<v Speaker 1>here's Softie and Dick.

0:00:25.900 --> 0:00:27.690
<v Speaker 3>All right, we are back at the 520 Bar and

0:00:27.710 --> 0:00:31.450
<v Speaker 3>Grill on a Thursday afternoon. We got NFL football coming up,

0:00:31.490 --> 0:00:33.690
<v Speaker 3>but joining us right now on the radio show, courtesy

0:00:33.729 --> 0:00:35.410
<v Speaker 3>of our pals over at Taco Time.

0:00:35.810 --> 0:00:37.809
<v Speaker 2>I look forward to it every single week. I know

0:00:37.830 --> 0:00:38.890
<v Speaker 2>you look forward to it, Dick.

0:00:38.909 --> 0:00:39.110
<v Speaker 4>Of course.

0:00:39.330 --> 0:00:41.020
<v Speaker 3>I'm not sure if he looks forward to it or not,

0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:42.840
<v Speaker 3>but we'll ask him. Rick, do you look forward to

0:00:42.880 --> 0:00:44.620
<v Speaker 3>this as much as we look forward to having you on?

0:00:44.620 --> 0:00:51.040
<v Speaker 5>100%. This is a couple of guys talking ball. I mean,

0:00:51.060 --> 0:00:51.980
<v Speaker 5>what's more fun than that?

0:00:53.030 --> 0:00:55.490
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I agree with taco time, by the way. If

0:00:55.530 --> 0:00:57.750
<v Speaker 3>we can add some crispy burritos, that'd be phenomenal.

0:00:57.790 --> 0:00:59.590
<v Speaker 2>He seems a lot happier when he talks to us

0:00:59.610 --> 0:01:00.980
<v Speaker 2>than Florio. Yeah, no doubt.

0:01:01.020 --> 0:01:02.920
<v Speaker 3>Well, Florio's in a pissy mood when he wakes up

0:01:02.940 --> 0:01:04.920
<v Speaker 3>in the morning, so I'm not surprised to hear that

0:01:04.940 --> 0:01:07.080
<v Speaker 3>at all. But hey, Rick, let's just get into it

0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:09.410
<v Speaker 3>with what's happening over at UW. Man, a tough loss

0:01:09.420 --> 0:01:10.990
<v Speaker 3>to USC. I don't know how much of that game.

0:01:11.390 --> 0:01:15.209
<v Speaker 3>You got to watch. DeMond Williams throws into double coverage

0:01:15.250 --> 0:01:17.110
<v Speaker 3>at the end of the game, and a ball gets

0:01:17.190 --> 0:01:20.530
<v Speaker 3>swatted down. He gives up a fumble, pick six, sack fumble.

0:01:20.569 --> 0:01:23.050
<v Speaker 3>Sorry for a touchdown when he's got a wide open

0:01:23.110 --> 0:01:25.610
<v Speaker 3>tight end to his right. Husky offense against one of

0:01:25.630 --> 0:01:28.709
<v Speaker 3>the worst defenses in college football. Just could not put

0:01:28.770 --> 0:01:31.470
<v Speaker 3>up a big fight offensively, and here we are through

0:01:31.490 --> 0:01:34.390
<v Speaker 3>week five, and this offense is still struggling, and fans

0:01:34.450 --> 0:01:35.130
<v Speaker 3>are wondering what the.

0:01:35.090 --> 0:01:35.710
<v Speaker 2>Hell's going on.

