0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:39.200
<v Speaker 1>have to say Ty as a longtime SEC supporter.

0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:41.720

<v Speaker 1>a supporter of the region in general and cheering for

0:00:57.480 --> 0:01:01.600
<v Speaker 1>the SEC. It's all so special SHELL for particularly me.

0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:04.600
<v Speaker 2>Some have said it even means more down there.

0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:07.600
<v Speaker 1>You don't know, as somebody who's on the outside what

0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:12.160
<v Speaker 1>exactly that means, because you're just a Yankee. Tie doesn't

0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:16.280
<v Speaker 1>get the sort of the SEC fabric that has woven

0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:20.200
<v Speaker 1>into my very being being an SEC fan. It's the

0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:22.640
<v Speaker 1>specialist time tye, it is the specialist.

0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:25.399
<v Speaker 2>Well, thank you to everyone out there for tuning in.

0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:28.959
<v Speaker 2>Happy New Year, Happy twenty eighteen to you and yours

0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:31.160
<v Speaker 2>and wherever you may be. We got a bunch of

0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:33.920
<v Speaker 2>Bowl games that we need to get through this evening,

0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:37.240
<v Speaker 2>not the least of which is the two semi final games,

0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:39.800
<v Speaker 2>all of the New Year six and a bunch of

0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:41.960
<v Speaker 2>other games. Gosh, I even lost count how many other

0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:44.240
<v Speaker 2>ones we got to get through and at least say

0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:47.600
<v Speaker 2>something about to give folks an idea for what's transpired

0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:51.400
<v Speaker 2>here in Bowl season. A quick update on the bull

0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:54.640
<v Speaker 2>pool though, before we jump in and talk about all

0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:55.320
<v Speaker 2>things bulls.

0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:55.920
<v Speaker 1>Did I win?

0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:58.280
<v Speaker 2>No, I didn't win, You didn't win. But we had

0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:01.560
<v Speaker 2>so many entries that the system will not tell us

0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:04.000
<v Speaker 2>how many we have in the solid verbal group. Damn,

0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:07.640
<v Speaker 2>that's pretty good, a literal overload of the ESPN circuits.

0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:09.760
<v Speaker 2>We do have one gentleman who is at the top

0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:14.520
<v Speaker 2>of our leader board titled Happy Holiday Bowl. He is

0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:19.160
<v Speaker 2>tied for thirteenth overall among millions of entries, and then

0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:23.000
<v Speaker 2>another entrant who is tied for forty fifth overall. But

0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:26.440
<v Speaker 2>as a whole, the group doing very well, seemed like

0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:29.639
<v Speaker 2>there was a lot of support for Bowl season. Let's

0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:32.840
<v Speaker 2>get the right picks. Some tribes and failed. But nonetheless

0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:35.120
<v Speaker 2>it's been a I think, a really successful bull season.

0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:38.359
<v Speaker 2>I've enjoyed watching all these games. The other bit of

0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:41.080
<v Speaker 2>housekeeping that we do need to address here before we

0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:45.880
<v Speaker 2>get into our full throated DISCUSSI yeah, especially on a

0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:50.639
<v Speaker 2>daylight today. The live show. Yeah, the live show tickets

0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:52.280
<v Speaker 2>are officially back on sale.

0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:55.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh, not for very much longer, Not for very much.

0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:58.040
<v Speaker 2>Longer, because they're going like hotcakes. But we put them

0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:01.200
<v Speaker 2>on sale earlier today in the afternoon. There are a

0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:03.919
<v Speaker 2>handful left. If you do want to get out there

0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:05.680
<v Speaker 2>and buy them, I would suggest you do that now.

0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:07.880
<v Speaker 2>If you don't have a chance to get them before

0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:11.000
<v Speaker 2>they're sold out. There will be a wait list that appears,

0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:13.920
<v Speaker 2>and sometimes, as these things go, there might be tickets

0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:16.280
<v Speaker 2>that come about a little bit later on the process.

0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:18.560
<v Speaker 2>If you sign up for the wait list, if there

0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:21.760
<v Speaker 2>is an opening, you'll be notified. Yeah, you just got

0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:24.440
<v Speaker 2>to be able to act on it in fairly short order.

0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:27.840
<v Speaker 2>But we appreciate everyone's support. We're still building that show,

0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:32.440
<v Speaker 2>still putting it together. Hopefully I will be at full

0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:34.440
<v Speaker 2>health for someone of the days. We've got a lot

0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:37.240
<v Speaker 2>coming up on Saturday. But what did Brian Kelly do

0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:39.040
<v Speaker 2>to you? Ty? Oh God?

0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:41.360
<v Speaker 1>Were you fined before the Citrus Bowl?

0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:43.920
<v Speaker 2>I was fun. Well, No, it's been a rough go

0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:46.040
<v Speaker 2>for me over the last week. I've broken the world

0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:49.800
<v Speaker 2>record for recolla cough drop consumption in like a forty

0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:50.440
<v Speaker 2>eight hour span.

0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:52.920
<v Speaker 1>They're pretty good. I just heard the I don't know

0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:55.800
<v Speaker 1>if it was the cough drops or if it's chapsick,

0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:59.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, the ones that have a lot of sensation.

0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:02.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it's with like the zinc or

0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:04.680
<v Speaker 1>something like that, or chapstick that really you get that

0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:08.600
<v Speaker 1>tingly sensation. Yeah, I've heard those are legitimately not like

0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:13.560
<v Speaker 1>in passing slangwise, they're legitimately addictive. Great. Oh, and there's

0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:15.360
<v Speaker 1>a new time, Ti, there's a new time for the

0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:15.840
<v Speaker 1>live show.

0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:18.279
<v Speaker 2>Yes, talk to us about that, Dan, what's going on there?

0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:20.320
<v Speaker 1>So we were all set to go seven to nine,

0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:23.680
<v Speaker 1>great classic window of the evening on a Saturday night,

0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:25.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, leaves you a little bit of time to

0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:27.840
<v Speaker 1>eat beforehand, or you can eat a late dinner after whatever.

0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:30.400
<v Speaker 1>Seven to nine felt so right to us and you know,

0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:33.080
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna go get drinks nearby after. And then the

0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:37.120
<v Speaker 1>NFL went ahead and scheduled the local Atlanta Falcons professional

0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:40.000
<v Speaker 1>football team their playoff game at eight fifteen. Square in

0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:43.920
<v Speaker 1>the middle and anticipating that there may be crossover with

0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:47.480
<v Speaker 1>locals that are interested, we moved up our show from

0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:50.400
<v Speaker 1>from seven to nine to six to eight. So doors

0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:52.920
<v Speaker 1>are at five forty five pm. The show will begin

0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:55.359
<v Speaker 1>promptly at six pm. We've got all sorts of friends

0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:58.120
<v Speaker 1>lined up to help out and participate and show up

0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:00.960
<v Speaker 1>on the stage with us, So eight pm is the

0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:03.680
<v Speaker 1>new window. Six pm is when the show begins. Five

0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:06.120
<v Speaker 1>to forty five doors, so we are trying to accommodate

0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:08.400
<v Speaker 1>people who want to go and watch the Falcons game after.

0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:10.120
<v Speaker 1>So here we are six to eight.

0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:12.919
<v Speaker 2>Six to eight is the new time. As you said,

0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:16.000
<v Speaker 2>doors open at five forty five. Gonna be a ton

0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:19.480
<v Speaker 2>of fun. Still putting that show together. We don't want

0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:21.919
<v Speaker 2>to let the lid off it quite yet, but I

0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:24.480
<v Speaker 2>think it's got some real good potential. I'm pretty excited

0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:25.960
<v Speaker 2>about this one. Dan, not gonna lie.

0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:29.360
<v Speaker 1>It's a it's a mixed media experience, that's right, that's right.

0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:32.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, on that note, Dan, shall we get to the playoffs.

0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:40.839
<v Speaker 2>Let's I'm gonna play the sound. I can't do my

0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:43.120
<v Speaker 2>normal bit today. My voice is really struggle.

0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:49.160
<v Speaker 1>I'll do it for you, breaking new Okay there, Wow,

0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:51.039
<v Speaker 1>you are you are a struggle. But you know what

0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:54.560
<v Speaker 1>you are right now? You're you kind of seem like

0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:58.040
<v Speaker 1>the Clemson offense a little bit. You're here, You're you,

0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:02.599
<v Speaker 1>You've shown up, You're your uniform is on, your microphone

0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:05.480
<v Speaker 1>is in front of you. But man, the universe is

0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:06.839
<v Speaker 1>not on your side right now.

0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:10.440
<v Speaker 2>Let's let's start with the Rose Bowl, shall we. Okay,

0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:16.240
<v Speaker 2>let's do that happiness Georgia fifty four Oklahoma forty eight,

0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:20.119
<v Speaker 2>double overtime, Dan, what did we say about this game?

0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:22.520
<v Speaker 1>This is you, ty? I mean I may have agreed

0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:24.760
<v Speaker 1>with you and said that you made sense in your prediction,

0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:27.599
<v Speaker 1>but you hit the rhythm of this game on the nose.

0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:30.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, we had a joint prediction, yes, to start this

0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:33.960
<v Speaker 2>game out, and verbal or Alli rightfully pointed it out

0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:36.680
<v Speaker 2>on Twitter. In fairness, we would have forgotten about it

0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:39.000
<v Speaker 2>had she not pointed it out. But oh yeah, we

0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:41.479
<v Speaker 2>had this little back and forth on the preview show

0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:44.440
<v Speaker 2>where I said to you, Hey, if Oklahoma goes out

0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:48.919
<v Speaker 2>there and scores on three plays and eighty yards on

0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:52.240
<v Speaker 2>their opening possession, would that surprise you? And he said

0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:55.479
<v Speaker 2>a little bit, But six plays eighty yards that that

0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:59.080
<v Speaker 2>seems about right right. Well, and behold we did combine, yeah, lo,

0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:05.000
<v Speaker 2>and behold Oklahoma's opening drive. Six plays, eighty yards, touchdown.

0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:09.000
<v Speaker 2>Oklahoma races out to a seven to nothing lead, then

0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:12.280
<v Speaker 2>twenty one to seven, then thirty one to fourteen. It

0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:14.280
<v Speaker 2>looked like this game could get out a hand in

0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:19.360
<v Speaker 2>a hurry. But then one of those moments where you

0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:22.640
<v Speaker 2>wonder to yourself in the back of your mind, try

0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:25.560
<v Speaker 2>not to see boogieman if they're not there, but just

0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:30.679
<v Speaker 2>kind of wondering, like so, if Oklahoma tries to squib

0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:33.680
<v Speaker 2>a kick here, and let's just say the upman for

0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:39.880
<v Speaker 2>Georgia catches it. After one play, they get into enough

0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:44.880
<v Speaker 2>field goal range for Prodrigo Blanc and shipro Rego Blankenship. Yes,

0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:48.120
<v Speaker 2>always looks like he's incognito. He hits a fifty five

0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:50.760
<v Speaker 2>yard field goal at the end of the first half,

0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:53.920
<v Speaker 2>gives them a little bit of momentum going into halftime.

0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:56.160
<v Speaker 2>The big question was still how are they going to

0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:59.800
<v Speaker 2>stop Oklahoma and their offense in the second half. But

0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:03.040
<v Speaker 2>a little moment like that in a big game like

0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:08.480
<v Speaker 2>this sometimes tends to turn the tide in favor of

0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:11.000
<v Speaker 2>the team that's losing. And I think that was very

0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:13.480
<v Speaker 2>much the case in the Rose Bowl. Oh for sure,

0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:16.360
<v Speaker 2>one percent. It sort of just it gave them a

0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:18.800
<v Speaker 2>little bit of juice. And this was a Georgia team,

0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:21.520
<v Speaker 2>mind you, Even though they were down thirty one to fourteen,

0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:24.720
<v Speaker 2>they were averaging at this point something like fourteen or

0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:27.560
<v Speaker 2>fifteen yards per carry. There was it was some ridiculous

0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:29.880
<v Speaker 2>number because of the long runs from Sony Michelle and

0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:31.840
<v Speaker 2>Nick Chubb. So there had to have been there had

0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:34.040
<v Speaker 2>to be a certain degree of confidence that if we

0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:38.000
<v Speaker 2>just calm down, hand the ball off to our incredibly

0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:41.480
<v Speaker 2>talented running backs, you know, trust our defense. The defense

0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:43.920
<v Speaker 2>obviously tightened up in the second half. Baker Mayfield missed

0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:45.560
<v Speaker 2>more throws than he did in the first half in

0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:47.920
<v Speaker 2>the second there was there had to have been a

0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:51.760
<v Speaker 2>sense of our offensive line is dominating Oklahoma up front,

0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:56.040
<v Speaker 2>they are pushing around the Sooners, and let's just trust

0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:57.640
<v Speaker 2>the obvious talent.

