Episode Details

Rod Babers and Jeremy Hills sit down with Nick Shuley for their final thoughts and full breakdown on how Texas pulled off one of the most improbable wins in college football history against number one Ohio State. Down 20 points in the fourth quarter, the Longhorns did something that statistically should not happen at any level of football. The crew breaks down how Sark committed to the run against a three high defense, how Muschamp made the adjustments that changed the game, how Raleek Brown and Hollywood Smothers physically took over in the fourth quarter, and why the belief this team has was built long before Saturday. They also get into the indoor warmup story that nobody else is talking about and why an entire program won that game.
