benz halftime report Matt Joey and Coach Mo gentlemen thank you quite the debut there for kayin dor it is all tied in his first half as Alabama's head coach we walk me into the Mercedes Benz halftime report let's start with Texas today one of the returning playoff teams we just a hot swap you out we're going to go we're going to go back and forth we're just going to play Choose Your Own Adventure change your mind H I think we're staying on Georgia all right here's Carson back to London humph 40 yard touchdown Georgia now on fire 27 to three this game was six nothing at the half and it was just a slow first half and Georgia turned it on in the second half and got going 9 minutes left again the Clemson offense K Club Nick lost again today absolutely and that's why Georgia sometimes starts slow they're going to wear you down throughout the course of the game because they have so many not just Playmakers on defense but they big physical they just swarm you and they shut down the Clemson offense all day and Joey you put it great because Georgia just erupted in the second half scored 28 points in the second half had 400 yards of total offense it was a blow up now we're going to go Texas and Colorado well we want to tease you from another one of the col football playoff returning teams you see Alabama you saw Georgia now you see Georgia last year but that's Isaiah Bond he played at Alabama he looks double O Bond right there and Quinn ERS with three TD passes in the first half hey look at arts arts got in the important highlights there was more talk about art getting in the game than anything else that happen we knew quen and we knew the starters were going to have a field this is a nice play athletic play improvised I think he thought he was going to run it in and then he realized he wasn't that pass that's the most he's played at Texas the sophomore 52 nothing it is all Texas and right now well I mean it's 63 if you're a defensive guy I'm sure you're loving this one if you're an offensive guy you're probably not watching because it's 63 over on ABC Texas and Dame with that welcom in Mercedes-Benz halftime report Dan Mullen Joey Galloway Matt Barry that was the big one tonight in the SEC for the SEC because Notre Dame a top 10 team Texas A&M Mike ELO first year head coach 63 three Aggies at home big day for the conference in the SEC what has been your headline Joey so far I want to see what Alabama was going to look like with kayin the board now as their head coach and they've been able to do whatever they wanted to do uh offenses looked great over 350 yards uh Jaylen milro three passing touchdowns being to run almost 200 yards so it's been great but like you coaches like to do a nitpick things if you really wanted to nitpick Alabama's first half Western Kentucky went on a 21 play Drive yeah they converted a couple fourth Downs they couldn't get off the field now it ended up with with zero points as you see but defensively you want to say hey we need to be able to get off the field and not stay out there for 21y penalties too if you really want to but still 40 42 nothing well the other two big contenders in the top two teams in the SEC when you look at at Georgia and Texas what what impress me today and I know offensively you're Texas's opponent wasn't as strong Georgia much stronger but the defenses both of them held their opponents under 200 yards both of them completely shut down the Run game there's some questions some new faces along both defenses and to to right the offense sells tickets the offense right is what everybody loves to see but if you want to go compete for a championship at some point you have to play defense they're two top contenders and they showed they can really play defense today and I'll tell you Georgia having a marquee game taken on it what we thought was going to be a good Clemson team I think in terms of they're a good team Georg just a better team than they are that much better huh yes they are right we're seeing that a little bit differently although Georgia dominant they they won 40 consecutive regular season games Oklahoma way back went 45 Miami 39 back in 20203 last time Georgia lost the regular season game to Florida and Mullen coached them back in November of 2020 things are much different in an arbor this year yet Michigan still ranked n coming off a title struggling with Fresno

been it's not yeah it has not been Oregon and Ido speaking of a little bit surprising here Jordan Janes for the touchdown but Oregon only up 14 nothing that one's just about at the half it is and they're moving the ball they have some yards they just they've had a fumble and they cannot punch it into the end zone right now scoring with Dylan Gabriel the transfer quarterback there for the Ducks a nice one between Penn State West Virginia Drew Aller looks the part this afternoon this is big for Penn State's offense they had trouble going down the field last season and they went down the field very nicely in his first game against West Virginia and then here Penn stayed up Allard to Wallace the third again Wallace had a nice day Harrison five catches 117 yards two touchdowns maybe he they they're down the field thre this year Joe we we know they can run Nicholas Singleton had a nice day puts him on 27 this is after what a two-hour delay delay they came back out pen State looked really