0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:00.240
<v Speaker 1>On the field. And Jake frowm was fine but Jake

0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:03.839
<v Speaker 1>fromm is not what makes this offense go and going

0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:07.160
<v Speaker 1>into the second half, and especially for a second year

0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:10.160
<v Speaker 1>coach and Kirby smartest coach in a number of enormous games, obviously,

0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:16.000
<v Speaker 1>it was good to see a calm composed Georgia team

0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:19.120
<v Speaker 1>not let Oklahoma get this, take this game out of control,

0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:25.320
<v Speaker 1>and just fully snap into place. And that's what Georgia did.

0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:28.320
<v Speaker 1>And they hung around enough to the point where what

0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:32.320
<v Speaker 1>they tied it with how much time left under a minute?

0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:34.600
<v Speaker 1>They tied the game with under a minute left, they

0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:36.600
<v Speaker 1>take it to overtime. There was the blockfield goal that

0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:39.960
<v Speaker 1>ultimately didn't matter because Sony Michelle ran it in i

0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:43.000
<v Speaker 1>think on the second play, and that was that. So

0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:48.280
<v Speaker 1>that strong, strong coaching, that is confidence from Georgia and

0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:52.800
<v Speaker 1>unfortunately for Oklahoma just missing too much on defense and

0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:55.760
<v Speaker 1>Baker Mayfield probably wants three to five throws back.

0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:58.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, and you bring up a really good point.

0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:01.520
<v Speaker 2>Georgia never went into panic mode. No, And it really

0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:05.480
<v Speaker 2>wasn't a case where their offense wasn't working. It's just

0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:08.640
<v Speaker 2>in the first half, Oklahoma's offense was working a lot better.

0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:11.839
<v Speaker 2>And so what happens they come out in the second half,

0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:14.680
<v Speaker 2>they stick to the plan. They keep feeding Sony Michelle

0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:16.679
<v Speaker 2>and Nick Chubb, both of whom, by the way, had

0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:19.360
<v Speaker 2>monster days on the ground. Georgia's a team rushed for

0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:22.120
<v Speaker 2>what was it, three hundred and seventeen yards.

0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:23.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, over nine yards of carry and.

0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:27.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, over nine to carry, something incredible. The truth of

0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:29.680
<v Speaker 2>the matter is that Oklahoma didn't play a team like

0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:31.840
<v Speaker 2>Georgia all year. We talked about it on the preview

0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:35.079
<v Speaker 2>and maybe that's a big part of why we were

0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:37.920
<v Speaker 2>so interested in it. But Kirby smart knew that going

0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:40.640
<v Speaker 2>into the second half. He knew that he still had

0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:43.800
<v Speaker 2>an advantage, still had a game plan that he could execute.

0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:45.600
<v Speaker 2>One of the things that I did want to point

0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:48.080
<v Speaker 2>out as well, I don't know, and I tweeted out

0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:50.920
<v Speaker 2>about this, and apparently it was trending in the Dallas

0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:52.000
<v Speaker 2>Sport Worth area.

0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:52.760
<v Speaker 1>I saw that.

0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:56.160
<v Speaker 2>But the Coach's Film Room on ESPN News, as you know,

0:10:56.200 --> 0:11:00.520
<v Speaker 2>they do these alternate broadcasts on the ESPN Family Networks

0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:03.400
<v Speaker 2>during these championship games, and on ESPN News, they had

0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:05.800
<v Speaker 2>the coach's film room. Yeah, they had a bunch of

0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:08.760
<v Speaker 2>coaches in there, and Gary Patterson was one of them.

0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:11.240
<v Speaker 2>Who of course played Oklahoma twice this year and played

0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:14.320
<v Speaker 2>Kirby Smart last year in the Liberty Bowl. And they

0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:16.600
<v Speaker 2>asked him, what would you do if you were Kirby

0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:19.760
<v Speaker 2>Smart here because Oklahoma they're running their throwing all over you.

0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:23.720
<v Speaker 2>And he said, well, I'd make sure I took something

0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:27.840
<v Speaker 2>away in the second half. And by that he said,

0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:30.600
<v Speaker 2>I either over commit to the run or you over

0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:33.199
<v Speaker 2>commit to the pass, but you take something away from

0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:36.720
<v Speaker 2>Oklahoma and see if you could take them out of rhythm. Yes,

0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:39.240
<v Speaker 2>and just like everything else that Gary Patterson said on

0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:42.400
<v Speaker 2>the broadcast, it was incredible, But just like that, it happened.

0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:44.840
<v Speaker 2>Georgia put more guys in the box, they played more

0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:48.679
<v Speaker 2>man and Oklahoma's second half offense wasn't nearly as successful.

0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:50.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they went they were going horizontal a little bit

0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:52.880
<v Speaker 1>too much. There were a couple of big drops, there

0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:56.720
<v Speaker 1>were a couple of overthrows. It just the rhythm completely

0:11:56.760 --> 0:12:00.120
<v Speaker 1>fell off. When it seemed like because Rodney anders And

0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:04.040
<v Speaker 1>was running well, that they could have sort of added

0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:07.640
<v Speaker 1>wrinkles and not necessarily relied on too much in the

0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:10.760
<v Speaker 1>way of stretching a very fast and angry Georgia defense

0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:13.480
<v Speaker 1>horizontally and it ended up costing them two or three

0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:17.199
<v Speaker 1>drives and ultimately was the difference I think for Oklahoma

0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:23.400
<v Speaker 1>and Georgia, as just great teams do took advantage.

0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:23.880
<v Speaker 2>And then of course he had the fireworks in the

0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:28.320
<v Speaker 2>second half. Yes, forty six yard fumble return, Oklahoma takes

0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:32.400
<v Speaker 2>the lead, A touchdown run ties the game. What fifty

0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:36.079
<v Speaker 2>five seconds left for Georgia, dueling field goals in overtime,

0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:40.960
<v Speaker 2>A blocked field goal for Georgia in dot followed by

0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:44.400
<v Speaker 2>a quick twenty seven yard scamper by Sony Michelle to

0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:47.320
<v Speaker 2>win the game. They going to win this game. I

0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:53.240
<v Speaker 2>guess we're calling a shootout. Oh yeah, fifty four to

0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:56.600
<v Speaker 2>forty eight, an instant classic, just as we predicted here

0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:57.680
<v Speaker 2>on the solid verbal.

0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:01.720
<v Speaker 1>And the least likely going into the game that we

0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:03.320
<v Speaker 1>would anticipate Georgia.

0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:05.560
<v Speaker 2>Winning, right absolutely, going into the game.

0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:08.720
<v Speaker 1>It was sort of an idea of, well, Georgia has

0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:11.600
<v Speaker 1>the more talented defense they have, you know, played a

0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:15.680
<v Speaker 1>more difficult schedule recently in having to play against Auburn

0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:21.520
<v Speaker 1>and Auburn and it just prepared to impose their will.

0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:23.400
<v Speaker 1>I think a little bit more because of how stolid

0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:26.000
<v Speaker 1>they are on both sides of the ball, and for

0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:28.440
<v Speaker 1>them to come out and not just you know, Georgia

0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:30.360
<v Speaker 1>could have smothered them twenty four to ten and everybody

0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:32.880
<v Speaker 1>would have said, yeah, that's about right. They won the

0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:35.480
<v Speaker 1>SEC that way, they're winning this way against a really

0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:38.560
<v Speaker 1>good offense that way. But to win fifty four forty eight,

0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:44.040
<v Speaker 1>I think shows a versatility that we hadn't fully seen

0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:47.520
<v Speaker 1>from the Bulldogs, which sets them up very nicely for

0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:48.640
<v Speaker 1>their opponent.

0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:52.320
<v Speaker 2>Perhaps, speaking of their opponent, let's go on over to

0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:52.920
<v Speaker 2>the Sugar Bowl.

0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:53.880
<v Speaker 1>The later game.

0:13:54.400 --> 0:14:09.320
<v Speaker 2>Alabama twenty four, Clemson six. Daniel Yes, I'm preparing to me. Yeah,

0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:13.439
<v Speaker 2>somewhere in the Webster's New World Dictionary, Yeah, under the

0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:17.880
<v Speaker 2>term crock potting, the slaying term crock potting. They'll just

0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:21.160
<v Speaker 2>have a video, a link to a YouTube video of

0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:21.600
<v Speaker 2>this game.

0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:24.040
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't even a full It was like a defensive

0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:27.400
<v Speaker 1>crock potting more than anything, because it wasn't just slow touchdown,

0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:30.520
<v Speaker 1>hang let a team hang around another slow touchdown. Alabama

0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:34.920
<v Speaker 1>had what one actual in earnest touchdown drive that ended

0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:37.440
<v Speaker 1>with a Calvin Ridley catch, you know, after Jalen Hurts

0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:40.440
<v Speaker 1>extended the play. But the dern pain after he picked

0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:42.880
<v Speaker 1>the ball off that was a short field and then

0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:44.760
<v Speaker 1>Mack Wilson had a pick six. And by the way,

0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:47.600
<v Speaker 1>somebody tweeted me the term for when a defensive lineman

0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:50.040
<v Speaker 1>runs it in in an interception as a thick six,

0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:54.480
<v Speaker 1>and one makes me uncomfortable saying it out loud. I'm

0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:58.160
<v Speaker 1>gonna be real honest with everybody right now. Two. That's brilliant.

0:14:58.320 --> 0:14:59.440
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know if he came up with that.

0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:00.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't know whoever came up with it is a

0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:02.200
<v Speaker 1>very smart and funny person.

0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:03.040
<v Speaker 2>But that's good.

0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:09.080
<v Speaker 1>Yes, Alabama's defense did more in this game to just

0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:13.720
<v Speaker 1>stomp out anything that Clemson tried than I think even

0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:16.840
<v Speaker 1>we expected. And that's you know, everybody has high expectations

0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:19.440
<v Speaker 1>for Alabama's defense, but this is a Clemson offense that

0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:21.800
<v Speaker 1>has moved the ball consistently all season long, not the

0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:24.760
<v Speaker 1>most explosive, but efficiently. You know, they've run really well

0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:27.280
<v Speaker 1>with a couple of top running backs. Kelly Bryant has

0:15:27.320 --> 0:15:29.800
<v Speaker 1>looked very good at times, and it just looked like

0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:32.600
<v Speaker 1>they were throwing into a void. It really did.

0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:35.200
<v Speaker 2>Here's the thing, Yeah, and we talk about it all

0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:38.960
<v Speaker 2>the time with Alabama. If Bama and their defense can

0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:43.080
<v Speaker 2>play too high safeties and still shut down your running games,

0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:46.680
<v Speaker 2>still get pressure on your quarterback. It's basically over right.

0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:49.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going to delve too deeply into what that

0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:52.680
<v Speaker 2>means schematically, but let's just say in layman terms, it

0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:55.800
<v Speaker 2>means that Bama can play a defense where it's not

0:15:55.920 --> 0:15:59.120
<v Speaker 2>taking many chances and still able to shut down an opponent.

0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:02.080
<v Speaker 2>And that's essentially what happen against Clemson. It's been a

0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:05.680
<v Speaker 2>constant for Nick Saban and Alabama over the years that

0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:08.320
<v Speaker 2>he's been with them at the Helm. And look at

0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:11.600
<v Speaker 2>the numbers, that's essentially what happened. Oh yeah, one hundred

0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:15.120
<v Speaker 2>and eighty eight total yards for Clemson's offense. A pretty

0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:18.840
<v Speaker 2>good offense, I'll add, Yeah, Kelly Bryant three point four

0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:22.080
<v Speaker 2>yards per attempt through two picks. God, couldn't get anything

0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:24.960
<v Speaker 2>going on the ground and nineteen carries for I think

0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:25.880
<v Speaker 2>nineteen yards.

0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:30.520
<v Speaker 1>That's with a twenty yard run. Tie. Yeah, It's it

0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:33.280
<v Speaker 1>was rough. It was rough to watch Clemson. It was

0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:36.960
<v Speaker 1>it was like Clemson was down an age level, watching

0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:38.920
<v Speaker 1>like a youth sports, like should they be on the

0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:41.440
<v Speaker 1>same should they? Is this right? Are we on the

0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:45.680
<v Speaker 1>right field and Alabama. And it wasn't even an attacking

0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:48.760
<v Speaker 1>Alabama defense. They weren't sending a ton of pressure. As

0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:51.560
<v Speaker 1>you mentioned, they have two high safeties. It was just

0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:54.280
<v Speaker 1>reading and reacting, just saying we know exactly the spot

0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:56.600
<v Speaker 1>you were trying to throw to or run to. They

0:16:56.640 --> 0:16:59.800
<v Speaker 1>look so prepared. They won what seemed like everyone on

0:16:59.800 --> 0:17:02.800
<v Speaker 1>one matchup on defense. And listen, Jalen Hurts didn't have

0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:05.960
<v Speaker 1>a good game. He was accurate enough, but he didn't

0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:08.840
<v Speaker 1>throw the ball downfield with any sort of consistency. This

0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:12.960
<v Speaker 1>was not like a complete performance from Alabama. Again, one

0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:17.199
<v Speaker 1>true offensive touchdown drive. It was not you know, it

0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:20.760
<v Speaker 1>was not a display of offense here for the Tide.

