Speaker 2: live college football games going on, a couple of them

10
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 2: just underway.

13
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: I mean, that's really the story. I mean I know

14
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,319
Speaker 1: what the big story is. And early in the day

15
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 1: we thought we had another big story, and we do.

16
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: But the biggest thing is there are some brands on

17
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: TV right now. Like it's not just that there's football

18
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: on there's football on there. There's a lot of like

19
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,759
Speaker 1: solid football being played in terms of you know, big

20
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: time fan bases and things of that nature. Guys traveling west.

21
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: Auburn's in the West coast playing against Cal right now.

22
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: There's just a lot happening, and then there's you know,

23
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 1: a top twenty team on the ropes on the road

24
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: out west. So there's just college football is everywhere right now.

25
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: It has been there all day, but this is I

26
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: don't recall it being quite this late and having this

27
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: much going on live, not to mention, of course, the

28
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:32,839
Speaker 1: historic things that have already happened today.

29
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 2: Absolutely so as of right now, we have Wisconsin trailing

30
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 2: at Washington State late in the fourth quarter. Wisconsin is

31
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 2: ranked usc just kicked off midway through the first quarter.

32
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 2: They're already up fourteen to nothing. And Auburn, as you said, Jason,

33
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 2: is trailing Cal early in Berkeley. Great showing for Cal.

34
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 2: Should mentioned, by the way, in overtime. Right now, Mississippi

35
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 2: State has just taken a lead on Arizona State. UCLA

36
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 2: about to close out a victory over San Diego State.

37
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 4: But we're burying the lead, Jason, because boy, oh boy,

38
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 4: oh boy, we got a game in Tuscaloosa, Alabama tonight

39
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 4: and by now I know Marin and VJ.

40
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 2: We're just breaking it all down. So it's not news

41
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 2: if you've been tuning into Fox Sports Radio. But if

42
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 2: you are just tuning in, if you've been in a

43
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 2: car if you are one of those dreaded fall weddings. Tonight, Jason,

44
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 2: we got ourselves. I mean, it's an upset in name,

45
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 2: it's an upset in point spread, but if you watch

46
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 2: the game, it didn't feel like an upset at all.

47
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,959
Speaker 2: Texas goes to Tuscaloosa a year after they could have

48
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 2: beat Alabama at home. Quinn Ewers gets hurt, Bryce Young

49
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 2: saves the day. There was no doubt in this one.

50
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 2: Texas goes to Alabama thirty four to twenty four. The

51
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 2: Longhorns pick up the win. There are so many things

52
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,119
Speaker 2: to talk about here, Jason. First of all, just I'm

53
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 2: just gonna the floorsiers Texas Alabama. Texas thirty four, Alabama

54
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 2: twenty four. The floor is yours, Jason.

55
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: All right, So before I say what I want to

56
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: say here to start, I want to say this, regardless

57
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,679
Speaker 1: of what happens from here on out, this is a

58
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: nice win for Sark. This is a really nice showing

59
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: for Quinn viewers. This is a big win for Texas

60
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: because you beat Alabama. This is the kind of win

61
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: your program needed. I heard Herbstreet say that on the broadcast,

62
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: just as it went final. It's absolutely true. Now I

63
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: want to say this, I am really interested to see

64
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: how we view this victory at the end of this season. Sure,

65
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: And the reason I say that is because I'm pretty

66
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: sure that the Alabama team that we saw tonight is

67
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: not that good. And I don't mean not number three

68
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: in the country good. I mean not number ten in

69
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: the country good. Like I just there's a lot of holes.

70
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: There's a lot of flaws coming into the season, when

71
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: it looked like Milro's going to be QB one after

72
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: watching him last year. Certainly you know, lightning quick, great athlete,

73
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: but there were some serious passing limitations. I mean, you

74
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: thought ja when Hurts had limitations prior to Tua getting there. No,

75
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: this is far worse than that. Although in the fourth

76
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: quarter he started throwing some bullets and those things actually

77
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: did look impressive in this game. But it told me

78
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: entering the season that they don't have a great solution

79
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: at quarterback this year. If there was not someone that

80
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: could beat Jaln Milroe out unless he had just greatly

81
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: improved between last season and the limited action that he

82
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 1: saw and this year. I was concerned entering the year

83
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 1: and watching that game tonight you said it best. You

84
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: can call it an upset because of the ranking. You

85
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: can call it an upset because of the history of

86
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: the brands. You can't call it an upset on the field.

87
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: You can't call it an upset with the rosters either. Honestly,

88
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: because Texas had the better quarterback, they looked like they

89
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: had more weaponry, They looked fast on defense, They just

90
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: looked better. They looked like the better football team. It

91
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: didn't look like they caught Alabama off guard. It didn't

92
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: look like Alabama took them lightly. It didn't look like

93
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: Alabama beat themselves. Texas was the better football team and

94
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: beat them. And again, I just wonder at the end

95
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: of the year, how we look at this, How big

96
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: a win was this if you actually take in totality

97
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: for the season, Because I don't know that this Alabama

98
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: team is not going to have two or three more

99
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: of these before the end of the season.

100
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 2: So it's funny you say that because that I have

101
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 2: two big takeaways. The first one is exactly what you said,

102
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 2: is that from a size, speed, athleticism perspective, Texas looked

103
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 2: every No, they didn't look every bit the part. They

104
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 2: look like the better team, which is jarring. You know,

105
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 2: we knew the wide receivers were good. We knew Quinn Ewers,

106
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 2: we had seen him make plays in this game last year.

107
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 2: Could he sustain it for a full game on the road,

108
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 2: all that good stuff, But as you said, it was

109
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 2: the defensive front is the dB are they just look

110
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 2: big or more athletic, more this, more that, And I

111
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 2: think that's also leads into my second takeaways is credit Texas,

112
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 2: and we're gonna talk about Texas momentarily. We got three

113
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 2: three hours to break it all down. But I think

114
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 2: my perspective from you know, my second perspective is exactly

115
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 2: what you said about Alabama. This isn't a one thing

116
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 2: fixes it. Like we watch that game. So I'm just

117
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 2: gonna go through some stats, and I hate doing the

118
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 2: stat thing, but Alabama was out gained by close to

119
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 2: one hundred yards Texas four hundred and fifty four yards

120
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 2: of three sixty two. Quinn, you were through for three

121
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 2: hundred and forty nine yards. Alabama on the ground average

122
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 2: three yards per carry. They were five or fourteen on

123
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 2: third down Texas seven of eighteen. And so I bring

124
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 2: it up because there have been Alabama losses in the

125
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 2: past where sometimes you just run into a great player,

126
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 2: you run into a Joe Burrow, Cam Newton, a Johnny Manziel, whatever.

127
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 2: There are other times where one thing specifically goes wrong

128
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 2: you say, okay, if you get that cleaned up, you'll

129
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 2: be okay. This Alabama loss, unfortunately, if you're an Alabama fan,

130
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 2: is it's a microcosma of the last couple of years.

131
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 2: But it also where I'd be concerned. There isn't one

132
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 2: thing Jalen Milroe. I thought, what was up and down?

133
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 2: But he made some good throws, finished fourteen to twenty seven,

134
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 2: passing two interceptions. But he wasn't the he is. He

135
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 2: doesn't appear to be the solution, but he wasn't fully

136
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 2: the problem either. The offensive line couldn't block up front,

137
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 2: but could they not block up front because Texas didn't

138
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 2: respect the pass. Obviously, the defensive BAC struggled with the

139
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 2: Texas pass games. So that is what stands out to

140
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 2: me about this Alabama loss is you know, we and

141
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 2: our business look for the this is the problem.

142
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 3: This is this, This is that.

143
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 2: It's the pass rush, it's the DBS, it's the quarterback,

144
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 2: it's the offensive line, Texas outmann Alabama in pretty much

145
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 2: every category in this Like I'm trying to think of

146
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,679
Speaker 2: one spot where I guess Alabama's front did a pretty

147
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 2: good job against the Texas run game, but other than that,

148
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 2: Texas was better in every single category. And so, yes,

149
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 2: I don't know what the solution is. I'm rambling here,

150
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 2: but it's like, I don't know what the solution is

151
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 2: for Bama because I don't think it was just one

152
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 2: thing that did them in tonight.

153
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: No, it definitely wasn't. I mean, Milrow the interception was horrible,

154
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: or the second interception, I should say it was horrible.

155
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: He was inaccurate in the first half. Down the stretch, though,

156
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: he started playing his best football. Like I said, when

157
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 1: he actually started throwing with velocity in a fourth quarter,

158
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: I was just like, Wow, maybe he just needs to

159
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: throw the Roldest Chapman fastball every single time, because he

160
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: seems to be a little bit better with that throw.

161
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: But you look at the running game, I mean, Alabama

162
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: butters its bread running the football. Jase McClellan had twelve

163
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,479
Speaker 1: carries for forty five yards, but even that is deceiving

164
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: because he really had eleven carries for thirty yards because

165
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 1: he had one run that was fifteen. Jaylen Milroe had

166
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: a twenty yard run, finished with forty four on fifteen carries. So,

167
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: like you mentioned, barely a three yard average. Texas was

168
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: a little under three. But when you've got you were

169
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 1: throwing the ball to wide open guys who are getting

170
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: behind the secondary down the field, which is also quite

171
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: shocking and jarring if you're used to what Alabama has

172
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: had in the secondary. And look, Koy mcinsry's you know,

173
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: top ten level NFL draft town on a lot of

174
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: boards early. But this is a team where we saw

175
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: this last year. And this is why I continually told

176
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: you how good Bryce Young was and or it was

177
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: my argument I didn't have to tell you, you know,

178
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: but generally, what is this team without Bryce Young? Like

179
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: how good is this team last year? And last year

180
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: they had you know, they had Jamiir Gibbs and they

181
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,079
Speaker 1: had a few other guys. The skill talent this year

182
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: just looks it looks very pedestrian. What Alabama looks like

183
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: to me is a is a good football team and

184
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: a great brand, but one where the apex has come

185
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: for right now, and there is there's something there's a

186
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: sea change, and I don't know if they're there. Certainly

187
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: is not a simple fix. There are multiple things to

188
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 1: have to change. But this is what I told you earlier.

189
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: It feels to me very much like watching Alabama now

190
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:19,959
Speaker 1: is watching Florida after Alabama took over when Nick beat them,

191
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: when you know Tebow was in the rear view, and

192
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,719
Speaker 1: that was about the time that you know Urban was

193
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: going to disappear for a few years and then re

194
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: emerge at Ohio State. Florida had done a lot and

195
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 1: they had dominated for a while. Now Alabama dwarfed to

196
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: what Florida did, but Georgia has taken it. Georgia has

197
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: taken it. And you look at the SEC West right now.

198
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: I mean it's a problem. It is an absolute problem.

199
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: The two best teams in the SEC might be in

200
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: the East. It's certainly arguable right now. So you think

201
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: about all of that, and then you just look at

202
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: a Texas team that Texas is so used to not

203
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: winning these kind of games that if you had done

204
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: anything to force a big mistake, you might have been

205
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: able to win this thing, even with the effort you

206
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: put out there. Just because they're likely to crumble. I

207
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: still feel like because they haven't learned yet what it's

208
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 1: like to win games like this, and Alabama could not

209
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: do it. They couldn't do it even when they got

210
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: close and it got tight. The fourth quarter was really exciting.

211
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 1: The first three quarters were bad football. I didn't like

212
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: either team, and then the fourth quarter Texas really emerged.

213
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: But I think the biggest story coming out of this

214
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: is I don't know what you do at quarterback if

215
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: you're Alabama, but that's not the only question. And then

216
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: on the Texas side, Quinn, you are is considering what's

217
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: also at Texas at that position, considering the university he plays,

218
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: for the pressure, his entire story. That was a really

219
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 1: really nice effort from him tonight and he deserves all

220
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: the credit.

221
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 2: So we have two additional finals. Since we went on air,

222
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 2: I want to keep everybody updated really quickly. Wisconsin was

223
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 2: ranked in the top two. They went on the road

224
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,719
Speaker 2: lost to Washington State thirty one to twenty two.

225
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: How about that sickered over Fickle Well.

226
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 2: The Cougars might not have a conference right now, but

227
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 2: they got a win over a top twenty team.

228
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 3: Washington State wins.

229
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: Hey Man, two teams that I think the entire country

230
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 1: should be rooting for unless you're an Oregon or a

231
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: Washington fan. Really, hell yeah, how can you cheer against

232
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: Washington State and Oregon State right now? I mean, anything

233
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 1: they do well, I'm just gonna be all for. I

234
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,079
Speaker 1: hope they. I hope they win every game they play.

235
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 2: Well, they get the win. I'm happy for them and

236
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 2: Oregon State, as you said as well, the PAC twelve,

237
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 2: how about this started the year thirteen to oher first

238
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 2: loss of the season, The Arizona State Wildcats just lost

239
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 2: by one yard in overtime to Mississippi State, a very

240
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 2: questionable call late. That is the PAC twelve's first loss

241
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 2: of this season.

242
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 1: You know what I liked. I like the makeup of

243
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: this of this conference going forward. I feel really really

244
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: good about the direction the PAC twelve is headed in

245
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: the long term future.

246
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 2: Well, you know, we might as well mention it now.

247
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 2: Cal up early on Auburn as well. It's only the

248
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 2: first quarter. It is only three to nothing, but this

249
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 2: league looks good. Oregon did close out Texas Tech on

250
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 2: the road, so a great start.

251
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: I mean, look at these teams building, Aeron, I mean,

252
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: these programs are building. The PAC twelve is going to

253
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: be a force down the line. Years from now, the

254
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: PAC twelve could be the best conference in America.

255
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 2: I mean, listen, I don't even know how to respond

256
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 2: to that eloquently. I mean, you know, how about the

257
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 2: future college football playoff. Cal wins the ACC, Oregon wins

258
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 2: the Big Ten. It's unbelievable. So the PAC twelve is

259
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 2: unbeatable basically in the year that it all falls apart.

260
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 2: Also shout out to Texas who wants to get in

261
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,040

278
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 2: What an out of college football? So we just talked

279
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 2: about Alabama Texas. We talked about it, certainly from the

280
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 2: Alabama perspective. Jason, Texas goes into Tuscaloosa a year after

281
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 2: Texas largely outplayed Alabama. Bryce unbailed out the Crimson Tide.

282
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 2: No such luck on Saturday night for Alabama. Texas wins

283
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 2: thirty four to twenty four. But really that isn't the story.

284
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 2: I mean, it was really complete domination for essentially, you know, listen,

285
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 2: Alabama was competitive. There was a time early in the

286
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 2: third quarter where they did take the lead briefly and

287
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 2: Texas immediately came back.

288
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 3: But I bring it up, I should say late third quarter,

289
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 3: early fourth.

290
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 2: But I bring it up because this tonight was about

291
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 2: Texas and they were the better team. You know, there's

292
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 2: there's nothing else to say. As I said to open

293
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 2: the show, close to more than you know, almost one

294
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 2: hundred more yards of total offense than Alabama. Quinn Yewers

295
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 2: three hundred and forty nine yards, three touchdowns. I'll just

296
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 2: ask you, Jason, and I think I know the answer,

297
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 2: Like just just forget you know, we'll talk playoff and

298
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 2: Big twelve and all this. What does this win mean

299
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 2: for Texas as a program, because I don't think you

300
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 2: can put a price on this, not just because the

301
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 2: name is Alabama, but to do it on the road

302
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 2: and to do it in the manner in which they did.

303
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 2: We talked about in the first segment. This wasn't fluky,

304
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 2: There wasn't a weird injury. There wasn't There wasn't that.

305
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 2: They went to Tuscaloosa and they were flat out the

306
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 2: better team. What does this say about Alabama?

307
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: Jason?

308
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 3: All right, Texas, I'm.

309
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: Sorry, Oh sorry, you caught me off guard. I was

310
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: too busy looking at year by year breakdowns of what

311
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: jimbo Fisher's buyout might look like. All right, Texas.

312
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 3: Oh, we'll get to that after the Sager.

313
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: It's huge. I mean, it's big, I said, I said,

314
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: irrespective right of when you get to the end of

315
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: the year, and I want to know then what this

316
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: win looks like, because then we'll know what this Alabama

317
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: team has done since this point. It's still huge. It's

318
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: the kind of when Texas needed as a program. They

319
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: went on the road to Bryant Denny Stadium in prime time.

320
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: Their quarterbacks showed out. They looked like the better team.

321
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: They look like the more disciplined team. They look like

322
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: the more complete team. They looked semi legit at least.

323
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't look at them the way I

324
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: look at Michigan. I don't look at them the way

325
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: I look at Georgia. There are a couple others you

326
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: probably throw in there, but Texas is at least going

327
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: to have the opportunity to prove more of that going forward.

328
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: But for the university, for the fan base, for the alumni,

329
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: this is the win they've won it for a long time.

330
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: I know the Red River Shootout and everything with Oklahoma,

331
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: but going to beat this team is like beating the Patriots.

332
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: There may not be a Tom Brady on this roster,

333
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 1: but Alabama is Alabama still has the air of thanos.

334
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 1: I texted you earlier and said, I think the thanos

335
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: idea has gone from them, Like they just they don't

336
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: strike the same level of fear over the last couple

337
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 1: of years because it's just kind of felt different ever

338
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: since Mac and those wide receivers all left that year.

339
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:48,199
Speaker 1: As great as Bryce was, it's still you know, you

340
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 1: just knew it wasn't quite the same, and it wasn't

341
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 1: his fault. It was everything else around him not being

342
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: quite as good as it had been prior. But this

343
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: is a win that Texas fans have wanted this and

344
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: this university has not been able to deliver them for

345
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: a very very long time. I saw an article in

346
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: ESPN and we talked about this before on the show,

347
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: Aaron that Texas fans are the most irrational that you

348
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 1: can find because they act like their Georgia. But they've

349
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: really only had two regimes that have been successful. They

350
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 1: had Daryl Royal, which they're either their field of their

351
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: stadium one is named after. And then they have Mac Brown,

352
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: who's now at North Carolina. But those are the two

353
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: eras where Texas won, but they act like they went

354
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: every year. This is a team right now that could

355
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: poke us chests out a little bit. They came in

356
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: as a number eleven. They were gifted a nice preseason ranking,

357
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,679
Speaker 1: and over the first two weeks of the season, they

358
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 1: didn't beat any they didn't do anything impressive. Last week,

359
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 1: they did what was on the agenda. But this was

360
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: the marquee game of the day, without any question. It

361
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: was the marquee game of the first two weeks. We

362
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 1: were all thinking about this one as well as LSU

363
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: and Florida State, and we saw how that one went,

364
00:18:58,119 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 1: and now we see how this one went and what

365
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: we get out of it is Texas has a claim

366
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,640
Speaker 1: right now to be relevant and that hasn't been true

367
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 1: in a while.

368
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 2: Let me ask you a dumb question, okay, and I

369
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,120
Speaker 2: don't want to put too much on a program that's

370
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,439
Speaker 2: coming off an eight win season and they haven't won

371
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 2: the Big Twelve since I think eighth nine somewhere in there.

372
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 2: If they don't make the playoff at this point, should

373
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 2: it be in assuming nothing crazy, apps do, injuries, whatever,

374
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,719
Speaker 2: should it be considered a disappointment? And let me make

375
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 2: the argument right now on the schedule, they have two

376
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 2: ranked teams left on the schedule and as not say

377
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 2: other teams might surprise whatever. It's Oklahoma on a neutral field,

378
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:40,120
Speaker 2: Kansas State at home, toughest road game on paper, TCU.

379
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 2: Maybe you know this is this is their road schedule

380
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 2: from here at Baylor, who's zero and two, at Houston,

381
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 2: who just lost today to so who do they lose

382
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,919
Speaker 2: to today? They lost to Rice at home? Who they

383
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 2: so Rice beat? Beat Houston, who lost to Texas. So

384
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,919
Speaker 2: at Baylor at Houston, at TCU, at Iowa State with

385
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 2: your toughest games Kansas State at home Oklahoma on a

386
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 2: neutral field?

387
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 3: Should it be like? I don't like it's one.

388
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 2: I don't know what my own answer is to that, Jason,

389
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 2: because I think, on the one hand, it feels ridiculous

390
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 2: for a program that's never made the college football Playoff,

391
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 2: that hasn't won a conference championship in a decade to

392
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 2: say that they're going to be a favorite in every

393
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 2: single game the rest of the year, and frankly an

394
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 2: overwhelming favorite in most of those games.

395
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 1: I can't quite get there. I think I think the

396
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 1: question is fair, and I also think the fact that

397
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 1: you don't have really a definitive answer for it is

398
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: the right way to feel. I just I can't quite

399
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: get there. Based on recent history for them, how big

400
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: this season is for SARK If they end up with

401
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:51,199
Speaker 1: two losses and you know, win a Bowl game. I

402
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 1: feel like that's going to feel successful for them, especially

403
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: considering a lot of this is about the momentum entering

404
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 1: the SEC next year, and that's going to give you

405
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: a lot of hype and a lot of hope down

406
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 1: in Austin before the switchover happens and you're playing in

407
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: the Southeastern Conference. If you get to the playoff, I

408
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: think it's a bonus, but I think it's a disappointment

409
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: based on your rationale. The schedule you that we can

410
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: all go look at, but the one that you laid

411
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: out for us, if you don't make a New Year's

412
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: six game, that's a problem. That would be that would

413
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 1: mean some things have gone seriously wrong since what we

414
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: just saw tonight at Brian Denny against Alabama. But I

415
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 1: can't get just go so far in a fourteen playoff

416
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: to say if you're not one of those four it's

417
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: a failure just because you haven't been anywhere close to

418
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: that And I can't even think of how long it's been,

419
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 1: so just looking at that, I say, I think that

420
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: you have to take smaller steps of progress before I

421
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,439
Speaker 1: can call it a failure. Like I can't just go

422
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: you can't go worse the first. You can't go mediocre

423
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 1: to champion like that so fast. I mean, look at

424
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: I mean there a better version of what happened with Tennessee.

425
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: Tennessee didn't end up making the playoff last year. Tennessee

426
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: had a very successful season and capped it off with

427
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: the New Year's six win, a big Time Bowl win

428
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 1: over Clemson where they crushed him. If Texas has a

429
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: similar season what Tennessee did last year, I don't think

430
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 1: anybody's gonna call out a failure.

431
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's one, you know, Listen, I say it all

432
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 3: the time.

433
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 2: I know that, you know, we have these jobs to

434
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 2: come on Fox Sports Radio with big, bold, strong opinions.

435
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 2: I don't really know how I feel about that, because,

436
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 2: on the one hand, like I kind of feel like

437
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 2: tonight right now, and this is a reaction in the moment.

438
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 2: I do kind of feel like, if you're into New

439
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 2: Year six, it means you lost probably at least two

440
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 2: maybe three games.

441
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 3: But I don't know, I don't know.