new ball game in the SEC and now it just welcome back to the Mercedes-Benz halftime report a scary story out of the NFL today as rookie wide receiver Ricky peol was shot in an attempted robbery in downtown San Francisco now the San Francisco mayor said both the suspect and Ricky peol are in the hospital they are in stable condition San Francisco 49ers teammate Deo Samuel tweeted earlier tonight that he is quote good referencing peol with this shooting incident in downtown San Francisco peol started his college career at Arizona State then moved on to Florida where he was drafted in the first round by the 49ers speaking of Florida they had a game today and a big one against Miami Miami trying to carry the water for the ACCC hadn't been good for that conference to start the season here cam Ward the ninth year player cam m pering the ninth year it's always good to see a ninth year guy get a touchdown Jo he fought back from a lot of injuries College's football is Van Wilder and here Mark Fletcher Miami up 173 and Miami just look like the more athletic team the faster team and it showed this entire game hey look cam ward he was by the Crown Jewel the transfer pavier Restrepo there for another touchdown and this was all the year yeah I mean cam W was running around making plays which that's what they brought him in to do he's hard to bring down and he keeps plays alive with was throwing the ball down the field in fact Florida lost their first home opener since 1989 34 game win streak snaap Miami in a beat down Dylan rayola number one quarterback in the country getting the start for the Nebraska Corn Huskers year two of Matt rule Dante dowo touchdown Nebraska of 7even nothing then here rayola 59 yards to Isaiah na ra looked really good now he committed to Ohio State I think committed to Georgia then settled in on Nebraska really excited about this young for so do we consider this his 1D te might as well okay and then Ray to Jamal bank but he was giving his receivers a chance and he took some chances but I'd like to see that out of the young freshman so good debut out of him 40-7 the final in Lincoln speaking of new faces new places Kyle mcord he came over from Ohio State now the starting quarterback for Fran Brown year one Syracuse Trevor Peña 20 yard touchdown Syracuse Up 179 this is a good get for Syracuse I mean a quarterback that played really well for Ohio State last season they get him out of the portal and he kept it rolling against Ohio M Quint Allen there puts him up 2416 overall coach a really good day for McCord in his debut absolutely had a had a huge day but he has that experience he's played in big games he has confidence and I'm tell you what he'll raise the play of everybody around him 3822 orange get the [Music] win

so what's going to come down to this can they do it oh no they missed it there's a flag on the FL this halftime report is presented by mercedesbenz so I'd say the offense still clicking for Alabama yeah they have some Playmakers and uh Kaylin B's got to be happy with the explosive plays that he saw in the first half back to tuscalo the second half this has been your Mercedes Benz halftime report

plan in case you're ready to prepare now but need to break up the financial commitment that is something I can do today while we have these units in stock go to four patriots.com now you're watching Modello kickoff we welcome back to ESPN college football Prime Time presented by IHG hotels and resorts from Tuscaloosa Alabama you're watching the SEC on ESPN house at Brian Penny stadium for kayin deor debut and while it was a slow start they P Dy dor Taylor McGregor the offense really got going the last few drives of that second quarter 42 nothing explosive plays I mean that was the story and for Western Kentucky had some nice drivve but no points out of it a bit bit don't break defense for Kane wck the new defensive coordinator but it's all about Alabama in this football game the takeaways early on led to point to explosive plays late in the first half the party has officially beun with the kin deore debut here in tes and Alabama will get the ball to start the second half person tied plays South Florida here next week two weeks they're in Madison to play Wisconsin and they take on Georgia and the SEC opener here on September 28th Georgia looked pretty good today take a look at our Playbook Rock badell go back to early in the football game the disguise here by K WX defense see on Sam he's he's hugged up he's cheating up TJ fidley never sees him outside playing safety easy interception for the Michigan transfer one and two in the first half talk about get pullers out in front both guards Tyler Booker with an excellent block on the perimeter to Spring jayen milro and when jayen milro shows that ability to run that defense gets sucked up leaves open targets and Kendrick law pays It Off Jam Miller on first down has some room bangs off a Defender out to the 32 as we check in with tayor clean up the little things that's what kayin D'Or said to me at half he pointed specifically to the communication between his quarterback Jaylen milro and Center Parker brailford he felt like they were not in sync and that's something that they have to get figured out he felt like that landed to the turnover in the first half also some substitution things that they want to clean up here as far as Tyson hton he said for the most part I like the way our offense move the football they just have to be more efficient in the Red Zone he said his message to his team is it is a new half let's take this one series at a time and see if we can climb back into this game Dave and going back to your first point Taylor on what Tay deor told you don't be surprised if we see the offense out there even if