0:01:37.310 --> 0:01:41.830
<v Speaker 5>Well, you're right about DeMond. He's kind of seeing ghosts

0:01:41.890 --> 0:01:44.450
<v Speaker 5>right now, and it obviously is a result of the

0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:48.840
<v Speaker 5>third down and 10 sack that he took where he

0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:50.660
<v Speaker 5>wasn't going to get sacked on fourth down, and he

0:01:50.700 --> 0:01:54.480
<v Speaker 5>threw kind of prematurely. There was an inside route that

0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:56.540
<v Speaker 5>was going to come open. He'd have been able to

0:01:56.580 --> 0:01:59.460
<v Speaker 5>move the chains, but I think it's just a lot

0:01:59.500 --> 0:02:02.790
<v Speaker 5>of pressure on him up the middle and from that

0:02:02.910 --> 0:02:05.610
<v Speaker 5>spot that we talked about last week in terms of

0:02:05.650 --> 0:02:09.630
<v Speaker 5>that seven-yard spot behind the center. I just think Jed

0:02:09.669 --> 0:02:14.450
<v Speaker 5>would be wise to move the pocket more, take a

0:02:14.470 --> 0:02:17.140
<v Speaker 5>little pressure off of him. I mean, the team played

0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:19.520
<v Speaker 5>really hard. That was a game that could be won.

0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:23.179
<v Speaker 5>They were up, what, 21-10? They had the chances to

0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:26.100
<v Speaker 5>be right where they needed to be. They're playing hard.

0:02:26.460 --> 0:02:29.820
<v Speaker 5>In comes Iowa. Iowa's probably going to be without their quarterback.

0:02:30.350 --> 0:02:32.130
<v Speaker 5>They're going to play with their backup kid. That'd be

0:02:32.169 --> 0:02:36.500
<v Speaker 5>my guest, Jeremiah Heklinski. And if you just don't turn

0:02:36.540 --> 0:02:40.900
<v Speaker 5>it over and you play clean and try to cobble

0:02:40.940 --> 0:02:44.200
<v Speaker 5>together a little running game, Ryan Walters' defense has been

0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:47.200
<v Speaker 5>good against the run. I think you find a way

0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:49.070
<v Speaker 5>to win the game and you find a way to

0:02:49.100 --> 0:02:50.030
<v Speaker 5>get things turned around.

0:02:50.810 --> 0:02:53.290
<v Speaker 4>Rick, a pessimist would say this team's done. They've shown

0:02:53.330 --> 0:02:56.889
<v Speaker 4>no real signs of being a top 25 caliber team.

0:02:56.930 --> 0:02:59.410
<v Speaker 4>An optimist would say, hey, we are two bad decisions

0:02:59.470 --> 0:03:02.430
<v Speaker 4>by DeMond Williams from being 5-0 and probably ranked between

0:03:02.430 --> 0:03:05.350
<v Speaker 4>15 and 20 right now. So what is your message

0:03:05.740 --> 0:03:08.280
<v Speaker 4>to the team going into a game like this, knowing

0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:10.540
<v Speaker 4>that it's really about as close to a must win

0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:11.920
<v Speaker 4>as you're going to have in early October?

0:03:13.180 --> 0:03:15.560
<v Speaker 5>I would say the standard of how hard we played

0:03:15.740 --> 0:03:19.450
<v Speaker 5>on the road against USC, we now know we cannot

0:03:19.550 --> 0:03:22.470
<v Speaker 5>dip below that standard. And now we need to play

0:03:22.870 --> 0:03:26.280
<v Speaker 5>as close to mistake-free and error-free as we can. And

0:03:26.300 --> 0:03:28.720
<v Speaker 5>if we'll do that, we can get back into a

0:03:29.060 --> 0:03:33.380
<v Speaker 5>race and have some impressive wins. And what that means

0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:36.320
<v Speaker 5>to the committee, we'll let the committee make up their mind.

0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:42.470
<v Speaker 5>But they've shown fight. They've shown character to fight after

0:03:42.690 --> 0:03:46.750
<v Speaker 5>disappointment after that Minnesota loss. They aren't playing great football

0:03:46.770 --> 0:03:49.020
<v Speaker 5>right now, but it just takes one game of doing it,

0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:51.320
<v Speaker 5>and all of a sudden everybody can't wait to show

0:03:51.380 --> 0:03:54.560
<v Speaker 5>up again. And I think that's exactly where I'd be

0:03:54.620 --> 0:03:55.240
<v Speaker 5>if I were Jed.