442
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 2: I don't think that you can sit there and say

443
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 2: definitively that it would be quote unquote a failure. I

444
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 2: do think you gotta win the Big twelve, though, or

445
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 2: at least.

446
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 3: I don't know.

447
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,159
Speaker 2: You gotta be whatever, ten and two at the end

448
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 2: of the year, eleven and two, whatever.

449
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: It's a failure if you find a way. I will

450
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 1: say this, there's a possibility you could call it a

451
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: failure if you can go back at the end and

452
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,719
Speaker 1: actually point to the losses. It depends on how you lose.

453
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: It depends on the circumstances of those losses, like if

454
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 1: you're beating yourself, if you're getting close and then throwing

455
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: the ball away, or making terrible coaching decisions at the

456
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: end of games, bad clock management, all of that kind

457
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: of stuff. We can have a different argument there. I

458
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 1: just don't look at it from a win loss total

459
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,199
Speaker 1: thing and say, well, if they end up with three losses,

460
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: it's a failure. I can't get to that point irrespective

461
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:28,160
Speaker 1: of other factors.

462
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 2: I think it's fair. I think it's fair. I think

463
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 2: it's fair. But we got to give credit to Text.

464
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:37,640
Speaker 2: I mean, they were so great performance, great performance. I'll

465
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 2: tell you what, Jays, we'll come back. You know who

466
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 2: wasn't great today? Their former rival, future rival Texas saying

467
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,479
Speaker 2: ed we're going to talk about that next. Before we do, though,

468
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 2: let's toss it over the news desk first time on

469
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 2: our show this evening to say go the floor is yours,

470
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:51,880
Speaker 2: my friend.

471
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 1: So they are back.

472
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:59,640
Speaker 6: No, no, no, By the way, they did you see

473
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 6: the stat at the end that Texas first road win

474
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 6: tonight against an AP Top three team since nineteen sixty.

475
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 3: Nine, first road went on.

476
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 7: Against an AP top three since sixty nine. What's missing

477
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 7: from that stays, how often have they played on the

478
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 7: road against an AP touch.

479
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 3: Well, that was on the game broadcast.

480
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 2: They showed first top win since Oklahoma eight and I said, oh,

481
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 2: that's kind of a crazy stat. And then it's at

482
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 2: top three, and I was like, how many top three

483
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 2: teams have they played?

484
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 7: They also had a graphics specifically for road keeping in

485
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 7: mind all the great Oklahoma teams they've played over the years,

486
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 7: those are not road games, yep, so none of those

487
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 7: would be counting. There was the stat that Alabama football

488
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 7: has not lost at home by double digits in almost

489
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 7: twenty years, and Nick Saban as a coach in college football,

490
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 7: has not lost at home by double digits since exactly

491
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 7: twenty years ago when he was at LSU and they

492
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 7: lost to Florida nineteen to seven. Well thirty four to

493
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 7: twenty four Texas the final at number three Alabama tonight.

494
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 7: The Longhorn scored touchdown on three straight drives in the

495
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 7: fourth quarter and the Texas defense had five sacks Alabama

496
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:09,439
Speaker 7: ten penalties tonight. The PAC twelve started eighteen and oh

497
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 7: to this season. It ended when Arnee's Arizona Wildcats just

498
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 7: barely lost in overtime to Mississippi State. So that's an

499
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 7: SEC win against a Power five conference. SEC had been

500
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 7: one and six against the Power five until that overtime win. Also,

501
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 7: we note that Auburn is at cal and Auburn has

502
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,679
Speaker 7: never won a game in the state of California. Granted

503
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 7: they haven't played money but many, but they were playing

504
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 7: for all the money a decade ago at the Rosecos.

505
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 3: I was at one of the games they played in California,

506
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 3: and I was at the other.

507
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 7: They lost at USC about twenty years ago, and apparently

508
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 7: Auburn lost a game, got shut out at Santa Clair

509
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 7: where you know, you know how that goes.

510
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 2: Somebody got fired for that one. If I know Auburn,

511
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 2: somebody got fired for that one.

512
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 7: It was in nineteen thirty six. But that game I

513
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:02,439
Speaker 7: went to where it was USC beat Auburn again. It's

514
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 7: about twenty years ago, but that was an Auburn team

515
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 7: that had Cadillac Williams and Ronnie Brown in the bag

516
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:09,719
Speaker 7: and they went nine and three the rest of the

517
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 7: season and won at Alabama Top ten Alabama. But apparently

518
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 7: Cal has beaten an SEC opponent three straight times going

519
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 7: into this whole matchup against Auburn tonight. About five years ago,

520
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 7: they played Ole Miss twice and beat them both times,

521
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 7: and Cal after Aaron Rodgers beat Tennessee as well. So

522
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:33,159
Speaker 7: Cal was amazingly up three to nothing second quarter, but

523
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 7: Auburn has just recovered a fumble and shortly after scored,

524
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 7: So Auburn leads seven to three at California early second quarter.

525
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 7: Cal's run seemingly every offensive play at Auburn territory and

526
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 7: still only has three points in the first half. We

527
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 7: mentioned it on the show last week. Colorado was horrendous

528
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 7: last year. Their only win was in overtime against California

529
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 7: Number four. Florida State leads fifty two to ten against

530
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,159
Speaker 7: Southern Miss late in the third quarter, just ending the

531
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,199
Speaker 7: third end of three at sixteenth ranked Oregon State. It's

532
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 7: Beavers forty eight nothing over UC Davis, and a late

533
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,199
Speaker 7: game on Fox TV now has sixth ranked USC up

534
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 7: twenty seven nothing over Stanford early in the second quarter.

535
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:13,160
Speaker 3: With weather.

536
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 7: It's been a very very long day in a lot

537
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 7: of locales, mostly college football, mostly seemingly acc towns, but

538
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 7: not exclusively. UMass, for example, is still playing at home

539
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 7: late third quarter Miami, Ohio twenty eight to twenty one

540
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,479
Speaker 7: in the lead. But in Blacksburg, Virginia, a weather delay

541
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:35,120
Speaker 7: of five and a half hours today, Perdue was up

542
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 7: seventeen nothing, the home team rallies was seventeen unanswered before halftime.

543
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 7: Perdue wins the game twenty four to seventeen. Anyway, also

544
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 7: Boston College, I believe they had delay there. Boston College

545
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 7: eventually edges Holy Cross thirty one to twenty eight. James

546
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 7: Madison came back to win at Virginia thirty six thirty five,

547
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 7: outscoring the home team twelve nothing in the fourth quarter.

548
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 7: And there was a long weather delay for baseball in DC.

549
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 7: The Dodgers are there this weekend rain delay of over

550
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,360
Speaker 7: four hours at the start, and then the game went

551
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 7: eleven innings. On top of that, at eleven thirty Eastern

552
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 7: it has just ended with the Nationals beating the Dodgers

553
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 7: seven to six. Somewhat of a long day. Coco Goff

554
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,439
Speaker 7: won the US Open in New York today, taking the

555
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 7: final at age nineteen and two. NFL notes Ravens tight

556
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 7: and Mark Andrews with his quad injury, likely out tomorrow

557
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 7: according to NFL Network, and the Rams placed wide receiver

558
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 7: Cooper Cup on ir bad hamstring, so he'll miss at

559
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 7: least four games.

560
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 3: Back to you, Thank you.

561
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: Rams are gonna be good now.

562
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what are you saying? They're back?

563
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 2: Producer Bo and Steve Hartman have convinced me that somehow

564
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams is gonna end up on the Rams next year.

565
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna say it. I don't know.

566
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 2: This probably isn't the time to have the conversation. We

567
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 2: got a lot of college football to talk about.

568
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 7: Well, it's very much a mathematical possibility, whether anybody wants

569
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 7: it or not.

570
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 1: Ye.

571
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 2: Well, and I also think too, And I know everyone

572
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 2: mocked the Caleb Williams dad comments this week he's not

573
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 2: coming back, but I think it was pretty clear that

574
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 2: to me was like, we're just not gonna settle for

575
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 2: whoever ends up with the first pick, like we're gonna

576
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 2: try to maneuver where we want to go.

577
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 7: We're gonna go to the Yankees and play minor league

578
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 7: baseball instead.

579
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly.

580
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 3: So I don't know. Maybe it means nothing. Maybe it

581
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 3: means nothing.

582
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio eron towards j Spart, Jase, I'll tell

583
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 2: you what. On the other side, we'll come back and

584
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 2: talk A and M. One one last Bama Texas question

585
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 2: and then we'll talk A and M. All right, I

586
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 2: know I don't even know how to phrase this question,

587
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 2: but when you said, like Texas needed momentum coming into

588
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 2: the SEC, it just really struck me. And I know

589
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 2: we're going to a twelve team playoff era, so there's

590
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 2: gonna be more spots. There's in the dance, but you

591
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 2: now have at least one, maybe two more teams coming

592
00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 2: in into the SEC that have the same resources, the

593
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 2: same facilities, the same nil, the same, this, the same.

594
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 3: That is it over for Bama? Like is it over

595
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 3: for Nick Saban?

596
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 2: Because yeah, you're gonna be twelve team playoff you should

597
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 2: be able to get in pretty consistently. But now Sark

598
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 2: like tonight with Sarks Night, like, this isn't the guy

599
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 2: from USC This isn't the guy from Washington. He has

600
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 2: a program, he has a quarterback, he has players nil

601
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 2: or whatever, and it's just like it's just one more

602
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 2: team that's like they kind of leveled up with Alabama.

603
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 2: And I just look at Alabama and I don't know

604
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 2: what to think that their future is. It isn't dire,

605
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:40,479
Speaker 2: It isn't over. It isn't like they're not Vanderbilt. But

606
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 2: I just I just you're comment about Texas kind of

607
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 2: leveling up as they head into the SEC. It just

608
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 2: struck me that's another team that is now pseudo in

609
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 2: Alabama's way, that they're gonna essentially play every year every

610
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 2: other year.

611
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: Is it over? No, I'll never say that as long

612
00:30:55,880 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: as Saban is there. However, it got a lot more difficult.

613
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: The playing field has evened for a lot more teams

614
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 1: because of NIL. Because of all the changes in college football,

615
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 1: the road has gotten tougher and the advantages have changed.

616
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean that NIL can't become a major force

617
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: in favor of an Alabama, but it does mean that

618
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: there are other universities that are opening their coffers through

619
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: you know, the collectives and everything, and they're going to

620
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: pay off. I said, I think it was in twenty

621
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: twenty one in the fall. The only reason I know

622
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 1: this is because I was cleaning out my email and

623
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: I saw an email from our old producer who was

624
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,239
Speaker 1: just like man, I thought this was really good, that

625
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 1: we could probably use this in some time, And it

626
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: was me in twenty twenty one saying I thought Nick

627
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: Saban would be out within three years, not obviously because

628
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 1: they're kicking him out, but because he's just not going

629
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 1: to want to be a part of this landscape. And

630
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: maybe he is, but I do think we are nearing

631
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: the end of Nick Saban Atbama. And I would say

632
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: Nick Saban probably as a coach, I don't think this

633
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 1: universe is one he he's going to want to play

634
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: in for very long unless they can find some kind

635
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 1: of leverage advantage. But I just don't think it's going

636
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 1: to be there anymore. That point about Texas and Oklahoma

637
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 1: coming in, even with that notwithstanding, I mean, Tennessee is back.

638
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: We already know what Georgia is. You look around the West.

639
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: LSU has not started this season well, but LSU is

640
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 1: certainly in a better position than they were after Burrow left,

641
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: for sure, but even the later years of the Less

642
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 1: Miles era, LSU didn't feel like LSU anymore. Brian Kelly,

643
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 1: there gives you a new lease. And then of course

644
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: you look at the other conferences and you look at

645
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: what's happening with the teams that are moving over there,

646
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 1: and it just feels like this playing field has changed

647
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 1: in a direction where Saban's all of a sudden going

648
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: to realize how old he is and how little fun

649
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 1: this might be. From time to time, I think that

650
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 1: it got a lot harder. I'm not saying it's over

651
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: for Alabama, but if they were not to win again

652
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 1: under Saban, I would not be surprised. And I mean

653
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 1: a championship here, not a game. But I do think

654
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,959
Speaker 1: we are nearing the end of the Saban era and

655
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 1: they're gonna be looking to hire anybody that can get

656
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 1: their hands on that is willing to, you know, take

657
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: all the money that they have and leave a great job,

658
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: because they're gonna go after the best of the best.

659
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think what you said aligns with kind of

660
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 2: what I think is just it's just like all of

661
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 2: the and Saban was always a great coach. So it's

662
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 2: not to say like, oh, you know, like but all

663
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 2: of the ways in which he was able to stack

664
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 2: his team, you know, players had to sit out when

665
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 2: they transferred obviously nil. You know, there's not unlimited money anywhere,

666
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 2: so you can't just whatever. The point I'm trying to

667
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 2: make is the stacked teams that he had, like, they're

668
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 2: just they're never gonna be as stacked as they once were.

669
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 2: The talent discrepancy isn't gonna be as big as it

670
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 2: once was. And I think a lot of these SEC

671
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 2: programs are in great shape obviously, George.

672
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 3: It speaks for itself. Tennessee.

673
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 2: You mentioned LSU is never gonna be bad, but I

674
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 2: think they have the right coach even if they didn't

675
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 2: look good. Now you have Texas coming in Oklahoma, so

676
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 2: it's an interesting conversation about Alabama. Fox Sports Radio ertors

Speaker 1: Pack twelve strong on the Atlantic Coast. Is California PAC

00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 1: twelve on its deathbed.

714
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 3: Somehow, It's unbelievable. It's unbelievable.

715
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:16,800
Speaker 1: This is the first year, by the way, I was

716
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:20,720
Speaker 1: watching that Arizona Oklahoma State Arizona State game during a break,

717
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 1: and this is the first year in a while where

718
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:26,399
Speaker 1: I just don't think there's a reason to care about

719
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State. Like this is the first time where it's

720
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 1: just like usually at the very least, they're an intriguing

721
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,320
Speaker 1: team that finds their way to a really good record,

722
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 1: and they're sitting around the seven spot or something like

723
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:39,399
Speaker 1: that near the end of the year, and you start

724
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 1: trying to figure out a way for them to get

725
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 1: into the college football Playoff. And it doesn't never happen

726
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 1: because they'll blow some of the end of the years

727
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: or it just something will go wrong for them. But

728
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:50,839
Speaker 1: this is the first year was just like they just

729
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 1: don't really this one's not This is just not gonna

730
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 1: be a banner year for them. They're just gonna be

731
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 1: an average football team this year. And I hadn't really

732
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:02,359
Speaker 1: thought about Oklahoma State at all until tonight watching that game,

733
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,799
Speaker 1: It's like, oh yeah, Oklhama State, Like they're not being

734
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 1: talked about at all this year. I don't think this

735
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:08,800
Speaker 1: is going to be a big one for them.

736
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 3: Well I'll tell you.

737
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 2: We talked last segment about you know, Nick Saban, and

738
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,759
Speaker 2: I don't think he has been unwilling to adapt to

739
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 2: this nil portal era. I just think that others are

740
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 2: catching up because there's only so much he can do.

741
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 2: Mike Gundy is one almost like Dabbo. He's been very

742
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 2: outspoken of like, you know, we're just not going to

743
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 2: pay players, and you know, if guys can earn stuff,

744
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 2: then they should. But this is you know, this isn't

745
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 2: like Mike Gundy is another one that I think could

746
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:36,239
Speaker 2: be out in the next two to three years, because

747
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:38,720
Speaker 2: I just think he has no like I think Saban

748
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,799
Speaker 2: wants to compete. I just think that if everybody's on

749
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,399
Speaker 2: the same playing field as Bama and he's seventy three

750
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 2: years old, he might just say whatever, Gundhy's won. I

751
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 2: just don't I don't think he just wants anything to

752
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 2: do with it. Like, I just don't think he wants

753
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 2: this to be part of you know, He's like Dabbo.

754
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 2: He doesn't This isn't what he envisions college football to be.

755
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 2: He doesn't want to be part of it. And they

756
00:37:58,239 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 2: lost a ton of guys to the portal this year

757
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 2: that reason. Jason, I'll tell you what. We'll wrapped the

758
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:04,840
Speaker 2: hour with what we've kind of teased here for a

759
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 2: little while. You know, a week ago, I tried to

760
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 2: make the argument. You know, Texas A and M put

761
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,360
Speaker 2: up fifty two points against New Mexico, and I said,

762
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 2: what if this Bobby Patrido thing works?

763
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 3: Well, you know, ANM's credit.

764
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 2: They scored a lot of points today, thirty three. The

765
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 2: problem is they gave up a lot more forty eight

766
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,879
Speaker 2: to Miami. Listen, I want to give Miami a little

767
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 2: bit of credit. They look much improved this year under

768
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 2: year Tamrio Christibaal. But this speaks to Texas A and

769
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 2: m again. Man Like you know, Jimbo Fisher probably on

770
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,319
Speaker 2: the hottest seed in college football coming into the year.

771
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 2: They lose by fifteen. They're not even competitive. Tyler van

772
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 2: Dyke with five touchdown passes for Miami. Not the way

773
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 2: Jimbo Fisher wanted things to start in a year where

774
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 2: he needs to win big to maintain his job.

775
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 1: Right, So forty and twenty two overall his last three seasons,

776
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 1: he is fourteen and twelve. I'm gonna read this to

777
00:38:58,080 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 1: you because I think it's instructive.

778
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 3: Unbelieve well, I know where you're going, But go ahead.

779
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: The buyout numbers because of the fully guaranteed ten year

780
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 1: extension that he got twenty twenty three, should they let

781
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:12,280
Speaker 1: him go this year? Seventy six point eight million dollars

782
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 1: buyout twenty twenty four, it becomes sixty seven point five

783
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, it's fifty eight point two twenty twenty six,

784
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 1: is forty eight point seventy five twenty twenty seven, it's

785
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,840
Speaker 1: still thirty nine point two twenty twenty eight, it's still

786
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 1: twenty nine point five twenty twenty nine. You finally get

787
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 1: under twenty mili at nineteen point eight and twenty thirty.

788
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 1: If you let him go, you still owe him nine

789
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 1: point nine five million dollars. Do we even have to

790
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 1: talk about what I just read to you?

791
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:43,240
Speaker 3: Insane?

792
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:47,399
Speaker 1: This is in yeah, exactly, that's exactly the only word

793
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 1: you need to you. It's preposterous. Eventually, they're just gonna

794
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 1: have to pay it. And I will say this, Miami

795
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 1: might be good. That was a great performance by them,

796
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 1: But when you have the fourth best roster ve compiled

797
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,840
Speaker 1: rankings in the country and you still have most of

798
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 1: those guys playing for your team, they look the part.

799
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:10,360
Speaker 1: They're huge, like you should be doing more. So, a

800
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 1: game like this is the kind of game you pay

801
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 1: that kind of contract out and fully guarantee it and

802
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 1: all that mess. You do that because you win games

803
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 1: like this consistently. And that's just not a thing that's

804
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 1: true about Jimbo Fisher. So I mentioned the buyout numbers

805
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 1: just because A and M fans and A and M alum,

806
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 1: especially with the money involved in Texas, A and M,

807
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 1: they are not going to tolerate this for too much longer.

808
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:36,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I will say, I mean I think that athletic department.

809
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 2: I think they're praying that he can just get to,

810
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 2: you know, something respectable so that they don't have to

811
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,399
Speaker 2: pay him this year and that he has another year

812
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:47,839
Speaker 2: to maybe prove whatever. I don't even say prove himself,

813
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 2: because you know, it is what it is at this point.

814
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 2: But the money is astronomical. I cannot be the disappointing

815
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 2: thing about today. They just looked so bad, so undisciplined

816
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 2: on defense. And again, maybe Miami is good, but you

817
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 2: should not look that bad if you're Texas A and M.

828
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 2: there's a lot of college football to react to.

829
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:42,320
Speaker 3: Still, by the way, keep you updated.

830
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 2: I know to Seger just gave you all the scores,

831
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 2: but USC up thirty five to three, were only midway

832
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 2: through the second quarter. There cow with a slight lead

833
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:53,720
Speaker 2: with about a minute left against Auburn on the road.

834
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:57,279
Speaker 2: And of course that Arizona State Oklahoma State game going

835
00:41:57,320 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 2: on as well, by the way, a late, a late

836
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 2: game in Tallahassee as Florida State is all over Southern

837
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:07,800
Speaker 2: miss And again we'll keep you updated on all that, Jason.

838
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 2: Do you want to get to some NFL and I'll

839
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 2: tell you, you know, I mean, there's lots of preview with.

840
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:13,879
Speaker 3: Week one, but one.

841
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:15,720
Speaker 2: I just feel like we've talked about all these games

842
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 2: for eight nine months, and I you know, I do

843
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 2: think it's worth talking about the one NFL game that

844
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 2: has been played so far this year. As Caleb Williams just,

845
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 2: oh my goodness, Oh my good Caleb Williams just uncorked

846
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 2: in stride like it had to be about a sixty

847
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:37,920
Speaker 2: yard pass that was unbelievable. USC has forty one points

848
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 2: extra point pending they are up forty one to three

849
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 2: on Stanford. Man, he's gonna look good in the trojan's

850
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:46,840
Speaker 2: uniform next year when he when he decides not to

851
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 2: go to the NFL. USC forty one to three. I'm

852
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 2: kidding on that, but it was a bomb to Brendan Rice,

853
00:42:53,120 --> 00:43:00,360
Speaker 2: the son of Jerry Rice, perfect in stride fifty five

854
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 2: yards in the air per de Segre. That was I mean,

855
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:04,839
Speaker 2: you know.

856
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 1: What is what is the final score of this game

857
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:07,400
Speaker 1: gonna be?

858
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just you know, what's weird. I looked

859
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 2: this up this week because I was curious USC because

860
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:14,800
Speaker 2: they played week zero. They actually have a bye next week,

861
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:15,840
Speaker 2: so I.

862
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 3: Mean it was a bye yeah. I mean well, I

863
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 3: mean the whole schedule is so far it's been a bye.

864
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 6: Uh.

865
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 2: And by the way, we've talked about USC plenty this

866
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 2: this fall, so we don't need to get too into it.

867
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 2: But schedule really ramps up the second half. They they

868
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 2: really there's no excuse not to start. Oh you know,

869
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:32,800
Speaker 2: I'll tell you that game at Colorado all of a

870
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:34,280
Speaker 2: sudden looks a little bit more difficult.

871
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:36,800
Speaker 1: Fun that's just gonna be a fun one to watch.

872
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:38,800
Speaker 3: Really quick before we get to the NFL. Do you

873
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 3: want to do Colorado?

874
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 1: Really? We talk about Colorado. Yeah, I mean even if

875
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 1: we we could call this thing half and half, a

876
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 1: little bit of cream, a little bit of milk, and

877
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:46,920
Speaker 1: it could certainly be a lot of college and a

878
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:48,840
Speaker 1: lot of NFL over the next s hampful of us.

879
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 3: Absolutely, So let's let's shot up.