it gets uglier than this because in the first half they ran 20 plays that's it six passing plays for Jaylen milro and as you said there were some mistakes early on they finally got settled in late milro on the Run trying to get the first down pushed out by Devonte Matthews and now milro having a conversation with one of the players on the sideline for Western Kentucky KY gri comes off the edge unscathed but you see the ability of Jay F that pressure avoid get outside when he hurdled that ball was back on his hip if he would have held that ball out forward he moves his dickon instead a quick three and out to open up the second half of the tied off b r last year finished fifth in the Heisman Trophy boting and that's after getting benched early in the year but he really overall had a terrific season would imagine at least early on will be in the Heisman conversation fourth down here flag 5yd penalty it is fourth down back tied up five yards for the punt from Bernard it's another area for Kayla seven penalties now in this game this Alabama football team and coming from Washington they were disciplined weren't a highly penalized team another thing that they can work on that is a moonball they caught at the 16 by KD Hutchinson all right time now for our afflac trivia question you didn't tell me I need to get prepared what you get well first of all don't get this one okay then I mean as somebody that hosts a college football morning show every day you'll know this one because if if you don't um we're not asking you to answer any of these the rest of you the the last head coach to win a National Championship in his first season it's that easy I think so I believe you were playing at Oklahoma at that time or maybe was right before then around that time belt Camp takes off and down he goes at the 19 dragged down by Jem Otis you don't have to say it yet but you know who it is okay yeah I got it I think uh I think they had a big win today they had a big win today they did they had a big win and it was swampy were they it was very hot and humid where they play yes against aam that they don't play very often coach similar to a soda it's a good hint swing pass Elijah young run out of play at the 21 that was Lawson over there defensively and look it it it's a different era than it was when this person uh accomplished this back in the early 2000s BCS to say it now you have a 12 team playoff and you can lose a couple games and get into the playoff right might be able to lose three and get into the playoff especially in a league like the SEC Bel Camp finds dvin Smith who gets a first down across the 30 and an injured offensive lineman for Western Kentucky and a penalty marker down as well nice run after the catch by dvin Smith voids Keon Sab who could have had him short of the line to gain illegal block on the back number four offense 5yd penalty replay third down Tron Taylor the left tackle for Western Kentucky shaking up mat committed the penalty Saad misses initially the mat gets Malachi Moore in the back the right call clearly push him right in the back of the numbers takes away would have been a nice pick up on third down for dvin Str he's been quiet tonight big Target West Kentucky season AG go ball typically finds him and he's good you saw there after the catch but biggest play of the game goes for not that penalty by mat and you see week one if you're seeing those in week six to week eight you're going to get p and he didn't even need to do it get the first down exactly pass on the catch Dr down to the 15 and so it'll be a punt here all right let's uh answer tonight's atlac trivia question the last head coach to win a National Championship in his first year again I think just before you started in Oklahoma my freshman year okay it was around that time Larry Coker by very good yes I just want to say the pressure you put on if you don't get this as if it was who won the national championship last year please please fortunately my brain is larger than you I I believe you still hold the uh the wonderl record for defensive lineman the draft here's Cole Adams on the move trying to get the corner runs out of real estate at the 40 Alabama's offense back on the field and we come back leading 42 to nothing here in TT I'm the modela recruiter and I'm looking for fans with good hands and great speed on who stay focused they never miss a [Music] play they go the distance on game day even when their team is away I'm always watching always looking to a more more fulltime fans

incredible uh it's going to be an outstanding relationship Oklahoma Texas coming over bringing that rivalry bringing news twostory programs to the best conference in all of college football it's it really is the perfect fit and it's going to make for such a fun intriguing season and for years to come b r going to keep it himself here faking it to Richard young scoots out of play after a short game Alabama will go to Norman right before the iron ball November 23rd in a conference game that'll be a big big F they went there back in 2002 and Oklahoma came here in 2003 obviously faced each other in bowl games and in a playoff game but now as you mentioned as an SEC Conference game that's it's going to be awesome just as a alumni and as a college football fan just can tell you everybody in the state of Oklahoma everybody associated with Texas football fired up to be a part of this SEC third down and four Jam Miller in the game at running back after Richard young got reps on the last two plays B row at time throws it downfield on the money