Jägermeister knows that there's people who watch the game and people who know the game. Knowers know rivalries aren't heated. They're ice cold. They know rankings change. Traditions don't.

They know that when you drink Jägermeister on game day, you drink it ice cold. Otherwise, you just don't know the game.

So drink it ice cold or don't drink it at all. Jägermeister, damn that's cold. Drink responsibly. Jägermeister liqueur 35% alcohol by volume. Reported by Mass Jägermeister US, White Plains, New York.

Eric Winters, who played such a great game versus Baylor, come out versus Southern Miss and look like he's just went like, what, what are you, why, how?

SPEAKER_6 (3:17)

It still feels somewhat fixable to me. I don't, again, I'm not as negative as I was on our first three hard trues because it's not everything, right? Because they are getting turnovers and they are keeping...

SPEAKER_1 (3:34)

They've got a lot of good things that are happening.

SPEAKER_6 (3:36)

Yeah, yeah, there seems to be enough positive there.

SPEAKER_7 (3:39)

To me, it's the ceiling versus floor conversation. It is...

SPEAKER_6 (3:42)

That's fair.

SPEAKER_7 (3:43)

Why is the floor so...

SPEAKER_6 (3:46)

Solo, yes.

SPEAKER_7 (3:47)

You could be so good, but the stuff that you're doing that's bad is awful.

It's not just occasionally bad. It's terrible. It is some of the worst tackling, some of the worst run fits, but then you turn on the tape and you watch another play and it's like, that's exactly what it's supposed to look like. That was amazing. That was great defense. You were right where you were supposed to be. And two plays later, same dude out there on the field, and it looks polar opposite.

I just I don't get that. I don't understand it.

SPEAKER_6 (4:25)

It's tough, man. It's real tough.

SPEAKER_7 (4:28)

So I just want I want them to play up to their standard. And again, from listing, listing issues, it's not the number one issue.

SPEAKER_6 (4:38)

Yeah, but it is an issue.

SPEAKER_7 (4:40)

But it is an absolute issue that has to be addressed. Like you can't continue again. The standard for that defense has to be, especially if your offense isn't going to give you a bunch is, well, we'll just win the game ourselves. Fine. Fine.

Y'all ain't going to give us no points. We just don't win the game. Ourself.
