00:003.30 p.m. Eastern, Coach, let's get into the SEC.

00:03It's Texas A&M on the road taking on Missouri.

00:05This game is right around a touchdown favorite, 6.5 to 7,

00:07depending where you're shopping at, and a total of 48.5.

00:10A&M is unbeaten in the SEC right now, but every game still matters.

00:14You can't slip up.

00:14You'll find yourself out of the SEC championship game

00:16and out of the college football playoff.

00:18Talk about A&M going on the road and their chances against Missouri today.

00:22Well, and I don't think you can ever feel really good picking against Missouri.

00:26Great coaching staff, a very good football team,

00:29but they're down to their third quarterback,

00:31a true freshman quarterback starting his very first game.

00:35And so there's something to be said for that

00:37because I know that you can do a lot of things against a team like Texas A&M,

00:43the number one team in sacks in the country.

00:45They can put pressure on the quarterback.

00:47They can score over 40 points five times.

00:51I think Ahmaud Hardy has to get the ball a ton of times for Missouri,

00:55but this is a game of odds,

00:57and the odds of a third-string quarterback beating the number one team in the SEC

01:02are slim to none.

01:03So I got Texas A&M to cover the points.

01:07Coach, you could talk about maybe the bye week,

01:10you know, disrupting the timing of this team.

01:13You know, they were on a heater,

01:15and they knocked off LSU a couple of weeks ago.

01:18What can he do coming out of this bye week

01:20to make sure the consistency is there offensively,

01:23especially on the road?

01:24Well, you know what?

01:26I'm going to say this.

01:26Every coach needs to understand where they are

01:29in the progression of their team.

01:32Bye weeks late in the season like this,

01:35they're mostly recovery weeks.

01:36Get well.

01:37Get people that are hurt back on the field.

01:39You've had so much repetition over the weeks of football,

01:43you're not worried about taking a few days off.

01:45So the biggest thing was get your kids well,

01:49make sure you got fresh legs,

01:50and don't go out there in the off week and practice too much

01:54because the big thing is to have a great game plan,

01:57and that's what the key was for Texas A&M.