Jeremy Bernard transferred from Washington following kayin dor here to Tuscaloosa at a gain of 18 the one thing I love here the pocket presence eyes feet working together it's one thing Kaynor said they really tried to work on with Jay milro accurate pass outside Jeremy Bernard is going to be a nice piece to this offense he was they utilized him at a different way at Washington had so many good receivers this production is going to increase here part of this off milro scrambling straight ahead to the 34 for about four yards brought down by Darius Thomas again you think of you know the guys they lost Jermaine Burton third round pick of the Bengals Von transferring and so Bernard coming in 34 catches last year in Washington and would expect that to go up this year they had Roman a they had P they had McMillan and he was more of a touch guy return guy speed good with the ball and think that role is going to increase here inside this offense we've already seen Ryan Williams two touches two touchdowns true freshman that was Richard Young on the carry and back to the line of scrimmage and then he have not seen Caleb odm yet highly touted freshman might see him at some point this game Rico Scott another young guy Kobe Prentice was the leading returning receiver for Alabama had 18 catches last year 31 though two years ago does have some big gaming experience one thing about this B receiving core they don't have great size you mention Odum he's the biggest of these receivers he's young and and still kind of find his way they've got excellent speed they can run good routes but the one thing they do lack is is size out there on the perimeter here's quis the tight end close to the first down of the 28 when you look at their receivers and they're all 5'11 6 feet tall Manuel Henderson listed at 61 first down and then again Caleb odm jumps about 66 played a lot of tight end but again don't know how much he's going to play they go too tight here milro and coming free is Henderson we just talked about a second ago who is recruited as a running back one career catch coming in and that was his first one the night there but a lot of cushion out there on the Edge from Ward get a lot of space to Emanuel Henderson easy pitch and catch for Jaylen milro and a nice tackle in the back field on Richard young at the 22 yd line that was Upton Stout and Upton is very Stout coming off that safety position and love him as a Blitzer All Conference caliber player in Conference USA talking with Tyson Summers defensive coordinator raved about what Upton South means to this team the best defensive player on the team we haven't called his name a lot but a nice negative play a loss of three second and 13 milro will keep it inside the 10 turns on the Jets diving for the endone touchdown Alabama that's his second on the ground and he's got three through the air they pull Tyler Booker get him out in front nice big hole one cut downhill for jayen milro he's got another gear watching him live B Pas that's the one thing again just going back to talking to Nick Sheridan kayin dor they continue to tell jaylor mirro just be you and it sure feels like they're going to call plays to his strength we've seen that on display here throughout this ball game tonight another point after from Gran Nicholson and it's 49 to nothing Alabama Jaylen milro accounting for five touchdowns in his 2024 debut for his new head coach I'm the modela recruiter and I'm looking for fans with good hands and great speed the ones who stay focused never miss a play they go the distance on game day even when their team's away I'm always watching always looking for more more fulltime fans because football isn't really football without you

including the SEC title last year seven total national championships six at Alabama and and think about it when he took over Mike schula was the prior coach and in four years schula went 26 and 23 and Coach sa now a part of our college game day crew here tonight the field will be dedicated named after him next week here for the south Florida game but that first year 2007 they were seven and six took a couple years and then they want a championship and then they won another one and another one and just kept rolling and every other year it was a championship and I get that you know Georgia has won a couple recently but Nick sa was 5 and one right against Kirby Smart who used to coach for him here and they are the reigning SEC Champions as they took him down last year in Atlanta uh he is the greatest in my estimation of all time the level of consistency you gave a stat earlier Alabama comes in ranked F in the AP poll in the preseason that's the highest they've been R the lowest they've been ranked since 2009 I mean just every single year from the way they've recruited to the domination on the field unlike anything we've ever seen especially in the modern era of college football and he just smiled more in that the 30 seconds we were shooting in there he probably smiled in 17 years on the field here as the head coach was always all business Never Satisfied he WI a championship he'd be done and saying okay let's let's move on to next year we got to start thinking about next year and uh amazing what he accomplished here in tuscalo as we check in with Taylor and I think the players have so much respect for what he accomplished but now they have to move forward and they said their favorite thing about kin D'Or is how he came in and immediately said I want to continue the Alabama standard not trying to change too much has his own spin on