0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:24.920
<v Speaker 1>But man, that defense is now. It is the best

0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:27.639
<v Speaker 1>thing in the National Championship game. I don't know that

0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:32.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm excited about this National Championship game, but it is

0:17:32.240 --> 0:17:35.200
<v Speaker 1>very clear that these are the two best and most

0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:39.280
<v Speaker 1>deserving teams. And I'll have a UCF conversation and we

0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:41.960
<v Speaker 1>can have that in a few minutes. Just in seeing

0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:44.920
<v Speaker 1>the number of ways that Georgia was able to take

0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:48.159
<v Speaker 1>it to eventually take it to Oklahoma, and what Alabama's

0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:50.159
<v Speaker 1>defense was able to do to this Clemson team and

0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:53.359
<v Speaker 1>whether a very good Clemson defense themselves. These are the

0:17:53.359 --> 0:17:54.040
<v Speaker 1>best two teams.

0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:57.840
<v Speaker 2>At one point early in the game too, Clemson's average

0:17:58.640 --> 0:18:03.440
<v Speaker 2>starting field position was something like its own seventeen yard line. Yeah,

0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:06.000
<v Speaker 2>and Bama's was the forty one yard line. I didn't

0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:09.280
<v Speaker 2>see the final number. I'm sure it changed, but certainly

0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:12.040
<v Speaker 2>not enough to tilt things in Clemson's favor. It felt

0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:14.320
<v Speaker 2>like they had their backs to the wall the entire game.

0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:17.119
<v Speaker 2>That's not really a good spot to be in. And

0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:20.600
<v Speaker 2>ultimately Bama does Bama does. They changed the game with

0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:24.080
<v Speaker 2>some big defensive plays. They get some turnovers, that's just

0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:24.520
<v Speaker 2>what they do.

0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:28.200
<v Speaker 1>They didn't have to show a lot because they were

0:18:28.280 --> 0:18:29.119
<v Speaker 1>so prepared.

0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:34.200
<v Speaker 2>Twenty four to six. Oh, your final score in the

0:18:34.240 --> 0:18:37.840
<v Speaker 2>Sugar Bowl, which means that we've got Alabama Georgia an

0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:42.520
<v Speaker 2>All SEC contest On Monday, January eighth, in the College

0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:46.400
<v Speaker 2>Football Playoff National Championship Game. Bama has been installed as

0:18:46.440 --> 0:18:49.200
<v Speaker 2>a four and a half point favorite. You're over under

0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:52.600
<v Speaker 2>is at forty five and a half, so sort of

0:18:52.680 --> 0:18:53.760
<v Speaker 2>like an NFL game.

0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:56.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and let's also celebrate the fact that Deron Payne

0:18:56.440 --> 0:18:59.520
<v Speaker 1>was in this game and oh ridiculous force. Just I

0:18:59.560 --> 0:19:02.280
<v Speaker 1>don't know how well as somebody on the Pisman board.

0:19:02.560 --> 0:19:07.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how we treat a postseason extremely great

0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:11.199
<v Speaker 1>Pisman moment when it's between seasons. To have a to

0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:13.560
<v Speaker 1>the combination of a pick and then a catch and

0:19:13.640 --> 0:19:16.359
<v Speaker 1>sort of tiptoe in the front corner of the end zone.

0:19:16.600 --> 0:19:20.840
<v Speaker 1>What a wonderful, wonderful part of an otherwise not great

0:19:20.920 --> 0:19:24.359
<v Speaker 1>offensive game. Indeed, are you excited for next Monday's game?

0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:26.879
<v Speaker 1>Like in terms of pure and I'm not even talking

0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:30.199
<v Speaker 1>about narrative wise necessarily with oh, Jake fromm is a

0:19:30.200 --> 0:19:33.199
<v Speaker 1>true freshman, Oh can Jalen Hurts sort of avenge his

0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:35.440
<v Speaker 1>performance a very good performance mind you last year and

0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:40.080
<v Speaker 1>a loss with a new offensive coordinator, with Georgia hiring

0:19:40.240 --> 0:19:43.600
<v Speaker 1>Derby Smart and Alabama and just is there from a

0:19:43.880 --> 0:19:46.960
<v Speaker 1>pure football perspective. But we're going to preview this game

0:19:47.040 --> 0:19:49.320
<v Speaker 1>later in the week, both ourselves and with some pals.

0:19:50.400 --> 0:19:53.880
<v Speaker 1>Are you like, are you excited? And I don't want

0:19:53.920 --> 0:19:56.240
<v Speaker 1>to be leading with that question, because it's totally okay

0:19:56.320 --> 0:19:57.720
<v Speaker 1>to be excited. I should add.

0:19:57.600 --> 0:20:02.639
<v Speaker 2>I'll say this, I think the storylines surrounding the game

0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:08.600
<v Speaker 2>are more amusing more interesting than the actual football game. Yeah,

0:20:08.680 --> 0:20:12.160
<v Speaker 2>I think out on the field, unless you're really into

0:20:13.040 --> 0:20:18.159
<v Speaker 2>a defensive slugfest smash mouth football. Honestly, if you're not

0:20:18.320 --> 0:20:22.160
<v Speaker 2>watching the coaches film room next Monday night, you're probably

0:20:22.200 --> 0:20:24.560
<v Speaker 2>missing out because I think you'll get more action watching

0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:27.760
<v Speaker 2>that feed than you would by watching Fowler in Herbstreet.

0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:30.159
<v Speaker 1>You know, there's a certain amount of excitement that's lost

0:20:30.359 --> 0:20:33.000
<v Speaker 1>in watching the coaches feed, and there's a certain amount

0:20:33.000 --> 0:20:35.960
<v Speaker 1>of knowledge that's gained watching it, and just a perspective,

0:20:36.000 --> 0:20:39.040
<v Speaker 1>a viewpoint that you wouldn't have otherwise hearing from Garry

0:20:39.080 --> 0:20:42.080
<v Speaker 1>Patterson or Dino Babers or Larry fedor or whatever. But

0:20:43.240 --> 0:20:45.760
<v Speaker 1>I think I will still opt for the energy of

0:20:45.800 --> 0:20:50.560
<v Speaker 1>the actual broadcasts, just because I anticipated being pretty close,

0:20:51.000 --> 0:20:54.919
<v Speaker 1>and honestly, the football not generating a ton, especially the

0:20:54.920 --> 0:20:57.560
<v Speaker 1>offense not generating a ton of energy. I don't know

0:20:57.600 --> 0:21:00.720
<v Speaker 1>that Jake from is somebody that me in the same

0:21:00.720 --> 0:21:03.679
<v Speaker 1>way that Shaun Watson or Chad Kelly or Johnny Manziel,

0:21:03.720 --> 0:21:06.920
<v Speaker 1>guys who have had success against Alabama's defense in recent year.

0:21:07.160 --> 0:21:10.200
<v Speaker 1>You know, and listen, we've probably been wrong about Jake

0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:13.679
<v Speaker 1>From a Baker's dozen. You know so many times this

0:21:13.760 --> 0:21:15.720
<v Speaker 1>year that were like, well, he's a true he's a

0:21:15.720 --> 0:21:18.960
<v Speaker 1>true freshman, but he's kind of not at this point.

0:21:19.000 --> 0:21:21.560
<v Speaker 1>He's played whatever it is, twelve thirteen games started, twelve

0:21:21.640 --> 0:21:25.240
<v Speaker 1>or thirteen games since that Notre Dame game. And will

0:21:25.280 --> 0:21:27.960
<v Speaker 1>he have the stones to sort of throw down the

0:21:28.000 --> 0:21:31.919
<v Speaker 1>middle on third and fifteen against this Alabama defense? I

0:21:31.920 --> 0:21:35.920
<v Speaker 1>think so. Yeah. I'm curious to see what his game

0:21:36.000 --> 0:21:39.120
<v Speaker 1>is like because Alabama is clearly going to force Jake

0:21:39.160 --> 0:21:43.000
<v Speaker 1>From at times to beat them. But I really do

0:21:43.119 --> 0:21:46.520
<v Speaker 1>lean on quarterback play as the biggest thing to get

0:21:46.520 --> 0:21:48.720
<v Speaker 1>me excited about a matchup in Jalen Hurts and Jake

0:21:48.760 --> 0:21:52.080
<v Speaker 1>From just compared to where we've been these past few years,

0:21:52.240 --> 0:21:54.560
<v Speaker 1>it's I'm going to need to be talked into it

0:21:54.560 --> 0:21:55.639
<v Speaker 1>a little bit, I think.

0:21:55.760 --> 0:21:58.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And I mean, ultimately we'll talk ourselves into it.

0:21:58.119 --> 0:22:02.280
<v Speaker 2>It's college football. Oh yeah, I'm excited from the standpoint

0:22:02.280 --> 0:22:04.480
<v Speaker 2>that Georgia hasn't been in this game in a long time.

0:22:04.840 --> 0:22:08.240
<v Speaker 1>Sure, absolutely, And it's a sort of de facto home game, de.

0:22:08.320 --> 0:22:10.840
<v Speaker 2>Facto home game. I'm excited for Georgia. I'm excited for

0:22:10.880 --> 0:22:14.320
<v Speaker 2>their fan base, and I think if you're Georgia, the

0:22:14.359 --> 0:22:17.760
<v Speaker 2>team that you want to play is Alabama, not because

0:22:17.800 --> 0:22:20.480
<v Speaker 2>they're the easier of the two opponents you could have played,

0:22:20.880 --> 0:22:23.600
<v Speaker 2>but just because if you win, you could say, Wow,

0:22:23.600 --> 0:22:27.080
<v Speaker 2>we beat Alabama. Yeah, what a charm season we had.

0:22:27.600 --> 0:22:30.720
<v Speaker 2>So I will talk myself into it as well. I'll

0:22:30.720 --> 0:22:33.879
<v Speaker 2>tell you this, I'm more excited about this game between

0:22:33.920 --> 0:22:38.480
<v Speaker 2>two SEC teams than I was Alabama LSU Part two.

0:22:38.680 --> 0:22:40.959
<v Speaker 1>I think that's fair. That was nine to six overtime

0:22:41.520 --> 0:22:44.080
<v Speaker 1>and this was This is not a rerun. You know,

0:22:44.119 --> 0:22:48.040
<v Speaker 1>Alabama Georgia didn't happen during the regular season. How do

0:22:48.080 --> 0:22:50.200
<v Speaker 1>you feel about that in general? Not to get to

0:22:50.440 --> 0:22:53.399
<v Speaker 1>like issue big picture, but we have a lot of

0:22:53.400 --> 0:22:56.080
<v Speaker 1>bowl games to get through. But the fact that we

0:22:56.119 --> 0:22:58.439
<v Speaker 1>have two SEC teams, I mean, we knew it was

0:22:58.440 --> 0:23:01.240
<v Speaker 1>a possibility with two teams in the play off. Now

0:23:01.240 --> 0:23:03.679
<v Speaker 1>that we are going into this game where we have

0:23:03.760 --> 0:23:07.320
<v Speaker 1>this hyper regional matchup of the clear two best teams, Yeah,

0:23:07.880 --> 0:23:12.240
<v Speaker 1>is this capital G good for college football? For TV?

0:23:12.520 --> 0:23:13.399
<v Speaker 1>For your brain?

0:23:14.520 --> 0:23:17.159
<v Speaker 2>I think is this good is the wrong question and

0:23:17.200 --> 0:23:19.600
<v Speaker 2>I hate to reframe it on you, but this is

0:23:19.640 --> 0:23:22.640
<v Speaker 2>the way a playoff works. The best team wins and

0:23:22.800 --> 0:23:26.400
<v Speaker 2>You're not wrong. You know, unlike the old BCS system

0:23:26.960 --> 0:23:30.640
<v Speaker 2>or the old old Traditional Bowl system where people voted

0:23:31.160 --> 0:23:35.760
<v Speaker 2>their favorites into a particular game, this is what happens.

0:23:35.800 --> 0:23:39.400
<v Speaker 2>The best team wins. You don't have control over which

0:23:39.440 --> 0:23:42.359
<v Speaker 2>region wins out. And in this case, the SEC has

0:23:42.359 --> 0:23:45.600
<v Speaker 2>two teams in it. They made it through, so you know,

0:23:45.640 --> 0:23:48.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't care if it's good. Quite honestly, the best

0:23:48.280 --> 0:23:50.639
<v Speaker 2>two teams won. I think it'll be a hell of

0:23:50.680 --> 0:23:55.560
<v Speaker 2>a fight on Monday night, a defensive oriented game, and

0:23:55.960 --> 0:23:57.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, we'll see who comes out to victor.

