00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 3: I had a heart then tie. The queen has been overthrown.

11
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 3: And I'm not sleeping now, just like you. You're not

12
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 3: a sleeper. I'm not sleeping now. Oh God, dark is

13
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 3: too hard to beat.

Speaker 3: This goes in you show the lights that stopped me

Speaker 1: Tie, oh man line spot for me? Really? Sorry? Yeah,

18
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: I don't so.

19
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 3: I was in a coffee shop doing work, as I

20
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 3: generally do on Wednesdays. I had a stellar oatmeal raisin cookie, okay,

21
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 3: and I was sitting there and enjoying it, and that

22
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 3: song came on and I just hit my groove studying

23
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 3: for tonight's show, so I felt it was necessary.

24
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: You know, an oatmeal raisin cookie is good for you

25
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: because it's got both oatmeal and raisin in it.

26
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 3: I am there is fiber coursing through my veins and

27
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 3: through other parts of me.

28
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, buddy, Well, welcome to Week two. We've still got

29
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 1: a little bit of Week one, which we're gonna run

30
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: through here momentarily, but yep, this is officially the Week

31
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: two preview show. Now officially we can say that week

32
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: one is in the book. So we're going to talk

33
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: about the latest rankings. We're going to talk about the

34
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: two games we didn't have a chance to talk about

35
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: on the early Sunday recap show that we put together,

36
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: as well as a few other news tidbits that we

37
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: think you might find pertinent. And then we're going to

38
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: dive into a Week two slate of games, which, uh,

39
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: gotta be honest, not the strongest slate of Week two games,

40
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: but I just agree, well, a couple interesting tips.

41
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 3: Okay, it's not the strongest, but it is. I think

42
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 3: it's pretty strong. I think it's sneaky strong, sneaky strong,

43
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 3: like one of those strength coaches you see that there's fantasy.

44
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: I see WoT I see it.

45
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, it's like one of those strength coaches who's

46
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 3: tiny and you're like, how is he? And then like

47
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 3: everybody on the team is jack, and like, all right,

48
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 3: I guess he knows what he's doing. Yeah, I guess

49
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 3: you know, the tiny guy knows. So I think this

50
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 3: is one of those weeks that has a little bit

51
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 3: more more bite than is expected.

52
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: Here is the favor that I want to ask of people. Okay,

53
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: as they go on out to the games this weekend.

54
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: We have a lot of folks who go out to

55
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 1: the games. They call the reverbline at four oh eight

56
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: verbal one four oh eight eight three seven two two

57
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: five to one. Would encourage everyone to keep doing that.

58
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: It's always a ton of fun. But if you haven't already,

59
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: tell someone at your tailgate about our show, physically help

60
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,119
Speaker 1: them subscribe and download the show. This is the only

61
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 1: way that the show is going to grow its footprint

62
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: by reaching out to other college football fans, bringing more

63
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: aboard the bandwagon here. So we want to expand the

64
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: verballer hood. Please help others find out about the show.

65
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 3: I would talk about the show as if it's obvious

66
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 3: that everybody listens and when they're like, wait, what's the

67
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 3: solid verbal? Is that the one with Dan and Tye,

68
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 3: the two hosts with the best abs, can say, yes,

69
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 3: it is. But they're more than just pieces of meat.

70
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 3: They're great podcast friends of mine.

71
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: If you want to surreptitiously record yourself putting on said act.

72
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 3: It depends on the state. If you're at a party

73
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 3: state yep, yeah, h.

74
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: Just throwing it out.

75
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 3: Think about the legalities type no, yeah. Just tell people

76
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 3: if you're into the show, you think other people would

77
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 3: like the show, tell people how to tailgate. We want

78
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 3: to have them.

87
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: of administrative housekeeping that I throw out here is that

88
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: we do have new shirts that are incoming. New shirts

89
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: as in some genuinely new designs, as well as another

90
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 1: run of some old favorites coming to the Celiverble store

91
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: very very shortly.

92
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 3: That'll be happening in the next few weeks. Cotton Bureau

93
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 3: has been very patient with me as I've been slow

94
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 3: on the optic. But the shirts are designed, they're ready,

95
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 3: they're good to go with our friends at Cotton Bureau

96
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 3: as soon as I email them to them. And so

97
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 3: that's going to be happening sooner rather than later as

98
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 3: in days away. And I actually have an excellent transition

99
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 3: tie please from this please. So speaking of new shirts, yeah,

100
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 3: Willie Taggert has worn his third new Polo shirts in

101
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 3: two years. Wow, that's I mean to go, three polo

102
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 3: shirts and three points.

103
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: That's a little.

104
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 3: Nice coincidence there.

105
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: I like it. All right, let's get to Daniel, your

106
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 1: new ap Top twenty five, or at least the top

107
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: ten of the Top twenty five after week one reads

108
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: as follows. We've got Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, Ohio State, with

109
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: Ohio State moving up one, followed by Wisconsin at five,

110
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:47,799
Speaker 1: Oklahoma at six, Auburn moving up two to seven, Notre

111
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 1: Dame moving up four to number eight, Washington dropping three

112
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: to ninth, and Stanford up three to number ten. A

113
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: notable mover here is ls which moves up fourteen to

114
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: number eleven, and Miami, which moves down fourteen to number

115
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,799
Speaker 1: twenty two. I don't know if we're in any position

116
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: to be surprised by any of what we see here

117
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: in the polls. Experience tells me it's a little too

118
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 1: early to be offended or enthusiastic about any of what

119
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: we see here. But I think a reflective measure of

120
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: what happened in week one.

121
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 3: Yes, and for the record, South Carolina and Florida so

122
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 3: a good little musk champion thing at the bottom of

123
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 3: the top twenty five both move in. They were unranked

124
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 3: to start the season. They both move in to the

125
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 3: I am looking at the ap top twenty five. Who

126
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 3: where do you stand? By the way, because every year

127
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 3: it's the same, like few people or maybe a lot

128
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 3: of people. Yeah, Like there shouldn't be a poll until October?

129
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 3: What of this means nothing?

130
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 4: It's a week.

131
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 3: Two Where do you stand in twenty eighteen? About preseason

132
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 3: and early season poll? I'm totally good with them.

133
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: Now, wait a second, you didn't used to be totally

134
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: good with it.

135
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 3: I know I've evolved.

136
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 4: Ty.

137
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: I saw a huge the value I saw you responding

138
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: to Todd Blackledge today, I did, and I thought to myself,

139
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: is this new? Is this new for my podcast partner

140
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: of ten plus years? Now that you're all on board

141
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: the pre season poll train.

142
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 3: I've ripened Tie like a good avocado, like a fresh

143
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 3: summer white peach. I've ripened to the point of sweetness

144
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 3: and acceptance. And I do see the value because it's

145
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 3: one it's fun to talk about. Two it doesn't have

146
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 3: actual bearing. People will point to like two thousand and

147
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 3: four Auburn like well they started solow and they were

148
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 3: kept out, like well they didn't have the same schedule.

149
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: So here here, here's what I would say. Okay, Yeah,

150
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: there are plenty of things that have no real value

151
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: that we still treasure, I e. The Bachelor. Okay, there

152
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: are plenty of things that peme out on the right.

153
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: There are plenty of things that people are into that

154
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: have no real value for anything outside a very very

155
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: tight knit group of fans. And I think that's where

156
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: these poles come down. Look, it's what late August, when

157
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: we start seeing these polls for the first time we

158
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: start actually wondering how accurate, how relevant they will be.

159
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: I agree with you, it's a talking point. It's a

160
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: talking point, and people are into college football. It gets

161
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: the juices flowing. What I hope doesn't happen is the

162
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: committee takes them seriously, and it doesn't seem through the

163
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: first couple of years of the system, that anyone really does,

164
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: but as a talking point, as a means of entertainment,

165
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: just to get the juices flowing. Certainly as two people

166
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: who talk about college football all the time throughout the year,

167
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: I'm fine with it. I just hope it never influences

168
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,839
Speaker 1: the actual decisions on who goes where.

169
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 4: No.

170
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 3: What I think it is is it's good enough. It

171
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 3: organizes things in to a list that is good enough

172
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 3: early on to just sort of figure out where our

173
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 3: heads are at. It's basically the difference of cleaning your

174
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 3: apartment or home deeply scrubbing the floors, dusting everything, vacuuming,

175
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 3: and sometimes just straighten up. And you know what, there's

176
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 3: some value in straightening up. Tie, there's some value in organizing,

177
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 3: even if you're not deeply getting to the root of

178
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 3: all the issues.

179
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: Correct. I would agree with that as long as long

180
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: as it's not taken too seriously.

181
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh, of course it should never be taken all

182
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 3: that seriously anyway, tie, And we're a Mountain West show now,

183
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 3: so it doesn't matter to us.

184
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: My point is like, this should never be your citation

185
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: in a research document. Now, come on, just use it

186
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: for entertainment purposes only.

187
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, feel how you want. This is just organization.

188
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: So some actual news here outside of the polls. I

189
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: want you. I just I hope you're sitting down for this.

190
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 3: I'm not. I'm a stander.

191
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 4: Now.

192
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 3: Are you're a sitting podcast or I'm a standard?

193
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: Now? Are you using a variedsk? Oh?

194
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 3: No, I'm using a desk, like an addition to a

195
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 3: regular desk. It's called near pow near I don't know English.

196
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 3: It's it looks like n E A R P o U.

197
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 3: I don't know. It was on Amazon, and it builds

198
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 3: up a regular sized desk into a It's just it's

199
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 3: a tiny desk on top of it.

200
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Well, I hope you're at least in a

201
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: stable position at the moment. Shoulders are back to a

202
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: Tongua Vaya Loa was named the starter at Alabama I

203
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: know everyone is shocked.

204
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 3: Boo uh yeah, we have anything to add about that.

205
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: I don't now.

206
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 3: Everybody watched. Everybody knew he had like the greatest opening

207
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 3: game in terms of efficiency against a pretty good team

208
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 3: that we've seen in along time.

209
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: It's unfair that Alabama has a guy that good. Yeah,

210
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,959
Speaker 1: but he's so so good. Tough break for Jalen Hurts,

211
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: but that's the rub of going to Alabama. The other

212
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: thing kind of, I guess. On a more serious somber note,

213
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,079
Speaker 1: LSU had a pretty serious injury, right.

214
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, Clavon Chasen. Calavin Chasen is out for the season,

215
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 3: a pretty devastatingly versatile and effective linebacker who was very

216
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 3: good against Miami. He's out for the season. I wouldn't

217
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 3: go as far as somber injuries happen. Hopefully he's able

218
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 3: to recover fully and contribute wherever next year, but I

219
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 3: don't know what year he is. Unfortunately I am lazy.

220
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 3: Sometimes we hope he has a speedy recovery because that

221
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,599
Speaker 3: LSU defense and I don't know when we want to

222
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 3: transition too the LSU Miami game, but they were excellent

223
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 3: against Miami. He was a big reason why upfront. They

224
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 3: just overwhelmed Miami's offensive line and he was he was

225
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 3: in on it felt like everything.

226
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: So they still have.

227
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 3: All sorts of talent there and Devin White did a

228
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 3: great job for the Tigers. So not terribly terribly worried

229
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 3: long term.

230
00:11:55,960 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 5: But it sucks to see Willie Taggert, your boy, Willie Tech,

231
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 5: my guy, using the tried and true excuse in saying

232
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 5: that Virginia Tech players were faking injuries to slow down

233
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 5: his offense.

234
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, one of those things you bring up when you win.

235
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 3: One of those things to be like, listen, we did

236
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 3: it all with them faking injuries. Can you believe it?

237
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 3: Not like we didn't score a single touchdown. We were

238
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 3: crazy and effective in the red zone.

239
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: We turned it over five times because of dot dot dot.

240
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 3: More turnovers than points. Not the ideal time to then

241
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 3: add oh, they were taking cheap falls. And it's also

242
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 3: tough to know exactly when. And I do say this

243
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 3: as an Oregon fan who has enthusiastically accused teams and

244
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 3: did see Tosh Lupoi get suspended when he was at

245
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 3: Cal for instructing his players to do this, but it

246
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 3: is it can be tough when you look to the

247
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,959
Speaker 3: sideline and like a coach or an assistant knows your

248
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 3: hurts and tells you to go down because it's not

249
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 3: worth it to play on it an injury or a

250
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 3: cramp or something like that. So it can be hard,

251
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 3: but it's one of those things that you probably make

252
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 3: public after a win, especially a win in which you

253
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 3: score at touchdown.

254
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that game as well. The only other

255
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 1: two quick tidbits here that we need to mention, otherwise

256
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: we wouldn't be doing the show, right Jeff Long, Now

257
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: at Kansas, it's conducting a review. We've got professors in

258
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: a bit of outcry about the lost to Nichols State

259
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 1: in week one. What is going on here?

260
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 3: I forget if Nichols State wants to be Nichols or

261
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 3: Nichols State. I always forget. But you know we do

262
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 3: deep dive Nichols State a lot on this show. Sure,

263
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 3: So yeah, there is some questioning from Lawrence like why

264
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 3: are we why do we keep doing this?

265
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: David Batties won three games now in just over three years.

266
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: That's not a great track record. I don't care who

267
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: the coach is.

268
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 3: There is there is something too. As soon as things

269
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 3: start to get bad. And this happens at all sorts

270
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 3: of programs. You know, recently we've seen it. Not bad,

271
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 3: but there it's incredibly hard to dig yourself out of

272
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 3: a funk. And there are systemic issues at a lot

273
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 3: of places. It's not just a Kansas thing or a

274
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 3: Rutgers thing or something like that. I do believe they

275
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 3: play each other. I do believe Kansas wreckers play each other.

276
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: But there is.