things but he has so much respect in having the wherewithal to follow a coach like sain and not flinch is something that certainly impressed this group about what dbor is brought so far to follow a guy like Nick Sabin dbor and Sabin talk occasionally not a ton they did talk a lot when D'Or got the job and Nick Sabin was a big proponent they had not met until the press conference to introduce kayin D'Or but Nick Sabin was well aware of the fast rising Caleb dor as a brilliant offensive mind and an excellent head coach it's smart on Greg burn to get the stamp of approval from Nick sain for his replacement and it it does look and feel different they go about things a different way but that is one thing Malachi Moore said this when kayin deor got there and he talked to all the players and he got his leadership counsel and he brought some of the veteran guys in to asked him you know about the standard that Nick sa has left things that they wanted to keep a part of it now he's made some different things but he's also kept a lot of things the same as Taylor talked about and I think it only set you up to have success

to number one last year that was the first time since 2008 that they had not been to number one at some point dur during the season wow it's a remarkable stat Ty Simpson in the game at quarterback very talented sophomore from Martin Tennessee here he is on the run and right on kid throwing a strike to Kobe Prentice and a gain of about 15 nice sh fing this pressure by Ty Simpson three hitter comes inside he just moves to his right under control finds it open Kobe brenis nice strike now Daniel Hill in the game at running back gets the carry Simpson last year played in six games through 20 passes had a couple rushing touchdowns red shirted after playing four games two years ago Big Time recruit though coming out of West View High School Caleb odm in the game for the first time and again Daniel Hill got carry on the last play no game a second and 10 under five minutes to play here in the third 49 to nothing Alabama quick throw out in space apprentis again making the defender Miss what a sweet move getting the first down inside the inside the 10 and tripped off as he do for the End Zone but stepped out of play as he stumbled had Emanuel Henderson out there blocking for gain of 15 one thing I want to pay attention to here the receiver blocking on the perimeter multiple good blocks by receivers outside Henderson with a good block Kobe Prince with a good block that was a staple of what Washington did under kayin dor nice job out there on the perimeter by those receivers Hill Straight Ahead down to about the one yd line well you think about the Washington receivers under kayin D'Or the blocking they did downfield they're very physical involved in the Run game and that was a Nick sain thing too you you had to be more than just a receiver if you're going to play offense here and a timeout called well tomorrow morning the fame Italian Grand Prix gets started at 9:00 a.m. eastern on ESPN pre- race coverage at 7:30 a.m. eastern so a great weekend of various Sports

the lesson second and goal for Simpson Hill runs into an offensive lineman but keeps the feet moving waiting for the signal in touchdown Alabama 55 nothing a look from the side kept those legs moving through contact staying low tough to tell you see the knee go down where was that ball right when the knee hits the ground see anything there that's going to be enough to overturn it close hard to tell if he's stretched out after KNE down where's the fall apparently they felt that there was a the extra point from Conor talty and it's 56 Poss all right the Taco Bell live Moss student section all season long student sections across the country are competing to be the Taco Bell Liv Moss student section of the Year download the Taco Bell app to learn more it was a rain soaked student section earlier the walkup Champions which is obviously tradition here in Tuscaloosa under Nick Sabin it would be 2 hours before under kayin B moved it to 2 and 1/2 hours before of the players earlier and almost didn't happen today because torrential downpour for about an hour and a half they actually got it in at the last second not much when is planned for kin debor his debut between the weather and some lightning again that was about 2 three hours for a kickoff and then we had a six-minute delay after kickoff because the communication devices were not working so coaches couldn't talk to coaches coaches couldn't talk to players over the headsets what touch what has gone to plan the scoreboard 100% And we still got a long way to go SEC football final is back for another season the crew will take you through the biggest stories of the day and break down all the games tonight at 11 Eastern 10 Central about an hour from now we on the SEC network and the ESPN Georgia that second half today four but they look good they look like the number one team in college football can we give a shout out out to Vander got that win today over Virginia te huge for Clark Lee and the commodor and the fact they blew the big lead yet fought through it and ended up winning the game I mean a lot of people thought Virginia Tech was going to challenge for the ACC title and still might so huge win for Van some people and some that we might be throwing to back in studio pick them to win the ACC who's that no names just saying some people maybe but you did not I did not did you have Clemson winning the ACC Championship maybe I did how do you feel about that prediction right now there a