0:23:57.400 --> 0:23:59.560
<v Speaker 1>I think I mostly agree with you at a certain

0:23:59.640 --> 0:24:04.240
<v Speaker 1>point when people talk about needing to win their conference

0:24:04.320 --> 0:24:06.800
<v Speaker 1>or being their conference championship. It's a little funny to

0:24:06.840 --> 0:24:09.879
<v Speaker 1>me that Georgia had to play next game and Alabama didn't,

0:24:10.320 --> 0:24:13.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, But that's the sport that we talk about,

0:24:13.080 --> 0:24:17.399
<v Speaker 1>this ridiculous, ridiculous pastime. But there is there's a slight

0:24:17.440 --> 0:24:20.119
<v Speaker 1>disappointment to me, not that these are the two teams

0:24:20.119 --> 0:24:22.600
<v Speaker 1>in it because I want the best two teams, just

0:24:22.680 --> 0:24:25.480
<v Speaker 1>that it's not more representative that the national part of

0:24:25.560 --> 0:24:29.720
<v Speaker 1>national championship. Yeah, Like it's disappointing to me that USC

0:24:29.920 --> 0:24:34.280
<v Speaker 1>or some or Washington or Oklahoma or Ohio State. Wasn't

0:24:34.560 --> 0:24:36.760
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more, wasn't a little better, wasn't a

0:24:36.800 --> 0:24:39.600
<v Speaker 1>little bit more consistent, didn't get better quarterback played through

0:24:39.600 --> 0:24:41.959
<v Speaker 1>the course of the season. Because I really do think

0:24:42.000 --> 0:24:46.440
<v Speaker 1>there's something special about like, you know, Midwest, South, Southwest, west, Southeast.

0:24:46.440 --> 0:24:48.360
<v Speaker 1>You know there is you know, if we had that

0:24:48.520 --> 0:24:52.439
<v Speaker 1>sort of matchup, there is something intrinsically, to my mind,

0:24:52.680 --> 0:24:55.280
<v Speaker 1>more attractive about it. But these are the best two teams.

0:24:55.320 --> 0:24:58.199
<v Speaker 1>I can't actually complain. This is just sort of like

0:24:58.640 --> 0:25:00.000
<v Speaker 1>in a perfect world type company.

0:25:00.280 --> 0:25:03.720
<v Speaker 2>We've had two teams play for a national championship from

0:25:03.760 --> 0:25:07.280
<v Speaker 2>the same basketball conference before. Yeah, and it's not always

0:25:07.320 --> 0:25:09.720
<v Speaker 2>the most exciting matchup, Dan, But that's just sort of

0:25:09.760 --> 0:25:12.320
<v Speaker 2>the way the cookie crumbles. Let's get to the other

0:25:13.160 --> 0:25:14.960
<v Speaker 2>New Year's six games. As he said, we're going to

0:25:15.000 --> 0:25:19.600
<v Speaker 2>preview the championship on Friday when our next podcast drops's

0:25:19.600 --> 0:25:22.440
<v Speaker 2>talk about the Cotton Bowl Classic, shall we? Oh I'd

0:25:22.440 --> 0:25:28.280
<v Speaker 2>love to Ohio State twenty four USC seven, Dan, mm hmm.

0:25:29.040 --> 0:25:32.680
<v Speaker 2>I would say that it was clear that Ohio State

0:25:32.720 --> 0:25:36.920
<v Speaker 2>was a better team. Here, is that fair? I would say, so? Yeah,

0:25:36.960 --> 0:25:42.560
<v Speaker 2>four turnovers for USC, three of which led to twenty one.

0:25:42.800 --> 0:25:46.360
<v Speaker 2>I think of Ohio State's twenty four points a good

0:25:46.400 --> 0:25:48.640
<v Speaker 2>game for J T. Barrett. He broke some records from

0:25:48.720 --> 0:25:52.800
<v Speaker 2>Drew Brees. Sam Darnold, for his part, put up good

0:25:52.840 --> 0:25:55.159
<v Speaker 2>numbers in the game, and I thought he showed a

0:25:55.200 --> 0:25:57.800
<v Speaker 2>lot about what he's all about, the good and the bad.

0:25:57.880 --> 0:26:02.119
<v Speaker 2>Really Yeah, high character kid, great teammate, great talent, but

0:26:02.720 --> 0:26:04.560
<v Speaker 2>has to develop a little bit with those second and

0:26:04.600 --> 0:26:07.400
<v Speaker 2>third reads. He's just not there yet. It probably would

0:26:07.440 --> 0:26:09.480
<v Speaker 2>benefit him greatly to stay in school another year. But

0:26:09.840 --> 0:26:11.400
<v Speaker 2>what was your takeaway from this game?

0:26:11.720 --> 0:26:14.440
<v Speaker 1>USC can out talent pretty much everybody on their schedule.

0:26:14.640 --> 0:26:18.359
<v Speaker 1>It's very difficult to out talent Ohio State, and the

0:26:18.400 --> 0:26:21.399
<v Speaker 1>offensive line was completely overwhelmed. Sam Darnold was able to

0:26:21.440 --> 0:26:24.160
<v Speaker 1>make plays all season long, you know, escaping the grasp

0:26:24.240 --> 0:26:27.360
<v Speaker 1>of defensive linemen. It's a different story with Sam Hubbard

0:26:27.359 --> 0:26:29.560
<v Speaker 1>and Taekwon Lewis and you know Nick bos all these

0:26:29.600 --> 0:26:33.840
<v Speaker 1>types of talents where you actually have to be consistently

0:26:33.920 --> 0:26:38.159
<v Speaker 1>and fundamentally sound to beat a front that good. And

0:26:38.400 --> 0:26:40.920
<v Speaker 1>USC's offensive line was mostly not up to the challenge.

0:26:41.520 --> 0:26:45.439
<v Speaker 1>And I was so happy that I basically I was

0:26:45.440 --> 0:26:49.360
<v Speaker 1>flying during the big chunk of this game from Chicago

0:26:49.400 --> 0:26:51.280
<v Speaker 1>back to New York. I was thrilled that I only

0:26:51.280 --> 0:26:54.120
<v Speaker 1>had to watch the first half. I was thrilled because

0:26:54.119 --> 0:26:55.359
<v Speaker 1>it seemed like, and I don't know if you're a

0:26:55.359 --> 0:26:58.320
<v Speaker 1>poker player, I'm definitely not, but I know there is

0:26:58.960 --> 0:27:01.360
<v Speaker 1>a move where if you're just if you just keep

0:27:01.400 --> 0:27:03.960
<v Speaker 1>playing and nobody's winning and nobody's winning, that at a

0:27:04.000 --> 0:27:06.679
<v Speaker 1>certain point you like split a pot, you just like

0:27:06.720 --> 0:27:08.720
<v Speaker 1>you just call it. That's what it seemed like the

0:27:08.760 --> 0:27:10.679
<v Speaker 1>offenses did in the second half. We're just like, you

0:27:10.680 --> 0:27:12.600
<v Speaker 1>know what, why don't we just why don't we just

0:27:12.640 --> 0:27:15.840
<v Speaker 1>agreed to disagree about offense and move forward. It's twenty

0:27:15.880 --> 0:27:18.640
<v Speaker 1>four to seven. Let's go our own separate ways. And

0:27:19.440 --> 0:27:23.200
<v Speaker 1>just a fantastic defensive year outside of that Iowa game

0:27:23.480 --> 0:27:25.840
<v Speaker 1>for and maybe the Oklahoma game for Ohio State. All

0:27:25.880 --> 0:27:27.640
<v Speaker 1>the talent in the world up front, and they showed

0:27:27.640 --> 0:27:32.359
<v Speaker 1>it against USC. And I imagine if sam Donold comes back,

0:27:32.520 --> 0:27:35.240
<v Speaker 1>there will be, you know, all aboard. The hype train

0:27:35.280 --> 0:27:38.919
<v Speaker 1>will continue for USC right up until they have to

0:27:38.960 --> 0:27:42.040
<v Speaker 1>play a team, you know that can expose a lot

0:27:42.040 --> 0:27:42.639
<v Speaker 1>of their weakness.

0:27:43.440 --> 0:27:45.800
<v Speaker 2>A very good season for Ohio State. Phil just shot

0:27:45.960 --> 0:27:50.040
<v Speaker 2>the playoff, but I think they went out very strongly here,

0:27:50.560 --> 0:27:53.359
<v Speaker 2>especially for JT. Barrett, who had an illustrious career at

0:27:53.400 --> 0:27:57.000
<v Speaker 2>Ohio State. So they win going away by a twenty

0:27:57.000 --> 0:28:01.280
<v Speaker 2>four to seven final in the PlayStation Feel Festiball another

0:28:01.400 --> 0:28:03.280
<v Speaker 2>triumph for the Big Ten. It was a big Bowl

0:28:03.359 --> 0:28:06.080
<v Speaker 2>season for the Big Ten. They went seven to one.

0:28:06.160 --> 0:28:10.359
<v Speaker 2>Michigan was the only loss. Penn State beats Washington in

0:28:10.400 --> 0:28:13.160
<v Speaker 2>a really fun game. I thought, thirty five to twenty eight.

0:28:13.840 --> 0:28:17.119
<v Speaker 2>Trace mcsorely, I thought was the big story.

0:28:17.680 --> 0:28:18.120
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmm.

0:28:18.600 --> 0:28:21.239
<v Speaker 2>Everyone was talking about Reequon and rightfully so. He had

0:28:21.280 --> 0:28:23.439
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and seventy five yards of two touchdowns and

0:28:23.840 --> 0:28:26.760
<v Speaker 2>looked every bit as good as advertised if you hadn't

0:28:26.800 --> 0:28:30.880
<v Speaker 2>seen him previously. Trace mcsorely, in the words of tight

0:28:30.960 --> 0:28:34.919
<v Speaker 2>end Hans Gaseki, was quote literally perfect on third downs

0:28:35.480 --> 0:28:38.760
<v Speaker 2>twelve for twelve, passing one ninety three through the air

0:28:38.760 --> 0:28:39.640
<v Speaker 2>and two touchdowns.

0:28:40.720 --> 0:28:44.040
<v Speaker 1>He was unconscious. It was I mean, if we'll stay

0:28:44.080 --> 0:28:46.920
<v Speaker 1>with the uh and it's not fair to stay with

0:28:47.000 --> 0:28:49.560
<v Speaker 1>the casino theme with poker, but you know, he's at

0:28:49.560 --> 0:28:51.920
<v Speaker 1>a table and everything is just going his way. He

0:28:52.000 --> 0:28:54.680
<v Speaker 1>keeps rolling sevens like, and it's not. It wasn't a

0:28:54.760 --> 0:28:56.560
<v Speaker 1>luck thing. Can you roll sevens in poker?

0:28:56.560 --> 0:28:57.160
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know that.

0:28:57.280 --> 0:29:00.760
<v Speaker 1>No, not in poker, in a casino. Okay, there was

0:29:00.880 --> 0:29:06.040
<v Speaker 1>just Trace McSorley on third down, just honed in and well,

0:29:06.040 --> 0:29:07.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what the final Penn state looks like.

0:29:08.000 --> 0:29:12.080
<v Speaker 1>It says thirteen of seventeen on third down. That's that's

0:29:12.120 --> 0:29:16.720
<v Speaker 1>absurd in any game, in any situation, against any team.

0:29:16.760 --> 0:29:19.120
<v Speaker 1>To do it against a very good Washington defense, which,

0:29:19.200 --> 0:29:22.440
<v Speaker 1>by the way, I think you tweeted out after Saquan's

0:29:22.480 --> 0:29:26.120
<v Speaker 1>long run was like vaunted Washington defense HU something along

0:29:26.160 --> 0:29:28.160
<v Speaker 1>those lines. So it's twenty eight seven at that then.

0:29:28.160 --> 0:29:29.920
<v Speaker 2>They forced like three turnovers after that.

0:29:30.200 --> 0:29:32.160
<v Speaker 1>From that point on, I think it was twenty one

0:29:32.280 --> 0:29:32.680
<v Speaker 1>seven one.

0:29:32.760 --> 0:29:34.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, don't think I wasn't biting my lip a little bit.

0:29:34.720 --> 0:29:37.800
<v Speaker 1>Washing that game. Yeah, it was. The timing was I

0:29:37.840 --> 0:29:40.600
<v Speaker 1>was ready if Washington had tied it and sent it,

0:29:40.640 --> 0:29:43.040
<v Speaker 1>because they had they were there close. Dante Petis threw

0:29:43.400 --> 0:29:47.720
<v Speaker 1>an interception lateral something on that on that final play,

0:29:48.400 --> 0:29:50.640
<v Speaker 1>it would have been twenty eight seven, and then twenty

0:29:50.680 --> 0:29:53.440
<v Speaker 1>eight seven it would have been wonderful your tweet interrupting

0:29:54.040 --> 0:29:54.520
<v Speaker 1>story if.