277
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 3: Something about needing, not just to hire a new person

278
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 3: and not just to build a new locker room, but

279
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 3: there is something about the self awareness of knowing where

280
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 3: you are in college football's pecking order and implementing a

281
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 3: system and sticking to it that is aware of the

282
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 3: pecking order, and you know incremental like Illinois has fallen

283
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 3: completely off and they almost lost it. Kent State. It's

284
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 3: it's very difficult. Is that. That's all I will say.

285
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 3: And I understand where Kansas people are coming from. Kansas

286
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 3: was competitive, you know, like on a super high level,

287
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 3: not what a decade ago.

288
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: The Mark Mangino era. Yeah, long live.

289
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 3: So it's possible to win in Lawrence. It's possible to

290
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 3: be okay in Lawrence. It's possible to be respectably below average,

291
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 3: which is, you know, talk about self awareness. I am

292
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 3: very familiar with being respectably below average. But there is

293
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 3: there is something you gotta have.

294
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: You gotta have a fiery press conference and go full

295
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: buryotom like we saw at Missouri last year after that

296
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: yes start. Granted a lot of Missouri's second half success

297
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: was due to a week in schedule, but still, you.

298
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 3: Know, Kansas lost to Nichols.

299
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: They lost to Nicholas.

300
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 3: Schedule doesn't get any weaker than week one Nichols. Just

301
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 3: go full Buryoto, man, do it. I don't know. I

302
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 3: don't know what you do, because it's one of those

303
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 3: things that also like losing begets losing culture, begets losing recruits,

304
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 3: you know it, all spirals and avalanches.

305
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: So that's going on at Kansas.

306
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 3: So that's Kansas.

307
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: And the only other thing that I would mention here

308
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: is that Braylen Edwards is suspended indefinitely from the Big

309
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: Ten Network after being frustrated and apparently inebriated on Twitter

310
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: and criticizing many at Michigan, particularly the Michigan football program,

311
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: which I believe he may have called trash or garbage

312
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: if memory serves.

313
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 3: And called out a specific player. I think it was

314
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 3: an offensive lineman for being and so I understand, you understand.

315
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: Oh, it's a good thing. I'm not working for the

316
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:34,359
Speaker 1: Big Ten Network.

317
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 3: Right, same, Well, I don't have that. I did not

318
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 3: go to a Big Ten school. You did. But there

319
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 3: is something about being a frustrated college football fan and

320
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 3: being able to say, man, this is super annoying and

321
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 3: awful watching my team and saying it publicly and commiserating

322
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 3: with like minded fans, alumni, whatever. But he works at

323
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 3: the Conference network.

324
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. See, if I worked for the Conference Network, presumably

325
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: they dig up all my old tweets about trace mcsorley's

326
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 1: pop gun arm.

327
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:06,959
Speaker 3: See, that is nowhere near as bad, because you're not

328
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 3: using language to say Trace mcsorlely is unacceptably trash.

329
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: They would dig up all the old tweets, though.

330
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 3: You probably have tweets that say, but the pop gun

331
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 3: arm thing is just a very specific element of his

332
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,479
Speaker 3: game that you're not a fan of. But Big Ten,

333
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 3: I feel like there's probably more there between Braylen Edwards

334
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 3: and Harbaugh and current Michigan administrators. There's probably there's a

335
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 3: lot of the times behind the scenes, there can be

336
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 3: bad blood that develops between notable alumni that played at

337
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,959
Speaker 3: a school and the people running the program now, and

338
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 3: that like a new coach will come in and al

339
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 3: he's so much better to the former players and the

340
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 3: old guy. Then you hear the stories. Now there probably

341
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:54,199
Speaker 3: is more to the story. But Braylan Edwards, man, come on,

342
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 3: you know, there's a lot of good about conference networks.

343
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 3: But part of the deal is you're a mouthpiece. That's

344
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 3: just what it is on a certain level, and you

345
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 3: just you can't. Sorry, all right, So here's what happened

346
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:14,479
Speaker 3: on Sunday night. LSU thirty three Miami seventeen. Now, to

347
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 3: my untrained eye, the LSU front seven looked like it

348
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 3: almost completely.

349
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:23,360
Speaker 1: Overwhelmed Miami and Malik Rogier. Miami just could not get

350
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,439
Speaker 1: into any kind of rhythm until they were down like

351
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: thirty points. Malik Rogier his line on the day just

352
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: fifteen of thirty five. He threw a pick six just

353
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 1: before halftime, which made it twenty seven to three LSU,

354
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 1: and that was pretty much that on the LSU side.

355
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 1: I'm curious to get your thoughts here on Joe Burrow,

356
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: who went eleven for twenty four but did not turn

357
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: the ball over didn't commit the killer mistake that could

358
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 1: have swung momentum in Miami's favor at any point in

359
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: this game. I also thought got a pretty strong rushing

360
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: fa which was a question that we had asked multiple

361
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: times before this football game. Where were the rushing yards

362
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,199
Speaker 1: going to come from? LSU seemed to be able to

363
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 1: answer that part of the equation. I do think it

364
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: makes things very interesting now for LSU in two weeks

365
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 1: when they go to Auburn, Because, for at least for me,

366
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 1: I can only speak for myself. I was not taking

367
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: LSU all that seriously as a force to be reckoned

368
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: with in the SEC West. I really thought this was

369
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: going to be a seven and five team that look

370
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: the part of a seven and five team. But if

371
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 1: they can continue this trend and not shoot themselves in

372
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 1: the foot, if they can continue to ride that youth

373
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: and play very inspired defense the way we saw, then

374
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: it's going to be a parent very early here that

375
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: I was dead wrong, and I'd be happy to admit

376
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: as much. So.

377
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 3: I was within the context of it being his first

378
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 3: game after becoming a grad transfer and going against the

379
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 3: defense that I think we believe to be as fast

380
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,959
Speaker 3: and talented as Miami's should be this year. You know,

381
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 3: it's a heavy ask to be good, and if he

382
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 3: were like full on good in this game, that would

383
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:15,479
Speaker 3: have been another level and probably beyond reasonable expectations. I

384
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 3: was encouraged by what I saw from Joe Burrow. It

385
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 3: seemed like he was in control. It seemed like he

386
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 3: knew decisions before he was going to make them, which

387
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 3: was like he knew his options as for making decisions,

388
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 3: which was encouraging as an LSU quarterback. You know, he

389
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 3: made checks at the line that looked to be correct.

390
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 3: His offensive line wasn't great. I don't think his receivers

391
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 3: are great. Justin Jefferson made plays, but it looks like

392
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,640
Speaker 3: he's on the right track. It looks like he has

393
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 3: the poise to lead this offense to really good games

394
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 3: as he develops. But yes, part of that will be

395
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 3: the line. Part of that will be Nick Brossett or

396
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 3: whoever's carrying the ball continuing to burst and give them

397
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:02,479
Speaker 3: big plays. And I'm not fully ready to look at

398
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 3: LSU's offense and say, oh, yeah, this is the offense

399
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 3: of a ten win team.

400
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 1: No, I'm not there either. I'm just saying seven to

401
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 1: five might be a bit of a trolley perspective on

402
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 1: where this team's going to end up.

403
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 3: So in terms of strong defenses, before we get to

404
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 3: Florida State, Georgia, excuse me, Florida State, Virginia Tech, they

405
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 3: go to Auburn in a couple of weeks. They go

406
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 3: to Florida obviously in the beginning of October, and then

407
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 3: the week after is Georgia. The week after that Mississippi State,

408
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 3: the week after that is Alabama, who or if they

409
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 3: have a buye before Alabama, as they usually do, but

410
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 3: the game week after that is Alabama.

411
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: That is brutal, which is tough.

412
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:44,479
Speaker 3: So LSU might be a nine to three team that

413
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 3: finishes seven and five, eight and four something like that.

414
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,199
Speaker 3: But I think if you're an LSU fan wondering what

415
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 3: a grad transfer who hasn't really been there all that

416
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,679
Speaker 3: long would look like against a good defense, there are

417
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 3: a lot of interesting questions that were answered.

418
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: A final score thirty three to seventeen in favor of LSU.

419
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:06,360
Speaker 1: A nice opening statement here for LSU. And then on

420
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: the Labor Day game Monday night, Virginia Tech twenty four

421
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: Florida State three. We mentioned it at the top that,

422
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: Florida State turned the ball over five times. They also

423
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: had a punt block. Again. To the untrained eye, and

424
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,400
Speaker 1: as someone who saw a Willy Taggart offense up close

425
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 1: and personal, Dan, tell me if I'm wrong here, it

426
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: seemed to me like an offense that was supposed to

427
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:34,959
Speaker 1: go fast, but was moving too fast for itself. Like

428
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 1: you know when a little kid runs too quickly and

429
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: eventually just topples over because his or her legs can't

430
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: keep up with his or her feet. That's how I

431
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 1: felt watching this Florida State offense. Eventually they will get there.

432
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll start with the positives out of fear of

433
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 3: being too petty about Willie Taggert, which, listen, it's gonna

434
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 3: happen sometimes. I'm just telling you now you've listened to

435
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,360
Speaker 3: the show long enough you know what'll happen. But positives.

436
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 3: I thought DeAndre Francois came out looked pretty good.

437
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: I agree, lyon agree.

438
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 3: After coming back from a pretty devastating injury, he came

439
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 3: out looked pretty good. And that's despite not having great

440
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 3: offensive line play. I think they were down a couple starters.

441
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:17,159
Speaker 3: The receivers seem at best disappointing and inconsistent. I know

442
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 3: they played a lot of young guys, but nobody really

443
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 3: has stepped out or stepped up in that receiving core.

444
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 3: Cam Akers is obviously hugely helpful, but gonna need more

445
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 3: than cam Akers. And what is Josh quest Patrick? Defensively?

446
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 3: I thought Florist they did it all things considered, new

447
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 3: coordinator big spot against a pretty decent Virginia Tech team.

448
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 3: I thought they did a good job. They gave up

449
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 3: what seventeen points because one of them was the punt

450
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 3: block touchdown catch thing. So I thought the defensive line

451
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 3: did pretty well. The corners have some issues. Linebacker is

452
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 3: probably going to be a weakness, but that that defensive

453
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 3: line looked good, looked deep, looked overwhelming and swarming at

454
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 3: times against Josha in Virginia Tech. The negatives, There's only

455
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 3: so much a defense can do when the offense gets

456
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:12,199
Speaker 3: off the field with lethal simplicity. Once again, speed is

457
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 3: great when it's working, but speed when it's not working

458
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 3: just puts your defense in a crazy bind. And that's

459
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 3: what it looked like. They're just there wasn't a rhythm

460
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 3: to the offense. You could see what they were trying

461
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 3: to do when they got into the red zone, they struggled.

462
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 3: Turning the ball over killed them. It just was a disaster.

463
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 3: It was a disaster of an opening Stanza for Florida

464
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 3: State and Willie Taggert. I anticipate things will be worked out,

465
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 3: They'll be healthier, they'll get a better understanding of this offense.

466
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 3: I am already not the biggest fan of DeAndre francois

467
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 3: a ten to eleven win quarterback, which is what design

468
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 3: should be eventually for Florida State. But they should they

469
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 3: even next week, week after whatever, they should be better.

470
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 3: But they just seemed completely overwhelmed by and listen, I'm

471
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 3: gonna be Kirk harb Street here, that Bud Foster defense,

472
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 3: that blue collar work bench box, blue collar Bud Foster

473
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 3: collar defense.

474
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: We shouldn't pan Virginia Tech here because all I did

475
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 1: I'll speak from Oh my.

476
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 3: God, we were so wrong.

477
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I questioned Virginia Tech. What's what's Bud

478
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:31,679
Speaker 1: Foster gonna do? Can he pull a rabbit out of

479
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: his hat here? Can he show his wizardry with a

480
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: brand new defense? Well, yeah, I.

481
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 3: Guess he pulled a rhino out of his hat.

482
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess I guess the answer to that is yes.

483
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 1: So we could talk about Florida State until the cows

484
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 1: come home. But Virginia Tech put together, I thought, a

485
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: really impressive effort against a team with a lot of talent,

486
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 1: and if they can establish some degree of consistency on

487
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 1: both sides of the football, maybe that weren't there from

488
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: a year ago. This is going to be an interesting

489
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: club to follow now as we get into the ACC schedule.

490
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:05,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's also week one, week one two. Now, well, yes,

491
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 3: I'm saying week one in terms of Virginia Tech's performance,

492
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,120
Speaker 3: and I don't think they have anybody all that good

493
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 3: until I want to say Notre Dame could be, which

494
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 3: is October. Yeah, it looks like it's Bill and Mary

495
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 3: acu Oh do you Duke and then Notre Dame schedules

496
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 3: looking if they are okay on offense and good ish

497
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 3: on defense, schedule sets up real. I mean, I don't

498
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 3: know about that, but you know threatening sure, all right,

499
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 3: well we.

500
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: Must move on. You know what time it is, the

501
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 1: week Week two is upon us. We have a variety

502
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,719
Speaker 1: of games that we're going to throw out here. But first,

503
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: something I actually forgot to do last week because I

504
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: couldn't find an obvious answer. Okay, your window of opportunity

505
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: For those of you following along at home wondering why

506
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 1: are we playing the Windows ninety five sound?

507
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 3: It's great sounds.

508
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:11,199
Speaker 1: Obviously, I can't believe how many people find this useful.

509
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,160
Speaker 1: I still can't believe it. But the window of opportunity

510
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: is if you can't perch yourself in front of a

511
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 1: couch all day on Saturday, if you do have odds

512
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: and ends or errands, things that you got to get

513
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 1: out there and do, or if a loved one, a

514
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 1: significant other wants to get you out of the house

515
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 1: and do something other than college football. We're going to

516
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 1: try and help you plot the course here, be strategic

517
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 1: on Saturday. Yeah, when can you get out and do

518
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:42,959
Speaker 1: these other things that life requires without inhibiting your watching

519
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: experience as a college football fan?

