Coach Spurrier, it's a pleasure to speak with you on the air.

Steve Russell will be on his way in shortly.

Shane Matthews, how are you doing? Doing great.

The Gators 44-39 victory coach over the Auburn Tigers on Saturday night.

It was so shaded on the Auburn side.

against Florida that you brought it up everything already you saw national guys you saw it was a big discussion I was listening to the radio call on the way back that varsity app is really really cool so you can go back on demand listen to the radio broadcast that's what I did on the way back yeah Sean Kelly Shane Matthews wasn't having it either I mean It was terrible when you look at the officiating.

So it certainly played into it.

And look, that's another thing I'll give credit to this team.

And we all know what it's like to wander the desert aimlessly looking for that mirage that you think is a franchise quarterback.

And oh, damn, it turns out to be John Beck or it turns out to be Rex Grossman or Shane Matthews.

Or I could go down the list with Danny Werfel if you want, guys, or we could just move on.

I'm going to prefer to move on and not list Tony Banks and Donovan McNabb.

South Carolina at home.

Shane Beamer, this is a big game for his job.

And Mississippi State with all kinds of momentum coming out of the Big Ten game last week at Minnesota where they just absolutely buried the Gophers.

I loved seeing that.

And you've got to think Buster Faulkner has saved a bunch of stuff in his hip pocket for Saturday night.

And Shane Matthews on the show earlier this week, Hayes, thought they're going to throw it early and then lead on Jaden Baugh.

That's the Spurrier blueprint.

It also tells you what Shane's heard about the Auburn secondary.

We learned that Spurrier won the Heisman.

We learned that Shane Matthews was the sixth quarterback on the depth chart, that he came from Pascagoula, Mississippi.

We learned how many SEC championships.

I mean, you know, I got buddies like Pat Dooley, Mike Bianchi, and they're saying it was real scary during the time.

I mean, I was watching the 30 for 30 documentary.

But even back when Shane Matthews had arrived and started playing in 1990s, like the Gators didn't win SEC road games.

Right.

I'm thinking, well, here we are 30 something years later.