0:03:55.660 --> 0:03:57.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well, Coach, I don't know if we've talked about

0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:00.430
<v Speaker 3>this with you on the air. Rick Neuheisel, courtesy of

0:04:00.470 --> 0:04:03.510
<v Speaker 3>Taco Time, with us every Thursday on the show about

0:04:03.570 --> 0:04:06.270
<v Speaker 3>Jed having too much on his plate and being the

0:04:06.370 --> 0:04:11.200
<v Speaker 3>offensive coordinator, the play caller. recruiting the transfer portal, recruiting

0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:12.300
<v Speaker 3>high school football.

0:04:12.660 --> 0:04:14.000
<v Speaker 2>He's more involved with every.

0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:16.839
<v Speaker 3>Aspect of the football team than any head coach, honestly,

0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:20.340
<v Speaker 3>that I've seen in a long time at Washington. Would

0:04:20.380 --> 0:04:23.930
<v Speaker 3>you tell Jed maybe over the offseason to consider looking

0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:25.580
<v Speaker 3>to hire someone to call plays for him?

0:04:28.050 --> 0:04:30.670
<v Speaker 5>I would, but he'd look at me and he'd say,

0:04:30.730 --> 0:04:32.130
<v Speaker 5>are you out of your mind?

0:04:32.190 --> 0:04:33.550
<v Speaker 2>Right, right. I agree.

0:04:33.650 --> 0:04:37.870
<v Speaker 5>That's all he's ever wanted to do. From the moment

0:04:37.930 --> 0:04:41.580
<v Speaker 5>I met him. And him telling me about leaving notes

0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:45.440
<v Speaker 5>on Steve Spurrier's cars. He wanted to be Steve Spurrier.

0:04:45.860 --> 0:04:48.900
<v Speaker 5>And I would tell you that Steve Spurrier would look

0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:51.240
<v Speaker 5>around and say, who's going to call plays better than

0:04:51.339 --> 0:04:54.250
<v Speaker 5>I am. And that's exactly where Jed is now. Can

0:04:54.290 --> 0:04:58.270
<v Speaker 5>he delegate elsewhere? Yeah. And, and maybe that's the answer,

0:04:58.290 --> 0:05:02.510
<v Speaker 5>but him giving up the play calling would be like

0:05:02.550 --> 0:05:04.609
<v Speaker 5>him giving up his, and I just don't see him

0:05:04.650 --> 0:05:05.089
<v Speaker 5>doing that.

0:05:05.410 --> 0:05:08.279
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. Did you see progress from what you did get

0:05:08.300 --> 0:05:10.839
<v Speaker 4>to see of that game? Did you see progress in

0:05:10.900 --> 0:05:14.960
<v Speaker 4>Jed Fish's play calling, working DeMond, you know, first option,

0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:18.729
<v Speaker 4>moving him out, design runs, versus what you saw against Minnesota?

0:05:20.450 --> 0:05:24.250
<v Speaker 5>I think so. I think so. Again, you know, DeMond

0:05:24.290 --> 0:05:28.580
<v Speaker 5>is so talented that sometimes you forget he's got that

0:05:30.060 --> 0:05:34.390
<v Speaker 5>just an innate disadvantage of his height. And you have

0:05:34.430 --> 0:05:37.210
<v Speaker 5>to be able to see what you're what you're throwing at.

0:05:37.330 --> 0:05:37.570
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:05:38.060 --> 0:05:41.460
<v Speaker 5>And so for him to get sight lines, it takes

0:05:41.540 --> 0:05:45.320
<v Speaker 5>away some of the timing elements of pass offense where

0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:48.520
<v Speaker 5>you're throwing something on time. Well, then he has to

0:05:48.580 --> 0:05:52.380
<v Speaker 5>move to make sure that that target was is still open.

0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:55.770
<v Speaker 5>And now the timing is broken. And it's difficult to

0:05:55.830 --> 0:06:00.210
<v Speaker 5>cobble together pass patterns that don't have some timing element

0:06:00.570 --> 0:06:03.919
<v Speaker 5>to the first choice. So to get him out on space,

0:06:04.380 --> 0:06:07.340
<v Speaker 5>and obviously he's talented with his legs as well, is

0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:09.760
<v Speaker 5>to me the first item of business.