520
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 3: Right?

521
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 1: The bigger games this week, Dan, I'm gonna be real

522
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 1: for a second, could be lousy to watch. It could

523
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: be lousy television. So if you're looking at this slate

524
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 1: and if none of what we're going to talk about

525
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: grabs you, if you want to take the week off,

526
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 1: if you want to do something with the mister with

527
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 1: the misses. I'm going to allow it. I'm going to

528
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 1: say that's perfectly fine. I'm not suggesting it all right.

529
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 1: Just make sure you keep downloading the podcast. Most importantly,

530
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 1: but is there a window?

531
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 3: I mean, you're saying like all day, but is there

532
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 3: a specific window.

533
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 1: During this I'm just saying, in an extreme case, if

534
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,439
Speaker 1: you feel the need that you just you don't know

535
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: how to work it out. Take the week off plan

536
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:27,880
Speaker 1: for week three. They're bigger games of week three.

537
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, odds are your team is not playing anybody with

538
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 3: all sorts of significance of the line. Yeah.

539
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,479
Speaker 1: If you do want to go out and get something

540
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: done and be back in time for football, I think

541
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: you got to do it early. I'd say be back

542
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: by like five thirty six o'clock Eastern, catch the end

543
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 1: of Georgia South Carolina. You will be in a position

544
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: where you're not too far behind what transpired earlier in

545
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 1: the day. And I think you're going to be in

546
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 1: front of a TV early enough you can catch the

547
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: end of a good game, or at least a notable game,

548
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: and you can perch yourself in front of a couple

549
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: cool night games, which we're going to talk about here.

550
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, and especially the Nooners are not great. Nope, because

551
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 3: Kansas State almost lost us out the CODA last week

552
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 3: and they host Missippi State. Nick FitzGeralds back from his

553
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:22,479
Speaker 3: one game suspension, but there's not much in that window.

554
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 3: UCLA is probably going to get just obliterated going to Norman. Yeah,

555
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 3: and that's in terms of ranked teams. If you are

556
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 3: just you know, if you're a fan of whoever and

557
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 3: are interested beyond your team in the better matchups the

558
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 3: Nooners are or nine or whatever. Whatever time it is

559
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 3: for you during this window, just do other things. S

560
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 3: moow your lawn, Washington dishes, do the deep cleaning that

561
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 3: I say is not always necessary. Take that time.

562
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: That's right, Okay, window of opportunity is early, be back

563
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: with five point thirty six.

564
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 3: Also, it's a this is going to be my first

565
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 3: coffee napp of the week because yeah, I think we

566
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 3: have ASU. Michigan State is a ten forty five late.

567
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: Why I'm not staying up to watch that game.

568
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 3: This is one of the few times you're not staying

569
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 3: up at all.

570
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: It's it's going to be the same as it is

571
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: every week. Where the solid wife says when do you

572
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 1: think you're going to go to bed because you have

573
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: to wake up early. I'm going to say, I'm going

574
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 1: to try to watch as much of this as I can,

575
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: and I'll fool myself by telling her, Oh, I'm going

576
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: to watch the first half, and I'll be asleep with

577
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 1: eight minutes left in the first quarter.

578
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 3: Get this one September in the desert. The temperature I

579
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 3: kickoff is expected to be one oh one ish, which

580
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 3: is yo. You can't put that game at three thirty.

581
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: It just can't.

582
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 3: So I am not going to I have no criticism

583
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 3: to Levy against any TV network or school here, just

584
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 3: because that's you have to in the desert. And I

585
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 3: think it's been hot in Michigan too, so it's fine.

586
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 3: Everybody's used to it.

587
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,959
Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's start off off with the nooner

588
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: here thenoner of note Yes is on ESPN. It's between

589
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 1: Mississippi State and Kansas State. They're playing this one in Manhattan, Kansas.

590
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: Originally the line opened at around seven and a half.

591
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 1: It has since gone up. Other people clearly watched case

592
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: States opening Stanza where they really.

593
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 3: Should be big got lost Stanza tonight.

594
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: I like this, Yeah, going with a poetry theme here.

595
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 1: They really should have lost to South Dakota in that game,

596
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: but they came back late and one the line is

597
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: now up to nine and a half. Dan. Now, look,

598
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 1: I'm willing to throw a lot out the window and

599
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: chalk it up to being week one uncertainty. What I

600
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 1: can't look past is that case State just lost a

601
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 1: ton of playmakers on defense, right, like and offense? Yeah,

602
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 1: and offense, sure, but that's got a factor in here,

603
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 1: not just against South Dakota, but even a week later.

604
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: You hear a lot about the week one to week

605
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 1: two improvement, and that's very much a thing. I think

606
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: we'll see that universally in most cases. But man, Joe Moorehead,

607
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 1: he is gonna throw so many different things at this defense,

608
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 1: and especially now that he gets Nick Fitzgerald back from suspension,

609
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: we'll probably see both Fitzgerald and key Ton Thompson in

610
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 1: this game. I am a true believer in whatever Joe

611
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: Moorehead's gonna put forth. I love Mississippi State to the

612
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: tune of like thirty four to twenty one in this game,

613
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: and I'm not sure if I can lock it up

614
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 1: quite yet. I want to be more judicious about which

615
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 1: team I locked up because I went one and one

616
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 1: a week ago. But I feel real confident about Mississippi State.

617
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 1: The Bulldog's going on the road here, even despite k

618
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 1: State being just a plucky team in Manhattan, Kansas being

619
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: a weird place to play.

620
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 3: They'll be better. Kansas State will one hundred percent be better.

621
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 3: I think part of that is growing They have two

622
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 3: new coordinators, I believe, so there's growing pains that have

623
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 3: to exist in week one no matter who the opponent

624
00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 3: is in South Dakota, yes, they should have distanced themselves

625
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 3: from South Dakota one, but they will be better. They

626
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 3: kept flopping the quarterbacks. It was it was ugly, it

627
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 3: wasn't great. Mississippi State should travel reasonably well, it's not

628
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 3: going cross country or anything like that. There might be

629
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 3: growing pains for Nick Fitzgerald in his first game running

630
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 3: a new offense for the Bulldogs. What line would you

631
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 3: look at and say that's too much? If this goes

632
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 3: up to twelve twelve and a half, well, I'm picking

633
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 3: that's it's still double digits against what we presume to

634
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 3: be at least a pretty decent team. Is a lot

635
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 3: of points.

636
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: My projection here is thirty four to twenty one. Okay,

637
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 1: so by that measure, I guess fourteen would be too much.

638
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, I don't know how Kansas State is probably

639
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 3: going to score that many points, unless Unlessissippi State is

640
00:33:56,320 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 3: scoring that quickly. I'm going to say State wins this

641
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 3: one thirty five twenty So I think we're generally on

642
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 3: the same page. But it's just a lot of points. Man.

643
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:09,840
Speaker 1: This is if.

644
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 3: I were to wager American dollars, this is not a

645
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:13,840
Speaker 3: game I would.

646
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 1: Take, Okay, noted Dan noted.

647
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, no confidence level low.

648
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on. Let's go to Saturday at

649
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:27,839
Speaker 1: three thirty on CBS, the Georgia Bulldogs with a tough

650
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 1: little test here on the road in Columbia against South Carolina.

651
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 1: This line opened at nine, moved to ten. It's kind

652
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 1: of stayed there. Both teams, as you know, one comfortably

653
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 1: a week ago, with Georgia blanking Austin p forty five

654
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 1: to nothing and South Carolina knocking off Coastal Carolina. There

655
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 1: can only be one Carolina, that's right, Dan. I noted

656
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: this from Bill Connolly, our friend Bill Connolly, who said

657
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 1: that last season South Carolina was outstanding as an underdog.

658
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 1: They pulled five upsets and they went seven and one

659
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: against the Sprint. Is that notable? Should that be notable?

660
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 1: Is that something we should consider now? As South Carolina

661
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 1: is a ten point underdog against the top five team.

662
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 3: So it sort of says Vegas doesn't fully have a

663
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 3: grasp for South Carolina and their abilities in the recent term,

664
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 3: not necessarily for this season. They were good last week.

665
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 3: They scored quickly, Jake Bentley looks to be in rhythm

666
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 3: with the new offense. And by the way, before we

667
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 3: go any further with this game, I was just a

668
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 3: few hours ago and this has nothing to do with

669
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,359
Speaker 3: our partnership, but it sort of does because it's such

670
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:47,359
Speaker 3: a great product. I was reading Bruce Feldman's Feldman Files, Yeah,

671
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:50,240
Speaker 3: which is sort of like the Monday Like I consider

672
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 3: this to be like my Monday morning quarterback. Like for

673
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 3: the NFL. Bruce just has a notebook that he just

674
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 3: dumps information out of. He talks to people during the week.

675
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 3: He talks to people after game, coaches, players, whatever, and

676
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 3: he was like, here's what people are saying about X,

677
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,320
Speaker 3: Y and Z, and he happened. One of the nuggets

678
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 3: from this week was the evolution of South Carolina's offense

679
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 3: with new coordinator Brian McLendon and with help obviously from

680
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 3: the quarterbacks coach Dan Werner, who spent a lot of

681
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,840
Speaker 3: time at Ole Miss developing that RPO style offense, and

682
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 3: just just talking about the evolution and what South Carolina

683
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 3: is trying to do and how they are going to

684
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 3: sort of become more progressive offensively, and it got me

685
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 3: a little bit hot and bothered. This game. Yeah, on

686
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 3: the Athletic. So if you don't have the Athletic and

687
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 3: you are missing Nugget City tie because you're talking nuggets,

688
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 3: you're talking dipping sauce, you're talking informational waffle fries. If

689
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 3: you don't have a subscription to the Athletic, you can

690
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 3: pause this show right now. We won't be offended. You

691
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 3: go to the athletic dot com slash solid arb. Well

692
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 3: we got a terrific special. I think it's what two

693
00:36:55,719 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 3: three bucks a month. Just you're probably going to end

694
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 3: up you've been waiting to pull the trigger. You've been saying, well, yeah,

695
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 3: i'd like that writer and that writer and that writer

696
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 3: and their coverage of this. You know what, Just pause

697
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 3: it now, Just get it over with your season is

698
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,320
Speaker 3: going to be so much better. It's what sports media

699
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 3: should be. And they have Bruce Felman. Dump in the nugs.

700
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 3: Tie yeah, dump in the nugs.

701
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:20,479
Speaker 1: So many nugs out there. Theathletic dot Com slash solid

702
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 1: verbal is a URL. Yes.

703
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:26,959
Speaker 3: So back to this game. I'm gonna I'm gonna gobble

704
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 3: up those points. I got really hungry talking about nugs

705
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 3: and sauces and informational waffle fries that I have to

706
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 3: eat these points and take these points. I like Georgia

707
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 3: whole bunch. Georgia is in the midst of overhauling its defense,

708
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 3: pretty young in a lot of key spots. South Carolina

709
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 3: has some experience. I like what they're doing on offense.

710
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:46,800
Speaker 3: I like how healthy they are on both sides of

711
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:50,399
Speaker 3: the ball right now at home with their headline game

712
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 3: of the season at home and just telling me, just

713
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 3: handing me ten points, nine and a half points.

714
00:37:57,880 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: Yeah.

715
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 3: I think South Carolina is good enough here to keep

716
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:03,799
Speaker 3: it close. I don't think they beat Georgia. I think

717
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,840
Speaker 3: Georgia wins this game. I think it's something like twenty

718
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 3: one to seventeen. But I am happy to take the

719
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 3: points of a pretty good sec defense at home.

720
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 1: I'm I'm sort of on board with that. I do

721
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,879
Speaker 1: believe that South Carolina will be better than a year ago.

722
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 1: I don't think that means they're good enough to beat

723
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 1: Georgia in this game, but it does feel like the

724
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,959
Speaker 1: kind of game where you've got an early special teams play,

725
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,800
Speaker 1: like we've seen this before, right, an early special teams

726
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 1: play that turns the tide for South Carolina and gives

727
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: them some momentum. The crowd gets fired up, and then

728
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 1: Georgia Georgia throws them in the old suvid cooker and

729
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 1: three hours.

730
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 3: So they're suevied as opposed to Crockpot.

731
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 1: They're a little classier, a little classier, little classier h

732
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 1: just as effective. My curiosity in this game, though, especially

733
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 1: with the new system the up tempo stuff, is whether

734
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 1: or not it's Jake bent Lee's accuracy because he turned

735
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 1: the ball over a lot last year, Whether it's his

736
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 1: accuracy or Georgia's defense which gives out first, Because Georgia's

737
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 1: fighting their own battle on defense, very talented but far

738
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 1: less experienced than they were a year ago. Which of

739
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: those two factors comes into play first? I am not

740
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 1: fully on board with the renaissance movement here at South Carolina.

741
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 1: So I hear you when I see ten points, and

742
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: I'm feeling ten points is an awful lot. I'm also

743
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:38,760
Speaker 1: not on board with South Carolina covering that after sixty

744
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:41,719
Speaker 1: minutes expire. So I'm on board with Georgia winning this

745
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 1: game by a twenty eight to seventeen margin. Give me

746
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:46,840
Speaker 1: the dogs on the road.

747
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 3: Wow.

748
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 1: So Georgia.

749
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:50,879
Speaker 3: Last year they win this game by a couple touchdowns

750
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 3: at home with a far more experienced team. You know,

751
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 3: the the weapon ry on offense obviously, with Sony Michelle

752
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 3: and Nick Chubb a lot higher than receiving a great

753
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 3: this year. I'm not going to say it's anything down

754
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 3: in the passing game. And Jake from is pretty clearly

755
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 3: going to be better this year than last year, and

756
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 3: he was already really good last year. So going to Columbia,

757
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 3: going to Williams Bryce. If we assume that South Carolina

758
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 3: has perhaps progressed a little more because of the experience

759
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 3: from where they were last year, just an assumption, just

760
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 3: an assumption. That's where I'm coming with my single ditch.