0:29:54.400 --> 0:29:56.240
<v Speaker 2>You always take a chance with stuff like that.

0:29:56.360 --> 0:30:00.600
<v Speaker 1>True, Yeah, but no, and especially no Joe moorehead. And

0:30:00.640 --> 0:30:03.120
<v Speaker 1>I Watchington was down offensive coaches as well, but no

0:30:03.240 --> 0:30:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Joe moorehead for Trace McSorley to look so confident early on,

0:30:07.160 --> 0:30:10.240
<v Speaker 1>that early script for Penn State was fantastic Dayshawn Hamilton

0:30:10.760 --> 0:30:12.960
<v Speaker 1>was all over the place, was you know, sort of

0:30:13.040 --> 0:30:16.240
<v Speaker 1>unguardable for chunks of this game. I was super impressed

0:30:16.280 --> 0:30:18.160
<v Speaker 1>with the way Penn State finished out this season. I

0:30:18.200 --> 0:30:20.200
<v Speaker 1>know this might be a what could have been type

0:30:20.240 --> 0:30:24.040
<v Speaker 1>scenario for Penn State fans, but not insignificant. To win

0:30:24.080 --> 0:30:26.480
<v Speaker 1>eleven games and finish as a top ten team.

0:30:26.680 --> 0:30:27.000
<v Speaker 2>It was.

0:30:27.440 --> 0:30:29.440
<v Speaker 1>It was a real It was a mostly great year

0:30:29.800 --> 0:30:30.720
<v Speaker 1>for the Nitinny Lions.

0:30:30.800 --> 0:30:33.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and you know, they lose Saquon and they lose

0:30:33.280 --> 0:30:37.440
<v Speaker 2>some key members of their defense. But I think by

0:30:37.520 --> 0:30:40.960
<v Speaker 2>and large, Penn State should again be in pretty good

0:30:40.960 --> 0:30:44.040
<v Speaker 2>position next year because Trace is coming back, they get

0:30:44.080 --> 0:30:46.640
<v Speaker 2>a lot of their offensive line back. I think the

0:30:46.840 --> 0:30:49.880
<v Speaker 2>bones are in place to continue on what they've done

0:30:49.880 --> 0:30:52.720
<v Speaker 2>the last two seasons. And Ricky Ronnie their new offensive

0:30:52.720 --> 0:30:55.480
<v Speaker 2>coordinator with the exception of a lot of shuffle passes

0:30:55.480 --> 0:30:58.320
<v Speaker 2>which I didn't fully understand. That was strange, That was strange,

0:30:58.400 --> 0:31:01.280
<v Speaker 2>didn't fully get that. But with the exception that I

0:31:01.360 --> 0:31:04.440
<v Speaker 2>thought he showed a nice proclivity to go for the throat,

0:31:04.760 --> 0:31:06.680
<v Speaker 2>to carry over a lot of the same concepts that

0:31:06.720 --> 0:31:09.640
<v Speaker 2>we saw under Joe moorehead. So I'm very encouraged about

0:31:09.640 --> 0:31:10.920
<v Speaker 2>where this team goes now moving form.

0:31:10.920 --> 0:31:14.040
<v Speaker 1>And he's not just interim. He was promoted, promoted from within, correct,

0:31:14.360 --> 0:31:20.400
<v Speaker 1>promoted from within. Next year schedule looks pretty fantastic. It's

0:31:20.400 --> 0:31:23.360
<v Speaker 1>not bad. Most of the tough games are at home. Yeah,

0:31:23.360 --> 0:31:25.440
<v Speaker 1>the tough games are at home. It's app State at

0:31:25.480 --> 0:31:28.520
<v Speaker 1>pitt Kent State. It's not good at Illinois. I mean,

0:31:28.720 --> 0:31:31.600
<v Speaker 1>here are the big ten road games at Illinois, at Indiana,

0:31:31.920 --> 0:31:35.520
<v Speaker 1>at Michigan, at Rutgers. Yeah, all things considered, you'd take

0:31:35.560 --> 0:31:37.280
<v Speaker 1>that if it's workable. For sure.

0:31:37.440 --> 0:31:40.600
<v Speaker 2>Penn State wins thirty five to twenty eight over Washington

0:31:40.640 --> 0:31:45.080
<v Speaker 2>and the Fiesta Bowl Capitol One, Orange Bowl Dan Wisconsin

0:31:45.320 --> 0:31:48.680
<v Speaker 2>thirty four, Miami twenty seven. I think I've made it

0:31:48.720 --> 0:31:51.560
<v Speaker 2>pretty well known that I am not very horny for

0:31:51.600 --> 0:31:54.120
<v Speaker 2>Alex Fornybrook. Wow.

0:31:54.360 --> 0:31:58.080
<v Speaker 1>I've got some surprising and shocking news for your loins. Tie.

0:31:58.960 --> 0:31:59.200
<v Speaker 2>He was.

0:31:59.240 --> 0:31:59.880
<v Speaker 1>He was real good.

0:32:00.120 --> 0:32:04.360
<v Speaker 2>Four touchdown passes for Alex Hornybrook two hundred and fifty

0:32:04.360 --> 0:32:07.240
<v Speaker 2>eight yards in a big game, sort of a road

0:32:07.320 --> 0:32:10.040
<v Speaker 2>game all things consider given the fact that it was

0:32:10.080 --> 0:32:13.640
<v Speaker 2>played on Miami's home field. Yeah, a great effort from him.

0:32:14.080 --> 0:32:17.000
<v Speaker 2>He wasn't always as responsible with the ball this season.

0:32:17.360 --> 0:32:21.400
<v Speaker 1>But no, especially against a defense as fast and turnover

0:32:21.440 --> 0:32:22.640
<v Speaker 1>happy as Miami's.

0:32:22.680 --> 0:32:24.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but I mean, what can you say? He had

0:32:24.440 --> 0:32:28.960
<v Speaker 2>a great performance in this game. He propels Wisconsin to victory. Here,

0:32:29.440 --> 0:32:32.200
<v Speaker 2>another triumph for the Big Ten. Wisconsin held the ball

0:32:32.240 --> 0:32:36.560
<v Speaker 2>for almost forty minutes. They made Malik Rosier force balls

0:32:36.600 --> 0:32:40.040
<v Speaker 2>into coverage, which had predictable results, three interceptions for him,

0:32:40.640 --> 0:32:45.960
<v Speaker 2>and you know, Wisconsin again relies on its defense to

0:32:46.080 --> 0:32:48.560
<v Speaker 2>help spin things in their favor, and then they get

0:32:48.600 --> 0:32:50.000
<v Speaker 2>a really good game out of Hornybrook.

0:32:50.600 --> 0:32:54.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I imagine Malik Rogier looking into the Wisconsin secondary

0:32:54.040 --> 0:32:57.040
<v Speaker 1>and just pass defense in general, probably saw fifteen guys

0:32:57.080 --> 0:32:59.720
<v Speaker 1>back there. Yeah like that. There were just so many

0:32:59.840 --> 0:33:03.080
<v Speaker 1>was Conston Jerseys swarming to the ball in every lane

0:33:03.640 --> 0:33:06.680
<v Speaker 1>and again, a sort of tribute to the job that

0:33:07.000 --> 0:33:08.880
<v Speaker 1>and it's not just Jim Leonard, but Jim Leonard this

0:33:08.960 --> 0:33:11.480
<v Speaker 1>season and the job you know, Justin Wilcox did before

0:33:11.560 --> 0:33:14.120
<v Speaker 1>him and Dave Randon did before that. The continuity of

0:33:14.680 --> 0:33:18.960
<v Speaker 1>just very good defenses in Madison has been incredibly impressive.

0:33:19.040 --> 0:33:21.719
<v Speaker 1>And Jonathan Taylor tailback going for what dan near two

0:33:21.800 --> 0:33:23.280
<v Speaker 1>thousand yards? This is a true freshman.

0:33:23.400 --> 0:33:23.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:33:23.640 --> 0:33:27.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, just a ridiculous year from Wisconsin. And obviously Miami

0:33:27.840 --> 0:33:30.959
<v Speaker 1>playing through a number of key injuries on offense, but

0:33:31.280 --> 0:33:33.560
<v Speaker 1>this was and it was a game. This was what

0:33:33.640 --> 0:33:36.520
<v Speaker 1>twenty seven to twenty four in the fourth quarter, It

0:33:36.560 --> 0:33:38.760
<v Speaker 1>was still a game with every close Miami struggled with

0:33:38.880 --> 0:33:43.440
<v Speaker 1>on offense. Yeah, and yet good for Wisconsin for holding on.

0:33:43.600 --> 0:33:46.400
<v Speaker 1>They finished the season what thirteen and one? Just I

0:33:46.440 --> 0:33:50.240
<v Speaker 1>mean the schedule is, yes, the schedule, but still stupid ridiculous.

0:33:50.760 --> 0:33:52.440
<v Speaker 2>A nice win for them to close out the year.

0:33:52.560 --> 0:33:56.480
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's talk about the Peach Bowl. Yeah, UCF

0:33:56.560 --> 0:34:00.320
<v Speaker 2>wins over Auburn thirty four to twenty seven. Den this

0:34:00.360 --> 0:34:02.200
<v Speaker 2>game at all, I did. What do you think of

0:34:02.200 --> 0:34:02.600
<v Speaker 2>this game?

0:34:03.920 --> 0:34:06.880
<v Speaker 1>I thought, well, aside from the obvious it being like

0:34:06.920 --> 0:34:10.359
<v Speaker 1>an unreal season for UCF and to go out with

0:34:10.400 --> 0:34:13.160
<v Speaker 1>a win over the team that beat both teams in

0:34:13.160 --> 0:34:18.520
<v Speaker 1>the National Championship. It was impressive to see the Knights

0:34:18.560 --> 0:34:21.400
<v Speaker 1>stand up on really defense more than anything. It was

0:34:21.400 --> 0:34:23.840
<v Speaker 1>nothing too new that UCF was going to put yardage

0:34:23.880 --> 0:34:26.719
<v Speaker 1>on good teams, even though Auburn's defense is on a

0:34:26.760 --> 0:34:29.960
<v Speaker 1>talent level above what UCF is used to. But Mackenzie

0:34:30.000 --> 0:34:31.719
<v Speaker 1>Milton has been very good all year. The fact that

0:34:31.800 --> 0:34:32.640
<v Speaker 1>he led the way.

0:34:32.960 --> 0:34:34.640
<v Speaker 2>He is fun as hell to watch Dan, he is

0:34:34.719 --> 0:34:36.520
<v Speaker 2>so fun. He is so fun.

0:34:37.760 --> 0:34:40.840
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, defensively to force the turnovers they did, to

0:34:41.200 --> 0:34:45.360
<v Speaker 1>overwhelm they themselves overwhelm the Auburn offensive line, which we

0:34:45.440 --> 0:34:47.880
<v Speaker 1>thought after the Clemson game had really gotten itself together,

0:34:47.920 --> 0:34:51.160
<v Speaker 1>but they seemed to struggle for long stretches maybe outside

0:34:51.160 --> 0:34:54.440
<v Speaker 1>of the third quarter for Auburn. Was very cool to

0:34:54.480 --> 0:34:58.120
<v Speaker 1>see Mackenzie Milton spread the ball around nicely, and you know,

0:34:58.280 --> 0:35:01.440
<v Speaker 1>ultimately the turnovers forced to Auburn's hand and Auburn was

0:35:01.480 --> 0:35:03.719
<v Speaker 1>in the game late, but UCF did a great job

0:35:03.760 --> 0:35:05.319
<v Speaker 1>holding on and closing the game out.

0:35:06.160 --> 0:35:11.520
<v Speaker 2>Would u CF have beaten any of the four playoff teams.

0:35:11.360 --> 0:35:15.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think so, I think UCF. I don't know.

0:35:15.040 --> 0:35:18.400
<v Speaker 1>If it's seven out of ten times. But I think

0:35:18.480 --> 0:35:21.480
<v Speaker 1>if things break correctly and with the time to prepare,

0:35:21.960 --> 0:35:24.640
<v Speaker 1>that UCF would have to have three weeks with you know,

0:35:24.680 --> 0:35:28.560
<v Speaker 1>the Scott Frost coaching staff. I think it's for Auburn

0:35:28.880 --> 0:35:32.360
<v Speaker 1>and their defense to struggle at times with Mackenzie Milton.

0:35:32.640 --> 0:35:35.200
<v Speaker 1>And it wasn't like Trey Kwon Smith was getting behind

0:35:35.239 --> 0:35:38.200
<v Speaker 1>the secondary consistent layer, Tredrick Snelson was working them over.