880
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:53,240
Speaker 2: Been to Colorado really quick because they were once again

881
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 2: in that big noon spot. They obviously you know they

882
00:43:57,280 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 2: they won last week against TCU. We opened the show

883
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,319
Speaker 2: that we talked about it. Everybody on the network talked

884
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 2: about it. It was awesome to see the coverage across

885
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 2: the board of Colorado over the last couple of days.

886
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 2: But I think today was fascinating from the perspective of

887
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 2: how does Colorado handle success? Last week they were the

888
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:19,360
Speaker 2: story of all of sports. Everybody's talking about them, and

889
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:23,279
Speaker 2: to their credit, you know, I'll just toss it over

890
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 2: you here in a second. Days but I was very

891
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 2: impressed by Colorado today. They beat Nebraska thirty six to fourteen.

892
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 2: And I think what impressed me on this one, Jason,

893
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 2: is a few things. Is One, they were the talk

894
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 2: of college football all week. It did not phase them. Two,

895
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:41,720
Speaker 2: they faced some real adversity in this game. Now Nebraska,

896
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 2: poor Nebraska fans. More bad quarterback play after years of

897
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 2: Adrian Martinez, but a bunch of turnovers by the quarterback

898
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:50,240
Speaker 2: Jeff Simms.

899
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 3: But I bring it up because the defense.

900
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 2: Was really good, especially early before they got worn down

901
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 2: late and really thought they threw Shadoor Sanders off rhythm

902
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 2: through the Colorado offense off rhythm. And so I guess

903
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 2: what I would say is for a team that was

904
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 2: one and you know, one and eleven last year, I

905
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:11,000
Speaker 2: was so impressed by how they handled all of the

906
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 2: you know, spotlight that came with them came to them

907
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:16,319
Speaker 2: this week. But then I also give them a ton

908
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:19,839
Speaker 2: of credit from the perspective of handling adversity within the game.

909
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:22,960
Speaker 2: They take care of business, they be They beat Nebraska

910
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 2: thirty six to fourteen, and it really wasn't even that

911
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 2: close because Nebraska's final touchdown came with just a second

912
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 2: left on the clock. Colorado a team which won one

913
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 2: game last year. They're over under in Vegas this year

914
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:36,360
Speaker 2: was three and a half. They are now two and

915
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 2: zero with two Power Five wins.

916
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 1: Jase, Yeah, and I'm glad you pointed it out. That

917
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 1: way about how the game started and how the game finished,

918
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 1: because that was really my takeaway. They are a better

919
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 1: team than Nebraska, but Nebraska is a team that made

920
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 1: them earn it, especially defensively in the first half, and

921
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 1: it required, you know, not necessarily adjustments, but just kind

922
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 1: of sticking with your game plan, letting the game come

923
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 1: to you. And Shadoor Sanders didn't make the big turnover

924
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:10,439
Speaker 1: mistakes all game long. He didn't try to do too much.

925
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 1: His receivers didn't have the space that maybe they had

926
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:15,640
Speaker 1: last week, and so he pulled it down and he

927
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 1: ran a few times or a few times he had

928
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 1: to eat it, but he was good at sliding and

929
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:22,799
Speaker 1: avoiding contact and things like that. And then when the

930
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 1: game opened up in the second half, that was a

931
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 1: football team that could easily have started to question themselves.

932
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 1: But I think, and here is where I think, Dion

933
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 1: Sanders is going to be so instrumental in a positive

934
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 1: sense for the young men that play at Colorado. He's

935
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:42,239
Speaker 1: going to make them believe in themselves. The guys that

936
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:44,880
Speaker 1: he believes in, he's going to make sure they believe

937
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 1: in themselves. And they came out in the second half

938
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 1: and they looked like a football team that believed in themselves.

939
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:52,719
Speaker 1: They looked like they had gone in at halftime and

940
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 1: been told, hey, man, you guys can get this done.

941
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:56,759
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, you could make this thing

942
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 1: a laugher, and that's pretty much what they did in

943
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:03,719
Speaker 1: the second half. Again, Sanders looked really good, but Nebraska

944
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 1: could never get anything going offensively, and you wondered, what

945
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 1: was Colorado's defense gonna look like this week? Considering TCU

946
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:12,759
Speaker 1: last week and it being a shootout. This was a

947
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 1: much more well rounded performance in that you saw the

948
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:19,560
Speaker 1: defense have to step up because the offense wasn't dominant early,

949
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 1: and then when they started putting points on the board

950
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:24,480
Speaker 1: in the second half, the defense kind of stuck it

951
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:27,960
Speaker 1: out and was there. So this was this was answering

952
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:30,799
Speaker 1: the call of being the talk of college football all

953
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:34,879
Speaker 1: week long pretty much and being polarizing. So some people

954
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 1: are gonna cheer for it, some people are already gonna

955
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 1: be off that vandwagon and everything else, and you answered

956
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:42,759
Speaker 1: the call. Now it's only gonna get tougher from here.

957
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:47,760
Speaker 1: Nobody thinks Nebraska is a top flight program at this stage,

958
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 1: but they did look and we mentioned this while we

959
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 1: were watching the game in the text chain we were

960
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:55,879
Speaker 1: in that it did feel like in the first half

961
00:47:55,880 --> 00:48:00,440
Speaker 1: the Nebraska had some discipline, They looked better coached, They

962
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:03,560
Speaker 1: looked like a team that Matt Ruhle has put a

963
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 1: little bit of an imprint on them so far, with

964
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 1: a lot more still to go, but they looked better

965
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:12,600
Speaker 1: except with Sims and his four thousand turnovers, but outside

966
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 1: of that, it had to be a positive sign. Also,

967
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:18,719
Speaker 1: just the atmosphere there, the atmosphere in the stadium, just

968
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:23,320
Speaker 1: it felt like it mattered. It felt like Colorado football mattered.

969
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:27,440
Speaker 1: And we are two weeks into the Dion Sanders regime

970
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:31,600
Speaker 1: in the regular season and they already have become look

971
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:33,759
Speaker 1: Notre Dames a top ten team. They were playing against

972
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:35,719
Speaker 1: inca state where I actually went to school for a

973
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 1: couple of years, and I couldn't take my eyes off

974
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 1: of Colorado and Nebraska. More often than not, I was

975
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:46,080
Speaker 1: on that game instead of in c State and Notre Dame,

976
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:48,960
Speaker 1: even when the rain didn't have them off. Because Colorado

977
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 1: has become something that it just piques my interest. I

978
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:55,840
Speaker 1: want to see everything that they do, not to overly

979
00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:58,440
Speaker 1: scrutinize it, but just because I find it fascinating.

980
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:02,879
Speaker 2: It's so funny because that was more than anything, one

981
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 2: of my biggest takeaways was, you know, watching you know,

982
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:09,200
Speaker 2: Ralphie run out of the tunnel and seeing the crowd

983
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:11,879
Speaker 2: go crazy, like it was crazy to like I had

984
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 2: this thought, is that I think you could argue regardless

985
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:19,680
Speaker 2: of what the final resume is, wins, losses, whatever. I

986
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:25,000
Speaker 2: have never seen in my life a forget a cultural

987
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 2: turnaround or a win lost turnaround or whatever. I've never

988
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 2: seen an enthusiasm turnaround, like like Colorado and you know whatever.

989
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:36,880
Speaker 2: We could look up the stats, we watch it, but

990
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:39,720
Speaker 2: they couldn't give away tickets last year. I mean you're talking,

991
00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:44,120
Speaker 2: you know, thousands of empty seats, and so to see

992
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:47,480
Speaker 2: the excitement on that campus, by the way, on the camp,

993
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:51,600
Speaker 2: how about just on the campus where you know you

994
00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:55,319
Speaker 2: had what you call it a big new kickoff was

995
00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:58,000
Speaker 2: you know, they were there.

996
00:49:57,800 --> 00:49:59,879
Speaker 3: At what seven am local time?

997
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 1: So of course you got Gus and Joel And it's

998
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 1: not like they drew the short straw this week or

999
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 1: there wasn't a great matchup. It's like, no, that's where

1000
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 1: the A team needs to go because that's where the

1001
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:09,719
Speaker 1: show is right now.

1002
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:13,640
Speaker 2: No, and it's just I just I can't remember an

1003
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:16,160
Speaker 2: off season like this, because you know, there's been off

1004
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:20,759
Speaker 2: season turnarounds, you know, USC, LSU, TCU last year, but

1005
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:23,799
Speaker 2: USC and LSU were they expect to be good and

1006
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:26,520
Speaker 2: so like LSU, you're gonna get one hundred thousand people there,

1007
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 2: whether you're good or bad.

1008
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:30,279
Speaker 3: It's just you know, and it's just what they're cheering for.

1009
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:32,520
Speaker 2: And so I don't know that I've ever seen anything,

1010
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:35,279
Speaker 2: you know, quite like this, Jason, really quick. You know,

1011
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:38,560
Speaker 2: we talked about this last hour with Texas, the idea

1012
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:40,960
Speaker 2: of would it be a disappointment if they didn't make

1013
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:44,240
Speaker 2: the playoff given the schedule. Obviously that's not the conversation

1014
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:46,680
Speaker 2: with Colorado, but I was thinking about this. Could you

1015
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:49,840
Speaker 2: argue that, I think you could argue at this point

1016
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:53,799
Speaker 2: like they're gonna like they're probably gonna make a bowl

1017
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 2: game right now. The schedules, I think, so, yeah, the

1018
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:57,400
Speaker 2: schedule is really tough. To be clear, they still have

1019
00:50:57,480 --> 00:51:02,239
Speaker 2: Oregon USC, Oregon State, which is ranked, Utah which is two,

1020
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 2: and oh Washington State which just beat Wisconsin tonight. So

1021
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:08,560
Speaker 2: like the schedule is thankless and it speaks to how

1022
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:10,800
Speaker 2: good the pac twelve is but all of a sudden,

1023
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:13,600
Speaker 2: like you look at the ceiling of this team, where Jason,

1024
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:15,759
Speaker 2: you and I three weeks ago and it wasn't a

1025
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:19,319
Speaker 2: crazy take, But three weeks ago we were saying, you know,

1026
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:22,480
Speaker 2: this team could start one in four and it would

1027
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:25,720
Speaker 2: still be deemed a six. We couldn't deem it a failure,

1028
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 2: I should say. But now you look at it, They're

1029
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:30,440
Speaker 2: almost certainly gonna start three and oh they have Colorado

1030
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:33,759
Speaker 2: State next week. They still have Stanford, who is who

1031
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:36,240
Speaker 2: appears to not be very good. They still have Arizona State,

1032
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:39,319
Speaker 2: who is you know, good. But whatever. The point I'm

1033
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:42,359
Speaker 2: trying to make is like three weeks ago, we're sitting

1034
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:46,279
Speaker 2: there saying, if they start one in four, don't you know,

1035
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:48,680
Speaker 2: don't use it as an indictment on Dion Sanders in

1036
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:52,120
Speaker 2: the entire program. Now they're gonna start three and oh,

1037
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:54,359
Speaker 2: and I think if they didn't make a bowl game

1038
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:56,719
Speaker 2: this year, I don't know, disappointment is not the right word,

1039
00:51:56,760 --> 00:51:58,879
Speaker 2: but I think that should be the expectation at this point.

1040
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:00,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think they're gonna be top fifteen

1041
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:03,000
Speaker 1: ranked in a country. Yeah, I don't mean at the

1042
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:06,960
Speaker 1: end of the year necessarily maybe, but I think, especially

1043
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 1: after Colorado State, they are likely to be a top

1044
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:11,560
Speaker 1: fifteen team in the country if they don't find their

1045
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:13,839
Speaker 1: way to it this week. So you look at that

1046
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 1: first off, that's insane that I can say that with

1047
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:22,040
Speaker 1: a straight face and actually believe it, like have true

1048
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:25,919
Speaker 1: belief in that. But yes, I mean I think that's right. Yeah,

1049
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:28,279
Speaker 1: they're gonna lose three four games, but if they were

1050
00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:31,359
Speaker 1: to win seven, I think that's absolutely doable. Right now,

1051
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:33,560
Speaker 1: they finished seven to five, they finished eight and four,

1052
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:37,560
Speaker 1: I could see both of those realities. Now, you never know.

1053
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:41,680
Speaker 9: But if you can beat TCU on the road, even

1054
00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:44,160
Speaker 9: if TCU is not what TCU was last year, if

1055
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:46,920
Speaker 9: you can beat TCU on the road in your first

1056
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:50,600
Speaker 9: game with you know, deonic coach and everything new that

1057
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:53,560
Speaker 9: you have on the field, especially with everything that you're

1058
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:56,920
Speaker 9: having to overcome and to turnover the roster and everything else,

1059
00:52:58,000 --> 00:52:58,759
Speaker 9: then there's no.

1060
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:00,920
Speaker 1: Reason for me to believe that you can't get it

1061
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:05,200
Speaker 1: done against a tough Pac twelve schedule, especially against those

1062
00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:08,879
Speaker 1: second tier teams. So I think right now, saying seven

1063
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 1: to five feels very logical and rational, And that's kind

1064
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:14,120
Speaker 1: of where.

1065
00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:17,359
Speaker 2: I am I yeah, I don't disagree, and it is

1066
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:20,840
Speaker 2: it is amazing where we are. By the way, sports

1067
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:23,080
Speaker 2: q tweets and he says, I agree hundred percent with

1068
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:26,880
Speaker 2: you and Jason Martin regarding Colorado. After the performance of

1069
00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 2: Oregon today, I think coach Prime and Colorado are chomping.

1070
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:30,879
Speaker 3: At the bit to play them.

1071
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:33,799
Speaker 2: Tell you, you know, Oregon obviously did hold on to

1072
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:35,279
Speaker 2: win on the road to Texas Tech.

1073
00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:36,600
Speaker 3: That's a really good team.

1074
00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:39,960
Speaker 2: And it's wild because you know, college game Day decided

1075
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:42,400
Speaker 2: this week to go. They're going to go to the

1076
00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:46,840
Speaker 2: Colorado State game a week from now. But as you said, Jason,

1077
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:48,759
Speaker 2: I mean, Colorado's going to be three and zero with

1078
00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:52,560
Speaker 2: two pretty decent wins and probably ranked in the top

1079
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:55,840
Speaker 2: fifteen when they go to face Oregon. That's two weeks

1080
00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:58,320
Speaker 2: from now, by the way, two Saturdays for now loaded Slate,

1081
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:01,720
Speaker 2: Notre Dame, Ohio State, and a bunch of other really

1082
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:02,320
Speaker 2: good games.

1083
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:05,680
Speaker 1: Think about that. Though game Day is going to Colorado

1084
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:07,080
Speaker 1: Colorado State.

1085
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:09,719
Speaker 2: I know, I haven't looked at next week's schedule yet.

1086
00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:12,640
Speaker 2: I don't know if it didn't matter, Yeah, yeah, I know,

1087
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:14,760
Speaker 2: I know what I'm saying. I mean, like there are bigger.

1088
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:16,040
Speaker 2: There are bigger brands.

1089
00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:18,320
Speaker 1: They're gonna be playing football next week. I guarantee I

1090
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:20,480
Speaker 1: haven't looked at it either. But the fact that they

1091
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:22,360
Speaker 1: are going there and it's not some kind of like

1092
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:27,440
Speaker 1: anniversary of something famous or some retirement or something like that,

1093
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:29,680
Speaker 1: that right there is why you back up the truck

1094
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:32,319
Speaker 1: and you signed Deon Sanders. That's why you bring him

1095
00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:37,120
Speaker 1: to Colorado, because you have gone from completely irrelevant to

1096
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:38,759
Speaker 1: the point where you can just you can go through

1097
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:40,920
Speaker 1: a list of scores and not even notice Colorado was

1098
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:43,879
Speaker 1: part of it. To Colorado becomes not just the lead

1099
00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:46,400
Speaker 1: of our second hour of our show last year or

1100
00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:50,760
Speaker 1: last week, led our first college football show of the season,

1101
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:53,480
Speaker 1: and they are the talk of the world right now

1102
00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:56,480
Speaker 1: when it comes to college football, and we've barely even

1103
00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:59,600
Speaker 1: gotten off the ground with what Dion's gonna do there.

1104
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:02,600
Speaker 3: We haven't and it's it's it's unbelievable.

1105
00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:04,839
Speaker 2: Yes, college game will go there next week, and then

1106
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:07,600
Speaker 2: two weeks from now we get Colorado, Oregon. By the way,

1107
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:09,200
Speaker 2: I don't mean to put a wet blanket on what

1108
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:11,920
Speaker 2: has been an awesome day of college football. Next week's

1109
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:12,920
Speaker 2: schedule is pretty bleak.

1110
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:14,520
Speaker 1: It's I am looking. I'm looking right now.

1111
00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:17,920
Speaker 2: Best game probably on paper Tennessee at Florida, which I

1112
00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:18,279
Speaker 2: don't know.

1113
00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:20,839
Speaker 3: Washington State, that's a big game.

1114
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:24,240
Speaker 1: It's not very game for Tennessee, but Florida.

1115
00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:26,520
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. Penn State at Illinois. That is

1116
00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:28,759
Speaker 2: where Big Noon Kickoff will be next week. Penn State

1117
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:34,800
Speaker 2: has looked good through two weeks. But I'll tell you what. Jason, Yeah,

1118
00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:41,000
Speaker 2: Big New Kickoff. Okay they okay, all right, I stand corrected.

1119
00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:41,760
Speaker 1: What happened?

1120
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:44,799
Speaker 2: I disager says that Big New Kickoff will be at

1121
00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:46,120
Speaker 2: Colorado again next week.

1122
00:55:46,200 --> 00:55:48,600
Speaker 7: They announced it near the end of the broadcast today

1123
00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:51,920
Speaker 7: that they're gonna stay just pregame show. They're still carrying

1124
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:54,200
Speaker 7: the Penn State game, so Gus Johnson.

1125
00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:54,439
Speaker 3: Won't be there.

1126
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 7: Oh okay, the pregame show is going to be at Colorado,

1127
00:55:57,160 --> 00:55:58,719
Speaker 7: and game day is gonna be a that's it.

1128
00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:01,879
Speaker 1: That's that's unbelieva. I mean, ESPN's got the game. They're

1129
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:03,479
Speaker 1: gonna send both crews there.

1130
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:06,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, and Fox has never had like a Colorado State

1131
00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:08,759
Speaker 7: type of team on their Big Newton Kickoff. They're also

1132
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:11,319
Speaker 7: staying in the same town back to back weeks all

1133
00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:13,080
Speaker 7: of this, as you say, unprecedented.

1134
00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:16,799
Speaker 1: Can we have an anchorman fight, like, yeah, Chris, you

1135
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:17,640
Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about.

1136
00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:19,040
Speaker 3: Foller versus Rob Stone.

1137
00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:20,839
Speaker 1: Let's take Rob Stone, Let's get after it.

1138
00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:24,360
Speaker 2: I've seen Rob Stone running through the streets of Manhattan

1139
00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:26,920
Speaker 2: Beach to points. I take him over follow any day anyway.

1153
00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:16,320
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio er Torres Jason Martin, broadcasting live from

1154
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:21,120
Speaker 2: the TAIRAQ dot com studios have talked to a lot

1155
00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:24,720
Speaker 2: of college football so far. We'll revisit Alabama Texas later

1156
00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:26,680
Speaker 2: on in the show, Jason, but it is time to

1157
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:30,680
Speaker 2: get to everything that happened on Thursday, everything that is

1158
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:33,760
Speaker 2: going to happen in the coming days.

1159
00:57:34,720 --> 00:57:36,320
Speaker 3: Let's just start with Thursday really quick.

1160
00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:38,400
Speaker 2: I know everybody on the network has spent the last

1161
00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:42,120
Speaker 2: you know whatever forty eight hours at this point talking

1162
00:57:42,160 --> 00:57:46,280
Speaker 2: about it. But you know, listen, I think there's some

1163
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:50,760
Speaker 2: parallels with Alabama Texas today. Right, it's not apples to apples,

1164
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:55,200
Speaker 2: but Detroit goes into Kansas City gets the win, and

1165
00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:57,800
Speaker 2: I want your perspective. The only thing that I'll say

1166
00:57:58,080 --> 00:58:01,640
Speaker 2: is that it was almost like Texas, right, Like Detroit

1167
00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:03,200
Speaker 2: did not play its best game. And by the way,

1168
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:06,520
Speaker 2: to be clear, I understand Case did not have Travis Kelsey,

1169
00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:09,880
Speaker 2: did not have Chris Jones. But Detroit went in, they

1170
00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:12,960
Speaker 2: were fearless, they looked better coached, and the thing that

1171
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:18,240
Speaker 2: stood out Jason like their speed and their athleticism. And

1172
00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:22,920
Speaker 2: they got dudes all over the field. And so again,

1173
00:58:23,360 --> 00:58:25,440
Speaker 2: you know, again, I know it's old it's old hat

1174
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 2: at this point, but I was so impressed by Detroit

1175
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:32,440
Speaker 2: going in beating Kansas City to open the NFL and

1176
00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:34,800
Speaker 2: what was an awesome debut for the league.

1177
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:38,240
Speaker 1: Yeah. It. The reason why you can be impressed with

1178
00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:41,040
Speaker 1: it is because they entered the game with some hype.

1179
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:44,560
Speaker 1: They entered the game with a level of expectation based

1180
00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:47,440
Speaker 1: on how they finished the last season, the growth that

1181
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 1: had taken place. I liked the draft, but just you know,

1182
00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:56,080
Speaker 1: you get another year after Aiden Hutchinson has debuted. You've

1183
00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:59,160
Speaker 1: got some changes, but you also have some success there.

1184
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:01,320
Speaker 1: So they're not coming in as the old Lions. They're

1185
00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:04,440
Speaker 1: coming in as the Lions that some people are expecting

1186
00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:06,840
Speaker 1: to do something, including me picking them to win the

1187
00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:11,640
Speaker 1: division for example, and they went into the defending champions

1188
00:59:11,720 --> 00:59:14,720
Speaker 1: house and beat them. Now, you don't have Kelsey, that

1189
00:59:14,840 --> 00:59:16,680
Speaker 1: is a huge deal. He's a Hall of Famer waiting

1190
00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:19,480
Speaker 1: to happen. You don't have Chris Jones. That's a huge deal.