0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:13.350
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Rick, it's hard to answer a question like this,

0:06:13.570 --> 0:06:16.349
<v Speaker 3>I know. But I want to just get your gut feeling.

0:06:16.730 --> 0:06:19.169
<v Speaker 3>I mean, a lot of the criticism that DeMond is

0:06:19.210 --> 0:06:22.210
<v Speaker 3>getting right now from the fan base is not surprising.

0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:25.380
<v Speaker 2>He tried to quit the team, man. I mean, let's

0:06:25.420 --> 0:06:26.780
<v Speaker 2>just throw that out there, right?

0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:29.760
<v Speaker 3>You know, that put Husky fans, Rick, in a sour

0:06:29.820 --> 0:06:33.169
<v Speaker 3>mood from the start. A lot of people were waiting

0:06:33.250 --> 0:06:36.310
<v Speaker 3>to just unload on this guy after what we went

0:06:36.350 --> 0:06:39.110
<v Speaker 3>through over the offseason with him. Do you think that

0:06:39.150 --> 0:06:41.890
<v Speaker 3>that might be playing any kind of a role at all,

0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:45.300
<v Speaker 3>either with his psyche and the pressure he's feeling or

0:06:45.420 --> 0:06:46.520
<v Speaker 3>inside that locker room?

0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:52.310
<v Speaker 5>It's possible. I think the kids are much more forgiving

0:06:52.370 --> 0:06:54.810
<v Speaker 5>than some of the old schoolers in the world who

0:06:54.830 --> 0:06:58.710
<v Speaker 5>don't quite understand this new paradigm of college athletics and

0:06:59.029 --> 0:07:02.870
<v Speaker 5>wish we could dial the clock back. But there's no

0:07:02.950 --> 0:07:07.890
<v Speaker 5>question that all of that not only made him vulnerable

0:07:07.950 --> 0:07:11.370
<v Speaker 5>to those who would call him Benedict Arnold, It also

0:07:11.430 --> 0:07:15.630
<v Speaker 5>made him vulnerable because now what he was earning is

0:07:15.710 --> 0:07:16.120
<v Speaker 5>out there.

0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:16.860
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:20.260
<v Speaker 5>The amount that that he's making is out there. And

0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:23.880
<v Speaker 5>when you're not getting the return on your investment based

0:07:23.980 --> 0:07:29.590
<v Speaker 5>on statistics, it calls into question, what are we doing here?

0:07:30.010 --> 0:07:32.290
<v Speaker 5>And that is a lot of pressure on a young man.

0:07:33.870 --> 0:07:37.110
<v Speaker 4>Speaking of return on investment, what do you do if

0:07:37.130 --> 0:07:41.150
<v Speaker 4>you're Kyle Whittingham, Rick? You've got a $ 10 million quarterback

0:07:41.190 --> 0:07:43.390
<v Speaker 4>that's playing even worse than DeMond Williams.

0:07:44.690 --> 0:07:47.760
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, that is a square peg in a round hole

0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:51.880
<v Speaker 5>right now. Jason Beck, and what's fascinating, guys, is Utah

0:07:51.900 --> 0:07:56.680
<v Speaker 5>was the number four offense in the country last year, statistically,

0:07:56.900 --> 0:08:01.290
<v Speaker 5>in terms of yards per game. Jason Beck and Devin Dampier,

0:08:01.330 --> 0:08:04.850
<v Speaker 5>the quarterback at Utah, came over from New Mexico, and

0:08:04.890 --> 0:08:06.870
<v Speaker 5>they knew each other, the yin and the yang, and

0:08:06.890 --> 0:08:10.560
<v Speaker 5>it was brilliant when paired together with a Utah offensive

0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:13.080
<v Speaker 5>line that had two guys that are now in the NFL.