0:35:38.520 --> 0:35:42.319
<v Speaker 1>It was just smart play calling, timely defense, and that's

0:35:42.360 --> 0:35:45.960
<v Speaker 1>good enough, don't I don't think they probably beat Alabama,

0:35:46.000 --> 0:35:50.640
<v Speaker 1>But could they run with Oklahoma? Could they run with

0:35:50.640 --> 0:35:53.160
<v Speaker 1>with Georgia a little bit? Could they run with Clemson

0:35:53.280 --> 0:35:56.120
<v Speaker 1>and take advantage of some bad Kelly Brian throws? Yeah?

0:35:56.200 --> 0:35:57.400
<v Speaker 1>I think so absolutely.

0:35:57.719 --> 0:36:00.959
<v Speaker 2>I think they could have given all four of those

0:36:01.000 --> 0:36:04.040
<v Speaker 2>teams at a minimum two and a half tough quarters.

0:36:04.280 --> 0:36:07.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't know about, you know, the final twenty two

0:36:07.960 --> 0:36:11.160
<v Speaker 2>and a half minutes, but I'm pretty confident that two

0:36:11.160 --> 0:36:13.279
<v Speaker 2>and a half quarters is something that they could muster up.

0:36:13.800 --> 0:36:16.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I mean, if you're able to force turnovers and

0:36:16.080 --> 0:36:19.040
<v Speaker 1>flip fields and make smart decisions on third down, you

0:36:19.080 --> 0:36:21.440
<v Speaker 1>can hang with anybody for a good amount of time.

0:36:21.920 --> 0:36:24.640
<v Speaker 1>It's tough though when this is you know, what's what

0:36:24.680 --> 0:36:27.720
<v Speaker 1>is it? The Peach Bowl? No, and a disappointing spot

0:36:27.760 --> 0:36:29.839
<v Speaker 1>for Auburn. You know, they win the SEC and they're

0:36:29.840 --> 0:36:33.040
<v Speaker 1>into the playoff. So I am not going to place

0:36:33.120 --> 0:36:37.799
<v Speaker 1>this on Auburn motivation because Auburn looked plenty motivated. But

0:36:37.960 --> 0:36:41.400
<v Speaker 1>the fact is the stakes are a little bit different. Okay,

0:36:41.440 --> 0:36:44.319
<v Speaker 1>So Auburn in a playoff, Georgia in a playoff, you know,

0:36:44.400 --> 0:36:46.920
<v Speaker 1>climbs it in a playoff. It's just there's a different

0:36:47.000 --> 0:36:49.680
<v Speaker 1>feel and a different level of focus I think from

0:36:49.719 --> 0:36:52.919
<v Speaker 1>everybody involved, and that would include UCF. So really cool

0:36:52.920 --> 0:36:56.640
<v Speaker 1>to see UCF win. And the real shame of everything

0:36:56.719 --> 0:36:59.239
<v Speaker 1>was that UCF was never even in the conversation, like

0:36:59.280 --> 0:37:02.120
<v Speaker 1>the committee did you know they made a conscious effort

0:37:02.200 --> 0:37:06.080
<v Speaker 1>to say, yeah, you're like sixteen, Oh yeah you're eleven.

0:37:06.120 --> 0:37:09.839
<v Speaker 1>Oh you're like thirteen, like fifteen, you're not seven, because

0:37:09.840 --> 0:37:13.920
<v Speaker 1>they're just protecting themselves in case there is crazy chaos,

0:37:14.520 --> 0:37:19.319
<v Speaker 1>protecting themselves from having UCF anywhere near a playoff conversation.

0:37:19.360 --> 0:37:21.839
<v Speaker 1>And that's the shame of it, because UCF should be

0:37:22.160 --> 0:37:24.319
<v Speaker 1>in that conversation. I know, they didn't play a ton

0:37:24.360 --> 0:37:27.719
<v Speaker 1>of Power five teams, but to have the opportunity to

0:37:27.760 --> 0:37:31.880
<v Speaker 1>prove themselves feels especially given the results from yesterday and

0:37:31.880 --> 0:37:35.520
<v Speaker 1>even before yesterday, they were on a level playing field.

0:37:35.560 --> 0:37:37.480
<v Speaker 1>Players are players, and they had them.

0:37:37.200 --> 0:37:40.640
<v Speaker 2>Thirty four to twenty seven. Again, was your final big

0:37:40.680 --> 0:37:45.800
<v Speaker 2>win for UCF. Beware the de facto national championship instead

0:37:45.800 --> 0:37:48.320
<v Speaker 2>it for ten years in this show. But the game

0:37:48.719 --> 0:37:50.400
<v Speaker 2>was a big deal for UCF and they got the

0:37:50.480 --> 0:37:50.879
<v Speaker 2>job done.

0:37:50.920 --> 0:37:53.120
<v Speaker 1>So and how many of these schools, by the way, Ty,

0:37:53.239 --> 0:37:57.000
<v Speaker 1>have claimed national championships in the exact way that UCF

0:37:57.040 --> 0:38:00.520
<v Speaker 1>could today. There are a lot of them. There are

0:38:00.560 --> 0:38:02.520
<v Speaker 1>a lot of them, So good for you. S. Yeah,

0:38:02.600 --> 0:38:03.000
<v Speaker 1>that's all.

0:38:03.560 --> 0:38:05.200
<v Speaker 2>The other game that we'll bring up here. It's not

0:38:05.320 --> 0:38:07.160
<v Speaker 2>technically in New Year's six, but they did play it

0:38:07.160 --> 0:38:09.919
<v Speaker 2>on New Year's Day the Citrus Bowl. We had Notre

0:38:10.000 --> 0:38:13.360
<v Speaker 2>Dame twenty one LSU seventeen.

0:38:13.440 --> 0:38:17.560
<v Speaker 1>Dan, I have a confession, Tie, Yeah, I barely watched

0:38:17.560 --> 0:38:21.840
<v Speaker 1>this game. No, I barely. I was with Michigan people,

0:38:22.000 --> 0:38:25.080
<v Speaker 1>and I listen, the Michigan game could have been worse.

0:38:25.239 --> 0:38:28.759
<v Speaker 1>The Michigan game was horrific to watch, Tie, I just

0:38:28.920 --> 0:38:30.799
<v Speaker 1>had to pick my poison. And I went with the

0:38:30.840 --> 0:38:33.319
<v Speaker 1>one that featured Ryan Nanny and a giant fried onion covers.

0:38:33.440 --> 0:38:36.200
<v Speaker 2>Right. No, of course we'll talk about that one next here. Yes,

0:38:36.239 --> 0:38:40.319
<v Speaker 2>And in fairness, I think that game, at least the

0:38:40.360 --> 0:38:44.160
<v Speaker 2>first half of the Citrus Bowl was worse than anything

0:38:44.239 --> 0:38:45.960
<v Speaker 2>we saw in the outback.

0:38:45.600 --> 0:38:47.200
<v Speaker 1>Bawl oh good, Okay, cool.

0:38:47.280 --> 0:38:51.920
<v Speaker 2>The first half was just dreadful, but an interesting situation

0:38:53.000 --> 0:38:56.400
<v Speaker 2>for Notre Dame to win this football game. They had

0:38:56.440 --> 0:38:58.799
<v Speaker 2>a lot of backups in they were playing Ian Brooke

0:38:58.880 --> 0:39:02.360
<v Speaker 2>mostly at quarterback. He gets a big throw, a great

0:39:02.440 --> 0:39:06.759
<v Speaker 2>catch from Miles Boykin, laid in the game, catches it

0:39:06.880 --> 0:39:11.440
<v Speaker 2>one hand over his back shoulder, dodges two tacklers, scampers

0:39:11.440 --> 0:39:14.640
<v Speaker 2>in for a touchdown, and Notre Dame ends up winning

0:39:14.680 --> 0:39:18.120
<v Speaker 2>this one by four, A nice little boost to kind

0:39:18.160 --> 0:39:21.359
<v Speaker 2>of go into their own offseason where they've clearly got

0:39:21.360 --> 0:39:23.360
<v Speaker 2>a lot of questions to answer, not the least of

0:39:23.400 --> 0:39:26.160
<v Speaker 2>which is who's playing quarterback next year. Now, if you

0:39:26.160 --> 0:39:27.600
<v Speaker 2>look at the box score, you're gonna see a lot

0:39:27.600 --> 0:39:31.359
<v Speaker 2>of Ian Book. I don't know if you should read

0:39:31.360 --> 0:39:34.320
<v Speaker 2>too deeply into what that means for next year. Brandon

0:39:34.320 --> 0:39:37.239
<v Speaker 2>Wimbush has been nicked up down the stretch here a

0:39:37.280 --> 0:39:40.120
<v Speaker 2>little bit. What I will say though, is if you

0:39:40.160 --> 0:39:43.239
<v Speaker 2>are Brandon Wimbush, to go into that bowl game and

0:39:43.280 --> 0:39:45.640
<v Speaker 2>perform the way you did, it was definitely not the

0:39:45.760 --> 0:39:47.879
<v Speaker 2>kind of curtain call you want to close out your year.

0:39:47.920 --> 0:39:51.919
<v Speaker 2>Like if you were looking to separate yourself from Ian

0:39:52.040 --> 0:39:55.920
<v Speaker 2>Book from Phil Jerkovic, who's coming in, this was not

0:39:56.080 --> 0:39:58.040
<v Speaker 2>the way to go about doing that. So I would

0:39:58.040 --> 0:40:01.279
<v Speaker 2>expect there to be an open competition for quarterback. I

0:40:01.280 --> 0:40:04.239
<v Speaker 2>am encouraged by how Notre Dame looked on defense. I

0:40:04.239 --> 0:40:07.279
<v Speaker 2>think they're young enough and depending on who stays and

0:40:07.320 --> 0:40:09.440
<v Speaker 2>who goes, we could be talking about one of the

0:40:09.480 --> 0:40:12.200
<v Speaker 2>better front sevens in college football next year. So they've

0:40:12.200 --> 0:40:15.680
<v Speaker 2>made great strides on that side of the football as well. Offense,

0:40:15.680 --> 0:40:17.200
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna have to wait and see. I think, just

0:40:17.280 --> 0:40:21.360
<v Speaker 2>as a whole, a really good, surprising way, quite frankly,

0:40:21.400 --> 0:40:23.520
<v Speaker 2>to close out their season, a big win against LSU.

0:40:23.920 --> 0:40:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Let me write this down real quick. Off season Notre Dame.

0:40:28.480 --> 0:40:30.920
<v Speaker 2>Quarterback, Yeah, no, it's been the thing man.

0:40:31.520 --> 0:40:35.120
<v Speaker 1>Whoo And I guess, yeah, it'll depend on who stays

0:40:35.120 --> 0:40:37.600
<v Speaker 1>and who goes. I guess does Jerry Tillery need to

0:40:37.600 --> 0:40:40.440
<v Speaker 1>take it one step at a time. Is that is

0:40:40.480 --> 0:40:41.959
<v Speaker 1>that a goof? Does that work?

0:40:42.080 --> 0:40:42.600
<v Speaker 2>No? Sure?

0:40:42.640 --> 0:40:44.160
<v Speaker 1>Is that still fresh in people's minds?

0:40:44.239 --> 0:40:44.799
<v Speaker 2>You can do that?

0:40:45.239 --> 0:40:49.879
<v Speaker 1>Okay? Yeah, good for Notre Dame for holding on. It

0:40:50.040 --> 0:40:55.520
<v Speaker 1>was a very standard loss for LSU where they seem

0:40:55.600 --> 0:40:57.920
<v Speaker 1>to put themselves in position to score a bunch and

0:40:57.960 --> 0:41:03.440
<v Speaker 1>couldn't finish drives. And the standard issue disappointment for LSU

0:41:03.560 --> 0:41:06.040
<v Speaker 1>is nothing any football fan wants to see. It's not

0:41:06.120 --> 0:41:10.520
<v Speaker 1>fun to watch. And Darius Geist was fine, but man,

0:41:11.000 --> 0:41:13.800
<v Speaker 1>just not a fun game. Not a fun game. I

0:41:13.840 --> 0:41:16.200
<v Speaker 1>watched some of the highlights of this, and I'm gonna

0:41:16.200 --> 0:41:18.240
<v Speaker 1>tell you right now, ty, pretty glad I didn't watch.

0:41:18.680 --> 0:41:23.360
<v Speaker 2>All right, We've got fifteen other Bowl games that we

0:41:23.400 --> 0:41:26.160
<v Speaker 2>need to talk about, so many and we're already forty

0:41:26.160 --> 0:41:28.080
<v Speaker 2>five minutes deep. So if it's okay with you, my

0:41:28.200 --> 0:41:30.960
<v Speaker 2>voice is you can hear it. It's dying here, Dan

0:41:31.400 --> 0:41:35.799
<v Speaker 2>True's dying. Members of my sweet sweet radio voice here,

0:41:36.400 --> 0:41:38.640
<v Speaker 2>let's try and move through these as quickly as we can.