1191
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:23,200
Speaker 1: He's probably a Hall of Famer waiting to happen. But

1192
00:59:23,240 --> 00:59:26,680
Speaker 1: anytime you beat Patrick Mahomes, the reigning MVP and one

1193
00:59:26,680 --> 00:59:29,880
Speaker 1: of the greatest quarterbacks to ever live, that's something that

1194
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:31,680
Speaker 1: you can hang your hat on, especially when you're in

1195
00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:34,200
Speaker 1: his house and he hits twenty points and that's it,

1196
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:36,760
Speaker 1: and you walk out of there with a victory. Style

1197
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:39,200
Speaker 1: points aren't important, but you look good. And Jamiir Gibbs

1198
00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:42,640
Speaker 1: had a couple of moments. Montgomery ran a ball well

1199
00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:46,360
Speaker 1: like they just they clicked Amon Ross, Saint Brown looked

1200
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:49,320
Speaker 1: excellent golf, played within himself. There was a lot to

1201
00:59:49,480 --> 00:59:54,440
Speaker 1: like about that performance, and it showed that what we

1202
00:59:54,600 --> 00:59:57,480
Speaker 1: believe that this team was capable of entering the year,

1203
00:59:58,040 --> 01:00:00,560
Speaker 1: they are absolutely capable of it. Because if you can

1204
01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:03,040
Speaker 1: go do that to Kansas City, you could definitely do

1205
01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:05,400
Speaker 1: that anywhere in your own division, but you can do

1206
01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:08,840
Speaker 1: that against anybody. I don't look at it. I don't

1207
01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:11,520
Speaker 1: look at CAC like Bama at all, but I do

1208
01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:14,240
Speaker 1: see the other side, except for the fact that the

1209
01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:16,840
Speaker 1: Lions don't really have that history to lean on. Even

1210
01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:18,560
Speaker 1: they don't have the Mac Brown era, they don't have

1211
01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:22,040
Speaker 1: the Daryl Royal air, but they do have this air

1212
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:26,600
Speaker 1: of relevancy that they haven't had in such a long

1213
01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:29,520
Speaker 1: period of time. And to come out of the gates

1214
01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:33,240
Speaker 1: with people actually paying attention to them for good reasons

1215
01:00:34,040 --> 01:00:37,080
Speaker 1: and winning that game, that is a major step in

1216
01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:40,960
Speaker 1: the right direction for that franchise, for that coaching staff,

1217
01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:42,600
Speaker 1: and certainly for those players.

1218
01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:48,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you're right, the parallel the from the you know,

1219
01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:52,560
Speaker 2: the history perspective, it isn't there. But like, yeah, I

1220
01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:55,200
Speaker 2: just look at Detroit, and like I said, I think

1221
01:00:55,320 --> 01:00:57,240
Speaker 2: where the parallel was for me was you kind of

1222
01:00:57,280 --> 01:00:59,560
Speaker 2: coming into the game and I think both games is

1223
01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:03,080
Speaker 2: like you're kind of like okay, like well if this

1224
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:07,120
Speaker 2: happens and that happens and whatever. But what I guess

1225
01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:09,240
Speaker 2: the parallel is trying to make is to go on

1226
01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:11,720
Speaker 2: the road, and I thought they were just flat the

1227
01:01:11,720 --> 01:01:14,720
Speaker 2: better team. Now again, Casey was missing key guys, there

1228
01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:17,200
Speaker 2: was a million drops. We all have seen the Cadarius

1229
01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:19,240
Speaker 2: Tony memes over the last couple of days, and so

1230
01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:22,280
Speaker 2: like it's not to say that it's apples to apples,

1231
01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:23,840
Speaker 2: but I don't know, Like I just I was so

1232
01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:26,200
Speaker 2: impressed by Detroit because you know, the other thing too

1233
01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:29,320
Speaker 2: with Detroit is I think it's easy for us Listen,

1234
01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:32,120
Speaker 2: the off season, it's talking season, and we get eight

1235
01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:34,200
Speaker 2: months to build up a narrative in our head, right,

1236
01:01:34,640 --> 01:01:36,280
Speaker 2: and so we build up this narrative in our head.

1237
01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:38,680
Speaker 2: We look at all the information that we have, and

1238
01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:41,160
Speaker 2: I get it. But we look at the information that

1239
01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:43,080
Speaker 2: we have and we sit there and say, Okay, well,

1240
01:01:43,480 --> 01:01:45,440
Speaker 2: you know they got hot at the end of last year,

1241
01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:48,600
Speaker 2: and the division is down Aaron Rodgers isn't there. We

1242
01:01:48,640 --> 01:01:50,920
Speaker 2: can't expect the Vikings to win a bunch of one

1243
01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:54,560
Speaker 2: score games, and so we talk ourselves into this being

1244
01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:59,280
Speaker 2: a thing, you know, and maybe it'll happen, maybe it won't,

1245
01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:01,480
Speaker 2: maybe they'll under achieve, maybe a little overachieve. And it

1246
01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:03,760
Speaker 2: is only one week. But for them to come out

1247
01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:07,560
Speaker 2: after eight months of hearing us talk about them, you know,

1248
01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:09,960
Speaker 2: maybe I'll use another college football parallel. It's kind of

1249
01:02:09,960 --> 01:02:11,440
Speaker 2: what we're talking about with Colorado a minute ago. It

1250
01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:14,160
Speaker 2: is like Colorado had a week of us talking about them. Well,

1251
01:02:14,160 --> 01:02:17,560
Speaker 2: we've been talking about six, seven, eight months of what

1252
01:02:17,720 --> 01:02:20,400
Speaker 2: we'll look out for Detroit. Is it finally their time?

1253
01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:22,880
Speaker 2: Are they going to win the division? What about this?

1254
01:02:23,160 --> 01:02:25,600
Speaker 2: What about that? Jared like? And so I don't know

1255
01:02:25,640 --> 01:02:27,600
Speaker 2: that that's just I guess the point I'm trying to

1256
01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:30,880
Speaker 2: make is I'm so impressed because it's one thing for us,

1257
01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:33,040
Speaker 2: it's one thing for us to talk about it all

1258
01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:37,240
Speaker 2: off season, and this isn't Mahomes in casey. This isn't

1259
01:02:38,360 --> 01:02:40,360
Speaker 2: you know, a Tom Brady led team, This isn't an

1260
01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:42,840
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers led team. This is a Detroit team that

1261
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:46,800
Speaker 2: every time that you know, success is within their reach,

1262
01:02:47,120 --> 01:02:49,959
Speaker 2: something weird happens, something bad happens to something whatever. So again,

1263
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:52,680
Speaker 2: it's only one week. It doesn't mean anything. But I

1264
01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:54,080
Speaker 2: just I don't know, Like I said, I just I

1265
01:02:54,320 --> 01:02:58,200
Speaker 2: found it really impressive how they kind of handled you know,

1266
01:02:58,280 --> 01:03:00,200
Speaker 2: kind of they kind of handled the spotlight.

1267
01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:02,760
Speaker 3: They look the part, they look like the better team.

1268
01:03:03,160 --> 01:03:04,400
Speaker 3: Detroit does get the win.

1269
01:03:05,120 --> 01:03:06,640
Speaker 1: The only thing, the only thing I pushed back on

1270
01:03:06,680 --> 01:03:10,600
Speaker 1: that real quick is just it isn't just one week.

1271
01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:12,840
Speaker 1: I mean it is, but it does mean something. And

1272
01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:15,360
Speaker 1: the reason why is because there's only seventeen of these, yep.

1273
01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:18,240
Speaker 1: And it's not one hundred and sixty three games. It's

1274
01:03:18,360 --> 01:03:19,880
Speaker 1: or one hundred and sixty two games. It's not an

1275
01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:23,560
Speaker 1: eighty two game season. It is a large piece of

1276
01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:26,560
Speaker 1: a pie and it is a big, big win against

1277
01:03:26,600 --> 01:03:28,120
Speaker 1: the team that's going to be in a playoffs, the

1278
01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:29,880
Speaker 1: team that could be in the Super Bowl, a team

1279
01:03:29,920 --> 01:03:33,000
Speaker 1: that is the defending champion in the league with the MVP.

1280
01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:35,720
Speaker 1: It's a statement kind of win on the road to

1281
01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:38,320
Speaker 1: get things started. The best thing that can happen to

1282
01:03:38,360 --> 01:03:41,000
Speaker 1: you sometimes and most every team that is a champion

1283
01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:45,400
Speaker 1: has some degree of luck. Well, you caught them without

1284
01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:49,120
Speaker 1: their best defensive player and certainly their best offensive weapon

1285
01:03:49,600 --> 01:03:53,880
Speaker 1: for their all star quarterback. And that may not be

1286
01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:55,720
Speaker 1: the case for a lot of teams that play against

1287
01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:58,480
Speaker 1: Kansas City this year. But that's not your problem, and

1288
01:03:58,520 --> 01:04:00,960
Speaker 1: you don't care because you got the win if you're

1289
01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:03,680
Speaker 1: the Lions or if you're a Lions fan, so you

1290
01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:05,479
Speaker 1: caught them at the right time and you got them

1291
01:04:05,520 --> 01:04:08,880
Speaker 1: off the schedule and you got to win in the process.

1292
01:04:08,920 --> 01:04:10,600
Speaker 1: I think there is a lot to be gained.

1293
01:04:10,400 --> 01:04:12,800
Speaker 2: There, a lot to be gained there. The Lions go

1294
01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:17,000
Speaker 2: to one and oh, really fun game on Thursday. Fox

1295
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:19,400
Speaker 2: Sports Radio Aeron Tors Jason Martin broadcasting live from the

1296
01:04:19,440 --> 01:04:22,600
Speaker 2: Tireck dot Com studios. When we come back, talk about

1297
01:04:22,600 --> 01:04:25,680
Speaker 2: the other big story that broke during Thursday, and oh,

1298
01:04:25,760 --> 01:04:28,160
Speaker 2: by the way, what does it mean for Week one

1299
01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:31,280
Speaker 2: as the Bengals get set to facety Cleveland Browns. We'll

1300
01:04:31,320 --> 01:04:33,480
Speaker 2: discuss that next. Before we do that, let's toss over

1301
01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:35,520
Speaker 2: the news desk, the sager, what is trendy?

1302
01:04:35,720 --> 01:04:39,120
Speaker 7: Well, we have the Texas win at Alabama thirty four

1303
01:04:39,400 --> 01:04:42,800
Speaker 7: twenty four. Longhorn scored touchdowns on three straight drives in

1304
01:04:42,840 --> 01:04:45,560
Speaker 7: the fourth quarter. Not quite as close at the LA

1305
01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:49,360
Speaker 7: Coliseum halftime. Number six. USC leads Stanford on Fox TV

1306
01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:54,640
Speaker 7: forty nine to three. Heisman winning quarterback Caleb Williams just

1307
01:04:54,720 --> 01:04:58,000
Speaker 7: in the first half nineteen of twenty two, passing three

1308
01:04:58,160 --> 01:05:01,680
Speaker 7: hundred yards and three touchdow owns. In fact, the stat

1309
01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:04,400
Speaker 7: folks at Elias point out that in a Pac twelve

1310
01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:08,680
Speaker 7: conference game, this is still a conference matchup. This is

1311
01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:13,280
Speaker 7: a tying for the third largest ever halftime lead. Colorado

1312
01:05:13,280 --> 01:05:16,000
Speaker 7: at about a decade ago, was down fifty six nothing

1313
01:05:16,120 --> 01:05:18,600
Speaker 7: at the break to Oregon. Just for the record, and

1314
01:05:18,640 --> 01:05:22,200
Speaker 7: in fact, AP points out this evening, the USC Trojans

1315
01:05:22,200 --> 01:05:26,040
Speaker 7: so far this season are averaging seventeen points per quarter.

1316
01:05:27,040 --> 01:05:29,360
Speaker 7: They're up forty nine to three at the half in

1317
01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:33,120
Speaker 7: this one. In fact, this is one of the larger

1318
01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:36,080
Speaker 7: halftime leads in any Power five conference game in the

1319
01:05:36,120 --> 01:05:39,720
Speaker 7: past decade. There was an Ohio State forty nine nothing

1320
01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:42,360
Speaker 7: lead a couple of years ago against Michigan State apparently

1321
01:05:42,720 --> 01:05:46,680
Speaker 7: also in progress. Remember Fresno State won at Purdue. Fresno

1322
01:05:46,760 --> 01:05:51,400
Speaker 7: State is tied late at home against Eastern Washington and

1323
01:05:51,400 --> 01:05:53,240
Speaker 7: the Bulldogs fact to kick a field goal just to

1324
01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:57,280
Speaker 7: tie the game. Twenty four twenty four, Auburn is losing

1325
01:05:57,360 --> 01:05:59,840
Speaker 7: at Cal. I mean, you almost can't say that enough

1326
01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:02,360
Speaker 7: out loud to cal Are you kidding me? They've just

1327
01:06:02,400 --> 01:06:05,960
Speaker 7: started the second half California ten to seven over Auburn

1328
01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:08,840
Speaker 7: just starting the second half. It's early third quarter at

1329
01:06:08,840 --> 01:06:12,000
Speaker 7: Arizona State, Sun Devil's ahead of Oklahoma State on FS

1330
01:06:12,040 --> 01:06:15,800
Speaker 7: one fifteen to ten ASU, and the late game at

1331
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:18,600
Speaker 7: owen to Hawaii has Albany now in the lead seven

1332
01:06:18,640 --> 01:06:21,840
Speaker 7: to three at Hawaii mid first quarter. Easy wins in

1333
01:06:21,880 --> 01:06:24,960
Speaker 7: the top ten for Georgia, for Michigan and Ohio State.

1334
01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:28,320
Speaker 7: Florida State won sixty six thirteen tonight against Southern miss.

1335
01:06:28,560 --> 01:06:32,440
Speaker 7: Easy wins for Penn State and Washington. Utah ranked twelve,

1336
01:06:32,520 --> 01:06:34,800
Speaker 7: needed two touchdowns in the last two minutes to win

1337
01:06:34,840 --> 01:06:37,800
Speaker 7: at Baylor twenty to thirteen. Oregon came back to win

1338
01:06:37,840 --> 01:06:41,320
Speaker 7: at Texas Tech. North Carolina needed two overtimes to beat

1339
01:06:41,320 --> 01:06:46,560
Speaker 7: Appalachian State. Washington State upset Wisconsin, wins for Oklahoma, Colorado,

1340
01:06:46,680 --> 01:06:51,480
Speaker 7: and Miami. Two NFL notes Ravens tight end Mark Andrews

1341
01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:54,880
Speaker 7: with the quad injury, likely out tomorrow according to NFL Network,

1342
01:06:55,080 --> 01:06:58,000
Speaker 7: and the Rams placed wide receiver Cooper Cup on ir

1343
01:06:58,080 --> 01:07:00,800
Speaker 7: with his bad hamstring, so we'll miss at least four games.

1344
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:04,520
Speaker 7: Cocoa Golf won the US Open at age nineteen, taking

1345
01:07:04,560 --> 01:07:06,880
Speaker 7: the final after losing the first set. She then won

1346
01:07:06,920 --> 01:07:09,440
Speaker 7: the next two against Arena Sablenco's going to be the

1347
01:07:09,440 --> 01:07:12,360
Speaker 7: new number one in the world rankings. Everything's final. In

1348
01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:16,200
Speaker 7: Major League Baseball, Baltimore won its seventh straight game, thirteen to.

1349
01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:17,600
Speaker 3: Twelve at Boston.

1350
01:07:18,200 --> 01:07:21,560
Speaker 7: In fact, twenty three hits for the Red Sox offense,

1351
01:07:21,720 --> 01:07:24,080
Speaker 7: twenty three for fifty at the plate, and they did

1352
01:07:24,080 --> 01:07:28,040
Speaker 7: not win the game fourteen men left on base. This

1353
01:07:28,240 --> 01:07:32,600
Speaker 7: is a real, real rarity, according to the great baseball

1354
01:07:32,640 --> 01:07:37,360
Speaker 7: researcher Sarah Lang. Since nineteen thirty, to win a nine

1355
01:07:37,360 --> 01:07:41,200
Speaker 7: inning game when you allow twenty three hits, well, that

1356
01:07:41,240 --> 01:07:45,640
Speaker 7: hadn't happened until today. Since nineteen thirty. Arizona won in

1357
01:07:45,720 --> 01:07:48,880
Speaker 7: ten innings at the Cubs three to two. Washington in

1358
01:07:48,920 --> 01:07:51,760
Speaker 7: eleven innings beat the Dodgers seven to six victories for

1359
01:07:51,840 --> 01:07:55,640
Speaker 7: Houston and for Texas, but all eyes are on Texas

1360
01:07:55,720 --> 01:07:59,400
Speaker 7: Longhorns football as they beat Bama on the road thirty four,

1361
01:07:59,560 --> 01:08:03,840
Speaker 7: twenty five. To be exact, it's the Forbama largest home

1362
01:08:03,920 --> 01:08:06,800
Speaker 7: loss they've endured since two thousand and four when South

1363
01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:10,680
Speaker 7: Carolina beat him. Highest ranked team Texas has beaten on

1364
01:08:10,720 --> 01:08:14,320
Speaker 7: the road since the fame nineteen sixty nine game win

1365
01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:18,320
Speaker 7: champion Texas won at Arkansas in front of President Nixon.

1366
01:08:18,680 --> 01:08:21,880
Speaker 2: Back to you, Thank you very much, Steve Desager, Fox

1367
01:08:21,920 --> 01:08:24,599
Speaker 2: Sports Radio, Fox Sports Saturday and Er Tours. Jason Martin

1368
01:08:24,600 --> 01:08:27,639
Speaker 2: broadcasting live from the Tireck dot Com studios to Saga,

1369
01:08:27,680 --> 01:08:30,880
Speaker 2: will rejoin us ten minutes. There's a lot of college

1370
01:08:30,880 --> 01:08:33,320
Speaker 2: football that we have not been able to get to today. Also,

1371
01:08:33,360 --> 01:08:37,120
Speaker 2: look ahead a little bit to Week one of the NFL.

1372
01:08:37,160 --> 01:08:39,120
Speaker 2: Excuse me getting ahead of myself here, So speed of

1373
01:08:39,120 --> 01:08:42,240
Speaker 2: Week one, Jason, I mentioned this, but the big story

1374
01:08:42,360 --> 01:08:45,360
Speaker 2: on Thursday was, of course that incredible win by Detroit

1375
01:08:45,360 --> 01:08:49,360
Speaker 2: in Kansas City. But of course the Joe Burrow extension

1376
01:08:49,400 --> 01:08:52,400
Speaker 2: five years, two hundred and seventy five million broke right

1377
01:08:52,479 --> 01:08:55,559
Speaker 2: as that game was beginning. I want to actually talk

1378
01:08:55,600 --> 01:08:59,120
Speaker 2: a little bit about tomorrow's game Bengals open in Cleveland.

1379
01:08:59,479 --> 01:09:02,120
Speaker 2: But first of all, do you have any do you

1380
01:09:02,120 --> 01:09:05,320
Speaker 2: have any hot takes on on either the Burrow extension

1381
01:09:05,600 --> 01:09:09,320
Speaker 2: or the timing of the release of Burrow Burrow's extension?

1382
01:09:09,320 --> 01:09:11,880
Speaker 3: The floor is yours, my friend man.

1383
01:09:11,920 --> 01:09:14,479
Speaker 1: I wish, I wish I could, wish I could be there.

1384
01:09:14,680 --> 01:09:17,719
Speaker 1: I will say it's funny. I just found it funny,

1385
01:09:17,960 --> 01:09:20,240
Speaker 1: like more than anything else. The timing of it was hilarious.

1386
01:09:20,320 --> 01:09:22,680
Speaker 1: Is he trying to take, you know, some of the

1387
01:09:22,760 --> 01:09:25,720
Speaker 1: luster off the NFL opener, especially because it's the team

1388
01:09:25,760 --> 01:09:27,960
Speaker 1: that knocked him out of the playoffs last year in

1389
01:09:28,040 --> 01:09:32,880
Speaker 1: pretty controversial fashion as mahomes the reigning MVP and you

1390
01:09:32,880 --> 01:09:35,400
Speaker 1: know your news coming out at that point in time.

1391
01:09:35,520 --> 01:09:36,920
Speaker 1: Is that supposed to do anything?

1392
01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:37,120
Speaker 5: There?

1393
01:09:37,280 --> 01:09:41,720
Speaker 1: Is there timing? Did the organization kind of do it

1394
01:09:41,760 --> 01:09:45,040
Speaker 1: that way for a reason? I honestly have no idea.

1395
01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:49,000
Speaker 1: It's fun to think about because Burrow is definitely a

1396
01:09:49,080 --> 01:09:52,519
Speaker 1: very competitive guy, and you could see him doing this

1397
01:09:52,960 --> 01:09:55,360
Speaker 1: not in like a mean spirited way, but in I

1398
01:09:55,520 --> 01:09:59,760
Speaker 1: got you kind of way. I don't know, but it

1399
01:09:59,840 --> 01:10:02,720
Speaker 1: is very interesting that the timing was literally it was

1400
01:10:02,720 --> 01:10:05,760
Speaker 1: what like fifteen to twenty minutes before kickoff something like that.

1401
01:10:05,760 --> 01:10:08,200
Speaker 1: That news like it was very close before the kick

1402
01:10:08,520 --> 01:10:10,960
Speaker 1: kind of reminds you that Aaron Rodgers news that dropped

1403
01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:14,920
Speaker 1: right as the NFL Draft was beginning, basically a couple

1404
01:10:14,960 --> 01:10:18,320
Speaker 1: of years ago, that schefter dropped on ESPN, Like the

1405
01:10:18,400 --> 01:10:22,439
Speaker 1: same kind of deal where the timing is either really

1406
01:10:22,479 --> 01:10:25,480
Speaker 1: coincidental or maybe there was a little bit of calculated

1407
01:10:25,640 --> 01:10:27,200
Speaker 1: going into it. I don't, like I said, I don't

1408
01:10:27,240 --> 01:10:29,160
Speaker 1: think there's anything mean spirited, but it got a laugh

1409
01:10:29,200 --> 01:10:29,519
Speaker 1: out of me.

1410
01:10:29,960 --> 01:10:31,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll sit there and say.

1411
01:10:33,200 --> 01:10:33,679
Speaker 1: My thought.

1412
01:10:33,880 --> 01:10:36,200
Speaker 2: You know, I had two quick thoughts on it was one.

1413
01:10:36,760 --> 01:10:39,000
Speaker 2: On the one hand, I was like, is this uh

1414
01:10:39,160 --> 01:10:43,559
Speaker 2: designed to upstage right the moment? But I could also

1415
01:10:43,560 --> 01:10:46,120
Speaker 2: see the scenario where like Joe Burrow and I listen,

1416
01:10:46,200 --> 01:10:47,960
Speaker 2: I think all these quarterbacks are good guys, and I

1417
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:49,920
Speaker 2: don't want to make him out to be any more

1418
01:10:49,960 --> 01:10:51,360
Speaker 2: of a saint than any of these other guys, but

1419
01:10:51,479 --> 01:10:55,120
Speaker 2: like he is so about like deferring and it's not

1420
01:10:55,200 --> 01:10:57,960
Speaker 2: about me, it's about the team and you know whatever.