761
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 1: All right, next, fair enough, let's go to Saturday at

762
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 1: five pm on the Fox Network. Dan, this is a

763
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 1: good old fashioned rivalry. You know what we do in

764
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:39,400
Speaker 1: a rivalry, don't you do.

765
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 3: We have to take the records and throw them.

766
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:42,840
Speaker 1: We have to throw them out the windows.

767
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:46,320
Speaker 3: Throw to throw those records out because one team doesn't

768
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 3: even have a record.

769
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,839
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, it's a weird circumstance in which

770
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 1: to throw records out any window. Iowa won their first game.

771
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:58,879
Speaker 1: Their defense looked incredible. Iowa State probably would have won

772
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,399
Speaker 1: their first game, but they or not given the opportunity

773
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 1: to play due to mother Nature. Correct, and they straight

774
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 1: up canceled the game. They're not even playing.

775
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 3: Somebody suggested that mother Nature was the ultimate Week one dude,

776
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 3: the ultimate dude alert mother Nature.

777
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 1: All right, I look the line is three and a half.

778
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 1: Now it's come down from the opening four. Iowa State

779
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:26,719
Speaker 1: at Iowa. They're playing it in Kinnick Stadium. I was

780
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:31,320
Speaker 1: so wowed by that Iowa defense that I have to

781
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:33,880
Speaker 1: go with them here. It will be Iowa State's first

782
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 1: game and they are inexperienced upfront, which I think is

783
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 1: a good recipe for Iowa wreaking havoc with the Clones

784
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 1: and taking them out of their game. Plan. I like

785
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 1: the fact that it's in Kinnick Stadium. I hope that

786
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 1: Iowa's wide receivers can cure their case of the drops

787
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 1: that we saw from a week ago, and that should

788
00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 1: make Nate Stanley better. This game kills me because you know,

789
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 1: I have just an inordinate amount of affection for Nate Stanley.

790
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 1: I love them like a brother, right right. But at

791
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:11,759
Speaker 1: the same time, I was all in on Iowa State

792
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 1: from a year ago, so I really don't want to

793
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 1: root against either team here. I am going to take

794
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 1: Iowa though, minus and points at home. I think they're

795
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:21,360
Speaker 1: a better team for sure.

796
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:24,400
Speaker 3: I'm glad you threw the records out because I was

797
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 3: prepared to remind you. I like the Hawkeyes as well.

798
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 3: Here A little bit worried about their offense after last week,

799
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 3: but NIU puts out a pretty good defense every year,

800
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 3: and this year is no exception. With how experienced they were,

801
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:39,959
Speaker 3: Iowa was still with some issues running the ball at times.

802
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:43,840
Speaker 3: Nate Stanley didn't have a good opening week for the Hawkeyes.

803
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 3: But yeah, there is something worrisome about Iowa State not

804
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:49,720
Speaker 3: having that warm up, that tune up game. The fact

805
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:52,880
Speaker 3: that perhaps the best player on offense and defense, So

806
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 3: and Duke of Hazzard Allen Lazard on offense and Joel

807
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 3: Landing on defense both gone. Both sort of game changers

808
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 3: for the Clone last year. Also a little bit worried

809
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 3: with Iowa State and regressing to the mean in terms

810
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,879
Speaker 3: of turnovers. You have many fumbles they lost last year

811
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 3: all year long. A single fumble. That's a lot of

812
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:14,879
Speaker 3: good lung one the only that's it's just it's luck.

813
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 3: It's also good ball protection. All of the actual things

814
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 3: you can control, but there are going to be fumbles

815
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 3: and the ball bounces in weird directions that you can't

816
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:27,720
Speaker 3: always control. In Iowa State, for whatever reason, they controlled

817
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:30,760
Speaker 3: the ball, So I would be a little bit worried

818
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:32,759
Speaker 3: with Iowa State on both sides. They generated a lot

819
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 3: of turnovers on defense, and they did not themselves turn

820
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 3: the ball over, so I am worried about that. So

821
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 3: for those reasons, I think I'm just going to go Iowa.

822
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:44,400
Speaker 3: Love Matt Campbell, love the Clones, but especially going on

823
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 3: the road in a delayed first week, I think they

824
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 3: could come out a little bit too anxious, eager, whatever

825
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:53,440
Speaker 3: with the rivalry spot. So I'm going with the calm

826
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 3: of the Iowa Hawkeyes here, So I think they win

827
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:57,840
Speaker 3: this game by a touchdown. Let's call it thirty one

828
00:43:57,960 --> 00:43:58,439
Speaker 3: twenty four.

829
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 1: The other thing that I would be a misf I

830
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:03,960
Speaker 1: didn't mention we've been doing the solid verbal beer Club

831
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 1: Brew Club, Solid Brew. We have a new hot pensive

832
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 1: coordinator this week, Oh chairman, buy the name of Brian,

833
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:12,400
Speaker 1: who has a suggestion.

834
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 2: Have a listen, hey, verballers, it's Brian, your week two

835
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 2: hofensive coordinator. While mini schools wait till Thanksgiving weekend for

836
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:24,320
Speaker 2: hate week, the start of the season means elasigo in Iowa.

837
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 2: In honor of that, let's take ourselves to the shores

838
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:30,440
Speaker 2: of the Iowa River and the bars of Welschaff to

839
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:33,799
Speaker 2: enjoy the beer of Iowa bush Light. There's not much

840
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 2: Hawkeyes and cyclones can agree on, but with nearly sixteen

841
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:39,800
Speaker 2: million gallons of bush Light sold each year in Iowa,

842
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:42,319
Speaker 2: there's one thing we can agree on. We like our

843
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 2: bush Light. It's affordable and thirst quenching on a humid

844
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:50,399
Speaker 2: college football Saturday. Have a great Saturday, and remember enjoy responsibly.

845
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 1: Now. Look, it's not a high brow suggestion, Dan, right,

846
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 1: but we're nothing if not the show of the working

847
00:44:56,520 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 1: man here on the solid verbal so I preciate not

848
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:04,440
Speaker 1: only the production quality I noticed that too, ty better

849
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 1: than most podcasts that are out there, oh yeah, but

850
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 1: also the level of research. Sixteen million gallons? How about that?

851
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 3: Is that our loan beer recommendation for the week bush Light.

852
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 1: We did get a few that throughout Shiner Bach as well.

853
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:20,240
Speaker 3: Okay, because of A and M. Clemson.

854
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 1: I am Clemson.

855
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:22,480
Speaker 3: I love a good Shiner.

856
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:25,759
Speaker 1: We'll go with a dual pronged solid ore this week.

857
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:26,799
Speaker 1: Send us old.

858
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:31,320
Speaker 3: Barrel hopensive coordinator, that's right, cohopensive coordinator, that's.

859
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:35,239
Speaker 1: Right, either bush Light or Shiner Bock. I'm with it

860
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 1: all right, Thank you, Brian. Good job. Saturday at seven

861
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 1: pm on ESPN, we've got Clemson traveling two Texas A

862
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 1: and M. We do line here is now twelve. You

863
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 1: might remember last week. Both teams looked pretty good in

864
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:56,680
Speaker 1: week one. And you know, maybe this isn't a rational

865
00:45:56,840 --> 00:46:01,680
Speaker 1: fear of mind, Dan Okay, I suddenly find myself terrified

866
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:04,359
Speaker 1: to make any kind of prediction about Texas A and M.

867
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:11,520
Speaker 1: Why there's a lot back from a year ago, Not

868
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 1: the coaching staff, but a lot back in terms of personnel,

869
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:18,840
Speaker 1: and they feel like a real wild card to me,

870
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 1: Like maybe I'm a little punch drunk from seven hundred

871
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 1: and fifty eight total yards in Week one or two

872
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:30,960
Speaker 1: hundred and forty yards and three touchdowns from Traveon Williams.

873
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:34,879
Speaker 1: But they scare me a little bit. They really do.

874
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 1: They should. How do you feel about this game?

875
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 3: Everything tells me to just take the points, and that

876
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:49,360
Speaker 3: clems an old whim and so I think I'm going

877
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:52,320
Speaker 3: to do that. I like, I mean, you have experience

878
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 3: watching the instant impact of Mike Alco with a talented defense.

879
00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 3: I think that's not unfair to point out especially, I mean,

880
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:02,399
Speaker 3: you can't really talk about how they looked last week.

881
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 3: They played Thursday night. I want to say it was

882
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 3: Northwestern State and dominated them. That's fine. Clemson in all phases,

883
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 3: perhaps other than quarterback, after the way they finished last year,

884
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:15,400
Speaker 3: is a team you should have a ton of confidence in.

885
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 3: They're deep, they're fast, they're strong. They have the best

886
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:22,239
Speaker 3: defensive line in the country, and even behind that defensive line,

887
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:24,799
Speaker 3: the secondary should be very good. The linebacking course should

888
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 3: be very good. And Kellen Mond has been pretty competitive

889
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:32,000
Speaker 3: in big games. You saw him give Alabama a lot

890
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 3: to worry about last year at home with the crowd

891
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 3: behind him and them.

892
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:38,399
Speaker 1: I am.

893
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 3: Less confident in Kelly Bryant and or Trevor Lawrence in

894
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:46,799
Speaker 3: Kyle Field than I thought I would be if we

895
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:49,520
Speaker 3: were talking about this game week eight nine, last year,

896
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:55,239
Speaker 3: whatever whatever week, they didn't lose to Syracuse. So I

897
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:56,799
Speaker 3: am going to take the points. There's no way I

898
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 3: think Texa, A and M wins this game outright. It's

899
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 3: just too much of a slog against the excellence that

900
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:05,319
Speaker 3: is Clemson. But I think Clemson only wins this game

901
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:07,279
Speaker 3: by ten. I have this thirty four to twenty four

902
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:13,359
Speaker 3: Clemson man, and like, even giving up twenty four from

903
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:17,640
Speaker 3: this Clemson defense feels, you know, maybe it's twenty four fourteen.

904
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:21,800
Speaker 3: I don't know, But about ten is that sweet spot

905
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:22,840
Speaker 3: for me in this matchup.

906
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:26,440
Speaker 1: I'll say this, I went five of ten in our

907
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 1: pickam pool, which I've got bragging. Yeah, I've got some

908
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:34,279
Speaker 1: congratulations that are in order here, which I'll get to

909
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 1: at the end of the show. People who did really

910
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 1: well in our pick them pool, don't forget. You can

911
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:41,279
Speaker 1: go out and you can play for free soliverble dot

912
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:46,200
Speaker 1: Com Slash pick them if you're interested. My initial thought

913
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:50,760
Speaker 1: here was Clemson minus anything. What I'm finding the longer

914
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:53,600
Speaker 1: we do this show is that every time I bet

915
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 1: against myself, I do better. So I think we agree here.

916
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:00,360
Speaker 1: Give me Texas SAY and M plus to twelve points.

917
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:02,400
Speaker 1: I'm going to do it. I'm not gonna think twice.

918
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 1: I agree with you, Clemson's not going to lose this game.

919
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:08,440
Speaker 1: But there is a part of me that is genuinely

920
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:11,960
Speaker 1: terrified of Texas A and M and what they might

921
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:14,200
Speaker 1: be able to put forth with a better coaching staff.

922
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 1: And uh, it is early, so an early season game

923
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:21,800
Speaker 1: that's kind of a de facto national championship for them.

924
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:22,440
Speaker 1: Kind of.

925
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:26,440
Speaker 3: Yes, this is an extremely enticing matchup. If you're a

926
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:28,840
Speaker 3: Texas A and M fan, it's exciting. You're hoping for

927
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:33,480
Speaker 3: the best, And I think the most realistic parts of

928
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:36,719
Speaker 3: the souls of Texas A and M fans just want

929
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:39,359
Speaker 3: A and M to look competitive against a major team

930
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:43,400
Speaker 3: like this after some previous bouts these past few years.

931
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 3: If Texas A and M comes out and they're just

932
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:50,919
Speaker 3: out talented, I think that's okay. I think deep within

933
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:53,719
Speaker 3: the recesses of a Texas A and m hearts they're

934
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:54,759
Speaker 3: gonna be okay with that.

935
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:58,360
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Saturday at eight pm on ABC.

936
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:04,560
Speaker 1: We've got Penn State at pit. The rivalry continues. Nine

937
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:08,239
Speaker 1: and a half was your opening line. Some folks were

938
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 1: apparently spooked by what they saw from Penn State in

939
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:14,440
Speaker 1: week one. The line is now at eight and a

940
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:20,799
Speaker 1: half points. Okay, I understand, and I will acknowledge that

941
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:23,840
Speaker 1: it's tough for me to give analysis of this game

942
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:26,160
Speaker 1: because no matter what I say, it's going to come

943
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:29,440
Speaker 1: across as being biased towards my alma mater. Okay. I

944
00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 1: hope people who listen to this show, especially folks in

945
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 1: the great state of Pennsylvania. I hope they know me

946
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:38,400
Speaker 1: well enough at this point to know that that is

947
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:39,320
Speaker 1: not at all my intention.

948
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:41,600
Speaker 3: Are you a commonwealth or a state?

949
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 1: We are officially a commonwealth, then love my facts. I

950
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:48,919
Speaker 1: hope folks in the Commonwealth we'll know where I stand here.

951
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 3: Mm hmm.

952
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:52,959
Speaker 1: I think Penn State's gonna rip their arms and legs

953
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:56,120
Speaker 1: off from this game, Dan, really, I do? I do?