0:41:38.640 --> 0:41:41.480
<v Speaker 2>If that's all I've send to you, Yes, let's tell

0:41:41.520 --> 0:41:46.000
<v Speaker 2>me about the Outback Bowl. South Carolina twenty six, Michigan nineteen.

0:41:46.080 --> 0:41:49.560
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of standard issue offensive disappointment. Michigan struggled, kept giving

0:41:49.560 --> 0:41:52.440
<v Speaker 1>the ball to South Carolina. South Carolina barely holds on

0:41:52.480 --> 0:41:56.120
<v Speaker 1>to win with five turnovers gifted to them, and Michigan

0:41:56.239 --> 0:41:59.759
<v Speaker 1>has a lot of soul searching and mirror looking offensively

0:41:59.800 --> 0:42:02.960
<v Speaker 1>this offseason, especially with Shaye Patterson coming in. But hey,

0:42:03.000 --> 0:42:05.200
<v Speaker 1>good for South Carolina. Did nothing in the first half,

0:42:05.239 --> 0:42:07.920
<v Speaker 1>good in the second half and Ryan Nanny ward a

0:42:07.960 --> 0:42:08.880
<v Speaker 1>fried onion costume.

0:42:09.200 --> 0:42:12.480
<v Speaker 2>Awesome side that was all just Also, I saw that

0:42:12.520 --> 0:42:14.520
<v Speaker 2>the game was a little chippier than I'd expect.

0:42:14.800 --> 0:42:17.000
<v Speaker 1>It was. Well, they were like fighting in a bowling

0:42:17.040 --> 0:42:20.279
<v Speaker 1>alley leading up to the game, So hi, there's a

0:42:21.200 --> 0:42:22.319
<v Speaker 1>there's some sparks flying time.

0:42:22.400 --> 0:42:25.919
<v Speaker 2>Quinn nordin the kicker went Crotch Graben hitting a field

0:42:25.960 --> 0:42:27.120
<v Speaker 2>goal at the end of the first half.

0:42:27.480 --> 0:42:30.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, you hit three field goals in a

0:42:30.120 --> 0:42:32.640
<v Speaker 1>half and nobody else is doing anything around you offensively.

0:42:32.800 --> 0:42:34.919
<v Speaker 1>You feel empowered? Ty all right.

0:42:35.000 --> 0:42:38.440
<v Speaker 2>Michigan is the only Big Ten team to lose South Carolina.

0:42:38.440 --> 0:42:41.680
<v Speaker 2>A nice win for them. Tax Slayer Bowl Mississippi State

0:42:41.760 --> 0:42:47.799
<v Speaker 2>thirty one, Louisville twenty seven. Uh props to Mississippi State. Here,

0:42:47.880 --> 0:42:50.560
<v Speaker 2>Dan Sure they got the best of Lamar Jackson, didn't they?

0:42:51.239 --> 0:42:53.960
<v Speaker 1>They absolutely did. You know, he is once again trying

0:42:53.960 --> 0:42:56.560
<v Speaker 1>to do everything, which I understand given some of their

0:42:56.600 --> 0:42:59.400
<v Speaker 1>struggles on offense. But to me, the story was much more.

0:42:59.480 --> 0:43:03.600
<v Speaker 1>Keytonpson interim coach for Mississippi State, you know, not starting

0:43:03.640 --> 0:43:06.959
<v Speaker 1>the Joe moorehead era quite yet obviously in game, and

0:43:07.160 --> 0:43:09.440
<v Speaker 1>Keithon Thompson, both through the air and on the ground,

0:43:09.719 --> 0:43:11.560
<v Speaker 1>leads the Dogs to a very impressive win.

0:43:11.719 --> 0:43:16.480
<v Speaker 2>Good for them in the Liberty Bowl Iowa State twenty one,

0:43:16.560 --> 0:43:20.839
<v Speaker 2>Memphis twenty We had one final swan song for a boy,

0:43:21.680 --> 0:43:24.920
<v Speaker 2>the Duke of Hazzard, Allan Lazard a Liberty Bowl record

0:43:25.560 --> 0:43:28.560
<v Speaker 2>ten babs. Yeah, one hundred and forty two yards. He

0:43:28.640 --> 0:43:34.200
<v Speaker 2>was virtually uncoverable, even really on being one leg after

0:43:34.239 --> 0:43:37.520
<v Speaker 2>tweaking an ankle earlier in the game. Iowa State gets

0:43:37.560 --> 0:43:40.840
<v Speaker 2>their first Bowl win since two thousand and nine.

0:43:41.719 --> 0:43:44.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Oh, unbelievable season for Iowa State. One of the

0:43:44.360 --> 0:43:47.320
<v Speaker 1>better stories of the season couldn't really run against Memphis,

0:43:47.360 --> 0:43:50.040
<v Speaker 1>but really it was the defense. Joe Lanning another big

0:43:50.080 --> 0:43:54.600
<v Speaker 1>game for the Clones, and Alan Lazard is right there.

0:43:54.640 --> 0:43:57.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, Alan Lazard is a candidate. Nikhil Harry

0:43:57.440 --> 0:44:00.400
<v Speaker 1>a candidate for Well, they got one really really good

0:44:00.480 --> 0:44:04.320
<v Speaker 1>receiver and he just keeps getting open. If it's the

0:44:04.480 --> 0:44:07.560
<v Speaker 1>Tyler Lockett, the Eric Decker Award, whatever it is, Alan

0:44:07.600 --> 0:44:08.520
<v Speaker 1>Lazard is right there.

0:44:09.000 --> 0:44:12.800
<v Speaker 2>The Nova Home Loans Arizona Bowl goes to New Mexico

0:44:12.840 --> 0:44:16.280
<v Speaker 2>State twenty six two twenty over. You toss State in overtime.

0:44:16.760 --> 0:44:18.759
<v Speaker 1>Historic bowl win for the Aggies.

0:44:18.840 --> 0:44:21.840
<v Speaker 2>Cool to see the Belk Bowl. Wake Forest fifty five

0:44:22.800 --> 0:44:28.759
<v Speaker 2>Texas A and M two four hundred yards, four touchdowns

0:44:28.760 --> 0:44:31.080
<v Speaker 2>for John Wolford. We had one final ride on the

0:44:31.120 --> 0:44:34.440
<v Speaker 2>Wolford wagon as wake Forest goes out in style and

0:44:34.560 --> 0:44:38.520
<v Speaker 2>nice win. Nice offensive showing here by Wolford to close

0:44:38.560 --> 0:44:39.160
<v Speaker 2>out the season.

0:44:39.680 --> 0:44:41.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, same goes for Nick Starkle. And it was what

0:44:41.840 --> 0:44:43.759
<v Speaker 1>Christian Kirk's final game for text A and M. He

0:44:43.800 --> 0:44:46.560
<v Speaker 1>declared for the draft. But yeah, in John Wolford's final

0:44:46.560 --> 0:44:50.160
<v Speaker 1>game for the Deeks, he was once again stupid good

0:44:50.320 --> 0:44:53.960
<v Speaker 1>and just the defense was not there for anybody. But

0:44:54.239 --> 0:44:56.640
<v Speaker 1>Wake held on late against Nick Starkle. I think they

0:44:56.920 --> 0:44:59.440
<v Speaker 1>force a fourth and long and got the stop. Good

0:44:59.520 --> 0:45:02.120
<v Speaker 1>for Wake another what eight win season? Yeah, come on,

0:45:02.280 --> 0:45:04.600
<v Speaker 1>that's wonderful. I'm going to make a random prediction here

0:45:04.640 --> 0:45:08.520
<v Speaker 1>about John Wolford. Okay, John Wolford is the kind of

0:45:08.520 --> 0:45:12.440
<v Speaker 1>guy who four years from now is randomly the backup

0:45:12.520 --> 0:45:15.920
<v Speaker 1>for like the Minnesota Vikings. Okay, and due to injury

0:45:15.960 --> 0:45:19.480
<v Speaker 1>gets a start, two starts, maybe three, sort of like

0:45:19.920 --> 0:45:25.240
<v Speaker 1>the Graham Harreld style exactly. Nate Peterman, Yeah, mm hmm. Fair.

0:45:25.480 --> 0:45:28.239
<v Speaker 2>The Hyundai Sun Bowl goes to NC State by a

0:45:28.320 --> 0:45:30.719
<v Speaker 2>fifty two to thirty one margin over ASU.

0:45:31.760 --> 0:45:35.600
<v Speaker 1>Coach by Todd Graham. Yeah, weird, a little bit strange,

0:45:35.719 --> 0:45:39.560
<v Speaker 1>lame duck situation. Herm Edwards now officially takes over in

0:45:39.600 --> 0:45:44.200
<v Speaker 1>all phases for ASU. Rough game for Manny Wilkins. Ridiculous

0:45:44.200 --> 0:45:46.719
<v Speaker 1>game for Ryan Finlay as he was mostly this year

0:45:47.360 --> 0:45:49.839
<v Speaker 1>a little down back half of the season. But NC

0:45:50.000 --> 0:45:53.520
<v Speaker 1>State a really cool way to end the year that

0:45:53.640 --> 0:45:55.760
<v Speaker 1>they probably thought they should have double digit wins.

0:45:55.760 --> 0:45:59.800
<v Speaker 2>And the Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl goes to

0:46:00.200 --> 0:46:04.360
<v Speaker 2>Western by one twenty three over Kentucky. Yeah, what happened

0:46:04.400 --> 0:46:04.879
<v Speaker 2>in this game?

0:46:05.560 --> 0:46:07.959
<v Speaker 1>Clayton Thorston goes down with a pretty ugly injury. Hope

0:46:07.960 --> 0:46:11.799
<v Speaker 1>he is able to eventually heal looked pretty brutal. And

0:46:11.840 --> 0:46:15.960
<v Speaker 1>then Benny Snell start Kentucky running back sort of waves

0:46:15.960 --> 0:46:18.120
<v Speaker 1>off a ref who's trying to help him up or

0:46:18.160 --> 0:46:21.720
<v Speaker 1>something like that, and the ref is insulted. It's unclear

0:46:21.800 --> 0:46:24.239
<v Speaker 1>like there was not any sort of significant contact. He

0:46:24.280 --> 0:46:27.800
<v Speaker 1>gets thrown out of the game. Very strange. Kentucky comes

0:46:27.800 --> 0:46:32.160
<v Speaker 1>back and gives themselves. They give themselves an opportunity to

0:46:32.360 --> 0:46:34.839
<v Speaker 1>win the game with a two point conversion, but Northwestern

0:46:35.040 --> 0:46:38.320
<v Speaker 1>breaks it up and holds on and helps to keep

0:46:38.480 --> 0:46:40.960
<v Speaker 1>the Big Tens Bowl record up pretty high.

0:46:41.360 --> 0:46:45.040
<v Speaker 2>The Military Bowl presented by Northrop Grumming. We had Navy.

0:46:45.440 --> 0:46:47.360
<v Speaker 2>Wow is that right? Whoa?

0:46:47.440 --> 0:46:48.880
<v Speaker 1>That is one hundred percent correct?

0:46:48.920 --> 0:46:54.839
<v Speaker 2>A forty two point win over Virginia That's incredible.

0:46:54.920 --> 0:46:58.280
<v Speaker 1>That is Yeah. I did not see this game coming

0:46:58.320 --> 0:47:01.000
<v Speaker 1>in this fashion. Zachaby had a nice day on the ground,

0:47:01.239 --> 0:47:03.879
<v Speaker 1>and Navy did what Navy did and added a bunch

0:47:03.960 --> 0:47:07.719
<v Speaker 1>of defense to it. So hey, Navy, seven and six,

0:47:08.000 --> 0:47:08.480
<v Speaker 1>Good for you.

0:47:08.600 --> 0:47:11.799
<v Speaker 2>The Camping World Bowl goes to Oklahoma State thirty to

0:47:11.800 --> 0:47:13.399
<v Speaker 2>twenty one over Virginia Tech.

0:47:14.080 --> 0:47:17.240
<v Speaker 1>Not a surprise, no, not a Olahoma State. Yeah, Oklahoma

0:47:17.280 --> 0:47:20.120
<v Speaker 1>State with a huge offensive day for Mason Rudolph and

0:47:20.160 --> 0:47:24.120
<v Speaker 1>a couple of receivers, and Virginia Tech ultimately just couldn't

0:47:24.120 --> 0:47:25.839
<v Speaker 1>make plays at the end of the game. Too many

0:47:25.880 --> 0:47:26.600
<v Speaker 1>stall drives.