0:08:13.860 --> 0:08:18.370
<v Speaker 5>The Michigan situation, Beck goes there, but he doesn't bring

0:08:18.410 --> 0:08:21.270
<v Speaker 5>Dampier with him. He takes on another guy that really

0:08:21.310 --> 0:08:24.300
<v Speaker 5>wants to be a dropback quarterback, and he probably isn't

0:08:24.330 --> 0:08:26.740
<v Speaker 5>ready to be a dropback quarterback and didn't learn much

0:08:26.780 --> 0:08:29.620
<v Speaker 5>about being a dropback quarterback a year ago. And so

0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:32.460
<v Speaker 5>now you're stuck. And then the kid comes out and

0:08:32.500 --> 0:08:35.170
<v Speaker 5>puts it on his– you know, his phone, you know,

0:08:35.210 --> 0:08:37.630
<v Speaker 5>that all they want to do is run power read,

0:08:37.970 --> 0:08:40.830
<v Speaker 5>which is probably accurate given that, that if you're going

0:08:40.850 --> 0:08:42.890
<v Speaker 5>to try to get Bryce Underwood going, you got to

0:08:42.910 --> 0:08:45.810
<v Speaker 5>get his legs involved. And so they've got this going.

0:08:46.070 --> 0:08:47.790
<v Speaker 5>As a matter of fact, it was power read that

0:08:47.809 --> 0:08:51.550
<v Speaker 5>he ran 37 yards for a touchdown against Oklahoma, but

0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:55.900
<v Speaker 5>that kid isn't ready to play in Devin Dampier's offense.

0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:58.760
<v Speaker 5>And that kid isn't ready to just drop back and

0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:02.880
<v Speaker 5>play catch and understand and and process all the information

0:09:02.900 --> 0:09:05.540
<v Speaker 5>the defense gives you. And that's why they probably need

0:09:05.590 --> 0:09:08.050
<v Speaker 5>to set him down and let Tommy Carr play a

0:09:08.070 --> 0:09:10.990
<v Speaker 5>little bit and see if he can get better just

0:09:11.070 --> 0:09:11.949
<v Speaker 5>watching a little bit.

0:09:12.290 --> 0:09:14.929
<v Speaker 3>Well, I'm glad the Huskies are playing tomorrow because I

0:09:14.970 --> 0:09:17.110
<v Speaker 3>get to park my fat ass on my couch and

0:09:17.150 --> 0:09:20.199
<v Speaker 3>watch Georgia-Alabama Saturday at 4.30.

0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:22.560
<v Speaker 2>From Bryant-Denny Stadium. I mean, this is a huge one

0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:23.000
<v Speaker 2>for Kalen.

0:09:23.020 --> 0:09:25.240
<v Speaker 3>You know, it's funny, Rick, that Kalen DeBoer has the

0:09:25.300 --> 0:09:28.210
<v Speaker 3>exact same record at Alabama as Nick Saban did after

0:09:28.210 --> 0:09:31.969
<v Speaker 3>33 games. They're both 25-8. And I'm wondering if you

0:09:32.030 --> 0:09:35.370
<v Speaker 3>think he's starting to really turn the tide now, no

0:09:35.410 --> 0:09:38.600
<v Speaker 3>pun intended, and get this thing going down there. And

0:09:38.630 --> 0:09:40.780
<v Speaker 3>who are you liking this matchup with Georgia Saturday?

0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:43.900
<v Speaker 5>Well, I think it's his best team, and it looks

0:09:44.020 --> 0:09:48.130
<v Speaker 5>most like him. He and Ryan Grubb now are collaborating,

0:09:48.170 --> 0:09:51.699
<v Speaker 5>and this looks like a Kalen offense. They've got this

0:09:51.740 --> 0:09:55.079
<v Speaker 5>young star in Kalen Russell that's kind of coming along,

0:09:55.140 --> 0:09:57.890
<v Speaker 5>and they've got him kind of schooled up. Doesn't mean