long way to go with that offense struggle give George's defense a lot of credit we did not see that step in the right direction from Kate clug Garrett riy you're two together that I was expecting and I tell you boy what Miami did today going into Gainesville the cam Ward era is of and running they were as advertised one of those new pieces there on both the offense and the defense impressive win for Mario chis ball a feel feel like as we sit her right now the top team in the ACC 41-17 the final in Gainesville jump ball downfield and it's broken up what a nice play by desan Jones they were not sure he was going to play he's been battling the hamstring injury wait Forest transfer speaking of the ACC nicely done there to force a punt it's good positioning great that pass break up seeing this defense all throughout the course of this game give a little bit but find a way to get stops and now once they really dug their heels in as the offense has found it stride as has the defense Western Kentucky hasn't gotten much in a while great punt though by Maynard fair catch made from mbak let's take a look at this week's college football rankings brought to you by allall state you already hit on some of these scores Oregon right now up 14 nothing over Idaho Fresno State kind of hanging around wow and A&M and Notre a tied at six in College Station knockdown drag out you kind of thought it would be two good defenses there at College Station the Mike Elco era underway Ry Leonard there at Notre Dame Conor wigman surprised that Michigan score Alex ory taking over on op lot of change there in an aror coaching staff roster of course the biggest change Jim Harbaugh now head coach of the Chargers Michigan's got a big one next week Texas going there about a minute and a half to go here in the third quarter Tai Simpson out there for another series off play action that throw got the running back Richard young turned around and he could not make the catch they're high on Richard young the red shirt freshman much like a lot of this roster very talented coming in going to provide excellent depth saw a heavy dose so Justice Haynes Jam Miller expect to see that throughout the course of the season but Richard young that next man up Young on the perimeter getting the carry and hit hard on the sideline of the 26 yd line a gain of maybe one on the play that's kylin gri with the stick he led the team in tackles last year really well done by G keeps that outside arm free sets that edge knifes underneath nice tackle on the perimeter so third down and nine pressure off the edge Simpson spinning back towards it and unloads incomplete fourth down good stop by West Kentucky pressure early forcing the hand of Ty Simpson he spun out he tried to square shoulders good coverage down the field nobody wide open for the first time it feels like a while West Kentucky comes up with a stop the burnup will boot deep to KD Hutchinson ver last year Aver about 48 yards per punt number two all time in Alabama and he's preseason First Team all SEC they got everything our Sunday Night Baseball matchup series finale braids Phillies at Citizens Bank Park our coverage start six Eastern baseball tonight Sunday night countdown great time of year major leag baseball playoffs on the Verizon college football season getting underway the NFL starts next week and NBA will be here as well before you know Wester kuy Run 10 plays this quarter and they have zero yards and now they have negative Messer drilled out of bounds about the 20 four yd line by Bray Hub good job by Hub coming down run support defense up front forcing that out to the perimeter good team defense all the way around nowhere to go with the football they gave him to 26 Still a loss of two second and 12 final seconds here of the third quarter they don't have to snap it and doesn't look like they're in a rush to do so Western Kentucky among the favorites in Conference USA but this has not been the hill Toppers night all Alabama here in Tuscaloosa 56 nothing after three tumor reports conducts over 50 tests to

get out there and make play you know it's good to see it so getting into these these second guys uh they haven't played a lot of football and so this is a great opportunity for them to get out there and get in the flow and get the feel of it thank you Dave great question from Taylor Dusty I mean how really can you evaluate this it almost feels a little bit like spring in terms of how much really gain from this T well it's tough and I think you got to really as coaches look for any single thing you can to M kick and really coach up because the competition's only going to get tougher we by week as they get ready for Georgia coming up week number four and they have to go to Madison in a couple weeks South Florida's here next week the game against Georgia is on September 28th at night here in