0:47:27.160 --> 0:47:31.839
<v Speaker 2>The San Diego County Credit Union Holiday Bowl, another lopsided

0:47:31.880 --> 0:47:37.000
<v Speaker 2>game here. Wow off Michigan State forty two, Wazoo seventeen.

0:47:37.120 --> 0:47:39.759
<v Speaker 2>No Luke Folk in this game for Wazoo.

0:47:40.239 --> 0:47:42.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, No. Hercules Mo to offer for the first half

0:47:42.560 --> 0:47:45.279
<v Speaker 1>because he was ejected against I want to say it

0:47:45.280 --> 0:47:46.879
<v Speaker 1>was in the Apple Cup, so he had to miss

0:47:46.880 --> 0:47:49.680
<v Speaker 1>the first half of the bowl game. And Brian Lawurk

0:47:50.239 --> 0:47:53.160
<v Speaker 1>huge day for Michigan State. Tyler Helensky not able to

0:47:53.239 --> 0:47:57.759
<v Speaker 1>keep up, and yeah Michigan State. You'll remember when we

0:47:57.800 --> 0:47:59.920
<v Speaker 1>previewed this team and knew nothing about what would have

0:48:00.280 --> 0:48:05.200
<v Speaker 1>this year. You were confident they would improve. They finished

0:48:05.200 --> 0:48:07.879
<v Speaker 1>ten and three. Yeah, wow, damn Michigan State.

0:48:08.080 --> 0:48:14.399
<v Speaker 2>Damn the Alamo Bile TCU thirty nine, Stanford thirty seven.

0:48:14.520 --> 0:48:17.200
<v Speaker 2>Dan looked like this one might get out of hand.

0:48:17.640 --> 0:48:20.319
<v Speaker 2>Stanford had a big lead after a quarter and a half.

0:48:20.360 --> 0:48:23.440
<v Speaker 2>I guess that's when a hero came along Dan with

0:48:23.440 --> 0:48:26.480
<v Speaker 2>the strength to carry on. You might know him as

0:48:26.560 --> 0:48:29.600
<v Speaker 2>Kenny Hill. This was decidedly ken Hill yep in this

0:48:29.640 --> 0:48:33.520
<v Speaker 2>football game. The older, the more mature version of his

0:48:33.600 --> 0:48:36.560
<v Speaker 2>former self. He led the charge all the way back,

0:48:37.040 --> 0:48:40.239
<v Speaker 2>had a ninety three yard touchdown pass to start the

0:48:40.320 --> 0:48:43.800
<v Speaker 2>fourth quarter. Wild game in the Alamo Dome. Cole Buns

0:48:44.440 --> 0:48:46.880
<v Speaker 2>for TCU gets a thirty three yarder with three minutes

0:48:46.960 --> 0:48:48.560
<v Speaker 2>left to give TCU a big Bowl win.

0:48:49.200 --> 0:48:52.880
<v Speaker 1>Yes, absolutely not a ton of big plays for Stanford.

0:48:52.880 --> 0:48:54.759
<v Speaker 1>Bryce Love had a couple, but was mostly held in

0:48:54.840 --> 0:48:58.200
<v Speaker 1>check by a very good TCU rushdie upfront Jalen Rager.

0:48:58.239 --> 0:49:01.280
<v Speaker 1>Obviously a huge day for the fraud in the air.

0:49:01.560 --> 0:49:04.680
<v Speaker 1>And if you like interceptions, tie, my god, do you

0:49:04.800 --> 0:49:07.359
<v Speaker 1>have to dine out at the Alamo Bowl because there

0:49:07.360 --> 0:49:10.360
<v Speaker 1>were four of them and the field kept flipping and

0:49:10.400 --> 0:49:12.960
<v Speaker 1>flopping and it was pretty entertaining. I enjoyed my time

0:49:13.360 --> 0:49:15.120
<v Speaker 1>with Stanford and TCU.

0:49:15.600 --> 0:49:19.400
<v Speaker 2>The Academy Sports and Outdoors Texas Bowl. It's a mouthful.

0:49:19.800 --> 0:49:22.880
<v Speaker 2>M goes to Texas thirty three to sixteen over Misura.

0:49:23.560 --> 0:49:24.200
<v Speaker 1>Chippy game.

0:49:24.760 --> 0:49:26.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, chippy game.

0:49:26.239 --> 0:49:30.120
<v Speaker 1>Between Texas and Miszoo, but hey, good for Texas. Didn't

0:49:30.160 --> 0:49:33.320
<v Speaker 1>really do a ton offensively, But this is the twenty

0:49:33.360 --> 0:49:38.920
<v Speaker 1>seventeen Texas team, that's what they don't do, and defensively

0:49:38.920 --> 0:49:41.200
<v Speaker 1>did a really nice job against Drew Locke mostly held

0:49:41.239 --> 0:49:44.319
<v Speaker 1>him in check. Is ish Witter did not much at all,

0:49:44.400 --> 0:49:46.680
<v Speaker 1>surprisingly enough, I mean, I guess not a big surprise.

0:49:46.719 --> 0:49:48.840
<v Speaker 1>Texas defense has been mostly very good this year, So

0:49:49.280 --> 0:49:52.080
<v Speaker 1>strong way for Texas to finish out the year, but

0:49:52.640 --> 0:49:55.600
<v Speaker 1>they should be closer to double digit wins moving forward.

0:49:55.719 --> 0:49:59.080
<v Speaker 2>Malik Jefferson I saw also declared the NFL draft.

0:49:59.160 --> 0:50:01.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah and unbelieve talent for the Horns.

0:50:01.320 --> 0:50:05.759
<v Speaker 2>Foster Farms Bowl fun game. Actually Perdue thirty eight Arizona

0:50:05.840 --> 0:50:06.520
<v Speaker 2>thirty five.

0:50:06.400 --> 0:50:09.560
<v Speaker 1>A little bit controversy before the half, Yeah, yeah, the

0:50:09.880 --> 0:50:12.640
<v Speaker 1>refs told Rich Rodriguez and the Arizona coaching staff that

0:50:12.680 --> 0:50:16.239
<v Speaker 1>Purdue would be kneeling and so for Arizona not to

0:50:16.280 --> 0:50:19.520
<v Speaker 1>sort of rush the passer or you know, try to

0:50:19.560 --> 0:50:22.640
<v Speaker 1>stop any sort of run, and they end up going

0:50:22.640 --> 0:50:25.160
<v Speaker 1>with an end around before the half that sets up

0:50:25.560 --> 0:50:28.719
<v Speaker 1>a pretty short field goal. Ultimately, Perdue wins by the

0:50:28.719 --> 0:50:33.200
<v Speaker 1>field goal. And listen, Arizona was ahead in the second half,

0:50:33.560 --> 0:50:35.480
<v Speaker 1>they were head in the fourth quarter. They were head

0:50:35.520 --> 0:50:37.799
<v Speaker 1>with three minutes left in this game, so they did

0:50:37.800 --> 0:50:40.480
<v Speaker 1>have the opportunity to win. But if all of that

0:50:40.800 --> 0:50:44.239
<v Speaker 1>is true, it's a bummer for Arizona, who fought really well,

0:50:44.280 --> 0:50:46.960
<v Speaker 1>and I think the story wasn't really produced defenses it

0:50:46.960 --> 0:50:49.160
<v Speaker 1>had been for most of the year. Offensively, they spread

0:50:49.160 --> 0:50:53.120
<v Speaker 1>the ball around nicely. Defensively, Khalil Tate exposed a lot

0:50:53.160 --> 0:50:54.880
<v Speaker 1>of what Purdue was trying to do against him through

0:50:54.920 --> 0:50:58.000
<v Speaker 1>the air. But good for Purdue. Really, this was not

0:50:58.040 --> 0:51:01.080
<v Speaker 1>a Purdue team that I think anybody was expecting much from,

0:51:01.080 --> 0:51:04.319
<v Speaker 1>even with the coaching change, and took I think a

0:51:04.360 --> 0:51:05.360
<v Speaker 1>pretty big step.

0:51:05.080 --> 0:51:10.200
<v Speaker 2>Forward when comeback victories and the Purdue boiler Makers dan

0:51:10.239 --> 0:51:12.160
<v Speaker 2>when they merge as one. You know what we call that?

0:51:12.920 --> 0:51:13.279
<v Speaker 1>What's that?

0:51:13.560 --> 0:51:14.959
<v Speaker 2>We call that the singularity.

0:51:15.719 --> 0:51:18.879
<v Speaker 1>Ah, I'll take it. I like that. Good job.

0:51:19.120 --> 0:51:24.160
<v Speaker 2>Elijah Sindelar showing some Cajones. The thirty eight yard touchdown

0:51:24.239 --> 0:51:27.040
<v Speaker 2>pass like a minute and forty four left gave him

0:51:27.040 --> 0:51:31.120
<v Speaker 2>a win. Nice win, nice win. First winning records since

0:51:31.160 --> 0:51:35.200
<v Speaker 2>twenty eleven Boiler up and finally two final games here

0:51:35.800 --> 0:51:38.439
<v Speaker 2>new era Pinch Stripe Bowl goes to Iowa twenty seven

0:51:38.480 --> 0:51:43.000
<v Speaker 2>to twenty over Boston College, and the walk On's Independence

0:51:43.000 --> 0:51:45.680
<v Speaker 2>Bowl goes to Florida State, who ran one up on

0:51:45.760 --> 0:51:47.160
<v Speaker 2>Southern miss forty two to thirteen.

0:51:48.440 --> 0:51:51.680
<v Speaker 1>Indeed, not much as needed about either one of those games.

0:51:52.280 --> 0:51:57.320
<v Speaker 2>Daniel, There you have it for bowl season. Mm hmmm, hmmm. Wow.

0:51:57.800 --> 0:52:00.320
<v Speaker 1>What was your favorite bowl game to watch? If you

0:52:00.320 --> 0:52:02.880
<v Speaker 1>have the scoreboard in front of you, you have a favor?

0:52:03.000 --> 0:52:05.400
<v Speaker 1>Was it text A and m wake Forest fifty five

0:52:05.560 --> 0:52:06.480
<v Speaker 1>fifty two?

0:52:06.880 --> 0:52:10.480
<v Speaker 2>Was it? Well, let's count out. Let's let's assume that

0:52:10.560 --> 0:52:13.279
<v Speaker 2>the best one was the Rose Bowl. I think that's right,

0:52:13.360 --> 0:52:16.080
<v Speaker 2>the Rose Bull is the best one. Beyond that, and

0:52:16.120 --> 0:52:18.480
<v Speaker 2>maybe I'm biased. I thought Penn State Washington was a

0:52:18.520 --> 0:52:18.960
<v Speaker 2>ton of fun.

0:52:20.080 --> 0:52:22.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, for a game to legitimately be up in the air,

0:52:23.040 --> 0:52:26.920
<v Speaker 1>and there was probably a solid three quarters of a

0:52:27.000 --> 0:52:30.920
<v Speaker 1>second when Dante Pettis got the the lateral on the

0:52:30.920 --> 0:52:34.160
<v Speaker 1>hook and ladder where you oh, you knowing what Chris

0:52:34.200 --> 0:52:38.720
<v Speaker 1>Peterson has where you said in the depths of your gut.

0:52:39.520 --> 0:52:42.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh shit, it had to have been in your in

0:52:42.400 --> 0:52:43.240
<v Speaker 1>your mind somewhere.

0:52:43.360 --> 0:52:46.520
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, it was totally there. Yeah, So I thought

0:52:46.560 --> 0:52:47.399
<v Speaker 2>that was a funny game.

0:52:47.800 --> 0:52:50.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think that's uh, that's all sort I'm trying

0:52:50.400 --> 0:52:52.960
<v Speaker 1>to see if any of the non new Year's Day.

0:52:52.960 --> 0:52:54.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think Prue Arizona is a good answer.

0:52:54.760 --> 0:52:56.120
<v Speaker 1>That was a really fun game.

0:52:56.160 --> 0:52:58.359
<v Speaker 2>And TCU Stanford was a good game, kind of being

0:52:58.440 --> 0:52:59.200
<v Speaker 2>down to the wire too.

0:52:59.600 --> 0:53:00.399
<v Speaker 1>I think that that's right.

0:53:01.080 --> 0:53:04.560
<v Speaker 2>Good Bowl season as a whole. We will report on

0:53:05.880 --> 0:53:08.000
<v Speaker 2>who ends up winning our bullpool as soon as we know.

0:53:08.120 --> 0:53:11.560
<v Speaker 2>We won't know that until after the game on Monday. Again,

0:53:11.920 --> 0:53:14.279
<v Speaker 2>your National Championship game is going to between Alabama and

0:53:14.360 --> 0:53:18.880
<v Speaker 2>Georgia Monday night, January the eighth. Alabama four and a

0:53:18.920 --> 0:53:23.160
<v Speaker 2>half point favorite over the george Bulldogs. Now we are