1421
01:10:58,280 --> 01:11:00,720
Speaker 2: That I could see him almost doing it so that

1422
01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:03,160
Speaker 2: we wouldn't talk about it. If they released that news

1423
01:11:03,160 --> 01:11:05,280
Speaker 2: on Friday, if they released that news on Saturday, if

1424
01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:08,559
Speaker 2: they released that news on Monday, that's it's a huge

1425
01:11:08,680 --> 01:11:11,680
Speaker 2: talking point for all of us in the media, Whereas

1426
01:11:11,840 --> 01:11:14,880
Speaker 2: it really did get buried on Friday morning. Like I,

1427
01:11:14,920 --> 01:11:16,760
Speaker 2: you know, I was watching Colin, I was watching this,

1428
01:11:16,840 --> 01:11:19,920
Speaker 2: and I was watching that, and and people really barely

1429
01:11:19,960 --> 01:11:22,160
Speaker 2: talked about it. We do want to talk quickly about

1430
01:11:22,160 --> 01:11:25,880
Speaker 2: the game though, because you know, an interesting game as

1431
01:11:25,920 --> 01:11:29,320
Speaker 2: they open on the road in Cleveland tomorrow, Jason. And

1432
01:11:29,360 --> 01:11:33,799
Speaker 2: it's interesting because I was thinking about this, is that I,

1433
01:11:33,880 --> 01:11:36,880
Speaker 2: you know, I like, I feel like you and I

1434
01:11:37,120 --> 01:11:39,559
Speaker 2: in all all of our preview stuff we talked about

1435
01:11:39,560 --> 01:11:43,760
Speaker 2: like everybody, it feels like except Cleveland. Like we didn't

1436
01:11:43,800 --> 01:11:47,040
Speaker 2: talk about Cleveland at all. And it's crazy because all

1437
01:11:47,080 --> 01:11:51,000
Speaker 2: these off seasons, the Deshaun trade, Baker Mayfield, Baker Mayfield

1438
01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:53,920
Speaker 2: is the number one pick, Hugh Jackson, whatever, feels like

1439
01:11:53,960 --> 01:11:57,640
Speaker 2: we always talk about Cleveland and we haven't. What do

1440
01:11:57,680 --> 01:12:00,920
Speaker 2: you expect from Cleveland this year? You know, because obviously

1441
01:12:00,920 --> 01:12:04,280
Speaker 2: there's two polarizing things, right. Is Deshaun Watson just you know,

1442
01:12:04,720 --> 01:12:07,200
Speaker 2: washed up and done or was it a situation where

1443
01:12:07,240 --> 01:12:10,000
Speaker 2: he was suspended for a good chunk of the early

1444
01:12:10,040 --> 01:12:12,040
Speaker 2: part of the season, never really got in his rhythm

1445
01:12:12,439 --> 01:12:14,439
Speaker 2: because of obviously, Like I think it's one of the

1446
01:12:14,439 --> 01:12:17,280
Speaker 2: more interesting stories if Deshaun Watson is some semblance of

1447
01:12:17,320 --> 01:12:20,400
Speaker 2: what he wants was. That's a completely different team this

1448
01:12:20,479 --> 01:12:23,160
Speaker 2: year than they were obviously a year ago. What do

1449
01:12:23,160 --> 01:12:25,559
Speaker 2: you expect from Deshaun Watson the Browns is they host

1450
01:12:25,920 --> 01:12:27,360
Speaker 2: the you know Joe Burnamar.

1451
01:12:27,680 --> 01:12:29,439
Speaker 1: I mean, they won't be what they were last year

1452
01:12:29,479 --> 01:12:31,240
Speaker 1: at the end of the year, which was really bad.

1453
01:12:32,400 --> 01:12:37,840
Speaker 1: I think Deshaun can still play that whole division. There's

1454
01:12:37,840 --> 01:12:40,639
Speaker 1: nobody in that division that I don't think is decent.

1455
01:12:41,439 --> 01:12:44,680
Speaker 1: I don't know who wins it necessarily, just because it's

1456
01:12:44,720 --> 01:12:46,439
Speaker 1: going to depend on health and some other things that

1457
01:12:46,439 --> 01:12:49,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to see throughout the season. But everybody's

1458
01:12:49,080 --> 01:12:52,639
Speaker 1: got some dudes. Everybody has an opportunity to do something

1459
01:12:53,040 --> 01:12:56,000
Speaker 1: pretty good for their organization this season out of that division.

1460
01:12:56,200 --> 01:12:57,840
Speaker 1: And I think the Browns are right there. Like the

1461
01:12:57,920 --> 01:13:01,479
Speaker 1: Browns have some guys to Shawn if you know, he's

1462
01:13:01,560 --> 01:13:03,559
Speaker 1: knocked off more of the rust and he's ready to

1463
01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:06,320
Speaker 1: go and he's able to stay out of the headlines

1464
01:13:06,320 --> 01:13:09,000
Speaker 1: for the wrong reasons and just gets back to it,

1465
01:13:09,320 --> 01:13:12,439
Speaker 1: gets back to a football conversation in Cleveland, which hadn't

1466
01:13:12,439 --> 01:13:15,360
Speaker 1: been true in a while. Then they're gonna be a

1467
01:13:15,400 --> 01:13:18,680
Speaker 1: tough out for somebody, or even before you get to

1468
01:13:18,720 --> 01:13:21,360
Speaker 1: the playoffs, it's gonna be that divisions. They're gonna beat

1469
01:13:21,360 --> 01:13:24,519
Speaker 1: each other around. That's what's going to happen. Those four

1470
01:13:24,560 --> 01:13:29,080
Speaker 1: teams are going to have some seriously physical, big time

1471
01:13:29,120 --> 01:13:31,720
Speaker 1: battles and we'll see who is standing at the end

1472
01:13:31,720 --> 01:13:35,360
Speaker 1: of it. But I mean, Cleveland, the Deshaun thing is

1473
01:13:35,400 --> 01:13:37,560
Speaker 1: still off putting to me when it comes to It's like,

1474
01:13:37,600 --> 01:13:39,719
Speaker 1: I'm still not really ready to watch him play football,

1475
01:13:39,800 --> 01:13:43,360
Speaker 1: But it's universe. I know we have to. It's gonna

1476
01:13:43,360 --> 01:13:46,559
Speaker 1: be there, like he's going to be playing football. And

1477
01:13:47,040 --> 01:13:50,320
Speaker 1: I do think that they have talent, and I still

1478
01:13:50,320 --> 01:13:54,959
Speaker 1: think Stefanski can coach, and so I wouldn't be surprised

1479
01:13:55,000 --> 01:13:57,880
Speaker 1: if they are good or at least pretty good this year.

1480
01:13:58,000 --> 01:13:59,960
Speaker 1: I don't have them winning the division. I don't necessarily

1481
01:14:00,120 --> 01:14:02,280
Speaker 1: have them in the playoffs, but they're not going to

1482
01:14:02,320 --> 01:14:04,360
Speaker 1: be a disaster. They're not gonna be the worst team

1483
01:14:04,400 --> 01:14:06,200
Speaker 1: in the league or anything like that. Even if that

1484
01:14:06,240 --> 01:14:07,960
Speaker 1: would be cathartic to a lot of people.

01:14:53,920 --> 01:14:57,680
Speaker 2: twelve minutes left in the third quarter. Caleb Williams has

1500
01:14:57,800 --> 01:15:00,639
Speaker 2: already got the helmet off hanging on the side. Did

1501
01:15:00,680 --> 01:15:03,600
Speaker 2: you see who he was hanging out with on the sidelines, Jason, No.

1502
01:15:03,760 --> 01:15:06,599
Speaker 1: See, I'm watching Cal and Auburn because there's at least

1503
01:15:06,640 --> 01:15:08,960
Speaker 1: some doubt as to what might happen in that game.

1504
01:15:09,000 --> 01:15:12,360
Speaker 1: So I actually had not gone back over to USC Stanford.

1505
01:15:12,439 --> 01:15:13,240
Speaker 1: So who is he with?

1506
01:15:13,479 --> 01:15:17,800
Speaker 2: He is standing there with USC offensive analyst Cliff Kingsbury.

1507
01:15:18,000 --> 01:15:20,320
Speaker 3: Oh boy, you forgot he was at USC.

1508
01:15:20,439 --> 01:15:22,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, you thought he was in tyl Ansom.

1509
01:15:23,800 --> 01:15:26,040
Speaker 2: I actually had forgot that he was there too. Anyway,

1510
01:15:26,240 --> 01:15:28,240
Speaker 2: we have a lot of stuff that has slipped through

1511
01:15:28,240 --> 01:15:29,920
Speaker 2: the cracks. Do want to toss it over the news

1512
01:15:29,960 --> 01:15:32,200
Speaker 2: desk for his extended update, Steve the Sega, The floor

1513
01:15:32,280 --> 01:15:32,679
Speaker 2: is yours.

1514
01:15:32,760 --> 01:15:36,280
Speaker 7: So that's the Fox TV Late game. Four games on Fox,

1515
01:15:36,320 --> 01:15:38,559
Speaker 7: and we're just starting the third quarter at forty nine

1516
01:15:38,560 --> 01:15:41,880
Speaker 7: to three SC. Caleb Williams with the three hundred yards

1517
01:15:41,920 --> 01:15:44,719
Speaker 7: passing in the first half. Looks like it is over

1518
01:15:44,840 --> 01:15:47,320
Speaker 7: and an overtime win for Fresno State thirty four to

1519
01:15:47,439 --> 01:15:52,280
Speaker 7: thirty one against Eastern Washington. And also we had earlier

1520
01:15:52,320 --> 01:15:55,680
Speaker 7: today James Madison scoring with about a minute left to

1521
01:15:55,680 --> 01:16:01,800
Speaker 7: win at Virginia thirty six thirty five. Well, somehow can

1522
01:16:01,840 --> 01:16:04,759
Speaker 7: we update the fact that Auburn is still losing at Cal.

1523
01:16:05,080 --> 01:16:08,080
Speaker 7: It's ten to seven California with six minutes to go

1524
01:16:08,160 --> 01:16:10,760
Speaker 7: in the third court. Even if Auburn comes back and

1525
01:16:10,800 --> 01:16:13,280
Speaker 7: it's only a three point that this is already embarrassing.

1526
01:16:13,360 --> 01:16:18,320
Speaker 7: Quite frankly, Auburn's offense is frozen. Auburn, we repeat from

1527
01:16:18,360 --> 01:16:20,080
Speaker 7: early in the show, has never won a game in

1528
01:16:20,120 --> 01:16:21,240
Speaker 7: the state of California.

1529
01:16:21,320 --> 01:16:24,200
Speaker 2: But I mean, you can crown out out the resources

1530
01:16:24,360 --> 01:16:27,320
Speaker 2: poured in at Auburn versus Cow, which is literally like

1531
01:16:27,479 --> 01:16:31,439
Speaker 2: hundreds of millions of dollars in debt, probably the worst

1532
01:16:31,439 --> 01:16:34,160
Speaker 2: funded Power five team in college sports.

1533
01:16:34,280 --> 01:16:36,519
Speaker 7: I think it's fair to say that you can't quantify this,

1534
01:16:36,680 --> 01:16:40,679
Speaker 7: but fair to say that Auburn cares about Auburn football

1535
01:16:40,880 --> 01:16:44,000
Speaker 7: about twenty times more than Cal cares about Cali football.

1536
01:16:44,040 --> 01:16:45,400
Speaker 3: I was gonna say that's actually a good point.

1537
01:16:45,439 --> 01:16:48,880
Speaker 2: The care factor at Auburn, you could argue, is number

1538
01:16:48,920 --> 01:16:51,080
Speaker 2: one in all of college football, and you could argue

1539
01:16:51,080 --> 01:16:55,080
Speaker 2: that the care factor at Cal is the lowest of

1540
01:16:55,120 --> 01:16:58,160
Speaker 2: any at least in the Power five. So from an

1541
01:16:58,200 --> 01:17:01,280
Speaker 2: upset perspective on people actually giving a you know what

1542
01:17:02,240 --> 01:17:06,120
Speaker 2: this would be, you know, Buster Douglas versus by Tyson Bass.

1543
01:17:06,160 --> 01:17:09,200
Speaker 1: I wonder who's laughing hardest right now? Oh wait, no,

1544
01:17:09,320 --> 01:17:15,880
Speaker 1: I know it's Brian Harson. Yeah, it is Auburn losing. Yes, yes,

1545
01:17:15,920 --> 01:17:18,519
Speaker 1: Harson's got to be. Harson may not be wearing pants

1546
01:17:18,600 --> 01:17:19,640
Speaker 1: right now.

1547
01:17:20,520 --> 01:17:23,040
Speaker 7: By the way, for those keeping score at home, it's

1548
01:17:23,080 --> 01:17:25,240
Speaker 7: only third quarter, but we may not get a chance

1549
01:17:25,280 --> 01:17:28,559
Speaker 7: to share this debt. It's been a decade since Auburn

1550
01:17:28,840 --> 01:17:31,200
Speaker 7: and Alabama lost non conference games on.

1551
01:17:31,200 --> 01:17:33,040
Speaker 3: The same day. Oh wow, wow.

1552
01:17:33,560 --> 01:17:36,800
Speaker 7: Alabama lost it home to Texas thirty four to twenty four,

1553
01:17:37,560 --> 01:17:41,000
Speaker 7: and here it's been almost a decade since. By the way,

1554
01:17:41,280 --> 01:17:44,800
Speaker 7: Alabama's first loss of the season came before Auburn's first

1555
01:17:44,840 --> 01:17:47,600
Speaker 7: loss of the season, and here they might both be

1556
01:17:47,680 --> 01:17:50,640
Speaker 7: losing tonight again only third quarter, but how is this

1557
01:17:50,720 --> 01:17:53,320
Speaker 7: even happening? Cal ten to seven in the lead. As

1558
01:17:53,320 --> 01:17:56,120
Speaker 7: far as the SEC in general, as far as ranked

1559
01:17:56,680 --> 01:18:00,240
Speaker 7: SEC teams already this year, LSU lost double digits Texas

1560
01:18:00,280 --> 01:18:02,880
Speaker 7: A and M Tonight lost double digits non conference game

1561
01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:06,760
Speaker 7: Alabama as well. This hasn't happened to their conference by

1562
01:18:06,800 --> 01:18:10,679
Speaker 7: those set of parameters in over twenty years. The Texas

1563
01:18:10,720 --> 01:18:15,160
Speaker 7: win was with two superb long bombs floated out by

1564
01:18:15,240 --> 01:18:17,840
Speaker 7: quinn Ewers as part of his three touchdown passes on

1565
01:18:17,880 --> 01:18:20,200
Speaker 7: the road three hundred and forty nine yards through the air.

1566
01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:23,679
Speaker 7: So Texas beats a top five team first time since

1567
01:18:23,720 --> 01:18:26,160
Speaker 7: twenty ten. You might say, oh, that wasn't that long ago.

1568
01:18:26,680 --> 01:18:29,760
Speaker 7: It was twenty ten at Nebraska that was the top

1569
01:18:29,840 --> 01:18:33,559
Speaker 7: five team. So yeah, it's been a little while for coach.

1570
01:18:33,680 --> 01:18:36,599
Speaker 7: As a head coach, Steve Sarkisian to beat an ap

1571
01:18:36,800 --> 01:18:40,559
Speaker 7: top five team hadn't happened since he upset USC about

1572
01:18:40,600 --> 01:18:43,040
Speaker 7: fifteen years ago when he was at Washington. He had

1573
01:18:43,080 --> 01:18:46,639
Speaker 7: been an assistant at USC. Texas defense with five sacks

1574
01:18:46,640 --> 01:18:50,679
Speaker 7: to night Alabama with ten penalties, Alabama's QB Jalen Milrod,

1575
01:18:50,720 --> 01:18:54,200
Speaker 7: two touchdowns, two interceptions, and we mentioned earlier the Longhorns

1576
01:18:54,200 --> 01:18:56,600
Speaker 7: scored touchdowns on three straight.

1577
01:18:56,479 --> 01:18:59,080
Speaker 3: Drives in the fourth quarter. And that was that.

1578
01:19:00,280 --> 01:19:04,360
Speaker 7: ESPN reporting tonight something on Michigan State's head coach Mel

1579
01:19:04,520 --> 01:19:08,480
Speaker 7: Tucker that he is the subject of an ongoing university

1580
01:19:08,640 --> 01:19:14,520
Speaker 7: sexual harassment investigation. The sources did not confirm the complaintant's identity,

1581
01:19:14,560 --> 01:19:18,679
Speaker 7: but ESPN this summer had filed a public records request

1582
01:19:18,840 --> 01:19:23,599
Speaker 7: with Michigan State seeking documents. And for this guy that's

1583
01:19:23,640 --> 01:19:25,759
Speaker 7: in his fourth season, Remember it was only a couple

1584
01:19:25,840 --> 01:19:28,000
Speaker 7: years ago when he was Conference coach of the Year.

1585
01:19:28,080 --> 01:19:31,519
Speaker 7: Arriving at Michigan State, he signed an extension ten years

1586
01:19:31,720 --> 01:19:35,960
Speaker 7: ninety five million dollars. Mel Tucker had been for one

1587
01:19:36,080 --> 01:19:39,760
Speaker 7: season Colorado head coach. Before that, he was assistant at

1588
01:19:39,800 --> 01:19:43,160
Speaker 7: Alabama and Georgia. We mentioned it last week on the show,

1589
01:19:43,200 --> 01:19:46,000
Speaker 7: but Number one Georgia, which won again today forty five

1590
01:19:46,040 --> 01:19:48,479
Speaker 7: to three over Ball State. Georgia is not scheduled to

1591
01:19:48,479 --> 01:19:51,599
Speaker 7: play a ranked team until November the eleventh, when they

1592
01:19:51,640 --> 01:19:54,720
Speaker 7: host Ole Miss. Bulldog scored thirty one points in the

1593
01:19:54,760 --> 01:19:57,599
Speaker 7: second quarter today after a scoreless first quarter at home.

1594
01:19:58,040 --> 01:20:01,320
Speaker 7: Number two Michigan won again thirty five seven over UNLV

1595
01:20:01,479 --> 01:20:04,160
Speaker 7: and Michigan is not scheduled to play a ranked team

1596
01:20:04,280 --> 01:20:08,559
Speaker 7: until November eleventh. At Penn State, Jj McCarthy two touchdown

1597
01:20:08,600 --> 01:20:11,799
Speaker 7: passes to Roman Wilson, Blake Korm three short TD runs

1598
01:20:11,800 --> 01:20:15,200
Speaker 7: and the Michigan d had five sacks. I mentioned it's

1599
01:20:15,200 --> 01:20:18,360
Speaker 7: going to be at Penn State in November. Penn State,

1600
01:20:18,439 --> 01:20:22,040
Speaker 7: rank seventh, beat Delaware sixty three to seven. Delaware had

1601
01:20:22,080 --> 01:20:25,360
Speaker 7: only five first downs the whole day, while Penn State

1602
01:20:25,439 --> 01:20:29,400
Speaker 7: had thirty four first downs. Blue Hen's offense one hundred

1603
01:20:29,479 --> 01:20:33,240
Speaker 7: forty yards Penn State over five hundred forty yards. In fact,

1604
01:20:33,240 --> 01:20:34,960
Speaker 7: Penn State just in the first two and a half

1605
01:20:35,040 --> 01:20:38,599
Speaker 7: quarters six short rushing touchdowns and then a pick six

1606
01:20:38,640 --> 01:20:42,599
Speaker 7: after that. So for the team in the game, sixty

1607
01:20:42,680 --> 01:20:46,599
Speaker 7: carries three hundred and fifteen yards rushing for Penn State.

1608
01:20:47,040 --> 01:20:49,240
Speaker 7: And that is the Fox TV game next week Penn

1609
01:20:49,280 --> 01:20:51,920
Speaker 7: State at Illinois next Saturday. But as they announced on

Speaker 7: the air today, the pregame will be at Colorado next Saturday.

1617
01:21:26,800 --> 01:21:31,120
Speaker 2: tire buying should be. As Segres told you, three games

1618
01:21:31,120 --> 01:21:33,800
Speaker 2: still going on all impact twelve country. Obviously, that goes

1619
01:21:33,800 --> 01:21:37,519
Speaker 2: without saying. Oklahoma State up seventeen fifteen at Arizona State,

1620
01:21:38,040 --> 01:21:40,960
Speaker 2: cal up ten to seven. As we head into the

1621
01:21:41,000 --> 01:21:44,120
Speaker 2: fourth quarter against Auburn, a little bit of a shocking

1622
01:21:44,160 --> 01:21:50,559
Speaker 2: score there the usc Trojans incomplete control against Stanford forty

1623
01:21:50,800 --> 01:21:54,120
Speaker 2: nine to three. Is the score at the LA Coliseum

1624
01:21:54,200 --> 01:21:58,120
Speaker 2: still middle of the third quarter, Jason, Uh, busy day,

1625
01:21:58,600 --> 01:22:01,240
Speaker 2: fun day. I do want to get back to the

1626
01:22:01,280 --> 01:22:05,280
Speaker 2: topic that we led the show with the just the stunner.

1627
01:22:05,640 --> 01:22:07,000
Speaker 2: I mean, I think that's the only way to put it.

1628
01:22:07,160 --> 01:22:07,599
Speaker 3: Stunner.

1629
01:22:07,800 --> 01:22:12,919
Speaker 2: In Tuscaloosa, Alabama came into Saturday night as a touchdown

1630
01:22:12,920 --> 01:22:17,320
Speaker 2: favorite at home against Texas, and Texas bluntly outclassed him.

1631
01:22:17,720 --> 01:22:21,840
Speaker 2: Final score thirty four to twenty four, Texas with over

1632
01:22:22,439 --> 01:22:25,880
Speaker 2: close to one hundred yards more of total offense than Alabama.

1633
01:22:26,240 --> 01:22:29,040
Speaker 2: Quinn ewers. You know, finally, it felt like, you know,

1634
01:22:29,200 --> 01:22:30,920
Speaker 2: the two best games he's probably played in his career

1635
01:22:30,920 --> 01:22:31,799
Speaker 2: where against Alabama.

1636
01:22:31,880 --> 01:22:33,240
Speaker 3: Unfortunately last year he got hurt.

1637
01:22:34,280 --> 01:22:37,080
Speaker 2: He was at full strength tonight and was phenomenal twenty

1638
01:22:37,120 --> 01:22:39,400
Speaker 2: four of thirty eight, three hundred and forty nine yards

1639
01:22:39,400 --> 01:22:43,639
Speaker 2: and three touchdowns. Meanwhile, Jaln Milroe fourteen of twenty seven

1640
01:22:43,760 --> 01:22:48,880
Speaker 2: passing two interceptions with two touchdowns for Alabama. The floor

1641
01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:51,559
Speaker 2: is yours, Jason, I mean, listen, I'll say this is

1642
01:22:52,800 --> 01:22:56,040
Speaker 2: did I see the scenario where Texas won this game.

1643
01:22:56,120 --> 01:22:56,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course.

1644
01:22:56,760 --> 01:22:59,720
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, more established quarterback played them tough

1645
01:22:59,800 --> 01:23:03,840
Speaker 2: last last year, whatever, I didn't see it like this though.