good work for its young players here's the new scheduling format in the SEC still with the eight conference games now you have one opponent from a power four or major independent for Alabama it's Wisconsin as we mentioned earlier first time in 33 years no division so the top two teams based on winning percentage will be in the championship love that too by the way makes so much sense you want to create the best possible match up get your best team your Championship Games much most of the power power confer all move to that we'll see if they stick at eight moving forward we know for at least this year and next year eight game conference late where they get to n think the more the marrier for college football fans the more you see these quality teams play each other but for now eight the magic number for conference games and what a confence late it is Rico Scott was the intended receiver on that last play and now it's Kevin Riley running back he's the fifth back yet you see the speed immediately and he gets the first down they're bringing it back a little bit stepped out at the 30 just a yard shot still a nyd game what's good job by Riley finding the perimeter see the first speed as H Sidelines steps out just shy the first down but a nice pick up you like the uh way they're doing that with no divisions and not two teams play I think it's great terrific and you know bre sanki had alluded to that a couple times the last few years that maybe that was the goal at some point and to get the first down here great to have it in the first year of this new playoff obviously leadersh leadership leadership I mean he's as powerful and well respected of ver his risen college football and he just got a fabulous job this league again grabbing Texas and Oklahoma think of the interest over the years in the Pack 12 at one point Texas and Oklahoma were in discussion perhaps to go west obviously we're down to the power four because of what happened with a Pack 12 and then OK Texas probably some overtures from the Big 10 you would imagine so to grab those two schools expand the SEC bring back now the Texas Texas A&M rival the Arkansas Texas rivalry and start some new rivalries with that Oklahoma and some of the the holdovers in the that's you look at the SEC all these states are connected it's the same Geographic footprint and a little bit of what these additions are bringing to the table 50 conference championships day that's Shake good win for Oklahoma last night it's first SEC game although obviously not a conference game the first game as a member of the SEC Texas winning big earlier today over Colorado State look good too has got it going down an ay 45 there some interesting teams really curious about this year in the SEC obviously Old Miss people are very high on the rebels can they get to the college football playoff can they win the league The Simpsons pass is caught by odm for first down flag comes down penties about you did the spring game and you really liked odm coming out that spring game his size and still learning how to be a a receiver is he a tight end is's your receiver but I know coming out of that spring game you were very high on him yeah the coaching staff really was talking him off obviously Ry Willi pening on the defense OD was about 225 230 and in spring he was listed at 25 but you just see you and I were watching him he he looked better without PS yesterday a lot of guys wearing passs just a freshman then you got Ryan Williams who had touchdowns in his first two touches today 17 years old built very differently from Caleb odm but equally talented boy Simpson takes a shot that's under thrown and intercepted back at the 5 yd line by Kent Robinson penalty marker down in the back field after the shot on Simpson officials still talking about the call person foul left inity with tting number three on the defense play is under further review so Darius Thomas personal foul ring the passer with tet angle I don't know it looked like the initial contact goes into his chest like his face is up look to me like he hits him with his face mask right in his chest wasn't a crown of the helmet did did you see an indicator there no it didn't really look like finishes up top but that initial contact comes at his chest and works up through simpsons's face mask go Crow of the helmet see a punch I think that's targ I agree which is rare that you and I agree on targeting I mean you could make the case if that's not roughing the passer either a big head but he didn't take he took a step if they take off the targeting they're still going to be rough to pass you can't take that off but I'm just saying I think that was in question as well you know I don't think it should be rough F I mean he wins inside he gets home hits him in the chest as he's working through the quarterback that's it's good clean hit skew out the eyes of a defensive tackle again they they can't remove the roughing but can remove the targeting let see they after riew there is no targeting on number three there is roughing the passer which will enforc from the previous spot it's first down that'll keep uh this going here for Ty Simpson and they'll place the ball to 24 of Western Kentucky as they look to add this 56 again we did not see because no crown of the helmet we did not see a launch the severe strike there was no forceable contact to the head or neck area Daniel Hill back in running back had a touchdown in the third quarter Simpson gets rid of it quickly across the middle juggled and then pulled in by Kobe down 15 for y Ty Simpson's been efficient stepping in here running this offense third quarter to start this fourth quarter oh big hit on that ball thrown to Apprentice Odum freshman maybe made a mistake there they're trying to set up a screen to his side the pass broken up by Kent Robinson reads it perfectly try to set up the screen odm's late to block the corner he recognizes it immediately forces that play a big hit and a nice pass break up snap shifting stumbling but keeping We Men Ty an athlete couple of rushing touchdowns last and one here to make it 62 nothing it's a really good read by Ty Simpson reads the pressure coming off the edge keeps the ball right there in that mesh nice job as the defender closes on the running back he knows he can get to the perimeter to get to the edge easy keep for him and walks into the end zone for another B touchdown so that's the fourth different excuse me fifth different player to have a rushing TouchDown for Alabama tonight six rushing touchdowns in all two from Jaylen milro Justice SS Jan Miller Daniel Hill each with one and now Ty Simpson with one extra point from T makes it 63 Simpson very talented we've seen the arm now the legs from Simpson here in the second half the itch and rash of moderate to severe eczema disrupts my skin night and day despite treatment it's still not under control but now I have roke a once da pill