954
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:01,839
Speaker 3: Why I listen? Let we're not going to over try

955
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:05,160
Speaker 3: to overreact to I think app State is definitely better

956
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:08,080
Speaker 3: than we gave them credit for going into last week. Yeah,

957
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:11,200
Speaker 3: and Pitt we have no I mean to take down

958
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 3: Vincent Testa Verde Junior and the Great Danes of Albany

959
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:20,400
Speaker 3: is no small task, Tie, as you know. Yeah, Kenny

960
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:23,680
Speaker 3: Pickett looks to have some stability even with Ricky Town

961
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:26,399
Speaker 3: behind him at quarterback. Do you know while we were

962
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 3: while you were saying that, I was like, there has

963
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:30,960
Speaker 3: to be something with Picket like we had Wolford Wagon. Yeah,

964
00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 3: and I think I might be finding myself deep in

965
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:39,879
Speaker 3: the picket thicket. WHOA, I'm so ashamed of myself.

966
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:42,320
Speaker 1: Is pit Thicket is such a fun word to say?

967
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:48,239
Speaker 1: Is pit our our leading contestant in the ongoing like

968
00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:53,360
Speaker 1: nickname sweepstakes here that we've had on the program, Maybe

969
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:55,880
Speaker 1: because we had the secretly decent pit thing going for

970
00:51:55,920 --> 00:52:00,719
Speaker 1: a while. Sure, I don't know. Like Picket, he does

971
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:03,319
Speaker 1: scare me. The picket ticket is deep there and a

972
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:06,640
Speaker 1: little scary. There is some gumption to his game. Tie

973
00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:11,239
Speaker 1: also a rivalry game in which you gotta throw the

974
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 1: records out. That scares me too. Penn State was really

975
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:17,680
Speaker 1: good on defense for like three quarters against app State,

976
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:21,600
Speaker 1: and Miles Sanders had a very good game. Trace McSorley

977
00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:23,480
Speaker 1: had a very good game, picked up right where he

978
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 1: left off and was very poised, like five of six

979
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 1: on that final drive which led Penn State back to

980
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:34,399
Speaker 1: tie the football game. I am far more into Penn

981
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:38,120
Speaker 1: State just as a team than I am Pitt. I

982
00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:40,759
Speaker 1: went back and looked at my preview of Pitt and

983
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:43,239
Speaker 1: I might have been a little harsh on the Panthers,

984
00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:47,560
Speaker 1: but by and large, I just I know. I know

985
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:49,439
Speaker 1: there are going to be more Penn State fans there

986
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:53,120
Speaker 1: than Pitt fans, and it's probably not going to be

987
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:57,480
Speaker 1: as hostile an environment for road team as you might

988
00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:02,160
Speaker 1: think from watching the So I am I am all

989
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:04,239
Speaker 1: in on Penn State here. I'm not locking this up.

990
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:05,279
Speaker 1: I'm not going to get too crazy.

991
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:07,160
Speaker 3: What leads the way, what leads the way in their

992
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:10,480
Speaker 3: dominance is the defense. You know, Brent Pray getting everything

993
00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:15,920
Speaker 3: in order defensively after playing two point eight really solid quarters.

994
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:18,360
Speaker 3: When I was watching that Penn State game, there was

995
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:20,520
Speaker 3: something about like, oh yeah, Penn State put the chubby

996
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:22,720
Speaker 3: kid forth on the relay team and they just assumed

997
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:25,760
Speaker 3: everything would be okay, right, and then it was dramatic

998
00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:29,600
Speaker 3: at the end and so getting things in order defensively

999
00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:33,560
Speaker 3: or on offense, just coming out with a lot more juice,

1000
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:36,279
Speaker 3: you know, with Trace McSorley, getting to know a new

1001
00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:39,040
Speaker 3: coordinator a little bit better, getting to know new players

1002
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:42,279
Speaker 3: around them a little bit better. What is it that

1003
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 3: leads the way.

1004
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:47,320
Speaker 1: I think it's Trace mcswiry, and I think it's Miles Sanders.

1005
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:50,800
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders really good in that first game, really good.

1006
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:53,680
Speaker 1: I think it's Trace mcswiry. I think it's Miles Sanders.

1007
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:56,320
Speaker 1: I think they find a creative way to use Tommy

1008
00:53:56,320 --> 00:54:00,359
Speaker 1: Stevens to loosen up the defense. I just Pennce has

1009
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:02,120
Speaker 1: more weapons on offense.

1010
00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:03,520
Speaker 3: Then Tommy the shovel.

1011
00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. I just I think

1012
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:09,920
Speaker 1: there's more there. I like Penn State by ten to

1013
00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:12,799
Speaker 1: fourteen points here, so I feel very confident about the

1014
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:13,719
Speaker 1: Knits on the road.

1015
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:17,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I like Penn State by like seventeen

1016
00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 3: to twenty three points. There is more to like about

1017
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:24,240
Speaker 3: pitt than meets the eye. The fact that they basically

1018
00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 3: returned their entire defense from last year. Kadria Allison, I

1019
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 3: think has a lot of talent, and I mean get

1020
00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:33,759
Speaker 3: rid of last week against Albany, but like there is

1021
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:37,880
Speaker 3: something there. There is something about Kenny Pickett who comes

1022
00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:42,080
Speaker 3: in completely unheralded and beats Miami last year. He's efficient,

1023
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:45,520
Speaker 3: he's not gonna like wow you down the field like crazy.

1024
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:51,719
Speaker 3: He's not even college Nate Peterman. But there's something improving

1025
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:54,960
Speaker 3: to me. There's something in the air. There's something I'm

1026
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:58,560
Speaker 3: feeling in the picket thicket ty, But it's not this week.

1027
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:03,719
Speaker 1: All right? We agree, and Dan, we agree. Saturday eight

1028
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:05,759
Speaker 1: thirty on Fox see what I'm talking about here. A

1029
00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:10,319
Speaker 1: lot of night action going on USC on the road

1030
00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:14,280
Speaker 1: at Stanford. The line is now at five. Both teams

1031
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:17,360
Speaker 1: started off a little sluggish in week one, pulled away

1032
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:21,440
Speaker 1: in the second half. USC, of course over UNLV, Stanford

1033
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:25,000
Speaker 1: over San Diego State. I loved what we saw from

1034
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:27,759
Speaker 1: both quarterbacks in week one. I thought JT Daniels was

1035
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:32,400
Speaker 1: really impressive. Cold Yeah, I thought kJ Costello was very good. Actually,

1036
00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:37,120
Speaker 1: that kJ to JJ connection not only was really good

1037
00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:39,959
Speaker 1: to watch, but has serious staying power just in terms

1038
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:42,360
Speaker 1: of a thing that we could play out on the podcast.

1039
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:47,040
Speaker 1: So I'm excited on a personal selfish level for that. Sure,

1040
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:52,480
Speaker 1: what's interesting in that game is how San Diego State

1041
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:57,680
Speaker 1: pretty much devoted every single solitary defensive resource to trying

1042
00:55:57,719 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 1: to stop Bryce Love and they did. To their credit,

1043
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:03,400
Speaker 1: it did work. They held them with twenty nine yards,

1044
00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:08,960
Speaker 1: but it opened up the passing game for kJ Costello

1045
00:56:09,239 --> 00:56:15,040
Speaker 1: and JJ Arthega White size JJ. Yeah, it showed us

1046
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:18,200
Speaker 1: that kJ Costello can do that. If you try to

1047
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:20,920
Speaker 1: load up the box, kJ can beat you deep, and

1048
00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:25,000
Speaker 1: that's what happened here. I think this is going to

1049
00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:26,680
Speaker 1: be a different game. I don't think USC is going

1050
00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:28,799
Speaker 1: to try to do that. I don't think they think

1051
00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:33,080
Speaker 1: that's a winning formula, and that should open up things

1052
00:56:33,120 --> 00:56:34,920
Speaker 1: for Bryce Love a little bit. He's gonna have his

1053
00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:37,120
Speaker 1: first one hundred yard game here the twenty eighteen season.

1054
00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:41,560
Speaker 1: H Is it fair to say, though, that we trust

1055
00:56:41,719 --> 00:56:44,399
Speaker 1: the Stanford offense more than its defense in this game?

1056
00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:45,480
Speaker 1: Is that a fair statement?

1057
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:50,840
Speaker 3: I mean, they look good last week against the pass

1058
00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:55,080
Speaker 3: mostly Joan Washington ran pretty consistently for the ADS TECs

1059
00:56:55,560 --> 00:57:00,000
Speaker 3: against the Stanford team up front, So yeah, I would

1060
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:03,040
Speaker 3: say so yeah that this offense with the line in

1061
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 3: front of kJ Costello with confidence, I think building every

1062
00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:10,400
Speaker 3: day for kJ Costello and you know, knowing who he

1063
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:14,480
Speaker 3: has to throw to Yes, there's much more to be

1064
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:16,200
Speaker 3: confident in with this cardinal offense.

1065
00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:20,640
Speaker 1: I feel more confident about Stanford's offensive line, with like

1066
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:23,800
Speaker 1: four guys back from a year ago whatever. I feel

1067
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:27,120
Speaker 1: more confident in them wearing down USC's front than almost

1068
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:30,480
Speaker 1: anything else. They've got veteran receivers. I think they'll make

1069
00:57:30,520 --> 00:57:34,280
Speaker 1: plays against USC's secondary. I also think they're gonna find

1070
00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:36,680
Speaker 1: a way to ruffle JT. Daniels because it's his first

1071
00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:39,760
Speaker 1: road start. He's very good. He's gonna be very good.

1072
00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:41,840
Speaker 1: He's only gonna get better as the year wears on.

1073
00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:44,480
Speaker 1: But I do think it's a difference in this game.

1074
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:47,640
Speaker 1: I think Stanford wins something like twenty eight twenty.

1075
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:52,200
Speaker 3: We aggressively agree. So the spread is actually the line

1076
00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:54,560
Speaker 3: has gone up right. It opened at like three three

1077
00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:56,720
Speaker 3: and a half, went to four. Now it's up to

1078
00:57:56,760 --> 00:57:59,240
Speaker 3: five five and a half depending on where you look. Yeah,

1079
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:04,040
Speaker 3: the case for USC is pretty straightforward. It's that recently,

1080
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:08,040
Speaker 3: as in last year, with Sam Darnold a better quarterback,

1081
00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:14,520
Speaker 3: USC didn't need big plays to succeed. They seem to

1082
00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:18,000
Speaker 3: be much more efficient than Stanford offensively. They didn't need

1083
00:58:18,040 --> 00:58:20,520
Speaker 3: to rely and in listen there's nothing wrong with it

1084
00:58:20,560 --> 00:58:23,640
Speaker 3: if it works. But Stanford's offense last year, as they

1085
00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:26,680
Speaker 3: were sort of transitioning quarterbacks was damn. I hope Bryce

1086
00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:28,840
Speaker 3: love rush is for two hundred and fifty seven yards

1087
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:32,640
Speaker 3: on seven carries, because if not, then things are going

1088
00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:35,440
Speaker 3: south for a bit for a stretch for the offense.

1089
00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:38,800
Speaker 3: Whereas USC was able to spread the ball around. You know,

1090
00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:41,360
Speaker 3: obviously they have Ronald Jones this year, Stephen Carr. I

1091
00:58:41,360 --> 00:58:42,960
Speaker 3: don't think is that far of a drop off from

1092
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:45,680
Speaker 3: Ronald Jones. He's not quite Ronald Jones. But there is

1093
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:51,120
Speaker 3: something at least comforting I would say about this offense

1094
00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:55,160
Speaker 3: not needing very specific things to win. Stanford, Yes, took

1095
00:58:55,160 --> 00:58:57,480
Speaker 3: a step in that direction last week, but you know

1096
00:58:57,520 --> 00:59:00,640
Speaker 3: it's Week one against a Mountain West team, West team.

1097
00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:03,800
Speaker 3: But I don't know how much you can fully take

1098
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:05,880
Speaker 3: from it when this defense from USC is going to

1099
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:09,440
Speaker 3: be more talented. You can run on USC, though you

1100
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:11,960
Speaker 3: could run on USC last year and they lost the

1101
00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:14,800
Speaker 3: good players they had upfront, the starters up front, and

1102
00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:20,360
Speaker 3: UNLV ran on USC. They didn't dominate USC, but they

1103
00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:24,040
Speaker 3: by no means got pushed around. USC got run on

1104
00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:26,440
Speaker 3: last week, and it's only going to get more difficult

1105
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:27,240
Speaker 3: against Stanford.

1106
00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:27,760
Speaker 1: JT.

1107
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:30,760
Speaker 3: Daniels, I think is going to quit himself. Well, but

1108
00:59:30,880 --> 00:59:32,760
Speaker 3: this is still a tough ask to go on the

1109
00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:35,320
Speaker 3: road and beat Stanford, especially as a place USC has

1110
00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:37,800
Speaker 3: struggled these past couple times they've been up to pal Alto.

1111
00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:41,840
Speaker 3: I am taking Stanford just because of the consistency. To me,

1112
00:59:42,480 --> 00:59:47,439
Speaker 3: USC is going to score points. What was your final score? Yeah,

1113
00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:51,320
Speaker 3: I'm thinking it's like thirty to twenty four, so in

1114
00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:55,120
Speaker 3: that same region a little bit closer, but yeah, maybe

1115
00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:58,720
Speaker 3: even like thirty three twenty four. I don't know. It's

1116
00:59:58,720 --> 01:00:01,640
Speaker 3: a lot about not doubled. Yeah, it's a lot of points,

1117
01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:06,280
Speaker 3: but I feel pretty good about it. So yeah, not

1118
01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:08,280
Speaker 3: only do I have Stanford winning tie?

1119
01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:15,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, wuck it up, Blunk of the week. That's a

1120
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:18,280
Speaker 1: bold play, Dan, that is a bold play.

1121
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:20,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, that's who I am.