1646
01:23:04,160 --> 01:23:09,559
Speaker 2: Texas completely dominates. They were the better team throughout the night.

1647
01:23:09,680 --> 01:23:12,320
Speaker 2: They looked the part. They look like the top five team.

1648
01:23:12,360 --> 01:23:16,000
Speaker 2: They look like every bit athletic and tough and physical

1649
01:23:16,040 --> 01:23:19,479
Speaker 2: as Alabama. This is just such a big win for

1650
01:23:19,560 --> 01:23:20,479
Speaker 2: this Texas program.

1651
01:23:20,520 --> 01:23:24,559
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's huge. And considering all the pressure that

1652
01:23:24,720 --> 01:23:29,760
Speaker 1: is on Texas, on Sarkeisi and really on the quarterback,

1653
01:23:29,800 --> 01:23:33,280
Speaker 1: on quinn Ewers, this is coming through with flying colors

1654
01:23:33,400 --> 01:23:35,920
Speaker 1: in prime time in the marquee matchup of the week,

1655
01:23:36,040 --> 01:23:39,160
Speaker 1: one of the marquee matchups of the season, with everybody

1656
01:23:39,160 --> 01:23:41,000
Speaker 1: waiting for you to fall on your face because that's

1657
01:23:41,000 --> 01:23:44,880
Speaker 1: what you do, and you don't. And you look at

1658
01:23:44,880 --> 01:23:49,040
Speaker 1: the stats, they say one thing, and the eye test

1659
01:23:49,080 --> 01:23:52,759
Speaker 1: says the same thing. Texas was better. They had better talent,

1660
01:23:52,840 --> 01:23:56,400
Speaker 1: They were faster, they were more disciplined. They had a

1661
01:23:56,520 --> 01:24:00,840
Speaker 1: quarterback that was in a completely different universe than Milroe.

1662
01:24:00,880 --> 01:24:03,559
Speaker 1: Even though you can make a lot of what Milroe

1663
01:24:03,560 --> 01:24:05,960
Speaker 1: did wrong, but he did a lot right late in

1664
01:24:05,960 --> 01:24:09,320
Speaker 1: that football game. But every time Alabama found a way

1665
01:24:09,360 --> 01:24:13,080
Speaker 1: to score a touchdown. Texas answered, that was the most

1666
01:24:13,120 --> 01:24:16,280
Speaker 1: impressive thing to me because Alabama did start throwing some

1667
01:24:16,360 --> 01:24:20,360
Speaker 1: shots late in the ballgame, late in the third quarter,

1668
01:24:20,760 --> 01:24:22,920
Speaker 1: early in the fourth quarter, when it really got interested

1669
01:24:22,920 --> 01:24:24,320
Speaker 1: in with both when they were just going up and

1670
01:24:24,360 --> 01:24:26,439
Speaker 1: down the field, and there are a lot of moments

1671
01:24:26,479 --> 01:24:29,280
Speaker 1: where if you're Texas, you could have really started to doubt,

1672
01:24:29,800 --> 01:24:31,840
Speaker 1: made a couple of mistakes, and found a way to

1673
01:24:31,880 --> 01:24:34,000
Speaker 1: lose a game that was winnable. That's what happened last

1674
01:24:34,080 --> 01:24:35,599
Speaker 1: year to him, as a matter of fact, even though

1675
01:24:35,760 --> 01:24:38,919
Speaker 1: youwers got hurt in that game. But this time around,

1676
01:24:39,280 --> 01:24:42,000
Speaker 1: every time Bama scored, you had an answer, and then

1677
01:24:42,040 --> 01:24:45,639
Speaker 1: finally they made the big mistake, you got the extra score,

1678
01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:48,599
Speaker 1: and then you went ahead and won the ballgame by

1679
01:24:48,640 --> 01:24:52,600
Speaker 1: double digits in Alabama Stadium, which is just not a

1680
01:24:52,640 --> 01:24:55,040
Speaker 1: thing that happens under Nick Stave. And we heard the

1681
01:24:55,080 --> 01:24:58,960
Speaker 1: stat earlier from Stevie Seger, So that to me is

1682
01:24:59,080 --> 01:25:01,840
Speaker 1: kind of the biggest thing is it's a huge win

1683
01:25:01,920 --> 01:25:05,240
Speaker 1: for the program, but it's also one it's a scenario

1684
01:25:05,280 --> 01:25:07,320
Speaker 1: where we have seen them find a way to lose

1685
01:25:07,360 --> 01:25:10,280
Speaker 1: games like this for such a long time that to

1686
01:25:10,360 --> 01:25:13,720
Speaker 1: see it happen in this way in that building against

1687
01:25:13,840 --> 01:25:18,120
Speaker 1: the Patriots basically of college football, and by that I

1688
01:25:18,160 --> 01:25:21,080
Speaker 1: mean there is a chiefs now, there is another. You know,

1689
01:25:21,080 --> 01:25:23,559
Speaker 1: there are a couple of other teams now that have

1690
01:25:23,680 --> 01:25:26,920
Speaker 1: maybe supplanted the Patriots. And I'm talking about right after

1691
01:25:26,920 --> 01:25:29,120
Speaker 1: Brady left or even when Brady was still there at

1692
01:25:29,160 --> 01:25:33,599
Speaker 1: the very end. This is the kind of when that

1693
01:25:33,800 --> 01:25:36,519
Speaker 1: does lead to that B word that gets talked about

1694
01:25:36,520 --> 01:25:39,559
Speaker 1: around Texas that we will not be using on this show.

1695
01:25:40,000 --> 01:25:43,920
Speaker 1: But they certainly have every reason to feel hopeful, their

1696
01:25:43,960 --> 01:25:46,040
Speaker 1: fans have a reason to poke their chest out a

1697
01:25:46,080 --> 01:25:50,320
Speaker 1: little bit. And this was a complete performance for them,

1698
01:25:50,439 --> 01:25:52,200
Speaker 1: even though in the first half I didn't think they

1699
01:25:52,240 --> 01:25:55,759
Speaker 1: look good either. Then that shows again how much talent

1700
01:25:55,800 --> 01:25:58,840
Speaker 1: they had, because when they turned it on, Bama couldn't

1701
01:25:58,880 --> 01:25:59,880
Speaker 1: keep up with them. In the fourth War.

1702
01:26:00,520 --> 01:26:02,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, then I know, and I you know, to be fair,

1703
01:26:03,880 --> 01:26:06,680
Speaker 2: there was there was some moments where it felt like

1704
01:26:06,760 --> 01:26:09,960
Speaker 2: neither team really want to win the game. I mean,

1705
01:26:10,200 --> 01:26:12,240
Speaker 2: for people who didn't watch it, there was a weird

1706
01:26:12,600 --> 01:26:15,479
Speaker 2: There was a weird fourth down play where quinn Ewers

1707
01:26:16,000 --> 01:26:18,360
Speaker 2: tried a QB sneak and he fumbled it. And it

1708
01:26:18,400 --> 01:26:21,679
Speaker 2: was recovered by Texas, and Texas picked up the first down,

1709
01:26:22,840 --> 01:26:25,920
Speaker 2: you know, and then the next play, quinn Ewers throws

1710
01:26:25,920 --> 01:26:27,840
Speaker 2: a pass, it gets tipped and he catches it and

1711
01:26:27,880 --> 01:26:31,479
Speaker 2: starts running it. So there were moments where Texas did

1712
01:26:31,520 --> 01:26:33,439
Speaker 2: not look like you know, did not look like they

1713
01:26:33,479 --> 01:26:36,400
Speaker 2: wanted it either. But I think that was my big

1714
01:26:36,400 --> 01:26:39,679
Speaker 2: takeaway is you know, you you look back on that game,

1715
01:26:39,760 --> 01:26:41,040
Speaker 2: there was nothing fluky about it.

1716
01:26:41,080 --> 01:26:44,080
Speaker 3: There was no you know, weird injury.

1717
01:26:44,240 --> 01:26:46,160
Speaker 2: There was a couple you know, weird plays that went

1718
01:26:46,200 --> 01:26:48,240
Speaker 2: in favor of Texas, but it wasn't as though that

1719
01:26:48,360 --> 01:26:51,160
Speaker 2: was the reason that they won. From the Alabama perspective,

1720
01:26:51,240 --> 01:26:54,200
Speaker 2: let me just ask you, Jason, listen, we know how

1721
01:26:54,240 --> 01:26:56,400
Speaker 2: the College Football Playoff era works. We know that they're

1722
01:26:56,400 --> 01:26:59,920
Speaker 2: gonna have plenty of opportunities to you know, put this

1723
01:27:00,120 --> 01:27:02,679
Speaker 2: lost behind them. And I think if there's any silver lining,

1724
01:27:02,720 --> 01:27:04,479
Speaker 2: it's that the path the SEC is kind of a

1725
01:27:04,479 --> 01:27:08,639
Speaker 2: weird mess right now. Like you know, LSU already took

1726
01:27:08,680 --> 01:27:12,120
Speaker 2: a really bad loss, just like Alabama did. In their case,

1727
01:27:12,160 --> 01:27:15,439
Speaker 2: they lost to Florida State A and m got smoked

1728
01:27:15,479 --> 01:27:16,120
Speaker 2: by Miami.

1729
01:27:16,200 --> 01:27:16,559
Speaker 3: Today.

1730
01:27:17,200 --> 01:27:18,960
Speaker 2: You go on and on down the list you know,

1731
01:27:19,040 --> 01:27:21,559
Speaker 2: Florida already has a loss on their schedule, and so

1732
01:27:21,640 --> 01:27:24,880
Speaker 2: really outside Georgia, nobody looks great in this conference. But

1733
01:27:24,960 --> 01:27:28,000
Speaker 2: I bring it up because, on a scale one to ten,

1734
01:27:28,520 --> 01:27:30,680
Speaker 2: how worried you're a Bama fan? I'll just ask you

1735
01:27:30,720 --> 01:27:34,080
Speaker 2: how worried should Bama fans be? And the reason that

1736
01:27:34,160 --> 01:27:37,120
Speaker 2: I ask is because what stood out to me is

1737
01:27:37,560 --> 01:27:41,479
Speaker 2: it doesn't strike me as there's one simple flip this

1738
01:27:41,600 --> 01:27:45,080
Speaker 2: switch and things get solved. Alabama finished rushing right around

1739
01:27:45,120 --> 01:27:50,400
Speaker 2: three yards per carry, two interceptions. The defense, you know,

1740
01:27:50,479 --> 01:27:53,960
Speaker 2: the pass defense struggled obviously, giving up over three hundred

1741
01:27:53,960 --> 01:27:57,000
Speaker 2: close to four hundred yards of past def of pass

1742
01:27:57,160 --> 01:28:00,439
Speaker 2: offense for Texas against the Alabama pass defense. And so

1743
01:28:01,240 --> 01:28:03,200
Speaker 2: I want to ask you, like, on a scale one

1744
01:28:03,200 --> 01:28:05,880
Speaker 2: to ten, how worried should you be? Because yes, it's

1745
01:28:05,920 --> 01:28:07,800
Speaker 2: only week two, Yes there's plenty of time to put

1746
01:28:07,800 --> 01:28:10,639
Speaker 2: it behind you, but it wasn't one thing. It wasn't

1747
01:28:10,640 --> 01:28:13,439
Speaker 2: If we fix this, we're right back on track. There

1748
01:28:13,479 --> 01:28:16,000
Speaker 2: are a lot of issues, a lot of problems, and

1749
01:28:16,080 --> 01:28:17,479
Speaker 2: I feel like I'd be worried right now.

1750
01:28:17,479 --> 01:28:18,479
Speaker 3: If I was Abama fan.

1751
01:28:18,320 --> 01:28:20,360
Speaker 1: I'd say eight and a half nine. Honestly, I mean,

1752
01:28:20,400 --> 01:28:23,799
Speaker 1: I think I think this is code read not because

1753
01:28:23,840 --> 01:28:27,280
Speaker 1: you just lost a game, but because of what it exposed,

1754
01:28:27,320 --> 01:28:29,080
Speaker 1: which is the fears you already had. This is from

1755
01:28:29,160 --> 01:28:31,719
Speaker 1: David Hale's piece. He always writes this kind of final

1756
01:28:31,720 --> 01:28:34,080
Speaker 1: piece for ESPN every Saturday night late and it's it's

1757
01:28:34,120 --> 01:28:36,479
Speaker 1: funny and it's usually it goes through everything that happened

1758
01:28:36,520 --> 01:28:39,640
Speaker 1: in college football on the day, one sentence about Alabama.

1759
01:28:40,080 --> 01:28:43,479
Speaker 1: For Alabama, all the concerns about an offense without a

1760
01:28:43,479 --> 01:28:46,439
Speaker 1: clear identity and a defense that had softened in recent

1761
01:28:46,520 --> 01:28:50,080
Speaker 1: years were on display against the Longhorns. All right, So

1762
01:28:50,120 --> 01:28:52,920
Speaker 1: there's three phases of the game. There's offense, there's defense,

1763
01:28:52,960 --> 01:28:56,400
Speaker 1: there's special teams. Right there, David is laying out sixty

1764
01:28:56,439 --> 01:29:00,320
Speaker 1: six percent being a problem that's a lot off instead

1765
01:29:00,360 --> 01:29:02,240
Speaker 1: of have an identity and that I can say that better.

1766
01:29:02,320 --> 01:29:04,040
Speaker 1: I mean, that's exactly right. I don't know what they

1767
01:29:04,080 --> 01:29:06,479
Speaker 1: are on offense. I'm not sure what they are designed

1768
01:29:06,560 --> 01:29:10,040
Speaker 1: to do when they're firing on all cylinders, because I

1769
01:29:10,080 --> 01:29:12,720
Speaker 1: don't know that Milroe is a guy that you can

1770
01:29:12,760 --> 01:29:14,519
Speaker 1: rely on to throw the ball. Although in the fourth

1771
01:29:14,600 --> 01:29:17,600
Speaker 1: quarter again when he started throwing with real velocity, just

1772
01:29:17,640 --> 01:29:20,679
Speaker 1: throwing some absolute bullets out there. Those are the best

1773
01:29:20,720 --> 01:29:23,040
Speaker 1: throws he made the entire game, outside the one big

1774
01:29:23,080 --> 01:29:25,080
Speaker 1: deep ball that he hit early in a third quarter.

1775
01:29:25,680 --> 01:29:28,439
Speaker 1: But I don't know what they're supposed to be. They

1776
01:29:28,439 --> 01:29:31,560
Speaker 1: don't run the ball particularly well. Their O line was

1777
01:29:31,640 --> 01:29:35,839
Speaker 1: kind of bullied around by the D line for Texas

1778
01:29:35,840 --> 01:29:38,479
Speaker 1: in the game, and that's only going to continue through

1779
01:29:38,520 --> 01:29:41,280
Speaker 1: the SEC schedule. And then you look at the defense

1780
01:29:41,400 --> 01:29:44,439
Speaker 1: and it says the defense that it's softened in recent years. Yeah,

1781
01:29:44,479 --> 01:29:47,080
Speaker 1: this is not the dominant defense that you can't throw

1782
01:29:47,160 --> 01:29:49,599
Speaker 1: on them or they're gonna pick it off and they're

1783
01:29:49,600 --> 01:29:52,840
Speaker 1: gonna end up with three four turnovers. Even even if

1784
01:29:53,000 --> 01:29:56,639
Speaker 1: the offense, you know, didn't have the quarterbacks that would

1785
01:29:56,680 --> 01:29:58,680
Speaker 1: come later on when they had the wide receivers and

1786
01:29:58,680 --> 01:30:01,160
Speaker 1: everything else, they were able to do it on defense,

1787
01:30:01,160 --> 01:30:03,120
Speaker 1: They were able to do it on special teams. This

1788
01:30:03,160 --> 01:30:04,960
Speaker 1: is a team where I can't tell you what they

1789
01:30:04,960 --> 01:30:07,479
Speaker 1: really are on offense, and the defense is by no

1790
01:30:07,600 --> 01:30:10,560
Speaker 1: means dominant and hasn't been now for a couple of seasons.

1791
01:30:11,040 --> 01:30:13,720
Speaker 1: And that that to me earns about an eight and

1792
01:30:13,760 --> 01:30:17,160
Speaker 1: a half nine, because if I can't tell you what

1793
01:30:17,200 --> 01:30:20,599
Speaker 1: you do right offensively on a consistent basis and what

1794
01:30:20,680 --> 01:30:23,559
Speaker 1: the structure of that is supposed to look like with

1795
01:30:23,680 --> 01:30:27,400
Speaker 1: this group, and then defensively, I don't trust you not

1796
01:30:27,479 --> 01:30:31,759
Speaker 1: to give up big plays. What exactly are we left

1797
01:30:31,840 --> 01:30:37,960
Speaker 1: with outside of Saban being Saban? But eventually that that

1798
01:30:38,000 --> 01:30:40,760
Speaker 1: doesn't win. Eventually that's not enough. We're seeing that in

1799
01:30:40,800 --> 01:30:43,880
Speaker 1: the NFL with Belichick. We're seeing that with a lot

1800
01:30:43,880 --> 01:30:46,280
Speaker 1: of these coaches, Like, eventually it does come down to

1801
01:30:46,360 --> 01:30:49,760
Speaker 1: the guys on the field and them being coached properly

1802
01:30:50,360 --> 01:30:53,320
Speaker 1: and understanding what it is that they do well. And

1803
01:30:53,439 --> 01:30:55,479
Speaker 1: right now, I just think there are way too many

1804
01:30:55,560 --> 01:31:00,000
Speaker 1: question marks about Alabama that don't have a definitive answer,

1805
01:31:00,240 --> 01:31:03,200
Speaker 1: and it's too late to try and answer those problems now.

1806
01:31:03,720 --> 01:31:08,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's interesting because I don't like, not only

1807
01:31:08,280 --> 01:31:11,920
Speaker 2: do I not know what they are, Like, I think

1808
01:31:11,960 --> 01:31:13,640
Speaker 2: they kind of have some tough decisions to make, Like

1809
01:31:13,680 --> 01:31:16,559
Speaker 2: I think like like I was watching that game and

1810
01:31:16,840 --> 01:31:19,600
Speaker 2: it felt like they were really kind of trying to

1811
01:31:19,640 --> 01:31:22,599
Speaker 2: ask Jalen Milroe to do stuff that he's not really

1812
01:31:22,600 --> 01:31:25,840
Speaker 2: good at, right Yeah, And so it's like I don't

1813
01:31:25,840 --> 01:31:28,800
Speaker 2: know if the answer is to change the cup, Like

1814
01:31:29,000 --> 01:31:31,639
Speaker 2: I think fundamentally change the offense, make it more of

1815
01:31:31,760 --> 01:31:34,320
Speaker 2: him running, you know, dual whatever. I'm not an ex

1816
01:31:34,320 --> 01:31:35,720
Speaker 2: as an o's guy. I don't claim to be a

1817
01:31:35,760 --> 01:31:39,160
Speaker 2: scheme expert. But is there a way to either highlight

1818
01:31:39,360 --> 01:31:44,680
Speaker 2: his physical gifts in a certain way or do you

1819
01:31:44,760 --> 01:31:47,439
Speaker 2: go to a less physically gifted quarterback that's gonna do

1820
01:31:47,600 --> 01:31:49,920
Speaker 2: more of what you want? And like, you look at

1821
01:31:49,920 --> 01:31:53,559
Speaker 2: the backups. You know, the kid Tyler Buckner from Notre

1822
01:31:53,640 --> 01:31:57,400
Speaker 2: Dame who transferred in. He was the first quarterback off

1823
01:31:57,439 --> 01:31:59,439
Speaker 2: the bench last week, so you would suspect that he's

1824
01:31:59,520 --> 01:32:03,880
Speaker 2: the backup. Very limited, not a very big guy, but

1825
01:32:04,160 --> 01:32:06,599
Speaker 2: he obviously knows that offense because he came from from

1826
01:32:06,720 --> 01:32:09,320
Speaker 2: Notre Dame, where the offensive coordinator came from. And so

1827
01:32:09,920 --> 01:32:12,400
Speaker 2: I look at it as is this a situation where

1828
01:32:12,600 --> 01:32:15,599
Speaker 2: maybe I think one of two things has to happen

1829
01:32:15,600 --> 01:32:18,559
Speaker 2: for them to have success. Is you either have to

1830
01:32:18,640 --> 01:32:23,080
Speaker 2: change the offense to highlight Jalen Milroe's skill set or

1831
01:32:23,439 --> 01:32:25,559
Speaker 2: you probably have to change the quarterback because it feels

1832
01:32:25,640 --> 01:32:26,480
Speaker 2: like a weird.

1833
01:32:26,280 --> 01:32:30,479
Speaker 3: Round peg what as they say, round thing and a

1834
01:32:30,520 --> 01:32:31,920
Speaker 3: square peg in a round hole.

1835
01:32:32,360 --> 01:32:38,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's just something not right with them, and so

1836
01:32:38,600 --> 01:32:40,760
Speaker 2: it's just I don't even know what else to say.

1837
01:32:40,800 --> 01:32:45,080
Speaker 2: I think the eight and a half nine is dead

1838
01:32:45,120 --> 01:32:48,000
Speaker 2: on from you is this isn't a quick fix, this

1839
01:32:48,040 --> 01:32:51,920
Speaker 2: isn't a one thing went wrong, and then like this

1840
01:32:52,000 --> 01:32:56,160
Speaker 2: is this looks really it doesn't look good for Alabama.

1841
01:32:56,200 --> 01:32:57,160
Speaker 3: Let me just put it that with doesn't.

1842
01:32:57,200 --> 01:33:00,160
Speaker 1: No, no, it doesn't. And a lot of things are

1843
01:33:00,160 --> 01:33:02,200
Speaker 1: going to be written about Texas and now the expectations

1844
01:33:02,240 --> 01:33:05,800
Speaker 1: are going to be on them to fulfill those expectations,

1845
01:33:06,080 --> 01:33:09,639
Speaker 1: and people will continue to wait for Texas to Texas.

1846
01:33:10,400 --> 01:33:13,560
Speaker 1: But they had every opportunity to do that against Alabama,

1847
01:33:13,600 --> 01:33:16,400
Speaker 1: and Alabama couldn't make them do it. They scored a

1848
01:33:16,439 --> 01:33:19,719
Speaker 1: couple touchdowns in less than twenty seconds of game action,

1849
01:33:20,680 --> 01:33:24,599
Speaker 1: and they were the aggressor, and they were a team

1850
01:33:24,680 --> 01:33:27,040
Speaker 1: that legitimately was on that field and looked like they

1851
01:33:27,040 --> 01:33:29,719
Speaker 1: thought they were going to win that game in that environment,

1852
01:33:29,800 --> 01:33:33,080
Speaker 1: which is an environment that usually can doom a team

1853
01:33:33,120 --> 01:33:35,080
Speaker 1: before they ever even step on the field. I even

1854
01:33:35,080 --> 01:33:37,720
Speaker 1: think Sarkisian said that in the postgame he's been in

1855
01:33:37,720 --> 01:33:41,920
Speaker 1: that locker room so many times, certainly on the Alabama side,

1856
01:33:41,920 --> 01:33:43,920
Speaker 1: where he knows there are teams beat before you ever

1857
01:33:43,960 --> 01:33:46,120
Speaker 1: even see them on the field. So you look at

1858
01:33:46,160 --> 01:33:48,600
Speaker 1: him there and that lack of mestique goes back to

1859
01:33:48,640 --> 01:33:52,360
Speaker 1: the Alabama side. Alabama's just not the boogeyman it once was.