playing lock down deep watch how they execute theis vendor has Le sneak scramble take it to the house W that's how youn college football prime time is presented by IHG hotels and resorts 19 hotels loyalty downlo they're two of the greatest ever to do Bry Nick s and we touched on this in the open as at Alabama scoring third most points in a season opener since 1933 most being 89 back in 1951 but you think of how many you taken on the mantle as a coach of trying to follow a legend like it goes 65 yard for the touchdown Notre Dame now on top 136 impressive by Marcus Freeman taking that lead R the first start for the Irish be his Old Coach Mike El had a good one in College Station as we all expected B Camp dumps it off out to the 30 yd line to take over for somebody like Nick sa you have to have the right toan a balance of humility and confidence and kayin deor has that without question there's a lot of people I remember this job came up who the big talk was who wants to take that job who would want to follow up Nick sa and we talked to Greg burn yesterday that was one of the things that is really drawn to Kayla abor also amongst so many people raving about him and the success on the field but he Embraces you know following Nick s he Embraces that the confidence that he has and the feeling that he's going to be able to step in and do an excellent job few people possess that and we spent a lot of time tonight talking about how he goes about it a different way there's a calmness to him there's a different feel a different vibe around this team and more easygoing fi fun nature throughout that all these players talk about and I was in practice yesterday I'm going to show you a clip in a second that really exudes and talks about just that El throws incomplete Barry could not hang up here's the video I got a chance to see so it's TI teammates okay a kid a local child is honored each week he started this in washingon and being there this a day before game this is the spring game you see that in Spring games but brings out the young girl and she's battling through some different things and her favorite player is Jayla milro and Jayla Milo gets to handle the ball and she goes and scores a touchdown and the players just loved it and everyone was so loose and having a good time and there's so many elements to that it's also a big part that he wants these guys to understand that this more than just about football he told us he wants to capture the hearts and minds of his players and I just thought it was a really special cool moment that I had never seen a Friday practice day before for a game and it just kind of speaks to the different atmosphere the different culture that surrounds kayin Nour and I thought it was absolutely awesome Taylor has more so interesting Dy when we were asking about it and the first way he described is I want my guys to celebrate people and what a powerful message that is it sounds simplistic but the way they're able to do that on a Friday before big game it was a really special message on my from my perspective no question and not saying Nick SA do a lot of the same things of course he he did but this is something that kayn dor at practice you know wanted to do yesterday and something that he's used to doing and he he does talk a lot about I'm in the people business I yeah I want to win I'm here to win but it's about the players and people um and in talking to the players that that was clear there it was a clear point every player we met with yesterday we met with multiple players made about kayin deor that there is an empasis on relationships with the players big hole here for Daniel Hill out to the 49 for 11 and he said success starts with service and you know he talked to us about Bob Young his former coach at s falls about always having attitude gratitude just around here last couple of days with Coach players other coaches who work him Indi Alabama's got a special coach we off to special start here tonight Dyan L by the way is quarter off to Daniel Hill check back and iady as a the people will show up to you in Tye of way I think that's what we're seeing very early here from K is everyone knows what to expect they interact with him and so therefore the consistency and the results have followed him especially in his previous stops we look at the winning record everything he's been able to do you know it's interesting too you see in sports all the time where somebody gets to a level that they haven't been before and they change either success gets to them or fear of failure gets to them and they react differently those things but talking with again so many people that have known kin over the years and some that are just getting to know him the message is he's been the same guy whether it was winning at Washington or winning at sou Falls same guy things don't change same every day and that matters when you're taking on a job like