1122
01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:23,760
Speaker 1: And finally, the late late game, in the hot, hot

1123
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:28,960
Speaker 1: heat of the desert, ten five pm Eastern time on ESPN,

1124
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:33,360
Speaker 1: it's Michigan State traveling to Tempe to square off against

1125
01:00:33,360 --> 01:00:38,040
Speaker 1: HERM Edwards and the new look Sun Devils. Interestingly enough,

1126
01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:40,680
Speaker 1: this point spread opened at six and a half and

1127
01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:44,600
Speaker 1: has come down ever so slightly. It has come down.

1128
01:00:45,200 --> 01:00:47,360
Speaker 1: You are gonna have to help me figure this one out.

1129
01:00:47,400 --> 01:00:47,560
Speaker 4: Dan.

1130
01:00:48,520 --> 01:00:51,480
Speaker 1: It has come down, which means that people are throwing

1131
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:54,840
Speaker 1: money behind herm Edwards NFL mindset.

1132
01:00:55,520 --> 01:00:58,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true. That's exactly what they're thinking when they

1133
01:00:58,200 --> 01:00:59,800
Speaker 3: throw their their money behind ASU.

1134
01:01:00,520 --> 01:01:03,120
Speaker 1: I loved Michigan State and all the previews we did.

1135
01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:06,520
Speaker 1: I went back, I reread them. I loved, loved Michigan

1136
01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:11,400
Speaker 1: State and the week one hiccup against Utah State. It

1137
01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:14,040
Speaker 1: doesn't scare me, maybe as much as it would have

1138
01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:18,200
Speaker 1: eight years ago when we started, when we started doing

1139
01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:23,000
Speaker 1: this podcast, right, but I also liked ASU more than

1140
01:01:23,040 --> 01:01:26,320
Speaker 1: I expected in our previews. Just in watching week one,

1141
01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:28,760
Speaker 1: it didn't feel like they were in disarray. It just

1142
01:01:29,320 --> 01:01:32,840
Speaker 1: sort of felt like they had control. The defense was

1143
01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:35,600
Speaker 1: better than expected, the offense a little better than expected.

1144
01:01:35,640 --> 01:01:39,520
Speaker 1: I didn't hate ASU the way I expected. And now

1145
01:01:39,560 --> 01:01:43,640
Speaker 1: I'm looking at this game ten forty five, a hot one,

1146
01:01:44,160 --> 01:01:46,800
Speaker 1: and it has the makings of a game where I

1147
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:50,880
Speaker 1: fall asleep at halftime of the first quarter and I

1148
01:01:50,920 --> 01:01:52,880
Speaker 1: wake up at three am. I checked my phone and

1149
01:01:52,920 --> 01:01:56,880
Speaker 1: I see ah ASU won thirty two to thirty. I

1150
01:01:56,920 --> 01:02:00,400
Speaker 1: am leaning ASU here, talk me out of this outright. No,

1151
01:02:00,520 --> 01:02:01,560
Speaker 1: not outright, no, no, no.

1152
01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:03,800
Speaker 3: Okay, because you just said thirty two to thirty as.

1153
01:02:03,840 --> 01:02:06,880
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that's likely, but I am leaning in

1154
01:02:06,960 --> 01:02:09,080
Speaker 1: the direction of ASU plus the points here.

1155
01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:12,200
Speaker 3: It's well, first of all, it's gonna be warm, very

1156
01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:15,360
Speaker 3: it's gonna be a hot one like seven inches from

1157
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:16,280
Speaker 3: the midday, SUNTI.

1158
01:02:16,560 --> 01:02:18,880
Speaker 1: If you are do I have to go on. No,

1159
01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:22,080
Speaker 1: if you are playing any kind of drinking game on

1160
01:02:22,120 --> 01:02:24,400
Speaker 1: the West coast, yeah, on the East coast, if you're

1161
01:02:24,440 --> 01:02:30,240
Speaker 1: really into your booze. Any reference to the temperature, maybe

1162
01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:34,000
Speaker 1: they'll show one of those old dial thermometers on the sidelines, and.

1163
01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:36,600
Speaker 3: The sideline reporter is one hundred percent gonna have some

1164
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:40,400
Speaker 3: sort of handheld thermometer, and like, look look at these guys.

1165
01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:43,120
Speaker 3: It's it's it might say it's one hundred and three outside,

1166
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:46,560
Speaker 3: but it's it's registering one hundred and eighteen on the field.

1167
01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:49,720
Speaker 1: Like maybe somebody outside the stadium trying to fry an

1168
01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:51,680
Speaker 1: egg on the macadam one of those things.

1169
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:52,400
Speaker 3: Mm hmm.

1170
01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:56,800
Speaker 1: Any reference to the temperature, just take one drink, please

1171
01:02:56,840 --> 01:02:58,120
Speaker 1: don't hydrate.

1172
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:03,280
Speaker 3: Okay, So to talk you out of ASU making this

1173
01:03:03,360 --> 01:03:04,680
Speaker 3: a game. Is that what you're asking me to do?

1174
01:03:04,920 --> 01:03:07,280
Speaker 1: I guess, yeah, I can't really do that.

1175
01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:09,360
Speaker 3: I mean, if you want to look at the negatives

1176
01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:13,040
Speaker 3: recently about ASU against UTSA, they are pretty sloppy, a

1177
01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:15,680
Speaker 3: lot of penalties, a lot of shooting themselves in the foot,

1178
01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:19,240
Speaker 3: and against a team that at its peak is happy

1179
01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:22,600
Speaker 3: to take advantage of things like that. Michigan State would

1180
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:25,600
Speaker 3: comfortably win if ASU is as sloppy. But I sort

1181
01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:28,720
Speaker 3: of look at that as week one stuff, but probably

1182
01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:33,760
Speaker 3: too worrisome to take ASU that. If you are going

1183
01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:36,360
Speaker 3: to beat a Michigan State team with this much returning experience,

1184
01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:41,360
Speaker 3: you have to have your crap in order. I didn't

1185
01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:45,200
Speaker 3: want to swear tie as a family show that all said.

1186
01:03:46,160 --> 01:03:49,640
Speaker 3: Michigan State under Mark d Antonio recently hasn't really gone

1187
01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:51,560
Speaker 3: on the road in September and now they did a

1188
01:03:51,560 --> 01:03:53,680
Speaker 3: couple of years ago against Notre Dame. But this is

1189
01:03:53,680 --> 01:03:56,720
Speaker 3: not a team who makes statements early on in the

1190
01:03:57,520 --> 01:04:02,360
Speaker 3: old fashioned shower V. Grower debates, right, Michigan State seems

1191
01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:04,600
Speaker 3: to grow a little bit. They seem to win ugly

1192
01:04:04,640 --> 01:04:06,880
Speaker 3: against good teams, and that's fine. Win is a win.

1193
01:04:07,840 --> 01:04:12,320
Speaker 3: But they just don't feel like the If Michigan State

1194
01:04:12,440 --> 01:04:15,400
Speaker 3: actually were the top I don't know what their ranking

1195
01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:17,120
Speaker 3: is right now, what are they in the top twelve

1196
01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:17,560
Speaker 3: or something?

1197
01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:17,919
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1198
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:23,800
Speaker 3: Right, If they were of that quality, they would beat

1199
01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:27,640
Speaker 3: Arizona State, you know, thirty one to fourteen. It just

1200
01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:30,640
Speaker 3: it doesn't for whatever reason. This is just a dumb

1201
01:04:30,760 --> 01:04:33,800
Speaker 3: gut thing that I can't really explain. I don't think

1202
01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:36,040
Speaker 3: they're there. They don't. They don't, and they haven't been

1203
01:04:36,120 --> 01:04:39,360
Speaker 3: running the ball well enough to control the game. On offense.

1204
01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:43,600
Speaker 3: Brian Lawurki is pretty good, but this is a This

1205
01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:45,760
Speaker 3: is still a tough ass. This is a pretty towns

1206
01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:48,560
Speaker 3: in Arizona State team with an experienced quarterback maybe the

1207
01:04:48,600 --> 01:04:51,560
Speaker 3: best receiver in the country. I'm taking the points and

1208
01:04:51,640 --> 01:04:55,680
Speaker 3: not asking any more questions or making any more statements. Dan,

1209
01:04:55,960 --> 01:04:57,959
Speaker 3: with you just not there with Michigan State.

1210
01:04:58,120 --> 01:05:01,919
Speaker 1: I agree. I feel the scene sentiment, and because it's

1211
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:12,400
Speaker 1: so hot, Dan, home dog of the week, not just

1212
01:05:12,520 --> 01:05:14,840
Speaker 1: the home dog of the week, Dan, the hot dog

1213
01:05:14,880 --> 01:05:17,960
Speaker 1: of the week. Here the hot dog, hot dog of

1214
01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:18,240
Speaker 1: the week.

1215
01:05:18,280 --> 01:05:20,560
Speaker 3: If you're in Phoenix. By the way, I know other

1216
01:05:20,560 --> 01:05:23,280
Speaker 3: people like other places better, and that's okay. Go where

1217
01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:26,880
Speaker 3: you want, but Pizzeria Bianco is probably one of my

1218
01:05:26,880 --> 01:05:29,680
Speaker 3: favorite three pizza places in the country. You know what,

1219
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:31,320
Speaker 3: And there's a couple locations in that area.

1220
01:05:31,360 --> 01:05:31,720
Speaker 1: Have you been?

1221
01:05:31,760 --> 01:05:32,480
Speaker 3: Did I take you there?

1222
01:05:33,560 --> 01:05:35,840
Speaker 1: I don't think we went to a pizza Okay, No, okay,

1223
01:05:35,920 --> 01:05:37,480
Speaker 1: we went to a place where I got a torta.

1224
01:05:37,880 --> 01:05:39,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right, was not Pizzeria Bianco.

1225
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:42,520
Speaker 1: No. I'm hungry for a slice of pizza now though,

1226
01:05:42,680 --> 01:05:45,240
Speaker 1: so I might do that after we record good same

1227
01:05:45,840 --> 01:05:48,640
Speaker 1: all right, before we go rapid fire through a bunch

1228
01:05:48,680 --> 01:05:51,280
Speaker 1: of other contests that need to be mentioned here on

1229
01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:54,560

01:07:14,560 --> 01:07:18,080
Speaker 1: Here Saturday high nuone on ESPNU. We've got the Duke

1252
01:07:18,120 --> 01:07:21,000
Speaker 1: Blue Devils on the road at Northwestern. The line is

1253
01:07:21,080 --> 01:07:25,440
Speaker 1: two and a half. I am all in on Northwestern

1254
01:07:25,480 --> 01:07:28,000
Speaker 1: this year. Not its like not as a twelve and

1255
01:07:28,040 --> 01:07:29,760
Speaker 1: oh team. But I locked them up last week and

1256
01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:32,680
Speaker 1: he said, really, really do you want them? I like

1257
01:07:32,760 --> 01:07:35,320
Speaker 1: Northwestern to win here, I like them to cover. I

1258
01:07:35,360 --> 01:07:38,080
Speaker 1: do like this football team, So give me the Cats.

1259
01:07:38,440 --> 01:07:39,840
Speaker 3: I agree. Give me the Cats.

1260
01:07:40,280 --> 01:07:45,400
Speaker 1: Saturday at high noon on ABC, Arizona at Houston. This

1261
01:07:45,560 --> 01:07:48,320
Speaker 1: line started at four. I think it's at about four

1262
01:07:48,320 --> 01:07:50,600
Speaker 1: and a half or five now, depending on where you look.

1263
01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:53,440
Speaker 1: This is a game, Dan. I looked at it and

1264
01:07:53,480 --> 01:07:57,280
Speaker 1: I said, hah hmm, I got to pick Arizona. But

1265
01:07:57,320 --> 01:07:59,480
Speaker 1: then I looked at a little bit more and I said, ooh,

1266
01:07:59,560 --> 01:08:03,000
Speaker 1: I got a Deerick King. I was. I was surprised

1267
01:08:03,040 --> 01:08:05,520
Speaker 1: to see the line, but I love it, Oliver. I

1268
01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:10,560
Speaker 1: love dear King. I am going to take Houston to

1269
01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:12,040
Speaker 1: winning cover here at home.

1270
01:08:13,040 --> 01:08:15,920
Speaker 3: It's gonna be real stanky. This is a it's gonna

1271
01:08:15,920 --> 01:08:18,439
Speaker 3: be a hot one tie again. I cannot tell you

1272
01:08:18,479 --> 01:08:20,120
Speaker 3: how close it'll be to the midday sun, but I

1273
01:08:20,120 --> 01:08:22,719
Speaker 3: think this game is actually midday, So this one actually

1274
01:08:22,800 --> 01:08:25,240
Speaker 3: makes sense. Derek King is very good obviously as new

1275
01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:29,000
Speaker 3: offensive coordinator as Kendall Briles. That combination seemed to you know,

1276
01:08:29,040 --> 01:08:31,160
Speaker 3: after a slow start against Rice last week. It picked

1277
01:08:31,240 --> 01:08:34,200
Speaker 3: up Marquez Stevenson looks like he could blossom into a

1278
01:08:34,200 --> 01:08:37,639
Speaker 3: go to receiver. So I am. I am going Houston

1279
01:08:37,920 --> 01:08:42,240
Speaker 3: confidently to win this game because a bad defense, a

1280
01:08:42,360 --> 01:08:45,160
Speaker 3: new coach not able to figure out what to do

1281
01:08:45,200 --> 01:08:49,439
Speaker 3: with this quarterback, all that well, and just crippling humidity.

1282
01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:52,040
Speaker 3: It is not my favorite combo. I am happy to

1283
01:08:52,040 --> 01:08:54,120
Speaker 3: pick against Arizona here for the time being.