0:09:57.910 --> 0:10:00.140
<v Speaker 5>he won't make a couple of mistakes. but the bottom

0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:03.199
<v Speaker 5>line and they got three really talented receivers and they're

0:10:03.220 --> 0:10:06.590
<v Speaker 5>playing uh great on defense I'm going to take Alabama

0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:11.030
<v Speaker 5>at home just Kirby Smart for whatever reason has a

0:10:11.190 --> 0:10:14.410
<v Speaker 5>uh panic reflex when it comes to Alabama he ends

0:10:14.530 --> 0:10:16.730
<v Speaker 5>up doing things that are out of character I remember

0:10:16.750 --> 0:10:21.109
<v Speaker 5>he fake the punt in the SEC championship game against

0:10:21.170 --> 0:10:23.670
<v Speaker 5>Nick Saban. And I'm like, what is that for? It's

0:10:23.710 --> 0:10:28.430
<v Speaker 5>just like to show the master that I know exactly

0:10:28.470 --> 0:10:33.290
<v Speaker 5>what I'm doing. And so he's two and seven against Alabama.

0:10:34.010 --> 0:10:38.930
<v Speaker 5>They haven't won in Tuscaloosa since, I think, the 70s.

0:10:39.309 --> 0:10:42.990
<v Speaker 5>So it's been a while. It's It's been a while.

0:10:43.950 --> 0:10:46.050
<v Speaker 5>I'm going to take Alabama in front of a home crowd.

0:10:46.090 --> 0:10:49.030
<v Speaker 5>What will be interesting is the weather. The hurricane is

0:10:49.070 --> 0:10:52.730
<v Speaker 5>supposed to be past them, but game day is going inside.

0:10:52.809 --> 0:10:55.230
<v Speaker 5>It'll be interesting if the players wish they were inside.

0:10:55.740 --> 0:10:56.130
<v Speaker 2>No doubt.

0:10:56.550 --> 0:10:58.840
<v Speaker 4>Rick, I remember all those Red River shootouts that were

0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:02.120
<v Speaker 4>like 49 to 41, and we've got an over-under of

0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:06.480
<v Speaker 4>39 in this one between Texas and Oklahoma. Who do

0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:09.320
<v Speaker 4>you like in this one? You've got Texas giving seven points.

0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:14.360
<v Speaker 5>Well, I'm told there's no truth to the rumor that

0:11:14.420 --> 0:11:17.880
<v Speaker 5>Brent Bedables had called Greg Sankey and just said, can

0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:21.219
<v Speaker 5>we just play our defense against their offense? There's no

0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:24.280
<v Speaker 5>truth to the rumor. But that is where he's going

0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:28.470
<v Speaker 5>to end up being on par with the opponent. Their

0:11:28.610 --> 0:11:32.450
<v Speaker 5>offense has struggled mightily. John Mateer has struggled mightily. It's

0:11:32.490 --> 0:11:36.929
<v Speaker 5>another high-paid quarterback, kind of like DeMond, that's not getting

0:11:36.970 --> 0:11:39.710
<v Speaker 5>it done, and he can hear all the noise out there.

0:11:40.330 --> 0:11:44.130
<v Speaker 5>And it's hard on young people. But Mateer's got to

0:11:44.170 --> 0:11:46.510
<v Speaker 5>come through if Oklahoma has a chance to win this game.

0:11:46.970 --> 0:11:47.150
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:11:47.170 --> 0:11:49.429
<v Speaker 2>All right. Well, time for your Taco Time Pick of

0:11:49.450 --> 0:11:49.790
<v Speaker 2>the Week.

0:11:49.850 --> 0:11:52.089
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to go with a couple of crisp beef burritos,

0:11:52.330 --> 0:11:54.450
<v Speaker 3>maybe throw in a fish taco, large Coke Zero.

0:11:54.710 --> 0:11:56.850
<v Speaker 2>Mix it up a little bit. 3-3 on the air

0:11:56.929 --> 0:11:57.410
<v Speaker 2>for you.