1860
01:33:53,200 --> 01:33:57,200
Speaker 1: It's still impressive for now, but as each year goes

1861
01:33:57,320 --> 01:34:00,400
Speaker 1: and you see a few more blips here and and

1862
01:34:00,439 --> 01:34:02,559
Speaker 1: you see a team beat them, or a team that

1863
01:34:02,680 --> 01:34:05,800
Speaker 1: could beat them on the last play or something like that,

1864
01:34:05,800 --> 01:34:08,000
Speaker 1: that's just not what we're used to. And it's just

1865
01:34:09,040 --> 01:34:12,200
Speaker 1: college football has changed. In college football as we knew,

1866
01:34:12,240 --> 01:34:16,040
Speaker 1: it feels like it's almost already out of the building.

1867
01:34:16,240 --> 01:34:19,960
Speaker 1: And you look at Alabama and Alabama is just kind

1868
01:34:20,000 --> 01:34:23,719
Speaker 1: of in a sea of good to at times really

1869
01:34:23,720 --> 01:34:27,320
Speaker 1: good teams, but certainly a team that can be had

1870
01:34:27,439 --> 01:34:31,080
Speaker 1: on any given week by a competent football team that's

1871
01:34:31,120 --> 01:34:33,599
Speaker 1: well coached and doesn't beat themselves. And that didn't used

1872
01:34:33,600 --> 01:34:35,240
Speaker 1: to be the case. There were just a bunch of

1873
01:34:35,280 --> 01:34:37,960
Speaker 1: teams just they've got no chance to beat Alabama. That's

1874
01:34:37,960 --> 01:34:41,080
Speaker 1: just not the case. Now. Texas does have I saw

1875
01:34:41,120 --> 01:34:43,519
Speaker 1: this in an athletic piece at twenty four to seven

1876
01:34:43,560 --> 01:34:47,880
Speaker 1: Sports number six in their Talent Composite rankings. So I mean,

1877
01:34:47,920 --> 01:34:49,840
Speaker 1: this is a team that has a ton of talent

1878
01:34:49,960 --> 01:34:53,200
Speaker 1: on it, but that hasn't mattered at Texas for a while.

1879
01:34:53,520 --> 01:34:56,200
Speaker 1: For them to have the dudes but actually go in

1880
01:34:56,240 --> 01:34:59,160
Speaker 1: there with those dudes and win and leave that building

1881
01:34:59,200 --> 01:35:04,440
Speaker 1: with that w That shows massive progress already for that program,

1882
01:35:04,800 --> 01:35:06,680
Speaker 1: even though we're not going to use that you know

1883
01:35:06,840 --> 01:35:08,760
Speaker 1: word that rhymes with ghak. Yeah.

1884
01:35:08,800 --> 01:35:11,600
Speaker 2: And it's funny because it's interesting that you said, you know,

1885
01:35:11,800 --> 01:35:15,360
Speaker 2: like you know, college football is changing, and like it is,

1886
01:35:15,720 --> 01:35:17,960
Speaker 2: you know, next year, it literally changes in all the

1887
01:35:18,000 --> 01:35:19,720
Speaker 2: ways that we've spent the last couple of months talking

1888
01:35:19,720 --> 01:35:22,439
Speaker 2: about twelve team playoff, you know, big big ten as,

1889
01:35:22,479 --> 01:35:25,759
Speaker 2: this many teams PAC twelve doesn't exist, all that good stuff.

1890
01:35:26,240 --> 01:35:28,640
Speaker 2: It does feel like it like that, Like it just

1891
01:35:28,720 --> 01:35:31,280
Speaker 2: feels like we're entering a new era, not just from

1892
01:35:31,320 --> 01:35:35,080
Speaker 2: that perspective but from like where we are right. I mean,

1893
01:35:35,120 --> 01:35:38,800
Speaker 2: look at Clemson on Monday night, Look at Ohio State,

1894
01:35:38,880 --> 01:35:42,120
Speaker 2: which has been largely pretty unimpressive early on. And you know,

1895
01:35:42,160 --> 01:35:45,120
Speaker 2: I'm watching the USC game right now and Lincoln Riley, like,

1896
01:35:45,280 --> 01:35:47,479
Speaker 2: you know, we'll see if he has that defense figured out.

1897
01:35:47,479 --> 01:35:51,760
Speaker 2: But like they're new and different, and Texas is new

1898
01:35:51,800 --> 01:35:57,280
Speaker 2: and different and Georgia is still relatively new, uh, you know,

1899
01:35:57,400 --> 01:35:59,400
Speaker 2: kind of on the level that they've been on, and

1900
01:35:59,479 --> 01:36:02,559
Speaker 2: so it just feels it does feel like it's not

1901
01:36:02,600 --> 01:36:06,559
Speaker 2: only a literal changing of you know, changing of the

1902
01:36:06,640 --> 01:36:09,639
Speaker 2: sport at the top with the playoff and the conference

1903
01:36:09,640 --> 01:36:12,160
Speaker 2: realignment and all that, it feels to me like a

1904
01:36:12,200 --> 01:36:17,400
Speaker 2: metaphorical like the mid two thousands or mid twenty tens

1905
01:36:17,479 --> 01:36:21,120
Speaker 2: are long gone. Bama isn't the same, Clemson isn't in

1906
01:36:21,160 --> 01:36:23,240
Speaker 2: the same, Ohio State might not be the same.

1907
01:36:23,520 --> 01:36:23,920
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1908
01:36:24,080 --> 01:36:26,280
Speaker 2: Just an interesting thought here as we kind of wrap

1909
01:36:26,320 --> 01:36:28,759
Speaker 2: up the college football portion of today's shows. I hadn't

1910
01:36:28,760 --> 01:36:32,599
Speaker 2: really thought about it, but Texas Texas looked the part

1911
01:36:33,040 --> 01:36:35,360
Speaker 2: usc right now, and maybe it's just because Stanford is

1912
01:36:35,400 --> 01:36:39,320
Speaker 2: that bad, looks the part just maybe a different world,

1913
01:36:39,520 --> 01:36:41,600
Speaker 2: a different year that we're entering that just might be

1914
01:36:41,640 --> 01:36:42,120
Speaker 2: the answer.

1915
01:36:42,479 --> 01:36:44,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, And you hope that, you hope it's just going

1916
01:36:45,040 --> 01:36:47,360
Speaker 1: to expand to where there are more teams where you

1917
01:36:47,560 --> 01:36:50,599
Speaker 1: believe in them. That's the one thing college football has

1918
01:36:50,680 --> 01:36:53,719
Speaker 1: needed for a long time. Even if you're a fan

1919
01:36:53,800 --> 01:36:57,120
Speaker 1: of one of the Juggernauts, the sport is better if

1920
01:36:57,160 --> 01:36:59,120
Speaker 1: you have a lot more teams that you believe actually

1921
01:36:59,200 --> 01:37:01,840
Speaker 1: have a shot to win championship. That's what you're gonna

1922
01:37:01,840 --> 01:37:04,080
Speaker 1: get out of the twelve team playoff. If indeed you

1923
01:37:04,200 --> 01:37:08,759
Speaker 1: start to see a few of the real juggernauts maybe

1924
01:37:08,800 --> 01:37:10,960
Speaker 1: take half a step back into the same time, you

1925
01:37:11,000 --> 01:37:14,320
Speaker 1: see a couple of colossuses emerge. And that's that, I

1926
01:37:14,320 --> 01:37:17,320
Speaker 1: think is maybe what this season is going to prove.

1927
01:37:17,400 --> 01:37:23,160
Speaker 1: You are seeing some that are perennially there look but

1928
01:37:23,600 --> 01:37:26,240
Speaker 1: I would call them pedestrian, but look mortal for the

1929
01:37:26,280 --> 01:37:28,680
Speaker 1: first time in a while, and you're seeing some other

1930
01:37:28,720 --> 01:37:31,720
Speaker 1: schools start to take some massive strides at a time

1931
01:37:31,760 --> 01:37:34,760
Speaker 1: where realignment is coming and the playing field has changed

1932
01:37:34,800 --> 01:37:38,080
Speaker 1: because of nil and collectives and everything that surrounds it.

1933
01:37:38,160 --> 01:37:42,880
Speaker 1: The transfer a portal and if that continues, that will

1934
01:37:42,880 --> 01:37:45,880
Speaker 1: be better for college football in terms of us having

1935
01:37:45,920 --> 01:37:48,960
Speaker 1: a more you know, just a more well rounded sport

1936
01:37:48,960 --> 01:37:51,599
Speaker 1: where things are much more in doubt week to week.

1937
01:37:52,000 --> 01:37:54,479
Speaker 1: That I think is something that the sport could use

1938
01:37:54,520 --> 01:37:56,880
Speaker 1: for For those that are on the fence about college

1939
01:37:56,880 --> 01:37:59,360
Speaker 1: football that don't live and breathe it like you and

1940
01:37:59,439 --> 01:38:02,960
Speaker 1: I do. I think that's gonna be a massive benefit

1941
01:38:03,000 --> 01:38:03,719
Speaker 1: to those people.

Speaker 2: Tirec dot Com studios. Should mention thirty four minutes for now.

1954
01:38:47,320 --> 01:38:50,439
Speaker 2: Bernie Frado of The Bernie Frado Show will follow us.

1955
01:38:51,120 --> 01:38:54,519
Speaker 2: Bernie always does great work out there in Vegas, and

1956
01:38:54,600 --> 01:38:57,760
Speaker 2: I know he's got a lot heading into Week one

1957
01:38:57,920 --> 01:39:01,240
Speaker 2: of the NFL tomorrow. A right, speaking of which, Jason,

1958
01:39:01,680 --> 01:39:03,280
Speaker 2: I know we have a full set of games to

1959
01:39:03,280 --> 01:39:05,200
Speaker 2: preview tomorrow, but I want to jump right ahead to

1960
01:39:05,280 --> 01:39:07,880
Speaker 2: that Monday night game because that is obviously the one

1961
01:39:07,880 --> 01:39:11,960
Speaker 2: that so many people are looking forward to Bills facing

1962
01:39:11,960 --> 01:39:14,800
Speaker 2: the Jets Monday Night football debut of Aaron Rodgers in

1963
01:39:14,920 --> 01:39:17,360
Speaker 2: New York. What do you expect to see on Monday

1964
01:39:17,400 --> 01:39:19,519
Speaker 2: Night when those two get together in New York.

1965
01:39:20,600 --> 01:39:23,920
Speaker 1: I can't wait for that game. You asked me earlier today,

1966
01:39:24,960 --> 01:39:27,200
Speaker 1: what I was excited about going into Week one? If

1967
01:39:27,240 --> 01:39:29,840
Speaker 1: there was something like specifics, just well, all of it

1968
01:39:29,920 --> 01:39:32,160
Speaker 1: because the NFL and I just can't wait to indulge

1969
01:39:32,200 --> 01:39:35,400
Speaker 1: in all of it. But Monday. Just man coming out

1970
01:39:35,400 --> 01:39:37,840
Speaker 1: of the gates with that on Monday Night football, with

1971
01:39:38,160 --> 01:39:41,759
Speaker 1: the storylines, with whatever we're going to see from the Jets,

1972
01:39:42,200 --> 01:39:44,799
Speaker 1: out of the gates with Aaron Rodgers, with the Bills

1973
01:39:44,840 --> 01:39:47,920
Speaker 1: coming off a relatively tumultuous offseason, after what had to

1974
01:39:47,920 --> 01:39:51,439
Speaker 1: be seen as a disappointing end to their season much

1975
01:39:51,479 --> 01:39:56,000
Speaker 1: more prematurely than they had anticipated and hoped for. There's

1976
01:39:56,040 --> 01:40:00,760
Speaker 1: just a lot here. I mean, Alan versus Rogers. What

1977
01:40:01,040 --> 01:40:03,599
Speaker 1: is it just watching him in that uniform for four

1978
01:40:03,680 --> 01:40:07,120
Speaker 1: quarters and what that's gonna look like. There are playmakers

1979
01:40:07,120 --> 01:40:10,280
Speaker 1: for Aaron Rodgers on this Jets team. We're gonna see,

1980
01:40:10,320 --> 01:40:13,080
Speaker 1: you know, Brice Hall back out there, Dalvin Cook, We'll

1981
01:40:13,120 --> 01:40:15,479
Speaker 1: probably see him out there from time to time for

1982
01:40:15,560 --> 01:40:17,360
Speaker 1: the Jets and then just the Bills. I mean, the

1983
01:40:17,400 --> 01:40:20,080
Speaker 1: Bills were last year's darlings, they were last year's favorites,

1984
01:40:20,360 --> 01:40:22,920
Speaker 1: they didn't win the championship. This is a big time

1985
01:40:23,000 --> 01:40:25,200
Speaker 1: year with a lot of pressure on their head coach.

1986
01:40:25,520 --> 01:40:27,960
Speaker 1: I believe if they don't make Super Bowl, I'm not

1987
01:40:28,000 --> 01:40:30,040
Speaker 1: sure he's back. At the very least, they better make

1988
01:40:30,080 --> 01:40:33,439
Speaker 1: the conference championship game. And this is gonna be one

1989
01:40:33,479 --> 01:40:36,679
Speaker 1: of those divisions where the head to head is going

1990
01:40:36,720 --> 01:40:39,040
Speaker 1: to determine who wins it because there's gonna be not

1991
01:40:39,120 --> 01:40:41,800
Speaker 1: a lot separating these teams, at least the three of

1992
01:40:41,840 --> 01:40:44,360
Speaker 1: the four. So it's just it's a matchup with a

1993
01:40:44,400 --> 01:40:46,800
Speaker 1: lot on the line that's gonna be important all the

1994
01:40:46,800 --> 01:40:49,320
Speaker 1: way through the season. And it's gonna be one of

1995
01:40:49,320 --> 01:40:53,360
Speaker 1: those it's gonna be kind of a very early stage

1996
01:40:54,200 --> 01:40:57,639
Speaker 1: game that determines one direction for one team and another

1997
01:40:57,760 --> 01:40:59,800
Speaker 1: for another. You don't want to overreact to a week

1998
01:40:59,800 --> 01:41:02,639
Speaker 1: one game. I know, crazy things can happen and teams

1999
01:41:03,000 --> 01:41:05,800
Speaker 1: can lose and come back there's still time, but this

2000
01:41:05,920 --> 01:41:10,000
Speaker 1: feels like a big, big, big time matchup with a

2001
01:41:10,040 --> 01:41:12,040
Speaker 1: lot of importance for the rest of the season.

2002
01:41:13,000 --> 01:41:13,839
Speaker 3: I'm with you.

2003
01:41:15,200 --> 01:41:19,160
Speaker 2: In the you know, in not a very shocking statement,

2004
01:41:20,160 --> 01:41:22,439
Speaker 2: I'm just so excited about this game. And you know, listen,

2005
01:41:22,479 --> 01:41:25,439
Speaker 2: I'm so excited because you know, it's kind of what

2006
01:41:25,479 --> 01:41:27,559
Speaker 2: we talked about with Detroit, right is it's one thing

2007
01:41:27,640 --> 01:41:32,160
Speaker 2: to talk about something for weeks and months in the

2008
01:41:32,240 --> 01:41:34,760
Speaker 2: lead up to a season, and it is quite another thing,

2009
01:41:36,080 --> 01:41:37,639
Speaker 2: you know, see it all play out on the field.

2010
01:41:37,640 --> 01:41:39,160
Speaker 2: And I think, you know, one thing you and I

2011
01:41:39,160 --> 01:41:41,200
Speaker 2: were talking about earlier in the day as we kind

2012
01:41:41,200 --> 01:41:44,360
Speaker 2: of prep for this show, This to me feels like

2013
01:41:44,360 --> 01:41:47,080
Speaker 2: like a big college game, right like where you know,

2014
01:41:47,160 --> 01:41:50,559
Speaker 2: I know that the NFL, they're a big week one, week,

2015
01:41:50,600 --> 01:41:54,519
Speaker 2: two week five, week eight games where a definitive narrative

2016
01:41:55,080 --> 01:41:57,120
Speaker 2: you know, comes out about a team, whether it's fair

2017
01:41:57,240 --> 01:41:59,840
Speaker 2: or not. But this feels almost like to me, you know,

2018
01:42:00,200 --> 01:42:03,520
Speaker 2: not life and death is obviously hyperbole in its exaggeration,

2019
01:42:03,640 --> 01:42:06,759
Speaker 2: but that's how some big time college football games feel.

2020
01:42:06,840 --> 01:42:09,160
Speaker 2: And that's how I feel it's gonna feel like for

2021
01:42:09,200 --> 01:42:11,760
Speaker 2: the team that loses this game, is that there's a

2022
01:42:11,800 --> 01:42:14,360
Speaker 2: bunch of different teams that you know, you lose Week one, Okay,

2023
01:42:14,439 --> 01:42:16,639
Speaker 2: it's this it's that it's not a division game, it's whatever.

2024
01:42:17,280 --> 01:42:21,160
Speaker 2: This is a highly competitive division. These are two teams

2025
01:42:21,160 --> 01:42:25,000
Speaker 2: that have crazy high expectations, and these are two teams

2026
01:42:25,320 --> 01:42:30,519
Speaker 2: that we both have reasons to doubt ultimately, you know,

2027
01:42:30,640 --> 01:42:33,000
Speaker 2: if they will be able to reach their ceiling this year.

2028
01:42:33,120 --> 01:42:35,360
Speaker 2: So again, it goes without saying that. I think that

2029
01:42:35,439 --> 01:42:38,000
Speaker 2: this is the you know, this is this is the

2030
01:42:38,040 --> 01:42:41,479
Speaker 2: most marquee game of the weekend. I'm so excited about

2031
01:42:41,479 --> 01:42:44,160
Speaker 2: this one, so excited to see how it plays out.

2032
01:42:44,200 --> 01:42:45,280

01:48:33,920 --> 01:48:36,200
Speaker 1: you like that. One's kind of tough to call because

2142
01:48:36,240 --> 01:48:38,680
Speaker 1: that's a hard place to go play. The one thing

2143
01:48:38,720 --> 01:48:40,880
Speaker 1: I will say is because of the time of year,

2144
01:48:40,960 --> 01:48:45,040
Speaker 1: it's still not that cold, so San fran that would

2145
01:48:45,040 --> 01:48:47,519
Speaker 1: be a much tougher game going there in December because

2146
01:48:47,520 --> 01:48:49,080
Speaker 1: it would be so much more of a shock to

2147
01:48:49,120 --> 01:48:52,360
Speaker 1: their system to play outdoors in those elements. Not really

2148
01:48:52,400 --> 01:48:55,559
Speaker 1: gonna have that advantage. I got San Francisco in the

2149
01:48:55,600 --> 01:48:59,400
Speaker 1: Super Bowl against Kansas City, so I like them. But

2150
01:48:59,560 --> 01:49:01,599
Speaker 1: that's going to be a tough one. That's gonna show

2151
01:49:01,640 --> 01:49:05,639
Speaker 1: you right off the bat what Pittsburgh could potentially be

2152
01:49:05,640 --> 01:49:08,440
Speaker 1: because that's gonna be picking against a really good defense

2153
01:49:08,520 --> 01:49:10,719
Speaker 1: and a fired up Nick Boso who just got paid.

2154
01:49:11,439 --> 01:49:12,800
Speaker 2: I know, I said, I want to rip through these

2155
01:49:12,800 --> 01:49:15,679
Speaker 2: really quick. But I question for you, like Kenny Pickett.

2156
01:49:16,400 --> 01:49:19,760
Speaker 2: There's a lot of Kenny Pickett buzz this summer with

2157
01:49:19,800 --> 01:49:21,799
Speaker 2: it Yes, okay, so I'm not crazy.

2158
01:49:22,600 --> 01:49:24,160
Speaker 3: I I have a quick take on this.

2159
01:49:24,680 --> 01:49:27,400
Speaker 2: I think it's because he's basically the only quarterback that

2160
01:49:27,520 --> 01:49:30,719
Speaker 2: plays all the preseason games, and because he was really

2161
01:49:30,760 --> 01:49:33,040
Speaker 2: the only rookie quarterback of note last year.

2162
01:49:33,320 --> 01:49:35,800
Speaker 3: It just feels like everybody wants to talk about. I

2163
01:49:35,840 --> 01:49:36,080
Speaker 3: don't know.

2164
01:49:36,120 --> 01:49:39,240
Speaker 2: I I think he's fine. I think he's a B

2165
01:49:39,439 --> 01:49:42,160
Speaker 2: to B minus quarterback. Like I don't, you know, I

2166
01:49:42,200 --> 01:49:45,360
Speaker 2: don't think there's anything inherently special about him.

2167
01:49:45,439 --> 01:49:46,840
Speaker 3: But yeah, so that's my key.

2168
01:49:46,880 --> 01:49:48,240
Speaker 1: Look, they've got a lot of weapons. I mean, they

2169
01:49:48,320 --> 01:49:51,040
Speaker 1: got Pickings, they got Deontay Johnson, they got Friar Muth.

2170
01:49:51,080 --> 01:49:52,679
Speaker 1: I mean they got guys that can do something. Naja

2171
01:49:52,720 --> 01:49:55,280
Speaker 1: Harris coming out of the backfield. I think his ceiling

2172
01:49:55,360 --> 01:49:58,280
Speaker 1: is relatively low, but his floor is relatively high. I

2173
01:49:58,280 --> 01:50:00,160
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be a he's gonna be pretty a

2174
01:50:00,160 --> 01:50:02,880
Speaker 1: good quarterback. But he's a middle of the roague quarterback.

2175
01:50:02,880 --> 01:50:05,439
Speaker 1: He's not an elite guy. And I don't know, And

2176
01:50:05,520 --> 01:50:10,080
Speaker 1: I'll stacked AFC full of those dudes playing quarterback if

2177
01:50:10,080 --> 01:50:13,360
Speaker 1: that's gonna be enough to carry Pittsburgh to a super Bowl.

2178
01:50:13,760 --> 01:50:16,360
Speaker 2: You're Denver Broncos hosting the Vegas Raiders. Just want your

2179
01:50:16,400 --> 01:50:18,639
Speaker 2: quick perspective. You know that that report that came out

2180
01:50:18,680 --> 01:50:22,120
Speaker 2: Sean Payton telling Russell Wilson stop acting like a you

2181
01:50:22,160 --> 01:50:26,080
Speaker 2: know what politician? Do you like the tone that Sean

2182
01:50:26,080 --> 01:50:28,839
Speaker 2: Payton is setting in that building as the news coach.