1284
01:08:54,560 --> 01:09:00,360
Speaker 1: Saturday at one pm on Fox Ucla at Oklahoma. The

1285
01:09:00,439 --> 01:09:05,160
Speaker 1: line is thirty and one half. Wow. Before the year,

1286
01:09:05,360 --> 01:09:08,559
Speaker 1: this looks like a game that could be interesting because

1287
01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:11,880
Speaker 1: of the Chip Kelly thing, because of Kyler Murray, and

1288
01:09:12,520 --> 01:09:16,000
Speaker 1: they're really just Baker Mayfield moving on to the NFL.

1289
01:09:16,800 --> 01:09:19,280
Speaker 1: I would never in a million years been on Ucla

1290
01:09:19,320 --> 01:09:21,720
Speaker 1: to cover after what we saw last week. They could

1291
01:09:21,800 --> 01:09:25,360
Speaker 1: well do it, but I'm gonna go Oklahoma minus anything

1292
01:09:25,400 --> 01:09:27,559
Speaker 1: because they just seem like they're much much further along.

1293
01:09:29,040 --> 01:09:32,840
Speaker 3: That's fine, Ucla is going to get. I mean, it's

1294
01:09:32,880 --> 01:09:36,880
Speaker 3: week one and it's a backup quarterback thrust into action.

1295
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:40,680
Speaker 3: Granted Cincinnati, they should be better against Cincinnati. Oklahoma is

1296
01:09:41,040 --> 01:09:46,560
Speaker 3: probably very very good. My concern if I'm Oklahoma is

1297
01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:49,800
Speaker 3: is it a letdown? Look ahead? Sandwich ooh Iowa State

1298
01:09:49,920 --> 01:09:54,400
Speaker 3: next week? You know, revenge spot for Oklahoma. FAU. This

1299
01:09:54,560 --> 01:09:57,640
Speaker 3: was mostly a roundabout way to insult UCLA, and I apologize.

1300
01:09:57,760 --> 01:10:01,400
Speaker 3: Ucla is going to take some time. I like Oklahoma here.

1301
01:10:01,479 --> 01:10:05,200
Speaker 3: I think Oklahoma comfortably beat thirty so many points.

1302
01:10:05,200 --> 01:10:05,320
Speaker 1: Though.

1303
01:10:05,479 --> 01:10:08,599
Speaker 3: Time I think Oklahoma takes it, I think that it's

1304
01:10:08,640 --> 01:10:12,240
Speaker 3: going to be something like fifty two to I don't know.

1305
01:10:12,640 --> 01:10:14,559
Speaker 3: I have to subtract thirty in my head. Right, So

1306
01:10:14,640 --> 01:10:18,080
Speaker 3: fifty two to seventeen fifty twenty.

1307
01:10:17,200 --> 01:10:20,080
Speaker 1: Fifty two to twenty one gets a job done. Yeah, okay,

1308
01:10:20,760 --> 01:10:23,519
Speaker 1: what a dig at UCLA if they're being looked ahead

1309
01:10:23,520 --> 01:10:25,000
Speaker 1: because Iowa stats on deck?

1310
01:10:25,640 --> 01:10:28,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I apologize, that was me.

1311
01:10:28,600 --> 01:10:32,160
Speaker 1: Saturday at three thirty on Big ten Network, Rutgers at

1312
01:10:32,400 --> 01:10:37,400
Speaker 1: Ohio State. This line is another hefty one thirty five points.

1313
01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:41,280
Speaker 1: My prediction here is that King Arthur Sitkowski has three

1314
01:10:41,320 --> 01:10:44,840
Speaker 1: to four interceptions. Not because I have anything against Arthur Sitkowski.

1315
01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:46,080
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of King Arthur.

1316
01:10:46,400 --> 01:10:48,960
Speaker 3: Well, he threw three picks against Texas State. Yeah, you're

1317
01:10:49,520 --> 01:10:51,400
Speaker 3: not way way out there saying.

1318
01:10:51,200 --> 01:10:53,400
Speaker 1: That I'm going to go Ohio State minus anything here.

1319
01:10:53,760 --> 01:10:55,640
Speaker 3: Yep, same agree.

1320
01:10:55,680 --> 01:10:58,240
Speaker 1: Saturday at three thirty on ABC. This is an old

1321
01:10:58,280 --> 01:11:03,160
Speaker 1: school matchup, old school matchup, Colorado at Nebraska. Going to

1322
01:11:03,200 --> 01:11:06,320
Speaker 1: be Nebraska's first game of the Scott Frost Era. They

1323
01:11:06,360 --> 01:11:09,920
Speaker 1: didn't play last week because of mother nature. The line

1324
01:11:10,040 --> 01:11:13,240
Speaker 1: is four and one half. Who you got.

1325
01:11:14,280 --> 01:11:18,200
Speaker 3: First of all, this matchup to me is triggering. Wasn't

1326
01:11:18,240 --> 01:11:21,320
Speaker 3: this the the Big twelve championship game that Nebraska got

1327
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:24,120
Speaker 3: destroyed in and still went to the national Championship? Yeah,

1328
01:11:24,160 --> 01:11:26,200
Speaker 3: and that's right two thousand and one instead of Oregon.

1329
01:11:26,439 --> 01:11:32,120
Speaker 3: Real cool, real cool, everybody. I went back and forth

1330
01:11:32,160 --> 01:11:34,479
Speaker 3: in this game. So Nebraska obviously misses their first week

1331
01:11:34,520 --> 01:11:38,559
Speaker 3: because of mother nature. The ultimate dude, Colorado looks really good,

1332
01:11:38,600 --> 01:11:41,639
Speaker 3: but is it a Colorado state bump? Who's to say

1333
01:11:42,560 --> 01:11:42,920
Speaker 3: they have?

1334
01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:43,479
Speaker 4: It?

1335
01:11:43,520 --> 01:11:48,960
Speaker 3: Is, by the way, a magnificent year for well named receivers. Yes,

1336
01:11:49,040 --> 01:11:53,360
Speaker 3: so we've got laviska Chnault for Colorado. There is Randall

1337
01:11:53,479 --> 01:11:59,760
Speaker 3: Saint Felix for USF who sounds like like a Seinfeld.

1338
01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:04,639
Speaker 3: A AJ Pennypacker was Kramer. It feels like his business

1339
01:12:04,680 --> 01:12:09,639
Speaker 3: associate and fellow industrialist was Randall Saint Felix. I feel

1340
01:12:09,720 --> 01:12:13,040
Speaker 3: there's an Osyrus Williams somewhere. I want to say, is

1341
01:12:13,040 --> 01:12:16,519
Speaker 3: that Mississippi State a mon raw whatever? At USC It's

1342
01:12:16,600 --> 01:12:19,920
Speaker 3: just a wonderful, wonderful name here for receivers, which is

1343
01:12:20,040 --> 01:12:22,840
Speaker 3: a very roundabout way of saying I think I'm going

1344
01:12:22,920 --> 01:12:25,360
Speaker 3: Nebraska here. It worries me that they're starting a true

1345
01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:28,840
Speaker 3: freshman with you know, the pressure that's not just going

1346
01:12:28,920 --> 01:12:30,880
Speaker 3: to be on Scott Frost, but his proxy is going

1347
01:12:30,920 --> 01:12:33,519
Speaker 3: to be Adrian Martinez on the field. It took a

1348
01:12:33,560 --> 01:12:36,840
Speaker 3: little bit of time for UCF to get going, but

1349
01:12:37,920 --> 01:12:41,759
Speaker 3: there's something about I'm actually not really talking to myself

1350
01:12:41,760 --> 01:12:44,160
Speaker 3: into Nebraska. I think Colorado does a good job in

1351
01:12:44,160 --> 01:12:46,599
Speaker 3: this game, but it's in Lincoln, So I'm just going

1352
01:12:46,600 --> 01:12:47,160
Speaker 3: to Nebraska.

1353
01:12:47,280 --> 01:12:49,759
Speaker 1: So you go against Stevie Montes.

1354
01:12:50,280 --> 01:12:53,840
Speaker 3: I'm going against Stevie Montes. Yes, Dan, let's do it

1355
01:12:54,320 --> 01:12:54,680
Speaker 3: all right?

1356
01:12:55,400 --> 01:13:02,639
Speaker 1: Lock wow, let's get this Scott fraud type train rolling baby. Yeah,

1357
01:13:02,720 --> 01:13:05,599
Speaker 1: give me Nebraska minus the points here, lock it up?

1358
01:13:06,000 --> 01:13:09,840
Speaker 3: Is it more about Colorado uncertainty? That's what it is

1359
01:13:09,880 --> 01:13:11,880
Speaker 3: to make because I don't think Nebraska is all that good.

1360
01:13:12,280 --> 01:13:14,200
Speaker 1: No, it's absolutely what it's about.

1361
01:13:14,840 --> 01:13:19,200
Speaker 3: Okay, just making sure. I think Laviska Chanaults, Wow, what

1362
01:13:19,240 --> 01:13:20,439
Speaker 3: a name is really good?

1363
01:13:20,439 --> 01:13:24,599
Speaker 1: Though? All right? Saturday at seven point thirty on the

1364
01:13:24,640 --> 01:13:29,760
Speaker 1: SEC Network, Kentucky at Florida, Florida a fourteen and a

1365
01:13:29,800 --> 01:13:35,240
Speaker 1: half point favorite. Dan, I think I think Florida destroys

1366
01:13:35,320 --> 01:13:36,280
Speaker 1: Kentucky in this game.

1367
01:13:38,280 --> 01:13:40,439
Speaker 3: Do you think there's a chance that Dan Mullen comes

1368
01:13:40,439 --> 01:13:44,479
Speaker 3: in year one? In the streak adds that Kentucky just goes.

1369
01:13:44,560 --> 01:13:49,120
Speaker 3: I think Florida comfortably wins this in a very emphatic

1370
01:13:49,160 --> 01:13:51,960
Speaker 3: way as well, because Kentucky doesn't have a quarterback, no,

1371
01:13:52,720 --> 01:13:56,599
Speaker 3: and as many issues as Florida has, and there's some

1372
01:13:56,760 --> 01:13:59,880
Speaker 3: talent on defense, some talent on offense. Florida is deaf

1373
01:14:00,040 --> 01:14:02,920
Speaker 3: only not stock the way they have been even last year,

1374
01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:05,360
Speaker 3: the year before whatever. At the end of the Jimacawayan era,

1375
01:14:06,360 --> 01:14:10,040
Speaker 3: Kentucky is not good. I mean, Benny Snell is, but

1376
01:14:10,479 --> 01:14:13,400
Speaker 3: that's about it. That's all I really feel good about.

1377
01:14:13,920 --> 01:14:17,080
Speaker 1: Saturday seven thirty on FS one, We've got Fresno State

1378
01:14:17,120 --> 01:14:20,160
Speaker 1: at Minnesota. Minnesota two and a half points the favorite.

1379
01:14:20,200 --> 01:14:22,639
Speaker 1: As I said last week, PJ. Fleck has found God

1380
01:14:22,680 --> 01:14:27,800
Speaker 1: on the corner of Zach and Annick's dad, which I

1381
01:14:28,000 --> 01:14:32,320
Speaker 1: was rooted on to continue doing that. On Twitter, were you,

1382
01:14:32,560 --> 01:14:36,640
Speaker 1: I was, yeah, Twitter, I don't know why, but I

1383
01:14:36,720 --> 01:14:39,679
Speaker 1: was pretty high on Minnesota before the start of the year,

1384
01:14:39,920 --> 01:14:42,080
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna I'm gonna put my money where my

1385
01:14:42,120 --> 01:14:43,400
Speaker 1: mouth is disagree.

1386
01:14:44,640 --> 01:14:47,600
Speaker 3: I'm going to Fresno State how about that it's not

1387
01:14:47,640 --> 01:14:49,240
Speaker 3: a bad time to be in Minnesota. I don't know

1388
01:14:49,240 --> 01:14:50,880
Speaker 3: what the weather is, but you know I can get

1389
01:14:50,920 --> 01:14:53,320
Speaker 3: cold in that stadium's outside. Now, I'm going to go

1390
01:14:53,880 --> 01:14:56,600
Speaker 3: with the Mountain West High. I'm gonna go with Marcus mcmarion.

1391
01:14:56,760 --> 01:14:59,920
Speaker 3: This is a Fresno State team that they had a stretch.

1392
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:02,800
Speaker 3: Granted it was Idaho, there's your disclaimer. They had a

1393
01:15:02,840 --> 01:15:06,160
Speaker 3: stretch in like a quarter that was I want to say,

1394
01:15:06,360 --> 01:15:12,400
Speaker 3: block field goal touchdown pick six and then block pun

1395
01:15:12,520 --> 01:15:15,960
Speaker 3: or another blocked field goal touchdown. So there are many

1396
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:19,519
Speaker 3: ways to win, which I like going to a pretty

1397
01:15:19,520 --> 01:15:22,000
Speaker 3: far away road environment. So I'm going Fresno State here.

1398
01:15:22,000 --> 01:15:23,320
Speaker 3: I'm going Tedford to mcmarrion.

1399
01:15:23,479 --> 01:15:28,000
Speaker 1: Finally, Virginia at Indiana Saturday night. Indiana five and a

1400
01:15:28,040 --> 01:15:29,000
Speaker 1: half points a favorite.

1401
01:15:29,160 --> 01:15:30,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna go Indiana.

1402
01:15:30,160 --> 01:15:31,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Indiana.

1403
01:15:31,080 --> 01:15:33,040
Speaker 3: You were too high on Indiana during our Big Ten

1404
01:15:33,080 --> 01:15:34,360
Speaker 3: preview not to then.