0:11:57.490 --> 0:12:01.600
<v Speaker 3>Coming off a tough one last weekend with Cal and UNLV.

0:12:03.059 --> 0:12:05.179
<v Speaker 5>Cal had climbed back to take the lead, and I

0:12:05.220 --> 0:12:07.840
<v Speaker 5>was going to be so happy to say, thank goodness

0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:11.880
<v Speaker 5>they found a way. But– Porous on defense. Porous.

0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:14.500
<v Speaker 2>No doubt. Not good for Tosh, right, at all?

0:12:15.300 --> 0:12:18.160
<v Speaker 5>Not good at all, which is surprising given that he

0:12:18.179 --> 0:12:21.920
<v Speaker 5>was the D coordinator at Oregon. But I am going

0:12:21.940 --> 0:12:25.040
<v Speaker 5>to go. We're going to go to Nashville. Ole Miss

0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:27.900
<v Speaker 5>was off a bye. They got their tails handed to

0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:30.910
<v Speaker 5>them by Florida. And I think it was embarrassing. And

0:12:30.950 --> 0:12:32.750
<v Speaker 5>I think Pete Golding is going to get them right.

0:12:33.150 --> 0:12:36.030
<v Speaker 5>I think Trinidad Chandler is the real deal. And I'm

0:12:36.050 --> 0:12:40.380
<v Speaker 5>going to take the hottie-totties going to Vanderbilt because, remember,

0:12:40.410 --> 0:12:43.260
<v Speaker 5>they'll probably have 60% to 70% of the fans in

0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:45.760
<v Speaker 5>the stands. And it'll feel like.

0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:46.180
<v Speaker 2>A home game.

0:12:46.220 --> 0:12:50.720
<v Speaker 5>I think it's 10-and-a-half. Give me hottie-tottie. Nine. Nine-and-a-half.

0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:53.040
<v Speaker 2>Nine-and-a-half. Ole Miss.

0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:58.480
<v Speaker 3>Yep, Ole Miss giving nine-and-a-half at Vanderbilt on Saturday at 1230.

0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:01.319
<v Speaker 3>All right, man, good stuff. Enjoy it, and we'll talk

0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:02.140
<v Speaker 3>in a week, man, all right?

0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:04.819
<v Speaker 5>I look forward to it. Go Dawgs.

0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:06.500
<v Speaker 2>All right, there you go. Go Dawgs.

0:13:06.570 --> 0:13:11.290
<v Speaker 3>Rick Neuheisel with us with some thoughts on UW-Iowa, Alabama,

0:13:11.370 --> 0:13:15.410
<v Speaker 3>Georgia tomorrow, or excuse me, on Saturday. He likes Ole

0:13:15.470 --> 0:13:18.010
<v Speaker 3>Miss minus the points of Vanderbilt for his taco time

0:13:18.370 --> 0:13:20.309
<v Speaker 3>pick of the week. Let's get to Factor Fiction, brought

0:13:20.330 --> 0:13:22.609
<v Speaker 3>to you by the Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel right now.

0:13:23.210 --> 0:13:24.600
<v Speaker 2>We're set to go. Glad you're with us.

0:13:24.690 --> 0:13:31.839
<v Speaker 1>It's your shot at our weekly $ 1, 000 and the $ 10, 000

0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:30.480
<v Speaker 1>grand prize.

0:13:30.900 --> 0:13:32.540
<v Speaker 2>It's Factor Fiction.

0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:36.740
<v Speaker 1>Proudly presented by Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel, where every

0:13:36.780 --> 0:13:41.070
<v Speaker 1>day feels lucky. Factor Fiction is on. Sports Radio 93.3, KJR-FM.

0:13:44.290 --> 0:13:47.310
<v Speaker 3>All right, Chuck took the Colts, or excuse me, Indiana,

0:13:47.470 --> 0:13:53.950
<v Speaker 3>my fault, minus 7.5 at Nebraska. Jessamyn took Minnesota, minus

0:13:53.970 --> 0:14:01.190
<v Speaker 3>the points at New Orleans. Tennessee, plus the points against Houston.