2183
01:50:28,720 --> 01:50:32,439
Speaker 1: I mean it shows what we already knew, which is

2184
01:50:32,560 --> 01:50:35,519
Speaker 1: this is his team. It ain't Russ's anymore. This is

2185
01:50:35,560 --> 01:50:40,640
Speaker 1: Sean Payton's until he decides otherwise. Sean Payton, I think

2186
01:50:40,720 --> 01:50:42,479
Speaker 1: this is a one year experiment with Russ. If it

2187
01:50:42,520 --> 01:50:45,920
Speaker 1: doesn't work out, I guarantee you that the Broncos front

2188
01:50:45,960 --> 01:50:48,160
Speaker 1: office has said we will part ways with him no

2189
01:50:48,160 --> 01:50:50,799
Speaker 1: matter what and get you what you want. I guarantee

2190
01:50:50,840 --> 01:50:53,160
Speaker 1: you that's what's going to happen. So he is walking

2191
01:50:53,200 --> 01:50:54,960
Speaker 1: around and he's looking at the culture of last year,

2192
01:50:54,960 --> 01:50:57,760
Speaker 1: and I'm sure he got all the reports, and he

2193
01:50:57,880 --> 01:50:59,559
Speaker 1: is trying to nip it in the butt because a

2194
01:50:59,560 --> 01:51:02,080
Speaker 1: lot of the stories that you heard kind of leak

2195
01:51:02,120 --> 01:51:05,679
Speaker 1: from time to time out of Seattle. You're getting similar

2196
01:51:05,720 --> 01:51:08,160
Speaker 1: stuff here. And Peyton's just like, hey man, you're too

2197
01:51:08,200 --> 01:51:11,960
Speaker 1: good to be this annoying. You're too good to be

2198
01:51:12,080 --> 01:51:14,920
Speaker 1: this phony. You don't have to do this. Just go

2199
01:51:14,960 --> 01:51:17,599
Speaker 1: play football, just you and me. Let's go out here

2200
01:51:17,600 --> 01:51:20,240
Speaker 1: and let's win some games, and let's stop stop with

2201
01:51:20,280 --> 01:51:23,639
Speaker 1: the phony. And I think there's something to it. There's

2202
01:51:23,720 --> 01:51:26,519
Speaker 1: just too much smoke here for there not to be fire.

2203
01:51:27,400 --> 01:51:30,400
Speaker 1: It just feels like the Russell Wilson thing is inauthentic

2204
01:51:30,479 --> 01:51:33,120
Speaker 1: to many of the people that he's encountered in his career,

2205
01:51:33,439 --> 01:51:36,960
Speaker 1: and Peyton knows that's a recipe for losses and disaster

2206
01:51:37,600 --> 01:51:39,720
Speaker 1: in terms of the immediate future of the Broncos, and

2207
01:51:39,760 --> 01:51:41,479
Speaker 1: he's not here for it now. I'm fine with that.

2208
01:51:42,000 --> 01:51:45,479
Speaker 2: Miami Dolphins at Los Angeles Chargers, of course noteworthy because

2209
01:51:45,520 --> 01:51:49,000
Speaker 2: this is the debut of the Kellen Moore offense, also

2210
01:51:49,040 --> 01:51:52,280
Speaker 2: the debut of the Vic Fangio defense in Miami. What

2211
01:51:52,320 --> 01:51:54,520
Speaker 2: do you expect the SOFI Stadium tomorrow?

2212
01:51:54,600 --> 01:51:59,960
Speaker 1: Well, man, I mean this is too a healthy Again,

2213
01:52:00,000 --> 01:52:04,720
Speaker 1: it's justin Herbert paid and it's still Brandon Staley. But

2214
01:52:04,800 --> 01:52:07,439
Speaker 1: it's at LA. This is a game that the Chargers

2215
01:52:07,479 --> 01:52:09,760
Speaker 1: absolutely need to win. This is the kind of stuff

2216
01:52:09,800 --> 01:52:12,240
Speaker 1: they need, a Texas kind of game, right They stay

2217
01:52:12,320 --> 01:52:16,080
Speaker 1: needs this thing to go well early for him, and

2218
01:52:16,160 --> 01:52:18,320
Speaker 1: I think it will. I think this is a tough

2219
01:52:18,360 --> 01:52:20,439
Speaker 1: ass for Miami in Week one to go on the

2220
01:52:20,520 --> 01:52:24,679
Speaker 1: road to that place, to play that quarterback in that environment.

2221
01:52:25,320 --> 01:52:28,040
Speaker 1: I tend to think the Chargers will get this job done.

2222
01:52:28,080 --> 01:52:30,160
Speaker 1: But that's gonna be a good football game. There's gonna

2223
01:52:30,160 --> 01:52:31,679
Speaker 1: be some points scored on both.

2224
01:52:31,479 --> 01:52:34,240
Speaker 2: Sides last one, and then we'll do our picks in

2225
01:52:34,280 --> 01:52:39,439
Speaker 2: the next segment. Sunday Night Football. Cowboys Giants a NFC

2226
01:52:39,520 --> 01:52:44,719
Speaker 2: East rivalry. I mean, I'm just I'm just intrigued because

2227
01:52:44,960 --> 01:52:47,479
Speaker 2: another offseason of hype with Dallas. This one I think

2228
01:52:47,560 --> 01:52:49,840
Speaker 2: is justified. Listen, they're one of the more talented teams

2229
01:52:49,880 --> 01:52:53,200
Speaker 2: in a week NFC. Go on the road Week one

2230
01:52:53,360 --> 01:52:53,680
Speaker 2: and win.

2231
01:52:53,840 --> 01:52:54,559
Speaker 3: Prove us wrong.

2232
01:52:54,640 --> 01:52:57,719
Speaker 2: Obviously, we know about the New York Giants. Daniel Jones

2233
01:52:57,720 --> 01:52:59,880
Speaker 2: got paid, Saikwhon Barkley got paid. We all like, Brian,

2234
01:53:00,760 --> 01:53:01,519
Speaker 2: what do you expected this?

2235
01:53:02,080 --> 01:53:04,680
Speaker 1: I'm just down on the Giants generally compared to what

2236
01:53:04,720 --> 01:53:07,479
Speaker 1: they were. I think last year was a little over

2237
01:53:07,600 --> 01:53:10,840
Speaker 1: their skis. You got Darren Waller banged up, so he's

2238
01:53:10,840 --> 01:53:12,720
Speaker 1: probably not gonna be available, or if he is, he's

2239
01:53:12,760 --> 01:53:15,719
Speaker 1: not going to be full strength. And then you've got Dallas,

2240
01:53:15,720 --> 01:53:18,080
Speaker 1: who I do think is a pretty good football team.

2241
01:53:18,439 --> 01:53:21,240
Speaker 1: Ceedee lamb against that defense. I like that matchup. I

2242
01:53:21,320 --> 01:53:23,519
Speaker 1: like Pollard getting a lot of touches. I think Dallas

2243
01:53:23,520 --> 01:53:26,840
Speaker 1: goes on the road and beats the Giants a lot more.

2244
01:53:26,880 --> 01:53:30,479
Speaker 2: To get to here, week one, we are now what

2245
01:53:30,680 --> 01:53:32,800
Speaker 2: about twelve hours away.

2246
01:53:32,880 --> 01:53:35,639
Speaker 3: Little under twelve can't wait. It's coming.

2247
01:53:36,320 --> 01:53:38,280
Speaker 2: Speaking of coming, when we come back, we will make

2248
01:53:38,320 --> 01:53:39,880
Speaker 2: our picks for week one.

2260
01:54:16,400 --> 01:54:22,080
Speaker 2: Field on the call. There As Texas beats Alabama thirty

2261
01:54:22,080 --> 01:54:25,720
Speaker 2: four to twenty four in Tuscaloosa. Just a stunner in

2262
01:54:25,760 --> 01:54:29,360
Speaker 2: that one. As Texas is I don't know what they are,

2263
01:54:29,400 --> 01:54:33,880
Speaker 2: but they looked really good. Alabama cause for concern, no doubt.

2264
01:54:34,080 --> 01:54:36,800
Speaker 2: A couple quick updates in college football, usc putting the

2265
01:54:36,840 --> 01:54:40,640
Speaker 2: finishing touches on a forty nine to three final against

2266
01:54:40,640 --> 01:54:42,840
Speaker 2: Stanford isn't quite final yet, I should say about four

2267
01:54:42,840 --> 01:54:46,200
Speaker 2: minutes left. Caleb Williams has been out since the second

2268
01:54:46,200 --> 01:54:49,160
Speaker 2: possession of the second half, so it was quick night's

2269
01:54:49,160 --> 01:54:53,200
Speaker 2: work for him and Auburn is up fourteen to ten

2270
01:54:53,800 --> 01:54:57,440
Speaker 2: with the ball in the red zone against col looking

2271
01:54:57,480 --> 01:54:59,960
Speaker 2: like they will travel three thousand miles and as to say,

2272
01:55:00,160 --> 01:55:04,320
Speaker 2: Totles get their first ever win in the state of California.

2273
01:55:04,400 --> 01:55:07,120
Speaker 2: All right, as we do every every week during this

2274
01:55:07,240 --> 01:55:09,520
Speaker 2: time slot during football season, do you want to rip

2275
01:55:09,560 --> 01:55:12,800
Speaker 2: through some of these games? Make picks for Week one

2276
01:55:13,000 --> 01:55:15,480
Speaker 2: in the NFL? Lorana, give us a little football music,

2277
01:55:15,520 --> 01:55:18,200
Speaker 2: get us in the mood. Jason, We've talked about a

2278
01:55:18,200 --> 01:55:21,240
Speaker 2: lot of these games, but let's start with the AFC

2279
01:55:21,360 --> 01:55:26,280
Speaker 2: North matchup. Bengals a two point road favorite against the Browns.

2280
01:55:26,360 --> 01:55:29,360
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow, of course, just days removed from signing the

2281
01:55:29,440 --> 01:55:32,920
Speaker 2: richest contract in NFL history. Does Joe Burrow go to

2282
01:55:33,000 --> 01:55:36,000
Speaker 2: one to zero as the richest man in NFL history?

2283
01:55:36,080 --> 01:55:38,560
Speaker 1: I Mean, the only thing that would give me any

2284
01:55:38,600 --> 01:55:40,760
Speaker 1: pause is how healthy is he? You know, we haven't

2285
01:55:40,840 --> 01:55:43,240
Speaker 1: he hadn't been able to do a whole lot during

2286
01:55:43,280 --> 01:55:45,280
Speaker 1: the offseason. The ramp up period for him has been

2287
01:55:45,320 --> 01:55:48,200
Speaker 1: a lot different because of the injury. As long as

2288
01:55:48,200 --> 01:55:50,160
Speaker 1: he's healthy. I still like them, even on the road

2289
01:55:50,160 --> 01:55:52,320
Speaker 1: against Cleveland. Again, we've talked about it. The Browns are

2290
01:55:52,360 --> 01:55:55,600
Speaker 1: not going to be bad, but Cincinnati could be a

2291
01:55:55,600 --> 01:55:58,360
Speaker 1: Super Bowl champion, and this is the kind of game

2292
01:55:58,400 --> 01:56:01,320
Speaker 1: you win in division, even on the road. This is also,

2293
01:56:01,520 --> 01:56:03,440
Speaker 1: by the way, Burrow, I think he's one and four

2294
01:56:03,440 --> 01:56:06,880
Speaker 1: in his career against Cleveland, so I think he'll be

2295
01:56:06,920 --> 01:56:08,520
Speaker 1: two and four. I think they'll win the game.

2296
01:56:08,920 --> 01:56:09,600
Speaker 3: That's why I ask.

2297
01:56:09,680 --> 01:56:13,240
Speaker 2: By the way, a final in Berkeley, Auburn is taking

2298
01:56:13,280 --> 01:56:15,760
Speaker 2: a knee fourteen to ten. Auburn is gonna be cal

2299
01:56:16,520 --> 01:56:19,040
Speaker 2: I'm gonna, you know what, I'll go upset. Weird stuff

2300
01:56:19,080 --> 01:56:22,480
Speaker 2: happens in Week one, no doubt, and I think Deshaun Watson, listen,

2301
01:56:22,760 --> 01:56:28,240
Speaker 2: I'm with you and what we discussed earlier, the behavior, weird, creepy, whatever.

2302
01:56:28,760 --> 01:56:31,480
Speaker 2: But I also do think from the football perspective, having

2303
01:56:31,520 --> 01:56:35,560
Speaker 2: an entire offseason with your guys, an entire preseason, it's

2304
01:56:35,680 --> 01:56:38,240
Speaker 2: just different than what he experienced last year. I will

2305
01:56:38,240 --> 01:56:41,080
Speaker 2: go with the upset in Cleveland. Cleveland as the home

2306
01:56:41,200 --> 01:56:45,440
Speaker 2: dog gets the win. Let's go to next a game

2307
01:56:45,480 --> 01:56:48,040
Speaker 2: that we did just talk about momentarily just a few

2308
01:56:48,040 --> 01:56:52,720
Speaker 2: minutes ago, the Steelers, another home underdog, a two point

2309
01:56:52,760 --> 01:56:54,840
Speaker 2: dog to the San Francisco forty nine ers.

2310
01:56:54,960 --> 01:56:55,880
Speaker 3: Who you got win in this one?

2311
01:56:55,960 --> 01:56:59,520
Speaker 1: Jays, This was tough again because that's a tough place

2312
01:56:59,560 --> 01:57:02,480
Speaker 1: to go play, but because it is the month of September.

2313
01:57:03,000 --> 01:57:05,720
Speaker 1: I just think San Francisco is a complete football team.

2314
01:57:06,080 --> 01:57:08,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be really interested to watch this season to

2315
01:57:08,480 --> 01:57:10,920
Speaker 1: see if the Brock party thing is legit or if

2316
01:57:10,960 --> 01:57:13,560
Speaker 1: that was lightning at a bottle last year. We'll find

2317
01:57:13,600 --> 01:57:16,280
Speaker 1: out relatively quickly, I think. But I think San Francisco

2318
01:57:16,400 --> 01:57:18,880
Speaker 1: can go on the road and win this game relatively close.

2319
01:57:18,920 --> 01:57:21,240
Speaker 1: I think that two point number is probably about right.

2320
01:57:21,280 --> 01:57:22,520
Speaker 1: It's gonna be real close.

2321
01:57:22,880 --> 01:57:25,360
Speaker 2: I will take San Francisco's well really quick. We don't

2322
01:57:25,400 --> 01:57:28,720
Speaker 2: need necessarily a pick. But Commander's a seven point favorite

2323
01:57:28,720 --> 01:57:31,080
Speaker 2: against the Cardinals at home. Just feels like the last

2324
01:57:31,120 --> 01:57:35,000
Speaker 2: week or two there's been a little Commander's buzz. It

2325
01:57:35,120 --> 01:57:38,520
Speaker 2: feels like Sam Howell, Eric Bienemy, what do you expect

2326
01:57:38,520 --> 01:57:39,360
Speaker 2: from that team this year?

2327
01:57:39,640 --> 01:57:42,000
Speaker 1: I think they might surprise. I think they might be

2328
01:57:42,040 --> 01:57:44,760
Speaker 1: you know, this year's Giants, Sure, something like that. I

2329
01:57:45,160 --> 01:57:48,040
Speaker 1: think Howell there was a lot to like about Howell

2330
01:57:48,120 --> 01:57:51,600
Speaker 1: before that disastrous last season at North Carolina where the

2331
01:57:51,600 --> 01:57:53,600
Speaker 1: bloom fell off that rose. But I think b Enemy

2332
01:57:53,640 --> 01:57:56,080
Speaker 1: makes a big difference to their culture. They're not gonna

2333
01:57:56,120 --> 01:57:59,320
Speaker 1: have Chase Young tomorrow, which is gonna set back their

2334
01:57:59,360 --> 01:58:01,839
Speaker 1: defense a little bit. But I think they could definitely

2335
01:58:01,920 --> 01:58:03,880
Speaker 1: be a team that contends for a playoff spot in

2336
01:58:03,880 --> 01:58:05,480
Speaker 1: a wildcard spot. I don't think they have a shot

2337
01:58:05,480 --> 01:58:07,640
Speaker 1: at winning the division, but you think they can win

2338
01:58:07,720 --> 01:58:09,480
Speaker 1: eight games? Nine games? Yeah, I think so.

2339
01:58:09,840 --> 01:58:12,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's always a team or two that surprises. I

2340
01:58:12,080 --> 01:58:13,920
Speaker 2: think they could be it. As you said, not to

2341
01:58:13,960 --> 01:58:16,360
Speaker 2: win the division. That division is obviously tough at the top,

2342
01:58:16,360 --> 01:58:18,200
Speaker 2: but I could see them making and winning a wildcard.

2343
01:58:18,840 --> 01:58:22,360
Speaker 2: Another game we didn't talk about divisional game the NFC

2344
01:58:22,400 --> 01:58:25,520
Speaker 2: North the debut of Jordan Love is the full time

2345
01:58:25,520 --> 01:58:28,600
Speaker 2: Packers starter. He's obviously gotten starts before, but the Packers

2346
01:58:28,640 --> 01:58:32,560
Speaker 2: a slight underdog going to Chicago to face Justin Fields

2347
01:58:32,560 --> 01:58:35,360
Speaker 2: and the Bears. I'll just say this, Jason, they got

2348
01:58:35,400 --> 01:58:38,160
Speaker 2: Justin Fields, you know, way more weapons than he's had.

2349
01:58:38,200 --> 01:58:40,680
Speaker 2: It's not the best offense in the league, but we

2350
01:58:40,720 --> 01:58:42,960
Speaker 2: need to see some improvement from Justin Fields big year

2351
01:58:43,000 --> 01:58:45,920
Speaker 2: for him. I do have the Bears winning in Jordan

2352
01:58:46,000 --> 01:58:49,360
Speaker 2: Love's kind of again. His official debut is the full

2353
01:58:49,400 --> 01:58:50,200
Speaker 2: time Packers starter.

2354
01:58:50,400 --> 01:58:52,280
Speaker 1: I think you'll see some good things from Jordan Love,

2355
01:58:52,280 --> 01:58:53,840
Speaker 1: but I tend to agree with you. I think that

2356
01:58:54,360 --> 01:58:59,360
Speaker 1: Fields knows how important this season and even the early

2357
01:58:59,440 --> 01:59:02,600
Speaker 1: stages this season are to his future. They have gotten

2358
01:59:02,640 --> 01:59:05,360
Speaker 1: them DJ Moore, they have gotten them some help. They've

2359
01:59:05,400 --> 01:59:08,240
Speaker 1: gotten them some guys to play with out there. I

2360
01:59:08,560 --> 01:59:10,080
Speaker 1: think he's gonna come out and play with his hair

2361
01:59:10,120 --> 01:59:14,040
Speaker 1: on fire, challenge that Green Bay defense and Love probably

2362
01:59:14,080 --> 01:59:16,480
Speaker 1: makes a mistake or two and that'll be the difference

2363
01:59:16,480 --> 01:59:16,920
Speaker 1: in the game.

2364
01:59:17,120 --> 01:59:18,680
Speaker 2: Since we didn't talk about this one, we'll get to

2365
01:59:18,720 --> 01:59:21,520
Speaker 2: it really quick. Eagles a three and a half four

2366
01:59:21,560 --> 01:59:24,200
Speaker 2: point favorite in New England. I know we're all anti

2367
01:59:24,240 --> 01:59:28,320
Speaker 2: New England, but two new coordinators in Philly Super Bowl hangover.

2368
01:59:28,800 --> 01:59:31,120
Speaker 2: Can you see the scenario where New England pulls off

2369
01:59:31,120 --> 01:59:31,839
Speaker 2: the home upset?

2370
01:59:32,040 --> 01:59:36,240
Speaker 1: No, not again, Jalen Hurts, an Aj Brown a Devonte Smith.

2371
01:59:36,480 --> 01:59:38,920
Speaker 1: I don't care who's calling place. I know it's gonna

2372
01:59:38,920 --> 01:59:40,680
Speaker 1: be tough to score on New England. I know their

2373
01:59:40,720 --> 01:59:44,720
Speaker 1: defense is gonna be good, but I have no belief

2374
01:59:44,840 --> 01:59:48,160
Speaker 1: whatsoever in New England's offense. I think Philadelphia wins the

2375
01:59:48,200 --> 01:59:49,400
Speaker 1: thing by two touchdowns.

2376
01:59:49,880 --> 01:59:52,080
Speaker 3: Cowboys three and a half point favorite in New York.

2377
01:59:52,200 --> 01:59:54,360
Speaker 1: You like the Cowboys, I do buy a touchdown. I

2378
01:59:54,360 --> 01:59:56,440
Speaker 1: think I just think they're better. I think the Giants

2379
01:59:56,440 --> 01:59:59,120
Speaker 1: are a little bit overrated because I think that maybe

2380
01:59:59,160 --> 02:00:01,360
Speaker 1: you saw a little bit more last year than you

2381
02:00:01,400 --> 02:00:03,760
Speaker 1: thought you were going to. You need to go back

2382
02:00:03,760 --> 02:00:06,400
Speaker 1: to that feeling you had. I think they're a decent

2383
02:00:06,520 --> 02:00:08,720
Speaker 1: to good team, but I don't think there are anything

2384
02:00:08,760 --> 02:00:12,080
Speaker 1: particularly special. I think Dallas will expose Daniel Jones a

2385
02:00:12,080 --> 02:00:13,440
Speaker 1: little bit and get the win on the road.

2386
02:00:13,640 --> 02:00:17,800
Speaker 2: Last one Bills at Jets, Jets a slight home favorite underdog.

2387
02:00:17,840 --> 02:00:19,880
Speaker 2: Excuse me, I'll just say this. I'll take the Jets.

2388
02:00:19,960 --> 02:00:21,920
Speaker 2: I like him, I like them in this spot, I

2389
02:00:21,960 --> 02:00:22,560
Speaker 2: like them at home.

2390
02:00:22,800 --> 02:00:25,160
Speaker 1: So you took the Jets to win the division last week,

2391
02:00:25,160 --> 02:00:27,240
Speaker 1: I took the Bills. So here I'll take the Bills

2392
02:00:27,240 --> 02:00:30,880
Speaker 1: as well. Could see you being on thousand percent right,

2393
02:00:31,080 --> 02:00:32,520
Speaker 1: just like I think you could be one thousand percent

2394
02:00:32,600 --> 02:00:34,480
Speaker 1: right about the division. But I think the Bills win

2395
02:00:34,520 --> 02:00:35,919
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be a treat to watch.

2396
02:00:35,760 --> 02:00:36,400
Speaker 3: Gotta get out of here.

2397
02:00:36,400 --> 02:00:38,840