1405
01:15:34,200 --> 01:15:37,320
Speaker 1: They changed their quarterback from Brandon Dawkins and suspended their

1406
01:15:37,400 --> 01:15:41,519
Speaker 1: running back. True, so maybe I'm gonna go Virginia. I'm

1407
01:15:41,520 --> 01:15:44,880
Speaker 1: gonna go against my initial instinct here. Okay, Virginia, sure,

1408
01:15:44,920 --> 01:15:47,519
Speaker 1: why not? Plus five and a half. Finally, we've got

1409
01:15:47,640 --> 01:15:51,160
Speaker 1: California at BYU two and a half points in favor

1410
01:15:51,200 --> 01:15:51,839
Speaker 1: of BYU.

1411
01:15:51,880 --> 01:15:56,240
Speaker 3: Who you got, I'm gonna take cal Here. I think

1412
01:15:56,240 --> 01:16:00,280
Speaker 3: BYU is definitely gonna be improved. But actually I didn't

1413
01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:02,599
Speaker 3: love the bower our last week. No, I'm still gonna

1414
01:16:02,640 --> 01:16:04,920
Speaker 3: go cal I'm still gonna go a step up this week.

1415
01:16:05,120 --> 01:16:07,160
Speaker 3: BYU plays a good game in the Desert. I think

1416
01:16:07,160 --> 01:16:10,320
Speaker 3: that was an adam a mean game. But I'm going

1417
01:16:10,360 --> 01:16:12,680
Speaker 3: to roll with the West Coast. I'm going cal here.

1418
01:16:12,720 --> 01:16:16,360
Speaker 3: I think they shut down Tanner Mangum in his well.

1419
01:16:16,360 --> 01:16:18,679
Speaker 3: I guess it's a special season because it's his tenth year.

1420
01:16:18,760 --> 01:16:21,400
Speaker 3: That's right, starting at quarterback for BYU. But I'm still

1421
01:16:21,400 --> 01:16:22,679
Speaker 3: go embarrass roll on you Bears.

1422
01:16:22,760 --> 01:16:24,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Bears as well, but I'm not going

1423
01:16:24,240 --> 01:16:25,920
Speaker 1: to play the sound. I don't want to jinx my

1424
01:16:25,920 --> 01:16:26,960
Speaker 1: boy Ross Bauers.

1425
01:16:27,200 --> 01:16:30,400
Speaker 3: Okay, that's all we got, Dan, There actually are more

1426
01:16:31,640 --> 01:16:35,000
Speaker 3: like if you are flipping, these games could be competitive

1427
01:16:35,320 --> 01:16:38,799
Speaker 3: in feature like Wisconsin. I think is playing New Mexico. Okay,

1428
01:16:39,320 --> 01:16:41,599
Speaker 3: and here's a name tie again, we're talking about good

1429
01:16:41,680 --> 01:16:43,560
Speaker 3: name season. Tavaka Tueodi.

1430
01:16:43,720 --> 01:16:44,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's good.

1431
01:16:44,760 --> 01:16:47,880
Speaker 3: His offensive coordinator is Calvin McGee, who helped to develop

1432
01:16:47,960 --> 01:16:51,320
Speaker 3: Khalil Tait these past couple of years at Arizona. Wisconsin

1433
01:16:51,360 --> 01:16:53,240
Speaker 3: is going to run away with it, but that's a

1434
01:16:53,360 --> 01:16:57,639
Speaker 3: name to remember. Michigan has opportunity to completely destroy somebody

1435
01:16:57,680 --> 01:17:00,599
Speaker 3: after everybody said, oh yeah, Michigan's not good on offense,

1436
01:17:00,800 --> 01:17:03,719
Speaker 3: and that team is Western Michigan. They will probably destroy

1437
01:17:03,800 --> 01:17:08,080
Speaker 3: Western Michigan. Sneaky game. I think Nevada if we if

1438
01:17:08,080 --> 01:17:09,839
Speaker 3: we're going to claim to be a Mountain West podcast

1439
01:17:10,160 --> 01:17:14,599
Speaker 3: Nevada and Vandy at Vandy not all that high on Vandy,

1440
01:17:14,600 --> 01:17:18,320
Speaker 3: but Nevada dropped like seventy two points on somebody that

1441
01:17:18,600 --> 01:17:22,719
Speaker 3: seems to be trend in a good direction. We also

1442
01:17:22,920 --> 01:17:27,480
Speaker 3: neglected to mention something very important ti Georgia Tech usf

1443
01:17:27,880 --> 01:17:31,320
Speaker 3: oh right, who's first of all, it's a good game,

1444
01:17:31,560 --> 01:17:34,320
Speaker 3: Blake Barnett, Randall, Saint Felix. I'm just going to say

1445
01:17:34,320 --> 01:17:37,639
Speaker 3: that name until I can't physically say it anymore. Georgia

1446
01:17:37,720 --> 01:17:40,840
Speaker 3: Tech looked good, the defense looked improve. Who's calling this game?

1447
01:17:41,360 --> 01:17:45,000
Speaker 1: Oh oh, does that be Adam A mean?

1448
01:17:45,840 --> 01:17:46,920
Speaker 3: That would be Adam a meme?

1449
01:17:47,160 --> 01:17:48,320
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1450
01:17:48,360 --> 01:17:51,800
Speaker 3: And what does he bestow upon us and the verballerhood.

1451
01:17:51,840 --> 01:17:54,000
Speaker 1: Here is your voice meal for week two. Have a listen.

1452
01:17:54,320 --> 01:17:57,719
Speaker 4: Another college football Saturday, another day to gorge on food

1453
01:17:57,720 --> 01:18:00,679
Speaker 4: that will certainly kill us all. So with that in mind,

1454
01:18:00,720 --> 01:18:02,760
Speaker 4: I've got the perfect place in Tampa, Florida for you

1455
01:18:02,800 --> 01:18:07,400
Speaker 4: to visit Dat's Datz. The entire menu is pretty great,

1456
01:18:07,439 --> 01:18:10,360
Speaker 4: from the coffee to the breakfast, to dinner, to brunch,

1457
01:18:10,680 --> 01:18:13,360
Speaker 4: to a really good cocktail menu. And they've got a

1458
01:18:13,400 --> 01:18:15,760
Speaker 4: beer menu that I truly believe will make your offensive

1459
01:18:15,800 --> 01:18:19,240
Speaker 4: coordinator proud. But I have two recommendations for you that

1460
01:18:19,360 --> 01:18:23,000
Speaker 4: I think are mustas. Two years ago, at the National Championship,

1461
01:18:23,280 --> 01:18:25,880
Speaker 4: Laura Rutledge, her producer, and I all split an order

1462
01:18:25,880 --> 01:18:28,200
Speaker 4: of monkey bread. I feel like I was a better

1463
01:18:28,240 --> 01:18:31,320
Speaker 4: man for it perfectly glazed, the right amount of icing,

1464
01:18:31,360 --> 01:18:33,760
Speaker 4: It's warm. I think it's great with coffee in the

1465
01:18:33,760 --> 01:18:37,240
Speaker 4: morning or as a post dinner dessert. And then last year,

1466
01:18:38,400 --> 01:18:42,400
Speaker 4: before the Outback Bowl, I discovered something called berry Sees

1467
01:18:42,479 --> 01:18:46,000
Speaker 4: stuffed meat loaf. And when I say stuffed, I'm not

1468
01:18:46,120 --> 01:18:46,839
Speaker 4: messing around.

1469
01:18:47,720 --> 01:18:48,519
Speaker 1: It's the meat loaf.

1470
01:18:49,280 --> 01:18:53,160
Speaker 4: But then they put bacon, Jalapano mac and cheese inside.

1471
01:18:53,160 --> 01:18:55,880
Speaker 4: Of the meat loaf. It's amazing. And then they topped

1472
01:18:55,920 --> 01:18:57,960
Speaker 4: the whole thing with a ketchup glaze. They serve it

1473
01:18:58,040 --> 01:19:01,120
Speaker 4: with the house mashed potatoes, peas pearl onions. This is

1474
01:19:01,160 --> 01:19:03,000
Speaker 4: one of those things that you can truly wait all

1475
01:19:03,080 --> 01:19:05,080
Speaker 4: day for and it's totally worth it.

1476
01:19:05,800 --> 01:19:07,120
Speaker 3: Or it's the ultimate comfort food.

1477
01:19:07,120 --> 01:19:08,920
Speaker 4: When you're significant other breaks up with you for watching

1478
01:19:08,960 --> 01:19:10,680
Speaker 4: all the football and then forgetting to pick their mother

1479
01:19:10,760 --> 01:19:12,680
Speaker 4: up at the airport. I don't know, not that that's

1480
01:19:12,720 --> 01:19:17,160
Speaker 4: ever happened to me. Dat's do it, Tampa, Florida. It's excellent.

1481
01:19:17,600 --> 01:19:18,080
Speaker 1: As for me.

1482
01:19:18,640 --> 01:19:21,080
Speaker 4: Rod gilmour quin Kesnick and I will open up your

1483
01:19:21,160 --> 01:19:24,679
Speaker 4: day on Saturday over on ABC or on ESPN two,

1484
01:19:24,680 --> 01:19:29,240
Speaker 4: depending on your location. Noon Eastern Sneaky good game, Georgia Tech,

1485
01:19:29,520 --> 01:19:30,320
Speaker 4: South Florida.

1486
01:19:30,439 --> 01:19:31,280
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you then.

1487
01:19:31,640 --> 01:19:33,760
Speaker 4: This has been your solid verbal voice meal.

1488
01:19:33,960 --> 01:19:37,439
Speaker 1: All right, thank you, Adam, thank you, good stuff. Can

1489
01:19:37,479 --> 01:19:40,800
Speaker 1: I run through real quick, ty, real quick. I know

1490
01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:43,160
Speaker 1: we're giving the people so much time, but yeah, we're

1491
01:19:43,160 --> 01:19:46,520
Speaker 1: filling up your drive. Justice Hansen is a really good quarterback.

1492
01:19:47,200 --> 01:19:50,080
Speaker 1: His team is going to lose to Alabama in Tuscaloosa.

1493
01:19:50,520 --> 01:19:51,519
Speaker 1: But I'm curious to.

1494
01:19:51,439 --> 01:19:53,360
Speaker 3: See what a really good quarterback is able to do

1495
01:19:53,760 --> 01:19:57,280
Speaker 3: against this this Alabama team, right fair, Notre Dame ball state.

1496
01:19:57,280 --> 01:19:59,000
Speaker 3: Anything to take away from that? Are you looking for

1497
01:19:59,040 --> 01:19:59,880
Speaker 3: anything specific?

1498
01:20:00,720 --> 01:20:02,840
Speaker 1: I'm looking for no injuries here, That's what I'm wanking.

1499
01:20:02,880 --> 01:20:07,320
Speaker 3: No injuries. Here's a predode alert. Brady White was at

1500
01:20:07,360 --> 01:20:09,880
Speaker 3: ASU for a little while. He is lighting things up

1501
01:20:10,040 --> 01:20:13,040
Speaker 3: or I think will continue to light things up for Memphis.

1502
01:20:13,080 --> 01:20:16,240
Speaker 3: They play Navy Navy coming back from Hawaii, which is

1503
01:20:16,240 --> 01:20:18,880
Speaker 3: a long flight tie. That is a long flight or

1504
01:20:18,920 --> 01:20:22,040
Speaker 3: group of flights. So pay attention to Brady White in

1505
01:20:22,080 --> 01:20:26,320
Speaker 3: that offense. Outside of that, Maryland bowling Green, Maryland should

1506
01:20:26,320 --> 01:20:28,200
Speaker 3: go to two. And oh, we didn't really mention Jordan

1507
01:20:28,280 --> 01:20:31,479
Speaker 3: McNair last week and what the school did for McNair

1508
01:20:31,520 --> 01:20:34,080
Speaker 3: before the game with only putting ten men on the

1509
01:20:34,120 --> 01:20:38,360
Speaker 3: field honoring him. Maryland should be pretty good this year,

1510
01:20:38,640 --> 01:20:42,160
Speaker 3: and we hope that being good and everything that has

1511
01:20:42,200 --> 01:20:45,200
Speaker 3: happened off the field helps this team come together for

1512
01:20:45,240 --> 01:20:49,320
Speaker 3: the sake of the players and fans who deserve a

1513
01:20:49,360 --> 01:20:52,519
Speaker 3: good program. I would say outside of that, Drew Locke

1514
01:20:52,560 --> 01:20:56,800
Speaker 3: is playing against a good defense in Wyoming. Oregon has

1515
01:20:56,840 --> 01:21:00,559
Speaker 3: Portland State no injuries. It's no injuries. Arkansas is getting

1516
01:21:00,560 --> 01:21:05,360
Speaker 3: the Colorado State bump. So if you play fantasy college football,

1517
01:21:06,040 --> 01:21:10,439
Speaker 3: grab anybody on that Arkansas offense. Utah traveling at NIU.

1518
01:21:11,200 --> 01:21:13,000
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's tricky. I don't know if

1519
01:21:13,000 --> 01:21:15,200
Speaker 3: that's weird, but that is a thing. Texas has a

1520
01:21:15,280 --> 01:21:18,160
Speaker 3: chance to win a game in September, so pay attention

1521
01:21:18,240 --> 01:21:23,400
Speaker 3: they're playing against Tulsa. Outside of that, not too much.

1522
01:21:23,479 --> 01:21:26,240
Speaker 3: I just have one very quick, quick request.

1523
01:21:26,320 --> 01:21:29,160
Speaker 1: You gotta hurry up because we're really, we're really really

1524
01:21:29,240 --> 01:21:30,479
Speaker 1: up against it. Yeah we are.

Speaker 3: I apologize for spasming, I even I and beneath that,

1529
01:21:53,800 --> 01:21:57,120
Speaker 3: Villanova is traveling to Lehigh. Villanova good last week? What

1530
01:21:57,120 --> 01:21:57,519

1531
01:21:57,800 --> 01:22:00,559
Speaker 1: Absolutely? I gotta go Lee High. I hear Dan.

Speaker 3: be at multi sport field.

1536