0:14:01.309 --> 0:14:03.850
<v Speaker 3>Ashley went with the Titans against the Texans.

0:14:03.929 --> 0:14:06.610
<v Speaker 2>It's Thursday. It's Dick Day. What do you got?

0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:10.760
<v Speaker 4>Well, remember I said that if DeMond Williams' two passes

0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:13.619
<v Speaker 4>hadn't gone awry, the Huskies would be the most fraudulent

0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:15.679
<v Speaker 4>5-0 team in college football.

0:14:15.710 --> 0:14:16.830
<v Speaker 2>I don't remember you saying that.

0:14:16.850 --> 0:14:20.750
<v Speaker 4>Well, the most fraudulent team in the NFL is unquestioned.

0:14:21.510 --> 0:14:23.790
<v Speaker 4>That would be the 4-0 Minnesota Vikings.

0:14:23.830 --> 0:14:24.510
<v Speaker 2>Wow!

0:14:25.860 --> 0:14:31.220
<v Speaker 4>The worst, statistically the worst offense in the NFL.

0:14:31.420 --> 0:14:32.440
<v Speaker 2>And they are 4-0.

0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:35.040
<v Speaker 4>They are finding ways to win because they're beating the

0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:39.420
<v Speaker 4>Dolphins and the Bucs. And they didn't score a touchdown

0:14:39.470 --> 0:14:42.750
<v Speaker 4>against the Bears and still won that game. They are

0:14:42.790 --> 0:14:44.710
<v Speaker 4>going up against the Saints team. You know how we

0:14:44.770 --> 0:14:47.150
<v Speaker 4>love to take teams coming off embarrassing losses.

0:14:47.170 --> 0:14:47.470
<v Speaker 2>That's right.

0:14:47.550 --> 0:14:50.010
<v Speaker 4>Well, the Saints got embarrassed at home in the return

0:14:50.030 --> 0:14:53.660
<v Speaker 4>to the Superdome 20 years later, right? All the fanfare,

0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:56.220
<v Speaker 4>and they got punked by the greatest quarterback of all time,

0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:59.420
<v Speaker 4>Michael Penix. They are going to be pissed coming into

0:14:59.460 --> 0:15:02.440
<v Speaker 4>this one. They are getting points at home, which they

0:15:02.490 --> 0:15:06.050
<v Speaker 4>should not be against a team that probably should be

0:15:06.110 --> 0:15:09.180
<v Speaker 4>about a 8-9, 9-8 type team at the end of

0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:09.660
<v Speaker 4>the season.

0:15:09.700 --> 0:15:12.140
<v Speaker 2>Give me the Saints plus two and a half.

0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:15.150
<v Speaker 4>They go marching in to a straight up victory over

0:15:15.170 --> 0:15:16.030
<v Speaker 4>the Vikings.

0:15:16.070 --> 0:15:18.690
<v Speaker 2>Going head to head against Jessamine. I like it.

0:15:18.750 --> 0:15:21.450
<v Speaker 3>By the way, Minnesota's offense is averaging a yard and

0:15:21.470 --> 0:15:25.020
<v Speaker 3>a half more than Cam Ward's offenses in Tennessee.

0:15:25.300 --> 0:15:27.240
<v Speaker 2>That's how bad they've been so far this year. So

0:15:27.260 --> 0:15:29.120
<v Speaker 2>we're getting points. Is that right? We're getting two and

0:15:29.140 --> 0:15:29.500
<v Speaker 2>a half.

0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:33.160
<v Speaker 3>So Jessamine took Minnesota minus the points. We're going to

0:15:33.210 --> 0:15:35.770
<v Speaker 3>take the Saints plus the points. Do you believe in

0:15:35.850 --> 0:15:38.290
<v Speaker 3>Jess or do you believe in Dick? That really is

0:15:38.310 --> 0:15:41.750
<v Speaker 3>what this comes down to, people, at 49451. Fact if

0:15:41.790 --> 0:15:45.380
